My heart hurts when I mention the abolition

Chapter 33

The emperor rushed away angrily, and Chen Yizhen followed behind, sent him to the gate, watched his angry back with a dazed expression.

What did she say?Why is the emperor so angry?

After a while, she came back to her senses, "hum", and wrinkled her nose.

He's a mallet!Big mallet!

In any case, the emperor's silence became the default in the eyes of the empress dowager. As for the emperor who seemed to be angrily throwing his sleeves away that day, it was completely out of her consideration. As an emperor, how could there be only one woman in the harem? The Empress Dowager knew very well that the Emperor clearly did not spend the night in Zhongcui Palace.

The empress dowager, who felt that she had a heavy responsibility, made several orders immediately after she returned, one of which was to call all the noble daughters of aristocratic families to participate in the palace flower viewing banquet five days later.

What kind of banquet is not important, the main thing is to let the noble ladies enter the palace so that the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager can see each other.

As soon as this news came out, the aristocratic family outside the palace suddenly became excited. No one was a fool. They deeply understood the reason why the empress dowager suddenly held this banquet at this time.

He Fu.

He Yourong repeatedly ordered the maids around her to go to the tailor shop, and asked them to rush out the clothes she had ordered two days ago, so that she would wear them when she enters the palace two days later.

The servant girl went out, and after a while, she came back with a person behind her.

Seeing that person, He Yourong was a little surprised. She stood up and greeted him, "Mother, why are you here?"

Mrs. He waved her hand and told all the waiters to go down. She took He Yourong's hand, sat down at the table, and stared at her with a heavy face.

"Sister Rong, are you planning to enter the palace?"

He Yourong paused for a moment, without any fluctuation in expression, and nodded calmly.

"Do you know that even if you enter the palace and are favored by the empress dowager, at most you will be named a noble concubine."

He Yourong nodded, "My daughter knows, but she doesn't regret it. This is her last chance. If she doesn't join the royal family, then she can only marry into an ordinary family."

No matter how noble and honorable the family is, how can it be compared to the royal family.

She is sixteen this year. Girls get married earlier when they are thirteen or fourteen, and later when they are sixteen or seventeen. Her age is already considered late, and this time is really the last chance.

Mrs. He sighed, and after a long time, she nodded lightly, tightening her hand slightly, with a smile on her face, "In this case, your mother supports you, and your father also supports you. Just do it, and the family will always be happy." The most solid backer behind you."

He Yourong's smile slowly spread.

Not only He Yourong, but all ladies from aristocratic families who intend to enter the palace all dug out their best clothes and looks.

Of course, there are also those who are afraid of the intrigues in the palace and do not want to enter the palace, but such people dare not openly violate the will of the queen mother, and only want to send a post to the queen mother later to express the meaning of the family. Will insist on asking to enter the palace.

Among them, Marquis Ning Yuan did not want his youngest daughter to enter the palace.

Firstly, he loves his little daughter dearly, and secondly, it is also the most important reason, he knows that the youngest daughter is dull and indifferent, after entering the palace, let alone bring good luck to the family, it would be good not to bring disaster to the family, therefore, He had already told Madam Ningyuan Hou that he did not want Sister Ru to enter the palace, but Madam Ningyuan Hou was shallow-sighted. She only thought of the honor that Sister Ru would bring to the family after entering the palace , completely ignored Ning Yuanhou's advice.

As for Yuan Ruru, the idea of ​​entering the palace to seek wealth and wealth had long been born, so naturally she did not want to obey her father's arrangement.

The two stayed in Yuan Ruru's room, discussing how to impress the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager after entering the palace for two days, so that they could notice her and keep her in the palace.

Madam Ning Yuanhou's eyes suddenly lit up, "You forgot, there is still that one in the palace."

Yuan Ruru was puzzled, and suddenly realized who she was talking about. The corner of her mouth twitched, and she said disdainfully: "Mother, what are you thinking, that person is already a useless person in the palace, how can he help me?"

"Although she is already a useless person, she still bears the name of a queen. For such a big event as the emperor's draft, she will definitely come forward. At that time, she will mention you a little bit, and ask you to go over and walk around in front of the empress dowager. , didn’t you just show your eyes in front of the Empress Dowager?”

Yuan Ruru was stunned, and after thinking for a while, her mother's words were true, she felt excited immediately, but when she thought about something, her hot mind was immediately cooled by a ladle of cold water.

She was a little disheartened, "That being said, how could she help me? During this period of time, she has had an enmity with our family."

Mrs. Ning Yuanhou was very confident, "Don't forget, your sister-in-law, her cousin is still at our house. If you ask your sister-in-law to pass her a letter, I don't believe she dares to refuse."

Yuan Ruru immediately became excited and urged her, "Then mother, hurry up and ask my sister-in-law to deliver the letter to me."

"Don't worry, in the evening, mother will go to your sister-in-law's yard in person."

Yuan Ruru suppressed her excitement and imagined the scene of entering the palace a few days later. She could finally see the emperor again. Moreover, this time she was no longer standing behind Chen Yizhen, a pitiful person who could be ignored, but she wanted to stand in front of the emperor openly. , can't say...

Mrs. Ning Yuanhou patted her hand and said with a smile, "Sister Ru, you have to win over your mother."

The corners of Yuan Ruru's lips curled up, and she said, "Don't worry, mother, I will definitely not disappoint you, just wait and see, in the future, I will ask Chen Yizhen to salute you."

Mrs. Ning Yuanhou smiled happily, "Okay, I'll wait for my son to earn some glory for me and come back."

Zhongcui Palace, Chen Yizhen received a letter from her cousin, she went back and forth, read it over and over for more than three times, at the end, she couldn't help laughing, she smiled ironically.

"Mrs. Ningyuanhou thinks very beautifully."

In the letter, the cousin told her the ins and outs of the matter, and told her that she must not take it for her sake and give Yuan Ruru this face.

Shuangshu and Shuanglu were curious, "Ma'am, what did the eldest aunt tell you?"

Chen Yizhen handed the letter to the two of them and asked them to read it by themselves.

Sweeping up and down, Shuangshu and Shuanglu were dumbfounded. After a long while, they were both angry and amused and said, "This Mrs. Ningyuan Hou really doesn't want any shame."

Chen Yizhen smiled, but suddenly a sense of sadness hit her heart. She thought it was funny here, but her cousin, the eldest daughter of their Zhenguo Duke's mansion, married into such a family back then. The government suffers and is tortured and devastated by such people.

She fell silent, her expression gradually mournful.

Shuangshu and Shuanglu saw that she was not looking right, and immediately put away the anger and amused expression on their faces, and stared at her helplessly.

Chen Yizhen closed his eyes, feeling sad in his heart. Back then, the cousin didn't need to enter the palace to consolidate the family's prosperity, so she was selected by the aunt who cared the most for her. The family is so powerful and rich, I only hope that they can take care of my cousin for the rest of her life, so that she will live in her mother's house in this life, comfortable, happy, and blessed for the rest of her life.

However, Ningyuanhou Mansion let them down.

The most important thing is that neither she nor the Chen family are qualified to protect the cousin.

She didn't know what went wrong, whether it was the fault of Ningyuan Houfu, or the fault of this era.

Chen Yizhen opened his eyes suddenly, and his eyes gradually became firm.

She found that the mood she had been avoiding all this time was not right, at least for the sake of her cousin and the Chen family, she could no longer avoid it like this.

Shuangshu and Shuanglu looked at each other, feeling uneasy and extremely uneasy, they stared at her shyly, and opened their mouths hesitantly, "Ma'am?"

Chen Yizhen glanced at them and suddenly thought of something, "What is the emperor doing these days?"

Since that day, the two broke up unhappy. In the past few days, the emperor has not come to Zhongcui Palace, as if showing it to her brightly, he is not happy.

Shuang Shu thought for a while, and said: "I heard from Mr. Pei that the emperor has been staying in the imperial study for the past two days to deal with the government affairs, and he also rests there at night."

Chen Yizhen nodded.

Biting her lip and thinking for a moment, she made up her mind and said to them, "Do you remember what I told you the night I entered the palace three years ago?"

Shuangshu and Shuanglu's eyes were blank. After a while, Shuanglu was the first to think of it. She said "ah" and covered her mouth in surprise, "Ma'am, what do you want?"

Chen Yizhen nodded affirmatively, "Yes, restore the old plan."

She found that she had been entering the wrong zone.
