Chapter 327: He Cairen's questioning
After Su Xiaoya's departure, the queen returned to Chuxiu Palace with her big palace maid.
As soon as she entered the palace, the palace maid said indignantly: "It's not fair for the emperor to do this, this concubine clearly wants to blame the mother after harming He Cairen's child, why did she spare her so easily?" Their Zhang family has always been powerful, I'm afraid that within a few days of Concubine De's imprisonment, the Zhang family will force the emperor to release Concubine De! ”
The queen didn't expect that she, the big palace maid, could see it so thoroughly, but she said with a serious face: "What nonsense?!" The emperor naturally has his own intentions in doing this. You also know that Concubine De was born in the Zhang family, and the emperor will not easily treat Concubine De. ”
The queen sighed, unless the Zhang family did something too excessive, maybe the emperor would be angry with Concubine De, otherwise it would be impossible to move Concubine De.
The palace maid was unwilling, but still said: "Niangniang, do you have to guard this grievance like this?!" ”
"Say no more! This palace was just misunderstood by the emperor, and there is nothing to say. What's more, isn't Concubine De already grounded in the palace now? Now it's also a common person, and there's nothing to pursue anymore. The queen said unhurriedly, as if she really didn't care that she was misunderstood like this.
The palace maid opened her mouth and stopped talking, but who knew that the palace maid outside said that he was here.
"Who is talent? What did she want to do? Didn't you faint in the emperor's study just now? How did you wake up so quickly? The big palace maid frowned, wanting to drive this He Cairen out.
It's no wonder that the palace maid is so disgusted with this He Cairen, He Cairen was indeed well-behaved and honest when he first entered the palace, but since she was pregnant, she has been against the queen everywhere, and even thinks that as long as the ball in her belly can keep her birth, she will be able to be like the queen!
As the palace people around the queen, they, the palace maids of Chuxiu Palace, don't like this He Cairen.
"Wait...... Let Ho Cai come in. The queen stopped the palace maid and said with a sigh.
The palace maid was stunned: "Niangniang, she was the first to splash dirty water on you!" How could you forgive this woman so easily?! She doesn't respect you like this, so what if everyone in the harem follows suit? ”
The queen was very firm, and she didn't seem to listen to the words of the palace maid at all.
The palace maid had no choice but to invite He Cairen in.
As soon as He Cairen entered the door, he cried: "Queen Mother, you must be the master of the concubine!" Why is the life of a concubine so bitter?! ”
The big palace maid on the side couldn't stand it, and said sullenly: "He Cairen, what do you say to let our mother call the shots for you?" At the beginning, you first pointed out that it was our mother who harmed you, why now let our queen mother call the shots for you? ”
He Cairen's heart was weak for a while, and he shrunk his neck and said, "This ...... This queen is the master of the harem, so she should naturally be generous and uphold justice for our concubines. ”
The palace maid sneered, stepped forward and walked in front of He Cairen and said: "Since you have said so, then I also want to ask He Cairen, since the queen mother is the master of the harem, then why do you disrespect the queen mother so much, and compete with the mother everywhere for the limelight?!" ”
Since she was pregnant, she was indeed a little arrogant, He Cairen did not deny that she did something wrong, but she still felt that she was pregnant at that time, even if she did something wrong, the queen should not blame herself.
"Niangniang, the concubine knows that she has done something wrong, and she asks Niangniang to forgive her sins! But Concubine Nade clearly wanted to kill two birds with one stone, not only harming the concubine's children, but also almost pushing all of them on the queen's mother! He Cairen's brain turned quickly, and he immediately pulled out the culprit.
Hearing this, the queen knew what this talented person came to find her for today. I'm afraid that He Cairen saw that the emperor did not directly dispose of Concubine De, and felt a little aggrieved in his heart, so he wanted to find the queen, who was also a victim, and wanted to go to the emperor of Northern Xinjiang together to ask for an explanation.
The queen shook her head, looked at He Cairen coldly and said, "He Cairen, this palace doesn't think there is anything wrong with the emperor's approach. What's more, what Concubine De said is right, you just entered the palace, and it is really unreasonable to suddenly become a concubine from a small talent. The purpose of your coming today is already known to the palace, and you don't need to say more, the palace will not let the emperor dispose of Concubine De. ”
He Cairen opened his mouth and didn't know what to say, so he had to say indignantly: "I really didn't expect the queen mother to be so generous, and she didn't care if she was wronged and misunderstood by the people in this palace for so long, it seems that the concubine wanted to go wrong, after all, the queen mother is the master of the harem, and I'm afraid it won't work if you don't have a little grace." ”
As soon as the words were spoken, the big palace maid who had been standing beside the queen directly stepped forward and slapped He Cairen, and said coldly: "What does He Cairen mean by accusing the queen?" No matter how the queen mother is, she is also the master of the harem, and it is not the turn of He Cairen, you are here to accuse the queen mother! ”
The big palace maid's slap was really not light, and He Cairen lay directly on the ground, looking at the big palace maid with an unbelieving face.
"How dare you hit me?! How dare you, a little palace maid, beat me?! He Cairen felt a little unbelievable, how could she say that she was also the concubine of the emperor of Northern Xinjiang, this big palace maid was really a little too presumptuous.
The queen opened her mouth to speak, but when she was about to speak, she stopped, looked at the palace maid, and wanted the palace maid to explain herself.
The palace maid sneered: "He Cairen, don't say that you haven't become a concubine yet, even if you become a concubine, then you can only be respectful to the queen, when will it be your turn to accuse the queen mother here?!" ”
He Cairen was speechless, so he had to silently cover his face and sit up from the ground.
The queen woke up and said: "He Cairen, if you don't have anything else, you can go back first, if there is anything else the emperor will deal with, you don't have to worry about it." ”
He Cairen was unwilling, but the person in front of her was the queen after all, and she had no way to question the queen, so she had to cover her face silently and leave.
After He Cairen left, the palace maid said indignantly: "This He Cairen is really too much, this kind of thing was originally decided by the emperor himself, what does it have to do with Niangniang?" Speaking of which, Niangniang herself is also a victim, when will it be her turn to question you?"
That's it, she was also in a hurry, that's why she said this. There's no need to dwell on this kind of thing, just don't think it happened. The queen sighed, this matter was finally over, and she didn't have to worry about it all day.
The palace maid was about to speak, but who knew that the palace maid at the gate of the palace came over and said, "Queen Mother, the emperor is here." ”
Emperor of Northern Xinjiang?! The Empress frowned, she didn't want to see the Northern Frontier Emperor now.
But no matter how much she didn't want to see her, the queen had to go to see the emperor of Northern Xinjiang.
"Who just came?" The Emperor of Northern Xinjiang looked around the queen's bedroom, as if he knew what had just happened.
The empress nodded and gave up her position to the Emperor of Northern Xinjiang: "He Cairen came over and left after saying a few words, nothing else." Why did the emperor come over suddenly? ”
The Emperor of Northern Xinjiang looked apologetic: "I know that the queen has been wronged because of Concubine De's matter, so I came to see the queen." ”
The queen didn't expect that the emperor of Northern Xinjiang would come to find herself because of this kind of thing. But the last time He Cairen questioned himself like that, the queen felt that she had indeed been wronged.
"The concubine has nothing to be wronged about, but I feel that He Cairen has indeed been wronged in this matter, and if the emperor is free, it is better to go and see He Cairen." The empress lowered her head and said, not looking up at the emperor of Northern Xinjiang from beginning to end.
The emperor of Northern Xinjiang's heart sank, he knew that the queen's appearance must be blaming himself, although the queen kept saying that he didn't care at all, but what kind of person was the emperor of Northern Xinjiang, he saw through the queen's mind at a glance.
The Emperor of Northern Xinjiang sighed, stepped forward and prepared to hug the queen: "Empress...... I am indeed helpless, there is still the Zhang family behind Concubine De, I can't let Concubine De pay for her life because of this incident......"
The queen naturally knew this, nodded and said: "The concubine knows this, but He Cairen is a little unable to figure it out, it is better for the emperor to persuade He Cairen more." ”
Seeing that the queen had always been so lukewarm, the emperor of Northern Xinjiang was really helpless. But after being with the queen for so many years, the emperor of Northern Xinjiang knows what the queen's temper is like, and once her temper comes up, no matter how others persuade her, there is nothing she can do.
The Emperor of Northern Xinjiang wanted to speak again, but the personal eunuch beside the Emperor of Northern Xinjiang hurriedly ran in: "Your Majesty, the ministers are already waiting in the study, and the hussar generals have also come over, all waiting for the emperor to go over to discuss political affairs!" ”
The Emperor of Northern Xinjiang sighed: "Then I will leave first, Empress, you pay more attention to yourself." ”
The empress nodded and sent the Northern Xinjiang Emperor away.
"Why did Niang Niang treat the emperor like this? It's rare for the emperor to come here, didn't Niangniang push the emperor outside? "The palace maid was a little anxious, it was rare to see the emperor of Northern Xinjiang treat the queen so warmly, but who knew that the queen would leave the emperor of Northern Xinjiang aside.
The queen sneered: "What is there to say? The emperor just felt a little ashamed of the palace. If the emperor really wanted to make up for it, he wouldn't have come to talk to the palace like this...... It's just that, Concubine De can't be punished, and you won't say these words again in the future. ”
Only then did the palace maid realize that the queen also cared, but it was just because she knew that she couldn't change the emperor's mind.
