Wei Zifu is reborn

Chapter 40 Entering the Palace

When the Empress Dowager arrives, no matter who it is, everyone must respectfully greet him, even Pingyang who still has resentment towards the Empress Dowager.

"Pingyang met the emperor's grandmother." Pingyang knelt down slowly.

"Come on, get up," the empress dowager stepped forward to help Pingyang, and said with a smile, "we are not a family, there is no need to be so polite, hey," she touched Pingyang's face, "I haven't seen you for a while, I look better It was really much better before, who served you so well?"

"Back to the emperor's grandmother," although he was confused about the words of the emperor's grandmother, who had always been unclear to him, but Pingyang replied with his head down, "Pingyang's personal maid took good care of her. She accompanied Pingyang I have been with you for many years, and often know more about me than myself, so Pingyang's complexion will get better."

"It's really so powerful," the Empress Dowager was surprised, "By the way, is that maidservant of yours the one who accompanied you into the palace last time and said she picked up Che'er's finger wrench by the Yellow River?"

Pingyang was startled, and suddenly remembered something. He didn't expect that the Empress Dowager would reveal this matter at this time, but facing what the Empress Dowager said, Pingyang still answered bravely: "Yes, the Empress Dowager Grandmother, I just didn't expect my brother to be fine, it's really great." Since I'm acting, I have to do a full set.

"Such a child," the Empress Dowager raised her head and sighed, "Poor thing, although your complexion in Pingyang is better, but Ai's family has been getting worse and worse recently, and you can't sleep at night. I don't even know what to do."

Pingyang lowered her head, she probably understood something at this time, presumably the Empress Dowager knew something, that's why she came here, even Pingyang probably knew what was going on: "Grandmother, if you don't feel well You should go to the imperial doctor to take a good look, so that you will get better sooner."

Seeing that Pingyang was pretending to be confused, the Empress Dowager also smiled coldly, there was no time when she could not get what she wanted: "Pingyang, the Ai family doesn't say much, in fact, the Ai family just lacks a confidant." Maid I feel comfortable, it depends on whether you, Pingyang, can bear the pain and give up your love."

"Grandmother, this..." Ping Yang was still a little hesitant, if it was the emperor, it could be discussed, but now it is the empress dowager, she is not the same as the emperor.

"Why, do you disagree?" The Empress Dowager sighed, "Well, Pingyang, you are too, but you are just a maidservant. Is it necessary to hide it like this? Ai's family is old, and everyone doesn't listen to what they say, but Aijia wants to see what kind of person makes Pingyang so reluctant to part with you."

At the funeral of the first emperor, Pingyang could have no rules because of what happened that day, but she can't do it today, not to mention the empress dowager took a step back.

Calling someone on the side, Ping Yang asked, "Do you know where Zifu is?"

"Back to the princess, Zifu is playing chess with Mr. Dongfang in the side hall."

"Okay then, go and call Zifu over."

"Yes, princess."

"No need," the Empress Dowager stopped, "Since we're playing chess, there's no need to interrupt. Let's go and have a look. By the way, who is Mr. Dongfang?"

This time Pingyang didn't dare to praise Dongfang Shuo anymore, and said slowly, "Mr. Dongfang came from this time, and Pingyang doesn't know who he is."

The Empress Dowager naturally saw Pingyang's deliberately perfunctory attitude and did not expose it, but she had a slight interest in that Mr. Dongfang.

Walking to the door of the side hall, the two heard laughter and talking from inside.

"Zifu," Dongfang Shuo slowly put away the chess pieces, "You lost this game again."

"When playing chess with the teacher, it's normal for the loser to be Zifu, isn't it?" Wei Zifu didn't feel unhappy because he lost the game, but looked calm.

Dongfang Shuo shook his head: "Zi Fu, you are good at everything, but you are too modest. Only you know how much progress you have made in this period of time. To tell you the truth, I have been struggling to play chess with you recently. I Think about it, sooner or later I will lose to you."

There was a smile in Wei Zifu's eyes: "Zifu is not humble at all. I also think that one day I can beat the teacher in a game. I hope the teacher will not be angry."

"Of course I won't be angry. As a teacher, who doesn't want the blue to be better than the blue, I have great confidence in you and me, Zifu." After finishing speaking, Dongfang Shuo suddenly turned his head and looked outside the door, "Zifu, there are guests here. I think it's still aimed at you."

Wei Zifu also turned his head, saw Princess Pingyang and the Empress Dowager, and quickly knelt down on his knees: "I have seen the Empress Dowager, I have seen the princess."

Dongfang Shuo raised the hem of his clothes, and also knelt down: "Caomin has seen the empress dowager, and the princess. I don't know that you two are here. You are really neglecting me."

The Empress Dowager did not seem to hear what the two said, but walked to the side of the chess game, looked at the chess pieces almost covering the board, nodded from time to time, but even more forgot about the two kneeling.

The Empress Dowager didn't ask the two to get up, and Ping Yang didn't dare to speak, and was about to step forward, but saw Dongfang Shuo shook his head at her and made a motion of muting the sound, so he had to retract his foot that had already taken a step, Stand still.

After a while, the Empress Dowager finally came back to her senses. When she turned her head, she saw the two kneeling on the ground. She was startled. Then she looked at Pingyang who was standing beside her, and quickly realized: "Hey, people's memory is not good when they are old, and they are easy to lose their minds. It is really my fault for making you kneel for so long. Get up quickly."

"Thank you, my servant, the Empress Dowager."

"Caomin thank you, the Empress Dowager."

"Well," the Empress Dowager nodded, and then looked back at the chess game, "You guys played that chess?" After asking, she kept looking at Wei Zifu and Dongfang Shuo.

Wei Zifu looked at Dongfang Shuo again, Dongfang Shuo smiled, and said, "I made the empress dowager laugh, this game of chess that is over is indeed played by Caomin and Zifu together." When dealing with anyone, he is full of confidence, and never even feels inferior because of the other party's higher status, but he is not arrogant either.

Both the empress dowager and the emperor have met many people who are cautious and respectful to themselves, so when facing such Dongfang Shuo, instead of being angry, they will look at Dongfang Shuo differently.

"That's really amazing," the Empress Dowager brushed her hand lightly across the chessboard, "This chess game, if Aijia reads it right, has broken a game that no one has broken for a long time. And the level of playing chess is impressive.”

Dongfang Shuo was surprised, he didn't expect the empress dowager to be so powerful: "The grass people really admire it, presumably the empress dowager must have profound attainments in chess."

"Oh," the Empress Dowager suddenly had a look of nostalgia on her face, "When I first got married, I heard that the prince liked playing chess very much, so I studied it for a while. These chess games are very concerned." The prince that the empress dowager spoke of was naturally Emperor Hanwen, who was just a prince when she married into the royal family.

Even Pingyang was a little surprised. She didn't expect the emperor's grandmother and emperor's grandfather to have real feelings. She thought that the person who could attack her own grandson must be heartless. Otherwise, how could it be so life-threatening? Playing like a joke: "Grandmother..."

The Empress Dowager came back to her senses, and looked at the people present with a smile: "I made you laugh, I haven't thought of him for a long time, and I still feel a little dazed when I think about it now, but Mr. Dongfang, right? The Ai family treats you more and more. The more curious I am, I have never seen such a magical person as Mr. Dongfang. When Ai's family entered the door, I heard Mr. Dongfang say that Ai's family came today because of this maid, I don't know how Mr. Dongfang knew."

Dongfang Shuo laughed: "I didn't expect that the Empress Dowager would see through this little trick of Cao Min. It really made the Empress Dowager laugh. It's just that Cao Min can do trigrams in a day, and there's nothing to do in the princess mansion. I'm idle and boring." I just did a fortune-telling for my apprentice, and it just so happens that a nobleman will come to find Zifu today."

"It turned out to be a fortune teller? But the Ai family has never seen such a magical hexagram technique. Today's trip is worthwhile. Originally, the Ai family just planned to take Zifu away. Now it seems that if they can bring Zifu's teacher together It would be better to leave, I wonder if Mister Dongfang has any ideas?" The empress dowager is challenging Liu Che openly, since Dongfang Shuo has been staying at Princess Pingyang's mansion, he must be staying for Liu Che. But the Empress Dowager said that Dongfang Shuo would enter the palace with her.

But Dongfang Shuo shook his head: "Caomin is just a grassroots person, I'm afraid I don't have that ability, but Zifu can, Zifu, you can enter the palace with the Empress Dowager."

Wei Zifu looked up at Dongfang Shuo, then nodded, "Zifu listens to the teacher."

The empress dowager looked at the two of them like this, she didn't know why she was a little depressed, although the purpose of coming here was achieved, she was still depressed, but she quickly adjusted her mood: "Okay, my wife will mourn Home into the palace, what do you say, Pingyang?"

"Pingyang dare not go against the emperor's grandmother's will."

"Empress Dowager, can you let the servants speak to the teacher and the princess?"

"Speak, talk, all of them are like this. After finishing speaking, you will enter the palace with Ai's family. It will not be so easy for you to leave the palace."

Wei Zifu knew that it was certain that he would enter the palace, and following the empress dowager's entry into the palace could be regarded as taking the old path of his previous life, but the next path still needs to be walked slowly.

"Teacher, Zifu is about to enter the palace, what orders does the teacher have?"

"No, just stay here and do what you want to do. I know your purpose all along is to be there, so I can push you."

"Teacher, don't you really need it? Zifu knows that the teacher has been worrying about Miss Nian, so don't you need Zifu to help?"

Suddenly, Dongfang Shuo smiled and said, "Zifu, my fortune will fall on you one day." The result of what he said was naturally very clear.

Wei Zifu smiled, then went to Princess Pingyang and knelt down: "Princess Xie has taken good care of me for so many years, and please take good care of my brother during the time when the servant is away."

"Okay, Zifu, don't worry, the palace is no better than outside the palace, Zifu, you have to be careful."

"Thank you, princess." Ever since he was reborn and came back here, Wei Zifu has his own purpose, nothing else but for his own son, the child with a tragic end, but the last time Liu Che proposed to let her enter the palace At that time, she did not agree, just because there were still unfinished business, but now, the time is almost up.

"Empress Dowager," Dongfang Shuo called to the two people who were about to go out, "Caomin is about to set up a stall in Chang'an City. If the Empress Dowager is interested, you can come to Caomin at any time."

The Empress Dowager turned around with a look of surprise.

"Mr. Dongfang..." Ping Yang said, she knew that her younger brother hoped that Dongfang Shuo would do things for him, but now.

"Hey, princess, you don't need to say any more. The grass people are just thinking about how to make good use of their talents. I think the empress dowager will need them," Dongfang Shuo said with a smile, and then knelt down in the position of the empress dowager. To the Empress Dowager."

It's just that Empress Dowager Dou is not an idiot, so she wouldn't just believe Dongfang Shuo just like that, she just looked at the two and snorted coldly, and then took Wei Zifu out, just like that, Wei Zifu followed the Empress Dowager into the palace , entered the palace without any expectation before that.

The Empress Dowager left, but Dongfang Shuo did not move. Pingyang looked at Dongfang Shuo who was still sitting there, and asked curiously, "Is Mr. Dongfang waiting for someone?"

"That's right, haha, but I'm waiting for someone to question me." Dongfang Shuo laughed loudly, took a pen in his hand at some point, and wrote on the bamboo slips.

Pingyang asked curiously: "Pingyang doesn't understand what Mister Dongfang means?"

Dongfang Shuo didn't answer, and continued to write. After a long time, Dongfang Shuo came back to his senses and found Pingyang still standing there, and said with a smile: "The princess doesn't need to accompany the grass people, but it's easy to think at this time. Feelings are probably not what we ordinary people understand, if the emperor knows that I have persuaded my husband to enter the palace with the empress dowager, princess, do you think the emperor will come to question the grass people?"

Pingyang opened his mouth in surprise: "My brother? Will he have such deep feelings for Zifu?" Although Pingyang deliberately arranged Liu Che to marry Zifu, he didn't think that Liu Che would have feelings for Wei Zifu, and he would be so attached to Wei Zifu because of this. In anger, he questioned Dongfang Shuo, who had always been very important.

Dongfang Shuo smiled lightly: "Princess, let's watch." Obviously, although Liu Che knew more about Pingyang, Liu Che could no longer use common sense to infer Liu Che under the current situation. As for Dongfang Shuo, his winning weapon is Sizing up the situation and inferring what might happen next based on a person's changes.

The author has something to say: Ha, finally changed.
