Chapter 262: A Dream After Prosperity (8)
Empress Dowager Ye proposed to smash the Yun family's chastity archway, and everyone did not dare to refuse, and they did not dare to do it easily in private, so they hurriedly secretly passed the news to Yingyuan Palace, and asked the emperor to show it.
Here, the Empress Dowager was worried about her son's condition, and as soon as she arrived at King Cheng's mansion, she immediately went to visit Nie Peixiao. At first sight, I was shocked and distressed-
Where is this still the handsome Nine Emperor Princes and the extravagant King Cheng? emaciated, pale, weak...... Although it is not dying, it can also be seen that the illness is not light.
This situation actually made Empress Dowager Ye cry uncontrollably: "Xiao'er, why are you so stupid, how can you be worth it for the widow of the Yun family?" ”
Nie Peixiao stood up strongly, one of her right arms drooped without strength, and she smiled reluctantly: "Feng Fei is too ignorant...... How can a minor illness alarm you? ”
"Is this still 'a minor illness'?" Empress Dowager Ye's right hand was wearing a red gold gilt jasper bracelet, and she raised her finger at him tremblingly, the jewel had not yet shaken Nie Peixiao's eyes, and she herself felt extremely dazzling: "Is it necessary to wait for you to die, and let the queen mother and me send the white-haired person to the black-haired person, which can be regarded as 'a big event'?!" ”
After finishing speaking, Empress Dowager Ye felt that this was too unlucky, so she hurriedly smacked it on the ground and said, "You already have a shoulder injury, how can you go to the rain again?" ”
Nie Peixiao stroked her chest and coughed lightly for a while before she slowly replied: "It's okay, Erchen can hold on, teach you to worry." ”
Empress Dowager Ye felt pity and annoyance in her heart, and when she saw Nie Peixiao's appearance, she finally slapped the table and said coldly: "When the mourning family just entered the city, it was not pleasing to the eye, and it was ordered to be demolished. ”
"Demolished? The queen mother can't! Nie Peixiao was anxious when she heard this: "Chuxiu cherishes the name festival the most, and this chastity archway is given by the royal brother...... If you tear it down, she will ......"
"You're still talking to her?" Empress Dowager Ye hated that iron could not become steel: "The mourning family is so stupid? Do you have to admit that you dismantled it yourself? The mourners saw that the road was damp and muddy, and there must have been a few heavy rains. Could it be that the archway of chastity fell, could it not have been struck by lightning? ”
Nie Peixiao couldn't cry or laugh when she heard this, but she still persuaded: "The queen mother thinks twice, this matter has nothing to do with Izumi, it is the fault of my son." ”
When the word "out of Xiu" was mentioned again, Empress Dowager Ye became more and more indignant, and she was very protective of the calf: "Xie Shudan's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are really good!" The old one fought the mourning family for a lifetime, and the younger one came again to plague the son of the mourning family! ”
As soon as these words came out, Nie Peixiao was shocked: "Queen Mother, don't embarrass her." ”
"Embarrassed?" Empress Dowager Ye sighed and compromised: "If the mourning family embarrasses her, do you have to hate the mourning family for the rest of your life?" ”
"Erchen doesn't dare." Nie Peixiao coughed lightly again, her face flushed for a while, and she looked a little more energetic, but Empress Dowager Ye was even more worried.
"Hello, rest for your life, this matter will be handled by the mourning family. It doesn't matter if she's Mrs. Izuku or Mrs. Rust, I'm sure she'll be obedient enough to come and take care of you!" Empress Dowager Ye's beautiful eyes narrowed, exuding a bit of sharp light. And this light was so familiar, it was surprisingly similar to the Yun Clan's Mrs. Xie.
"Queen Mother......" Nie Peixiao wanted to stop it, lest Empress Dowager Ye would help more and more chaos. But he privately hoped that Empress Dowager Ye would intervene in this matter, and it was unknown if he could say that Xiu would be moved. Thinking of this, he also stopped talking.
Knowing her son Mo Ruomu, Empress Dowager Ye didn't ask more, but only comforted: "You are so good to give birth to and recuperate, don't spoil your body, just wait for the good news of the mourning family." ”
After finishing speaking, she instructed the imperial doctor from Jingzhou to diagnose Nie Peixiao's injury, and she went out to avoid it for the time being, and recruited the housekeeper of Chengwang's Mansion, and said coldly: "You immediately go to Yunfu to give Mrs. Xie a post, and the mourning family will go to meet her for a while!" ”
How dare the housekeeper write the four words "will ...... her for a while" in the worship post, so he had to hurriedly take the order and write it as "there is something important to discuss". After the post was written, Empress Dowager Ye said that she wanted to see it in person, so the housekeeper didn't dare to slack off and hurriedly presented the post.
Unexpectedly, after reading it, Empress Dowager Ye was furious, and scolded the housekeeper with her head and face: "The mourning family is the founding queen mother of the Daling Dynasty, and she went to Yunfu to give her Xie Shudan face!" What do you do with such humility in writing? Don't be ashamed of the mourning family! No wonder your prince has become like this, all of your subordinates are not doing things well, as the steward of the Chengwang Mansion, you should bear the brunt of the blame! ”
Empress Dowager Ye got up and threw the prayer post on the butler's face: "Just say that the mourning family is 'Feng driving in person'!" If you can't even write a prayer post, this palace steward doesn't have to do it! ”
The housekeeper was so frightened that the three souls went to the seven spirits, and hurriedly knelt on the ground to plead guilty, picked up the prayer post and withdrew. Then he meditated and pondered repeatedly, and then suddenly woke up - his master is King Cheng, not the Yun family, and it is nothing to be arrogant, how can he abandon the original and the end and offend the Queen Mother by holding the Yun Mansion?
Thinking of this, the housekeeper suddenly brightened, a greeting post was sprinkled, and there was no lack of arrogance and contempt in his tone, this time the Empress Dowager Ye was slightly satisfied, pointed to the unfilled date in the blank, and said: "Just write that the mourning family will come tomorrow!" ”
At that time, Empress Dowager Ye did not expect that her trip to leave Yingyuan Palace and come to Yanlan City to visit her beloved son would set off a turmoil. And in this storm that is nearing the end, how many people have paid a terrible price for it.
Of course, that's an afterthought.
*****
The next day, the heavenly prince also gave enough to Queen Ye, and the sun broke through the clouds and swayed the earth, dazzling and sharp, just like the queen mother who was high above. She deliberately chose a solemn dress today, a scarlet satin multicolored wavy satin skirt, with a whole set of red gold inlaid ruby pomegranate flowers, from the hairpin to the earrings. Not to mention the exquisite makeup, he must overwhelm Mrs. Xie in appearance and momentum, and the whole person is rich and compelling, but also noble and calm.
However, after she got out of the car outside the Yunfu Gate, she couldn't stop feeling lost. Mrs. Xie didn't plan to compete with her at all, she was dressed in an old-fashioned brown shirt, and there were few ornaments on her body, but she could also see that they were precious.
If you really want to talk about the place that can comfort Empress Dowager Ye, it is probably Mrs. Xie's face - more than ten years older than her. And out of consideration of her identity, Mrs. Xie personally went to the front of the mansion to greet her, but she did not kneel.
Empress Dowager Ye knew that although she was domineering, this visit could be regarded as a request, so she looked at the lintel of Yunfu with a smile on her face, and said with a meaningful smile: "If it weren't for the word 'Yunfu' on this door, the mourning family would have thought that they had entered the palace or the heavenly palace." ”
The implication is that it directly refers to the status and attitude of Yunfu.
Mrs. Xie did not show weakness, stretched out her hand to ask, and replied with a smile: "The Yun family has been based in Kyushu for hundreds of years, and it is just that the people are kind and supportive. ”
"Yes! Who can compare to the Yun Clan? Empress Dowager Ye stroked her sleeves, put one hand on the hand of the palace maid, and let her help her inside: "To say something unpleasant, if the Yun family falls immediately, don't say that the people of Kyushu are unwilling, I am afraid that in three or five years, the country will not be able to take the country, and the money will not be able to turn around." ”
"I'm afraid it's more than three or five years." Mrs. Xie said this vaguely, and no longer had a verbal dispute with her.
Empress Dowager Ye touched a soft nail, then moved her gaze to the face of Izuku, and sighed in admiration: "It's been almost five years since the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet of Yingyuan Palace. Shangcang is really eccentric, and Madame not only does not see any haggard old age, but adds a bit of charm. ”
The last time there was a palace banquet in Yingyuan Palace, Emperor Tongsheng was still present, and Emperor Nie Peihan was just the regent, and the Ming clan of the descendant clan had not fallen. It was that night that the Yun family got four archways, and Nie Peixiao also recklessly confessed, this day really impressed Xiu, and he couldn't forget it.
"The Queen Mother praised it falsely." Different from Mrs. Xie's sharp and cold words, and different from the words of Empress Dowager Ye, Chuxiu's tone was gentle and tactful: "Time is really kind to you." The founding queen mother is well-maintained, the saint and King Cheng Chenghuan are on their knees, and the queen is also gentle and frugal. You are the example of women in the world. ”
Empress Dowager Ye paused when she heard this, and couldn't help but look sideways at Xiu again, and saw that the other party was smiling indifferently, but she couldn't tell whether these words were compliments or sarcasm. Empress Dowager Ye thought about it, and could only smile and said, "I haven't seen you for a few years, and Mrs. Izuxiu is even better able to speak." ”
"It's because you're blessed and you're a concubine." Izuku laughed back again.
"Deeply blessed?" Empress Dowager Ye finally heard a little deep meaning, and sneered: "Yes! King Cheng is dying of illness, and the mourning family is indeed blessed. ”
Izuxiu's face remained the same, but there was a bit of gloom hidden in the light of his eyes, but unfortunately Empress Dowager Ye didn't see it.
The group exchanged words and words, and finally walked into the waiting room, Empress Dowager Ye looked at it for a while, and praised again: "The Yun family is the Yun family, and Ying Yuan Palace can't catch up." ”
Mrs. Tai still didn't answer, and restarted the topic: "I don't know if the Queen Mother is here in person, what do you say?" ”
Empress Dowager Ye glanced at Xiu, and Xiu immediately understood, and seeing that Mrs. Tai did not stop her, she took a group of subordinates to retire, and even Empress Dowager Ye's attendants also retreated, leaving only these two women who had been fighting for half their lives in the living room.
At this point, Empress Dowager Ye put down a little bit of her shelf and sighed coldly: "Mrs. Tai gave birth to a good son and taught a good daughter-in-law!" ”
"The Queen Mother is too famous." Mrs. Xie suddenly replied: "Whether the son born and raised is good or bad, now it is just a tablet in the ancestral hall." ”
When Mrs. Tai said this, her tone was very flat, and she did not see half of her sadness. But Empress Dowager Ye was shocked for no reason, and immediately remembered Nie Peixiao's sick appearance. If the Aiko has three long and two short......
Thinking of this, Empress Dowager Ye was a little more resentful of Mrs. Tai and Izuxiu, and couldn't help but say sarcastically: "What if it becomes a tablet?" In the same way, Mrs. Chuxiu will be properly packed up, and she will stay in Yunfu to guard her deceased husband's chastity. ”
Mrs. Tai naturally wouldn't break Shen Yu's matter, and seeing that there was no one around, she no longer had any scruples: "Listening to the meaning of the Queen Mother, is it accusing Chu Xiu of being willing to guard a tablet rather than guarding the big living people in King Cheng's mansion?" ”
This was a bit too much, and Empress Dowager Ye was immediately so angry that her face turned red: "Xie Shudan! ”
Mrs. Tai just didn't hear it, then looked at Empress Dowager Ye, and continued: "Besides, there is a chastity archway pressing on her, isn't it the meaning of the saint?" Isn't the Holy One also your raised son? Speaking of which, if you don't remarry or not, don't you have to say whether you have the final say? ”
