Chapter 264: One Mountain Is Higher Than One Mountain
On the six-foot-wide agarwood bed, there was a delicate sound that made people's ears red and heartbeat. The hanging crocodile twirled tent embroidered with peonies sprinkled with beads and silver thread is also shaking gently.
After a while, a figure rolled down from the bed, knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "The queen mother spares my life, the queen mother spares my life..." The voice was so sharp that people couldn't help but want to cover their ears.
"Get out..." As soon as the words fell, the person who rolled off the bed picked up the clothes on the floor, put them on as quickly as possible, and then walked out of the bedroom.
Lifting the tent, the Empress Dowager Song got out of bed wearing a cherry-colored bellyband and white obscene trousers. The fair skin, the high breasts, did not tell a woman who was over forty at all. Empress Dowager Song looked at Nanny Ying who walked in, and said coldly: "What kind of goods are you looking for? It's useless at all."
Nanny Ying knelt on the ground and said: "Master, please forgive me." Nanny Ying was crying bitterly in her heart. I don't know what's wrong, but recently the Queen Mother has started to miss men. Just thinking about it is all right, but she still wants a man. Real men will definitely not be found in the harem. The Queen Mother really couldn't bear it, so she had no choice but to find eunuchs to make up for it. These days have been good, but now it is obvious that the Queen Mother is not satisfied with these fake men.
The desire/fire in her heart has not dissipated, and the Empress Dowager Song's temper is not very good, she said with a livid face: "Hurry up and think of a way for me."
Mother Ying couldn't find a better way, she said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, now the empress is in charge of the six officials, and the empress will know if there is any change." The empress has to know this man before he enters the Compassion Palace. The queen knows, and the emperor knows too. The Queen Mother will probably be fine by then, and they will definitely be torn to pieces by the emperor.
Empress Dowager Song also knew that Nanny Ying's words were true, so she fell into deep thought.
The next morning, Yu Xiyu came to pay her respects to Empress Dowager Song.
The Empress Dowager Song told Yu Xiyu that she had a dream about the late emperor last night: "I am going to go to the Huangqi Temple in two days to give the late emperor a meal and recite the Buddha's vows." The Empress Dowager Song did not say when she would come back.
Yu Xiyu didn't agree, and said: "Mother, it's already deep winter now, and it's freezing on the mountain. My daughter-in-law is worried that you won't be able to bear it after going to the mountain. Mother, if you really don't worry, your daughter-in-law will burn incense on your mother's behalf to fulfill your wish." Bar!"
The Empress Dowager Song said: "I have made up my mind, you don't need to persuade me anymore. I will go to Huangqi Temple to offer incense in the next day." She was informing Yu Xiyu, not asking for his opinion.
Yu Xiyu didn't say anything anymore.
Back in the bedroom, Yu Xiyu asked Nanny Jin, and said, "She can't help it?" The rose scented bath that Empress Dowager Song took every day had hidden secrets. If this prescription is soaked once in a while, nothing will happen, but if it is soaked every day, there will be troubles if it accumulates over time. The aftermath is that it has the effect of aphrodisiac, and since the Queen Mother got this prescription, it has become a hot topic, so it is conceivable how strong the desire is now. It's normal to be unable to bear the desire to find a man. She just wanted to go to Huangqi Temple to find a man, but she was lucky enough to figure it out.
Jin Nanny said: "Mother, it is not appropriate to let the Queen Mother go to Huangqi Temple? It is our sin to defile the pure place with the Bodhisattva." Jin Momo was still in awe of the Bodhisattva.
Yu Xiyu said with a smile: "Flies don't bite seamless eggs. If the abbot of Huangqi Temple is really a highly respected eminent monk, he won't let that poisonous woman do whatever she wants in Huangqi Temple." Will it be disturbing? The purity of the Bodhisattva does not lie in her, but in the abbot and monks of Huangqi Temple.
Grandma Jin didn't say anything more. She knew in her heart that the queen hated the queen mother to the core, and it was not easy to be able to endure until now.
Nanny Jin said: "Mother, this matter will come to light sooner or later, and the Tong family can't keep it." This prescription was obtained by Yu Xiyu using a concealed method to get the second wife of Song Dynasty, the Tong family. The Tong family has always been currying favor with the Queen Mother Song, and with such a good prescription, naturally they will not keep it private.
The Empress Dowager Song really found a wild man. Sooner or later, the incident will happen. At that time, this will be a hidden danger. Take advantage of this time to get rid of this hidden danger.
Yu Xiyu nodded and said, "Ms. Tong is half dead now, so she won't be suspicious if she does some tricks." Speaking of which, I have to thank Princess Jing. If Tong Shi was intact, it would take a lot of effort to kill her without leaving any traces.
That night, Yuchen got the news that Mrs. Tong passed away. Yuchen was playing the piano at the time, and when he heard the news, he exerted too much force on his hands and broke a string.
Yuchen asked: "Didn't the imperial physician say yesterday that Mrs. Tong can live for three to five years? Why is it gone today?" I feel that this is a bit strange.
Nanny Gui said: "Mr. Tong has offended many people by relying on the Song family these years. It's not surprising that someone would do it secretly." Mrs. Tong's death must not have been normal, and Nanny Gui is very sure of this.
Yuchen stood up and said, "It's cheaper for her." He wanted to make her suffer a little more, but now he is relieved.
After finishing speaking, looking at the broken strings of the Guqin, he asked the servant girl to move it down. I am going to find a master violin maker to help reinstall a string.
In the evening, King Jing came back and told Yuchen about the Empress Dowager Song going to the Huangqi Temple to offer incense. Yuchen felt it was very sudden, and asked a little strangely: "It's so cold, and the queen mother is going to live in the mountains. What if she gets sick?" Superficial effort.
King Jing shook his head and said: "My brother and I have persuaded, but the queen mother insists on going, so I can only follow her. I think the queen mother must feel lonely. You have time to spend more time with her and talk to her!" , King Jing is also a dutiful son.
Yuchen nodded and said, "Okay."
In the early morning of the second day, Yuchen dressed up and went to the palace. The Empress Dowager Song didn't like Yuchen, she said a few polite words, and she was about to send her away: "I'm fine here, you go back and take good care of Yan'er!" I don't know, I thought she was a caring grandmother !
They were all kicked out, and it was impossible for Yuchen to stay cheeky. He went to Kunning Palace to meet the queen again, and talked with the queen for a long time before leaving the palace.
Nanny Gui said: "I don't know why the Empress Dowager doesn't want to see you so much." The whole capital knew that the Empress Dowager Song didn't like her master anymore.
Yuchen touched his face, and said with a smile: "I didn't know before, but now I know. She just saw me and felt uncomfortable!"
Nanny Gui is also a human being, so how can she not know what Yuchen means when she looks at Yuchen's actions. This means that the Empress Dowager Song is jealous of her master's youth and beauty, so she is impatient to see her. Nanny Gui has a lot of experience, but she still has some hesitation about what Yuchen guessed: "Princess, you can't!" No matter how beautiful a face is, it will disappear one day. Moreover, because the queen mother is well maintained, she looks like she is in her early thirties, and she doesn't look old. Of course, it is incomparable to compare it with Yuchen who has a beautiful face in the past two decades.
Yuchen pressed his face lightly, and a light red mark appeared on that face that was as white as jade: "There is no other reason than this." It was also guessed the reason, so every time Yuchen came to Even the Kunning Palace had to dress up specially. Although it is of no practical use, it can also respond to the Empress Dowager Song.
Nanny Gui was a little speechless. The Empress Dowager Song is only in her forties now, so when she is seventy or eighty, won't she be able to see a tender and tender young girl.
Yuchen was not surprised, and said: "The world is so big, there are everyone." Just as he was speaking, suddenly the carriage came to a big brake. Unprepared, Yuchen fell to one side, hit his head on the carriage, and picked up his bag.
Nanny Gui took out the ointment and kneaded it for Yuchen. Shi Qin opened the curtain and went out to ask the driver what happened just now.
Yuchen asked, "What happened just now?" The driver was a top-notch driver and had never made any mistakes. This time, he braked suddenly on the main road, he must have encountered an accident.
Shi Qin said: "It was a messenger from the Northwest, who was not familiar with the road, and almost bumped into our carriage. But because he sent an important military report, the guard Zhao didn't pursue him and let him go . ” In this eight hundred li urgent battle report, not to mention Zhao Huwei, even Yuchen dare not stop people, if something happens, he can’t afford it.
Yuchen felt a little unlucky, and said: "Since it wasn't intentional, then forget it." If you want to investigate, you can still investigate after the person finishes delivering the letter. But with Yuchen, this matter is over.
Before dinner, Nanny Gui got news from the palace. After hearing the news, Nanny Gui's face turned blue. After returning to the main courtyard, Shi Qin immediately asked Shi Qin to bring the other maids down.
Yuchen asked: "What's wrong?"
Nanny Gui said: "Princess, I just got a message from the palace..." At this point, Nanny Gui whispered a few words next to Yuchen's ear.
Yuchen's pupils shrank, and he opened his eyes wide and asked, "Is it true?" Seeing Nanny Gui nodding, Yuchen's expression was very ugly.
After a while, Yuchen calmed down and asked, "What's going on?" The person Yuchen placed was not low in Kunning Palace. That person also felt that what the Empress Dowager Song had done would be exposed sooner or later, and that everyone in Kunning Palace would be doomed. She didn't want to die, so she would tell Yuchen the news, hoping that Yuchen could save her life.
Nanny Gui shook her head and said, "The Empress Dowager has been eating normally in all aspects recently, and there is nothing unusual about it."
Yuchen shook his head and said, "Impossible. There must be something wrong, otherwise the queen mother would not be able to..." Such dirty words like Sichun were beyond Yuchen's ability to utter.
Nanny Gui also knew that the Empress Dowager Song must have been plotted against. Otherwise, why did she suddenly want a man when she was fine before. Nanny Gui said: "Princess, even the queen mother dares to plot and succeed in plotting, and that is the only one." Except for the queen, she doesn't think about her.
No need for Nanny Gui to tell, Yuchen also knew that it was the Queen's handwriting. Yuchen frowned and said: "There are many ways to take revenge, and this method is too low-handed." She can understand that the queen wants to avenge the murder of her son, but she can't agree with this method.
Nanny Gui said matter-of-factly: "Unless the Empress Dowager makes an unforgivable mistake, no one can shake her position." The Empress really took great pains to come up with such a method.
Yuchen shook his head and said, "Once the news spreads, the entire imperial family will lose face." She can understand that the Queen hates the Queen Mother Song. But she didn't agree with this method.
Nanny Gui hurriedly said: "Princess, we should not intervene in this matter." Interfering is tantamount to going against the queen, and it is really not worthwhile to go against the queen for the sake of a Queen Mother of Song.
Yuchen smiled wryly, and said: "Let's pay her a favor!" The queen should not know what happened last time, and this time, she should not know either!
