Chapter 148: Miscalculation, Rewarding Concubine Xian for copying scriptures
A different color flashed in Mama Yao's eyes, she was silent for a moment, and then lowered her eyes and said, "Queen Mother, the slave maid feels that this matter is wrong. ”
"Huh?" Mrs. Yao was puzzled, "What's wrong?" ”
Yao Mama said with a straight face: "Who Huo Shizi is, we don't know, but Miss Yuruo's temperament, the Queen Mother, you don't know yet, Miss Yuruo is noble, pampered on weekdays, and she can't stand it, let alone Huo Shizi, it's someone else, it's not a strange thing for her to have a dispute with someone." Queen Mother, think about it carefully, this matter is easy to say, but Miss Yuruo had a dispute with others, and the result was not pleased, so she came to the palace to complain to the Queen Mother and asked you to call the shots for her.
Miss Yuruo is the concubine of the Hou Mansion of Cheng'en, but the son of Huo Shizi is also the prince of the Hou Mansion, and because of his outstanding talent, he is valued by the prince, and even His Majesty praises him, and it is normal for Miss Yu Ruo not to please him in front of him. Queen Mother, do you say this is the reason? ”
Mama Yao's words silenced the Empress Dowager Yao, although she favored her mother's family, she still knew something about Yao Yu's character.
"Yuruo, that kid is a little arrogant, but she doesn't have any bad intentions." Empress Dowager Yao acquiesced to Mama Yao's words, but if Yao Yu was her niece and granddaughter, she still had to defend her.
Although this explanation is dry, Mama Yao has been by her side for many years, how can she not know what this queen mother means, it is nothing more than saying that if Yao Yuruo is still a good girl, her arrogance is true temperament, and it is not a big deal.
Mama Yao smiled and followed the Queen Mother's words: "Miss Yuruo's temperament is indeed simple, so the slave maid wondered if Miss Yuruo was being used." ”
"Taken advantage of?" These words instantly woke up Empress Dowager Yao, and her face sank.
The more innocent people are, the easier it is to be taken advantage of.
Mama Yao saw that Empress Dowager Yao had already listened, and continued: "The slave maid heard that the queen mother has punished Concubine Huo Xian a lot in the past few days, although the queen mother used other reasons to punish her, but the slave maid heard that the real reason was actually that Concubine Huo Xian's mother and son were secretly stumbling on the Chengen Hou Mansion. ”
Empress Dowager Yao frowned, "And this is the case?" Why didn't the queen tell the mourners? ”
"The slave doesn't know, maybe the queen doesn't want to disturb the queen mother with these troubles." Mama Yao then said, "The Queen Mother, you don't know about this matter, but because of Miss Yuruo's matter, you knocked on Concubine Xian a few words, you just knocked on Concubine Xian yesterday, and today there is gossip from Yuxiu Palace to the Queen Mother's ears and ears, don't you think there is something strange here?" ”
Mama Yao paused, "Niangniang, you didn't order anyone to deliberately pay attention to Yuxiu Palace's actions, and you haven't seen any gossip from Yuxiu Palace spread to your ears on weekdays, why is it so coincidental today?" ”
"You mean...... "Mrs. Yao's skin was tight, and her face was full of displeasure, "It was Concubine Xian who deliberately let the mourning family know, so that the mourning family would suspect the prince." ”
Empress Dowager Yao had already believed seven or eight points in her heart, and she was suddenly furious and scolded sharply: "Huo's so bold!" ”
She even dared to calculate the mourning family, knowing that the relationship between the Yao family and the prince was not harmonious, and she ...... The mourning family understands, the mourning family understands everything, she wants the Yao family and the prince to lose both, and then she will come to reap the benefits of the fisherman. ”
In the blink of an eye, Empress Dowager Yao had already thought of a lot, and as for the little friction between Huo Sijin and Yao Yuruo, she didn't care about it at all. At this moment, all she was thinking about was Concubine Huo Xian's secret provocation, dividing the relationship between her and the prince's ancestors and grandchildren, and making the contradiction between the prince and the Yao family more and more aggravated.
"It seems that the mourning family's beating yesterday was so light, and it hasn't made her dispel the thoughts she shouldn't have!" Empress Dowager Yao gritted her teeth angrily, "Mama Yao, polish ink for the mourning family, the mourning family must make a decree to abolish her concubine position, such a slut should enter the cold palace!" ”
Mama Yao hurriedly persuaded the Empress Dowager Yao, "The Empress Dowager, don't do it." These are just speculations, there is no actual evidence, Concubine Huo Xian is His Majesty's concubine after all, her mother's family is the Marquis of Jingbei, and she has a prince who has reached adulthood, there is no evidence, if you put her in the cold palace, this is unreasonable. ”
"Look at her with bad intentions in her heart, if you don't send her into the cold palace, and let her continue to make trouble?" Empress Dowager Yao had a gloomy face, although what Mama Yao said was the truth, but she was angry, although she didn't ask much about the harem, but she couldn't allow anyone to calculate her like this.
"Niangniang, if you want to prevent Concubine Huo Xian from making waves, there is another way, just find a reason to ground her." Mama Yao gave the Empress Dowager Yao an idea, "If you still feel light, let her copy the scriptures, copy the scriptures to calm her mind, so that she can pinch out some thoughts that she shouldn't have in time." ”
That seems like a good idea......
Empress Dowager Yao thought for a while, then finally nodded and said, "Then do it." Mama Yao, if you go to pass on the will of the mourning family, you will say that Concubine Xian has won the meaning of the mourning family, and the mourning family rewarded her for copying ten volumes of scriptures, and copying scriptures requires meditation and concentration. ”
She is the queen mother who understands righteousness, the most magnanimous, there is no evidence, she naturally will not punish the concubine, if she does not punish, then the reward will be good, as for what to reward, it is up to her to decide.
Ten volumes of scriptures, it takes at least a month to complete the copying, which is nominally a reward, but in fact it is a disguised grounding.
Mama Yao is the confidant of the Empress Dowager Yao, so she naturally knows what the Empress Dowager means, she nodded and responded, "It is still the mother's thoughtfulness, the mother's reward, presumably the concubine will gladly accept it, and she will never dare to say half a bad word about the queen mother." ”
Empress Dowager Yao sneered, "She dares!" Mama Yao, you go to pass the decree immediately, and come back to talk to the mourning family about what Concubine Xian's reaction is. ”
"Don't worry, the slave must be watching." Mama Yao responded one by one, and then took Yizhi to Yuxiu Palace.
……
Yuxiu Palace
Concubine Huo Xian thought that when the news reached the ears of the Empress Dowager Yao, the Empress Dowager Yao would be furious and move the spearhead to Chu Zheng, no matter how bad it was, it would fall on Huo Sijin, however, ......
Things do not turn out the way you want!
Mama Yao finished reading out the decree with an expressionless face, "Concubine Xian, take the decree." ”
Concubine Huo Xian's heart was full of shock and doubt at the moment, she was confident that she knew quite a lot about Empress Dowager Yao, why did things develop diametrically opposite to what she expected, what was going on? Could it be that Huo Sijin, or Chu Zheng, had already started first, and had already said something in the ear of Empress Dowager Yao?
Concubine Huo Xian had so many questions in her heart that she completely forgot to accept the order.
"Concubine Xian, Queen Mother's grace, you still don't accept the order to thank you!" Mama Yao was still expressionless, and her tone was light, so that people couldn't hear the slightest emotion.
Hearing this, Concubine Huo Xian came back to her senses, and temporarily suppressed the thousands of doubts in her heart, the top priority at the moment is to accept the order, no matter what the content of the decree is, she must accept it, otherwise it will be disrespectful to the decree, and she will really have no power to turn over at that time.
Concubine Huo Xian quickly settled down, knelt on the ground, raised her hands above her head, and said respectfully: "The concubine accepts the order, thank the Empress Dowager Longen." ”
What Longen, on the surface, is a reward, but in fact it grounded her. But she didn't dare to say half a word of complaint, and she had to respectfully accept the holy decree, and she had to thank the Queen Mother Long En in her mouth. Concubine Huo Xian had never felt so aggrieved, and this edict seemed to be an invisible slap in the face.
She miscalculated, and things were completely different from what she had thought.
This false reward and punishment is the biggest loss she has ever suffered.
Concubine Huo Xian only felt that the blood in her heart was surging, if she hadn't tried her best to hold back, she would probably vomit blood again.
Mama Yao put the decree in Concubine Huo Xian's hand, and then bowed to Concubine Huo Xian, "Concubine Xian, the will of the Queen Mother has been conveyed, so I won't bother Niangniang to copy the scriptures, and the slave and maid will retire first." ”
"Wait." Concubine Huo Xian didn't think about it, so she blurted out and stopped Mama Yao.
Mama Yao withdrew the foot that was about to take a step, and turned her head to look at Concubine Huo Xian, "What else does Niangniang command?" Although her face was pale, her words and deeds were not in line with the rules, and Concubine Huo Xian couldn't see anything.
"Mama might as well sit down and have a cup of tea." Concubine Huo Xian smiled gently, "Mama finally came to Yuxiu Palace, if she left like this, it would be rude to this palace." ”
What does it mean to leave people for tea, Mama Yao doesn't understand it, it's not to find out the news.
I saw that Mama Yao said expressionlessly: "The slave and maid have to go back to the queen mother to reply to the queen mother, and the tea will not be drunk, so if the mother has anything to say, just say it." ”
