Chapter Seventy-Two: Face Saint

"How did the Queen Mother know that Cheng Qi Niang had entered the palace?"

Emperor Yuan Kang stood with his hands in his hands, his face full of anger: "Check it out to me, who revealed it to the Queen Mother." ”

The prince of Weiyuan Hou shrank back, not daring to brush the tiger's whiskers at this time.

Yuan Kangdi was angry for a while, and he knew that there was no way to take the Queen Mother, so he had to give up.

However, he still called the little eunuch Hou outside the Ciren Palace, so that he could call him directly when Cheng Qiniang came out.

The prince of Weiyuan Hou hurriedly stepped forward at this time, cautiously talked to Emperor Yuan Kang for a while, and said to Emperor Yuan Kang: "Your Majesty doesn't know, there is a Qing man over there in Wei Lou, and he is really good-looking." ”

Yuan Kangdi had no choice but to respond.

Weiyuan Hou Shizi said with a smile: "And the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are all excellent." ”

Yuan Kangdi was a little interested: "It's really so good." ”

Weiyuan Hou Shizi whispered: "Your Majesty will know when you go to see it, it's really good, you can sing and dance, and the paintings you draw are also a must......"

Emperor Yuan Kangdi loved calligraphy and painting, and as soon as he heard that prostitute's calligraphy and painting were unique, he had the idea of making friends: "Rush Ming'er to take a look." ”

Ciren Palace

Empress Dowager Cao listened to Cheng Yanluo talk about things outside the palace, and the more she listened, the more energetic she became.

She took Cheng Yanluo's hand: "There is a seller of cooking cakes over there in Ping'an Fang, is it still there?" ”

Cheng Yanluo nodded: "Yes, the cooking cakes in that house are so delicious, I have bought them several times." ”

Empress Dowager Cao sighed: "I didn't think it was still there, when the mourning family was young, they also loved to eat his family's baked cakes, and they also loved to use the rouge of Biluofang, but it's a pity that I haven't been out of the palace for so many years, and I don't know what the palace looks like now." ”

Cheng Yanluo said: "If the Queen Mother is interested, just drive Ming'er out to have a look." ”

Empress Dowager Cao waved her hand: "Although the emperor doesn't care about the mourning family now, it is not difficult for the mourning family to go out, but the mourning family is still reluctant to go out. ”

Cheng Yanluo saw that Empress Dowager Cao really liked to listen to folk things, so she picked up a lot of fun things, and she also had a heart, and she also mentioned Gao Xiuxiu's matter to Empress Dowager Cao.

Of course, she didn't tell Empress Dowager Cao that Gao Xiuxiu was a thief, only how Gao Xiuxiu was given a dowry by her husband's family and how she was sent to prison.

Although Empress Dowager Cao is old, her temper is still so strong, and she is a little chivalrous, and when she heard about this, she was immediately angry: "How can this be reasonable, how can there be such a hateful person in this world, if such a person is asked to be admitted to the Jinshi and become an official, I don't know how to prey on the people." ”

Cheng Yanluo nodded: "What you said is that I am young and ignorant, not as long as you think, I am just holding grievances for Sister Xiuxiu, and I can't bear her to be on death row, so I entrusted the relationship to buy the cell boss and reported her death, and asked someone to help her get a household registration paperwork, so that she can be free, think about it, Weiyuan Hou Shizi should know about this matter, and I don't know why he had to go with a child with me, and he actually went to His Majesty to complain, I am nothing, after all, this is the case, but I am worried about Sister Xiuxiu, if this matter is really ...... Sister Xiuxiu may not survive. ”

"Don't worry." Empress Dowager Cao took Cheng Yanluo's hand and patted it: "You are also kind-hearted, you want to save people's lives, then the Gao family is not at fault, you shouldn't have been imprisoned, although you are doing this against the law, but it is in line with human feelings, if you really make something for this matter, the mourning family will carry it for you." ”

Cheng Yanluo hurriedly got up and bowed deeply to the Empress Dowager Cao: "Then I will thank you for Sister Xiuxiu first, if Sister Xiuxiu knows, she will definitely be grateful." ”

"You're a good boy."

Empress Dowager Cao looked at Cheng Yanluo, and the more she looked at it, the more she liked it.

She only had one son in her life, and she died of illness early, and now she is inevitably lonely in the palace.

Empress Dowager Cao thought that if Emperor Pingchang had children, he would be much older than Cheng Yanluo, and maybe there would be children as big as Cheng Yanluo.

Thinking of Emperor Pyeongchang, she was a little uncomfortable.

Cheng Yanluo is also used to being a looker.

As soon as she saw that Empress Dowager Cao was in a low mood, she looked for something to talk about again.

She didn't talk about it, she just talked about the words written by Song Qi and Qin Xu, and picked up the good and strange ones and told them to the Empress Dowager Cao.

When Empress Dowager Cao heard the story, she immediately forgot about Emperor Pingchang.

Cheng Yanluo's talk was actually talked about for more than an hour, but Emperor Yuan Kangdi couldn't wait to send someone to urge, so Empress Dowager Cao couldn't get enough of letting Cheng Yanluo leave with the little eunuch sent by Emperor Yuan Kang.

Naturally, Empress Dowager Cao also reciprocated, and she said to Mama Yan: "You go to Dangyang Palace, just say what I said, Qi Niang is still young, if there is anything inappropriate, the emperor, who is an uncle, should also be tolerated." ”

Mama Yan really followed.

Cheng Yanluo entered the Dangyang Hall with his front foot, and Mama Yan chased after him with his back foot.

She didn't speak, but stood quietly aside, just looking at Cheng Yanluo.

Yuan Kangdi didn't fight when he saw Cheng Yanluo.

Cheng Yanluo didn't care if he was angry or not, and stepped forward to salute: "Meet Your Majesty." ”

Emperor Yuan Kangdi waited for Cheng Yanluo to kneel, and he didn't shout, but just asked with a straight face: "Cheng Qi Niang, are you guilty?" ”

Cheng Yanluo raised his head with an innocent face: "The courtiers have already committed a crime, otherwise why would Your Majesty put the courtiers in prison?" ”

Yuan Kangdi is angry.

How are you going to talk about it this day?

Mama Yan lowered her head and smiled, and endured it very hard.

She decided to learn this matter to the Empress Dowager Cao, and she must have coaxed her to be happy for a long time.

"I'm asking about the mistakes you made after you went to the women's prison."

Emperor Yuan Kang coughed vigorously, making himself not so embarrassed.

Cheng Yanluo blinked: "Made a mistake? The courtiers don't know, and they hope that His Majesty will tell them. ”

Emperor Yuan Kang took his eyes to look at the prince of Weiyuan.

Weiyuan Hou Shizi stepped forward, pointed at Cheng Yanluo and said: "Cheng Qi Niang, I ask you on behalf of Your Majesty, you made a mistake and went to prison, why didn't you think about it, but went in and out of the prison at will, what did you become when you were in the prison of Chang'an Mansion?" Is it where you play at home? ”

Cheng Yanluo was not in a hurry, let alone angry, and said unhurriedly: "This, if you want to talk about this, there is really such a thing." ”

"Cheng Qi Niang." Yuan Kangdi slapped the table: "You say, how should I punish you?" ”

Cheng Yanluo frowned: "Your Majesty, the courtiers also know that it's not good to do this, but the courtiers don't want Your Majesty to bear the charge of disrespecting the ancestors and the great grandfather, so there is no way to get in and out of the prison." ”

"How dare you quibble?"

Wei Yuan Hou Shizi angrily pointed at Cheng Yanluo and was about to scold.

Cheng Yanluo sneered, reached out and grabbed one of the fingers of Weiyuan Hou Shizi, and broke his finger without much force.

Weiyuan Hou Shizi didn't want to be so neat as Yanluo, but with a single sentence, he broke his fingers, he squeaked in pain, and the people who listened to the miserable scream were furious.

"Cheng Qi Niang?"

Yuan Kangdi was startled, shrunk his body first, and then became a little annoyed and angry: "You don't know how to repent......"

Cheng Yanluo ignored Emperor Yuan Kang, but looked at the Hou Shizi of Weiyuan with a cold face: "I talk to Your Majesty, what are you, how can you intervene at will, no matter how bad I am, I have made a big mistake, I am also a sect daughter, and I am the same ancestor as Your Majesty, and it is not your turn to teach a lesson to a person with a foreign surname, have you forgotten what rules Grandpa has left?" I'll say it again to you, whoever humiliates the daughter of the sect at will will be punished ......"

The prince of Weiyuan Hou Shizi was so painful that he had to roll, and he asked Cheng Yanluo to teach him such a lesson, he was full of hatred, and he couldn't wait to bite Cheng Yanluo to death immediately.

Emperor Yuan Kang was also afraid that something bad would happen to the Hou Shizi of Weiyuan, so he hurriedly asked someone to pull the Hou Shizi of Weiyuan down and asked the imperial doctor in the palace to give him a bone.

After the Hou Shizi of Weiyuan left, Cheng Yanluo looked at Emperor Yuan Kang again: "Your Majesty is high on the dragon chair, I don't know what the situation is in the prison at all, the prisoners' meals in the prison are all fixed, the amount is very small, and it is also very bad, so I won't say it, who told Your Majesty to say that I am guilty, and insist on putting me in prison, then I will take it all my guilt, and I should eat what those pigs don't eat, but no matter how bad the food is, at least I have to be full, Your Majesty also knows that I have a lot of strength and a lot of food, so many things are not enough for me to stuff my teeth, If I don't go out to forage for food, I will starve to death in two days, and if I die in prison, Your Majesty will not be able to bear the infamy. ”

Cheng Yanluo is really eloquent, and with a few words, he can completely push away a big crime: "I think so much about Your Majesty, but what about Your Majesty? Just two or three words from the prince of Weiyuan Hou will condemn me? If Your Majesty thinks I'm guilty, then let's decide, what can I do as a little woman except to accept the guilt? Anyway, I'm just like that, and the great sin is just to be transferred from one prison to another, and I can't say that the food in other cells is better. ”
