Chapter 223: Rumors
"What do you mean by that? Could it be that you are blaming me? What qualifications do you have......
"What did the emperor say! The concubines are still not qualified to blame the emperor for anything. Yan Jinxi interrupted what he was about to say, "The concubine is just stating the facts, is it possible to ......, is this world no longer allowed to tell the truth?" β
"There is always a right and wrong to tell the truth, what should be said and what should not be said, as the queen and the mother of a country, don't you have a sense of proportion?"
Not far away, there was another voice with a slight teaching, Yan Jinxi looked up and looked over there, and sure enough, it was Cao Zhengci Empress Dowager Cao.
It's not uncommon to hear and know people.
After all, she is a person who has listened to Cao Zhengci's long-winded preaching for decades, not to mention being able to easily distinguish her voice, even the sound of footsteps, as long as she hears it, Yan Jinxi can easily distinguish it.
Yan Jinxi smiled and said, "Right or wrong?" Erchen really didn't understand, since it was the truth and what he said was the truth, it was naturally right, where did the queen mother come from the truth and what was right and wrong? β
She didn't want to scold Cao Zhengci or anything, but she was really curious about how this kind of crooked reasoning could come out of her mouth, it really didn't look like her style.
"If it doesn't sound good, it's useless and meaningless, it's wrong, after allβif you say it, it won't change anything, but it's unpleasant, so why bother saying it?" Cao Zhengci said as he walked over to them.
"The sons are taught, since this is the case, the sons and daughters will not say this kind of 'meaningless' and unpleasant truth in the future."
It's not good, but it's meaningless or useless? Yan Jinxi didn't recognize it. But instead of arguing with it, it's easier to perfunctory approval.
She doesn't need others to agree with her point of view, she just needs to be firm in her own opinion, and that's it.
Other people's opinions, to her, can be said to be meaningless.
"The mourning family heard that you are ill in Jinxi, so I came to see ......, I want to come to the emperor for this matter, right?" As he spoke, Cao Zhengci shifted his gaze from Yan Jinxi to Zong Zheng Zexiu.
Zong Zheng Zexiu glanced at him and said: "The real queen, saying that she is not sick, I think it was spread by those palace maids, and it is appropriate to beat the master to death with a stick like this." β
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
"This ......, did the emperor really say so?" Outside Rongxi Palace, in a green bamboo bush, a palace maid with a broom in her hand nervously and fearfully asked another palace maid with a shovel next to her.
The palace maid who was asked applied for solemnity, and she was also a little scared in her heart, and said: "I ......, I really heard the emperor say that he should kill us who talk nonsense..."
It scared her out of the way.
"But, we're telling the truth!" The maid with the broom said as if comforting herself.
This seems to be firm, but it lacks a little confidence, and it seems to be very weak.
"Honestly? .... The Queen Mother said, and the truth is right and wrong......" The palace maid with the shovel suddenly thought of what the Queen Mother said, and became more and more afraid.
"But ......, but this is not from our Rongxi Palace, it is clearly from your East Palace..."
"You'll know what you're going to know now!" The palace maid with the shovel slashed a shovel of snow on the ground, looked at the palace maid with a broom with round eyes and said, "Since you can tell it clearly, you should know that this matter will not be the turn of our East Palace people anyway." β
After all, how could the people in his palace curse his master badly? Cursing one's master is not good, isn't it equivalent to cursing oneself in disguise?
On the contrary, this rumor came from the mouth of the palace maid of Rongxi Palace, which was even more convincing.
Of course, the palace maid with the shovel herself actually didn't know whose palace the queen's serious illness came from.
"You ......, I don't argue with you, you tell me not to forget, then I will give you a piece of advice, don't forget, my mother is the most favored one in this palace..."
"Who wants to fight you for this idleness!" The palace maid with the shovel picked up a shovel of snow on the ground and you, fell into the bamboo nest, and snorted softly.
What the hell!
No matter how you pull it, it will be up to who is more favored.
In terms of being favored, who can compare to her Rongxi Palace, since she knows that she can't be compared, it is naturally impossible to compare with her.
Who's going to suffer that anger!
"If you don't fight with me for this idleness, then why do you have to tell me this?" The maid with the broom was not convinced.
"Ahemβ" There was a light cough on the side of the road.
The two palace maids were shocked and looked towards the side of the road.
"If you don't work well, what are you doing?" Cinnabar scolded him solemnly, "I can't do this little thing well, just get out." β
The two palace maids lowered their heads, and the palace maid with the shovel squeaked and replied: "Sister Chensha, I, I really know that I am wrong, you just.... Adults don't care about villains, spare me this time. β
"I'm not an adult, I don't think you're sure to put it in your eyes, in that case, why do you say that adults don't care about villains?" Chensha looked at her with some amusement, then glanced at the palace maids on the brooms beside her, and looked up and down, "Look at this dress, you shouldn't be the palace maid of our East Palace, but the palace maid of Rongxi Palace, right?" How.... Is it because you Rongxi Palace has too many people to use up? β
"I ......"
"I ......"
The maid with the broom and the maid with the shovel spoke almost together, and at the same time closed their mouths, not knowing what to say.
"Sister Chensha, I, I'll try to do my part well, don't be angry, okay?" The palace maid with the shovel looked at Chensha and said.
Cinnabar smiled and said, "Don't take it as an example." β
Sure enough, as the queen said, as soon as these palace maids heard that they were going to lose their heads, they would naturally set off a wave of talk.
It's notβ
In addition to these two, she has also met a lot of people like this today, chewing the root of their tongues.
However, she couldn't figure out why the queen let these rumors spread and make a big fuss.
At first, she thought that the queen just wanted to use this method to let the emperor take the initiative to come to see her, she was pretending to be pitiful, and the emperor was sympathetic.
However, after today's incident, she realized that she was really stupid, really stupid.
But, that's it......
What did the queen think, how could she possibly guess it? She just needs to get serious about her work.
"And you, you are the palace maid of Rongxi Palace, I can't say anything about you, but if you slander our queen mother, I can still say a few words-" Chensha looked at the palace maid with a broom, her expression was serious, and she continued: "Usually, don't talk too much, let alone chew the root of the tongue in other people's palaces, be careful when you flash your tongue, it won't be easy to do." By the way...... it doesn't matter what you say about our mother, it's just-"
Chensha laughed coldly twice: "The emperor's words are also something you can talk about at will?" β
