Tell the lord, the princess has climbed the wall

Chapter 64

"The flowers are blooming very well, but in terms of scale, they are far inferior to Jingyue Lake." Bai Shan looked at the palm-sized lotus pond and couldn't help complaining in a low voice.

"What's the matter? Miss Shan'er went to Jingyue Lake to appreciate the lotus recently?" Concubine Cheng looked at Bai Shan with a smile, and raised her voice on purpose.

"Uh, no...no..." Bai Shan reacted fairly quickly, realized that she had said something wrong, and quickly changed her words, "The imperial concubine really knows how to joke, and Shan'er is a little girl who lives in a romantic place like Jingyue Lake. How can I go, I just heard my cousins ​​mention it, saying that the lotus there can’t be seen at a glance, and the scenery is very charming.”

"Really?" Cheng Guifei said meaningfully, "That's good..."

After the words fell, before the crowd reached the lotus pond, they heard a burst of mournful crying from behind the rockery obliquely in front of them, which made everyone's hair stand on end for a split second.

"Who's playing tricks there, get out!" Emboldened, Concubine Cheng took a step forward and yelled angrily at the place where she was crying.

"The imperial concubine, calm down, the imperial concubine, calm down!" Soon, accompanied by the sound of begging for mercy, two women, one old and one young, staggered out from behind the rockery. She looked like a maid.

As the two of them wiped their tears with their handkerchiefs while walking, Concubine Cheng did not recognize the identity of the person, but seeing that the old woman was dressed in a luxurious way, Fang managed to suppress the anger in his heart, "Which family do you two belong to? Didn’t you see that everyone was admiring the flowers with the Empress Dowager? There was nothing to hide there and weeping, it spoiled everyone’s interest in admiring the flowers, didn’t it?”

"Mother... Empress Dowager..." The old woman was startled when she heard this, and murmured, her eyes quickly searching the crowd.

Then, she quickly found the Empress Dowager in the crowd, rushed towards her and knelt down on the ground, "My...my wife Wang Zhou pays homage to the Empress Dowager, she is a thousand years old. Everything today is my wife's fault." , disturbed the Queen Mother's interest, please forgive me."

"You...you are Mrs. Wang?" The Empress Dowager Bai stared at the haggard old man in front of her for a long while, and then she said in shock, "If Aijia is right, aren't you the mother of Wang Yushi and Wang De? Why are you so old now? With such an appearance, why are you hiding here and crying alone on this day of great joy?"

This Wang Zhou family, the Queen Mother Bai still has some impressions in her early years, but in fact she is not too old, almost the same as the Queen Mother Bai.

Because her husband died early when she was young, she not only brought up her only son with painstaking efforts, but also unexpectedly cultivated a censor Wang De who knows everything about the past and present, and she is admired by both inside and outside the court.

A few years ago, the Empress Dowager Bai occasionally heard people sigh, saying that the fate of the Wang Zhou family was ill-fated, and that his son Wang Yushi managed to make a name for himself, but he has been childless for many years after marriage.

For this reason, Mrs. Wang and Zhou burned incense and prayed to Buddha and prayed everywhere. Later, due to her sincerity, her son finally got a young master. Unexpectedly, her daughter-in-law died because of this, and her grandson was also very weak due to premature birth.

Later, the emperor succeeded to the throne, and the nobleman Bai also became the current queen mother. After her high position and power, the white mother never heard these gossips again.

"Empress Dowager, my wife came to the banquet today. I didn't like this lotus... lotus..., so I couldn't help it..."

The Queen Mother Bai's question obviously hit Wang Zhou's pain point. She just said a few words, and then broke down in tears. Fortunately, the maid beside her was articulate, and quickly explained to the Queen Mother on her behalf,

"To the empress dowager, our old lady didn't intend to spoil everyone's interest, but just felt that the hall was so boring, so I didn't intend to wander here. Seeing the lotus in the pond, I was touched by the scene, and I couldn't help crying when I thought of Young Master Biao. .”

"Young Master Biao?" The queen mother was confused by hearing this, and couldn't help asking curiously, "What does the beauty of lotus flowers have to do with your Young Master Biao?"

"The empress dowager doesn't know something. Our cousin, who was only twenty years old, passed away suddenly when he went out to admire the lotus a few days ago..."

The Wang Zhou family on the side was still desperately suppressing it, but now hearing someone mentioning the relatives he lost, he couldn't help crying,

"Pan'er, my poor grandnephew, it's my aunt who is sorry for you.

You shouldn't have come to Dingcheng to see your aunt!

If you didn't come, you wouldn't have lost your life at such a young age, but the fierce...

"Bold Wang Zhou, today is Cheng Guifei's birthday banquet, a day of great joy, what a shame it is to cry here!"

Contrary to everyone's expectations, the Wang and Zhou clan burst into tears, and Concubine Cheng didn't say anything, but Empress Xu stood up and stopped shouting loudly, even defending Concubine Cheng in a rare way.

"No matter what sad things, you just need to talk about it after the banquet is over, how can it be the time to cry?" Empress Xu said and ordered the maids on the side, "You guys, help Mrs. Wang first Go down and rest..."

"Slow down!" Cheng Guifei interrupted Empress Xu with a smile, and paid a rare respect to Empress Xu, "The empress is eager to protect my sister, my sister is grateful for your kindness, and will always remember it in my heart!

It's just that Mrs. Wang is in such pain now, it's inevitable that my sister will be hasty to dismiss her in a few words.

After all, Wang Yushi has worked hard day and night for my court, and we have to treat his mother with courtesy and comfort, so you and my sisters have finally shared some worries for the emperor, right? "

"This..." Concubine Cheng moved out of Jiangshan Sheji, and her style improved a lot in an instant. Empress Xu was not easy to answer for a while.

"Well, what Yan'er said is indeed somewhat reasonable. At the critical moment, the overall situation is the most important thing, and it is not in vain that the emperor loves you for nothing!" Queen Xu hadn't figured out a countermeasure yet, and the Empress Dowager in the middle nodded affirmatively and stood up. On Cheng Guifei's side.

Seeing the Empress Dowager supporting her back, Concubine Cheng immediately regained her spirits, glanced triumphantly at Empress Xu, and happily ordered people to carry Wang Zhou into the gazebo. It was a gentle explanation,
"Mrs. Wang, don't be sad. If you have any sad things, just speak slowly. The Empress Dowager has always been a bodhisattva, and will definitely uphold justice for you."

"Yes, yes, what the imperial concubine said is that with the empress dowager here, the old lady's heart has finally found a master."

Encouraged by Concubine Cheng Gui, Wang Zhou narrated his tragic experience with snot and tears.

"You must have heard, Empress Dowager, that my daughter-in-law had a difficult labor when she gave birth, leaving only a frail premature grandson, and then passed away. The old woman has been afraid of this grandson all these years. I put it on my head for fear of falling, so I took care of it a hundred times more carefully. Unexpectedly, my grandson was over ten years old, and a wind and cold a few months ago took his life. Because of this, the old woman almost cried to death and lost her life Half-Life..."
