The Beloved Imperial Consort - Chapter 380
[380. Chapter 380 Showing Your Face]
In Feng’an Palace, Empress Dowager Jin deliberately gave Su Shi’s eyes more, and waited to have a word with those few important people, and then called Su Linrou to come forward.
“I happened to meet you yesterday afternoon, and then I saw the bonsai in the back garden. I heard from the eunuch who took care of the garden that you also love figs. You have been raising them for several years when you were in the boudoir. And deliberately moved it out of the East Palace?” The Empress Dowager’s face was kind, and her questions were slow and slow.
Su Linrou was overjoyed and rushed to show off in front of her ancestors. “The concubine also thought that the tree had a good meaning, so she asked someone to ask for it. Later, I heard that the old ancestor had a bonsai in the backyard that he took care of himself, and it happened to be the same plant as the concubine. So I was bold, thinking about getting your blessing, Put it closer to your pot.”
Given the opportunity, it is natural to be as close as possible.
“Do you go to see it every day?”
Su Linrou shook her head after a little embarrassment. She is helpless and can’t afford to be too early. She counts the days and walks around to see if she can meet someone. “It’s not that the sun never sets. It’s only once every three or two days.” He couldn’t hide this matter, so he had to answer honestly.
“When the concubine passed by, she also took Baolin in the palace and two concubines for a walk. Seeing that the sun was getting better, she moved the bonsai to dry under the sun.” In this way, she showed her virtuousness. The people in the palace have never been strictly guarded, and they have tried their best to suppress them.
Sunshine when the sun is shining? There were a few people who knew flowers and plants sitting under them, looking stunned. The past few days have been extremely hot, and the sun is extremely vicious. Although banyan trees are rare and uncommon, they can grow flowers and serve grass in the end, and many things in common can be referred to. Is that tree exceptionally drought tolerant or what?
Mu Xiyao’s heart moved, and her eyes looked behind Wan Jingwen. The two concubines admired by the queen mother bowed their hands respectfully, with a hint of joy on their faces.
Yo, the most ignorant Su Shi actually used his brain. Unfortunately, bad luck, there are snakes and scorpions behind him.
Hearing her reply, the Buddha beads that the Queen Mother was fiddling with paused for a moment. Looking at her again, she is still kind-hearted. “Liangdi praised this tree for auspiciousness before, so she must know that the banyan tree has a lot of origins with Buddhism.”
“This is natural. It is said that the banyan tree is one of the ‘Three Flowers and Four Trees’ in Buddhism. It measures merit and protects children and grandchildren…” After a long list of words, it was said in a straightforward manner. The people below were so stunned that they could only listen.
This work is enough. Mu Xiyao was amused to see Su Linrou in high spirits, eating tea silently.
“Bao Lin is also with you in your palace, but who is it?” Seeing the empress dowager and nodding with a smile, Su Linrou was overjoyed, and generously pointed to Wan Jingwen, who was wearing a plain dress with only silk flowers in her hairpin.
“His Royal Highness Baolin has two, and the one in the concubine’s palace is the Wan family.” Yu Guang glanced at the slightly embarrassed Zhang family, and Su Linrou raised her brows. What about taking refuge with the Mu family, showing her face in front of the queen mother, but she was a member of her Yongan palace.
It’s really fun to be a villain. Mu Xiyao twisted a candied jujube into her mouth, taking Mrs Zhang’s discomfort into her eyes. After all, he is not a saint, after all, he is afraid of being taken out for comparison. Anyway, taking this opportunity to tell her to take a look, it is more appropriate to rely on her than that of the Su Clan. To buy people’s hearts, it is naturally the best to use both kindness and power.
“Wan’s family? The one who served the crown prince last year?”
The person who was so proud of himself just now, never imagined that Wan Jingwen would make a name for her ancestors. Remembering her like this, could it be that she also remembers herself… Su Linrou was suddenly shocked.
“Slave and maid, please pay my respects to the ancestors.” The woman stood up and stood in the center, her eyelids were drooping, and she didn’t even dare to raise her head before she could speak.
It’s a good rule. She was exempted from the ceremony, and Empress Dowager Jin saw from the corner of the eye that the Su Shi was rushing to bring the tea cup.
This lively… Mu Xiyao moved indistinctly and changed her posture, seeing the different expressions of the women in the room, only then did she feel like she was in the harem. Recently, the days have been very harmonious and happy, and today’s appearance shows the true nature of the harem.
Calling someone to come forward, the Queen Mother naturally has something to ask. “Do you also believe in Buddhism? If you don’t, it would be very boring to go there with your family’s Liang Di.” The back garden was not very scenic, and ordinary concubines liked to wander in the front Eryu Garden.
Standing in the middle, Mr. Wan looked ordinary, dressed in a simple manner, as if it was the first time he was questioned by his ancestors alone, and he was a little uneasy. “I have never believed in Buddhism. I just had to flip through a few collections when I was at home, and take a look at it. I felt that I could read it, so I wrote down some truths.
” Selfish. It is very in line with her identity as a daughter of an ordinary family.
The queen mother looked at her for a moment, then suddenly asked. “So. After reading the collection, just now Liangdi mentioned ‘three flowers and four trees’, you look at the bonsai of Aijia, do you think it’s good?”
Sure enough! No matter how sincere you are to worship the Buddha, this is also the experience of this harem. The empress dowager’s eyes are like torches, where can the Su family be fooled. Wan Jingwen’s heartbeat was a little hurried, so she quickly calmed down, so as not to miss the bottom of her answer later when she was excited.
But if you want to say this, you can’t directly overthrow Su Linrou’s previous remarks. She is no more than Crown Prince Baolin, and if she dares to openly offend the Empress Liangdi, even if she succeeds in revealing her face through the Su family, she will have to bear the charge of ignorance of honor and inferiority.
Making up her mind very quickly, Su Linrou tried her best to pretend to be calm and calm, not in a hurry. “The ancestors of the empress dowager took care of them personally, and they were very meticulous in watering, fertilizing and sheltering. The bonsai looked like a good omen. The slaves thought it was very good.” Wan Jingwen lowered her head immediately after replying, respectfully Jing Chu stood there.
But it is this picture that seems to be extremely afraid of being questioned, and in the eyes of the insider, it becomes a cover up. And being able to see through her intentions, in addition to the first Empress Dowager Jin, is Mu Liangdi, who is sitting idle and nibbling on melon seeds.
The play is well done, three points into the wood.
“Hidden and tucked away, why would Aijia not be honest when answering?” Here we go
! Wan Jingwen feigned fear and raised her head, just right to look like she was exposed. Zhang Juan knelt down, bowing his head and daring to speak. “The slaves did not intend to deceive the ancestors of the empress dowager. The slaves were afraid that the slaves had misremembered the collection and would be punished by the ancestors. I also asked the empress dowager to forgive the sins of the slaves’ deception.” After speaking, even his body trembled slightly.
The situation in the hall changed drastically in a blink of an eye, and everyone didn’t think about it at all. They saw the Queen Mother put down her legs from the kang, and stared at the shrinking people below. “Have you remembered correctly, you have Aijia to decide for you. But it doesn’t matter.”
With another melon seed, Mu Xiyao caught the moment when Concubine Shu stared coldly at Helian Minmin, only to feel that the matter was getting worse and worse. tangled. I am afraid that the Crown Princess is now resenting that Wan’s bones. She had been treated coldly by Concubine Shu, but now, because of Su Linrou’s restlessness in the palace, it was her fault for ineffective discipline.
Looking around, Mu Yaonu began to worry. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are not in harmony, and the back house is unstable. Big Boss, this prince deserves it… why don’t you go back to blow the pillow and let the East Palace also stop and stop?
It really makes them have no sense of making a fuss, everyone is a line of grasshoppers. Mu Xiyao was not happy to see the matter of getting burned.
The crown prince’s mansion is the most troublesome woman, and it is a hassle to abandon Zong Zhenglin’s backyard at this moment.
Wan Baolin still knelt on the ground, resting his forehead on the back of his hands, hesitating to tell the truth. “The concubine has read the collection, and it seems that it is not ‘three flowers and four trees’, but ‘five trees and six flowers’.”
Five trees and six flowers… There was no sound in the room. The queen mother did not dare to be presumptuous in front of her, and everyone looked at Su Liangdi frequently. This person was still in high spirits just now, and Xuan Xuan was very pleased. It was just a misnomer, a swollen face and a fat man?
Empress Dowager Jin’s gaze fell on Wan Jingwen’s humbly bent back, and after pondering for a long time, Fang Ci and Kaien absolved her of the crime of deception in the first place. As for Su Baolin, whose expression on the side changed drastically, and he was so ashamed that he couldn’t sew into the ground, the Queen Mother didn’t look at it much.
She has met too many people who are eager to please. Whether there is sincerity or not, it is clear at a glance after testing. These kinds of people are not attached to the villain, and they ruin the place of the prince Liangdi.
His eyes fell on the prince Liangdi, who was sitting quietly, a relaxed person, and the Queen Mother Jin’s eyes sank.
“Girl Mu.”
She was secretly making fun of Su Linrou’s foolishness as Mr. Hui Dongguo, but she was suddenly called by the Queen Mother. Mu Xiyao was refreshed when she heard the words, she sat upright, and a smile gradually appeared on her face.
This fire, so quickly burned her body?
Because of her good status, she was able to get the grace to sit down and answer. As usual, this woman’s eyes were clear and her mouth was cheerful. “Old Ancestor, Liang Dimu is here.”
Yes, the woman’s voice filled the palace and disappeared.
Being interrupted by her like this, the stern look on the Queen Mother’s face just now came out of the question, and it naturally subsided. “Which one doesn’t know you’re there, you’re the only one in the Prince’s Mansion.” He pointed at her and scolded with a smile. Everyone below was a good person, so why don’t you rush to join in the fun.
Mrs. Mu, really thoughtful. No wonder the prince loves her. With a smile on her face, the Queen Mother had already thought how many thoughts had passed through her heart.
Thinking about it, she is also a sensible person. If she spoke openly, Mrs. Mu would not be open to contradicting her. After all, he couldn’t let go of Zong Zhenglin’s lack of heirs, so he smiled and called her to him.
He took her by the hand and asked someone to sit down, so intimate and pleasant, it immediately showed that he was just treating the Su family, and it was nothing.
Su Linrou took the opportunity to excuse her and retreated back to her place in embarrassment, unaware that the Crown Princess was watching fiercely, but instead she was staring at the Wan Shi who was still in the middle.
What a bitch! How dare you insult her! She recited words in front of Mrs Wan, many times. However, she never expected that this woman had an ulterior motive, and she clearly had the ability to discover her omissions, but she concealed it and did not report it, until today she became a blockbuster in Feng’an Palace!
And at this moment, she was so embarrassed that she became the laughing stock of everyone, but it showed that the woman had poetry and books in her stomach, and she was forced to hear Bo Ji.
Su Linrou was full of anger, but the queen mother pulled Mu Xiyao and started talking.
“I remember when you first entered the palace to ask for peace, but the prince’s mansion didn’t pay attention to a concubine. In the blink of an eye, today you’ve become the prince’s mansion.” Patting the back of her hand seemed to be quite emotional. “This woman, after all, she has to think more about men.” Yes, it’s a
cliché. Mu Xiyao was suddenly enlightened and knew what to do.
Sitting people can’t do it right now. Yuan Chengdi is in control, and the queen mother will not interfere rashly. The rest, isn’t it just to ask her to soak in the rain and dew, to be sensible and pamper?
It’s just this candidate… Glancing at Wan Baolin, who was standing honestly, Mu Liangdi smiled softly, and instantly had an idea.
