Chapter 201: Mama Yang
When the tenth princess heard this, she was already shocked, and only said to Song Zhi: "Good child, I don't know what happened to my husband now, if your prince comes back, please ask him to help more." ”
The tenth princess didn't say this, Song Zhi would do the same, she nodded heavily, and said: "I will immediately inform the prince of this matter, the princess is not in a hurry, so as not to make mistakes in the busy and add to the incident." ”
The tenth princess looked stunned and said slowly: "Okay, I know." I'll go back to the house first to hear the news, and then I'll go into the palace. ”
Song Zhi held the door frame with his hand and watched the tenth princess leave in a hurry. Meteor looked at Song Zhi worriedly and said, "Madam, don't stand in the wind." Her Royal Highness is a person with a delicate heart, don't worry. ”
Meteor's words didn't dispel Song Zhi's worries, but she nodded anyway and turned around to go back to the house.
"Meteor, cut white paper." Song Zhi commanded.
Meteor quickly cut a two-finger-wide note for Song Zhi, only to see Song Zhi take a brush on the desk and lean on the half-dried inkstone. Song Zhi wrote the content of the note very briefly, and did not even use meteors to polish the ink.
The meteor made Cha Yun bring the birdcage, and in the birdcage there were two birds with oily and slippery feathers, one kept jumping around, blinking his eyes, and the other was a little dizzy, and his paws almost couldn't grasp the pole.
Meteor stretched out his palm, only to see Da Gu jump to her palm, Meteor said to his palm: "Do you want to go out and fly today?" Don't be greedy, hurry up and find the prince, you know? ”
Da Gu screamed happily, flew to the desk, opened his mouth and grabbed a small roll of paper that Song Zhi fed to its mouth, and quickly flapped its wings and flew away, turning into a yellow-green cloud.
The longer the two little birds are raised by Song Zhi's side, the smarter they become, and sometimes Song Zhi even thinks that these two birds are like five or six-year-old children.
At first, she thought that these two birds were just bought by Shen Baiyan and Song Ling at random, but later married Shen Baiyan and knew about Yu Xinlou, so she knew that Da Gu and Xiao Gu were originally domesticated by a secret guard called Lingque in the building, no wonder they were very smart.
"What's wrong with this?" Song Zhi stretched out his hand to Xiao Gu, but she didn't expect the little bird to fall into her palm, and she struggled to flutter a few times before standing up.
"Madame don't have to worry, Xiao Gu sneaked into the small kitchen this morning and secretly ate some rosin rice that was ready to be used to make Babao rice. These rice are made with sake, so it's no wonder they get drunk. Meteor smoothed Xiao Gu's feathers with his fingers, Xiao Gu fell down on the table, Meteor took out his personal handkerchief, and carefully placed Xiao Gu on it.
Song Zhi touched Xiao Gu and smiled, but the smile was fleeting, and Song Zhi's face quickly became serious.
"I heard Jingyu mention it before, saying that many of my cousin's political views were too radical in the eyes of the Queen Mother, because of this, I almost argued with the Queen Mother in the court a few times. However, the emperor helped his cousin say a few words, and he seemed to be on his cousin's side. ”
Meteor changed a cup of hot tea for Song Zhi, and said in a very low voice: "If it weren't for the emperor's young age, the queen mother would listen to the government, and the young master and the emperor would have the same ideas, and they would have shown their ambitions, and they would not have caused trouble." ”
Meteor is telling seven points of truth and three points of guessing. In the afternoon, Shen Baiyan returned home and confirmed the meteor's statement.
Lin Tianlang really asked the Queen Mother to be trapped in the palace, saying that he was leaving him for dinner, I don't know if I want to eat tomorrow's breakfast after dinner, so after eating tomorrow's breakfast, do I still have to eat tomorrow's lunch?
"Tianlang's invitation was not in line with the Queen Mother's wishes, and his tone was a little harder, and he was used by the Queen Mother to make a raft." Shen Baiyan stretched out his chopsticks and sandwiched a piece of braised hoof, the hoof was stewed extremely soft, and the chopsticks were lightly clamped, and the bones were instantly removed.
"What did my cousin do?" Song Zhi was eating an orange stuffed crab, and the orange flesh fruit burst between his lips, tongue and teeth, a sweet and sour.
He advocated that local officials be transferred every three years. Shen Baiyan actually agreed with Lin Tianlang's request very much, and felt more and more that his decision to marry Song Zhi was extremely correct, and he was a member of the family.
As soon as these words passed in Song Zhi's head, she knew Lin Tianlang's deep meaning.
"My cousin is actually targeting officials in the south, the land in the south is rich in grain, and the officials there are all full of fat intestines, and they collude with each other, intertwined into a huge and intertwined network of relationships. I heard that the annual tax silver and tribute have been stripped layer by layer, and in the hands of the imperial court, it is less than three-tenths or four-tenths of the original. ”
Song Zhi said seriously, and when he raised his eyes, he found that Shen Baiyan's gaze at him was becoming more and more meaningful.
"What do you watch me do?" Song Zhi was a little uncomfortable.
"How can I have such a good vision? As soon as I picked it, I picked a smart and beautiful wife. Shen Baiyan's face was not red, and his heart was not beating and he patted Song Zhi's ass.
Song Zhi stuffed a spoonful of cooled egg yolk tofu into his mouth and told him to stop talking, but he couldn't help it and asked, "Why doesn't the Queen Mother allow it?" Corruption among officials in the south has become a major scourge. ”
In fact, the Queen Mother's thoughts are also easy to understand. Freezing three feet is not a day's cold, she is just cowardly, and she does not dare to act rashly, which is the same as those conservative ministers. Shen Baiyan's words were unexpectedly pertinent.
"What about the emperor?" Song Zhi hadn't seen Shen Ze for a long time, and he still remembered the lively boy, and it can be understood from Shen Baiyan's words that this boy seemed to have gradually undergone some changes.
"Although the emperor did not say it directly, I know that he agrees with Tianlang. Whenever someone put forward some radical opinions, the nature of the emperor was always a little higher. When it was the turn of the queen mother's confidants, the emperor was always indifferent, and occasionally sneered vaguely. ”
When Shen Baiyan went to court every day, he felt that the most interesting thing was the subtle back and forth between Shen Ze and the Queen Mother.
"Then my cousin asked the queen mother to be detained in the palace, can the emperor help?" Song Zhi felt full for seven minutes, so he put down his chopsticks.
"The Lin family tree has big roots and deep roots, the Queen Mother will never be unfavorable to Tianlang because of such a small matter, we don't have to make a move, just look at the emperor and the queen mother."
Since Shen Baiyan said this, Song Zhi was also relieved.
However, caring is chaotic, although Shen Baiyan can see it clearly, but the tenth princess is like an ant on a hot pot, anxious.
Old lady Lin and Lin Qingyan discussed things in the room, and no one came.
"Princess, don't worry." Xiao Chen saw that his father-in-law and husband were so calm and relaxed, although he was anxious, he was not as anxious as before.
The tenth princess asked the nurse to carry Bao'er out, walked from one end of the house to the other, walked back again, and said to Xiao Chen: "I have already handed over the post to the palace, no matter what, I still want to go on a trip." ”
At this time, Jin Satin walked in and said to the tenth princess: "Your Royal Highness Princess, the sedan chair has been prepared." ”
Before Xiao Chen could say anything, he saw the ten princesses go out like a wind.
Although the son and daughter-in-law have a good relationship, the mother-in-law should be happy, but if the relationship is too good, in some cases, it is easy to prosper and lose.
Jinxiu helped the tenth princess to get into the carriage, and when she saw that the sun was already setting in the west, she said with some worry: "Your Highness, let's enter the palace this time, it may be difficult to come back in front of the palace gate." ”
"What's the matter? We all came out of the palace, are we still afraid of staying in the palace for a night? The tenth princess gathered her hood and said, "We can go back to live in the old house, and Mama Yang will always arrange it for me." ”
Jinxiu thought about it, and her heart finally settled down a little.
When the Empress Dowager was there, the ten princesses always liked to run to the palace, and the coachman was afraid that he could walk right with his eyes closed.
When the tenth princess entered the palace, she said that she wanted to see the queen mother. She thought that the Empress Dowager Jia'an would shirk and say that she couldn't see herself, but she didn't expect the Empress Dowager to accept it very happily.
"You and Master Lin are really good. I saw that he was good at writing, and left him in the palace to copy a copy of the Guanyin Sutra for me, but I didn't expect you to come with a girl. The Empress Dowager Jia'an sat upright and smiled gently and kindly.
But this smile fell in the eyes of the tenth princess, and it was proud. She detained Lin Tianlang in the palace, and she didn't explain a word, but now that she is here, she has pulled out some rhetoric!
"This palace is my maiden home, since my husband is here, I also want to come back and take a look, the queen mother doesn't think I always come back." The tenth princess also squeezed out a smiling face, and the two of them had goosebumps when they saw fake faces.
"How so! I thought you weren't happy to come back, for fear of hurting the scene, but if you still want to come back, I know you're fine. Empress Dowager Jia'an said with a smile.
The tenth princess was a little incomprehensible, the queen mother died in her sleep, but it was a good death, although she was reluctant, but she was not overly sad.
Seeing that the tenth princess seemed to have doubts in her eyes, the Empress Dowager Jia'an pretended to be surprised and opened her eyes wide, and said, "Don't you know yet?" I thought the Empress Dowager had informed you! Mama Yang's funeral was handled by her. ”
The brocade and the splendid breath even stopped breathing, and only quietly looked at the tenth princess with the wrong eyes, and saw that her eyes were stunned, and she seemed to be a little disbelieving.
"When?" The tenth princess's lips and tongue were astringent, and she asked with difficulty.
Mama Yang's body has always been healthy, and the tenth princess did not believe that she would die suddenly.
Empress Dowager Jia'an frowned, showing a look of reminiscence, looked at the palace maid serving beside her, and asked, "It was about three days ago, right?" ”
The palace maid was blessed and said, "Yes, three days ago, Mama Yang died of a sudden illness in her palace and was buried in the palace. ”
"Died of a sudden illness? Where are they buried? Mama Yang left a message early, saying that she wanted to accompany the Queen Mother! The tenth princess held back her sadness and asked calmly.
"This is for the Empress Dowager West." The Empress Dowager Jia'an pushed the matter away, and only made a very unspeakable appearance.
The tenth princess slowly exhaled a breath, got up and said, "That doesn't hinder the Queen Mother, I'll go and ask the Queen Mother West." ”
With that, she simply left, and Jinxiu and Jinxiu chased after her.
