Chapter 353: Sending the Old Lady to Retire
The south courtyard finally made a fuss and returned to Licheng, the second old lady really couldn't stay, every day in front of the old lady, seeing the scenery, how could she feel good.
The so-called out of sight and out of mind, packed up and went back in a few days.
"I finally sent people away, and when I faced her again, I couldn't stand it. Isn't there just two stinky money, showing off all day long, if they really have the ability to do it, they don't have to travel thousands of miles to seek officials. ”
The second old lady left the first day, and the old lady entered the palace the next day.
Wu Dan took the grapes and put them on the small table next to Jiao Niang, and Jiao Niang listened to the old lady's chatter while picking them up and eating.
To be honest, she heard these words cocooned.
But because of her respect for the old man, she couldn't interrupt, so she just listened to her left ear and her right ear.
The green grapes are crystal clear, and you can bite into a stream of sweet water.
The flesh was bursting out from the pressure of the teeth, and the old lady turned around, "I heard that the emperor is going to be drafted in the golden autumn?"
Jiao Niang's chewing action froze, raised her eyebrows and looked at her, and then looked at the girl with a slightly shy expression on her face next to her, and instantly understood.
She said, how can she take her niece and granddaughter into the palace today, it turns out that she still has this plan.
Jiao Niang said slowly: "Really?"
"yes. Zhao Qian said hurriedly.
After finishing speaking, his face was flushed again, and his voice was like a mosquito sound, "Now the unconventional official ladies in the capital have begun to prepare, and yesterday my mother took me to make a few new clothes." ”
The old lady smiled and patted Zhao Qian's hand and said, "Then you have to prepare well, and when you enter the palace in the future, you can help your cousin." ”
Zhao Qian's cheeks were like sunset, "How can I have the ability to help my cousin? ”
The old lady smiled comfortingly, turned her head to Jiao Niang and said, "Jiao Niang, your grandmother will hand over the matter of your cousin's draft." Grandmother is also good for you, you can't have someone you trust around you, Qian'er is obedient and knowledgeable, she must be able to help you. ”
Coincidentally today, Qing Huan came to the palace, and just coaxed Brother Tuan to sleep in the side hall, and when he came in, he heard the old lady's words.
"The old lady's words are not right, the emperor has been pampering the queen for many years, and he loves him so much, how can he still need the help of others?"
The old lady smiled like a chrysanthemum, and said with a horizontal eyebrow: "So you also entered the palace?" Even though Qinghuan is now the official lady, in the eyes of the old lady, she is still the little maid.
Seeing that Qing Huan didn't salute her like before, without being respectful, the boss was unhappy, she said in a weird manner: "If you want to say that Qing Huan has a good life, she married the guards around the emperor, and now she has become the wife of a big official with the master's scenery." You say, who would have thought that a little maid could become an official wife?"
He said to Wodan: "Wodan, you have to learn." ”
Wordan grudgingly smiled at her, not answering her words.
Qing Huan couldn't help but roll her eyes, and said with a smile: "Yes, I have a good fate, and I followed a good master." But no matter how good my life is, I don't have the best life of my master, I am loved by the emperor and treated it wholeheartedly. ”
Qing Huan looked at Zhao Qian, in the middle and upper posture, she should be the most outstanding girl in the Zhao family, compared to her master, it is simply a heaven and an underground.
The old lady heard what she said, pursed her lips and said: "Qinghuan's words are not wrong at all, our family's Jiao Niang's life is good, otherwise how can she be a queen." "Stop," but ah, this woman always has a time when she is old, and men like young people, if some restless person is selected in the draft and seduces the emperor over, how can it be good. ”
Standing up with a smile and pushing Zhao Qian to Jiao Niang's side, "It's different when Qian'er enters the palace, if she can be favored, you two sisters join forces in the harem, and the harem is your sisters' world." ”
That Zhao Qian will also climb the pole, as soon as the old lady finished speaking, she knelt down to show her loyalty, "Qian'er must be the only one who is the queen." ”
Jiao Niang's cold gaze fell on the top of her head, with a sneer on the corner of her mouth, she picked up another grape, tasted it slowly, and waited for the old lady to frown, Fang said: "Cousin Qian'er's heart is understood by this palace, you are so well-behaved, this palace also wants you to come into the palace to accompany me." ”
Zhao Qian's face immediately smiled, and she said happily: "Thank you, Queen Mother." ”
"Don't be in such a hurry. Jiao Niang raised her hand and stopped her words.
Zhao Qian's expression froze, and when she saw Jiao Niang, she smiled and said, "This palace likes you, but it's a pity ......"
"What is a pity?" the old lady and Zhao Qian said in unison.
Jiao Niang said: "It's a pity that the emperor canceled the draft." ”
The old lady stood up excitedly, "What?" and Zhao Qian glanced at each other, Zhao Qian said eagerly: "How could it be? This year is the first year of the emperor's ascension to the throne, and according to convention, the new emperor will be drafted." ”
Jiao Niang said indifferently: "Yes, the emperors of the past dynasties will indeed be drafted in the first year of their accession to the throne, but unfortunately, this year's Shandong disaster, the emperor has canceled it in order to save the treasury expenditure." It may be that the Ministry of Zhongshu has not yet issued an edict to cancel the draft. But it's fast, just these two days. ”
Eating grapes is a little sweet, Jiao Niang took a sip of tea, and under the pressure of the two of them staring at her with wide eyes, she said slowly: "Actually, even if it is not affected, the draft will still be canceled." The emperor said, I am the only one in this harem. ”
The last sentence she said was to the old lady.
How could she not be angry?
The girl of the Hua family, because her so-called family interests have been fully utilized by her through marriage, and now she wants to step on her head to use her mother's family as a stepping stone, what is her Hua Jiaoniang!
The old lady felt Jiao Niang's anger, and there were a few wisps of fear in her heart, and she didn't know when she was a little afraid of this granddaughter.
But at the same time, he was unhappy, his lips drooped, and he sat there sulking.
Zhao Qian looked lost and muttered to herself, "How can it be? The emperor is all three thousand in the harem, how can he not be drafted?"
Qing Huan leaned at her and said: "The emperor and queen are in love with each other, and their love is stronger than Jin, so naturally no one can insert it." Don't say 3,000, it's 30,000, and the emperor only has the queen in his eyes. Then he smiled at the old lady and said, "Old lady, you have wasted your efforts this time. ”
The old lady glanced at her and snorted, "Count me in trouble." He got up and left, and after taking two steps, he realized that Zhao Qian was still thinking hard and sad, and shouted angrily: "Don't leave yet." ”
Zhao Qian immediately hurriedly saluted Jiao Niang and followed.
Jiao Niang's face immediately drooped, she is also a woman, but she regards the women in the family as a tool for the prosperity of the family, Jiao Niang doesn't know whether it is hateful or pathetic.
"Wu Dan, don't present the post of the old lady entering the palace in the future. By the way, isn't the old lady going back to Licheng in a few days, you take the time to go back to Yongchang Houfu, and tell your father that the old lady is old, so don't toss and toss in the future, let her rest assured in Licheng to retire. ”
