Chapter 13: Face to face
Tan was shocked, his heart was fluttering, and he was about to jump out of his throat, so anxious that he couldn't speak, and he couldn't speak for a long time, "So, what Xi Xi said is true?" ”
This is unbelievable, how could Niang Niang think that such a person is suitable to be Xixi's teacher? Who is trying to harm her, or the queen?
"Madam, my wife I have been working in the palace for decades, I have seen a lot of unmarried women in their thirties, and some people are not as good as her, but they have never been born, and the old woman can still see it, if the lady doesn't believe it, the old woman still has a way."
"I believe it!" Tan Shi thought that her daughter had such a fake teacher full of lies, and cold sweat broke out on her back, no matter whether what the old lady said was correct or not, she couldn't take this risk, she would rather kill by mistake than let go.
She stretched out her hand and held the old grandmother's hand, "Mama, are you willing to enter the palace with me?" ”
"Madame can trust my wife, how can my wife not know what to do? Madame rest assured, when she arrived in the palace, the old woman still said this to the nobles in the palace. The old lady assured.
After getting the words, Tan immediately instructed Zhou's mother to prepare the car, for the sake of insurance, she took the old lady into the palace alone, and Shen Qingtai stayed in the mansion, just in case something unexpected happened.
Tan didn't tell Xiyue about the rest of the matter, only let her go to Shen Xinan's courtyard, and the brother and sister had dinner together.
In the palace, Queen Yang is also ready to have dinner, she is a very easy-going person, although she has opened the country, she still likes to eat together as a family.
So fast?
Shen Xiyue thought of a solution so quickly?
He always knew that Shen Xiyue was smart, nothing could be difficult to stop her, and he didn't expect to destroy her with this matter, but it was only a few hours, and it was too fast, which made him feel a sense of victory.
After listening to Gao Shuliu's report, Empress Yang immediately put down her chopsticks and instructed the children: "You eat first, don't wait for me." ”
She got up as she said and went to meet Tan outside the hall, Zhao Yue wanted to follow, but her body was short, and before she got off the stool, Queen Yang had already walked out quickly, so angry that he only hated that he was not reborn ten years later.
Outside the hall, Tan knelt down when he saw Empress Yang, "Niangniang, the concubine has something to report, please retreat." ”
Tan is the person that Queen Yang relies on, and he is also a confidant, and he trusts him very much, even if he retreats left and right, and then personally helps Tan, "Get up, what's the matter?" ”
"Niangniang, the concubine can't get up, I am afraid that I will offend Niangniang if I say this, and I ask Niangniang to forgive me." Tan said very carefully, although she knew that Empress Yang was a virtuous queen, she did not dare to be careless, this was her duty as a subordinate.
Seeing her so cautious, Empress Yang's face couldn't help but become solemn, "You say, forgive you for your innocence." ”
"Mother." Tan Shi looked back at the old grandmother, "This is the old grandmother in the palace of the former dynasty, she said that Mr. Lu is not married as she said, she has given birth to children, and ...... And when Xixi went out to play today, someone told her that the Lu family was not the Lu family, but the Lu family's concubine. ”
Empress Yang noticed the old lady early in the morning, but Tan didn't say it, and she couldn't express her curiosity, at this time, Tan's name was called, and the old lady raised her head, and answered without humility or arrogance: "Niangniang, the old woman has been in the palace of the former dynasty for decades, countless palace maids have died of old age as virgins, and countless concubines have only been favored once in their lives. ”
Hearing this, Empress Yang finally understood why the Tan family had to retreat, this was questioning the person she gave and questioning her vision.
However, she was not angry, if she really questioned it, there was no need for the Tan family to bring someone in.
"Niangniang, who recommended you to you? I don't know what this person's intentions are. Tan said fiercely.
At this level, Empress Yang also thought about it, she was very satisfied with Tan's performance at the moment, it was obvious that Tan didn't believe that she was trying to harm Shen Xiyue, but suspected that someone was trying to harm the queen.
The concubines in the harem quickly flashed in her mind, she shook her head, those concubines were not from a high background, and they were all obedient to her, obedient and well-behaved, and they should not dare to harm her.
Who is that?
The person was recommended by the eldest daughter Zhao Shu, could it be that someone wanted to harm Shu'er?
Empress Yang thought of this, frightened to take two steps back, Shu'er is her second child, when she was born, Emperor Hongzhao almost lost the battle, she was almost captured, and then she desperately gave birth to her eldest daughter on the way to escape, Emperor Hongzhao also fought back, winning a decisive battle with less victory.
In order to commemorate the double happiness of that year, Emperor Hongzhao named his daughter Shu, hoping that she would live a comfortable life.
"There is no evidence, is there any evidence?" Empress Yang's face was not revealed, and she asked calmly, "This palace can't hold a gentleman accountable because of a grandmother's words." ”
Mr. Teaching has always been highly respected, even if it is a female gentleman, the status is very high, and Queen Yang really can't question a female gentleman because of a grandmother's words.
"Niangniang, Shougong Sha." The old lady said busily, the matter came to the queen, if she couldn't remove the mask of the Lu family, she would have to eat in prison.
The queen nodded, and raised her voice to call Gao Shuliu in the distance, "Go to the Marquis of Yong's Mansion to invite the Lu family." ”
Xinyong Hou Mansion, Lu Shi waited in the flower hall for a long time, did not wait to have dinner with the Hou family, but waited for Zhou's mother to invite her back to the courtyard, she was a little dissatisfied, but she didn't show it, just scolded a few words in a low voice where no one was around, and the Shen family had no rules and couldn't be on the stage.
Before he could soothe the dissatisfaction in his heart, the people in the palace arrived, "Mr. Lu, the queen invites you to enter the palace." ”
Lu's eyebrows jumped, and his heart tightened, "I just came out of the palace, I don't know if Niangniang announced that there is something important?" ”
"I'll know when I arrive, sir, please." Gao Shuliu didn't hear it at all, and even if he heard the conversation, he wouldn't tell her.
Lu Shi knew that he couldn't ask any valuable information from Gao Shuliu's mouth, so he checked himself in his heart, and after not finding anything exposed, his posture was higher, and he almost wrote the words Qinggao on the door of his head.
From the Xinyong Marquis Mansion to the palace, it didn't take much time, and it was soon there, at this time, the Tan family had already gotten up, sitting under the queen, and behind them stood Mother Zhou and the old lady.
As soon as Lu Shi appeared, she sensed that the atmosphere was wrong, but she did not panic at all, and saluted without humility or arrogance: "See the queen mother, I didn't expect to see Mrs. Shen here." ”
Tan didn't take a stubble, only moved the corners of his mouth, but he couldn't laugh, and his face was cold.
Lu quickly analyzed the form, and came to the conclusion that Tan was dissatisfied with her being Shen Xiyue's teacher, and looked at the old grandmother, but the old lady also became a fine, her eyes did not move, her expression was blank, like a dummy, and she couldn't see anything for the time being.
But Mother Zhou, who is not deep, and feels that the Lu family wants to harm the eldest girl of her family, and she hates it in her heart, and she can't hide it in her eyes, so the Lu family is even more sure that the Marquis of Xinyong Mansion is dissatisfied with her!
A group of low-class people from mud legs, what qualifications do they have to be dissatisfied?!
"Mr. Lu, there are people who suspect that you have given birth to children, not that you are still unmarried as you said, how do you explain? Xixi is the pearl of Xinyonghou's palm, she was born and watched by this palace, and no one can hurt her! “
Empress Yang's words were cold, her expression was serious, and she was extremely majestic, and the queen's momentum made everyone bow their heads, including the Lu family, who had been pretending to be neither humble nor arrogant, and she knelt down with a puff.
"Niangniang, I don't know who framed the people's daughter?! The folk girl wants to confront her face to face! ”
After a brief panic, Lu came back to his senses and began to defend himself.
Empress Yang's majestic eyes fell on the old lady, and the old lady knelt down and crawled over, kneeling side by side with the Lu family, "It's very simple to prove that you are still a virgin, order a palace guard." ”
"Shoumiyasha?" Lu Shi secretly breathed a sigh of relief and sneered: "Why do you need to order one more, I always have it in my hand!" ”
She said and rolled up her sleeves, revealing a red palace sand on her fair skin, "Niangniang, although the people's court is ruined and not as good as in the past, they are not the kind of people who are bullied, and the Marquis of Xinyong suspects the chastity of the people's daughters, as if they want the lives of the people's daughters!" Please also ask the mother to be the master of the people! ”
