Second-hand lady

Chapter 70

Hearing that there are people coming from the palace, Ru Cui will naturally go out to meet them in person, and when she gets there, she has a look, yo, she is still an acquaintance.

"It turned out to be Eunuch Wang, long time no see, Eunuch is in good health." Miss Rucui smiled like a flower, and very enthusiastically asked the servants to serve tea.

When he hears about tea and the like, the prince's head is big, and the eunuch can't hold back and talk about it, but Mrs. Wen doesn't know if she is really stupid or not, and every time they meet, he has to pour him a few pots The eunuch really can't hold back the tea.

"My lord, my father-in-law seems to be getting younger after a year. Is the queen mother okay? Come on, let's have a cup of tea first, let's talk slowly."

Seeing that she was about to pour him tea, the prince hurriedly said: "Mrs. Wen, long time no see. Our family came today to obey the Queen Mother's order. I heard that Mrs. Wen is back, and the Queen Mother will read to you very closely." , then announced you to enter the palace to accompany her old man. Hey, by the way, the empress dowager also heard that Lord Wen has adopted a son. Mrs. Fang Dewen values ​​it." The prince said with a smile on his face, with a little contempt in his eyes, even if a woman who can't give birth can sit firmly in the position of Mrs. Grand Master now, her future situation may be uncertain. A man who doesn't value his offspring can't make up for that shortcoming by accepting a foster son.

Rucui also smiled brightly, and said: "Look at what my father-in-law said, I also miss the empress dowager very much. I heard that the empress dowager spent the Chinese New Year in the White Horse Temple this year. The empress dowager has worked so hard for the sake of the world. I pray in the temple, and I don’t even go back to the palace during Chinese New Year. Tsing Yi, go and bring the young master here to show the prince, the prince is a big celebrity beside the queen mother.”

Tsing Yi took the order to leave, but Wang Gonggong's face was a bit uneasy, why didn't he hear her sarcasm, and he was holding his breath for some reason.Although he has no evidence, he also heard people say that the Queen Mother will celebrate the New Year in the temple this year. Maybe she was frightened there by people. The master didn't say anything and didn't dare to ask openly, so as not to offend the empress dowager.

Soon, Tsing Yi brought Wen Yanping over.

Wen Yanping greeted Ru Cui first, and Fang asked with a smile: "Mother, did you call me?"

Ru Cui called her over, first adjusted the sweat scarf on her head, and then said: "Yan Ping, this is the prince in the queen mother's palace. Wang Gong, this is the adopted son recognized by my family. It's called Yanping."

"Young Master Wen is polite." The prince said indifferently.Seeing such a thin, sallow, ordinary-looking boy suddenly, I didn't believe it at first, until the boy called "Mother" to Mrs. Wen, and realized that this unattractive little boy turned out to be Wen Liang's adopted son. This is really... …

At this time, the feeling in Wang Gonggong's heart is very subtle, which can be summed up in four words: this is unscientific!

However, Wang Gonggong is also a fine person, no matter what he thinks in his heart, his face is very calm, and he said: "Since the young master is here, I should hurry up and get ready, let's go to the palace with our family to meet the empress dowager."

"It's natural, please wait a moment, father-in-law, we will come after changing clothes."

Rucui took Wen Yanping back and changed into formal clothes, Wen Yanping took Rucui's hand, looked up at her, and asked, "Mother, do we really want to go into the palace to meet the Empress Dowager?"

"Well, what's the matter?" Ru Cui looked down at her.

The child asked with some embarrassment: "Is the empress dowager as strict and majestic as the storyteller said, punishing people to kneel casually?"

Ru Cui recalled how the queen mother was so angry at Su Wang that she wanted to vomit blood several times since King Su got married. In the end, even the emperor became impatient sometimes, and even asked the concubines in the harem to make trouble for the queen mother so that he had no leisure to take care of his son's harem.

"It's okay, the empress dowager is the most kind, and she likes honest children the most." Miss Rucui said with a smile.

Looking at the sky in blue and blue clothes, Wen Yanping looked suspicious, and then lowered his head again when he met someone's smiling face.

After getting ready, the two of them entered the palace with the prince in Wen's carriage.With the Empress Dowager's grace, Rucui could enter the palace to accompany her at any time, and she didn't need to hand over any sign. In addition, she was led by the prince, and she quickly entered through the Nangong gate.

Wen Yanping tightly grasped Rucui's hand, and carefully observed the surrounding environment. His little heart was shocked by this luxurious and solemn imperial city. Even if he matured a bit earlier, he was only an eight-year-old child, and he felt a little nervous for a while. Can't control myself.

In the Chonghua Palace, the graceful and luxurious Empress Dowager was sitting at the head, next to the Empress and Princess Su, and two little buns, one was a fat bun who could just walk, running around the hall like a duckling He ran away, lively and noisy, and let a few court ladies follow behind to take care of him tremblingly.One was a girl about four years old, sitting upright, the serious expression on that cute little face made people howl.

Wen Yanping couldn't help but look twice more for a while, and this action fell into the eyes of the queen mother, and he was very dissatisfied again. How could their royal princess be a brat who just looked at it casually?
"My wife greets the empress dowager, who is a thousand years old." Rucui went up to greet her with a smile, and then greeted the empress, concubine Su and others.

The Empress Dowager's face was pale, and she glanced at the child who was kneeling on the ground with Ru Cui, "Get up."

Ru Cui raised her head to look at the Empress Dowager, she didn't know if it was her own delusion, why did she feel that the Empress Dowager has become much thinner after a year, it seems that the vegetarian dishes in the temple are really not to the old man's liking.

"This is Wen Zixiu's adoptive son? Come and show the Ai family." The queen mother said lazily.

Wen Yanping looked at Rucui, waited for her to nod with a smile, then went forward, standing in front of the old man a little awkwardly to look at her.And Rucui smiled at Su Wangfei who was beside her, expressing that she was fine.

"Looks like he's smart. From now on, he will study hard with your father, and when he grows up, he will work hard for the emperor."

Following the words of the queen mother, the nanny brought the meeting gift from the queen mother to Yizi Wen Liang. After the child accepted it, he kowtowed to thank him politely. Because it was a temporary etiquette, his movements were a bit clumsy, but the queen mother endured it.

After sitting down, the Empress Dowager and Rucui casually chatted about the scenery of Pingjin City, and the Empress and Concubine Su chatted aside, the atmosphere was pretty decent, except that the Empress Dowager was usually suffocated on the way, and it was hard to hold back the breath , secretly clutching her chest, for the sake of the princess's future, she held back her anger, and when Wen Liang gave her up, she would not believe that there was still someone protecting her like that.

"Mrs. Wen, although the adopted son is considered a son, he is not comparable to his own blood inheritance. Wen Zixiu should have a child with the blood of the Wen family." The queen mother said lightly.

The atmosphere that was originally quite suitable seemed a little stiff because of the Queen Mother's words. The Queen and Concubine Su glanced at each other. Let my wife not worry. Besides, my lord has said that this is a matter of our family, how can outsiders control it so leniently, so don't mind. Empress Dowager, my wife is not talking about you, you are also the elder of Mr. Wen, and Mr. Wen respects you of."

The queen mother said angrily: "I'm afraid this is not Wen Zixiu's intention, but your own nonsense?" Is this girl trying to fool her?Don't look at what kind of virtue I have now, how dare I think she is too lenient?Not ordering Wen Liang to divorce his wife right away is still a face for the Duke of Zhen.

"How can it be? My love for the empress dowager can be learned from all over the world! Empress dowager, you really misunderstood me..."

Then there was a series of confessions. Someone spoke quickly and urgently. The queen mother was choked by her so much that her brain hurt a little. When the mother at the side was about to stand up and stop drinking, she saw the queen and Princess Su looking at her at the same time. Just keep your mouth shut for a while.

"Okay, okay, Aijia just said a word, but you said a hundred words, so why so many words." The queen mother waved her hand to stop her, calling her into the palace was originally intended to torment her, but now it seems , I don’t know who is tossing who, especially when there is a very worrying daughter-in-law, Princess Su, the queen mother is even more at a disadvantage, and she can’t get angry if she wants to. If I knew it, I wouldn’t call them into the palace today .

The queen mother thought, squinting at the short boy, but she was a little displeased when she saw the fire-breathing bright eyes.

Sure enough, what kind of person raises what kind of child, this kind of rude and unruly child must have been persuaded by this woman to recognize Wen Zixiu, otherwise, with Wen Zixiu's demeanor, why would he recognize an ordinary boy as his own? Yoshiko, it's a loss of his reputation.

Today, after being choked by two bastards in a row, the queen mother quickly expressed her tiredness and asked them to kneel down and leave.Chu Chu, the little princess of King Su's Mansion, asked about the queen mother's health very filially. The queen mother was in a better mood, and after talking with Xiao Baozi for a while, she let them leave.

After leaving the Chonghua Palace, Concubine Su and Rucui bid farewell to the Queen, and then walked out of the palace slowly.

"This is your adopted son?" Concubine Su held her fat son in her arms, looked at the boy holding Ru Cui's hand, and said in surprise, "Didn't the letter say it was a girl?"

"It's a girl!" Ru Cui affirmed.

Concubine Su was speechless for a moment, looked at the child again, and felt her eyes raised up and smiled brightly at her, that ordinary face unexpectedly made people feel comfortable and in tune.I can't complain that I have to dress up as a boy. If no one tells me, who would know that she will be a girl?
"Mother, let's go~" Grandma Nuo Nuo's voice suddenly called, and she saw the little fat man in Princess Su's arms clapping her mother's hand, insisting on landing on her own.

"Mother, my brother is getting older, let him go on his own." Chu Chu said with a serious face, "Father said, my brother is a boy, so don't spoil him!"

Princess Su twitched her lips, "...but I want to spoil you." Seeing her daughter's serious face, Princess Su rolled her eyes, put her youngest son on the ground, and said to her four-year-old daughter, "Don't listen to you!" Dad said nonsense, my younger brother is only one year old and has just learned how to walk, and if he walks too much, he will get tired and fall down."

After hearing this, Xiao Chuchu frowned, then refused the maid behind her to help her younger brother, went over to hold his younger brother's hand, and said earnestly: "Chuchu will lead my younger brother to walk, so as not to let him fall down. "

At this moment, Wen Yanping, who had been watching for a while, also tugged on Ru Cui's clothes, and said in a low voice, "Can Yanping hold the young prince?"

Rucui glanced at Su Wangfei, Su Wangfei smiled, and said gently: "Of course, he is younger than you, you can call him Baibai."

With Concubine Su's consent, Wen Yanping went around immediately, and together with Xiao Chuchu led the chubby boy in the middle, with a happy smile on his face, which made Rucui wonder if the child was a younger brother. My younger brother likes to play with him.

Concubine Su watched for a while, and said to the smiling Rucui: "Although the rumors in Beijing are not as strong as before, everyone has a solid foundation in their hearts, and now you have another nominal righteousness." Son, I don’t know what they think of you.”

Ru Cui said nonchalantly: "I don't care what people think, and adopting Yan Ping is also Master Wen's idea." But she just agreed along with her.

"Others can't control it, but the government of Zhen Guo can." Su Wangfei said with some hatred for iron and steel: "Don't always think things are so simple, just a word of filial piety can crush you to death, you Now that I'm back, the Duke of Zhen's Mansion is planning to send some women to Wen Liang to give birth to children in your mansion in a few days."

Miss Rucui finally got a little self-conscious, dissatisfied: "Master Wen is not a pig, what kind of children are you?" Then she shrugged and said: "It's okay, there is Mrs. Wen."

Concubine Su suddenly felt that this girl had a dark belly, and when she knew something was wrong, she pushed the man over as an excuse.
