After King Ning and Yan Jinqiu exchanged a few polite words, they entered the Chaoyang Hall with their front and back feet. Seeing this scene, people with more hearts couldn't help but mutter in their hearts. Isn't this King Ning trying to push the throne? But looking at King Xian's appearance, it seems that he doesn't really want King Chengning's love
Some good people deliberately looked at the expression of King Shengjun. Seeing that he was still holding a serious face as usual, he was suddenly a little tired. Especially the younger generation who are often compared with Yan Boyi by the elders in the family, as long as they see Yan Boyi's serious face, they feel panic in their hearts.
There are a few young people who like the "children of other people's family" as the elders say, and want them to say that this Yan Boyi is a hypocrite and prudish. When it comes to respecting the first wife, there are not too many concubines in the palace, and I don't know how they are embarrassed to accept this kind of compliment from others.
Everyone took their seats, and soon a eunuch came over to give a high five to clear the way, and everyone got up again to welcome the arrival of the emperor.
The queen was walking beside the emperor in a phoenix skirt, and she walked past the ministers. Hua Xiwan saw that she was walking very steadily step by step. The golden phoenix in her hair swayed regularly and slightly, but almost The arc of each shake is basically the same.
"rise."
After the empress was seated, everyone got up and followed. Hua Xiwan listened to the officials of the Ministry of Rites come out and read a thousand-autumn congratulatory message written by the emperor specially for the empress.
After reciting the congratulatory message, after the three cups of wine sacrificed to heaven and earth, after drinking one cup, everyone toasted to the queen. After tossing and tossing according to the rules, everyone can sit in a slightly comfortable position to taste wine and watch songs and dances, but also pay attention from time to time. own manners.
Hua Xiwan covered the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and whispered in Yan Jinqiu's ear, "Why didn't the queen mother come today?"
Yan Jinqiu put a piece of duck tongue on her calmly: "The queen mother is not feeling well, so she is resting in the palace."
Hua Xiwan fell silent when she heard the words. In the past, Queen Qianqiu, even if the queen mother was unwell, she would show her face and go back. I didn't expect that she would not even show her face this time. The empress dowager's move was to deliberately embarrass the empress, and the emperor had the imperial guards besiege the Fang family a few days ago, and now he wrote a congratulatory message to the empress and read it out in front of so many people. of.
But do the two of them really have such affection or did they deliberately make such a scene for others to see
A Qianqiu banquet was tasteless and tasteless. Hua Xiwan was too lazy to watch the two performers, relying on Yan Jinqiu's cover, which saved a lot of lip service, but when the banquet was about to end, something went wrong. .
Although a banquet was supposed to be fake and lively, at least it looked good on the surface, but if a eunuch suddenly fainted and died at the banquet, it would not be a good thing.
Although the body of the eunuch was quickly carried out, in the eyes of everyone, it is not a good omen for this kind of thing to happen at the empress Qianqiu banquet, and no one died suddenly without any disease or disaster. Is this a warning from heaven
Hua Xiwan had also heard of this situation in her previous life. The doctor said it was a cardiovascular and cerebrovascular problem, but people today don't know it, so it's easier to blame it on ghosts.
The queen who thinks this is the most unlucky thing is probably the queen. Although Hua Xiwan can't see any emotion on the queen's face, but as a woman, she can be sure that the queen must be very heartbroken now.
Princess Duanhe walked out of Chaoyang Hall with a gloomy face, because the eunuch who died just now suddenly fell to the ground and died when she was serving her. The servants who followed her shrank their heads dodgingly, afraid that the princess would get angry with them.
"Do you think this is weird? Why did the eunuch who served Princess Duanhe die violently?"
"Could it be retribution? Have you heard that rumor?"
"Which one?"
"It's just that Duanhe's concubine died inexplicably. It may be Duanhe's princess..."
On the second day after the banquet, there were rumors outside, to the effect that Duan and the concubine died inexplicably, and now the princess is looking for revenge.
After hearing these rumors, Hua Xiwan was a little speechless, not to mention whether Duanhe's concubine was killed by the princess. What's the use of killing a little eunuch
Within two days, the rumors changed again, to the effect that this was a warning from God, and God was dissatisfied with the Queen, so this unfortunate thing happened at her Qianqiu Banquet.
Then there were officials who said that the queen's family had committed wrongdoings, and there was a warning from God that the queen did not have the virtue of the mother of the country, and could not bear it.
In just a few days, a trivial matter that was originally very simple turned out to be related to the abolition of the queen. Hua Xiwan felt that if there was no behind-the-scenes mastermind, how could it have developed to this stage
Not only her, but even Yan Jinqiu didn't expect things to turn out like this. After discussing with his disciples, although he still hadn't come to a conclusion, he chose to stay put.
To him, a childless queen is better than a favored queen who doesn't know if she will have children in the future. If the queen is abolished, the emperor will definitely establish a new queen, which is not a good thing.
In the evening, he and Hua Xiwan finished eating together. When the two sat in the comfortable bed and chatted, Hua Xiwan said, "I heard that there are many officials who have filed petitions to cancel, is it true?"
Yan Jinqiu nodded.
"Could it be that the emperor wanted to abolish the queen?" Hua Xiwan frowned, "If the emperor didn't mean this, and the first official opened his mouth, he suppressed the matter, how could he let the situation develop?"
Yan Jinqiu chuckled lightly: "Who knows, maybe."
In the Suzaku Palace, the crown princess and the queen sit face to face, because the older the pregnancy is, the longer the crown princess' bulging belly will become. It's just that the crown princess, who used to be cautious in front of the queen, has become more casual.
"I don't know what the queen mother is looking for?" The crown princess held a small dress in her hand and asked the queen with a smile, "How do you like this dress?"
The queen sneered: "What method did you use?"
"Empress mother, what are you talking about, what means?" The crown prince smiled sweetly, and gently stroked the fabric of the clothes with her index finger, "I don't quite understand what you said."
"I don't understand that you know it in your heart," the queen sneered. "You want to fight with me, but you are still a little tender!"
"Haha," the Crown Princess kept smiling, covering the corners of her mouth, until the Queen's face showed an impatient expression before she stopped, "This is really strange, if you want to go to the mother and keep the child, can't I resist? "
In the eyes of others, the Empress is the most honorable husband and wife in the world, but in her eyes, these two are the most disgusting men and women. One took advantage of her drunkenness to claim her innocence, and the other rubbed her as a clay figurine. Even if she was really a clay figurine, she still had a three-part temperament.
She hasn't lived enough, she doesn't want to die.
"Okay, very good," the Queen heard the words and said solemnly, "I will see, what means do you have!" After saying these words, the Queen turned around and left.
The Crown Princess clutched her stomach, and suddenly exclaimed in pain, "Come on, come on!"
To deal with the queen, she doesn't need any clever means at all.
