Chapter 22: The Hua clan angered the Queen Mother

The vendor returned to the palace, carrying a plate of fresh grapes, to the Yanshou Palace, where the Queen Mother lived. I have to say that the Queen Mother Bai is really well-maintained, she is already a woman in her forties, and there is no trace of time on her face at all. It is said that she has an exclusive secret recipe for the rejuvenation technique to be able to do so.

"Queen Mother, today the slave went to deliver food to King Chen's mansion, and met Princess Chen, she said that there is a flower in the house that is too fragrant, so that she really can't calm down, embroider auspicious clouds for the Queen Mother, and ask the slave to bring some insect medicine when she goes next time."

"Oh? That's what she said? The two people of the mourning family were lost in the Chenwang Mansion, she

But she didn't do anything at all, and now she was bullied by a concubine and had no power to fight back, it was really the mourning family who saw her wrong, hum! ”

"Niangniang, did the slave still send her insect medicine?" The little eunuch quietly looked at the Queen Mother's expression and said.

"Send it to her, and, she said embroidered the auspicious cloud map?"

"Uh......, that's what she said."

"Okay, what is she doing with the auspicious cloud map?"

"I don't know this minion either, but the Queen Mother's birthday is coming, and Princess Chen's embroidered auspicious cloud map is probably for the sake of the mother."

"To the mourners? The mourning family didn't want her to embroider any auspicious cloud map, what the mourning family wanted was the treasure map of the first emperor, it was a treasure map. The White Empress Dowager roared.

She had heard of this treasure map when she first entered the palace, and this treasure map was passed down by word of mouth from every generation of kings, and no other outsiders could know about it. Although her son is already the emperor, how can she feel at ease if she doesn't get the treasure map. If King Chen takes out the treasure, recruits troops, and invades the imperial city, does she still need to say what will happen to her?

"Mother, don't be angry, it's not worth it to be angry. Otherwise, on your birthday, knock on Princess Chen. ”

"Hmph, she's a smart person, why bother to teach her, it's just to see if she's willing to work for me."

"Niangniang, let's ...... like this" The little eunuch whispered something in the ear of the Empress Dowager Bai, and after the Empress Dowager Bai heard it, the smile on her face also expanded......

Chenwangfu study.

"You mean, she went to see the food vendor?"

"Yes, my lord, it's just that it's too far away, and my subordinates haven't heard what they say. However, Steward Zhou was nearby, so I don't know if he heard anything. ”

"Go get him."

After a while, Steward Zhou followed the man in black to King Chen's study, "The slave has seen the prince, Shangguan Wangye, and Ye Ye." ”

Hearing this, Ye Wushuang's face twitched, grandpa? Who is it called? Call him? He is so handsome, and some people call him grandpa, is this the rhythm of looking for death?

"Whose grandfather are you calling?" Ye Wushuang said coldly.

"Naturally, it's you, the slave knows your surname Ye." Steward Zhou said with a smile. How did he know what Ye Wushuang was thinking, Ye Ye? Sounds like grandpa. He may understand this explanation.

If it was in normal times, such a thing, Shangguan Tianyu and King Chen would definitely mock him, but today they were not in such a good mood.

"This king asks you, did the princess go to the kitchen today? And what did you do? ”

"Returning to the prince, the princess lost a hairpin near the kitchen, saying that she was looking for it. Later, she asked the vegetable vendor to bring her some insect medicine, saying that she wanted to remove the rich fragrance of some flowers, otherwise it would affect her embroidery auspicious clouds. Steward Zhou told the prince everything he heard, word for word.

"Looking for a hairpin? Did she find it? ”

"I found it, it's a hairpin that looks very valuable."

"And what else did she do?"

"I didn't ...... It's nothing, the princess found the hairpin and went back with the girl Ningxiang. Steward Zhou said lightly.

"Alright, you go down." King Chen waved his hand impatiently.

Looking for a hairpin? The devil believes it. He didn't see it, this woman was quite smart, and she actually hooked up with the hawker like this. The peddler was the Queen Mother's person, and he already knew that although he delivered food to the house, he was just pretending to be that person, and he didn't delve into anything.

At the beginning, when she disposed of Mei Xiang Mei Lan, she didn't make any moves, so she was waiting here? This is to let down his vigilance and facilitate contact with the Queen Mother's people, it seems that ...... This man could not stay any longer. Thinking of this, King Chen clenched his hands tightly, and the knuckles of his fingers gurgled......

"Yihan, the auspicious cloud map is the Bai family's favorite thing, and now that it's her birthday, she shouldn't be using the auspicious cloud map to deliver any news." Shangguan Tianyu hit the nail on the head.

The whole country knows that this auspicious cloud map is the queen mother's favorite, Chu Lixue mentioned what auspicious cloud map in a good manner, wouldn't she use the auspicious cloud map to make a fuss?

The next day, the vendor handed over the prepared insect medicine to Steward Zhou, and after Ning Xiang retrieved the insect medicine from Steward Zhou, he returned to Chu Lixue's side.

"Miss, the slave doesn't understand, what do you want this insect medicine for? We don't have any fragrant flowers in this yard. Ning Xiang naturally didn't understand, Chu Lixue used this insect medicine to deal with Mrs. Hua, of course, she couldn't break it.

"This concubine is used to sprinkle around the house to prevent insects from entering the house." Chu Lixue said lightly. She naturally did this to comfort Ning Xiang, Ning Xiang is good at everything, but she is too simple and kind, if she continues like this, she will be killed by others one day sooner or later.

"Miss, it will be the Queen Mother's birthday soon, and when the time comes, this auspicious cloud map you embroidered must be the best."

"You girl, when did you start playing with me? This auspicious cloud map is just a reason for the Queen Mother, and what I really want to do is to borrow the Queen Mother's hand and clean up that Hua's family. ”

"Miss, will the Queen Mother help us? We haven't done anything, and we've indirectly killed her two maidservants last time. Ning Xiang said anxiously.

"She will, because what she wants, only I can help her get, she helps me, and she is also helping herself, otherwise, this girl will leave it alone."

"Well, miss, the slave knows that you are doing everything for the good of the lady and the eldest lady, and I don't know what is going on with them now. Now there is not even a single message. Ning Xiang whimpered.

Chu Lixue knew that Ning Xiang had grown up in the Chu family since she was a child, and the people of the Chu family were her relatives, and when there was no news from her relatives, she was naturally very worried in her heart.

"Ning Xiang, don't worry. Actually, I didn't really want Hua's life, but she kept making trouble for me, and I just taught her a lesson. ”

At this time, the Queen Mother's decree came. He asked King Chen to take the ladies of King Chen's mansion to attend the birthday banquet. The ladies of King Chen's Mansion not only include the new princess, but even those concubines who can't get on the stage can also participate, since ancient times, there has been no such thing.

The queen mother's trick is ruthless enough, from ancient times to the present, it has not been said that concubines are allowed to participate in large banquets, and even lower-ranking officials cannot participate, doesn't this make King Chen ugly in public? Generally, the status of concubines is relatively low, and there is no ink in the stomach, just to serve people in Israel.

On the day of the Queen Mother's birthday, except for King Chen, the other officials only brought their wives and children. Naturally, they are not fools who can be officials, and the birthday banquet of the Queen Mother has naturally become a good time for them to choose their daughter-in-law and son-in-law.

Hua Shi wore a red dress embroidered with peony flowers today, wearing a five-phoenix sunrise hanging bead hairpin on her head, her face was as charming as the moon, and she looked graceful and a little squeamish. She sat down beside King Chen, which aroused the inquiry of many people.

"This is the new princess? She doesn't look very outstanding, you see how she dresses, it's really old-fashioned. A young lady in an emerald dress said softly.

"Yes, what Sister Fu said is very true, just like this, she is the first beauty in Beichen Kingdom, and it is not as good as one-ten-thousandth of the woman in the goose yellow dress sitting next to her."

"Well, what Sister Ji said is true. But I've heard that this princess is not very favored. On the contrary, a concubine in the house is very favored, and the one wearing a goose yellow dress is not the concubine? ”

"I think it must be, but if I were a man, I would be spoiled by such a decent concubine."

Although the words of the two were very light, they all fell into the ears of those who had a heart, and naturally attracted the attention of some playboys, but seeing that the woman was wearing a goose yellow embroidered white magnolia long skirt and a white magnolia hairpin on her head, it was so fresh and elegant.

"The Queen Mother has arrived in ......," a eunuch sang loudly.

All the civil and military officials, except for King Chen, knelt down to greet the queen mother's phoenix.

Empress Dowager Bai walked straight to the main seat and turned around, stretching her long sleeves, "Let's be flat, today is the birthday of the mourning family, you can come, the mourning family is very happy in their hearts, don't be restrained, it's better to be loose." Immediately, he sat down, and his eyes fell on Chu Lixue's body, "Princess Chen is dressed so elegantly today." ”

"Today is the birthday of the Queen Mother, you are the protagonist of today, if it is the flowers and branches worn by Lishuang, wouldn't it be noisy?" Chu Lixue got up and replied softly.

As soon as the words came out, the people around were stunned, this is Princess Chen, so who is the woman sitting next to King Chen? Why did she sit in the position of Princess Chen? Although I heard that Princess Chen is not favored, today is the birthday of the Queen Mother, how can she be so disrespectful.

"Did Princess Chen quarrel with King Chen? Why do you still sit at separate tables? ”

"Back to the Queen Mother, how dare the concubine quarrel with the prince, it's just that the Hua family is the prince's favorite woman, and on weekdays, she also waits for the prince the most, so ...... Attending the banquet today, the concubine asked her to serve with the prince. "One sentence is generous and decent, people will only feel that the Hua family is spoiled, and King Chen is a little excessive, and no one will think that what she did is inappropriate.

"Hua's." Empress Dowager Bai glanced at the Hua family, who was sitting beside King Chen, and said coldly.

"The concubine has seen the Queen Mother, the mother Wan'an." Hua hurriedly saluted.

Concubines? The people present had to say that this Hua clan really had the courage to call herself a concubine, and the concubine was for his wife, and she was such a bed warmer tool, she could only claim to be a cheap concubine, and she called herself a concubine like this not only showed her Sima Zhao's heart, but also angered the queen mother......
