6-201 Hedong Lion's Roar
Qin Mansion.
The sky was already bright, and the pale cyan sky shone into the compound. Slaves everywhere began to blow out lamps and pull out wax. In the main hall, Qin Hui's wife and Mrs. Yipin Wang were as anxious as ants on a hot pot, walking in circles in the hall, stretching their necks to look out from time to time, and urging their subordinates to go to the door again to greet the master.
Qin Hui's only son, Qin Xi, was sitting on the Taishi chair next to him, and his court clothes were already crumpled. His eyes were deeply pinched, and his face was full of tiredness that he couldn't hide. He has sent someone to the palace to investigate, and is now waiting for news.
This son of the imperial master has no resemblance to Qin Hui in appearance. Qin Hui is dry, thin, pointy, and has inverted eyebrows, but he has a rectangular face. This is because in fact, Qin Xi is not Qin Hui's biological son, he is the son of the concubine of Mrs. Wang's brother. Qin Hui and Wang's have no children, and Wang's is the No. 1 vinegar jar in Tianzi, Qin Hui is afraid of being afraid of taking concubines, so he accepts his wife's brother's concubine as his own son. Qin Xi, who is thirty years old, is already a hot third-grade member in the court, and his promotion so quickly is naturally inseparable from Qin Hui.
At this moment, the subordinate hurriedly reported, "The chief manager is back!"
Qin Fu walked into the compound quickly. He is in his forties, with a round face and a round figure, but he is very agile in his movements. Qin Fu has been the chief housekeeper of the Qin Mansion for many years, and he is used to being considerate of people, flexible wrists, and smiling when he sees people. Even the current emperor, Zhao Gou, knows him. He is the most useful person under Qin Hui.
He had just returned from the palace, and for the first time he looked gloomy without a smile on his face.
This time is very different. In the past, as long as I said hello, a lot of waiters ran over, and I already knew the news without giving money. But today, I don't know what's going on, all the chamberlains are hiding from Qin Fu like a plague god, and finally find a waiter who usually has a good relationship, stuffed a piece of Lantian jade or refused to say anything, and was anxious, so he held back a sentence: "The Heavenly Master of the Protector does not wait to see the Taishi, and the Taishi kneels in the Vertical Arch Hall to face the saint." After saying that, he quickly ran away.
Qin Fu knew that the Heavenly Master of the Protector of the Kingdom had a holiday with his master five years ago. Finally, the Heavenly Master left, and the old man climbed up again, but he didn't expect that the Heavenly Master had just been promoted to the Taishi, Qin and Wei, and the damn Heavenly Master was back!
What bad luck! Qin Fu sighed, walked up to the Wang family with his head bowed, and carefully told what had happened. As he spoke, he looked at the Wang family, and he was really sweating in his heart.
The Wang family was really furious, and suddenly the Hedong lion roared: "I don't know which miscellaneous Taoist priest who ran out of the mountains dares to go against our master!
Immediately shouted: "Xiaomei Xiaocui, serve and change clothes! Take out the first-class phoenix crown and xia veil, the old lady wants to enter the palace to see the queen mother! Cry our master!"
Wang Shi moved his short legs, and his whirlwind-like body immediately went to the inner courtyard, Qin Xi frowned, knowing his mother's hot temper, he wanted to persuade him, but after thinking about it, he also began to order to change clothes.
If you want to make trouble, you have to make a big noise.
After changing clothes, he went to his second father's study, took out an inconspicuous red sandalwood box from the lower level of the Bogu shelf, personally took out the key from his arms, twisted the small copper lock, and carefully took out a letter wrapped in yellow silk from it.
He still remembered his father's words.
I remember that four days ago, my father entered the palace to face the saint, and not long after he was suddenly carried back, his face was pale and very ugly. Without saying a word, he entered the study and pointed to the box and said: "For my father, it is estimated that he will be announced into the palace soon, if there is a change, you quickly take the things in it and go to the palace to find the queen mother." Remember, the life of a father is in this thing. Millions, millions!"
Sure enough, three days later, that is, yesterday, my father never came back after entering the palace, and he didn't send a letter back from the palace all night. I and my mother were terrified. Now that my mother has acted, she simply took out this thing, and she didn't believe that the official family would not give an explanation to the Qin family.
The two of them made up according to the product, and they were very grand, and went straight to the imperial city in a sedan chair, and handed a sign at the gate of the palace, not a face saint, but a product of Qin and Wei, and the duchess and their sons to the queen mother to say goodbye.
Empress Dowager Wei was feeling uncomfortable, since she was scolded by Chu Xuan that day, she was "sick" and had been "bedridden" for three days. Even when the emperor came to greet him, he just said a few words of motherhood and filial piety through the curtain. The mother and son have unresolved knots, and they are both a little distant.
Zhao Gou was afraid that the queen mother would be too careful, but the Empress Dowager Wei really felt that she had no face to see the emperor.
Wu Guifei decided to save at dawn and dusk, and she had to come and go at least three times a day, and she was still very satisfied with this daughter-in-law. But thinking that she heard all Chu Xuan's words in her ears that day, Empress Dowager Wei was still very uncomfortable, so she still said a few words through the curtain and sent away.
is like this for the favorite Wu Guifei, I heard that the Duchess of Qin Wei came to ask for peace, how could she possibly see it. Said through the curtain: "The mourning family is unwell, please come back another day." ”
Xiao Huangmen snorted: "The Duchess said that she would not leave if she could not see the Queen Mother." ”
Empress Dowager Wei had a headache. However, since returning to Luan, I have always been generous and generous, but now I suddenly picked up the shelf, and it is really bad to think about it. She had no choice but to say: "Help the mourning family get up and change clothes, and the Duchess of Xuanqin and Wei come in." ”
Xiao Huangmen wanted to say something, but his lips moved and he didn't say anything, and turned around to announce people.
When the Wang family heard that Empress Dowager Wei had announced that she had come to see her, she immediately came to her senses, and rushed to Cining Hall with Qin Xi all the way.
When I arrived at Cining Palace, I saw the figure of the Empress Dowager Wei sitting behind the bead curtain, and immediately felt sad, and the two eyebrows that were painted green and thick twisted, and immediately snot and tears were sparse, and I finally didn't forget to kowtow to the Queen Mother, and after kowtowing, I crooked on the spot, and immediately began to cry:
"Queen Mother, you have to be the master of the old body! Our family master has carried many infamy and cold knives in the field for the birth and death of the official family, and finally helped the official family to sit firmly in the Dragon Court and welcomed the old man back from the north. Now it's good that a miscellaneous Taoist priest who came from nowhere dares to participate in the affairs of the imperial court, take advantage of our family's master to make a big fuss. The Queen Mother, you must be the master of the old body, and you can't just watch it!"
She splashed in court, patted her thighs and cried, the phoenix crown on her head was crooked, her face was full of fat and powder, and her round face was colorful and unsightly.
Empress Dowager Wei was dumbfounded, shocked and angry in her heart. Only then did I know that there had been such a change in the past two days. He never asked about the affairs of the court, and let the emperor call the shots, but the emperor was determined to deal with Qin Hui?
As soon as he wanted to speak, he saw that the little yellow door who was serving him next to him had a different face, and he seemed to have something to say. She looked at him and beckoned to him. Xiao Huangmen immediately came over and whispered.
Only then did Empress Dowager Wei understand who the miscellaneous Taoist priest Wang was talking about, it was Chu Hongzi Heavenly Master! This person, her scalp tingled when she thought about it, and she didn't want to go through this troubled water.
Qin Xi has been kneeling with his head bowed behind his mother, but if he thinks he is very honest, it is wrong, although he can't hear what Xiao Huangmen said, but Empress Dowager Wei's face changed, he could see it clearly, and immediately moved it quietly, and pulled his mother's clothes that were still sprinkled on the ground.
Wang's eyes rolled, his crying quieted down, and the person seemed to be less energetic, and began to sobble quietly.
Empress Dowager Wei saw that it was a crack, and hurriedly said: "Duchess of Qin and Wei, please get up, you don't like it to mourn like this." Besides, you also know that the mourning family never asks about the affairs of the court outside, and only recites Buddha in the deep palace. The matter of Qin Taishi's mourning family is indeed unclear. It's better for the Duchess of Qin Wei to go back to the house first and wait, and then go to pass on to you when the mourning family hears the news. In the past few days, the mourning family has not been in good health, alas, you are so noisy, the mourning family has a terrible headache, and they are going to lie down. ”
After speaking, regardless of Wang's support for the little yellow door, he got up and prepared to enter.
Wang was suddenly anxious, and just wanted to pounce on it, when he saw Qin Xi suddenly crawl forward a few steps and kowtow desperately, and said loudly: "Queen Mother, please save my father from your old man." I have here a secret decree written by the Holy One, which states that if the exchange of Yue Fei's head for the Queen Mother's return to the Dynasty is exposed, my father will not bear the slightest responsibility!
He held aloft the secret decree wrapped in yellow silk and bowed deeply.
Wang's spirits perked up, and he began to pat his thigh and cry again: "Poor master! Blocking the knife and cold arrows for the birth and death of the official family, and saving the Queen Mother Huiluan, but in the end it ended up like this! My affectionate and righteous lord! Why are you so loyal? You are so worried about the affairs of the heavenly family, but what did you get in exchange for in the end? My affectionate and righteous lord......
She kept saying that my affectionate and righteous lord could hear all the maids in the hall with cold hairs standing up and nauseous. Empress Dowager Wei was at a loss, and holding her head really began to feel a headache.
The attendant of the Cining Hall quietly slipped out of the palace and went straight to report to the emperor.
Zhao Gou was refreshed at this time. He took all the bowl of Dan soup last night, drank a small sip and immediately felt "okay", and tossed it until the second half of the night to fall asleep satisfied. At this moment, he just got up, and after putting on the dragon robe, he carefully put the precious silver bottle at the head of the bed into his arms, pressed it tightly to his chest, turned around and touched the beautiful little palace maid behind him, and whispered in her ear: "I will decree today that you will be crowned a talented person." Little girl, rest well, I will spare you from kneeling, and I will come to see you again in the evening. ”
After that, he helped the little yellow door and walked towards the vertical arch hall.
That "talented man" didn't dare to make a mistake, although he didn't go to the ground, he kowtowed on the pillow, and when he saw Zhao Gou gone, he collapsed softly on the bed. It's not unsurprising in my heart, it is said that the emperor is "not good", but according to last night, it doesn't seem to be "no", which is really strange...... Thinking about it, the face of this little palace maid who was new to personnel quietly turned red......
Before the vertical arch hall arrived, he saw the inner attendant of the Empress Dowager's Cining Hall hurrying over, and when he said this, Zhao Gou was suddenly furious: "It's the opposite! The Queen Mother has been in poor health these days, and that old pious woman dares to go to the Empress Dowager, and quickly take it down from the front of the palace, blast out of the imperial city, and never be allowed to see the Empress Dowager again!"
The waiter was embarrassed, and whispered a few words in his ear, Zhao Gou's face turned blue and pale, and he was stunned.
The secret decree was written by himself, which was equivalent to a record of his crimes, and it said that if there was an accident, he should share it with Qin Hui and pardon him for all his crimes.
In other words, that secret decree was equivalent to the gold medal he gave to Qin Hui to avoid death. How is this good? Forget about this important thing!
Zhao thought about it helplessly, and was about to go to Chu Hongzi, but he was afraid that he would scold him; if he didn't go, the queen mother wouldn't come; if he went by himself, he would not only be unable to break the siege, but also even more embarrassed. The more I think about it, the more headaches I get.
A great emperor turned left and right under the rising sun, and he hesitated.
Suddenly, a clear voice came from his ears: "The emperor got up early!"
Zhao Gou raised his head and saw that Li Hong's dark eyes were looking at him without blinking.
