Second-hand lady

Chapter 27

Outside the Chonghua Palace, a man in a court dress stood with his back facing the sun. The cool autumn wind in late autumn passed through the wide sleeves, bringing a chill, but the man didn't seem to feel it, and looked at the main hall of the Chonghua Palace. direction.

The palace people who came and went around took a sneak peek, and when they saw the unparalleled beauty of that man, they couldn't help but blushed quietly in amazement, and then there were a lot of screams unexpectedly, it turned out that it was because they looked too much. I fell into it without paying attention to the road ahead and accidentally collided with someone who was walking and fell down.

Wang Gonggong, who came out of the hall, saw this scene, and couldn't help but feel a little black, thinking that this couple is really a perfect match, why do they feel like a scourge?Thinking of Mrs. Wen who was so angry that the queen mother could not speak in the hall just now, and looking at Mrs. Wen who is waiting to be interviewed now, the prince suddenly felt that it was too hard for the queen mother to be serious with them.

"Master Wen, the Empress Dowager is busy, and she told you...to let you..."

Seeing the embarrassment on the prince's face, Wen Liang took the initiative to answer: "Does the Empress Dowager ask me to come back at another time?"

Wang Gonggong hurriedly laughed and said: "Look at what your lord said, the empress dowager is really busy, so you don't have to go in and visit her old man if you have nothing to do. If you have such a heart, she will be very happy."

The smile on Wen Liang's lips remained unchanged, and he sighed: "I don't feel at ease if I only have this heart but I don't act. And the Queen Mother is wrong. I am not here this time to visit her old man, but to hear that my wife was called She has entered the palace, and with her blunt mind, she is afraid that she will say something bad to make the empress dowager unhappy, so why don't you come here to have a look?"

Isn't that right, the words that choked people to death as soon as they opened their mouths, made the empress dowager so aggrieved that she couldn't say a word.And even Princess Su is here, who can bully her?

Wen Liang was not annoyed when he asked for instructions from the Queen Mother for the second time and still did not receive him. He thanked the prince who had made two trips, and left.Seeing him leave so easily, Wang Gonggong felt a little uneasy for some reason, the scalp tingling feeling as if a catastrophe was imminent.Having said that, Wen Zixiu was the military adviser of the wise emperor of Great Chu, so he gave up so easily, how could it make people feel that he was planning a new round of schemes?
I just hope that the Empress Dowager will not be too embarrassed in the end, otherwise they will be very distressed as servants.

In the main hall, the queen mother saw that the prince did not come in to report again, and was satisfied with his gentle and understanding, but in a blink of an eye, seeing the two bastards standing and sitting in the hall, the feeling of headache suddenly appeared again.

Seeing the Queen Mother supporting her head, Princess Su immediately said caringly, "Queen Mother, are you feeling unwell? Do you want to call the imperial doctor?"

The Empress Dowager moved her hand away expressionlessly, looked at her lightly, and said in her heart: As long as you don't feel angry about your family, nothing will happen to your family!
Miss Rucui also persuaded: "Your Majesty, you can't hide your illness from medical treatment. If you are sick, you have to be cured, otherwise it will be too late to regret it in the future. As the saying goes, money is hard to buy. If you know it, there will be no one when you regret it.... "

"Shut up!" The queen mother couldn't bear it and said angrily, staring at them sharply, she really couldn't understand how things would turn out like this, she just wanted to punish this woman who robbed the son-in-law she had reserved for the eldest princess , she is clearly in her own territory, but why is this girl so difficult to deal with?Right now, hearing her voice gave her a feeling of boredom, which made her almost want to throw her out, out of sight.

Miss Rucui smacked her mouth, although it was a pity, but she would not be so shameless in this kind of place, and shut up as the Queen Mother wished.

The Queen shook her head secretly, the Queen Mother was cheated by Concubine Su, and now there is a bastard who cheated people like Concubine Su, no wonder she would feel a headache.Looking at the expressions of the Eldest Princess and the Second Prince, they also looked a little bit aggrieved, especially when they were facing the little princess of Su Wang's Mansion, as cousins, they couldn't sit still.

"Grandmother, did Aunt Cui do something wrong?" Little Baozi asked childishly with his big black grape-like eyes open.

The queen mother hooked her lips and nodded to the little girl. Sure enough, facing the granddaughter who looked like a younger son was much better than those two annoying women.Although Princess Su's entry into the palace was beyond her expectation, the queen mother still planned to make a certain woman suffer.

"What did you do wrong?"

"She hurt your eldest sister and second brother." The queen mother smiled, trying to lure the little guy, "Yun'er said, should she be punished?"

The little bun looked directly at the eldest princess and the second prince, and under the stare of that extremely serious little face, the two quickly straightened their backs, not daring to be careless.It's not that they are afraid of a three-year-old child, it's just that this face looks too much like Uncle Su's, which puts them under a lot of pressure.Who doesn't know that it's good to provoke anyone in this world, just don't provoke Uncle Su, otherwise even the emperor can't save you.Moreover, King Su's aura is too strong, every time they face him, they always feel weak and weak, and they are completely overwhelmed.

The little bun looked at them for a while, but shook his head and said, "Aunt Cui will not be punished!" After thinking for a while, he tried to organize his words: "Aunt Cui is very good, she won't hurt anyone."

"...Your elder sister and second elder brother are also very good!" The queen mother said unwillingly.

Little Baozi raised his head, with his little hands behind his back, imitating her father's usual stern seriousness, and said solemnly, "You're not good, so you got hurt! Your face, your feet, you're really not good!" Little Baozi Pointing to the face of the second prince and the feet of the eldest princess respectively.

"..."

The queen mother was finally furious, and got angry at Princess Su: "What did you teach Yun'er? How could Yun'er have such wrong ideas? If you don't know how to teach your children, you can send her to the palace to beg for tutoring!"

Concubine Su, who was sprayed directly, didn't mind the queen mother's anger, but said innocently: "Mother, Yun'er has always been taught by the prince, and the daughter-in-law can't get in the way." She smiled shyly as she spoke, feeling embarrassed Said: "The lord said that the concubine has a small brain and can't teach the children the truth, so the concubine doesn't have to worry about educating the children, and just serve the queen with peace of mind. The wife also thinks it makes sense."

The Empress Dowager was once again speechless by this shameless daughter-in-law, isn't this a compliment to you?Moreover, aren't girls generally taught by their mothers after they remember?What do you mean by asking the prince to be a big man to teach your daughter?Could it be that in the future, the prince will also teach the female celebrity to give to the housekeeper?
"Confused! Yun'er is a girl, and you should have been carefully taught by your mother, but you have pushed it cleanly." The queen mother pointed at Princess Su and scolded: "Is it true that when Qi Bai grows up in the future, you mother The concubine doesn't care anymore?"

"Mother, you have really wronged your daughter-in-law." Concubine Su cried out loudly, "It was the prince who said that our Yun'er is the princess of Su Wang's mansion, and he should teach him, and we can't let women be better than women!"

The queen mother became even more angry, and the fan in her hand was about to be deformed. "What do you mean? You can't raise Yun'er as a boy?"

"Absolutely not! The prince just thinks that women are not inferior to men. If Yun'er likes it, it's okay to let her study." Princess Su said solemnly, her heart was silent, and she didn't want to be like this, but who told your son to Is the goal to train your granddaughter to be the heir to Su Wangfu?The plan was drawn up until she got married, so there was no way to change it now.

Seeing the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law arguing about the education of the little princess, the people in the hall shouted in their hearts: Hey, hey, are you in a crooked way? Today's protagonist is watching with a smile on his face. Shouldn't we deal with her first?

The queen, the eldest princess and the second prince all looked helpless, but seeing that the queen mother was obviously so angry by Princess Su that she no longer insisted on what happened last night, the three of them also breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, hoping that the queen mother would be confused, and then put They all blasted out of the Chonghua Palace, and she probably would not have the face to summon them again afterwards. It is good for everyone that the matter is resolved in this way. If too many people are involved in the investigation, the consequences will be too great, and the palace will not be able to lose face.

At this moment, the prince came in and bowed to report: "The empress dowager, the emperor, King Su, and Lord Wen Liang are here."

For a moment, everyone in the hall lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at the queen mother's face. This bitter look... really makes people feel sad.

"... Xuan."

Hearing the Empress Dowager's weak voice, the prince bowed and gave a salute, then quickly retreated.

After a while, Emperor Chongde, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, came in with his younger brother and courtiers.After the three paid their respects to the Queen Mother, the people in the palace greeted the Emperor under the leadership of the Queen. After a toss and turn, Fang sat down one by one on the chairs brought by the palace servants.

Emperor Chongde looked around the hall, paused for a moment on Miss Rucui, and said with a smile, "Queen Mother, your place is really lively today."

The Empress Dowager's face was pale, and she glanced at him with a smirk, and said: "Isn't it, even the emperor, who is so busy with his daily affairs, can take the time to come here today, which really touches Aijia."

Emperor Chongde didn't take the empress dowager's sarcasm to heart, turned to the little bun who was leaning next to the empress dowager, and said gently: "Long time no see, Yun'er, come to Uncle Huang."

The little bun looked at him, then turned to look at her parents, and solemnly stretched out a finger and said, "Uncle Huang, I met you yesterday!"

"..."

Seeing that the emperor was choking on the little girl's words, the queen mother felt much better.

Although he was choked by the little bun, Emperor Chongde still held the little girl in his arms and weighed it, and said happily: "Our Yun'er has grown up a bit, let's grow up quickly, Uncle Huang will Prepare a lot of dowry for Yun'er, and Yun'er will definitely marry him! Whoever dares not want Yun'er, let's smash him to death with the dowry!"

The little bun didn't understand the meaning of the adults, but the faces of the bystanders who understood were really weird. The eldest princess and the second prince lowered their heads, feeling the urge to cover their faces, and thought: Father, you are so dark in front of Uncle Su. Is it really bad to point out that the cousin is too serious and can't get married in the future?

Sure enough, at this time King Su said coldly and forcefully: "Thank you, Brother Huang! But Yun'er doesn't need it!"

A cold current passed by, and everyone in the hall experienced the baptism of ice water in winter.

So, even if you think in your heart that the little princess of King Su's mansion will have to spend a lot of dowry in order to get married, don't say it in front of King Su!

At this time, the queen came out to take the lead: "...cough, your majesty, why are you here?"

Seeing that the queen changed the subject, everyone gave the queen a look of admiration, as expected of the mistress of the Six Palaces, she is caring.

Hearing this, Emperor Chongde also suppressed his smile, and said in a low voice: "I heard that the queen mother called Mrs. Wen into the palace, and she did not accept Wen Aiqing's request for an audience. After getting the phoenix body, I came over to have a look. The queen mother is safe and sound, and I am very relieved!"

The Empress Dowager's complexion became even worse. She didn't expect that she was just a woman who was born as a maidservant, and even the emperor moved out. Could it be that these people thought she was helpless?And no matter what, the eldest princess and the second prince were indeed injured. Who can say that she is a sinful woman who was punished by her grandmother and caused her grandchildren to be injured?
"Wen Zixiu is really saving face. I invite the emperor right away. Is he afraid that the Ai family will bully your daughter-in-law?" The queen mother was the first to point at Wen Liang angrily, and said sadly: "The concubine Wen and the Ai family are sisters, and the Ai family has always been a sister." Treating you well, is it true that in Zixiu's eyes, the Ai family is a person who doesn't know right from wrong?"

Wen Liang got up quickly, bowed respectfully, and said sincerely: "The empress dowager forgives the sin, but I don't mean that. And I think the empress dowager misunderstood the meaning of the minister. I am just worried that the empress dowager is not feeling well. The daughter-in-law's blunt and inappropriate speech made the empress dowager angry. And... I also went through all kinds of hard work to marry her, and in my heart I also wanted her to be kind and even to please the empress dowager, but she is just like that , as long as I like it in my heart, I can't help it. I know that the queen mother is angry at what happened last night, but at that time, the minister's daughter-in-law was also a victim. She had no intention of hurting the eldest princess and the second prince. To investigate, people should investigate this matter strictly and find out the villain who frightened them, instead of pushing all the crimes on the minister's daughter-in-law."

The Queen Mother's expression is still not good, "You mean that Aijia insists on going his own way? Blame your daughter-in-law? But the injuries of the Eldest Princess and the Second Prince were indeed caused by her."

Wen Liang smiled helplessly, and said: "Your Majesty, I know, but last night the eldest princess and the second prince have promised me that they will not pursue the fault of my daughter-in-law. Moreover, this is a man-made conspiracy, and I don't know if it is It's not about the Eldest Princess and the Second Prince, I'm also worried."

"Conspiracy?!" The Empress Dowager bit these two words heavily, and stared at Wen Liang with some unkind eyes.

Wen Liang lifted up the hem of his clothes and knelt on the ground on one knee, and said: "Well, please thoroughly investigate what happened last night, the empress dowager and the emperor, and return my minister's wife's innocence." There was no trace of fear on his jade-like and flawless face, sincere and firm.

"Wen Zixiu!" The queen mother slapped the table heavily, staring at him as if she wanted to eat him.

Seeing that the Empress Dowager was about to get angry, Emperor Chongde said at the right time: "Queen Mother, stop your anger! Wen Zixiu didn't mean to make Empress Mother angry, and I'm also curious about how the incident yesterday happened so coincidentally. Originally, I thought that the two empresses My son is naughty and playful, now that my mother is so cautious, I also feel that I must thoroughly investigate."

Hearing this, the Eldest Princess and the Second Prince turned pale, and their figures were a little shaky.

The Empress Dowager looked at Emperor Chongde with an ugly expression, her complexion fluctuating.
