Chapter 172: Confusing Truth with Falsehood
As soon as these words came out, everyone present had different expressions.
The expressions on the faces of the princes were even more colorful.
Emperor Jianyuan's expression was awe-inspiring, "Good and dignified, how could birds and people suddenly disappear, I ask you, who was the last person to come into contact with the parrot?" ”
Eunuch: "The last person to come into contact with the parrot, well... It seems to be Huang Gonggong next to the prince, at that time Huang Gonggong said that the parrot was dirty, and it should be cleaned up so as not to stain everyone's eyes. The parrot is gone, and Huang Gonggong doesn't know where to go......"
King Kang: "Brother Huang, Huang Dechang is the chief eunuch beside you, how can he not be measured at all, knowing that his father is going to give the parrot to the emperor's grandmother, and he also carries a bird out for a walk, if you delay your father's gift, can you afford it?!" ”
Pei Xuanling didn't have the time to quarrel with King Kang, just thinking about why Huang Dechang hadn't come yet.
"It's a slave, isn't it, let the emperor and the queen mother wait for a long time...... Fortunately, at this time, Huang Dechang came in with a bird cage sweating profusely,
Jiang Shishi looked at Huang Dechang.
I saw that Huang Dechang was still holding the gilded Fushou pattern golden pavilion-style birdcage in his hand.
And in that birdcage, there is still the gorgeous golden parrot.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Shishi's expression changed slightly.
This Huang Dechang, how did he bring this parrot in again?
Pei Xuanling, who was on the side, saw the doubts in the woman's eyes, so he leaned into the woman's ear and said in a voice that they could hear: "Gu originally prepared a golden parrot for the Queen Mother, but later I heard that my father gave me a golden parrot, so I sent something else instead." ”
"Now the parrot that Huang Dechang brought in has been replaced by the parrot that was kept in solitary care."
If Jiang Liangdi hadn't been confused and handed over the gift to the person who registered at the door, he wouldn't have found out that the parrot that his father gave to the Queen Mother was deliberately bad.
Therefore, it doesn't hurt to tell Jiang Liangdi about this.
Hearing this, Jiang Shishi breathed a sigh of relief.
So that's the case, then she's relieved.
She had just taken a closer look, and the parrot's eyes were surrounded by a circle of white nude skin, and the beak was flesh-colored, and the iris was brown, which was too similar to the original one......
It should be able to confuse the real with the fake!
After telling Jiang Liangdi the secret, Pei Xuanling continued to sit upright, looking at the golden parrot in Huang Dechang's hand.
Golden yellow represents imperial power and has always been a royal color, so he chose a golden parrot at that time, which was carefully trained and intended to be dedicated to the Queen Mother as a birthday gift.
Later, he learned that it was the same as his father's gift, and he felt pity at the time.
Unexpectedly, now it comes in handy!
At that time, when he sent Huang Dechang to the East Palace to fetch birds, he was afraid that it would take a lot of time to come and go, and he would not be able to catch up.
Fortunately, Jiang Liangdi's delivery of glasses was delayed for a lot of time, and although Huang Dechang came a little late, it was still timely.
The father has always been filial to the Queen Mother, even if there is some discord with the Queen Mother, he will not let people teach bad parrots and shame the royal family in public.
Moreover, the most taboo thing for his father is that others say that he is not filial to the queen mother.
Someone must have seen through this and deliberately took advantage of it to make trouble.
Once the parrot said in public, "The Queen Mother is not my biological mother", the image of the filial son that the father and emperor worked hard to manage will collapse in an instant.
And the Queen Mother's birthday was organized by him under the leadership of the Ministry of Rites.
At that time, my father will definitely think that he is making trouble, and the consequences can be imagined.
Speaking of which, Meat Bun helped him again......
"Little thing, congratulate the Queen Mother on her birthday." Huang Dechang carried the bird cage and spoke to the parrot in the cage.
The parrot stood in the cage and opened its mouth and began to say auspicious words.
"Queen Mother Chitose Chitose Chitose."
"The Queen Mother is auspicious."
"I wish the Queen Mother a blessing like the East China Sea, and a longevity than Nanshan ......"
These auspicious words, when spoken from people's mouths, are considered very common by everyone.
But if it comes out of a parrot's mouth, everyone thinks it's strange.
The Queen Mother was amused by the parrot and laughed, "This parrot is good, the words are clear, and it is just right for the mourning family to take it back to relieve boredom." ”
Emperor Jianyuan: "If the queen mother likes it, I didn't let people train it for nearly a year in vain." ”
Queen Mother: "The emperor has a heart." ”
Next, Huang Dechang raised his hand to wipe the sweat from the corner of his forehead, "This little thing was a cage of dirty things before, and the little eunuch who took care of it didn't know where it went, and the slave didn't dare to hand it over to others easily, so he had to take it to the lake and clean the cage." ”
"Such a wash, almost delayed the hour, fortunately, the slave rushed in time, and the queen mother also likes this little thing, otherwise the slave will be guilty......"
After hearing this, the Queen Mother smiled and said: "It's a sin, you are so careful, the mourning family will reward you for a while." ”
"Little things, you are small things, your whole family is small things......" At this moment, the parrot still talked back to Huang Dechang.
When everyone in the audience heard this, they burst into laughter.
When everyone was laughing, Jiang Shishi couldn't laugh.
Because, when the parrot uttered a series of auspicious words, she lost her appetite and began to dizzy in her head, and her whole body became uncomfortable.
But the Queen Mother's birthday banquet was not over yet, so she could only endure it and barely squeeze out a smile.
When the parrot in the book said such rebellious words, there was no such joy in the temple.
According to the plot in the book, Emperor Jianyuan Long Yan was furious and scolded the prince in public that he couldn't even hold a banquet.
If it weren't for the queen mother helping the prince say a few words, Emperor Jianyuan would have reined in.
Moreover, Emperor Jianyuan also suspected that the crown prince wanted to usurp the throne.
That's why he deliberately let people teach bad parrots and ruin his reputation in public.
Since then, there has been a huge estrangement between Emperor Jianyuan and the crown prince!
Pei Xuanling glanced at the woman beside him, and saw that Jiang Liangdi hadn't eaten anymore, and her thick eyebrows moved slightly.
It's just that when a woman is outside, she will be restrained and more reserved when she eats, not at all like in front of him, and she doesn't care about the image of a woman at all.
After everyone finished offering the gifts, everyone began to taste the meal.
While everyone was eating, the dancing girls of the temple danced in the middle of the temple.
Jiang Shishi had a white face and pretended to enjoy the song and dance.
In fact, I already have a splitting headache, and I don't know what the dancers are dancing with.
It wasn't until half an hour later that the birthday feast ended.
After Emperor Jianyuan and the Empress Dowager took the lead in leaving, the princes and ministers gradually dispersed.
Chun Xing stepped forward to help Jiang Shishi get up, and when she felt the sweat on the little master's palm, her body stiffened slightly, "Little master......"
Jiang Shishi held Chun Xing back hard, glanced at Chun Xing, and motioned to Chun Xing not to be silent.
The master and servant walked out of the Baohe Palace, and they didn't bother to greet anyone, so they walked quickly to the East Palace.
Several ministers were greeting the prince, and the prince glanced at Jiang Liangdi in the distance, and saw that the woman was in a hurry, and raised his thick eyebrows slightly.
After a few casual greetings with the ministers, Pei Xuanling also took the opportunity to go back to the East Palace.
The man sat on the chariot and looked at Jiang Liangdi's master and servant who were walking in front.
Although Jiang Liangdi's pace is fast, it seems to be a bit vain.
Sure enough, the next moment, I saw Jiang Liangdi's body crooked slightly, and she fell straight into Chunxing's arms.
