Chapter 189: The Queen Mother summons
"I ......"
Chang Lingyan's red lips opened lightly, he wanted to speak and stopped, and he wanted to cry, and every subtle frown was just right. Even Yuehua saw this appearance, and her heart couldn't help but soften.
Mo Guhan didn't look at it, and finally lost his patience, and said coldly: "Are you waiting for me to do it?" ”
The tears in Chang Lingyan's eyes finally crackled, and he bit his delicate lower lip, and said tremblingly: "The slave and maid retreat." ”
Reluctantly went out, turning back three times in one step, his face full of grief and sadness.
The palace people of Qingqiu Palace immediately "bang" and closed the door impatiently.
Mo Guhan lowered his head and said unhappily: "I don't want to see her in the Qingqiu Palace in the future, it's like a lingering fly." Chang Lehou is still upright, how can he raise such a shameless daughter? ”
Yuehua also felt a little aggrieved, and nodded: "The concubine obeys orders." ”
The incense on the side wanted to speak and stopped, wanting to defend Yuehua, but he didn't dare to intervene.
"How powerful did you look in front of me? I was so angry that I couldn't swallow me alive, why couldn't I help her little Chang Lingyan? ”
"She said that she was on the orders of the Empress Dowager." Yuehua whispered.
Mo Guhan was silent for a moment, as if he was thinking about something, and then waved his hand back to Xiangshen and the other palace people, pulled Yuehua to sit down, and said solemnly: "You don't dare to disobey the order of the Empress Dowager, don't you?" ”
Yuehua was silent. It's a question she can't answer.
"If, one day, I disobey the Empress Dowager and annoy her, what will you do?"
When Mo Guhan asked her this, she was solemn, and her burning eyes kept staring at Yuehua, and the clouds in her eyes were cloudy, implying expectation.
Yuehua's heart sank, she knew that Mo Guhan was not unintentionally ridiculing, this day would come sooner or later, but sooner or later, she would have no escape.
The Chang family is like a piece of carrion in the Chang'an Dynasty, if Mo Guhan wants to unify the Chang'an Dynasty, the Chang family will definitely not be able to stay.
Yuehua knew about this matter from before entering the palace. The Empress Dowager gave the Chang family three generations of prosperity, and when she was dying of old age and was unable to do so, she wanted to hand over this burden to the next generation, but she only fell in love with Chu Yuehua.
Chang Zhili's vein has fallen, the emperor acted resolutely, closed the case with lightning speed, and because of the false transmission of Yizhi, the queen mother was caught off guard, and she wanted to make a move.
The Queen Mother fell in love with Li's stupidity, and Li Ji often participated in buying and selling officials, and the evidence was conclusive. Although in the end, she survived and escaped under the protection of Mo Guhan's wit, the Queen Mother succeeded in separating her relationship with the Chang family.
Everyone in the court knows that the Empress Dowager announced that Chang Lingyan intended to replace her, and now the queen is reborn in a desperate situation, turning defeat into victory, and the Chang family is already against each other.
Chu Yuehua does not have too deep feelings for the Chang family, and she also feels that the rise and fall of the Chang family has nothing to do with her. However, when one day, the Chang family is really crumbling in the wind and rain, and Chang Lehou begged to come to him, can he still remain indifferent and stand by?
She hesitated slightly, and was looked at by Mo Guhan, and her eyes couldn't help but darken.
Yuehua smiled far-fetched: "Follow your father at home, follow your husband after marriage, the emperor is Yuehua's day." Even if one day, Yuehua may be very difficult, but the result of the choice is the same. ”
"Will you hate me?"
"Husband and wife are originally one, the emperor is the king of the people of Chang'an, Yuehua is the queen of Chang'an, for Chang'an, for this splendid country, no matter what the emperor does, it naturally makes sense. If one day, Yuehua becomes a burden to you, you don't have to worry about Yuehua, do what you want to do, Yuehua will never complain. ”
Mo Guhan suddenly felt a little distressed, took Yuehua into his arms, and whispered, "How can I be willing to embarrass you?" ”
Yuehua smiled forcefully, but in his arms, he clearly smelled the smell of mountain rain coming and the wind filling the building.
On the second day, Mo Guhan went out of the palace after the morning court, saying that he was going to inspect the embankment project, accompanied by Han Yuchu, the champion of the new department.
After breakfast, Chang Lingyan still arrived on time, which made the palace people in Qingqiu Palace a little helpless.
Chang Lingyan often called and drank at them, which made the palace people extremely disgusted, and whispered behind their backs. Therefore, as soon as Chang Lingyan came, everyone pouted their lips with disdain, and no one stepped forward to deal with them, and they dispersed one after another.
Yuehua also felt incredible, Chang Lingyan was reprimanded by Mo Guhan mercilessly yesterday, how could he still be cheeky and set foot here again?
Chang Lingyan walked in proudly, walked straight to Yuehua, looked at her condescendingly, and said very arrogantly: "These subordinates in your palace should be disciplined and disciplined, and they should learn the rules." Don't you know how to salute when you see me? ”
Xiangshen on the side whispered: "Which green onion and which garlic are you?" ”
The voice was not loud or small, but Chang Lingyan could hear it enough, and he immediately raised his eyebrows.
Yuehua was worried that Xiangshen would suffer, so she sneered: "May I ask which palace master are you?" What gifts should my people give you? ”
Chang Lingyan was bored with himself, and was speechless when he was refuted.
"If there is really such an arrogant master, what kind of slave will there be."
Yuehua raised her face slightly: "My people naturally have arrogant capital, don't worry about you." Moreover, I don't welcome you in Qingqiu Palace, so I don't need to come here every day to be boring. ”
Chang Lingyan was teased again and again, but he didn't care at all, and smiled proudly: "The Empress Dowager asked me to summon you." ”
Yuehua was stunned for a moment, and from Chang Lingyan's tone, she instinctively smelled a little ominous.
Mo Guhan once said that the Empress Dowager wanted Chang Lingyan to move into the Qingqiu Palace, but he refused because he was grounded. Now that the ban has been lifted, Chang Lingyan touched a nail from herself yesterday, and it is difficult to guarantee that she will not add fuel and vinegar to the Queen Mother when she goes back, it seems that her old man is going to reprimand herself for being angry.
In the eyes of outsiders, the Empress Dowager is very protective of Yuehua, and she is also very affectionate, only Yuehua herself knows that every time she goes to Ci'an Palace, she will be reprimanded by her, and even punished to kneel, but there are no happy memories.
She stood up, put down the work in her hand, tidied up her dress, and said indifferently, "Let's go." ”
Yuehua was dressed very frugally, and she only had a purple hosta given to her by Mo Guhan on her head, which was not as flamboyant as the palace maid.
Chang Lingyan pouted disdainfully: "If you are blessed, you won't enjoy it, and you will be poor and sour at first glance." ”
Yuehua was too lazy to compete with her for a long time, but the incense on the side couldn't hold her breath, and said coldly: "It turns out that the queen of the Chang'an Dynasty is actually poor and sour, which is unheard of." ”
Chang Lingyan was a little annoyed and angry. She supported herself with the Empress Dowager, and did not take Yuehua as the queen in her eyes, but Yuehua was indeed more noble than her, this is a fact.
She glanced at the purple hosta on Yuehua's head, and her eyes were full of disdain: "If you don't wear a gorse hairpin, you will have a shabby hosta, which is not as good as a village woman." ”
Xiangshen is even more inch-refusal: "My mother's hosta is carved by the emperor himself, a priceless treasure, and others can't ask for it." ”
This sentence immediately seized the upper hand, Chang Lingyan was speechless, staring at the purple hosta, his eyes were full of resentment, and almost spewed out raging flames.
Yuehua turned her head and glared at Xiangshen, signaling that she didn't want to waste her lips and tongue with Chang Lingyan and provoke a grudge against herself. Xiang Shen immediately shut up unwillingly.
Yuehua walked in front first, Chang Lingyan followed behind, neither of them was hypocritical and polite, and they didn't say anything all the way.
In Ci'an Palace, sandalwood is swirling and crows are silent.
The Empress Dowager sat cross-legged on the Luohan couch, holding a string of red sandalwood beads in her hand, and playing with it lightly. When he saw Yuehua coming in, he just teased his eyelids. said coldly: "If you want to see the queen, it's not easy now." ”
Yuehua respectfully knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Yuehua listens to the teachings of the Empress Dowager at any time and is on call." ”
The back of the empress dowager sank like water, but raised her eyebrows slightly: "You are different from the past, the emperor is fresh, baby your tight." I want to see you, but the emperor is still reluctant. ”
"The Empress Dowager likes to be pure, except for the fifteenth day of the new year, Yuehua came to greet you on the fifteenth day of the new year, and she didn't dare to disturb her at other times. If the Empress Dowager doesn't think Yuehua is dull, Yuehua is willing to come and serve you often. ”
The Empress Dowager sighed faintly: "The mourning family has Mama Lin as a companion here, but it's not boring." It's just the queen alone, and in this crisis-ridden Forbidden City, she is inevitably a little lonely. ”
Yuehua's heart sank, and she finally came.
She said quietly: "Thank you Empress Dowager for your concern, thanks to the emperor's grace, Yuehua feels that everything is fine." ”
The Empress Dowager saw that Yuehua was going around with her, turning left and right, deliberately not mentioning Chang Lingyan, and felt a little unhappy in her heart.
Chang Lingyan took the opportunity to walk up to her, rubbed his shoulders, and was courteous.
"The emperor loves you the best, that is the glory of our Chang family. It's just that the emperor has been forgetting to sleep and eat these days, and he doesn't know what he's busy with, so you, as the queen, have to worry more. ”
"Now that the flood season is about to begin, the emperor said that the embankments in many places in Chang'an are in disrepair, lest they are not strong enough, so they have been bothering recently, and have been discussing with Lord Shao and Lord Han about building embankments and channeling." Yuehua said truthfully.
"But how did the mourning family hear that Chu Mubai also discussed with him in the imperial study, what did he do before and after the saddle?"
The Empress Dowager was still unwilling to be tempted.
Yuehua replied without thinking: "The emperor said that it is the time when spring ploughing is busy, and it is not easy to gather the people to build the embankment, and the construction of the embankment near the capital is better to be done by the Taiping army, who are young and strong, and have nothing to do except practice." ”
The Empress Dowager nodded: "The emperor doesn't hide things from you in the court?" ”
Yuehua shook his head: "The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, Yuehua has always adhered to her duty. It's just that when the emperor is tired, he occasionally complains, and Yuehua takes it to heart. ”
The Empress Dowager lifted her eyelids and stared at Yuehua for a long time, her face uncertain.
