Chapter 102: Dedication
As soon as she heard the Queen Mother take the initiative to ask about this, Concubine Cui immediately said what she had been holding back for a long time.
"Yes, Queen Mother! That's her! Now the queen is very favored! Not only did he snatch His Majesty from the concubine Niangniang three times, but the means were also very vigorous. ”
As soon as she said this, she instantly regretted it!
Oops!
She made her purpose too obvious.
Sure enough, after the Queen Mother heard her words, she slowly lowered her eyes with a deterrent effect on Concubine Cui's face.
Concubine Cui immediately explained: "The Queen Mother forgives her sins!" It's the concubine who speaks wrong, Your Majesty is the Ninety-Five, so naturally he can go wherever he wants. ”
Hearing this, the Queen Mother took her eyes off her face.
It's just that it is clear that the Queen Mother is beginning to be interested in this topic.
"When this queen just ascended the throne, the mourning family heard about her, what did she say about mediocre and uneducated?" The Queen Mother frowned, as if she was trying to think of something.
"This point, the concubine doesn't know very well, it's just that the queen mother has a lively temperament, and when you see her in a few days, you can have a good chat with the queen, after all, I haven't seen her for a long time."
Concubine Cui deliberately excluded herself, and did not forget to give Fei Ranchu some hatred points.
Sure enough, after hearing these words, the Queen Mother looked disdainful.
She picked up the scissors and reached out to cut the most vigorous flower on the pot, and the flower immediately fell to the ground.
Concubine Cui looked at it and suddenly suffocated in her heart, and she didn't dare to speak in an instant.
I only heard the Queen Mother say in her contemptuous voice at this time:
"Huh! Women should be calm and virtuous, as a queen, she doesn't lead by example, but also competes with concubines for favor, it's really ...... Ay! ”
Next, the Queen Mother never talked about the queen again, but Concubine Cui knew that her goal had been achieved.
The queen mother hasn't seen the queen for so long, but she is already in her heart, and she has lowered the status of the queen to a position that cannot be lowered, which is already an unexpected harvest!
Now let's see how wonderful it will be on the day of the Queen Mother's birthday!
……
The queen mother in the palace is going to celebrate her fiftieth birthday, and the whole country celebrates.
The emperor took this opportunity to grant amnesty to the world, released many prisoners in the prison, opened a porridge factory in the people, and donated incense money to the temple, in order to pray for the queen mother.
All of a sudden, the folk were singing the praises of the Queen Mother's virtues, and they were naturally very concerned about the Queen Mother's birthday three days later.
In the circle of dignitaries and nobles, what are the gifts that have begun to flow to each other.
After the gift is delivered to the palace, it is natural that it can not be taken out again, so in order to expand their momentum first, people will give priority to spreading how precious the gift they give is among the people, so as to compare.
As a civil official family, the Zhang family does not give special precious treasures when it comes to important days, unlike other families who give them particularly precious treasures, and what they send is generally priceless authentic works that have long been lost.
Zhang Shan had been prepared for this for a long time, and the moment the news was released in the palace, he began to search, and finally found a copy of Shakyani's Buddhist scriptures.
The Queen Mother believes in Buddhism, and such treasures naturally cannot be more precious!
On this day, Zhang Shan called his daughter over in the study.
Since that incident, Zhang Yilu's state has been very low, so even if her father sent someone to call her, she was late.
"My daughter has said that she doesn't have much to do, why does her father bother her daughter all day long!" After Zhang Yilu arrived in the study, she stomped her feet and said this sentence first.
In this regard, Zhang Shan is helpless, who let this daughter be spoiled by him since she was a child, even if she has some small temperament, he feels nothing, and even feels distressed because of that incident.
He walked to Zhang Yilu's side, put his arm around her shoulders, pressed her to his chair, and then put the box containing the Buddhist scriptures in her hand as if offering a treasure.
Zhang Yilu thought that he was going to give some kind of gift to make himself happy, so he didn't care about throwing things on the table, Zhang Shan was immediately so frightened that his hairs stood up, and he hurriedly picked up the box.
"What are you doing here?"
"There is no shortage of treasures for daughters, and fathers don't have to give them anymore!" Zhang Yilu turned his head and said.
In fact, she still has some resentment towards her father in her heart.
If my father could have handled that matter properly, I might have become a mother in the palace by now.
And now she is still riddled with scandals, and she is used by those lowly people every day to talk about cooking and talking, and she doesn't even dare to go out.
Zhang Shan looked at her with hatred and said, "This thing is the true work of Shakyani's Buddhist scriptures."
"My daughter doesn't believe in Buddhism, is my father confused?" At this moment, Zhang Yilu has not thought of the big event that is going to happen recently, and she still looks disapproving.
"In a few days is the birthday of the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother believes in Buddhism, no matter how many treasures she has to give, it will be difficult for her to smile, if you can give this hard-to-find authentic work to the Queen Mother, I think the Queen Mother will definitely like it."
After her father's reminder, Zhang Yilu stood up as if she suddenly thought of something.
"Father means to let his daughter personally hand over this thing to the Queen Mother?"
"That's right!" Zhang Shan carefully put the box on the table, and then pressed Zhang Yilu to the chair and patiently explained to her.
"Although the queen mother has lived in the deep palace for a long time, regardless of the harem, she is still the queen mother of a country after all, if you can win a good impression in front of the queen mother in advance, then the matter of entering the palace in the future will be nine out of ten!"
When he said this, Zhang Shan suddenly became guilty, he touched Zhang Yilu's head, and said with infinite embarrassment: "It's not good for my father, I didn't settle that matter, so I delayed your time to enter the palace, and my father was also put on the county lord's position, this time it's up to you!"
Zhang Yilu was silent for a long time because of his words.
She thought that she would not be able to turn over for the rest of her life because of that scandal, but she didn't expect this opportunity to appear in front of her eyes again, how could this not make her heart move?
Thinking of this, Zhang Yilu instantly became excited.
She jumped up, grabbed Zhang Shan's hand, and asked expectantly: "If the Queen Mother likes her daughter, then her daughter must be able to enter the palace in the future, right?"
"My daughter is so lovely, as long as she enters the palace and doesn't have to worry about being favored, now we just need to have a good relationship with the Queen Mother!"
