Chapter 53: Three Women in One Play

Because in order to force His Majesty to exonerate Shoucheng Hou, the Queen Mother actually asked Her Majesty to wait outside the Cining Palace, and asked the Queen Mother to save her, the Queen Mother angrily reprimanded Her Majesty and the Queen Mother, forcing them to hide in the West Garden.

- This matter is very uproar in Yanjing City, and the wife of the Marquis of Shoucheng, Liang, originally didn't believe it, but as she followed the female official all the way to the Qionghua Hall in Xiyuan and waited for the queen to summon her, she couldn't help but be worried.

"It's okay, the queen mother has been tortured by the Queen Mother a lot over the years, and she has never been angry with us."

Han, who had accompanied Liang, patted her arm.

Liang's face was a little relieved.

Yesterday, the holy decree came to let her son inherit the title of a general, and let her keep the edict, which really surprised and delighted her, but she was used to being cautious, and she was afraid that her family would become a raft for His Majesty and the Queen Mother, and now she knows that the Queen Mother, who has not even left the palace for seven years, was rushed to Xiyuan by the Queen Mother, how can she not be afraid?

Liang looked at Han and said softly:

"Go in later, if the mother attacks me, don't intercede for me."

Han laughed, they both entered the palace today wearing a five-Zhai crown that can only be worn by a first-class woman, the crown is a pair of pearls and golden phoenixes, and the peony is spelled out by pearls and gems below, and the following is a circle of flowers made of gold and jade gems, and they are wearing a red cloud shoulder through the sleeve robe, and the shoulders are draped in a crane style embroidered by the group, and there is a jade belt around the waist, and the Han family only has a headband made of pearls four fingers wide on Liang's head.

Wearing a robe of fate, standing in the royal garden, others seem to be rich and noble, but what kind of life the two of them have lived in half their lives is really not enough for outsiders.

There is a tree that winds out along the wall outside the Qionghua Palace, if it is summer, it will be full of white hydrangeas, and the petals blow down to the ground like jade dust, and the Qionghua Hall is also named because of this extremely rare flower tree.

It's just that now it's about to start winter, and the leaves of the flowers and trees have fallen off, but the stone wall that is clinging to it is revealed.

Looking at the wall, Han's voice was very low: "Liang Yuying, you are really a good sister-in-law, why did those officials of the Ministry of Rites send out the archway every year, why did they fall behind you?" What time do you think it is? Are you still here to show off your virtues? Cao Fengxi's waste is now abolished, and the only person who can support the lintel of Shoucheng Hou is you, Mrs. Hou, Your Majesty's holy decree clearly said, keep your edict because you have honored the old lady, you are filial piety for the Empress Dowager, and you have a clear conscience for this edict. Today, if you can't hold it and fall, what will you do if you let your two little cubs go down? Just settle down in Yanjing City? Don't think that you can take care of everything by yourself now, I, Han Ruowei, will come with you today to clearly protect you."

While talking, Han Ruowei twisted Liang Yuying's upper arm through the sleeves of her two bodies.

Liang Yuying's brows jumped, it seemed to be a little painful, but the expression on her face was a little relieved.

The two waited for about half an hour, and the female officials who were waiting beside the queen came to invite them into the palace. ….

The Qionghua Palace is also different from the Changchun Palace in the imperial city, there is neither a copper crane incense burner, nor many exquisite decorations that can show the dignity of the queen, and there are some books on the black oil shelves on the wall, as well as a few rare Western toys.

Out of the corner of her eye, the afterglow swept over the silver-sheathed sword placed on the table beside the bed, and Han Ruowei followed behind Liang Yuying and saluted the queen.

"The courtiers greet the queen."

Lin Miaozhen took the sword she just bought from outside the palace yesterday early in the morning to practice the sword, although she was a little rusty and clumsy, but she was very happy, because she had to bathe and change clothes to see people after practicing her sweaty face, which made the two of them wait outside for a long time.

"The two aunts haven't been to Xiyuan for a long time, right? There is a persimmon forest next to the Jiukong Yulian Bridge in the east, and the fruit is very beautiful, so let's go and see it later."

Hearing that the queen called their aunt first, both of them were sure in their hearts.

Acquaintance for so many years, for the Queen

Niangniang's temperament and character, the two of them often go in and out of the palace are known. Since the queen married Her Majesty, the Queen Mother has always picked her nose and eyes at the queen, but the queen has never been less in the morning and dusk for many years, and the queen mother has always picked up any good things in the palace. A few years ago, Jiangnan entered a certain extremely exquisite pearl crown, the top of the South China Sea pearl has the size of an inch and a half, His Majesty clearly rewarded this pearl crown to the queen, but when the two of them entered the palace, they saw that the pearl crown appeared in the Cining Palace, the queen mother did not wear the exquisite pearl crown snatched from her daughter-in-law, but took down the pearls on it one by one and rewarded them with these orders, only the top of the excellent bead was left by the queen mother herself.

This kind of thing that does not give the queen mother face at all, the queen mother does not know how much she has done over the years, but the queen mother has never been annoyed.

Once or twice may also be packed.

When His Majesty first ascended the throne, it may also be to stabilize the court for His Majesty.

But it has been almost seven years now, His Majesty has been dictatorial, the queen mother is still fulfilling her duties and has never overpassed, in the eyes of the two of them who have never been seen by the queen mother, the queen mother is really a frank and sincere person, unlike the two of them, one is loaded with wood, the other is loaded with wood, every day in the Cining Palace to listen to the queen mother say those self-pity nonsense, in fact, from the beginning is secretly a face of the old oil.

Let the two of them sit down, and Lin Miaozhen asked people to wash the persimmons she had just picked from the tree this morning:

"I got a total of two plates of persimmons, one of which was sent to His Majesty, and this plate was tasted by the two aunts."

The ripe persimmon has been frosted again, and the honey-like flesh is hidden under the clear skin, which makes people suck it and fall into the gods.

Liang Yuying and Han Ruowei have both practiced their acting skills in front of the Queen Mother for decades, one is obedient and the other is obedient, and the two of them are even careful when eating persimmons, and they don't forget to praise the sweetness of persimmons with words that don't seem to be rich.

Because she didn't have to ask the Queen Mother for peace in Xiyuan, Lin Miaozhen was very simple to wear, a lilac cloud dragon pattern placket with a standing collar showed that she was slender, and the two buckles at the top collar were pearls, which added a little bit of the young woman's agility and playfulness. ….

The black horse-faced skirt with the golden ruyi pattern shook down, and it was Lin Miaozhen who changed her sitting posture.

"Aunt, you don't have to worry about the rest of the matter, you have done your best for the Cao family over the years, I don't know how much mess you have cleaned up, Your Majesty knows it in your heart, and today Your Majesty summoned the two cousins to take a look at their schoolwork, after all, they are the ones who will support the lintel of the Cao family's room in the future."

This was said bluntly and simply, which made Liang Yuying completely put her heart down.

She hurriedly wanted to kneel down and salute again, but was stopped by Lin Miaozhen.

The slender and bright queen supported Mrs. Shouchenghou's kneeling body with one hand, as if it was effortless.

"Auntie, it doesn't have to be like this."

The situation of the two aunts, Lin Miaozhen also knows very clearly, the Cao family of the Xuanhe and Xuanhe dynasties need to use the two of them to prove that the first emperor favored the queen mother is not an isolated case, but will not give them the favor and respect that the first emperor gave to the queen mother.

"You've worked hard all these years."

Lin Miaozhen said this sentence sincerely.

Liang Yuying raised her eyes slightly, only to see the sincerity in the eyes of the queen mother, her heart was sour, and she quickly withdrew her hand: "Thank you, thank you the queen mother."

"It's me who should thank my aunt." Lin Miaozhen sat down again, took a persimmon and unscrewed the small hat on her head, "Your Majesty is determined to investigate the Taifu Temple, but Cao Fengxi happened to hit this pass, the Queen Mother was in trouble, and the hundred officials were angry, if it weren't for the eldest aunt, you immediately decided to send the money to the household department, and this matter would not have ended so easily." Last night, His Majesty also said that because of your timely decision, Uncle and Aunt, you took the lead for the officials of the DPRK and China, and yesterday during the day, more than a dozen officials handed over the folds, saying that they had embezzled the money of the Taifu Temple in their office."

Han Ruowei, who was sitting with her, raised her head slightly, and saw that the queen mother leaned her legs to the side, which was completely different from her sitting posture in the palace.

The slender beauty sat on the chair slightly, and the lower edge of the purple jacket exposed the corners of the thick black and golden skirt, just like a little style that is usually difficult to find in front of her eyes.

Han Ruowei couldn't help but be a little stupid.

Of course Lin Miaozhen is good-looking, otherwise how could the prince fall in love with her at first sight? It's just that Lin Miaozhen has been cautious everywhere over the years, and her life has been extremely restrained, and in Han Ruowei's eyes, she has become a pool of stagnant water, even if the scenery is quiet, it is not to her taste.

Now it's different.

The fish leaping in still water, the butterflies and the flowers moving, are all fresh and agile beauty.

Of course Lin Miaozhen felt the gaze that the second aunt cast on her, she looked over and said with a smile, "What does the second aunt have to say?"

"Ah, I suddenly remembered someone."

A knife on the head of the color word! The beauty appreciator rewarded the queen's head, but it is really not far from a thousand cuts!

Scolding herself viciously in her heart, Han Ruowei took out an envelope.

Before handing over the letter, she glanced at Liang Yuying.

She had already told Liang Yuying about the daughter of the Shen family before, and Liang Yuying hurriedly got up again to ask for the guilt, Cao Fengxi's house was really a troublemaker who was not even as good as waste. ….

Hearing that Cao Fengxi had encroached on other people's fields and made trouble with the Shen daughter who married into Ning Anbo, Lin Miaozhen was stunned and put the persimmon in her hand back into the white porcelain bowl.

"Second aunt, you said that this woman's surname is Shen, but ...... The orphan of the former co-organizer of the university, Shi Hua Niangong?"

First co-organized the university scholar Shen Shao, the word is saved, and the number is Hua Nian.

Hearing the queen say this, Han pretended to be a little surprised, and the letter in his hand was already handed over.

took the letter and saw it until the end, Lin Miaozhen stared at the last sentence, "I just ask for the fragrance of water to send autumn and promote it, and Lin Lan is close to the snow and is rampant." The words "Lin Lan near snow" can't help but be distracted.

This is a sentence written by Zhao Suqian on the fan in the past, why did Hua Niangong's daughter know? Why was it written in a letter to her years later? Did she write this to tell her grievances, or because she knew something about the purge of the gods?

There were thousands of thoughts in her heart, but Lin Miaozhen did not show it on her face, and only put the letter away.

"Second aunt, please ...... next time you enter the palace" Lin Miaozhen originally wanted to say that Han Ruowei would bring this Shen girl into Xiyuan next time she entered the palace to meet her face to face, but when she saw the sword she bought outside the palace yesterday, she changed her mind again.

"Three days later, please take this Shen lady to Xinghua Building."

"Xinghua Building?"

Han Ruowei looked at Liang Yuying blankly, this time her confusion was not pretended.

"The Queen's Mother......

"I'll go out of the palace to see her." When these five words were spoken, Lin Miaozhen tilted her head slightly, and her smile was extraordinarily bright.

"What?!"

Han and Liang were surprised, and the wood that had been disguised for many years "snapped" and shattered on the ground.

Zhao Surui, who was far away in Zhuangzi, didn't know that he had only left the palace for more than two months, and Sister Lin had already dared to go out of the palace by herself and make an appointment to meet her, and when he saw the letter from the Han family, he jumped up directly from the chair.

"Tu Nan Ah Chi! Pack up! I'll take you into the city tomorrow!"

As soon as he was happy, Zhao Surui felt that his stomach was better, his appetite had returned, and he could eat three roast suckling pigs in a row.

"Bring more silver, let's go to Yanjing City to eat and drink spicy food!"
