Chapter Twenty-Four: Getting Involved

The goose feathers and snow came one after another, spreading all over the world, suppressing the raging tongue of fire. However, the sudden arrival of ice and snow is not pleasant.

Tang Yue's state of mind is probably the same. It's really sad that she is not as respectable as people, not as expensive as people, not as high as people, and not as important as human rights, but she is not allowed to be beaten and scolded by others, and she is not allowed to vent her anger wantonly...... She walked in the palace, not only representing herself, but also representing the family behind her, the Tang Mansion and the Cui family.

The anger in her heart swayed, but she was suppressed the moment she touched the sky, the more angry Tang Yue was in her heart, the calmer her voice became, so calm that Dongyang could almost feel the wind, frost, ice and snow revealed between her breaths, and she was caught off guard and smashed on her face. "Your Royal Highness Princess, do you have any orders?"

Dongyang paused for a moment, slightly weak-hearted, and looked at Tang Yue without waves, as deep as an abyss, and felt panicked in his heart, and thought of the purpose of his coming, thinking of Tang Yue's betrayal, and his noble status, he raised his head high, his eyes were contemptuous, and his lips opened and closed with a few words: "Command? Can I still command you? Aren't you in the same boat as Concubine Xi? If I dare to order you today, then tomorrow it will be my turn to be scolded by my father, and my palace maid will be killed by my father's staff!" The words were conclusive, and her eyes were full of anger, the more Dongyang thought about it, the more angry she became, only to feel that all the flames were rising on her head, almost burning her whole body!

"Princess—if this is the only reason for this to come, I think the princess can go back to the palace and rest. Tang Yue's face was expressionless, her lips opened and closed like a puppet clay sculpture, "Why should you ask others to do what the princess can't do by herself?"

"You dare to speak to this princess like that?" Dongyang slapped his backhand, and his eyes widened angrily.

Tang Yue is not stupid, he was unprepared before, but this time he is not! Directly took two steps back, Dongyang's slap missed, it may have been too hard, and the palm wind lifted straight up a strand of hair in Tang Yue's ear.

"Is the county lord here?" The voice from outside the door was just right to block Dongyang's next move. It's green shoots.

Bypassing the flowers, stepping into the porch, brushing the door curtain, turning to the ear, there was no surprise when he saw Dongyang, but his eyes were stunned for a few moments when he saw the red marks on Tang Yue's fair face, and he still saluted Dongyang without changing his face and heartbeat, and then bowed to Tang Yue, and said, "County Lord, the Queen Mother is invited." Seeing Tang Yue nodding and motioning for her to lead the way, she turned sideways to let Tang Yue go first, Tang Yue's eyes deepened a little, and he didn't refuse, and went out. Lu Ya said to Dongyang with a straight face and a reprimand, "If Her Royal Highness the princess is fine, please go and see the queen mother more, so as not to talk too much." ”

Dongyang's face was blue and white when he was said by the green buds, his breathing was a little chaotic, and the queen mother behind the other party didn't dare to say anything, so he could only endure it, and he had a little bit of Tang Yue's feelings.

Wait until the main hall of the Queen Mother, and be led by the green buds to go to the water pavilion, near the water against the mountain, the water is murmuring and the mountains are verdant, the swimming fish and green lotus, the interplay is interesting, occasionally the wind moves the willow waist, the eyebrows roll up the fine water, the birds and birds contend, under the shade of the twilight, there are stone pillars falling on the pondside, the word book mirror lake.

The Queen Mother copied everyone's calligraphy in the water pavilion, made clothes with light yarn, accompanied by an ice basin, and placed grapes and other things that had just been taken out of the ice on the table next to her, and even the tea was an iced sour plum soup.

Tang Yue saw it, his eyebrows frowned slightly, and he suddenly found that since the abdication of Taishang, the Queen Mother has been living alone in the palace. And the Queen Mother seems to be happy to see it?

Tang Yue said hello to the Queen Mother. Tang Yue bowed, his eyebrows drooped slightly, and he suppressed his thoughts.

"Get up. The Queen Mother casually asked her to get up, "You all stand down." Green Sprout Yang Liu and the others retreated according to their words, and before leaving, Yang Liu looked worriedly at the marks on Tang Yue's face that gradually became swollen.

"Come and sit. Tang Yue sat obediently on one side, and saw that the hairpin flower in the Queen Mother's pen was graceful, and the flowers were like branch petals, soft and beautiful.

"Dongyang beat you?" the Queen Mother put away her pen, glanced at Tang Yue and said lightly.

"Her Royal Highness seems to be in a bad mood today. "Caring about him, Tang Yue has always felt that he should never trust anyone in the palace, so that he can live a long time, although the queen mother treats her well, but Dongyang is the eldest daughter of today, after all, she has always been a thousand pets, a county lord with the name of the county lord can't be compared with people, even the county lord with a back cover and food can't be compared with Her Royal Highness the princess!

Fortunately, the Queen Mother didn't say anything, but only talked about another topic strangely: "The emperor has a month to go before his birthday, and at that time, a group of palace maids will be released from the palace, and the envoys of South Vietnam will also come to ask for marriage." You are often outside the palace, and you think that there is a daughter of the Manchu Dynasty who deserves the honor?"

Tang Yue was stunned for a moment, and made peace with his relatives? Isn't the candidate Sun Yanwei? After thinking about it for a while, he still felt that Sun Yanwei was the best choice, and said, "Tang Yue has the courage to say that the last sentence is not good, and the queen mother will listen to it as a joke." "Speaking of the mundane things these days, "Tang Yue used to be confined to the rules and never went out, and he didn't see many noble girls, but he also heard some rumors about the noble girls. The marriage between the two countries is a major event, and although it is not a matter of pride to tie the good of the two countries and protect the diplomatic relations between the two countries, South Vietnam has no hardships and hardships except for being farther away. Tang Yue heard from his travelogue and from the traveling merchants that the people of South Vietnam believed in Buddhism, and his monarch almost became a monk to serve in front of the Buddha. "Tang Yue pondered how to speak, and beware of being afraid that the wall would have ears, in case there was anything, it would be really disturbing" Tang Yue felt that Sister Sun Yanwei was suitable. Tang Yue whispered, "Now there is no princess of the right age in the royal family, and there are many arrogant people in the county lord, Sister Sun has enlightenment in the Buddhist scriptures, is humble and peaceful, and is really the most suitable candidate." ”

But she was a little less tough. The Queen Mother couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "It's really not good for the affairs of the two countries to be tied to a weak woman, but think about it in another direction, if a woman can maintain diplomatic relations between the two countries and protect the people of the two countries, such merit is also immeasurable!"

"Heqin, you still have to have such a mind. That's it, don't talk about this, the wound on your face should be dealt with earlier, tomorrow is the fifteenth, the emperor will come to say goodbye, see, it's not good. The Queen Mother smiled faintly, clapped her hands and called the maid to come in to send Tang Yue back, and rewarded her with a lot of silk and satin, and asked her to cut new clothes to congratulate the emperor on his birthday. Strange thing, isn't the emperor not going to do a big deal this year? In addition to the tribute of the subject country, only the courtship of Nanyue is more solemn, but in any case, she can't get involved in these things even if she is a girl with filial piety!

Filled with doubts, he returned to the room, and the green sprouts said in Tang Yue's ear, "Be careful of Concubine Xi." You handed over a small box through the sleeve of your shirt, about the size of two knuckles.

Tang Yue was puzzled, Yang Liu closed the door and window, and the wind chime forgot to open the small box, it was a bell without a bell tongue! Tang Yue felt familiar, and when he looked around, it was something from Rui Wang's Mansion!

Princess Rui likes to hang wind chimes under the corridor, a string at each of the four corners, the spring breeze is warm, the summer style is cut, the autumn wind is intermittent, the winter wind is choosing, all have different scenery and interest, if it is matched with the clear rain under the corridor to hit the porcelain cup, it is even more pleasing to the eye.

Tang Yue picked up the bell and looked at it carefully, but found a small piece of yarn in the bell where it should have been the bell tongue, soft smoke, azure color, with ink characters on it, and it was also a hairpin flower, which was a little more ethereal than the queen mother's.

Tang Yue suddenly remembered that she personally inscribed the characters of the water pavilion hugging the mansion everywhere in the Xi Concubine Palace, and when she went there for the first time, she also asked the palace maid which famous master wrote it! So, is Xi Concubine a person from Rui Wangfu?

Tang Yue felt bad in his heart, and the wind chime said again: "The high court has come to ask the Queen Mother for peace." ”

Tang Yue's mind turned, and he thought about it, and asked Yang Liu to pinch the time to go to the short road of the high court's judgment! Sure enough, half an hour later, Yang Liu invited the high court to come over. Dressed in Tibetan imperial medicine, he carried a medicine box, and looked like Tang Yue owed him a lot of money with a straight face!

Tang Yue knew that he was like this, so he got up and saluted without being surprised, and then asked people to sit down, poured tea and poured water before going straight to the topic: "Is Concubine Xi really pregnant?

"Really. "The High Court's judgment is not annoying, and the patience is excellent. After all, the person in front of him can be said to be his junior sister, although he is really younger, but compared to another bad female apprentice his father, it is obvious that this junior sister who can be literate and martial, proficient in incense, and has a degree of advance and retreat, can be more pleasing to people.

"Then when you go to check the pulse, is it a silk diagnosis or a curtain? Or is there any special situation that happens after all?" Tang Yue believed that as long as she was careful enough, she would definitely find Concubine Xi's fox tail!

"It's through the curtain. "I really remembered the high court's judgment at that time, before the pulse diagnosis, Xi Concubine fainted directly because of vomiting, nausea, dizziness, and was sent to bed by the maid and invited him again, when he checked the pulse, the curtain was heavy, only a woman's wrist stretched out, and she couldn't be sure whether the person in the curtain was Xi Concubine herself!" "The High Court judged that after thinking about it, he still said it, there are too many problems with Concubine Xi!

Tang Yue said coldly, "Concubine Xi's Qiangong Dial Bed is so big, if she doesn't go out and stay in it all day, it's not impossible to hide another person." "But who is that person? It's not a small sin to disturb the palace curtains.

"It's possible. The high court judged that the face was gloomy and compared with black charcoal, the woman's thousand-worker step bed needs a craftsman to do a thousand days and nights to do a good job, which is from the four treasures of the study to the rouge gouache to the toilet and other things, everything is available, and there are extremely complex rules, one into the shoes, two into the undressing, three into the wash, four into the bed. It is also thanks to the great cause of the Wang family, so that she took thousands of workers to enter the palace.

"Thank you, Doctor Gao. Knowing that this matter was not suitable for Imperial Doctor Gao, Tang Yue decisively decided to send people away, so as to choose people out, and asked Yang Liu to seal two balls of Pu'er tea for the High Court to take away, but thanked the High Court for coming over to adjust the prescription for her. Although her prescription is in charge of the old lady Gao.

There are no absolute secrets in the palace, especially when you don't plan to hide the secret, the rumors simply flew and spread, but fortunately, the queen mother suppressed the matter, but the people who should know still knew. For example, Bai Li, such as the Tang brothers, such as the emperor and Tang Xu.

For example, Sun Yanwei and Jiang Mi.

"Sister Yue, are you okay?" It was Sun Yanwei who spoke, this girl is still quite kind, but she has time to twist her brain and try to drill the horns.

Jiang Mi also brought brown sugar to see her.
