Chapter III. Choice
Empress Wei felt uncomfortable, she didn't like Zhu Yuan, but Chu Tingchuan clearly had the same heart as the Queen Mother.
Such a daughter-in-law is also an eyesore when she marries back.
But although she felt uncomfortable in her heart, she knew that now was not the time for her to have the final say, so she had to suppress the depression in her heart and end the conversation kindly.
As the Queen Mother said, Empress Wei did not embarrass her, although she couldn't be very kind, but for Zhu Yuan, this was enough.
People's preferences cannot be changed in a moment, and besides, Empress Wei is probably too familiar with controlling Chu Tingchuan, so that she feels disappointed if she does not achieve her goal once.
But she had to get used to it.
Even if it is a son, there is no reason to be obedient to her.
After she withdrew politely, Aunt Weng asked her with a smile: "What does the county lord think?" ”
Zhu Yuan nodded frankly.
In the future, it will be enough for everyone to respect each other in this way.
Aunt Weng smiled silently, and as soon as the two of them left the gate of the queen's palace, they saw a team of honor guards walking towards them.
At this time...... They hesitated slightly, then stepped aside, and waited until the honor guard arrived in front of them, only to realize that it was Concubine Gong's honor guard.
Concubine Gong also saw them, and immediately stopped and greeted Aunt Weng first.
Aunt Weng was also very polite to her, and when she heard her say that she came to visit the queen, she said: "The queen is resting, and Concubine Gong is afraid that it is unfortunate to come." ”
Since Empress Wei has been recuperating from her illness to the present, she has rarely seen palace concubines.
Concubine Gong didn't come much before.
This time it was so coincidental that it was clearly the drunkard's intention not to drink.
Aunt Weng knew this, and sure enough, when she heard Aunt Weng say this, Concubine Gong immediately laughed: "That palace seems to have come unfortunately." He looked at Zhu Yuan with a smile again: "It's that the county lord of Huining has come to the palace, and the palace just has something to ask, I don't know if you are free?" ”
Concubine Gong has always been confused, and she can't do it if she is not confused, and she will carry up her own mother's family who abandoned her, but she will ignore her adoptive mother's family.
Both Aunt Weng and Zhu Yuan knew this, and both of them knew that it would not be a good thing for Concubine Gong to come over.
But Concubine Gong is Chu Tingchuan's biological mother after all, so she can't refuse for no reason.
After being silent for a moment, Zhu Yuan said: "Yes, what does the mother want to ask, the courtier knows everything." ”
Concubine Gong nodded, and said politely to Aunt Weng: "Then bother Auntie, when the time comes, the palace will send the county lord of Huining back to the Queen Mother's palace." ”
Aunt Weng was still a little worried, but when the words came to this, she couldn't stop her anymore, so she had to look at Zhu Yuan, and then took someone back to the Empress Dowager's palace to resume her life.
Concubine Gong led Zhu Yuan into the imperial garden, looked at Zhu Yuan with a complicated expression, and said, "Has the county lord of Huining heard about it?" I heard that the saint wants to marry Watingchuan. ”
Zhu Yuan had already heard about the marriage from the second person's mouth.
She didn't look up, and she didn't know what reaction Concubine Gong expected to see from her, so she simply didn't speak.
Concubine Gong didn't expect to ask anything from her mouth, and seeing that Zhu Yuan just lowered her head and didn't say anything, she laughed and asked meaninglessly: "Didn't the county lord of Huining say something?" ”
Zhu Yuan thought about it for a while, and then asked, "Where did Concubine Gong hear about this?" ”
Concubine Gong frowned.
She didn't want Zhu Yuan to inquire about this.
Because of this, she turned her head to look at her a little impatiently: "No matter where I heard the news, things are going like this now." Qi Dafei is not a coincidence, is it not clear to such a smart person as Miss Zhu? ”
Zhu Yuan knew that this was the case.
She didn't speak.
Concubine Gong became more and more angry, she looked at Zhu Yuan coldly, as if she was looking at something that could not be put on the table, and said softly but firmly: "You are self-aware, and there is a huge disparity between his identity, how can He De be worthy of his position as a concubine?" ”
Zhu Yuan suddenly understood how difficult it was for Chu Tingchuan.
Needless to say, Empress Wei is even more stupid.
No wonder she has nothing worth saying in her life except for being remembered for giving birth to Chu Tingchuan.
Emperor Jiaping didn't like her, and now it seems that it is really understandable.
Beauty is certainly a beauty, but as soon as she speaks, it is enough to make people retreat.
She didn't want to accompany Concubine Gong to say these useless nonsense anymore, so she simply put it once and for all: "Niangniang forgive my sins, I have never heard such rumors, and I have never heard others say them. ”
Concubine Gong's eyes widened, and she couldn't believe that Zhu Yuan would say that.
But before she could speak, Zhu Yuan had already taken the lead and continued: "Although the courtier's status is humble, she is also a county lord with a title, Niangniang said this, have you ever thought about the reputation of the courtier?" If in the end, the saint does not intend to give marriage, how should the courtiers deal with themselves? Besides, if the meaning of the Holy Lord's marriage is true, but the mother came to me in private to say these words, did she want the courtiers to resist the decree? ”
Concubine Gong couldn't say a word for a while, and looked at Zhu Yuan biting her lip and being a little angry.
This woman is really clever in her words.
When she said a word, Zhu Yuan had a hundred sentences waiting in the back, and the people who blocked couldn't say a word at all. It's really sharp.
She thought about it again, but still sneered with a gloomy face: "You have to think clearly, don't think that you will really have peace of mind in the future!" ”
Zhu Yuan blessed his body, and waited until Concubine Gong brushed his sleeves and left, then raised his head to look at Concubine Gong's back, and shook his head lightly.
When she returned to the Queen Mother's palace, the Queen Mother asked Concubine Gong about her sake, she thought about it and told the truth.
Concubine Gong is so stupid, she is so easy to be provoked at every turn, if she doesn't succeed this time, she may not do other stupid things in the future, since this is the case, it is better to make a decision early and cut off her thoughts.
The Queen Mother was really angry.
This Concubine Gong can't help Chu Tingchuan, and she often comes out to pull her back.
The last time she was in her mother's house, she hadn't even learned her lesson.
The Queen Mother thought for a while, and then said to Aunt Weng: "Go and spread the will of the mourning family, the mourning family dreamed of the Buddha last night, and decided to make a vow to hand-copy 500 scriptures and enshrine them in front of the Buddha." She also worships the Buddha every day, so she asked her to copy it for the mourning family, which is also a piece of her filial piety. ”
Since Concubine Gong is really idle and has nothing to do, then she will find something for Concubine Gong, saving her from thinking about some things all day long.
Aunt Weng couldn't help but feel a little funny, Concubine Gong's copying of scriptures is a familiar thing, but this time there are still five hundred copies, I'm afraid she won't be able to spare time to take care of other things in the near future.
She hurriedly answered yes, turned her head and went to deliver the decree herself.
Zhu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Concubine Gong is a person like her, and she doesn't understand much when she reasones with her, but this method is good, and she can reduce ten thousand laws with one force.
