Jinye and Yinye were chatting casually when someone knocked on the door outside. After Jinye ran to open the door, the eunuch named Wang Li stood outside the door and said loudly, "Empress Liang, lunch time is here, Empress Dowager
Please come over and have a meal together."
Zhenliang was startled, then agreed, "Okay, I'll be there right away."
It was daytime after all, and there was still half a day before night. Zhenliang put aside his unhappiness about going to bed for the time being and decided to deal with the things in front of him first.
Although she didn't want to eat with a stranger, she was the emperor's own mother, so there was no way she could refuse.
Moreover, speaking of it, the emperor's biological mother is her biological aunt, and they are closely related.
Jinye saw that Zhenliang's expression had improved, and when he thought about the rumors about the Queen Mother, he asked in surprise, "Isn't the Queen scared?"
Zhenliang looked at Jinye in confusion and smiled slightly, "It's just a meal with my own aunt, what's there to be afraid of?"
Yin Ye, who was behind, bumped Jin Ye hard with her elbow and said angrily, "Fool, have you forgotten that I have lost my memory?"
Jinye suddenly understood, stuck out his tongue, and quickly lowered his voice to explain to Zhenliang in a low voice.
"The True Aunt and the Queen Mother are 60 to 70 percent similar in appearance, but their temperaments are completely different. The True Aunt looks cold, but is actually kind-hearted. As for the Queen Mother, it is said that if she wants to kill someone, it is like trampling an ant to death.
Harsh to the point of disowning her relatives. Therefore, although the Queen Mother is the empress’s biological aunt, the empress must not be careless when facing her, lest she offends her and is not good for the empress. Remember this."
Zhenliang followed Jin Ye's example and stuck out her tongue, stroking her chest and pretending to be scared, "What should I do? I'm so scared. Can I not go?"
Jin Ye chuckled, "Your Majesty, you are so evil."
Zhenliang raised his hand to Jinye and said mischievously, "Thank you for the compliment, beauty."
For a moment, both Gold Leaf and Silver Leaf giggled. They discovered that since the young lady lost her memory, she not only has a lively side, but also an evil and funny side. She seems to be getting more and more cute and interesting.
Maybe it wasn't that the previous lady wasn't cute enough or interesting enough, but that she fell in love with Wen Zhengming, who was not worthy of love, and thus hid her shine.
Suddenly, Zhenliang thought of a serious problem and quickly asked Tongye and Tieye to come over and asked them to quickly teach her some basic court etiquette, such as how to salute when seeing the Queen Mother. She felt that she had to make up for it, otherwise
Even if the Queen Mother thinks of her as her niece, she will still make a fool of herself in front of others.
Tongye and Tieye were both extremely surprised that Zhenliang didn't understand etiquette. Jinye and Yinye explained to them that it was because the empress had lost her memory. When Tongye and Tieye heard this, they turned to Zhenliang.
He lost his sympathetic look, which made Zhenliang dumbfounded, and blamed the two girls for talking too much.
On the way to Cining Palace, Tongye and Tieye led the way, while Zhenliang, Jinye, and Yinye walked behind, talking and laughing, but gradually, they discovered something was wrong.
If they didn't meet anyone else on the way, everything would seem normal, but once a palace maid or a eunuch came towards them and saw them, their previously peaceful faces would turn pale with fright, and some would even take an exaggerated step back, as if the coward had seen a ghost.
Some would turn back the way they came, completely ignoring etiquette, while those who knew better would give a simple salute to Zhenliang from a distance, and then change their route and sprint away.
The cups and plates clattered to the ground, and the eunuchs and maids fell down in fear, and even trembled all over...
This sight is so strange.
Zhenliang subconsciously stretched out her hands and touched her face. The scarf on her face was tightly worn and not transparent. Her face was not exposed at all. Why should they be afraid? Besides, even if she was exposed,
Face, it wouldn't scare them into that situation, at most it would just make them amazed.
She couldn't help but wonder, could it be that before she entered the palace, rumors about her had been spread in the palace, saying that she was a demon fox, a devil or something like that, and anyone who saw it would suffer eight lifetimes of bad luck?
The four people in Jin Ye had already discovered this strange scene. Although they were full of doubts in their hearts, they could only pretend not to see it. They didn't think the empress was scary, but they couldn't guarantee that others wouldn't be afraid.
Yin Ye was extremely angry and couldn't help but mutter, "Are these people sick? Their eyes are covered with pig shit?"
Jin Ye, who has always been well-behaved, couldn't help but curse, "He must be sick."
Tongye and Tieye kept winking at the palace maids and eunuchs they knew, telling them not to treat Concubine Liang so rudely. However, those palace maids and eunuchs had no time to look at their faces, as if they only needed to see them behind them.
Liang Fei was so frightened that they peed their pants.
Zhenliang smiled indifferently, thought for a while and said, "Tongye, Tieye, I'll go find out later, why are they so afraid of me? There has to be an explanation, tell me when the time comes."
The copper leaves and iron leaves responded together, "Yes."
Zhenliang never thought that she was a scary person, but now that she saw so many people being afraid of her, she couldn't help but have an idea in her mind. If everyone in the palace was afraid of her as a devil, wouldn't it be a good thing? At least it would be a good thing.
They will keep a distance from her, avoid provoking her, or even plot against her.
But this idea was quickly rejected by her. At most, she could try her best to make people feel disgusted, but she had no ability to make others fear her, because she understood that to make others fear her own methods, I am afraid that they are inseparable from cruelty and bloodshed.
relationship, and as a civilized person, she would never do anything like murder and arson, nor would she even bother to do it.
For some people, it is easier to be a good person than a bad person, and for some people, it is easier to be a bad person than a good person. There is no general conclusion, and she is really cool. Although she wants to be evil from time to time, she is evil-
Evil and causing evil are also based on not harming others as much as possible.
When they stepped into Cining Palace, the scene that Zhenliang and her party faced was similar to what they had encountered on the road before, causing those who saw her to be so frightened that they couldn't help but step back.
However, the servants of Cining Palace did not want to run away. After the ceremony, they gathered in a corner as if avoiding snakes and scorpions, with great fear in their eyes.
Yinye was already irritable, and now he was following Zhenliang, cursing and muttering in a low voice: "A dog's eyes look down on people, a dog's eyes look down on people..."
No matter why those people are so afraid of her, Zhenliang can see it very clearly, and even have a relaxed and easy-going smile on her face, but if she is disliked by others in this way, she doesn't care at all
She doesn't mind, it's definitely impossible, it's just that she won't show her discomfort to others.
Judging people by their appearance, or judging them by what they hear, is a common phenomenon no matter what era it is. In this new world, although there are only a handful of people who can really not dislike her, her heart is because of those few.
There are only a handful of people and I feel warm.
When she first arrived, she didn't expect everyone who met her to like her or appreciate her, but she also firmly believed that there would be lovely people like gold and silver leaves in this world who would come to her.
Maybe not long after, she can meet a man who doesn't care about her appearance, treats her like a treasure, and is willing to join hands with her for the rest of her life.
Thinking of this, Zhenliang was shocked by her own thoughts. She actually had the idea of finding a life partner here.
She bit her lip and asked herself secretly, Zeng Liang, Zeng Liang, have you forgotten Fang Lin? Don't you want to marry Fang Lin? Don't you plan to return to modern times?
As long as she finds Xiangjun as soon as possible, Maodou can help her return to modern times and even help her marry Fang Lin.
She believed in the promise Maodou made to her, so she remembered Xiangjun's whereabouts.
However, once she cannot find Xiangjun, she may stay here forever until she dies.
If she stays here, even if she meets the man she likes, can Maodou let her go and fulfill her happiness?
The answer is of course no.
"Concubine Liang has arrived."
The eunuch's sharp voice interrupted Zhenliang's thoughts and made the rather chaotic scene calm down a little.
Before stepping into the threshold of the main hall, Zhenliang had already seen from a distance the almost full women sitting around the round table. He glanced at them, and they all had beautiful faces and bright clothes. Compared with her appearance and clothes, they seemed to be two
level people.
It's not that the palace clothes Zhenliang is wearing are inferior to those women, but that the palace clothes she is wearing are more plain in color and style.
The clothes belonging to Zhenliang in Qiongyu Palace were all prepared before she came. The outfit she wore today was chosen by Jinye and Yinye after discussion, because they knew that Zhenliang liked plain clothes and hated those brightly colored ones.
complicated.
At this point, Zhenliang and the former Yuchi Zhenliang have the same taste, and they both prefer plain and simple clothes.
The smiling middle-aged woman sitting on the main seat seemed to have been suddenly blown away by the wind when she caught a glimpse of Zhenliang's figure, and disappeared without a trace.
Zhenliang's heart suddenly sank. The Queen Mother's change of attitude from sunny to gloomy was obviously because of herself. Everyone said that sisters have a deep love. Since she is Zhenyi's biological sister, why does she not seem to have any feelings for her biological sister's children?
According to human nature, even if she has never seen her biological sister's child, she should smile like a biological aunt when they meet her for the first time, right?
Could it be that there is something going on between her and her real aunt?
Such a conjecture was immediately denied by Zhenliang. If Zhenyi had a problem with her sister, how could she push her daughter into the palace? Isn't this asking for trouble? No matter how cruel Zhenyi is, she would not let her own daughter give up.
Your sister was bullied, right?
Or maybe the true aunt wants her daughter to be the number one in the emperor's heart and make the queen mother angry to death?
Well, Zhenliang stood outside the door in a daze, and suddenly shuddered. She realized that she had too much imagination and thought too much randomly. She thought that things that were fictitious were made as if they were real.
