Chapter 25 Meet the Queen Mother
Jing Guiren walked in the imperial garden, and heard that the emperor punished a little eunuch again, and the little eunuch served the emperor's tea, which was piping hot, and the angry emperor directly threw the teacup on the little eunuch's face, and kicked the little eunuch out two meters away.
This is the third time, the emperor has always been benevolent and generous to the palace people. It's just that during this time, the emperor doesn't know what's wrong? The mood is particularly bad, and everyone in the palace is in danger.
Even the concubines in the palace didn't dare to come to the emperor. It's important to be favored, but life is the most important thing, isn't it? If you annoy the emperor, let alone favor, your life will be gone, and the gains will outweigh the losses.
So for a while, the concubines in the palace also quieted down. No one dared to go to the emperor to make up.
In the past half a month, only the queen has been to the imperial study, and Concubine Li has also been there once, but the emperor has not seen her.
The reason why Jing Guiren came to the Imperial Garden today is because he is really depressed in Biluo Palace. Since Concubine Xian became pregnant, she has been closed doors. She didn't even have anyone to talk to.
She was looking at the green chrysanthemum in front of her, and as soon as she looked up, she saw the Seventh Prince walking towards her from a distance.
Although she is not afraid of him, but in the palace, there are many people, and she is the identity of the palace concubine.
"Let's go." Jing Guiren instructed Yuzhuo.
Jing Guiren had obviously avoided the Seventh Prince, but he still ran into the oncoming Seventh Prince.
Damn it! Jing Guiren scolded in his heart. Every time she came to the Imperial Garden, she got lost.
It's really because of the imperial garden of the Tanglin Kingdom, the traffic is like a labyrinth.
Where did she hide from the Seventh Prince, who was bent on bumping into her? After all, people grew up in the palace since childhood, right? Naturally, I am familiar with this imperial garden.
"Jing Guiren seems to be very afraid to see this king?" The Seventh Prince seemed to be smiling.
"Where is this the Seventh Prince?" Jing Guiren also smiled.
Jing Guiren wanted to leave, but the Seventh Prince didn't stop him, but only whispered, "I originally thought that the imperial brother treated you differently, but now it seems that it is nothing more than that." ”
"It's really embarrassing that I deliberately asked the imperial brother for you in the first place!"
Jing Guiren frowned, and asked in a cold voice, "What do you mean by this, Seventh Prince?" The concubine didn't understand. ”
"Naturally, you don't understand, this is my secret with the imperial brother." The Seventh Prince smiled and walked away. It's just that laughter, it sounds a little creepy!
Jing Guiren frowned and left.
The secret of the Seven Princes and the Emperor? How did their secrets involve her?
Listening to Mu Lingchen's meaning, he deliberately asked the emperor for her at the beginning. What was his purpose in doing this?
And what about the emperor's thoughts? After Mu Lingchen begged for it, he actually took her into the palace. Just take it in, and never ask.
These two brothers are full of secrets! They are all people who are incomprehensible. It's really a half-brother.
Half-sibling? By the way, maybe you can find out something from the Queen Mother!
Today's queen mother is the concubine of the first emperor, and now the emperor, the biological mother is just a nobleman, after giving birth to the emperor, the blood collapsed, and after the nobleman died, the emperor was raised under the name of the concubine.
And then the concubine gave birth to the current Seventh Prince.
Speaking of which, the Queen Mother and the Seventh Prince are the real family? And Mu Lingxuan was just a light a few years older than the Seventh Prince.
The crown prince was deposed, and the second prince and the third prince fought for the throne. In the end, it was cheaper for Mu Lingxuan, the fifth prince.
As for the fourth prince, it was a sick seedling. Naturally, it was impossible for the first emperor to appoint a sick seedling as the prince.
And the six princes, it is said that they are attached to the life of idle clouds and wild cranes, and have no intention of the throne, and are only willing to be a rich and idle king.
However, she thinks that the sixth prince is very smart. I heard that the biological mother of the six princes was only promoted to a noble concubine after giving birth to the prince, and the status of the mother's family is not prominent, so if the six princes participate in the battle for the throne, they can only become cannon fodder.
It's better to take the lead and take the lead and have no intention of taking the throne. At that time, no matter who ascends the throne as emperor, he will be able to open up to him.
Now it seems to her that there is a gap between the emperor and the seventh prince. And the Seventh Prince has no desire for the throne, but he has a grudge against the emperor. And the emperor has a kind of guilt for the Seventh Prince!
Why is that?
Coming out of the Imperial Garden, Jing Guiren suddenly said that he was going to ask the Queen Mother for peace.
For the nobles who are willing to form gangs and go to the queen mother, Yuzhuo is naturally in favor. However, I was worried that if I slapped the horse's ass on the horse's buttocks, I would not please the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother would be disgusted.
So Yuzhuo said, "Noble, at this time, the Queen Mother should be taking a nap." It's better for the nobles to go back and rest for a while, and then ask Mama Kong, the queen mother's preferences. After all, the first time I went to the Queen Mother to say goodbye, I took something to go, and it was not strange that there were many people! ”
For Yuzhuo's carefulness, Jing Guiren is very satisfied. "Yuzhuo, you're really good."
Jing Guiren praised Yuzhuo like this, and Yuzhuo's face turned red.
Jing Guiren wanted to go to the Queen Mother to say goodbye, but Mama Kong just reminded carefully, "The Queen Mother has always cared about palace affairs, and the Queen Mother and the Emperor have always respected each other like guests." When the nobles go to greet the Queen Mother, they can just point to the end, and they don't have to be overly enthusiastic. ”
The meaning of Mama Kong's words is understood by Jing Guiren. It's nothing more than that the Queen Mother doesn't care about palace affairs, and it doesn't matter if she has a close relationship with the Queen Mother.
And the emperor is not born to the Queen Mother, so naturally he will not be too close to the Queen Mother. So she can't be too close to the Queen Mother, in case it won't be good if the emperor cares.
Jing Guiren sat in front of the dresser, took off the tassel on his head, and replaced it with a pink beaded flower.
The Queen Mother likes to be plain, but she can't be dressed all over! Isn't that a royal disgrace?
"I brought a string of Buddhist beads when I entered the palace, which was asked for from Xiangguo Temple. Yurun, you go find it, I want to give it to the Queen Mother. Jing Guiren took off the red agate bracelet on his wrist and replaced it with a Hetian jade bracelet, and instructed Yurun.
The Queen Mother's Shoukang Palace is naturally magnificent, anyway, it is more magnificent than her Biluo Palace. Even the vermilion lacquer gate of this Shoukang Palace seems to be more red than the palace next to it.
It seems that the emperor is really generous to the Queen Mother!
entered the Queen Mother's palace, but found that the coincidental Seventh Princess was also talking to the Queen Mother inside.
When she was drafted, the Seventh Princess Zhou Qiongqing was behind her. When the seventh prince wanted to marry her as a princess, Zhou Qiongqing understood it like a mirror in her heart. Now that the seventh princess finally entered the palace to talk to the queen mother, she went in again and intervened, didn't it make it clear that she wanted to give Zhou Qiongqing a dismount?
Although she is not afraid of the result of being hated, it is better to have more than one thing. After all, this is in the palace of the Tanglin Kingdom, not in her Western Chu Kingdom. She is no longer the princess of the Western Chu Kingdom, but a small nobleman in the Tanglin Kingdom.
She was about to leave, but a palace maid found her. She had seen the palace maid and served in front of the Queen Mother. In other words, if she sees it, it means that the Queen Mother also knows. At this time, the maid of the palace had already come over to greet her. She couldn't leave if she wanted to.
She thought about it for a while, and took the Buddha bead from Yuzhuo's hand and gave it to the palace maid. And instructed, "I am the Buddha beads I asked for from Xiangguo Temple, you give them to the Queen Mother for me!" ”
"Since the Queen Mother has guests here, I won't go in and disturb."
The palace maid responded, and the Jing nobleman had already walked to the door, and the palace maid ran out in a hurry and stopped the Jing nobleman.
"Jing nobleman, the queen mother knew that the nobleman was coming, and said that the Buddhist beads sent by the nobleman were very kind, so she specially ordered the slave maid to say it and let the nobleman wait for a while. After talking to the Seventh Princess later, I will invite the nobles to come in and talk. ”
The palace maid said this in a somewhat eager tone, just to let her wait outside for the queen mother's summons?
Jing Guiren understands that this queen mother is supporting her own daughter-in-law?
It's like an ordinary people's home, where the mother-in-law supports her decent daughter-in-law and doesn't let those wild flowers and weeds outside enter the door.
I can't imagine that the Queen Mother still has such a calf protection side? It can also be seen from this that the Queen Mother is still humane. And he also likes and loves his own son and daughter-in-law.
Sure enough, as she expected, the Queen Mother was going to hang her.
It's boring enough to wait, and it's tiring to stand!
At this time, she had the leisure to look at the queen mother's courtyard.
Fresh and elegant, really good.
The most interesting thing is that in the middle of the palace of the Queen Mother, there is a large vat. Inside the jar should be a lotus flower. Now that the lotus flowers are out of season, the fish inside are still there. Red, white, black, yellow, all finger-sized fish.
Swimming back and forth tail by tail, it is cute.
"Jing Guiren is actually here?"
She was fascinated and taken aback.
Without looking back, just listening to the voice, she knew that the evil star was coming again. She furrowed her brow and closed her eyes in despair. When I looked back, I had already changed to a just right smile.
"The Seventh Prince is well." The quiet nobles saluted and greeted in a proper manner.
The Seventh Prince also greeted her in a proper manner, "Hello Jing noble." ”
Then he asked, "Why are you waiting here?" Could it be that he was rejected by the queen mother? ”
When the Seventh Prince said this, he still had a wicked smile on his face.
Jing Guiren scolded secretly in his heart, since he saw it, he asked. Isn't that a deliberate attempt to embarrass her?
One of the two people was laughing, and the other was holding back some emotion. If outsiders see it, they will inevitably think it is flirting?
And coincidentally, the Queen Mother and the Seventh Princess heard the movement, and when they came out, they happened to see this scene.
After all, the Seventh Princes had just arrived, and the palace people all saluted the Seventh Princes together.
That's a lot of movement! Although the Queen Mother is old and her ears are not deaf, she naturally hears it.
Seeing this scene, the Queen Mother was directly angry.
"Ling Chen, don't come in yet, your princess has been waiting for you for a long time."
"Here we are." The Seventh Prince responded, and seemed to be in a good mood.
This guy definitely did it on purpose! Such an idea popped up in Jing Guiren's heart.
"Jing Guiren come in too!" The Queen Mother was about to go in, so she said this lightly.
Jing Guiren was busy and flattered.
The Queen Mother only spoke to the Seventh Prince and the Seventh Princess, and left Jing Guiren aside.
Jing Guiren didn't want to be annoyed, so he sat dryly and didn't say a word.
The Queen Mother also said that let the Seventh Prince and the Seventh Princess work harder, and strive to let her hold her grandson as soon as possible.
mentioned the Jing nobles again, and the Queen Mother said, "Although the Jing nobles have just entered the palace, don't be in a hurry, and strive to open up the branches and leaves for the emperor as soon as possible." ”
Jing Guiren muttered in his heart, spreading the branches? The emperor doesn't sleep with her, how can she spread her branches?
Because her thoughts were too shameless, she laughed herself. And because he couldn't hold back his smile, his little face was red.
She responded in a low voice, "Yes, the concubine must follow the instructions of the Queen Mother." ”
The flush on her face seemed to others to be shy. After all, Jing Guiren hasn't slept yet, so why is it still a yellow flower girl? The Queen Mother talked to her about spreading branches and leaves, can people not blush?
The Queen Mother saw that Jing Guiren still knew that she was blushing, and she saw that Jing Guiren was honest, and she didn't dare to speak from the time she entered the door, so she felt a little less in her heart. He slowed down and said in a harmonious tone, "The Buddha beads that Jing Guiren gave to the mourning family, the mourning family likes it very much, and Jing Guiren has a heart." ”
"It's good that the Queen Mother likes it, and being able to get the Queen Mother's Buddha spirit is the blessing of this Buddha bead."
Jing Guiren is very good at talking, and the Queen Mother is very happy.
So the Queen Mother asked Jing Guiren to drink tea, "Jing Guiren can taste the new tea in the mourning palace!" ”
"Empress Dowager Xie."
Jing Guiren picked up the teacup and drank tea, but she was thinking in her heart that she would leave after drinking this cup of tea and never come again.
After all, the Queen Mother doesn't want to see her, why should she humiliate herself?
She had just put down her teacup, and her words of farewell had not yet been spoken. There was movement outside.
"The emperor has arrived!"
The emperor is coming?
