Chapter 150: The Contest

Wake up calmly and hear the worst news you want to hear.

Guan Jinu returned, but he did not immediately go to the court to report the results of the overseer.

Because his only son fell to his death while riding a horse!

Guan Jinu was disheartened, donated all his family wealth, and wanted to become a monk.

"Master, it's okay now, look at what the queen is still arrogant." After Nanyou finished hearing the news, he smiled proudly at Calm.

Calmly grinned, seemed to be smiling, and was in a sad mood.

She thought that there would be thorns on the way forward, but the thorns came too quickly, and she thought she had seen the light, but now it seemed that the light was just a vain.

Although Guan Jinu married a stupid mother-in-law and gave birth to a stupid white sweet daughter, he himself is not stupid at all! Not only is he not stupid, but he is also very shrewd.

This is to buy the future of the housekeeper with the life of his son!

His ruthlessness is the same as Zhang, who wants to poison Wu Sanji, but Zhang is far from having the courage and determination of him.

"Guan Ji slave, Guan Ji slave, it seems that I calmly underestimated you, and that's right, the person who can give birth to a daughter like Guan Yong is not a fool at all."

Calmly brushed his hair and muttered to himself.

Nanyou couldn't understand her words, so he leaned over and asked, but before the words fell, he only heard the sound of talking from the courtyard.

Then Dayong shouted outside: "Master, Concubine Ning looks at you here." ”

"Concubine Ning?" Calmly and curiously asked Nanyu.

Nan You rolled his eyes: "The master doesn't remember her, the newly selected show girl, her father is the Yamen Bookstore, and he has read two serious books since he was a child, and he is crazy, as if he knows everything, but the Queen Mother likes her to be able to speak well, so among the newly selected concubines, she is the most popular." ”

"What is she doing here?" Calmly asked.

"Just ask." Nan You walked out with the curtain and laughed loudly: "The slave maid has seen Concubine Ning, this early in the morning, she breathes with a white circle, why do you always work hard?" ”

Concubine Ning's thin voice sounded: "You girl can speak, since the concubine of this palace, she has admired the concubine Niangniang, but she is afraid that her qualifications are shallow and she will not be able to enter the eyes of the concubine, so she does not dare to come out to visit."

Therefore, it has always been a regret in my heart, so that the palace can not be quiet day and night, so today the child mustered up the courage to come to visit, and hoped that the concubine would be gracious, and see the palace, with the idea of admiration. ”

Calmly listening to her crepe words inside, you can imagine Nanyu's embarrassment and embarrassment.

Nan Yu has never read any books, and this kind of drop of the book bag is really difficult for her.

"Niangniang, the slave is stupid, do you want to see our master or don't you want to see our master when you say this?" Nanyu asked loudly.

got up and walked out calmly and couldn't help laughing, and stretched out his hand to greet Concubine Ning: "Good sister, come inside, sit and talk, what kind of bookbag did you drop with a girl, she didn't understand." ”

Concubine Ning is tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and her face is less weak than a little heroic, which is very inconsistent with her soft voice.

"I've seen my sister." Concubine Ning bent down and saluted, with a respectful attitude.

Calm stepped forward to help her up, walked into the house hand in hand, and told Nanyou to pour tea, and the two drank tea, and calmly asked her why she came.

Concubine Ning said with a smile: "It will be the emperor's birthday in a few days, what kind of gift does my sister plan to give to the emperor?" ”

Calm and stunned, I didn't hear Zhang mention that he was going to celebrate his birthday.

She never asked him when his birthday was.

Calm never cares about these so-called important days. If Zhang hadn't mentioned her birthday last night, she would have forgotten her birthday long ago.

When Concubine Ning mentioned this, she calmly understood what Zhang meant last night, and it seemed that she didn't just want to say what a good birthday gift she had given, but also wanted to remind her that his birthday was coming soon.

"Sister, is my sister's question too abrupt?" Concubine Ning saw that she didn't answer, so she said again.

Calmly waved his hand: "It's nothing, because I don't have any good ideas, so I don't know how to answer you." What does my sister want to give? ”

"Because the emperor is thrifty and has issued an order, he will not hold a banquet on his birthday, and he will not accept the courtiers' congratulations, but only let the chef prepare a family banquet.

So my sister has a ridiculous idea, how about a few of our concubines cook a homely meal together for the emperor's birthday? Concubine Ning smiled.

calmly straightened his eyes and nodded: "This is a good idea, it's hard for my sister to think of it, others don't know how, I agree, what my sister wants, just tell me, I'll do it." ”

"My good sister, our identity is troublesome, everyone has discussed, if you also agree, you will come forward to negotiate with the Shanggong Bureau, and take everyone to determine whether the dishes are good?

First, you are familiar with Zhou Shanggong and easy to do, and second, my sister is deeply favored by the emperor, knowing the emperor's taste, and the food she makes will be loved by the emperor. ”

Concubine Ning said bluntly.

Calmly took a breath, these bear children want to get the emperor's praise again, and they don't want to take responsibility, this is for her to be the wronged boss and contribute money and efforts.

If she is appreciated, the idea is hers, and they will naturally take the benefits, if she messes up, it is her fault for being calm, she has the highest title, and she is leading nonsense.

"Sister, if you say it, you should have begged the queen mother for this matter, but this morning, when you came together, the palace heard from the eunuchs that there was an accident in the queen's house.

She must not be in the mood to do this now, so please ask my sister to work hard and help us this time. Concubine Ning said.

Calmly biting his nails, he hesitated and asked, "Or, let's ask the Queen Mother together?" If she agrees, we'll do it. ”

Concubine Ning had a smile on her face: "I have asked, the Queen Mother is generous, I only say that I am not allowed to be extravagant and wasteful, and we will take care of the rest." ”

Calmly nodded: "Then, let's do it?" ”

Concubine Ning hurriedly sat down, gave a happy salute, and said that she would not delay her calm rest, so she took her leave and left.

Calmly stopped her, straightened her eyes for a while, and said with a smile: "You think it's good, the sisters come from different places, let's make a local specialty for each person, okay?" When the time comes, everyone will go to the stove together, one by one, and no one will suffer a loss, do you think it's good? ”

"Niang Niang Ming, I'll go back and tell them." Concubine Ning responded and walked out.

Nan You sent her out and turned back, pouting and sneering: "Master, you have to be careful, you may not really want us to join the gang, maybe you have some bad ideas, I went to the Shanggong Bureau yesterday to deliver things, and I saw a few of them whispering in the Wenfeng Pavilion in the Imperial Garden, and they all stopped talking when they saw me coming."

When I came back from the delivery and saw them coming out of the nave, the slave and maid were suspicious, afraid that something was going to happen, and sure enough, I came to you today. ”

"This is not a moth, this is a serious idea, to make the emperor happy, don't be so careful." said to her with a calm smile, but in his heart he deeply believed her words.

She is an opponent to them, where can she be so kind, and the idea of coaxing the emperor to be happy that she has worked so hard to come up with is so easy to tell her.

It doesn't have to be as simple as holding her accountable.

However, people didn't make a move, and they couldn't guess what prescription came out of this gourd, so they could only wait and see what changed.

"Don't worry about this, it's not early, and the early dynasty should be over, what about the emperor?" Calmly asked Nanyu.

Nan You pouted: "You are asking this wonderfully, where does the slave know the whereabouts of the emperor, who do you think the slave and maid are?" ”

Calmly laughed to herself, and ordered Nanyou to find the clothes of the concubine, she was going to see the queen mother.

Nanyou had just dressed her and was about to go out, but she saw a little eunuch from Fengqi Palace running in in a hurry, passing on the Empress Dowager's decree to go to Fengqi Palace calmly and quickly.

Nan You responded with a smile: "Today, you and the Queen Mother want to be together, which is also rare." ”

"It's nothing rare, I'm still a lackey now, and before the cunning rabbit dies, he can't cook it, so point to me to help." Calmly laughing and laughing, he pulled Nanyou from Chaofengqi Palace.

Empress Dowager Guan knelt in front of Guanyin Master and chanted, and stood calmly behind her for a long time, she still didn't get up, just chanted with a pious face.

She is not Empress Liu, she has never believed in this, but now she knelt down in front of the gods and Buddhas, and she didn't know which place she was playing.

Calmly stood quietly and watched her perform.

She is not in a hurry, now it is the Queen Mother and the Emperor who are in a hurry.

After about a cup of tea, Empress Dowager Guan got up, slowly sat on the chair, picked up the teacup and drank tea, stretched out her finger to the chair next to her, and let her sit calmly.

calmly took a seat, silently fiddling with his fingernails, and remained silent.

Empress Dowager Guan still opened her mouth first: "Calm down, you kid is smart and has a flexible brain, you must know the reason why the mourning family wants you to come?" ”

nodded calmly: "Niangniang, the entire harem has been spread, and although the Miaoyin Temple where the concubine lives is in the most remote place, I have also gotten news." The queen is really pitiful, and the concubine is trying to go to the middle hall to comfort and comfort her. ”

"That's not what the mourners want to say." Empress Dowager Guan looked a little lost and shook her head.

"The concubine is stupid and doesn't understand the queen mother's mind." Calmly pretend to be crazy and stupid.

Empress Dowager Guan sighed: "Haven't you heard that General Guan's son fell to his death while riding a horse?" ”

"The concubine heard the palace people mention it, what's wrong? Aren't you dead? Do you want the concubine to go and see him? Calmly asked.

Empress Dowager Guan's face became anxious, and she sneered: "You are enthusiastic, but it's a pity that you are dead, so you don't have to look at it anymore." ”

calmly wrapped his fingers around and said in a low voice: "General Guan is really pitiful, according to the humble opinion of the concubine, we should send him a plaque, which says that a family of loyal martyrs will be remembered for all generations." ”

When Empress Dowager Guan heard this, she squinted her eyes and stared at her.

"I also heard from the palace people that General Guan wants to become a monk, I don't know if the Queen Mother can cure his heart disease if she sends a plaque over." Calm and said.

Empress Dowager Guan coughed dryly and did not answer.

"Is General Guan distressed about the family wealth donated by the queen's mother yesterday? Then send a plaque to the queen's mother, and write the mother of the world, is it okay to show virtue in all directions? If it doesn't work, let the emperor issue a holy decree and spread it to officials from all over the country, so that the officials of our Daxia can learn from the queen's mother, eliminate the sorrows for the king, and share the worries for the country. ”

Calm continued.

Empress Dowager Guan's wrinkled face unfolded, slowly sipped tea, and nodded slightly.

"Queen Mother, do you think this general really wants to become a monk?" Calmly asked as if stupid.

Empress Dowager Guan snorted coldly and was silent, but she looked disgusted.
