Madam Hou

Chapter 59

Back in Yongninghou's Mansion, Yinniang was stopped by Linglong who was waiting in front of the Hou's Mansion just as she got off the carriage.Linglong said anxiously to Yinniang: "Miss Yin, you are back, hurry up and follow me to Tangrong Courtyard, Madam is waiting for you." After speaking, she dragged Yinniang into the door quickly.

Yin Niang asked, "What is Madam looking for from me?"

Linglong walked and replied: "Someone came from the palace. The Empress has sent Madam to enter the palace. Madam asked you to go with her."

Yin Niang asked strangely: "It's almost dark today, why did someone go to the palace at this time?"

"This servant doesn't know."

Although Linglong is Madam Linhou's big servant girl, Madam Linhou may not tell her everything, it's normal for her not to know, Yinniang didn't make things difficult for her, so she won't ask anymore.

When she arrived at Tangrong Courtyard, Mrs. Lin Hou had already dressed up in the heavy makeup and sat on the square chair beside the table, waiting anxiously.Seeing Yinniang coming in, she quickly stood up to greet her, and said anxiously: "It's good to be back, quickly change your clothes and follow me into the palace, I've already had someone bring your clothes from the Jingxiangyuan." After that, he directed the girls next to him to take Yinniang in to change clothes.

After changing clothes, Mrs. Lin Hou hurriedly led Yin Niang out of the courtyard.It wasn't until getting into the carriage that Yinniang had the opportunity to ask Mrs. Linhou: "Madam, what's the matter with you being sent to the palace by the Empress?" More importantly, why did you bring me with you.

Mrs. Lin Hou frowned, her expression was a little anxious, and she replied worriedly: "It is said that Concubine Chen's concubine has moved her fetus, let us go into the palace to see the empress."

Yinniang's heart skipped a beat, and she asked eagerly, "Why did this happen, but what happened?" She knew that Yanniang's body, although it looked like a weak willow, had liked to climb to the mountain without telling Mrs. Chen since she was a child. The ones who go up to identify herbs and collect herbs are in much better health than ordinary boudoir ladies. If something hadn't happened, they wouldn't be easily aroused.

Mrs. Lin Hou's eyes flickered a few times, and she said uncomfortably: "No, it's nothing serious, it's just that the servant girl did something to annoy the empress."

A little court lady, if she does something that can make the master and empress who is pregnant with dragon descendants angry, I'm afraid that what she does is not a trivial matter.But looking at Mrs. Lin Hou's expression, she thought she didn't want to talk to her more. Yin Niang thought that she would soon arrive at the palace, and she would soon understand what happened, so she suppressed her worries and stopped asking Lin Hou lady.

After entering the imperial palace, entering Lanhe Palace, and seeing the battle in Lanhe Palace, Yinniang was even more sure that something must have happened.

In the Lanhe Palace, the emperor and the empress sat at the top of the hall, and on both sides of their heads stood a group of maids and servants. In the center, there was a woman kneeling. The woman was wearing a purple palace dress and knelt on the ground. trembling trembling.Yinniang remembers that it seems to be Yanniang's clothes, Yanniang looks very charming, and purple is the best match.When Yinniang got closer, she realized that the woman kneeling on the ground was Caici, Yanniang's personal maid.

The little palace maid wearing the master's clothes, the master's anger moved her fetus, what is the connection between this, Yin Niang can know without thinking.

When Mrs. Lin Hou came in, she took a hard look at the colored porcelain on the ground, but after all, she was still concerned about the emperor and queen sitting on it, and she didn't dare to be too presumptuous, so she quickly retracted her eyes, walked to the front, and joined Yin Niang Kneeling down on the ground, bowing down, shouting, "Long live the emperor, and a thousand years for the empress."

The emperor was here, and the empress couldn't speak first, so she turned her head to look at the emperor, only to find that the emperor turned away with a snort and didn't cry out.Only then did the queen turn her head around, ask Mrs. Lin Hou and Yin Niang to invite them up, and then winked at the maids beside her, asking them to help them up.

The queen looked at Mrs. Lin Hou and Yin Niang standing next to her, and felt that Mrs. Lin Hou's little wishful thinking was very good. She knew that she would not be able to eat when she came to the palace today, but she could think of bringing Yin Niang with her. Mom, this life-saving talisman is here.Today's victim is Chen Concubine, and the emperor dotes on her again. One sentence of Chen Concubine's love is more effective than her own begging for a hundred sentences.Yinniang is her prospective daughter-in-law, whether it is to please her unmarried husband-in-law or for the reputation of filial piety, Yinniang will intercede for her. point.

The queen glanced at Mrs. Lin Hou with a smile, and asked her: "Mrs. Yongning Hou, have everyone who went out of the palace explained to you what happened today?"

Mrs. Linhou replied tremblingly, "Yes."

The queen reprimanded slightly: "Mrs. Yongning Hou, it's not that the palace is talking about you. Concubine Chen is your adoptive daughter and the sister of your prospective daughter-in-law. Would she not be willing to go after you when she enters the palace? A girl with a bigger heart than the sky came in."

Mrs. Lin Hou's scalp was numb with fright, and she hated Caici so much that she hated it to death. She said in her mouth, "My wife is wronged. How did my wife ever think of committing such crimes?" Well, if she is really convicted of this crime, she will not have enough heads to chop off.Mrs. Lin Hou wanted to continue explaining, but at this moment, the two imperial physicians who were treating Yan Niang came out from the inner room, and the queen waved to Mrs. Lin Hou to signal her to stop speaking.The two imperial physicians walked to the center of the hall and saluted the emperor and empress.

The emperor hurriedly asked, "How is Concubine Chen's pregnancy?"

One of the imperial physicians was the newly-promoted court chief after the death of Li Yuanzheng, surnamed Bian.Bian Yuanzheng went out and clapped his hands and replied: "Returning to the emperor, Madam Chen's fetal heart rate fluctuated because of her sudden anger, which damaged her fetal gas. Fortunately, Madam's health is good, as long as she relaxes her mind, she will take care of her for a few days. It's all right."

After the queen heard this, she couldn't help but said to the emperor: "Your majesty, it's not that the concubines are talking about you, and it's not that there are no other concubines in the palace, even there are several new ones who have not been lucky enough to enter the palace. Why do you have to go to Lanhe?" Gong Lai recruited Concubine Chen's personal maid. Concubine Chen has always valued you, let her watch you accept her maid of honor, didn't you just put a knife in her heart, she is pregnant again, how can she bear it. "

The emperor rubbed his nose resentfully, and said: "Isn't this lowly servant girl coming in wearing Yanniang's clothes, I was so sleepy, I thought it was Yanniang, that's why I lost my composure."

Just as he was talking, Painted Tao came out from inside, saluted the emperor and queen, and then said to the emperor and queen: "Your Majesty, empress, empress Chen is awake."

The emperor stood up and said, "Then I will go in and have a look at Yan Niang." Then he raised his foot and was about to enter the inner room.

Caitao continued: "Ms. Chen Pin knew that Mrs. Yongning Hou and Miss Chen Er had come to the palace, and said she wanted to see them."

The emperor bowed his head and thought for a while, then turned around and said, "Then let them come in together."

A group of people rushed into the inner room, Yanniang was half lying on the bed, her face was pale.Seeing the person coming, a tear suddenly fell on his face.A beauty weeps, even if it is a pale beauty, it is pitiful and pitiful. When the emperor saw it, his heart softened three times. He walked over and sat by the bed, holding Yinniang's hand. hand, and said with pity: "Yan Niang, what do you think, is there any discomfort?"

When Yanniang heard this, the tears fell even more fiercely.Looking at the emperor full of grievances, he said: "The emperor doesn't need to take care of me, he canonized Caici directly, and left with her, the concubine will not hinder the emperor's eyes, from now on, I will hide here in Lanhe In the palace, don't bother the emperor anymore!"

"What are you talking about?" The emperor was also a little annoyed. In the harem, everyone always obeyed him, and that concubine would contradict her like this.Besides, he is the Son of Heaven, so what's wrong with the palace maid? In the harem, that woman doesn't belong to her, and she even competed with him.But when he turned his head and looked at Yanniang's pear blossoms with rain, the emperor couldn't help but softened his heart three more times, and said in a soft voice: "You saw it too, it was the maid who wore your clothes to seduce me, didn't I also What happened to her?"

As soon as she descended the donkey, Yan Niang knew that she should hold onto the ladder to get down, otherwise, if she really annoyed the emperor and couldn't get down, then the loss outweighed the gain.Thinking of this, Yanniang gradually stopped crying, looked at the emperor expectantly, and asked, "Really?"

"It's true."

Yanniang leaned towards the emperor, and said in a tone of mental calculation and helplessness: "Your majesty, I know that you will not be alone, so when the emperor goes to other sisters on weekdays, why did I ever say anything? It's just Caici came in with the concubines when they entered the palace, and they valued it a lot on weekdays. As a result, when the concubines were pregnant, the emperor and the concubines did such things in the palace of the concubines. Always uncomfortable."

The emperor patted Yanniang on the back and said, "Don't worry, I personally executed that maid who betrayed the lord." As he spoke, he felt that the Yongning Hou Mansion, which raised maids of this quality, seemed to have malicious intentions. So he glanced at Mrs. Linhou, and said unexpectedly: "Mrs. Yongninghou, the maids in your house should teach them well."

Mrs. Lin Hou felt that she was really wronged. There were not many girls who wanted to climb into the bed in the backyard of any mansion. She sent Yanniang into the palace that day because she hoped that Yanniang would be favored and able to look after Gu Yongninghou's mansion. She would not demolish her platform, so The girl who chose to accompany her into the palace also left behind the most beautiful colored vermilion, so that the painted pottery and colored porcelain, which can only be regarded as beautiful, entered the palace.As a result, the girl was stupid, and she had thoughts that shouldn't have arisen, can she be blamed for this?

Although Mrs. Lin Hou thought so in her heart, she didn't dare to complain to the emperor.Kneel down again, and directly ask for punishment.

The prospective mother-in-law pleaded guilty, and Yinniang, the prospective daughter-in-law, naturally wanted to intercede for her. Regardless of whether it worked or not, she still had to act. unfilial reputation.

After Yinniang knelt down and begged for mercy, Yanniang took the emperor's hand and said coquettishly: "Your Majesty, how can you blame the mother-in-law for this? Although I brought the colored porcelain from Yongninghoufu, but this A dragon gave birth to nine sons, and the sons are different, not to mention maids. No matter how powerful the foster mother is, there is no guarantee that all the maids under her will be good. Look at the painted pottery, which also came from the Yongning Hou Mansion, but she But it's a good one."

After Yanniang finished speaking, she secretly winked at Yinniang.Yinniang knew that it was Yanniang who deliberately gave her the opportunity to plead for Mrs. Linhou so that Mrs. Linhou would owe a favor, so she continued to plead with the emperor.

Yan Niang continued to say to the emperor: "After all, this colored porcelain was given to me by my step-mother. I can't dispose of her casually. Why don't I let my step-mother take it back to the Hou's mansion and let my step-mother handle it."
