Chapter 22: Refusal to draft
"How? The Queen Mother is the head of the harem, and the concubines are just a little concubines, and everything is subject to the Queen Mother. ”
Shen Tingcheng knew that he was late, and he could see that the Queen Mother was not a fuel-efficient lamp, otherwise how could she stand out from the harem of beautiful women?
So as to become the queen mother of the world?
"You ......"
The Queen Mother squinted her eyes and just wanted to speak, Li Yunhai arrived in time and waved the dust, "The emperor has arrived!" ”
"The emperor is auspicious."
All the concubines knelt on the ground together, and Shen Tingcheng moved his knees, but unfortunately he knelt for too long, and he moved his head in a silky way.
Hearing Shen Tingcheng gasp, the Queen Mother glanced at the thin woman, but she didn't see any grievances on Shen Tingcheng's face, but instead accepted her fate.
Xiao Beirin strode forward, and had long thought that Shen Qingcheng would cause trouble, so he hurriedly ran over.
"The son asks the queen mother to say goodbye, and the queen mother is Jin'an."
As he spoke, Xiao Beirin knelt on one knee and fell to the ground with his right hand clenched into a fist, respectfully.
"Emperor, get up."
"Thank you, Queen Mother."
The man's tall body stood tall in front of him, glanced at the kneeling concubine, and waved his hand, "You guys should get up too." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Concubine Xian and Concubine De stood up obediently, but Shen Tingcheng was not, still kneeling on the ground, turning the direction to face the Queen Mother, with a mirror in her heart, the Queen Mother and Xiao Beirin were different.
This scene was seen by Xiao Beirin, knowing that the woman was in trouble, and smiled and helped the queen mother's arm, "Queen Mother, this concubine was by my side yesterday and didn't rest much, I'm afraid I'm tired today, so I couldn't come to greet the queen mother in time, the queen mother has always been merciful, and I think I will never see this girl in the same way, right?" ”
Knowing his mother Mo Ruozi, Xiao Beirin secretly made a joke in a few words, thinking about relieving Shen Chengcheng.
Unexpectedly, after all, it was the last palace fighting champion, as the queen mother, this kind of trick has already been seen a lot, is it possible that you can still be deceived?
"Didn't the emperor feel sorry for her? Now I think it's a sad family? ”
"Naturally not, the queen mother is devoted to worshiping the Buddha and cherishing the world, there is a reason for this matter, and I ask the queen mother to atone for her sins."
Respectful to the Queen Mother, Xiao Beirin lost his former anger, this scene surprised the Queen Mother, but she didn't think it was because of Shen Chengcheng.
In addition, as soon as he entered the palace, he was sued, and he preconceived that Shen Chengcheng was not a good person.
The people around Xiao Beirin don't need to be smart and clever, but they must not be favored by one person.
The Queen Mother's eyes were cold, she grabbed Xiao Beirin's hand, and snorted coldly, "Hmph! Such a vicious person, if the mourning family comes back late, I'm afraid that Concubine De and Concubine Xian will be wronged to death, right? ”
"Queen Mother's ......"
"What the Queen Mother said is wrong, because of the words of others, it is concluded that it is the fault of the concubine, have you ever thought that there is a reason for it? The concubine is just the unfavored concubine of the prime minister, how dare she go against these two maidens who were once above the concubine? ”
Shen Tingcheng suddenly opened his mouth to talk back, and even Xiao Beirin was stunned.
looked at the Queen Mother worriedly, thinking that the Queen Mother would be furious, but how did the Queen Mother reveal some thoughts in her eyes?
Is there a turning point in this matter?
"Oh? Don't you want to say that they are embarrassing you? ”
"Naturally."
The woman kowtowed to the queen mother, "The concubine is indeed late today, not for the side, the concubine received the news a quarter of an hour ago, it stands to reason that the queen mother should be informed of the palace concubines the day before she returns to the palace, if the queen mother does not believe it, you can take any of the concubines in the palace to ask." ”
According to the rules, it is true that the Queen Mother should be informed in advance when she returns to the palace, and the Queen Mother also wondered, from the very beginning, Shen Chengcheng said that she only knew the news a quarter of an hour ago, how could the maid who sent the news yesterday be missing?
Xu is feeling that the atmosphere was not right, Cuiguo beside Concubine Xian couldn't help but shrink her neck, it was she who stopped the palace maid who informed Shen Tingcheng yesterday, and lied that she would convey it.
In fact, it was to make Shen Tingcheng embarrassed in front of the Queen Mother.
"Secondly, why did the concubine do it with Concubine De, her head was hit by herself, and she wanted to detain the concubine in prison without evidence, the emperor thought that this matter was strange, so he let the concubine ground, unexpectedly, Concubine De was dissatisfied, and she threatened the emperor with her life and hit her head on the pillar."
Concubine De was covered in cold sweat when she was said, standing beside the Queen Mother and not daring to raise her head, she obviously felt a keen gaze looking at her.
I know that it is the eyes of the Queen Mother, and I threaten the Son of Heaven with my life, I am afraid that it will be my life!
Sure enough, the Queen Mother glanced at Concubine De with an indifferent face, and the Buddha beads in her hand turned faster.
"If the Queen Mother really wants to look at the wound to speak......" Shen Tingcheng picked up his wrist, which was wrapped in thick gauze, and the Queen Mother was startled and stretched out her finger, "This ...... This is? ”
"The concubine's mother was terminally ill, no one took care of her at home, she heard that she was critically ill and unconscious, and the concubine begged the emperor to let the concubine see her mother, and she would know some medical skills, so she boiled life-saving medicine for her mother.
"Because the concubine dodged, Concubine De was displeased, and she beat and scolded the concubine in front of her subordinates, if the emperor didn't come in time, I am afraid that Concubine De would press the concubine into the pot."
Such appalling news shocked the Queen Mother.
In the past, Concubine De was well-behaved in front of him, didn't she pretend to be?
At this moment, the Queen Mother only felt that she had been teased, and turned her head angrily to look at Concubine De, "Concubine De!" ”
"Concubine...... Damn the concubine! Damn the concubine! ”
Xiao Beirin didn't expect that after talking back to the Queen Mother, she could still say so much, and she pondered in her heart for a while.
It stands to reason that Shen Tingcheng is very timid, and when he looks at him on weekdays with the wrong face, he will tremble with fear, why does he have the courage to debate with the Queen Mother today?
The man's gaze was deep, and it fell on Shen Qingcheng's palm-sized little face, and he seemed to see some calculations from that face.
Deliberately?
For what?
"There is also a virtuous concubine, the queen mother thinks that the concubine gets the emperor's favor and is in the palace as a prestige, when it is the opposite, the reason why she is against the virtuous concubine is because after the concubine returned to the palace yesterday, the virtuous concubine pretended to be peaceful, and sent a bowl of avoidance soup.
Concubine Xian thought that Shen Qingcheng didn't tell Xiao Beirin, so she would swallow this dumb loss.
Unexpectedly, in front of the Queen Mother, I said everything about 1510.
The Queen Mother took a deep breath, as if she was annoyed that she was being used, and she almost ruined her relationship with Xiao Beirin.
But for Shen Tingcheng, the vigilance in his heart still couldn't be let go, "Concubine Chen, even if everything is for a reason, but you are still young, and it is not appropriate to manage the harem." ”
After speaking, he turned his head to look at Xiao Beirin, took Xiao Beirin's hand and patted it, and said with a smile, "Emperor, it has not been established for so long, why don't you draft the emperor in a few days?" The mourning family has ordered someone to send the news out, and it is most appropriate to choose a queen. ”
