Chapter 71: Meet the Queen Mother and get her mercy
Suddenly curious, I wanted to go back and confirm that Hua Zhen's face had recovered as before, and when she saw Mama Cao turn around, she only responded lightly: "Let's go down." ”
said that he waited for the carriage to stop, and then followed Mama Cao directly down.
Mama Cao had to suppress the doubts in her heart and helped Hua Zhen to the palace gate.
Because she herself is the teaching grandmother in the palace, the female official of the fourth grade, she is still serving in Weiyang Palace, even if she follows Hua Zhen to the Shen Mansion now, she can still enter the palace.
The guards guarding the door saw Mama Cao and Hua Zhen very respectfully, and let them in.
With Mama Cao in the palace, it was naturally much more convenient than when she entered the palace by herself, and followed Mama Cao all the way to Cining Palace, where the Queen Mother lived.
After all, I followed the Queen Mother to serve, and Mama Cao still treated me very well to the Queen Mother's schedule, seeing that the time was about the same, the Queen Mother had just come out of the Buddha at the moment, and she led Hua Zhen to wait at the gate of Cining Palace.
The palace maid who was waiting in Cining Palace saw it, and hurriedly went in to report to the palace maid in charge inside.
Chang Mama, the palace maid in charge of Cining Palace, has a very good relationship with Mama Cao, and when she heard Mama Cao coming, she sent the little palace maid out to tell her that the Queen Mother was still worshipping the Buddha and asked them to wait a little.
He turned around and went to the Buddha Hall of Cining Palace.
The Queen Mother knelt on the futon, chanting very piously with her eyes closed, listening to the sound of footsteps, she couldn't help but speak: "What's wrong?"
Mama Chang saw that the Queen Mother's body did not move, and immediately bowed forward: "Back to the Queen Mother, Cao Min led the Qinghe County Lord to come to the Queen Mother to say goodbye, and now she is waiting outside Cining Palace? I don't know if the Queen Mother wants to see her?"
Hearing this, the Queen Mother opened her eyes, but her body didn't move for half a minute: "Lord Qinghe?" is that girl from the Hua family?"
"Exactly. Mama Chang responded respectfully.
Seeing the Queen Mother stretching out her hand, she hurriedly stepped forward to support.
"I haven't seen this girl since the mercy star left, and it's been more than a year, and I heard that she just came back from the previous one. The Queen Mother said as she walked outside.
Mama Chang helped the Queen Mother to respond: "Said that she came back the previous one, yesterday the emperor summoned her into the palace, and Prince Li mentioned on the side that the emperor promised to give her a county lord, and the emperor gave her a Qinghe county lord." ”
Hearing Mama Chang mention Prince Li, the Queen Mother showed a smile on her face: "Kuang'er is like this, she always can't see a woman lonely, and she still thinks about the old relationship with Hua Yan, otherwise, with his temperament, how can he go back to take care of this idle matter." ”
"What the Queen Mother said is that Prince Li is a kind-hearted person, seeing that the Hua family is now unmanned, and the county lord lives in the Marquis of Ningguo's mansion. I can't rest assured, so I asked her for this letter, in the final analysis, the prince is too kind-hearted, but good people always have good rewards, if General Huayan has knowledge, he will definitely thank the prince for his kindness. ”
"Not really. The Queen Mother said and sighed lightly: "In the end, this child is also a bitter life, the Jin State Mansion looks at her foreign family, but this grandmother has no blood relationship with her, today Cao Min led her to ask for peace to the mourning family, I am afraid that I want to find a backer for her." Maybe Zuo is just a child, and he was also filial when he was in the palace, so let them in. ”
The Queen Mother said and sat on the soft couch, half-leaning, and waved her hand.
Mama Chang immediately understood, retreated, and sent the little palace maid guarding the door to invite Hua Zhen and Mama Cao in.
As soon as she entered the door, Hua Zhen knelt at the door and bowed to the Queen Mother, and then she fell to the ground: "Zhen'er heard that the Queen Mother recently ordered someone to copy the Lotus Sutra and prepare it for the Bodhisattva's case, so she copied it overnight and took it over, and I don't know if I can get into the eyes of the Bodhisattva." ”
As he spoke, he took the copy of the Lotus Sutra from the hands of Mama Cao behind him and offered it with both hands.
The Queen Mother nodded, and Mama Chang on the side hurriedly stepped forward to take it and put it on the sons in front of the Queen Mother.
"I heard that you returned to Beijing the day before yesterday?" asked the Queen Mother casually while looking through the copied scriptures.
Hua Zhen knelt on the ground with a respectful expression: "Yes, I just arrived in the capital before." ”
"In the past, you lived in the palace most of the time, but now you are still used to living in the Shen Mansion? If there is anything that you are not used to, the things you lived in the palace at that time are still there, so you will ask someone to send them to the Shen Mansion, and the province will change everything at once. ”
Listening to the Queen Mother's words, Hua Zhen knew that the Queen Mother was giving her grace, saying that this was just to let her know, the purpose of her coming today The Queen Mother was clear in her heart, and she was willing to ask her to lean on, but it was limited to some small things.
Immediately returned respectfully: "Zhen'er thanked the Queen Mother for her concern, although it was the first time she lived in the Jin State Mansion, the eldest aunt still cared about this Zhen'er, and she had everything she could use, and there was nothing she was not used to." The only thing I find inconvenient is that I can't serve in front of the Queen Mother, when Zhen'er lived in the palace, my aunt often said that if you are free in the future, you must be filial to the Queen Mother, even if you copy the scriptures. ”
The Queen Mother nodded, closed the Lotus Sutra, and then raised her head to meet Hua Zhen's gaze: "When you were in the palace, copying scriptures was the most popular among all princesses and county lords. There is not a single typo in the neat work, the best thing is to have patience, if you are asked to stand on that day, you can really stand for a day, and you will be replaced by others, but I am afraid that you will not be able to stand for a long time. ”
"It is a blessing for Zhen'er to be able to copy scriptures for the Queen Mother, and Zhen'er has to do her best. ”
"Since you have this heart, it is also good, if you are free in the future, you will often come to Cining Palace, copy the scriptures and offer them in front of the Bodhisattva, which is also a merit. The Queen Mother's expression was faint, but she was already a little happy when she heard her tone.
Mama Chang and Mama Cao on the side couldn't help but sweat.
Mama Cao is also not sure that Hua Zhen can still get into the eyes of the Queen Mother, if the Queen Mother doesn't like it, I'm afraid that she will blame herself for bringing everyone to Cining Palace, and now listening to what the Queen Mother said, she is relieved.
Since it is to ask Hua Zhen to enter the palace from time to time, it is a side response, and the Queen Mother plans to make decisions for Hua Zhen in the future.
It is really good for Hua Zhen to get the words of the Queen Mother.
I can't help but feel happy for her.
As he was talking, he heard the little palace maid outside come in, lowered her head and said, "Queen Mother Qi, King Qi and Princess Qi are outside, saying that they are coming to greet the Queen Mother." ”
As soon as she heard Princess Qi, the Queen Mother's eyes couldn't help but glance at Hua Zhen, and her voice was a little colder: "What are they doing?"
The palace maid didn't know how to answer, she just lowered her head, but fortunately, the queen mother didn't expect her to answer anything.
