Destroyed outside, gold and jade inside

Chapter 246 Persecution
Fang Yan nodded, "It's good to have nothing to do, don't worry about other things, it's important to take care of yourself."

Shen Xinniang rolled her eyes helplessly, "It's only been more than ten days, and you won't allow me to do anything? If you start raising a baby from now on, wouldn't it be ten months?"

"No need, just be more careful. Now I'm not allowed to do anything, it's really boring!" Ziyang real person stroked his beard with a smile, "I'm afraid Mrs. Shen will get bored in the future, and she will resent me for letting this matter go too soon. speak out!"

Shen Xinniang ignored his words, and only gently shook Fang Yan's hand, shaking it from side to side, acting like a little girl coquettishly.

How could Fang Yan withstand her soft and pleading eyes, and nodded for some reason.

Shen Xinniang grinned, and began to discuss with him how to force Mrs. Yu to come out and admit the news of Yu Tai's serious illness.

After the two discussed it in detail, Shen Xiniang wrote a post to Mrs. Gongsun and some of the wives on the list Fang Yan gave her.Invite them to enter the palace together and visit the empress dowager.

The Empress Dowager's "sickness" is not a trivial matter. The Empress Dowager has no children at her knees. The Holy One is still young and has to work on state affairs. Someone must be by the Empress Dowager's side to take care of her sickness.Although the Empress Dowager didn't speak up, those of them who are courtiers must always take the initiative to think of it to be loyal and filial!

Such an opportunity, naturally no wife disagrees.

Although Gongsun Lan didn't care if she could express herself in front of the Queen Mother, she could make a good impression on the Holy Majesty.But she is very concerned about whether she can make friends with Mrs. Shen!How could Mrs. Shen refuse the opportunity to post a post?Naturally, he agreed.

After making an appointment, the King of Qi invited the Holy Majesty to order the wives to enter the palace to serve the Empress Dowager.

The Holy One is a pure and filial person, so he naturally agrees readily.

At that time, the wives who received the post had already entered the inner palace in sedan chairs in groups of three or five.

The gate of the Longfu Palace of the Empress Dowager is closed.No matter how the wives invite to see her, the maids only say that the queen mother is ill and do not want to see her.

"I just came here knowing that the Empress Dowager is ill. How could the Empress Dowager be short of someone who can take care of the sick? The Holy Majesty is young, and I wait for my ministers and wives to do my duty. The Empress is annoyed and doesn't want to see her." I wait, I have to go in and kowtow to the empress, leave one or two to serve the empress! I will never quarrel with the empress!" Mrs. Cai from the prime minister's family stepped forward and said.

The maid shook her head again and again, "The queen mother said, no one will be seen, all the ladies should go back first! The queen mother has her own female officer to serve her."

"How can that be done? How can a female official represent the loyalty of our courtiers?" Gongsun Lan also chimed in.

Mrs. Cai nodded again and again, "Don't talk too much, just report to the female officer next to the Queen Mother. I don't believe that she can stop us from being a courtier?"

The palace maid looked puzzled, no matter where the female officials dared not let them in, it was clearly the Empress Dowager who ordered not to let anyone in.

With so many people and so many pairs of eyes, how could it be impossible to see the real disease and pretend to be sick?If people can see that the empress dowager is pretending to be sick, wouldn't that be a big deal for the empress dowager?

"Ladies, let's go back first! It's not that the ladies don't want the ladies to visit the Empress Dowager. The lady just drank the medicine and fell asleep. Now, let the ladies go in. Wouldn't it be disturbing for the lady to rest?" said the maid, "Ladies He is the most reasonable, and he must have experience in caring for patients at home, how could he not know that patients need rest most of all!"

All the ladies did not speak, but a calm and gentle voice came from behind, "It's okay, since the Queen Mother just fell asleep, we naturally don't want to disturb you."

When the maid heard this, she finally had a sensible person, and she nodded hurriedly, "What madam said is true, what she said is true!"

Everyone heard the words, turned their heads, and saw the small face as delicate as fine porcelain white jade, a pair of black and white eyes, as bright as the moon, vermilion lips slightly parted, moist and shining, and the voice was faint, neither aggressive nor humble, "Since I have the intention to serve the Empress Dowager, what's the point of waiting for a while? The empress only needs to rest, and I will stand outside this palace gate. When the empress wakes up, I will talk about other things."

"What the concubine is talking about is reasonable, so as not to make people think that we are just doing superficial work, and let people see our sincerity!" Gongsun Lan saw that it was Shen Xinniang who was speaking, and quickly echoed.

When the other ladies heard the words, no matter whether they wanted it in their hearts or not, they all agreed on their faces.

Everyone stood outside the palace gate, not arguing to go in, but they also put on a posture that they would never leave easily.

This is a worry for the maids, it's fine to just stand outside one or two.There are so many wives and ladies standing outside. Although it is not yet the twelfth lunar month of winter, the wind is blowing, and it will be bone-chillingly cold if they stand for a long time!Frozen, but they are all the family members of the court officials, and then hate the empress dowager, what should I do?

The palace maid told the palace people nearby to watch, and she went in to report in a hurry.

The Empress Dowager was sitting in the Nuan Pavilion playing Shuanglu with a respectable female official. When she heard the report from the maid, she immediately dropped the pawn in her hand, "What is this? Do you force Aijia? When I heard that Aijia was ill, I bullied Aijia. The head is coming? If you want to stand, let them stand! Stand for as long as you like!"

The maid quickly knelt down and said in a low voice: "The sky outside is not warm, if it freezes people to death..."

"Whatever I want, I can't blame the Ai family if I get frozen!" Shi Yu snorted coldly.

The court lady wanted to persuade her again, how could Mrs. Yu listen to her.

She waved her hand and said impatiently: "Stand back, if they stand still and don't leave, you can just tell them to stand, come in and report after they leave!"

The maid had to take orders to retreat.

The small wind outside was whizzing.The wives were all standing outside the palace gate, not moving, and it was tiring to stand like this.But seeing that Prince Qi and Princess Qi didn't move, others didn't move either.

On the tall Longclaw pagoda tree, yellow leaves drooped with the wind, and palace people with brooms kept passing by. When they saw a group of luxuriously dressed ladies and ladies standing outside the gate of Longfu Palace, they couldn't help but look sideways and whispered in private. whisper.It was spread in the palace that the wives were unable to see the sick.Before the wives even went out, the news had already spread to the previous dynasty and outside the palace.

The so-called selfless affairs of the royal family are all affairs of the world.There are no absolute secrets in the palace, let alone such a large group of people, they can't hide it standing up.

There are different opinions on this matter, but there are generally two voices. One said that the wives originally had good intentions, but they acted like this, which inevitably smacked of coercion, which was really inappropriate.One said, if the Empress Dowager is too high, she is ill, and all the courtiers are loyal, so what if they are summoned?Could it be that there is something shameful about this sudden illness?This is why life and death are not allowed to see the wives?

Obviously, in the latter point of view, it is more interesting to gossip. There is no shortage of people who love to gossip at any time in this world, especially the privacy of the royal family has attracted more attention.The faint latter theory gained the upper hand, and everyone speculated one after another, what happened to the empress dowager?Sick but refuses to be served by others, and even refuses to see him?Could it be that this little widow is pregnant?
It has been several years since the former emperor collapsed. If such a big scandal is caused, it will really lose the face of the royal family!
The more things were said, the more outrageous they became. The wives were still standing outside the palace gate and hadn't left the palace yet. This rumor has already spread wantonly among the princes and nobles.

King Qi naturally also heard about the fact that the wives were guarded outside the Longfu Palace.Looking at the weather, his baby Xin'er was pregnant again, it was too hard to stand like this.If you only care about Xin'er, it will make people feel unfair, and it will cause Xin'er to be jealous for no reason.Fang Yan walked around outside the Hall of Qinzheng, and then walked around the official office where the cabinet ministers gathered.

After mentioning a few hints, there really was a smart one who immediately understood the meaning, and immediately sent the servant back to the mansion to fetch the lady's cloak.

Not long after, a large pile of cloaks from various families were sent outside Longfu Palace by the palace people.

The wives of each family got their own cloaks, and they knew that their husbands cared for them. Isn't this another way of supporting themselves?Standing outside the palace gate more vigorously.

When the empress dowager was setting up lunch in the palace, Mrs. Yu saw the maid standing aside with her head bowed, she glanced upwards from time to time, and when she saw her looking over, she quickly lowered her head again.Yu knew that the palace maids had something to say, so she hesitated to speak, so it was decided that it was the ordered women who were guarding outside the palace gate and wanted to come to see her.In the past, when the late emperor was here, he had never seen such a thing. The master in the palace was sick and didn't want to see anyone, and the servant was outside, forcing him to meet?

Mrs. Yu snorted coldly, and ignored the maid, just bowed her head and ate in silence. After eating, let the female officer around her support her, and walked slowly under the veranda with carved beams and painted buildings, surrounded by mountains and greenery, listening to the words hanging in the corridor. Thrushes, parrots and other birds twittered, sniffing the slightly bitter fragrance of chrysanthemums, as if they had forgotten the wives who were waiting outside the palace.

"Empress Dowager..." The little maid at the back couldn't help it, the maid at the gate of the palace had come secretly to report several times.Now that the lunch time is over, which of the wives outside is not pampered at home?Standing for such a long time, not a drop of water, not a grain of rice, is it really good or bad?Even the queen mother can't explain it, right?
"The golden chrysanthemums are blooming well. I cut a few and put them in the palace." Yu Shi deliberately interrupted the maid's words, and said in a leisurely tone.

The female officer holding Yu's hand quickly responded.Yu Shi hooked the corner of her mouth and snorted coldly.The maids who followed behind did not dare to make a sound.

After slipping around for a while, Mrs. Yu went back to the dormitory for an afternoon nap.

The wives standing outside the gate of Longfu Palace, although they have the cloak of care from their husbands, they don't feel cold anymore, but there is no food in their stomachs, and their calves are trembling after standing for so long.

"Ma'am, what's wrong with you, ma'am?" A little maid exclaimed.

When everyone heard the reputation, they saw the wife of Li Pushe's family, shaking and almost fell down.

"Madam Li is in poor health, so don't stay here and go back to the mansion first. Don't wait for the Empress Dowager, but take care of yourself first." The maid in the palace gate hastily persuaded.
