Chapter 59: The Queen's Mutation
Kunlun Mountain, Yao Pond.
The Queen Mother of the West raised her glass and said: "Brother Yuan Shidao, the old body will give you a cup to celebrate the joy of the great prosperity of the teaching." ”
Yuan Shi Tianzun smiled slightly, and was about to raise his glass to greet him, but a cold female voice suddenly came from the side: "Senior Brother Yuan Shi, even if it is time for you to explain the teachings, there is no need to embarrass my demon clan." Could it be that the Three Realms you want to rebuild, but there is no place for my demon clan?Senior Brother Tongtian, what do you think?"
The Tongtian Sect Master on the side echoed when he heard this: "What Senior Sister said is that if you want to come to the Three Realms rebuilt by Senior Brother Yuanshi, you can't tolerate evil demons like our demon clan. ”
Yuan Shi Tianzun hurriedly said: "Senior brother, junior sister, what are you talking about." In the future of the Three Realms, it is natural to need a part of the power of the demon clan. As a brother, how could he have made it difficult for his disciples to be with the demon clan?"
Nuwa snorted coldly: "Yang Jian under the Yuding Sect, you don't have to pretend not to know about hurting me and my Tongtian Dao brothers. ”
Yuan Shi Tianzun thought for a moment and said with a smile: "The juniors are just messing around, and the junior sister is too serious." ”
Nuwa sneered when she heard this: "Junior, that senior brother's personal disciple Yun Zhongzi is not a junior, how can he count the matter of him colluding with others to harm my subordinates?"
Yuan Shi Tianzun frowned slightly, and said to Yun Zhongzi on the side: "Yun Zhongzi, can there be such a thing?"
Yun Zhongzi had already had a case about this, so he stepped forward and said: "Master, the apprentice did not kill Niangniang's subordinates, but Deng Chanyu, the disciple of the old mother, wanted to get rid of the demon, so he came to the disciple to ask for advice. The disciple remembers the friendship of the same sect and gives one or two pointers, and the old mother must know all about it. ”
This trick led to the east, which suddenly made the old mother of Lishan stunned, and only said after a while: "Chanyu is indeed a disciple of the old body, but her entry time is still shallow, and her father is a courtier of the prince of Shang, and he wants to eliminate demons for the palace, but it is a human avenue, but there is nothing to say, and the mother still has to blame the old body." ”
When Nuwa saw that her friend Lishan's mother was also involved, she didn't want to make any more trouble, and stared at Yun Zhongzi and stopped talking.
Yun Zhongzi took the opportunity to step forward and said: "Niangniang, at this time, after all, it's still the little nephew, the little nephew is here to make amends for you." With that, he punished himself with a glass of wine, and then withdrew and turned away.
When Taiyi Zhenren saw Yun Zhongzi retreating, he stepped forward and smiled at him: "Senior brother is really eloquent, and he can even get away with Nuwa Niangniang's blame." ”
Yun Zhongzi glared at Taiyi Zhenren and said, "Be quiet, don't let Niangniang hear it." By the way, where are my spirit beads? It's been ten years, where did you get them?"
Taiyi Zhenren said with a smile: "Senior brother, don't be stingy, you have refined six spirit beads, but the junior brother only took one, why is the senior brother always worried? Senior brother rest assured, the spirit bead has been used by the junior brother, and it is guaranteed to be much better than the original usage of the senior brother." ”
Yun Zhongzi said strangely: "What other use can you have better than mine?"
Taiyi Zhenren smiled mysteriously and said, "Please wait and see, senior brother." ”
The first snow of Dixin's eight years came later than usual.
On November 16th, Xiaoxue, it is advisable to go to work, sacrifice, seek heirs, open light, not suitable for breaking ground, sailing, and burial.
On this day, the palace decreed that Ronghua Suda had made meritorious contributions in business and was promoted to a concubine, the head of the nine concubines.
Since the establishment of the Jiuchi Meat Forest in May, Huang Xue's Liuyun Palace has brought a total of two million yuan in profits, and Huang Xue's long-planned orphanage has finally begun to start construction on the outskirts of Chaoge, with King Shang as the head of the courtyard and Wang Weizi of Anping as the overseer, planning to start sheltering orphans in the world in June of the ninth year of Emperor Xin.
It is also a matter of making people, Yang Shufei's original feelings have become reality, but now Huang Xue lives in the Shufang Palace where she was back then, and she has become the third person in the palace, as long as there are no big mistakes, the promotion to the concubine position is just around the corner.
The palace people are the most snobbish, and they can naturally see that Huang Xue is favored, so no matter who sees her, they are respectful and flattering.
Compared with her, Yang Chonghua at this time, that is, Concubine Yang a year ago, looked particularly bleak at this time. She had no background, and everyone in the palace knew that she had angered the Shang king, so no one wanted to deal with her anymore.
At this time, there were less than ten people in her Chonghua Palace, and they were all old and weak, and the rest of the young and strong attendants Gong E were all arranged to work in Liuyun Palace.
Today is Yang Chonghua's 28th birthday. In the Chonghua Palace, she took the bronze mirror on the table, but saw that the person in the mirror was much more haggard than before. She sighed faintly and said to the personal lady, "Today, can you send someone to invite the king?"
The maid hesitated for a long time before she said, "Niangniang...... Slave and maid, you don't need to invite it. ”
Yang Chonghua was stunned and said angrily: "Why, even you dare not listen to my orders?"
When the maid heard this, she knelt on the ground with a puff and said, "Niangniang, it's really not that the slave maid doesn't disobey your orders, it's just that the king has strictly ordered that no one from the Hua Palace is allowed to invite him again, and the people sent before have been punished by the king, and now, no one dares to anger the king for Niangniang anymore." Please forgive me. ”
"No one is willing to go?" Yang Chonghua pointed to the old attendants outside the palace, and said sadly: "Do they dare not listen to the orders of the palace?"
The maid knelt on the ground, and although she did not dare to say anything more, her meaning was clear.
Yang Chonghua laughed miserably: "Okay, if you all refuse to go, then the palace will personally go over to invite the king." ”
The maid was shocked when she heard this, and hurriedly said: "Niangniang, you must not, if you anger the king again, you will be expelled from the palace." ”
Yang Chonghua said: "Then you say, what should the palace do now? If you live in the palace like this, watching the demon girl continue to charm the king, the palace would rather be expelled from the palace." ”
The maid persuaded: "Niangniang, the slave maid has also thought about it for you before. Now it is almost the end of the year, and since New Year's Day, all the wives in the palace, as well as the wives of the princes and ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, will go to congratulate the queen mother. It is better to pick a time when there is no one, and beg the queen to intercede in front of the king, maybe the king will forgive the mother. ”
Yang Chonghua frowned when he heard this, "Do you want to ask the queen?"
The maid persuaded: "Niangniang, this is the only way. ”
Yang Chonghua sighed: "That's the only way. ”
The two didn't know that Queen Jiang at this time was a little different from before.
In the main hall of the East Palace, King Jiang said to the chief manager Yang Rong expressionlessly: "Chief Manager Yang, you let everyone retreat, it's time for the palace to listen to the music." ”
Yang Rong glanced at Hu Yumei, who was standing next to the queen, holding a jade pipa, nodded and said respectfully to the queen: "The slave will retire." ”
When everyone in the hall retreated, Hu Yumei held the pipa, moved lightly, slowly came to the chair next to the queen and sat down, and said, "Niangniang, what song do you want to listen to today?"
The queen thought for a moment and said, "It's still the last one from yesterday." ”
Hu Yumei smiled, didn't speak, and plucked her jade fingers, and a melodious piano sound with a little mystery came out. The queen listened to the sound of the piano, but her eyes widened and widened, and she did not blink for a long time.
It wasn't until the sound of the piano had subsided that the queen slowly closed her eyes and showed a look of satisfaction.
Hu Yumei said at this time: "Queen Niangniang, these days the slave maid told you, then Su Daji confuses the king and disrespects the mother, how do you think to deal with it?"
The queen frowned, pondered for a long time, and then said: "Although Su Daji misbehaves and has no eyes in the palace, the matter of Liuyun Palace has some merit after all. According to the palace, the merits and demerits are offset and should be expelled from the palace. ”
Hu Yumei smiled faintly and said, "Niangniang, think about it again, and the slave will play another song for you." ”
Then, the sound of the pipa sounded again. And Queen Jiang still reacted the same as before.
After the song, Hu Yumei said softly: "Niangniang, can you think about it?"
The queen suddenly opened her eyes, her eyes were red, revealing a fierce killing intent, and she said sharply: "Su Da deserves to die." ”
When Hu Yumei heard this, she smiled, the seeds of hatred have been successfully planted, just waiting for it to blossom and bear fruit.
The thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve is a traditional Chinese New Year.
At the time of dinner that day, the king of Shang set up a family banquet in the East Palace as usual, and all the concubines in the harem were required to participate.
When Huang Xue arrived, there were already a lot of people there, and when they saw Huang Xue, they all greeted them very warmly. Entering the main hall, she saw that the king of Shang had not yet come, and Queen Jiang was dressed in festive attire and was sitting on a wooden chair in the middle with her eyes closed.
Huang Xue stepped forward and saluted the queen and said, "Concubine Su Daji greets Niangniang, I wish Niangniang good health and eternal appearance." ”
When the queen heard Su Daji's words, her body shook suddenly, her eyes suddenly opened, her eyes shot like a sharp sword, and she said coldly: "Su Daji!"
Huang Xue happened to look up at the queen at this time, and was immediately frightened by the queen's reaction.
The queen glanced at her, her sharp gaze was retracted, and she instantly returned to her former grace and luxury, and said lightly: "It's good that you're here, get up quickly." Such a change made Huang Xue wonder if she had hallucinated just now.
Not long after Huang Xue stood on the side, Huang Guifei also came, and after greeting the queen, she talked to Huang Xue about family life, but she was still as kind as usual.
Soon, the king of Shang also came, and everyone sat down, eating, drinking, chatting and laughing. It's just that Huang Xue ate this meal a little tastelessly, and from time to time she still recalled Queen Jiang's sharp eyes and cold voice just now, which made her shudder a little. She vaguely felt that the queen was a little different from the last time she saw her.
The next morning, Huang Xue got up, and after breakfast, the maid came to remind her that she needed to go to the queen to congratulate her.
She was already a little inexplicably afraid of the queen in her heart at this time, but the rules of the palace naturally couldn't help her not obey them.
