Chapter 242: Yin Cao (17)
Empress Dowager Dong returned to Beijing.
Returning to Zhaoyang Palace from Ci'an Palace, Yan Ruyu's face was very ugly, gloomy as if she could drip water.
The palace people in the hall were all trembling, for fear of touching her moldy head.
Shaoguang lowered his eyes and said to the other palace people in the hall: "Let's all go down." ”
Xirong suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly withdrew from the palace with the other palace people, Concubine Shu has always been gentle and amiable in front of Emperor Wen, like a beauty who came out of the Jiangnan Yanyu painting, but it was all to Emperor Wen.
Concubine Shu's temperament is actually the most ruthless.
When there is such an obvious outburst, they are likely to be angered.
"Shao Nanzhi, that slut, I'm afraid I'm going to turn over!" A hint of gloom flashed in Yan Ruyu's eyes, and she slapped the table suddenly, "This palace also has an imperial heir, so she didn't give this palace face like this!" ”
Shaoguang stepped forward to help her up and help her take off her cumbersome formal clothes.
When Empress Dowager Dong returned to the palace, as usual, all the concubines and concubines in the palace had to be welcomed, and in addition, they had to go to Ci'an Palace for training together.
Queen Shao Nanzhi still claimed to be ill to the outside world, and Emperor Wen refused to let her come out, so the concubines in the palace were all headed by Concubine Wen, and they knelt down in Ci'an Palace.
Empress Dowager Dong sat beside Emperor Wen squarely, her eyebrows and eyes lowered, there was no trace of a smile on her face, and her gestures were full of natural majesty.
"Get up."
"Empress Dowager Xie." The concubines led by Concubine Wen said in unison.
Emperor Wen gave Shaoguang a look, Shaoguang immediately stepped forward to help Yan Ruyu up from the ground, Yan Ruyu did not refuse, since she was pregnant, such a gift has never been done at all, not to mention that her belly has been nearly five months old, and she has already shown her pregnancy.
Empress Dowager Dong's gaze swept over, and the concubine who was helped up by the palace maid looked particularly eye-catching in the crowd.
"How many months has Concubine Shu's belly been?" There was no emotion in her voice.
Yan Ruyu's eyelids jumped, and she immediately replied on her knees: "Back to the Queen Mother, it's been almost five months." ”
Empress Dowager Dong sighed, she couldn't see what kind of mood she was in, but she didn't open her mouth for a long time to let Yan Ruyu get up, Yan Ruyu had to bend her knees, Shaoguang saw that Yan Ruyu had a cold sweat on her forehead, and she was a little anxious.
Emperor Wen was full of pity and gave Shaoguang another look.
Shaoguang was about to step forward to help Yan Ruyu.
Empress Dowager Dong snorted lightly, put the teacup in her hand on the table, and shook Emperor Wen's heart with a bang.
"It's only five months, and I have to be supported by palace maids everywhere, it's really a porcelain man!" The corners of Empress Dowager Dong's mouth drooped, and her eyes suddenly became sharp, "When I mourned my family, I waited by the side of the Empress Dowager Gongci before giving birth. ”
Xing'er is the name of Emperor Wen, surnamed Li, and the single word Xing.
Empress Dowager Dong called Emperor Wen by his name in front of all the concubines, but Emperor Wen did not dare to have any objections, because he was really afraid of his childhood, so he did not dare to resist.
Emperor Wen hurriedly whispered: "The queen mother is hard. ”
Empress Dowager Dong glanced at him and said slowly: "Serving the Empress Dowager Gongci is a blessing for the mourning family, why talk about hard work?" ”
"What the Queen Mother said is very true." Emperor Wen said busily.
Empress Dowager Dong glanced at Concubine Wen lightly, and Concubine Wen immediately buried her head lower, for fear of being picked on the wrong place.
She has been with Emperor Wen for more than ten years, and gave birth to the eldest prince, but she has not been liked by the queen mother, who once reprimanded her for being submissive and difficult to reach the hall of elegance in front of the palace concubines.
"Why don't you see the queen? The mourning family heard that she was sick? ”
Emperor Wen frowned, but he was a little apprehensive in his heart: "The queen has been working on the affairs of the six palaces all the year round, and when she fell ill, her sons let her recuperate in peace, and when her body is recuperated, she will then take charge of the six palaces." ”
Empress Dowager Dong glanced at him lightly, and Emperor Wen only felt terrified.
Empress Dowager Dong still cared about his emperor's face in the end, but said unhurriedly: "In this way, the queen's illness is not a serious illness." ”
Emperor Wen pursed his lips and said after a while: "Yes." ”
Yan Ruyu's forehead was covered with fine cold sweat, her legs were sore and trembling, her teeth were biting her lower lip tightly, and her lowered eyebrows and eyes were full of hatred.
Emperor Wen looked distressed: "Queen Mother, Concubine Shu is still pregnant, she was miscarriage by the sinner Wei family, and her body has not been very good. ”
Empress Dowager Dong looked at Emperor Wen deeply, and Emperor Wen felt weak for a while.
She turned her eyes to look at Yan Ruyu again, and said: "The emperor favors you, but you can't be proud of this favor, you still need to persuade the emperor to wet the rain and dew, which Concubine Rong did very well in the past." ”
Emperor Wen didn't know what Empress Dowager Dong thought, why did she mention Concubine Rong.
He frowned, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Queen Mother, the Wei family is ruthless and cruel to the imperial heir, Concubine Shu's child was killed by her, and the queen mother will not mention her again in the future." ”
Empress Dowager Dong glanced at him, and Emperor Wen's hardness suddenly disappeared.
Although she mentioned Concubine Rong, she didn't like Concubine Rong very much, Concubine Rong was not as easy to handle as the queen, a chess piece didn't need to be too assertive, and she didn't need to be too smart.
"The concubines follow the teachings of the Queen Mother." Yan Ruyu bit her lip and lowered her body again.
Empress Dowager Dong felt that it was almost over, so she got up.
"The mourning family doesn't want you to come to Ci'an Palace to serve like the mourning family used to, you just keep the child in your belly tight, and you don't have to come to Ci'an Palace to say goodbye in the future." Empress Dowager Dong is well versed in the combination of grace and power, first hit a stick, and then give a date to eat, she raised her eyes and looked at Mama Sang.
Mama Sang immediately understood, walked into the back room and took out a phoenix hairpin.
"The mourning family looks at your fair complexion, this phoenix hairpin should be very good with you."
Yan Ruyu immediately thanked and said: "The concubine thanks the queen mother, and the concubine must remember the queen mother's teachings." ”
In the time after that, Empress Dowager Dong ordered a few words from Wen Guifei, and met a few of Emperor Wen's newly accepted concubines in the past two years, all of whom dispersed after less than a stick of incense.
Empress Dowager Dong left Emperor Wen in Ci'an Palace and let them all retire.
Yan Ruyu is in the limelight, and naturally many people are willing to see her jokes.
Today, she lectured in Ci'an Palace, but she didn't train others, just trained her, she was naturally annoyed and panicked!
"Don't worry about it, the slave thinks that it's not a good thing for the queen mother to be like this." Shaoguang stepped forward and comforted.
Yan Ruyu glanced at her and sneered: "Let's hear it." ”
"Niangniang think about it carefully, although the queen mother asked the queen today, but she didn't interfere too much, according to the queen mother's temperament, it can be used by the mother to be pregnant in the name of letting the mother raise the fetus with peace of mind, and the emperor is not allowed to stay in Zhaoyang Palace again, but the queen mother just asked the mother to remind the emperor that the rain and dew are evenly wet."
Yan Ruyu raised her eyebrows: "Go on." ”
"The queen has been around for so many years, she has no heirs under her knees, and she is not loved by the emperor, and her mother's family is useless, think about it carefully, even if the queen mother likes the queen before, but the queen has no heirs for so many years, and the queen mother will not treat the queen as before."
"Hmm, that's kind of interesting." Yan Ruyu thought thoughtfully, did the Queen Mother really plan to give up the queen this time?
Didn't the Queen Mother want to pick out an easy-to-handle empress between Concubine Wen and her?
