158 Yue Hetang Deliberations
In the middle courtyard, which is five miles away from the southwest of the "Qinzheng Palace", there is a splendid ancient building. This is the world-famous "Summer Palace", and it is also the usual place of residence of Prince Chongzhen!
At this time, a chess formation had already been set up on a small square table in the main hall of this palace. Li Yunlong, the concubine of the East Palace, and Prince Chongzhen stared at the chessboard game intently; In the west wing room close to the main hall, Yong Leping, the eldest princess of the East Palace, followed Wang Shuyun and Wang Jinhua to learn embroidery with great interest!
After a moment, she suddenly remembered the scene of yesterday's morning. I couldn't help but say: Mother Wang, although my father and emperor listened to the evidence cited by our mother and sent you into the cold palace. However, we can see that the woman he loves most in the depths of his heart is still you!
Hearing this, Wang Shuyun's hand holding the sewing needle trembled and pierced the index finger under the embroidered bandage. She snorted and pulled out her index finger and sucked the wound twice, before turning to the eighteen-year-old girl opposite and saying: "Eldest princess, everyone in the entire palace knows that the emperor's favorite woman is your queen mother. Early in the morning, why would you make such a joke?
Facing her gaze, Yong Leping said calmly: Mother Wang, there is no one else here. Don't be nervous, just let me tell you more!
As she spoke, she suddenly lowered her voice and said: I don't usually know how to embroider, and I like to go to my father's "imperial study" to read "Palace History Books" in my spare time. This book records that the sons of heaven in all dynasties would "give poisonous wine or white silk" to concubines who had been in the cold palace for three or five years. But you stayed in the cold palace and were "safe and sound" all the time!
Hearing this, Wang Jinhua couldn't help but interject: Mother Wang, when you snatched the "Crane Top Red" from the hands of Gonggong Li, the chief eunuch in the "Qinzheng Palace", yesterday and put it in your mouth. Immediately, we heard our father shouting, "Come on, quickly take down the crane top red in her hand." Obviously, Sister Leping is right. My father's heart really loves you the most!
As soon as her words landed, Wang Shuyun hurriedly said: Princess Zhongyi, eldest princess, the emperor has never "given me poisonous wine or white silk". must be reluctant to let his son Chongzhen lose his mother! At present, Chongxi, the second prince of the East Palace, died for the two masters, and it is an eventful time in the palace. You two should stop thinking nonsense, and you must not say the words that you don't know the depth of the words just now. So as not to add new trouble to the emperor and me!
Speaking of this, she frowned unconsciously and said: Eldest princess, princess Zhongyi, there is a strange thing today. In the past, Empress Hua always instructed Mama Li to go to the cold palace early in the morning to preach me. Usually you have to train me a stick of incense! Hey, the sky outside is gradually turning white and shining. Why haven't you seen Mama Li come here to pass on me?
These words stimulated Yong Leping's cheeks to suddenly rise a layer of redness. It's as red as two "ripe persimmons"!
Seeing this, Wang Shuyun immediately realized that what she had just said was inappropriate. She hurriedly took the other party's hand and said with a smile: Le Ping'er, the person in this world who is not friendly to me. It's today's Queen Hua, not you! We're just talking about it, and we don't want to blame anyone. Don't think about it!
At this time, the sound of "pop, snap" running quickly came. Two palace maids rushed in and exclaimed: Queen Wang, Prince, we just saw a strange phenomenon. Those talented people and nobles just entered the arc-shaped round hole on the east side of the "Changle Palace", and the two deputies guarding there didn't know why they pulled the iron door?
Immediately, Wang Shuyun turned to the two girls in front of her and said: Princess Zhongyi, eldest princess, we just said that the palace is now an eventful time. Right?
As she spoke, she suddenly turned to the two palace maids and said: Now, we are a "deposed queen". On the day we first came to the "Summer Palace", we asked you and your family to call me "aunt"! Why did you two forget it again?
The two palace maids hurriedly nodded their heads like "chickens pecking rice", but their mouths were not willing to be idle: Auntie, do you understand why the emperor sent someone to guard the arc-shaped round hole on the east side of the "Changle Palace". What about the people who get in there?
At the same time, Chongzhen and Li Yunlong, who were playing on the chessboard, were also so shocked that they put down their chess and walked in. The two women immediately dropped the work in their hands, stood up and grabbed their hands, and couldn't wait to say: Let's enter the cold palace without permission against the will of the queen mother and bring out Wang Changmu, her heart has been greatly hurt. Now, the emperor has sent people to keep an eye on the people who enter the "Changle Palace". Her mood must be even more miserable now!
Before they could wait for the two men's reply, their tone suddenly changed to urgency: the prince, the concubine, those nobles and talented people entered the "Changle Palace". It must be the same as ever to "say hello" to the queen mother! Do you two know why the emperor sent someone to keep an eye on the people who entered the "Changle Palace"? Is there a way to help the queen mother?
Wang Shuyun couldn't help but throw away the embroidery needle and bandage, stood up and paced with her hands in front of her chest. She unconsciously frowned and fell into deep thought, and the few young people around her seemed to be non-existent all of a sudden!
Prince Chongzhen and Li Yunlong, the concubine of the East Palace, seemed to have made an appointment, and threw out the puzzled questions in their hearts together: Princess Zhongyi, the eldest princess, and Queen Hua are the emperor's favorite women. The most important point is that her two brothers who possess evil arts have been sticking to my western border with their deputies and soldiers for many years! We really can't think of it, why did he send people to stare at the people who entered the "Changle Palace" today?
Speaking of this, the two of them said in unison: Now, let's go to the "Qinzheng Palace" to ask the emperor. The two of you hurriedly went to the "Changle Palace" to say good things to the two deputies, and begged them not to embarrass Queen Hua!
The words popped out, and the two men ran hand in hand to the door of the "Summer Palace". At the same time, Yong Leping also pulled Wang Jinhua to follow in their footsteps!
Suddenly, Wang Shuyun shouted: Children, you all come back for me. I thought about why the emperor sent people to keep an eye on the people who entered the "Changle Palace" today!
Hearing this, Prince Chongzhen couldn't help but stop. The other three young people immediately turned around and ran in front of her, and said anxiously: "Mother Wang, our hearts are so anxious at this time that we are "chaotic". Please, hurry up and clear the mystery for us!
As soon as their words landed, Wang Shuyun turned to the two palace maids beside him and said: Let's talk to the children, please go outside and stare at the people passing by. Don't let anyone in at this point!
Of course, the two palace maids knew very well: the words of the former queen were that they didn't want them to stay in the "Summer Palace" to "listen to things". The reason why she said this was because she was afraid that their mouths would be "unreliable". Leak the information you hear and cause her irreparable trouble!
Next, the two of them held hands and turned around and walked out of the "Summer Palace" without hesitation. According to the old master's instructions, standing outside the door plays the role of "looking out for the wind"!
At this time, Wang Shuyun continued to say things: Children, you all pricked up your ears and heard clearly. The emperor sent people to keep an eye on the people who entered the "Changle Palace" today, but he understood that these people heard the message that "Chongxi, the second prince of the East Palace, crashed to death on the cement pillar in front of the "Heavenly Prison". And he has leaked this extremely bad information to Queen Hua!
Hearing this, Yong Leping was puzzled and said: Mother Wang, the person who entered the "Changle Palace" to greet my queen mother right now. In addition to me and my eldest brother Chongxi, it is the three thousand beauties of the harem! They're all daughters, even if you guessed it right. The queen mother is a woman like them, so what can she do to make a crime? In my opinion, my father should not send someone to keep an eye on the queen mother and them!
Wang Shuyun shook her head and said: "Eldest princess, your queen mother and the three thousand beauties of the harem are all daughters. It's really not a good offense! However, both of your uncles possess "invincible" sorcery. Of course, your father was extremely afraid of the people who entered the "Changle Palace", so he released the news that your second brother Chongxi had died on the cement pillar in front of the "Heavenly Prison" and sent it to the two of them. directly caused his country to be no longer stable from now on!
Prince Chongzhen, who had been standing in place without saying a word, finally turned around and walked over. He smiled bitterly and said, "Mother, it seems that you have guessed everything. I'm a nineteen-year-old man now, and I didn't even think of the reason for today's incident. It really makes you laugh!
Wang Shuyun hugged him distressedly and said with a smile: Child, those who don't know are not ignorant. What's so ridiculous? Besides, you are the meat that was left on your mother's body. How can my mother laugh at you!
At this moment, Yong Leping's heart immediately "poofed" and beat wildly. Her cheeks turned pale all of a sudden, and she couldn't help but say nervously: Mother Wang, we also know that my father is extremely afraid of my two uncles. Do you think he will be angry with our queen mother and send her into the cold?
Wang Shuyun shook her head like a "rattle in the hands of a merchant", and her mouth moved quickly at the same time: Eldest princess, since the emperor has sent someone to keep an eye on the people who entered the "Changle Palace". Of course, you will understand that your mother can't do anything like them, so why bother dealing with her again? You just relax and do what you need to do!
This remark made Yong Leping's heart beat wildly. Finally calm back!
Prince Chongzhen, Li Yunlong, the concubine of the East Palace, and Wang Jinhua, the princess of Zhongyi, were also worried about the safety of Queen Hua. At this moment, the faces of the three of them also looked softer!
At this moment, everyone in the "Summer Palace" is "dreaming of a thousand and one nights". I definitely wouldn't have thought that today, Wang Shuyun only guessed half right!
Because, they are all kind-hearted people. When thinking about things, of course, it will only "turn big things into small things, and small things into nothing". I will never expand something to a more complex level!
