Chapter 11: Plum Blossoms on the Arm
In front of passing by Wan Qing's mansion, the queen mother vaguely heard a scream, and she immediately lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and said:
"Wait a minute."
A maidservant outside the golden sedan chair immediately stepped forward and asked the queen mother:
"Mother, what's wrong? There's the Prime Minister's Mansion in front of you, so why stop here? ”
"Oh, haven't you arrived yet?" The queen asked.
The maidservant pointed to the plaque on the gate of Wanqing's mansion and said:
"Queen Qiyu, this is the mansion of Wan Qing, the son of the prime minister."
The queen mother nodded and said seriously:
"How did I hear the wailing of a woman coming from this mansion?"
As soon as her words fell, there were a few more painful wails of Qin Meiniang in Wan Qing's mansion.
Then the servant girl said:
"Well, it seems that there is a woman's wail, which came from the mansion of the prime minister's son Wan Qing."
The queen was stunned and said:
"In broad daylight, how could there be a woman's screaming sound in this Wanqing's mansion, it's really uncomfortable."
Then the servant girl said:
"Niangniang, then let's hurry to the Prime Minister's Mansion."
The queen nodded, and was about to sit back in the sedan chair, but was attracted by Qin Meiniang's screams again, she immediately frowned and said:
"No, I have to go to Wanqing's house to see what's going on, why is there a woman screaming so badly, I've heard people say that this Wanqing is a lustful person, could it be that he is torturing some girl, this Wanqing is really not worry-free."
The maidservant said:
"What does Niangniang mean is that you want to go to this Wanqing's mansion first, and then go to the prime minister's mansion?"
The queen mother immediately got off the sedan chair and said to the guards on the side:
"Come on, follow me into this Wanqing's mansion and have a look."
"Yes." A large number of guards who accompanied him immediately spoke in unison.
The queen mother immediately led people to the gate of Wanqing Mansion.
When the guards at the gate saw the figure of the queen's mother, they all knelt down and said:
"See the queen's mother, the mother is a thousand years old."
The queen said seriously:
"Get up, I'm going to find Wanqing."
After finishing speaking, the queen mother immediately went to Wan Qing's mansion with the guards, and walked towards the small garden where Qin Meiniang screamed.
Soon, the queen mother came to the edge of the small garden with the guards, and the scene in front of her made her frown and full of unhappiness.
I saw that Wan Qing punched and kicked Qin Meiniang on the ground, beating her in pain, screaming from time to time.
The queen mother then shouted loudly from afar:
"Stop!"
Wan Qing was attracted by the queen's shouts, and he immediately stopped Qin Meiniang's fists and kicks and turned around.
Wan Qing's wife and his concubine were suddenly frightened when they saw the queen mother not far away, and then said:
"The queen is auspicious, Chitose Chitose Chitose."
Qin Meiniang fell to the ground, her whole body hurt badly, she felt that her eyes were blurry, she couldn't see clearly, and she was about to pass out at any time, her slender and white arms were exposed in her sleeves that were torn by Wan Qing, and she saw a pink plum blossom engraved on her arm, which was eye-catching.
The queen mother then strode forward, staring at Wan Qing with a serious face.
Wan Qing immediately gave the queen a salute and said:
"See the queen mother, mother Chitose!"
The queen pointed to Qin Meiniang, who was lying on the ground, and asked:
"Who is she? Why do you want to punch and kick her, you can really do it. ”
Wan Qing then said:
"Qi Yu Niangniang, she, she is the maid of my house, just because she was disobedient and violated the rules of my house, so, I wanted to teach her a lesson in a fit of anger, I didn't expect that Niangniang would drive my mansion, and I lost my welcome, and asked Niangniang to punish the crime."
The queen mother looked at Qin Meiniang who was walking on the ground, she was not wearing a servant girl costume, and thought, this Wan Qing is really taking me for a fool, this woman is not a servant girl at all, he actually dares to deceive me, it is really unusual, this is not open to say nonsense!
"Oh, you say she's your maidservant? But why was she not dressed in the garb of a handmaiden? Why are you lying to me? You're really bold enough not to take me, the queen mother, seriously. The queen said with a serious face.
After speaking, she casually saw the pink plum blossom pattern engraved on Qin Meiniang's arm, when she saw this plum blossom pattern, her heart trembled instantly, and the pink plum blossom instantly brought her memory to that snowy night twenty years ago.
Wan Qing saw that Qin Meiniang was indeed not wearing the clothes of a maidservant, his heart suddenly tightened, and he hurriedly defended:
"She, she's the maid I just recruited into the house today, and I haven't had time to let someone change her maidservant clothes, so she, she didn't wear the maid's clothes."
After finishing speaking, beads of sweat broke out on Wan Qing's forehead.
The queen mother slowly approached Qin Meiniang's side, her eyes staring at the pink plum blossom pattern on her arm.
Is she mine, my daughter of wretchedness? Is Ling'er you? It's been 20 years, and time is so fast......
The queen mother did give birth to a daughter twenty years ago, because the royal family has never had a son, so, as a queen, she can imagine how much pressure she had, originally she gave birth to a daughter, but in order to please the emperor, for her own queen's position, and the country of Jin Fengguo, she conspired with her midwife in advance to make a plan.
They planned that if she gave birth to a prince herself, everyone would be happy, and if it was a baby girl, they would find a way to replace the baby boy that had been prepared in advance.
Then, in bad faith, the queen mother finally gave birth to a baby girl on a snowy night, and according to the pre-planned plan, she had to be exchanged for another baby boy who had been brought in her.
In this way, the queen mother immediately carved the pink plum blossom on her biological daughter's arm as a mark, so that if they meet again in the future, this plum blossom carved by her own biological thorn is a certificate of recognition with her own daughter.
The queen couldn't believe the scene in front of her, in the past twenty years, although she has been thinking about her own daughter day and night, she has fantasized about her appearance countless times, but she didn't think about it, but today she unintentionally saw a woman who might be her daughter in this Wanqing mansion, which made her feel surprised and happy.
Wan Qing saw that the queen mother was looking at Qin Meiniang on the ground, he was stunned for a long time, he felt a little inexplicable, and then stepped forward and said:
"Queen Mother, I don't know what you came to my house for? Please go into the house to rest, I can't afford to stand like this and I'm tired of the phoenix body. “
The queen mother immediately came back to her senses, squatted down and turned Qin Meiniang over, looking at her delicate and beautiful face, she let go of her young face, at this moment, she secretly concluded that the seriously injured woman who fell to the ground in front of her must be her long-lost daughter, her emotions were suddenly uncontrollable, and her eyes couldn't help but be a little moist, but she tried her best to control her somewhat uncontrollable emotions, after all, there were so many people around.
