Chapter 136: The Tang Family's Response
Out of the gate of the Tang Mansion, a simple carriage was already waiting there, and when the groom saw the old lady walking out, he hurriedly knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "Old lady!"
"Get up!" The old lady glanced at the white-haired groom and said with emotion, "Little Liuzi, you should have been in our Tang Mansion for more than forty years!"
"Back to the old lady!" Ma Fu was very excited when he heard the old lady's inquiry, and replied hurriedly, "The little one who sold himself into the Tang Mansion when he was six years old has been fifty years now. ”
The old lady nodded and said, "Okay!" Turning her head to Tang Qianzhi beside her, she said, "Tell me to go down and buy a comfortable house for Xiao Liuzi, bring his family from the countryside, and give them some capital to do some small business." ”
"Yes!" my grandson wrote it down!" Tang Qianzhi bowed and replied.
Ma Fu's eyes were filled with tears, and he suddenly knelt down on the ground again and said, "Xiao Liuzi's body is quite strong, and he still wants to serve the old lady for a few more years." ”
The old lady waved her hand and said, "Let it be settled!" After speaking, she got into the carriage with the support of the maid.
Outside the purple-red palace wall, a middle-aged man with gray hair knelt motionless at the palace gate, and the soldiers standing guard next to him all looked at him with worried faces, but no one dared to persuade him.
At this moment, a carriage appeared at the end of the straight road, and the soldiers guarding the palace gate suddenly became nervous, clenched the spears in their hands, and kept their eyes on the carriage.
The carriage came to a slow stop outside the palace gate, and a young man with clear eyebrows jumped off the wheel, then lifted the curtain and lifted an old lady from the carriage.
As soon as the old lady got out of the carriage, she saw the figure kneeling in front of the palace gate, and snorted heavily, obviously extremely dissatisfied.
Tang Qianzhi hurriedly walked to the middle-aged man and said softly, "Father, grandmother is here!"
The gray-haired man hurriedly looked back, saw the old lady hurriedly turned in the same direction, lowered his head, and said, "Mother, why are you here?"
"The family is in chaos like this, can I still sit down with this old bone?" the old lady glared at him and shouted, "What's the use of kneeling here?
This gray-haired man is Tang Zixi's father, General Tang Mingru Tang, at this moment, his face does not see the demeanor of the general who is galloping on the battlefield, but with a trace of sadness, he heard his mother's scolding and smiled bitterly: "Mother doesn't know anything." This time things were different from before, Ren'er's whereabouts were unknown, the lives of the seven princes were in danger, and the Tatars even sent envoys to bargain with Daqin. Your Majesty was furious, and Concubine Shuniang asked Xiao Luzi to pass the word, telling me to wait first, and when Your Majesty is a little angry, I will send someone to pass it on!"
The old lady's eyes changed uncertainly, obviously thinking about the ins and outs of the whole thing, and when she heard the last sentence, she couldn't help but glance at him, and said coldly: "Did the lady let you kneel?"
"Not really!" Tang Mingru hurriedly replied.
The crutches in the old lady's hand paused heavily on the ground, and shouted: "When is the son of the Tang family so weak, you stand up for me!"
"Yes, mother!" Tang Mingru didn't dare to disobey his mother and hurriedly stood up, who knew that his legs were numb after kneeling for too long, and he knelt down again, Tang Qianzhi hurriedly stepped forward to help.
"You wait here, Zhi'er will accompany me to see the Queen Mother!" The old lady snorted coldly and stopped looking at him, and strode towards the majestic palace gate, Tang Qianzhi hurriedly followed and hugged her.
The old lady, as a first-class lady, has the permission of the emperor to enter and leave the palace gate at will, and she really doesn't pay much attention to idlers.
The soldiers guarding the gate naturally did not dare to stop her, and when they saw her striding forward, they quickly got out of the way, and bowed.
It's not that they are afraid of the illustrious power of the Tang family, as soldiers guarding the door for the Son of Heaven, they will only be loyal to the Son of Heaven alone, and the reason why they are respectful to the old lady is entirely because they respect this white-haired old lady.
Not only these two guards guarding the door, but also the descendants of the soldiers who followed their couple on the battlefield back then, they basically respected this gray-haired female woman very much.
This is her prestige, and it is also the glory of her life!
The Temple of Nourishing the Heart.
A middle-aged man wearing a dragon robe with a wide face and a broad nose was sitting on the dragon chair looking at a piece of music in his hand, his expression gradually became iron-blue, and suddenly he slammed the music fold fiercely, and said angrily: "It's too much to deceive people! It's too much to deceive!" As if he was still angry, he suddenly waved his hand and swept all the things on the table to the ground, and the white porcelain tea cup that had just been replaced fell to the ground again, making a crisp cracking sound.
The palace maid and eunuch who were waiting suddenly knelt on the ground, trembling and not daring to make a sound.
"The lady lady is here!"
At this moment, the eunuch's slender and loud voice came from afar.
The subordinates in the Heart Cultivation Hall suddenly secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that their little life was saved today.
The man on the dragon chair was stunned at first when he heard this voice, and then a beautiful figure instantly appeared in his mind, and his face, which had been somewhat deformed due to anger, quickly returned to normal.
A shrill voice came from outside the hall gate: "Your Majesty, the lady concubine has arrived!"
"Biography!"
Hearing this majestic and cold voice inside the door, the woman in palace clothes standing outside the door smiled slightly, and as the door of the palace was pushed open, the woman in palace clothes walked in with the money, and said, "The concubine sees the emperor!"
"You don't have to be polite!"
Seeing his most beloved concubine, the emperor's anger disappeared without a trace, and he said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Come here, come to me!"
"Yes!"
Concubine Shu replied in a low voice, and then walked slowly to the desk around the mess on the ground, and there was already a personal palace maid next to her who walked to her side with a tray, she took out a delicate white porcelain bowl from the tray, gently placed it in the emperor's hand, and said softly: "Your Majesty, this is the almond tea made by the concubine herself, how do you taste it." ”
The emperor very obediently took a sip of the teacup, the temperature was just right, obviously the tea maker was very attentive, calculated the distance from the imperial dining room to the heart palace, the temperature was just right, he smiled: "Concubine Ai has a heart! These things are just left to the imperial dining room, why bother with the concubine herself." ”
Concubine Shulian stepped forward and stood behind the emperor, a pair of soft wattles gently pinched the emperor's shoulders, and said softly: "Your Majesty's words will torment the concubines." Your Majesty has been worried about state affairs recently, not eating well and sleeping well, not to mention the hard work, the concubine is just a small effort, how can it be said that it is hard. Moreover, being able to prepare for His Majesty are the blessings of the concubines, and others can't ask for it!"
The emperor suddenly laughed, stroked Concubine Shu's hand and sighed: "It's still the concubine who feels the most distressed!" After speaking, he didn't know what he thought of, and snorted lightly.
Concubine Shu's expression changed slightly when she heard this soft hum, and then she smiled as usual: "The queen mother is also very distressed about Your Majesty! The concubine heard that the queen mother has been eating fasting and praying for the blessing of the tomb recently, and everyone has lost a lot of weight, and Your Majesty should persuade the queen mother if he is free." ”
