Luo Yun said with some worry, "Niangniang, this..."
Empress Liang raised her hand and stopped Luo Yun's next words, looking at the closed palace gate with a forbearance on her face.
Chu Qingyan was also a little surprised.
Emperor Xixuan just came over from the mother and son, but now he has closed the door to Queen Liang. This treatment is somewhat different.
She had heard some rumors before that the current Emperor Xixuan was not the first in line to be the heir, and he had a brother above him, but because when Emperor Xixuan was the prince, he often led troops on expeditions, with political ambitions and a broad vision. They all outperformed those imperial brothers, and Emperor Xixuan took the daughter of Liang Xiang, a hero of a generation, with deep roots and powerful relatives, so he squeezed out a few imperial brothers and became the emperor smoothly.
It can be said that the Liang family made great contributions to Emperor Xixuan's ascension to the throne.
And that Concubine Yue, I heard that he grew up with Emperor Xixuan as childhood sweethearts, and Fu Jingjian was not a prime minister. He was only a Taifu before, teaching Emperor Xixuan. His own daughter became Emperor Xixuan's companion. She was talented and beautiful, and fell in love over time, so it was not difficult for the two to fall in love with each other.
But for the throne, Emperor Xixuan must choose between the love and power in his heart.
Therefore, Emperor Xixuan married Liang Yuan, promised Liang Xiang, and hired him as the head of the harem, so he got the strong support of Liang Xiang, and it was a matter of course that he won the crown prince, and Xixuan, who lost the beautiful woman, was enthroned after he ascended the throne. , and immediately married Fu Youyue into the palace and gave him the position of concubine.
Chu Qingyan couldn't help laughing coldly, so Empress Liang was just a springboard for Emperor Xixuan, and Concubine Yue was the love in his heart
I don't know whether to say that Emperor Xixuan is affectionate or ruthless
But all his actions towards big ice cubes are ruthless!
Chu Qingyan was a little embarrassed, but here, everyone wore a mask, and she never showed her emotions, so she forced herself to wear a smiling mask.
When Empress Liang gave an order to Luo Yun, Luo Yun asked someone to take out something similar to a pillow and put it on the ground.
Eunuch Cao was a little puzzled when he saw this, "Empress Empress, who are you?"
"Eunuch Cao, tell your majesty that Ben Gong is kneeling here. When he wants to see Ben Gong, Ben Gong will stand up again."
Speaking of which, Queen Liang knelt down on the kneeling pillow, straightening her waist, with a firm look.
Eunuch Cao couldn't explain a few "this, this..." in a row, and was frightened by the empress's actions.
Seeing this, Chu Qingyan immediately knelt down, and Empress Liang knelt down. As a future daughter-in-law, she had no reason to stand and watch.
There was a soft sound behind her, and Empress Liang's expression softened a little. It seems that this little girl's film is not so unprofessional.
When Eunuch Cao saw one big and one small kneeling on the ground, he snorted and hurriedly entered the hall to report.
"Your Majesty, the Empress and the Ninth Miss of the Chu family knelt outside the palace to ask for an interview." Eunuch Cao reported.
When Emperor Xixuan heard the words, his fingers reading the memorials paused, then continued to read, "I don't see you."
"Yes." Eunuch Cao responded in a low voice and left the hall.
As soon as Empress Liang saw the look on Eunuch Cao's face, she already knew the answer. She twisted the jinpa with her fingers and felt a chill in her heart. She suddenly felt that her father was right to scold her. Watching a good show on the side, so that Xu'er fell into such a predicament.
But at this time, she couldn't look back, she continued to kneel, hoping that His Majesty could see her face to face for the sake of seeing her kneeling for a long time.
Chu Qingyan was slightly surprised, this Emperor Xixuan was still so indifferent to the lord of the harem, and he was even more indifferent to the big ice cubes...
Her eyes were filled with worry.
Time passed bit by bit, and the knee went from tingling to numbness to the pain at this point.
She didn't dare to check it out, for fear that someone would see it in the eyes and pass it on to Emperor Xixuan, saying that she was kneeling without any piety.
She couldn't help remembering what it was like to kneel in a cold night with a big ice cube on a full moon night.
Are your knees sore? Is it that your calf feels so numb that it is no longer yours? Is your back sore that you can't stand it
She only knelt for an hour, but what about the big ice cube that knelt all night? Is it more difficult
The bottom of her eyes was sore, she closed her eyes, and she felt unbearably distressed. In fact, it was the heart that was more uncomfortable with the big ice cubes, right? It is the most heart-wrenching pain to be indiscriminately punished to kneel by your own father!
In order to distract himself, instead of caring about the severe pain in his knees, Chu Qingyan tried to think about other things.
For example, what is Big Ice Cube doing now? Are father and mother doing well in the Chu family? Will the Chu family embarrass their parents in this assassination incident? Have they found a breakthrough in this case
I can think a lot, it seems that because of this, time flies very fast.
One hour, two hours...
The temple door was still closed.
Everyone is a little desperate.
At this time, Eunuch Cao opened the door of the palace and came out, and Empress Liang asked him with her eyes.
Eunuch Cao sighed slightly, "The Empress, please come back. Your Majesty said that no matter how long you kneel here, I will never see you."
Empress Liang's face froze slightly, and she quickly covered it with a faint smile, "It seems that Your Majesty is really busy, so Eunuch Cao will send a message to this palace, state affairs are important, and Your Majesty must take care of yourself. "
As she spoke, she asked Luo Yun to help her stand up, staggering slightly in the meantime.
Chu Qingyan sighed slightly in her heart, this is the concubine by the emperor's side, even if she suffers, suffers grievances, and censures, she will greet her with a smile, because no matter what the emperor does, it is a gift.
Empress Liang looked a little tired and looked at Chu Qingyan, who was still kneeling, "You go back too, don't do useless work."
Chu Qingyan shook her head, "The Empress, please go back first, and then kneel for a while."
Empress Liang was exhausted physically and mentally at this time and couldn't handle much, so she asked Luo Yun to help her back to Chaoyang Palace.
Chu Qingyan bowed her head slightly, her knees had been rubbed and tingled painfully, and the white skirt that was close to her knees had already bloomed a little bit of plum blossoms. dazzling.
But Chu Qingyan couldn't care about anything anymore. Although her head was dizzy and her eyes were dizzy, she still didn't want to give up.
She has no superior family background, no martial arts, no ability to be feared or exploited, but she just wants to do her best to do something for the big ice.
Even if His Majesty didn't want to see her, he would always leave the palace, eat, and rest, so she was not afraid that he would not come out.
As soon as he came out, she would ask, how could she have the heart to wrong her son!
The sun was setting in the west, and the sky was full of rays of light, dyeing the sky and the earth orange. Chu Qingyan looked at the halo yellow on the ground and was indifferent.
At this moment, Eunuch Cao walked in front of her, bent over and said, "Miss Chu Jiu, Your Majesty will let you in."
