Chapter 208: Inevitable Punishment (I)
Rong Hua was walking by the bridge, his arm was pulled coldly, he raised his head to look, and smiled gently at the princess of Shangzhuang, "Be careful, this bridge is not like the main bridge that the queen mother walked, the bridge deck is a little steep." Collect~牛*文*
.”
Rong Hua smiled slightly, "Thank you, Princess." ”
Prince Zhuang said: "What are you doing so politely." As he spoke, by the way, he looked at the new cloud shoulders given by Mrs. Wu Muhou Tao, who was slender, and although he looked good, he had no good looks, and smiled slightly after looking at it.
Prince Zhuang's smile immediately turned into praise, "Although Mrs. Wu Muhou is young, she has a good reputation, and the Empress Dowager praised Madame again just now," after a pause, she asked again, "What does Madame like to do on weekdays?" ”
Rong Hua looked at Prince Zhuang and replied with a smile: "It's nothing, it's just a needle and thread......"
Prince Zhuang smiled and said, "I heard that Madame wants to plant the trial seeds of the imperial court?" ”
Rong Hua nodded slightly, "Just thinking like this, I don't know if I can do it." ”
Rong Hua and Zheng followed Prince Zhuang and continued to walk forward, and Princess Zhuang said with a smile: "I have to take care of it from time to time when I want to try farming, which is very hard. ”
Rong Hua nodded and said, "There are also two people in the house who understand farming, so I thought about giving it a try." ”
Prince Zhuang smiled kindly: "The palace has also planted seeds for trial planting before, but in the first year, nothing was found, and in the second year, I found a few people who knew about agriculture and planted some results," said after a pause, "If Madame needs help with anything in the future, just say it." ”
Rong Hua thanked politely.
A few people walked forward, and gradually other ladies caught up to talk to Prince Zhuang and Princess Zhuang, and Rong Hua and Zheng were happy to retreat to the back.
The ladies are all respectful to Prince Zhuang and Princess Zhuang, and some people are more or less grateful in their words.
Zheng said in a low voice: "Prince and Princess Zhuang is a kind and enthusiastic person, and she has helped many people. ”
Rong Hua looked at Prince Zhuang and Princess Zhuang who were smiling as she walked.
Isn't Prince Zhuang also known as King Xian in the court? Many officials in the court also received his favors. No wonder among these princes, Prince Zhuang has the highest voice.
……
In the Changchun Palace, Chen Rouwan, who was beside the imperial concubine, said a few words in the imperial concubine's ear, and then came to the small room of the west side hall, where there was a palace maid kneeling on the ground and trembling.
Chen Rouwan sat on the brocade, and the palace maid kept kowtowing on the ground like sifting chaff, "The slave and maid really didn't mean it, begging Rouwan to spare her life, begging Rouwan to spare her life." ”
Chen Rouwan sneered, "Working in the palace, what can escape the eyes of others?" Don't you tell me quickly, what did you say to Mrs. Wu Muhou? ”
The palace maid trembled, "The slave really didn't say anything, the slave just accidentally burned a lady's finger." As he spoke, he seemed to remember something, "Xie Rouwan was also there at the time, if Chen Rouwan didn't believe it, she could ask Xie Rouwan." ”
Chen Rouwan was still unmoved, "I see that you are still hard-mouthed." ”
The palace maid said: "There is not only one palace maid who serves the ladies, but the slave and maid really didn't say anything." ”
While he was talking, another palace maid was passed in.
Chen Rouwan was just about to interrogate, only to hear someone behind her: "The emperor has left." ”
Chen Rouwan hurriedly got up from the pestle and hurriedly walked out of the house.
The imperial concubine sat on the big kang near the window, her face pale, Chen Rouwan sent all the palace maids in the room out, and stood aside waiting for the imperial concubine to speak.
"The emperor said that I was playing with right and wrong," said hatefully, "If something is really brought into the palace, I am afraid that I will say that I am vicious and want to harm the lives of Concubine Jing's mother and son, I am just a reminder, I am afraid that someone will frame me in the future, does the emperor not even understand this?" ”
Chen Rouwan knelt down and pleaded guilty, "It's all the slave's fault, the slave didn't get the real evidence, so the concubine was condemned." ”
The imperial concubine shook her head, "It's not your fault, it's like this in the palace, as long as there is the slightest negligence, it will ...... Be careful no matter what you do, even if you get the favor is just for a while, there are new people entering the palace every year, as the saying goes, the color is declining and the love is relaxed......"
Chen Rouwan couldn't help but say when she heard this: "Niangniang, don't say this, Niangniang is in her youth, and besides, Concubine Jing can enter the palace not because of Niangniang." ”
The imperial concubine shook her head, "It's useless to say this, it's all because I saw the wrong person." The person she took care of with one hand even climbed up on her shoulder. I thought I had caught Concubine Jing's handle, but I didn't expect Concubine Jing to set a trap for her.
Concubine Jing is right on her mind, she is careful in what she does, in this situation, she can't have the slightest mistake, otherwise she will fall short.
Chen Rouwan said: "The slave maid doesn't understand now whether Concubine Jing wants to bring things from outside the palace to blame Niangniang. ”
Concubine Jing smiled contemptuously, "You haven't understood yet, this is a trap set by Concubine Jing, only because I was too eager to catch her handle, I will fall into her way, this is Mrs. Wu Muhou did not go to Concubine Jing, if she really went, or someone brought something to Concubine Jing, I went to catch the dirty and failed, and I blamed Concubine Jing, and then everyone will know about it, and the people in the palace will see my jokes, and the foreign women who were invited to the palace for the banquet will also see my jokes." Concubine Jing chose today's opportunity, what is it if it is not a trap? ”
Chen Rouwan suddenly realized when she heard this, and then thought about today's danger, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
……
In the Hongde Palace, the emperor put down the book in his hand and listened to the chamberlain next to him reply.
"Prince Zhuang and Mrs. Cai talk a lot, Prince An's gift is the most valuable, and now all the foreign women are accompanying the old lady in the imperial garden."
"Where's Mrs. Wu Muhou?" The Emperor asked casually.
The waiter said: "Mrs. Wu Muhou didn't talk much, she only said a few more words with Mrs. Dingnan Boshizi. ”
The Emperor nodded.
The chamberlain said again: "The imperial concubine released the two palace maids. ”
The emperor didn't speak, but glanced at the chamberlain, who immediately bowed down and took a few steps back to stand aside.
Sensitive to hearing and hearing. This is the evaluation that Prince Zhuang gave when he was a child.
What Mrs. Wu Muhou met in the palace today, it is not an exaggeration to give her these four words.
It's just that there are many smart people, but there are very few people who can do the right thing.
……
The female official next to the Queen Mother stepped forward to serve the Queen Mother, and while everyone was not paying attention to the Queen Mother's ear, she said a few words, and the Queen Mother nodded and said with a smile: "Present the things to you"
As soon as the queen mother's voice fell, the palace people brought up all the rewards for the foreign women.
The foreign woman hurriedly knelt down to thank her.
The Empress Dowager smiled: "Okay, okay, let's all get up"
The rewards were all made by Ouchi with the seal of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the Queen Mother smiled: "The mourning family is old, and you are all still a good age." ”
Everyone laughed.
Rong Hua took the pinched gold silk and emerald beads in his hand from the tray held by the palace people, the hairpin was beautiful and fine, and the queen mother specially mentioned the female appearance, which was to warn everyone to abide by the woman's duty.
Everyone sent the queen mother away, and then the female official who led the way led everyone out of the palace again. After walking to the side of the sedan chair, Rong Hua turned his head to look at the woman Zheng of Dingnan Boshi, Zheng smiled and nodded to Rong Hua, and then turned around and got on the sedan chair together.
Rong Hua sat in the sedan chair, the sedan chair was gently lifted, and Rong Hua also breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had been prepared, the situation in the palace was changing rapidly.
It was only a few short hours.
The foil of the Zheng family, the wife of the prince of Dingnan, the expression of Prince and Princess Zhuang flickered, the initiative of Prince and Princess An, the queen mother's profound reward, and Concubine Jing's deep scheming......
It seems that Concubine Jing is on the side of Prince Zhuang. On the one hand, relying on Prince Zhuang, while controlling the Tao family, so that the child in the belly can be born smoothly, as long as Concubine Jing's belly is the prince, according to the law of this dynasty, once the emperor is great, the concubine has a prince, and the prince is an adult, after the prince builds a mansion as an adult, the concubine can be taken to the prince's mansion to live for a long time.
Whether she wants to die in the palace of old age, or can go out of the palace with the prince in the future, Concubine Jing finally got the opportunity to choose, and she will definitely not let it go.
It is impossible for the Tao family to escape from Concubine Jing's control, unless, as she thinks, Tao Zhengan withdraws from officialdom...... Fortunately, Concubine Jing's words gave her a reason.
Rong Hua was thinking about it, and the sedan chair stopped.
The foreign women came out of the sedan chair one after another, handed over the palace card, and were checked out of the palace by the inner attendant.
Outside the palace gate, the carriages of the various provinces were already waiting there.
Rong Hua and Zheng said a few words, and Zheng smiled and said, "Please invite your wife to come to the mansion in a few days." ”
Rong Hua smiled: "I was also about to invite Madame." ”
Zheng also smiled.
When entering the palace, there was more respect, and when they left the palace, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and their footsteps were fast, and after a while, most of the kung fu carriage and horses were gone, Rong Hua sat in the carriage, and Jinxiu was busy taking a mat for Rong Hua to put on his waist, and took out the soup and pastries.
Rong Hua couldn't help but be surprised, "When did you buy this?" ”
Jinxiu said with a smile: "It wasn't the slave maid who bought it, the slave maid thought that the young lady was missing these when she entered the palace, so she didn't think about it so much." It was sent by the Hou Ye, and the young lady just sent it for a while before leaving the palace, it was all warm, just to eat, and there was chilled plum tea. ”
Rong Hua smiled slightly, he was really hungry after seeing these foods.
Jinxiu instructed the outside to drive slowly, Rong Hua drank plum tea and ate some snacks, and just cleaned his hands with a silk, the carriage turned a corner in front of him, and suddenly stopped.
Rong Hua looked at Jinxiu, and Jinxiu was about to ask.
A voice came from outside: "Give this post to Mrs. Wu Muhou." ”
The mother-in-law quickly handed in the red post.
Rong Hua opened it and saw that it was a post from Prince An's visit.
So soon, I mentioned before that I was going to greet the old lady, and I was sent to the carriage as soon as I left the palace.
When the people from Prince An's mansion left, the carriage continued to move forward.
Rong Hua put away the post sent by Prince An, the carriage suddenly stopped, and the whole carriage suddenly slammed down, Rong Hua was not prepared at all, and the whole person couldn't help but rush forward.
At the same time, the horses neighed, and the groom neighing, "Get out of the way." ”
