Chapter 240 Showing Weakness
Cui Yuanshu did not accept the gift from the Empress Dowager, or rather, it is not the time yet.
Now she finally got into the palace to accompany the Empress Dowager, so she didn't have to pay the royalties for this little profit.
It is best to please her more, and it is best to let her get used to her existence.
And her efforts were indeed not in vain. Because of her outstanding appearance and a likable personality, she always served the Empress Dowager comfortably.
Now, even if I haven't seen each other for an hour, the Empress Dowager will ask questions and have become her new favorite.
On this day, for some reason, the Empress Dowager sent someone to the Cui family again, saying that he had heard of the good handwriting written by Cui Jiuzhen and took it to the palace to sit.
The old man was not willing to do so, but in order to let Cui Jiuzhen enter the palace, he even issued an imperial edict. Not only that, he also asked her to go every day.
"It sounds nice. I hope Zhen'er will always be with me. I don't know how to torture me!" The old man took a few slaps hatefully.
Uncle Liang also felt bitter. The Empress Dowager issued an order. Who dares to resist the order and who can resist the order?
"Old man, what should I do?"
"Let her prepare!"
The old man naturally couldn't resist the order, so he had to prepare more on the side.
Thinking of this, he went to write a letter and asked the Jinyiwei to send it to the palace.
Suddenly receiving the letter, the emperor was surprised for a moment, and then opened it and immediately became alert again.
What is the Empress Dowager going to do?
Sighing, he ordered the people around him, "Dai Yi, go to Kunning Palace to hand me a message to the queen."
"Sister obey your order!"
Dai Yi also looked worried. Last time he entered the palace, he heard that the Cui family girl had half her life.
This time, I issued an order to let Feng Jia always join him when I entered the palace, but I don’t know how to make trouble.
He took the emperor's words and quickly went to Kunning Palace.
The queen has been facing the Empress Dowager these days, and the family behind the two are the same.
I could still maintain my peace on my face, but now I don’t want to see you.
Suddenly, when he heard that the girl from the Cui family was summoned to the palace again, the emperor asked her to find a way to protect her, how could the queen refute him?
Thinking of the Empress Dowager, she immediately responded, and her son was still in the Cui family. After all, the Cui family was considered their own.
The Empress Dowager wants to find Cui Jiuzhen, isn’t that just slap her in the face?
How can this work?
After asking Cui Jiuzhen about her location, she learned that she had arrived in the palace, she immediately ordered her to go to Renshou Palace.
Cui Jiuzhen had just entered the palace now. Because of the last incident, the Empress Dowager did not let her stand outside again this time. Although she had waited for a long time, she had at least let her in.
In the hall, Cui Jiuzhen knelt down and saluted, and the Empress Dowager sat in the upper head, beside her, Cui Yuanshu, his new favorite.
She moved her eyelids slightly and lowered her hands and said, "My daughter Cui Jiuzhen, please pay tribute to the Empress Dowager, thousands of years and thousands of years."
"Get up! Give me a seat so that I will not say that the Ai family will torture you."
"My daughter dare not!" Cui Jiuzhen was frightened.
The Empress Dowager was partial. Although the Cui family did not cause any controversy, many people knew about it. After she sent someone to check it, she felt that Cui Jiuzhen was not only scheming, but also cruel in her means.
If you can kill your legitimate mother and drive your sister out of the house, you will not be involved at all. Such methods are probably rare in the palace.
It is obvious that she feels displeased from the bottom of her heart. People are biased, so she will naturally think about protecting the ones close to her and venting her anger for Cui Yuanshu.
"I heard that you have written well, and the Ai family just needs a copy of the "Avatamsaka Sutra". From then on, I went to the palace every day to copy the scriptures for the Ai family!"
Can Choi Jiuzhen refuse?
cannot!
She lowered her head and had to respond, "Missary obeys the order!"
After the words came, the eunuch's singing came from outside.
"The Empress is here!"
Cui Jiuzhen was slightly stunned. Before she could react, she saw that there was already someone coming in from the door.
He is about thirties, with fair skin and beautiful appearance and a slender figure.
There is not too much depth in my eyes, only bright and delicate.
He wore a big sleeved shirt and a robe, a robe with a robe inside, and his clothes were embroidered with gold clouds and dragon patterns. Just look at his clothes, you can tell that it is extremely expensive.
Queen Zhang walked in and bowed. The Queen Mother ignored her with a cold face. She didn't mind, but instead sat down beside her.
How dare Cui Yuanshu stay here? He immediately went down and knelt down to salute Cui Jiuzhen.
"Shim, see the Queen!"
"See the Queen!"
"No gift!" Queen Zhang spoke, glanced at Cui Jiuzhen, and looked at the other person, "You are Cui Yuanshu?"
Her voice was a little arrogant and had the majesty of the Tian family.
Cui Yuanshu said carefully: "Go back to the Queen, it's a folk girl."
Queen Zhang was quite disdainful and looked down upon, which made the Empress Dowager very uncomfortable.
"All up! Sit down and reply."
Upon hearing this, the queen raised her eyebrows and looked at Cui Jiuzhen, "Hmm!"
Cui Jiuzhen looked up and saw the queen stretching out her hand, but her eyes were looking at her.
He hesitated for a while, got up and walked towards her, and the palace maid also placed the stool at her feet.
Holding the queen, she then looked at Cui Jiuzhen carefully, looked at her for a while, and smiled and said, "It's really a lovely person. No wonder the emperor and the prince praised you so much. I also like it very much."
Anyone with discerning eyes knows that she is coming to make it difficult for the Empress Dowager to find her. As for whether this love is sincere, it is unknown.
Cui Jiuzhen smiled slightly and bowed her head generously, "Thank you for your praise, I am ashamed of my daughter."
Queen Zhang raised her eyebrows and smiled a little deeper.
The Empress Dowager was not willing to be outdone and asked Cui Yuanshu to sit at her feet.
"I just heard that I wanted to copy scriptures?" Queen Zhang said, but looked at the Empress Dowager. Sure enough, the latter's face darkened.
She bent the corners of her lips, "But let Miss Cui copy it?"
Cui Jiuzhen glanced at the Empress Dowager and said, "Go back to the Empress, the Empress Dowager worships the Buddha, and needs a copy of the "Bodome Duto Sutra". He is asking his daughter to come and copy it every day."
When Empress Zhang heard this, she said, "There are six hundred volumes of the "Paramanda Sutra"? It would be too tiring to let Miss Cui copy it alone."
Her eyes turned and fell on Cui Yuanshu and smiled and said, "I'm looking at it, why don't you just let this... Cui copy it together."
The Empress Dowager was not willing to do so. This was a way for her to come out to rub Cui Jiuzhen and would not be able to talk to her. How could her own people suffer as well?
"How did this happen..."
"Why can't it happen?"
Queen Zhang didn't give her face, "Does it mean that you are trying to make things difficult for a girl in the Empress Dowager? She can't copy this, but Cui can't copy it?"
The Empress Dowager had a bad face and was very disgusted with her.
"Since that's the case, Miss Cui stays with you to copy the scriptures. As for Cui, I will ask her to go to Kunning Palace to copy one for me."
"What are you messing around?" The Empress Dowager was so angry that she gritted her teeth, "I can't help but ask her to copy a scripture?"
"I just asked Cui to copy a scripture, can't I do it?"
Empress Zhang looked at the Empress Dowager unwillingly, and no one allowed him to let anyone go!
