Chapter 019: Advice
Sang Yan went to the Hall of Eternal Longevity.
Yongshou Hall is the residence of the Empress Dowager Pei Yiqing.
I could smell the floating Buddha incense from afar.
"I am the princess of the Marquis of Zhongyi, Sang Yan, and I have something very important to see the Queen Mother."
Sang Yan told the eunuch who was guarding outside the hall his identity and intention.
The eunuch guarding the door immediately went to the palace to spread the word, and after a while, let her in.
Sang Yan thanked him.
After entering, his eyes did not squint, and his face was straight.
"The courtier, Jiang Sang, has seen the Queen Mother-"
She knelt down and saluted.
After a while, the scrutinizing gaze of the superior fell on him.
Heavy as a jack.
The fragrance of Buddha in the hall is stronger.
It is estimated that because of the incense, the temperature is much higher than outside.
It's stuffy and oppressive.
It makes people feel bad.
"Get up. Sit. What do you want to see the mourners? β
Empress Dowager Pei's voice was very soft.
It's the same as the original owner's memory.
She secretly raised her eyes and saw Empress Dowager Pei sitting in the first place, with silver hair, kind eyebrows and kind eyes, wide heart and fat body, and Buddha beads on her neck and hands, simple and honest, like an old man who devoted herself to worshipping Buddha.
But it's just like that.
Buddha's mouth and snake heart, hiding a knife in his smile, is often this kind of person.
Sang Yan gathered his thoughts, did not get up and take a seat, but knelt down, and solemnly replied: "Back to the Queen Mother, the courtiers have two things, one is to ask for guilt, and the other is to offer advice. β
Empress Dowager Pei was surprised: "Oh? What sin please? What do you offer? β
Sang Yan said: "The courtiers came to the palace, causing rumors to spread in the palace, staining the emperor's holy name, and even involving a concubine into the cold palace. β
Empress Dowager Pei knew what Sang Yan was talking about, so she didn't make an evaluation, but said calmly: "Go on." β
Sang Yan continued: "The courtiers knew that the harem of the previous dynasty had no heirs for a long time, so they came to offer advice in order to atone for their sins. β
When Empress Dowager Pei heard this, her calm expression finally changed.
She got up, got out of her seat, and came to help her in person, smiling kindly: "Good boy, get up and talk back." β
Sang Yan: "......"
Sure enough, it is still the emperor's heir who is influential.
She was pulled to sit on the couch and sat with Empress Dowager Pei, as close as a grandchild.
The other palace people had already retreated at the signal of Empress Dowager Pei.
There is only a young palace maid wearing a begonia-colored palace dress, who should be a confidant, and she is still by her side.
Sang Yan whispered: "Queen Mother, the way the courtiers want to say may be a little arrogant, and I hope the Queen Mother will forgive her sins." β
Empress Dowager Pei patted her hands, smiling comfortingly with a little encouragement: "Don't be afraid." The mourning family knows that you are worried about the emperor's heir, and you are a good boy. Say it. β
Sang Yan got the guarantee, so he said: "The emperor can't get close to women, so the courtiers thought, can you let the emperor desecrate, get the dragon essence, and put it into the concubine's body with the help of hoses and other toolsββ"
She briefly explained the method, blushing and a little ashamed.
Empress Dowager Pei was different, her face became solemn, and she said slowly: "Maybe you can give it a try." β
When Sang Yan saw her say this, she felt that her goal had been achieved, so she got up, knelt down again, and pretended to be mournful and said: "I also hope that the Queen Mother will forgive the sins of the courtiers for the sake of my advice, and also release those concubines who were sent to the cold palace." The courtier's life is fierce, her status is lowly, she never dares to think about anything else, and she begged the queen mother to let the courtiers out of the palace. The courtiers are willing to be widowed for their deceased husbands for a lifetime, and never marry. β
When Empress Dowager Pei heard the last sentence, she couldn't help but glance at her more.
The woman is young and beautiful, but she is famous, but it is a pity.
"Go ahead. The mourning family agreed. β
"Empress Dowager Xie."
Sang Yan withdrew from the Hall of Eternal Longevity with a grateful face.
Silence returned to the temple.
The palace maid in begonia-colored palace clothes listened to the whole process, and her face was more solemn than that of Empress Dowager Pei: "In this palace, everyone knows that the emperor likes her, and if you do this, I am afraid that you will be separated from the emperor." Since the regent's incident, the emperor has imprisoned the queen, and he is far away from you, according to the slaves and maids, it really shouldn't be ......"
Empress Dowager Pei raised her hand and waved it lightly, stopped her words, and sighed lightly: "Bodhisattva beadsβ"
Bozhu stepped forward: "The slave is here." β
"Don't be in a hurry."
Empress Dowager Pei looked at her lovingly, twisting the Buddha beads, and said, "Some things have to be done slowly. Whether she stays or not, we have to see again. β
Bozhu bowed his head and replied, "Yes." β
Silence returned to the temple.
The incense of Buddha is getting stronger and stronger.
Empress Dowager Pei was surrounded by Buddha incense, closed her eyes slightly, and said, "Go and pass on the people from the Qin Heavenly Prison." β
Qin Tianjian
Wan Zhang was drunk on the couch, with a bunch of wine jars at his feet.
The Bozhu who came to summon him was very disgusted, frowned, and called him a few times: "Prison? Lord Wanjian? The Queen Mother wants to see you. β
Wan Zhang was so drunk that he couldn't wake up at all.
The other subordinate officials were afraid that he would cause trouble for Qin Tianjian, so they stepped forward to call people, but they still couldn't wake up.
Bozhu looked annoyed, and said solemnly: "I have heard that the ten thousand eunuchs of Qin Tianjian are drinking all day long and don't ask about business, but now it seems that the rumors are true!" β
"The palace orders your sins."
The subordinate officials bowed their heads one after another to apologize.
There are also subordinate officials who say good things: "Last night, Wan Jian was watching the sky at night, saying that it was a good star and a good mood, so he got drunk." β
Bozhu didn't believe these nonsense, so he asked the little eunuch next to him to fetch a basin of water and splashed it on Wan Zhang's head.
Wan Zhang was splashed awake, raised his head, a vicissitudes of youth face, in fact, the bones are very beautiful, but unfortunately, it was all ruined by the downfall and decadence of temperament.
When he saw Bozhu, he wiped the water on his face, and said with a smile: "Lord Gong Ling, just go back and spread the word, and say that the crape myrtle star is hanging high, and there are red rays flashing in it, and the imperial heir is not far away." β
Did he calculate her intentions or the thoughts of the Queen Mother?
Bozhu hated this feeling of being seen through, and said unhappily: "Wan Jian Zheng, my words and deeds today will be conveyed to the Queen Mother, you are good at doing it yourself." β
Wan Zhang ignored it, struggled to climb onto the couch, and fell asleep.
Bozhu was so angry that he threw his sleeves away.
The other subordinate officers sighed:
"Wan Jian Zheng is indeed a genius among my generation, but if he acts so recklessly, sooner or later he will cause trouble for Qin Tianjian."
"In the blink of an eye, the new emperor has been on the throne for ten years, and Wan Jian is not saying that he is serving the emperor, but observes the celestial phenomena for the queen mother all day long, divining good fortune and evil, causing Qin Tianjian to lose his sacred heart, and he has fallen to this point, he is the sinner of Qin Tianjian!"
"No, you misunderstood, if it wasn't for Wan Jian observing the celestial phenomena at the beginning, he said that the new emperor was the reincarnation of Zi Weixing, and he was a generation of Ming Jun, and his surname was Pei in this world."
"How is that possible? Wan Jian Zheng still has this ability? I only know that it was the new emperor who united with the former military department Shangshu Xuan Hongguang and the commander of the forbidden army Rongye to besiege the regent Pei Zhen and secure the throne. β
"Shhhh You talk about this, don't want your head anymore? β
β¦β¦
At the same time
Sang Yan returned to the side hall of the Yuesang Palace.
She immediately asked people to pack their bags and prepare to leave the palace for the second time.
This movement quickly reached Sang Xiaoshui's ears.
While she sent someone to deliver a message to the emperor, she went over to stop her: "Sister, what are you doing?" It's only been a few days, why do you want to leave? β
Sang Yan said: "I left the palace on the order of the Queen Mother. β
She resigned, but deliberately said as if she had been kicked out of the palace.
In this way, for a period of time, the Sang family should not dare to send her in again, taking into account the attitude of the Queen Mother.
When Sang Wanshui heard the Queen Mother's order, his face also changed: "Why did the Queen Mother let you leave?" But you said the wrong thing in front of her? Don't be afraid, I've already told the emperor, you wait, the emperor will protectβ"
"You told the emperor? What are you telling him to do? β
Sang Yan felt that his plan might collapse, and he was angry, and his tone was anxious and heavy: "Sang Qiaoshui, I am your sister, I can help you compete for favor, but I am not a tool for you to compete for favor!" Are you sick? I said it all, I have a dead husband in my heart, I have a dead husband in my heart, and you still push me to the emperor's side, do you want to force me to death? β
Sang Qiaoshui was stunned for a moment when he saw her angry for the first time.
The two looked at each other speechlessly.
The atmosphere was awkward and heavy.
Until the voice of the little eunuch sounded: "Miss Sang, the emperor has summoned you over." β
