Chapter 129

Empress Dowager Li didn't want to come to Yingtai to participate in the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, but Zhu Yijun insisted, Wang Ronghe called Fangruo, "Why is the queen mother unwilling to come to Yingtai?" ”

". [No pop-ups. Fang Ruo also went to inquire deliberately, "From the palace to Yingtai, you have to take a sedan chair to come out of the noon gate and then go back from the noon gate, Your Majesty and Niangniang, as well as the Empress Dowager Chen, can all go to the main gate, but the Empress Dowager Li can't go." Therefore, Empress Dowager Li has always hated leaving the palace. ”

"Only His Majesty can go through the noon gate, the queen's wedding can go through the noon gate, and the top three lists of each imperial examination can go out from the noon gate, and no one can enter or exit from the noon gate except for it." Fang Ruo said.

Although Empress Dowager Chen is the concubine of King Yu, after the first emperor is on the throne, Empress Dowager Chen's chariot also enters from the main gate, so if she wants to leave the palace, she can also enter and exit from the noon gate. But Empress Dowager Li was only a concubine in the past, and even if she was promoted to the queen mother, she couldn't enter and exit from the noon gate in the final analysis.

Empress Dowager Li is the foundation of the Nine Lotus Bodhisattva, in addition to holding power, but also to improve her identity. When the first emperor was newly mourned, the young emperor ascended the throne, and the queen mother was needed, although the Empress Dowager Li was His Majesty's mother, at the beginning she had to come to the court together with the Empress Dowager Chen, when she was the queen, she and Her Majesty sit, Li Guifei could only stand, and when she was the queen mother, her own son became the emperor, or only the Empress Dowager Chen and His Majesty sit, and the Empress Dowager Li could only stand.

How can Empress Dowager Li be convinced.

Empress Dowager Chen has no children and no favors, she has always been silent, and she has nothing to do with herself. But after being promoted to the Empress Dowager, she also wanted to compete with the Empress Dowager Li at first, after all, in terms of identity, the Empress Dowager Li always had to be subordinate to her. But how could Empress Dowager Li, who gave birth to the most children for the first emperor, be so good as her peers, and when she noticed Empress Dowager Chen's intentions, she figured out the Nine Lotus Bodhisattva's dream.

After improving his identity, he reached a consensus with Zhang Juzheng, Feng Bao and others, and finally moved into the Qianqing Palace on the grounds of taking care of the young emperor. Empress Dowager Chen's own political ability is weak, how can she be the opponent of Empress Dowager Li, in the end, she can only take advantage of her long-term illness and infirmity, live in Cining Palace, and do not ask about political affairs.

But it was when Empress Dowager Li was at her most victorious, Empress Dowager Chen was in one day, she was a concubine, and the order of all the dresses could not be violated.

"Then I'll go talk to Your Majesty again." Wang Ronghe said that it was actually a little cold in August, and it was time to go back to the palace to escape the summer in Yingtai. Since you want to go back, why bother to be tough enough to set up a banquet in Yingtai.

Yingtai originally also had palace people on duty, some people came to support the elderly, but there are still people who have ambitions in their hearts, they want to climb up, the emperor later Yingtai summer vacation is good news, want to climb up in the past few months is full of energy in front of the master to show, and the master around the palace people to build a good relationship.

Originally, the queen wanted to hold a Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in Yingtai, but it seemed that because the Empress Dowager Li in the palace did not like it, it was going to be canceled. Yingtai is a grandmother, her heart is beating faster, as if she has found an opportunity to soar into the sky.

The belly of the fifth month of pregnancy has been exposed, although the loose robe is still not visible, Wang Ronghe often feels backache recently, and her feet have begun to swell, she asked people to make comfortable slippers, anyway, the skirt covers it, and others don't know the slippers she wears.

I have been in Yingtai for so long without powder, but my skin is fair and delicate, and I look very beautiful without powder. Wang Ronghe and Zhu Yijun laughed, "This fetus may really be a little princess, the girl is the mother's intimate little padded jacket, and the mother is intimate in the belly, and the mother's pregnancy is not ugly, but beautiful." ”

"You look good because you're stained with dragon spirits." Zhu Yijun said seriously, "Ordinary pregnant women are not moisturized, so they have a bad complexion." ”

Wang Rong and Da Yi did not talk to him.

Although His Majesty has not promised Niangniang to go back to the palace to hold the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner, but after the Mid-Autumn Festival, he will return to the palace, and the luggage will also be put together.

Wu Wu came over to say, "Niangniang, there is a grandmother in this Yingtai who came to ask to see Niangniang, saying that there is something important to report." ”

"What?" Wang Ronghe asked.

"I don't know." "She said that she had to meet her mother, and she repeatedly emphasized that it was a very important thing. ”

Wang Ronghe groaned for a moment, and then said let her come over.

said that she was a grandmother, but she was only in her early thirties, dressed in palace clothes, half-new, with traces of hard work on her face, and vigorous ambition. Wang Rong and Wen Yan asked her, "Do you have something to tell the palace?" ”

"Yes." Mama knelt on the ground and didn't get up, "Please also ask the mother to step back left and right." ”

"What does it take to retreat?" Wang Ronghe raised his eyebrows and asked, "What is the crime of offending this palace?" Do you know it in your heart? ”

"Niangniang knew when she heard what the slave said, the less people knew about it, the better." Mama stared at the slate in front of her and said, "The news sent by the slave is what the mother needs the most now." ”

"What are you talking about what is most urgent in this palace right now?" Wang Ronghe said with a smile, she enjoyed the scenery in the pavilion, in addition to worrying, the palace people in the pavilion were still the clever palace people selected by Yingtai.

Wang Ronghe waved his hand to let Wu Xuan take them away, and he didn't go far, just a hundred meters away from the pavilion, he could see the scene in the pavilion, but if he didn't listen carefully, he couldn't hear what was said in the pavilion.

"Say it." Wang Ronghe said.

"The most urgent thing for Niangniang now is that the Queen Mother of the Virgin is clamping down on the Queen Mother everywhere, and the news here can make the Mother Mother feel comfortable facing the Queen Mother." Mama said.

Wang Ronghe squinted at her. "Do you think this palace will believe that a person from Yingtai Palace who has never served the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother has never been to Yingtai will know the gossip of the Queen Mother?"

"Dare to slander the Queen Mother, a big crime should be punished, are you really not afraid?"

"The queen mother is a benevolent person, since entering the palace, the queen mother has always been the first place, and the queen mother always has many restrictions on the mother, and the clay people have three points of earthiness, not to mention the mother." Mama said that Wang Ronghe's reaction was in her expectations, where could she tell the person she met for the first time that she would deal with her mother-in-law.

But Mama was sure that the queen was dissatisfied with Empress Dowager Li.

"Although the Queen Mother is now the queen mother and has a noble status, she was just a palace person in the past, a concubine, how can she compare to the courage of the mother who entered the palace from the noon gate." Mama said, "The Queen Mother doesn't like to come to Yingtai to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner, isn't she annoyed that she can't enter and exit from the main gate, and she is very stingy." ”

"How dare you say it?" Wang Ronghe said, "Just say these words to you today, you won't be able to run away after a meal." This palace is benevolent, and it can't tolerate people who talk nonsense and make nonsense. ”

"The slave maid just really feels sorry for the mother, and she also inadvertently knows that the Queen Mother is disrespectful to the Venerable, so she is even more distressed that the mother is still under the control of the Queen Mother." Mama said, "Even if the mother wants to punish the slave and the maid, the slave must say it." ”

"You've been selling for long enough." Wang Ronghe said, "No matter how mysterious you are, this board is indispensable." ”

"Niangniang, do you know that the Queen Mother is she, she is not chaste." Mama said, and finally walked to Wang Ronghe on her knees and said.

Wang Ronghe's pupils widened, "Where did you know?" ”

"The slave maid was not in Yingtai at the beginning, the slave maid was originally in the palace to serve the flowers and plants, there is a township is to serve in front of the Queen Mother, usually I also take care of a lot, one day she came to me, looked uneasy, said she would die, the slave asked her what was wrong, she said she accidentally found that the Empress Dowager Li was tryst with Zhang Juzheng."

"Shut up and don't say anything." Wang Rong and the table stood up.

Mama was silent, "The slave and maid died of illness soon after, and the slave and maid were very afraid, so they found a mistake and were assigned to Yingtai, and the slave and maid originally wanted to rot the news in their stomachs." But the queen mother came to Yingtai, and we remote palace people also took care of it, and the slave and maid were grateful for the kindness of the mother, and they couldn't bear to be restrained by the Queen Mother, so they came to inform. ”

"Who else knows but you?" Wang Ronghe stared at her and asked.

"There have been a group of people around Empress Dowager Li, and all the people who know about it have either died and returned to their hometowns in those three or five years, and they have died on the road. The slave maid doesn't know if there are other people in the palace who are also like the slave maid who will know the news by fate but are buried deep in their stomachs, but Yingtai, only the slave and maid should know. Mama looked up and said.

"Mother, don't worry, no one will testify." Mama said. "Yin private affairs, the most difficult to argue, find a person from the first or second palace to pretend to be a ghost in Ci'an Palace to call a few words to return my life, and then release rumors, Empress Dowager Li can naturally only cultivate in Ci'an Palace in the future, and can no longer come out to clamp Niangniang."

"Mother." But it was Gu Yanxi who came over, and saw that he was worried and took the palace people to watch from afar. And Niangniang was talking to a strange palace person in the pavilion, Gu Yanxi shouted in an ominous way. Seeing Wang Ronghe fall backwards, although he quickly held on to the stone table.

But Gu Yanxi and Wuxian and the others still came over quickly, "Niangniang? ”

Wang Ronghe was hugged by Gu Yanxi and Wuxi, and said in Wuwu's ear with a mosquito voice, "Plug her mouth and throw her into the lake." ”

Gu Yanxi also heard it, and his heart shook, but when he saw that he was about to step forward empty-handed, since Niangniang was going to gag her mouth, she naturally didn't want this person to say anything, so she gagged with her hands, and if she accidentally shouted out, it would ruin Niangniang's business. Gu Yanxi took out a handkerchief and wrapped it around the incense ball on her waist, and stepped forward with Wuxi, when Wuwu grabbed Mama's shoulder, she quickly stuffed the handkerchief ball into her mouth, and then suppressed Mama left and right, dragged it all the way to the water, and threw it in.

Wu Wu saw that the person went into the water and let go of his hand, swallowed nervously, his hand was trembling, and his chest was beating wildly, but she was not afraid, Wu Jie was suddenly absent, the old lady asked her to accompany Niang Niang into the palace with Wu Wu, and the old lady told them that if you follow Niang Niang into the palace, you must do a good job of the knife in Niangniang's hand, and you must protect Niangniang, that is, Niangniang wants you to go to shā rén, and you must do it cleanly.

I don't want that day, but you have to be aware of it. Niangniang trusts no one in the palace, only you have followed Niangniang since childhood, this friendship is not something that others can replace, Niangniang really wants to do tricky things, and you will only rest assured that you can do it. Anyone will betray their mother, but neither of you will be.

Worrying about clenching her fists, she did it, although she was the youngest on weekdays, her mother indulged her, she was cheerful and loved gossip, but today she was carefree, and she also protected her mother.

Gu Yanxi had an extra heart, I didn't know if this person could water, so he lay on the ground, stretched out half of his body and pressed the person underwater, struggling and stirring up a lot of splashes, and hurriedly came to help hold it down until the movement under his hand became smaller, and the two of them pulled the person up together.

I felt my breath, I felt my pulse, I felt my heartbeat.

Sure that they were dead, both of them sat down on the ground, and raised their heads to Wang Ronghe in the pavilion without worry. "Niangniang, this person has been ambushed."

Wang Ronghe felt a faint pain in his stomach, and said in a cold sweat, "Good." ”

"Pass on the Imperial Doctor."
