Chapter 43: Ita's Tricks
Just when Zhao Shengrong was talking to He Lan, Yi Tian had already come to the Queen Mother's Shou'an Palace, he saw Zhou Wei, stepped forward to salute, and then said with a smile, "The slave has seen Gonggong Zhou." ”
Zhou Wei glanced at Yi Tian, nodded, and then asked, "Is there something wrong with Grandpa Yi coming to the Queen Mother today?" "He used to be a little eunuch under him, and he was later recruited by the Queen Mother, so he was not very polite to Yitian, after all, he served the Queen Mother at this time.
"It's about He Lan, I don't know if the Queen Mother can think about it?" Because Ida has experienced a lot, he is naturally much thicker-skinned, so he pretends not to see the other party's contemptuous gaze.
"He Lan's matter, it's not for us to be slaves, you go back, if the Queen Mother really needs it, the miscellaneous family will call you." Zhou Wei naturally didn't want to talk to him more.
"Father-in-law Zhou, if you don't say it now, I'm afraid it's too late...... The emperor asked people to take a break from the court early this morning, and it was still three days, if these three days passed, I am afraid it would ...... It's going to delay the Queen Mother's affairs. In case three days later, that He Lan will become a ......"
"Become what?" Zhou Wei saw that Yi Tian deliberately didn't say anything in the end, so he asked again.
"The slave doesn't dare to speculate, only to tell the Queen Mother." Ita said slowly.
"You wait outside, and the miscellaneous family will come in and ask." Zhou Wei said, and then entered the house again.
"The Queen Mother, there is Yitian Yi's father-in-law waiting outside, saying that the emperor will be suspended early this morning, it is said that it is still three days, and it seems that he also called Deputy Chief He early, I don't know what it means. Father-in-law Yi said that if it is three days later, I am afraid that the sky will change......" Zhou Wei had just said this, and Mama Zhu immediately shouted, "Bold, dare to say that you want to change the sky?" ”
"Niangniang spares her life, this is not what the slave wants to say, it is Ita who said, the slave asked him, and he said that he was just worried about ......"
"Mama Zhu, let Yitian come in." Shan Yu Caitian raised his hand and motioned to call someone in.
"Yes." Mama Zhu nodded, and then went out, "Grandpa Yi, the old lady of the Queen Mother let you in, be careful when you speak." The last sentence is a deliberate reminder.
"The slave understands, trouble the grandmother to lead the way." Ita said with his head bowed.
"It's good to understand."
Mama Zhu came in first, and after saluting the Queen Mother, she stood on the right side of the Queen Mother again, but Yitian knelt down and saluted, shouting in his mouth, "The slave has seen the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother Chitose Chitose Chitose!" ”
"Calm down, I don't know what happened to the mourning family today?" Shan Yu Caitian pretended not to understand.
"It's about He Lan. I don't know if the Queen Mother is willing to abandon ......" Ita actually wants to tell the secret, or his own thoughts, and he doesn't want others to know, so he wants to only let himself and the Queen Mother know, and don't want others to know.
"Don't worry, Zhou Wei and Mama Zhu are both mourning people. Therefore, as long as you say it, no one will say it without the permission of the mourning family. Shan Yu Caitian waved his hand.
Seeing the Queen Mother say this, Yi Tian had no choice but to speak, "Niangniang, the slave thinks that this He Lan is a ...... Disaster in disguise. You see, she has not yet become a concubine, so let the emperor take a break for three days, if she becomes a concubine, at that time, I am afraid that the mother will ......"
"What do you say? The emperor took a three-day break? For He Lan?! When Shan Yu Caitian heard this, he couldn't help but stare at him and asked rhetorically.
"Yes." Beads of sweat oozed from Ita's forehead.
"You seem to have forgotten that the harem can't be in politics? Therefore, no matter how much the mourning family is the emperor's mother, they can't do political affairs. Shan Yu Caitian said coldly.
"Mother, what the slave said is not a political matter, but a ...... The matter of the harem. The slave is afraid that something will happen to the harem, in case the emperor wants to accept He Lan as a concubine, at that time, the emperor will favor her again, and if three thousand favors are gathered into one, maybe the harem may have to change...... , plus with someone's ...... The inside and outside should be combined, I am afraid that the emperor's throne will not be guaranteed. Ita cautiously mentioned the "throne".
"Yitian, you are provoking the love between the mourning family and the emperor's mother and son." Shan Yu Caitian's hand couldn't help but tremble for a moment, and then calmed down, and his seemingly flat tone frightened Ita Khan more than once.
"Niangniang, the slave is thinking about the royal family, and it is precisely because of this that he came to tell Niangniang. Niangniang, the minion's life was saved by Niangniang, so the minion came to ...... to Niangniang" Ita said kowtowing.
"Mama Zhu, you go and investigate, or ask Zhou Quan next to see the emperor's intentions, and what He Lan means by that girl." Shan Yu Caitian raised his hand again, stopping Ita from continuing, and instead ordered Mama Zhu to get up.
"Yes, the old slave will do it." Mama Zhu nodded, and then bent down and exited the Queen Mother's bedroom.
"You just wait here, wait for Mama Zhu to come. Zhou Wei, you go to the imperial dining room to see what He Lan is busy with. Shan Yu Caitian instructed one by one.
"Slaves obey!" The two of them answered one by one, Yitian stayed, and Zhou Wei glanced at Yitian before leaving.
Half an hour later, Mama Zhu came back first, "Back to Niangniang, the old slave has made it clear." Do you want to listen to it? ”
"Say it." Shan Yu Caitian nodded.
According to Gonggong Zhou, when the emperor ordered He Lan to go in, he was also instructed by the emperor to go out, but when He Lan went out, the emperor said...... He Lan rejected the emperor's proposal, and it seemed that she was extremely angry. Mama Zhu said slowly.
"What is the emperor's proposal?" Shan Yu Caitian asked, could it be that the level is too low, and He Lan is unwilling?
“…… Niangniang, it is the position of the next level in addition to the queen, that is to say, ......" Hearing this, Yi Tian couldn't help but interject, "Imperial concubine!! ”
Mama Zhu glared at Yi Tian, and Yi Tian sneered, "Mama, it's a slave who is too talkative." The palm mouth. "I was going to slap my mouth, but I was stopped by the Queen Mother, "Don't let the mourning family show blood in front of you, stop it for the time being." ”
"Yes."
"The rank of the imperial concubine is high, although He Lan has no merit, it will not be like this, so why did she refuse? Do you want to be a queen? However, this queen cannot be easily replaced. Shan Yu Caitian asked.
The old slave also asked Zhou Quan's father-in-law to come, and he said he didn't know, because the emperor had been asking him to find someone to persuade He Lan. But Zhou Quan's father-in-law doesn't know who to look for, so he is still embarrassed, I don't know what the queen mother's opinion is? ”
When Yi Tian heard this, he interjected, "Presumably He Lan wants to capture the old man, if not, how can he attract the emperor's attention?" If it weren't for that, how could you make such a fragrant meal so casually. ”
"It's possible." Mama Zhu didn't affirm it, but just echoed it.
"Want to get away with it?!" Shan Yu Caitian repeated, and at this moment, Zhou Wei also returned.
"How?"
"The slave went to see it just now, He Lan was resting in her Qinghe Garden, and her maid was busy cooking...... By the way, there is also a royal doctor who said that he was going to see He Lan, but she was driven outside, saying that he was not sick, but that he was a little uncomfortable for a while, and that he said that women often have ......"
Mama Zhu suddenly understood, and hurriedly whispered in the Queen Mother's ear, "It may be He Lan's menstrual affair." ”
"What is He Lan asking her little girl to cook?" Shan Yu Caitian asked.
"It seems to be called ginger sugar tea." At this moment, Liu Feiping's voice came from outside, "Queen Mother, the slave brought ginger candy tea to Niangniang." ”
"Let Yanagiko in." Shan Yu Caitian waved his hand, and then silenced the others.
Liu Feiping walked in, and after saluting, he said, "Deputy Chief He said that this ginger sugar tea is for women to drink, in addition to curing stomach pain, it can also make people feel comfortable to drink, especially in the impermeable harem, it may also have a cold and fever, and it can also be treated, especially if a woman drinks it, it will be better." With that, Liu Feiping carefully handed a bottle of ginger candy tea to Mama Zhu.
Mama Zhu opened it and smelled it, and a spicy ginger smell appeared, and she nodded to the Queen Mother.
Shan Yu Caitian asked, "How to drink this ginger candy tea?" ”
"Back to Niangniang's words, Master He said, dig a spoonful with a spoon, then put it in a cup, then rinse it with boiling water, stir well, and you can drink it." Liu Feiping said very calmly.
"Why didn't He Lan come?" Shan Yu Caitian asked.
"This ...... She's a little uncomfortable, maybe that's the ...... The matter came, so she said that she didn't want the queen mother to worry too much about her, so she asked the slave to come and deliver something. Liu Fei said slowly. Thinking of what happened just now, his face turned crimson, and he remembered that when He Lan ran back quickly, he found him and blurted out, "Is there a sanitary napkin?" Instead, he was stunned for a long time. If Feng'er hadn't pulled her back to Qinghe Garden, she might still be looking for something.
When Feng'er boiled the ginger sugar tea and served it to He Lan, He Lan remembered what she had said the day before, and asked Feng'er to make a few more bottles and give them to everyone in the palace, regardless of whether they are high or low, whether they are men or women, as long as they are people, they must have them. That's why he came to deliver this.
"Do you know that He Lan was edicted by the emperor today?" Shan Yu Caitian asked.
"I know a little bit, but Lord He didn't mention it when he went back, so the slave didn't dare to ask." It's not that he doesn't dare to ask, but he doesn't want to ask, or he wants her to have a good rest, he treats her as his own sister.
"Then the mourning family tells you that the emperor wants to accept her as the imperial concubine!" Shan Yu Caitian's tone was extremely calm, but Liu Feiping could see that the Queen Mother was not really calm, but a little angry, no matter how great the credit was, she couldn't tolerate a person in the imperial dining room to be the imperial concubine.
"Queen Mother, the slave still has to be busy, so I can't stay for a long time." Liu Feiping did not answer positively, but took the opportunity to propose to leave.
"Go ahead."
"The minions are gone."
After seeing Liu Feiping leave, Zhou Wei asked, "Niangniang, what did you tell Liu Feiping to do?" ”
The mourning family wanted to know what He Lan was thinking. I didn't expect this little willow to be so shrewd, he didn't have any expression, nor did he have any words, but walked away so indifferently. ”
"Niangniang, maybe this is really her desire to capture the past, if the emperor doesn't make her queen, maybe she will stop sending meals, this is ...... to the queen and the royal family" Ita said again.
"And what do you want to do?" Shan Yu Caitian coldly interrupted Ita's words and asked rhetorically.
"Why don't you come to the mother?!" Ita smiled slightly.
"What do you mean?"
"It's that Niangniang is looking for someone to pretend to persuade He Lan to let her agree to the emperor's will, and then ...... Come back and tell Niangniang to see what He Lan means. If she really did it on purpose, at that time, Niangniang could take her down in one fell swoop, and she could also make her a fish in her own hands. At that time, let the mother slaughter. ”
"Who do you think is going to persuade the suitable?" Shan Yu Caitian couldn't help but nodded and asked again.
"This ...... The minions did not dare to say. ”
