Chapter 12: Qi'er has other intentions

"Brother, don't be presumptuous, although Your Majesty has been a little abnormal recently, but he is still a great husband, and it is also a great fortune for everyone in my Shu. Brother, don't you just want him to have no achievements, and even lose my Shu Han Jiangshan is my majesty's doing? After Empress Zhang smiled, she said.

Zhang Shao knocked his head.

"What the sister said is reasonable, but the little brother is too worried, but the ministers have a lot to talk about."

"It's not difficult for everyone to understand His Majesty's changes." Empress Zhang thought thoughtfully, "It's just that we can't participate in it indiscriminately, the little sister has her own sense of proportion." ”

Zhang Shao was relieved.

"That being the case, the little brother will take his leave." Zhang Shao said, turned around and left.

Empress Zhang looked at his back and smiled without saying a word.

"The slave and maid send off the uncle of the country." Duan'er screamed.

"Excuse me." Zhang Shao said, already striding out.

Duan'er finally couldn't help but laugh.

"Uncle Wenguo's personality is quite similar to that of the country's abbot back then, and he didn't pay attention to it when he was in the house, but when I saw it today, it was really so. I didn't even have the opportunity to sit down and talk about my family life with my mother. ”

"My brother has a straightforward personality, and he doesn't know how to deal with things, so he is only afraid of being used by others in the future. Sister Duan'er, you go back to the house tomorrow, and if possible, take my sister-in-law into the palace for a while. ”

"Tomorrow is the day when the mother Chitose greets the queen mother, and the slave maid will accompany the mother to go with her, and she will go after she returns." Duan'er replied.

After being reminded by Duan'er, Empress Zhang remembered that tomorrow was indeed the day when she entered Cining Palace to ask for peace.

Due to the large number of concubines in this harem, it is inevitable to bump and bump into the Empress Dowager Wu every day, which has become a mental burden for the Empress Dowager Wu, for this reason, I don't know who gave the Empress Dowager Wu the idea, according to the level of concubines, only two people are allowed to go every day. Empress Zhang, as the master of the harem, is naturally an exception, and she can go alone by making an exception.

The next day was also the day of Liu Yong's dynasty.

Because of the lesson of Deng Yi and others yesterday, everyone did not dare to make another mistake, and almost unanimously praised Liu Yong to the sky. For this reason, Liu Yong was quite annoyed.

The early dynasty ended hastily.

What he was thinking now was that Qi Fang could collect enough military supplies as soon as possible, and he could take the initiative to attack and regain the lost territory before the enemy army returned.

In order to delay the return of Cao Wei's men as much as possible, Liu Yong decided to use Lin Yuniang again.

"This letter is handed over to Huangmen and ordered Chen Ji to send it to Cao Wei's camp as soon as possible, and hand it over to Sima Banru." Liu Yong handed over a bundle of bamboo slips that had been tied up to the eunuch on duty.

"Your Majesty is saying that you want Lord Chen Ji to send it in person, not to General Qi Fang to send someone there?" The eunuch didn't seem to hear clearly.

Liu Yong did not explain.

The eunuch leaves.

The eunuch did not find Chen Ji, and it is said that he followed the Empress Dowager Wu out of the palace.

Such a thing is rare.

Empress Dowager Wu's brother is Wu Yi, an important minister in Shuzhong.

When the first emperor Liu Bei was alive, Wu Yi was also the commander of the Central Protector Army on the Weizhen side, but now he is long gone, leaving only one son in the family, but he was born stupid and often relied on the Empress Dowager Wu for help.

The eunuch guessed that Empress Dowager Wu went out of the palace to visit her nephew, and she didn't dare to delay, so Pegasus left the palace to go to Wu's mansion.

At this time, Empress Zhang had already taken Duan'er and two personal eunuchs to the gate of Cining Palace.

"The queen mother came to say hello to the queen mother, please go and report it." Duan'er instructed a palace maid who was guarding the door.

The palace maid knew that Empress Dowager Wu was not there, but she didn't dare to tell the truth, and hurriedly agreed to run in to find Ling'er.

Ling'er was furious because a palace maid accidentally wet Empress Dowager Wu's phoenix couch, grabbed the palace maid's hair and scolded, and when she heard Empress Zhang come to ask for peace, she just waved her hand.

"The Queen Mother is not here, I want her to come back another day."

The palace maid took a few steps back, but did not leave.

"The slave didn't dare to reply truthfully, so it would be better to ask Sister Ling'er to go."

Ling'er was furious.

"Dog minion, do you have to work for me for such a trivial matter?" As he spoke, he pushed the palace maid in his hand.

The palace maid staggered with her head in her hands, hit her back against the wall, and kept wiping her tears.

Ling'er is usually used to being favored by Empress Dowager Wu, and she has always been flying in the palace, which of the palace maids dares to offend her.

"Why hasn't there been any movement all this time?" Duan'er was a little impatient, poked her head out and glanced into the courtyard, but was stopped by Queen Zhang.

"Don't make mistakes!"

Duan'er retracted his head.

"The slave maid feels that the Queen Mother seems to be quite dissatisfied with Niang Niang Chitose in recent days, and I don't know where Niang Niang Chitose does not match her intentions."

"Don't talk nonsense." Empress Zhang was startled and stopped.

Ling'er walked out and bent slightly to Queen Zhang from a distance.

"The Queen Mother is not here, please come back, and when the Queen Mother returns, the slave will tell you." Without waiting for Queen Zhang to speak, she turned her head and was about to leave.

"Bold!" Duan'er saw that Ling'er was so contemptuous of Empress Zhang, and she was anxious for a while, ignoring Empress Zhang's obstruction, and shouted, "The queen is here, but it's okay to come to see the ceremony, the attitude is so arrogant, is it true that Your Majesty is in person, are you also like this?" ”

Ling'er was stunned.

Because of the support of the Empress Dowager Wu, she has never taken the harem concubines in her eyes, especially after helping the Empress Dowager Wu replace Liu Chan with Liu Yong, she even feels that even the Empress Dowager Wu and Liu Yong have been held in the palm of her hand. What's the matter with just a queen?

However, when he heard Duan'er say this, he still barely stopped.

"The slave maid asked Niang Niang Chitose to say goodbye, and asked Niang Niang Chitose to return to the palace for the time being, and come back when the Queen Mother returns."

Duan'er's anger did not subside, her little face turned red with anger, and she scolded in a low voice: "What! ”

Empress Zhang looked at Ling'er and suddenly her heart moved.

"Since my queen mother is not here, this palace simply waits here for a while. Fang Cai was in a hurry, and now he was very thirsty, and asked Ling'er to prepare a pot of tea for the palace herself. ”

Ling'er didn't expect Empress Zhang to stay, and she seemed a little helpless for a while.

Duan'er seized the opportunity.

"Do you hear that, please lead the way, prepare the best tea quickly, and serve my queen."

Ling'er swallowed a mouthful of saliva and nodded helplessly.

The other palace girls in Cining Palace were afraid that they would be called by Ling'er, so they avoided one after another.

Duan'er didn't understand Empress Zhang's intentions, but she had long been dissatisfied with what Ling'er had done in the harem, and today she took the opportunity to rectify her.

A moment later, Ling'er walked into the hall where Empress Zhang was with a pot of tea.

Empress Zhang was motionless, but at the moment when Ling'er put down the teapot, she suddenly stood up and waved her arm vigorously. The wide sleeves of the robe swept over the teapot, and in just a few strokes, the teapot was knocked over, and the hot water splashed up, wetting the placket of Empress Zhang's robe.

Duan'er was startled and ran over to help Empress Zhang shake off the remaining water stains.

"Why was you so careless?"

Ling'er was also taken aback, and before she could react, Empress Zhang had already slapped her on the table.

"Bold minion, dare because the palace is resting here, are you dissatisfied, and you want to take revenge on the palace?"

"Slaves, slaves and maids don't dare." Ling'er was a little panicked at this time.

Empress Zhang sneered.

"You are the person next to the Queen Mother, I'm afraid that you don't even pay attention to Your Majesty every day, why don't you dare?" Empress Zhang changed her gentle and kind nature in the past, mocked, and suddenly showed off her face, and instructed the two eunuchs standing at the foot of the steps, "Drag it down, first slap your mouth fifty, don't tolerate mercy." ”
