223, "Mother and Son" confrontation (2)
To the surprise of Empress Dowager Feng, Liu Jun did not continue on this topic, as if Fang Cai's words were just mentioned unintentionally, but it made Empress Dowager Feng's heart beat a drum, and she always felt that he had some bad intentions.
For this prince who suddenly appeared, she didn't have a good impression at all, and even had a deep disgust.
At first, she thought that the first emperor was hindered by the strength of the ancient dynasty and the identity of the eldest princess, so she had to be hypocritical, but later she found out that the first emperor really took the initiative to the eldest prince.
If it weren't for the fact that she was the prime minister's concubine, and she had always been low-key and did not compete for favor, and the first emperor was not good at directly giving the prime minister's face, I am afraid that she would be like those harem women, all of whom were dismissed from the palace.
Although Great Xia is not as powerful as the ancient dynasty and is only a small country, no emperor has ever favored the harem alone in the past dynasties, how could Gu Ying let the first emperor do this for her?
Gu Ying is the name of the eldest princess, because the day she was born coincided with the full moon, the moon was like water, and she was shining, so the first emperor of the ancient dynasty gave her this name.
Empress Dowager Feng can be said to hate Gu Ying very much, and she won't even like her son.
Although it is said that Gu Ying died tragically in the palace in the end, the first emperor made an exception and promoted her to a concubine in order to stabilize the court, and later sat in the position of the queen mother, but when she thought that it was her turn because Gu Ying was gone, she went crazy with hatred.
What made her even more angry was that Ouyang Jing, a dead-eyed person, was really willing to be a regent who guarded the country for others, and had been desperately looking for that child all these years, and it was so coincidental that he was really found by him, and then personally put him in the position of the crown prince, and finally wanted to give him the entire Great Xia without any nostalgia.
Why? What is the reason for this?
Gu Ying has successfully snatched her man, her happiness, and now Gu Ying's son is still coming to rob her, why?!
She is unwilling, she is really not reconciled at all!
Seeing that Empress Dowager Feng's expression became a little hideous, Mama Zhou, who knew her thoughts best, immediately guessed that she must have thought of those unhappy things in the past again, and patted Empress Dowager Feng's arm without a trace, and then said to Liu Jun with a smile: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the Empress Dowager specially ordered someone to prepare chilled almond syrup, can you use a bowl?" ”
Liu Jun nodded indifferently and said, "Then I'll bother Mama Zhou." ”
"Don't dare, this is all the Queen Mother's thoughts." After Mama Zhou finished speaking, she walked to the door and instructed the palace people to bring up the almond dew, and then stood back beside the Empress Dowager Feng.
After her interruption, Empress Dowager Feng had already come back to her senses, and a smile on her face that she thought was gentle, but was actually still a little stiff, followed her words: "Today's weather is a little hot, it's excellent to drink some of this." ”
"Let the queen mother bother, I don't know why the queen mother specially called her son over?" Liu Jun said lightly.
"Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just that Ruyi's girl was really heartbroken by you this time, crying and shouting at home that she would have no face to see people in the future, and she was going to twist her hair to be a sister-in-law, fortunately, Mrs. Xiangye persuaded her, but she didn't eat or drink, Mrs. Xiangye was worried about her, and specially ordered someone to deliver the news to the mourning family, and the mourning family called you over."
Saying that, she sighed helplessly, and continued: "The mourning family also understands that this emotional matter cannot be forced, since you have no intention of her, make it clear as soon as possible, and it is also a good thing to know her thoughts, but Ruyi is a girl after all, thin-skinned, and if you say such ruthless words in front of so many people, it is no wonder that she can't think about it." ”
Liu Jun raised her eyes to look at her, her expression was as indifferent as water, and asked, "So, what do you want your son to do?" ”
"Even if you can't be a husband and wife, you are cousins and sisters, if you make too much trouble, it will make people see the joke, the little girl's temperament comes and goes quickly, the mourning family hopes that you can coax her, at least let her not continue to make trouble, it can be regarded as a good fate with the Prime Minister's Mansion, what do you think?"
"I'm sorry, my son can't do it."
Empress Dowager Feng didn't expect Liu Jun to refuse so simply, without any hesitation, the anger that was originally suppressed in her heart came out again, and her tone of voice couldn't help but be a little colder, "You haven't done it yet, how do you know you can't do it?" The mourning family just asked you to say a few soft words to coax her, but didn't force you to marry her, is it so difficult? ”
The corners of Liu Jun's mouth lifted lightly, and she pulled out a thin and cool arc that saw through everything, "If Lone coaxes her, it is equivalent to proving that what I told her that day was a lie, Lone is the prince, how can he go back on his word?" ”
Without waiting for Empress Dowager Feng to speak, he quickly continued: "Queen Mother, you also said just now, that day Lone was in front of everyone to say those words, if Lone went to coax her, everyone would know that Lone himself overthrew his words, so, may I ask the Queen Mother, how can a prince who does not go back on his word and deeds convince the public?" ”
As soon as she finished saying this, it was equivalent to blocking all the words of the Empress Dowager Feng, so angry that she almost didn't take a breath, and she didn't care about pretending to be "mother and son filial piety", raised her hand and pointed at Liu Jun, Feng's eyes were full of anger that could not be hidden.
Seeing this, Mama Zhou hurriedly stretched out her hand to support her, lowered her voice, and quickly persuaded her in her ear: "Niangniang, don't be angry, you can't turn your face with the prince now." ”
Yes, now is not the best time to tear her face with this dead child, and she must endure this breath for the sake of the future.
Slowly put down the raised arm, sat up straight, closed her eyes and took a deep breath, and after her emotions calmed down a little, she opened her eyes again, lightly opened her lips, and said faintly through gritted teeth: "The prince is right, it is the mourning family who has not thought it through." There is nothing else to do, and the mourning family suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, so they didn't keep the prince. ”
It happened that the palace people brought the almond dew in, and the corners of Liu Jun's lips were slightly hooked, and said: "Wait for the son to eat the almond dew before leaving, it is a mother's heart of the queen mother, how can the son waste it?" ”
Eat, eat, eat, preferably eat you to death! Empress Dowager Feng had already begun to scold her mother in her heart, but she still had to pretend to be kind on her face, and nodded in agreement: "It's rare that you like the prince, and it's not in vain to mourn the family's hard work." ”
Seeing that Empress Dowager Feng didn't look at the bowl of almond dew placed in her hand at all, she stood up with Mama Zhou's hand, and saw that she was about to go to the inner room, Liu Jun pretended to be surprised and asked, "Doesn't the queen mother accompany her son?" "90 look
Empress Dowager Feng paused, grabbed Mama Zhou's hand and couldn't help but exert force, pinching Mama Zhou for a while, but she could only endure it, and her brows furrowed suddenly.
"The mourning family is old, and the imperial doctor said that the mourning family should eat as little raw and cold things as possible, and the prince should eat slowly by yourself." Although she had tried her best to keep her tone calm, she was so angry that no matter how she hid it, she could hear the perfunctory and stiffness in her tone.
"That's a pity, you must take good care of your body, you really have to pay attention to a lot of things when you are old. Mama Zhou, you must take good care of your mother, don't let your mother work too hard, you know? Liu Jun said with a serious face.
Empress Dowager Feng grabbed Mama Zhou's hand and tightened it again, so painful that she almost cried out, so she could only endure it, squeezed out a smile, and said to Liu Jun: "Don't worry, the prince can save the slave." ”
After deliberately eating the bowl of almond syrup slowly, Liu Jun left Zhongxiu Palace with no name.
After walking far away, Nameless whispered with a smile: "Master, you have made the Queen Mother very angry this time, and it is estimated that she is smashing things in the house to vent her anger." ”
He guessed right, isn't Empress Dowager Feng just smashing things in the inner room to vent her anger now? Mama Zhou and Grandpa He didn't dare to go up to stop her, so they could only kneel on the ground and keep begging her to calm their anger, plus they were very careful to prevent themselves from being accidentally hit by debris.
The corners of Liu Jun's mouth provoked a sarcastic arc, and said coldly: "Inform the Internal Affairs Office, if Zhong Xiugong goes to make up for something, she will not give it, and when she has nothing to smash, it will naturally stop." ”
Nameless wanted to pick a thumbs-up for him and say "well done", but he was afraid that the two of them were now in the palace, and as an entourage, it was inappropriate for the master to do such a move, so he had to bow his head and laugh twice.
They were happy, but the governor of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, who received the order, wanted to cry without tears.
On the one hand, the queen mother, who has been in charge of the harem for many years, and on the other hand, the prince who is in the sky, he is a small steward, no matter which side he can't afford to offend, but now he has to choose to offend one of them.
This is simply a fight between immortals, mortals are suffering, he really wants to resign and go home!
In the end, the steward finally gritted his teeth and made a choice, and the next day he sent back the palace maid of Zhongxiu Palace who came to repair the things, and then, it is said that Zhongxiu Palace destroyed another batch of porcelain.
Empress Dowager Feng stood among the porcelain fragments all over the ground, her face was so angry that she lost color, her teeth clenched and her lower lip clenched, and she trembled.
"This little brute! How dare he? How dare he?! ”
If Liu Jun was standing in front of her at this moment, she would rush up and tear his heart.
Mama Zhou hurriedly persuaded: "Niangniang is angry, you also know that the current steward of the Internal Affairs Office is the regent's person, and the regent is on the prince's side, where do his people dare to disobey the prince's will?" ”
"So it's useless to talk to the mourning family now, right? This harem is obviously the place where the mourning family is in charge, and now the mourning family has to rely on the snort of that little beast to live, right? ”
"Niangniang, the overall situation is important!"
"The big picture, the big picture...... You're right, how can the mourning family be led by the nose by a little brute? Go, let someone call Xuwen over, and say that the mourning family is sick. ”
"Mother, do you want to ......"
Empress Dowager Feng raised her head high, and her face, which had become a little unrecognizable because of anger, was full of calculations at the moment, "They are brothers, they should always move around more to connect with their feelings, you say, right?" ”
Soon, the second prince, Ouyang Xuwen, came in a hurry.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw the Empress Dowager Feng with a brocade on her head, lying on her side on the chaise longue, and her face pale, his heart suddenly lifted, and he ran to the side of the couch in a few big steps, and asked worriedly: "Queen Mother, what's wrong with you?" Why did you suddenly get sick? What's uncomfortable? Can you send someone to pass on the imperial doctor? ”
Empress Dowager Feng pulled out a smile, and just wanted to speak, but coughed violently a few times, and her face became even paler.
Mama Zhou said with a sad frown while smoothing her back: "Second Highness, the Queen Mother is angry, so ......"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Empress Dowager Feng immediately stopped her, but as soon as she finished speaking, she coughed violently.
Ouyang Xuwen was so worried that his eyes began to redden, and he hurriedly looked at Mama Zhou and asked, "Mama, you make it clear, who is the queen mother angry with?" What the hell is going on? ”
"It's not the prince yet, he'......"
"Shut up! The mourners can't order you, can they? ”
"Niangniang, you are sick like this, even if the slave is punished today, you have to say it!" Mama Zhou looked at Ouyang Xuwen, with tears in her eyes and a sad look, "Niangniang passed the prince over two days ago because of the matter of the Ruyi girl, it was out of good intentions, and she didn't want him to have a stalemate with the Prime Minister's Mansion, but the prince not only had a tough attitude, but also repeatedly contradicted it, and even made the people of the Internal Affairs Office cut off the supply of Zhongxiu Palace, and Niangniang ...... it."
Ouyang Xuwen's face was so black that he could almost drip ink when he heard this, and without saying a word, he turned his head and strode out.
