020 The courtiers take the order
"Who invited the eldest lady into the palace?" Ye Shi nervous.
Mama Qi lowered her eyes and said, "It is said that it is the queen mother of the West Palace."
"What is the matter?"
"No. But the old slave was polite when he saw the other party. There should be nothing wrong with that."
Shangguan Erya also reassured: "Mother, don't worry. The Empress Dowager of the West Palace also invited me to the palace in private. You probably want to talk to me."
"That's right." Ye sighed. That's good. But after all, she is the queen mother in the palace. The situation in the palace is complicated. You still have to be careful."
Ye Shi is mentioning that Shangguan Erya should pay attention when speaking. Maybe it will make those masters unhappy.
How could Shangguan Erya not know this truth. She was in no hurry to enter the palace. I sent it first and went back to the room, so I left with Qingwei.
Back to the front of the Buddha Hall. Ye pious bows.
O Buddha. Please bless my daughter with good luck. I wish to always be accompanied by the ancient Buddha of the green light in this life.
Leave the Lord's Mansion. Get into the carriage. Shangguan Erya's expression was different.
The Empress Dowager of the West Palace suddenly invited her into the palace. I found someone and came to the county lord's mansion. It should be a hurry.
Qingwei was also puzzled: "Miss. The prince is resting today. Do you want to give him a word back?"
"No, you don't. Since the Empress Dowager of the West Palace came to the county lord's mansion. Father must have known."
"That'...... Do you want to tell His Royal Highness King Jane?" Qingwei is not self-asserted. I really think it's a little weird.
The last time the eldest lady was invited to the palace, she received an edict to choose an auspicious day for the emperor to ascend the throne. Suddenly shouted into the palace today, maybe something happened again.
Otherwise, how can there be a reason for the master of the harem not to tell someone in advance.
In such a hurry. The eldest lady didn't change into more decent clothes.
Shangguan Erya obviously didn't care about any of this. She smiled lightly. You just don't tell him. He'll know too. Don't worry too much. I can't get through any of the difficulties, young lady."
Qingwei didn't say anything.
Entered the palace. Shangguan Erya was taken by the palace people to the Jiuhua Hall of the Queen Mother's dormitory.
"The Queen Mother. The lord of Erya has arrived."
The palace people finished the report. Shangguan Erya at the door heard the familiar voice and smiled, "Come on."
Shangguan Erya lowered his eyes and entered the house. Kneel in the temple." The Queen Mother is a thousand years old."
She looked up slightly and saw a few other people. He continued indifferently: "The queen is healthy. And the concubine Niangniang auspicious. Say hello to the concubine."
"Oops. Look at the small mouth is to be able to speak. Every master is different." Empress Dowager Chen laughed.
Empress Dowager Chen said so. The others couldn't be too embarrassed by Shangguan Erya. They all chimed in." Oh, yes. The news of the wives has spread. The lord of Erya is very compatible with them. And the ladies liked it. If I hadn't let her in as a daughter-in-law."
"That's not going to work. This girl is not worthy of everyone." Empress Dowager Chen said with a smile.
Concubine Li hurriedly said: "Does the Queen Mother want to protect the matchmaker for the county lord of Erya. If you are married. She's the glory of her ancestors."
The people of the temple, you say a word to me. It seems that they have forgotten that Shangguan Erya is still kneeling.
Shangguan Erya didn't have a trace of anything strange on his face. Even if she heard that Empress Dowager Chen wanted to protect her, she didn't care.
They were just laughing.
Empress Dowager Chen won't give her this lift. Shangguan Erya knows this in her own heart.
Laughed for a while. Empress Dowager Chen seemed to have just remembered. Hurriedly said: "Why didn't you let the county lord of Erya get up. We only care about talking. Hurry up and show the Lord of Erya a seat."
"Thank you for the grace of the Queen Mother." Shangguan Erya said indifferently.
She got up and sat down at the bottom of her head. Empress Dowager Chen squinted over. looked at Shangguan Erya carefully.
Empress Dowager Chen has only seen Shangguan Erya three times in her impression. Not what it looked like when I was a kid. It is the most different Shangguan Erya today.
Sure enough, it was a man who relied on clothes and horses and saddles. Obviously, everyone has changed into spring clothes. But when worn on Shangguan Erya, it is a little more beautiful.
Her clothes seem to be a little different.
Seeing that Empress Dowager Chen kept looking at Shangguan Erya. Everyone followed her gaze and looked at her.
The first to notice the difference was Hefei. She smiled, "Lord Erya is wearing the most popular style in Kyoto today. But what made her different from the others was the ornament embroidered with two rubies on her collar. It's a really special design."
I don't know if the concubine is appreciative or sarcastic.
The queen on the opposite side said lukewarmly: "Sister Hefei's eyes are so sharp. Such small details are noticed. I think it's pretty average."
Although the queen dismantled and concubine's platform. Don't forget to step on Guan Erya's feet.
After all, before the palace banquet. Shangguan Erya made a fool of the eldest prince. But Concubine He didn't hate Shangguan Erya. It's just that in front of Empress Dowager Chen, she can't be so obvious.
The hostility between the two of them, Shangguan Erya, naturally saw it clearly. The-for-tat confrontation between the queen and the concubine was expected by her. It's just that he didn't target Concubine Li at the same time, which is a bit surprising.
Empress Dowager Chen was obviously surprised by their attitude. He said indifferently: "You are also the lords of the palaces. How can there be a dispute over such a trivial matter? Is it worth it?"
The point is that Shangguan Erya is not worthy of this.
The queen smiled: "What the queen mother said. It's too much fuss with the concubine's sister. Embroidered ornaments on the collar are a common occurrence in Kyoto. A few days ago, the niece of the concubine came to the palace to play. It's on the collar."
"Huh." He Fei laughed twice.
"Alright. Let's get down to business." Empress Dowager Chen glared at the queen and concubine respectively. Only then did he say to Shangguan Erya: "The mourning family called you today. There's something I want to ask you for."
Shangguan Erya immediately showed a look of panic and got up and knelt down again. The Queen Mother is serious. It is the honor of the courtiers to do things for the Queen Mother. Please ask the Queen Mother to tell me."
Empress Dowager Chen looked at Shangguan Erya's expression with some amusement. She doesn't think the other party is honestly afraid. On the contrary, in her opinion, Shangguan Erya is very arrogant.
"Huh." Empress Dowager Chen smiled coldly. Don't be too nervous. But after thinking about this matter, the mourning family can only help. You may not know that although Kyoto has already entered spring. But sowing has already begun in the south. But there has been no rain or snow since last winter......"
Shangguan Erya lowered his head and listened. There was no expression on his face.
"It was rumored that you would watch the sky. The mourners didn't think it could be trusted. But the auspicious day you chose for the emperor's accession to the throne shows that you really have that ability."
Concubine Li immediately followed Empress Dowager Chen's words and said, "It's not. It was still snowing a moment ago. But when the salute roared. The sky will clear."
She looked at Shangguan Erya with a smile. Lord Erya is really a strange woman."
Empress Dowager Chen said again: "So I called you here today to ask you to ask for rain for our people in Nanliang."
Shangguan Erya was silent. A few strange things flashed in his eyes." The Queen Mother. Courtiers are able to see celestial phenomena. But I didn't dare to take credit. The emperor is the true son of heaven and will shock the heavens and the earth when he ascends the throne. It's not the work of the courtiers."
Empress Dowager Chen carefully looked at Shangguan Erya's every expression. Although the other party covered it up very well. But she still caught the panic in Shangguan Erya's eyes.
After all, I'm still young.
Young is good. It can also be a**.
Empress Dowager Chen smiled coldly in her heart. But he said lightly: "Oh. But it's well known. That's the day you choose. How can I say that it has nothing to do with you. Don't just excuse yourself."
"The courtiers are still young. All the skills are in your eyes. Where do you dare to show cowardice again? The courtiers thought that there were powerful people in the Qin Heavenly Prison. They're the ones who have the real skills. This time they will be more competent than the courtiers."
Empress Dowager Chen didn't wait to speak. Concubine Li snorted. The Queen Mother. Lord Erya, this is disrespectful to the decree."
The queen glanced at her. I also guessed that today's idea must be the Empress Dowager Chen instigated by Concubine Li.
I didn't count what happened last time with her. Now it's back in the limelight.
But she also dislikes Shangguan Erya very much. If it can make the queen mother happy. You can slap Concubine Li in the face again, that's the best.
The queen thought for a moment. He also spoke: "Yes. Lord of Erya. It's a loss, just now Concubine Li praised you vigorously. She's very optimistic about you. Wouldn't you be a slap in the face to Concubine Li if you refused like this?"
Concubine Li did not dare to clash with the queen head-on in front of Empress Dowager Chen. I can only swallow my anger and not speak.
Who let Shangguan Erya put himself together. Not only offended the queen. also made Concubine He very dissatisfied with herself.
That's why she has to lean closer to the big tree of Empress Dowager Chen.
Concubine Li knew that Empress Dowager Chen didn't like Shangguan Erya. Therefore, he came up with an idea to make Shangguan Erya completely lose his reputation.
and Concubine saw the queen-for-tat against Concubine Li. She agrees with that. I am also happy to fall into the well for Shangguan Erya.
As long as Shangguan Erya begs for rain, it can't be done. That is the sin of deceit. When the time comes, Cangzi will be completely dead.
"Lord Erya. The Queen Mother said so, and you still refused." Concubine He said: "Or do you not care about the dawn people of Nanliang at all."
"The courtiers don't dare." Shangguan Erya hung his head." It's just that this prayer for rain is not just a matter of asking for it. If it rains. You need to look carefully at the sky to determine when it will rain."
Empress Dowager Chen, looking at them, your words made Shangguan Erya break out in a cold sweat. He smiled kindly, "Don't scare her."
She personally got up and walked in front of Shangguan Erya. Then he said, "Erya. The mourning family didn't really ask you to do any ritual to ask for rain. Instead, it allows you to watch the sky and see which day it will rain. And then announce it to the world. It can also be regarded as praying for the blessing of the world. This matter is not something that the mourning family can decide alone. This is also what the emperor meant. As Concubine He said. For the dawn of the people. Just give it a try. If it doesn't work for rain. The mourning family and the emperor won't blame you."
Concubine Li sneered in her heart. There will be no order to blame. But it can stink Shangguan Erya's reputation. When the time comes, Shangguan Erya will be ridiculed by the world as before.
In the past, she and her sister could make Shangguan Erya lose her reputation. Now you can do it again.
Shangguan Erya was assured. It's like a sigh of relief." Courtiers...... Pick up the order."
Seeing this, the corners of Empress Dowager Chen's mouth slowly hooked up a touch of arc. In fact, Concubine Li's mind is exactly what she thinks.
On the same day, she gave Shangguan Erya a chance. But this girl doesn't cherish it. Then she can save her. Now it can save her from disaster.
