Chapter 340: The Story of Taiping

Xun Qingran sent the little girl to invite Tang Younian and Malt over, and asked people to see if Rong was awake.

Mama Xu, Kikyo and Ning Yuanju's confidants all gathered in Xun Qingran's house.

"What is her idea, she is married and has children, but she is still dressed as a girl. Could it be that the emperor and the queen mother in the palace were hidden? If you don't live in a good palace, you have to live in our house, I don't know what kind of heart is safe? Kikyo frowned.

That's right, things are strange from start to finish. The current emperor has different opinions on some things in the original emperor's time, and pities those officials and clans who have been convicted. But for the sake of His Holiness, the emperor will never say that the emperor has done something wrong, and will only appropriately forgive grace. Therefore, the matter of Prince Yonghe was not rehabilitated, but it was just a page from the past, and the remnants of Prince Yonghe's mercy were added.

According to what Qi You said, the emperor thought that Ying Ze was a usable talent, so he ordered Ying Ze to enter Beijing, and the possibility of restoring the title of Prince Yonghe was not high. Now Ying Ze is still on the road, the situation is unknown, and how did Ning Xin restore the title of county lord so easily, and get such a favor in the palace?

"Grandma, the ancient grandmother next to Lord Ningxin, the slave is recognized." Mama Xu said suddenly.

Xun Qingran turned his head to look at Mama Xu, Mama Xu was from the palace, it was not strange to recognize Mama Gu, what was strange was Mama Xu's attitude as if she was facing a great enemy.

"When Mama Gu first entered the palace, she was just an unknown palace maid of the Huanyi Bureau, without any background and no outstanding talents, but in more than ten years, she climbed step by step until she reached the position of the steward in the Queen Mother's palace. She has done many errands and served in several palaces. Mama Xu continued.

It seems that Mama Gu is a very experienced mama, but this career trajectory is a little strange.

"Mama Gu's ascension all the way seems to be logical, but wherever she goes, there are always some people...... For one reason or another, he even lost his life inexplicably. Some people were suspicious, and after careful investigation, they found that these lives were always closely related to Mama Gu, but this connection was not enough to convict Mama Gu. The minion had some dealings with this man, and had heard her talk about it. Later, this person, inexplicably involved in an incident, also lost his life. Mama Xu said slowly, as if thinking of the past, and her tone revealed some sadness, "Ning Xin is different from the past, and she has this ancient Mama by her side." Grandma, don't take it lightly. ”

"No wonder, that ancient grandmother glanced at the maid, and the maid felt a chill in her back." Jin Ling rubbed her arms, "There are goosebumps on this body." ”

Mama Gu is a ruthless character, and she has the identity of a palace mama given by the Queen Mother. Xun Qingran stroked his forehead.

In just a few moments, Tang Younian and Malt arrived. It turned out that they heard the news of Ning Xin's visit, and they didn't wait for the little girl to call, so they came.

"Now that she is running like this, I am afraid that her husband and daughter don't want it, when she did such a thing, the death penalty is inevitable, so she should not be let go." Malt said as soon as he entered the door.

Past things, regret is useless. It's better to put all your energy into the situation at hand.

“…… How did Ning Xin come to Beijing, what was the situation in the palace, and how did she restore her title......" Xun Qingran discussed with Tang Younian, and Tang Younian needed to go out to investigate.

"I'm going to go out and find out the news." Tang Younian said, and hurriedly went out.

"What the hell is Ning Xin going to do?" The same question was on everyone's mind.

"No matter what she wants to do, we will only block it with soldiers and cover it with water." Xun Qingran leaned on the pillow and gently stroked her belly. As if feeling his mother's touch, the little one in his belly happily kicked his legs.

………………

In the bedroom of the second lady of Qi in the Prayer Hall, two charcoal basins warmed the room, and Ning Xin was lying on the chaise longue, with her eyes closed, as if she was asleep.

Mama Gu arranged for a few palace maids to serve at the couch, and then came out of the inner room with Second Lady Qi.

Second Mrs. Qi has entered the palace several times, and she recognizes this ancient grandmother as a person in the Queen Mother's palace, but she is not very familiar with it. She knew that the identity of the grandmother in the palace was different, so she treated Grandma Gu with a little respect and caution.

When the two arrived at the outhouse, the second lady of Qi invited Mama Gu to sit down on the host and guest seats, and ordered people to serve tea and fruits, as if they were visiting noblewomen.

"You're welcome, ma'am." Mama Gu said lightly and calmly sat down on the seat.

Second Mrs. Qi sent all the other girls out, and only beckoned Mama Zhang to come. Mama Zhang held a tray in her hand, on which were two sachets embroidered with bulging gold thread, one containing golden melon seeds, and the other containing high-quality pearls. Two sachets are worth about two or three hundred taels of silver.

Second Mrs. Qi smiled and said to Mama Gu that she had worked hard, and asked Mama Gu to accept two sachets.

“…… I have caused trouble to my wife, how dare I accept my wife's life. ”

Second Mrs. Qi earnestly asked Mama Gu to accept it, and Mama Gu excused herself slightly, so she called a young palace maid behind her to come and accept the two sachets.

Second Mrs. Qi was relieved when she saw Mama Xu accept the sachet. And Mama Gu's attitude towards the second lady Qi is also much closer.

“…… There are so many things to ask Mama. Second Lady Qi laughed and said, "Lord Ningxin ......"

Mama Gu waved her hand and sent the little palace maid serving behind her out.

"Madam, this county lord is no better than those county lords and county lords in other prefectures in Beijing."

"Oh, what a different way to do it."

"Not to mention that if Prince Yonghe's Mansion is restored, then the iron-hat prince is one of the few in today's court. Madame thinks about it, the prince has not returned to Beijing yet, how can the county lord of Ningxin restore the title first? Mama Gu said.

Second Mrs. Qi was also curious, "Please advise Mama." ”

"At that time, the county lord made great contributions in front of the emperor." Mama Gu paused for a moment before continuing, "Presumably there should be a will, so I'll talk to Madame first." The county lord of Ningxin presented a military layout map of the Northern Barbarians to the emperor. ”

"Huh?" Second Lady Qi exclaimed.

Mama Gu was very satisfied with the effect of her words.

"Madame is a person who understands, the value of such a picture, let alone the county lord, is a princess, and she deserves it."

"How did the county lord get such a picture?" Second Lady Qi asked.

Mama Gu's face remained unchanged, she picked up the tea bowl and gently blew the tea foam on it.

Second Lady Qi noticed that she had asked a question that she shouldn't have asked, and she was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said, "This is really a great fortune for the country." The county lord, for such a great contribution to the country, the emperor will definitely reward him generously. ”

Mama Gu put down the tea bowl and didn't seem to hear the first words of Second Lady Qi at all.

"Madame said that it is not true. The Queen Mother personally asked the county lord what he wanted. The county lord is virtuous and refuses to ask for a reward. The queen mother made the decision and first restored the title of county lord. The queen mother said to let the county lord think about it, and said that she would give whatever the county lord wanted. ”

"The Emperor and the Queen Mother." Second Lady Qi said with a smile, "The county lord's merit is not too much of a reward. ”

"Now the county lord is the first-class celebrity in front of the emperor and the queen mother. Coincidentally, outside this palace, the county lord has no other close people, only the lady is the first closer, or the elder. When the slave had seen Madame before, he felt that Madame was a first-class blessed person, and today this blessing has been added to another level. There is a virtuous concubine in the palace who is pregnant with a dragon fetus, and now there is such a county lord. Congratulations to Madame, minion. ”

Mama Gu stood up and bowed respectfully to Second Lady Qi.

Second Mrs. Qi was busy and helped Mama Gu.

Although she rejoiced in this beautiful thing that fell from the sky, she was not completely dazed. It turned out that the Qi Mansion had a relationship with Prince Yonghe's Mansion, but at that time, the Rong family was in charge, and she and Ning Xin had never been close. Now that Ning Xin is running towards her, she can't help but wonder in her heart. Originally, she just thought that Ning Xin had nothing to rely on, and she took a fancy to Concubine Xiangui's status and future prospects in the palace, so she came to get close to her. Now it seems that Ning Xin has made a great contribution. This made her have to reconsider why Ning Xin treated her like this.

It won't be to repay Qi You and Xun Qingran for taking care of them in Pingxi Town, but Ning Xin's attitude towards Xun Qingran is obviously very bland.

"How dare I be the elder of the county lord?" Second Lady Qi said.

Mama Gu smiled meaningfully, "Madame has this blessing. ”

"Ask Mama, what taboos does the county lord have? After all, after so many years, the county lord is no longer a child. Second Lady Qi asked Mama Gu about Ning Xin's likes and dislikes.

"The county lord's preferences, Madame is only afraid that she is more familiar with me than me." Mama Gu smiled.

Second Mrs. Qi laughed with her, how could she know.

"The county lord and the queen mother talked about the past, and mentioned the mansion and his wife many times. said that when she was a child, the old lady often brought the county lord to the mansion as a guest. The fourth master in the house is the same age as the county lord, as well as the current King and Princess Kangjun, several childhood sweethearts, very good. Mama Gu said with a smile, "The Queen Mother also asked, did the old lady ever set a family affair for the county lord?" The county lord was a little difficult to answer. ”

"I don't know which family the county lord has decided?" Second Mrs. Qi asked, and said in her heart, I don't know which family has this blessing to marry Ning Xin and enter the door, and the whole family must follow it.

"Over the years, there are some things that Madame is afraid of forgetting. The county lord still remembers, but it's a pity. Mama Gu glanced at Second Lady Qi and sighed.

Second Mrs. Qi knew that what Mama Gu said must have cause and effect, and there was a vague thought in her mind, but she couldn't find the way for a while.

Mama Gu smiled again and talked about the things in the palace, "...... The map presented by the county lord can bring peace to the world, if it is a princess, then the title should be peace. Our county lord is also in line with Li Tang's story of Princess Taiping. Hehe, a lot of things, it's really so coincidental. Mama Gu looked at Second Lady Qi with a smile, "Madam, did you say that?" ”。
