Chapter 129: Shoukang Palace Affairs
Yun Yao is not a cold-hearted person, she was very grateful to Bai Mei in her previous life, so Yun Yao wants to compensate Bai Mei in this life.
But Mama Su's current plan made Yun Yao completely dismiss her previous plan, everything Mama Su did had violated her interests, she had to admit that she was a selfish person after all, and she couldn't damage her own interests in order to repay the kindness of her previous life.
Yun Yao can't be completely ruthless after all, so for Baimei Yun Yao, she is not ready to kill them all, but Mama Su, Yun Yao couldn't help but flash a trace of ruthlessness in her eyes when she thought of her.
Yun Yao's desire to meet the Queen Mother was interrupted because of Mama Su, but Yun Yao did not give up this plan, Yun Yao was sending a letter to the family, asking them to deal with the affairs of Mama Su and Bai Mei, after all, Bai Mei still owes Buddha Sun's kindness, and Yun Yao doesn't want this matter to be bloody. After that, Yun Yao decided to meet the Queen Mother again.
At this time, Caiyu and the others didn't dare to persuade anymore, although they guessed that Mama Su was likely to have other plans, so they let the master kill him, but now that Caiyu is at this juncture, they are also very discerning and did not persuade again.
Shoukang Palace
At this time, the Shoukang Palace looks vibrant, and the eunuchs and palace maids who come in and out of it have smiles on their faces, and now the eunuchs and palace maids in the Shoukang Palace are very flattered when they go to other places to do things, and it is obvious that the status of the Queen Mother in the palace is rising more and more.
However, the Queen Mother is not a stupid person, so even if she holds the palace power now, she is still very dedicated, and she often beats the minions in the palace to make them dare not act recklessly.
The Queen Mother is now handling palace affairs in the main hall of Shoukang Palace, and now she is different from the image of the past, while being in charge of palace affairs, his means and temperament are a little aggressive. The palace people also know that the Queen Mother is not a soft persimmon.
Suddenly, a little palace maid outside the door came to report and said, "Qi Qi master, Zhao Concubine Niangniang is asking to see the master outside the palace." ”
The Queen Mother looked at the little palace maid in surprise when she heard this, and wondered: "Are you sure it's Concubine Zhao?" ”
Obviously, Yun Yao's actions even the Queen Mother knew that it was inappropriate, and she didn't expect Yun Yao to really come openly!
The little palace maid nodded and said, "The slave maid is sure that she is not mistaken, although Concubine Zhao's clothes are very similar to Concubine Niu Hulu, but the slave maid will definitely not know Concubine Niu Hulu." ”
After hearing this, the Queen Mother knew that she was right, in the past, when Concubine Niu Hulu and the queen were in the ring, they would often come to her and take her as a target, and she, the Queen Mother, would not affect the interests of Concubine Niu Hulu. Over time, even the little palace maids in the palace knew her.
You must know that he, the queen mother, has been chanting Buddha in the Buddha hall before and has not gone out, so it is naturally impossible for the palace maids in her palace to know the appearance of the concubines. If it weren't for Concubine Niu Hulu often coming to her, they wouldn't necessarily know Concubine Niu Hulu!
The Queen Mother listened and pondered, but had no words. A grandmother next to her knew what the Queen Mother was thinking when she saw this, after all, what Concubine Zhao did did not violate the palace rules, and there were precedents, so the Queen Mother was embarrassed.
If you let Concubine Zhao in, there is no doubt that you will offend the queen, but if you don't let Concubine Zhao in, you will offend Concubine Zhao at that time.
Although the honor of the queen mother does not have to care about the queen and Zhao concubine, but the queen mother is only the emperor's mother and not the biological mother, if the queen mother wants to live comfortably in the palace, it is best not to offend the emperor's concubines.
Thinking of this, this grandmother said: "Master, you are busy now, why don't you reject Concubine Zhao!" ”
The Queen Mother looked at the grandmother who had been with her for decades, and knew that she was angry that Concubine Zhao had put her in a dilemma before she said this, although the Queen Mother did not agree with this grandmother's attitude, but she was also comfortable with her maintenance.
Therefore, the Queen Mother said: "Ulan, the mourning family knows your intentions, but this matter still needs to be carefully considered!" ”
Seeing this, Ulan knew that the Queen Mother didn't intend to offend Concubine Zhao, so she said with some complaints: "Master, why should you be afraid of a little Concubine Zhao!" ”
Ulan has always been close to the Queen Mother, so the Queen Mother didn't care about the complaints in her words, but just said with a smile: "The Mourning family is naturally not afraid of Zhao Concubine, but now the emperor values Zhao Concubine, and the Mourning family naturally values Zhao Concubine." ”
Ulan saw the queen mother mention the emperor and swallowed a belly of words, Ulan is the queen mother's dowry maid, since the queen mother married into the palace Ulan has been following the queen mother, Ulan for the queen mother is like Su Ma Lama to the queen mother, Ulan naturally knows that now the queen mother can raise her eyebrows but because of the emperor's reasons.
If it weren't for the emperor handing over the palace power to the queen mother, there would be few people in the palace who cared about the queen mother. And only a few days after Concubine Zhao entered the palace, the emperor repeatedly broke the rules for Concubine Zhao, but the emperor was not too out of line, even so that everyone in the palace knew that Concubine Zhao was not something to be easily offended.
Wu Lan also knew that it was best for the master not to disobey the emperor's intentions, but she was still a little breathless in her heart.
The Queen Mother didn't care when she saw that Wulan didn't speak, speaking of which, although the Queen Mother had to see Concubine Zhao because of the emperor's face, the Queen Mother still didn't like Concubine Zhao, the person who caused her a lot of trouble.
The queen mother instructed the palace maid and said, "Go and invite Concubine Zhao in!" ”
The little palace maid said respectfully: "The slave maid takes the order!" Then he bowed and withdrew.
And at this moment, Yun Yao was waiting at the gate of the palace, and Caiyu looked at the gate of the palace in a bit of a panic, anxious. Seeing this, Yun Yao comforted Caiyu and said, "Caiyu doesn't have to worry, just wait with peace of mind!" ”
Caiyu didn't know what to say when she saw Yun Yao's calm and relaxed appearance, so she just asked, "Niangniang, what if the Queen Mother doesn't see Niangniang?" Just now, the slave maid has found a lot of palace maids along the way, and now the news of the master's visit to Shoukang Palace may have spread all over the harem! ”
Yun Yao smiled and said nothing, obviously feeling that now was not the time to reveal the mystery.
Caiyu was watching from the side, but she could only pray in her heart that her master's plan would succeed!
Not long after, Caiyu looked at the door and found that the little palace maid who had just reported the news had returned, and she couldn't help but raise her throat, very worried about hearing the news that the queen mother was missing her master.
Yun Yao couldn't care about Caiyu at this time, and stepped forward and asked, "I wonder if the Queen Mother is free to see the palace?" ”
This little palace maid has obviously seen a lot of scenes, and she is neither humble nor arrogant in the face of Yun Yao, and saluted: "Concubine Zhao, the Queen Mother is free at this time, so she also invites Niangniang to enter the palace." ”
Yun Yao was also secretly happy when she heard this, knowing that her step was completed, Caiyu was also very happy when she heard the words of this palace maid, and the exposure was extremely obvious, so she said to this little palace maid: "Please also ask this sister to lead the way." ”
The little palace maid didn't dare to say anything, so she led Yun Yao into the place where the Queen Mother of Shoukang Palace was staying.
As soon as Yun Yao entered the palace gate, she saw a noble lady sitting on the top, Yun Yao didn't dare to take a closer look, and hurriedly knelt down to bow down, and said: "The concubine pays a visit to the Queen Mother, the mother is a thousand years old!" ”
After a while, Yun Yao didn't wait for the Queen Mother to speak. Yun Yao was ready to be snubbed by the Queen Mother before she came back, and seeing that the Queen Mother ignored her, Yun Yao still saluted respectfully, and there was no resentment on her face.
The Queen Mother carefully observed Concubine Zhao and wanted to know why she was so defended by the emperor. However, seeing that Yun Yao was neglected, she didn't say anything, and even remained as calm as water, the Queen Mother had to admit that Concubine Zhao was indeed not to be underestimated, and even Concubine Zhao was more experienced than the original queen and Concubine Niu Hulu.
If Yun Yao knew that the Queen Mother thought like this, I am afraid she would also smile bitterly. Yun Yao's self-cultivation kung fu was honed in the harem in his previous life, and if there was anything wrong, he would have disappeared from the palace a long time ago. Yun Yao is just years of training now!
The Queen Mother was cold enough for Yun Yao, so she said: "Concubine Zhao is flat!" ”
Yun Yao was also relieved when she heard the Queen Mother's relief, even though she knew that the Queen Mother would not be too embarrassed, she was still worried.
Yun Yao hurriedly replied: "Thank you, Empress Dowager!" Yun Yao quickly got up and didn't look directly at the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother saw Yun Yao get up, and then she really saw Yun Yao's appearance clearly, the Queen Mother looked at Yun Yao's face a little familiar, and was puzzled, when she heard someone next to her 'Huh', the Queen Mother knew that there was only Ulan by her side, and she was a little curious about Ulan's gaffe, so she looked at Ulan.
Yun Yao also heard someone suddenly speak, and she was a little curious about who was so unreasonable in front of the Queen Mother, but because of the palace rules, Yun Yao didn't dare to act recklessly.
At this time, Ulan also reacted to his gaffe, but the stakes were very high, and Ulan couldn't care about etiquette, so he hurriedly said: "Master, you see that Concubine Zhao and you look very similar, it's really fate!" ”
Yun Yao couldn't help but be surprised when she heard someone around the Queen Mother say this, although she was only a concubine in her previous life, Yun Yao had still seen the Queen Mother at the palace banquet, and the image of the Queen Mother had always been a tolerant and benevolent old woman in her heart, and Yun Yao didn't find any similarities between herself and the Queen Mother.
However, thinking that the Queen Mother has not yet reached the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, Yun Yao guessed that it may be because the Queen Mother is young now, so she doesn't know that she is similar to the Queen Mother. Yun Yao couldn't help but be curious when she thought of this, and she couldn't wait to see what the Queen Mother looked like just now!
And the Queen Mother listened to Ulan's words a little inexplicable, although Yun Yao didn't raise her head just now, but the Queen Mother sat on the top and also saw Yun Yao's appearance clearly, although Yun Yao's appearance made the Queen Mother feel familiar, but the Queen Mother thought that she knew her appearance, what Ulan said seemed to be a bit nonsense!
The Queen Mother was puzzled, so she wanted to ask Ulan, but when Ulan saw this, she knew that the Queen Mother did not understand what she meant, so she whispered in the Queen Mother's ear: "Naren Gege!" ”
In fact, Ulan's voice is already very small, but since Yun Yao got the adventure, her five senses have become more acute, and her hearing may not be more than Bai Mei's, so she also heard Ulan's words, Yun Yao didn't know who the 'Naren Gege' in Ulan's words was, but she also guessed that this person was likely to be someone who looked similar to her, otherwise this grandmother would not be so surprised, and even ignored the influence of the palace rules.
Yun Yao guessed who Naren Gege was here, and the Queen Mother was also shocked when she heard Wulan's prompt. looked at Yun Yao again, glanced at Yun Yao carefully, and said to Yun Yao gently: "Concubine Zhao, raise your head and let the mourning family see, do you really look like the mourning family?" ”
Yun Yao also found out that the Queen Mother suddenly became gentle, and was a little surprised, but listening to the tone, that Naren Gege should not be the enemy of the Queen Mother, otherwise she would not have such a good attitude towards a person who looks like her, so Yun Yao also let go of half of her heart, as for the other half, Yun Yao felt that she could not rest assured at least until she knew the truth!
Yun Yao said: "Yes, Queen Mother!" Yun Yao raised her head and looked at the Queen Mother, at this time Yun Yao also saw the appearance of the Queen Mother now, but it was very different from what she imagined.
When the Queen Mother was officially taken seriously, the Queen Mother was already nearly forty years old, and this age could call herself an 'old body' in ancient times, but now the Queen Mother's thirtieth birthday has not passed, although the Queen Mother did not wear some bright clothes because of Shunzhi's early death, but the Queen Mother was not an old woman who was a widow later.
Now the Queen Mother may be in charge of the palace power, and she is majestic, and she looks a little similar to the Queen Mother. Yun Yao sighed secretly in her heart, she didn't expect her actions to put the Queen Mother in charge of the palace power, and there was such a big change, I really don't know if it's a blessing or a curse?
The Queen Mother may not be as gentle and amiable as she was later, but now, but thinking that the Queen Mother is also from Mongolia, such a cool appearance is probably her true face. I can't help but sigh that this court is really terrible, and it can change a person like this.
Yun Yao kept thinking about things in her heart, but the Queen Mother took a closer look at Yun Yao, but the more she looked at it, the more she was happy, she looked at Wulan, and obviously found that Yun Yao really looked like an old friend.
Since Yun Yao entered the hall and saw Yun Yao's appearance, Ulan's disgust towards Yun Yao has become much smaller, and seeing such a similar appearance, Ulan suspects that this Zhao Concubine Niangniang is likely to have a lot to do with Naren Gege. Therefore, he said softly: "Master, Concubine Zhao hasn't sat down since she entered the palace, why don't you give Niangniang a seat?" ”
The Queen Mother saw that Ulan's attitude had changed greatly, and she also knew that Ulan was suspicious of Qi Yunyao's origin, but she was also a little skeptical, so she smiled and said, "Since this is the case, I won't give Concubine Zhao a seat." ”
After the Queen Mother finished speaking, a little palace maid stepped forward to move an embroidery stool for Yun Yao, and Yun Yao hurriedly thanked her and said, "Thank you for the Queen Mother's compassion!" After that, he carefully sat down on the embroidery stool.
When the Queen Mother saw Yun Yao sitting down, she asked softly: "Concubine Zhao, the mourning family is very kind when they see you, but it's fate!" ”
Before Yun Yao could speak, Mama Wulan quipped: "Yes, yes, Concubine Zhao's eyes are very similar to your master." ”
Yun Yao also realized that her eyes were really similar to the Queen Mother, and she was flattered and said: "It is a blessing for a concubine to be able to look like Niangniang." ”
The Queen Mother also smiled: "This is also fate, Concubine Zhao doesn't have to be humble." After that, the Queen Mother asked: "Concubine Zhao doesn't look very old, are there any elders in the family?" ”
Yun Yao said respectfully: "The Queen Mother, the concubine's parents are there, but the grandfather and grandmother have passed away, and the concubine has only seen her grandfather, and the grandmother died of illness shortly after the concubine was born." However, I heard that my grandmother is also Mongolian, and I am fortunate to be of the same clan as the Queen Mother. ”
The Queen Mother thought of the age of the person she knew, and now it was at least Yun Yao's grandmother, and Yun Yao's grandmother happened to be a Mongolian, but she died again, and her heart chuckled.
The Queen Mother asked again: "Concubine Zhao's appearance is quite similar to a Mongolian like the Mourning family, is it possible that Concubine Zhao's appearance is inherited from her grandmother?" ”
Yun Yao said: "What Niangniang said is exactly, it is said that not long after the concubine was born, the concubine's Marfa said that it was like a grandmother when she saw the concubine, and now Ama also said that it is like this, presumably the appearance of the concubine is not better than that of the grandmother." ”
Yun Yao's words made the Queen Mother touch the cup on the table to the ground all of a sudden, and Mama Wulan, who was beside the Queen Mother, also looked at Yun Yao with a shocked expression.
