The Empress Dowager Cheng of Ninghui Hall got such news from the female history, and she felt funny and angry, a Mrs. Cen was very bold and dared to break with a princess, it was really a farce.

She didn't say anything, and directly ordered the female official to write a decree, "Pass on the mourning order: take away the order of Mrs. Cen Yu's three-grade lady, drop the five-grade pleasant, and you will not be allowed to sit in a sedan chair when you enter the imperial city." ”​

The female official wrote the truth according to what the Queen Mother said, and immediately presented it to the Queen Mother, but she didn't dare to believe it, but she didn't ask about it, and immediately convicted Mrs. Cen, "Master, you immediately convict her, is this ......" How to give the emperor some face...... The emperor has always been lenient to the Cen family historians, if he knew that the Queen Mother would be convicted immediately, he was afraid that he would feel that the Queen Mother intended to target, and then it would be time to tear his face again.

"Do you think the mourning family's approach is radical and hasty?" In fact, the Queen Mother also knows what the female official wants to say, this is her confidant, and she never hides some things.

The female official lowered her head, she did have this meaning, this crime was indeed set radically and hastily, if the Yu family did not accept the trouble to the emperor, and just came back from praying for blessings, not to mention meritorious, it was also considered hard work, even if she was dissatisfied, she would have to issue a decree to punish her in a few days.

After a while, the Queen Mother said slowly, "The mourning family doesn't trust the granddaughter-in-law, do you want to trust an outsider?" No matter which granddaughter-in-law encounters this, the mourning family will do it, not in favor of Princess Ning. ”

"There are too many people offended by the Cen family, if the mourning family will not punish the big commandment and let it develop, the Shi family will pass away in the future, and people will go to tea and cool, then the two families will fall into decline. Instead of that, now the mourning family is punished with a big warning, warning them that if they know how to converge, they will have the honor of a long stream, just looking at the emperor's momentum for the two families, it should be able to continue for decades. ”

"What's more, the male in the family is not an official of the imperial court, but Mrs. Cen is a third-grade lady, and she doesn't know how to restrain herself, she has already angered the court officials, and in the long run, the impeachment of the two families will accumulate more and more like snowflakes."

All in all, the queen mother still thinks about the emperor, in fact, she has the emperor in her heart, a child who is not born of her blood, if it were not for the first queen, her mother-son relationship with the emperor would not be so stiff and deteriorated. However, this stiffness worsened unilaterally by the emperor. She wants to think about herself, her children and the Cheng family, but the emperor is also her child, and she will not sit idly by and ignore some things. Let her know that he is wrong but want to see him wrong, she can't do it. This world belongs to the Zhu family.

The female official said very softly, for fear of angering the Queen Mother, "But, the emperor will, understand?" ”

"I don't know. The Queen Mother's gaze wandered on the white porcelain teacup, and the heat in the tea smoked her eyes, slightly moist, "It is enough for the mourning family to be worthy of the first emperor and worthy of the emperor." She never thought that the emperor would understand her, as if the death of the former empress had nothing to do with her, but the emperor insisted on it. If he hadn't been too insistent, things wouldn't have gotten like this.

She didn't think about the Cheng family, she was the queen mother of a country, the justifiable first emperor and queen, no matter which descendant ascended the throne as the emperor, she had to continue the honor of her mother's family. But like the emperor, she can only think about it, she must not let the prince ascend the throne smoothly, otherwise the Cheng family will not end well.

"Yes." But the female official still had some scruples, "But, Mrs. Cen only returned after praying for blessings, is it too much to drop the five grades and be pleasant?" Although it is a small punishment and a big commandment, this punishment is not light.

"Didn't she just pray for blessings and come back, thinking that she dared to show off her power in the palace only if she had merit? She thought that this kind of credit would allow her to ascend to the sky, but the mourning family had to let her fall to the ground, and this idea was not looked down upon in the palace. framed the princess in front of the Bodhisattva and collided with the Bodhisattva, she was not afraid of breaking the blessings. ”

"The men of the Cen family have not entered the court as officials, and it is polite to make her a five-rank foreign wife."

The grandmother on the side opened her mouth and asked, "How does the master know that it is framed?" If it weren't for the framing ......"

The Queen Mother raised the teacup and took a sip of Biluochun, and a fragrance hit her, "What kind of person is Mrs. Cen, everyone in the palace knows it, if you want to say that Princess Ning is disrespectful to the sedan chair and the Bodhisattva is not sincere, the mourning family does not believe it, and how many people in the palace believe it?" added another sentence, "If it weren't for Hexian forcing the queen fairly, how could the queen use such a trivial matter to ask the mourning family to be the master?" She took it upon herself to punish herself. ”

"This, and Princess Xianchang......"

The Queen Mother also has a headache, this Hexian, who has been smart since she was a child, is so confused about this matter, "She wants to ask for a county lord for her daughter, but the mourning family didn't agree, so she helped Mrs. Cen, but don't you want to think about it, what good can she get by herself?" Could it be that Madame Cen would speak for her in front of the emperor? An eldest princess who is married, neither a concubine nor the same mother as the emperor, why should she go against the royal family...... How many people in the harem of the former dynasty can't get used to the Cen family historian, she has to get involved, presumably because her life is too comfortable......"

"Since ancient times, the daughter of a prince has the rank of a county lord, and the mourning family has never heard of the daughter of a princess also asking for the grade of a county lord."

Mama proposed, "In the Han Dynasty, there were people who called the daughter of the princess the lord of Weng, why didn't the queen mother allow her to have such a grade?" ”

"The mourning family just doesn't allow it, this dynasty doesn't have this statement." There are some things that the Queen Mother didn't want to think about, so she personally stamped the jade seal on the Yi Zhi, waved her hand, and motioned for the female official to take it, "You personally send it to the Fengyi Palace with the female history." ”​

The female official followed the female history who came to report the news to the Fengyi Palace, all the way to the east, and went straight into the Fengyi Palace, and announced the decree - the queen mother's decree, and the order: deprive Mrs. Cen of the three grades of the lady's order, drop the five grades of pleasant, and enter the imperial city will not be allowed to sit in a sedan chair.

From the third-grade lady to the fifth-grade pleasant, the blessing merit was wiped out. The Queen Mother did not investigate and convicted directly, which shows that she did not believe Mrs. Cen's words, but believed in Princess Ning's words.

Mrs. Cen refused to accept Yi's decree for a long time, and cried again, "Impossible, impossible, the Queen Mother can't be convicted without investigation." The concubine is not convinced! Defy!! "In short, she can't plead guilty, absolutely not.

"The concubine wants to see the Queen Mother, see the Queen Mother'......"

"Mrs. Cen, don't be the end of the crossbow, right and wrong, you are like a mirror in your heart, the Queen Mother will not see you, do you think you can say that the Queen Mother can change her will with your three-inch tongue? You immediately receive the order and leave," the female official stood upright with Yizhi in her hand, and Mrs. Cen knelt, she did not accept Yizhi, and the two parties confronted each other like this. In this way, the queen had to come forward and ask, it was necessary to figure things out, "Lady official, what's going on?" What did the queen mother say in the end? ”

Facing the queen's interrogation, the female official became respectful and considered her words, "The queen mother said, she won't believe an outsider, what kind of person Mrs. Cen is, how can she not know." There is no need to investigate this matter, and the outcome will be clear at a glance. ”

"The Queen Mother also said that Mrs. Cen just returned from praying for blessings and framed Princess Ning and Princess Chongfu in front of the Bodhisattva, aren't you afraid of blessings?"

A few words knocked Mrs. Cen into the endless abyss. If the Queen Mother's words get out, the Cen family is afraid that it will come to an end.

The queen was happy when she heard this, with the words of the queen mother, no one would say that she was unfair, and she had nothing to do with Princess Ning Chongfu, so she faced Mrs. Cen with a sinking face, "In this case, Mrs. Cen will leave quickly." Immediately, I heard Princess Chongfu sneer, "Mrs. Cen didn't accept Yi's order, is she waiting for someone to save you?" If you don't accept it, you are disobeying Yi's will, and that is a great sin. ”

Disobey Yi's order, no matter how light, they will also deprive the Cen family of women of all grades and orders, and the serious ones will rob the family and exterminate the family.

Mrs. Cen finally accepted Yi's order with tears and left.

That's it. After a while, he made a faceless relationship with Princess Xianchang, and hurriedly found an excuse to retire and leave.

Since the queen mother's order, Wang Jingshu has not spoken, and the queen thought she was frightened, so she ordered the palace people to help her up, and made fun of her, "The princess is still vibrant, what's the matter, this son is frightened?" I didn't even see you speak. Now that the Queen Mother is in charge, this matter is over. ”

Wang Jingshu never thought that the Queen Mother would believe her, she thought that the Queen Mother would definitely investigate the matter. 'She won't trust an outsider,' then she's her own family. After kneeling for a long time, he was able to stand up with all his strength, and said playfully, "Erchen, Erchen, I'm frightened." ”

The queen didn't speak for her daughter-in-law, but she was pleasant, "Then you can go back and rest." ”

Yes, "everyone has his own problems." Wang Jingshu claimed that it was, but she didn't blame the queen for being speechless. Turning to a sentence: "That, Qingyi...... The son knows that she used the lynching, she is my maid, and I ask the queen mother to ......"

The queen waved her hand, not intending to punish, "Let's go back together." It doesn't matter. "It doesn't matter, she doesn't give a thin face.

"Thank you, Queen Mother."

Wang Jingshu pulled up Qingyi, whose kneeling knee was in pain, helped her, and left Fengyi Palace.

As soon as Wang Jingshu left, the queen saw that Princess Chongfu was still sitting there, and said meaningfully, "Mei'er, you should also go to Ninghui Hall to accompany the queen mother." ”

Princess Chongfu knew in her heart, the queen was afraid that the emperor would go to find the queen mother, if she was present, it would be good to say peace and one or two, "The queen mother is in such a hurry, and some things are too anxious but not good." ”

Since the queen meant something, then she naturally meant something, "The queen mother should understand that sometimes she can't eat hot tofu in a hurry," for example, if you are too anxious to take over the heir, you can't think about it too completely, so why did King Kang be exploited by someone, causing such an ending, and even affecting the Du family, isn't it that the intention of taking the heir is too obvious. Continued with another sentence: "The Queen Mother ordered that if I go to Ninghui Hall to accompany the Queen Mother on the back foot, it does not mean to make people feel that the Queen Mother is biased towards me and towards the princess." In the long run, the queen mother's prestige in the imperial city will be gone, so how can she protect the queen mother's seat? ”

Her words are not unreasonable. But the queen thought about it again, "What if ......"

"The imperial grandmother has always had a plan for doing things, she won't really be so blindly convicted, then she must have wanted to say anything in advance, you really don't have to worry."

Having said that, a trace of worry flashed in the queen's mind, she was afraid that Princess Chongfu would turn against her, if she turned to other places, wouldn't the chances of winning be a little less, "The princess is very smart now, but ......"

"As long as the queen mother remembers that her sons are of the same mind as you and your fourth brother, that's enough."

The queen laughed.
