Chapter 401: Unexpected Joy
οΌ
Mrs. Xue got up from the soft couch and asked Mother Li to help her change into a plain coat.
Mother Li became nervous, "Is it the incident of Concubine Jing who is coming here in the palace...... After all, Concubine Jing is pregnant with the dragon and is in power, and the emperor is willing to listen to whatever she says in front of the emperor. When Mother Li said this, her voice lowered, "Old lady, you have to help the young lady block it." βοΌ
The old lady folded her sleeves, "It's too late to say anything, let's listen to what the palace means." The old lady came out of the suite and sat down on a chair, and the maid ushered the chamberlain in.
Gonggong Zhou shook the cold air on his body, stepped forward to salute the old lady, "Say hello to the eldest princess." βοΌ
The old lady hurriedly smiled and said, "Father-in-law, hurry up, how dare you bother your father-in-law to run on such a cold day." β
A smile appeared on Father-in-law Zhou's face, "Our family is also doing things for the Queen Mother, but it just disturbs the eldest princess's rest." βοΌ
When the old lady heard the Queen Mother, her face suddenly became solemn, "The Queen Mother ............ Mother",
Gonggong Zhou smiled and said, "The Queen Mother has something to ask Mrs. Wu Muhou, so let our family go this way." β
Mother Li personally brought the tea to the low table beside Father-in-law Zhou, and led the people in the room to retreat.
The old lady's face tightened, her eyes deepened, and she looked at Father-in-law Zhou pleadingly, "Is there something wrong with this kid Ronghua...... Let the Queen Mother ...... "If it is a trivial matter, the chamberlain will naturally reveal one or two."
Father-in-law Zhou's eyes flickered in embarrassment, and he said after a while: "Does the eldest princess know about Mrs. Wu Muhou's mother's family?" How can it be said that the Li family is also a relative, Concubine Jing is still pregnant, is Mrs. Wu Muhou a little reckless? β
Mother Li's heartbeat, who was listening outside the door, suddenly accelerated. The attendants around the Queen Mother all said so, then the Queen Mother ...... Hold your breath and listen carefully.
Old Madam Xue sighed and spoke, "So that's the case............ I also heard that something happened to Rong Hua's mother's family, and I haven't asked in detail. At the beginning, the family went out to buy fabrics, and happened to meet the Tao family's family selling clothes, Rong Hua heard about it and asked people to go back to their parents' house to ask. Even I didn't expect that one of us would be defeated like this. Father-in-law Zhou took over the conversation, "That's what he said." βοΌ
The old lady said: "After all, it is the granddaughter-in-law's maiden family, and I don't want to ask too much" said with an apologetic face...... Rong Hua and Ming Rui moved to the South Courtyard, "The road is farther, and the annoying father-in-law has to make a trip." β
"Mother Li."
Hearing the old lady's voice, Mother Li hurriedly took the tray from the maid behind her, and respectfully presented the silver to Gonggong Zhou.
Gonggong Zhou laughed, "The eldest princess is polite." As he spoke, he asked the little father-in-law next to him to take the silver.
Mother Li bowed, "The slave and maid will guide the father-in-law." βοΌ
Jinxiu picked out the red charcoal and put it in the charcoal cage and moved it to the bed.
Chunyao carefully wiped Rong Hua's hair.
The long hair was a little dry, and there was still a faint scent of jasmine flowers on it.
The red jade sent in the goose-yellow forehead guard, Xue Mingrui took the forehead guard into his hand, and Chunyao retreated one after another.
Rong Hua wanted to reach out to protect his forehead, Xue Mingrui's slender fingers swept over the green silk on Rong Hua's forehead, and put the forehead guard on with his own hands.
"Does your head still hurt?" οΌ
Rong Hua smiled slightly, "It doesn't hurt." "The warm water running over my head was really comfortable. After drying her hair, she slept for a while, although it was only a blink of an eye, she slept very sweetly.
Rong Hua sat up, her dark hair falling on her shoulders, taking advantage of her fair and ruddy face. The white plum and bamboo jacket on her body, the clean color makes her exceptionally beautiful.
Xue Mingrui took Rong Hua's hand, Rong Hua raised his head, "Under the gaze like a wave lake, Rong Hua embarrassedly opened his eyes.
Today is already out of the ordinary, let Xue Mingrui wash her hair. After a while, let Jinxiu see this appearance, how will she make rules in front of her subordinates in the future.
"Rong Hua is an early child."
Rong Hua was about to retract his hand, but stopped when he heard this. Just about to turn her head to ask, the corners of her mouth softened, and Xue Mingrui's lips fell on the corners of her mouth.
Lip splitting. Look at the handsome face with a faint smile.
He deliberately deceived her into distraction, "but he had to pretend that nothing happened."
"Master Hou, young lady." Jinxiu's eager voice broke the peace in the room: "Someone from the palace came, saying that he was ordered to ask the young lady something." βοΌ
It was the Li family who entered the palace and told Concubine Jing about the outside matter.
Rong Hua raised his head and looked at Jinxiu, "Let Hongyu go and get the clothes" You comb my hair. After speaking, he was about to get off the ground as soon as he propped up his arms on the soft couch.
Xue Mingrui took Rong Hua's hand and gently sorted out Rong Hua's long hair that was not dry, "I'll deal with it first, you don't have to worry." β
Facing Xue Mingrui's clear gaze, Rong Hua nodded.
I had expected that someone would come to the palace. "Not deliberately preparing" means that everything is natural.
It's natural and easier to believe.
Xue Mingrui walked out of the house, and Jinxiu hurriedly stepped forward to help Rong Hua sit on the brocade pestle and "lightly combed Rong Hua's long hair," the waiter went to the old lady first, and he didn't sit long before coming to the south courtyard. βοΌ
It must be so, otherwise there would have been news earlier.
This matter involves Concubine Jing's mother's family, and Concubine Jing is not good at coming forward alone, so it is logical for the Queen Mother to ask, since she is not a person sent by the Queen Mother, she naturally has to go to see the old lady first.
Rong Hua got dressed and came out of the inner room, and Xue Mingrui talked to Father-in-law Zhou for a while.
Gonggong Zhou stepped forward and saluted Rong Hua, "Mrs. Wu Muhou." βοΌ
Rong Hua returned the salute, "Let my father-in-law wait for a long time." Father-in-law Zhou immediately said: "If it weren't for the errand, our family wouldn't dare to bother Mrs. at this time." β
Rong Hua said politely: "Where are the words" There was a worried look on his face, and he slowly sat on the chair and waited for Father-in-law Zhou to speak.
Gonggong Zhou also put away his smile and said officially: "The Empress Dowager asked me to ask Mrs. Wu Muhou, what is going on between Concubine Jing's mother's family and Mrs. Jing's mother's family. βοΌ
Rong Hua heard this, and his face showed a gloomy expression, "Don't hide it from my father-in-law, everyone in the capital knows that my uncle's family has sold a lot of property of the Tao family, I can't believe it after hearing it, and then I want to ask for the truth to let people check it" Speaking of this, he paused, "I wanted to quietly redeem the things, after all, it is a family affair that everyone knows" Who knows that the news has spread out ......", the news between merchants is circulated with each other, and no one can block the lips and tongues of merchants, Even if she looked closely, she couldn't find out who leaked the news first, so she asked people to spend money to redeem the Tao family's objects. As long as some things are touched by the noble family, the news will spread faster, even if the Li family is a relative, it is difficult to stop the mouths of the people, if this step is not calculated, how dare she go to Concubine Jing's mother's house?
Father-in-law Zhou listened carefully.
Rong Hua continued: "It has indeed been thoroughly checked, and now there are pawn tickets and objects placed there, it is really difficult to cover it up, which alarmed the people in the clan." β
Gonggong Zhou listened and nodded: "Those pawn tickets that Mrs. Wu Muhou said can be in the mansion?" β
Rong Hua shook his head, "This is a family matter, and it is the Tao family from beginning to end. I am a married daughter, at most I can go back to hear the news, those things are naturally in the hands of the elders of the clan, and now the clan has elected the uncle of the third room as the patriarch, and I think these things are either in the hands of the respected uncle, or in the hands of the patriarch. β
Gonggong Zhou glanced at Wu Muhou, who had a cold face, and if this kind of thing happened to Mrs. Wu Muhou's mother's family, the Xue family would also be uncomfortable, after all, it was an in-law family......
Gonggong Zhou stood up, "In that case, our family will go back to resume their lives." β
Xue Mingrui and Rong Hua stood up to see each other off.
Father-in-law Zhou said again and again: "Master Hou and Mrs. stay." β
Sent away Grandpa Zhou. Rong Hua breathed a sigh of relief and instructed Jinxiu, "Prepare a coat to come out, I will go to the old lady." β
Xue Mingrui stretched out his hand to pull out the hairpin on Rong Hua's head, and the long green silk came down, and said with a slight smile: "No need, I'll go to my grandmother's house to reply, you dry your hair and rest early." β
Entering the inner room, Xue Mingrui bent down and hugged Rong Hua in the bed.
Rong Hua raised his head and saw the silver hook swaying, the curtain was like smoke, and there was still a faint fragrance of jasmine in his hair, Xue Mingrui's slender eyes gently hooked her hand, and then separated.
Looking at the back of Xue Mingrui leaving, a smile appeared on the corner of Rong Hua's mouth. went to the old lady to reply because he was afraid that the old lady would resent her, but in this way, the elders would feel that he was too arrogant to her.
She would rather take the latter's fault than the former.
The next day, water was passed in the Yikun Palace early to freshen up.
Concubine Hua's mourning period has passed, and from now on, there will be joy in the harem and outside the palace. Even if a noble woman has a life, it is only in exchange for these few days, the most important thing is the glory that she fought for before her death, Concubine Jing traced her eyebrows in the mirror. Long eyebrows and sideburns, with a high bun, make people look more noble.
The female official brought an apricot-colored Shu brocade small phoenix tail gown for Concubine Jing to wear, this gown is slightly narrow at the waist, and it looks like the abdomen is high and bulging when worn.
Concubine Jing had breakfast, and Rouwan beside her also inquired about the news, "The Tao family is going to take a break from Mrs. Tao." β
Concubine Jing remained silent, and she was going to convict the Li family of fault with just a few things, not only to make the Li family guilty of embezzling other people's property, but also to make the Li family an abandoned woman.
Besides, most of the Tao family's property is pressed in the pawnshop, which noble family does not have the situation of pressing the property with money, let alone a small Tao family. The Li family should not meddle in the affairs of the Tao family at most, opening their mouths is embezzling property, where is the ironclad evidence of the Tao family? How should the Xue family be responsible for breaking into the Li family with their family?
Concubine Jing stood up and asked the female official to help her walk out of the main hall and sit on her shoulder.
When the shoulder went all the way to the gate of Cining Palace, Concubine Jing asked people to help her walk into the courtyard and instructed the attendant to pass the report.
Concubine Jing stood for a while, and the attendant came out to open the curtain and Gong Qing Concubine Jing entered the inner room.
Concubine Jing took off her clothes, took the hand stove handed by the female officer, took two steps forward, and suddenly heard a sobbing sound from the inner room.
Concubine Jing had a sneer on her face. Mrs. Wu Muhou is also smart and knows how to complain about grievances in front of the Queen Mother. Although Mrs. Wu Muhou is also pregnant, can she be more noble than the prince in her belly?
The nose concubine put away her smile and walked into the inner room, and sure enough, she saw a woman in a command dress sitting on a brocade and wiping her tears.
Concubine Jing didn't take a closer look, and saluted the Queen Mother first, "The Queen Mother is blessed with Jin'an, the concubine has saluted you." β
The Queen Mother smiled kindly, "It's really hard for you to have such a big belly, get up quickly!" Saying that, he beckoned Concubine Jing to sit on the soft couch next to her, "It just so happens that Mrs. Chang Ningbo has also entered the palace today." β
Hearing this, Concubine Jing looked over in surprise.
Mrs. Ren of Chang Ningbo, who was wearing a command uniform, stood up and saluted Concubine Jing, "Concubine Ren Chu meets Concubine Niangniang, Concubine Jing Niangniang Wan'an." β
Looking at Ren Chu's flattering gaze, Concubine Jing frowned slightly.
Didn't the emperor say yesterday that the Queen Mother summoned Mrs. Wu Muhou in Cining Palace, but how could she let Mrs. Chang Ningbo also enter the palace.
The sign for entering the palace was issued the day before, since Xue Tao was summoned, why did he give Chang Ningbo's brand again.
Concubine Jing glanced at the brocade box on the low table in front of the Queen Mother, which must have been a gift from Chang Ningbo's family. Mrs. Chang Ningbo entered the palace this time, could it be that she wanted the Queen Mother to intercede for Chang Ningbo? The harem must not interfere in the government, and it is stupid for Chang Ningbo's family to have such an idea.
The emperor has already been angry, and if he continues to be entangled in this matter, not only will Chang Ningbo's family not die well, but the person who helps the intercession will also seek his own death, don't say that the queen mother, as long as there are some brains, people will not get this benefit. She didn't want to be involved with Chang Ningbo's family, Concubine Jing thought about it, with a detached expression on her face.
The female officer poured hot water for Concubine Jing and retreated.
Mrs. Ren also sat back on the brocade.
The Empress Dowager sighed and looked at Mrs. Ren lovingly, "The mourning family knows that it is not easy for you.
It's just that when the court is employing people, who can the emperor use without your cronies? The emperor must have felt that Chang Ningbo was stable, so he entrusted him with a heavy responsibility", speaking of which, the queen mother glanced at Concubine Jing, "Concubine Jing, did you say?" β
Concubine Jing didn't expect the Empress Dowager to suddenly ask her, raised her head in astonishment and looked at the Empress Dowager's gentle eyes, and said after a while: "The concubine also thinks so, if Chang Ningbo can make a great contribution, it will be full of glory." β
Mrs. Ren was taught: "The concubine understands. It's just that the concubine's uncompetitive son is really young and frizzy, and he is afraid that he will miss the major events of the court, and the concubine is "......, and he is really afraid that he will cause trouble to the whole family, so he .........
The Empress Dowager pondered for a moment, "Does the emperor mean to let the son go to the northwest with his father?" β
Mrs. Ren wiped her tears and nodded.
The Empress Dowager looked at Concubine Jing: "Has Concubine Jing heard the emperor say it?" β
Concubine Jing glanced at Ren Chu, "The emperor doesn't talk about political affairs in front of his concubines. β
The Empress Dowager sighed, "When the emperor comes, the mourning family will ask." β
Mrs. Ren was overjoyed, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed to thank her, "Concubine Xie Empress Dowager, Concubine Xie Jing." β
The queen mother twisted the Buddhist beads in her hand, "The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and the mourning family will tell the emperor about your motherly heart." β
Mrs. Ren is even Mu head again.
The Queen Mother stretched out her hand, "Alright, get up!" β
Mrs. Ren then got up and wiped away her tears.
The Queen Mother drank \\1. Cha remembered one thing, "I remember the last time I heard you say that the stepfamily of the prince is from the Tao family like Mrs. Wu Muhou?" β
Abuse, must be abused
