Chapter 67: King Zhao and Pray
After following this group of people for a long time, Su Ruhui suddenly found that there was actually a sweet beauty among the people who were left behind, and hurriedly moved his footsteps to his side, and whispered: "What's going on?" ”
She thought that Ganmei might not be able to pay attention to herself, but she didn't expect that she underestimated Luscious belly, Lumei looked up at her, and said in a low voice: "King An and King Jiang said that they drank too much wine and wanted to come out and go around, and they happened to meet the prince's brother, so they led the way for them." ”
Although Su Ruhui, King An and King Jiang did not know each other, they also knew that they were all half-brothers of Emperor Changtai, among which King An was four years older than Changtai, but King Jiang was one year younger than Changtai.
Su Ruhua thought that the first person to ask questions should be King Jiang, and the older man in the crowd in Chinese clothes should be King An. She couldn't help but wonder: "Then why did you come with you?" ”
Gan Mei glanced at her and said briefly: "The feast is boring, since you have met, you will follow the prince." ”
Su Ruhui thought about it, but understood a little, although Lumei is the prince, and occasions like tonight must be attended, but Ganmei is obviously not favored and valued, and even the Queen Mother, who has always been fond of the emperors and grandchildren, only asks a word or two on festivals, usually they are not summoned, and tonight's banquet, although Lumei attends, I am afraid that the wine and food will also be extremely neglected, and there will not be a few people around him to talk to him.
It's better to avoid being embarrassed than to be in that kind of place.
The group wandered around in the imperial garden, and found a rockery, King An proposed to go up and sit down, so he first sent a few internal supervisors to check, and reported that the snow in the pavilion on the rockery had already been cleared, so they climbed up one after another.
This kind of scene, once you sit down, you have to say a little bit of wind and snow.
In addition, Gu Liancheng was there, so everyone coaxed Gu Liancheng to improvise a poem, but Gu Liancheng blindly excused himself, and the noisy scene made Zhou Yier and Su Ruhua feel a little dizzy. However, there were not only the two of them in the crowd, but also a few county lords who came to see them with their father and brother, looking at Gu Liancheng and the prince with bright eyes, two people with excellent descriptions, and they were entangled to see their literary talents.
These county lords were entangled and dragged Zhou Yi'er and Su Ruhui, Su Ruhui felt bored, but at this time, someone came to say: "The banquet in Weiyang Palace has been dispersed, and all the queens, county lords, and women have begun to retire!" ”
Su Ruhua was overjoyed, but Zhou Yi'er hesitated a little before reacting, quietly glanced at Gu Liancheng, and the two hurriedly left.
There was a lot of excitement in the pavilion, and suddenly such a message came, and I couldn't help but feel disappointed, but I heard Jiang Wangqi say: "Why did the banquet in the queen's place disperse so quickly?" ”
This question was not remembered until Su Ruhui and Zhou Yi'er identified their mother from the bustling crowd in front of the gate of Weiyang Palace, but most of the noble ladies and noblewomen they saw were solemn, with few words and smiles, all of which were secretly bad in their hearts.
"Mother!" Mrs. Shunzhang came out first, Zhou Yi'er saw it, and hurriedly shouted, lifted her skirt and ran a few steps quickly, before she remembered her demeanor and beckoned Mrs. Shunzhang to the side to talk.
With the light in front of Weiyang Palace, Su Ruhui saw that Mrs. Shunzhangjun's face was a little gray, I don't know if she was reprimanded by the queen, but this is also a normal thing, the last time Zhou Qingran met the queen mother, it was Mrs. Shunzhangjun who threaded the needle from it, and for this reason, Mrs. Shunzhangjun hid it so tightly from the queen, and it was strange that Queen Zhou felt better.
Even if it doesn't do well for the sake of the family, it's inevitable to be beaten in private.
After waiting for a long time, I finally saw Mrs. Zheng Yejun.
Su Ruhui was overjoyed to greet her, but was gently patted on the back of her hand by Mrs. Zheng Yejun, and said in a low voice: "This is not the place to talk, come." ”
Su Ruhui was more familiar with the terrain in the palace than Mrs. Zheng Yejun, and led her mother to a pavilion near Weiyang Palace to take shelter from the wind, and ordered Xiuwan and Hongluan to guard outside, only to find that Mrs. Zheng Yejun's face was solemn, her heart was shocked, and she hurriedly said: "Mother! What's wrong? ”
"Don't worry, my son, it has nothing to do with our family and you." Seeing this, Mrs. Zheng Yejun hurriedly reassured, "It's a royal matter, and my mother feels a little unhappy when she sees it." ”
"What's the matter?"
"Something happened at the feast, and the queen called for an early break." A trace of anger rose between Mrs. Zheng Yejun's eyebrows, and she said, "This matter should not enter the ears of women, and if you hear the wind in the future, don't say much." ”
"If the mother doesn't say it, what does the daughter know?" Su Ruhui hurriedly said, "Besides, there are only you and my mother and daughter here, what does my mother have to worry about?" ”
Mrs. Zheng Yejun sighed: "Does Xin Cairen know? ”
"Nature." Su Ruhui suddenly thought of something, and exclaimed, "Could it be? ”
"Her imperial heir is gone, just now at the banquet, the imperial doctor summoned by the queen found the abortion medicine in the food she ate, and this medicine is not in the dishes of the feast, but Xin Cairen has severe morning sickness these days, so let the palace people around him often bring some pickled plum preserves, which are in the candied fruit, according to the imperial doctor's examination, Xin Cairen has been taking the plum for at least half a month, and it just so happens that the dishes eaten by Xin Cairen today are a little cold, and the two are combined, and they are red on the spot!"
Mrs. Zheng Yejun's face was ugly, and her tone was quite cold, I don't know if she thought that her daughter was also in such a palace, and most of them would marry here in the future.
Several county lords present were so frightened that they screamed in fright, and they were pulled to the side hall by the queens in their arms, but they were afraid that they would not be able to walk with weak feet. After checking the general situation, the queen ordered that she should not make a noise for the time being, and would announce it after the Lantern Festival, but there were so many people present tonight that it was impossible to hide it. ”
Su Ruhui gasped, and only after a while did she say in a trembling voice: "Queen Zhou......"
"The queen was so angry that the imperial doctor didn't come up in one breath after the results were tested, and fainted on the spot." Mrs. Zheng Yejun sighed, "Concubine Huo was also frightened, or was Concubine Shen Shu from a family after all, so she was calm and calm, and commanded the imperial doctor to carry the queen and Xin Cairen down for treatment first, and then let people save those problematic plums, and take all the people in Yiying Palace around Xin Cairen into custody." After this busy time, the queen was finally woken up by the imperial doctor's needle, and forcibly ordered us not to spread the word - poor Queen Zhou, the rumors were enough to make her upset, but now that such a thing has been added, but it really wants to make the queen mother angry. ”
Su Ruhua froze and said in a low voice: "Mother thinks who probably did this?" ”
Mrs. Zheng Yejun was surprised: "How do I know this?" She thought for a while and said, "According to common sense, Xin Cairen is a pregnant concubine in the harem since the birth of the fifth son of the emperor, and it is said that the queen mother also specially gave a seat when she was born, and it should be checked from the palace concubine who hated her." ”
Mrs. Zheng Yejun said this but didn't say it anymore, Su Ruhui understood and said, "But it's not the case. ”
"This matter is too involved, you don't have to worry about it too much, anyway, it has nothing to do with our family and you." Mrs. Zheng Yejun advised, "You and the princes are still young, since this matter is here, you might as well take a look at whether Zhou Zhizi has the ability to protect her son's position as the crown prince!" ”
Su Ruhui nodded: "Mother, there is something I want to ask you for an idea." Saying that, he roughly talked about the affairs of the Song family, and said, "Now that the rumors are put on the abolition of the queen, but the Ye family escaped, then Song Caisu turned the crisis into a safe ......."
"Hmph, turn the corner?" Mrs. Zheng Yejun interrupted, "You should know whether there is peace or not just by looking at the recent actions of the Song family!" ”
Su Ruhui thought about it, pursed her lips and smiled: "My mother is still sober, but I am confused." ”
"You're still young, so it's inevitable that there will be something you can't think of." Mrs. Zheng Yejun said, "The Song family has begun to get tired of Song Ying, and such a big thing has never been revealed to him, just because Song Ying refuses to let go, but the Song family also has the intention of taking the opportunity to let Song Caisu do it." You don't have to worry too much about this person, but focus on serving the Queen Mother well, you must know that the Queen Mother's attitude is the most important thing. ”
"Mother, don't worry, I'll take care of myself." Su Ruhui nodded in agreement, and then sent Mrs. Zheng Yejun out.
Not long after the mother and daughter walked along the palace road, Su Ruhui was stopped, and the front was already an outer court, so she shouldn't go any further. Su Ruhui nodded and said goodbye to Mrs. Zheng Yejun.
At this moment, a sedan chair came over next to him, and the person inside suddenly opened the curtain and said, "Who is in front?" ”
Mrs. Zheng Yejun and Su Ruhui heard the voice, Mrs. Zheng Yejun opened her sleeves to cover her daughter's appearance, and said lightly: "The concubine is the wife of Wudehou, and she is named Mrs. Zheng Yejun's Su An, dare to ask who is in the sedan chair?" ”
"Lone is King Zhao and pray." The sedan curtain was half rolled, revealing a middle-aged man in his forties, his face was full of excessive tiredness of wine, his eyes swept An's beautiful appearance, and he suddenly showed a coveted look, but when he thought of Qingzhou Su and Wu Dehou, he still pressed it, but put his eyes on the slender and beautiful Hongluan on the side, hehe, smiled, and said, "Madame, how about the lonely king want to ask you for a favor?" ”
Without waiting for Mrs. Zheng Yejun to answer, he pointed to Hongluan: "The handmaid beside Mrs. Gu Wang likes it very much, why don't you give it to Gu Wang?" ”
Mrs. Zheng Yejun was stunned, Hongluan's face turned red, and she hung her head angrily!
