Cai He sensed that the atmosphere in the room was not right, she had never seen her mother look like this before, she carefully glanced at the old lady in the seat, and finally went out without saying anything, and called Lan Ju in.
When Jiang Wenya left, she held her grandmother's hand a little harder, maybe she didn't realize how helpless she was looking at her grandmother.
Tang Lihua felt a little distressed. In Yuanshen's memory, she had a natural closeness to Jiang Wenya, and perhaps Yuanshen's emotional effect, but Tang Lihua, who knew all of Yuanshen's memories, did not want to resist such closeness at all.
"Don't be afraid, grandma will always stand behind you. You don't know that, your father, mother, brother, and brother will always be your backing. If you think about it, you will be risking the world and we will help you." Tang Lihua said Sincerely.
Jiang Wenya's eyelids trembled slightly, her heart was shaken, she looked straight at this kind old man, a tear rolled from the corner of her eye, and she suddenly smiled.
"Grandmother, I will not let anyone who harmed my child be spared, not even him!"
Tang Lihua was a little relieved, but for the male protagonist in this world, his behavior was really disgusting. In the novel, except for the female protagonist, all the other women in the harem were completely abandoned after being used by him.
The male lead completely controlled the government and the public, and after no one could shake his power, those concubines were actually sent to the royal temple to become monks by a decree.
According to historical records, in the first half of his life, Emperor Song Cheng only loved Concubine Jiang Huang, but the imperial concubine had a heart like a snake and scorpion. praised by the people.
This is a plot at the end of the novel, and history is really in the hands of the victors.
At this time, Caihe had already brought the orchid chrysanthemum into the hall, and the two knelt down to salute.
Jiang Wenya has also eased up a little now, and asked Caihe, "What is the matter between the emperor and Ning Cainu that you just said?"
Cai He was slightly stunned, and then remembered that he hadn't told the empress what happened on the palace road, so he explained everything in detail.
"Crack." After Cai He finished speaking, the teacup on Jiang Wenya's left hand fell to the ground.
"It's really courageous. Now people in the palace don't pay attention to me. It's very good." In Jiang Wenya's view, this is not an accident. How can there be so many accidents in the harem? Which one is simple for a woman.
Cai He said, "Madam, I have rewarded Ning Cainu with twenty slaps, and made her kneel there for three full hours, but..."
"Say." Regarding her hesitation, Jiang Wenya glanced at her sharply.
Cai He trembled, and immediately said, "It's just that Lan Ju said that after we left, the emperor came and pardoned Ning Cainu's punishment."
Anger appeared in Jiang Wenya's eyes, and the emotions that had been suppressed just now tended to explode again.
Tang Lihua patted her cold hand reassuringly, and ordered, "Lan Ju, you come."
"Yes." Lan Ju lowered her head, said what happened just now, and then added hesitantly, "My servant is not in a good mood seeing the emperor, I must have heard Aunt Caihe's words, and this servant has vaguely heard the emperor's words." Rebuke Eunuch Hu."
Those who can serve in the Yongshou Palace, and those who gain face in front of the imperial concubine, are not stupid, let alone have a delicate heart, but they are more cautious than others on weekdays.
How many people are staring at Yongshou Palace, if they make a big mistake and are caught by the pigtails, and then deal with the master, then they are useless as slaves.
Not to mention, the four maids of Yongshou Palace, Caihe and Lanju were all brought into the palace from Xuanpinghou's mansion, and they are the most loyal to Jiang Wenya.
Lan Ju was even more attentive than others. When she came back, she was thinking all the way, and she always felt that the emperor's attitude was not right. She asked if the palace road near the emperor had better hearing, and she grasped the key point from their reply. .
"The emperor was dissatisfied with Aunt Caihe's punishment of Ning Cainu. Eunuch Hu said something, and he was also reprimanded. He said yes, Ning Cainu is the emperor's woman, and it is not up to us slaves to make decisions." Lan Ju said boldly. come out.
In fact, Lan Ju is panicking now, she is a little afraid that the emperor will get tired of Yongshou Palace and embarrassing the empress.
And the reason why Lan Ju said this at the risk of disrespect is because she wanted her mother to take care of it, so as not to anger the emperor.
To everyone's surprise, Jiang Wenya was very calm at this time, even too calm.
Tang Lihua sighed in her heart, only she knew how uncomfortable her granddaughter was feeling at this moment.
"You all retreat." Tang Lihua ordered, Cai He and Lan Ju looked at each other, but retreated.
The moment the palace door closed, Jiang Wenya slammed all the tea sets on the table in hand to the ground.
She looked at Tang Lihua with red eyes, "How could he, how could he treat me like this, you are my grandmother, my grandmother."
If it weren't for what Tang Lihua said to Jiang Wenya before, Jiang Wenya wouldn't have had such a big reaction to what Cai Holland Chrysanthemum said, and at most she would give Ning Cainu some punishment.
But with the previous conversation, how could Jiang Wenya not think too much, she hated her child and her grandmother, that person was not taken seriously, and I am afraid that she was never taken seriously either.
That's right, if it was in his heart, how could he cruelly drug himself. Jiang Wenya gave a panicked smile, followed by overwhelming anger.
Tang Lihua didn't dissuade, "If you want to vent, vent it now. This is the only time. After today, you have to pretend that you don't know anything, so that you can get a chance for yourself and protect yourself. It is your responsibility to protect the Marquis of Xuanping's mansion." .”
"It is our responsibility to protect you without worries and to be your solid backing."
The sound of cracking porcelain was heard continuously in the hall, and the palace people outside the hall were frightened. Cai He and Lan Ju had worried eyes. They wanted to go in, but they didn't get a message, so they remembered to pace back and forth outside.
When the sound stopped and half an hour had passed since the palace door was opened from the inside, they were overjoyed, it was the old lady who walked out.
Cai He stepped forward, "Old Madam, Your Majesty..."
"Don't spread the matter today. Send someone to Eunuch Hu in front of the imperial court to tell him that a vicious dog broke into the Yongshou Palace and broke a lot of things. Let Eunuch Hu help repair them." Tang Lihua ordered.
Cai He quickly responded, "Yes."
"Let someone go in and clean it up. Be gentle with your hands and feet. Your Majesty is sleeping, don't bother me." Tang Lihua said again.
Naturally, no one should respond to what she said, and after giving all orders, Tang Lihua left the palace.
It's just that she didn't know that when Jiang Wenya, who was supposed to be asleep after she left, suddenly opened her eyes, her eyes were clear, and there was no trace of sleepiness in her eyes.
She stared blankly at the top of the bed, tears kept falling, her mind was filled with intentions when they first met, joy when they saw each other again, and the days and nights in the palace all these years.
Now it seems that that man has no heart at all. If so, why should he be affectionate.
If he wanted to take her life and destroy her Xuanping Hou Mansion, he had to pass his own test.
What kind of shit emperor, what kind of shit emperor and noble concubine, is it rare for her to be Jiang Wenya? !
It's really disgusting for a man like a dog to rely on women to stabilize his power.
He doesn't deserve to be compared with his own children, compared with his own family, this pain of bereavement, she, Jiang Wenya, won't let it go so easily!
There was shocking determination in Jiang Wenya's eyes.
Cai He was watching the maids and eunuchs clean up the mess in the outer hall. When she first came in, she saw the debris all over the floor and the whip thrown on the ground, so she knew what happened.
But she didn't know why the empress was in such a turbulent mood, she smashed the whole house with a whip, Cai He was shocked and distressed at the same time.
Their empress is such a bright and flamboyant person, Cai He has never seen an empress like this.
Caihe was full of thoughts in his mind, when he heard the summon from the inner hall, he was shocked immediately and walked in quickly.
"Caihe, go and tell Eunuch Hu that I am not feeling well. Please ask the emperor to accompany me to have dinner, and then tell the imperial dining room to prepare more of my favorite food. The dinner will be placed next to the red coral in the outer hall." Jiang Wenya leaned on Sitting up, her face was a little pale, and the black hair like a waterfall of ink was scattered on her shoulders, adding a sense of weakness and beauty.
Jiang Wenya smiled, as if to explain, but also as to tell herself, "I want to appreciate the beauty of this red coral with the Holy Majesty, so naturally I have to get closer to see it clearly."
After Tang Lihua left the palace, she went straight back to Xuanpinghou's Mansion. Just as she got out of the carriage, she saw the figure poking her head at the door. It wasn't Huang's or whoever it was. She knew why she was waiting for her without thinking.
Mrs. Huang has been waiting here all morning anxiously. Looking at the familiar carriage, her eyes lit up instantly, and she rushed to meet it.
"Old Ancestor, you have come back. What does your Majesty say? When will you save Lin'er and come back?" Huang Qianzi stepped forward to help Tang Lihua get off the carriage.
As soon as Tang Lihua stood firm, Huang couldn't wait to ask such a series of questions.
"When did I tell my mother to save Jiang Lin?" Tang Lihua looked at Huang's in surprise.
Huang was stunned, her mother-in-law did not say that, but in Huang's view, the reason why her mother-in-law entered the palace in person was for Lin'er, she couldn't just visit her, right
"Instead of putting your mind on saving that useless boy every day, you might as well think about how to teach him after he leaves Dali Temple, so as not to go in again in the future." Tang Lihua said.
He also said, "The old man will not save him, and the Marquis of Xuanping will not come forward to save him, so let him suffer more."
Huang simply couldn't figure out how her mother-in-law's attitude changed so quickly, and she was on the same front with her husband.
It's just that the mother-in-law didn't let go, and the Huang family didn't dare to make decisions without authorization. No matter how urgent it is, now it can only wait for the result from Dali Temple.
Lin'er, it's useless for your mother, if you can't save you, just bear with it, and when you come back, my mother will definitely make it up to you.
Huang comforted him in her heart like this, and her anxious mood improved a lot. She thought of another matter, and temporarily put the matter of her youngest son behind her.
"Old Ancestor, let's not talk about Lin'er for the time being. It's not appropriate for you to lock Qi'er, Master Zhu, and Li in Chengxin Courtyard, right?" Huang carefully considered her mother-in-law's face.
Tang Lihua raised her eyebrows slightly. Even Mrs. Huang knew about it. It seemed that the yard was very lively today.
After thinking about it, he simply turned to Chengxinyuan.
Jiang Qi actually had the most painful night in his life. At the beginning, there was a wonderful song, friends with the same taste, and good wine. It was really very comfortable.
Later, a few people were drinking and having fun, and after two hours, they found that the song had not been interrupted. At this time, the three of them were a little dizzy, and told the girl to stop playing, but no one listened.
The three of them smelled of alcohol and were really disturbing others, so they wanted to grab the piano, but were stopped one by one by the guards, and then Zhu and Li wanted to leave and go back to the house, but they were stopped again.
Helpless, they went to rest in the house, no one stopped this time.
The most painful thing was the second day. After drinking, my brain was swollen and painful. Before dawn, the three of them had a dream of listening to music all night, and they were also awakened by the music.
The three of them were forced to go to the yard to continue listening to the music, and the same delicious food and wine as last night were already prepared on the table.
Normally, they would naturally have to drink a lot, but now the three of them looked up at the sky that hadn't completely cooled down, with dazed expressions on their faces.
It's just that there are servants watching all the time, and these servants are ordered by the old lady, and they are indifferent to the threat of the young master.
So Jiang Qi, Zhu, and Li sat and dozed while "appreciating" the beautiful music. When they were about to fall asleep completely, they would always be forcibly woken up by the servants around them.
In this way, at dawn, the three of them almost collapsed. They were not obedient people in the first place, but after they were fully refreshed, they immediately started to make trouble.
Zhu and Li didn't care if this was the Xuanpinghou's Mansion or not, they just wanted to go back to the mansion and sleep well for three days and three nights, quietly, and there was no more music!
It's just that a few people are doing nothing for nothing, wanting to get close to the girl who plays the music? no way. Want to get out of the yard? Not even a window.
After yelling, Mrs. Huang was called, but Mrs. Huang's presence was useless, except for the old lady, the guards inside and out couldn't hear a word.
When Tang Lihua approached Chengxinyuan, she heard the sound of curling music, like gurgling water, the player who played the music was a bit skilled.
It's just that some impatient male voices are mixed in this beautiful song from time to time, which destroys the good intentions.
"See the old lady." Seeing Tang Lihua, all the guards were shocked.
Tang Lihua nodded, "Open the door."
Then someone stepped forward and unlocked the courtyard door, and the three people who were still noisy in the room fell silent for a moment, looking towards the courtyard door as if they were looking at straws.
After one night, the three young masters who were elegantly dressed yesterday are now in a lot of distress.
"Grandmother, you're here. These dog slaves must have listened to daddy's instructions and have the audacity to lock up the grandson from yesterday to now. Grandmother, you have to make the decision for the grandson." Jiang Qi has long thought clearly. The only one who can order these servants and have the heart to make himself suffer is only his father.
So when he saw his grandmother, Jiang Qi wanted to sue, and only his grandmother could control his father in the family.
When Tang Lihua saw the head approaching her, she didn't dislike the smell of alcohol fermented all night, and patted Jiang Qi's head with a smile.
"Good grandson, it's not your father, I ordered it."
"Ah?" Jiang Qi originally lowered his head obediently so that his grandmother could do it, but now, after hearing this, he looked up at his grandmother in a daze, as stupid as he could be.
Standing behind Tang Lihua, Mrs. Huang looked at her stupid son and couldn't bear to turn her head away. She didn't want the stupid looking son in front of her to destroy his image in her heart.
If Jiang Qi knew what the old mother was thinking, she would probably cry, mother, the old ancestor said, mother is not too stupid!
"Are you having fun with your friends?" Tang Lihua asked again.
Jiang Qi's chaotic mind hadn't turned around yet, he nodded first, then shook his head violently, aggrieved, "Grandmother, grandson doesn't want to stay here anymore, grandson doesn't want to listen to music and drink anymore."
Tang Lihua nodded, and when Jiang Qi thought his grandmother agreed, he just showed joy, and heard the grandmother who loved him all the time say, "Didn't you say this song is good, and you want to learn it for me and your mother? Since you want to learn it, of course you have to learn it." Listen."
Jiang Qi was dumbfounded, always felt that something was wrong, Zhu and Li who were next to him could see it at this moment, the elder was trying to discipline the younger, and the two of them just happened to bump into the muzzle of the gun, and this happened.
The two of them were also unlucky, so they hurriedly begged for mercy, "Old Madam, please forgive us. Brother Li and I promise that we will not mess around with Brother Jiang again in the future."
The two of them have been mentally tortured for so long, and what they said was sincere. When they saw Jiang Qi in the future, they would definitely run away.
Otherwise, it would be too much for them to be tossed like this again. The problem is that they have suffered and have yet to explain it.
If you tell your elders, let's not say whether they will go to Xuanping Hou's mansion because of such a trivial matter, I am afraid that if they hear such a thing, they would like to send the two of them over immediately, and then pay a lot of thanks, so that Hou The old lady disciplined them together.
Thinking of this possibility and seeing Madam Hou's methods, both of them shuddered, and looked at Madam Hou eagerly, hoping that she would let them off.
Tang Lihua was a little amused. Originally, these two people were just passing by. Seeing that they had learned their lesson, they waved their hands and sent people away.
Zhu and Li were convinced, bowed and thanked, and ran away in a hurry.
Jiang Qi stared at their figures running away in a daze, then reacted, and ruthlessly cast aside, "No loyalty."
Turning to look at the old lady with a flattering expression, "Grandma, look at me..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted again by the smiling Tang Lihua, "Master, please go and wash up, and listen to the music after drinking the hangover decoction."
After Tang Lihua finished speaking, she took Huang away. Huang looked helpless in her son's eyes asking for help. She could see clearly that her ancestors would not let herself interfere in disciplining her son.
Huang's good thing is this place, even if she is dissatisfied with her mother-in-law's words, she will follow them, and she will not take her dissatisfaction to heart in the future, unlike the mistress of other families, who can't wait to catch her all inside In the hand, it is common to compete with the mother-in-law for power.
She also knew Huang's temperament, so Tang Lihua didn't have to worry too much.
"Master Hou hasn't been back to the mansion for a few days?" Tang Lihua looked at her absent-minded daughter-in-law and asked suddenly on the way back to Yilan Courtyard after leaving Chengxin Courtyard.
After realizing what her mother-in-law asked, Huang felt a little sad, "Master Hou hasn't come back for two months."
Tang Lihua was also indifferent. Her son was training soldiers in a military camp not far from the capital, but he hadn't returned home for two consecutive months. It seemed that it was really because of the two sons that he was unhappy.
Sighing, Tang Lihua said, "You send a message to Master Hou, asking him to go back to the mansion in the near future, I have something to discuss with him."
Mrs. Huang responded, and after sending her mother-in-law back to the yard, she went to do her own business.
First, he delivered a letter to Lord Hou, and then asked someone to send a lot of food and clothing to the youngest son in Dali Temple, and then he was busy with the affairs of the house.
It was dark, and Hu Jiuqing carefully lit the oil lamp in the imperial study room. Looking at Emperor Song Cheng who was on the dragon chair who was silently reviewing the memorial, he still bit the bullet and reminded, "Your majesty, you promised to marry the imperial concubine this afternoon." Let's have dinner together, it's getting late, you see..."
Hearing those three words, Emperor Song Cheng became agitated for a while, and dropped the memorial in his hand. When Hu Jiuqing thought he was going to get angry, he saw him take a deep breath, and then calmed down, "Get ready."
Arriving at Yongshou Palace in the dark, Emperor Song Cheng got off the imperial chariot, but he didn't see the figure who usually waited for him at the gate of the palace. He frowned slightly, and thought of today's pass, saying that she was unwell, and thought he had found it. reason.
When he entered the palace and saw Jiang Wenya who was not wearing makeup, Emperor Song Cheng was stunned for a moment, then stepped forward a few steps, shook Jiang Wenya's cold hand, and blamed him, "Why is my concubine so careless about her body? Wear some, I will feel bad when I catch a cold."
Listening to his extremely hypocritical words, Jiang Wenya almost vomited, and the skin he touched was like ants crawling over, which was disgusting.
Jiang Wenya didn't know why she changed so quickly. If Tang Lihua was here at this time, she would give her an answer.
As the saying goes, love desires life, hate desires death, and Jiang Wenya is now in the latter position.
