《The Story of Ming Lan》E48
Episode 48
Gu Tingye has been following behind the carriage. Xiao Shen is extremely envious. Sheng Minglan is happy in her heart, but she still feels that he is too kind to her.Sheng Minglan had been detained in the palace, but before she could reach the queen, she was called over by the queen mother, saying that the queen was also there.Little Shen was so angry that she stamped her feet. The Queen Mother had always disliked the Shen sisters and scolded them endlessly every time she saw them, fearing that Sheng Minglan would be hurt too.
The Queen Mother has two maids who have been with her since childhood, and she wants the Queen to take them back so that they can come and see her from time to time.The queen knew the purpose of the queen mother's eyeliner, so she said that the emperor had to spend money on tailoring and could not afford to keep it.The Queen Mother gave up and looked at Xiao Shen again, who refused again and again.The Queen Mother looked at Sheng Minglan again. Sheng Minglan just kept smiling and said that there were several marriages to be held at home. It turned out that there were many unmarried people in the army. Gu Tingye asked Sheng Minglan to find some maids at home and look at each other.The Queen Mother said that these were all pampered in the palace and could not bear the hardships of the frontier.The queen helped Sheng Minglan move the late emperor out. In desperation, the queen mother had no choice but to agree.
After leaving the Queen Mother's place, they saw Gu Tingye waiting outside. It turned out that it was Gu Tingye who recommended the eunuch who rescued Sheng Minglan to be the steward. Now he was well-informed and learned that Minglan had been summoned by the Queen Mother and came to wait for Minglan to return home..Sheng Minglan looked apologetic, feeling that she had caused trouble for Gu Tingye, but Gu Tingye didn't take it to heart at all.Sheng Minglan was really puzzled as to what the Queen Mother was doing now.It turned out that the Queen Mother hoped that Zhao Zongquan would imitate the late emperor, but Zhao Zongquan insisted on reform. After all, the court was really dirty now.Gu Tingye took Sheng Minglan to have a drink, but Sheng Minglan had to take care of some things, but Gu Tingye had to go. Now Zhao Zongquan was fighting for power with the Queen Mother, and Gu Tingye was the right-hand man of Zhao Zongquan and Zhao Ceying. I'm afraid his family would not have a good life in the future.However, I don’t even have the time to drink.
The Queen Mother listened to politics behind the curtain, and today she cut off the minister's conversation and asked Qi Heng to be announced.Qi Heng advocated a thorough investigation into the previous rebellion against the king. Before Zhao Zongquan could say anything, the Queen Mother made her own decision.The Queen Mother refused to hand over the jade seal. Zhao Zongquan's face looked ugly just now. Now getting the jade seal back is a serious matter.Zhao Ceying was anxious to snatch it away, but Gu Tingye said that this jade seal must be snatched wisely.Qi Heng went to the Hou Mansion and arrested the two sons of the Fourth and Fifth Fangs. The Fourth and Fifth Uncles were crying and screaming. Unexpectedly, Qi Heng was so selfless that even the Qi family would check them out.The Fourth Aunt and the Fifth Aunt asked Xiao Qin to beg her. Although the Gu family and the Qi family were related by ancestors, the two families had not moved around often for a long time, so it was difficult for Xiao Qin to open her mouth.After talking for a long time, Xiao Qin pointed out a person to the two of them, Gu Tingye.
Gu Tingye and Sheng Minglan talked about Qi Heng arresting people from the Gu family, but Sheng Minglan knew that Qi Heng would not avenge him publicly.Gu Tingye told Sheng Minglan to be careful. The fourth and fifth bedrooms might come to bother her. Those female relatives were very scary.Gu Tingye knew that they didn't have the guts to cling to the Ni Wang, so he didn't want to care about it.The fourth uncle and the fifth uncle came to Gu Tingye with shy faces. Gu Tingye delayed for a while before telling the story that the two cousins had bought a group of Jiangnan girls for King Ni and sent them to the minister's mansion for recruitment, saying that it was not a big deal.My son, I can’t lose my head.The fourth uncle and the fifth uncle were still very anxious and took care of their family one by one, but they were sent home by Gu Tingye.
In the Duke's Mansion of Qi State, Qi Heng's stepmother Shen asked him to go back to his room to rest, but Qi Heng was busy with official duties. Shen inevitably complained that he hadn't gone back to his room to sleep in a month and always slept in the study when he was tired.Qi Heng only said one sentence, he would never let her down.Mrs. Shen returned to her room alone. Although Qi Heng kept himself clean, she always felt that Qi Heng always treated her like an outsider.The female envoy also remembered the rumor among the servants that Qi Heng had been attracted to a concubine, so Shen immediately sent someone to inquire about it.The fourth aunt and the fifth aunt came to see Sheng Minglan in tears, saying that the whole family was prosperous and devastated, but Sheng Minglan pretended to be dumbfounded. Suddenly Xiao Tao came to report that Sister Rong was missing.Sheng Minglan left quickly, leaving the two aunts there.
