Chapter 229: The Empress is Overzealous
Bai Mujian walked all the way, thinking about what purpose the queen had for finding herself. His behavior today has indeed caused quite a stir, and I am afraid that everyone in the capital should know the deeds of the county lord of Anping.
The queen's news will naturally not be blocked, otherwise she will not be able to keep her position for long, since she knows that her resentment with the palace of Chu County is getting deeper and deeper, is she looking for herself to beat, or to show goodwill?
Because the emperor announced that she entered the palace and did not allow anyone to be brought with her, even Mama Rui could only guard outside the palace, and she could only face the queen's unclear summons alone.
In front of the Jiaofang Palace, Yeyu made a gesture of invitation, Bai Mu Hibiscus stepped forward and stepped into the hall, the queen had already sat upright, Bai Mu Hibiscus bowed his knees, and said: "The minister to the queen mother, the queen is happy to be young!" ”
The queen mother hurriedly raised her hand, and said with a soft smile in her voice: "The county lord is exempt, give me a seat!" ”
After Bai Mu Hibiscus thanked her, she sat aside, waiting for the queen's question, she looked at the queen's face, she should not have come to speak for the Chu County Palace, but the too gentle smile still made Bai Mu Hibiscus guarded.
The queen looked at her for a moment before saying, "Is the wound on this head better?" Ay...... The palace heard that the people in the Chu County Mansion were too much! ”
In a word, Bai Mujian understood that the queen and the Chu County Mansion were not people on the same road, and yes, in the end, the Chu County Mansion was one of the great heroes who assisted the six princes to ascend the throne, so how could they wear the same pants as the queen?
Bai Mujin smiled cautiously before shaking his head and said, "It's not in the way, in fact, it's also because the minister himself accidentally collided with the princess of the county!" ”
"But this palace heard that the injury on your head was already there before you went to the Chu County Palace, what happened?" The Empress asked with concern.
Bai Mujin was not much surprised, and only said in a proper manner: "The minister accidentally hit his head in the mansion!" ”
These words caused some doubts in the queen's eyes, Bai Mujian is not like such a careless person, although the Ningguo Mansion is not heavily guarded, but in the years since the death of the old Guogong, no one has the time to stare at the Guogong Mansion that has become "unmanned".
So she didn't know how Bai Mujian was injured, so the suspicion was just suspicion, and there was nothing she could do if people didn't say it, but this was not the focus of her concern.
The queen nodded and said, "Then the Japanese Palace didn't help you in Changchun Garden, have you ever blamed the palace?" ”
"How dare you, the minister knows that the queen mother is in trouble, not to mention that the Feng Shizi brothers and sisters are domineering and arrogant, and they are even unscrupulous in front of the queen mother, the minister will only feel indignant for the queen mother, and there is no resentment at all!" Bai Mu Hibiscus looked at the queen and said sincerely.
The queen looked at Bai Mu Hibiscus and found that there was not the slightest hypocrisy in her eyes, so she smiled slightly and said, "It's good that you can understand this, hey...... Don't be afraid to say a considerate word to the county lord, because the Chu County Mansion is supported by someone in the back, the palace sometimes has to avoid its edge! ”
Bai Mujin looked at the queen's not very embarrassed appearance, and didn't know what she meant, so she had to say: "The king of Chu County has meritorious service to the country, and the queen should be sympathetic to her ministers, and the ministers are not targeting the king of Chu County, but just hoping to get justice for themselves!" ”
The queen took a sip of tea, sighed, and said: "This palace understands, but you should also understand that you have already made a hornet's nest, Princess Chujun is the daughter of the queen mother's niece, and Chen Guifei is a friend of Jinlan, although you have the support of Mrs. Lu, they dare not move you openly, but it doesn't mean that you can't think of other ways, you won't be able to live in peace in the future!" ”
Bai Mujian only understood the queen's intentions at this time, this is to sow discord, the discord between the queen and Chen Guifei is no secret, as for the queen mother, there have always been some contradictions between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law since ancient times, not to mention ...... Back then, the Queen Mother was the queen mother, but she was the queen!
The queen wants to pull herself onto her boat, and even wants to pull the Lu family onto her boat through her, this is a big deal!
Bai Mujian is willing to be in the limelight, just to add weight to herself, but it does not mean that she is stupid enough to think that she can participate in this kind of war between imperial power and rear position. For her, who knows what the future holds, it is even more impossible for her to get on the queen's ship.
Bai Mujin showed a slightly distressed expression, and said: "Thank you for the queen's concern, the minister didn't care much at that time, just to keep his innocence and reputation, he had to fight to the death!" ”
"What about the future, have you thought about it?" The queen is kind and seductive.
Bai Mujin shook his head blankly, and said helplessly: "In the future, the minister really hasn't thought about it, and he can't think about it, he can only say that the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, if they really can't avoid it, they will just give them this life!" ”
The queen didn't expect Bai Mu Hibiscus to give herself such an answer, in her opinion, Bai Mu Hibiscus was able to win this game, not only because of Mrs. Lu, not to mention today's move, it doesn't seem like an unintentional stroke.
How can such a smart person do things without thinking about the consequences and blindly close his eyes and go on a rampage? She could only guess that Bai Hibiscus deliberately talked to herself.
"County Lord, don't tell lies in front of real people, after offending the Chu County Palace, not only did you not suffer the slightest damage, but became the county lord in one fell swoop, do you want to tell this palace that you are just lucky?" The queen smiled knowingly, don't joke with me.
Bai Muhibiscus looked sincere, and said: "The queen's mother is too high to think of the ministers, the ministers can not be damaged at all and are named the county lord, they are all protected by the grandmother, the queen should understand better than the ministers, the grandmother's influence on the emperor!" ”
On the surface, it seems that this is indeed the case, and no one would think that with Bai Hibiscus alone, he can shake the Chu County Palace, but only Bai Mu Hibiscus himself knows what the truth is.
If Mrs. Lu doesn't come forward, the Chu County Mansion will only be more unlucky, the difference is that she will suffer some hardships herself, as for the county lord...... She never thought about it, but since there could be such a good thing, naturally she would not refuse!
The queen snorted from her nose, as if she was a little dissatisfied, and continued: "It seems that the county lord does not trust this palace, or the county lord does not intend to trust this palace, the eyes of this palace are not blind, Mrs. Lu has indeed played a great role, but you have gained such a great benefit in the queen mother's palace, if you don't have some ability, I'm afraid it will not be easy!" ”
Who is the Queen Mother, the emperor's biological mother. Mrs. Lu is indeed kind to the emperor and has a lot of influence, but if the queen mother insists on getting along with Mrs. Lu, the emperor will naturally have to give way, and it is not easy to make Feng Zihan kneel!
Bai Mujian was a little helpless in her heart, the queen was so detergent, it seemed that she was unwilling to let her go easily, but she couldn't refuse it openly, otherwise she would offend the queen again.
She thought for a while before she said: "The minister doesn't dare to be disrespectful to the queen, but even if the minister has been named the county lord now, he is just a weak woman, and he can't be used, and he just wants to get the word peace!" The emperor summoned the ministers, probably hoping that the ministers would not provoke right and wrong, and be a county lord in peace! ”
The queen's eyes rolled, it seemed that the emperor called Bai Hibiscus over, not just for the morning, he also knew that Bai Hibiscus would become the object of competition for all forces after this, and reminded Bai Hibiscus in advance to settle down?
In this way, it is difficult for her to make her words clear, otherwise the emperor will investigate it, and she will not be able to explain, the emperor does not want Bai Mujian to become a person of any force.
The queen thought for a while, then smiled and said: "It seems that the emperor has already made arrangements, since the county lord can be blessed by the emperor, he is naturally not afraid of the open guns and hidden arrows of the Chu County Palace, it is the palace that is too worried!" ”
Bai Mujin secretly breathed a sigh of relief and complimented: "Thank you for the queen's pity, and the ministers feel guilty!" Although the minister is dull and useless, if the queen needs the minister in the future, the minister must do his best, if there is really nothing to do, then he is willing to accompany the mother to say a few intimate words, a little relief from worries! ”
The queen mother was overjoyed when she heard this, it seems that this white hibiscus is not stubborn, but quite clever. In this way, she will be at ease, and the most important thing is that Bai Mu Hibiscus can't go to the same place with Chen Guifei!
"Well, the county lord can have this heart, the palace is very happy, you finally entered the palace for a trip, stay and accompany the palace for lunch today!" The queen smiled happily.
Bai Muhibiscus naturally didn't dare to refuse, so he could only thank him: "Thank you for your grace, it's an honor!" ”
Because of Bai Hibiscus's knowledge, and she knows how to coax people very well, she makes this lunch enjoyable, and the queen mother has a better impression of Bai Hibiscus. She only has one son, and she often travels abroad, so she can't always be around, and the emperor can't be with her every day, in fact, she is very lonely.
Bai Hibiscus has a sweet mouth and is willing to coax her, but he is not obedient and sycophant on the surface for some purposes like others, and he doesn't know how to calculate her in his heart. So it makes her feel more cordial and comfortable.
"County Lord, you are eating here today, the mother is happy, and she actually ate more! In the future, you can go to the palace to dine with our mother! Wan Bing said with a smile.
The queen mother also smiled with crooked eyebrows, and said: "Jin'er is a person with a crystal heart, a small mouth is sweeter than smeared with honey, so coaxed that I can't even find the north!" ”
Bai Mu Hibiscus raised her eyebrows slightly, and asked suspiciously, "Aunt Wanbing, has Niangniang wronged me?" How have I ever coaxed my mother, it's just telling the truth, clumsy, where can I coax people, thanks to my mother's generosity, I feel sorry for me, and if someone else wants to blame me for saying the wrong thing, punish me! ”
The queen and Wan Bing both laughed when they heard this, and the queen said: "I thought you were a stable person before, but I didn't know that in private you were like a leather monkey, a ghost!" ”
"That's also the mother's kindness, just let the minister mess around, in front of other nobles, the minister doesn't dare to make a mistake!" Bai Mu Hibiscus smiled and squinted.
The queen pretended to be angry and said, "Then you are deceiving the palace and being good-natured?" ”
"How dare you dare, the minister just thinks that the queen is as affectionate as her own parents, so she dares to face the mother with her true temperament!" Bai Hibiscus stuck out her tongue, looking a little embarrassed.
