Chapter 31: One Singing and One Harmony
Listening to Gu Shinian's determined tone, Emperor Hong Zheng also knew that this was not a lie, so Mingzhu was really wronged today?
Emperor Hong Zheng couldn't sit still, and hurriedly said: "Taifu don't be impatient, I will call Xiao Jiu and them to ask and see what is going on." If Mingzhu is really wronged, I will seek justice for her. ”
Gu Yanzhang got up and saluted, and refused strongly: "Your Majesty, no need." Mingzhu is my Gu family, looking back on the family, it is natural to say that Mingzhu is getting older, and there are many princes in the palace, which is always inappropriate. ”
This is reasonable, Emperor Hong Zheng will not be able to find a refutation for a while, and he is angry in his heart who provoked Mingzhu and attracted the temperament of Taifu.
"Taifu also knows that the Queen Mother regards Mingzhu as her eyeballs, and I really don't want her old man to lack this intimate little padded jacket. Now that Mingzhu has returned to the palace, why don't Taifu and I go to Cining Palace to greet the Queen Mother, and then ask Mingzhu what she means? ”
Emperor Hong Zheng made such a concession, and Gu Yanzhang could no longer rely on the old and sell the old, so he had to say: "The old minister may not have seen the pearl for a long time, but he happened to see him today." ”
At this time, Empress Dowager Zhong happened to listen to Yan Shaoxun explain the ins and outs of today.
I saw that Mrs. Zhong's back was sinking like water, her phoenix eyes were slightly narrowed, and her back was straight, and those who were familiar with her knew that this was a manifestation of Empress Dowager Zhong's anger to the extreme.
She didn't expect that Changle would want to ruin Zhu Zhu'er's appearance. I didn't expect that the Jiang family would be so bold that they would dare to pass on Zhu Zhu'er as a person who disregarded honesty and shame and plotted to seize the Nine Emperor Concubines.
It seems that she has been in Cining Palace for a long time, and the Jiang family thinks that this harem is the queen's world.
Empress Dowager Zhong snorted coldly, and was about to make an edict to let Changle and the Jiang family sisters, as well as Bai Jinse, enter the palace.
A loud voice came from outside: "The emperor has arrived!" ”
Empress Dowager Zhong sat still and looked at the door, but was surprised to find that her in-law Gu Tingzhang had also entered the palace.
"My son has seen the Queen Mother."
"The old minister has seen the Queen Mother."
Empress Dowager Zhong smiled and said, "Emperor, why do you have time to come over with the old lady to see the mourning family today?" Mrs. Gu, how are you doing? Come on, quickly give Mrs. Gu a seat. ”
Yan Shaoxun and Yan Rongling also came to salute and see the emperor.
Emperor Hong Zheng glared at Yan Shaoxun and Yan Rongling fiercely, and said with a smile: "Queen Mother, the Taifu wants to see Mingzhu, so I will come with the Taifu and ask the Queen Mother for peace." ”
Gu Yanzhang also bowed and said, "Thank you for the Queen Mother's concern, everything is fine with the old minister." I took the liberty to enter the palace today because I wanted to take Mingzhu home. ”
The Queen Mother suddenly thought of the people and things that Mingzhu met today, and knew Gu Tingzhang's intention.
But he pretended not to understand: "Mingzhu will freshen up in the back, and come out to see Taifu immediately." In the first month of the New Year, Mingzhu only went back to live for three days, I don't know how many days the Taifu will take back today? ”
Gu Tingzhang looked straight at the Empress Dowager Zhong, got up and saluted: "Empress Dowager, Mingzhu is already the year of cardamom this year, and there are many princes in the palace. ”
Empress Dowager Zhong heard the strings and knew the elegance, it seems that the in-laws are also here to seek justice for the pearl, this trick is better to retreat, and immediately cooperate.
Arrogantly said: "That's not good! Zhu Zhu'er is the life of the mourning family, and if the Taifu wants to take Zhu Zhu'er away, he is digging the heart of the mourning family! Emperor, you can't watch them dig into the hearts of mourners! ”
Emperor Hong Zheng is also uncomfortable, he has no daughter, and he has always loved Mingzhu as his own daughter.
"Taifu, Mingzhu grew up in the palace since she was a child, and Xiaoliu and Xiaojiu are all cousins, even if Mingzhu has someone to look at, I will be perfect. How can you avoid suspicion and just say? And who dares to chew their tongues? ”
These words came from the mouth of Emperor Hong Zheng, which is already a disguised marriage, which means that no matter who Mingzhu fancies, he will be fulfilled.
Yan Shaoxun listened to Emperor Hong Zheng's tone, as if he excluded himself, and immediately brushed his sense of existence. He said: "Father, today someone explained to Cousin Zhu in person that she was in the palace just to marry a prince." knew that the ninth brother belonged to him, and he wanted to rob the ninth brother's good marriage. ”
Yan Rongling stepped back to the side without a trace.
As soon as Emperor Hong Zheng finished speaking, he was slapped in the face by Yan Shaoxun, kicked him in anger, and scolded: "Bastard thing, someone slandered Mingzhu in person, can you, the elder brother, stand up for her?" ”
Yan Shaoxun was kicked in the leg, knelt down, and raised his head and said, "Father, the son naturally wants to stand up for Cousin Mingzhu." The son was about to ask his father for guilt, and my sixth brother and I beat the chief Yin of Uncle Chenliu's family, and asked my father to punish him! ”
Yan Rongling also knelt down and said, "Father, not only me and the fifth brother did it, Zhong Zibin also beat Jiang Yong, and I will enter the palace to ask my father and mother for their guilt in a while." ”
Emperor Hong Zheng smiled, sat down on the left side of Empress Dowager Zhong, waved his hand and said, "It seems that your trip today is quite exciting." The Queen Mother, Taifu, why don't we wait for the complaint, the guilty one, and then talk about it when all the people who are complaining and asking for guilt? ”
Empress Dowager Zhong nodded with satisfaction and said, "Mrs. Gu, please take a seat, junior five, junior six, you take Gu Jiaerlang to go outside first." In the summer and spring, I went to invite the queen and the virtuous concubine to come over, and asked Xiao Yuanzi to pass the decree and pass the Bai Jinse of the Qingping Hou family into the palace together. ”
Xia Chun and Xiao Yuanzi retreated, and Emperor Hong Zheng was a little surprised: "Queen Mother, the children are making such a big fuss today?" ”
Empress Dowager Zhong smiled faintly, looked up at the solemn and empty palace, and said with a smile: "The Cining Palace of the Mourning Family has been deserted for more than 20 years, and now, it will be lively and lively." lest they think that this bad old woman of the mourning family only knows to wait for death. ”
Emperor Hong Zheng remembered the iron and bloody skills of the Empress Dowager Zhong back then, and the unrelenting nostalgia for returning power later, and he was even more grateful.
immediately smiled: "The Queen Mother is serious." The juniors are restless, and the Queen Mother just teaches, which is their blessing. ”
Empress Dowager Zhong did not answer Emperor Hong Zheng's words, but said to Gu Tingzhang: "Mrs. Gu, we are all old, we can't protect our children, and people are bullied in the face." You can rest assured, the mourning family will definitely give Mingzhu justice this time. The daughter of the Gu family is also the granddaughter of the mourning family, the mourning family is not dead, she can protect it! ”
Gu Tingzhang hurriedly arched his hand and said: "The queen mother is serious, and the old minister doesn't dare." It's just that Dian Er only left this drop of blood, how can the old minister protect her, so that she is worthy of Dian Er under Jiuquan. ”
Empress Dowager Zhong and Gu Tingzhang sang and harmonized like this, and Emperor Hong Zheng could only laugh and laugh beside him.
I scolded the troublemaker countless times in my heart, and there are still so many twists and turns in the imperial study waiting for my approval, and I have to come here to be ridiculed.
However, Emperor Hong Zheng is still a little curious in his heart, what happened today to let the Queen Mother and the Taifu ask for justice with such fanfare?
Empress Dowager Zhong and Gu Tingzhang had a very happy conversation, and waited for Dongchun to come in and report: "Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, the Queen Mother and Concubine Xian are here." ”
Empress Dowager Zhong seemed to have just remembered, and reprimanded: "Something that has no eyes, don't serve tea to the emperor and Mrs. Gu!" The emperor wanted Longjing, and Mrs. Gu went to the big red robe. ”
