Zhen Guo Princess GL

Chapter 206 1 Retreat

As soon as Zheng Bo's appointment was issued, he entered the palace.Gongmen did not report to me, but directly reported to my mother.It took two hours for my mother to send someone to call me over. At that time, I was learning how to play Go from A Huan and Cui Mingde, when my mother called me to Jixian Hall, I saw Zheng Bo kneeling on the steps from afar.

I walked past him into the hall, and saw my mother, wearing light clothes and loose clothes, lying leisurely on the couch.Surrounding her were seven or eight female doctors, apart from the ones she used on a daily basis, there were also two female doctors—Tuan'er led a few waiters by her side holding towels, and Wan'er was held by Tuan'er and others. From the plate, I took all kinds of colorful things, whether they were flower mud or ointment, and rubbed them on my mother's face. Several court ladies accompanied me and two female doctors massaged and massaged for my mother, one on the head and the other on the feet.

When I entered the door, voices were heard from inside and outside. When I got closer, my mother opened her eyes slightly, and stretched out her right hand. I quickly grabbed her hand and called, "Mother." I bowed and knelt down. , sitting on the side of the couch, with something on his mind, but he could only smile and ask first: "Is this a new recipe developed by Auntie?"

The mother smiled and said: "Wan'er made the new tune according to the ancient prescription. I will try it first, and I don't know the effect."

I said: "Then I'd rather not have the effect - A Niang is already so beautiful, if we use these maintenance prescriptions to make the beauty even better, what are we going to do?"

My mother was so amused by me that she wanted to laugh, because the grease on her face was dry and hard to touch, so she pinched my hand: "Nonsense, I am already an old woman, how can I compare with you young girls in full bloom?" , don't coax me."

There is no need for me to speak at this time, there are naturally many people flattering and flattering, saying that my mother is naturally beautiful and not inferior to a young girl, coaxing my mother into ecstasy, and saying: "Don't worry, wait until I try it, and see that this prescription is really good, so let's go alone give one."

When I saw someone flattering my mother, I didn't interrupt. I just turned my head and looked outside. My mother saw it sideways, smiled lightly, and said, "Let him wait."

I don't want to mention this matter any more, I talked with my mother all the way, and after she got up, washed her face, and changed her clothes, Fang Dekong talked about Zheng Bo: "Didn't Aunt promise to leave this matter to me?"

My mother gave me a sideways look: "The new doctor of the temple department of the imperial court has just taken office, don't you want to pay a visit to me, the Queen Mother?"

I was speechless for a moment, my mother just ordered Zheng Bo to come in at this moment, and she didn't call out when he was fully saluted, Zheng Bo just said the word "Taiping", but she interrupted: "You are new today, you can go to the official department to pay homage Pavilion elder, hall official?"

Zheng Bo also had some winks, and said respectfully: "I don't dare to pay homage to the magistrate before thanking the Queen Mother."

The mother smiled and said, "Alright, then go see me tomorrow."

Zheng Bo secretly glanced at me, and lowered his head in response.His mother told him a few more things about the ancestral hall, but she treated him like an ordinary official. Zheng Bo wanted to mention me several times, but was interrupted by his mother, so he only talked about official duties. After saying goodbye, he retreated to the door and raised his eyes. Glancing at me, he said in a low voice: "The family harvested new bamboo shoots, stewed them into clear soup, and made gold and silver thin rolls. Although they are not as good as those in the palace, they are always the first to try something new. If the princess is free, she will go home and have a meal again. Let's go to the palace."

I bowed to my mother and me, and slowly backed out.

I didn't want him to say such words suddenly. I was stunned for a while, but finally didn't know what to do. My mother looked at me with a smile: "Before you got married, I was afraid that you were an only daughter. You were spoiled and spoiled since childhood, and you got along with your husband-in-law." , I don’t know the way to withdraw from the yin and be gentle, but now it seems that I am too worried. But there are some things, the first retreat is virtuous and gentle, and the third retreat is weak and incompetent, you have to remember.”

It turned out that she thought that I was seeking an official position for Zheng Bo in order to advance. I am afraid that Zheng Bo also thought that I was trying to show "virtuousness", so I said such a thing.However, my original intention was just to take advantage of my mother's power and promise him a title in exchange for his indifference to everything about me—with the current etiquette, if he really opposes me to the end, everyone will be angry if he goes out. It's not good-looking, so why not make an agreement with him for three chapters, he will have a concubine in his house, and I will get along with A Huan outside.

From now on, Zheng Bo seems to have misunderstood something.

I smiled wryly in my heart, and I could only respond with a smile on my face. When my mother saw my appearance, she suddenly became a little displeased: "I see that you used to be a little bit good in the discipline palace, but you are still too kind. You used to be under my nose. , but that's all, now that you are out of the palace, you still have to take care of many things by yourself, don't be as childish as before, understand?"

I was startled, and took a sneak peek at her, seeing that she didn't look very angry, so I grabbed her hand and said coquettishly: "Auntie said yesterday how old my children are, and they are all children in front of their parents, but today they dislike me—" —Could it be that I did something wrong and made Auntie angry? If so, Auntie should tell me directly, and I will definitely change it.”

Mother slowed down and said, "I don't dislike you, but you're old too..." Squeezing my hand, she suddenly changed the subject: "Is there still a heartache in the past few months? Can Zhang Wenzhong treat you on time?"

I said: "I haven't committed any crime for seven or eight months. Several Fengyu have seen it, and said that as long as it is treated carefully, it will be fine."

But the mother still said: "Call them all to come tomorrow and take a look for you."

I faintly felt that there was something unfinished in her words, so I didn't dare to ask, just about to say goodbye as usual, remembering that my mother thought I was weak, so I hurriedly straightened my body and obeyed in a clear voice.

Mother was very leisurely in the morning, and now she seemed to finally remember the affairs of the court, so she ordered someone to bring me the memorial and asked me to read it to her.Ah Qing stood outside, and Wan'er and I were the only ones in front of my mother. I knew it was important, so I picked it up carefully and read it one by one.

The first few copies were all written to persuade my mother to move the capital to Luoyang, signed either by Zhu Wu or by my mother’s confidant—there have been rumors about moving the capital for a long time, and they proposed it at this moment. , Said: "Yes." Wan'er handed the memorial to her mother to draw a word "Ke", and put it in one place.The mother also asked: "Have the renaming of official positions and other things been planned?"

But I didn't know that when I looked at Wan'er, she took out a long scroll from a pile of memorials and handed it to me: "I have drawn up some, I invite the Queen Mother to order."

She used the word "holy" again.My heart skipped a beat, and I glanced at my mother, but saw that her face was calm and not displeased. I opened the scroll and found that it was written by Wu Sansi, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites: "Please change Luoyang Palace to Taichu Palace; Shangshu Province to Wenchang Terrace; Menxia Province to Luantai; Zhongshu Province is Fengge; Yushitai is Zuosuzhengtai; Zengyousuzhengtai; provinces, temples, prisons, rates, etc. are all renamed according to righteousness; officials and chiefs are renamed accordingly; the flag is changed to gold; Those who change their obedience to Qing are obedient to Bi..."

Mother nodded as she listened, and when she heard halfway through, she suddenly smiled and said, "This isn't Wu Sansi's original music, did he ask you about it?"

Wan'er bowed and said, "According to the Empress Dowager's order, I briefly copied some of the sources of official positions in the past dynasties, and did not give names to them one by one."

Mother smiled slightly, and nodded her head.

There are more than [-] volumes about water transportation, taxation, etc. in various places, but I am not familiar with it, and I can't read it smoothly. Fortunately, my mother was not angry, and occasionally explained a sentence or two to me.Today I just learned about the subdivision of Zuyong Tiao and the distinctions between the various servitors. I’m afraid I can’t remember it, so I shyly begged for a pen and paper, and prepared to record them one by one. My mother smiled and said, “Let Wan’er give it to you.” Just make a copy." He refused to let me be the secretary on the spot.

I know that our participation in political affairs is a secret matter and should not be publicized, so I will not mention it again. After my mother has dealt with this batch of matters, I see her stretching lazily as if she is about to get up, and hurriedly approached Wan'er to support her However, my mother just moved her body slightly and said to me: "Since Zheng Langzi is sincere, you can go back. If you want to enter the palace at night, you can come. If you don't want to, you can stay at home."

I paused, and said: "Didn't Aunt say that if you retreat three times, you are weak? I have retreated once, so don't retreat again today."

My mother glanced at me with a smile, her eyes were clearly very satisfied, but in her mouth she said lightly: "It's up to you."
