Queen Mother Rong's face was full of disbelief. How suspicious was the emperor? Even Fang couldn't believe it?
Ming Zhao frowned: "It's not that I'm suspicious, but Fang... there are indeed many doubts."
Queen Mother Rong said quickly: "Don't the emperor trust Fang Qingru very much? The Fang family has always been strict in upbringing. Since Fang entered the palace, she has always been virtuous and decent, and she has a deep love for the Wen sisters. How could she harm her own cousin? Such kind of
I’m afraid even Mrs. Wen herself doesn’t believe it!”
At this moment, Wen Xiaotu, who was painting red in Yanqing Hall, suddenly felt her nose itchy. She blew her nose with a handkerchief and glanced at the dusk outside the west window. It was already evening.
Bi Lian walked in with a smile, "Talent, the Yi Nian Palace has sent word to the Sixth Palace that tonight's palace banquet has been cancelled!"
Wen Xiaotu smiled and said: "The palace banquet has been cancelled. Why are you so happy?"
Bilian giggled and said: "The palace banquet is cancelled, and some people's work has been in vain. Isn't it funny?"
Hongguo came up with jasmine tea. She glared at Bilian, "If you are still like this after leaving Yanqingtang, you will be rewarded!"
Bi Lian was just a fifteen-year-old girl with a childish look on her face. She stuck out her tongue and said, "I'm not stupid. I only say this in front of talented people. When I leave the house, I am like a gourd with my mouth cut off."
.”
Wen Xiaotu couldn't help but sigh, what a wonderful two personal palace ladies, why did the original owner just have a sudden thought and give them the name Red Fruit and Bilian? Forget the red fruit, Bilian is too...
"I said Bilian..." After calling this name, Wen Xiaotu felt inexplicably guilty and panicked, "You are so loyal, how about I change your name to Bixin?"
It’s so sweet~ It sounds so considerate.
The little girl Bi Xin, whose name was changed again, looked confused and said, "Thank you so much for the name."
At this time, the eunuch Xiao Yuanbao walked in with a food box, "Cai Ren, on the way back, I saw Fang Jieyu going to the Yi Nian Palace on a shoulder carriage."
Bi Xin looked puzzled: "Isn't the palace banquet cancelled?"
Wen Xiaotu narrowed her eyes. Yes, even she knew that the palace banquet was cancelled. Fang Jieyu could not have known it. The only possibility was that the Queen Mother or the Emperor summoned Fang Jieyu.
Suddenly, the eunuch Xiao Qianzi ran in quickly and said, "Cai Ren, Eunuch Chen from the Queen Mother's Palace has come to summon you. Please go to the Yi Nian Palace immediately."
Wen Xiaotu thought to himself, it seems that he wants to deal with her disfigurement.
This Emperor Tianze must be a little too impatient. He has just returned to the palace! He didn't even hold a palace banquet, but just started to deal with jealousy in the harem.
Cursing inwardly, she looked at the dinner she had just brought and her face was a little bitter. She hadn't eaten dinner yet...
The Queen Mother summons, who dares to delay?
Hongguo immediately took out a thick satin cloak and put it on her, and then he waited for her to go to the Yinian Palace.
Wen Xiaotu did not have a higher status than Fang Jieyu, but there was no one to carry her, so she could only walk with a pair of hooves. In addition, it was too late to send the letter, so even if she rushed all the way, she was still far behind Fang Jieyu.
A quarter of an hour.
Dusk has fallen, and the Yinian Hall has been lit.
Wen Xiaotu glanced at the nervous Hong Guo Bi Xin. She straightened the veil on her face and whispered, "Just wait outside."
Then he followed Eunuch Chen into the main hall of Yinian Palace.
When we first entered the palace, the original owner Wen Cairen was a frequent visitor here. The Yinian Hall was majestic and magnificent, with rows of bright octagonal glazed palace lanterns hanging high, illuminating the hall very brightly.
Sitting on the armchair of Danfeng Chaoyang is the Empress Dowager Rong, who looks a little tired. Standing beside the Empress Dowager, wearing a brand-new concubine's red furrow coat with gold pearl buttons and wide sleeves, the dignified and beautiful woman with cloudy temples and foggy hair is none other than Jie Yufang
. And sitting on the red sandalwood Ruyi throne next to the Queen Mother is a dark-skinned young man with sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes. Needless to say, it is Emperor Tianze. The emperor is wearing a purple-green robe with dragon patterns and a trousers on his waist.
The ruby belt buckle was as red as dove's blood under the candlelight. He was wearing such rich and luxurious clothes, but he felt inexplicably out of place.
Wen Xiaotu only took a quick glance, then quickly lowered his head and bowed respectfully, "Concubine Wen, please give your regards to the Queen Mother and your regards to the Emperor."
Being summoned in a hurry, she naturally didn't have time to dress up properly. She only wore a willow-green coat and a blue pleated skirt. Before leaving, Hongguo put on a Qingyun Chuxiu satin cloak. She looked very elegant, simply
It's just a green leaf to accompany Fang Jieyu.
When Fang Jieyu saw her, she immediately smiled and said, "My sister is finally here!"
Queen Mother Rong was slightly unhappy: "Why did you come?"
Wen Xiaotu cursed in his heart, she was far away, so she was a little slow when she sent the message, and she had no friends, so of course she would arrive later than Fang Jieyu.
Wen Xiaotu only dared to slander secretly, but her face became more and more submissive. She lowered her head and knelt down: "I am late, please forgive me, Queen Mother."
The Yi Nian Hall is filled with the scent of Canaanite incense all year round, which is gentle and distant. Although Queen Mother Rong is not yet fifty, her health has never been good, so she worships Buddha all the year round, and her temperament is quite honest.
Looking at Wen's veiled face, the smoky pink veil was light and thin, covering most of her face, but there were still brown spots at the ends of her eyes that could not be covered. Queen Mother Rong couldn't help but feel regretful, and waved her hand: "That's all."
Queen Mother Rong glanced at the emperor on the throne next to her. The emperor had just spoken and wanted to summon the two parties involved, Fang and Wen, for questioning, but she didn't know what the emperor wanted to ask. This matter had obviously been investigated clearly...
Emperor Mingzhao sneered in his heart, what he found out was just superficial.
The fifth brother and the queen mother respectively sent letters home to tell each other about the cause and effect of this incident. The contents were almost the same, but the fifth brother only stated the cause without comment, while the queen mother's letter home... was written in a lengthy and convoluted manner.
Many of them are just that the Helan family is arrogant and domineering, cruel and vicious. The evidence is conclusive, but the Fang family has survived, and the Wen family is just a fish in the pond.
This matter was originally suspicious to Fang, but considering Fang Qingru's upright character and the Fang family's upbringing, Emperor Ming Zhao did not dare to make a decision directly, so he summoned the person involved.
Empress Dowager Rong said: "Although the Helan family has been making excuses for this matter, the Ai family has already found physical evidence and interrogated the palace people around the Helan family, and there are already witnesses. What doubts does the emperor have about this?"
"
The emperor clearly had an indifferent face, and there seemed to be sharp knives hidden in his eyes. He glanced at Jieyu Fang, who was standing beside the Queen Mother, and said, "The two boxes of rouge given to you by common people Helan have been tampered with."
, did you really not know beforehand?"
Wen Xiaotu was confused: Helan commoner? When did Helan Jieyu become a commoner?
Fang Jieyu's face suddenly turned pale. She tried to calm down, gathered her clothes and knelt down, "On that day, the common people of Helan were ordered by the Queen Mother to apologize to me. How could I have imagined that she was actually apologizing?"
There was poinsettia in the rouge?"
Empress Dowager Rong also said: "Since Helan entered the palace, she has been rude many times. The Ai family couldn't bear it, so they reprimanded Helan and ordered her to apologize to Fang Jieyu."
Wen Xiaotu secretly thought that she would naturally be able to avoid the cause and effect, but the Queen Mother's words could not prove that Fang was unaware of it.
Just as she was thinking about it, she suddenly realized that Fang was looking at her with tears in her eyes, and the emperor and the queen mother also turned their eyes to her.
There was not a single person in the palace, only the Queen Mother, the Emperor, Fang Shi and her. The Queen Mother and Emperor were sitting, Fang Shi was kneeling, and she... stood there, seeming to be the center of attention.
Emperor Mingzhao narrowed his eyes, this Wen family... is so quiet. He has been incredibly quiet since he entered the palace.
