At this moment, Empress Dowager Ye was so angry that her chest was rising and falling, stroking her heart and gritting her teeth. She was already wearing a scarlet satin multicolored wavy satin skirt today, and her jewelry was also a complete set of red gold inlaid ruby pomegranate flowers, coupled with this flushed complexion, the whole person seemed to have just come out of the furnace, and her whole body was full of fire.

"Trick the mourners into writing poems for you, fulfill your name as a martyr, and then beat a rake, turn your face and don't recognize people?" Empress Dowager Ye found out that she had been tricked, raised her hand and pointed at Mrs. Tai, and couldn't wait to poke her in the face with one hand: "I should have remembered that this is your usual trick!" ”

Presumably because the movement of the tea cup falling was too big, as soon as Empress Dowager Ye finished speaking, the door of the hall was immediately pushed open from the outside. But seeing that the Yun clan's secret guards and palace guards were divided into two factions, they broke into the door together, lest their respective masters have any mistakes.

"Get out!" Before Mrs. Tai could speak, Empress Dowager Ye had already scolded: "Who taught you to come in?" Don't be ashamed of the mourning family! ”

Empress Dowager Ye's temper was already clear to everyone in the palace, and they didn't dare to say a word, so they repeatedly confessed and retreated. Mrs. Tai also waved her hand at the Yun Clan's secret guards and ordered them to retreat.

Empress Dowager Ye was already angry, but only then did she see the two parties pushing the door in, obviously the Yun Clan's secret guards were bigger and more well-trained, so she felt even more angry: "It's really amazing that Mrs. Xie is in charge of the Yun Clan!" Not only is he scheming and calculating, but even his subordinates are well-trained. ”

Mrs. Tai remained extremely calm, and she was not afraid of offending her by speaking: "The Queen Mother is too worried." You are now the founding queen mother, and the Yun family is just a courtier, how can you be arrogant in front of you? The old body doesn't want to calculate you, it's because you think too much. ”

"You mean the mourners are suspicious?" Empress Dowager Ye threw a knife over and glanced at Mrs. Tai fiercely: "The mourning family has no spare time to talk to you here." You give me a happy word, Mrs. Izumi, will you let people go? ”

"As long as King Cheng is willing to carry a sedan chair and the Ming media is marrying, the old man will naturally be released." Mrs. Tai did not show weakness: "My Yun family's housemother went to be a concubine for King Cheng, don't say that Xiutong disagrees, and the old body disagrees!" ”

"The widow of the Yun family wants to be the princess of Cheng, don't say that King Cheng disagrees, and the mourning family is also the first to disagree!" Empress Dowager Ye did the same and immediately refuted.

The two most respected women in the world are not just thinking about their respective children at this time, but with a bit of competition, neither of them is willing to bow their heads and admit defeat first, let alone admit that the other party's son is stronger than themselves and the other party's identity is higher than their own.

Mrs. Tai didn't want to dwell on this matter, she already knew that Empress Dowager Ye would not let go of this mouth. Now that her purpose has been achieved, the ownership of the chastity archway has been clear, and she is no longer hypocritical and polite: "The Queen Mother had better ask King Cheng what he meant, and the old body doesn't want to say more." ”

"Ask King Cheng? Don't be fooled by the mourning family! Empress Dowager Ye deliberately competed with Mrs. Tai: "Now he is being fascinated by Mrs. Xiu, if the mourning family asks him, how can he disagree?" ”

Mrs. Tai pursed her lips and was silent.

Empress Dowager Ye still chattered: "Your daughter-in-law is indeed as beautiful as a fairy, but she is also a woman in her twenties, and her face will inevitably wither in a few years." She slipped through the womb again, in case she fell into the root of the disease and couldn't grow out, what should I do with the incense of Chengwang's Mansion? ”

"The Queen Mother is thoughtful for King Cheng, and the old body has nothing to say." Mrs. Tai can only reply to this sentence.

Empress Dowager Ye became more and more annoyed when she heard this, and regretted that she had just inscribed a poem, and she had cheapened Xie Shudan for nothing, so she hurriedly ordered outside the door: "Zhang Chunxi!" ”

"The old slave is here." An old and shrill voice sounded, and the next moment, the door was pushed open again, and an old eunuch about fifty years old respectfully stepped into the hall and walked to the Empress Dowager Ye to standby: "What does the Empress Dowager command?" ”

"What about the inscription poem of the mourning family?" Empress Dowager Ye asked in a condensed voice.

"According to your orders, it will be sent to the craftsman for engraving immediately." Zhang Gonggong replied.

Empress Dowager Ye raised her hand and pointed out the door, trembling with anger: "Send someone to chase the mourning family back immediately!" This poem is no longer engraved! ”

"This ......" Gonggong Zhang was very embarrassed: "You ordered it urgently, and after such a big time, it must have started work." ”

Yunfu is in the north of the city, and the archway is in the south gate, even if the horse rushes over to spread the word, it is too late.

Empress Dowager Ye also thought of this layer, and she was even more angry: "Waste! Who made you move so fast! Get out of the mourners! ”

Seeing that Empress Dowager Ye was angry, Gonggong Zhang didn't dare to linger longer, so he hurriedly retreated again.

And Empress Dowager Ye was already so angry that her teeth trembled, and in the face of the calm and unchanging Mrs. Xie, she couldn't say a word anymore. The room was still angry and arguing, but at this time it suddenly became silent and quiet, and only the sound of Empress Dowager Ye's panting could be heard, as well as the sound of her upper and lower teeth colliding.

After a long time, Mrs. Tai slowly opened her mouth to persuade her: "It's been half a lifetime, and the Queen Mother is discouraged." ”

"You know it's been half a lifetime! You won't let me stop! Empress Dowager Ye was so angry that she leaned on the back of the chair, supported the armrest of the chair with her elbow, and gently pressed it on her forehead: "Xiao'er has a bad crush on anyone, but she likes your daughter-in-law!" How can the mourning family not be angry! ”

Mrs. Tai smiled when she heard this: "In this way, if it is someone else's daughter-in-law, you may not care about it?" ”

"The mourning family didn't say that!" Empress Dowager Ye blurted out: "King Cheng is the only son of the mourning family, and his wife must be knowledgeable, gentle and lovely, virtuous and virtuous, and talented and beautiful." ”

"Chuxiu is also knowledgeable, gentle and lovely, virtuous and virtuous, talented and beautiful." Mrs. Tai laughed back.

"That's not going to work either!" Empress Dowager Ye still didn't let go, holding her forehead and said impatiently: "The mourning family doesn't bother with you, and it is rumored that Mrs. Xiu is coming!" ”

Although Izumi was in Zhiyan Xuan, the dispute that happened in the living room had already reached her ears. Especially when Empress Dowager Ye suddenly wrote a poem for Mrs. Tai, and engraved the poem on the archway of Yun's chastity, it also made Mrs. Tai's intention clear -

Mrs. Tai is using Empress Dowager Ye's power to pave the way for her own remarriage, but the person she wants to remarry is definitely not Nie Peixiao.

If it is false to say that there is no trace of emotion, Izuku also guessed the intention of the Empress Dowager Ye, and the time of the Empress Dowager's arrival was too coincidental, just after the serious illness of King Cheng Nie Peixiao.

Therefore, when Gonggong Zhang and Yun Feng came to Zhiyanxuan to invite each other, Izumi was not surprised, but was a little more indifferent. She held a brocade box that had been prepared in her hand, came to the living room, and saluted the Empress Dowager Ye: "The concubine is out of the Yun family, and I wish the Empress Dowager a thousand blessings and peace." ”

"Get up." Empress Dowager Ye said lightly, and couldn't help but look at Xiu again. It is undeniable that this appearance, this temperament, this touching and neither humble nor arrogant are enough to make men all over the world tempted. It is no wonder that her beloved son has always been above the top and can be deeply fascinated by it.

Empress Dowager Ye couldn't help but feel a little regretful, if the lady in front of her was not the daughter-in-law of the Yun family, she might not be able to take care of it. But she is the person trained by Xie Shudan, if she is made to be the concubine of King Cheng, how can she swallow this breath? Isn't it his own son who wants to be a 'brother in the same boot' with a dead man? And this dead man is still Xie Shudan's short-lived ghost son!

Empress Dowager Ye was angry in her heart, and originally wanted to give Xiu a few colors. But the other party was gentle and submissive, and he looked like a fairy, Empress Dowager Ye couldn't get angry, and she couldn't say anything serious.

On the contrary, Mrs. Tai was very reasonable, and said to Chuxiu at the right time: "The Queen Mother has a few words to ask you alone, so don't make a mistake in your reply." ”

Izuku nodded slightly: "My daughter-in-law understands." ”

Mrs. Tai said "um", stood up and said, "The old body will avoid it for the time being." ”

"You've got a lot of fun." Empress Dowager Ye said coldly and sarcastically.

As if she hadn't heard, Mrs. Tai walked out of the living room without squinting, leaving the space for the remaining two.

Empress Dowager Ye originally planned to open her mouth to threaten, but at this moment, she relented for no reason, so she had to put on a decent smile again, and said to Chuxiu: "From a maidservant girl to the Yun family's housewife, you are also a legendary woman, looking at the north and south, you are the only one in the world." The mourning family has had a few encounters with Mrs., and they are also amazed by your talent, which shows that Mrs. Xie has a good eye. ”

Izumi held the brocade box in her hand and returned the gift: "The Queen Mother praises it." ”

"How is it a false praise? Just looking at the son of the mourning family who is infatuated with you, you also know that Mrs. is infinitely charming. Empress Dowager Ye couldn't help but glance at Xiu again: "It's indeed a lovely person, and the mourning family also likes to see your face." ”

This was said a little contemptuously, but Izumi was not angry, and still replied quietly: "The meaning of the Queen Mother's words, the concubine understands, and I am also grateful for the love between you and Your Highness...... But the concubine will not go to King Cheng's mansion. ”

"Why?" Empress Dowager Ye frowned: "Do you really want to be a widow for the rest of your life?" What kind of medicine did Xie Zhuodan give you? ”

"It's not my mother who gave me the best medicine." Out of Xiu raised her eyes and looked at Empress Dowager Ye very calmly: "You said that the story of the concubine is legendary, but in fact, you only know one of them, and even King Cheng may not know all of them." I don't know if you're willing to take the time to listen, the concubine is willing to tell all about her past experiences. ”

"Since the mourning family is here, they can naturally hear it." Empress Dowager Ye was also a little curious.

Izuku smiled indifferently and began to fall into memories: "The story of the concubine begins when she was fourteen years old. At that time, the concubine had another name, called 'Han Chu'......"

The wrong love with Helian Qi, the acquaintance with Shen Yu, and the acquaintance with Yun Ci...... Including the cause of Yun Ci's death, Shen Yu's experience, and the cause and result of the 50 million taels of gold debt...... Izuku came one by one without reservation.

Time passed little by little, and Izuku seemed unusually calm. She spoke unhurriedly and emotionally, as if what she was telling was not a real experience, but a fictional story in a notebook.

On the contrary, Empress Dowager Ye was attracted by this story of ups and downs, and gradually became sad, during which she wanted to cry several times, but she held back her tears and did not want to lose her temper.

After Izuxiu finished telling the whole story, she finally knelt down slowly and kowtowed to the ground: "The first husband is so affectionate, and the Marquis of Weiyuan is so important, how can the concubine empathize with His Royal Highness King Cheng and be the ruthless and unrighteous person?" Thanks to the Queen Mother and Her Royal Highness's wrong love, I hope you will understand the suffering of the concubine. ”

Hearing this, Empress Dowager Ye has been silent, and she has not been able to come out of this poignant story. Chuxiu didn't urge, only kept kneeling and kowtowing, waiting quietly.

After a long time, Empress Dowager Ye raised her hand to wipe the wetness from the corners of her eyes, and looked down at Chuxiu: "You are very smart, you deliberately said the fact that you are Hanchu, and broke the mind of the mourning family." The mourning family did not have the courage of Xie Shudan, so they let a woman from a green house pass through the door. ”

Empress Dowager Ye sighed slowly, embarrassed: "No wonder Xiao'er is very affectionate to you, it turns out that everything has a precedent...... However, as the queen mother of a country, the mourning family will never allow the Qinglou woman to entangle with Xiao'er more, which will ruin his prestige. Mrs. Xiu overcame rigidity with softness, and she really pinched the idea of the mourning family, and hit it with one blow. ”

"The concubine doesn't dare." Out of Xiu kowtowed deeply again: "His Royal Highness King Cheng has made a mistake in love, and the concubine is inscribed with a sense of guilt, but there is no way to repay it." The concubine has prepared something, and I ask the Queen Mother to hand it over on her behalf, or let Her Royal Highness give it up completely. ”

As she spoke, she raised her hands above her head and presented the brocade box......
