Chapter 152: Mrs. Xiang and the former queen
"Aunt Taoyao, but do you want to invite Mrs. Xiang in?" Seeing that Tao Yao was silent, the palace maid couldn't help but ask again.
Tao Yao came back to her senses, her eyebrows tightened: "Let Mrs. Xiang wait outside first, the Queen Mother has just slept, so it is inconvenient to disturb." ”
The palace maid was stunned: "But the queen mother is ...... there"
"You follow what I said, the Queen Mother wakes up, and I will explain to the Queen Mother."
Tao Yao sent the palace maid away, turned her head, and frowned even tighter: "The princess, that Fang Zi ......"
Song Shuwan immediately answered: "Take the four treasures of the study, and I'll write it now." ”
"I'm in trouble with the princess."
Song Shuwan smiled, and after a while, she wrote down a prescription with a pen, and made some advice and was about to leave, but before the words could be spoken, she heard a noise outside.
"I don't believe that the Queen Mother is asleep, you go and spread the word soon, I must see the Queen Mother now, this is a matter of human life!"
Song Shuwan was slightly stunned, wouldn't this be Mrs. Xiang? Listening to these words, don't even the Queen Mother take it seriously?
Xiang Jia, surname Xiang ......
Song Shuwan carefully recalled the officials in the court, her eyes suddenly froze, Mrs. Xiang outside would not be the former queen's maiden family, right?
If she remembers correctly, the former queen's maiden family is surnamed Xiang, but because no one in the family has entered the court, it is quite low-key, but listening to these words today, the so-called low-key word is afraid that it is fake.
Song Shuwan was thinking about it, and Tao Yao beside her suddenly walked out quickly: "Mrs. Xiang, the Queen Mother has been unwell, and it is difficult to fall asleep today, even if you have a big matter, you have to wait for the Queen Mother to wake up first." ”
"The Queen Mother is unwell, it is not a day or two, why do you have to wake up today to say? Tao Yao, I think you are the person next to the Queen Mother, giving you face, but it doesn't mean that you can talk nonsense in front of me! ”
The sound outside is getting louder and louder, and Song Shuwan is standing in the inner hall, not walking, not leaving.
At this time, a tired voice suddenly came from behind him: "Who is making noise outside?" ”
The Queen Mother was woken up.
Realizing this, Song Shuwan turned around to the side of the bed and replied softly, "It's a lady surnamed Xiang." ”
The Queen Mother pressed her hand rubbing her temples and paused, her face a little more ugly: "Tao Yao, let her in." ”
When the words fell, the Queen Mother looked at Song Shuwan: "The princess is this, haven't had time to leave yet?" ”
Song Shuwan pursed her lips and smiled, and after entering the inner hall, she glanced at Madame Xiang.
Seeing this, the Queen Mother's already ugly face was even more ugly, but Mrs. Xiang hadn't noticed it yet, and shouted as soon as she entered the inner hall: "Queen Mother, Boyun is innocent, he didn't want to kill people at all, it's all the son of the Nanming Wang, so he got his life, he is still young, how can he ...... because of a dead man"
"Enough! This is Cining Palace, not Xiangfu, you are presumptuous here, do you put the mourning family in your eyes? ”
The Queen Mother scolded angrily, her eyes stared at Mrs. Xiang, and the momentum around her body was very low.
Xiang Madame was silent, as if she had just reacted, and hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "Min, the women have seen the Queen Mother, please calm the Queen Mother's anger, the women are just too anxious, so they forgot the rules, please the Queen Mother for the sake of Xiangyun, don't be surprised." ”
When the Queen Mother heard the word Xiangyun, the anger on her face immediately dissipated, and after a long time, she rubbed her eyebrows: "Boyun's matter, the mourning family heard about it, it is a matter of conclusive evidence, and it is useless for you to come to beg the mourning family." ”
Mrs. Xiang's eyes widened: "How can it be useless?" No matter how the king of Nanming is, he is just a minister, a courtier, how can he ...... with the royal family?"
"Alright."
The Queen Mother interrupted Mrs. Xiang's words again, and said in a solemn tone: "That's the King of Nanming, that is, the courtier, that's also the prince, you are so wild, if it spreads, do you know what will happen to the Xiang family?" ”
Mrs. Xiang pursed her lips, clasped her two hands tightly, and before she could speak, tears fell down her face, and she choked up and said: "However, my family Boyun is a single descendant of three generations, and Xiangyun only has this one younger brother." ”
"You keep saying that there are three generations of single transmission, but Xiangyun is not your Xiang's child? If you really want to protect people, go to the imperial study to find the emperor, Tao Yao, and send Mrs. Xiang away. ”
Tao Yao quickly stepped forward after responding, half supporting, half forcibly taking Mrs. Xiang away.
The noise was far away, and the inner hall gradually fell silent, the queen mother glanced at Song Shuwan on her side, and sighed faintly: "Let the princess enter the palace today, but let the princess see a joke, which really makes the mourning family ashamed." ”
Song Shuwan lowered her eyes and lightly blessed: "The courtiers just came to check the pulse of the Queen Mother, and after the pulse diagnosis, she left, and she didn't see anything." ”
The Queen Mother rubbed her fingertips and did not make a sound.
Song Shuwan maintained a saluting posture, and it was not until her waist and legs were sore that the Queen Mother spoke: "You can step down." ”
"Yes."
Song Shuwan got up and left Cining Palace with somewhat stiff steps.
Xiang Jia, the prince of the Southern Ming Dynasty...... She closed her eyes slightly, she didn't expect that there was such an existence hidden behind that case.
Back at the Hou Mansion, Duke Xinguo and Duchess Xinguo had already left, Song Shuwan saw Pei Huan, told the man what she saw in Cining Palace, and said very suspiciously: "This Xiang family is the former queen's maiden family, right?" She claimed to be a people's woman in front of the Queen Mother, but why did she dare to be so presumptuous? ”
Pei Huan's fingertips fell on the armrest, and he tapped lightly twice when he heard this: "The Xiang family is indeed the former queen's maiden family, and she dares to be presumptuous because the royal family owes the former queen." ”
"The royal owes the former queen?"
Song Shuwan repeated Pei Huan's words, and the doubts in her heart became more and more serious: "The Xiang family is just an ordinary family, how can the royal family owe the former queen?" ”
"This is a royal secret, it is no good for you to know, you just need to remember that the emperor is very partial to the people of the Xiang family, and you can hide when you meet the people of the Xiang family in the future, don't entangle, don't have contradictions."
Song Shuwan's eyes flashed with surprise: "The Xiang family's status in the emperor's heart is so high?" ”
"It's not that Xiang Jia's status is high, but Xiang Xiangyun, the former queen who has been driven has a high status, our emperor is really sober in business, but ...... in private matters"
Pei Huan pulled the corners of his mouth and didn't say any more.
Song Shuwan pursed her lips, stared at Pei Huan's side face for a moment, and left after checking his pulse.
Back in the room, she thought about it and called out to the dark one to ask about the emperor and the former queen Xiang Xiangyun.
Darkness Yi's expression flashed with complexity: "Regarding the royal secrets, the subordinates don't have much to say, they can only tell the princess that the emperor is a lover, and the former queen who died has a very high status in the emperor's heart." ”
Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, and added: "The little princess is from the former queen, and you should be able to see how much the emperor favors her from her." ”
