539 Disrespectful to the Queen Mother
Liang Gonggong raised his eyebrows, although he has not been sitting in the top position among the palace eunuchs in the Forbidden City for a long time, but the chief manager is the chief manager, who has not given him Liang Gonggong face in the palace in recent years, the emperor and the first concubine who had the final say in front of him have treated him with three points, and often remembers that he takes care of the emperor's hard work, but this little Chang is there, and he actually yells at himself.
Wang Changzai was also in a hurry, so he would speak ill of him. At home, she is a young lady, not a person who has always lowered her eyebrows and pleasing her eyes, and she had to bend down to be a man after entering the palace, but this time the emperor gave her face, and everyone in the palace came up and down, and the pride of her daughter in her early years returned to her body, and she was impulsive, so she didn't control her words and deeds.
"Wang Changzai waited for a while, and after the servant Min Changzai entered the door, he asked Long Live Lord to give you an explanation." Liang Gonggong sneered in his heart, although his face was respectful and polite, but while he was talking, he left Wang Changzai, turned to Min Changzai, bowed down and said, "Changzai, long live Lord has been waiting for a long time, please come in." ”
Min Changzai raised her eyes and looked at Wang, her eyebrows were full of anger, and her beautiful face looked a little hideous under the lights.
"Father-in-law Liang, because Yanxi Palace has been lively all day today, the little princess was hugged and played by everyone, and she was a little uncomfortable at night, and she was still crying before I went out, and I was very unsure. I wanted to tell the emperor to step down, but now that Wang Chang is here, there is no shortage of people around the emperor to serve, I am more at ease, so I won't go in. I was annoyed that my father-in-law told the emperor to know this, and I still went back first, thinking about the little princess in my heart. ”
Min Chang said these words calmly and indifferently, without waiting for Liang Gonggong to agree, he blessed his body in the door, holding Xiaoyu's hand and about to turn back, Liang Gonggong spoke out to keep her to no avail, when everyone was embarrassed, a little eunuch ran out of the door, leaned into the ear of Manager Liang and whispered, Manager Liang seemed to breathe a sigh of relief when he listened, and bowed down to the two and said: "Long live Lord suddenly has something important to deal with, maybe he will summon the minister to meet overnight, tonight I won't bother the two of you to wait, please go back to rest early." ”
Wang Changzai asked in a loud voice: "According to this, Long Live Lord obviously summoned me, but what did you say about those words just now, Gonggong Liang, you are clearly playing tricks on me?" ”
Liang Gonggong's face did not change: "Long live the lord knows that you are coming, so I have this saying, the slave is on an errand in front of the palace, when do you dare to hear something less, and the slave has a few heads, and dare to make fun of the king." ”
"You obviously ...... in your heart" Wang Chang was arrogant, he couldn't hold back his arrogance for a while, and when he wanted to scold Liang's father-in-law, he listened to the movement of the sedan chair on the side.
Everyone followed the sound and looked, and before they knew it, Min Changzai had already sat back in the soft sedan chair, and her palace maid Xiaoyu ran to salute Wang Changzai and say goodbye, and said goodbye to Liang Gonggong fairly, and left.
In this way, it seems that Wang Changzai has no demeanor, she is a smart person, and she knows that she is very out of shape tonight, but Liang Gonggong is a slave after all, she can't bow her eyebrows to a minion, and she thinks that she will send him some benefits in the future, so she no longer cares about Liang Gonggong, and sits back in the sedan chair.
After both sides left, Gonggong Liang straightened up to take a breath, and the little apprentice on the side came to invite him back diligently, helping to count a few words from Wang Changzai, but was reproached by Gonggong Liang: "Palm, bastard, when will it be your turn to talk about the master behind your back?" ”
Naturally, Liang's father-in-law would not really punish the little apprentice, but he also muttered in his heart, looking at the two people who were always in the same position, one was the lowest palace maid in the past, and the other was a young lady from the Jiangnan scholarly family, but no matter how you look at it, they are all Min Changzai is more noble and generous, and he has a bit of the character of a virtuous concubine, but this Wang Chang is here, which is really flattering.
In the past, there was a powerful Concubine Ping in the palace, if she encountered such a thing, she would definitely not be able to spare Wang Chang so arrogantly, but looking at the palace now, several noble people are unwilling to care, and no one can compete with her. Favor her is the first part, and the temperament, but the emperor forced her into what she is now, even if something happened in Yuqing Palace, she can say for her thoughtfully, the prince is "shorter" than her, Liang Gonggong understands in his heart, no matter how unpleasant he looks, he can't go against the emperor's will, since the emperor wants Wang Chang to walk sideways in this palace, he will get out of the way.
But this matter, the next day, spread in the palace, saying that Wang Changzai went to intercept Min Changzai's pet, which angered the emperor, and both of them were sent back, one said that Wang Changzai was too favored and no one was in his eyes, and another said that Min Changzai was no longer in the past, and it was easy to calm the palace for a few months, but soon it was the day when the third elder brother and the fourth elder brother got married, even if Lan Qi could bear it, Concubine Rong did not agree.
Two days later, there were concubines with broken mouths who were punished by Concubine Rong for this, although the palace stopped some, but there were also unconvinced and bold, and they went directly to Ningshou Palace, and they also insisted that the queen mother was not the queen mother of the past, and this "master" was easy to bully, so he begged the queen mother to be the master, and the king who was in charge of no one in his eyes was always there.
Concubine Rong and Lan Qi were even more angry, how could they allow those women to disturb the Queen Mother's tranquility, although they found those few people to admonish and punish, but they had already alarmed Ningshou Palace, and the Queen Mother could no longer pretend not to know, so she could only call Wang and Zhang Jia to her, and when Lan Qi arrived at Ningshou Palace, the two were kneeling in the palace to reply.
Concubine Rong and Lan Qi walked by and saluted the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother remembered to let them get up and give a seat on the side, but the two of them were still kneeling, only to hear the Queen Mother say: "The concubines are harmonious, the six palaces can be peaceful, the emperor likes a few of you recently, you have to be more honorable, although the incident that night was not your fault, but you should have handled it more carefully." Don't let such a thing happen in the future, spread it out, and lose the royal dignity. ”
Lan Qi was listening, the Queen Mother obviously looked at the emperor's face, did not speak harshly to them, probably just called to do it for people outside, but the matter did not end because of this, just when the Queen Mother taught them the rules, Liang Gonggong personally came from the Qianqing Palace, at first glance saw Concubine De and Concubine Rong were also here, and avoided the eyes of the two with a weak heart, and then knelt down in front of the Queen Mother to convey the emperor's words, one emperor wanted to summon Wang Changzai to the Qianqing Palace, and the other was to convey Xuan Ye's words word by word: "The emperor is willing to teach Wang Changzai, It's a blessing for me and her, but please look at the emperor's mother's sake, for the sake of her young and ignorant and unrelated in the palace in Beijing, please don't be too harsh, and love Wang Chang more gently. ”
The Queen Mother was stunned when she heard this, and looked at Lan Qi in a daze, Lan Qi and Concubine Rong had already got up and left their seats, bowing their heads to listen to the emperor's words, not knowing that the Queen Mother was looking at them.
"You take Wang Changzai to the Qianqing Palace." The Queen Mother could only retract her gaze, swallow the resentment in her heart, and commanded in a cold voice, "You tell the emperor that I am not in good spirits and have no time to teach Wang Chang for her, please let the emperor bother more." ”
Manager Liang trembled and responded, Wang Chang struggled to get up from the ground after kowtowing to the Queen Mother, although there was a faint condensation of arrogance in his eyes, he did not dare to be presumptuous in front of the Queen Mother and the second concubine, bowed his head and retreated, and stayed in front of the door, when he turned around, Lan Qi clearly saw her straightening her waist, and her chin was raised high when she turned her face sideways, and her whole body was full of inexhaustible arrogance.
"Stand down, all of you." The Queen Mother was obviously very unhappy, and helped the grandmother on the side to get up and go to the inner hall, Lan Qi didn't dare to stop it, and asked Sister Rong to take care of Min Chang, who had been kneeling for a long time, and followed the Queen Mother into the door, and the Queen Mother sat down on the kang, she motioned to the grandmother to retreat from the idle people, etc., and then bent her knees and bowed deeply, "The concubine will compensate you for the emperor, the emperor will definitely come to apologize to you in person in the future, and those words must be a last resort, please don't take the Queen Mother to heart." ”
"Get up and speak." The Queen Mother frowned and complained, "For the sake of a small Changzai, she actually made us like this, she really has the ability." ”
Lan Qi didn't dare to get up, still knelt on the ground, and said respectfully to the Queen Mother: "Look at the palace over the years, when have there been concubines treated like this, that is, the former Empress Xiaoyi, you also know that the emperor has been reprimanded before and after, and the emperor does not tolerate face to such a noble person as the queen, Wang Chang is in such an identity, why let the emperor not even care about your filial piety?" ”
She knelt under the queen mother's knees, holding the queen mother's robe to explain what the emperor had said to her one by one, the queen mother was embarrassed when she heard it, pulled Lan Qi to sit down beside her, caressed the back of her hand and said, "It's hard for you." ”
"The emperor took over the matter himself, the emperor bothered himself, and the concubines were not embarrassed. Seeing that you were angry, I really felt that it was not worth it and I couldn't bear it, so I told the truth, but I think the emperor will definitely come to explain to you in the future, and I ask the Queen Mother to bear with me. Lan Qi tried her best to defend Xuan Ye, and even mentioned Yuqing Palace, saying, "You see that for so many years, when are some people allowed to be disrespectful to Yuqing Palace, that time the side Fujin called the imperial doctor, but the emperor in turn blamed the side Fujin for being careless." The emperor pushed Wang Changzheng on the cusp of the storm so extremely, I believe that soon the courtiers will attack her, whether the emperor wants to use her to restrain the harem or warn Jiangnan, the concubines dare not speculate, but they understand in their hearts that she is actually a poor person, compared to her, the concubines and many concubines in this palace are much luckier. ”
The Queen Mother sighed: "I used to think that the queen I did inexplicably, but now I see you like this, I know how good my life is, I really don't know how blessed I am, I am such a rich idler, what else is there to complain about." ”
"If you don't misunderstand the emperor, the concubines will be at ease." Lan Qi didn't want the Queen Mother to have a dislike with Xuan Ye, so she still said cautiously, "Even if the emperor is too busy to explain to you, the concubine will think of reminding the emperor that the emperor is rude to you." ”
The Queen Mother smiled a little, remembered the happy event and said: "After Yuxi enters the palace, let her take a good look at how you behave in the world, you teach by word and deed, she will definitely be a filial daughter-in-law in the future, and she will definitely not be like the old family." ”
This is all an afterthought, now Lan Qi is afraid that the Queen Mother will misunderstand the emperor, she knows that even if she says so much, the Queen Mother must still have a mustard in her heart, after exiting Ningshou Palace that day, she sent someone to Liang Gonggong, and sure enough, Liang Gonggong sent back that the emperor asked Concubine De to rest assured, and the emperor personally went to Ningshou Palace at night to explain to the Queen Mother.
Lan Qi sat in the Yonghe Palace and breathed a sigh of relief, raised her eyes to see the wedding materials spread out on the shelves on the table, and couldn't help complaining about Xuan Ye: "I don't know if I feel sorry for me at all, I have to make some trouble." ”
