Chapter 262: Confessional Intentions
The Queen Mother naturally didn't know that Tang Yining thought so much when she looked at the roster carefully. She just saw some tangled and hesitant expressions on Tang Yining's face, and suddenly had some doubts. Could it be that there is really something missing from her list?
"What's wrong? Is there something in your heart that you dare not say? What else do you have to hide in front of the mourning family? Say whatever you say, just say it. ”
Not liking the people below to hide it is a common problem for all the superiors, seeing Tang Yining's distracted appearance, the Queen Mother also felt a little dissatisfied. If you have anything to say, if you want to say it or not, she hangs her appetite, which really makes the Queen Mother very unhappy.
Tang Yining naturally heard the dissatisfaction in the Queen Mother's tone, and suddenly raised her head to look at the Queen Mother's eyes. If you look at it with a filter, the Queen Mother is a person with a strong sense of majesty, this is not definitely not deliberately cultivated, but the Queen Mother has been in this position for many years, and under the combination of what she has seen, what she has experienced, etc., she naturally has such a temperament.
And not to mention, when the former emperor was alive, the status of the queen mother was not low. Before entering the palace, she was already a very famous noblewoman in the capital, so she naturally carried the nobility of the current noblewoman.
Although the Queen Mother is now old, some things are engraved in her bones and will not disappear with the passage of time.
It's just that Tang Yining doesn't want to look at the Queen Mother with such an attitude, and she doesn't think that she should treat the Queen Mother like this, she can treat the Queen Mother with respect, but not with awe. When you are afraid, many things become different.
In addition, the Queen Mother is not such an unclear person, Tang Yining never thought of expiring the Queen Mother, even if she approached the Queen Mother because she wanted to use the Queen Mother at the beginning. A person like the Queen Mother, who has been operating in the harem for so many years, what kind of person has not seen it? Playing tricks in front of the Queen Mother, which seems to be smart, is actually the most stupid act.
Therefore, Tang Yining cleverly revealed his intentions directly in front of the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother didn't say anything else to Tang Yining, these days, it can be regarded as very good for Tang Yining. The Queen Mother has helped Tang Yining a lot, and so far, she has not used or done anything to her.
It is precisely because of this that Tang Yining does not want to lie to the Queen Mother. Because there are not many people in this world who are good to her, it is only a matter of two palms. In addition, no matter what happens in the future, at least now the Queen Mother is good to her, and she should cherish it.
Moreover, what Tang Yining plans to do is not small, this tea party is still held by the Queen Mother, and if she wants to make a move under the eyes of the Queen Mother, if she wants to prevent it from being discovered by the Queen Mother, once the Queen Mother finds out, she may also take the risk of being rejected by the Queen Mother? It's too difficult to do that.
What's more, Tang Yining didn't think that it was possible for this matter to be secretly carried out by the Queen Mother. Therefore, Tang Yining decided to tell the Queen Mother, how do you know the Queen Mother's attitude towards this matter without saying it? However, she didn't say it very clearly, but she thought that the Queen Mother should be able to understand.
"Queen Mother, Yining has an older sister, named Tang Jingwen, who is the eldest lady of the General's Mansion, and now she is a noble concubine in the Three Kings' Mansion. According to my sister's current status, I am no longer qualified to come to the tea party held by the Queen Mother. But Yi Ning still wants to ask the Queen Mother for a grace to allow her sister to participate in the Queen Mother's tea party. ”
When the Queen Mother heard this, the smile on her face faded a lot, and then she looked Tang Yining up and down with her eyes. Tang Yining did not avoid the Queen Mother's eyes, and looked directly at the Queen Mother.
"Yining, you honestly told the mourning family that you have a good relationship with your sister-in-law?"
You must know that if the Queen Mother is not mistaken, she remembers that Tang Yi would rather be a concubine, and between the concubine and the concubine, she has never seen a really good one, and she has always been incompatible with her face and heart. In addition, Tang Yining is not stupid, and it is impossible to naively think how good Sister Chang is.
The Queen Mother asked this question, but she just wanted to see if Tang Yining had started to be smart and play tricks in front of her. The Queen Mother doesn't like someone to be clever with her the most, even Tang Yining, who she thinks is quite pleasing to the eye.
Tang Yining shook her head very honestly: "Back to the Queen Mother's words, Yining's direct relationship with Sister Yan is really not good." ”
Since the relationship is not good, he will ask for help and invitation, is that ulterior motives? The queen mother is in the harem, and she has experienced many ups and downs in her life, where can she not know the strangeness of this. The concubine of a good general's mansion became a noble concubine, and the concubine became the princess of the county, and no one believed that the two were in harmony.
Not to mention, Tang Yining just said that the relationship between the two is not harmonious, so how can there be nothing else in mind?
However, when Tang Yining said this, the Queen Mother did not feel offended and angry at the beginning, she was very satisfied with Tang Yining's confession, and her eyes softened: "What? So honest with the mourners? Aren't you afraid of mourning and asking you about sin? ”
What the Queen Mother said actually has a deep meaning, and the implication is that she is actually asking Tang Yining, why don't you tell some lies to deceive her, for example, the relationship between you is indeed not bad, and you dare to say so directly that the relationship between the two is not good.
Tang Yining lowered her head when she heard this, the Queen Mother is really the Queen Mother, and her approach is really correct. Then she raised her head with a smile and looked into the eyes of the Queen Mother, this time she regarded the Queen Mother as a kind old man.
"Back to the Queen Mother's words, Yining doesn't want to lie to you. Besides, Yining doesn't think he can deceive you, anyway, you must know, why should Yining lie to you? ”
The Queen Mother smiled, with a hint of inexplicable meaning in her eyes, and stretched out her hand to gently touch Tang Yining's hair.
"Tonight, your sister will receive an invitation to the tea party. Rest assured! The implication is that Tang Yining has already agreed to what he meant.
Tang Yining thought that the Queen Mother would ask a few more words, but she didn't expect to agree so directly, which was really a bit unexpected for her. She didn't hold back for a moment, and raised her head suddenly, her eyes full of surprise.
She has always understood that the Queen Mother must have understood her bad intentions for Tang Jingwen, and wanted to do something to Tang Jingwen at the tea party held by the Queen Mother, thinking that the Queen Mother would not agree, but she still agreed, and she agreed so simply.
"Queen Mother, ...... you" Tang Yining's words were interrupted by the Queen Mother before he finished speaking.
"Well, that's it. You said that you, who are young, think about this and that mess all day long, and what do you want to do so much? Grow old quickly, and soon become a little old woman. ”
The Queen Mother doesn't want to say more about this matter, some things believe that Yining is a smart person, and she doesn't need to find out everything. Holding this tea party is not simple, nor is it a good thing, and it is mainly to wake up the former court officials through the female relatives in Beijing. As for whether something happened at the tea party, who cares?
What's more, the person who had an accident was just a noble concubine in the Three Kings' Mansion. Maybe it's a better chance to knock it out.
"The Queen Mother's ......"
"Okay, the time is almost up, and if you don't go back to the palace gate, you will have to give the key. Go back and get ready. The Queen Mother smiled, her eyes full of gentleness. The mourning family likes Yining very much, and every time they see Yining, they dress up very elegantly. This time, the mourning family wanted to see Yining dressed up more delicately on the day of the tea party. Yining itself has a good appearance, why is she so unconcerned? ”
Tang Yining didn't know why, when she heard this, she had an irrepressible sourness in her heart, forcibly suppressed the sourness that gushed out of her heart, and nodded: "Back to the Queen Mother's words, Yining will definitely listen to the Queen Mother, and when you have a tea party, dress up more exquisitely." ”
There is a good saying: people treat me with sincerity, and I treat people with ten times more sincerity.
Not to mention what Tang Yining prepared after returning to the mansion, and looking at the other side, when Tang Jingwen received the invitation, the whole person was stunned, very surprised and surprised.
The maid next to her had a joy on her face that couldn't be hidden: "Madam, madam, look, this is a tea party invited by the Queen Mother!" I'm afraid that among all the concubines in the capital, you are the only one who has received it, and it is really the only one. ”
When Tang Jingwen heard the previous sentence, his face was slowly full of pride, and when he heard the second half of the sentence, his face suddenly turned cold, and he gave the maid a slap with his backhand.
"Enough! If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a dumb person! Hum! The following are committed! ”
The maid didn't dare to say anything, covered her cheeks, lowered her head, and her eyes were full of gloom.
Hum! This Tang Jingwen is just a noble concubine now, and if she offends the three princesses, she can't get the favor of the three princes, in fact, there is no way out with such a master.
Although it is said that the subordinates have signed the deed of sale, as long as the master does not return the deed of sale to the subordinate, he has to give the life of the current person for the rest of his life, but since this is the case, the conditions are naturally to give a master with a higher status to the current person. Is it possible to choose a master who is not even as good as his subordinates?
If she didn't have no one and couldn't do without this Tang Jingwen, she would naturally have to think of a way to see if she could push Tang Jingwen up, otherwise she would have no way out, how could she care about this Tang Jingwen.
With Tang Jingwen's current identity, receiving an invitation from the Queen Mother is no different from pie in the sky. She wanted to praise Tang Jingwen and please Tang Jingwen, but who knew that she slapped the horse's fart on the horse's leg, not to mention that she didn't get any benefits, and she was slapped by Tang Jingwen.
In this girl's heart, she didn't know how many times she had insulted Tang Jingwen.
