Chapter 191: Plotting a rebellion
Empress Zhang and Xiyue waited outside for a long time before they saw Tian Xiju walking out of it with two palace maids.
"The concubine see the queen mother Chitose." Tian Xiju twisted her waist and said to Empress Zhang.
Empress Zhang reached out in time to grab her.
"You and my sister, why be polite. My sister came recklessly, did she disturb my sister? Empress Zhang said with a smile.
"Where did the mother say, the concubine was alone in the palace all day, very bored, if the mother didn't come, the concubine still thought about going to say hello another day." Tian Xiju said.
Compared with Queen Zhang's dignified atmosphere, Tian Xiju's beauty seems to have more of the temperament of a small jasper.
"Quick, help Niang Niang Chitose into the palace." Tian Xiju instructed the two palace maids who followed behind.
A couple of people walked in.
The Waiju Palace is naturally not as big as the Jing'an Palace, but it is slightly different from other palaces.
When you enter the courtyard, there are flowers almost everywhere, and the strong fragrance of flowers is refreshing to the heart, which seems to wash the whole body and mind of the person.
"In the future, these flowers of the chrysanthemum lady will bloom better and better." Satsuki sniffed hard and said pretending to exaggerate.
"Sister Xiyue is too, the queen needs to accompany Your Majesty every day, and she can't withdraw, why don't you come for so many times?" Tian Xiju said deliberately, looking at Empress Zhang's face, and then added, "If it weren't for Your Majesty's expedition to Wujun, I'm afraid the Empress wouldn't have had time to come here for the concubines." β
Listening to Tian Xiju's words, which were full of vinegar, Empress Zhang just smiled faintly.
She knew that after Liu Chan's death, Liu Yong never had any thoughts about these Liu Chan's widows, which made these concubines who didn't know the truth extremely jealous of their exclusive favor.
However, these words can only rot in the stomach.
"My sister Hugh wants to make fun of her, Your Majesty is also cold and hot to my sister, and her temperament is very different from before." Empress Zhang deliberately probed.
"Your Majesty is lying in the Niangniang Palace all day long, even if he is a little cold, he seems to ignore us like this." Tian Xiju said, "If you want to talk about change, the concubines have already noticed it, and they all say that Your Majesty's current bravery even surpasses that of the first emperor." The concubines are still a little unconvinced by this. β
Several people walked through the two courtyards and entered the hall.
A palace maid had already set up a chair and stood next to her with an incense burner in her hand.
Empress Zhang's gaze glanced quickly around the room.
A long, spike of the sword, cut from animal skin, caught her eye.
This is obviously something that only men have, which made Empress Zhang's heart rise to her throat.
It seems that Wei Qing'er said well, Tian Yong really came.
Generally speaking, most of the samurai on the battlefield will not use the kind of sword spikes that are more time-consuming to make, and the long sword spikes will affect the performance of their combat power when fighting on the battlefield. This kind of sword spike made of animal skin, on the other hand, can be quickly removed before the battle, and even if it is lost, it will not be a pity.
Of course, those high-ranking military attachΓ©s who only commanded battles were not among them, such as Liu Bei and Cao Wei's Taizu Wu Emperor Cao Cao, whose swords were extremely luxuriously decorated, and the various jewels inlaid on the scabbard alone were dazzling enough.
Empress Zhang sat on the top chair casually.
Queen Zhang naturally didn't want Tian Xiju to know her intentions, so she gossiped for a while.
"Your Majesty has been on an expedition this time, and the palace has been worried all day long, and it seems that it feels a little different from the past, as if something big is going to happen. The mood is inevitably very irritable, so I will think of my sister today, and I specially want to bring this palace to meet here. If you disturb my sister, please forgive me. Empress Zhang said.
Tian Xiju had also noticed the sword spike, and was complaining in his heart about how Tian Yong could be so careless, and when he heard that Empress Zhang didn't seem to have the intention of asking, he smiled and said, "Niangniang doesn't need to worry, Your Majesty even drove out the Deng Ai army that entered the capital, and the people over there in Nanyi were so barbaric that they were also surrendered by Your Majesty, and I expect that this time I will definitely return victorious." β
"I hope so." Empress Zhang nodded.
As soon as she came in, she was particularly interested in a pot of chrysanthemums placed next to the chair, and she kept squatting there and watching, and then turned to look at Empress Zhang and Tian Xiju.
"No wonder Your Majesty said that picking chrysanthemums is not as beautiful as Concubine Ju, although picking chrysanthemums is very cute, but it lacks the aura of Concubine Ju, and even the slaves and maids love it."
Shame Yue's words made Empress Zhang and Tian Shame Ju laugh.
"Sister Xiyue, if you make a mistake one day and are shut by Your Majesty or the Queen Mother, will the entire palace look lifeless because of this?"
Satsuki stood up.
"Your Majesty and the Queen Mother treat slaves and maids like relatives, how can they be willing to close the mouths of slaves and maids? It would be more pleasant to cut off the head of the slave and maid. β
This time, even the palace maids standing behind Empress Zhang and Tian Xiju couldn't help laughing.
"Okay, although this pot of flowers is the favorite of this palace, but seeing that Sister Xiyue likes it so much, I will give it to you first and keep it in your house, so that you don't see a fish like a kitten." Tian Xiju knew that Xiyue was now the most favored girl by Queen Zhang's side, and pleasing her was also pleasing Queen Zhang, so she said.
Shame Moon is overjoyed.
"Slave and maid, thank you Concubine Ju, then the slave and maid will be taken away later, is Concubine Ju Niangniang allowed to return?"
"You girl, my sister is just joking with you, how can you take it seriously?" Empress Zhang said.
"Sister Xiyue likes it, so naturally she wants to take it, how can the concubine be joking?" Tian Xiju said.
Behind the hall of the Mourning Ju Palace is connected to a long corridor, and not far from it, it is Tian Xiju's dormitory.
At this time, Tian Yongzheng was hiding here alone, lying on the crack of the door from time to time to look outside.
A full hour later, he saw Tian Xiju coming from behind.
"And thou shalt wait here, and thou shalt not come near any man without commanding thou." Tian Xiju said to a personal palace maid.
"Yes." The maid agreed to stop.
Seeing that there was no one around, Tian Xiju turned around and came in.
"It's better for my brother to leave quickly, the queen must have heard some rumors here." Tian Xiju said, handing the beast skin sword spike to Tian Yong.
"It must be Wang Sina who accidentally informed Wei Qing'er of the news that General Ben was here." Tian Yong said hatefully.
"Wei Qing'er will break me sooner or later if she stays, my brother will go back and tell General Wang Si that you must not make a mistake because of a woman." Tian Xiju said.
"Brother Fool goes back and does it himself, this woman must not stay." Tian Yong nodded.
Tian Xiju quickly searched the house, found some gold and silver jewelry, and put it in a package.
"This is all given by the former queen, and the elder brother can only take it and sell it as military expenses, although it is not much, but it can also ensure that hundreds of people can eat on weekdays." Tian Xiju said, gritting his teeth, "Since the new queen lord is responsible for me, this palace will never let him live peacefully." β
"The foolish brother thanked the lieutenant soldiers of Weiyang City on behalf of his mother." Tian Yong took the package and turned his head to leave, but was stopped by Tian Xiju.
"Brother can't leave from the front, or do you want the younger sister to send you from the back." Tian Xiju advised, "When will my brother raise troops, you can let someone inform my little sister in advance, and I will also ask General Huang Yuan to prepare for the opening of the city." β
"Foolish brother wrote it down." Tian Yong smiled weirdly and replied.
