Chapter Twenty-Four: Irritability Out of Control
"Say hello to the Queen Mother." Banniang Zhang Yu knelt outside the felt curtain of the East Warm Pavilion of the Hongde Palace.
When she first came in, she glanced at it, and she faintly saw a graceful figure in the pearl curtain, but she hurriedly lowered her head and didn't look carefully, holding Zhang Xi in her arms tightly with both hands.
A female officer in red wanted to hug Zhang Xi, but she didn't let go.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
"Lift your head up and let Lone look." A clear voice sounded, with just the right amount of majesty.
Banniang Zhang Yu's heart trembled slightly.
It's very subtle, if it weren't for Zhang Xi in her arms, she wouldn't have noticed it at all, in the eyes of outsiders, what she saw was Zhang Xi raising her head calmly, neither humble nor arrogant.
The eyes are like peach blossoms, the lips are like grease, the face is crystal plump, and the facial features are delicate and bright......
There was a thud on the ground, like the sound of small objects toppling down.
It was accompanied by a gasping sound.
Inside and outside the curtain, it seems to freeze time all of a sudden, and the surroundings are very quiet.
This quietness made Zhang Xi, who was staying in the arms of Banniang Zhang Yu, a little unbearable, and even a little scared, she was really afraid, and Empress Dowager Yang was the most unbearable person.
Once you calm down, it is often a sign that something bad is happening.
Zhang Xi hurriedly babbled and shouted.
Breaking the silence of the room.
Banniang Zhang Yu was a little flustered in her heart, and hurriedly looked at her sister in her arms, obviously she was very obedient all the way, why did she make a fuss at this time.
It's just that Zhang Yu didn't have time to coax his sister, and the clear voice inside sounded again.
This time, the voice was obviously a little softer.
"Concubine Qing is here."
A string of beaded curtains swayed, the felt curtains outside hung high, and the familiar smell of Su Hexiang hit the face, but I saw a concubine-colored palace beauty get up and walked out of the curtain.
Long eyebrows into the sideburns, sharp eyes, as if able to penetrate people's hearts.
"Give Concubine Qing to Lonely." As he spoke, the person had already bowed down slightly and stretched out his hand towards Banniang Zhang Yu's arms.
Banniang Zhang Yu subconsciously dodged.
Then, Empress Dowager Yang's eyes sank, staring directly at Zhang Yu, looking at it, and scrutinizing it, before she said for a long time, "You have a good pair of eyes." ”
I want to pick up Zhang Xi directly.
"No, Ah Mei recognizes life." Zhang Yu didn't know where he got the courage and was unwilling to let go.
Empress Dowager Yang snorted lightly, "Your eye saw that Concubine Qing was born." ”
Banniang Zhang Yu looked down at her arms, trying to hold the arm of Empress Dowager Yang, and her sister, who was grinning openly, her face was blue and white, as if she had exhausted her mental strength and collapsed.
The force in his hand suddenly loosened.
When Zhang Xi saw it, she was full of guilt, and she couldn't bear to look at her eldest sister directly, but she really just wanted to ease the relationship, she knew Empress Dowager Yang better than anyone else.
In that life, none of the people who worked against the Empress Dowager Yang had a good end.
The eldest sister is like a mother, hard and straight like fire, and vicious like hatred.
She is really worried that how long can the eldest sister endure the upbringing she has received since she was a child?
"Concubine Qing stays, and Lone will take her to Tao Paradise later." Empress Dowager Yang picked up Zhang Xi, glanced at the red-clothed female official, and then turned around and walked towards the warm pavilion.
When Banniang Zhang Yu came back to her senses, the thick felt curtain had been lowered, covering her vision, and she could only hear the sound of Ah Mei's babbling, coming from the warm pavilion.
"Lady, the maid will send you to Tao Paradise."
The female officer in red stepped forward to help Zhang Yu, but asked her to shake her off, "Ah Mei is inside, I won't leave." ”
"Lady ......"
"Let her kneel." The sound of anger came from the warm pavilion through the felt curtain, and the female official's words swallowed in her throat, and she didn't help Zhang Yu anymore, but stepped aside.
In the warm pavilion, Zhang Xi, who let Empress Dowager Yang hold in her arms, looked at Empress Dowager Yang with an angry face, and was very anxious.
Especially the eldest sister is still kneeling outside.
The hall is not as warm as the pavilion, there is no ondol, even if there is a very thick blanket on the floor, it is very cold, if the eldest sister kneels for an hour, how can her knees stand it.
The plum banquet in Tao Paradise was also attended by Zhang Xi in previous years.
knows that Empress Dowager Yang has always just gone to respond to the scene, and she will leave after sitting for less than a moment, so she never passes in advance, and most of them pass when she is about to end.
"What does Concubine Qing like?" Empress Dowager Yang looked at Zhang Xi's face, and the anger rolling in her heart suddenly fell, and she saw Zhang Xi looking around blankly, as if she was looking for something, so she asked.
Holding Zhang Xi, he was amused, pointing to the screens, hanging mirrors, incense burners, corals and other things in the room.
If it was in normal times, Zhang Xi would cooperate.
Right now, the eldest sister is kneeling outside, and she is really not in the mood.
The so-called urgency is unwise, the more anxious Zhang Xi is, the more he can't think of a way, and tears are about to flow out.
"Concubine Qing is a good child, don't cry."
Like a slap in the face, Zhang Xi suddenly remembered that Empress Dowager Yang hated children crying the most, and she couldn't care about anything else, so she cried loudly, so that Empress Dowager Yang hated it, she was a milk doll, and she was kicked out of Hongde Hall at most.
At least the eldest sister doesn't have to kneel outside.
"Don't cry." Empress Dowager Yang's voice suddenly sharpened.
Zhang Xi almost choked when she heard it, but only once, she simply ignored it, and howled, her body was strong, and her crying shook the world.
Banniang Zhang Yu, who was guarding outside, heard the cry, got up and was about to break in, but asked the female official to stop her with a few palace maids, and held her and didn't let her move.
"Queen Mother, my sister is still young, give her to me, and I'll coax her." couldn't get in, Banniang Zhang Yu had to shout anxiously inside.
As soon as the voice fell, like a gust of wind, Empress Dowager Yang threw Zhang Xi into the arms of Banniang Zhang Yu, her eyes were red, and her face was full of irritability, "Get out, get out, get out, all lonely." ”
Hearing this, Banniang Zhang Yu seemed to have the sound of the Buddha's language, picked up Ah Mei, and rushed out of the hall.
Rushing out of the Hongde Palace, Zhang Yu found that she was not familiar with the palace, and none of the palace attendants around her stepped forward, only looking at them coldly.
Zhang Yu gritted her teeth, she remembered that Tao Yuan was in the north, so she hugged her sister who was still crying and walked towards the north of Miyagi.
As the crying faded away and disappeared into invisibility, the irritability on the face of the Empress Dowager Yang, who was in the Dongnuan Pavilion, slowly faded, and after a long time, the out-of-control emotions were recovered.
Leaning on the crypt sac, he muttered, "After all, it's not a lonely little girl." ”
The palace people serving next to him seemed to hear it, but they didn't seem to hear it.
The whole person lost his mind for a long time.
"Send someone to take them to Pottery Paradise."
Empress Dowager Yang suddenly ordered such a sentence, which caught the palace people around her a little off guard, so she had to hurriedly respond, someone hurriedly retreated, and heard Empress Dowager Yang ask: "Where is Yang Zhongshi?" Haven't come back yet? ”
"Hui Niangniang, not yet."
It was the red-clothed female officer who replied, "I was originally going to come back, but His Majesty sent someone to call Yang Zhongshi." ”
Empress Dowager Yang nodded, "Have the Yang family all entered the palace?" ”
"They all came in, and they were waiting outside the hall, to say hello to the mother."
"Let them in." After Empress Dowager Yang sat up straight, the daughters of the Yang family rushed in, but the eldest lady Yang Zhaorong was missing.
