Chapter 100: Anger
The three of them were startled, thinking that it was Empress Dowager Cheng who was punishing the palace people, but they didn't expect to follow the prestige, only to see that Empress Dowager Cheng, who looked kind and kind before, had an angry face, and Mrs. Cheng's face was also not good-looking, and she was kneeling in front of Empress Dowager Cheng with low eyebrows.
Princess Changyang and Princess Anyang secretly exchanged a strange look, Empress Dowager Cheng has always been close to Mrs. Cheng, and she is willing to discuss anything with her younger siblings, or the first time they have seen her angry at Mrs. Cheng, but I don't know what the two said to cause her to make such a fire.
"Mother," Cheng Jin walked over, didn't ask a word, and knelt beside Mrs. Cheng obediently, which was completely different from the lazy and coquettish appearance just now.
Mrs. Cheng's eyes turned red instantly, she didn't want to implicate Cheng Jin, but she never thought that this child was honest, and she actually bumped into it.
Cheng Jinbi knows what kind of place the palace is, the Son of Heaven is angry, the blood is drifting, although I don't know why the Empress Dowager Cheng is angry, but there is no family affection in the royal family, although the Empress Dowager Cheng is her aunt, but if she is angry, she will also show no mercy to them, at this moment, it is useless to plead, only obediently admit the punishment, let the Empress Dowager Cheng dissipate the current breath first, and the rest is easy to calculate.
Mrs. Cheng fell to the ground, her face was pale, and she swallowed tears into her heart, as a mother, she didn't ask for much, she didn't ask for her children to be rich and rich, she just wanted them to have a safe and smooth life, how could she bear to send her Sister Chan and Sister Jin into the palace, a place where people eat people and don't spit out bones?
"Uncle, why is the queen mother angry?" Princess Anyang asked curiously.
"It's the courtier's fault,......" Mrs. Cheng touched the ground with her head, but did not answer her words directly.
"Uncle, you and Ah Jin don't have to worry, the queen mother has always been lenient, and my aunt is my mother's family, so she will be fine after this burst, you can go home first." Princess Changyang persuaded.
The Queen Mother didn't speak inside, where did Mrs. Cheng and Cheng Jin dare to get up, still kneeling on the ground outside the door and not daring to move.
"Sister Huang, let's go in together to persuade the queen mother?" Princess Anyang couldn't bear it.
The two princesses went with the Empress Dowager Cheng, but Mrs. Cheng and Cheng Jin knelt outside the palace gate for nearly an hour before the Empress Dowager Cheng sent a message to let them out of the palace.
Mrs. Cheng thanked Cheng Jin with a disgraced face, and staggered when she got up, although Cheng Jin's body bones were good, she was restrained by the Gu worms in her body, and her face was also not good-looking, so she supported it all in one breath, gritted her teeth and hugged Mrs. Cheng into the car, and when the curtain was put down, she opened her mouth and asked in a low voice, "A-Niang, why is the Queen Mother embarrassed you?" ”
Mrs. Cheng's face was sad, and she touched Cheng Jin's face, but she looked at him left and right, "Ah Jin has finally grown up, and today you have been wronged." ”
Today's performance of Cheng Jin was completely beyond her expectations, Cheng Jin's calm attitude, dripping etiquette, where it was like entering the palace for the first time, it was the two princesses of the golden branches and jade leaves standing with her, they were not as graceful as her, she had such a bearing at a young age, and she would ...... in the future
Mrs. Cheng suddenly remembered what Master Yuanming said before, and was shocked, could it be that Cheng Jin was going to enter the palace when the master said that the great creation?
But the selection of a concubine after Emperor Longqing was established is a matter in front of him, and Cheng Jin is still young......
Mrs. Cheng has been immersed in the back house for many years, and she understands the bloody wind of the back house, and there are only a lot more dirty things in the palace, how the Empress Dowager Cheng laughed to the end among the concubines of the first emperor, and she witnessed it with her own eyes, she didn't even get involved in these things, and she also had innocent blood on her hands.
In those years, Empress Dowager Cheng was trembling, walking on thin ice, as long as she was not careful, she would lose everything.
How could she bear to let the delicate girl she held in the palm of her hand suffer like that?
The Empress Dowager Cheng was as kind as ever, but she was reminded by Mama Hu, and she was worried in her heart, so she just chatted with the Empress Dowager Cheng with a smiling face.
"I remember that Sister Chu'er is also sixteen, and she hasn't decided on anyone yet?" Empress Dowager Cheng asked as if unintentionally.
"Speaking of this, I really have a headache, you also know, over the years, I have looked left and right, always thinking about finding a good family for her, but I am always dissatisfied left and right, the family background is poorer, I am worried that she will be wronged when she marries, and the family background is better, and when the time comes, I may have to take a concubine and wronged her, and this is the case in my life, but she is still young, I expect her to find a husband who guards her wholeheartedly." Mrs. Cheng found an opportunity to show her heart, and hurriedly said excitedly.
Empress Dowager Cheng frowned slightly, "Fanghua, I won't hide it from you, Sister Chan is my in-law's niece, I originally wanted her to enter the palace, she has been top-notch since she was a child, and she has been familiar with the emperor since she was a child. ”
Mrs. Cheng immediately turned white, trembled her lips and said, "The concubine heard that the emperor is preparing to appoint Cui Xiang's granddaughter as the queen." ”
Today's Shoufu Cui Xian is from the Qinghe Cui family, after the famous family of Zheng'er Bajing, he has a strong reputation in Shilin and has many followers, and Emperor Longqing married Cui Xian's granddaughter, which is equivalent to stabilizing half of the country and realizing the smooth transition of power after the pro-government.
Empress Dowager Cheng's face sank, "Rumors are just rumors, and they haven't been decided yet, so don't follow the rumors." ”
Mrs. Cheng calmed down and carefully figured out what Empress Dowager Cheng meant, could it be that she was not satisfied with the daughter-in-law of the Cui family? But during the Chinese New Year, the palace gave a banquet, and she clearly treated the Cui daughter very affectionately, and I don't know when she started to be rude.
Although this Cui daughter is Cui Xiang's eldest granddaughter, she has lived with her parents in her hometown Qinghe since she was a child to serve the elders of the clan, until Emperor Longqing revealed that she wanted to make her the queen, Cui Xiang let her come to the capital in the name of visiting her grandparents.
Mrs. Cheng is not familiar with the Cui daughter who lives in a simple house, and she only thinks that the girl from a famous family behaves nobilly and magnificently, and now that she thinks about it carefully, the more reserved and graceful the Cui girl is, the more she is afraid that the Empress Dowager Cheng, who was born in a small family, will not like it.
Mother-in-law is probably this kind of mind, and she hopes that her daughter-in-law will be outstanding, but she is worried that her daughter-in-law will compare herself, not to mention that Empress Dowager Cheng is still young and energetic, where would she be willing to hand over the palace affairs in her hand to the Cui daughter with a deep background.
Mrs. Cheng thought about this section, and she was even more reluctant to let her daughter enter the palace to suffer, so she just stood aside with her eyebrows lowered and pleasing her eyes, and did not follow Empress Dowager Cheng's words.
Empress Dowager Cheng slowed down her expression, "Yu'er is the emperor, ordinary men still have three wives and four concubines, not to mention that he is the emperor, in addition to the queen, there are also four concubines, how glorious is the concubine of the Son of Heaven, how can ordinary people compare?" ”
