Chapter 7 Silence is a cat

Quiet like a rabbit, tiptoeing forward along the base of the wall. Because it was cold, the two eunuchs on duty dozed off against the leeward side of the door. I didn't notice a small figure flashing in. Yaoqin was anxious under the eaves of the corridor, in a dilemma.

Quietly slipped into the front hall and stood still by a small hidden door. I heard a loud and low noise inside. She crouched down and poked out half of her face to look out. After finishing it, I saw Yan Zhao sitting on the tall dragon chair, and there were many people in big robes and broad clothes standing on both sides of the hall.

Next to his dragon case, there was an old man with a little gray hair. The old man was spitting at the stars and shouting, "The current Northern Liao is not what it used to be!" Tuoba Xu is young and strong, and he governs the country well. If he wants to crusade against us, if we don't do it, we will ruin the country and the family, so peace is the best policy! ”

"May I ask the master, do you still want to marry another daughter?" A young military attache standing at the front asked in a sarcastic tone.

The old man's face was red and white. "Wan Yanlie, don't rely on the fact that you are a member of the royal family and the governor of the five armies, I can't do anything to you!"

"The Taishi is mighty, and he kills people without blinking. The last general is afraid! The young man said in a strange way. The old man trembled angrily.

"Okay, Uncle Thirteen, don't quarrel with the Taishi anymore. What's the point of arguing about that? Wan Yan Zhao began to play round.

"Your Majesty, which princess do you think is suitable to marry Northern Liao?" Taishi Lan Yuanzhen asked. Wan Yan Zhao thought for a while, "Then the only way to let the county lord of Wuxin Junfu get married!" Trouble the master to bring a message! ”

Lan Yuanzhen hesitated for a moment and gritted her teeth, "Okay, I'll go to Wu Xinjun's Luoyang City tomorrow!" "There's Master Lao!" Wan Yan Zhao arched his hand.

"I still have something to do, old minister." The old man had a gloomy face: "When will the emperor canonize my daughter as the queen?" The current Queen Dou has no virtue and no heirs! ”

"Taishi, this is a bit wide!" Wan Yanzhao said with a smile. "I am an auxiliary minister appointed by the emperor, and I must think about the society!" The old man grabbed Wan Yanzhao's hand and clenched it tightly. Wan Yanzhao's face became ugly.

was quiet outside the small door, and when he saw that Yan Zhao was being bullied, he immediately became angry.

She pulled out a slingshot from her bosom and took out two more pearls. Aiming at the old man's head is to flick it hard, and the hat flies. The old man sat on the ground. There was also an extra red spot on his face. Grinning in pain.

The ministers of the palace were so confused that they didn't know what was going on. Wan Yan Zhao hurriedly called the warrior in front of the palace and carried the Taishi to the Tai Hospital. "Haha, hit!" Quiet forgot for a moment, and actually laughed out loud. "Who?" Several guards burst through the small door and pulled the silence out.

"Don't do it! I'll go! When the guards saw that it was an imperial concubine, they were so frightened that they all knelt down at the foot of the steps. Wan Yan Zhao waved them down. Quiet sat on the footboard, leaning against his legs.

"I'm tired of squatting over there! Wan Yan Zhao, why don't you go home yet? I've been waiting for you for a long time! ”

Wan Yan Zhao saw that it was this demon king of the mixed world, and hurriedly whispered, "Sit down obediently, don't talk!" A lot of uncles and uncles are watching you! Silence stuck out his tongue and was silent.

Wan Yan Zhao cleared his throat and said to the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, "This is the newly canonized Lady of Yue Guo of Shangyang Palace, the same as the noble concubine." Ladies and gentlemen, let's see each other! The ministers lined up and knelt down, "The concubine is a thousand years old, the concubine is auspicious!" "Wan Yan Zhao, what am I going to say!"

She hugged his knee nervously.

"You just say, everyone Aiqing is exempt from courtesy!" Wan Yan Zhao taught her in a low voice. She turned sideways, "Everyone, Aiqing, don't be polite!" "Xie Guifei!" The ministers got up and went back to their shifts to stand.

One by one, the ministers went out to work. Quietly lay on Wan Yanzhao's lap and fell asleep in a daze.

The ministers looked strange and funny. Wan Yanlie tugged on the prime minister's sleeve and whispered, "This is the cat concubine!" The prime minister looked at him puzzled, "What do you mean?" ”

"How is this woman different from a flower cat? Although it is noisy, can you sleep calmly? Although it is reckless, it is not boring! Odd woman too! Wan Yanlie teased.

"Lord Wang, please respect yourself!" The prime minister whispered a warning of dissatisfaction.

"If the prime minister doesn't believe it, look at the imperial history over there. If it were the queen, the old man would have jumped three feet earlier and moved out a bunch of ancestral systems to talk about things. Look at his face today. It was obvious that Tian Sheweng saw his granddaughter's expression! Wan Yanlie said, pointing to the imperial history opposite.

The prime minister turned his head and looked. Surprised, the old Yushi had tears in his eyes and nodded with a smile. "Odd!" He sighed to himself. Wan Yan Zhao watched a few people whispering, but made a silent gesture. Then he waved his hand and told the ministers to retreat home. Everyone saluted together and quietly withdrew from the hall.

Quiet: Suddenly, I felt like there was no sound around me. When I opened my eyes, I looked up and saw Wan Yan Zhao looking at her with a smile. "Concubine, a hall will be broken up by your two beads, amazing!" "Wan Yan Zhao, I'm sorry. I just saw that old man dare to bully you, so I hit him! "Quietly aggrieved." Needless to say, I'm sorry, he's crazy, he should have a lesson! Wan Yanzhao gritted his teeth and said.

"It's time for dinner, it's getting dark!" Quietly looked outside, it was already dark at night.

"Okay, I'll eat you first, and then I'll have dinner!" Wan Yan Zhao picked her up and walked quickly to the harem.

"Why did Sister Lan's father do that to you?" Quiet head leaned on Wan Yanzhao's chest and asked.

Wan Yanzhao said: "He wants me to abolish Dou Hou and set up his daughter as the queen instead." But if I want to do that, Dou Haiqing of Luoyang will unite with Northern Liao against me. The common people will suffer. "How bad it is to fight!" They can't discuss it, let Sister Dou let Sister Lan do it for a few days, can't it? Wan Yan Zhao smiled, "You think it's a playhouse!" ”

"Dou Haiqing is an old minister of the two dynasties, who followed the emperor to fight in the south and the north, and has made many military exploits. Now it is a party of princes, ambitious. But the Taishi was an important minister of the former dynasty, and he was my teacher when I was the prince. Between the two of them, they have been fighting openly and secretly for decades, and no one is convinced by anyone! Many ministers in the Asari also swayed left and right among them. Wan Yanzhao said with a frown.

"I think that young general is not afraid of Sister Lan's father, what's going on?" Quiet thought about it and asked.

Wan Yan Zhao hugged the silence and sighed lightly, "He is my cousin, my grandfather's thirteenth son. I lost my parents when I was a child, and I grew up next to my father. At the age of sixteen, he was named a partial general and led troops to fight at the border pass. Now in the Asari, I am left with him as the most reliable person. In the future, if I'm gone, you can turn to him for help! Quiet covered his mouth, "You are not allowed to say this, you have to protect me for the rest of your life!" ”

Wan Yan Zhao hugged her tightly, "I promise you!" ”

The first rays of sunlight in the morning shine through the windows of Shangyang Palace. When Jing Jing opened his eyes, he saw Hyun Jin sitting on the edge of the bed. "Good morning, Auntie!"

Xuan Zhen touched her head, "Jing'er, I'm here to say goodbye to you." I'm going to Jungnan Mountain soon! Quiet took her hand and pleaded, "Auntie, can't you not go?" ”

Hyun Zhen smiled and said, "We met by fate. But there is no feast in the world that will not be dissolved. If there is still fate, maybe we can meet again! My advice to you is: Don't be gullible to others. Don't take others lightly for big things! ”

Quiet and seeing that I really can't keep Xuanzhen. I can only send it all the way to the noon gate and say goodbye with tears.

Yaoqin was next to Quiet, and asked a little puzzled, "Why does the female Taoist teach Mrs. a little bit?" Quietly looked at her: "My aunt has taught me a lot, enough for me to experience a lot of time!" ”

An attendant came to report, "Concubine Hui of Anqing Palace is waiting for Mrs. to receive you!" Jing Jing said to Yaoqin, "Let's go back quickly, after listening to Yan Zhao say, his wife has a very strong temper!" I'm afraid she should punish me for kneeling again! Yaoqin said, "You don't have to be afraid this time, I guarantee that she is even more enthusiastic than Concubine Lan!" "Really?" Quietly will go back suspiciously.

Concubine Hui Jin Xiu was waiting at the gate of the dormitory behind Shangyang Palace. Seeing that the silence was coming, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "Concubine Jin Xiu, meet Mrs. Yue Guo!" Quietly clasped his hands together, "Sister, there is no need for such a big gift!" Please sit inside. ”

The two walked hand in hand and walked into the dormitory.

Concubine Hui is thirty years old, and her figure is taller than ordinary women. The appearance is very delicate, and it looks like he is about twenty years old. There was a hint of arrogance between his eyebrows.

Concubine Hui said, "I heard from the palace maids and eunuchs that a while ago, my sister was sick. Can it be healed now? Jing Jing smiled: "A little illness, it's all cured." Sister Xie was worried. Concubine Hui ordered the chamberlain to offer a box of ginseng, "This is what I brought back from visiting relatives in Northern Liao, I hope my sister will smile!" ”

Quietly said: "I accepted my sister's gift, and I didn't have any gift in return?" Concubine Hui waved her hand and said, "There is no need to return the gift, our sisters will be as close as possible in the future!" Quiet nodded.

Concubine Hui asked, "Has the queen been here in the past few days?" Quiet shook her head, "No." We haven't seen each other since the last time we had a bit of an unpleasantness! ”

Concubine Hui leaned closer and said softly, "Maybe she went back to Luoyang to visit her father!" "That's good!" Filial piety to parents is what children should do. ”

"Sister! You're so kind. I'm telling you, her father is a fake! Concubine Hui whispered in a quiet ear. Quietly, his body shook slightly. "Sister, what do you mean by that?"

Concubine Hui slowed down and said, "I heard that the prince is the queen's father-in-law. But her stepfather is very strange! Dou Haiqing turned out to be a lieutenant general under the former emperor. I don't know when he became the father of the crown princess at that time. Became a prince overnight! ”

She took a sip of fragrant tea and continued like a story: "Since she came to this imperial city, Dou Haiqing has not come to the imperial city again, and every year she sends someone to bring something over. also tried every means to squeeze out the officials of the imperial court! The queen went very diligently. Once I went, it took a month or two to return to the palace! ”

At this time, Concubine Hui said, "These words are from my mouth to your ears, and you can't let a third person know." Quietly nodded, skeptical.

I pulled on the usual short gossip for a while. Concubine Hui said goodbye and went back. Sit quietly in a daze.
