Chapter Seventy-Two: The Queen Mother Knows
"Chu Yunming's courage is really big." Chu Xingze is a person who protects his shortcomings, and he has already thought of many ways to teach him a lesson in his heart at this time.
An Lan saw his thoughts at a glance, and immediately pressed his hand: "This matter is not in a hurry, you don't need to make a move, if you make a move, it will be unpleasant if you find out." ”
Chu Xingze's position was already a little embarrassing, and if he was found out what to do to Chu Yunming, even if he was reasonable, with the queen and the virtuous concubine, it would only be Chu Xingze who ignored him in the end.
"Huh?" Chu Xingze looked at the smile on the corner of An Lan's mouth, and there was more tenderness in his eyes, "Don't have too much contact with Chu Yunming." ”
Chu Yunming's mind was Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone knew it, and Chu Xingze naturally hoped that An Lan could stay away from him.
"Don't worry, I'm measured, it's better to kill people without blood." An Lan can't do it herself, even if she wants to do it herself, she can't find a way to do both for a while.
However, although the queen is in power in the palace now, there is a queen mother above the queen, not to mention concubines in the palace, even the emperor has to respect the queen mother.
Seeing An Lan's inevitable appearance, Chu Xingze also guessed, but still asked softly, "What are you going to do?" ”
An Lan didn't intend to hide it from him, and whispered a few words in his ear.
Within two days, there were rumors in the palace that Chu Yunming, the sixth prince, actually coveted his sister-in-law, Princess Anlan, on the street, and the things on the street that day also spread to the palace.
Although he had known that Chu Yunming was a lustful person for a long time, no one expected that he would actually like his sister-in-law, the royal scandal, and the idle palace people naturally regarded this matter as an after-dinner conversation.
The matter at the cocktail party that day had already been suppressed and not leaked out at all, so not many people knew, and now 31 families know about what happened again.
The Queen Mother is old, most of the time in the palace to read Buddha and read books, this day suddenly came to the spirit to go to the imperial garden for a walk, but I didn't expect to hear the conversation of these palace people.
"I really didn't expect that these six princes would like their sister-in-law."
"The six princes have always liked beauties, but seriously, it's no wonder that Princess Ji is so good-looking."
"Eh, do you think the virtuous concubine knows about this?"
The palace man's words made the queen mother's face extremely ugly, and the personal grandmother next to her hurriedly found a few little palace maids.
The Queen Mother took a deep breath, then suppressed the anger in her heart, looked at these palace people and asked, "Where did you hear all the gossip you just said?" ”
The palace people were already too frightened to do anything, and their bodies kept trembling at this time: "Slave...... The slaves and maids also heard rumors in the palace, which ...... That's when I casually said a few words......"
Seeing that the Queen Mother was so angry, Mama hurriedly asked a few palace people to go down, and then she helped the Queen Mother and whispered: "Don't be angry, Niangniang, Xu is the palace people talking nonsense." ”
The Queen Mother rubbed her temples, there was a flash of disgust in her eyes, and she quickly looked at the grandmother next to her, and asked directly: "Is this matter known to everyone in the palace?" Don't you know? ”
Mama looked at the angry Queen Mother and didn't dare to breathe, so she could only lower her head, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.
"Okay, good ......" The Queen Mother said three good words in a row, but she was obviously angry, and her voice was a little higher, "Go and call the queen and the virtuous concubine!" ”
When the queen and the virtuous concubine arrived in the queen mother's palace, the queen mother had already heard the ins and outs from the mouths of the palace people, and she was sitting on the top with a calm face at this time, still holding Buddhist beads in her hand.
The queen and the virtuous concubine didn't know what the queen mother hurriedly called them over, but when they saw the queen mother's face, they also knew that it was not a good thing, and after seeing the ceremony, they stood quietly next to them.
The Queen Mother didn't speak, but a pair of eyes flowed between the two of them, her face was not good, and the palace people around her were afraid of harming the pond fish, and they all lowered their heads to reduce their sense of existence.
"Queen Mother," in the end, the queen couldn't stand the queen mother's gaze, and stepped forward with a smile and asked, "Recently, the concubines have been busy with palace affairs and neglected the queen mother's side, how is the queen mother lately?" ”
The queen manages the affairs of the palace, although it is hard, but the mother-in-law of the queen mother must not be negligent, otherwise someone will say that the queen is not filial.
"The mourning family is very good." The Queen Mother's words were sarcastic and indifferent, which made the Queen a little unsure of how to answer for a while.
The queen mother obviously didn't expect the queen to answer, blew the tea cup in her hand, and asked lightly: "There have been many rumors in the palace recently, and the queen, as the master of the harem, doesn't know if she has heard of it?" ”
"The concubines have been busy lately, and I haven't heard any rumors." As soon as the queen heard the queen mother's words, she understood the queen mother's purpose today, and quickly shirked the matter.
She originally planned to suppress this matter when it was almost over, but she didn't expect the Queen Mother to come to the door so soon.
She didn't care much about Chu Yunming, she didn't give birth to her, and she didn't raise her, so there was no need to have anything to do with her drinking.
The Queen Mother saw that the queen looked confused, so she didn't say anything, but looked at the virtuous concubine: "What about you?" ”
Concubine Xian had an intuition that this matter had something to do with her: "The concubine has never heard of it." ”
She really hasn't heard of this, she is still busy planning for her son, how can she win the emperor's heart, how can she have so much effort to listen to those gossip?
"Didn't hear about it?" The Queen Mother smiled coldly and glanced at the palace people next to her.
The palace people told the rumors in the palace in the past two days to the virtuous concubine, which naturally included what Chu Yunming did on the street that day.
Concubine Xian already knew that the big thing was not good when she heard the previous paragraph, and when she heard the palace people talking about Chu Yunming, her face turned even whiter.
The meaning of the Queen Mother calling them over today is already obvious, when this kind of thing happens, she, as a mother, is definitely the first to suffer.
However, the queen was relieved to hear the queen mother's words, this matter has nothing to do with her, at most she just didn't manage the palace people well, as long as she has a good attitude, the queen mother will not say anything.
"Concubine Xian, this is the good son you taught?" The Queen Mother's voice was full of anger, questioning the virtuous concubine.
Concubine Xian knelt directly on the ground, and scolded Chu Yunming several times in her heart before she spoke: "The concubine really doesn't know about this matter, but Ming'er has always known the measure, and she will never do such a thing, please check the queen mother!" ”
Now no matter whether Chu Yunming really did it or not, Concubine Xian only hopes that this matter will not become true.
The Queen Mother was even more angry when she heard this, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "You mean that the mourning family has wronged you?" ”
