Chapter 168: A Famous Lady Slaps the White Lotus in the Face (31)
A few days later, Su Yi was summoned to the palace again, and at the gate of the palace, she met Zhu Chengze.
"The prince is well."
"You've forgotten our promise again."
Zhu Chengze shook his fan and reminded gracefully.
Su Yi smiled and said, "This is the inner courtyard of the palace, don't break the rules at will." β
"Butβ"
"Lord Wang, the outside world is naturally casual, but the rules in the palace cannot be abolished, and if they are abolished, it will make people gossip."
Su Yi reminded Zhu Chengze softly.
Zhu Chengze smiled and did not comment.
At this time, the people from Cining Palace came to lead Su Yi in to see the Queen Mother, and found that Zhu Chengze was also there, so he saluted without surprise, and immediately took them into Cining Palace.
Su Yi thought of Ai Xinshan and pleaded: "Mama, the little son of the Ai family has not seen the county lord of Qinglian for a long time, and he misses it very much, I don't know if I can ask Mama to say a word in the queen's back, even if it is just to let the little son enter the palace to see the queen mother, it will ......."
"If it's just a word in front of the Queen Mother, the old slave is naturally not impossible, but whether the Queen Mother is willing to see him and whether she will agree to his request, the old slave can't say!"
"Thank you, Mama."
Su Yi smiled and entered Cining Palace with Zhu Chengze.
As they passed through the palace gates, they saw a lavishly decorated carriage waiting to leave the palace.
Su Yi saw that the badge on the surface of the carriage was very familiar, so she asked her grandmother: "Isn't this the carriage of Concubine Sun Gui's mother?" β
"Recently, she has been concentrating on worshipping the Buddha, and she goes outside the palace to burn incense every once in a while."
Mama didn't like Sun Guifei, and her tone was slightly contemptuous.
Su Yi didn't want to get involved in the women's war in the inner courtyard of the deep palace, so when she saw that her grandmother didn't like Sun Guifei, she didn't ask more, and after entering Cining Palace, she saluted and told stories.
The Queen Mother liked Su Yi's story very much, and when she saw Zhu Chengze going in and out with her, her eyes flashed with a light of calculation.
When Su Yi said that Ai Xinshan wanted to see the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother glanced at the young Fu Wang Ye and agreed to Ai Xinshan's request to see her.
Not long after, Ai Xinshan came to Cining Palace.
He was still a child in the end, and he cried in front of the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother looked at his appearance, and her heart softened, and said: "Xinshan is really a poor child, his mother died early, his father sacrificed his life for the country, and the sister who depends on each other is not angry!" β
"The Queen Mother's ......"
Ai Xinshan cried even more pitifully.
The Queen Mother sympathized with him and said: "This Ai Xinlian is too, why don't you remember that you still have a younger brother to take care of when you talk to Li Changhe!" β
Hearing this, Ai Xinshan suddenly stopped crying, straightened up and said, "Queen Mother, my sister didn't ignore me, she just loves Master Li too much, and regards Master Li as more important than Xinshan." Master Li also said that they are true love, and there is nothing wrong with true love! β
"What!"
The queen was furious, and her sharp eyes pierced the several servants of the Ai family who accompanied Ai Xinshan into the palace: "Who taught those words just now!" β
"Back to the Queen Mother, those words were learned by the little prince by himself by following the county lord...... We didn't know what the boy would ...... The Queen Mother, the little boy is still a child, and he doesn't know what he's talking about! Please forgive the Queen Mother! β
"Isn't it?"
The Queen Mother smiled coldly and said, "The mourning family still felt that the decision to separate their sister and brother was a bit excessive, but now they know that not separating them is the future that harms Ai Xinshan!" That's it, you take Ai Xinshan to see Ai Xinlian! But the maids who came with kindness have to stay! β
"Great! I can meet my sister! β
Ai Xinshan didn't know that the queen mother wanted to punish the people around her, and thought that the palace had strict rules, and ordinary people were not allowed to enter and leave the palace, so she happily followed the palace maids to see Ai Xinlian.
Ai Xinshan's slaves and maids knew that the big thing was not good, and knelt in the Cining Palace and trembled.
"You are convicted!"
The mother in front of the queen mother said sharply.
"The slave knows his mistake! Slaves are guilty! β
The servants of the Ai family fell to their knees and trembled.
The Queen Mother smiled and said: "Knowing mistakes can improve a lot, but you who are slaves will inevitably teach the little master badly, and the mourning family thinks that two grandmothers from the palace are responsible for the upbringing of the little son, and you-forget it, let's play twenty boards each!" β
"Thank you for the grace of the Queen Mother!"
The minions of the Ai family all kowtowed to thank him.
According to the rules, the mistake they made was that they were beaten to death by the Queen Mother's order.
"Alright, go down and get the punishment!"
The Queen Mother waved her hand and asked the Ai family slaves and maids to step back.
When Su Yi saw this, she also knew that the Queen Mother had completely given up on Ai Xinlian, but she only had a hope for Ai Xinshan who was still a child.
If Ai Xinlian doesn't know whether to live or die anymore, she will make a moth......
Su Yi believes that the Queen Mother will not hesitate to execute her!
Thinking of this, Su Yi smiled and continued to tell the story to the Queen Mother, Zhu Chengze also sang and harmonized, coaxing the Queen Mother very happily, feeling that these two people were on their side and absolutely protected their own interests.
The Queen Mother saw that the two had a tacit understanding, and her eyes did not turn around on the two of them, and her smile was a little meaningful.
Not long after, after the story was told, Su Yi was about to retire, when the Queen Mother suddenly said: "Yuyan, the mourning family suddenly remembered that you and Prince Anle have known each other since childhood?" β
"When the mother concubine was alive, Mrs. Xu did often bring Yuyan to the palace to play."
"Then you are also childhood sweethearts," the Queen Mother smiled narrowly, "No wonder the relationship is so good." β
Hearing this, Su Yi was stunned, then nodded in agreement, and said, "The Queen Mother praised it." β
The Queen Mother said: "Yuyan, you have already married, you are not a daughter who has not left the cabinet, there is something in the mourning family that I want to ask you directlyββ"
"Queen Mother, please speak."
"Have you ever thought about remarrying?"
"This ......"
Su Yi was stunned.
The Queen Mother said: "The Daqing Dynasty does not stipulate that women cannot remarry, not to mention the matter between you and Li Changhe...... With your talent and identity, there is no difficulty in marrying a good husband again, if you have someone you like, you might as well tell the mourning family directly! β
ββ¦β¦β
If this topic was suddenly opened, Su Yi would still think that the Queen Mother cared about herself, but she first asked Xu Yuyan and Zhu Chengze if they were childhood sweethearts, and then mentioned the matter of second marriage, Su Yi would not be able to see what the Queen Mother meant unless she was a fool!
She felt that Zhu Chengze was interesting to her, and she also liked Zhu Chengze, and planned to fulfill them by pulling another political ally for herself by the way.
However, does the Queen Mother really want them to be her allies, or is she testing whether Zhu Chengze has the heart to covet the throne?
Su Yi's heart turned upside down.
Zhu Chengze obviously also had something on his mind, and when he heard the words, he muttered for a long time without saying a word.
Seeing that they were all hesitating, the Queen Mother smiled and said, "Why are you distracted? Is it embarrassing or ......"
"The Queen Mother forgives her sins!"
Su Yi didn't know how to answer, so she could only answer with this omnipotence.
The Queen Mother said: "The mourning family forgives you for your innocence, just say what you want to say!" βγ
"The Queen Mother's ......"
