It's not that the empress doesn't believe her daughter, it's just that all this is too unbelievable, it's just a dream, if it's not true, wouldn't they have wronged Concubine Li
Thinking of Concubine Li's eyes full of autumn water, and her calm and peaceful appearance, the queen hesitated.
The queen is a woman brought up by a wealthy family. She has excellent manners and good character. She has been in the palace for so many years. Although she only has a daughter like Princess Luohe under her knees, the queen has never given birth to the sons raised by other concubines. Poisonous hands, as long as the harem women are pregnant, they can give birth safely.
In the harem managed by the empress, although the concubines would fight each other in order to get the emperor's favor, there were not many insidious means. In the past twenty years, no concubine died for no reason.
No matter whether the concubines in the harem are favored or not, life will not be too sad, because the queen has clear rewards and punishments, and when she learns that there are those who watch people serve food, or bully others, and humiliate concubines, they will immediately order to be killed.
The queen is a kind person, so she has a good impression of Concubine Li, and she doesn't want to doubt Concubine Li. She doesn't believe that a woman who is gentle and has directly or indirectly helped many low-ranking concubines is a woman full of cunning and scheming.
"Xin'er, maybe there is some misunderstanding, your dream may not be accurate..."
Knowing that her mother was kind and Princess Luoyang did not persecute the queen, she thought about it and found a compromise.
"Since the queen mother doesn't want to hurt Concubine Li, then find something for Concubine Li to keep her busy. I don't have to let the queen mother attack Concubine Li. I just want to stop her from serving the sick. This heart is uneasy, and I always feel that everything in my dream will happen... "
When she said this, Princess Luoyang seemed to be frightened. She lowered her eyes, looked at the peonies embroidered on her clothes, and said softly: "Mother, I don't want to marry to a foreign race... And if Concubine Li It's really the same, how could the sixth prince raised by her have such a personality?"
After hearing what Princess Luoyang said, the queen fell silent. Concubine Li is very good, this is something everyone in the harem admits, but the six princes born by Concubine Li have completely opposite personalities.
He was a young man with a domineering personality. He lived a flamboyant life and had a passionate personality. When he was still living in the palace, the sixth prince and several other princes were studying in the study room. He grew up with him when he was young, only the companion of the sixth prince was not. His companion would not stay with him for long, and he would be driven away by the sixth prince for various reasons. None of the people among them was willing to send their children to be the companion of the sixth prince.
Even if you are the Ninth Five-Year Honor, there is absolutely no reason to force the ministers to send their children to the palace to be accompanied by the sixth prince. So in the end, among the many princes, only the sixth prince did not have a companion.
Because he knew that no one was willing to read with him, the sixth prince was furious afterwards and kept making troubles in Zhaoyang Palace. This is something that everyone in the harem knows. Many eunuchs and maids in Zhaoyang Palace were injured that day. .
After the emperor knew about this, he was furious and wanted to punish the sixth prince, but Concubine Li couldn't bear to punish her own child, so she finally let go of her figure and arrogance, and used her beautiful appearance to confuse the emperor.
In the end, the emperor let the sixth prince go, but his love for Concubine Li was much less, and the number of times he went to Concubine Li's palace after that also became much less, obviously he felt disgusted with Concubine Li.
Concubine Li didn't have any other emotions because of the emperor's estrangement. She always had a calm appearance, and patiently taught the sixth prince. Later, as she got older, the sixth prince's temper restrained a lot, although he was still a bit flamboyant. , but it is much better than the irritable appearance before.
It's just that his previous fierce and domineering appearance was remembered by the empress. The child's eyes made people feel very uncomfortable. The empress had a good impression of Concubine Li, but it was difficult to have any affection for the sixth prince, even if the sixth prince changed later It's been a long time, and the queen can't forget the look in the eyes of the sixth prince when he looked at her.
After hesitating for a while, the empress finally chose to trust her daughter, left and right are not a big deal, just find something for Concubine Li to keep her busy, if the emperor is sick, she will not be able to take care of her illness, that's all, left and right won't hurt to her.
"I'll listen to you this time, but we've agreed, if this time it's not what you said, you'll forget about the dream you just mentioned, and don't mention the things in your dream again. If your father finds out, he will be unhappy."
Princess Luohe nodded and agreed.
She didn't think those things wouldn't happen, that dream clearly showed the future, and before it changed, those things in the future would definitely happen one by one.
After convincing her mother, Princess Luohe breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Concubine Li doesn't go to serve her sick, she won't be pregnant, and she won't be able to take the position of Concubine Li, and Concubine Li will always be just an ordinary concubine Forget it, there is no big storm coming.
The queen mother is in charge of various matters in the harem, so Princess Luohe doesn't have to worry too much, but the queen mother can't intervene in the matters of the previous court.
Princess Luohe's fingers involuntarily wrapped around the palace sash tied around her waist, and her fingers wrapped the palace sash round and round around her hands, but a picture of a handsome as bright as a white girl involuntarily appeared in her mind. The face of the month.
She froze for a moment, her eyes flashed involuntarily.
People like the sixth prince should be the most disliked by King Xin. Why did he choose to support the sixth prince in the end? Is there something in it that she doesn't know
"Xin'er, Xin'er, what are you thinking? I called you a few times, but you didn't respond."
When Princess Luohe was distracted, the queen looked at her daughter worriedly, and after shouting a few times, Princess Luohe finally came back to her senses.
"It's nothing. The yam cake in the queen's palace is the best. My daughter is hungry and wants to eat some. Can the queen ask someone to make it for her?"
Princess Luohe, who came back to her senses, changed the topic. She reached out and grabbed the queen's sleeve, gently tugged it, and deliberately said in a coquettish tone.
The queen's mind was really distracted by Princess Luohe, she smiled, stretched out her hand and tapped Princess Luohe's nose, and said with a smile.
"Little greedy cat, you just know how to eat, so I'll ask someone to make it for you."
As she spoke, the queen raised her voice and shouted, and the palace people came in from the outside quickly. She ordered the people in the small kitchen to prepare yam cakes for Princess Luohe.
Seeing her mother's lively appearance, Princess Luohe's heart softened, and she couldn't help but threw herself into the arms of the queen, clinging to her arms like a child and acting like a baby.
"The queen mother is the best."
"How old are you, and you are still acting like a baby in the arms of your mother, and you are not afraid of being laughed at, so why don't you get up quickly."
Princess Luohe didn't get up, but hugged the queen's waist even tighter: "I won't get up, in front of the queen, I will always be a child."
Seeing her daughter acting like a coquettish fool, how could the queen have the heart to criticize her? In her own palace, the queen did not overly criticize Princess Luohe's rules. She patted Princess Luohe's head and said in a warm voice.
"Okay, okay, there's really nothing I can do about you."
Princess Luohe smelled the faint fragrance of orchids on her mother's body, and the coldness accumulated in her heart slowly dissipated a lot.

Qi Wang hadn't been to the court for a long time, and he went to court abruptly. The emperor sitting on the dragon chair looked at Qi Wang who was wearing an official robe and standing in front of all the officials, and there was a bit of novelty in his eyes.
Since my fellow brother came back from the border, he has become a lot more lazy. In the beginning, he would come to the court to check his presence every now and then, but he didn't know when he started. No more, the emperor asked him to ask in the palace, but Qi Wang plausibly said that Yinshi went to court too early, which delayed his sleep, he was just a general, and when there was no war, he was just a mascot. Standing in the hall for so long, wasting time in vain, it would be better to sleep at home.
Since the emperor put his complete trust in Qi Wang, Qi Wang has become a lot more lazy in front of the emperor, and his words are not as careful as in the past, and he has become very casual, and the emperor also likes Qi Wang very much. This attitude made him feel that the relationship between the two brothers was still the same as in the past, and nothing had changed.
So when Qi Wang said that it was because he couldn't get up in the morning and didn't want to waste time in court, the emperor didn't get angry, but directly granted Qi Wang's request and allowed him not to go to court.
The other officials didn't have any meaning to the emperor's impolite regulations.
In fact, their emperor often made many decisions willfully, and they would not deliberately confront the emperor on some innocuous matters.
Counting the time, Qi Wang has not appeared in the court for nearly a year. In addition, he lives in seclusion on weekdays, and many officials have almost forgotten what Qi Wang looks like. Now that he appeared suddenly, the court The officials in the hall even felt a sense of bewilderment.
Everyone exchanged glances very cryptically, and all guessed the reason why Qi Wang suddenly appeared here.
"There is a book to play, and there is nothing to retreat..."
The long court meeting was about to end, and when the eunuch shouted these words in a shrill voice, Qi Wang, who had been standing in front of the officials but didn't speak, suddenly stepped forward and said in a deep voice.
"Report to the emperor, my minister has a copy of the instructions."
As he said that, Qi Wang took out a memorial from his cuff as if juggling, and presented it to the emperor respectfully.
Qi Wang hadn't shown his sense of existence for a long time, and now he suddenly said that he had to report something, the other ministers looked a little strange, and they all looked at Qi Wang, wanting to know what he was going to say in the paper.
The emperor nodded to the eunuch next to him, motioning him to bring up the notebook.
After opening the booklet, the emperor read the booklet at a glance, and when he saw the contents of the booklet clearly, the emperor's face changed instantly.
"Trash, there's a snowstorm in Shucheng, why no one reported it?!"
Qi Huang's book wrote about the snowstorm in Shucheng. A month ago, there was a blizzard in Shucheng. The houses in Shucheng collapsed, causing countless casualties. Shucheng was not a rich place. At that time, they opened granaries to keep the people, but the food in the granaries in Shucheng was limited, and the charcoal fires and clothing were not enough, and they couldn't eat enough every day. Did not wait for the court to rescue.
"Recently, the weather in Shucheng has suddenly warmed up. The corpses of the people who were frozen to death before have nowhere to stay. The epidemic has already broken out in Shucheng. If it is not contained, Yuncheng and Yuncheng near Shucheng will be affected. "
The words Qi Wang said were not alarmist. Although Shucheng is not rich, but because of its special location, it is located on a traffic artery, and many people who go to Yuncheng Yuncheng will use Shucheng as an excuse.
There is a large flow of people here, and if a plague breaks out, it will easily be brought to the other two cities. Yuncheng and Yuncheng are cities with a large population base. If the plague breaks out, the consequences will be disastrous.
As soon as Qi Wang's words came out, the expressions of everyone in the hall changed instantly.
In fact, not all the memorials were read by the emperor. Many of the memorials were screened by the officials below, and then the important memorials were submitted to the emperor for approval. However, the situation in Shucheng was already very dangerous at this time, and the emperor did not read it. When it comes to the memorial, this is obviously an extremely abnormal thing, and it must be the people from the Secretary of General Affairs who suppressed the memorial.
The reason why Qi Wang knew about this matter was not because of his investigation, but because he got the news from the memory of the original owner, but in the original plot, the original owner knew about this matter very late, and the plague in Shucheng completely broke out , Even the two cities of Yuncheng and Yuncheng were affected, and the people were killed and injured countless times. Even if the imperial court sent people there, it took a long time to completely contain the plague.
This matter is entirely the result of the game between several major factions in the court. The three cities of Shucheng Yuncheng and Yuncheng are far away from the capital. Even if the plague breaks out, it will not affect the capital, so those Only people are so unscrupulous, and they regard this matter that concerns the people as a pawn in the game.
The officials of those different factions fought with each other, regardless of the life and death of the people in the three cities. Because of this incident, a large number of officials were dragged down. The winning side was naturally very happy, while the losing side was also full of regrets, feeling that they Skills are not as good as people.
But among these people, none of the officials felt that they had done something wrong. They were proud of achieving their goals, and they gave some money and food afterwards, doing enough charity. The surviving people even expressed their gratitude to these officials. But they didn't know that the matter would not have developed to this point, and those dead people were nothing but flags in their eyes.
Now that the matter has not developed to the worst step, Qi Wang directly revealed this matter, and the emperor will naturally decide what to do next.
Although the emperor is very suspicious and doesn't trust these officials, there is no doubt that he is a good emperor, and he will definitely find out when it comes to the people's livelihood.
Qi Wang just revealed this matter, but did not participate in it. The subsequent development of the matter is all decided by the emperor, and he just needs to wait for the result.
****
But in the blink of an eye, half a month passed, and soon it was time for Princess Shao'an to hold a banquet.
All the clothes in Qi Wang's cabinet were changed by Yuan Wu. On the day of the banquet, Qi Wang chose a crimson dress to wear on his body, and matched it with the white fox fur cloak. Like a handsome young man.
Yuan Wu excitedly turned around Qi Wang, his face was full of joy.
"My lord, the servant is right, you are the most suitable for these bright colors. After wearing it, the servant will not dare to recognize you."
After hearing Yuan Wu's words, Qi Huang smiled slightly, and said lightly: "Why don't you dare to admit it? Could it be possible that after wearing this clothes, this king can become another immature?"
Yuan Wu shook his head, and said seriously: "Your lord looks like a handsome young man in this dress. Now you are facing the wind, and you are elegant. I can guarantee that no one will be better than the lord at the whole banquet. The princes of the family will definitely be suppressed by you."
Yuan Wu didn't say these words to compliment Qi Wang, but because their lord's appearance was already outstanding. In the past, he was overwhelmed by the dark clothes, and he was full of elegance. He was still young, but he preferred to dress calmly. , the originally very elegant demeanor was also suppressed to five points, now that he changed his clothes, it was like a different person, like an old tree in spring, glowing with a strong vitality.
In his heart, he felt that it would be great if the lord remained as he is now. His lord is the best person in the world, and he deserves to be seen by others. Knowing the lord is not as rumored.
It would be great if the prince can marry another wife based on his appearance, then those rumors will be self-defeating.
Seeing him like this, Qi Huang couldn't help but laugh, thinking that Yuan Wu's character is very interesting, he is obviously already twenty-seven years old, and he is the father of two children, but he still has some youthful innocence in him brilliant.
It's not going to participate in the beauty pageant, why is he so obsessed with the fact that he dominates others
"Let's go, if you go late, I'm afraid Eldest Sister will be unhappy."
