137 Heartlessness and ruthlessness
Ruotang smirked, and Princess Ren Jin held her hand tightly, "You're all right, right?" ”
"In the Empress Dowager's Palace, what else can I not do?" Princess Jin smiled and said, "Now that there is an edict from the imperial grandmother, if you are still being bullied, beware that I will look down on you." ”
Ruotang naturally knew that this was for the ears and eyes of the Queen Mother, so he said with some embarrassment: "In the end, it was rewarded by the father, if they are punished severely, I am afraid that the father will be unhappy." ”
"Didn't you listen to the emperor's grandmother, she would mention it to your father, so you put your heart in your stomach and frustrate their spirits. Something, even you dare to smash it, replaced me. I rushed out two or three times earlier. ”
Ruotang winked at her behind her back, blinking and laughing, "Yes, fortunately, the imperial grandmother is in charge of me." Otherwise, I don't know what to do. ”
Princess Jin suddenly realized, after a long time, her purpose in entering the palace was simply for the queen mother's message!
I thought I was worried that she came to see her! Princess Jin puffed out her cheeks and pulled her hand back.
Ruotang cheekily continued to laugh, "Second sister-in-law, since you entered the palace, there has been no news, I'm really worried about you." ”
"Humph!" Princess Jin snorted coldly.
It made Mama Zhao next to her and a palace person inexplicable, it seems that the mood of this pregnant woman is really strange, first she was happy, Princess Xiang didn't say anything excessive, why did she get angry in a blink of an eye?
Seeing that Princess Jin was making an awkward scene, and Princess Xiang was making a low coaxing appearance, everyone couldn't help but lower their heads and snicker.
……
Ruotang had lunch in the Queen Mother's Palace, and when she was about to return to the palace, Concubine Cheng came with the queen.
It's not easy for her to say goodbye. After the two of them and the Queen Mother said goodbye, they went forward to ask them for peace.
I thought that because she had brought down the King of Jin, Concubine Cheng would definitely treat her coldly, but she didn't want to be Concubine Cheng, but she was gentle and gentle, and she didn't say anything, she really regarded herself as an elder, and said hello to Ruotang. Instead, Ruotang was scared, and she didn't know what kind of medicine she was selling in her gourd.
Ruotang This is the first time I have seen Cheng Guifei, I heard that Cheng Guifei does not go out on weekdays, a middle-aged beauty in her forties, very well maintained, and her voice is even more delicate and sweet. She spoke. made Ruotang think of Sister Ling, and she was stiffly numb by her baby voice.
The queen also took out her demeanor as the mother of the country, and she also cared about the princess of Jin, and when Ruotang dealt with the concubine, she had to be distracted and pay attention to the queen, but then she thought about it, in the queen mother's palace, no matter how bold the queen was, she would not dare to act like this.
When the queen cared enough about Princess Jin, Concubine Cheng let go of Ruotang's hand and walked to the bedside of Princess Jin, pursed her lips with a smile, and looked at the uncomfortable Princess Jin, "It looks a lot better these days, thanks to the careful care of the Queen Mother and her old man, when I worship the Buddha on weekdays, I also ask the Bodhisattva for a lot of blessings, and bless you to give birth to the child in your womb smoothly." ”
Princess Jin was obviously a little unbearable in the face of her loving look, she lowered her head slightly, and said in a dry tone: "Let the mother concubine bother." ”
Cheng Guifei shook her hand, "Silly boy, what are you talking about?" At the age of the mother, there is no other luxury, I just hope that you and Chuan'er will have a good time, and the mother concubine will be satisfied. ”
After she finished speaking, she looked at Princess Jin with affection.
Not to mention Princess Jin, even Ruotang heard it, this concubine Cheng is here to be a lobbyist for her son!
"Sister Cheng should be very relieved." When the queen heard this, she covered her mouth and smiled, "Fleur is now a treasure that everyone holds in the palm of her hand, who dares to let her be bad, not to mention that the queen mother will not let her old man let it go, and the palace will not let it go!" As for King Jin, isn't he very good now, I heard that he is more calm and reassuring than before. ”
Since Shen Ruolan's burial, the Jin Palace's palace has been closed, the King of Jin has not been out all day long, and the emperor seems to have forgotten this, and after Princess Guoan died, he was not summoned to the palace to appease him. With such a look, the queen is naturally relieved.
"But Sister Cheng, don't worry, King Jin is alone in the house and no one takes care of him, didn't the emperor reward two beauties to serve King Jin two days ago? The King of Jin has someone to serve, and if you want to come to the princess of Jin, she can also raise the baby with more peace of mind. ”
Ruotang frowned slightly, and looked at the worried princess of Chaojin.
Princess Jin's expression remained unchanged, and she even hooked her lips lightly, "It's still the father's understanding, it's all Fu Rui's incompetence, otherwise I won't be tired of my father worrying about the prince." ”
Ruotang was relieved when he saw this.
This queen not only stabbed the heart of the concubine, but also did not let go of the princess of Jin. If it weren't for the fact that Princess Jin had already been disappointed in King Jin, her words would really make Princess Jin feel sick, and her body, which had been tossed several times, would definitely not be able to survive because of this heart disease.
"You're a good sensible boy." Concubine Cheng shook Princess Jin's hand again, and said with a relieved smile, "Concubine Mother has always said to Chuan'er that if he can marry you, it must be a blessing that he has cultivated for unknown generations." Now it is inconvenient for him to come to see you, and he has sent a lot of things to the concubine, and after a while, the imperial doctor will be examined, and the concubine will send it to you. That's all on his mind. ”
When she said this, she tightened Princess Jin's hand.
Princess Jin seemed to be in a little pain, and twitched her hand uneasily, but she couldn't pull her hand out.
Ruotang frowned and wanted to step forward, but was pulled by Mama Zhao, who was standing behind her with her eyes down.
"Alright, alright." The Queen Mother, who hadn't spoken for a long time, finally began to drive people away, "The people also saw it, so they all dispersed, and it was time for Fleur to take a lunch break." ”
The queen and Concubine Cheng both said goodbye and left.
Ruotang was embarrassed to stay for a long time, so he also retired and left.
Mama Zhao sent her out.
"Do you wonder why the old slave stopped you just now?" Mama Zhao held her hand, looked around, and then asked in a low voice.
"Mama has her own intentions, but I see that my sister is really hard to deal with, and it is not so easy to come to this palace, right?" Ruotang couldn't hide his worries and said.
"You're right." Mama Zhao also sighed, "Although there is the Queen Mother in the way, there are always two times out of the five times that it is not good to stop people outside, not to mention, Concubine Cheng is the mother of the King of Jin." ”
"yes, it's hard for my sister."
"Do you know that just now, Concubine Cheng is not as simple as just shaking the girl's hand, she must have tried her best to stuff a note for the girl, asking the girl to cooperate with her."
"What?" Ruotang was taken aback, and then understood, "Is she trying to borrow the child in her sister's womb to plot the queen?" ”
And listening to Mama Zhao's meaning, this is not the first time that Concubine Cheng has had such an idea.
Mama Zhao glanced at Ruotang appreciatively, "Now the girl's belly is expensive, if the queen ...... There is a mother who is accused of murdering the emperor's heir, but I am afraid that the whole dynasty will be in an uproar. In this way, it can not only bring down the queen, but also blow Tai, such a good opportunity, how can Concubine Cheng give up without seeing it? ”
But in order to achieve her goal, she completely disregarded her sister's safety! The two of them are really the same kind of ruthlessness! ”
"She naturally has a saying, saying that it is just a show, and she will ensure the safety of the girl's mother." Mama Zhao sighed, "I thought that the girl would be safe when she hid in the Queen Mother's palace, but ...... thought of it."
"Why didn't you tell the Queen Mother about this?" Ruotang was a little puzzled, Princess Jin is now only thinking about the child in her belly, even if it is Concubine Cheng, don't think about beating her child. Princess Jin is always strong in sex, how could she let Concubine Cheng beat her mind again and again?
Mama Zhao smiled bitterly: "Cheng Guifei is very good at pretending to be pitiful, crying in front of the girl a few times, the girl can't bear to do things too much, how can I think of the girl's silence, but it makes Cheng Guifei more and more kicked her nose and face." ”
"When you go back, tell your sister and let her pretend to be sick." Anyway, Princess Jin is not in good health, and it is very easy to pretend to be sick, "Just tell the Queen Mother that my sister is too tired and mentally conscious, and she has to recuperate quietly." In this way, the Queen Mother will no longer let the queen and Concubine Cheng go to disturb her sister. ”
"For the sake of today, this is the only way." Mama Zhao sighed, "But you don't have to worry, there is an old slave, and she will definitely take good care of the girl, so that she can give birth to the little master safely." But in the future, what should I do? ”
"Backwards?" Ruotang was stunned, yes, will everything be over when she gives birth to a child safely? No, can Princess Jin live in the Queen Mother's palace for the rest of her life? At that time, she still has to go back to the Jin Palace, and she still has to live with the King of Jin. Maybe there will be more bad things, everything will be fine because the child is born, the Pingguo Mansion will not be able to go back, the King of Jin can't afford to lose this face, and the emperor can't afford to lose this face, otherwise this time he would not have rejected the request of Pingguo Gong and stuffed the Jin princess to the queen mother. In the future, what should I do?
……
The Temple of Nourishing the Heart.
The emperor leaned on the dragon chair with a tired face and closed his eyes to recuperate, and Concubine Cheng stood behind him, gently and carefully pinching his shoulders and neck.
"Does the emperor feel better?" After a while, Concubine Cheng asked softly.
The emperor squeezed her hand, "It's much better, it's hard to love the concubine." ”
Concubine Cheng sneered: "What is the emperor's words, but doing such a small thing for the emperor, how can it be said that it is hard?" It's just that the concubine hasn't seen you for some days, so I don't know if the concubine's craftsmanship is unfamiliar? ”
"Aifei, is this complaining that I have been to you less these days?" The emperor said with a smile: "Who in the palace doesn't know, your skills are the best, every time you rub me a few times, you can relieve fatigue and fatigue." ”
"Don't dare to be a concubine like this." Concubine Cheng pursed her lips and smiled, "The best craftsmanship in this palace is the ...... of Sister Rong."
Before she finished speaking, her face changed greatly, as if she had said the wrong thing, and she hurriedly bowed her head and knelt down with her skirt down, "The emperor forgives the sin, the concubine is an unintentional mistake, and the concubine should not be quick to speak for a while, and ask the emperor for forgiveness." ”
The emperor glanced down at Cheng Guifei's panicked appearance, his cheek muscles, which were rarely warm, jumped hard, and his eyes fell on Cheng Guifei, as if he remembered something extremely embarrassing, and his hands holding the chair handle tightened hard, as if he was going to break the chair handle, and then said expressionlessly for a moment: "Get up." ”
"Your Majesty." Concubine Cheng got up tremblingly, this time she didn't dare to speak as freely as before, she looked cautious, and opened the food box she brought, "This is a vegetarian plum cake made by the concubine herself, the emperor can taste it?" There is also this wine, which was picked by the concubine of the last year, and the first snow on the plum blossom was brewed together with the plum that has not bloomed, and it took a few steaming and drying to get such a small bottle, and it was dug up after burying it under the plum tree for a year, and the emperor tried the taste good? ”
As she spoke, she poured a glass of wine for the emperor with beautiful movements, and when she handed it forward, she saw that the emperor was staring at the cup in her hand with slightly squinted eyes, and became more cautious, "Your Majesty?" ”
"Where did you get this method of making wine?" The emperor didn't stretch out his hand to take it, but only asked in a cold voice.
Concubine Cheng was busy kneeling down again, "This is what the concubine occasionally saw in a broken book, I don't know...... Is there something wrong with that? ”
Of course, this is not the method she saw in the remnants, but she saw Concubine Rong's slut brewing such plum wine with her own eyes. At that time, she was still a talented person with no grace, but the woman who appeared out of thin air was named Concubine Rong and favored the harem alone. She had seen the emperor and Concubine Rong together from afar, and no one could make the emperor show such a happy and loving look. Even if Concubine Rong later became a taboo that no one could talk about, even if the emperor was furious every time he mentioned Concubine Rong, but under her attention, she saw the emperor haunt the former Ronghua Hall of Concubine Rong many times!
She has already figured out the emperor's temperament clearly, how much he loved Concubine Rong in the past, since Concubine Rong disappeared, how much he hated Concubine Rong, and even the cheap seed left by Concubine Rong, the emperor gritted his teeth with hatred.
Although this is the case, as the father of that scumbag, he can't kill that as he wants, otherwise he will bear the stigma of unkindness, presumably that is a hidden hatred that has plagued him for more than ten years. Otherwise, there would not have been such a move in private. She got a glimpse of the emperor's heart knot, and naturally wanted to use this heart knot to avenge her son.
The emperor was slightly stunned, as if he had fallen into some far-reaching memory, in which there was a woman with beautiful eyebrows, whose smile touched his heart, and her crisp silver bell laughter seemed to be heard in his ears.
"Your Majesty, your palace is really big, and there are so many beauties. With so many beauties, will you forget me one day? ”
"Your Majesty, did you really reward me with such a big plum garden? Wow, Your Majesty, you're so nice. "Low-profile zoning.
"Your Majesty, come on, there is a milk cat trapped in the tree, it is very scared, so pitiful, can you save it?"
"The emperor is here, come and taste my newly brewed osmanthus wine, but it takes a lot of work, it is all rootless water that I personally collected in the morning."
"Your Majesty, I brewed plum blossom wine again, and the book said that I would pick the plum blossoms that would not bloom and the first snow in early winter. You know, there is no snow in our Ryu country, and I have wanted to make this sake for a long time, but I didn't expect to finally have the opportunity to make it. ”
"Your Majesty, will you really be kind to this child and treat him as your own?"
……
The emperor woke up from his memories violently, his eyes squinted angrily, and the cold air in his eyes surged!
Why! Why should he consider that wild seed his own!
He is the emperor of Great Chu, and he loves her with all his heart, but she runs away from him without saying a word!
She was so ruthless to him, so she should blame him for being ruthless to her son!
"Your Majesty?" Cheng Guifei shouted cautiously.
Emperor Tie Qing's expression slowly returned to normal, and he said lightly: "Get up, I will taste how your wine tastes." ”
Concubine Cheng was overjoyed, and hurriedly got up and handed the wine glass to the emperor again, "You are a good wine person, if you have any shortcomings, you have to teach the concubines to be." ”
Serving the emperor drank two glasses of wine, and ate a few bites of side dishes, seeing that the emperor's expression had completely returned to normal, Cheng Guifei said with a smile, "Today, Princess Xiang came into the palace to greet the Queen Mother and her old man, and when it came to the way of winemaking, the concubine listened to a few words, and I didn't want Princess Xiang to be young, and when it came to winemaking, it was like a treasure, so that the concubine also had to admire." ”
The emperor's brows furrowed unconsciously, and he only asked casually, "What is she doing when she comes to the palace?" ”
Concubine Cheng didn't realize it, and still said with a smile, "It is said that the concubine you rewarded in the palace even dared to beat her, and she specially entered the palace to ask the queen mother and her old man to call the shots." The queen mother has always been kind-hearted and loves her juniors, and when Princess Xiang begged, she naturally gave her an edict to rectify the palace, saying that as long as she made a mistake, she would beat and scold her. ”
The emperor's eyes narrowed dangerously again, "How dare she hit the Queen Mother with her idea?" However, I underestimated her ---- obedience, and passed on my will, telling them to be careful and not to leave behind the handle and evidence. ”
……
The road to the palace was smooth, but there was an accident on the way home.
Ruotang's carriage was stopped, she listened calmly and calmly to Shen Youjia's shouting and scolding outside, and stopped Cai Qing who wanted to open his mouth to fight back, "It's just a barking dog, just bark, you have to deal with him, but you have lowered your identity and style." Didn't the little uncle say it, the Shen family handed it over to him, and while the Shen family was still there, Shen Youjia could still jump, let him jump enough. ”
Cai Qing muttered: "Uncle Xiao is really, it's been a few days, why hasn't the Shen family moved at all?" Niangniang, should we go to Furen Hutong and ask? ”
"You're more anxious than I am." Ruotang glared at her, and said slowly: "The little uncle has his own arrangements, you just keep your eyes open, the little uncle was originally dissatisfied with the Shen family, and then I knew that my mother couldn't get rid of the Shen family, and the fate of the Shen family was ----"
Ruotang paused and sneered, "You just need to mourn for them." ”
"Silent mourning? I wish I could rush to the Shen Mansion right now and spray their faces full of spittle! It's all human-faced and beast-hearted things, and I just hope that my uncle can trample them into the mud and never be reborn, so that can solve the hatred in my heart! Cai Qing said angrily.
"Don't worry, my uncle only hates the Shen family more than you."
Cai Qinghu glanced at Ruotang suspiciously, "But Niangniang, why are you ...... Your reaction was so flat, Madam was killed by the Shen family! ”
"When I'm sad and angry, can I let you see it?" Ruotang said casually, and secretly vigilant in his heart, he had to pay attention in front of the Zhou family, even Cai Qing could see that there was a problem with her attitude towards Zhou's death, and the people of the Zhou family would definitely be more able to see the problem.
However, Cai Qing has always been very foolish, and nodded when he heard this: "This is also true." Even the slaves and maids hate the people of the Shen family to death, Niangniang, you only hate more in your heart, I really hope to see the retribution of the Shen family soon! ”
After a while, the outside became quiet again, thinking that the palace was driving people away, and the carriage was about to start, when I heard Cai Qing sigh, "Niangniang, the little uncle beckoned to us in the Skylark Tower, this is what it means for us to go up and talk, right?" ”
"You see clearly, is it really a little uncle?" This little uncle is quite a doorman, and he even knows about her entering the palace today?
"The slave's eyesight is very good, can she still see the difference?" Cai Qing is very confident in her eyesight.
Worried that Chu Qianlan was waiting in the mansion in a hurry, Ruotang thought about it, and ordered someone to go back to tell him first, and then got out of the carriage with Cai Qing, and it just so happened that she also had something to ask her uncle.
……
"Little uncle." Ruotang entered the door and showed Zhou Houyuan the red eyes she had rubbed when she went upstairs just now, which was evidence of her "sadness and grief".
Zhou Houyuan saw it, and really showed pity, "Your mother has passed away for so many years, if she has a spirit in the sky, she definitely doesn't want to see you so sad and sad for her death." The living are the most important, it is inevitable to be sad and sad, but you must also take care of your own body. ”
"Hmm." Ruotang nodded in a thick nasal voice, "Uncle and uncle too, originally the uncle was very sad and blamed himself because of his mother's death, but now let him know that his mother was killed by someone, I'm afraid he will be even more unbearable." You have to hide this from your grandfather. ”
"It must be hidden." Zhou Houyuan divided the tea and handed it to Ruotang, "Have you entered the palace?" ”
"Well, I begged the Queen Mother to ask for a message." Ruotang said truthfully, "The emperor gave the concubines down, and with the queen mother's message, I can let go and clean them up." Otherwise, if the emperor blames him, how can I bear it. ”
"Emperor......" Zhou Houyuan groaned, and suddenly showed a strange sneer, "Relying on himself to be the emperor, he plays with everyone in the palm of his hand, and this emperor is not a good bird." ”
Ruotang almost squirted out a mouthful of tea, this little uncle despises the emperor and the monarch so much, he is really an authentic ancient?
"What are you afraid of, there are only you and me in this room." Zhou Houyuan glanced at her stunned, "I'll just say this in front of you, if you are afraid, I won't say it in the future." ”
"I'm not afraid." Ruotang hurriedly swallowed the tea in his mouth, "You just said it too suddenly, I was shocked." To tell you the truth, I also think that the emperor is not a good bird, and he is so kind to his own children? It really makes people want to peel off his head and see how long the brain circuits are inside. ”
