Chapter 356: Stupidity (1)
On weekdays, Emperor Zheng and Concubine Zheng will definitely make inquiries.
However, today, Emperor Zheng Guifei was in a very bad mood, and she was not in the mood to be in a false relationship with Princess Shouning. After meeting, they nodded to each other. Emperor Zheng's concubine left the Jiaofang Palace.
Princess Shouning came to see Queen Pei on purpose, but she pounced, and a pair of willow eyebrows suddenly frowned: "Where did the queen mother go?" β
A palace maid replied respectfully: "Back to Her Royal Highness the Princess, the Queen Mother went to the Baohe Palace." β
This answer is also to be expected.
In the two days since Empress Pei returned to the palace, she almost stayed in the Baohe Palace. Princess Shouning couldn't enter the Baohe Palace, and it was useless to be anxious in her heart.
Princess Shouning didn't know what she was thinking, and her face changed. She stood there for a moment, bit her lip vigorously, and plucked up the courage to go to the Bohol Temple.
There was no court meeting today, and Emperor Xuanhe only summoned a few ministers to the Baohe Palace to discuss matters. Outside the Baohe Palace, there were a group of royal guards dressed in soft armor on duty.
Among them is Pei Zhang.
Princess Shouning and Pei Zhang are cousins. Pei Zhang has been the second prince's companion for a few years, and he has the opportunity to meet Princess Shouning from time to time, and he is quite familiar with it.
As soon as Princess Shouning appeared, Pei Zhang knew that something was wrong, stepped forward quietly, and asked in a low voice, "Why did Her Royal Highness the princess come here?" β
Princess Shouning replied in a low voice, "I want to see the queen mother." β
Pei Zhang's gaze quickly swept over Princess Shouning's pretty face.
What is the "mother-daughter relationship" between Princess Shouning and Queen Pei, he is in the palace and has heard about it for a long time. In fact, since last autumn hunt, Princess Shouning and Yuan Silan teamed up to frame Cheng Jinrong, he was extremely disgusted with Yuan Silan, and he didn't have a good impression of Princess Shouning.
It's just that the Pei family has already boarded the ship of the second prince. Princess Shouning is the twin sister of the second prince and has a close relationship with each other. His personal likes and dislikes are not important at all, and they must never be revealed.
"The queen mother is indeed in the palace." Pei Zhang's voice was very calm: "However, the emperor has already strictly ordered that no one should enter the Baohe Palace. Her Royal Highness the princess wants to see the queen's mother, you might as well ask the chamberlain to pass it on to see if the mother agrees. β
was told by Pei Zhang that the mother and daughter were not harmonious, and a trace of embarrassment flashed in Princess Shouning's eyes. However, she can't care about these things now: "What my cousin said is reasonable. I didn't know much about the chamberlain guarding the door, so I asked my cousin to speak on my behalf. β
Pei Zhang couldn't refuse, so he had to respond.
β¦β¦
After a stick of incense, the attendant of the pass came: "Please ask Her Royal Highness the princess to enter the palace with the servants." β
Princess Shouning breathed a sigh of relief.
Queen Pei finally didn't embarrass her daughter too much.
Emperor Xuanhe and his ministers deliberated in the main hall. Empress Pei was in the side hall, and there was a beautiful girl in a green official uniform waiting in the side hall. The girl didn't know what she was whispering, and Queen Pei smiled dumbly when she heard it, and her eyes were as gentle as water.
Cheng Jinrong!
What a ghost! Stay by Queen Pei's side every day. is more loved by Queen Pei than her, the dignified princess Chu.
Princess Shouning's heart was full of jealousy, and she couldn't help but stare at Cheng Jinrong fiercely. Cheng Jinrong didn't take Princess Shouning's unkindness to heart, but Queen Pei sank her face and glanced at Princess Shouning warningly.
Princess Shouning gritted her teeth, swallowed the anger in her heart unwillingly, and stepped forward to salute: "My daughter has seen the queen mother." β
The mother and daughter were separated for a few months, and there was no touching scene with tears in their eyes when they met at this time.
Princess Shouning's respect was alienated, and Queen Pei also looked pale and lukewarm: "Flatten!" You came to the Bohol Hall to see the main palace, but what happened? β
Princess Shouning was extremely aggrieved in her heart, and blurted out: "Isn't it the most important thing for my daughter to want to see her mother?" β
Empress Pei was not moved, and said lightly: "I will only give you one chance." If you don't say it, you don't have to say it again. β
Princess Shouning: "......"
Princess Shouning's pretty face suddenly turned red, and her eyes flashed with humiliation, anger, and she was unwilling to complain.
She is the only daughter of the queen mother, and the queen mother ...... How could the queen mother do this to her!
However, Queen Pei was not half distracted, nor did she have the intention of coaxing Princess Shouning, so she sat quietly and waited for Princess Shouning to open her mouth.
"I have a matter that I want to ask for my mother." Princess Shouning endured the humiliation and opened her mouth: "Let the palace people and irrelevant outsiders retreat!" β
This irrelevant outsider obviously refers to Cheng Jinrong.
Cheng Jinrong was actually not interested in what Princess Shouning wanted to say. It's just that Princess Shouning is Queen Pei's "daughter", and if she does something stupid, she will definitely implicate Queen Pei.
Therefore, Cheng Jinrong left confidently.
"Why don't you step down!" Princess Shouning finally seized the opportunity to attack: "I talk to the queen mother in private, and you can't listen!" β
Cheng Jinrong responded indifferently: "Wei Chen is waiting in the side hall, in case the emperor calls for a doctor at any time." Without the emperor's orders, how dare Weichen retreat! β
Princess Shouning's eyes spewed sparks: "You ......"
"Shouning," Empress Pei's face sank, and her voice was cold: "If you are here to intercede for Yuan Silan, you don't have to open your mouth." β
Princess Shouning was taken aback, and she couldn't compete with Cheng Jinrong anymore, so she begged urgently: "Queen Mother, Cousin Silan has been in Dachu for a year and a half. The Tatar Khan raised his troops, and Cousin Silan didn't know anything about it. How can this be blamed on my cousin? After his father returned to the palace, he didn't even see his cousin, so he made Liuhua Palace sealed. This is so unfair to my cousin! β
"I came to see my mother today because I wanted to ask my mother to say a thing or two for my cousin in front of my father. At the very least, I should listen to my cousin's confession. β
As soon as these words came into his ears, Cheng Jinrong was also a little incredulous.
This Princess Shouning was simply coaxed by Yuan Silan to the point of being dizzy!
Empress Pei also looked angry: "The Tatars did not keep the letter of state and tore up the truce. Da Chu and Tatar are fighting, and I don't know how many innocent people and soldiers will die. β
At such times, the people are panicked and uneasy, and the hearts of the people in the DPRK and China are uncertain. Your father didn't kill Yuan Silan directly, but only put him under house arrest in Liuhua Palace, which is already very lenient. Do you want to let him out and swagger around, showing that the favor of the Holy Grace is not good? β
"You're a little confused, that's it. He made such a stupid move at this time! I don't know what to do! β
Empress Pei usually speaks softly, but occasionally she is unhappy, and she only keeps a calm face. There has never been such a furious opening of the mouth to scold as now.
Princess Shouning was scolded so that tears rippled and she knelt down with a plop: "The queen mother is angry." What the queen mother said, the daughter understands in her heart. Cousin Ke Silan is his daughter's fiancΓ©, and her daughter can't bear to see him under house arrest. The daughter begged her mother, and begged her mother to save him. β
