Rong Changan's answer was also watertight: "Queen Mother, I have lived in the military camp for a long time. In terms of temperament, I have already become half a woman, so I can't even think about your so-called daughter's worries."
The Empress Dowager's face was a bit ugly, and her tone was harshly reprimanded: "Girls, how can they dance with guns and clubs? I don't know how your parents were willing to let you leave Hongzhuang at that time?"
Rong Changan didn't say anything, but retorted in his heart: "How my parents educate me is my parents' business! It's better than your parents, who educate you to be an ambitious man!"
The Empress Dowager sat back in her seat and fiddled with the string of Buddhist beads in her hand.
"Queen, I haven't seen Ziyan for quite a while. What's wrong with her recently? Why didn't she come to pay my respects? Could it be that now that Hai'er favored her, she forgot me as a bad old woman? It's really heartless."
It's finally time! Going around, the Empress Dowager hosted a banquet for Rong Changan today just for the sake of Ziyan, which was already expected by Rong Changan.
Rong Changan also didn't want to hide it: "Qi Queen Mother, I'm afraid Ziyan won't be able to come to greet you in the future..."
"What?" The Empress Dowager's old eyes shot out, "Why can't Ziyan come to see me? Could something have happened? Is it sick? Or was she killed by some scheming bitch?"
These words were naturally an insinuation to scold Rong Changan, but Rong Changan ignored it.
"Zi Yan was thrown into limbo by the emperor, not any concubine."
boom!
Don't look at the queen mother who is old, but a slap on the table is like a huge thunder.
"How did Hai'er put Ziyan in the sidelines? Ziyan is so nice and well-behaved. If no bitch framed her, how could she have fallen to where she is today?"
Rong Changan drank on his own, and she just pretended not to see the Empress Dowager's attack.
"Empress Dowager, stop your thunderous anger! You will soon pass your 70th birthday in a few days, so don't let Ziyan break your heart."
The empress dowager was very excited, and the shining hairpin on her head fluttered: "Zi Yan is my niece, how can I not be sad! Empress, tell me, which bitch framed her?"
"That's me!" Rong Chang'an said, "But I didn't set it up, it was Ziyan who came to sue me first, but she didn't expect to reveal her own troubles. Tell me, Queen Mother, who can you blame?"
"I don't believe that Ziyan has anything to do with it!" The queen mother categorically rejected Rong Changan's words. She watched Ziyan grow up and knew that Ziyan would not do such a thing. "Queen, has the emperor wronged Ziyan?"
"It's hard for me to say this! This is the emperor's decision after listening to the witnesses and the female officer of the Punishment Department. I didn't add any embellishments." Rong Changan said calmly.
The queen mother guessed that if Rong Chang'an hadn't framed her, Ziyan would not have been thrown into the cold palace by Li Hai. But now she needs Rong Changan's help, so she has to reconcile with Rong Changan.
"Queen, you are the lord of the six palaces, and all the people in the harem are under your control. The whole harem is like a big family. If the wives and concubines are not in harmony, or if the husband and wife are not harmonious, the whole family will not be able to prosper, and it will be difficult to talk about the whole country. Qiangsheng. Therefore, regarding Ziyan’s matter, I hope that the empress can proceed from the overall situation, persuade the emperor, make him change his mind, and release Ziyan from the cold palace.”
"In this way, you will not only let the emperor have no worries, but also benefit Ziyan. Ziyan will definitely be grateful to you. Isn't it a double-win?"
Will Zi Yan be grateful to Dade? Except for Li Hai and the Queen Mother, who in the entire palace would think that Zi Yan would be grateful to Dade
"Queen, as I said, this is the emperor's business, and Chang'an is really helpless."
"Is there no chance at all?"
Rong Changan left the table and made an apologetic bow to the queen mother: "Chang'an doesn't know if there is a chance, but the Chang'an committee is really powerless to rescue Ziyan. That day, the emperor saw Ziyan drinking alone in the back mountain In the side hall, it seems to be waiting for someone, seeing is believing, what else can I say. To say something unkind, Zi Yan is too out of control!"
"Hmph!" The Queen Mother shook her sleeves, turned her back to Rong Chang'an, and was very angry. She pulled down her old face, talked to Rong Changan politely, and arranged a banquet for Rong Changan, but Rong Changan didn't show any face at all, it was really irritating.
After a long time, the Empress Dowager asked again: "Rong Chang'an, I advise you not to be unreasonable! In the palace, Feng Shui takes turns, you may be the one who will be unlucky one day! There will always be times when you beg for help. Don't do everything so badly!"
Rong Changan replied: "Even if I, Rong Changan, ask for it, I will not be able to ask Zi Yan for it."
The queen mother felt dizzy for a while: this Rong Chang'an really doesn't eat food, oil and salt, it's too difficult to deal with!
"Rong Chang'an, I'll make a deal with you. Say something nice to Zi Yan from the emperor, and I can promise you anything."
"What's the matter?" Rong Changan asked.
The Queen Mother said: "You can do whatever you say."
"Anything is fine?"
"Naturally, it doesn't include those things that have caused chaos and treason." The Queen Mother added.
Rong Chang'an has nothing for the queen mother to agree to at present, but the queen mother is almost seventy, Rong Chang'an doesn't want her to be too embarrassing, so he goes along with the flow and gives her face.
"Well, since the Queen Mother has already mentioned this point, if I don't talk to Zi Yan again, I will feel very sorry." Rong Changan said, "But my ugly words come first, I just talk to Zi Yan Love, whether Zi Yan can be released or not depends on the emperor's own will. Zi Yan can be released, it is Zi Yan's blessing; if not, the Queen Mother should not blame me."
The queen mother hurriedly turned around, with a smile on her face: "As long as you do your best, even if Ziyan can't come out, Ziyan and I don't blame you."
"Okay then, I'll go to the emperor to have a try."
…
Wenchang Building.
The palace leak ticks, and there is no sleep in the night. Without Ziyan by his side, even if Li Hai called all the women in the harem, he still couldn't relieve the loneliness in his heart.
Unable to fall asleep, I went to Wenchang Building to watch classics.
The bright candlelight shone on his thin, stern and sad face.
"Your Majesty, Empress Rong is here!" Eunuch Liu said outside the door.
Let's not talk about Rong Chang'an, Li Hai gets angry when she is mentioned! If it wasn't for Rong Chang'an, Li Hai wouldn't have thrown Zi Yan into the cold palace. Now that Ziyan is in the cold palace, Li Hai feels very uncomfortable, always afraid that Ziyan will not live well in the cold palace.
"No, no! Let her go back to her own Fengming Palace." Holding the wine bottle in his hand, Li Hai said to Eunuch Liu impatiently.
"This... isn't this good?" Eunuch Liu said.
"Why is it bad?" Li Hai said angrily, "I can't afford to offend you, can't I still hide!"
Rong Chang'an had already stood outside the door at some point, and smiled: "Your Majesty, what do you mean you can't be provoked, and you can't hide?"
Li Hailong's body trembled slightly, squinting his eyes and coldly glanced at Rong Changan outside the door.
She was originally a very good woman, but if a woman's power was taken to the side, she would be unlovable and very annoying. Li Hai could not wait to walk over now, and spit on Rong Changan's face.
Li Hai's indifference made Rong Chang'an feel a little heartbroken. She won the harem, won the victory against Ziyan, and once won the foreign war, but she couldn't win Li Hai's heart.
