Chapter 347: Punishment for Kneeling (3)
This slap was really loud, and the Queen Mother's heart was dark, and she even heard the sound of Zhao Kezhen's fragile heart breaking.
If it is true, only Wei Yuanxi, who is not afraid of heaven and earth, can restrain her. The Queen Mother looked at Yuan Xi intently, this girl really has some skills, she is not visible, she is not dewy, but she can always put herself in a position where she has no fear. Those relatives, royalty, the first emperor, Rong Run, and even the emperor are happy to revolve around her, and they don't know what charm she has.
Zhao Kezhen held her face and was stunned for a long time before she remembered her grievances and pointed at Yuan Xi: "You, you dare to beat me!"
Ling'er looked at Zhao Kezhen sideways, and sneered in her heart, Zhao Kezhen was the head that was beaten, and she had to send it to the door to beg for a beating, this is not once or twice, haven't you developed a habit yet?
Zhao Kezhen flicked her sleeves hatefully, knelt at the feet of the queen mother, and made a pear blossom with rain: "Queen mother, queen mother, you want to be the master of your son! Wei Yuanxi, she dared to be so cruel and unreasonable in front of her mother, it can be seen how rampant she is when she carries people behind her back." But Zhen just wanted her to obey her mother's will, so she put such a heavy hand on her son. Queen Mother, look at the face of your son!"
The skirt of the Queen Mother was rubbed by Zhao Kezhen like a fast silk handkerchief, and the Queen Mother quietly pulled it, but Zhao Kezhen refused to let go.
"Queen Mother, you have to be the master of your sons!"
Zhao Kezhen cried with tears, as if she had been greatly wronged. The Queen Mother didn't want to deal with her, but Zhao Kezhen threatened her from time to time. The Queen Mother was helpless, and when she thought of the three words of sorrow, she felt chills. The Queen Mother had no choice but to cough dryly and said, "Presumptuous! Did the mourning family let you get up? You still dare to be rough in front of the mourning family!"
The Queen Mother spoke, and Yuan Xi could only kneel.
"The mourning family thought that you were pregnant, and the punishment for kneeling was too harsh for you, but looking at you like this, you don't look like a delicate person. Since you are in good health, there is no need to ask the slave to be punished for you. The Queen Mother glanced at Mother Zhong and said, "The slaves and maids of Zichen Palace are all sent out to the mourning family!
Zhao Kezhen proudly touched her tears and stood up. Her tears that can be held back freely can be regarded as a unique skill.
"You still don't want the mourning family to get out!" The queen mother glared at Zhong's mother: "Do you want the mourning family to drive you away by yourself? Why don't you get out of here!"
Mother Zhong raised her eyes and looked at the Queen Mother, her voice was quite high, but the angry look on her face was not as angry as her emphasis. Mother Zhong was a little surprised, and vaguely felt that the Queen Mother's words seemed to be reminding them.
Mother Zhong pulled Ling'er's sleeve, bowed down and kowtowed to the Queen Mother: "The slave and maid retire." ”
The Queen Mother stared at Yuan Xi, this girl's temper was stubborn, even if she was punished for kneeling, she refused to even raise her head, and she didn't even say half a word of begging for mercy. No wonder Rong Zhan likes her, as the saying goes, whoever looks for whom. Yuan Xi's temperament will naturally attract people like Rong Zhan.
Earlier, those courtiers privately nicknamed Rong Zhan, what is the King of Boqing, the King of Cold Noodles. Could it be that Rong Zhan was too strict with people and too stubborn in temper? They really have the same temperament.
Zhao Kezhen saw that the Queen Mother had been staring at Yuan Xi's stomach, and knew that the Queen Mother was feeling sorry for her. Zhao Kezhen took the hand of the Queen Mother and comforted her softly: "Queen Mother, the day is getting higher and higher, and the wind in early spring is also strong, beware of blowing your headache." According to Erchen, you better go back and rest, there is a girl here to watch. ”
Zhao Kezhen said, then helped the Queen Mother to look in the palace and gave Yan'er a look: "You just keep an eye on it, without the Queen Mother's orders, you are not allowed to leave half a step." ”
Such a good scene, even if Yan'er is allowed to leave, Yan'er is reluctant to move. After suffering from Wei Yuanxi's idleness in the prince's mansion for so long, he finally raised his eyebrows today. Her belly is so big, how can she withstand the punishment of kneeling? Seeing that her face has begun to turn pale, if she kneels any longer, she should have a miscarriage, right? This is really a plan to kill two birds with one stone.
The plants in the Empress Dowager's palace had just turned over the soil, and there was a fragrance of rotting earth floating in the air. The spring flowers in the palace bloomed early, tender and yellow, just like the goose yellow pasted on the daughter's house. The smell of pollen and the fragrance of the earth mix with a strange smell.
Yuan Xi covered his mouth with a handkerchief, but he couldn't hide the strange smell. Her stomach was churning a little, but fortunately she hadn't had breakfast yet, otherwise she would have vomited all her internal organs. Right now, she just vomited a few mouthfuls of sour water, wetting her veil.
Yan'er hooked the corners of her lips: "Yo, Wei Niangniang, are you okay?"
Yuan Xi ignored her, such a cunning evil slave, when she was in the hidden mansion, she should have quietly killed her. Otherwise, it would not be her turn to be a cheap slave to make waves here.
Through the window, the Queen Mother heard Yan'er's harsh tone, and her heart throbbed. There are still four or five hours before it gets dark, do you really want her to kneel for four or five hours? What if her body can't bear it and she has a miscarriage? Her Rong Zhan's most beloved woman, Rong Zhan looks forward to the child in her belly, like the eternal night looking forward to the sunrise. If this child really has three strengths and two weaknesses, how can she, as a mother, explain to her son?
Zhao Kezhen saw the Queen Mother's anxious expression, and couldn't help but sneer: "Queen Mother, what are you in a hurry? It's still early this day, you might as well sit down and rest for a while, drink tea, and have some snacks." Quietly, recite a few volumes of Buddhist scriptures, and you are always so uncertain. ”
Zhao Kezhen said, took out a volume of "Myoho-renge-kyo" from the Queen Mother's bookcase, and presented it to the Queen Mother with both hands. The Queen Mother glanced at her, pulled the scriptures, and threw them on the ground. This volume of scriptures is folded, and she is told to throw it off, and the entire scripture is scattered, like white silk on the ground, fluttering on the ground.
"Zhao Kezhen, you don't pretend to be in front of the mourning family! There is no one here, you don't need to pretend to be a filial son and grandson. ”
Zhao Kezhen bent down and picked up the scroll, and rolled a scroll casually, like a circle of wool in her hand.
"Hypocritical? Hehe, why aren't you like this, Queen Mother? You keep saying that you have to do it, but in fact, isn't it also for yourself? You punish Wei Yuanxi, but because you don't dare to offend me. Are you afraid that I will hurt your beloved son, hehe, because Wei Yuanxi is not your biological son, and your daughter-in-law is not as valuable as your son, isn't it?" Zhao Kezhen sneered and looked at the Queen Mother: "What is Wei Yuanxi, if she is not pregnant with a child, the Queen Mother will never look at her more." But now that she has it in her belly, the Queen Mother is reluctant to punish her, isn't it? The Queen Mother's mouth full of maternal love and helplessness, in the final analysis, isn't it also in line with the interests of the move, not in line with the interests of the Queen? Say that I am hypocritical, and I also say that your old man has set a good example!"
"You!" the Queen Mother's heart was agitated, and her face turned red.
Zhao Kezhen didn't care, and only threw the scroll in her hand on the Queen Mother's bookcase casually: "Speaking of which, what is the difference between the Queen Mother and me? The Queen Mother said that I was hypocritical and said that I did evil, but in fact, didn't the Queen Mother do the same for those things? Hmph, the only difference is that the Queen Mother can still find a reason for her selfishness." ”
"You're talking nonsense! Nonsense!" The Queen Mother trembled angrily, she glanced out the window, Yuan Xi's body was a little shaky, but he was still kneeling unruly, staring intently, not moving an inch.
"If she kneels like this any longer, she will definitely have a miscarriage. Zhao Kezhen's face gradually showed a smile, this is what she wants. Xiao Rongzhan refused to touch her, that's good, no one in this palace wants to give birth to a child!
"You know, you did it on purpose!" The Queen Mother held on to the window lattice and looked at Yuan Xi with concern.
"Hmph, I did it on purpose, how?" Zhao Kezhen walked slowly to the Queen Mother and followed her gaze: "Oh, this Yuanxi sister's face doesn't look very good! ”
The Queen Mother turned her head indignantly and spat at Zhao Kezhen's face: "You know that she will not bow to a despicable villain like you if she dies." ”
Zhao Kezhen pursed her lips and was quite jealous of the Queen Mother's spit. She slowly lifted the handkerchief and wiped the saliva from her face. said coldly: "If the Queen Mother snorts well, the scolding is even better." Bengu knows that she won't bow her head, and that's what Bengu wants. Isn't she hard? Then it's better to kneel, and this palace wants to see if it's her hard backbone, or the hard bricks of the North Palace, the long hours of the day, or the longevity of the piece of meat in her belly. ”
"You! Shut up!" the Queen Mother grabbed Zhao Ke's shirt suddenly.
Zhao Kezhen glanced at it and said with a smile: "Queen Mother, what are you doing here, strangled me." Zhao Kezhen suddenly grabbed the Queen Mother's hand and said: "I know, everyone laughs at me Zhao Kezhen is not smart enough, hmph, but what's the use of being smart? Wei Yuanxi is smart enough, right? Even the former Prince He is not her opponent." What about now? Aren't you still honestly kneeling outside the palace? Let me tell you, it doesn't matter who is smart or not, what matters is who has the handle. ”
Zhao Kezhen stretched out her hand and stroked the queen mother's jaw, and said with a smile: "You have always been my handle all my life, so even if I am not smart, I can still point Wei Yuanxi to death." ”
"You ......" The Queen Mother stared at Yuan Xi outside the lattice window, and the cold sweat on her forehead had already dipped her broken hair into a few strands. The body shook slightly, did not hide his mouth and regurgitate for a while.
Zhao Kezhen followed the Queen Mother's gaze, looked out, and said with a smile: "It seems that she can't hold it anymore." ”
"You ......" The Queen Mother slowly leaned down, and she knelt in front of Zhao Kezhen: "Even if the mourning family begs you, let her go once, for the sake of the child who is pregnant with Rong Zhan in her belly, you can let her go." Didn't you say that you love Zhan'er? Do you have the heart to hurt Zhan'er's flesh and bones?"
Zhao Kezhen lowered her head and sneered with a crooked mouth: "Queen Mother, don't you understand? It's because I love the emperor that I can't let other women give birth to his child." ”
