Chapter 66: Temptation

"The concubine came to see her grandmother."

Although I don't know what the purpose of the Empress Dowager Huayang's sudden visit this time is, Mrs. Zheng can only greet her with a smile, after all, not to mention other places, at least in this harem, the Empress Dowager Huayang is Mrs. Zheng's elder.

"Get up!"

Empress Dowager Huayang raised her hand gently, signaling Mrs. Zheng to be exempt.

"How are you doing?"

"Thanks to my grandmother, everything is fine."

"That's good, it's hard work for you to manage this huge harem."

"It's not hard, this is what a concubine should do."

The two asked and answered, and the words seemed extremely harmonious, if people who don't know the inside story saw this scene in front of them, I am afraid that they would really think that this is a picture of 'grandmother's loving granddaughter-in-law'!

However, in fact, this is just some scenes between the Empress Dowager Huayang and Mrs. Zheng.

After the two exchanged pleasantries.

Mrs. Zheng began to try to get into the topic, and said, "Grandmother came here today, I don't know if there is something that needs to be served by a concubine?" ”

Empress Dowager Huayang shook her head with a smile and said: "It's nothing, maybe it's because of age, people suddenly want to find someone to talk to inexplicably." Today, the old man happened to be passing by here, and he wanted to come in and chat with you. ”

"So that's the case, it's the honor of the concubine."

The smile on Mrs. Zheng's face echoed, but in fact, what she thought in her heart, it is estimated that she is the only one who knows.

Looking at the smile on Mrs. Zheng's face, a 'kind' expression also appeared on the face of the Empress Dowager Huayang.

In fact, what the Empress Dowager Huayang said just now was indeed the truth, because when she first entered Mrs. Zheng's palace, it was indeed just the Empress Dowager Huayang who walked in on a whim.

It's just that after walking in, the Empress Dowager Huayang suddenly changed her mind in her heart.

"Fusu has been dealing with government affairs recently, but it is still going well?"

"This ······ The concubine doesn't know that everything in the court is what their men should do, and the concubine is just a woman, so how dare she talk too much. ”

"That's right, how can we women control their men! However, the king's decision this time is indeed a bit reckless, Fusu is still young after all, and at this time, let him rashly contact the affairs of the court, isn't it to pull out the seedlings to help him. ”

“······”

Mrs. Zheng did not respond to this sentence.

See here.

The Empress Dowager Huayang also seemed to realize what she said wrong, and after pursing her lips, she immediately changed the topic and said: "But if there is really any problem, you can let Fusu go to Xiong Qi for help, after all, he is Fusu's own uncle, presumably before leaving this time, the king deliberately let Xiong Qi serve as the 'right prime minister', also out of this consideration." ”

"The concubine has written it down."

Mrs. Zheng replied respectfully.

"Hmmm! It's the best, people are older, and it's really easy to chatter, this time I came to talk to you for a while, and the mood of the old body suddenly became much more comfortable. ”

"It's not too early, it's time for the old body to leave."

The Empress Dowager Huayang stood up and prepared to leave.

Mrs. Zheng hurriedly got up and said, "Concubine, send grandmother." ”

After sending the Empress Dowager Huayang out of the door all the way, seeing the Empress Dowager Huayang's imperial sedan chair leaving, Mrs. Zheng's eyes couldn't help but narrow, and after a while, she turned around and returned to her palace.

After returning to the palace.

Mrs. Zheng sat back in her place and just sat down, when Mrs. Zheng realized that she had been shocked into a cold sweat behind her back for some time.

"What a great old man!"

Although Mrs. Zheng has been constrained by the Empress Dowager Huayang for so many years, before that, Mrs. Zheng has always thought that this is because the Empress Dowager Huayang is older than herself, and with the support of the 'Chu foreign relatives' behind her, she will be suppressed so miserably.

But it wasn't until just now that Mrs. Zheng realized the power of the Empress Dowager for the first time.

The few conversations between the Empress Dowager Huayang and her just now seemed to be just ordinary small talk, but they were all temptations of the Empress Dowager Huayang from beginning to end.

The old man obviously found something, but he couldn't be sure for a while, so he tried in vain to expose his flaws through other aspects.

Actually, let's be honest.

Mrs. Zheng's feelings for the Empress Dowager Huayang are also quite complicated, similar to Yingzheng.

Although the Empress Dowager Huayang has been suppressing her in the harem over the years, it is precisely because of the relationship between the Empress Dowager Huayang that Mrs. Zheng has been able to survive safely in the harem.

Even if she was able to conceive Fusu, a large part of the reason was because of the Empress Dowager Huayang.

And in fact, Mrs. Zheng herself does have a blood relationship with the Empress Dowager Huayang, and even the reason why he was able to become Yingzheng's concubine in the first place was because of the credit of the Empress Dowager Huayang.

From this aspect, Mrs. Zheng should have thanked the Empress Dowager Huayang.

So in the face of this situation, Mrs. Zheng should actually pass a little information to the Empress Dowager Huayang, but unfortunately this idea is not realistic, and Mrs. Zheng does not dare now.

······

And at the same time.

The other side.

Not long after Empress Dowager Huayang left Madame Zheng's palace, her face had become gloomy at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Mrs. Zheng was quite calm in the face of her temptation just now, but it was precisely because she was too calm that the Empress Dowager Huayang was sure that something was wrong with the other party.

After all, at Yao Meiren's banquet before, Mrs. Zheng's behavior was very 'impulsive'.

And now all of a sudden, it's so calm and cautious.

These two diametrically opposed personalities appeared in the same person, and if you want to say that nothing happened to Mrs. Zheng, it is obviously impossible for the Empress Dowager Huayang to believe it.

It can only be said that ginger is still old and spicy.

Mrs. Zheng thought that her performance was not exposed, but she didn't know that sometimes there were no flaws, which was a flaw in itself.

Originally, even if there was a little abnormality in Mrs. Zheng, the Empress Dowager Huayang would not care too much, but when the Empress Dowager Huayang put 'Yao Beauty's banquet', 'Mrs. Zheng's sudden extra guards in front of the palace', and 'Mrs. Zheng's abnormality'······

After all these situations are linked.

A not-so-good premonition suddenly appeared in her heart.

Return to Huayang Palace.

The Empress Dowager Huayang thought for a while with a gloomy face, and then suddenly said, "Go and check, what have Xiong Qi been doing recently?" ”

Recently, the situation in Xianyang has been quite peaceful, so even the Empress Dowager Huayang can't think of where her 'bad premonition' is for a while.

Finally think about it.

The only possible problem in the recent period is probably Xiong Qi's body, because Xiong Qi's position as the 'right prime minister' was not glorious.
