Chapter 042: Chauvinism
Seeing Chen Ying's serious hands and legs, Li couldn't help but laugh, but before the laughter was born, his eyes were red again, and he pulled Chen Ying and said, "Why are you like a child?" Sit down and talk. ”
Chen Ying sat down as she said and brought the warm tea cup to Li's hand.
She did not mention Bao Yuchun and Zheng Chaozhu to everyone.
The former involves privacy, and she plans to report to the old lady Xu separately, so that the old man can have a correct understanding of the eldest princess's mansion and prepare for future responses.
As for the latter, in theory it is something that did not happen, and since it did not happen, there is no need to mention it.
"The Queen Mother is really narrow, and she actually wants you to go to the palace for a little girl's family to try some poisoning case in the palace. It's ...... Outrageous! In front of his own family, Li had no scruples in speaking, and he was extremely disrespectful to Empress Dowager Xiao in his words.
When Chen Jun and Chen Ying heard this, their faces did not change.
Li's heart is devoted to his daughter, Chen Jun is wanton, and Chen Ying is a modern core at all. This family of three got together, and there was probably no one in the world who they didn't dare to den.
"Don't blame her old man, don't you want to be cold." After a long time, Chen Jun shook his sleeves and gave an evaluation without care, the meaning of the words was scathing, but his expression was calm.
Chen Ying didn't agree with him, glanced at him, and said, "This has nothing to do with his background, it's simply a matter of vision." There are still many constraints on women in this world, what women see in their eyes and hear in their ears, in that square courtyard, they naturally have little knowledge, their horizons are not wide, and their minds are narrow, so they can only pay attention to their eyes. In the final analysis, this does not blame the woman for her long hair and short knowledge, it can only be said that this world is not fair to women at all. ”
"Come on, come on, it's up to you." Chen Jun immediately raised his hands and made a gesture of surrender, which he had learned from Chen Ying.
Chen Ying smiled at him and said nothing more.
This time and space is rich in male chauvinistic pigs, Chen Jun is already a rare moderate, and she should be content.
"I often heard that my sister practiced archery, and I still thought you were stubborn, but I didn't expect you to be so powerful." Chen Jun changed the topic, and pouted in the direction of the Li family.
Chen Ying understood his intentions, so he said: "It's a coincidence that I, there were many guards at the time, even if there was no me, they could easily save Your Majesty." ”
"You can't say that." Li Shi immediately said, instinctively unwilling to let the danger experienced by his daughter become insignificant: "Ah Man has really made a meritorious service, otherwise the Queen Mother would not have sent Manager Jiang to deliver the letter in advance." When your fourth uncle heard the news outside the palace, he thought he had made a mistake, and asked several times before he was sure. ”
Seeing her mention Chen Li, Chen Ying's heart moved slightly, and after thinking for a while, she made a casual appearance and asked softly: "Mother, is the fourth uncle very familiar with the people in the palace?" ”
Li Shi was stunned and looked at her in surprise: "Why do I ask that?" Could it be that something happened? ”
"Nothing." Chen Ying immediately denied it, knowing that the Li family had never been easy to fool, so he said the excuse that he had thought of a long time ago: "My daughter just thought that my grandmother specially asked the fourth uncle to send me, is it because the fourth uncle is more familiar with the palace, so she chose him." ”
"You're thinking too much." Li shook his head with a smile, and the expression on his face was a little indifferent: "Your grandmother has her own reasons for arranging it this way, and it is not what you think." ”
Chen Ying nodded, giving up the idea of inquiring about the news from the Li family.
Zhou Chaogui's matter can only wait for the opportunity to ask Chen Li himself, but Chen Ying always feels that Chen Li should not say anything, or even admit it at all.
In fact, on the way back home, Chen Ying and Chen Li had the opportunity to get along alone, but Chen Li didn't say a word about it, as if a sentence that came suddenly in the dark night was completely Chen Ying's illusion.
But Chen Ying knew that it was definitely not an illusion.
What is the secret of Chen Li's body?
For this fourth uncle, who has never had much intersection, Chen Ying is a little more curious.
In the following time, Li and Chen Jun asked Chen Ying about some things in the palace, but Chen Ying still picked what he could say, and the time was not early, so they rested in peace.
Nothing was said all night.
Early the next morning, Jiang Yusheng appeared at the Guogong Mansion with several eunuchs.
When he came, he was no longer as cold as before.
With a warm smile on his face, he greeted Mrs. Xu and Xu with a smile, especially when he saw Li, his smile was more courteous.
He also made meritorious contributions.
Chen Ying smelled the smell of incense from his sleeve, which gave everyone a chance to save the car in time.
Empress Dowager Xiao believes that if it weren't for her quick decision (Chen Ying thinks this evaluation is not an exaggeration, Empress Dowager Xiao's response is indeed very fast), and the reminder of the chief manager of Changle Palace at the critical moment, things would not have been resolved so smoothly.
Naturally, in Empress Dowager Xiao's narration, Jiang Yusheng is no longer a poor eunuch who was frightened and frightened by Chen Ying, but has become a wise manager who took the initiative to notice the smell on his body and reminded Chen Ying to pay attention.
Of course, Emperor Yuan Jia would not wipe the face of the Queen Mother, and rewarded Jiang Yusheng last night, and raised the level of his inner palace steward by half a level. In this way, in addition to He Shun'an, Jiang Yusheng was the most powerful eunuch in the imperial city.
With this premise, Jiang Yusheng's attitude towards the Guogong Mansion has improved unprecedentedly.
Accompanied by his courtesy, Chen Ying entered the imperial city for the second time. And this time, there are more Xunzhen and Luo's mother by her side, and she is finally no longer alone.
When he stepped on the deep and long road leading to Changle Palace again, Chen Ying looked up and stared, the only line in the sky was full of layers of floating haze, even though it was daylight, it still made people feel depressed.
She wished it was the last time she would come to this place.
The Queen Mother and the Queen Mother are all sitting in the main hall, and the whole hall is as deep and solemn as yesterday, the only difference is that the incense has been changed.
Agarwood incense replaced the moon incense, and the elegant breath came to the face, no longer yesterday's gloomy and quiet.
"That's it, don't say goodbye, come and sit." Before saluting, Queen Situ ordered someone to stop Chen Ying.
Her gaze was extremely soft, and she beckoned to Chen Ying as she spoke.
Chen Ying took advantage of the situation to skip the kneeling salute, and slowly walked to the throne of the Empress Dowager Xiao, and at a glance saw a small gold-lacquered pestle that seemed familiar.
It looks like she's going to have to sit in this uncomfortable position and talk.
"Sit down and talk." Empress Dowager Xiao finally opened her mouth, and the expression on her face was not much kinder than yesterday, which can be called a pleasant face.
