Volume III-20 The Coming of the Old Man (II) (II)
The Coming of the Old Man (II) (II)
As soon as the carriage left Aoki Garden, someone rushed into the palace, and the Empress Lan was holding a cup of ginseng tea, and when she heard that the two of them could take the carriage to the prince's mansion peacefully, she smiled sarcastically: "It is worthy of being trained by the old woman's side." It's really pretending. But it's to be expected. I hope that Concubine Liu will not be too stupid today and will act according to our original plan. She smiled and glanced at Mama Qiu, who gave her the idea.
"Don't worry," Mama Qiu said flatteringly, "I followed Concubine Liu into the Prince's Mansion last night." ”
The other Cui Mama beside her was a little worried: "If they find out that they were sent by Niangniang and make Tang Xinjie hate Niangniang, won't they bury danger to the prince in the future?" ”
Lan glanced at her and smiled contemptuously: "Tang Xinjie is a cautious person, he won't do anything at once, and he will deliberately pretend to be high to distinguish Niangniang from the prince." Since it is pretended, it is difficult to guarantee that those dirty thoughts in my heart will not be revealed, and the people who can't guarantee Yi'er around him will not tell him some clues, even if they don't see anything, we can help them add some content, or expose today's ugly things, I don't believe that Yi'er will not be suspicious. ”
Zhizi Mo Ruomu, although Yiyi grew up beside the Queen Mother, but he inherited the emperor's suspicious personality, which can not be changed by the Queen Mother's education. Originally, she planned to wait for Yi'er's position to stabilize before making a move. But now the Tang family, it should be said that Tang Xinjie and Zhou Wanning don't take her, the queen and the Hou Family's Kangning Mansion, in their eyes. If they are allowed to continue to grow steadily by Yi'er's side, the more Tang Xinjie has made contributions, the more important his position beside Yi'er will be. Coupled with the Pingluan Pavilion, which controls the safety of the royal family, it is difficult for these two to guarantee that their ambitions will become bigger and bigger in the future, not only despising the Lan family, but also being detrimental to Yi'er, cutting the position of the Luan Pavilion, she still wants to leave it to the Lan family. Yi'er is all her hope, and she naturally can't let this couple have the slightest disadvantage for Yi'er and the Lan family.
If they are stronger than Jin, then she is willing to find a way to let them go to hell together. If it's just a combination of interests, pretending to be affectionate in front of outsiders, then it's better, let them contain each other, or even kill each other. Zhou Wanning is also a capable person.
Mama Cui frowned, I don't know how the master and Mrs. Qiu discussed, she was still on duty today to listen to the master and servant two talking. And obviously the queen thinks that this matter is nine out of ten, so she is not taboo and says it in front of her. But Tang Xinjie can control Pingluan Pavilion, that is a person with a super easy brain, and it is such a small means that can make people fooled.
Mama Qiu, who was standing up straight opposite, glanced at Mama Cui contemptuously: "Do you think that the masters are not as smart as you?" The prince was born to his mother, and his thoughts are clearer than anyone else. That pair is no matter how good it is, with the help of Concubine Liu today, even if they can't be completely separated, at least it will bury a thorn in the hearts of the two. ”
Mama Cui glanced at Mama Qiu impatiently: "The slave maid doesn't mean that, but Tang Xinjie and the Tang family have been loyal to our prince all these years, before the big thing is decided, let's not provoke them." ”
Mama Qiu flattened her mouth: "Now the crown prince is the only choice for the emperor, and the other five princes, the third prince or others are too far behind, and there are many shortcomings that the emperor does not like." But if Tang Xinjie is not cured now, and he is allowed to make more meritorious contributions by the side of the prince, but he does not have the handle in our hands, then it will be more and more difficult for him to be controlled by us in the future. When His Royal Highness's major event is decided in the future, he is afraid that it will be the biggest bane. ”
Cui Mama frowned, people said that the mill was unloaded to kill the donkey, this mill has not been unloaded, the crisis is still there, this master thinks that he can do without others? Although she was at odds with Mama Qiu, she was an old man who was sent in by the Marquis of Kangning's mansion, and she had to be told by the old marquis, so she had to be reminded again: "The old slave thinks it's better to be cautious, it's still too early to move the people of the Tang family." It is said that several other princes are not successful, but which one is simple? And with the Tang family in town, not only those people in the palace, but even the court has a lot less restlessness. ”
Mama Qiu disagreed: "The reason why the Tang family is big is because of your kind of thinking. I always feel that they are useful, and I will talk about it when the overall situation is stable. But when the overall situation stabilized, the Tang family was too strong to move, and the previous dynasty had been holding them up until now. Now too, with a group of nephews in charge of the military power everywhere, the emperor does not dare to touch them, when has there ever been our master in his eyes? ”
Mama Cui glanced at her disdainfully: "Mama Qiu, we are all doing things for the master, we should mention something about the master, there are some things to think about for the master, not to instigate the master to do wrong things for selfishness." ”
"Why am I doing it for selfishness?" Mama Qiu jumped up: "I'm not here to vent my anger to my master, I pinched Zhou Wanning, let's play with Tang Xinjie." ”
(ˉ▽ ̄~) cut~~," Cui Mama disdainful: "We have worked together for so many years, don't let me tell the truth for you and leak the bottom." ”
"What do I have?" Mrs. Qiu has always been horizontal and shouted loudly.
When Empress Lan heard that the old mothers around her were so unstoppable, she slapped the table angrily: "Enough! What about you and me? There are so no rules in front of this palace. ”
Mama Cui hurriedly knelt down and saluted, Mama Qiu was still angry, a little dizzy and muttering in her mouth, Lan glanced at the eunuch Hu who was standing next to him and watching the excitement: "Don't give me a slap yet"
Manager Hu immediately woke up and went up to give Mama Qiu a slap. Mama Qiu came back to her senses and pleaded guilty.
Lan ignored her, but looked at Mama Cui: "What did you just say about her?" ”
Mama Cui glanced at Mama Qiu and sighed: "It is reasonable that I have been waiting for my mother in the palace with Lao Qiu for so many years, I shouldn't say this, but if I delay the master's business because of this, it will violate the duty of a slave." ”
"Say!" Rann was impatient.
"Mama Qiu has a brother who used to know some fists and kicks, and in the early years, he felt that he could make contributions from Rong, and he begged Niangniang at the beginning, didn't Niangniang arrange for him to go to Tang Erye's command?" Mama Cui glanced at Lan. Lan thought for a while, but couldn't remember, after all, his subordinates begged to arrange such a trivial matter, and it had been so many years.
Mama Cui didn't wait for Lan's reply: "This kind of trivial matter, Niangniang may not remember." But at that time, it was the mother who handed it over to the slave to pass the word. Niangniang also said at the time, maybe she will be able to work in the army in the future, and she can help her master. It's just a pity that this went to Tang Erye's command, Tang Erye looked at Niangniang's face, and the Qiu family brother did have a bit of martial arts, and made him a centurion in Gannan Road, but less than three months after taking office, This Qiu family brother walked sideways in the town, drinking and fighting for the drama and hurting people, not to mention, but also robbing the drama, detaining people's freedom, and beating other people's masters seriously. disobeyed discipline again, injured his brothers in the camp, and was taken down by Tang Erye, In addition to his military status, because he was the son of the Lan family, for the sake of the Lan family's face, he was sent back to the Lan family. When I sent it back, I happened to meet the prince, and I was taught a lesson by the prince, and I told my mother not to tell my mother, so as to save my mother trouble. But the Qiu family sisters and brothers hated the Tang family. Later, the Qiu brothers followed our second master to Nanchang, and I don't know how the slave was in office, but last month the second master was transferred back to Beijing, and the Qiu brothers also followed back to Beijing. After returning to Beijing, I met Zhou Wanning on the street, and wanted to go up to tease others, but my leg was broken by someone's guards. ”
Mama Qiu looked at Mama Cui fiercely, and Manager Hu looked like she didn't care about herself.
Lan frowned: "Mama Qiu, is this true?" ”
"It's true," Mama Qiu knelt and kowtowed: "It's my brother who doesn't fight, but the slave is planning for the mother today, not because of my brother's personal enmity with that woman." ”
Lan glanced at Mama Qiu in disgust: "Manager Hu, hurry up and let people pass the message and withdraw the people." ”
In the prince's mansion, after drinking tea, the prince led the two to the West Flower Hall, where the prince specially asked people to build a shed in the garden, so that the cook brought back from Jiangnan could cook dim sum and flower tea for the guests.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, is this trying to rob me of the business of the Aoki Society?" Xinjie quipped.
The prince really said seriously: "When Bengong was in Jiangnan, I tried the craftsmanship of this tea master and dim sum master, and I thought it was very good, and when I was in Jiangnan, they always followed me, and I felt very satisfied, so I wanted to bring it back to you to try." ”
Xinjie and Wanning glanced at each other, and smiled at the same time, this is like the tacit understanding of the immortal couple, which made Yiyi's heart calculate slightly, and quickly covered it up: "I know that you two are picky, but this palace is not bad, try it and you will know." ”
Xinjie nodded seriously: "We must try well." ”
Yiyi slapped him heavily on the back: "This palace knows that you like to play tricks on me." ”
Xinjie looked at his Lian'er again and smiled. Concubine Yan frowned slightly, and Concubine Liu looked at the interaction between the prince and the third prince of the Tang family with some curiosity. This is the crown prince and his vassals? It's more like a brother.
Wan Ning continued to smile and drink tea, and heard Concubine Liu obediently walk up to her and say: "Lady Zhou, you have to believe the words of the prince, the tea cooked by this tea master is really fragrant and fragrant, and he can look at the human physique, put different flowers and fruits, and is very thoughtful." You'll love it. ”
Zhou Wanning looked at her and nodded: "Thank you Concubine Liu for explaining, I will definitely try to be humble later." ”
Concubine Liu walked to the shelf next to her and took some incense tablets and added them to the smoker in front of her, and asked earnestly: "Those dim sum masters are also top-notch." I don't know if Lady Zhou likes it to be sweeter or more sour? ”
Wan Ning looked at her and said calmly, "I like the taste to be lighter." ”
