The queen is alluring

Chapter 288

Leng Zhong's temples were already grey, his beard was hanging down to the skirt of his clothes, he stared at Eunuch Zhao's departing figure with deep eyes, thoughtful, his expression was tense, even the congratulations behind him and the queen's sudden joy couldn't cheer him up .He is a veteran of the three dynasties, and his wisdom is unparalleled. Therefore, when he saw the queen stepping down from the emperor's dragon chariot, he had already guessed something.

"Blessed is the old prime minister. General Leng has returned to court, and the queen has heard the news. It can be said to be a double blessing, and the merits are in Sheji." Wang Yanping, who had always been cold-faced, suddenly looked at Leng Zhong, his brows were slightly raised, and he said in a neutral tone.He is also old, his temples are all white, and his face has vicissitudes carved by the years. It can be seen that he has not had a good life in the past seven years.

Leng Zhong frowned, then stopped his thoughts, turned his head to look at Wang Yanping who was facing him, but smiled softly, and said, "Congratulations to Mr. Wang, too. The son-in-law is also your son-in-law. All these years, Zhan Tian It is not easy for the daughter-in-law to go deep into the general's residence while defending the territory for the country and supporting the Northern Chu in the fight against the Xiongnu. This old man here also congratulates Mr. Wang for having such a virtuous daughter, which adds a lot of glory to the Leng family. "

"Yes, yes, Lord Wang's daughter is still General Leng's wife. For so many years, the general's wife has gone deep into the world, and she is famous for her virtuousness. It is really admirable. Now that General Leng is back in court, it is also possible for the young couple to reunite. Because it is a beautiful event, a happy event, we should celebrate it." Behind Leng Zhong, an official greeted him with a smile.Immediately, their officials also followed suit, and rushed to congratulate Wang Yanping. In a short time, the daughter of the Wang family also became a model of Jinling women in an instant.

After the dynasty disbanded, Eunuch Zhao took the holy decree to announce the decree in the East and West Palaces, but the content was not to congratulate the queen on hearing the news, but that Yan Meiren lost her wife's virtue, colluded with Qi Rongdi to frame the queen, was demoted to the common people, and lived in the world matter.With this holy will, the entire harem was in an uproar. Many concubines and maids who usually looked up to Yan Meiren fainted from fright on the spot, fearing that they would be involved, and the palace where Yan Meiren used to live was also blocked. were all moved away.

As a result, the originally resplendent palace suddenly became empty, depressed and ruined.The maids and eunuchs who served Yan Meiren in the past knelt down in front of the palace crying. In fact, Yan Meiren was not a good master, but in the past years, because they were favored by the emperor, their status was higher than that of ordinary concubines. The maids are all taller, and now they suddenly fell off the horse, how can they not be sad?

Eunuch Zhao sent someone to seal the gate of the palace with a seal. Then he looked at the ladies in the palace with a cold expression, threw a white dust whisk on his arm, and said in a low voice: "You have also bullied many people in this harem on weekdays. , even the maids of Li Meiren and Hua Meiren have been beaten by you, and now that your master has been demoted, the palace naturally cannot accommodate you, but the empress is very kind, let you go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to collect some silver taels, and leave the palace , Those who should marry should marry, and those who should live should live."

When those maids heard this, they cried even more fiercely. The days outside are miserable, how can they be as happy as they follow Yan Meiren to run amok?So those palace maids immediately crawled to Eunuch Zhao's legs, grabbed his court clothes, and cried: "Mr. Palace, servants have no family members, and they will starve to death if they go out."

And those eunuchs also knelt and moved to the front, and said with tears in their eyes: "My lord, the slaves have entered the palace since childhood, and they have no support for a long time. If the lord is now sending the slaves out of the palace, the slaves will be killed." I can't find a way to survive. I also ask the head manager to be kind, even if I do an errand for the servant in the palace, the servant is willing."

Eunuch Zhao looked at the few people around his legs and feet coldly, shook his head and sighed helplessly, but still broke away from their entanglement in annoyance, and then said: "You can leave if you don't want to, but I can't be the master, there are rules in the palace too. , those who don’t want to go out of the palace, and those who don’t have a master, as long as you are willing, Gong’e can go to the imperial mausoleum in the back mountain to watch for the dead concubines. However, remember, this trip will last for five years. The imperial court will allocate it there for the rest of your life. As for those of you who have passed away, you will go to guard the imperial mausoleum. Bar"

Those maids and eunuchs were stunned, but Eunuch Zhao gave them a cold look, turned and left, and went to Jianzhang Palace to announce the decree.

In Jianzhang Palace, Concubine Fugui had already been crying beside the empress dowager's golden nanmu hibiscus couch, and she kept saying that she was sure that the empress was happy.And Eunuch Zhang on the side also sent the secret letters to the Queen Mother.

The Empress Dowager Wang is no longer as glamorous as she was back then. She looks haggard and still wears a bun, but the jewelry and clothes are very simple. She sits on the couch with her brows tightly drawn, listening to Fu Guifei's weeping crying, and then when he saw the secret letter in Eunuch Zhang's hand, his complexion turned blue.

The queen was almost 14 years old, and she was old enough to have children, but this incident caught her off guard.But she was still calm and composed, as if she was waiting for something.For seven years, since the Lishan incident, her scandal has been discovered by the emperor, so for these seven years, she has been imprisoned in this Jianzhang Palace. Apart from chanting Buddha every day, she even speaks very vehemently. few.

Concubine Fu didn't understand why the emperor let them live like this, but the queen mother was uncharacteristically meaningless.Because she understands the glory of the royal family and the temper of the emperor better than anyone else, if any woman in the harem does something that humiliates the royal family, she will be demoted to the common people, sent to the cold palace, and die in a miserable life. , This can be regarded as preserving the dignity and glory of the royal family.

However, she is still not reconciled, because the Wang family can't just decline in her hands. Even if her Wang family's daughter can't conceive a dragon seed, she won't allow that little evildoer of the Leng family to sit back and enjoy this glory.

However, this wish was shattered. For seven years, the emperor never recruited any concubines, let alone set foot in the cold palace. He turned this place into a dead city, forgotten in this empty and gorgeous corner.Later, Yan Meiren clamored that she thought she could use that stupid woman to break the taboo that the emperor no longer favors other concubines, but she never thought that she would actually fulfill Leng's little demon queen.
