Ciren Palace

Empress Dowager Cao called the grandmother who served the marquis.

"Mama Yan, has the prince of Weiyuan entered the palace to complain?"

Mama Yan stepped forward slowly and said softly: "Yes, he sued Cheng Qiniang and sued Chang'an Ling." ”

Empress Dowager Cao smiled: "Although I haven't done anything in the past few years, I also remember that Chang'an Ling is a person who is Fang Xiang, and Wei Yuan Hou is close to Hou Xiang." ”

Mama Yan nodded: "What Niangniang said is very true, Chang'an Ling was promoted by Fang Xiang, and he has also received the favor of Fang Xiang, and he is quite decent." ”

"It seems that this prime minister wants to send people in Chang'an Mansion." Empress Dowager Cao's face suddenly turned cold: "Tell me, what did the prince of Weiyuan tell Chang'an?" What did you say to Qi Niang? ”

Mama Yan said while thinking about it: "Weiyuan Hou Shizi complained that Chang'an Ling was not strict under the rule, so that foreign men entered the women's prison at will, so that many women lost their innocence, and accused Cheng Qiniang of not respecting the holy decree, going in and out of the women's prison at will, and did not know how to introspect, did not have His Majesty in his heart, and offended Tianyan. ”

"Huh."

Empress Dowager Cao sneered: "She's a good girl, this complaint...... I can't get along with a little girl, do you want to be embarrassed? ”

Mama Yan was about to persuade a few words, and the Empress Dowager Cao waved her hand: "You go and ask someone to guard at the gate of the palace, if Cheng Qiniang comes in, take her to see the mourning family first, the mourning family wants to see how the strange woman who can come and go at will in and out of the Chang'an Mansion prison looks like?" It can't be three heads and six arms. ”

Mama Yan smiled and withdrew.

Empress Dowager Cao thought of the fact that a few days ago, Emperor Kandi came to quarrel with her for Empress Cao's affairs, and she was depressed again.

Now that she is getting older and older, it is natural to think about what will happen later, she originally thought that Emperor Yuan Kangdi married the daughter of the Cao family, and she should be able to protect the wealth of the Cao family for two generations.

But he didn't expect that Emperor Yuan Kang and Empress Cao did not agree, and the two often quarreled.

Emperor Yuan Kang is weak, but Empress Cao is a tiger girl, and she will beat Emperor Yuan Kang if she disagrees, and the Empress Dowager Cao also sulked a lot.

Today, she wants to meet Cheng Yanluo, and she can't say that she can relieve her troubles.

Mama Yan called a little eunuch here and asked him to wait at the gate of the palace.

Cheng Yanluo followed behind the eldest brother of the guard and walked slowly to the gate of the palace.

She looked left and right, and said to the eldest brother of the guard with a smile: "If I slap the palace gate, I don't know what will happen?" ”

The frightened guard brother was sweating profusely: "You...... Be merciful, if you are really tired of walking, I will carry you into the palace. ”

As he spoke, the eldest brother of the guard really bent over.

Cheng Yanluo smiled: "Just kidding, I didn't expect you to take it seriously, big brother, you are too sincere." ”

The corners of the guard's mouth twitched slightly.

He felt that all the pity and sympathy he had for Cheng Yanluo when he was on the street should be fed to the dogs, and this girl didn't need that at all.

Seeing that he was about to enter the palace to see the driver, or to be beaten on the board, he might also be punished very heavily, but he was still alive and kicking, and he didn't feel nervous and scared at all.

The guard's eldest brother swallowed the words of advice.

This girl doesn't need it.

He took Cheng Yanluo into the palace gate, and before he had walked a few steps, he saw a little eunuch rushing over: "This is Cheng Qi Niang, right?" ”

Cheng Yanluo smiled: "Yes, my fame is so big, even you know it?" ”

The little eunuch also smiled: "Yes, Qi Niang's fame is great, the Queen Mother has heard about it, no, the Queen Mother asked the little one to take Qi Niang to Ciren Palace." ”

The eldest brother of the guard was a little embarrassed when he heard this: "Father-in-law, Your Majesty is still waiting there." ”

The little eunuch glared at the guard: "The Queen Mother called Cheng Qi Niang, do you want to make the Queen Mother wait for a long time?" His Majesty is filial, and if he wants to come, he doesn't want to ask the Queen Mother to bother to wait. ”

The guards were choked up by this, and they were speechless for a moment.

He could only watch as the little eunuch took Cheng Yanluo away.

Cheng Yanluo followed behind the little eunuch, without saying anything flattering, let alone giving silver taels and expensive gifts.

She just walks in a regular manner, doesn't look around, doesn't talk at will.

When he arrived at Ciren Palace, the little eunuch stepped forward with a smile and talked to an old woman, Cheng Yanluo heard that the little eunuch was called Yan Mama, and knew that this was the confidant of the Empress Dowager Cao.

She also followed over to greet Mama Yan.

Mama Yan smiled and dodged: "The girl is old and broken." ”

Cheng Yanluo got up and said with a smile: "I have heard of Mama's name outside the palace for a long time, and I know that you helped the Empress Dowager to retreat from the enemy and protect the deeds of the first emperor, I have always wanted to see your old man, and now I finally have to taste what I want." ”

Mama Yan heard Cheng Yanluo mention that she and the Queen Mother took the eunuchs and palace maids to repel the enemies and thieves who invaded the palace, and she was proud for a while.

This is the proudest thing in her life, and every time she talks about it, it always touches her heart.

Today, Cheng Yanluo talked about it again, so that Mama Yan's impression of her was much better.

Mama Yan saw that Cheng Yanluo was polite and polite, not as rude as the rumors outside, and knew that the rumors were wrong, so she wanted to stay for a while and help Cheng Yanluo say a few words in front of the Queen Mother.

"The mother is waiting for the girl, the girl will come in with the old man first."

As Mama Yan spoke, she took Cheng Yanluo into the Ciren Palace.

Cheng Yanluo met the legendary Empress Dowager Cao for the first time.

There are many legends about the Empress Dowager Cao outside, some say that she is shrewd and capable and not inferior to a man, some say that she is authoritarian, and even say that she is a unique person and cannot tolerate others.

All in all, because of the things that happened between Empress Dowager Cao and Emperor Yuan Kang before, the rumors about Empress Dowager Cao are not very good now.

But Cheng Yanluo, as the daughter of the sect, admired this old queen mother very much.

At the beginning, if it weren't for the Empress Dowager Cao, I'm afraid that this Great Qi Dynasty would have long since ceased to exist.

When the thieves broke into the palace, it was the Empress Dowager Cao, the tiger girl, who led the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace to resist to the death, not only protecting the first emperor, but also driving the thieves out of the palace, so that the Great Qi Dynasty can continue to this day.

Based on this alone, Empress Dowager Cao should be respected by everyone.

Cheng Yanluo looked at this legendary figure lying crookedly on the couch, his hair showed some signs of graying, and there were some fine lines on his face, and there was a trace of heroic twilight and beauty in his heart.

"I've seen the Queen Mother."

Cheng Yanluo took a few steps forward and bowed down towards the Empress Dowager Cao.

She was unwilling to bow down to Emperor Yuan Kang, but in the face of Empress Dowager Cao, Cheng Yanluo's bow was convinced.

"It's Qi Niang, get up." Empress Dowager Cao sat up straight with a smile, waved her hand to ask the palace maid who was serving her to take a few steps back, she stretched out her hand and personally helped Cheng Yanluo up.

Cheng Yanluo got up and smiled sweetly: "It's me." ”

In the Yang Palace, Emperor Yuan Kang sat a little impatiently.

Weiyuan Hou Shizi also stood with sore feet.

He moved the place: "Your Majesty, you have to severely punish Cheng Qi Niang this time, otherwise, let people know that she regards the prison as her home, she can enter if she wants, and she can get out if she wants, which can damage Your Majesty's prestige, and the Chang'an Order, it is really hateful......"

The prince of Weiyuan Hou was still there to complain, and the guards in front of the palace came forward and went back and forth: "Your Majesty, Cheng Qiniang has entered the palace." ”

"Call her in." Yuan Kangdi looked angry.

The guard said carefully: "Before I entered the palace, I called the people from Ciren Palace." ”

Is this a robbery?

Yuan Kangdi's heart was even more angry.
