Chapter 25: The Empress Dowager
Three days later, the ban was finally lifted.
The first distinguished guest ushered in was not Yu Wenhe.
Rather, the Empress Dowager.
Early in the morning, Liang Qiu Yayin announced that the poison on Xiao Ruyue's body had been cured, and as soon as the ban on Feng Palace was lifted, the Empress Dowager arrived.
The women's army hadn't even had time to withdraw.
"I heard you've been sick for a few days, but you're getting better?" The Empress Dowager was on a dragon's head crutch, condescending, and her phoenix eyes were squinting.
This graceful and luxurious woman has been in power all her life, but now her silver hair is full of silver threads, but she can't detract from half of her majesty, and the wrinkles on her face have also given her a little taste for many days.
Xiao Ruyue had just cleared the remaining poison from her body, her face lacked blood, and she looked slightly pale.
But in the face of the empress dowager, who had no good intentions and didn't have a good impression of her, she didn't bother to decorate her face with rouge, so she simply came out with a plain face.
She bowed in front of the Empress Dowager, and replied softly: "Back to the Empress Dowager's words, the concubines have been much better." ”
She didn't miss Ye Haitang, who was beside the Empress Dowager and looked surprised.
Presumably, Ye Haitang had thousands of questions in her heart at this time, such as how she was so good, such as who was the person who detoxified her, and so on.
If she was really the mastermind behind the poisoning, then in the past few days, she would be extremely indignant because the king was not in the Lucky Glass Pavilion.
"Since it's much better, why is your face still so ugly?" The Empress Dowager frowned, she didn't like her to put it on the surface, and she was too lazy to cover it up at this time.
Xiao Ruyue smiled and didn't care.
Who knew that the Empress Dowager then said: "You have been sick these days, and the emperor has not come to see you, you don't have to hold grudges, the harem is the emperor's harem, and it is not a little less than you as a queen." ”
But that's a bit mean.
The Empress Dowager didn't even let Xiao Ruyue get up, she let her kneel like this, completely inconsiderate of her patient's physical discomfort.
Xiao Ruyue immediately retorted, "The Empress Dowager's words make the concubines puzzled, what does it mean that the harem is originally the king, and the young ministers and concubines are not a little queen?" Could it be that the Empress Dowager can't see the concubine, the princess of Daling, dominating the position of the queen of Great Xia? ”
These words are aggressive, although he is sick, his momentum is majestic and cannot be bullied.
If she hadn't behaved impulsively and domineeringly, she wouldn't be a worry-free princess from Tanglin. Although Tanglin is worried about internal and external troubles, but the tiger still exists, she, the princess from Tanglin, why should she be afraid of the little queen mother of Xixia?
Don't forget that she has already given people a dismount before she enters the palace.
The Empress Dowager was even more disgusted when she arrived at the gate of the palace on that day, but she insisted on refusing to enter the palace.
However, even if there was no day, the Empress Dowager would not be polite to her.
After speaking, she softened her tone again, looked like an innocent little sheep, and said slowly: "The empress dowager is the grandmother of the king, and she is also the grandmother of the concubine, and the concubine should be filial, but your old words granddaughter-in-law really don't understand, and ask the grandmother to point out one or two." ”
The Empress Dowager's face immediately changed.
"You are presumptuous! Do you know who you're talking to? ”
"The concubine is naturally clear in her heart." Xiao Ruyue spoke, and stood up by herself.
In the Empress Dowager's incredulous and murderous gaze, she smiled and said: "Imperial grandmother, granddaughter-in-law has just recovered from her illness, and her body is too weak to kneel for a long time. Don't be angry. It's not worth it when you're angry. ”
"You...... You are bold! ”
"Imperial grandmother, granddaughter-in-law don't dare. You like Ye Guifei, your granddaughter-in-law understands in her heart, but in the end, I am the queen of the main palace of this Great Xia, right? According to the folk name, Ye Guifei said that it is better, that is, it is a partial house. ”
The Empress Dowager's face turned green now, "You are presumptuous!" ”
Ye Haitang's face is not to mention how exciting. Looking at her resentful gaze, it seems that she wants to rush up and give her two slaps?
A noble concubine, although not as noble as the queen, is so said to be a partial house, it is strange that she can not be angry.
What's more, Ye Haitang is still the princess of Tatar.
"Grandmother, don't be angry, don't be angry. If you are angry and hurt yourself, your granddaughter-in-law can only go to the doctor. Xiao Ruyue sat down elegantly with Yinlin's support.
With a harmless smile on his face, he couldn't see the domineering appearance just now.
The Empress Dowager gritted her teeth in anger, and almost broke the three-inch-long armor on her little finger.
"Don't be arrogant, you Tanglin woman!"
"The Empress Dowager is wrong, the concubine is the queen of Great Xia and the mother of a country. As the saying goes, marry a beggar with a beggar, marry a concubine with a beggar, since the concubine is already the queen of the monarch, she is naturally also the people of Daxia. ”
The Empress Dowager was completely angry at this time, and she slapped the table angrily and shrugged up, "You woman, you are so presumptuous!" Begonia, let's go! ”
Before leaving, he did not forget to greet Concubine Shangye affectionately.
"The concubine sends the Empress Dowager." Xiao Ruyue looked at her back and went out, and then she raised her voice and shouted.
I saw the back of the Queen Mother, and then I started to tremble. It's not light to think about it.
Ye Haitang comforted him repeatedly.
Now, in the eyes of the Empress Dowager, Ye Haitang has completely become an empathetic and weak woman, and she has undoubtedly become a fierce woman.
But so what?
After a while, the Empress Dowager and Ye Haitang and their servants had already walked away.
"This Empress Dowager is really annoying!" The green clothes stomped their feet.
Xiao Ruyue wanted to comfort her, but suddenly heard Yinlin, who had never spoken much, and said inexplicably-
"It's so relieving."
Burst......
Xiao Ruyue couldn't help but be impressed by her.
"This grandmother of your emperor is really interesting, where does anyone always think that his grandson should not be spoiled by his wife? Is that woman really that good? ”
Liang Qiu Yayin only came out from behind at this time.
When there are outsiders, she will not appear, especially when the Empress Dowager and Ye Haitang are present.
The corners of Xiao Ruyue's mouth lifted slightly, and she said with a smile: "These royal secrets are really not enough for outsiders. ”
As soon as she said this, Liang Qiu Yayin understood what she meant.
Yinlin made sure that there was nothing to do here, so he said: "Niangniang, the slave and maid will go to the king." Then he stepped back.
Green Yi and Liang Qiu Yayin helped Xiao Ruyue back to the dormitory and asked her to lie down and rest.
Although the toxins on her body have been emptied, her body is still weak, and what Xiao Ruyue said to the Queen Mother is that her weak body is not an excuse.
"Sister Yayin, just now you were looking at that Ye Guifei in the dark, did you see any doorway?"
Liang Qiu Yayin thought for a moment, "Well, I smell a strange aroma, not like ordinary rouge gouache. But for a moment I couldn't say what it was. But there was no other clue in the woman. I'm not sure if she's from the Red Sleeves Building, or if this thing came from her. ”
Xiao Ruyue nodded, "I understand, Sister Yayin." ”
Not long after Eun Lin left, Yu Wenhe came.
Perhaps he was in a hurry, but his steps were a little fast.
When he entered the door and saw Xiao Ruyue resting in bed, the smile on his face instantly decreased a few points, and his sword eyebrows narrowed slightly-
"Didn't you say yes?"
"Illness comes like a mountain, illness goes like a thread, where you say it's good, you can get better immediately." Xiao Ruyue is funny.
Yu Wenhe sat on the edge of her bed anxiously and took her hand, "The Empress Dowager has passed?" Still embarrassed for you? ”
Xiao Ruyue glanced at Yinlin when she heard this.
Yinlin must have told him everything that happened on the way here. Where is the empress dowager difficult for her, it is clear that she has no respect for her elders, and she offends the empress dowager, an elder.
Therefore, Xiao Ruyue shook her head with a smile, "The Empress Dowager has probably scolded me several times at this time." ”
When Yu Wenhe heard her say this, his thin lips rose high, "It's really cheap, that Ye Guifei." ”
Xiao Ruyue couldn't help laughing.
The emperor and queen talked to each other, and Yinlin and Greenyi both retreated. Liangqiu Yayin was not an unknown person, so he went out with them.
At the door, Liang Qiu Yayin muttered: "It is said that the emperor is ruthless, but this emperor looks a little different." Like a husband. ”
The green clothes covered their mouths and smiled "poof", but they really couldn't hold back.
Yin Lin said in a low voice: "If the king is not the emperor, he will be happier." ”
As soon as these words came out, Liang Qiu Yayin and Green Yi looked at her one after another: "What do you mean by this?" ”
One door away.
Yuwen He took Xiao Ruyue's hand and refused to let go, but Xiao Ruyue was still a little tired, and her eyelids kept fighting.
"The king's political affairs are important, whether it is ......"
Without waiting for Xiao Ruyue to finish speaking, Yu Wenhe interrupted, "It's okay, I'll watch you fall asleep before leaving." ”
Looking at it like this, it does look like an ordinary couple.
Xiao Ruyue always plays drums in her heart, what is wrong with Yu Wenhe? His kindness to her has long surpassed the love between men and women in her cognition, and an emperor will care for a woman simply because she is his queen and his wife?
It is said that it is an emperor, and the husband of an ordinary family may not be able to do this to his wife.
And between her and Yu Wenhe, she hasn't experienced those storms and waves that can enhance their relationship, right?
But these questions are impossible to ask.
Xiao Ruyue's body was weak, and she soon fell asleep again.
In the past three days, she has been constantly drinking medicine and inducing vomiting, and Liangqiu Yayin gave her acupuncture and moxibustion, and took a bath to help detoxification.
In Liang Qiu Yayin's mouth, it was a faint three days, but in actual operation, it was a hundred times harder than imagined.
Fortunately, she survived.
She didn't plan to say these painful processes to Yu Wenhe, and also asked Yinlin and Greenyi not to say more.
Some words are too much to say, and not necessarily good.
After listening to Xiao Ruyue's breathing undulating evenly, and watching her sleep peacefully, Yu Wenhe tucked the quilt corner for her and exited the door. I closed the door with my hand.
Yinlin and Luyi were waiting at the door, Yu Wenhe told them to take care of the queen with twelve points of spirit, and said that as soon as there was something, he would go to the imperial study to know, and after telling this, he left.
The emperor is in charge of the country, governs all the people, and is busy with government affairs, especially when the prime minister is seriously ill but there is no suitable candidate to promote, Yu Wenhe is even more manageable.
But as soon as there is movement in the Invite Feng Palace, no matter how big the matter is in his hands, he will put it down and arrive immediately.
This alone was enough to make the other women in the harem go crazy with jealousy.
