Chapter 148: The Queen Kills Crazy
It's almost the New Year's Day, Li Luansong is even busier, sometimes even Shen Qu can't see others for a few days, it's easy to see each other and say a few words before they are about to separate, seeing that everyone has lost a lot of weight, Shen Qu wrote a warm prescription and handed it to Zelan:
"Let the imperial dining room make supplements for Your Majesty according to this, the weather is getting colder and colder, and he is busy until midnight every day, which is too hard."
Zelan took the order to do it, and according to Shen Qu's instructions, he also sent more supplements and snacks to the three little ladies by the way.
There are only three of the six show girls who were originally selected, and Shen Qu has also exempted them from asking for peace in order to make them more comfortable, and they live freely.
However, these three people are not happy.
Sun Xiaoxiao is young, she doesn't have to ask for peace every day, her life is nothing but eating or sleeping, at most she goes to the imperial garden for a walk, sometimes she wants to go to the queen to play, but the mother is too busy and is always not in the palace.
Chen Yirong, the sister of Zhenwu General Chen Naiping, was born in a family of military generals, with a straightforward and chic personality, and would practice a set of fists and feet to warm up every morning.
In her words: "Although there is nothing to do, it won't be too long to think about it, the queen mother will not ignore them, so be patient and eat and drink well in the palace, and you can also receive the monthly silver, and you will not suffer." ”
She was right, but Su Wan was impatient.
She was already arrogant, she was born in a big family, and she did not lose to others in terms of family background, appearance, and talent, how could she end up in such a situation as an old woman.
The current situation really made her a little angry, and she was still a little impulsive when she first entered the palace, but after half a year, she also understood many things, and there was no one else in His Majesty's eyes, only the queen.
She was not without temptation, but His Majesty didn't even look at her at all, only the queen took good care of them like sisters.
Su Wan was a little annoyed with those old ministers, and she had to let them come over and be embarrassed, so she had already sent a few letters urging her father Su Jun to find a way to take her out of the palace earlier.
The letter is very clear: the daughter is still innocent, only the vacant palace does not have any titles, it is better to go home early to marry than to have no name here, she is already eighteen, can not wait any longer, let the father also persuade the uncles not to waste their efforts......
The ministers quarreled all night with the letters, some suggesting that they give up, but some were indignant.
"Your Majesty hasn't spoiled the harem for half a year, no wonder they're unhappy."
"But in the eyes of Your Majesty, there is only the queen and not them."
"Just spread the branches, it doesn't matter if you have it in your eyes."
"Your Majesty values affection, and it's not you."
……
There are a few fewer people who are in favor of continuing to insist, and now less than ten people take turns to write the recitals, piling up on Li Luansong's desk like snowflakes, forcing him to take care of the harem and heirs......
The chatter of the old ministers can be described as pervasive, Li Luansong was forced to be annoyed, Shen Qu saw it in his eyes and felt very distressed: "Your Majesty don't care, this matter should be handled by the concubines." ”
She took the matter over again, and thought of a countermeasure, discussed it with Li Luansong and his wife, and just did it.
Sure enough, His Majesty wanted the rain and dew to be wet, and an edict was sent to the harem, and His Majesty summoned three people at the same time this night.
Su Wan, Chen Yirong and Sun Xiaoxiao were all stunned: ...... What is this stimulating......
The three of them ran to the queen in fear:
"Mother, save us, what can we do?" Sun Xiaoxiao cried so much that her eyes were swollen like walnuts.
"We don't want to, none of us." Chen Yirong was angry and anxious, and her little face was red.
"Your Majesty, is this being driven crazy?" Su Wan asked.
Shen Qu nodded: "Yes, it seems that Your Majesty was driven crazy by that group of old ministers." ”
"That's not possible, Niangniang has to persuade Your Majesty." Su Wan knelt down and begged, "The courtiers are willing to contact their father and ask them to persuade Lord Chen again." ”
Shen did say, "This matter is indeed inappropriate, since you are all unwilling, then let's go our separate ways." ”
The old ministers had already gotten the news, and they all looked frightened and couldn't believe it.
"Your Majesty really gave such an edict? Just tonight? ”
"Three people...... Together? ”
"He, how can he be like this, this is really against the law of etiquette."
"I'm afraid I was forced by us."
……
But after all, it is a foreign minister, and the emperor's private affairs cannot be interfered with so far, and several people look at each other and sweat like rain. Su Jun, a scholar of Wenhuadian University, also came to them because of his daughter's affairs, and for a while, the courtiers were arguing.
It was a night that was not peaceful, and everyone was worried, but they didn't know what was going on.
A few days have passed since this incident, and no one has mentioned it, and the three show girls and little ladies have not been rewarded, everything is as before, as if nothing happened.
The ministers were in a hurry, but they couldn't ask, they couldn't ask: "Your Majesty, how were you doing that night?" ”
What is this called, several people were anxious to inquire everywhere, but this time there was no news, and even the little eunuch who asked about the news in the bag they inserted into the harem only shook his head and heard nothing.
"Could it be that Your Majesty is not satisfied, and there will be no accident."
"No, no, don't scare yourself, if something happens, you have to have news."
"Hurry up and ask Lao Su to ask, what's going on with this no reward and no movement."
"Look at Lord Su, but you're still willing to take care of you and me."
……
In fact, nothing happened that night.
It was a smoke bomb set off by Shen Qu and Li Luansong.
The two of them had a deep talk with the three ladies together, and since it was for each other, they had to work together.
Under the candlelight, in order to ease the atmosphere and let several little ladies relax, Shen Qu also specially brought ice drinks and pastries.
Li Luansong never raised his eyelids from beginning to end.
Sun Xiaoxiao stared at the plates of dim sum, and the fear in her heart was swept away.
Shen Qu looked at each other's tense appearances, and spoke first: "Let's eat some, there are no monarchs and ministers today, you can say whatever you want." ”
Su Wan saluted: "Your Majesty, the courtiers want to leave the palace." ”
She was direct, with her eyes down and a posture of wanting to kill or kill you.
Li Luansong didn't think about it and said, "That's right, I have this intention." ”
Sun Xiao was stunned for half of his snack, and hurriedly said, "I, I also want to leave the palace." ”
"Yes."
"Your Majesty, the courtier Chen Yirong also invited herself out of the palace."
"Yes, yes."
Li Luansong was relieved.
The problem was solved, and it was solved before even the time for a piece of pastry arrived.
Shen did laugh: "Your Majesty, although this matter is said to be proposed by the courtiers to Zhang Luo, but after all, it is for His Majesty to choose a concubine, and they have also lived in the palace for half a year, if it is not properly arranged, I am afraid that it will damage the reputation of the ladies." ”
Everyone nodded in unison, staring at Li Luansong with burning eyes.
The queen thought it through, they are all daughters of the boudoir, and if Ming'er leaves the palace and is said to be a concubine that His Majesty doesn't want to take out, it will ruin her life.
Li Luansong said: "I have nothing to do with them, what do you think about it, can solve this matter satisfactorily." ”
Shen was also worried, Abu Zai had gone out by himself before; Xia Chunlan was matched by the eighth prince, and the two fell in love at first sight; Cheng Yanyan is His Majesty's cousin, and he was crowned the county lord, which can be regarded as justifiable......
What can these people do, can't they all make a fuss, and then make a county lord or something?
Su Wan said: "Niangniang, the courtier has an idea. The courtiers know that there are many businesses under the mother, and I heard that the women's school opened by the mother is in full swing, and now it has long become a place where the young ladies in Beijing flock to, I don't know how the courtiers think of the courtiers, and the courtiers have followed the mother since she was a child to learn etiquette, flower arrangement, tea ceremony, and chess......
I can't say that I am proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but I can teach some younger girls. ”
"That's a good idea." Shen Qu stroked his palm happily, "The female school is now short of teachers, it would be great if you were willing to come." ”
Chen Yirong also said: "Niangniang, I don't know anything other than horseback riding and martial arts, but I want to learn, I can be a student." ”
Shen did say yes, "You can also come to learn, you can also come to be a teacher, just teach horseback riding and martial arts, the little lady also needs some self-defense skills, wouldn't it be bad to have a skill." ”
A few people talked lively, only Sun Xiaoxiao looked at this and that, and wanted to cry.
Shen asked her what was wrong, and she said, "Then what should I do, I don't know anything." ”
Chen Yirong said no, "You can eat, and being able to eat is a skill." ”
Sun Xiaoxiao thought that others were making fun of her, and her face turned red.
Su Wan said: "That's right, eat and drink Lazar, eating is the first, you can eat is tasteful, you can go to Niangniang's food shop and pastry shop." ”
Shen did say yes, "The pastry shop is short of a little lady who can eat, specializing in tasting and pointing out faults, we also want to keep improving, if I can get you a 'delicious' I will really rest assured......"
Several women talked lively together, and Li Luansong was dumbfounded.
After talking for a while, Shen did think of him, grabbed his arm and said: "Your Majesty, the concubines have helped Your Majesty solve a big problem, and now please ask Your Majesty to summon it, these ladies have accompanied the concubines in the palace to study the skills for half a year, and now they can return home and join the work." ”
Look, the high-sounding reason has been thought of, and the purpose of entering the palace is to accompany the queen to study skills, so there is no draft and concubine.
As long as those old ministers no longer hold on, the words will pass.
Naturally, those old ministers will not hold on to it anymore.
In Li Luansong's words, this game of monarchs and ministers finally ended in complete defeat for the old ministers under the strategy of the queen's mother.
"My sister-in-law is no longer a little daughter-in-law who ignores the world and is bullied." Li Luansong gave a thumbs up and praised, "My queen is crazy in my harem, and there is no armor left." ”
Shen gave him a blank look, "Your Majesty is not right, the concubine is to convince people with virtue." ”
