At night, she was having dinner when the queen suddenly sent a female official to come and start scolding her, saying that she had evil intentions and cursed the monarch with utensils? ?
What did she curse?
In the end, she was asked to kneel down and copy Buddhist scriptures to reflect on her mistakes? ? This is like "I'm going to punish you" written all over her face, right?
Are all the methods used in palace fighting these days so simple and crude?
Tang Shiyue received the order. The female official had a deadpan look on her face and kept staring at her copying. When Linlang put down the mat, the female official kicked it and said coldly, "Please reflect on your mistakes, Madam!"
Tang Shiyue's expression turned cold.
Linlang stopped her and told Weixin to put the cushion down. She said coldly, "Master Si Zheng, please forgive me when you can... I have to do what the master asks me to do, but there are masters above the master! The emperor knows everything."
The female official's expression changed slightly: "I am just following orders. I'm sorry, Madam."
Linlang smiled and said, "It's okay for our master to kneel for a while, and he doesn't dare to bear a grudge against the Queen, but if you show mercy, the master will naturally remember your kindness."
Tang Shiyue listened silently to the confrontation between the two men.
...
...
Linlang said: The Queen has to listen to the Emperor! The Emperor will not do anything to our Master because of this crime!
What the female official meant was, I don't mean to make things difficult for your master, but I dare not disobey the Queen's order!
Linlang said, you have to choose one of these two. How can you offend both of them? If you want our master to not punish you, you will risk offending the queen.
But in the end, the female official still chose the queen...
She said, "The Lady of the County cursed the monarch, and her crime is punishable by death. The Queen also asked the Queen Mother for permission! Just asking the Master to kneel and copy the scriptures is already a special favor. Please don't be ungrateful, Lady of the County!"
become!
Tang Shiyue simply knelt on the ground and had only copied half of the scripture when Gu Jiuxing came hurriedly. He was an old man, sweating profusely from running, and said anxiously, "Hurry up and help the county lady up!"
He shouted at the Dragon Guards: "Come here, arrest this cunning slave who is falsely conveying the imperial edict!"
The female official's face turned pale immediately, and her legs went limp when she was dragged away.
This crime will definitely make her die. To be honest, she is innocent, but someone has to take the blame. The queen cannot punish her easily, and the only unlucky ones are the servants.
This society is truly horrible.
Tang Shiyue was helped up, looking confused: "Manager Gu, what on earth is going on?"
Gu Jiuxing whispered, "Your Highness, please bring a pendulum clock into the palace." He emphasized the word "clock" and said, "The Queen has latched onto this word."
Tang Shiyue suddenly realized...
Sending the bell to the end? ?
This is really the case, if you want to accuse someone of a crime, you can always find a pretext!
However, this matter is not over yet.
It was not until the next day that the Imperial Concubine sent her eunuch Xiao Luzi to tell her what had happened.
It is said that the Queen somehow got the news that she had sent a pendulum clock into the palace. When the Emperor was in a meeting, he boasted about it to his courtiers, saying that the clock could replace a clepsydra.
The Queen then suggested to the Queen Mother that the purpose of sending a pendulum "clock" was unclear.
The Queen Mother was old and was very sensitive about these things, so she nodded and said that the name was indeed inappropriate.
In fact, the Queen Mother wanted to change the name. As a result, the Queen took advantage of this and sent a female official in the name of the Queen Mother.
When Ding Xiaoyan saw that Linlang couldn't speak, he hurried into the palace to ask for help. Emperor Ming Yan got angry when he heard it and immediately sent Gu Jiuxing over.
In fact, this matter has gone in two directions.
Before Ding Xiaoyan entered the palace, Gu Jiuxing had already received the news, but because the emperor was busy discussing matters, he did not go in to report it.
When Ding Xiaoyan arrived, the emperor happened to see him. When he asked about it, Emperor Ming Yan immediately got angry and sent Ding Xiaoyan over to deal with the matter in a relatively simple and rough manner.
But Emperor Ming Yan did not know that the Queen's decree was issued in the name of the Empress Dowager.
The Queen did this, of course, to prevent Emperor Ming Yan from getting angry, but since he had already gotten angry, it seemed very disrespectful to the Queen Mother.
But after all, it was handled under the name of "falsely conveying the imperial decree", and the Empress Dowager did not know the details, so the mother and son only needed to explain a few words behind closed doors, and it was not impossible for them to not explain at all.
But in the end, according to the inside information of the Imperial Noble Consort, Emperor Ming Yan went to the Empress Dowager to explain, and the Empress Dowager persuaded him not to be so disrespectful to the Empress. Even if the Empress did something wrong, he could handle it tactfully and save her face...
Then Emperor Ming Yan blurted out something that must have hurt the Empress Dowager's feelings.
The mother and son actually got angry.
This anger lasted for several days.
Afterwards, Emperor Ming Yan sent someone to tell her that the pendulum clock was named "Bu Shi Pan" and told her not to worry about it as it had nothing to do with her.
But Emperor Ming Yan never came, which showed that he was very angry.
Tang Shiyue's eyes were really dazzled by this follow-up.
Nowadays, giving gifts also has risks, and so many troubles have been caused out of nowhere.
Tang Shiyue was worried about Emperor Ming Yan and couldn't help but go to the palace to ask.
The anger of people like them is different from that of ordinary people.
There was no quarrel or noise, and you couldn't tell from the surface that it was not the same. They kept talking and greeting each other. Both of them were of the same mind: "If you don't say it and I don't say it, I won't admit it unless someone asks me." But the atmosphere was just not right.
The Imperial Concubine quietly told her the grudge between the Empress Dowager and the Emperor.
Anyway, you are biased, mother. I am not the one you love the most... Is that all?
The Empress Dowager's eldest son died of smallpox many years ago, and Emperor Ming Yan had a very good relationship with his brother. No one thought it was pointless to make a fuss about this at this time.
But the Empress Dowager and the Emperor were unusually childish and neither of them bowed their heads first.
Tang Shiyue thought about it, and said to the Imperial Concubine: "Don't worry, I have a way."
She asked Jun Buchang to leave the palace and bring her a mahogany box from the shelf in her study.
It was an unfinished handmade painting album. She finished the last two paintings on the Imperial Concubine's desk, dried the ink, and handed it to the Imperial Concubine: "Mother, this is the divine tool for persuading peace. Take it and use it."
When the imperial concubine took it and looked at it, she burst into laughter, gave her daughter a look that said "well done", and went to the Cining Palace.
Tang Shiyue left the palace without waiting for any follow-up.
The Imperial Concubine went to the Cining Palace and said to the Empress Dowager with a smile: "Enfu gave me something, and I think it's very interesting. I dare to bring it to you for you to see. But the Emperor might get angry if he sees it. If he blames me, you must help me stop it."
The Queen Mother was not in a good mood, but she was the Imperial Consort after all, so she had to give her some respect, so she smiled and asked, "What is it?"
The Imperial Concubine then presented it to her, a thread-bound book that was slightly larger than a palm-leaf fan.
The Queen Mother took a look and saw a few large words in strange handwriting on the cover: "My father is a god who has descended to the mortal world!"
Above the two words "God", there is a little man as big as a finger, standing majestically.
When you open it, the first thing you see is a Q-version god, in the style of Tang Guifei, chubby and very cute. But even with such a cute style, the little guy's look of looking down on everyone and his arrogance are still vividly portrayed on the paper.
