Chapter 205: Palliation and Adultery
But the reason why all the concubines cast envious eyes without leaking is nothing more than because this agate pearl bracelet symbolizes the highest favor of the Queen Mother.
It stands to reason that this chain should be handed over to the emperor's wife, that is, the master of Weiyang Palace.
But the queen married into the palace, at least nearly five years, the queen mother never gave her the chain, and now she was beaten into the cold palace, but she gave the bracelet to Gao Weihu.
Although it was announced on the surface, as long as it was the people in the palace, they all knew what the Queen Mother meant, and it was nothing more than wanting to help Gao Weihu live in Weiyang Palace.
Sure enough, it is a scheming and vicious woman who can quietly put herself in an unkind and unrighteous place, but Gao Weihu must protect himself, and he must not stand and be beaten.
"Lord Gao Weihu, the Queen Mother gave you such a valuable gift, you should be very grateful, this is good, I want to return the gift, is this not in my eyes?"
Mama Cui reprimanded on the side, the Queen Mother never easily accuses others, especially in front of Beitang Jinyu, she always has to pretend to be kind.
But in Gao Weihu's eyes, it is just a layer of hypocrisy, the more empathetic it is, the more disgusting it is, but for the sake of the overall situation, you must not leak your sincerity.
"What Mama Cui said is very true, Gao Weihu doesn't dare to ruin the mother's kindness, but Gao Weihu really can't afford such a heavy gift!"
Gao Weihu said as he held the brocade box with both hands, walked quickly to the Queen Mother, knelt on his knees, and lifted the box above his head.
"Queen Mother, please take back this gift, Gao Weihu is just the daughter of an anti-king, she is not worthy of this thing, and she can't be the emperor's woman, even if she accepts it, it is not justified."
She said it clearly enough, Gao Weihu has never shied away from the fact that she is the daughter of the anti-king, and if others mention it, they will just laugh it off.
But that doesn't prove that Gao Weihu has admitted her father's rebellion, and the reason why she is so calm is that she thinks that sooner or later, she will wash away the grievances of Gao Wangfu.
And the real culprit will definitely get retribution! It will never be recovered!
The Queen Mother stood up from the main seat, walked slowly in front of Gao Haohu, helped the person up with both hands, and said softly, "The mourning family has promised you the identity of the county lord, although you came out of the Gao Mansion, but now, you are no longer the county lord of the palace, but the county lord of the palace, who dares to say that you are not a word?" That's the way to get along with the mourning family! ”
The Queen Mother said in front of the concubines, it was enough to give Gao Weihu face, but after all, she couldn't resist the jealousy brought by the string of bracelets, but it was just a slap and a sweet date.
It's just that the Queen Mother has already said this, and Gao Weihu can't continue to care, so she calmly puts the brocade box in the cuffs.
"Queen Mother, since you insist on giving this bracelet to Gao Wei Lake, Gao Wei Lake will temporarily help you keep it, when you want to get it back, you can inform Gao Wei Lake at any time, and Gao Wei Lake will send it to you."
"Okay."
An imperceptible light flashed in the Queen Mother's eyes, and she really admired Gao Weihu's cleverness.
She knows how to protect herself, and puts her words in front, just like this bracelet, if she hands it over to others, she will be ecstatic to the point of pride and complacency, but Gao Weihu is different from others.
When he accepted the bracelet, it was the day when he was the enemy of the concubines, and Gao Weihu was afraid that he would suffer from the enemy on his back, so he only said that he kept it temporarily, not for himself.
In this way, although the ladies of the palace will still be jealous, they will not be too embarrassed by Gao Weihu, after all, it is the queen's position, and it has never been borrowed, so there is no need to worry too much.
"Queen Mother, it's not too early, this Lianzi is right, everything that should be said has been said, can you set off and go back to the palace?"
The Queen Mother looked at the sky outside, it was already past noon, so she nodded happily, "Let's go, go back to the palace early, the mourning family can rest early, this whole day, it is tired of the mourning family." ”
"Yes."
Beitang Jinyu responded, and directly changed the Royal Forest Army to prepare to leave, and the other concubines left after the Queen Mother got into the carriage.
The mighty royal carriage and horse brigade crossed the desert capital until it stopped at Qinghe Gate, and when it arrived, the carriages were forbidden to enter and exit, and all the people had to change sedan chairs.
There are so many rules in the desert, especially in the palace, almost everything you do must be carefully weighed in your heart, so as not to make a mistake, and it will be a catastrophe.
After traveling for nearly half an hour, they entered the palace, and the sedan chairs of the ladies were spread out and each went back to their respective bedrooms.
When Gao Weihu returned to Jinlin Palace, he saw Mama Zhang and Qinghe waiting outside the hall from a distance.
Xiaoqing helped Gao Weihu get down from the sedan chair and walked to the gate of Jinlin Palace, since the fire in Yongming Palace, the three of them have not seen each other for several days.
"Miss, you're finally back, Qinghe wants you to death."
Qinghe had red eyes, looking at Gao Weihu standing in front of him, he had been by the side of Miss since he was a child, almost inseparable, and he rarely separated for so long.
Now, if she thinks of the deserted Jinlin Hall a few days ago, she feels sad for a while, and she really wants to follow Gaowei Lake all the time to make herself feel at ease.
"Oops...... Gao Weihu wiped away the tears hanging from the corners of Qinghe's eyes, and said jokingly, "How old are these people?" It's only been a few days since they were separated, and they cried like this? ”
"Miss, Qinghe is such a character, you don't know it."
Mama Zhang stepped forward from the side, tugged Qinghe's cuffs hard, and said to Gao Weihu again, "Miss, in the past few days of your absence, the emperor will come here from time to time to sit down, and ordered the Internal Affairs Office to send a lot of gold and silver jewelry, and even the brocade that makes clothes on weekdays has been piled up with more than a dozen. ”
The women in this palace, in addition to receiving monthly silver from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, have to rely on the treasures rewarded by the Queen Mother and the Emperor.
Moreover, if they want to show off, in addition to their own, they are the gold and silver treasures in the warehouse, and as long as they get it, they can't wait to shout until everyone knows about it.
But Gaowei Lake is different, and it has always been reluctant to compare with others, let alone ......
"There are two boxes of gold bars in total, and they must be put away, and this is all our family wealth."
Gao Weihu took the small wooden box from Xiaoqing's hand, handed it directly to Qinghe, and said to Mama Zhang, "Mama, I haven't been able to eat the plum cabbage and button meat you made in the palace recently, and I'm finally back, and I want to eat a whole big pot for dinner, don't forget to do it." ”
But......
"Xiaoqing is trustworthy, this point, the county lord dares to pack a ticket, you just have to take care of it like your own sister."
Although Qinghe was still a little confused, he finally nodded and agreed, "Okay, since the young lady has said so, the slave and maid are not good at talking, and they will take good care of Xiaoqing's sister." ”
"Hmm."
After getting Qinghe's affirmation, Gao Weihu nodded with satisfaction, and then went directly sideways into the Jinlin Palace, leaving only the two girls outside.
She still trusts Qinghe's character, after all, she has been by her side for so many years, and her words and deeds are all taught by Gao Weihu, and she will not be bad, let alone bully newcomers.
Therefore, Gao Weihu handed over Xiaoqing to Qinghe, and he was able to rest with confidence, and he was really tired after a short day.
In this room, the Jinlin Palace is surrounded by the fragrance of plum vegetables and meat, and the palace maids and eunuchs in the front yard and the backyard are doing things lightly, for fear of waking up Gao Weihu who is resting on the couch.
As the sun sets, the smoke curls up, but it is really a peaceful scene.
On the other side, in the Qianqing Palace of Beitang Jinyu, it was a different scene, only to see a young man in a yellow coat, kneeling in front of him, holding a fold in both hands, begging bitterly.
"Your Majesty, my father let Yuan Da enter the palace because he wanted to find a way out for his sister, and asked the emperor to read the love between husband and wife for many years, don't believe the evil words of the daughter of the anti-king!"
Yuan Da's sincere words sounded sincere, but when he entered the ears of Beitang Jinyu, he immediately changed his taste.
The Yuan family has always relied on their power in the court, and they don't take the emperor in their eyes at all, this time, the Taifu did not personally enter the palace to intercede for the queen, but sent his son to come, obviously not to give Beitang Jinyu face.
Such naked arrogance made Beitang Jinyu very annoyed, and his face became iron-blue, and he threw a pile of music on the table in front of Yuan Da.
"Take a good look at yourself, and go back and talk to your father, I don't know how many ministers in the previous dynasty have been impeaching the queen for her immorality all day long, impeaching your father for being incompetent, if I hadn't been carrying it for your Yuan family, I'm afraid I would have lost my head one by one!"
The Yuan family is the patriarch of the three dynasties of the desert, and the reason why Beitang Jinyu allowed Taifu to do mischief in the previous dynasty was nothing more than because he assisted him to ascend the throne at the beginning, so he left a feeling.
even married the daughter of this old guy, but he never expected that the people of the Yuan family not only did not restrain themselves at all, but became more and more arrogant, and they must no longer tolerate adultery.
"The emperor is angry! Your Majesty, the excerpts of these ministers are nothing more than nonsense, they are only because they are jealous of the Yuan family's favor from you, so they joined forces to frame them! ”
"Humph!"
Beitang Jinyu snorted coldly, and then sat back on the dragon chair behind the desk, his palm on the table, and tapped it for a while.
Looking at Yuan Da, who was becoming more and more flustered, he was silent for a moment before continuing, "Okay, since you said that these people who folded bullets to impeach your Yuan family have ulterior motives, then please talk about the queen, in front of the nobles in the capital, such nonsense, almost killed the lord of Gaohaohu, such a queen, what is the use of me keeping?" ”
"Your Majesty, although the night lyre passed through my sister's hand, it was sent back to King Gao's Mansion for sealing within a few days, and it was never taken out again! How could he poison the county lord of Gao Weihu? ”
