Chapter 355: Being smart is mistaken by being smart
But just after Shangguan Wan's death, she was severely reprimanded by her husband, sad and fainted, but the emperor did not even announce the imperial doctor, but promoted a palace maid in public to be a concubine.
And today's peony banquet, after several parties confronted her, she was completely defeated. Not only did he fail to block Song Zichu's daughter-in-law, but he put the charge of ill-intentioned and malicious unkindness firmly on his head.
If it is just that the authority of the queen mother has been cut and the reputation has been ruined, these are not enough, but the most terrible thing is that it is the suspicion of her husband, the emperor!
Since Shangguan Wanshu's death, her husband sent him to Xishan to pray for blessings in a word, of course the Empress Dowager Nalan knows what today's situation will make the Emperor Taishang think of. And the role she played was the stepmother who was vicious and killed Empress Yuan, who made the emperor hate her...... This kind of psychological projection is extremely beneficial to Song Zichu, but it is extremely harmful to her.
It's disgusting! Decades of prudence and scheming were ruined at this peony banquet!
Especially, nothing else, now, she even had a dirty birth with her biological son who affected her!
"Damn Song Zichu, damn Song Zilan, dare you to deliberately set up such a situation to lead the palace into the palace, and behave in public, showing how filial they are, how helpless, and how domineering, how vicious, and how unkind the palace is! It's really hateful! ”
Thinking of all the stakes, Empress Dowager Nalan couldn't help but feel resentful again, gritting her teeth and saying.
Just when the Empress Dowager Nalan gritted her teeth, there was a sound of the maid outside, but it was Empress Zhang who sent someone to quietly come in through the back door to ask for a meeting.
"What is she here for? Is it to come and see the jokes of the mourners? ”
Before the words fell, the person sent by Empress Zhang had already entered the room. Seeing that the Empress Dowager Nalan's face was not worried, she hurriedly saluted respectfully and said, "Slave maid see the Empress Dowager!" My master said that this matter was all due to her lack of thought, which made people take advantage of the loophole. But please rest assured, when my master gets better, she will definitely make amends to you in person! ”
The Empress Dowager Nalan was a little more relieved when she heard this, and after a while, she said unhurriedly: "Get up and talk back, say, how is your master recovering from illness now?" When will I be able to return to the palace? ”
"Back to the Queen Mother's words, my master Jiren has his own natural appearance, and now he is almost good. However, that Jiang Concubine didn't have such good luck, I heard that her face was almost completely ruined, and she looked like she couldn't see people, and she was extremely terrifying. ”
"Oh? In this way, your master was a blessing in disguise, and took this opportunity to get rid of Jiang Concubine, a fierce enemy? ”
The Empress Dowager Nalan said, and suddenly felt that something was wrong again. She frowned and thought about it, and suddenly said with a pale face: "Your master has also been tricked this time!" Hurry up, you hurry up and go back and tell her, no matter what, you have to find a way to heal Jiang Concubine's face, otherwise, I'm afraid that Jun Yucheng will definitely not be able to spare her! ”
The maid sent by Empress Zhang looked confused when she heard this, and at first she thought that the queen mother was dizzy, but when she came back to her senses, she also said with a shocked face: "Queen Mother, you mean, there are still people outside this time, and the purpose is to let our queen mother and Concubine Jiang have an accident together." If Concubine Jiang is disfigured afterwards, but my master is not damaged at all, it will make the world think that all this is our queen's mother secretly planning and framing the emperor's favorite concubine? ”
The Empress Dowager Nalan nodded, and said very unwillingly and helplessly: "You hurry up and go back to spread the word, and let your master find a way to save the current decline." Otherwise, alas .......".
The maid was also a clever man, and when she heard this, she did not delay any longer, and immediately withdrew.
In the Magnolia Palace, the lights are bright. In the courtyard surrounded by flowers, the night breeze is blowing, and the fragrance of flowers is pleasant. Coupled with the bursts of aroma of wine and food, even more tempting people will have to stop far away outside the wall.
Because tonight invited are acquaintances of friends, so the feast is set in the back garden of the Magnolia Palace, although it is not as large as the imperial garden, but it is also exquisite and appreciative, after the corridor of nine songs and eighteen times, suddenly there is a wave of artificial blue lake, the octagonal pavilion on the lake is extremely wide and surrounded by water, only a small yellow bamboo bridge leads to the center of the pavilion.
On the surface of the lake is the lotus leaves of the new green and blue, the blue waves of the pool under the golden light are sparkling, the lotus leaves are like a fairy dancing, there is a small boat moored in the depths of the lotus leaves, several female singers are holding the jade flute to play, and the flute is wrapped in water vapor and emitted upward.
Seeing the night falling, everyone sat down in turn around a table, which had already prepared a dazzling array of dishes and dim sum, and the freshly opened aged wine spread out through the aroma of grain, and the beautiful scenery was like a poetry and painting, which made people drunk before drinking.
Jiang Jiantao took a breath along the breeze and said with a loud smile: "This palace really complements each other, Magnolia Palace, the scenery and characters are all beautiful, and now with this good wine and good food, it is really a good place!" ”
Zichu has had a little thought since he came back from the Imperial Garden's conversation with Ye He Minglu. It's just that at this time, it is rare to get together with friends and friends, so I also let go of those worries, and just fulfill the duties and obligations of a hostess, while instructing the kitchen to cook everyone's favorite dishes, and at the same time persuading wine and laughing. Naturally, it is necessary to take care of Ning Huan and Song Zilan's eldest son. However, after the two children came back, they first ate some snacks, and at this time they ran around laughing and laughing, and from time to time they ran in front of their parents, raised a gadget in their hands, and said ostentatiously: "Mother, do you see the flower that my cousin picked for me just now, is it beautiful?" ”
Zichu squatted down and sniffed, touched his daughter's delicate cheeks with a loving face, and took the sweat towel from Linglong's hand to wipe her sweat, and then smiled: "It's very fragrant, do you want your mother to stick it on your head?" Is there a thank you for being a cousin? ”
"Well, well, thank you, Mother! I've already thanked my cousin just now, I don't believe you asked my cousin! ”
Zichu handed the square scarf to Linglong, turned around and stuffed Ning Huan with a piece of lotus cake, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that Song Zilan was also busy feeding his son over there. Nangong Qingyang looked at Zhengzheng beside him, with a look of love on his face. This family of three seems to be so harmonious and intimate, although Song Zilan is a new person, and now she is a good mother and wife, but Nangong Qingyang, the brother-in-law, is really a good man who is hard to find in the world.
After Ning Huan ate the lotus cake here, she pointed to a few other snacks on the table and said that she wanted to eat them, Zichu simply pulled her to her side, and when she was about to continue feeding the pigs, she saw Ning Huan suddenly frowning and pursed her mouth, and said coquettishly: "Mother, can you send someone to invite the eldest prince's brother to eat snacks together?" You see he's been called to listen to his husband for so long, and he always needs to eat! ”
When Zichu heard this, he glanced at Jun Yuchen's side, and Jun Yuchen also nodded and said: "Well, the emperor has high hopes for the eldest prince, but after all, the eldest prince is still young, and it is enough to embarrass the child by enlightening him so early." ”
Song Zilan next to him said: "I think the eldest prince is very smart, and he has the emperor's style in his actions, so the emperor will pay special attention to him." Speaking of which, I want to invite a good gentleman back to enlighten Zhengzheng as soon as possible. As an elder brother, he must lead by example, otherwise in the future, he will only be afraid of .......".
Song Zilan said that she wanted to stop talking here, obviously as a mother, she didn't want to belittle her son in front of everyone. However, she is well aware of the style of the Sheng Mansion. Sheng Chonghua is especially a wandering and flashy son, if Zhengzheng also inherited his stinky problems, it will really be enough for her to have a headache in the future.
Hearing Song Zilan say this, everyone present understood her worries. But others couldn't say anything, but Nangong Qingyang got up, hugged Zhengzheng from his wife's hand, and smiled at him: "Daddy's good son, tell your mother, when you grow up, do you want to be like your father, be an upright man, be responsible for life and work, will you honor your parents and love your younger brothers and sisters, and take on the obligation of being the eldest son?" ”
Originally, everyone was amused when they heard this, thinking to themselves that they were only two years old, how can you get a response to this when you tell him? But when he saw Zhengzheng's face, he nodded very seriously, and said loudly: "Well, please rest assured, Daddy and Mom, Zhengzheng will definitely be a good child and will not let Daddy and Mom worry about you." In the future, after my mother has a few more younger brothers and sisters, Zhengzheng will help you take care of your younger brothers and sisters. ”
The milky voice of these words is just a cute look of pink and tender, and with such an expression, people can't help but laugh.
Hearing her son say this, Song Zilan also felt relieved. Zichu turned around and persuaded: "The children are still young, I think, in fact, you should have fun when you are young." Anyway, I don't want my children to be rich or powerful, my biggest wish is just to hope that they can live according to their own wishes. You see Zhengzheng, what a well-behaved child, don't be in a hurry to ask him for a husband, wait until he is five years old and then enlighten, at that time to teach the three-character scripture or something, you can also go on the road soon. ”
Song Zilan nodded, looked at Zichu's abdomen with some embarrassment, and said, "Well, what my sister said is reasonable." Seeing that the little county lord is so well-behaved and cute, I also want to have another daughter. I just don't know if I can get my wish, in the final analysis, having a son is just fame, and giving birth to a daughter is a blessing! ”
Zichu looked at Jiang Jiantao and his wife, who were smiling and silent, and deliberately said loudly: "That's it, I still felt that I was not angry before, and I only gave birth to a daughter for my husband, lest he dislike it." Unexpectedly, now it's good, the two fathers and daughters are like glue, but it seems that I, the mother, have become an outsider! Hmph, so this time, I'm not afraid of having another daughter. Anyway, one has already stuck her father to death, and another one, some people just want to get to know the wildflowers and weeds outside, and that's impossible! ”
