Chapter 198 Return to the Palace
The holy driver returned, and there was no need to mention a ceremony. Mu Biwei didn't have time to go back to the wind lotus courtyard to clean up. First, she accompanied Ji Shen and was invited to the Heyi Hall by Song Qingyi.
As usual, the Empress Dowager Gao accompanied the smiling Princess Wen. Ji Shen saluted. The Empress Dowager Gao did not show any displeasure. Instead, she asked a few pleasant words about the hard work of hunting. When she heard that Ji Shen was going to give herself the tiger skin she hunted with her own hands, she praised him with a smile.
When it came to the meal, the Empress Dowager naturally left Ji Shen to eat together. Of course, Mu Biwei had no place to sit in front of the Empress Dowager. She served Ji Shen for lunch, and put the tea held by the little maid of honor in the Summer Palace. The Empress Dowager Gao took a sip of tea, and then turned to the topic: "Sanlang heard that Xu was hunting this time. Many things?"
While talking, the Empress Dowager Gao looked at Lei Mo standing behind Ji Shen, and her eyes were cold, "He didn't even bring back Ruan Wenyi given by Emperor Gaozu?"
"After the mother, Ruan Wenyi is confused. The child has spared him many times. He is really impatient to continue to use him. For the sake of the emperor, he is left to retire in the palace, which is also the righteousness of the master and servant." Ji Shen had already learned the means of the Empress Dowager Gao one by one for the matter of Sun Guicubine, and then stepped into the Yi Hall and knew that the Empress Dowager Gao was going to sacrifice Huairou. The law, pretended not to be aware of it, but prepared in the heart for a long time.
This will hear the Empress Dowager Gao talk about Ruan Wenyi and immediately block it back without thinking.
"It doesn't matter if my son doesn't like to change another slave, but the people who serve you nearby should also know some of your habits. Gu Changfu, who was originally in the Xuanshi Hall, is not bad." Empress Dowager Gao frowned.
Ji Shen secretly thought that Nie Yuan's raw materials were good and smiled faintly and said, "The mother doesn't know that Gu Changfu is Ruan Wenyi's adopted son. This time, the child left Ruan Wenyi in the Xiji Palace. He wanted to ask to stay together to serve Ruan Wenyi and was scolded by the child, but since he was impatient to serve the child, the child was not so big. There is no one in the palace, so I sent him to the inner department. As for the vacant servant in the propaganda hall, I have planned to promote Zhuo Heng.
When the Empress Dowager Gao saw that Ji Shen had a belly manuscript, she even set Gu Changfu's empty position and said it openly. Obviously, she was desperate to intervene and said lukewarmly for a moment, "The Xuanshi Hall is your bedroom. You are also old now. Just how to deal with yourself, and you can't say anything."
"The child used to worry about his mother, but how dare he still do it now?" Ji Shen was busy and humble.
This sentence made Empress Dowager Gao choke again and said, "I don't care about the affairs of the slaves around you, but... Ouyang's family is your uncle's family!" Ruan Wenyi did not come back, and the news from the Empress Dowager Gao was also sent back by the Ouyang family. The Empress Dowager Gao biased Ouyang in the imperial concubine, but compared with the mother-child relationship with her own son, the Empress Dowager Gao paid more attention to the latter. She was angry that He, Mu and others framed Ouyang with Ji Shen's favor, but she also knew Daoji's deep treatment is so heavy that even if Ouyang returns to Zhaoxun's position in the palace, he is just waiting to die.
The Empress Dowager Gao didn't want to fall out with Ji Shen for a useless niece, but she didn't want He and others to let it go, so she bypassed Ouyang's matter and directly mentioned the Ouyang family.
"The mother said it very well." Unexpectedly, Ji listened to this sentence deeply, nodded with a favorable face and said, "How should I order to reprimand a poisonous woman like Ouyang, but the child was also for the sake of his mother, so she only scolded them in private. The mother was relieved that the child had been taught a lesson in the palace, and now she is still But I won't mention it again."
Seeing that the Empress Dowager Gao's face was wrong, Princess Wen quickly said, "Your Majesty's journey is laborious, and she has just returned to the palace. This is also the time when the Empress Dowager usually takes a nap. Why don't Her Majesty go back to the Xuan Room to rest and talk to the Empress Dowager about the interesting things in this year's hunting?"
Ji Shen was naturally happy to get out and was about to leave, but the Empress Dowager Gao raised her eyelids and said coldly, "I'm not sleepy yet!"
"The empress dowager is not sleepy. I'll talk with the empress dowager." Princess Wen's smile remained unchanged and advised softly, "As for Your Majesty..."
The Empress Dowager Gao was full of anger, glanced at Princess Wen coldly, immediately called the latter to stop, and said to Ji Shen, "I heard that you have abandoned the beauty for this Mu family?"
Ji Shen listened to her talk about whether it was for Ouyang's sake, so she was impatient and deliberately said, "How did the mother know about this? The child originally thought that his mother would treat Ouyang very well. He didn't want her to be so disappointing and do such a thing. If his mother knew it, he would definitely feel sad, so he told him not to tell his mother, whose mouth is this?
"If Sanlang really doesn't want to mourn his family, he should think about it. Ninghua is not only the girl of the Ouyang family, but also your cousin. He has been familiar with you since childhood. How can he turn one of the nine concubines into a scattered beauty for a small Qingyi?" The Empress Dowager Gao said angrily.
"What the mother said is not appropriate." Ji Shen said lightly, "When the child chose a concubine, the mother once said that the concubine should value virtue. What is Ouyang's origin? Since she entered the palace, she should guard herself as a palace concubine. The ordinary woman still knows that she should not be jealous. As a concubine, she is not grateful. Instead, she is self-reted on her position and intends to murder Qingyi. Later, I know that the fragrance of hatred stained with clothes has been difficult for a long time. If it hadn't been for Wei Niang's cleverness, she might have harmed the child. Since such a poisonous woman can kill the child's favored by jealousy, who knows when she will attack the child? Of course, Ouyang is the mother's niece. It is not surprising that the mother is sad for her, but the child is the mother's mother. Does the mother think Ouyang is more important than the child?
The Empress Dowager Gao's anger turned into an ice water poured down on her head. Princess Wen next to her saw that the Empress Dowager Gao's back had not change, but her sleeves trembled. She was shocked and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty's words are the youngest son of the Empress Dowager. Even if the Empress Dowager loves her niece, how can she surpass Her Majesty? Isn't it for Your Majesty that the Empress Dowager asked this? After all, Ouyang is His Majesty's cousin. Your Majesty has dealt with her so seriously. The Empress Dowager is always worried that Your Majesty will suffer losses, didn't she?
After being pulled by Princess Wen a few times, the Empress Dowager Gao reluctantly nodded.
Ji Shen took the opportunity to say, "So it is, but the child misunderstood his mother's painstaking efforts and begged his mother to punish her."
"Now that you are old, you have to decide everything by yourself. You don't have to ask your family." Empress Dowager Gao was distracted and said that after the news of the Ouyang family came back to Yedu, where did the Empress Dowager Gao not know that this was He's reversal? Even Mu Biwei, who was murdered, may not be so innocent, but Dai and Si, who contributed to the flames, are the meaning of the topic.
But if you are so afraid of not having a gap with Ji Shen, and ask He and others to step on Ouyang's position as if nothing had happened, how can the Empress Dowager Gao swallow this breath? She was silent for a moment and said to Ji Shen, "Since you have reached a conclusion on this matter, my family didn't say anything. I just heard that Mu disappeared after poisoning and was separated from Nie Yuansheng..."
Ji Shen felt that Nie Yuansheng had been dragged down by himself and quickly interrupted, "This is all nonsense. The child has punished the person who said so, and even He's child has been imprisoned for half a month."
Hearing his maintenance of Nie Yuansheng, the Empress Dowager took a deep breath before continuing: "Even so, you are about to become a father. If Nie Yuansheng hadn't been for your love, you should have married and had children after keeping filial piety. In the past, it was fine for you to let him go in and out of the palace. How can you indulge him like this now? Since such a rumor can have a second time, how can you ask the concubines in the palace to deal with it?
Mu Biwei suddenly turned pale when she heard the words, knelt down and cried, "Please be clear. Except for seeing Nie Shilang when serving Your Majesty, I have never seen Nie Shilang in private! The maidservant is really wrong!"
The Empress Dowager Gao said angrily, "My family didn't ask you!" Get out of here!"
"The mother's words were wrong. This time, Wei Niang almost lost her life in the hands of Ouyang, and was taken the poisonous woman who took the opportunity to spread rumors and almost ruined her reputation. After suffering from these many grievances, the mother did not only comfort her, but said bad words to each other. Isn't it cold in the harem?" Seeing that the Empress Dowager Gao scolded Mu Biwei like this, Ji Shen naturally thought that the Empress Dowager Gao was obviously dissatisfied with abandoning the Ouyang family and deliberately embarrassed Mu Biwei, or in front of her. She was unhappy and said rudely.
The Empress Dowager Gao laughed angrily: "Comfort? A blue coat, what is it! Is it also worthy of family comfort? Is Sanlang confused when he comes back from hunting this time?
"The Empress Dowager is about to be angry, and your majesty is also angry with Ouyang. What's wrong with mother and son? Why are you so angry?" Princess Wen quickly called up as soon as she heard it.
However, Ji Shen's face has also cooled down: "The child is indeed confused. Wei Niang is the original daughter of the third-grade master, but she only lives in the position of Qingyi. She has been greatly wronged her, but she did not care at all. She did her best to serve the child and was murdered for this. If the child had known about this, it would have been inevitable at the beginning. I won't allow the invitation of the prime minister!"
"What do you want to do?" Empress Dowager Gao brushed Princess Wen's hand and said coldly.
"The child intends to be Jin Wei Niang as the imperial concubine, so the mother doesn't have to ask anyone to prepare for the soup in the future." Ji Shen said coldly.
Empress Dowager Gao was furious: "Nonsense! Mu's entry into the palace was a bad rule, but the two prime ministers insisted on allowing her to enter the palace. It was an exception to be a female official. In just a few days, you were going to promote her as a palace concubine. Didn't you listen to what the two prime ministers said at the beginning? This is a matter of shaking the society! If you want to do this, why don't you first give three feet of Bai Ling to ask your brother and brother to go to see the ancestors together!"
"It's just a palace concubine, and the mother said so as if the child would immediately fall in love with my Ji's world." Ji Shen brushed her sleeves and sneered, "Is it possible that a child is the son of heaven, and not even a concubine? The child is not pro-government now, but he is not a puppet!"
Hearing his meaning, Empress Dowager Gao trembled with anger and pointed to Ji Shen angrily for a long time, but she didn't say a word. She fell straight down!
"Empress Dowager!!" Song Qingyi was shocked, and Princess Wen also stood up and couldn't say much. She ordered Song Qingyi: "Go to the imperial hospital and invite a doctor!"
Song Qingyi didn't do it, so he ran out directly!
Ji Shen was stunned at first. When Princess Wen trembled her lips and said, "Your Majesty is strong, please take the empress dowager into the bedroom first, in case the imperial doctor will be consulted." Ji Shen coughed unnaturally and answered, "It was me who said something in a hurry. Thank you for reminding me."
After Empress Dowager Wen followed him, a group of people gathered into the bedroom, served the Empress Dowager Gao to change her clothes and put down the curtain. Ji Shen retreated outside as early before they changed their clothes for Empress Dowager Gao. When she saw Princess Wen come out, she also had a look of regret on her face: "There is Mrs. Wen."
"Your Majesty, don't be sad. I just touched the pulse of the Empress Dowager, but I was angry for a moment and closed my breath. When the imperial doctor came to see me, I thought it was fine." Princess Wen's face was soft, but she first erased most of Ji Shen's worries and guilt, and continued to comfort her softly, "It's just that your majesty wants to promote Mu Qingyi to the throne, but you should also speak slowly!"
Ji sighed deeply and bowed her head and said, "What's mother Wen taught me a lesson."
"I dare not say this. Your Majesty is the son of heaven. How can I teach your Majesty a lesson?" When Princess Wen heard the words, she quickly said and whispered, "Today's story is not good for your majesty and the empress dowager... Your majesty looks at these people..."
Ji Shen suddenly said, "Thank you for reminding me!" Lei Mo behind him was a servant in the palace for many years. He was used to look at his eyes and immediately said, "Your Majesty, I will summon people to the side hall, but I returned to the palace. Everyone looked at me alive and asked your majesty to come forward in person!"
Over there, Ji Shen brought Lei Mo to beat the palace people of the Yi Hall to seal his mouth. When Mu Biwei left, his footsteps slowed down and was gently pulled by Princess Wen and whispered a few words...
