Chapter 157: Unwilling

And Yuwen Chu is deeper than serious? Where would she be his opponent? It's better to pretend to be coquettish, pretend not to understand the eyes, pretend to be rude and willful, and you can also test where his bottom line is, which is more relaxed.

At least today she had done two thingsβ€”to drive out Daylilies and proclaim her authority as mistress in the palace; By pretending to be stupid and pretending to be crazy, she showed Yu Wenchu her attitude of not allowing Jiang Shanshan to enter the door. A virtuous and virtuous person like Jiang Shanshan can't do such a direct thing, can't say such unreasonable things, and I don't know how many brains it takes to achieve the goal. People who love to cry, laugh and make trouble, who will guard her against everything? Be happy and not aggrieved. What's more, she instinctively felt that if she directly said what she was unhappy about, Yu Wenchu seemed to be a little more acceptable.

"I'm so tired, it's so heartbreaking." Mingzhu sighed, turned over, and slept in the dark after a while.

Is this called heartbreaking? It's clear that you can live as you like, pull your face if you're not happy, laugh when you're happy, eat when you want, sleep when you want, what else? Su Lan and Su Jin looked at each other, looked at each other for a while, and had to withdraw to perform their duties.

The sound of rain outside the window was drenched, and the autumn cold dyed through the curtains of Changxin Palace with the humidity. The Empress Dowager held a cup of hot tea, lowered her eyes and looked at Jiang Shanshan who was kneeling in front of her, and said lightly: "I wronged you before, and now I want to compensate you and let you be the side concubine of the King of England, are you willing?" ”

How can it be so cheap? Even if there were, it wasn't so fast; Even if there is, it shouldn't be what you ask for, but under the operation of Empress Dowager Min and Concubine Min and others, you have to obey; Otherwise, if you openly covet the food in other people's bowls, isn't it looking for death? Jiang Shanshan knelt down in front of the Empress Dowager, and she didn't even dare to come out.

She heard her voice weak and trembled: "Back to the Empress Dowager's words, the courtiers are unwilling. "It's not pretending, but I really can't support it, coming out of Concubine Min, she was summoned here, the Queen Mother has been lying on the couch to sleep, no matter how long she has been kneeling on the ground, the hateful palace people didn't even give her a thin cushion, and now her legs are numb to the point of tingling. This is the Queen Mother's silent pressure and warning, she is not stupid, this time she is kneeling, next time it may be something else.

The Empress Dowager looked at the woman in front of her expressionlessly, she was young and jade, her demeanor was outstanding, she was moving, she was noble, she was in and out of order, she was interesting and smart. Regardless of appearance, just in terms of fame and intelligence, it is as far as a few streets away from the pearl. But in her eyes, Jiang Shanshan is naturally more likable than Mingzhu, for no other reason, just because Jiang Shanshan is not her own niece and nephew, and she has not grown up in front of her since she was a child, so she will never be more important than Mingzhu.

"Why? Isn't your refusal to be the concubine of King Anyang because of your unforgettable love for King Ying? The Empress Dowager took a sip of tea and showed no mercy: "This palace doesn't like duplicity." I already know about the bracelet, and I tell you that your tricks are not enough in front of me! ”

Fighting wits and courage with such a person is to burn with life, but Jiang Shanshan just likes this feeling of dancing on the tip of a knife, and prefers the dripping feeling after defeating such a powerful person, she said in fear: "If you go back to Niangniang, the courtiers don't dare." The words spoken by the courtiers were sincere, and today's events were completely accidental. ”

"Bengong was also young, and I played too much with a little trick like yours." The Empress Dowager sneered, got up and walked up to her, pinched her chin, lifted it up fiercely, her sharp nails dug deep into her cheeks, stared at her eyes and said in a deep voice: "If you lose a good family business, this palace will compensate you for a good family business." Why did you refuse? ”

Jiang Shanshan took a deep breath of pain and said: "If you want to say that the courtiers are completely forgetful of His Royal Highness, don't say that the mother doesn't believe it, even the courtiers can't deceive themselves." After all...... After all, ......" she choked up and trembled: "After all, after so many years of marriage, all of a sudden, like this, any normal person will be uncomfortable and painful." The courtiers are not exempt from vulgarity and can't let go. ”

The Empress Dowager was a little interested: "So you rejected King Anyang, and then listened to the words of the Empress Dowager of Zhaoyang Palace, and entered the palace to see Concubine Min?" ”

"No, sis!" Jiang Shanshan kowtowed a few times, and her intuition was about to be concussed, before she said in a deep voice: "Niang Niang Mingjian!" The reason why the courtiers rejected King Anyang was indeed selfish, but not for this. Imagine, if the courtiers really responded to the king of Anyang, how should the brothers of the king of Anyang and the king of England deal with themselves in the future? If the king of Anyang loves his courtiers, he will inevitably complain about his courtiers, and if he doesn't love his courtiers, he will be disgusted by this, and he will be angry with the British king. Even the person who contributed to this family affair in the first place must have some resentment. At that time, was it not the fault of the courtiers? The reason why I don't want to be a side concubine is because the courtiers also have their own pride. ”

Anyway, King Anyang was disgusted by the Empress Dowager because of her collusion with the female officials around the Empress Dowager last time, so she borrowed him as a stepping stone and stepped on it. Jiang Shanshan said this impassionedly, and then lowered her voice and said, "As for the Empress Dowager of Zhaoyang Palace...... She is the mother of the present, and she lets her courtiers die, and her courtiers can only die. ”

The Empress Dowager pondered for a moment and said, "You seem to be very reasonable. It's that the palace didn't think about it before. He smiled and said with a pleasant face: "Since the king of Anyang is not proper, then the palace will pick another good family for you, the new champion is very good, and you are a good match." ”

Why are you pointing fingers at me? Jiang Shanshan couldn't wait to jump up and point at the Empress Dowager and scold, and then twist the Empress Dowager's neck. But who is she? She is Jiang Shanshan. How many ups and downs has she experienced along the way? No one could stop her. One day, she will trample them all under her feet. Jiang Shanshan bowed to the ground respectfully and said loudly: "I wish it would be arranged by Niangniang." ”

Seeing that she responded so happily, the Empress Dowager was quite surprised, and after a moment of silence, she gently put the tea bowl on a few cases, indicating that the meeting was over.

Jiang Shanshan limped out.

Aunt Mu sighed: "I didn't expect her to respond to this family affair so easily." ”

The Empress Dowager disagreed: "I won't know until the end whether I really responded." Zhaoyang Palace is eyeing it, but I'm afraid it's not so easy. Is there any movement on Concubine Min's side? ”

Aunt Mu said, "No." ”

The Empress Dowager said lightly: "She is quieter than before, in the end, she is disgusted." But it's also normal, when I became sisters with her, it was because the slut surnamed Zhou forced her and I to almost can't live, and we are trying to save ourselves and make enemies, so we came together. When my son was alive, she had to rely on me, so she had to obey. Now, the young emperor is such a muddy appearance that can't be put on the wall, the Min family and I don't get along, but her son has grown up and is capable, step by step to get the support of the clan nobles, married my niece, and got the favor and support of the prime minister, of course she will not treat me like before. ”

Aunt Mu didn't dare to answer, her eyebrows lowered. The Empress Dowager also quieted down, the master and servant were relatively silent for a long time, and suddenly heard the sound of reading aloud from behind the palace, and the Empress Dowager laughed: "Let Fu'er come over, I will test him." Perhaps, in the future, her hope will fall on this child. There is only one emperor, and it is much safer for a grandson to sit than a concubine.
