Chapter 237: The Impostor (3)
One sunny morning, an official of the Ministry of Rites solemnly proposed to His Majesty the Emperor at a grand court meeting.
From the perspective of protecting the country's special talents, as well as Zhong Weiwei's prestige and talent, she is very suitable to be the concubine of His Majesty the Emperor.
His Majesty the Emperor should comply with public opinion as soon as possible and officially canonize her as Concubine De.
At the same time, a figure hurriedly ran into Wan'an Palace.
Empress Dowager Wei has been going badly recently, and she looks at herself in the mirror, feeling a little older.
There were two more wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, and there were as many as ten gray hairs plucked out of her head, this kind of thing had never happened before, and of course her mood was not better.
Until the henchwoman Miaolin came in and said: "The person sent to Cangshan by Niangniang has returned." ”
Only then did she press the diamond glass in her hand and said excitedly: "Hurry up!" ”
The palace people ran so fast that they almost couldn't breathe, and they were busy delivering a letter to Empress Dowager Wei, so they fell to the ground, panting.
Empress Dowager Wei didn't care about him, hurriedly opened the letter, glanced at ten lines, and laughed "haha" after reading it.
"God help me!" She instructed Miao Lin: "Spread the word immediately, and let the Taishi be desperate to stop Zhong Weiwei from sealing the concubine!" ”
Miao Lin hurriedly ran out and spread the word to the outer court.
When Taishi Wei received the news, he immediately stood up against Zhong Weiwei and Concubine Fengde:
"Your Majesty, this matter is inappropriate, Zhong Weiwei's identity is doubtful! Someone reported that she was not Zhong Nanjiang's daughter-in-law, but an impostor, which is a crime of deception and disrespect! ”
Chonghua had long known that Zhong Weiwei was not Zhong Nanjiang's daughter-in-law, so he was not surprised, and sneered:
"I grew up in Cangshan since I was a child, what is she, don't I know yet? It's just that some people are jealous and want to make trouble. ”
Wei Taishi was impassioned: "There is no wind and no waves, the throne of the first palace is not a trivial matter, it is to set an example for women in the world, and it represents the face of the royal family."
It should not be summarily awarded until the truth has been ascertained. If Your Majesty really likes her, she can be included in the palace, and she can just be given a beauty or something like that. ”
Chonghua looked down at Master Wei expressionlessly and didn't say a word.
Let Zhong Weiwei be Concubine De, which is already a great grievance for her.
According to his idea, he wanted three media and six hires, let her marry beautifully, and sat in Fengyuan from Fenghua Gate.
Pray with him to heaven and earth, worship ancestors, and rule the world together.
Master Wei dared to let him casually give Zhong Wei the title of the only beauty?
I'm really tired of living.
It seems that he didn't hit Merriam-Webster hard enough.
Wei Taishi has been fighting with Chonghua recently, although there have been times when he has won, but he has suffered a lot of big losses.
Being stared at like this by Chonghua can't help but feel a little numb.
But thinking of the rare opportunity to get Chonghua, I have to fight to the death.
Therefore, he stubbornly stalked his neck, used the power hidden in the imperial history, and dissuaded Chonghua one after another:
"Sealing the concubine is a big deal, since there are objections, Your Majesty might as well take a step forward and make a decision after finding out the truth."
Chonghua slowly hooked the corners of his lips, his gaze slowly swept over the faces of these people, and sneered: "What if I don't want to." ”
"Even if the evidence is conclusive, does Your Majesty have to make Zhong Weiwei a concubine?"
Empress Dowager Wei walked in in court clothes, her eyes were clear, she threw a letter in front of everyone, and said with a sneer:
"What a long insight! Bengong only learned today that Zhong Weiwei is not Zhong Nanjiang's concubine, but an impostor pariah!
The parents are unknown, the hometown is unknown, and the homeless children who were picked up in the middle of the road may not be from the lower ninth rate! ”
Chonghua can't tolerate anyone slandering Zhong Weiwei like this: "She's not!" She is Zhong Nanjiang's righteous daughter, she grew up with Zhong Nanjiang's teachings, I knew it for a long time, and I didn't impersonate and bully the king! ”
I finally found something that can cure this unfilial son!
Empress Dowager Wei saw that Chonghua was angry, and suddenly felt a twisted pleasure:
"Zhong Nanjiang only has one concubine, named Xinran, she is the marriage partner selected by the first emperor for His Majesty, and she is the one who really has a marriage contract with His Majesty!
His Majesty can canonize the daughter of the Zhong family as a concubine, but it can only be Zhong Xinran, not a lowly person like Zhong Weiwei with an unknown background.
Otherwise, Your Majesty is disobeying the will of the first emperor, that is, unfilial piety, and untrustworthiness! ”
She looked around and said with a smile: "I believe that everyone has heard about the events of the past, right?" People cannot stand without faith, let alone the Son of Heaven!
His Majesty wants to accept Zhong Weiwei, but the palace still has that opinion, and can only be a low-level palace concubine, not worthy of being a concubine, let alone a queen.
Otherwise, this palace is not allowed to die! ”
Chonghua was furious, stood up, and glared at Empress Dowager Wei with red eyes.
Empress Dowager Wei raised her chin slightly and provoked: "Your Majesty is unhappy, isn't it?" Do you want to kill your mother in front of the Qing family? ”
For this kind of thing, it would not do him any good to clash with Empress Dowager Wei in front of all the ministers, and it would give others the opportunity to spread rumors and slander Zhong Weiwei.
Chonghua sneered and walked away.
Empress Dowager Wei was very disappointed when she saw that he refused to be fooled.
Zhao Hongtu was busy dispersing the ministers, and Empress Dowager Wei and Empress Dowager Wei glanced at each other, and they both saw the ruthlessness in each other's eyes.
Since Chonghua forced them to have no way back and couldn't breathe, then don't blame them for being polite.
In the Qingxin Palace, Zhong Weiwei opened a package of aged tea that had been treated with a special process, and then threw it away in disappointment.
She, Chen Shaoming and others have been experimenting for a long time, trying to use a special process to turn old tea into treasure, so that it can produce that natural and unique flavor.
However, it always fails, either moldy or smelly.
and played with the cat not far from her.
The cat is a cute tabby kitten, only three months old, curious and lively, just a good playmate for children.
Aunt Qian walked in quickly, stood in front of Zhong Weiwei, and when she saw her focused, the words that had originally surged into her mouth were swallowed back.
After doing so many things and working hard for so many years, it is not easy to walk with His Majesty in a bright and bright way, but he is scolded as a lowly impostor in front of the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, no one can stand this kind of insult and bullying.
Zhong Weiwei crushed and spread out the tea leaves, carefully examining its color.
She thought that Aunt Qian was blocking the light, so she didn't raise her head and said, "Auntie, let me go, don't stand in my way, I'm doing business." ”
Aunt Qian sighed and asked her, "Xiao Zhong, are you hungry?" I'll make something for you to eat. ”
Zhong Weiwei glanced at Aunt Qian strangely: "I have just eaten, I am full, not hungry." ”
Aunt Qian said: "Then eat some fruit, the bayberry that has talent is fat, sweet, and delicious." I'll wash you. ”
Without waiting for Zhong Weiwei to refuse, he left in a hurry.
Zhong Weiwei asked Xiaotang: "Do you think Aunt Qian is a little strange?" ”
Xiaotang was sewing underwear for her, and said casually: "Yes, yes, it's more verbose than usual." ”
Zhong Weiwei thought for a while: "Did anything happen today?" (To be continued.) )
