Chapter 90: The Queen's New Life III

When Zhang Erzhen went to Renshou Palace to see the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager was holding her head with "oops", and the palace maid waiting beside her looked at a loss. Seeing that Empress Zhang was coming, the Queen Mother's shouting voice became louder and louder, and she only stretched out her hand to signal Mama Chu to go over, "The mourning family can't live this day, let's pack up our things and go out of the palace, oops, the emperor is just that, now even the queen doesn't listen to the mourning family, the mourning family can't go on, let's go outside the palace, I knew that I wouldn't come back......" The Empress Dowager doesn't look like she's angry, but like a child who is playing tricks, Zhang Erzhen's anxious heart can be put down," What did the emperor and the queen mother say, you are so angry that you want to move out of the palace, you really shouldn't be, the concubines are afraid. ”

The Empress Dowager snorted with some dissatisfaction: "Why should the queen be afraid, the emperor wants to send away those poor people in the East Palace, the queen knows, right?"

"Huh?" Zhang Erzhen said that she was really confused, and asked: "The concubines don't know about this, when did the emperor say that he was going to send them away?"

Zhang Erzhen's surprise and suspicion did not seem to be fake, and the Empress Dowager took a breath and said: "There can still be a fake, the emperor specially came to say and listen to the mourning family." Those are all old people who follow the emperor, how can they treat them like this. The emperor dislikes them, Lao Zhuhuang has lost his charm, and he can also be brought into the palace to give a position, alas, such an act, wouldn't it be for others to seize the handle and say that the royal family is ruthless and unjust......"

"This ...... The concubine really didn't know. Or...... The concubines will order them to be taken into the harem?" Zhang Erzhen asked tentatively, but in fact, she didn't mean anything at all.

The Empress Dowager thought for a moment, shook her head and sighed: "The emperor personally said to the mourning family, if you go to do this again, it will not be the mourning family, and wait, wait and wait." "In the final analysis, the Empress Dowager doesn't care much about those women in the East Palace, and if she sends them out, she will send them out, so that better girls can enter the palace.

The Empress Dowager had the intention of compromise, so Zhang Erzhen retired, and after thinking about it, she decided to go to the East Palace to see those former sisters. Since Zhu Youzhu moved out of the East Palace, this place has become more and more desolate, and it will look bleak when there are fewer people. Shi Chenghui was the most direct, and he floated towards Queen Zhang several times, looking left and right to see if the queen mother came with a holy decree, but only saw the former concubine Zhen's gorgeous costumes, gold beads and silver chuan, which were very gorgeous. Some reluctantly asked the queen mother to say goodbye, and the three of them waited for the queen mother to speak.

It seems that without Zhu Youzhu in the East Palace, the relationship between the three of them is much more harmonious, there is no object of competition, and all the costumes look desolate. Shi Chenghui and Lu Zhaoxun are okay, Liang Chenghui is already wearing a very plain style, wearing a light green butterfly pattern corset, a simple falling horse bun, light eyebrows, and seems to have no desires.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, this palace has come to see you, give me a seat, don't stand. Zhang Erzhen sat on the top, which is where Wan Xian'er sat back then.

The three women sat down after thanking them, and Shi Chenghui couldn't help asking: "Queen Mother, did the emperor say when to take the concubine over, I always live in this East Palace, and the concubine is not down-to-earth in my heart......

Shi Chenghui was originally dazzled, and Zhang Erzhen still remembered the situation when she blocked the door of Ningyun Pavilion to see Zhu Youji, as if it was just yesterday. Zhang Erzhen smiled faintly: "The emperor has a lot of opportunities, and there are many complicated things recently, and there will always be a time to think of Shi Chenghui." ”

Shi Chenghui's face stiffened, his face was extremely ugly, his right hand tightened unconsciously but he didn't dare to make a mistake, this is the queen of the lord of the harem, and if he wants to have a position, he still has to rely on her. Shi Chenghui's expression was rich, and Zhang Erzhen was full of interest, but she was not interested in falling into the ground, and still cared: "Is Shi Chenghui not feeling well, seeing that it is winter, he should take care of himself, and if he does not serve well, he will order the sixth bureau to send people, you are all old men who follow the emperor, not everyone can bully him......" Shi Chenghui and Lu Zhaoxun were very moved, aren't they just very sad about their recent days, the food is not as good as before, and the embarrassing identity is sometimes not as good as the palace maid, only then did they feel that the queen was more merciful, and only heard the queen continue, "...... However, this palace heard that the emperor had some meaning, and wanted to send you to the temple, and this palace is here to ask, do you still have a home outside the palace, why don't you send you home?"

When this sentence came out, Shi Chenghui and Lu Zhaoxun were like lightning strikes, and before they could react, their instincts had already made them immediately kneel at Zhang Erzhen's feet and cry, "The queen is gracious, don't send the concubine away, don't send the concubine away, the concubine is the emperor's person, and the concubine will not go anywhere, not anywhere." "Niangniang is very kind, the concubines are not going anywhere, the concubines have no relatives outside the palace, the concubines are taken back by the emperor, the concubines want to see the emperor, and the concubines want to see the emperor. ”

Compared with Shi Chenghui and Lu Zhaoxun's panic, Liang Chenghui was much calmer, she just raised her eyes and glanced at the two poor people who were crying, and then knelt down and said: "The concubine is willing to go out of the palace and ask the queen to be fulfilled." ”

Zhang Erzhen had already asked Mama Qi when she came, and she also knew that these three women who had been with the emperor for many years were all perfect, and there were joys and sorrows in their hearts, happy that men like Zhu Youzhu belonged to her, and sad were women like Shi Chenghui. Now that Liang Chenghui has a place to go, it couldn't be better.

Liang Chenghui has seen through these days in the East Palace, and the emperor has no interest in her, and he can't even remember her name many times. She can imagine the days to come, although glorious, but lonely for a lifetime. Liang Chenghui knew that if he was released from the palace, there would be a large number of rewards, and his future life would be guaranteed, which would be much better than staying in this deserted place.

Zhang Erzhen was very pleased, there was always someone who could figure it out, and she said: "It's not the palace's idea to send you to the temple, the palace is just here to ask you today, if you have nowhere to go, it's about the end...... I'll still be sent to Jongmyo Temple. ”

"No——, the concubines won't go, the concubines won't go! The queen's mother is gracious, the concubines serve the emperor without merit and hard work, the queen's mother, you can't treat the concubines like this, the concubines want to see the emperor, the concubines want to see the emperor!" Shi Chenghui's hysteria did not exchange for Zhang Erzhen's slightest wavering, Zhang Erzhen looked at Lu Zhaoxun, and Lu Zhaoxun said in a panic: "Concubine...... The concubine has to think again...... Think again......"

"In the end, it's a sister, and this palace is righteous. After you think about it, let someone pass the word, and the palace is gone. Zhang Erzhen raised her feet, Shi Chenghui hugged her thighs without giving up, Zhang Erzhen looked down and saw her crying pear blossoms with rain, and she couldn't bear it in the end, "The Empress Dowager has agreed, if you insist on not complying, you may not be able to get out alive." Shi Chenghui, you have always been a smart person, you don't need to teach you these truths. ”

Shi Chenghui was stunned and didn't react, and didn't go out of the palace...... There is only one dead end?

When Zhang Erzhen left, the East Palace was still silent. Looking at the slowly moving white clouds in the sky, Zhang Erzhen shook her somewhat sore neck and prepared to go home. If your heart is not hard, how to be the master of this harem.

When Zhang Erzhen returned to Kunning Palace, it was already the end of the hour, and she read a book on the collapse for a while, and when it got dark, the people in the imperial dining room prepared dinner, and Zhang Erzhen sat at the table bored and waited for Zhu Youzhu to come back, just like waiting for her husband to return home after a hard day's work, this process was full of sweet happiness. But waiting left and right waiting for Zhu Youzhu still didn't come, Zhang Erzhen was about to tell Jin Qiu to take a look, Lu Gonggong had already walked in with a sad face, a wrinkled face, and said that it was strange that there was nothing to do, ......and sure enough, "The emperor sent the slave to come over and say to the queen mother, the queen mother will eat first, there is no need to wait." The minions retired ......"

"Wait. Zhang Erzhen got up and walked to Grandpa Lu's side, stared at Xiao Luzi's bitter face and said thoughtfully: "What else can't be known in this palace, Grandpa Lu said it's enough, where is the emperor?"

"This ...... Niangniang, aren't you embarrassed slaves......" Father-in-law Lu took a few steps back and wanted to slip away, Zhang Erzhen smiled and said: "If you don't tell this palace, this palace won't know?" ”

Father-in-law Lu is still hesitant, to say or not to say? Forget it...... Gonggong Lu suddenly looked at death as if he had made up his mind, and closed his eyes and said: "Back to the queen's mother, the emperor was called away by the people in Concubine Ruo's palace." The emperor was reluctant to go, but I heard that ...... If the concubine is sick, then go over and take a look. The voice behind became smaller and smaller, and then Gonggong Lu saw that the queen's face was pale, and she ran fast after saluting, and disappeared around the corner in a blink of an eye.

It was Bai Ruo who called Zhu Youzhu away...... , Zhang Erzhen sat back at the table and ate a few bites of the food in front of her - the taste is the same as chewing wax!

What kind of person is Bai Ruo, she is a fairy-like kind, elegant, and empathetic beauty! She used to be Zhu Youji's right-hand man, but now she is young and beautiful, and it is really a big hidden danger...... Zhang Erzhen put down the silver chopsticks irritably, pacing back and forth with her hands behind her back, do you want to call Zhu Youzhu back now, and say that she is not comfortable? Do you want to go to Bai Ruo Palace to sit down now, and the husband and wife comfort Concubine Ruo together? Zhang Erzhen's head irrepressibly thought of Li Zhi of the Tang Dynasty, thought of Wu Meiniang, and thought of Tang Taizong, will Bai Ruo copy Wu Meiniang's path and change from his father's little wife to his son's little wife...... Zhang Erzhen grabbed the thick soft hair on her head, walked into the room and lay on the bed extremely indecently.

Zhu Youji's little wife is not nothing, she has also disposed of three of them today, but why is this Bai Ruo so worrying? Bai Ruo Bai Ruo, after all, is also a poor girl, widowed at a young age...... Zhang Erzhen thought again that if Bai Ruo was willing to enter the palace, he must have loved Zhu Youji, and Zhu Youzhu naturally knew it, but he allowed the incident to happen, does this explain...... Zhu Youzhi is also interested in her?

From time to time there was the wailing of Queen Zhang in the room, and sometimes there was the sound of Queen Zhang vigorously moving the tables and chairs, and the girls who were locked out of the door gathered together and whispered with great worry, "What's wrong with the queen mother, could it be that she is not feeling well, do you want to ask the imperial doctor?"

"I think it's still what Grandpa Lu said that made Grandpa Lu angry, Mama, do you want to ask Grandpa Lu?" Jin Qiu always calmed down.

Mama Qi also had a bitter face, "In the past, the emperor would come back to accompany the mother to eat, but today I didn't come, it was about the queen's mother's ......" Small belly chicken intestines, not big enough heart?

Zhang Erzhen slammed open the door and said menacingly: "Come and prepare a sedan chair, go to Concubine Ruo." ”
