Chapter 032: Guilt for Concubine Li
Empress Dowager Yu has already become a human spirit at this age, where did Concubine Li come to ask for a meeting, obviously she has a grudge against what she avoided ten years ago.
But Concubine Li's kneeling made Empress Dowager Yu's heart feel unpleasant.
Concubine Li's eldest son is also her eldest grandson, how could she not love her eldest grandson as a grandmother?
But even if she loves her eldest grandson again, she still has to give an explanation to the souls of the 300,000 soldiers in Northern Xinjiang.
She looked at Concubine Li who was prostrate on the ground for a long time, and when she spoke, she actually choked: "Get up." ”
Concubine Li's thin body stiffened obviously, but she didn't get up immediately, and the chief eunuch who saw the six roads stepped forward and bowed in Concubine Li's ear and said, "Niangniang, the Queen Mother asked you to get up." ”
This "get up", if it was ten years ago, she might have been grateful, but now she feels particularly ironic in her ears, Concubine Li's face lying on the ground crossed a trace of sarcasm, and only then did she get up with the support of the chief eunuch: "Concubine Xie Empress Dowager." ”
Empress Dowager Yu beckoned to Concubine Li, let Concubine Li sit down under her, and then said to Emperor Zhu: "Isn't Your Majesty worried about the selection of the Praetorian Guard, the mourning family thinks that the three princes from Concubine Li can be on this duty!" ”
"Yu'er ......"
Emperor Zhu heard Empress Dowager Yu mention Zhu Yu, he frowned, Zhu Yu was a master who did not learn and did not know how to do it in his heart, a few days ago he and Li Shilang Qing Kefang made a big shot for an Oiran, and this time he returned in vain in the hunt, how could such a rebel be qualified for the post of Praetorian Guard?
But since Empress Dowager Yu opened her mouth, it was inconvenient for him to refuse directly, but glanced at Concubine Li, "What does Concubine Ai think?" ”
The reason why Emperor Zhu threw the problem to Concubine Li was that he didn't want to offend Empress Dowager Yu, and secondly, although Concubine Li was deposed, she has become more and more well-behaved and sensible over the years, and he believes that Concubine Li will definitely be able to understand the deep meaning in his eyes.
But he didn't get the answer he wanted.
"Concubine Xie Empress Dowager and Your Majesty carry love!"
After Concubine Li finished speaking, Empress Dowager Yu didn't think there was anything, Emperor Zhu was stunned, what was "thank you for your love", did he say that he wanted to seal it?
Is it that he is not obvious enough, or is Concubine Li blind today?
But at this moment, Concubine Li didn't look at him at all, since she was already going to compete in this palace, how could she give up such a great opportunity?
No matter how you look at it, the commander of the Praetorian Guard is more promising than the grain and grass escort officer.
Concubine Li's appearance of pretending to be deaf and dumb made Emperor Zhu very unhappy.
He was about to open his mouth to question Concubine Li, but Queen Wen beside him was already one step ahead of him: "Who doesn't know that His Royal Highness King Xian is famous for being idle, unlearned, and unskilled, and even making a big move on the street in order to compete with others for Oiran, how can such a person be worthy of the position of commander of the Praetorian Guard?!" ”
"Did he lose or win?" Empress Dowager Yu put on a posture of closing her eyes and recuperating her mind, and when she heard what the queen said, she opened her eyelids slowly.
Empress Wen said so much just to emphasize that Zhu Yu was simply a thing that couldn't be supported by mud, but she didn't expect Empress Dowager Yu to ask like this, and she was stunned: "Winning or losing is not the point......
Empress Dowager Yu glanced at Wen Zhong, who had not dared to sit down since she was reprimanded by her, and was still standing at the bottom, and said to Empress Wen in the face seemingly lightly: "How is winning or losing not the point, a commander of the Praetorian Guard doesn't even know how to hold a sword, can he be competent?" ”
Wen Zhong naturally heard that the Empress Dowager Yu was sarcastically mocking him as a literati with the Praetorian Guards, if others dared to question him like this, he would have jumped out and confronted the opponent, but the Empress Dowager's questioning His Majesty didn't dare to do anything, where did he dare to make a mistake?
Zhu Yun was dissatisfied with Wen Zhong when he was in the Zongren Mansion, but he knew better what it meant to him that the Praetorian Guard in the hands of the Wen family was taken away by Zhu Yu, so Zhu Yu stepped forward and said: "Grandma, you overestimated the third brother this time, it's strange that he can win fights with people, he returned empty-handed in autumn hunting, and he didn't even catch a chicken feather!" ”
"Really?" Empress Dowager Yu raised her eyes to look at Zhu Yun, but her eyes were missing the fierceness of Emperor Zhu and Empress Dowager Wen.
How to say that Zhu Yun is also her own grandson, a relative of the next generation, even if she doesn't like the Wen family anymore, Zhu Yun is still her own grandson after all.
"Yes." Zhu Yun replied respectfully.
Under the warning of Qi Yuanyuan's eyes, Hua Luo didn't dare to make a second time, she should have eaten and drunk, and watched the play when she should watch the play, but Queen Wen and Zhu Yun actually slandered Zhu Yu so much, which made her angry.
What's even more infuriating is that Zhu Yu's mother didn't even help him say a word.
How to say that Zhu Yu is also the only good brother she made when she came to the imperial capital, she can't let Queen Wen and Zhu Yun slander him.
"It's not!" Thinking of this, the dim sum in her hand suddenly stopped fragrant, and she stood up from her seat with a "rub".
"Oh?" When Empress Dowager Yu entered the Zongren Mansion, she didn't pay attention to this little girl who was in a coma, and now she saw that she entered the Taiji Hall at a young age and saw that she was not stage frightened, and even dared to contradict the queen mother unconsciously, sure enough, she was a member of the Hua family, and she was even younger than her mother, "You tell me to listen!" ”
Before Hualuo could step forward to speak, Huachen had already taken the first step to the front of the hall: "The little girl doesn't choose what to say, and I hope that Your Majesty, the Queen Mother and the ladies will forgive your sins!" ”
"You don't want to speak, I want to listen to the county lord!" Empress Dowager Yu beckoned Hualuo to step forward and answer.
Qi Yuanyuan vigorously signaled to Hualuo with her eyes: "You kid, don't make another mistake!" ”
Hualuo looked at her mother: "But Zhu Yu is not as unbearable as the prince said, mother, you said to be honest!" ”
Qi Yuanyuan was angry, and whispered a warning to her daughter: "I don't see you honest on weekdays, this will make you talk to me about honesty, see how I clean you up when I go back!" ”
"Mother, have you forgotten that your little daughter, I am now His Royal Highness the Lord of Erpin County, and I will lynch the officials of the imperial court, but I will be severely punished." When Hua Luo stepped forward, she didn't forget to smile and whisper to her mother.
"You wait for me, and I'll settle accounts with you when I get home!"
Hualuo got up this time without discomfort, if it weren't for the suffocating and uncomfortable feeling of being poisoned just now that she still remembers it vividly, she would really think that she was hungry, and now she is full.
She walked up to the Empress Dowager Yu and gave a salute: "The reason why Zhu Yu returned empty-handed from the autumn hunt last time was because he gave me all the prey. ”
"Do you want to say that your first place in autumn hunting was actually obtained by cheating?" Zhu Yun snorted coldly and said.
Hualuo said unhappily: "What do you mean by me cheating, if I hadn't been robbed of the prey by your cousin Wen Dong and fell into his trap, would I want Zhu Yu's prey?" Speaking of cheating, I can't compare with the Wen family, Wen Dong not only robbed my prey as his own, but also brought a group of family members into the hunting ground to be his bodyguards! ”
"You ......" Zhu Yun only hated the hook kiss and failed to poison this guy.
Empress Dowager Yu wanted to give Zhu Yu the post of Praetorian Guard, and a large part of the reason was to make up for the debt to Concubine Li: "So Yu'er is very good at riding and shooting? ”
"It's a little bit worse than me." Hualuo said seriously.
Ye Qinghan looked at Hualuo's appearance of trying her best to defend Zhu Yu, and her eyes darkened unconsciously.
