Rebirth after waste

Chapter 12

She became more and more annoyed, but before she could get angry, he grabbed her arm and slammed into a warm chest.

He hugged her from behind, with a smile in his voice: "Tell me, how did the queen mother punish you?"

After waiting for a while, I heard her muffled voice: "The Empress Dowager didn't punish the concubine. She just didn't call the concubine to accompany her to have a meal. It was I who wanted to copy these Buddhist scriptures myself."

He understood: "Oh, she asked you to copy scriptures."

"No." She argued, "It's the concubine herself..."

"Okay, okay, I know you are filial, and the queen mother will let you do anything willingly." He said, "I see you are so sad, why don't I explain to the queen mother for you, so that she won't be angry with you ?”

"Really?" She turned around with a happy expression on her face.

"Really." He smiled, "However, I have helped you so much, how can you thank me?"

"Thank you?" Gu Yunxian turned his eyes away, "If it wasn't for His Majesty, the concubine wouldn't be in this predicament at all."

He bowed his head and smiled: "Then you are still blaming me?"

"Chen and concubine dare not."

"Then how do you thank me?"

Really persistent.

She looked at her clean nails, with a struggling look on her face, as if she had made up her mind for a long time, she said in a low voice: "Then how does His Majesty want my concubine to thank you?"

He had a panoramic view of the changes in her expression, and he didn't know what feeling he was feeling.There was a sound outside, and he knew he had to go.

"I see that your handwriting is getting better and better, so please write me a picture."

Gu Yunxian didn't know how the emperor explained it to the queen mother, but those were not the point at all.The queen mother was just pretending to be angry with herself, in order to let him explain for her, now that the goal is achieved, she will naturally express her forgiveness.

On the fifth day of the first lunar month, she moved from her original residence to Chang'an Hall, which is adjacent to Changxin Hall where the Empress Dowager lives, and is the second largest hall of Changle Palace.

In addition, the queen mother allocated two maids and four eunuchs to her. At the same time, the inner court also presented rouge and gouache, jewelry and a batch of newly made winter clothes.Gu Yunxian caressed all kinds of flowery brocade skirts, black thorny gold silk shoes, and snow-white fox fur cloak, feeling lucky that he finally had some decent outfits.

One of the two maids was named Caijia and the other Caizhi.Cai Jia is capable and smart, while Cai Zhi is careful and cautious. They used to work in Changxin Hall.When they gave Gu Yunxian a big gift, she helped them up personally, and said with a smile: "It's really aggrieved to let two female historians serve me, a person with an unpredictable future."

Cai Jia laughed and said, "Where is the lady talking? The Empress Dowager ordered the servants to serve the lady. That is the blessing of the servants. From now on, I will regard the lady as the master and have no two intentions." Caizhi also claimed in a low voice. yes.

The leader of the eunuchs was called Huang Zhong, and flatteringly said, "Young lady, don't say that your future is unpredictable. Now the empress dowager and Your Majesty are taking care of my lady. I think the day of my restoration is not far away."

She smiled slightly, and glanced at Huang Zhong lightly.Those gazes were gentle and not angry, but Huang Zhong felt a pressure coming towards him in a daze.

"The nobleman was sent by the Empress Dowager, and she must have trusted her. If you can't get used to my Chang'an Palace, you can go back. I think the Empress Dowager will still trust you as always." She said calmly.

Huang Zhong was so frightened that he immediately knelt down, and said repeatedly: "My lady, forgive me! I don't know what I did wrong, so I ask my lady to speak up!"

He said this very nervously.In fact, he was very reluctant to be sent to the Chang'an Palace. He suddenly changed from the person in front of the empress dowager to the person in front of the abolished empress. Anyone with a discerning eye would know the difference. How to be punished by the queen mother, maybe even Changle Palace can't stay anymore.

Seeing him kneeling, the other three hurriedly knelt down, Gu Yunxian didn't look at them, and said slowly: "You kneel on me now, don't you want to go back?"

Huang Zhong hesitated for a moment, and immediately said: "Naturally! The Queen Mother gave me to the lady, and I will be the lady's person from now on!"

This time, he spoke very earnestly.

"Do you think so too?" She looked at the other three and asked casually.

The three eunuchs looked at each other and kowtowed in agreement.

Gu Yunxian nodded: "Well, since you have said that, you have to keep your own words in mind. From now on, following me, a waste queen, you have to be 12 energized when you speak and do things. Like the crazy and presumptuous words just now, I will Don't want to hear it again."

She said the last sentence while looking at Huang Zhong.Seeing this, Huang Zhong immediately kowtowed: "I understand that from now on, I should be cautious in my words and deeds, and never bring trouble to my lady."

She said "hmm" and waved her hands to signal them to back off.Huang Zhong wiped the sweat off his forehead, and led the crowd down.

After everyone went out, Ah Ci served her tea and said: "My servant sees that Mr. Huang is quite restless. How could the empress dowager send such a person to serve her?"

"He is somewhat ambitious, but that's not a bad thing." Gu Yunxian took a sip of tea, "The queen mother sent him here because she thought I could calm him down. I think he's a little glib, but he's good. It is very clever, as long as it is used properly, it will definitely be a great help to me."

"My servant still thinks Mr. Zhang is better..." Ah Ci regretted it as soon as she finished speaking, secretly watching Gu Yunxian's expression, for fear that she would be sad.

The Master Zhang she was talking about was the original Da Changqiu Zhang Lu, who was loyal to Gu Yunxian. Unfortunately, on the day she was abolished, Zhang Lu was executed together with many palace officials of Changqiu Palace, and the bones were thrown into the mass grave. , with wild dogs and crows as companions.

Gu Yunxian paused for a moment, then returned to normal, but when he spoke again, his voice always seemed to be a bit sad: "Zhang Lu? Naturally, others can't compare with him."

Changle Palace was in a daze that night, and the concubines waited for a long time outside the Changxin Palace, but they did not wait for the news that the Queen Mother had summoned them. After taking the medicine, I have already rested now. Please go back, everyone."

Shen Shuyi looked her up and down, and laughed: "I haven't seen you for a few days, but Miss Gu is radiant and radiant. Thinking about how thin and pale you were a few days ago, you are a completely different person!"

Jiang Chongyi said coldly: "That's right, it's different when you have the grace. Look at the demeanor of the present, where he is still a waste queen, and he is already a serious master. I hate that I don't have a good way to take care of my wife." It's really admirable to be able to show off your skills in front of the queen mother on New Year's Eve." Glancing at Zhen Jieyu, "Sister Zhen, you have an opponent now. Be careful."

Zhen Jieyu smiled and said: "Whatever Sister Jiang said, we are all His Majesty's concubines, and whoever can serve His Majesty to make His Majesty happy is the same."

"Same?" Jiang Chongyi raised her eyebrows, "If it's true, how could Mrs. Bo suddenly drop from a beauty of the fourth rank to a daughter-in-law of the eighth rank, and still can't leave the bedroom half a step? Isn't she your good sister? My sister doesn't even plead for her?"

"Your Majesty's decision is not something we can comment on," Zhen Jieyu said, "My concubine will not do such a presumptuous thing."

"Arrogance? Since you talked about arrogance, I feel that the phrase 'concubine' you just said is a bit inappropriate. You and I are indeed His Majesty's concubines, but Miss Gu is not necessarily." She smiled coldly, " No wife, no concubine, I don't know how to face Gu Niangzi now."

One sentence stabbed both Zhen Jieyu and Gu Yunxian at the same time, and the attack surface was very wide.

Ye Cairen glanced at Zhen Jieyu, and said with a smile: "The concubine heard that the Queen Mother gave Gu Niang two maids and four eunuchs, and moved her to live in Chang'an Palace. If you think about it, it’s almost enough for Empress Chongyi to regard Lady Gu as Qiongzhang.”

"Qiongzhang?" Jiang Chongyi raised her eyebrows, "Not long ago, she was still Cainu, and then she became Baolin, and now she is Qiongzhang again. No one can match the speed of Gu Niangzi's promotion. It won't be long before she will sit down Have you returned to your original position?"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was stunned.What Jiang Chongyi ruthlessly challenged at this moment was the speculation in everyone's heart.The gazes shot at Gu Yunxian all of a sudden had different emotions, but they were all piercing like the tip of a needle.

Gu Yunxian had been allowing everyone to discuss until now, and now he finally said with a smile on his face, unhurriedly: "Jiang Chongyi said 'overstepping' just now, I thought you knew the rules. But now these words make you I was surprised, you can talk about such things as the ownership of the posthumous position? Presumptuously guessing Shangyi is even more presumptuous than what Zhen Jieyu said just now."

"You!" Jiang Chongyi was sullen, "When did I discuss the ownership of the descendant, you don't want to spit blood!"

"'Blood spray?' With so many people here listening, can I still make up a lie to deceive His Majesty and the Queen Mother?" Gu Yunxian was surprised, "But please rest assured, I will not do anything. Talk more. Your Majesty is already worried enough about the affairs of the previous court, why bother to use these things to add to his troubles?"

Jiang Chongyi looked at her bitterly for a long time, and gritted her teeth without saying a word.

Seeing this, Shen Shuyi said with a smile: "A while ago, I was used to Miss Gu's gentleness and honesty. Today I saw her majesty again, which made me a little dazed. It felt like going back to half a year ago. The majesty and decency of your body!" Looking at Jiang Chongyi, she sighed, "Yue Niang, you really are, it's not that you haven't learned a lesson from Gu Niangzi, why are you still so ignorant?"

She spoke nicely, but everyone understood what she meant.Everyone still remembers how arrogant and jealous Gu Yunxian was half a year ago, and Jiang Chongyi was killed by her even more so that she lost her child.At this moment, she is so honest with Jiang Chongyi, is she not even half guilty?

Gu Yunxian didn't change her face when she heard the words, as if she didn't understand Shen Shuyi's words, she nodded and agreed: "Yueniang has been ignorant since the day she entered the East Palace, and I'm used to it."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.This tone is exactly like the tone of the mistress!She also mentioned Donggong, as if she was afraid that others would not remember who she used to be!
Jiang Chongyi's shoulder moved, and she was about to raise her hand, but was grabbed by Yixiang, the personal maid.She stared over, but saw that Yixiang's eyes were full of warning, and his tone was soft: "Mother, this is Changle Palace anyway, it will be bad if you accidentally startle the Queen Mother."

"Yixiang is right." Gu Yunxian said with a smile, "Some things can be done the first time, but not the second time. Bo's is an example. Chong Yi should think twice."
