Chapter 269: Dimensionality Reduction and Suppression
The Queen Mother ordered someone to open the bead curtain and glanced at the woman standing alone in the palace.
Then even the Queen Mother had to admit that based on color alone, this woman was indeed a bit outstanding.
"My wife, Mrs. Jia Wang, pays homage to the Queen Mother."
The voice was faint, a little fearful, and a little uneasy.
She folded her hands on the ground and knocked her forehead on them, unable to stand up.
The Queen Mother nodded. This was the normal reaction of the courtiers when they saw her. Unlike Jia Lian, he actually dared to peek at her through the gap at the end of the bead curtain!
"Pingshen."
"Thank you, Queen Mother."
Wang Xifeng was also taught the basic etiquette of entering the palace to pay homage.
But after she stood up, she still didn’t know what to do.
This was the first time she met a noble person alone. Previously, in the queen's palace, there were old ladies and others watching in front of her, so she could feel at ease and be a little transparent.
"Come here."
The Queen Mother's voice was plain and full of majesty, so that Wang Xifeng did not dare to resist at all, walking along the red carpet floor Take a few steps forward.
Being so close, Wang Xifeng had the opportunity and courage to raise her head and look at the Queen Mother.
This glance naturally shocked her heart.
The Queen Mother looks so young and beautiful!
But Wang Xifeng is not Jia Lian after all, so the shock was only for a moment, and then his expression became more and more respectful.
After all, this is the most noble woman in the world, bar none. Among the people, she and the Supreme Emperor are both called "old saints".
“She really looks good.”
The Queen Mother praised her, and Wang Xifeng didn’t know how to respond.
Facing Yuanchun, her former cousin, she dared to seize the opportunity to make a joke. Facing the Queen Mother, she did not dare, so she just smiled shyly.
In this way, the Queen Mother had no intention of looking at her more, because the Queen Mother could see that she was just an ordinary member of a noble family. Apart from her gorgeous appearance, there was nothing special about her body.
Judging from the information sent to her, she is neither virtuous nor moral, and is far behind her Zhaoyang.
"Do you know why I summoned you here today?"
Wang Xifeng responded: "Please make it clear to the Queen Mother..."
"More than a month ago, I went to the prince's villa to play. The prince invited me to ride a horse and hunt, but the horse accidentally lost control.
Fortunately, Jia Lian, the second-class Zhenyuan general who was in charge of the guard at the time, Only through rescue can this palace be saved..."
When the Queen Mother said this, Wang Xifeng's eyes suddenly lit up.
It is so!
The Queen Mother's words immediately cleared up all the doubts in her heart. No wonder Yuan Chun would say that she was promoted to a noble concubine because she had no conscience.
It turns out that it was an unconscionable coincidence that saved the Queen Mother!
Who is the Queen Mother? She was the emperor's aunt, and she saved the Queen Mother. Such a contribution...Wang Xifeng didn't know how to describe it.
However, since he has made such a contribution without conscience, why not reward him directly and let cousin Yuanchun take advantage of it instead? Wang Xifeng, who was excited and happy, couldn't fully figure out the joints inside.
The Queen Mother saw the look in Wang Xifeng’s eyes, and shook her head even more in her heart, and continued:
“Jia Lian saved me, and I am kind to me.
I see this handsome young man, and I want to marry my favorite princess to him. I wonder what you think."
In the eyes of the Queen Mother, she really didn't see it. Apart from the "charming" aspects of Wang Xifeng, we only see and hear Wang Xifeng's shortcomings.
Therefore, her feelings towards Wang Xifeng were not good, and her tone was naturally not very good either.
And Wang Xifeng, who was still happy a second ago, suddenly heard the Queen Mother's words and felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.
Queen Mother, she wants to betroth the princess to a heartless person? ?
Then, what about me...
For a time, it was clear that midsummer was approaching, but Wang Xifeng felt cold all over her body. She held back tears and looked at the Queen Mother, wanting to learn from the Queen Mother's words. on her face to see if she was joking.
"Why, you don't want to?"
The Queen Mother's indifferent expression made Wang Xifeng no longer able to hold back her tears and cried in a low voice: "But, Queen Mother, my wife ...If I follow the words of the Queen Mother, how will I deal with myself..."
"This palace, and even the royal family, will give you adequate compensation."
With misty tears With Wang Xifeng's eyes closed, she could no longer see clearly the Queen Mother's indifferent expression.
Faced with the pressure of power, no matter how much hatred she felt in her heart, she did not dare to express it.
In fact, she had predicted this day, when she discovered that the heartless one was getting better and better, becoming more and more outstanding, and even made her fascinated by it.
That’s why she accommodated him like that, watching helplessly as Qingwen’s little hooves danced under her nose!
Do you really think that her Second Mistress, the Prime Minister, can hold a boat in her belly?
It’s just a way to keep Jia Lian’s heart at home.
I just didn’t expect that even though she was so careful and cautious, this day would still come.
Moreover, it arrived so quickly, it was so overwhelming!
This is the Queen Mother, who wants to betroth the emperor’s daughter to a heartless person. What can she do? Let alone her, she believed that any woman in the world would feel powerless from the inside out when faced with her current situation.
Giving in? Complete?
However, she really likes heartless people, she has liked them since she was a child, and now, she can no longer extricate herself.
The unwillingness in her heart made her cry and muster the courage to say: "But, Queen Mother, I did not make a mistake. You, you can't do this..."
As the Queen Mother, how could you help your granddaughter steal my man without knowing the truth?
The Queen Mother naturally knew that Wang Xifeng was unwilling to give in, but as a figure above the imperial power, she looked down upon the life and death of thousands of people, let alone the mentality of a cunning woman.
"You didn't make a mistake? As a woman of the Wei Dynasty, she didn't practice virtue, she didn't practice the three obediences and the four virtues. After she got married, she never taught her husband or children. She only knew how to fight for power and victory, was greedy for fame and fortune, and even You beat your own husband, how dare you say that you are right?"
The Queen Mother's question made Wang Xifeng feel aggrieved and unable to defend herself.
Because what the Queen Mother said was not to slander her out of thin air. She had obviously already visited her secretly. From this, it can be seen that this was something the Queen Mother had deliberately planned to do!
Whatever the Queen Mother planned to do, not to mention just snatching her man, it would be easy to take her life, Wang Xifeng was sure of this.
So, besides crying, she couldn't think of what to do.
The beauty of pear blossoms and rain was originally arousing pity from people. Seeing this, the Queen Mother finally felt a little bit intolerable.
But this trace of intolerance is insignificant compared to Zhaoyang’s lifelong events.
Therefore, he continued to suppress Wang Xifeng's confidence and said coldly: "Let's forget that. As the wife of a court official, she should know the law and abide by it. How dare you collude with local ruffians and do that kind of lending and harming people? , It’s a deed that can destroy families and destroy lives!!”
This moment made Wang Xifeng’s soul go away.
The already weak body suddenly collapsed on the ground, eyes full of shockHe looked at the Queen Mother in fear.
The Queen Mother even knew about this.
"No, I didn't..."
Knowing that the matter was serious, Wang Xifeng subconsciously wanted to deny it.
The Queen Mother interrupted mercilessly: "Since I told you face to face, I naturally found out your details.
Why, do you still want to have sex with me? Are you going to confront the Queen Mother in court?”
She's not that stupid.
So he said: "I don't dare, I am also deceived by others. They said that most of the noble houses in Beijing will release their spare money to earn interest. I also misunderstood. I listened to their words.
But my wife has never thought of harming anyone, and I have never harmed anyone. The people from that family and I just spend a thousand taels of silver out every month. They Pay back the principal and interest monthly, that's all..."
Wang Xifeng is a smart person, but she never expected to be hit by the Queen Mother's reduction in dimensionality.
She was unprepared and naturally couldn't organize effective words. She could only try to get away with it by assuming that everyone was doing it and it was not just me.
The law does not punish everyone, and this has been true since ancient times.
But who is the Queen Mother?
"Oh, according to what you mean, you are not the only one who lends money to the noble houses in Beijing. If I only deal with you, would it be unfair?
Tell me Come, who else in Beijing is lending money privately like you? Look at me, do you dare to catch them all and bring them to justice!"
Wang Xifeng's neck suddenly tightened. shrink.
Among the nobles in the capital, even the Prime Minister, Prime Minister, would be shocked by this name.
But, to the Queen Mother, it was nothing.
If she really dared to say that, even if the Queen Mother did not deal with her, those people would probably hate her to death. From now on, she would not be able to hang out in the elite circles in Beijing.
When you go out, you have to be careful of being plotted!
