Chapter 148: Ultimate
The news of Wu Sanji's pregnancy spread in the harem at a cruel speed like an autumn wind sweeping away leaves.
The concubines of the harem can bite the handkerchief, smash the handkerchief, smash the things, and cry freely in the house.
Guan Rong was crying loudly and fell into his mother's arms.
Empress Dowager Guan sat on a high throne and looked at the silly and sweet mother and daughter helplessly.
She really couldn't imagine that Guan Rong was stupid, and her mother was so stupid.
She asked Guan Rong to call her, because she wanted her to persuade Guan Rong not to be extravagant and wasteful, to know how to be thrifty, and not to let them give their wealth to show off their wealth.
She felt that she had said it very clearly, and they must have understood the meaning, but she didn't expect that not only did they not understand it, but they also went in the opposite direction and never returned, sending themselves to the guillotine.
At this moment, she is not thinking about the future of their mother and daughter, but the reason why she has been losing to Queen Liu's mother and son for so many years.
In the past, she complained that God was unfair and her life was not good, but now she finally understands that it is not her bad life, but that she uses people inappropriately.
With such subordinates, no matter how capable she is, she is only lonely.
Guan Jinu can marry such an ignorant lady and give birth to such an ignorant girl, which shows that he himself is not very clever.
When Zhang'er is completely in power, it's time to replace these reckless men who don't know anything.
Empress Dowager Guan closed her eyes and began to think about the new queen.
According to the rules, the queen can only be selected from among the women of the people or the women of grassroots officials.
But now the situation is different, their mother and son need external forces to help them consolidate the throne, so this queen candidate is the best time to choose a backer, and it cannot be taken lightly.
"The Queen Mother, it's all this cold concubine, everything is her ghost, Niangniang, you have to be the master of Rong'er, she is your daughter-in-law." Mrs. Guan's eyes were red and swollen when she cried, and she knelt on the ground and begged her,
Empress Dowager Guan drooped her eyelids and sighed: "I can't blame others for this, I have to blame the emperor, it was because he climbed into the wrong bed, so it happened."
But after the emperor's son, this is a happy event, what kind of mourning are you crying out here in mourning, is it a bit excessive? ”
When the mother and daughter heard this, they stopped crying together and changed their expressions of disbelief and horror.
"Queen, you are the master of the harem, and all the affairs of the harem are handled by you, now that the concubines are happy, what should you do, don't you still want to mourn your family?" Empress Dowager Guan asked coldly.
Guan Rong's face turned yellow, and he nodded timidly: "If you return to your mother, your son knows." ”
"It's good to know, why don't you do things quickly? Do you have to wait for the old stubborns of Guanglu Temple to urge you to do it? Empress Dowager Guan said with a straight face.
Guan Rong agreed and withdrew.
Mrs. Guan watched her daughter walk out of the door, looked back at the Empress Dowager Guan, and said in an aggrieved voice: "Niangniang, a few days ago, you called the concubine to come, didn't you tell the concubine that you wanted to help the emperor share state affairs and reduce the burden on the emperor?" Why are you unhappy again? ”
Empress Dowager Guan glanced at her hatefully, stood up, pointed to the clothes on her body, and then pointed to the clothes on her body, and her voice was as cold as ice: "Mrs. Guan, I am the biological mother of the emperor, but I wear one tael of silver and one foot of silk, and you, but the wife of a courtier, are wearing ten taels of silver and one foot of silk; My son was worried about the salary of the army in front of him, and none of the courtiers shared it for him, but you brought out millions of taels of silver at once;
What would you think if you were in my place? What would you think if you were in the position of emperor? Will you thank you for saving me from danger at this time?
Guan Ji slave, Guan Ji slave, he is blind, and he can't complain that others don't give you a chance, the mourning family originally looked at Guan Yong as brave and resourceful, a wise and responsible woman, thinking that his family education is very good, and these two young ladies are naturally not far behind.
But I didn't expect that I would end up like this, which is really sad and lamentable! ”
After that, he walked into the inner room without looking back, leaving Mrs. Guan to kneel there alone, as if she was stupid.
————————
The emperor decreed that Wu Sanji should be named a concubine and moved into the Chenghuan Hall to live.
The queen personally came to take a look, sent a fetal soup, and instructed some good births and fetuses to spread the branches for the royal family before leaving.
Wu Sanji sent the queen out of the door, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and walked in, sighed, collapsed on the chair, and drank tea with a teacup. Calmly came out of the inner room, looked out on tiptoe, and smiled: "Now settle down?" Take care of your baby and don't think about anything. ”
Wu Sanji glanced at her gratefully.
Calmly picked up the fetal soup on the table, sniffed it, and said with a smile: "It tastes very good, but you still don't drink it, I'll drink it, our queen mother has always played cards according to the rules, and it's good to prevent it." ”
Wu Sanji knelt on the ground with his calm clothes and cried: "Please be graceful to save the lives of our mother and son." ”
"Don't worry, I, I, have always sent the Buddha to the west, helping people to the end, as long as you are not too stupid, it should be possible to keep your mother and son safe." Calm down.
When Wu Sanji heard her say this, a smile appeared on his face, and he got up to serve tea and calm.
Calm was about to drink tea, when he saw a figure rushing into the house like a fly, and he shouted: "Put it down!" ”
Calmly bluffed his eyes, trembled, the teacup in his hand fell to the ground, "bang" fell to smash, the tea spilled on the ground, and the ground splashed with tea instantly turned black, bubbling with thick bubbles.
"Tea is poisonous?" Wu Sanji screamed, took two steps back, and slumped into the chair with his buttocks, his face pale.
Zhang took a step forward, dragged Calm into his arms and hugged him, his eyes were red, and he shouted frantically: "Call Jiang Feng, go and call!" ”
"The emperor is a little restless, the concubines didn't drink, they didn't drink a drop." Calmly stuffed in his arms, humming.
"I saw you put the teacup into your mouth, no, I must Jiang Feng come over and take a look." Zhang said in a trembling voice.
"The emperor spared his life, the ministers, and the concubines did not poison the tea." Wu Sanji fell to his knees, crying and kowtowing.
Calmly tried his best to break free from Zhang's embrace, helped Wu Sanji up, pressed him to the chair and sat down, and said with a smile: "Who said that you were poisoned?" You're really going to take care of yourself. ”
Wu Sanji looked at Zhang with a frightened gaze like a potsticker.
"Your Majesty, why are you here?" Calmly pulled Zhang to sit on the chair and asked him with a smile.
Zhang stared at his calm face carefully, and really didn't see any bad signs, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said in a dumb voice: "I didn't know that you were here, but I heard them say that the queen came to send the fetal soup according to the routine, I was afraid that she would be embarrassed for Wu Sanji, so I came to take a look, but I didn't expect to meet you drinking tea.
Somehow, my heart suddenly beat wildly, and I shouted like that, but I didn't expect it to make me scream. ”
"The emperor is wise, and he has the blessing of the emperor." Wu Sanji said softly.
Calm flashed his eyes, swallowed his saliva, and squeezed out a shallow sneer at the corner of his mouth.
"Your Majesty, the concubines will definitely check carefully to see which bold slave poisoned the tea." Wu Sanji said in horror.
"Forget it, you just moved in, what do you know, I still send someone to check, you don't care, don't use these people, I will order another group of people to serve you." Zhang said coldly.
Wu Sanji hurriedly knelt down to thank him.
Zhang sat down for a while, got up and left, but before leaving, he took a calm hand and said with a smile: "Wait for me at night, I made a new ancient style tune, let's play it together, I blow the flute, you play the qin." ”
calmly agreed, sent him out, and came back, seeing Wu Sanji crying with a whimper, he couldn't help but sigh.
"Master, thank you for covering up for me in front of the emperor, Wu Sanji swore to the sky that it would never be poisoned by me." Wu Sanji cried.
Calmly patted her on the shoulder, speechless.
After a while, Fang Cai smiled and said: "Wu Sanji, you have to be careful, the gold hairpin on your head is replaced with silver, and the food is easy to use, try to find out, I can't always be by your side, everything must be careful." ”
"Mother, is it the queen's mother?" Wu Sanji asked in a low voice.
Calmly and didn't know whether it was okay to smile bitterly, it happened that Nan You came and said that Master Yu Feng had something to discuss with her.
Calmly said goodbye, followed Nanyou back to the temple, and asked, "Why is Yu Feng looking for me?" It's a strange thing in the world, she never looks for me, and I almost forgot that this person exists. ”
"Where she is looking for you, it's just that the slave and maid lied to you in her name and told you to come out." Nanyu said with a smile.
Calm down with a black line: "You kid is also bad at learning." ”
"The slave and maid have something to find the master, and they are anxious, so they do this and ask the master for forgiveness." Nan You gave a salute and smiled to make amends.
"What's good?" Calmly asked.
Nan You took out a brocade cloth bag from his sleeve, stuffed it into his calm hand, and stared at her with a smile.
Calmly took it, untied it and looked at it, and said, "Look at our Nanyu, what rare things have been prepared for me." ”
When I opened it, it was a bag of broken silver, which seemed to be as many as three or four taels.
"Yo, you're giving me a gift, what's the matter, just say, I'll accept this gift." Calmly smiled and tied the pouch, put the sleeve into the sleeve, and smiled.
"It's nothing, the master's great kindness to the slave and maid. The slave and the maid have nothing to repay, and the slave and the maid know that the master may not be able to see this bit of silver, but this is a little bit of the slave's heart, and the master must accept it. Nanyu said with a red face.
"What, your sister's shop is open? Is business good? Is this the money earned this month? He asked with a calm smile.
Nanyou gave a thumbs up and a look of adoration: "Master, you are really a god, I guessed it all at once." ”
"I must accept this, the investment has returned, I am in a good mood, go back and let the chef make a few exquisite side dishes, and ask for a jar of good wine, and invite you to dinner tonight." Smiled calmly.
"Okay, I'll tell them." Nanyu clapped his hands and laughed.
Calmly took out a silver ingot from his sleeve and handed it to her: "Fool, ask the people of the Shanggong Bureau to do things, you must give enough silver, save the truth, but we are not right, what do you want to eat, just order, not enough to care about me, add it, forget more, reward them for their hard work." ”
Nan You took the silver and pouted: "They are cheap all the time, we are big-bellied men, and we can't eat so much silver, master, you have always been generous, for you to be generous, their food and catering are about to make a fuss, when they see our people going, they are all competing for flattery, and they all want to take things on their own heads, so that they can get your silver." ”
Calmly smiled at her, feeling a little sad in his heart.
Interests are always the focus of people's contention, no matter what position the person is, as long as there are interests, the struggle will not end.
She has never drunk alcohol, but tonight, she wants to drink, she wants to get drunk, not only because she is drunk will not think about Sima Nan anymore, she also wants to get drunk After getting drunk, she asked Kong Lingci an unsolvable question that she didn't need her to answer, and she didn't know how to answer, and she was calm and didn't know the answer.
The question is: If a man is willing to do even despicable and shameless things for you, will you fall in love with him?
If a man knows that you have the ability to avoid the disaster, but he is still not at ease, and he will come back to save you at the risk of exposing himself, will you fall in love with him?
