Chapter 243: The palace maid cheats the corpse
Wanying stretched out her hand and took a few drops of water, "It's just summer, and it's so hot." β
"Fortunately, let's come to the mountains to escape the heat, if it's in the capital today, maybe the heat will become!"
"Last year, it was cold, and this summer must be a big heat, if my mother feels hot, we will use ice. Anyway, there are no other masters in the palace this year. Yun Niang wiped the sweat of her palms with her handkerchief, for fear of soiling the koi.
Wanying was worried about the little palace maid biting her tongue and committing suicide at noon, and asked, "Hasn't that little father-in-law named Xiaobao come back yet?" β
Yun Niang said: "No! I may ask Father-in-law Fang to call for questioning, as soon as he comes back, I will let him go back to the capital. Don't worry, I'm worried about this! β
"Hongfu, you can take some ice, this palace is panicking at this moment."
"Niangniang, it's just summer, you use ice, it's better for you to sit here, I'll fan you." Hongfu suggested.
"Let's use ice, this palace feels that the body is hot and greasy, and the close-fitting clothes seem to be sticking to the body."
"Niangniang, you are upset and irritable, sit for a while, breathe, maybe it will be cool." Yun Niang said.
Seeing that both of them disagreed, Wanying didn't know what was wrong, and she shed tears with tears in her eyes.
Yun Niang was so anxious that she stood up, and hurriedly coaxed and persuaded: "Niangniang, why are you crying again, don't let Niangniang use ice for the sake of Niangniang's good." It's just summer, and I'm so hard to use ice, and my body is useless! β
"This palace is just panicked." Wanying cried so much that the pear blossoms brought rain.
Fortunately, the water curtain was blocked, and there was no one in the yard. Yun Niang and Hongfu pulled Wanying into the hall. said earnestly: "Niangniang, I know that you are not happy in your heart, if you want to cry, Yun Niang hugs you, and you pour out all your tears." β
This sentence hooked out all the grievances in Wanying's heart, and cried whining: "When will this day be the end." β
Wanying's sentence also said that Yun Niang, who had no tears, also cried.
The three of them hugged each other and cried for a long time. It looks like the sky is falling apart, the sea is dry, and the rocks are rotten.
When she was young, Yun Niang comforted: "If Niangniang really wants to use ice, it is better for us to put it in the earth dragon, firstly, the cold will not be too great, and secondly, it can also drive away the heat for Niangniang." β
Hongfu also seconded the proposal and said: "This method is good, the cold air is separated by the floor, and it will not hurt the mother, so I will go and ask for ice." β
The wish was fulfilled, and Wanying also stopped her tears. It is clear that I am not crying for ice, but I don't cry when I hear that there is ice. Even she couldn't figure out what she was crying for, what she was crying for, anything could be. Certainly not for the ice.
"Niangniang's word book, I brought it all without pulling it, which one Niangniang wants to see, I'll take it out for you." Yun Niang wanted to use Wanying's favorite hobby to distract Wanying's troubles in her heart.
""Yi'an Ci", give Li Yi'an's word book to the palace!"
Yun Niang guessed that it was this one, Wanying was originally desolate and resentful, and then read the words of desolate and resentful, wouldn't it be even more desolate and resentful. However, when the words came to her mouth, she swallowed it hard, and now this situation can only make her think about it herself, and only when she understands it can others persuade her.
Wanying took the word book, sat under the veranda of the hall with Yun Niang, leaned on the chair, and flipped to the song "Like a Dream Order", "Last night, the rain was sparse and the wind was sudden, and the heavy sleep did not kill the wine. When Yi An wrote this poem, it was also the beginning of the wedding, the rain was sparse and the wind was sudden, and the sleep was heavy. Isn't such a concubine's life exactly what she was a month ago?
If it weren't for marrying Prince Rong, Wanying would never have thought that her own experience would overlap so much with Li Yi'an's life.
Li Yi'an was born in a generation of scholars, and his father Li Gefei was Su Dongpo's protΓ©gΓ©, and he was an official and a member of the Ministry of Etiquette. Wanying herself is two generations of generals, and Shi Da has also been the Minister of the Interior and the Guard for ten years.
is also the daughter of the official eunuch family, and what is even more coincidental is that Li Yi'an married Zhao Mingcheng, the son of Zhao Tingzhi, the prime minister of the dynasty, and Wanying also raised eyebrows with Prince Rong.
If the story of the two ends here, it can be regarded as a quiet time and a complete merit. However, fate is always strikingly similar. Zhao Tingzhi offended Cai Jing, the patriarch of the dynasty, and died of grief after being squeezed out of the center by Cai Jing, Zhao Mingcheng was also removed from his official position, and the two hid in Qingzhou for refuge.
Now Prince Rong and the Queen Mother were choked by the King of Dong'an County and the Marquis of Wu'an, and they were helplessly sent to Huichang Mountain for refuge.
Prince Rong said that he was avoiding the plague, and Wanying also understood in her heart that in such a palace battle with little chance of winning, Prince Rong was arranging his own way back.
Thinking of this, Wanying closed the book of words, and sighed silently in her heart: "Li Yi'an, you have also been a young grandmother of the Prime Minister for six years, and I, the prince and concubine, have been less than three months from beginning to end. God has given you talent, and he has also given you displacement. God gave me a lifetime of tears, but he took away my three lives early. β
His thoughts were faintly and resentfully, and he saw Hongfu with two little eunuchs, pushing a two-wheeled cart, squeaking into the courtyard of Jinseju.
You don't have to think about it to know that it's filled with ice. It's just that the ice hasn't arrived yet, and Wanying is already cold. Even if his heart is cold, he doesn't bother to let Hongfu stop.
only chatted with Yun Niang next to her, without a word.
"I didn't expect this to be Xue Guifei's craftsmanship, I really didn't expect this Xue Guifei to be so pampered, and there would be such leisure and elegance." Yun Niang saw Wanying close the word book, and shuttled between the warp threads with a shuttle with a shuttle in both hands. Talk to Wanying and accompany Wanying to relieve her boredom.
"It's been almost half a year since Xue Guifei died." Wanying said.
Yun Niang was shocked, accidentally tore off a warp, and asked, "How does Niangniang know?" β
"I was talking to the Queen Mother in the palace, and I accidentally heard it."
"This is a big deal, I only heard that Xue Guifei and the queen were beaten into the cold palace by the Queen Mother, but I didn't hear that Xue Guifei died."
"On the night she was beaten into the cold palace, Xue Guifei hanged herself."
"Xue Guifei hanged herself? How can it be? If I say that the queen committed suicide, I believe it, how could a competitive person like Xue Guifei commit suicide? Yun Niang mended the warp threads and asked rhetorically.
"Otherwise, how could the queen mother not forget to spread the news according to the news, no one knows whether it was the queen's hand or not, but the palace saw with her own eyes that the day before Xue Guifei committed suicide, she had a big fight with the queen in the pear palace."
"It can't really be the queen's hand, right?"
"I don't know about this palace, but since both of them have entered the cold palace, there are many opportunities in the future, and it is not easy to be suspicious. Why do you have to do it on the first day, but it seems to be anxious. Let others misunderstand. β
"It's exactly this reason, anyway, Xue Guifei has been sent to the cold palace, just keep it for the future, slowly clean it up, and slowly grind. Niangniang, what did Xue Guifei do that she was beaten into the cold palace by the Queen Mother. β
"Xue Guifei said, 'The queen is doing it in the palace and wants to curse the queen mother to death.' So he was beaten into the cold palace by the Queen Mother. β
"Because of this incident, the Queen Mother also sent the queen into the cold palace?"
"The events of that day, this palace has also passed in my mind a few times. The queen cursed the queen mother, since she could say it from Xue Guifei's mouth, it must be true. But at that time, the Queen Mother did not send the queen, not at all. β
"Then how did the queen enter the cold palace?"
"This palace feels: Although the queen mother is angry with the queen, after all, she is her own niece and nephew, and she will not be in the cold palace all of a sudden. At that time, Uncle Guo was also present and pleaded with the queen, but the queen mother still sent the queen into the cold palace. The palace looked at the queen mother's appearance as if she wanted to punish the queen, but as if she wanted to protect the queen. Maybe Hongu is wrong, I don't know. β
"If you want me to say, the Queen Mother may not even know that Xue Guifei is also protected? Don't forget, Xue Guifei was the queen mother and the queen chosen by the emperor, if it weren't for the queen mother's family, the queen mother might not be the queen today, and the queen mother seems to be unwilling to be involved in the battle in the palace. β
Wanying has a deep understanding of this, and also said: "The palace also thinks that the queen mother and Xue Guifei are really a little strange that day, if you want to say that the queen mother is deaf and blind in the palace, even Xue Guifei knows things, can the queen mother not know, since it has been delayed, she must have forgiven the queen in her heart, since she forgives, why did she fall in a hurry?" There must be a reason. β
"I heard some people in my family say that the Queen Mother wants Prince Lirong to be the emperor, is it true?" Yun Niang guessed some, but she couldn't guess it either, so she suddenly asked this question.
"The queen mother's intentions, the palace dare not speculate, but Prince Rong never has this intention. Hongu asked him. β
Yun Niang stopped the shuttle in her hand, stared at Wanying and asked, "What did the prince say?" β
"The prince said that he didn't want to be the emperor in this life, he just wanted to be a prince who assisted the emperor."
"I guessed right, although I haven't followed the prince for a few days, I can see that the prince is not a person with a heart of power."
"This palace doesn't want the prince to be the emperor, this palace has seen the emperor, so lonely and haggard, being the emperor is a chore, and the palace doesn't want its husband to suffer this pain."
Yun Niang smiled and said: "All women in the world are 'looking forward to their husbands and Jackie Chan', and only Niangniang is an exception." β
As the two were talking, the droplets on the curtain suddenly stopped. Before she got up, Hongfu came over sweating profusely, frowning and complaining: "It's really hot this day, I went out for a run, and my clothes are soaked with sweat." β
"You stopped the water curtain? Is there a baffle clamp in the sink? Wanying asked.
Hongfu stuck out her tongue, flew away like an arrow, and flew back in the blink of an eye, saying, "Fortunately, if Niangniang doesn't say it, there will be no water in the sink." β
"You're hot, and it's getting hotter soon after the curtain is closed?" Wanying had long been out of the heat, and said when she saw Hongfu sweating profusely.
"For the sake of the mother, ice has been added to the dragon, and the house will be cool immediately, and then the water curtain will be used, what should I do on dog days? I'll make my own decisions. β
Wanying smiled and said, "Let's talk about it then, burn your eyebrows, and take care of the moment." After saying that, he also smiled 'Gege'. Isn't it just the burning eyebrows now?
While the three of them were talking, a three-pronged goldfish fell from the sky and fell to death in front of the three of them. The splashes of blood, as well as the exploding internal organs, made Wanying can't help but vomit.
said that he only cared about the present, and there was such a bloody scene. It's not that it's a proverbial scene. Wanying didn't think much about it, and spit out all the things she swallowed in her stomach in the morning and noon.
"Mother, there is no water curtain at this time, and the heat outside is strong, you can go into the house and cool down." Yun Niang said while cleaning up.
"And what are you going to do when you're sitting here and it's hot?"
"I'll just go find a curtain and stand in front of it."
Hongfu was already too hot to stand it, so she wiped the floor with a little palace maid, and asked the little palace maid to dispose of the goldfish corpse, and suddenly fanned the clothes behind her, and she went into the hall to cool down.
After Wanying vomited, she felt much more comfortable, and said to her, "You lie on the bed and rest for a while, I want to bask in the sun outside." β
