Chapter Twenty-Nine: True and False Comforts
Opposite the Queen of Nanxian was Mrs. Zhou. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Because she is older and Zhou Shaoyang's biological mother, she has the highest status among female dependents.
When she saw Queen Nanxian, she felt familiar, but she really couldn't remember where she had seen it, so she simply stopped thinking about it and concentrated on dealing with today's events.
"The queen has come from afar... This glass of wine, the old man respects you..."Old Madam Zhou was the first to speak.
She is not an inner woman, and her status is extremely high, so she spoke first, firstly, to give the queen of Nanxian the queen, and secondly... It is also the meaning of the royal family to suppress the queen of Nanxian.
Queen Nanxian pouted indifferently, she led the troops all the year round, and she couldn't get used to the soft knives of these women in the house.
"The old lady is old, this wine... Ben won't drink with you. It's Concubine Min... You and I are old acquaintances, aren't you going to have a drink with Ben General?" she directly rejected Mrs. Zhou, lost her face, and pointed the finger at Concubine Min...
Min Guifei maintained this beautiful smile on her face, but her fingers pinching the wine glass turned white from excessive force...
"The queen is an honored guest, and the concubine should give you a drink. It's just that the concubine is stupid, but she can't remember where she has seen the queen..." However, Queen Nanxian claimed to be a general, obviously extremely proud of her status as a general. She just called her queen and saw how she reacted...
Are you pretending to be stupid?
Fu Shi sneered in his heart.
After a glass of wine, Fu Shi said again: "Concubine Min thinks that it is a noble person who forgets things. The relationship between you and me..."Fu Shi said, remembering that because of Concubine Min's mother and son, the first queen was deposed... Then Cheng Guogong's family was beheaded all over the house...
Xu is the reason for returning to her homeland, Rao is that she has always been as hard as iron, but the past is repeated in her heart, and painful memories swallow her...
It was easy for Fu to suppress his hatred before he took back what he said.
She looked around the hall, and most of the women in the family had enmity with her...
This feud... She'll always report it!
In the banquet, when people saw Fu's words, some were relieved, such as Concubine Min, and some were curious but unwilling to make trouble, such as Mrs. Zhou...
But...
"Oh... Is there an old relationship between Queen Nanxian and Concubine Min? Why doesn't the palace know about this? I wonder if Concubine Min can solve the confusion of the palace?"
When everyone thought that this matter was going to be turned over, Queen Li asked such a sentence as if she was afraid that the world would not be chaotic...
"What a fool!" the women despised in their hearts.
Queen Li has always been unpopular, not to mention her low background, and she offended many nobles in the draft that year. And most of these noble ladies are from the families of these noble and powerful wives...
At this time, Queen Li sat down at her head to greet her in front of a large number of people who did not like her, and it was inevitable that she was a little fluttering in her heart. At this time, there is no doubt that there is an element of wanting to see the jokes of Concubine Min.
Compared with Queen Li's villain's face, Concubine Min is much more generous and dignified.
"The queen mother misunderstood, between the concubine and the queen of Nanxian... If you talk about the old fate, it is that the concubine has been driving for many years, and I have heard His Majesty mention the name of Queen Nanxian many times, and I admire it very much..."Concubine Min held the wine glass again, and then saluted Queen Nanxian: "I see you today, the concubine is very honored..."
Driving for years?
Empress Li snorted coldly without a trace. Then he looked at Queen Nanxian. She spoke to save face, and now she naturally won't give her face again!
Queen Li waited to see Concubine Min's jokes, but she didn't want to, Queen Nanxian became easy to talk at this time... Boldly picked up the wine glass and drank it all...
Queen Nanxian came here, and it was the idea of making peace. The prince of Liao she gave birth to was only twelve years old, and Wen Taowu was proficient in everything.
This time, Queen Nanxian intends to make friends between the two countries, so she naturally wants to marry a pivotal family for her son, and it is best to ... is the princess born to Emperor Chengshun... In this case, Queen Nanxian should stammer with her, the queen!
She is the queen mother of all princesses! But this queen of Nanxian is a person who has no eyesight!
Empress Li gritted her silver teeth and stopped talking.
However, after Concubine Min and Queen Nanxian drank two glasses of wine, they spoke a lot smoother, and naturally talked about kissing.
Queen Nanxian intends to marry the princess, so naturally she will not make any more awkward trouble at this time, but things cannot be done overnight. It was because the women were half chatting and half talking about business, and after a luncheon, most of each other's conditions were well known.
Queen Nanxian is willing to marry the noble princess of Dasheng with countless gold and jade things as a dowry.
And the meaning of Concubine Min, there is naturally no shortage of gold and jade things Dasheng, if the queen of Nanxian is willing to clear the garrison on the border of Dasheng for thirty miles, so that Dasheng can see the sincerity of the Liao State, then... It will be a good story for the noble princess of Dasheng to marry the noble prince of Liao...
Queen Nanxian and Concubine Min did not make their words clear, and this conversation was just a test of each other's attitudes.
There have been things about marriage since ancient times, but most of them are selected by the daughter of the clan or the daughter of the minister, and she is named a princess to marry. Now that Queen Nanxian wants to ask to marry a real princess, she naturally has to show enough sincerity.
There are many wars on the border between the two countries, and peace is what everyone wants, but Dasheng can't be wronged and lose his national prestige...
During the night banquet, Emperor Chengshun and a cadre of powerful ministers met with the queen of Nanxian and the envoys of the Liao State.
At this time, Mrs. Zhou had already returned home.
She guessed that Emperor Chengshun and Queen Nanxian would talk in detail about this issue many times. But the sincerity of the war is still there.
She's not afraid of not being able to talk.
It's just that...
"I always thought she looked familiar, and... At today's banquet, many women seem to know this person, you should pay more attention to these two days, what do other people's families say..."Mrs. Zhou explained to the grandmother beside her in the carriage.
Mrs. Zhou's grandmother naturally doesn't only know how to serve people, and she is also very good at finding out the news, so she nodded immediately.
The next day, before the two countries had yet to discuss the matter of peace and affinity, the true identity of Queen Nansen had spread all over Dasheng Kyoto...
“... Is she really Fu's?" asked Mrs. Zhou.
Mama nodded: "Now it's spread all over Kyoto, but... The people in the palace don't say anything, and everyone only dares to say that they look alike..."
Mrs. Zhou played with Yu Ruyi in her hand, for a long time, and said: "It's Fushi... She was... It was indeed a flight to Liao... I really brought her back..."
Mrs. Zhou sighed infinitely, this Fu Shi is back... I don't know what the plan is. Moreover... On the day of the destruction of the Chengguo family, Hua'er played a key role...
It's not good...
"The old lady... Xiangye has also been checking on her for the past two days..."Mama said again.
"Who are you looking for?" asked Old Madam Zhou.
"Chafford... That is, the Queen of the Southern Immortals!" Mama replied again.
Old Madam Zhou was silent for a while, and said, "That's it, he can't know nothing... Then you can leave it alone... I said she was familiar... I didn't see it many years ago... I think I've seen it recently..."Old Madam Zhou thought back to the faces she had seen recently, several times... The man's name came to his lips, but he couldn't say anything...
It seems that she is really old...
"You follow me all day, help me think about it, who among the people I've seen recently, does anyone look like her?" asked the people around her. The henchmen around her are also the people who went to the banquet with her yesterday. It stands to reason that she's seen a few of the people she's seen...
Mama, as a subordinate, didn't raise her eyes yesterday to see the dignity of Queen Nanxian... I really can't think of it.
It's Bing'er...
"The old lady... The slave maid thought of someone, and I don't know whether to talk about it or not..."Bing'er said worriedly, yesterday she inadvertently glanced at the Queen of Nanxian, and she was surprised, and she thought that she had seen it wrong all day...
Hearing the old lady say this at this time, Bing'er suspected that she was not mistaken, but... Do they look alike?
Old Madam Zhou raised her eyes and glanced at Bing'er who was standing beside her, most of the maids around her were decent and generous, and it was rare to have such a moment of pettiness.
"I told you to think, you thought of it, just say it..."Old Madam Zhou said.
Bing'er was still very worried: "Yes... The slave maid vaguely remembered that the maiden sister of the Ninth Young Lady... The sound and body shape are similar to the Queen of Nanxian... Moreover... And they are all martial men..."
That Nie Chen?
That Assassin!
Old Madam Zhou suddenly remembered.
"Yes... Yes... The slave thinks so!" Mama hurriedly followed. ushered in Mrs. Zhou's uncertain gaze...
Bing'er is still very nervous, she doesn't know about the assassins... But she understands that saying that the righteous sister of the Ninth Young Lady is like the Queen of Nanxian is tantamount to saying that the Ninth Young Lady collaborates with the enemy... This pot, Bing'er didn't dare to carry it, the crime of collaborating with the enemy, even if it was a suspicion, Bing'er didn't dare to put it on the ninth young lady...
But she had to say... Bing'er looked at Mrs. Zhou, and the hand that played with Yu Ruyi was no longer as leisurely as Shicai, but held Yu Ruyi virtually, as if she was about to fall off accidentally...
"The old lady... It's just that there are two points of similarity..."Bing'er said again.
Old Madam Zhou shook her head: "No... They are all martial... At least three points..."She paused for a while, and then sneered: "Wait for Xiangye to come home and ask him to come to see me." I said, "He must know what I don't know." I'll see how long he's going to hide it from me!"
Bing'er said: "Old lady... Recently, Xiangye has been busy, and it was only late at night..."
"I'll wait!" said Mrs. Zhou.
That night, the old lady really waited for Xiangye to return home, so she immediately summoned Fu'an Hall for questioning.
"Mother..."As soon as Zhou Shaoyang entered the main hall, he saw Mrs. Zhou sitting upright in the hall, waiting for him.
"Why doesn't Mother rest?" Zhou Shaoyang asked, after saluting, sitting down by himself, taking a sip of warm tea.
"The Zhou family is in great trouble, you and I can't sleep!" said Mrs. Zhou.
Like an old lady who is angry with her son. However, Zhou Shaoyang knew that no matter what, his mother would not be angry with him.
"Jiulang is now serving in the Hanlin Academy, and Chongyan has also experienced in the palace, and the Zhou family is in full swing... Why did Mother say this?" Zhou Shaoyang asked.
Old Madam Zhou sneered, looked at Zhou Shaoyang, and said, "So... What are you doing with Queen Chanan? She's a foreign envoy... Doesn't you need to worry so much, right?"
Zhou Shaoyang was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "Mother is sharp-eyed, I really can't hide anything from you..."
"Less nonsense!" Old Madam Zhou said sternly. "The assassin... And Queen Nanxian... That is, Fushi, they are all here. You've hidden it from me?"
After Mrs. Zhou asked, she couldn't stop using her hand to follow her breath... Such a big thing... With such a big knife hanging over her head in the Zhou family, she was relieved to hear him say that it was okay?
Send away a small one, the old one comes to the door...
The enmity between the Fu family and the Zhou family... That's not a trivial matter, now that she is a king, if she wants to take revenge, wouldn't the Zhou family be... Isn't it at stake?
"What is Mother talking about? When they come, they come..."Zhou Shaoyang straightened his collar and smiled indifferently: "The assassin is young, it's just a game, and now that he sees blood, he is naturally scared and hides." As for... Fu Shi, now that she has become the king of Liao, she may remember the days when she fled in embarrassment... Now it's just a matter of returning home and showing off, does she really want to do anything?"
Zhou Shaoyang's tone was full of contempt, and he didn't take Fu and the others in his eyes at all, but after listening to it, Mrs. Zhou still didn't let go. "She's back home? How can you see it? Now she's leading the war or the end of the war... In case of... I mean, in case, she asks our emperor... Take us..."
"Mother is too worried..."Zhou Shaoyang said: "Today's Dasheng, the soldiers are strong and strong, although they have just experienced the war, but against the Liao State, we may not be able to beat it... Peacefully ending the war is for the sake of the people, but if she doesn't want peace... Dasheng may not be afraid of Liao. Moreover... Don't hide it from her mother, when the child goes to the northwest, the combat power of the king of Pingxi is not weak, he has no objection, and when the time comes, he is afraid that a king of Pingxi can solve her..."
"If the Liao State is really so easy to fight, when the Fu clan won the prince of Liao, he would not be worshiped as the female god of war by Dasheng..."Old Madam Zhou suddenly said with infinite emotion. In the past, Fu was able to win when fighting with the powerful Liao State, and today... She is so powerful, and she is such a powerful enemy country, it will inevitably make people frustrated...
No wonder yesterday, Concubine Min had to pretend to be stupid and didn't know Fushi... This is for fear of causing panic among the people after revealing her identity...
Zhou Shaoyang looked at his mother who was sitting quietly at the top, he had to be, his mother was really old...
