Chapter Seventy-Two: Provocation
In her opinion, the palace maid did it on purpose, if she hadn't avoided it quickly, it is estimated that the dim sum with soup and water would have poured directly on her head!
"Palm!" Everyone heard the sound of Qingyi, and before they could react, they saw Mama Lan take a step forward and grab the thin palace maid and slap her fiercely left and right.
Except for the nearby Mrs. Shizi, Princess Minjun, and the lady on her right hand who understood the situation, the other ladies didn't know what was going on because of the distance, and they only saw the personal grandmother of the Duchess of the Kingdom, who was full of rumors, and actually supported the palace maid in public with no one in her eyes.
At this time, everyone thought: The duchess of this country is too bold, and she dares to punish the palace maid in the court without asking the reason, which is completely indifferent to the queen, the crown princess, the concubines, and the women!
Zhao Jiao can't be annoyed, this discerning person can see that someone is manipulating her, and those who have the courage to fix her are either the queen or the crown princess, or even other people in the palace.
Princess Cheng has no interest in her, and judging from her face, the weak and weak is a soft bun, a good person, and at first glance she is a weak and incompetent person.
The princess of King Cheng is so shrewd, she doesn't dare to bully a higher grade than her.
And Princess Minjun is not to mention, this person can't keep talking at a glance, and if she has any dissatisfaction, she will release it directly on the spot.
The second-hand lady, even if there is a conflict, will not make a move at the palace banquet, this is completely an unpopular practice, harming others and herself.
She has already understood that this lady is from a family, where is her origin and age, if she really can't look down on her, she will look for it directly, why bother?
At this time, the whole banquet scene was silent.
It was the end of the feast, and everyone was looking forward to the feast so that they could go home and reunite with their children and grandchildren.
The banquet dishes are average, and the banquet is the first time that the new dynasty has held, except for Princess Qinghe, basically no children, what is the picture of the end of the year? Isn't it just a reunion with children and grandchildren, a family reunion?
Alas, this time it's over, but it's going to be a big show, it won't affect you, right? The crowd wondered.
The original gentle expression of the queen at the top was gone, and at the moment she looked at the head coldly with no expression.
The crown princess's face was a little pale, she didn't expect such a thing to happen. I didn't expect that this woman would not give any face, and she arranged the entire banquet today!
Princess Qinghe ignored it directly, she was taking care of a pair of children to eat and drink. The son is eight or nine years old, and he can eat and drink by himself, but the youngest daughter can't, only about two years old, and she is slowly coaxing her to feed her more.
After Mama Lan held on for twenty strokes, Zhao Jiao nodded, and she retreated to the back.
"Don't blame the queen! This palace maid doesn't understand the rules so much, she should let Mama Lan, who was born in the palace, teach her, and she will be stable in doing things in the future, and she won't dare to be presumptuous.
But this palace maid is so bold that she dares to pour a snack with soup directly on the head of the courtier, fortunately, the courtier's dodge quickly, otherwise wouldn't she make a dish with a face?
The courtiers went back today, but they couldn't take the carriage, so they could only cross the street with their proud sons. There is no curfew today, and the common people in this capital see the courtiers full of dishes, and don't they think it's the queen's hospitality? ”
The queen didn't speak coldly, stared at her for a few seconds, and then turned around to the crown princess with sharp eyes.
The crown princess is really scared now!
She didn't want to make it difficult for this rumor-ridden Duchess of the Kingdom.
In any case, Cai Dacheng is the prince's confidant and courtier, and she will not toss her unless her brain is pumped!
Even if it was really arranged by her, what could it bring her? Just to have a bad relationship with Zhao Jiao? Didn't that push Cai Dacheng away? Her son doesn't want to be the emperor's grandson?
If he has a bad relationship with Zhao Jiao, the prince will not treat her in the first place, and may even provoke him.
But now this palace maid is a person in her palace, it's really indescribable!
Zhao Jiao didn't embarrass the queen too much, although she estimated that she was either the queen and the crown princess, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt that it was unlikely, and suspected that they were also calculated.
With Cai Dacheng's status in the hearts of the emperor and the crown prince, these two people should not treat her so stupidly, even if she does not abide by women's morals and rumors are flying all over the sky.
So he gave the steps again, "Please also ask the princess to send someone to investigate in detail to see if this palace maid is specially sent by someone to deal with the courtiers?"
It is said that the queen and you are usually very good to the courtiers, and it is impossible to reproach the courtiers so much in public, and the courtiers estimate that it should be the work of the remnants of the previous dynasty. ”
When the queen saw that Zhao Jiao gave the steps, her face finally eased, but she still told the princess sharply to catch someone as soon as possible.
The crown princess promised.
"Queen Mother, the courtiers have something to say!" A young woman sitting at the end of the feast suddenly stood up.
Zhao Jiao looked for prestige, this woman looked in her early twenties, her face was white and weak, and she was looking at her with contempt at this time.
"It's coming!" Zhao Jiao knew in her heart that only those who were really looking for trouble would appear.
The queen at the top glanced at it, then turned to Zhao Jiao, and the latter nodded to her without a trace, so she asked, "What's the matter?" But it doesn't hurt for you to say it. ”
"The courtier's grandson's surname is Wang, and he is now working in the Ministry of Rites. is humble, not as young as Chang Guogong, and has a high position. After Mrs. Wang finished speaking, seeing that the queen did not stop her, she said:
"Previously, tens of thousands of people in the capital were talking about a new thing after tea and dinner, that is, our Duchess Changguo actually married a daughter, I don't know what happened?"
Zhao Jiao looked at her like that, and probably fooled people into making a valve, so she jumped out and screamed unconsciously, so she smiled and said, "What? Isn't it? ”
Mrs. Wang said: "If not, the courtiers will offend you by kneeling down and humbling you!" If so, I am willing to ask the queen to do justice and fill the pond with such an immoral ** to vent the anger of the people! After speaking, he pointed at Zhao Jiao with an angry face.
"Oh? It seems that Mrs. Wang is very upright and kind? I want to represent ordinary people here and do justice for them.
But how did I hear that several officials of your husband's family are greedy and lustful, and they are rampant in the local area, and they treat human life like grass, haven't you heard of this? Why don't you stand up for the people? ”
"You talk nonsense! I'm talking about someone else! ”
"But I'm not talking nonsense!" Zhao Jiao still replied with a smile, "This is proven!" ”
"Mrs. Wang's husband and uncle, when he was the government in Quzhou, he embezzled and accepted bribes, confusedly judged cases and disregarded people's lives, and left tens of millions of people to escape alone during the flood.
Not only that, but the son he taught was also crooked at the top and crooked at the bottom, searching for money everywhere and robbing beautiful women.
The woman was carried back to the house as a concubine and slave, and if she did not obey, the whole family would not be at peace.
The men were arrested and imprisoned as slaves and servants, and the women were sold into the official shop as prostitutes, and all the family wealth was confiscated into your uncle's pocket......"
"You're spewing blood! I'm prodigal and barking like a dog! Mrs. Wang was so angry that she smoked.
