Chapter 61: Revealing Your Mind
The people waiting next to him looked at the Lord of Guide like this, and they didn't dare to breathe.
The county lord of Guide seemed to be angry, pacing back and forth in the room, and then remembered, grabbed the little eunuch who came over to deliver the letter, and asked with a hideous face: "Are you sure, what they said is not the county lord of Hengning?" ”
The county lord of Guide still had the idea that the little eunuch had heard the wrong thing, but he saw the little eunuch crying with a sad face: "The slave really didn't hear it wrong, it really sounded, it's you, the county lord!" ”
The county lord of Guide let go of his hand: "How could it be?" How so? Why is it the lord of this county, it should be Sheng Zi'an's (jiàn) person! ”
She muttered, the maid in the house listened, and her heart was furious, the county lord is really, at this time, she has not forgotten to calculate the girl of the Sheng family!
"County Lord, be cautious, the wall has ears!" But the county lord of Guide is her master, and she can only remind her head-on, but the county lord of Guide can't listen to others at this time.
"The wall has ears! Sheng Zi'an, no matter how capable she is, can she still install people next to the county lord (shēn)? The lord of Guide reached out and pushed the maid to the ground, her eyes red, and she was crazy.
"Sheng Zi'an thinks that he is also the county lord, so he can be on an equal footing with me? Then she really looks up to herself, and she doesn't look at what she looks like, she can't do it! With that, she gasped and sat down in her chair.
After a little relief, she calmed down, her eyes rolled, and she stared at the little eunuch who delivered the letter: "You say, the emperor hasn't agreed yet?" ”
"Yes, the county lord, the eldest prince and the second prince of Xirong both wanted to ask to marry the county lord, but the emperor didn't agree to any of them." The little eunuch was frightened by the lord of Guide, and picked up what the lord of Guide liked to hear.
"Sure enough, Uncle Huang doesn't want me to marry into Xirong, after all, there is still my mother and the queen mother..."
"County master, the slave will go back to the palace..."The little eunuch was bought from the palace, and if he didn't go back when the time came, he would be suspected, and the county lord nodded.
Until the next day, there was no news in the palace, and the lord of Guide became more and more uneasy in his heart, so he had to change into palace clothes and enter the palace to greet the queen mother.
The Empress Dowager is not very comfortable, Aunt Liu helped the Empress Dowager rub her head after the Empress Dowager (shēn), and when she saw Princess Guide coming in, the Empress Dowager still smiled very kindly: "Guide is here?" Come on, come on, let the imperial grandmother see. ”
The lord of Guide stepped forward and found that the spices burned by the queen mother were something he had never smelled, so he asked casually: "Did the imperial grandmother change the incense, why is this smell a little strange?" ”
"This is not incense, a lot of it is medicinal herbs." The Queen Mother explained with a smile, "When the Sheng family girl came a few days ago, she saw that the mourning family was not sleeping well, so she specially smoked these medicinal herbs, saying that it could help you sleep,"
"I've been sleeping in mourning these days, and it's really much better than before."
The Queen Mother said, and Aunt Liu also nodded: "Miss Sheng is careful about this, the Queen Mother's spirit has improved a lot in the past few days." ”
The name that the county lord of Guide doesn't want to hear now is Sheng Zi'an's name, Sheng Zi'an is like he wants to replace himself, at first he snatched his absolute brother, and now even the queen mother is full of praise for her.
The lord of Guide only felt a sense of depression in his heart and wanted to express it.
"Grandmother! If Zi'an's medicinal herbs are so effective, why are you still uncomfortable today? She asked reluctantly, but in the eyes of others, her current god (qíng) was extremely reluctant.
The Empress Dowager's expression did not change, but she carefully looked at the county lord of Guide, and then slowly said:
"The mourning family is an old problem, the mourning family sometimes sleeps, the leg hurts uncomfortably, yesterday there was a night of trouble, and there is no use for any incense."
"Why do you ask that?" The Queen Mother waved her hand and signaled that Aunt Liu didn't need to press it.
"Aren't I curious, they all say that Zi'an's medical skills are good, but I don't understand what medical skills are all about, but the emperor's grandmother said yes, that's Zi'an's honor!" She hurriedly defended herself, feeling that the hostility in her words just now was too heavy.
"The mourning family is not as good as a day, and I don't know when it will be able to (tǐng), many of the things I haven't paid attention to before, but now I have to pay attention to everything..."The Empress Dowager continued.
"Zi'an came to the mourning family to take a look, and said that at the age of the mourning family, those heavy smelly incense can be used, or try not to use it, the mourning family already has asthma, and some of the incense smells are heavy, which may make the mourning family feel uncomfortable."
"The mourning family listened to Zi'an's words, stopped the incense in this room, and didn't know if it was their own thoughts, these days, I really feel that the breath has been smoothed a lot."
The Empress Dowager Niangniang Shen (qíng) is not unusual, but when she heard the word "incense", the heart of the lord of Guide County still jumped wildly.
Sheng Zi'an is no matter how powerful he is, his prescription is matched by a very powerful doctor outside...
Because of this matter (qíng), the lord of Guide didn't dare to mention Sheng Zi'an casually, but only observed the appearance of the queen mother, hoping to see a little clue about the marriage.
As a result, the Queen Mother was the same as usual, and in the end, the Lord of Guide County saw that the Queen Mother was already very sleepy, and she couldn't continue to rely here, so she could only retire temporarily.
After the county lord of Guide left, the tired demeanor of the Empress Dowager improved a lot, sat up straight, straightened her hair, and sighed.
"Niangniang, this Lord of Guide...."
"She wanted to see if the mourning family knew about the two princes of Xijon asking for marriage (qíng)."
"Then why didn't the county lord ask Niangniang directly?" Aunt Liu was still a little puzzled.
"This girl is old and has learned to play tricks with the mourning family, and the mourning family was almost really deceived by her, thinking that she really has no suspicion with the Sheng family girl! Now it seems that Guide has grown up, and even the mourning family has begun to deceive! ”
The Queen Mother was a little emotional.
Aunt Liu was afraid that the Queen Mother would be upset, so she hurriedly comforted: "Maybe the county lord is just thinking about some of the little daughter's family, don't worry too much about the Queen Mother...."
"The mourning family is worried about nothing else, and I don't know how the guide (xìng) son was raised, he can't tolerate people, his scheming is not so deep, and he looks nondescript, and he was compared to the Sheng family girl all of a sudden."
"This girl can't understand the painstaking efforts of the mourning family and the emperor, she has to get over the matter of the Jie'er (qíng), the Jie'er herself is in a difficult situation, and she finally chose the Sheng family girl, the princess of the mourning family, who reassures the mourning family, and Guide is so mixed up that it will inevitably make the situation of the Jie'er even more embarrassing."
Aunt Liu has been with the Queen Mother for so many years, and the Queen Mother has a lot of trust in Aunt Liu.
"That lady, this county lord..."
"Now it depends on what the emperor plans, the mourning family has no way to influence the emperor's thoughts, for so many years, the emperor has not heard the words of the mourning family, the mourning family is also old, and the children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren..."
The Queen Mother showed a tired look, looking a lot older.
After returning to the princess's mansion, the lord of Guide once again questioned the maid beside him (shēn): "Are you sure that when you went to get the medicine, no one saw it?" ”
"It's true, county lord, the slave maid walked all the roads according to your orders, and there was no one on the way, county lord, don't worry."
The maid was also scared in her heart, but she still comforted the county lord of Guide and said: "County lord, the matter (qíng) has passed for so long, and there is no evidence left, so don't scare yourself." ”
When the county lord of Guide thought about it, he also breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that he was thinking too much.
Unexpectedly, an hour later, in front of Shizi (diàn), a spy (shēn) dressed in a small costume: "Shizi (diàn), the matter (qíng) is confirmed, it is indeed the hand of the county lord of Guide to the queen mother." ”
Xiao Jue put down the pen in his hand: "Oh? ”
"According to your instructions, my subordinates watched every move of the princess's mansion, and I heard the county lord himself admit that the incense of the empress dowager last time was made by her, or the medicinal herbs that the maid next to her (shēn) personally went to fetch."
The corner of Xiao Jue's mouth showed a smile that seemed to be nothing: "My cousin, I really don't have a brain." ”
At first, she felt that the emperor did not agree to make peace because of the relationship between the queen mother and her mother.
But a few days have passed, and there is still no news at all, and the lord of Guide is becoming more and more uncertain, something is wrong!
At noon on this day, the lord of Guide had just finished his lunch when he heard the people in the courtyard say: "The holy decree has arrived!" The lord of Guide came out to receive the order! ”
The lord of Guide only felt that his heart trembled a little, and hurriedly tidied up his clothes, and with the support of the maid, he went to the courtyard to receive the order.
Kneeling on the ground, waiting for the holy decree to be recited, the lord of Guide only felt that his eyes were black, and he could not see clearly, and even the voice seemed to come from a long distance.
"Lord Guide, take the order!" The eunuch who delivered the decree softened his voice, and it became even more shrill, sounding (yīn) yang.
The maid next to the county lord of Guide (shēn) was worried that the county lord of Guide would do something rebellious and anger the emperor Tianwei (qíng), so she hurriedly whispered: "County Lord, take the order first, County Lord!" ”
Only then did the lord of Guide feel that his thoughts had returned, and his mind was a mess!
Your Majesty, the Emperor actually gave himself a marriage to the eldest prince of Xirong! That one who smells of cow and sheep (shēn), Prince Xijon!
The maid looked at the county lord of Guide (qíng) was not in good condition, and continued to persuade in a low voice: "County lord, if you have any doubts, you can go to the queen mother and Princess Anyang later, you don't accept the decree now, this is a protest against the decree!" Princess! ”
The eunuch who delivered the decree also felt that something was wrong with the lord of Guide, holding the holy decree and looking at the god (qíng) of the lord of Guide was a little strange.
