Chapter 375: Dowry
Before the maid finished speaking, Tong Xinrou opened her mouth, pinching the edge of the bed fiercely in her hand, her eyes were full of anger, if there was no Tao Li'er's handwriting in this matter, she really didn't believe it!
If Tao Li'er on the other side heard Tong Xinrou's words, she would definitely feel wronged, because she really didn't know anything.
But it is true that the bold words in the capital about the second lady of Tong Fu's childlike spirit in the palace have been spread all over the streets and alleys, and the people are talking about it, and their tones are full of disdain.
"Well, it looks like it still hasn't been saved." Tao Li'er, who was sitting in the carriage, heard gossip from both sides of the street, and when she lowered the curtain, Tao Li'er directly told the coachman to leave quickly.
Xiang'er's face was gloating, "Miss, this is not very good, the childlike heart is soft and evil, so let's see what face she has to live." ”
The little girl is not very old, but it is obvious that she has a lot of resentment towards the childlike heart.
Tao Li'er frowned, "Who cares about her life or death, I'm worried that Tongfu will be affected, it seems that I didn't think it through, there were a lot of people last night, even if someone said it, it would be difficult to find out who it was, even if there was a suspicion, without full evidence, I couldn't do anything to him." ”
When Tao Li'er said this, her eyes were full of helplessness, and Xiang'er couldn't say anything anymore when she heard the words, so she could only look at Tao Li'er carefully.
"Miss, is it necessary to give the silver?"
Xiang'er opened her mouth cautiously, today they went to the palace to send Tao Li'er and the emperor agreed on 50 million taels of gold, according to Tao Li'er's words, mainly to buy fame for the Tong Mansion.
Tao Li'er nodded when she heard this, "The silver is naturally going to be sent, and the ministers are all looking at it, and the other ......"
Tao Li'er paused suddenly as she spoke, and Xiang'er looked up suspiciously, "What other young lady?" ”
Tao Li'er raised her eyebrows, "In addition, it will be regarded as a dowry for His Royal Highness Liwang." ”
Xiang'er opened her mouth wide in surprise when she heard this, she should be the only one who dared to say such a thing......
Unbeknownst to the two chatting in the carriage, the Liwang had just left the palace before they entered the palace.
The Imperial Study.
"Rebel!"
The emperor slapped the table angrily, and Gonggong Li beside him lowered his eyebrows and said nothing, his master has become more and more irritable in recent days.
Just left the king, and the emperor and discord, I was determined to marry Tao Li'er, the birthday banquet only passed last night, this morning the king rushed into the palace to ask for marriage, although the attitude is more like a notice.
Seeing that the emperor was still angry, Gonggong Li couldn't help sighing, "Your Majesty, since His Royal Highness the King likes it, you just allow him to do it, why bother to make a discordant relationship between father and son because of a little woman." ”
After listening to his father-in-law's persuasion, the emperor frowned and said, "What do you know! Have you forgotten the surname Tao? ”
The father-in-law heard a flash of light in his eyes, and then said slowly: "Your Majesty, the slave thinks it's nothing, Tao is a criminal minister, but Tao Li'er is the daughter of the same general, you were tolerant of letting her return to Tongfu, you should have thought of such a day, besides, those people back then have disappeared, and the worries in your heart will not happen." ”
Hearing this, the emperor glanced at his father-in-law, "It would be nice if it was really what you said, but I always have some ups and downs in my heart, and I always feel that something is going to happen." ”
"Your Majesty, the eldest lady of the Tongfu Mansion, Tao Li'er, has sent silver into the palace."
A small father-in-law came in from outside, and the emperor glanced at him and nodded, "I know, let her go when I take the silver." ”
The emperor didn't want to see her, even if she was here to deliver silver, Gonggong Li stayed aside and didn't say a word.
The little princess who came to report was ordered to leave, and the emperor looked gloomy and uncertain, and was about to write to handle the government affairs, when suddenly a person came in outside again, but this person was the palace maid next to the queen mother.
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother wants to see the Emperor."
The emperor was still puzzled by the arrival of the palace maid, after all, after so many years, the queen mother can be said to be a devout Buddha, sometimes he will be blocked by the palace maid group when he goes to visit in person, this time he is willing to participate in the birthday banquet is already surprising, and now he still wants to see him?
I was puzzled, but the emperor still got up a little happily, "Drive Cining Palace!" ”
Outside the palace, Tao Li'er didn't have any surprise on her face after listening to the words of the little father-in-law in front of her, she just nodded and smiled generously and decently, "In this case, the little girl will no longer disturb the emperor, and the emperor has every opportunity, and there is really no need to see a small role like me." ”
Tao Li'er brought a soft knife in her words, she knew that she was in a hurry to say this, and the little father-in-law in front of her would not really pass her words to the ninety-five lords in the palace intact.
After Tao Li'er said this, she didn't care what the person's reaction was, she turned around and left, Xiang'er followed Tao Li'er with some caution, until she went out of the palace gate, Xiang'er glanced at the back, and then breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Miss, it's really scary!" And why didn't the emperor see you, obviously you have done so much for the court, approaching to help refugees build houses out of your own pocket, and now you are sending silver to the treasury, but you don't want to see you, hum! ”
Tao Li'er smiled lightly when she heard this, "People are the emperor, where can we little people figure it out, besides, I didn't help the court at the beginning, I was accumulating virtue for ourselves." I don't care if I appreciate it or not, anyway, this 'dowry' is sent out, and it belongs to His Royal Highness the King. ”
After Tao Li'er finished speaking, she got into the carriage neatly.
The emperor went to Cining Palace, but was stopped by the palace maid beside the queen mother.
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has not finished reading today's scriptures, and I ask the Emperor to rest in the palace for a while, and when the Queen Mother finishes reciting the Buddhist scriptures, she will come out to see the Emperor."
The palace maid said respectfully, and the emperor's expression was faint when she heard this, "The queen mother is dedicated to worshiping the Buddha, and I also know that I am waiting here, don't disturb the queen mother's worship of the Buddha." ”
The emperor's words could not be heard happy or angry, the palace maid respectfully retreated, the emperor himself sat on the throne, and the tea maid stepped forward to pour the tea.
The emperor didn't say a word, his eyes looked straight ahead calmly, but he muttered to himself in his heart: The queen mother is abnormal today, but she doesn't know what way to deal with him.
At tea time, my father-in-law's singing voice was already heard outside, "The Queen Mother has arrived!" ”
When the emperor put down the teacup in his hand, a graceful old man had already come in outside the door, and the emperor quickly got up, "The son of the queen mother asks for peace." ”
The Queen Mother smiled, held the emperor's hand, and pulled the emperor to sit on a high position with kind eyebrows, "The emperor came early, and the mourning family is early." ”
The emperor shook his head, "It's rare that the queen mother is willing to see her sons, and the sons should come over quickly to ask for peace, but for so many years, the queen mother has been snubbed, and the sons are not filial." ”
The emperor's words were full of deference, and the queen mother's eyes flowed, and she raised her hand to call the palace maid to go down, "Bring the longan lotus seeds cooked by the mourning family." ”
