Chapter 228: Shi Ximo
Previously, the sage hinted that the king of Yanchang and the king of Zhending would turn the fight into a 'jade' silk, but yesterday, although Ximo went to Mukong Cicada, it was Ou Xianniang who was burned in the end.
If it weren't for Ou Xianniang pushing Mu Kong Cicada in time, Mu Kong Cicada's fate would be unimaginable!
So today, the queen and the crown princess called yesterday's proprietor, and they were present to see the whole passing themselves, should they ask again, to check the confessions of others, and then appease Ou Xianniang?
Zhuo Zhaojie's mind was spinning, and then he became suspicious, but if this is the case, what did the queen call Zhuo Fangdian for? Yesterday, Zhuo Fangdian said that she was sick and did not come out of her yard!
While she was thinking, she stepped into the hall with Xu Hainian's steps, and saw that the queen was dressed in a silk bottom cormorant title 'flower' pattern 'handover' collar with narrow sleeves, a treasure belt, a splendid skirt with all the best, a homely bun, light makeup, and a frowning moth eyebrows, the left elbow was supported on the red gold armrest of the phoenix seat, and the right hand was placed on the armrest on the other side at will, looking not very happy.
The crown princess Mu Shi under the queen wore a 'color' Qidi cloud embroidery 'handover' collar with wide sleeves, a 'jade' belt, a green ground folded branch and four seasons 'flower' pattern to stay in the fairy skirt, a silk ginseng and a bun, not many pearls and greens, compared with the last time, the princess's temperament 'color' was obviously paler, combined with the princess who Ning Shaobi said last time, it seemed that her illness had not healed.
These two had heard Xu Hainian say it before entering the hall, but to Zhuo Zhaojie and Zhuo Fangdian, what surprised both Zhuo Zhaojie and Zhuo Fangdian was that about five or six steps away from Danqi, there were people who were still kneeling in a row - from left to right, in order were Su Shi, Shi Ximo, Duchess Shao Guo, Mu Kongciao, and the maid who entered the palace with him.
It's not just these people, Ou Xianniang, who was burned yesterday, is also beside her at the moment, but her treatment is much better than that of Mu and Shilai, but there is an embroidered stool to sit on, and it should be the 'woman' of the Marquis of Dunyuan who accompanied Ou Xianniang into the palace is also sitting on the embroidery stool, just looking at her face, she would rather kneel.
What's going on?
Zhuo Zhaojie is like falling into the five-fold clouds.
Xu Hainian led the aunt and nephew of the Zhuo family to meet the queen and the crown princess, and then quietly retreated to the side, Queen Chunyu looked at her head lightly, and said softly but majestically: "Get up." ”
"Thank you, Queen Mother!" Da Liang was in awe of this queen, Zhuo Zhaojie and Zhuo Fangdian did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and said respectfully.
Queen Chunyu didn't go around in circles, and said straightforwardly: "When you enter the palace and see these three little ladies, you should know why the palace summoned you." ”
Zhuo Fangdian is an aunt, and she should have replied together on behalf of the two, but she didn't 'show up' at the wedding banquet yesterday, so Zhuo Zhaojie waited for a while to see that she was silent, and then said: "The queen mother is 'wanting' to ask about the fourth lady who accidentally knocked over the goose gizzard palm soup yesterday?" ”
"I heard that you were going to pass by from beginning to end." Empress Chunyu glanced at her and said slowly, "However, are you sure you accidentally knocked it over?" ”
The queen obviously had something to say, Zhuo Zhaojie was shocked, and quickly calculated it - yesterday's incident, in fact, it is not big, it is not small, because although it is true that the four families of Shi, Mu, Ou, and Zhuo who were involved in it, three of these four are political enemies of each other, and one is cautious and does not say anything, but in fact, although the matter is dangerous, the consequence is that Ou Xianniang was burned to a piece of skin, and it is not impossible to recover, not to mention that it is a group of little ladies, this kind of thing that belongs to the disposal of the housewife in the backyard happened at the wedding banquet. It is said that they will make amends to each other, and they will compensate Ou Xianniang.
However, all of this is based on the fact that Shi Ximo did "accidentally" knock over the bowl of goose gizzard palm soup, although Zhuo Zhaojie is not familiar with political affairs, but he also knows that Mu Kong Cicada has been counting Shi Caifeng for several years, but it is a recent thing to cry in front of the queen that he was "how" by Shi Caifeng, which is naturally because Mu Kong Cicada knows that before the attitude of the saint is unclear, Shi Huan will never agree to let his grandson marry his own niece and nephew of the crown princess.
And Shi Caifeng is not like Ning Shaobi to Zhuo Zhaojie, he himself does not want to marry Mu Kongciao, or Shi Caifeng himself does not want to marry a 'woman', at least he does not want to marry before he plans to close his heart. If it comes out before that, Shi Huan listens to his grandson's words, and he will definitely try his best to find evidence that Mu Kong Cicada calculated Shi Caifeng, and force the Mu family to control Mu Kong Cicada and cancel the marriage in 'private'.
After all, the so-called Shi Caifeng "lost" Mu Kong Cicada, which was originally the result of Mu Kong Cicada's calculations, and he couldn't help but investigate it carefully, so Mu Kong Cicada had to wait until the Shi family knew that there was fraud in it, but he would still admit the situation of the matter - after all, Mu Kong Cicada's family background and appearance are passable, to be honest, with Shi Caifeng's romantic reputation, Mu Kong Cicada is still a little condescending, although she calculated Shi Caifeng, but also because of her love for Shi Caifeng, since the king of Zhending County won temporarily, of course, Shi Huan can't refute the dignity of the queen mother's family of Zhending County.
Because now that the king of Zhending County has temporarily won is a saint, as long as Shi Wei does not participate in the suppression of the faction of the king of Yanchang County, even if the king of Yanchang wins power in the future, he will not be able to ask the Shi family for this, after all, it is a saint who raises the king of Zhending, and Shi Wei was not a party of the king of Zhending in the past, and he was close to the king of Zhending after the sage expressed his position, which was obedient to the will.
If it weren't for the general trend, where would Mu Kongcicada's not clever calculation succeed?
This time, how similar is this bowl of goose gizzard soup to Mukong Cicada?
The result of the soup bowl overturning is not serious, it can be reversed, originally this matter, like a water 'flower' in the lake, disappeared immediately - as long as everyone acquiesced to Shi Ximo accidentally overturned.
It's like after Mu Kong Cicada cried in front of the queen, the Shi family acquiesced to the fact that Shi Caifeng was rude Mu Kong Cicada in front, and Shi Caifeng's good 'color' was released.' It's not a day or two, and the Shi family has also made compensation, and immediately proposed to the Mu family - the two families are not ordinary people can afford to offend, and now they have married again to wipe the matter, except for chewing their tongues behind their backs, no one dares to say bad things on the scene, and one thing is so lightly exposed.
But now that the queen asked, she obviously didn't want to acquiesce.
Even what the queen wanted to hear was the exact opposite.
Zhuo Zhaojie was surprised, with her current experience, she couldn't guess the queen's fundamental intentions at all, but she knew that it was better not to take responsibility for this kind of ambiguous thing, so she immediately said: "Back to the queen's mother, the courtiers and 'daughters' can't be sure." ”
"Then don't use the word 'careless', just say what you see, whether it is careless or intentional, you have your own palace to judge, you know?" Queen Chun Yu did not 'show' her displeasure, but Zhuo Zhaojie didn't dare to listen to it!
She trembled and said, "Yes! The minister's 'daughter' lost her words before, please forgive me! ”
Empress Chunyu chuckled and said, "Don't be afraid, you just tell yesterday's events as they are, and don't add them to your own speculation." ”
Zhuo Zhaojie settled down, she had already said this matter two or three times from yesterday to now, and she was familiar with it, so she just had to pay attention to removing the words and phrases that were similar to speculation and replacing them with fair wording.
After hearing this, Queen Chunyu said to the next crown princess: "What do you think of Wu Niang? ”
Five is about the ranking of the crown princess when she was in her mother's house, judging from the title of the queen, the queen does like the princess, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are extremely close.
When the crown princess heard this, she sighed slightly and said, "Queen Mother, don't you know what to say?" ”
When Empress Chunyu heard the words of the crown princess, she didn't show her displeasure, but nodded and said, "Since you feel that it is inconvenient to say anything, then this palace will deal with it." ”
"The daughter-in-law is considerate after thanking her mother." The crown princess was busy at the banquet and bowed her body.
Empress Chunyu looked at Zhuo Fangdian again, and said lightly: "Zhuo's, seeing Shi Siniang kneeling here, you still dare to stand?" ”
Zhuo Fangdian was startled, knelt down subconsciously, and said hurriedly: "The minister's 'daughter' doesn't know what Niangniang meant?" ”
Empress Chunyu sneered, put away her arms on the armrests, sat down with a straight face, and said coldly: "It's still not dead?" You don't say it, do you?! ”
Zhuo Fangdian has also entered the palace with the Shen family a few times in the past, but because Queen Chun Yu does not like the steproom, she is one of the very few 'daughters' in the family of the Marquis of Chang'an who has never been seen by Queen Chun Yu, not to mention special questions, originally summoned by the queen today, it made her very frightened, since entering the palace, seeing that the queen is okay with Zhuo Zhaojie, and still wondering if the queen called herself to come, is it to accompany Zhuo Zhaojie?
I don't want to be a sudden change in the situation!
Zhuo Fangdian knelt on the ground, sweating like rain, and almost whimpered: "Niangniang forgive!" The minister's 'daughter' really doesn't know what the mother is talking about?! ”
She was so anxious here, she was also confused, Zhuo Zhaojie was also stunned, it is said that she should always be happy to see that the queen does not like Zhuo Fangdian, especially now that Sifang and Shen's mother and son have completely torn their faces.
But now this is in full view......
His little aunt knelt on the ground and ...... herself To kneel or not to kneel? Moreover, according to the feelings of ordinary people's aunts and nephews, at this moment, is he begging for mercy or not?
Zhuo Zhaojie made a difficulty.
She was hesitating, but Queen Chunyu solved this problem for her, and the queen listened to Zhuo Fangdian's words, and suddenly Fengyan was furious, patted Fengzuo, and said angrily: "I don't know? I don't know! Shi Ximo had already confessed the ins and outs in front of everyone, and the palace people who detained Chen Zirui to confront him had already been sent before you entered the palace! With such ironclad evidence, you dare to deny it! ”
Queen Chunyu was already majestic and prosperous as an ordinary 'girl', she was so angry, the crown princess hurriedly got up and persuaded: "The queen mother is angry, and anger hurts her body!" Now that the evidence is conclusive, since Zhuo doesn't admit it, why not let Shi Niangzi remind her? ”
Zhuo Zhaojie knelt on the ground and said softly: "Please calm the queen's anger!" Then he waited with peace of mind for Shi Ximo to speak—
Shi Ximo knelt in front of the Zhuo family's aunt and nephew, so Zhuo Zhaojie didn't see her expression clearly after entering the hall, and at this moment she heard her open with a crying voice, only to know that she had been crying silently, and her first sentence made Zhuo Zhaojie stunned: "Back to the queen's mother, the courtier's 'daughter' and Ou Xianniang had no grievances in the past, how could they rashly harm her?" This is all Zhuo Erniang's deception of the minister's 'daughter'! ”
