Chapter 41

Views:

In the Chonghua Palace, the Empress Dowager sat on the pit with a gloomy face. Opposite her was the Emperor Chongde who was thinking.

Emperor Chongde pondered for a while, and said, "Queen, winter is coming soon. Is it inappropriate for Princess Su to go to Tongcheng at this time?"

The queen mother glanced at him, pursed her lips and said, "Do you think Aijia is really so unkind? Aijia doesn't like Concubine Su very much, but it doesn't make things difficult for her. But Concubine Anyang is clearly To trouble Concubine Su, she is willing to sacrifice a spy to do this this time, just to warn Aijia that as long as Concubine Su is in Beijing, she will make it difficult for Concubine Su and Aijia! And the bitter cold in Tongcheng A place where women go there, don’t women suffer? That bitch Princess Anyang must want Princess Su to go to Tongcheng to accompany Ba Ning, and it can be regarded as a lesson for her. Hmph! That bitch is so vicious, if Princess Su is here If something happened here in the Ai family, no matter what the truth is, Baning will always have pimples for the Ai family, this is obviously to sow discord, to drive a wedge between the Ai family and King Su's mother-child relationship!"

The empress dowager became more and more angry as she spoke, and at the end she covered her aching chest and cursed "bitch woman, bastard woman". It is conceivable that Anyang concubine Anyang really succeeded in angering the empress dowager again this time. once.

Emperor Chongde also knew that his mother and Concubine Anyang were cheating on me, and I was playing tricks on you. This is a way of exchanging feelings between them. The two fought for a lifetime, but they were able to cope with it. Fang and Qimao each other for the purpose. Emperor Chongde always knew that Concubine Anyang was smart, and she was only trying to respond to the Queen Mother, and she would not really commit murder. At most, she would only teach Concubine Su a lesson. An enemy that is difficult to hit hard can kill two birds with one stone, so why not do it.

However, this result made him wonder how to tell Chu Baning that before Chu Baning left the capital, he had sworn to the emperor that someone would take care of Princess Su, who knew that such a thing would happen in the palace. Now, Concubine Su is forcing Concubine Anyang to leave the capital...

However, Emperor Chongde couldn't do anything to Concubine Anyang because of this. In any case, when the first emperor was alive, the tragic battle between a dozen older princes was shocking to think about. And the reason why Emperor Chongde was able to ascend the throne so smoothly was because of the help of Concubine Anyang. Emperor Chongde was not a mean and benevolent emperor. Without affecting the country's society, he allowed some small actions of Princess Anyang. Itchy, Emperor Chongde mostly laughed it off. So sometimes no matter how the Queen Mother scolded, Emperor Chongde didn't take any harsh actions.

Emperor Chongde believed that Concubine Anyang was a smart person and knew that "dragons have reverse scales, and you will die if you touch them", so her petty actions never stepped on his bottom line. But the Empress Dowager did not believe that Concubine Anyang would be so merciful, she expected that she would have some tricks, if something happened to Ananda in her Chonghua Palace, what would people in the world think of her? She will definitely think that her mother-in-law is dissatisfied with Ananda's identity, making things difficult for this daughter-in-law, and maybe her own son will also feel uncomfortable.

The Queen Mother must not let this happen!

"Your Majesty, the Ai family asked Concubine Su to go to Tongcheng not only to avoid Concubine Anyang's frame, but also to bully peace." After the Empress Dowager was excited, she began to analyze it with the Emperor in detail, "Your Majesty, you also know that Su Wang is not old. Younger, how many men as old as him have children, because of this matter, King Su has been ridiculed by people outside so many times. Aijia also thinks that King Su should have a descendant, but you also know that King Su The eccentricity of the king, how much has the Aijia worried about it? If Concubine Su doesn't follow, who will serve King Su? He doesn't want the woman that Aijia sent over. Apart from sending Concubine Su, Aijia can is there any method?"

At the end of the queen mother's speech, she was both disappointed and uncomfortable, and finally could only sigh.

The reason behind the empress dowager's implication is very good: as a man, if a wife doesn't follow her husband, it's a shame to serve her husband! How can you steam buns and have a baby if you are not together

However, the empress dowager spoke affectionately, but the corners of Emperor Chongde's mouth twitched slightly. The empress dowager's reason--it was quite justified. However, it was rare for the Queen Mother to speak his mind.

"Queen, I feel that Ba Ning would not want Concubine Su to go to Tongcheng."

It was the first time that Emperor Chongde saw his younger brother, who was as serious as Lao Tzu, say with such a gentle expression, "Tongcheng is located in the extreme north. It is cold and the supplies are scarce, so it is not suitable for women to survive." Well, Emperor Chongde had never seen this brother who was serious on the surface but cold and domineering in his heart defend a person like this. For this reason, he is also willing to send someone to secretly protect Concubine Su, just for his younger brother's peace of mind.

"Hmph, this is the will of the Ai family. If he doesn't want Princess Su to go, the Ai family will send a few strong and fertile women there!" The queen mother threatened bitterly, and was almost angered by her youngest son who was far away in Tongcheng. half dead.

Mingming travels thousands of miles, and being a mother is the most worrying and missing thing. But when he thought of his son's behavior that could poke a lung tube, he became annoyed again! How can a mother have to yield to her son? She gave birth to a son, not a Bodhisattva who came back to make offerings.

After hearing this, Emperor Chongde was full of helplessness. He knew that since his mother became the empress dowager, because no one was suppressing her anymore, she seemed to have lost her restraint all of a sudden, and her temper became more and more tough. I can't blame the youngest son for being more and more expressionless towards her, and less and less likely to dump her. It's disgusting to do things like this for your own good, but actually do something that people don't like.

However, the son never speaks of the mother's fault, and the son can't say anything about what the queen dowager will do.

"Mother, would it not be good for Princess Su to stay in the capital to accompany you?" Emperor Chongde tried to change the Queen Mother's mind, "I will take care of Princess Anyang's place, I believe she will give me face! And since Princess Su entered the palace After being with you, I see that your spirit and complexion are much better, and your voice is much more energetic than before, which makes me very relieved."

"..." The Empress Dowager's expression froze, her fingers tightly grasped the handkerchief, she looked at Emperor Chongde aggrievedly, suspecting that this son was here to stab her heart.

The queen mother really wanted to yell at the emperor's son: which eye of yours has seen Aijia's spirit? Aijia's whole body hurts because of that unfilial daughter-in-law. If she is kept in the palace, Aijia's life expectancy will be cut in half! ! !

The queen mother held her breath, and said lightly: "Your Majesty, it is a wife's duty to serve her husband. It is also her duty for Concubine Su to go to Tongcheng. You don't need to persuade her anymore. The Ai family has made up their minds!"

The queen mother tried her best to suppress the urge to stare at others. At least she knew that although the person in front of her was a son, he was still the ruler of the ninety-five years, the lord of a country, and she couldn't tolerate her being too presumptuous. "Your Majesty, do you still remember the lady of the Chu family? Since the lady of the Chu family is willing to resolutely abandon the wealth and prosperity of the capital for the sake of her husband and follow her husband to station in the border town, Princess Su should be fine too! You just need to send more people to send Princess Su away safely. Just go to Tongcheng."

Emperor Chongde sighed inwardly, and thought to himself: The wife of the Chu family followed her mother-in-law He's behavior of stalking her husband when she was just married, so she ran away with her. Your decree is just to make everyone in the capital laugh at you. Is it the wicked mother-in-law who has the same virtue as He's, who specially makes things difficult for her daughter-in-law

This mother...why do you always do these distressing things

Seeing that the Empress Dowager had made up her mind, Emperor Chongde felt troubled again. He really didn't know how to explain this to his younger brother so that he could calm down. He believed that the Queen Mother's decision should have made Chu Baning angry again.

After Emperor Chongde finally left Chonghua Palace, the Empress Dowager ordered Ananda to be invited.

The queen mother knew that compared with the rich and comfortable environment in the capital, Tongcheng was unspeakably bad, so when explaining her will to Ananda this time, the queen mother spoke to Ananda in a very gentle and compassionate tone.

What the Empress Dowager said to Ananda meant nothing more than one thing: It is the duty of a wife to serve your husband, and it is also your duty to give birth to buns for your husband. I hope that after you return from Tongcheng, the Ai family can hear the good news about you. If there is no good news... Heh heh heh, wait for the side concubine to come in.

Ananda: =__=! Queen Mother is cool, are you sure your threat will work? Will your son obediently marry a side concubine

Ananda also began to worry in his heart, if he went to Tongcheng, he would be able to meet his prince, and it would be great if he didn't have to wait for years to meet each other. As for the severe cold weather in Tongcheng... Anyway, as long as you prepare something for the winter, where is it different? But she couldn't just run away like this, lest she be told that she was restless, which would be bad for her reputation. Well, let's do our homework first. Since it's the Queen Mother's order, you must get the order with the Queen Mother's seal on it. After thinking about all this, Ananda also had to consider what her prince was thinking. Besides, if he didn't like his wife being clingy, and even ran all the way to find him, wouldn't she be a disaster? So you have to have a file Wrigley.

So, after Ananda thought about it, when the queen mother was waiting for Ananda to figure it out, she smiled shyly at the queen mother, and first expressed that she was willing to go to Tongcheng to serve the prince. This is her duty, and she is obliged . After expressing his loyalty, Ananda looked at the Queen Mother eagerly, and honestly asked the Queen Mother for a copy of the imperial edict with the Queen Mother's seal.

Ananda's reason is very good: "My mother, my daughter-in-law heard that Tongcheng is a border town, the people there are tough, and the people are straightforward, and they can speak directly if they have anything to say. Although there is no malice, but the daughter-in-law went directly like this. It's still not very good, it will make people laugh. Well, you see, you can draw up an order for your daughter-in-law. If your daughter-in-law can go with your seal, those people will definitely say "daughter-in-law" for your mother's sake. She is a virtuous and filial person, and the daughter-in-law feels more at ease."

The empress dowager's face twitched, what's the matter with you being virtuous and filial to Guan Ai's family? ! The queen mother understood that this daughter-in-law's head is not something normal people can understand! Besides, this daughter-in-law is leaving, do you want to get angry with her

But this is not a big deal, and with a wave of his back hand, he asked the palace servants to draw up a decree with her seal on it and gave it to Ananda.

Ananda took it happily, and thanked the Queen Mother sincerely, holding the decree as if holding a family heirloom. Seeing it, the Queen Mother felt a little better, and felt that Ananda was not so obtrusive.

*****

According to the queen mother's will, Ananda will leave for Tongcheng in two days, so her luggage must be packed in these two days. Maybe I didn't come back until years ago, so there are really a lot of things to pack.

When Ananda was nestling in the palace and instructing the maids to pack her luggage, her prime minister's father jumped over like a rabbit with his butt on fire.

This time, Prime Minister Lu really felt his ass was on fire.

Ever since Prime Minister Lu heard that the Queen Mother ordered Concubine Su to pack her luggage and go to Tongcheng to follow her husband to guard the border town, his heart has been lifted. Especially when I heard that people in the capital were joking that Princess Su might not be able to withstand the severe cold weather in Tongcheng, and maybe this time she would really be "broken" to death. For this reason, there are still many people who are too idle to go to the gambling shop to start a jam, betting that Princess Su will never survive this winter, hey, let alone, those guys who have so much money that they can lose money really go Bets are placed.

Prime Minister Lu almost lost his temper when he heard that, he really wanted to take someone to copy those gambling houses directly, no matter which royal family member your behind-the-scenes boss is. Dare to bet on his daughter, it's f*cking that he doesn't want to live! ! For this reason, Prime Minister Lu paid a rare heartfelt greeting to the eighteenth generation female members of the boss's family in the gambling shop.

"Ananda, why did you provoke the Queen Mother, and even sent you to suffer in the cold places like Tongcheng..." Prime Minister Lu's beard turned gray, and he was very worried about Ananda.

People who have never been to the frontier regard the frontier as a barren land, where warriors are stationed, and literati and women with such weak bodies can only wait for death if they go there.

Regarding Prime Minister Lu's words, Ananda said honestly and shyly: "The queen mother hopes that her daughter will go to Tongcheng to accompany the prince. It would be even better if she can give birth to a grandson for her, otherwise the queen mother will point out a concubine to the prince." Ananda has another worry. If she doesn't go, the Queen Mother will send another woman to go. It's better for her to go by herself. She is afraid that there will be another woman that Chu Baning is willing to touch, and she will cry. It was too late.

"..."

Prime Minister Lu turned his face away, with a full face: Tat, Ananda, you can't be so honest~ This daughter is really worrying!

The queen mother's reason was so cruel that Prime Minister Lu was blocked for life.

This was ordered by the queen mother. As a daughter-in-law, Ananda could not disobey her mother-in-law's words, so the trip to Tongcheng was a certainty. Prime Minister Lu had no choice but to accept the fact with a sigh, and then secretly took a brocade box to Ananda, saying: "Ananda, you put this thing away, maybe it will come in handy in the future... Ah, Of course, it would be better if it doesn’t come in handy.”

Ananda took it in doubt, opened it and saw that it was a ginseng that was hundreds of years old.

Ananda immediately stuffed it back to Prime Minister Lu, and said, "Daddy, I don't want this thing! You can keep it for yourself. My daughter has a better one here. It was given to the prince and his daughter by Mrs. Wen when they came back last time for their wedding." Gift."

"Master Wen?" Prime Minister Lu looked surprised, and then he remembered something, and his face turned green again: "The Lord Wen you are talking about is Wen Liang, the youngest son of Duke Zhen, right?"

Ananda nodded, looking at her father's face strangely, wondering what his expression meant.

Prime Minister Lu's beard trembled, and he hesitated to speak to Ananda, but finally he couldn't hold back his old face and told his daughter that he actually suspected that Wen Liang was a man who broke his sleeves and divided his peaches, and half of King Su's reputation was ruined by him. She had better be on guard, she must resolutely refuse that gentle man to appear within a hundred meters of the lord, lest her son-in-law be hooked up by a man, and then her daughter will become a widow? But this kind of thing should be told by the mother to the daughter. As a father, he can't say it.

Ananda and Prime Minister Lu talked for a while, but it was Prime Minister Lu who told Ananda a lot, and Ananda responded one by one. Seeing that Prime Minister Lu was worried, she promised and promised, Lu The prime minister was still worried, and finally left worried. Of course, the ginseng Ananda was also taken away by Prime Minister Lu.

Ginseng is a precious thing no matter what era it is. As for Prime Minister Lu's behavior, although she was heartbroken and moved, if the prime minister's wife knew about it, she might feel uncomfortable. So Ananda was determined not to want it, she didn't want to make it difficult for Prime Minister Lu.

After sending Prime Minister Lu away, Ananda continued to pack his things.

After Ru Cui learned that Ananda was going to Tongcheng, she was even more excited than Ananda, especially enthusiastically helping the nuns to pack Ananda's luggage. Anan looked at Ru Cui's things in the luggage, and her face was very strange. This girl stuffed all the strange things into the luggage, and she didn't know what was going on in her head. But Ananda saw that the luggage could be put down, so he didn't take it out.

Compared to Rucui's joy, Rulan's expression is worried. Ever since she knew that Ananda was sent to Tongcheng under the strong decree of the Queen Mother, this loyal maid worried about many things. She felt that the Queen Mother must be making things difficult for Ananda, and she was still aggrieved for a long time. Seeing Ru Lan's excited face at this moment, she couldn't help asking a little strangely: "I don't know how hard it is to be in such a bitter cold place like Tongcheng. The princess was spoiled and spoiled since she was a child, so I don't know if I can get used to it? We are going to suffer. , what coke do you have?"

Rucui said with a smile while packing her luggage: "Sister Rulan, what you said is wrong! Even though Tongcheng is a place of bitter cold, I believe that as long as the prince is there, nothing will be a problem! I believe that the lady also wants to be with the prince. Let's go together~~ Also, I heard that the women in the border towns are all tough and brave. What kind of fierce woman outside has taken a fancy to our prince, and the lady is not here. What should I do if the prince is taken advantage of by them? Or should the lady go there? It’s more reassuring to guard.”

"..."

Ru Lan turned her face away, and said in her heart: Sure enough, she is a dick, and her brain waves are indeed different from normal people. Can someone take advantage of Wang Ye's cleanliness

Two days later in the morning, Ananda took Rucui Rulan and several nuns, escorted by the Ouchi guards sent by Emperor Chongde, and set off for Tongcheng to find her husband thousands of miles away.

Ananda sat in the carriage, raised the curtains and watched the ancient city gates of the capital slowly disappear into the distance, feeling excited in his heart.

After being reborn more than ten years ago, she was finally able to leave the capital to have a look outside.
