Chapter Seventy-Three: Halo
Since the Queen Mother was able to question them here, she had naturally let people verify the authenticity of this matter, and it was because she knew that this matter was actually true that she was so angry.
"No...... Can't. "Concubine Xian has this idea, but she doesn't have the courage to say it.
"Don't dare? The mourning family dares to look at you, a good son has taught you to be like that, if you change to someone else's girl, forget it, you can say that kind of thing to your sister-in-law! It's a shame on the royal family! The Queen Mother's words can be said to have no face left for the virtuous concubine, and she said it very bluntly.
Chu Yunming's words that day, but when they came out on the street, so many people looked at them, and they knew that the dignified six princes actually thought about their sister-in-law! Didn't you lose the royal face?
Concubine Xiangui's face was a little ugly, but she could only listen to the Queen Mother's words, and she couldn't say the slightest rebuttal.
"The queen mother is angry, this matter will definitely be dealt with as soon as possible." The queen saw that the queen mother had a calm face, and hurriedly stepped forward to speak.
The Queen Mother hasn't turned her head to scold her at this time, but it should be her turn after the virtuous concubine, so it is better to admit her mistake while the Queen Mother has not reprimanded her.
"It's good that you know, you are the mother-in-law of the prince and princess, so you should take on the responsibility of your mother-in-law." The queen mother saw that the queen's attitude was good, and the anger in her heart disappeared a little.
The queen saw that the queen mother's anger subsided a little, and the smile on her face deepened by two points: "Yes, the concubine understands." ”
"Virtuous concubine, go back and discipline your son well! What a good person, you taught to be like this! The Queen Mother's words were filled with disgust and disgust, and she did not care about her face at all.
Concubine Xian knelt on the ground, even if she lowered her head, she could feel the ridicule of the people around her, her hands clenched unconsciously, and she didn't feel her nails sinking into the flesh.
"The queen mother, it's just a trivial matter, Ming'er just talks about it, and she hasn't really done anything, is the queen mother's words too heavy." Concubine Xian was a little aggrieved, after all, she hadn't suffered this kind of humiliation for a long time.
The queen mother's anger had already disappeared for the most part, and when she heard the words of the virtuous concubine, she only felt angry, and directly threw the tea cup in her hand in front of her, looking at her with a calm face.
"You're talking about mourning, aren't you?" The Queen Mother looked at Concubine Xian with cold eyes, and said for a long time, "Get out!" Go back to your palace and think about it, when will you know that you are wrong and then admit your mistake in front of the mourning family! ”
Seeing that the Queen Mother was so angry, the queen was also startled, knelt down directly, and scolded the virtuous concubine fiercely in her heart, forget it if she is punished, don't bother her.
Concubine Xiangui's face was even more ugly, but she didn't speak, and the queen mother just wanted the palace people to drag her down, when she heard the grandmother next to her whisper: "Niangniang, the emperor is here." ”
Naturally, there is no need to say what the emperor will do, what else can he do besides pleading.
Sure enough, as soon as the emperor came in, he looked at the queen and the virtuous concubine who were kneeling on the ground, and hurriedly said, "What is the queen mother doing?" It's just looking for trouble, and it's not the fault of the queen and the concubine, let them get up. ”
The arrival of the emperor made the queen and the virtuous concubine breathe a sigh of relief, and they were also sure that the emperor would definitely help them.
The queen mother has been in the harem all her life, and she saw through the emperor's careful thoughts at a glance, and asked rhetorically: "The mourning family just punished the concubine for thinking about it, and the emperor is distressed?" ”
The emperor suddenly touched his nose with some embarrassment, and said for a long time: "I just think this kind of thing, and I can't blame the queen and the concubine." ”
He didn't know about the things in the palace, but as soon as he heard that the queen and the virtuous concubine had been punished by the queen mother, he immediately asked the palace people around him, and he knew the ins and outs of the future.
"Don't blame them?" The Queen Mother smiled coldly and glanced at the emperor lightly, "It really shouldn't be blamed only on them, the son is not the fault of the father, is the emperor's father incompetent?" ”
In the eyes of the Queen Mother, the emperor has a special preference for the two sons born by the virtuous concubine, and it stands to reason that these two people should also be the best.
"Queen Mother!" As soon as the emperor heard the queen mother's words, his face became very ugly, and he walked directly to the queen mother's side, lowered his voice and said, "Queen Mother, forget about this matter, after all, Princess Ji is fine, and the Queen Mother should also take care of my face." ”
In front of so many people, the Queen Mother's words were merciless, saying that his father was incompetent and did not teach his son well, and the emperor only felt that he had lost face.
"The emperor still knows face? Now that people say that the six princes covet their sister-in-law, the emperor feels that there is light on his face? Good for royal fame? The Queen Mother took two deep breaths as she spoke, looked at Concubine Xian and said coldly, "It's just that I'm thinking about it, and it's not for her to die, the emperor came over in a hurry to help plead, did you think about the face of the mourning family?" Don't the mourning family even have the right to dispose of concubines? ”
The Queen Mother has long been dissatisfied with the emperor's favor of the virtuous concubine, so she will naturally not let it go easily.
Listening to the Queen Mother's words, the emperor's face was a little ugly, but he couldn't find a rebuttal, so he could only stand by in embarrassment.
Seeing the atmosphere like this, the queen quickly stood up: "Queen Mother, it's better to forget about this matter, if the queen mother really doesn't lose her anger, how about letting Ming'er apologize to Princess Ji?" ”
But it's not that the queen is willing to help the virtuous concubine speak, she is now so that the emperor can see her virtuous and generous, in order to make a good impression in front of the emperor, in other words, she is speaking for the emperor.
Sure enough, as soon as the words came out, the emperor's eyes looked at the queen with appreciation in his eyes.
"You ...... You guys...... This is a mourning home! Seeing that the queen also interceded for the virtuous concubine, the queen mother was even more angry in her heart, and her hands were trembling when she pointed at them.
Concubine Xian was proud at this time, but she was still respectful and polite to the Queen Mother, and she looked pitiful: "Queen Mother, if you are really not angry, the concubine will let Ming'er apologize to Princess Ji." ”
Seeing her behave like this, the queen's heart was a little disdainful, but the emperor was very distressed, and her originally wavering heart also became firm: "Queen Mother, it's not a big deal, don't be angry." ”
Listening to their words, the Queen Mother couldn't hold back any longer, gasped for breath, and finally her eyes went dark and she fainted directly.
The emperor, who was originally going to persuade the queen mother, was startled, and immediately supported the queen mother: "Queen Mother, how are you, Queen Mother?" ”
