Chapter 106: The Palace Hongmen Banquet
Two days later, when the regent Zhou Zimu went to the White Crane Academy to prepare for this year's imperial examination.
A palace man came to a tavern, his face was beardless, his skin was pale, and his sharp voice said to Jin Se: "The Queen Mother has spoken to Zhuang Jin Se in a tavern to come to the palace to meet him." Go now, don't make a mistake. ”
I don't know why the Queen Mother suddenly saw herself, Jin Se can only explain the matter. I got into the carriage to the palace.
"Old Uncle Zhong, the shopkeeper will be fine, right? How could the Queen Mother want to see her? Xia Zhuzhi saw that Zhong Yi had been looking at the carriage that Jin Se was far away.
"Don't worry, it'll be fine. Our shopkeeper is very good. Zhong Yi was very relieved of Jinse.
He just sighed at the fate of this thing, the young lady likes the regent, but the queen mother can't tolerate it. This trip to the palace, I don't know how many things will cause again.
At this moment, Jin Se, who was sitting in the carriage, had not yet realized what would happen to him when he entered the palace.
The carriages of the royal palace were magnificent, and even the cushions were softer than ordinary carriages. There was incense in the carriage, and there was a hint of floral fragrance in the air.
Jin Se has sat in so many carriages, and there are also Li Haoyue's carriages that are simple on the outside and luxurious on the inside.
"February, you said the carriage costs a lot of money, right?" Jin Se asked curiously.
"Miss, this is the carriage in the palace, so naturally it costs a lot of silver. The rules in the palace are big, you have to pay more attention, talk less and watch more, and don't let people catch the handle. "After entering the palace, February can't guarantee that he can protect Jinse.
The Queen Mother has always regarded the regent as a thorn in her side, and this time she suddenly invited the young lady into the palace, and she must not have a good heart.
Jin Se smiled and comforted February: "Don't be afraid, you Miss and I are a civilian, and the Queen Mother shouldn't worry about me as a little person." ”
February didn't know how to persuade Jin Se to pay attention, she could only hope that everything would go well when she entered the palace this time.
When he arrived at the palace, Jin Se was shocked by the golden and brilliant scene in front of him. On the palace wall, a giant dragon opened its teeth and danced its claws, lifelike, as if it was about to fly into the air in the next second.
Following the palace people, Jin Se came to the palace of the Queen Mother, and was left outside the palace in February.
"Empress Dowager Qi, Zhuang Jinse brought it." The palace people saluted the Queen Mother and reported loudly.
Seeing the palace people kneeling on the ground, Jin Se hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether to kneel or stand. With this hesitation, she missed the best opportunity to salute.
Forget it, I'm really not used to kneeling or anything. Jin Se simply didn't kneel.
She bowed to the Queen Mother, and she didn't know if it was right or not, anyway, someone had taught her the etiquette in the palace.
The Queen Mother Li Wanzhen saw that Jin Se didn't even kneel to her, and her dissatisfaction with Jin Se was a little more. Lie Yu on the side saw Jin Se softly, and he didn't know how to perform palace salutes, and he laughed in his heart. Even if the regent likes you, you're a commoner. can't even salute, how can you be worthy of being a regent princess.
"Look up." The Queen Mother lazily shouted, "Let me see what the girl who makes both the regent and Haoyue's child look like?" ”
Jin Se raised his head, just look at it, I am not ugly, and I will not embarrass Zimu.
This queen mother's tone is not good, I have to be careful.
"What, what a beautiful woman I should be, but Er'er." Li Wanzhen covered her mouth and chuckled, her face was full of mockery, "How can the posture of the willow compete with the peony." ”
People like Rao is Jinse were also angry by Li Wanzhen's words.
She simply gave Li Wanzhen another salute: "Jin Se doesn't dare to be an eyesore in front of the Queen Mother, it's better for me to leave the palace early today." ”
The other party's background is too hard to be hard. Jin Se can only go to the top of the thirty-six counts.
Jin Se turned around and wanted to leave.
"Stop, did I let you go?" Li Wanzhen won't let Jin Se go easily, "Miss Jin Se and I hit it off at first sight. I would like to ask Miss Jinse to stay for dinner today. ”
Whoever hit you off at first sight! I don't know you well!
Jin Se, who was blocked by the palace maid, had to stand back again.
"Hey, don't even think about leaving when you're here today." Lie Yurou smiled proudly on the side. Every time she is deflated in Jinse's hands, today she watched her aunt take action to rectify Zhuang Jinse. Her heart was indescribably happy.
If her aunt can solve Zhuang Jinse today, she will be done once and for all.
"I said Zhuang Jinse, you salute my aunt. Don't you bow to me? I've seen you so many times, and I've never seen you properly, and I've been honest with you. Taking advantage of the fact that no one who could support Jinse was there, Lie Yurou asked Jinse to salute her.
The cousin was taken out of the city by his aunt, and the regent was in the White Crane Academy, and Zhuang Jinse was a waste if no one helped.
"Say hello to Lord Yaojia." Jin Se was honest and saluted, and people had to bow their heads under the eaves of the palace.
In the past, Jin Se did not really feel the strictness of the ancient hierarchy, and her circle was mostly merchants. The official who knows the most is Jingzhao Mansion Yin. Zhou Zimu will not put the regent in front of her.
The pressure of royal power was pressing on her head at this moment, and it became a mountain. She can't resist, as a modern person, what she has engraved in her bones is that everyone is equal.
It's just that she is in the royal family, and she doesn't understand or understand the life of a higher person.
"Miss Jinse, I'll get straight to the point. Please leave the Regent, you are different from his identity, you are not a member of the world. You are just a commoner, and you are not qualified to be the regent princess of our Tianyao Kingdom. ”
The Empress Dowager Li Wanzhen directly said her intention to let Jin Se come to the palace, she wanted Jin Se to retreat. Took the initiative to leave the regent Zhou Zimu.
This world must belong to the Li family, and the current little emperor is her son. As long as the regent is drawn into her camp, she can secretly assist the little emperor. As the most powerful woman in Tianyao Kingdom.
The princess regent must be a member of the Li family, and no one can stop her.
"Queen Mother, I am in love with the Prince Regent. I'm not going to leave him. Jin Se refused without thinking about it.
"Are you qualified to speak like that in front of me! I'm just informing you, not asking for your consent. You have to agree today, and you have to agree if you don't. Li Wan was really fierce, and with a wave of her hand, the two palace people immediately stepped forward to stop Jin Se.
Jin Se was pressed to the ground by Shengsheng in pain.
"Let go of me! A bunch of you bully one of me. If a word is useful, why do you bother to bring me into the palace. You are bullying me with your identity, and if you want Lie Yurou to be the regent, you have to see if Zimu agrees! ”
Being pressed to the ground, Jin Se didn't care so much. If you don't speak, you're being bullied, so it's better to go back quickly.
"Presumptuous! Sharp teeth, since the mouth is so powerful, find me to greet her. Li Wanzhen was furious.
No one dared to refute her words to her face, and the Empress Dowager Li Wanzhen felt that her authority had been questioned.
She has been in the palace for many years and has always been high. Except for the fact that she failed to get the support of the regent in the matter of the little emperor, she has always said nothing in the harem.
The last time someone dared to resist her, she ordered someone to break her leg and drive her out of the palace.
Look at how hard this Zhuang Jinse's mouth can be!
If you want to say that you are afraid of Jinse, you must be afraid, and I am afraid of fish and meat.
It is impossible for her to give up Zhou Zimu!
Seeing that the slap was about to fall on his face. "Wait!" Jinse exclaimed. Fight for your last chance of life.
"What else do you have to say?" The Queen Mother raised her hand to stop the palace maid's movements, "Now that I promise to leave the regent, I can still let you go." You're Haoyue's sister-in-law, and I don't want to be too ugly. ”
Such a combination of soft and hard tricks, Li Wanzhen has used it I don't know how many times. Very few people survive the torture and still maintain their original intentions.
"I want to say if you can not hit me, how ugly it looks in the face. When you went out of the palace and were seen, you said that you were beaten by the Queen Mother's people, how faceless you are. The Queen Mother bullied a little girl. ”
Jin Se knelt on the ground and made a surrender gesture with both hands.
"Auntie, you can't be fooled by her. This guy just has a great mouth! Lie Yurou saw that Jin Se was not slapped, and she was angry. If you go up yourself, you have to do it.
She reached for her waist, where the long whip was not on her body. You are not allowed to carry weapons at will when entering the palace.
Without a weapon, she slapped Zhuang Jinse with her own hand.
"Lie Yurou, don't think about it. We've known each other for so long, and every time it's you who do it, think about my feelings. You do it, and your cousin won't let you go. Jin Se brought Li Haoyue out to scare Lie Yurou.
Although there was a moment of hesitation, Lie Yurou still rolled up her sleeves to give Jinse a look.
"I'm telling you, don't press me with my cousin. Aunt is here, and your cousin can't protect you. Lie Yu smiled proudly, she wanted to teach Zhuang Jinse a good lesson.
At this moment, Jin Se was pulled by someone, and he couldn't hide if he wanted to.
She could only close her eyes in resignation, or she would be slapped in the face. It's not too late for a woman to take revenge for ten years, Lie Yurou, you wait for me!
In February, if you don't come again, my little face won't be saved.
The pain of imagination did not come.
Jin Se opened one eye, and February reached out and grabbed Lie Yurou's wrist. February let go of Lie Yurou and rescued Jin Se from the hands of the two palace maids.
"It's the other way around! Dare to do it in the palace of the main palace. Come! Arrest them all for me. Li Wanzhen didn't expect that someone would dare to save people directly in her palace.
"I made her do it." The immature voice came from outside the palace gate.
The little emperor Zhou Yubai appeared in front of everyone. Everyone knelt on the ground and saluted the little emperor.
Jin Se is in a trance now, she used to share the same bed, and the child who told bedtime stories was actually the king of Tianyao Kingdom!
"Emperor, how can you be fooling around! This girl is the most disrespectful, and I teach her a lesson. "The Queen Mother Li Wanzhen was very surprised that her son would stand up for Zhuang Jinse.
The little emperor Zhou Yubai didn't say much, and his mother didn't care enough about him at all. Otherwise, how could she not know that she was out of the palace that time to stay in Sister Jinse's Zhuangfu.
"Mother, I apologize to you on behalf of Sister Jinse. It's not too early, let my sister go back early. Zhou Yubai spoke, and Jin Se was escorted out of the palace.
On the way back, Jin Se realized that February, who was not at ease, went to the little emperor for help.
Zhou Yubai thought that Sister Jinse was kind to him, so he came forward to confront his mother and concubine.
