This is her sadness. It's not that Rong Changan wants to win Li Hai's heart very much now, but if a woman can't make a man see you with tenderness in his eyes, then even if she is successful in other aspects and a winner, she will Not so happy.
"Your Majesty, are you angry with An?" Rong Changan looked at the book Li Hai was holding in his hand, it was Sima Qian's "Tai Shi Gong Shu" and "Biography of Foreign Relatives".
Li Hai was drinking while reading, but he stopped looking at Rong Changan: "How dare I be angry with you!"
"Aren't the emperor's words just mad at me? Is it because of Ziyan?"
Li Hai snorted: "Ask knowingly!"
Rong Chang'an smiled: "Your Majesty, there is no need to be sad and angry. I came today to plead with Zi Yan to let the Emperor let her out."
Li Hai's eyes froze, thinking, is this what Rong Changan is going to say? Will she intercede for Zi Yan
"Tell me, the reason why you pleaded for her." Li Hai asked.
Rong Changan had already thought about it. Let Ziyan stay in the cold palace, even if there is a eunuch who is there to make things difficult for her, Rong Changan still feels that it is not enough, if she is not released, Rong Changan will fight her again, and only by hitting her again and again can he achieve the goal of revenge.
"Reason?" Rong Changan smiled, staring at Li Hai's slumped look, "The reason is on the emperor's face."
Li Hai was a little dissatisfied: "Queen, please don't say such secret things in front of me."
Rong Changan took a bronze mirror and put it in front of Li Hai: "Your Majesty, take a look for yourself."
Rong Changan wiped the blurred bronze mirror with the paper on the table, and a transparent mirror appeared in front of Li Hai. Li Hai looked at himself in the mirror at first glance, and could hardly recognize him: the abrupt cheekbones, yellow and thin skin, drooping corners of the mouth, sluggish eyes with bloodshot eyes, how could there be such an emperor of Jing Kingdom? look! It's just a down-and-out literati.
"Queen, what do you mean?"
Rong Chang'an said: "Seeing that the emperor has no Ziyan, he is getting thinner day by day, sluggish and sluggish, and Chao Gang ignores it, which not only hurts the emperor's body, but also delays the affairs of the state. As a queen, if I don't come to intercede with the emperor at this time, It's too unreasonable! People outside call me Daji!"
Li Hai lowered his eyes, guessing Rong Changan's intentions.
What does she want to do? Didn't you always want to harm Ziyan? Isn't it always going to be against me? Why did you think of me today? It is true that the sun has risen in the west.
"Your Majesty," Rong Changan continued, "Maybe Ziyan is just fascinated by ghosts for a while. She is younger than me, and she is still a little unstable. Who doesn't make mistakes when she is young? Why don't we give her a chance to repent?"
Li Hai's eyes were cautious and suspicious: "Do you really want to let Concubine Ziyan out?"
Rong Changan smiled, very complacently: "When have I ever deceived the emperor? The emperor always deceived me!"
Li Hai murmured: "When did I ever deceive the queen!" He lowered his face and thought about it.
Even if Ziyan could be given a chance to reform, but Rong Changan would let him go if he wanted to, and shut him down if he wanted to. What's Li Hai's face as an emperor? Where is the majesty of the emperor? Where is a man's self-esteem
Li Hai snorted again: "Queen, I cannot grant your request!"
Rong Chang'an guessed wrong, thinking that Li Hai would follow suit and release Ziyan immediately! But Li Hai didn't appear very excited, he was hesitant and cautious like an oil lamp.
"Your Majesty, why can't you release purple smoke?"
Li Hai stood up, straightened his back, and pretended to be the majesty of the emperor: "Zi Yan actually met the wild man in the back mountain behind his back, which is really insulting to the majesty of the royal family! If I don't punish me severely, in the future such things will be said. It’s not allowed to happen to you and others.”
When talking about "you", Li Hai deliberately emphasized his tone, alluding to the matter between Rong Changan and Yan Li.
Rong Chang'an just pretended not to know.
"Your majesty, Ziyan is so cute, if he is locked in the cold palace, it will be ruined?"
Li Hai insisted on her own decision: if Rong Changan had the final say on everything, she would have taken the Li family's Dajing Kingdom without any effort.
"How can I change what I have decided! You don't need to say anything about Ziyan. I still need to read some classic history books. If the queen has nothing else to do, please leave first!"
Now that Li Hai has said so, it is not easy for Rong Changan to stay. The next day, she informed the Queen Mother of the news.
The Empress Dowager knew Rong Changan well, since she would do her best to do what she promised, if she couldn't do it, then it was Li Hai's problem.
Could it be that Zi Yan is really messing with other men
The Queen Mother pondered. Even if Ziyan really fell out with other men, she would do everything in her power to save Ziyan, after all she was only Ziyan's relative in the palace.
The 70th birthday in a few days may be an opportunity.
The Empress Dowager asked the military academy guarding outside Fengzao Palace to send a message to Li Hai, saying that the Empress Dowager wanted to see him to discuss about his 70th birthday.
Since the Queen Mother was placed under house arrest, Li Hai still went to greet the Queen Mother every day in name, but his steps were only outside the gate of Fengzao Palace, and he never met the Queen Mother. Therefore, the queen mother has not seen Li Hai for a long time.
Li Hai was a little surprised when he suddenly heard that the queen mother wanted to see him, but he felt at ease when he heard that it was for the 70th birthday.
The current empress dowager is Li Hai's prisoner, what right does she have to propose to him that she wants to celebrate her 70th birthday! Set a table for her that day, and ask a few concubines to go over and talk to the queen mother, that's about it.
"Now that the country is strictly prohibiting extravagance and waste, how can we celebrate the queen mother's birthday? No!" Li Hai threw the letter written by the queen mother on the ground.
Eunuch Liu picked up the letter: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is always the Emperor's mother in name. If you don't celebrate the Empress Dowager's birthday, and if it spreads, people outside will say that the Emperor has violated his filial piety."
It is the queen mother who has lost her mother first! During the Taimiao, did the Queen Mother ever think that Li Hai was her son in name
Suddenly, Li Hai felt a pain in his heel. Looking down, Eunuch Liu stepped on his heel and knocked off his cloud shoes.
Li Hai Longyan was furious: "Eunuch Liu, are you against me?"
Eunuch Liu said softly: "Your Majesty, this old servant still thinks it is appropriate to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday..."
The words and eyes clearly hide the deep meaning! With a wave of his hand, Li Hai called the other people in the room out.
"Eunuch Liu, it's okay to say what's going on now."
Eunuch Liu's expression was serious: "Your Majesty, think about it, who are the people standing behind the Empress Dowager? Now the relationship between the Emperor and the Empress Dowager is quite normal in the eyes of outsiders. The Emperor used to give the Empress Dowager every year. What will the outsiders think if the grand birthday is not held this year? Especially what will the relatives think?"
Li Hai's heart skipped a beat when his relatives were mentioned. Apart from Rong Chang'an, Li Hai was most afraid of his relatives. The queen mother relied on the help of her relatives, so she dared to stand up to the emperor before. If Li Hai doesn't celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday and spreads the news, the relatives will definitely make trouble. Having Rong Changan by his side was enough to worry about, let alone having relatives cheering him on
"The old slave thinks that when it is time to obey, it is better to obey. The emperor might as well go to Fengzao Palace to see what the Queen Mother wants to do with her birthday. After pleasing the Queen Mother, naturally the palace will be calm and the country will be clean and peaceful."
Painful wrinkles appeared at the corners of Li Hai's mouth: "Then I'll follow my father-in-law's orders and go to Fengzao Palace now."
