Chapter 749 - Go for a walk again Chapter 750 - Home Remedies

Hongluan and Han glanced at each other, knowing that they had underestimated the Empress Dowager, and they only wanted to help the emperor but did not guard against the Empress Dowager's actions: the power of the Shangguan family and the hint of the Empress Dowager, of course the women would attack him in groups to seek justice for their master. In terms of Taoism, they are really worse than the Queen Mother.

Of course, Hongluan understood the meaning in the queen's eyes, and knew that it would not be possible to count on the queen today, but she didn't want to go along with the queen's wishes; The Empress Dowager is an old fox, this time Mrs. Shangguan came forward to make a mistake and used all the women to force her to punish her, then there will definitely be a backhand, and it will not just be a downgrade to her position.

As long as she takes a step back at this time, she will be forced into a corner by the Shangguan family, and she will have no power to fight back; At present, she will never admit the so-called crime of interfering in politics: she has no intention of interfering in politics and power, and even if she does, she can't talk about these foreign women to point fingers. But the Empress Dowager is right, the anger of the public is difficult to offend, she can't fight hard with so many wives, that means that she will have to be the enemy of more than half of the outer court in the future.

Thinking of this, she made up her mind: "Mrs. Zhuguo, don't be in a hurry to kowtow first, when it comes to interfering in politics, you can't interfere in court politics as a wife, right?" There are many words, not to mention the internal affairs of the palace. Today you kowtow to ask the queen to condemn me, will you come tomorrow to kowtow to ask the queen mother to depose the queen? Anyway, as long as you don't like the people, even if they are people in the palace, you have to punish them, and if you say they are abolished, don't you? "She must first let the queen know that she must not do what the women want.

didn't point to the queen to help her get out of danger, but he couldn't let the queen drag her back and let her watch from the wall.

The queen immediately understood after Hongluan's guidance, and stared at Mrs. Shangguan's gaze and wanted to burn a few holes in her: That's the truth, why did you order the concubine to interfere in palace affairs? Today you forced the palace to punish the pure noble concubine, so tomorrow when you want to abolish the queen of the palace, won't the palace be helpless? She nodded lightly at Hongluan, indicating that she understood Hongluan's words.

"As the pure noble concubine said, no matter what she does is right or wrong, it is a matter of the palace and the palace, so I don't have to worry about Mrs. Zhuguo." After the queen finished speaking, she glanced at the women: "Don't get up yet, isn't it cold on the ground?" It's cold, and it's not fun to kneel on the ground and hurt your knees with the damp and cold air. ”

Hongluan took advantage of the fact that the queen and Mrs. Zhuguo were talking, said a few words to Princess Fu and watched her leave, and gave Mrs. Han a reassuring look, signaling that she didn't have to worry too much about herself.

The queen can't fight these women, of course she knows it very well. Just as she was frowning and thinking about delaying, a eunuch hurriedly ran in over there: "Empress Dowager, Princess Fu has left ...... a small one."

"Get down, don't you see that there is something serious here in the mourning family? Something that doesn't have an eye color. After the Empress Dowager dismissed the eunuch, she glanced at Hongluan, her eyes were flat and had no special meaning.

But when Mrs. Zhuguo heard it, she completely ignored the queen's words, and led all the women to cry and grab the ground, so that the queen couldn't go up or down: even if she wanted to cure someone's sin to make an example, she really didn't dare to do it indiscriminately at this time.

Hongluan saw that the queen couldn't resist and got up and said, "The ladies entered the palace to make a statement, I don't know if your lord knows?" ”

Many of the women immediately stopped crying and looked at Hongluan, and some were a little surprised to guess the intention of Hongluan's words: if it was involved in their master, this matter would really be a big deal. There was a cautious quick voice and replied: "Our lord dragged his sick body to do things for the court, where do we dare to bother her with such things?" We just want to get justice for our master, don't drag our master in. ”

Hongluan smiled: "It's not that I want to drag your master in, it's just that you have made such a big move today, whether I will be punished or not, what do you want the children of the world to think of you?" If it weren't for the fact that there was a copy of the officials, I don't know if the emperor would punish you if he was angry, or would he punish your lord. ”

The faces of many of the women changed slightly, and they looked at the face of Mrs. Shangguan with a look of hesitation: they were not from the Shangguan family at all, they were the Qingliu people in the court who did not form a party for personal gain; If they really let their master be spurned by the world, it will really cost their master's life.

Mrs. Shangguan immediately opened her mouth: "Pure noble concubine, are you threatening us?" You are wrong and unrepentant, and you still threaten us in front of the Empress Dowager, the edict of the imperial court, you are really pampered and arrogant and do not put the world in your eyes. ”

Hongluan looked over: "Your Royal Highness Princess, in fact, I have always doubted your intentions, there is a way that is not my race, and its heart must be different, you are not a person from my Heavenly Dynasty, but you are favored by my Heavenly Dynasty, and you don't want to reciprocate but ask about the affairs of the palace as a concubine, dare to ask what your intentions are?" She glanced at the women, "Ladies, don't let anyone take advantage of you." ”

Mrs. Shangguan sneered a few times: "How can you say that I am not from the Celestial Empire, and my country is also a minister to the emperor......"

Hongluan interrupted her words and looked around with a smile: "Did you hear it clearly, Mrs. Zhuguo said it clearly, she said that it was her country, obviously, Mrs. Zhuguo never thought that she was from the Celestial Empire in her heart, and still regarded her homeland as her country." ”

The Empress Dowager's face fell, and she glanced at Mrs. Shangguan: "Be cautious." You gave birth to children for the Shangguan family, and the mourning family believes in you, but it is inevitable that people will misunderstand when you talk like this. After speaking, he glanced at Hongluan, but did not reprimand her.

Hongluan met the Empress Dowager's gaze and said: "Even if Mrs. Zhuguo gives birth to children for the Shangguan family and takes the Shangguan family as her home, it can only be said that she thinks she belongs to the Shangguan family, and the country she identifies is still not my Heavenly Empire." It doesn't hurt to hear this, but if you think about it, there is a big mystery.

The Empress Dowager's eyes narrowed: "Pure noble concubine, you are also cautious." ”

"In accordance with the will of the Empress Dowager." Hongluan replied very simply, because she had already finished what she was going to say, and she knew that they didn't believe Mrs. Shangguan by looking at the faces of those wives.

At this moment, Princess Fu came back with someone, still holding a eunuch in her hand, and she slammed the eunuch to the ground: "Empress Dowager, I don't know what crime I have committed, I can't even let the concubine walk a few steps?" I can't leave here to see my prince, and I can't come back and listen to the play, so I asked the queen mother to give her concubines an explanation. ”

The Empress Dowager glanced at the eunuch, and annoyance flashed in her eyes, but she could only say: "Bold slave, dare to act so recklessly, come to someone, drag it down and kill you" She thought that Mrs. Han and the Han family would exonerate the eunuch, after all, the eunuch was not guilty of death.

But she forgot that the people of the Han family have always been a little special, and as soon as her words fell, the Han family bowed down and thanked her: "Concubine Xie Empress Dowager is the master of the concubine." After she handed a piece of paper to Hongluan and patted her on the shoulder, she saluted the Empress Dowager again: "The concubine will go for a walk again." ”

Chapter 750: Home Remedies

The Empress Dowager had just asked for a cane to kill a eunuch for Princess Fu, and then Princess Fu said: Go for a walk again; It was really a slap in the face, even the Queen Mother's mind was so wide that she was angry.

Concubine Hua really couldn't look past it, and she hated the Han family for a long time: "You are so bold that the Empress Dowager wants to kill the eunuch with a cane, that is to give you dignity, but these people who serve the Empress Dowager have no merit and hard work, don't forget that you are also doing filial piety on your behalf, so you don't intercede for him?" Do you have the Queen Mother in your eyes? And today it was the Queen Mother who summoned everyone to come to the play, but what about you, walking left and right, are you here to see the play? "No mistakes, no skipping words.

The Empress Dowager glanced at Concubine Hua and thought that she was right, this Fu princess should be beaten well.

After hearing this, Han Shi turned around and glanced at Concubine Hua: "It stands to reason that you should come over and salute me before talking, there is really no humility, forget it, I don't think your mother is as knowledgeable as your child here; The Empress Dowager wants to punish those who make mistakes, is it possible that we juniors need to agree? If we don't agree with the Empress Dowager, we can't dispose of them - Hua Concubine Niangniang, what you say is a great filial piety, you know? As for watching the play, now the play is not even performed, you let me watch it? ”

She glanced at Mrs. Zhuguo: "Could it be that Concubine Hua has something else to say, and wants me to watch other dramas?" I've always been straight, and I can't stand bending, so I can't go out and scatter when I'm so angry? "No mistakes, no skipping words. She looked at the Empress Dowager: "The concubines can walk around before the play goes on stage, right?" No mistakes, not a lot of words"

The Empress Dowager nodded slowly, and didn't say a word, because she really didn't know how to say it. None of them here are stupid, and everyone can hear the disrespect for the Empress Dowager in and out of Han's words, but the Empress Dowager can't come out, which really makes the women look at Han more.

Han just gave Hongluan a look, saluted the Empress Dowager and the Empress, and left with a swagger; The faces of Concubine Hua and Mrs. Zhuguo were angry on the spot, and their mother and daughter wanted to tear the Han family in half - when the daughter was gone, there was still a mother, so they were eyeing Mrs. Han.

It's a pity that Mrs. Han didn't take their mother and daughter in her eyes at all, and just talked to the queen's mother in a low voice, and from time to time the two of them laughed a few times, ignoring Mrs. Zhuguo and Concubine Hua, which made Ning Cairen's eyebrows wrinkle slightly.

Hongluan saw that everyone ignored her, and had to cough lightly before Mrs. Zhuguo looked at her: "That, if Madame has something to say to the mother-in-law of this palace as soon as possible, there is something to talk to a few ladies here in this palace." After she finished speaking, she glanced at Mrs. Han and turned back with a smile: "Mrs. Li, I heard that your master has recently got two charming girls, right?" ”

Mrs. Li glared at Hongluan angrily: "What does it have to do with pure noble concubines." "She was distressed when she mentioned those two girls, her lord hadn't entered her room for a few days? Such a shameful thing was mentioned by Hongluan in public, and of course she added even more unhappiness to her stomach.

"It has nothing to do with Hongu." Hongluan smiled: "It has a lot to do with Mrs. Zhuguo, but it is a second-class girl next to Mrs. Zhuguo, and sending it to Mrs. Li's house must have helped Mrs. Li a lot, and it can save Mrs. Li a lot of heart, right?" There are no mistakes, there are many words, Mrs. Li, it's time to take a good rest. ”

When Mrs. Li heard this, she looked at Mrs. Zhuguo and said to herself, "Don't you want to talk nonsense." But Mrs. Zhuguo avoided her gaze, because there were many people who knew about that matter, and only Mrs. Li herself did not know anything about it. Mrs. Li still didn't understand, she slowly stood up from the ground: "I have an old cold leg to rest, and this leg hurts badly." ”

Hongluan pointed at Mrs. Han: "Mrs. Li, the stepmother of this palace has a home remedy that can cure the old cold legs, do you want to go over and ask?" After looking at Mrs. Li, she glanced at the paper in her hand again: "Mrs. Zhang, I heard that you have a new grandson?" ”

Mrs. Zhang stood up with a red face and waved her hand: "The concubine's legs and feet are not good, eat a cup of tea to drive away the cold." He didn't let Hongluan continue at all, so he hurriedly sat aside. Later, when she saw Mrs. Li come back with a smile, she thought about it and went to Mrs. Han to ask for a home remedy for "treating legs".

Hongluan glanced at the paper again and was about to speak, when the Empress Dowager spoke: "That's a thing, how about showing it to the mourning family?" "She can't let Hongluan mess around anymore, otherwise she won't have to sing this scene today.

Hongluan generously gave the paper to the Queen Mother: "No, it's just the trick my sister gave me." "There are indeed some flowers painted on it, the painting skills can be said to be extremely inferior, and the words are not good-looking, except that each stroke can be seen to be very hard, and there is nothing special.

Even those words are not connected to a piece, and those that are connected to a piece are just related to flowers, and the Queen Mother can't see the fame after looking at it for a long time, so she wants to stay, and she knows that it is impossible without a suitable excuse when she looks at Hongluan's wide open eyes. In the end, she returned the paper to Hongluan and smiled at Han's family: "Madame is really a goddaughter, and the characters and paintings are really different from ordinary girls' families." ”

Han smiled and bowed: "The Empress Dowager praised her, that child is good-natured, and the rest is just a little bit better than the average girl's family." She praised her daughter very unceremoniously, and her face was not a little red.

The Empress Dowager had nothing to say, so she had to look at Hongluan: "About the ...... of Zhuguo" She didn't want to drag it out any longer.

Hongluan smiled and saluted: "Don't worry, the Queen Mother, isn't the concubine talking about this; She suddenly put away her smile and looked at the Empress Dowager seriously: "Or is it that Mrs. Zhuguo is only allowed to be aggressive without evidence, but the concubine is not allowed to slowly sort things out now, so that everyone can understand what is going on?" ”

The Empress Dowager stared at Hongluan, and Hongluan looked at her unyieldingly: "The Empress Dowager has always been fair, and today will be no exception, right?" ”

How else can the Empress Dowager nod her head, but she gave Mrs. Zhuguo a look, there are some things that she is inconvenient to do, but Mrs. Zhuguo can.

Mrs. Zhuguo turned back to the women and said, "Our lord is ...... for the court" She wanted to force the queen to make an order as soon as possible, and today this matter is done; Then he used this matter to challenge the emperor and let the emperor know that the Shangguan family had worked hard.

Hongluan ignored Mrs. Zhuguo at all, and just said in a long voice, "Mrs. Chu." ”

All the women are paying attention to Hongluan very carefully, where do they have the heart to listen to Mrs. Zhuguo? When Mrs. Chu heard herself, she smiled: "Niangniang doesn't have to work hard, our lord didn't take a concubine or buy a girl, and he never added a grandson." After she finished speaking, she looked at Mrs. Li and raised her chin.
