Since Empress Dowager Zhang was named the Empress Dowager, she has been accustomed to the flattery and catering around her ears, and she has long forgotten the days when she was trembling and frightened during the first emperor's period, she was not dissatisfied with Empress Shen originally, and she was even treated softly before Emperor Hongfu ascended the throne, but now it is not as good as in the past, since she entered the Shoukang Palace and became a woman with the highest status in the inner court, she is very picky about Empress Shen's origin and behavior, and others generally think that the Yuguo Mansion is completely ineffective but just takes advantage of the scenery in vain, and Empress Shen is still close to Cining Palace, Serving Cining Palace is above Shoukang Palace, and Empress Dowager Zhang feels that Queen Shen's daughter-in-law is an eyesore when she looks at it horizontally and vertically.

Therefore, for the "tool" used by the two sisters of Empress Shen to win over the grandson of the Taishi Mansion, the Empress Dowager Zhang naturally did not want to see her, not to mention that the Empress Dowager's attitude towards the spring return was still so close and kind, and the Empress Dowager Zhang felt that she had no reason to give Chungui face again.

At this time, she suddenly saw Chun Gui get up and walk a few steps to her side, her eyes suddenly became stern, ready to say that once Chun Gui had half a word of disrespect, she would reprimand Zhao Lanting in public, and then the eldest grandson of Taishi Mansion, and then Sanyuan and the first? However, he is a courtier, and he is still a courtier who has repeatedly opposed the grandson and the Song State Mansion, in the eyes of the Empress Dowager Zhang, there is no need to entrap the envelope, not to mention Zhao Lanting's wife, who does not even have a courtier.

The return of spring was only two steps closer, and she performed a blessing salute, and her voice was extremely peaceful: "If you return to the mother of Shoukang Palace, Mrs. Ji is loyal and respectful to the first emperor, and she has never rebelled and held a grudge. ”

Just listened to one person: "Gu Niangzi is accusing the Queen Mother of wronging Mrs. Ji?" ”

Chungui didn't look up, but she had just secretly observed the female relatives sitting around the Empress Dowager Zhang from the corner of her eyes, in addition to the Duchess of Cao Guo and her daughter-in-law, there was also a woman in palace clothes who had been waiting for her nearby, about the same age as Concubine Zheng Guifei, but the dress was obviously not as good as Xie Zhaoyi's grade, but Princess Qi was sitting next to her, and Chungui guessed that this should be King Qi's biological mother, Wan Xuan.

Listening to the source of the sound at this time, Chun Gui judged that it was this person who fell into the well.

She sighed secretly and quickly knelt on the ground: "How dare the concubine accuse Niangniang?" It's just that I heard that the mother seemed to have some misunderstanding of Mrs. Ji, and the concubine had not yet repaid the kindness of Mrs. Ji's protection, how could she ignore Mrs. Ji's mistake and the crime of disobedience and disrespect? Fang Cai had the courage to defend Mrs. Ji, and hoped that the Empress Dowager of Shoukang Palace would not listen to slander and misunderstand Mrs. Ji's rebellion and disobedience to the emperor. ”

Empress Shen obviously didn't expect Chungui to be so bold, and she couldn't help but complain a little about her in her heart: who didn't know that Mrs. Ji had a lot of resentment against the first emperor because of the disaster of her husband's beheading, so she rejected the grace of the first emperor to allow her to remarry and personally choose a marriage for her, and was willing to stay in Fenyang to replace the widow of the minister, and the Empress Dowager Zhang just said casually, no one will hold Mrs. Ji accountable, and she can fight against this matter?

However, the enmity between Empress Shen and Wan Xuanzhi is also as deep as the sea, and she can still weigh the distance between relatives and relatives in this situation, not to mention the look of the Queen Mother at this time, and even with a smile in her eyes, she seems to be very satisfied with the righteousness of Chungui.

He also got up and took two steps forward, and said to the Empress Dowager Zhang with a smile: "Don't blame this child for being reckless, when their mother and daughter were cornered that day, it was indeed a lot of shelter for Mrs. Ji, and she didn't have a major event at this age, and she didn't know that Niangniang was not blaming Mrs. Ji, but when I heard Mrs. Ji, I was afraid that she would have to bear the responsibility of being disobedient and disrespectful."

, the heart panicked, the mother saw that she still knew the idea of the good idea, so forgive the impulsive faux pas. ”

He glanced over at Wan Xuan's side: "Usually you love to play with right and wrong around your mother, today is the birthday of the queen mother, if you provoke trouble in public and disturb the joy of the queen mother's birthday, don't blame me for not thinking that you have also been in the palace for many years, and you will be severely punished." ”

Wan Xuan's servant was reprimanded by the queen in public, and her depression rose so much that she burned her mind, and she didn't care that she had never slandered Mrs. Ji, so she acquiesced in this mistake, and only argued: "The queen is the lord of the six palaces, of course, she has the right to punish the concubine, but the concubine who is accused of slander and framing does not dare to be a concubine, and she must ask the queen to teach her, if Mrs. Ji has never had a grudge against the first emperor, why dare to resist the decree, not to choose a good person to marry from the grace of the first emperor, but to observe the festival for the great rebellion?" ”

These words actually made the queen embarrassed, but she looked at Wan Xuan angrily, and it was difficult to refute.

Chungui said again: "The concubine has heard Mrs. Ji talk about this old matter, and I hope that the queen will allow the concubine to declare it on her behalf." ”

The queen took a deep breath: "You say." ”

Chun Guicai replied: "Mrs. Ji has been personally taught by the Empress Dowager since she was a child, and she is well aware of internal training, how dare she forget that 'if there is misfortune in the middle of the road, you will be determined to serve for three years'?" Even though the Sun family was punished, and Mrs. Ji was pardoned and not punished, since she was married to the wife of the Sun family, she could not violate the internal training of the daughter and violate the teachings of the Empress Dowager, and then she survived as a grandson, and she repented and confessed on behalf of her courtiers, and she did not dare to make the first emperor suffer unfair slander because of the love of her brothers and sisters. ”

This reason was so lofty that even the first emperor couldn't refute it at that time, so he had to obey Mrs. Ji's request to voluntarily observe the festival.

Chun Gui said: "And if the first emperor didn't know Mrs. Ji's loyalty, how could he allow Mrs. Ji to invite and give the memorial arch to commend Mrs. Ji's martyrdom, Mrs. Ji has no resentment and disrespect, and I hope that the queen mother and queen mother of the two palaces will be aware of it." ”

Empress Shen's eyes lit up, and she glared at Wan Xuanshi: "What else do you have to say?" ”

Princess Qi couldn't sit still, she had an idea, and knelt down without saying a word to express her guilt.

This action reminded Wan Xuan of the waiter, and she also knelt down.

It looks like there are people kneeling in the Guanghan Palace.

Only then did the Queen Mother say: "That's it, just make the reason clear, you all kneel like this, and how can I continue the birthday of this old woman?" The queen should not worry about Wanxuan, Xiao Gu, you get up first, the mother of Shoukang Palace is benevolent and tolerant, she doesn't blame you. ”

Empress Dowager Zhang seemed to come back to her senses at this moment, glanced at the queen coldly, turned her head and talked to her sister-in-law: "You said earlier that you want to introduce the children of which family I know?" How can she say that she can make our family's Xiaoqi a confidant? This is not simple, Xiao Qi's temperament, neither likes flattery, nor is he impatient and boring, few people can get her blue eyes, think about the child you said is extraordinary, not vulgar and flamboyant. ”

It seems that it has nothing to do with this accident at all, as if her old man is just a spectator of this play.

Chungui didn't care at all that he was classified as a vulgar powder, a flamboyant tongue, and lowered his head and followed the queen to the queen mother again to return to his seat.

Today, she is very inappropriate to be in the limelight anymore, don't talk funny and laugh, it's better to say no

Throat.

Fortunately, the Queen Mother was also very considerate of Chungui's mood, and did not express her importance anymore, but chatted and laughed with Empress Shen, Shu Niangzi and her daughters, and Chungui sat on the side and was safe and sound.

In this way, the spring return can clearly hear the words of the Duchess of Cao Guo in response to the Empress Dowager Zhang

"Isn't that so? The seven girls have never been waiting to see those girls who love to flatter and please, and they only talk about rouge and gouache when they get together, where is there any fun? It's just that I met the girl of the Tao family by chance, and the child can also tell the allusions of the daughters like a few treasures, and she is also very knowledgeable, and the seven girls look at her differently. Miss Tao is more hearted, knowing that the seven girls are missing a dazzling wedding dress, she didn't say a word, secretly inquired for the seven girls, and wasted a lot of twists and turns to invite an embroidery girl from Suzhou, until the wedding dress was tailored, she herself first checked the seven girls' palms, and felt that it was a good one, so she sent it to let the seven girls see, sure enough, it was more exquisite than how many embroidery villages in Beijing, and Tao girls just relied on her eyes, she could measure the size of the accurate seven girls, and the seven girls tried the wedding dress was very fit. Doesn't that solve a big problem for us? Miss Tao also did not accept our work line, the set of wedding dress white hand, the words are very decent, the Tao is to be able to be the confidant of the seven girls is already her three lives lucky, but I don't know how to dedicate myself, fortunately, the embroidery girl cut this set of wedding clothes for the seven girls not to give up, only to give her the opportunity to do a little confidant friendship, the seven girls do not know how to thank Miss Tao, the heart is very unhappy, Miss Tao said that she admires the demeanor of the mother very much, if you can get more of the teachings of the mother, it is a blessing that you can't ask for, I saw that the child was indeed gentle and virtuous, and I thought that I had fulfilled her wish, the girls in the family have been married, and I am afraid that it will be inconvenient to enter the palace often in the future. ”

When Chungui heard the word "wedding dress", he knew that Miss Tao must be Fanglin's cousin, and even Queen Shen had the same judgment, after all, today's Queen Mother's birthday was hosted for her, and she knew who she had invited, and only her niece surnamed Tao was her own.

When she saw that Duchess Cao Guo explained to her daughter-in-law, and it was indeed Tao Fanglin who brought her in, Queen Shen didn't mention how angry she was, and couldn't help but glared at Aunt Shen, who had already come in and was sitting next to her, and while the Queen Mother and Mrs. Shu were talking and laughing, Queen Shen motioned for Aunt Shen to go out and talk.

"What's going on with Fang'er? When did you catch the seven girls of the Zhang family? How did you get her to flatter that from Shoukang Palace?! ”

Aunt Shen was actually confused: "My sister asked me, I couldn't figure out what the situation was, Fang'er and I have not been as close as I was when I was a child in the past two years, so I said that I went to Suzhou to invite embroidery girls, she didn't mention it to me, and went directly to her father to do it." I also asked her, the marriage has not been tossed like this, the cousins and cousins in the family are afraid that they will slander her extravagance, and she has never explained it to me, only saying that I should not worry about these things. ”

However, Aunt Shen still defended her daughter: "There is nothing wrong with making friends with the Cao Guo Mansion, Miss Zhang Qi is about to marry into the Zhen family, she introduces Fang'er as a confidant, maybe it will help Fang'er's marriage in the future, not to mention Zhang Niangniang of Shoukang Palace, if Fang'er really casts her old man's eye, maybe...... My sister proposed to choose Fang'er as the princess, and Zhang Niangniang would also support it. ”

Empress Shen stared at her sibling sister, her mind was like a group of galloping horses, and she really didn't know how to organize her words for a while.
