Chapter 168: The Queen Arrives
Gao Feng's face was very ugly, and Niangniang was already very harsh when she said this, and she didn't give any face. In the past, he must have been jealous when he heard it, but he couldn't hate the woman in front of him at all.
has never served by the emperor's side, and no one can imagine the extent to which this woman is favored. That's really holding it in your hand for fear of falling, and holding it in your mouth for fear of breaking, it's not an exaggeration to say that it's the tip of your majesty's heart.
Such a son of heaven who is not afraid of heaven and earth, is as well-behaved as a kitten in front of her, do you dare to hate such a woman? It's all a sin to think about it in your heart, okay?!
And I also understand her hard work, no matter how ruthless he Gao Feng is, he can't hate a person who cares for him. So he could only be reprimanded by his own mother, with a respectful smile like a son, and flattered: "The slave is stupid, you shouldn't think about it, don't be angry." ”
"Ugh."
Jian Ning shook her head, "If you really want to think for me, find some clever people for me." This is the best who can read, and if you don't know how to read, it's good to be clever or honest to give me a hand. ”
"Yes, yes, the slave must choose a good choice for the mother, and don't let the mother worry about it."
"Just you can talk."
Jian Ning pretended to be coquettish, "Okay, wipe the sweat, do things well in the future, when you are good." ”
Gao Feng suddenly became angry, and he made a fuss, like a monkey, looking quite funny.
"Move a stool for Yueniang and sit down."
"Slaves don't dare."
Yueniang hurriedly shook her head, "It's good for the slave to kneel." ”
"The weather is cold, and I'm afraid I'm going to kneel like this."
Seeing that Yueniang was frightened, she said, "Okay, go get a soft cushion and let her pad it." ”
"Thank you for your grace!"
"Can you read?"
Jian Ning suddenly asked, "I see that you talk like you've read a book for a few years." ”
"Niangniang Mingjian......"
Yueniang kowtowed again, "Before the slave maid entered the palace, there was an old boy in the countryside who lived next door to my house. He also has no children, and his daughter-in-law is long gone, so my father and mother see that he is pitiful, so they often help him cook some food and take care of him. The old gentleman who read the books of the saints did not want to take advantage of us, so he often taught me and my younger brother to read and write. ”
Yueniang's sad face finally had a little brilliance, her lips pursed slightly, and something called happiness overflowed from the corners of her mouth unconsciously, making Yueniang very beautiful at this moment.
"My brother is more competitive than me, he knows more words, although he didn't get into Xiucai, but now he is the envy of his neighbors as a bookkeeper."
Jian Ning nodded and said to everyone: "Did you hear that?" I teach you to read and write on weekdays, and reading can change your fate! ”
Yueniang's heart moved, this sentence touched her a little, and she dared to ask: "Niangniang...... Female, can a woman do the same? ”
"Why not?"
Jian Ning smiled, "You know how to read and write, and when you return to your hometown after leaving the palace, you will be more dignified than the average palace person." If you can recognize some words and understand some of the sage's truths, then there will be a lot of people who will be invited to the west when you go back, so you are afraid that you will starve to death? But if you don't know how to read, it's hard to say, after all, why don't I choose if I have a good choice? ”
A group of palace people were thoughtful, but they felt that Niangniang's words were too reasonable. But the eunuchs have an inner study hall, where should they go if the palace maids want to learn knowledge? I heard that Niangniang is looking for someone to work, just a eunuch?
A group of people were full of thoughts, and Aunt Wu looked at Jian Ning with a complicated expression.
Why do you always feel as if the master is planning something?
After Jian Ning's questioning, Zhao Yueniang's mood also stabilized a lot, and after the queen came in, although she trembled, she was much better than before.
"The concubine asks the queen mother to say goodbye, and the queen mother is blessed with gold."
"Sister doesn't have to be polite."
The queen's face was a little unsightly. In the past two years, the Queen Mother has not been in charge of affairs, and has handed over the affairs of the Six Palaces to her. She is not favored by her husband, and she has no children, and the only bit of fun is on this.
I just heard that someone came to report it, and after asking about it, I was angry at the moment. After the anger is over, there is a wave of panic.
If Your Majesty learns of this, will she be okay? What is it?! In this imperial garden, a eunuch dares to do such a thing to the palace maid, who knows if it will be unfavorable to the master one day? Thinking of this, the queen was afraid for a while, and she didn't care about eating her peach gum and white fungus soup, so she put down the bowl and rushed over immediately.
"Sister, can you ask clearly? What the hell is going on? ”
"The matter involves the palace law, and my sister doesn't dare to ask in private, so I wait for my sister to make the decision."
As he spoke, he gave Gao Feng a look, Gao Feng was busy crying and kneeling, and said, "Queen Mother, the slave is guilty, the slave is guilty!" The slave and maid are guilty of negligence, please punish the queen! ”
"What's going on?"
Xia frowned, "Can you find out who did it?" ”
"Mother's ......"
Gao Feng wiped his tears and said miserably: "There was a small promise to say that someone forced him to eat, and the slave maid felt that the matter was big and did not report it immediately, so he thought that the status of the person who could do this would not be low, and he would inevitably startle the snake, so the slave and maid wanted to take a look secretly...... No, I didn't think about it, today, let Concubine Mu meet today! Woo, the slave is guilty, making people pollute the eyes of nobles, please condemn the mother! Damn it! ”
"That's it!"
Xia Shi was a little impatient, "Please don't ask for guilt and say later, is it you?" ”
She looked at Yueniang, "Who the hell is it?!" ”
"The Emperor, the Queen Mother......"
Yueniang became timid again. The father-in-law over there is the queen's eunuch in charge of the palace, if he says it, will the queen's mother really administer justice for herself?
"Sister, this kind of thing damages the innocence of my daughter's family, although that person is a eunuch, but in the end...... Why don't my sister send everyone out of the palace and let her say it in private? ”
"My sister is doing things safely, so I will do what my sister says."
"The concubine also retired."
Jian Ning got up and blessed, and the queen was anxious, "Sister, don't go!" ”
It's leaving, but it's not clear.
"My sister is the biological mother of the prince, and she is a witness, so she is not an irrelevant person. This palace can trust you, so my sister will stay and listen to it with this palace. ”
"So ......"
Jian Ning pretended to hesitate, and only nodded after a few breaths, "Then my sister will accompany my sister to listen." ”
"That's right."
After everyone left, the queen said, "Can you say it now?" ”
Yueniang subconsciously looked at Jian Ning, and Jian Ning said gently: "The queen is the lord of the six palaces, and everyone knows the name of virtue. Don't be afraid, the mother will do justice for you. ”
gave Yueniang an encouraging look, Yueniang thought about it, this matter can't be good today, so she gritted her teeth, "bang", kowtowed, and cried: "Yes, it's Father-in-law...... He, he wanted to eat with the slave and the maid, but the slave and the maid did not want to ...... He, he ...... Niangniang, please ask the queen to call the shots! ”
"You? Say whom? ”
Xia was stunned, and Jian Ning also deliberately pretended to be stupid.
Father-in-law Bian is the queen's person, and she can't say this matter, otherwise the queen will have to fight with her.
The queen is a nice person, at least so far she has been kind to herself. She didn't want to have any conflict with such a person. However, it is not a trivial matter for the eunuch to insult the palace maid, and she can't avoid it when she encounters it.
In this case, it will take a little effort to deal with it, and you have to take care of the queen's face.
"You mean Bian Zhong?"
The queen's face turned hideous, "The beast you just came in with this palace?!" Wow! Hongu said why his face was suddenly so ugly, brute, brute! ”
Xia, who had always been mild-mannered, became very terrifying at this moment. She has nothing left, and the only thing that can still make her proud is the dignity of the queen. Now that your dignity has been swept away, how can you not be angry?
Xia is really angry! She married the Son of Heaven at the age of fifteen and has never been close to the Son of Heaven; When Liu Jin was in charge, she was frightened and couldn't sleep every day, and the queen of a country always looked at the faces of the eunuchs and carefully begged for a living. Although there was no shortage, it was a very unpleasant life.
At that time, Mo said that it was her, and even the queen mother who was high up was unsatisfactory. The entire inner court was controlled by Liu Jin's people, and it was not easy to survive Liu Jin, and the Queen Mother also let her be in charge, she no longer counted on her husband's favor, nor did she expect to have a child in her life. She only hopes to manage His Majesty's harem well, and in the future, she can have a good nickname, and leave a virtuous name in the history books of "treating concubines leniently, not arrogant or jealous", which is her only pleasure now!
But what's going on now?! In broad daylight, the people in his palace actually did such a thing to the palace maid?!
Rao is good-tempered, then I can't stand it!
"You have to think clearly!"
Jian Ning suddenly said sharply: "Father-in-law Bian is a person from Niangniang's palace, how can he ......?"
"Don't say it, sister......"
The queen gritted her teeth, "Gang Bizhu came to invite, this beast's face is not right, it must be him, it won't be wrong!" Bian Zhong! ”
She shouted, "Get in here for this palace!" ”
"Mother, mother......"
Bian Zhong came in trembling and fell directly to the ground, "Niangniang is wronged!" The slave and maid heard it outside, this girl and the slave maid are fellow countrymen, the slave and the maid only took care of her a few words, where would she have thought that she wanted to eat with the slave and maid! Woo, how dare a slave and a lowly person have such a dirty mind? ”
"How dare you quibble! You, say! Isn't it him?! ”
Yueniang wept, "Father-in-law Bian, are you still going to be cunning at this time?" ”
"You!"
Bian Zhong scolded: "You will be able to leave the palace soon, what kind of person can you find when you go home as a noble person who has served in the Forbidden City?!" Why did you bother to frame me, a miserable eunuch?! Yes, I have some family assets, but they are all rewarded by nobles, and I will use them to support my old age in the future, and I have no wealth to compare with you! Mother......
"That's a great point."
Jian Ning suddenly sneered, "You are not the chief eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch, why should Yueniang take the trouble of eating against you for the rest of her life?" Are you handsome? Or is there any talent? ”
Xia's face was extremely ugly, and he slapped the table and said, "It's not from the truth!" ”
"Mother, wronged ......"
"Come on, give me a slap!"
Two sturdy servants came in from outside the temple. Obviously, Xia came prepared. Come to think of it, if such a thing happens, it must be punished, don't you see that the servant woman even brought rattan?
"Slap Hongu in the face! See if he says it or not! ”
"Sister, wait......"
Xia was surprised, "Sister, this is?" ”
Jian Ning shook her head, "Sister, this matter must be handled in a low-key manner, or the palace people, not a word of what happened here can be leaked, this is a scandal, if Your Majesty knows, it will not be good for my sister......"
Xia Shi was moved, held Jian Ning's hand and said: "Sister, although you are favored, you have never been pampered and coquettish, and you have a lot of respect for me, I am very moved." It's just that the law is greater than the sky, and this matter can't be lightly revealed just because of the people around the palace...... Someone, give me a sentence. ”
Bian Zhong almost vomited blood!
I know that Concubine Mu is not a good thing! In a word, the slap directly turned into a punishment, this is to kill him!
