Chapter 54
The Queen Mother's eyes are a little complicated, her niece's life has been ruined like this, and the hatred for the emperor in her heart is even deeper, and the women of the Zhao family for several generations have not had a good life because of him.
"Auntie, I don't want to say anything superfluous, you also know the seriousness of the matter, I just want you to remember that you don't act impulsively." Concubine Shu didn't expect the Queen Mother to help much, she just hoped that she wouldn't drag her feet, and more than ten years of forbearance could not be ruined.
Although the Queen Mother was a little unhappy that Concubine Shu did not trust her, thinking of her grievances for so many years, she didn't refute anything, only nodded lightly and agreed, "In the future, we will still be the same as before, just have a good relationship that is not salty or light, if we suddenly reconcile, then outsiders will be suspicious." ”
is indeed such a reason, although the queen mother is reluctant to see her grandson at any time, but she also knows that she can't bear to make a big plan, "The concubine can't stay for a long time, so she left with Rulan." Concubine Shu was not angry about Rulan's death, she knew that Rulan's heart had died long after her sister died.
Concubine Shu did not deliberately conceal the news, she came to take people away with great fanfare, and what she took away was a corpse, and soon there were rumors in the palace, which confirmed the discord between the two aunts and nephews.
When Wei Baofu returned to Cining Palace, she had already recovered to her original state, she went to see the Queen Mother first, and the Queen Mother was in a calm mood at the moment, and asked with a smile at Wei Baofu: "Are the four princes okay?" The mourners heard that his homework was excellent. ”
This question was a little abrupt, Wei Baofu was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "That kid is really good, not only has a likable temperament, but also has excellent schoolwork, and his granddaughter likes him very much." "Wei Baofu's liking comes from the heart.
The Queen Mother also smiled unconsciously, "He, like your father, has been excellent since he was a child, otherwise he would not cause the jealousy of others." Wei Baofu was shocked by these words, and she looked around, but there were no outsiders.
"Don't worry, although the mourning family is not like an iron bucket, not everyone can come to hear the news." The Queen Mother's words were full of certainty, and Wei Baofu asked helplessly: "Grandmother, do you know everything?" ”
The Queen Mother nodded without hesitation, "The mourning family has been in this harem for so long, how can it not be suspicious, I was blinded by hatred before, but now I realize that something is wrong, it's not too late, I didn't make a big mistake, I didn't disgust the grandchildren of the mourning family, you should have told the mourning family earlier." ”
Wei Baofu smiled a little helplessly, "Grandmother, what about Aunt Rulan, is she okay?" The only one who can tell the Queen Mother all this is Rulan, the look on the Queen Mother's face is not so relaxed, she said in a low voice: "After she finished speaking, she committed suicide and left, this is not the persecution of the mourning family, you don't have to misunderstand." ”
She didn't care what Concubine Shu thought, but she couldn't let her granddaughter misunderstand, Wei Baofu said calmly: "I know that grandmother is not that kind of person, she has long had the will to die, but I don't think it's a pity, it shouldn't be like this." ”
"Everyone has their own way of living, for her, loyalty to the master is the greatest meaning of survival, and it can be regarded as liberation when she leaves." The Queen Mother has seen a lot of such loyal servants, which master doesn't want to have such a subordinate.
"Grandmother is right, but I think she is the person most associated with my mother, and she is gone, and the little thought of my mother is gone." There is no child who is not attached to her mother, the Queen Mother took her into her arms distressedly, and comforted: "If people want to open more, your mother wants to see you live happily and wantonly, at the beginning, if she told me the truth, I would protect her." ”
If Princess Lian had told her early that she was pregnant, the Queen Mother would never have let the emperor mess around, maybe she would have fought with her life to deal with the emperor, the result may not be as good as today, the Queen Mother also knows that with her past temper, it is not surprising that she can make a lose-lose result, perhaps, this is the best result, the two children have been preserved, and they have grown up so well.
"Your father should be satisfied, if he can bless the fourth prince to ascend the throne smoothly, it can be regarded as avenging him." The Queen Mother's words were full of ambition, and Wei Baofu couldn't help but worry.
"Grandmother, although the fourth prince has doubts, he still doesn't know anything, don't let him have a burden, he is very good now." Wei Baofu is most worried about affecting all this to the four princes, making it difficult for a child to become a talent, but it is extremely easy to destroy a child.
The Queen Mother comforted: "Don't worry, the mourning family knows everything, what happened before and what will happen to the mourning family after that, the mourning family will only protect him in secret, he is the hope of all of us." ”
In Wei Baofu's eyes, the current queen mother is like a radiant face, the feeling of being like a dead tree in spring is too obvious, and I can't help but laugh at myself a little in my heart, no matter how good a girl is, she is not as useful as a man who can continue her bloodline.
Coming out of the Queen Mother's house, Wei Baofu didn't know whether to be happy or worried, the future direction was there, but how to go, she still didn't know, she couldn't do anything instead of the four princes, she could only assist on the side.
"Master, Pearl and Sister Linglong's side have copied enough Buddhist scriptures, so you can beg Mama Qian to intercede and let them come back to serve." Bingxin spoke out at the right time, she saw that her master's state was a little wrong, for fear that she would think about it.
Wei Baofu came back to his senses and said with a smile, "It's been so many days, it's time for them to come back, please come over." Wei Baofu didn't want to indulge in these unknown things, instead of dwelling there, it was better to think about nothing and let it be.
Mama Qian came quickly, but her face was a little unsightly, and when she saw Wei Baofu, she hurriedly said: "County Lord, before the concubine came with people with a fierce attitude, I don't know what to say to the Queen Mother, and left with a corpse, and now the palace has begun to spread again, saying that the two aunts and nephews have formed a mortal enemy." ”
Wei Baofu didn't know that there was this, presumably Concubine Shu noticed that Rulan was brought and came to ask for someone in person, who knew that in the end Rulan committed suicide, since her grandmother knew everything, she wouldn't really have a problem with Concubine Shu, but she just did it for outsiders to see.
"Don't worry, Mama, the matter is not as serious as you think, and it will not affect me, so you can relax." Mama Qian is most afraid that these bullshit things will contaminate her master, and sometimes she also complains about the Queen Mother's troubles.
"The old slave also feels sorry for the master, it's just that the queen mother is not an old slave who can talk more, and the master has instructions from the side." Mama Qian is old in the end, she has lost her previous spirit, and she has less things to do.
"Mama, let Pearl Linglong come back to serve, their temperament has been worn out enough, I don't have anyone here." Wei Baofu persuaded in a soft voice, and Mama Qian subconsciously frowned, "Master, you are too kind, but you will feel distressed if you copy Buddhist scriptures, and you can't be so lenient in the future." ”
Although she was counting her master, Mama Qian was still obedient, and handed the key to the small black house to the jade pot, "You go open the door and bring them over, you can't be careless." ”
The jade pot hurriedly nodded and agreed, took the key to lead the person, and after a while, the three girls came over together, Pearl Linglong was a little thin, and saw Wei Baofu was very guilty, knelt down and said: "It's all the slaves and maids who are not thoughtful, and the masters have to compromise, and it's all the slaves' fault." ”
Wei Baofu waved his hand indifferently, and said with a smile: "Okay, you and I both know that the matter is a decision made by me, no wonder you, it's just your identity and responsibility, don't be angry with Mama Qian, she is also for your good." ”
The two girls are reasonable, although they were punished, they just copied Buddhist scriptures, and they didn't suffer any crimes, but they didn't hate anyone, "Okay, you go back and freshen up, change your clothes and come to duty." ”
It's good to let them come and serve by their side, and they don't have to say any words of comfort, they all grew up together, but they don't have to be so outside.
Wei Baohua has been unhappy since he was driven to Broken Yuxuan by the queen, and now he can't even eat any dishes, those people in the imperial dining room are the most dog-eyed and low-looking, a princess with no biological mother and no family to rely on, who cares.
"Princess, there is still no news from the second prince, otherwise, you can rest your mind." Lan Yin, the palace maid beside Wei Baohua, persuaded in a low voice, Zhao Jingshen has always been reluctant to see her, even if the second prince comes forward, there is no way, Wei Baohua is inevitably a little anxious.
"What do you think, how old is this princess now, if I don't plan for myself, who can think of my marriage, whether it is the queen, the second brother, or my mother who doesn't care about mundane things, who really thinks about me, I know that Zhao Shizi doesn't like me, but you can tell me, besides him, who else can I marry."
Although Wei Baohua is not very smart, he also knows that he plans for himself, Lan Yin said in a low voice: "But now that we are trapped in the palace and there is no one to help us, you might as well go and ask the emperor to give an order directly, the slave maid does not believe that Zhao Shizi dares to resist the decree." ”
This is a solution, Wei Baohua was a little moved, and then thought of Concubine Shu, and said with a wry smile: "With Concubine Shu here, it is impossible for my father to ignore her wishes, Concubine Shu has always looked down on me, and she will not agree, now that Kangping's family affairs have been decided, I can breathe a sigh of relief, and I can't say that I can ask her for help." ”
Lan Yin said with some embarrassment: "Princess, I'm afraid this is not appropriate, the county lord of Kangping has a gap with you, and she will definitely not deal with it." Wei Baohua said indifferently: "She doesn't want to deal with me, I can go and beg her, those who become big things are not informal, your princess doesn't have such a good life, so she can only use stupid methods, and when I see Zhao Shizi, I will have a chance, and when the time comes, I will be innocent, and there will be a way out." ”
Wei Baohua's eyes were full of madness, as if nothing could stop her, and Lan Yin was inexplicably flustered.
