Chapter 167: There is a kind of affection that comes naturally
Empress Dowager Li was moved, but when she saw the white jade Guanyin statue again, she immediately blamed herself: "What do you want? Isn't it just a little eunuch? Empress Dowager Chen is not ashamed, are you not ashamed? However, when she thought so, another voice in her head quickly retorted: "Yes, isn't it just a little eunuch, let him press it and hit it tightly, what are you afraid of?" ”
The two thoughts were intertwined, but the words of refusal had already been said: "Forget it, there is no shortage of mourners today, you just sit next to you and talk to the mourners!" ”
Chen Mo listened to her tone and couldn't refuse, and felt a little sorry, but he didn't want to force it, so he had to take his mind and not dare to think about it anymore, so he obediently moved a pestle and sat at her feet.
"By the way, Niangniang hasn't said what happened to Empress Dowager Chen?" It was only then that he remembered this crucial question again.
"What?" Empress Dowager Li was in a trance, and then she reacted and said, "Empress Dowager Chen? What else? Shortly after you left last night, she returned to Cining Palace. Look at her expression before leaving, the mourning family didn't care about talking to her, I think I was afraid that even the mourning family hated it...... The mourning family hasn't said anything about you, and so are you, just let Han Rongfa admit the matter of Zhaoling, and you have to draw snakes and add to it, and pull the eunuch on the bed......"
When she said this, she couldn't help but glance at Chen Mo, and when she saw him with his chin upturned and staring at herself, she couldn't help but have a hot face, and she turned her face away again, and coughed lightly: "What do you see?" Believe it or not, the mourners dug you up with those tricks? ”
These words were a little bit of a little daughter's state of shame, Chen Mo's heart rose again, and he smiled. cheekily said: "I'm not afraid to dig up the minions, who makes the mother look good?" ”
"Phew. Glib! Empress Dowager Li couldn't do anything about Chen Mo, so she only took a sip. simply stopped looking at him and brought the topic back again: "At the beginning, you told our family that Han Rongfa must have eaten the brain of a child, but the mourning family actually didn't believe it, and I didn't think of it...... This man can't stay, what did you do with him? ”
Chen Mo hurriedly told Empress Dowager Li about going to Yanxi Palace last night to see the driver. After finishing speaking, seeing that Empress Dowager Li was focused, her eyes were shining, and a wise and concerned look flashed, and she couldn't help but tell her about her handling of Erzhang and Shen Shixing. I'd like to hear what she thinks.
Empress Dowager Li didn't speak until he said that he would go to see Shen Shixing this morning, then he sighed faintly and said slowly: "You handled it quite remarkably." Han Rongfa can't stay, there is no doubt about this, there is no need to say more. As for Zhang Siwei, the mourning family already saw that he was too tactful and not a reliable person, and they had reminded Taiyue in the past. Pity...... Hmph, he first conspired with Zhang Whale to get rid of Feng Bao, and now he wants to turn over Taiyue's old accounts, I'm afraid that the heavens won't be able to stand it. It's a matter of time. On weekdays, he looks at things and is quite old, and he is loyal to Taiyue, but he even colluded with Zhang Whale? It seems that the right thing is really powerful. In order to get it, the world really does everything to the extreme! ”
"yes!" Chen Mo nodded in agreement.
At this time, Chun Tao had already used a hot towel to clean the face of Empress Dowager Li. He was kneeling behind her and kneading her shoulders. Siqi also washed the fruit, made tea, and knelt on the carpet opposite Chen Mo and listened to the two quietly. His brows furrowed slightly, and his eyes fell on Chen Mo's face, faintly worried.
Chen Mo gave her a look back to show comfort, and then looked at the Empress Dowager Li again and asked, "Niangniang, you said, Zhang Siwei is worried, and the slave also told Wan Sui Ye about Shen Shixing's collusion with Zhang Jing, will Wan Sui Ye let him take over as the first assistant?" ”
Empress Dowager Li didn't answer immediately, but pondered for a while, then nodded imperceptibly, and said with great certainty: "Yes, the emperor of the first assistant will definitely be handed over to Shen Shixing." You still don't know the emperor, he is smart and smart, but he has a problem, he is too arrogant, thinks too highly of himself, and rarely changes his mind about what he believes. ”
As he spoke, he changed his words: "But you don't need to worry, you took the initiative to find Shen Shixing this morning, although this move was a bit Meng Lang, but it also disrupted his position to a certain extent, I am afraid that I will have to make a good choice between you and Zhang Whale." ”
"Minions?"
"Hmph, you recognize Feng Bao as your father-in-law, and Feng Bao is ready to let you take over the head of Zhang Feng Group, don't you tell the mourning family about this, do you think the mourning family doesn't know?"
Chen Mo gasped, was stunned by Empress Dowager Li, and was stunned for a long time before he recovered, and said with a wry smile: "It turns out that the mother knows it, the slave is not intentionally hidden, it is really, it is really ......"
"Okay, no need to explain, the mourning family only hopes that after successfully taking over the leadership, you don't have to let down Taiyue under Jiuquan, otherwise, if you don't need others, the mourning family will kill you first!"
In love, women are really blind. Queen Mother, Queen Mother, what is so good about Zhang Juzheng that you can spare no effort to defend him after he dies?
Chen Mo suddenly thought that the reason why Empress Dowager Li was so good to herself was probably not what she imagined at all, but just stained with Zhang Juzheng's light. After being hit hard, I couldn't help but become more and more envious of Zhang Juzheng.
"Niangniang rest assured, Taiyue Gong is the person most admired by the slaves, I never imagined that there would be a chance to inherit his legacy, and I will do my best, even if I am broken to pieces, I will fulfill his wish to prosper the Ming Dynasty." Chen Mo said, and secretly said in his heart: "Isn't this Lao Tzu's wish?" ”
"Very good, the mourning family really didn't misunderstand you!" Empress Dowager Li said, glanced at the white jade Guanyin statue not far away, and suddenly waved her hand: "Okay, it's not early, the mourning family is going to worship the Buddha, you can step down...... By the way, over there in Cining Palace, you have to be careful. Siqi, you send him! ”
Chen Mo didn't understand why Empress Dowager Li said it was so good that she suddenly gave an eviction order, and when she looked at her, the white jade Guanyin seemed to enter her eyes, and she understood it, knowing that she must have remembered Zhang Juzheng again, and she was secretly jealous in her heart, but she didn't say much, so she got up and said goodbye.
There was nothing to say all the way, until she left the main hall and got off the Dan Majesty, Siqi took the lead and said: "Shaoyan, Niangniang's worries are reasonable, last night's incident, you did have a little time, Chen Lao Niangniang, I'm afraid I will hate you to the bone." She is the queen mother of the main palace, and the mother has to be careful about three points, in case she really troubles you, we are really worried......"
"We also know, but the matter has come to this point, and it is useless to worry, it is impossible for the soldiers to come and cover up the water!" Looking at Siqi's worried face, Chen Mo secretly despised himself, and hurriedly withdrew his mind from Empress Dowager Li, seeing that the two had walked to the road between the apse and the front hall, and there was no one around, he suddenly reached out and grabbed Siqi's shoulder and dragged him into his arms:
"Don't move, you also heard it just now, Zhang Whale hates us, and now Empress Dowager Chen also hates us. We are just ordinary little eunuchs, who are missed day and night by these two big men in the harem, and our heads are no different from pinning them to our belts, and we may be cut off by him on every thought one day. We know that you are afraid of people laughing at us, but aren't you afraid that one day we will suddenly die and regret it? Don't hide from us anymore, right? When we have time, let's go and beg Niangniang, this time when we go back to Zhaoling, you will go back with us, okay? ”
Suddenly hugged by Chen Mo, Siqi was struggling desperately at first, but after hearing it, he gradually became honest, and finally simply leaned his head on his shoulder, and asked dreamily: "Don't you really dislike the slave family?" ”
"Disliked!" Chen Mo smiled, feeling Siqi's body stiffen, and his head left his shoulder, he couldn't help but sneer, and continued: "Our family, who dislikes your love so much, is going to die, and I have to die to hold on, and I have been worrying about our family for so long. We're going to punish you! ”
"How is it punished?" Siqi asked, and before she could react, she felt the heat hit her face, and her lips had been blocked by Chen Mo......
After a long time, Chen Mo got what he wanted, his body and mind were comfortable, and he smiled and looked at Siqi who was like a monkey with a red face.
"See what?" Siqi brushed her face, and seeing that Chen Mo still looked hateful as if she was smiling, she couldn't help but stomp her feet and said, "Don't be complacent, Niangniang won't let the slave family go to Zhaoling with you!" ”
"Niangniang feels sorry for us, so she is reluctant to let our family stay alone in the empty room...... Oops, how did you forget about that? As he spoke, Chen Mo's mind swept over the statue of the white jade Guanyin, and he couldn't help patting his head: "You go back, we have to leave quickly, and I will come back to you when I have time!" ”
"Hey, what's the matter?" Siqi's heart was suddenly beating by Chen Mo's startled, and she hurriedly asked, but Chen Mo had already let go of her, and strode out, without answering at all, looking in a hurry, which made her more and more worried. (To be continued......)
