Chapter 144: The Dispute between the Concubines
Du Penghui hurriedly replied: "Du Fu is the eldest daughter of Wei Chenshu, and Du Wanyi is the eldest daughter. ”
Chen Shoufu couldn't help but be stunned.
The second master of Nanyin Houfu, I have heard his wife Fei Shi blowing a lot of pillow wind these days. I know that when they went to Bofu to make amends that day, they suffered a lot of grievances.
He was worried that he couldn't find an outlet, and when he saw this, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I have had contact with the two girls in Yinningbo's Mansion, and Weichen thinks that there must be something wrong with the concubines in Yinningbo's Mansion?" ”
As soon as his words came out, some people immediately echoed him, saying that Bofu has always favored his concubines, and there were rumors that he wanted to be stiff in his life.
I don't know if this time, in order to support the concubine, no matter who came up with the idea, they pushed it on the concubine?
The second master of Nanyin Houfu broke the news again: "Your Majesty, the minister heard that Lord Du grew up with his concubine, and he is really a childhood sweetheart." Before the main wife entered the door, Lord Du and the concubine had the eldest son, and he did not hesitate to violate the ethics of the Gangchang, but also recognized the concubine in the name of the main mother. Now why not swap identities between a concubine and a concubine? Please also ask the emperor to investigate this matter and correct the court! ”
These people are all of a higher grade than Du Penghui.
Du Penghui couldn't argue with them, so he just begged the emperor to call the shots: "Your Majesty, what Weichen said is true, please ask the saint to investigate!" ”
The emperor was curious, and specially ordered Du Fu and Wanyi to meet immediately.
When Xuan Dufu and Wanyi entered the palace, when they arrived at the Bofu, they really frightened everyone in the Bofu.
While letting people settle the little eunuch, Yuan ordered someone to inform Wanyi and Du Fu.
Because the eunuch was still waiting there, and the people did not have much time to discuss and prepare.
After the Du Fu sisters were busy freshening up and dressing up, they went out with the eunuch.
Outside the gate, the carriage from the palace was already waiting outside.
In the carriage, Wanyi wanted to ask Du Fu something about the palace. But Du Fu sat there, no matter how Wanyi asked, he just didn't do anything with a cold face.
Seeing this, Wanyi had to temporarily put away her curiosity, opened a crack in the orange curtain, and looked at the street scene outside.
In a few moments, the carriage stopped beside a majestic palace wall.
Wanyi put away her smile and felt a little apprehensive in her heart.
And although Du Fu had entered the palace in his previous life, he was still nervous when he stood at the door of the Vermilion Palace at this time.
Seeing this, Wanyi held her hand and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, just follow me." ”
It was rare that Du Fu didn't talk back, but nodded solemnly.
The little eunuch brought them into the palace gate, and immediately a palace costume grandmother stepped forward to guide them.
And the eunuch withdrew.
In order to relieve the tension in her heart, Wanyi asked the grandmother: "Grandma, in order to avoid offending the queen mother later, please also ask the grandmother to inform the people of the rules in this palace." ”
The grandmother glanced at them, and then did not squint, and there was still no expression on Mu Ran's face: "The queen mother is the most kind-hearted, generous and benevolent, the two girls don't have to be restrained, what will the mother ask later, just tell the truth." ”
As she spoke, the grandmother took them to a place called the Harmony Garden, and then withdrew.
Wanyi was very curious why the queen didn't summon them in the Fengzao Palace where she lived.
But she wanted to think about it, but she didn't ask.
Seeing that there were tables and chairs in the room, and no one was present, Wanyi sat down directly, then picked up the teapot and prepared to pour herself a cup of tea.
Du Fu on the side hurriedly stopped her softly.
Wanyi and Du Fu sat and stood together, and after a while, they heard footsteps.
Wanyi hurriedly stood up.
I saw a few pretty palace maids, surrounded by a woman with a phoenix crown and a veil coming in.
This is the empress of Emperor Jingming sitting on the dragon chair.
Wanyi and Du Fu hurriedly knelt down and saluted.
Because of his previous life experience, Du Fu knelt and kowtowed; Wanyi, on the other hand, is a little stiff and unnatural.
I saw the displeasure in the queen's eyes flash, and then her tone was gentle, and she stretched out her hand to help: "You all get up!" ”
When Wanyi heard this, she got up and stood still, and saw Du Fu get up slowly, and then stood up with her head slightly bowed.
"Come, give me a seat!"
Soon a palace maid moved to embroider the pier, but Wanyi and Du Fu did not dare to sit.
The queen didn't mind, she just asked, "Who is Du Wanyi between you sisters?" ”
Wanyi's blessed body: "The courtier's daughter is Du Wanyi!" ”
"Oh? Tell me, how did you come up with this method of exterminating locusts? ”
Wanyi replied: "When the courtiers were in Zhuangzi, they once saw chickens eating insects. I also thought that locusts were also worms, and chickens must love to eat them. That's what I felt. ”
This kind of child-like whispering did not convince the queen, and she frowned and looked at Du Fu: "If it were you, how did you come up with this method?" ”
Du Fufu replied crisply: "If it is a courtier, the courtier must have heard what her father said, and she wants to share her father's worries; I also miss the emperor's mother's grace and love for the people like a son. I thought I could do something for the emperor and queen mother, so as to repay the favor of the emperor and queen mother.
I happened to dream at night, and I dreamed that I had seen a chicken eating worms, and after a while the worms turned into locusts. When the courtiers woke up, they felt that this must be the filial piety of the fairy and the courtiers, so the ghost sent the gods to support the courtiers and offer this idea to the officials. ”
Du Fu's words made the queen very satisfied, especially the words of praising the emperor, she can get tired of everything, but she never gets tired of it!
Hearing this, the queen already knew about her concubine.
However, she still asked: "Which of you is the concubine and who is the concubine?" ”
Wanyi replied: "Back to the queen's mother, the courtiers are the concubines of Yin Ningbo's mansion." ”
Du Fufu lowered his eyebrows and replied pleasantly: "The courtier is a concubine." ”
At this time, the emperor was standing behind the screen, and he saw the situation outside clearly.
He felt that Du Fu was gentle, demure, humble and polite; But what Wanyi said was childish, and the rules were not as good as Du Fu's.
In ordinary people's homes, the concubines are knowledgeable and courteous, and have both ability and political integrity, only the concubines, because they don't have to place any hopes, so they are so-so.
Is it a matter of being a concubine or a concubine?
When he appeared, he snorted directly in dissatisfaction.
Seeing the emperor coming, everyone hurriedly saluted again.
The Yellow Emperor pointed at Wanyi and said, "This must be the concubine of the Bofu." Because the original expectations were not big, it is natural that the rules and etiquette are not refined. ”
He also pointed to Du Fu: "The concubine has been well-educated since she was a child, and she speaks and acts, how can she speak and act with the concubine?" ”
He flicked his sleeve robe: "This Du Penghui is really bold, he dares to be a concubine?" ”
Wanyi was not convinced, and argued on the spot: "Your Majesty, the courtiers are really concubines, can't you let the courtiers change from concubines to concubines as soon as Chrysostom opens?" ”
"Bold! How dare you talk back to me? The concubine taught by Du Penghui is really lawless! ”
The emperor was furious.
