Chapter 227: The Empress Summons Again
"What?!" Everyone who was originally tense was shocked when they heard this!
Shen Shi lost his 'color' and said: "The queen wants to summon Erniang to meet? Why is that? "If it's just Zhuo Zhaojie entering the palace, you can guess that it's either for yesterday's events, or it's related to Ning Shaobi.
But...... Zhuo Fangdian?
Queen Chunyu because she is the Xianping Emperor's Yuan distribution wife, has always regarded the steproom, the 'servant' concubine as a thorn in the eye, if you know who among the courtiers spoils the concubine to kill the wife, it will definitely be for the Yuan match and his son 'daughter' to uphold justice, since this dynasty, because of this queen, even if she no longer likes the Yuan match, no one dares to openly favor the 'servant' concubine, the concubine out of the 'daughter' and the like, is afraid that the queen will know about the seizure.
And the Shen family, the stepfamily, is naturally one of the people that Queen Chun Yu doesn't like, and even Zhuo Fangya and Zhuo Fangdian are also looked down upon by the queen, and they have been seen several times since they were young, and Queen Chun Yu is regarded as nothing, how could he suddenly ask Zhuo Fangdian to enter the palace today?
Even if it was the contradiction between several little ladies yesterday, Zhuo Fangdian was sick early, and he didn't show his face at the whole banquet!
Hearing Shen's question, the people outside hesitated, pushed the 'door' and entered, and hurriedly replied: "I don't know, but now Gonggong Xu has arrived at the front hall to serve tea." ”
"I know, Da Lang, you go with Erlang and Shilang to talk to Father-in-law Xu first, Erniang and Xiao Qiniang always have to change their clothes to enter the palace." Shen squeezed his fists hard and said in a low voice, "You talk to Gonggong Xu about the sake - by the way, take the bird's tongue I have collected here and give it to Gonggong Xu!" ”
Zhuo Fangchun and Zhuo Xiaoli both knew that since it was the queen who was summoned and the surname was Xu, I am afraid that it was Xu Hainian, the deputy head of the inner court who was very trustworthy in front of the queen, and he couldn't be lazy, and he didn't care about saying anything more, so he said yes, and turned to leave, but Zhuo Fangli looked at Shen suspiciously, and said: "Since the eldest brother and the second brother went to greet Father-in-law Xu, I think I should stay here and serve my father." ”
Of course, he saw that the Shen family was taking advantage of the queen's summons to send the articulate Zhuo Zhaojie away with himself, so that only Zhuo Zhaozhen and Zhuo Zhaocui brothers were left, and they were not very good at being weak and snake-tailed, even if the You family could stay to help, but once Zhuo Zhaozhi or Zhuo Zhaocui 'exposed' flaws, the result can be imagined!
And although the You family is 'shrewd', her identity as a daughter-in-law and 'wife' is destined to be far less than what she can do in front of Shen's mother-in-law, Zhuo Fangli, the head of the four rooms, who is present to reassure her two sons.
Zhuo Fangli naturally refused to leave, Shen snorted and said, "Gonggong Xu is the queen's henchman, how can our family neglect him too much?" ”
"Father-in-law Xu is here to pass on the queen's edict, I expected it to come so suddenly, it must be a light car, but our family is rushing up, which makes Father-in-law Xu feel red tape, right?" Zhuo Fangli said lightly, "Besides, my father is like this now, and now Erniang is guarding it, what can she do as a pampered little lady?" In the end, we have to be our sons, but what is the intention of the old lady to prevent me from fulfilling my filial piety and getting close to my father? Could it be that Erniang can serve her father, but we who are sons can't do it? ”
Shen said coldly: "I'm afraid that your father will be even more angry when he sees you after he wakes up!" ”
"Erniang and the fifth brother are the same mother's compatriots, both of them are from the old lady, if the father wakes up and sees the second mother remembering the fifth brother, I am afraid he will be angry." Zhuo Fangli's face sank and said.
Zhuo Fangya said angrily: "My father's current appearance was 'made' in front of the people in your fourth room, don't slander me with empty mouths and white teeth!" ”
"Now Gonggong Xu is waiting in front, mother, fourth brother, fifth brother, in my opinion, let Erniang and Xiao Qiniang go to change clothes first, otherwise it will delay Chenguang, Gonggong Xu doesn't like it, and the queen also thinks that our family is snubbing Feng Zhao." Zhuo Xiaowen never spoke from beginning to end, but now seeing that Shen's mother and son and Sifang actually left Xu's father-in-law in the front yard for Zhuo Fangchun and Zhuo Xiaoli to deal with, and continued to quarrel about the past, he couldn't help frowning and reminded.
Regardless of whether the Shen family or Zhuo Fangli are afraid of the queen after all, when he said this, the two sides did not dare to continue to make trouble, and at the moment Shen said: "Since the two children are going to enter the palace, then you accompany Xiao Qiniang back to the fourth room to change clothes, prepare, remember to move neatly, don't make Gonggong Xu wait for a long time!" ”
You frowned, and subconsciously glanced at Zhuo Fangli, she could see that Shen was not going to take Zhuo Fangli, so she sent herself away by 'sex', after all, she went to the fourth room to come and go, and she had to choose a dress for Zhuo Zhaojie, and she had to tell the 'girl', when she came over, who knew what the situation was here?
Zhuo Fangli thought about it quickly, and felt that it was the second time for the 'girl' to enter the palace, or it was better to let the You family go to the palace in person, so she bowed slightly.
You was about to promise Shen, but he didn't want Zhuo Zhaojie to say: "I also entered the palace once with my grandmother, the queen is amiable, and now I am suddenly summoned to ask something, don't delay, I will go back to Jinghonglou alone to change clothes, and I can go to see Father-in-law Xu, and I don't need to be accompanied by my mother." ”
Shen said coldly: "What do you know?" The queen mother is kind and kind, but you are young and ignorant and have little knowledge, and without your mother's help, I am afraid that you will not even be able to choose a decent dress! In case of recklessness in front of the queen's mother, even our family will have a reputation as a 'girl'! You don't have to worry about getting married, but your six sisters and eight sisters haven't allowed anyone yet, and you don't think about them? ”
After she reprimanded her head and face like this, Zhuo Zhaojie blushed, took a breath, but sneered, and said unhurriedly: "I heard that the queen mother is the most important concubine, my grandmother is my grandfather Yuan's wife, and my mother is the same, I think the queen mother is of course magnanimous to me!" Grandmother was too worried. ”
Before the words fell, Shen's whole person shook!
Zhuo Xiaowen and Zhuo Fangya were both surprised! Shuangshuang stepped forward to support him, called his mother one after another, and helped Shen Shi to sit on the nearby couch, poured tea and water and patted his back to 'rub' his shoulder, Zhuo Fangli snorted coldly, and said to the 'girl': "The old lady just told you to change your clothes quickly, so as not to delay the summons of the queen's mother, why don't you go?" ”
Zhuo Zhaojie saw that her father intended to let herself take advantage of the situation to get out, so she immediately agreed, and only then did she turn around, she heard Zhuo Fangya grab a tea bowl that was empty on the case and slam it to the ground, and smacked the broken porcelain to fly, and he shouted angrily: "Go? You still want to leave your grandmother like this in front of so many elders?! ”
"Why can't my son go?" Zhuo Fangli has always been extremely disgusted with the younger brother and sister of the Shen family, and at this moment, she has been fighting with the Shen family's mother and son, and immediately came out to defend the 'daughter', and said with a sneer, "Isn't it the old lady who wants my son to change clothes quickly?" Why do you want to stop my son from meeting the queen? Do you have such guts?! ”
Zhuo Fangya pointed at Zhuo Zhaojie and gritted his teeth and said: "Then I should go into the palace with me, tell the queen mother what happened today, and ask the queen mother to take a look at your tutor in the fourth room!" ”
"Didn't you hear what my son said?" Zhuo Fangli smiled, "The queen didn't summon you to see you today!" Second, the queen mother is a concubine, do you think the queen must see you and have a child? ”
He said slowly, "Besides, what did my son say wrong?" Isn't the late mother Liang the father's wife? My son's biological mother is not my wife? I wonder why the old lady can't listen to the truth, does the old lady think that she is the wife of the yuan? It's ridiculous! ”
You secretly pushed the 'girl' and said in a low voice: "Go and change your clothes, don't miss the queen's summons!" ”
Zhuo Zhaojie pursed his lips: "Yes!" ”
Out of the upper room, in the courtyard to call the maids other than Gao Qiu, hurriedly returned to Jinghong Building, A Xing greeted her with a sad face, and said: "Lady, I just sent someone to say that I checked all the people in the fourth room, and I have never caught the dough. ”
Zhuo Zhaojie still has the heart to take care of a lion cat now, and said at the moment: "Let's talk about this later, wait for me to change my clothes first, the queen sent someone to ask me and my little aunt to enter the palace immediately to meet me!" ”
Ah Xing was taken aback, and immediately put the dough aside, and said, "Madame didn't accompany the lady, which dress does the lady want to change?" ”
"Take a look at the few new clothes you didn't use yesterday." Zhuo Zhaojie frowned and said, "I guess most of the people who entered the palace this time are going to reply, as long as the attire is not rude." ”
It is also thanks to Zhuo Zhirun's wedding, this day Zhuo Zhaojie is one of the people who entertain the little lady, naturally to prepare several dresses in advance to change, and even some little ladies may not want to borrow one, You made ten sets of summer clothes for the 'daughter' for this wedding, yesterday one day Zhuo Zhao Festival social, before and after four bodies, plus a set of Ding's tea today, the remaining five sets are all new only after the good to try to wear.
Because yesterday's prevention was to be used, these five sets of dresses were placed in a place where they could reach out, so that the 'women' would hold it up for Zhuo Zhaojie to choose in a moment, Zhuo Zhaojie took a casual look, and chose the snow green embroidered swan Yue Luohezi, covered with goose yellow wide-sleeved single valerian embroidered branch begonia 'flower' placket, apricot red dogwood pattern embroidered fairy skirt, chestnut 'color' bottom tulip pattern shawl.
Ah Xing dismantled the bun she had combed when she went out in the morning, hurriedly re-tied her bun, and replaced the hairpin ring that was only used on grand occasions.
In the middle, Ming 'Yin' and Ming Ye also went to change into new clothes, put their hair in a bun, and put on the best jewelry that Zhuo Zhaojie had rewarded in the past - the last time they entered the palace, Zhuo Zhaojie only brought two handmaidens, and in the end they looked like they were hugging in the palace, originally Ah Xing and Ah Li had entered the palace with her, and they should have taken them this time, so as not to have any problems, but Ah Xing and Ah Li have not been tired so far, so that they may not like to enter the palace, and Gao Qiu and Liqiu are not as good as Ming 'Yin' and Ming Ye, Therefore, Zhuo Zhaojie still brought these two ambassadors who served him the longest.
Although Zhuo Zhaojie basically didn't 'spend' effort on choosing dresses and jewelry, but after a lot of tidying up, coupled with the vast area of the Hou Mansion, when he arrived in the front yard, Xu Hainian was already very impatient, after Zhuo Zhaojie arrived, he greeted him, and waited for a while Zhuo Fangdian to arrive, the same new outfit, Xu Hainian had no intention of greeting the pair of aunts and nephews, and hurriedly said to Zhuo Fangchun and Zhuo Xiaoli: "I'm afraid that the queen will wait for a long time and punish our family." So he got up with the dust.
Xu Hai came to bring the palace car, although only one car, but the inside is wide, Zhuo Zhaojie's aunt and nephew two and four envoys 'women' went in but did not feel too crowded, but Xu Hainian thought that they had delayed Chenguang for too long, and urged the coachman to go fast after getting on the horse, and the people along the way recognized the system of the palace car, and did not dare to slack off, and gave way one after another, so they galloped all the way to the palace 'gate', and the six people in the car were extremely bumpy.
But when entering the palace 'door', although it stopped, after going to the vertical street, it was a gallop, until it stopped in front of the Penglai Palace, and Ming Ye, who was closest to the car 'door', was able to land by relying on the small inner 'waiter' who was driving the car outside, and hurriedly helped Zhuo Zhaojie, Xu Hainian had already entered the palace at this time to pray, Zhuo Fangdian also got out of the car, he just came out, urging: "Come in, Niangniang and the princess are waiting!" ”
Why did you get involved with the crown princess?
Zhuo Zhaojie was stunned for a moment, but he vaguely understood, was it for the bowl of goose gizzard soup yesterday?
