Chapter 24: Grandma's attention, but also listless!
Nanny Qin paused the comb in her hand and asked, "This... Queen Mother, how dare you raise your eyebrows?"
The Queen Mother glanced at her: "I don't know you yet? Stop pretending in front of me and tell me."
"It's true that nothing can escape your eyes." Nanny Qin said with a helpless smile.
She said: "The girls who can enter the palace are all the only girls in a hundred, so there is no need to say anything. Little Master Li is good at everything else, but he is a little fragile in his heart and cannot be attacked, I'm afraid..."
After clicking here, Nanny Qin stopped talking, lowered her eyes and combed her hair carefully.
But the Queen Mother understood it and said: "I'm afraid I won't be able to pass the emperor's test!"
If you can't bear this little blow, how can you bear the grace? The Queen Mother couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
Seeing her frown, Grandma Qin quickly put down the comb, rubbed the acupuncture points on her head with her hands, and continued: "And Little Master Wu, before I met anyone, I heard an interesting story about her.
"
The Queen Mother felt a little lonely. What she cared about was whether this show girl could change the current situation of the harem. As for other things, it didn't matter much.
With a feeling of having nothing to do, the Queen Mother half-closed her eyes and said, "Tell me and listen."
Aunt Qin started talking: "Last night, I heard someone came to report that there was a suspicious person, claiming to be an old nanny in the palace, so I went to ask about the situation. When I saw this nanny, she looked very strange, but the palace card and clothes
They are all from the palace. If they are fake, they will be brought over and asked, guess what?"
She gave it a try, and without waiting for the Queen Mother to ask, she said directly: "When I asked, I found out that it was Grandma Sun who was sent to teach the young master Wu. In just ten days, she was so thin that she lost her appearance.
It’s almost unrecognizable…”
Having said this, Nanny Qin smiled unkindly and told her about her encounter with Nanny Sun.
The scene last night was really funny. Grandma Sun had lost a layer of weight and the palace clothes she was wearing were empty. This made the eunuch guarding the palace gate suspicious, so he called her over.
"After recognizing her, the slave girl was shocked, but she hadn't seen her for more than ten days, so how could she be so thin? She originally wanted to hide it from the slave girl and refused to tell her. She only agreed to tell the story after the slave girl pressed her repeatedly.
The origin.”
Nanny Qin spoke vividly, telling the story of Nanny Sun being almost driven crazy by Lihua.
The Queen Mother laughed immediately: "You old man, are you just making things up to make me laugh? How can a young and talented young lady be driven crazy by the principles of a seasoned nun?"
The Queen Mother is someone who has come before. The nun who taught her the etiquette before she entered the palace was extremely strict. Even if she did a good job, she rarely had a smile on her face.
Although it doesn't seem like much in retrospect, the Queen Mother was really worried at the time, fearing that she would not be satisfied with what she had done.
So when Nanny Qin said this, the Queen Mother's first reaction was that she didn't believe it.
Grandma Qin massaged the acupoints skillfully and said with a smile: "I don't dare to deceive you. If you don't believe me, just call Grandma Sun here and take a look. She looks haggard and pitiful."
The Queen Mother opened her eyes and her smile gradually faded: "Could it be that Wu Xiunu treated her harshly?"
If that's the case, then there's something wrong with his character, and she doesn't like such a person.
The strength of Nanny Qin's hand did not change, and she quickly said: "No, this is the strange thing..."
Grandma Sun told her how difficult the job was and how miserable she was.
Aunt Qin thought that Wu Mansion had wronged the people in the palace, so she became cold-faced and said that she would make the decision for her. However, Aunt Sun refused again and could not be persuaded no matter how hard she tried. She even said a lot of nice words and words.
I tried my best to protect myself, but I was afraid that Nanny Qin would cause trouble for Wu Li.
She told the story and recalled it carefully: "The slave looked at her description, and every sentence came from the heart, not like a lie. Later, after careful questioning by the slave, she was willing to tell the truth. It turns out that the Wu family treated her well.
, providing good food and drink, asking for warmth every day, and being considerate and attentive to everything."
The Queen Mother didn't understand, so she interjected and asked: "Then why is the clearing reduced so much?"
Aunt Qin let out an "ooh" and said, "That's a lot of hard work. This old guy, when he got a compliment from you, he kept his face and didn't think about making progress. He always used your words to talk about things, so he was too lazy. This time
Well, I’m not good at studying. If Master Wu wants to learn more, she won’t be able to handle it anymore. It’s time for someone to take care of her.”
The Queen Mother burst into laughter, not expecting this to be the reason.
However, she finally felt that it was a bit exaggerated, but she did not continue to investigate further. She just thought it was Grandma Sun's problem.
Grandma Qin continued: "I have been observing Master Wu for a whole day today, and I see that he is a smart and kind master. The most rare thing is that he is open-minded and extremely resilient."
"Let's take the case of Xiu Nu being punished. Xiaozhu Wu made it clear beforehand so that the others would not be punished, but no one believed her, so what could she do? Faced with Xiu Nu's criticism afterwards, she also
If you don’t take it to heart, you will feel a little worried, and you will see it clearly when you look at it.”
The Queen Mother nodded in agreement: "Sounds like a good boy."
Nanny Qin originally wanted to use Nanny Sun and what happened on Jinxiutai to draw out the differences between Lihua, but after hearing the Queen Mother's words, she had no choice but to hold back her recommendation.
When people in the palace speak, listen carefully.
The words "sounds like" clearly express the Queen Mother's attitude: she still doesn't think highly of Lihua, and even if she wins against Li Ruoyi, it doesn't matter to her.
When asked what Nanny Qin thought of the two of them earlier, the Queen Mother also paid more attention to Li Ruoyi rather than Lihua.
Nanny Qin sighed slightly in her heart. She could understand the Queen Mother's mood. After all, who had not seen the scene on the Splendid Stage with her own eyes, so who could believe it.
She no longer talked about the topic of pear blossoms, but brought up something: "The Queen Mother, today on the brocade stage, I saw the young eunuch of Cangchen Palace."
The Queen Mother stood up in shock: "What?"
…
Cangchen Hall, bedtime.
Zhang Defa looked at the emperor who was confused and took advantage of the moment of changing clothes to mention something he had been holding back for a whole day: "Long live my lord, this beautiful girl who is late today must be taught a lesson in rules."
Yuchi Gong was thinking about political affairs and was not interested in what he mentioned. He didn't even look at him, but he was too lazy to stop him.
This has been the case since summoning Wu Dingbang.
Zhang De had no choice but to talk to himself while changing his clothes:
"It's also strange. Twenty or so show girls were all late. Only one show girl was on time and arrived very early. Later, the servant went to inquire and found out that there was an accident. The imperial city gate was blocked, and there would be a large number of arrivals.
The beautiful ladies are blocked outside..."
This is the genius of Eunuch Zhang.
The words seemed verbose, but they not only explained the reasons for the blockage of the palace road, fulfilled their duties, but also secretly mentioned the pear blossoms.
If the emperor is not interested, he will not mention it again after that.
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Yu Chigong stopped his thoughts and recalled a figure in his mind: "But the one standing under the pear tree?"
Zhang Defa was delighted. Most people would not be able to understand what the emperor was asking, but he was someone who had been by the emperor's side for many years.
He knew that the emperor only cared about what he cared about and ignored the rest. The beautiful lady he mentioned casually had obviously attracted attention.
He hurriedly said: "Exactly, the young master's surname is Wu, and she is the daughter of Wu Zhen, a sixth-grade member of the Ministry of Industry. Speaking of which, this show girl is so talented that even Li Xiunv, who has a reputation as a model of etiquette, has won. , so that the other show girls were severely punished."
"Continue!" Yu Chigong didn't know any bullshit etiquette models. The etiquette models themselves were nonsense, but it didn't stop him from enjoying the fun.
Zhang Defa quickly and eagerly explained the cause and effect without wasting his time, and soon the clothes were almost finished.
Yuchi Gong's stern face softened and he snorted softly: "It's bad to try to please others by grandstanding!"
Others couldn't see the beauty's way, but he could see it clearly, but it was not easy to do so.
There was some appreciation in his eyes, but he still said: "Since it is an ancient ritual abolished by Queen Shengde, and why it is used, I think she will be punished for the crime of disrespect." This chapter has been completed!
