Chapter 69: The Queen's Conspiracy
Seeing the Queen Mother's noncommittal attitude, Queen Nalan secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. turned to look at the old lady Helian, who seemed to be a little confused by this sudden incident. She thought about it for a while, and then said: "The queen mother is the world, if she really wants to accept her son as a righteous daughter, it is her great blessing." But the women are worried, I don't know if she has the blessing to be so loved by the queen? ”
Seeing that things were going surprisingly smoothly, Queen Nalan was so proud that she lifted her previous caution little by little. At the moment, he only smiled and said: "Old Madam Helian, you are really polite, I can't hide it, this palace has seen Zi Chu day by day these days, and I am always very happy by her intelligence and exquisiteness." It's a pity that there is no biological daughter in this palace, so I have long regarded her as my own daughter. ”
The queen mother understood coldly that if the queen wanted to recognize her son as a righteous daughter, she wanted to cut off her chance to marry Jun Yuchen. But for her grandmother, Jun Yuchen is not only the youngest great-grandson, but also her most beloved one. It's rare that Zichu's child fell in love with her, and the two children loved each other so much, how could she watch the queen make trouble in it?
It's just that the Queen Mother is the Queen Mother, and when she is both shocked and angry in her heart, her face is still not half a point at all. After seeing that the queen had relaxed, he took a sip of tea and waited for the opportunity to indifferently order: "This matter is also very good for the mourning family, but at the moment the emperor is still sick, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also feeling a little unwell." Such a happy event, I'm afraid that I have to put it aside for a while, and after this period of time has passed, I will find a good day to handle it well, what do you think, queen? ”
Queen Nalan was a little surprised that everything she planned would go so smoothly. Or, it was the heavens who also helped him in the dark, so he immediately echoed: "Yes, the queen mother is reasonable, and the daughter-in-law also thinks so." ”
After a while, after the palace maid brought fresh seasonal fruits, the three of them sat in the main hall and chatted for a while. Queen Nalan knew the opportunity very well, and when she saw that the old lady Helian no longer continued to mention that Zichu would be taken back, she secretly ordered someone to invite Zichu to come out, and asked someone to tell Jun Yuchen that he must not show up before the queen mother left.
When Jun Yuchen heard that the Queen Mother came to Fengyi Palace, she was also very excited and looking forward to it. Although he knew that the relationship between his mother and the queen mother's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was not good, even after his father canonized his mother as the queen, the queen mother no longer asked about the affairs of the harem, but put on coarse cloth clothes, hid in the Zizhu Courtyard to eat fasting and pray for her son. But the grandmother of the Queen Mother is very kind to him, that is, she never waits to see her mother, and she always looks at her own face, and does not openly embarrass her mother.
His grandmother was so close that he couldn't go out and see him. Trapped in the house, Jun Yuchen couldn't help but be a little anxious and discouraged, this may be the sorrow of the children born in the heavenly family! Relatives should also guard each other, that is, those who are close to each other, sometimes for the sake of interests, will also turn against each other. Alas, I don't know what will happen to Zichu after he knows his true identity? Also, she has deceived her for so long and so many times, how will she settle accounts with herself in the end?
Just as my head was in a mess, there was a creak and the door was pushed open. As soon as he saw Zichu coming back, Jun Yuchen immediately served a cup of hot tea with some doglegs, and asked with a smile on his face, "Are you back?" That old lady is your grandmother? It's really imposing to look at. ”
Zichu looked at Jun Yuchen, silently took the tea in his hand, but then gently put it down.
Jun Yuchen saw that her face was a little bad, so she asked, "What's wrong?" But when I saw the Queen Mother, I felt a little scared? ”
Zichu shook his head and said, "I didn't see the Queen Mother, I only saw my grandmother." Alas, in fact, seeing that my grandmother still has to worry about me at such an age, I can't help it, so I don't have anything else to worry about. ”
Jun Yuchen said: "The Queen Mother left so soon? You've only seen your grandmother? ”
He was a little disappointed in his heart, and he originally wanted the Queen Mother to meet Zichu, or he would have a love for her. After all, Zichu is such a kind and beautiful woman, and the imperial grandmother loves herself the most, and she will definitely fulfill her marriage. When the time comes, even if someone wants to stop it, there will always be such a strong backing as the Queen Mother.
But I didn't expect the two to be close to each other, and the Queen Mother came to Fengyi Palace, but she left without seeing Zichu. But at such a time, he was not easy to come forward, so he comforted: "The elders all love their children, and your grandmother is really hearted to see that you can come to the palace." In the future, let's be filial to her old man together. ”
Zichu nodded, and then remembered something, so he frowned and asked, "Let?" Yu Jiu, what do you mean by that? ”
Jun Yuchen simply said cheekily: "Of course it's us!" You are now my man, and of course, I am yours. In the future, we will definitely be filial to each other's elders together! ”
Zichu was like him, and said disapplausively: "Hmph, what you think is beautiful, who wants to be filial to your parents with you?" ”
Jun Yuchen saw that she said that, but the look in her eyes was a little snickering, so she said, "Even if I want to be beautiful!" That's what I thought in my heart anyway, and I'd do the same. ”
Zichu sneered, turned around and ignored him. But when he lowered his eyes, there was an imperceptible smile on the corner of his mouth. Even she doesn't know when the relationship between her and him has gradually begun to be full of warmth and mutual dependence?
In Fengyi Palace, when Queen Nalan was empty, she said with a cold face: "This can't be done, the Queen Mother, an old pious woman, has now come to the palace without warning, which shows that she is already a little suspicious." It is said that there are many dreams at night, and Chen'er's return to the palace must be made public as soon as possible, otherwise as soon as he is discovered, he will be at a disadvantage. ”
Zijuan shook her head when she heard this: "Yes, what Niangniang said is reasonable, and the slave and maid also think that the matter of the prince's return to Beijing must be known to the world this morning." It's just that what can be done to make this matter reasonable and not be stopped by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? “
Empress Nalan also knew that the biggest obstacle to her son's return to Beijing came from the crown prince Jun Yuyu. After all, as the prince, at such a time, the most taboo thing is for the other brothers to come back to the palace to compete with him for the throne.
Moreover, even if this layer is aside, since the founding of Emperor Taizong, this dynasty has made a rule that all princes who have reached the age of fourteen must leave the palace to live in the fiefdom, and they are not allowed to enter Beijing without permission during the New Year's Festival. Everyone in the world knows this rule, and now that you are pinching your fingers, it just happens to be a non-New Year's Day, how to make up this excuse to convince people?
"There it is! Now that the emperor is sick, as long as the palace is sick again, the palace will always be Chen'er's mother. When the time comes, let him go to Beijing to serve the sick in the name of filial piety, but it is no longer a reasonable reason. That's it! ”
Hearing what Queen Nalan said, although Zijuan also felt that the idea was good, she couldn't help but worry: "But Niangniang, you are so good, if you suddenly fall ill, won't it arouse the suspicion of His Royal Highness the Prince?" You also know that many of the imperial doctors in the palace are the prince's henchmen. By that time .......".
Queen Nalan cut off Zijuan's words, and resolutely raised her head and said, "There is nothing until then, this palace is out this time." As long as the news of Chen'er's return to Beijing can be made public, this palace is willing to make any sacrifice! ”
In the East Palace, the splendid and brilliant pearls shine.
In the charming room, several beauties are extremely charming around the prince Jun Yujiu. All of them are very standard, and their faces are simple and elegant, but they can hardly hide their national beauty and natural appearance.
"Your Highness, the concubine has newly practiced a palm dance, I would like you to comment on it."
"Okay, that's right, come on, play music."
The crown prince Jun Yusulfone was wearing a jade-colored brocade robe, surrounded by beauties, but the expression on his face was very indifferent. He held a small jade cup filled with amber wine. A pair of eyes are dark and clear, and when they look at people, they make people look a little cold for no reason.
After a short time, the dancing girl changed her clothes, twisted her slender waist like a water snake as the music sounded, and stepped onto the high lotus-shaped jade stage. The dancing girl was very close to Yanmei and charming in her every move, but her twisted waist was about to be broken, but the look in the eyes of the prince Jun Yuxuan did not seem to change in the slightest.
Seeing this, the concubines on the left climbed over and said to the prince: "Since Your Highness doesn't like this dance very much, then the concubine will peel a grape for you!" This is the new tribute variety of Persia this year, can you taste it? ”
Jun Yuxuan looked at the grape pulp on Concubine Ji's soft white fingers expressionlessly, but somehow, he suddenly remembered the faint fragrance of fruit and flowers mixed with fruit and flowers on Zijuan's body......
Seeing this, the concubine next to her was unwilling to hand over a few round and plump cherries, and said delicately: "Your Highness, this is a cherry that has just been picked, but it is produced in the orchard of our East Palace!" When you look at the color, isn't it as bright as rouge? It must have tasted good. ”
Rouge cream? It's more like blood, right? Yes, the color of the red dong was exactly the same as the color she had left on her robe.......
"Go down! Get out of here! ”
Jun Yuyu waved her hand and knocked away the fruit in the concubine's hand, suddenly interrupting the movements of the dancing dancer, and even more frightened the musicians who were sitting behind the screen to accompaniment. Seeing his sudden change of face, everyone was shocked and frightened, and after a while, they retreated cleanly, leaving him alone to sit under the candlelight.
