Counterattack

Nanny Tong sighed in her heart as she looked at the queen mother who was wearing a blue monk's uniform without makeup but still as graceful as before.

"A Tong, how long will it take for us to return to the palace?" The Empress Dowager Cihui in the car raised her head and asked, her eyes were shining brightly, probably because of her long-term worship to the Buddha, her picturesque eyebrows were imbued with holiness, even though she was nearly At forty, she doesn't look old, but she looks more charming than the twenty-eight girl.

"There's still an hour left." Nanny Tong replied obediently. The master didn't know what she was thinking. They couldn't go back to this capital. If the emperor knew what happened that year, what would the empress dowager do in the palace? where?

Flying the empress dowager's silk banner, the convoy walked across the East Street and headed straight for the palace.

At the gate of the palace, Lu Mingze ordered King Jin to bring all the civil and military officials to welcome the queen mother who had been away from the palace for 19 years, but he himself remained motionless with Su Wenqing in the Ruihe Palace. He dragged him into the study, and didn't let him participate in any pick-up operation.

In his opinion, this empress dowager is really not worth picking up.

Maybe the pedantic censor would say that he is not filial, but he has a thick skin. What's more, he sent King Jin to welcome the queen mother. I don't know if the queen mother thinks his arrangement is very good?

The Empress Dowager Ci Hui looked at the familiar palace, her heart couldn't be calm for a long time.

She has been away from here for too long, and now that she is back, the blue bricks and black tiles are still there, but things are different.

Seeing that she lost her composure in a daze, Tong Yumo hurried over to support her, and walked to the officials who were kneeling at the gate of the palace.

King Jin Songchen was wearing a dark red robe today, looking even more handsome and extraordinary, with a jade-like face, but at this moment, he only focused on the woman who was slowly approaching him.

This is - mother?

His heart was sour and sweet, with mixed feelings.

Empress Dowager Cihui was also looking at him, is this his son?When she left, the child was not yet one year old, but now he is 20 years old and has grown up.

It's just... that person will never be seen again.

There was a trace of fragile sorrow and nostalgia on her face, and this posture was no less than that of Mo Xiuyi.

If it wasn't for this son, she would never want to step into this cold palace, the place where all her youth and love were buried.Empress Dowager Ci Hui thought to herself.

She had vowed never to set foot here again, but now, she has thrown herself into a trap.

Nanny Tong yelled for the Queen Mother, King Jin Songchen supported the Queen Mother to step forward with the gift of descendant, if you observe carefully, you can see that the part of the two people who are connected to each other is trembling slightly with excitement.

Soon the Empress Dowager Cihui was helped onto the steps, but she looked at the young men who returned to the team with good eyes. When will this separation of flesh and blood have a head?Her eyes were wet, and she almost shed tears again.

Hurry up, get rid of the son of a fool born to a fool, this world belongs to Chen'er!

Lu Mingze felt that the time was almost up, and then led Song Jue's little bun and Su's bodyguard, who was close to him, to the gate of the inner palace to meet the Empress Dowager. Although he was very reluctant, he had to put on a show.

The gate of the inner palace was already crowded with a group of Yingying and Yanyan, and the fragrance of makeup and powder came to the face. It was the concubine Shu who was in charge of the harem now and led a group of concubines to wait here.

Concubine Shu An Xinyi was overjoyed when she saw the emperor whom she had not seen for a long time. She didn't know what happened to the emperor in the past month, and no concubine was lucky enough to be there. She had been waiting impatiently for a long time.Mo Xiuyi still looked like a little white flower. Looking at Lu Mingze, her eyes were full of water, and she was so weak that she was really pitiful and cute. Only Yun Zhaoyi looked at the emperor holding her son, with an expression of displeasure on her face. The movement is like a mountain, but the pride in his eyes can't be concealed.

Lu Mingze looked at them as if he was watching a scourge. He watched Su Wenqing's darkened face carefully. He felt that history was repeating itself. He heard these women greet him softly, but he only felt that the end was coming.

"You all stand back." He said majestically, "Standing around me, how decent it is!" He flicked his sleeves: "Stand behind me!" Did Ah Qing see that?I'm really pure, and I don't care about them at all.The law can testify against him!

The few concubines really didn't understand why the emperor's mood changed so quickly, but no one dared to touch the emperor's bad luck. Only the little bun Song Jue was personally sent to Yun Zhaoyi by Eunuch Fu, and all the women in the harem turned towards him Yun Zhaoyi shot out bursts of lightning.

Yun Zhaoyi smiled like a good wife and loving mother, looking at Song Jue with utmost tenderness, but her eyes swept over Lu Mingze, and saw that Lu Mingze restrained himself from pulling Su Wenqing's hand, but the two still walked quickly in tacit understanding Leaving this pile of makeup and standing far in front of the harem army, Lu Mingze didn't see Yun Zhaoyi's beautiful smile that he thought he was.

Yun Zhaoyi: "..."

Bu Huo quickly walked through the outer garden of the imperial palace and arrived at the gate of the inner palace. The concubines knelt down and worshiped. Lu Mingze squeezed out a false smile that could not be faulted. Seeing this, the ministers were dissatisfied with the emperor for not coming out of the palace to greet the queen mother in person. After all, everyone knew the queen mother well, and she only had such a status.

The Empress Dowager Cihui looked at Lu Mingze unkindly, and she hated it secretly. It would be great if there was no Song Yi. If there was no Song Yi, the late emperor would not have a son. Even if he knew that Chen'er was not..., he would have to Li Chen'er is the prince.

But Lu Mingze didn't know what she was thinking, one of them asked earnestly, the other answered perfunctorily, and the ministers who hadn't retreated immediately became dissatisfied with the queen mother who had just been born out of nowhere.

Lu Mingze was very satisfied with the situation, the performances that should be performed were over, and the ministers could not enter the inner palace, so he ordered them to retreat.When everyone was gone, the Empress Dowager Ci Hui swat away Lu Mingze's pretended supporter hand like a fly, the disgust in her eyes was evident.

Lu Mingze: "..." In fact, he wanted to take off his hand first, and he also felt the shock of holding such a beautiful snake, but the queen mother was too fast, and he hadn't reacted yet.

He looked at the surprised expressions of the concubines below, and thought to himself: This queen mother seems to be the legendary pig teammate, and she doesn't even know how to pretend. In this way, he can implement the No. [-] plan.

He decided happily in his heart that since the queen mother didn't give him a good face, he didn't want to go up to him to seek abuse, so he went back to Ruihe Hall without saying a word.

The next day, various versions of "the empress dowager dislikes the emperor for no reason" and "the grievances between the aunt and the concubine" spread all over the big families in the capital, and everyone finally confirmed the discord between the emperor and the empress dowager , so I respected this noble empress dowager at a distance.

After all, in this world, the emperor still decides.

Empress Dowager Ci Hui didn't make fun of herself, and after returning to the palace, she didn't think about taking charge of the harem, but she eagerly summoned two girls into the palace.

One was Sun Yingying, the daughter of Jingyuan Hou who had just been married to King Jin as the main concubine, and the other was Qiao Ruowei who was rushing to be the side concubine of King Jin.

Although the two were baffled by the Queen Mother's sudden summons, they had to put down their dowry and come to the palace to worship the Buddha.

The meeting went smoothly, but compared to the outgoing and arrogant Sun Yingying, the Empress Dowager Cihui showed a clear preference for the side concubine Qiao.

This made the neglected Sun Yingying grit her silver teeth even more, vowing to step on Qiao Ruowei, who was laughing at Yanyan.

In addition, the impact of the empress dowager's return to the palace is like a small wave disappearing in the sea in an instant, but Lu Mingze greets the empress dowager on time every day, but the empress dowager Cihui is a person who doesn't bother to pretend, so every time Shut Lu Mingze out.

In this way, she has gained a reputation for being unkind, and Lu Mingze has also fully highlighted the advantages of filial piety, and has been praised by the Jin Dynasty.

Time flies, and another month passed in the blink of an eye, and the most watched bride in the capital—Sun Yingying got married from Jingyuan Hou's Mansion.

Sun Yingying boarded the sedan chair with a face full of shyness, but she didn't know that the road ahead was boundless, and what she was facing was a huge battlefield.

******

"Miss, why is the lord not here so late?" Sun Yingying's wet nurse Qian Shi complained dissatisfied.

"Mommy should call me Wangfei." She smiled and said angrily, and finally waited until this day, she was able to marry her beloved Brother Chen.

Moreover, she squeezed the sachet in her hand, showing a sweet and slightly bitter smile, Brother Chen, don't blame her, she has nothing to do.

She knew that Brother Chen didn't like her, and liked that hypocritical woman like Qiao Ruowei even more. Even so, Brother Chen's concubine would always be her, Sun Yingying, and no one could take her away.

Although Song Chen is the bridegroom today, he is not happy about marrying Sun Yingying, but Li Qi's analysis is also reasonable. Even though the Sun family is going downhill, the Jingyuanhou Mansion has stood for many years, and the in-law relationship is intertwined and complicated, which can be used There are still many places.

For the sake of these hidden forces, although he could snub Sun Yingying in the future, if he didn't spend the wedding night in the new house, it would be a blatant slap in the face of Jingyuanhoufu.

He dawdled outside for a while, until the night was dark and he couldn't drag it any longer, then he pretended to be drunk and went to the new house.

Seeing him stumbling, Sun Yingying hurried to help him up. At the same time, the sachet in her hand gave off a unique fragrance, making Song Chen's sanity gradually go away.

Soon, there was the sound of men and women loving each other in the room.Qian Shi stood outside the door, showing a satisfied smile.

At the same time, Qiao Ruowei sat on the bed blankly, looking at the moonlight outside, without sleeping all night.

Three days later, Qiao Ruowei, the prostitute's daughter, married into Prince Jin's residence. Because she was a side concubine, the scene of Qiao Ruowei's marriage was far worse than that of Sun Yingying.

Qiao Zhihe saw that his daughter was wronged and married, and couldn't even wear the red wedding dress. For a while, he almost didn't cry.

He watched his daughter's sedan chair go away, and when he got home, he couldn't get sick.

Qiao Ruowei married into Prince Jin's mansion full of longing, thinking that she had sacrificed so much, as long as Song Chen treated her well, any grievances would be worth it.Even if that Sun Yingying got married, she still had to stay alone.

With such thoughts in mind, she sweetly spent the wedding night with Song Chen, but the next day, when she offered tea to Sun Yingying who was aloof, the backlog of dissatisfaction was about to burst her.

However, none of these knocked her down. After all, she had already anticipated various scenes before, but when Sun Yingying proudly showed her her wedding night with Song Chen, she looked at the silent Song in disbelief. Chen.

"You and her..." She only felt a rush of anger rushing to her chest.Didn't it mean that Sun Yingying was just a decoration, and he would only have her as a woman?

Song Chen didn't refute it. For a man, once he did this kind of thing, he couldn't deny it. He only blamed Sun Yingying for being unrestrained. He had promised him not to say anything, but it was exposed on the first day. .

He felt that there was no way to face Qiao Ruowei, so he had to lower his head slightly, not to look at her.

However, Qiao Ruowei felt that her heart ached. She knew Song Chen, and he was obviously guilty with his appearance!

What about Song Chen who told himself that they would be a couple forever?What about Song Chen who broke into the palace for himself?How could this man, who had supported all his beliefs since his rebirth, betray him so suddenly and naturally!

Qiao Ruowei only felt a burst of dizziness, and the next moment, she didn't know anything.
