The emperor did not call Lin Chujiu up immediately, but waited for a while before Shi Shiran spoke, letting Lin Chujiu flatten.
Lin Chujiu was not surprised at all about this. The emperor has always been like this. He can't compete with Xiao Tianyao in big matters. He likes to make things difficult for people in small matters, making people feel uncomfortable. Some air.
Compared with the emperor, the queen is much smarter. Without waiting for the emperor to say more, she said gently: "Come here, give me a seat."
The queen opened her mouth, the emperor would not refute, but his face was obviously more ugly. Lin Chujiu just glanced at it and knew that the emperor did not intend to let them sit down.
Standing and sitting, in the emperor's view, are the representatives of identity and power. It seems that when he is sitting, Xiao Tianyao can show his status by standing, but he does not know that doing so will only make people look down on him.
"Really..." Lin Chujiu shook her head secretly, not knowing what to say about their emperor.
Making things difficult for her and Xiao Tianyao over trivial matters can change anything
Apart from making Xiao Tianyao more dissatisfied, the emperor could not get any benefit. Only a fool would do such a detrimental thing.
The two took their seats one after another, and the queen said with a sweet smile, "The ninth day is for our women this time. I heard the emperor say something about the ninth day, and I couldn't admire it. If it wasn't for my health, I would want to be with you. Just go to the battlefield and do your best for Dongwen."
"The concubine couldn't be praised by the goddess. The concubine didn't think much about it at the time. I just heard that the prince was in danger and was worried, so I went to the front line regardless. The concubine originally went for the prince and had no other thoughts. The sage and the empress do not blame me for leaving the capital privately, and the concubine is grateful." The queen was polite, and Lin Chujiu would naturally give face.
If you want to be nice, you don't need money.
"As a court-ordered wife, it's really inappropriate to leave the capital privately." The queen spoke slowly, her tone was gentle, and she didn't mean to blame. The emperor frowned slightly and turned to look at her. That look was very suggestive, but the emperor looked like I didn't see the same, and continued: "Of course, you have made great contributions on the front line and saved the lives of countless soldiers. Without your private departure from Beijing, I don't know how many more sons I would have to die. Besides, you also leave Beijing privately. For the sake of King Xiao, your husband and wife are deeply in love, and I will only be happy as a sister-in-law, how can I be willing to punish you."
The queen took Lin Chujiu's private departure from Beijing with one word, and the emperor said in dissatisfaction, "Empress..."
"The sage also thinks I'm right?" The queen continued to pretend to be stupid and looked at the emperor with a smile on her face. The emperor was angry and angry, secretly blaming the queen for being ignorant. chance.
But in front of Xiao Tianyao, he couldn't directly tear his face, so he could only suppress his anger and nodded in agreement, "The Queen is right, although it is wrong for Princess Xiao to go out to the capital privately, but for the sake of her merit, she did not make a mistake. It will not be mentioned here.”
"Emperor Shengming." After receiving the emperor's affirmative answer, the queen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She was really afraid that the emperor would be stubborn again and beat Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu about leaving the capital privately.
Today is different from the past, they now have to hold Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu, beating will only accelerate Xiao Tianyao's rebellious psychology.
"On the ninth day, the emperor asked you to enter the palace today, one is to show your merits for you, and the other is to celebrate the celebration tomorrow. The Holy General gave me to preside over the celebration, but I am not good enough, and I don't know how long I can last tomorrow. I then proposed to the sage that you should enter the palace as early as possible tomorrow, help me entertain those decree ladies, and accept the visits of the decree ladies on my behalf." Things went well unexpectedly, and the queen was afraid of another incident, so she hurriedly brought up another matter.
It is definitely a compliment for Lin Chujiu to ask Lin Chujiu's wife to meet her. The queen thought that Lin Chujiu would definitely agree, but she didn't want Lin Chujiu to express her opinion, so Xiao Tianyao refused first, "No way."
"Don't Tianyao agree?" The queen who was bluntly rejected by Xiao Tianyao was not angry, but smiled and said, "Afraid that I will bully your daughter-in-law?"
This shows the Queen's scheming and methods, and with a simple sentence, the embarrassment brought by Xiao Tianyao was resolved.
"It's not suitable." Xiao Tianyao's words were succinct, without a single word. Thanks to the queen's calmness, she didn't get angry in the face of Xiao Tianyao's repeated provocations. Instead, she asked with a good temper, "Why is it inappropriate? Tomorrow's celebration banquet will also be the ninth day of the first year. Hero, if Tianyao thinks it is inappropriate for me to meet my wife in the ninth generation, let her accompany me to meet the wife, what do you think?"
"I think it's very good." In order not to let Xiao Tianyao refuse, the emperor echoed.
But I don't want to, the more this is the case, the more Xiao Tianyao will not agree, "No, this minister does not agree."
There is nothing to be courteous, and it is either a traitor or a thief. Xiao Tianyao didn't think that his imperial brother would suddenly change his mind and accept the fact that his power was above the imperial power.
If this were the case, there would be no meeting today.
"Give me a reason to disagree!" The emperor was unhappy, his tone was no longer the same as before, and he could clearly hear the smell of gunpowder.
It's a pity that Xiao Tianyao didn't take it seriously, looked at the emperor with a cold face, and said nothing. The emperor would not let him, the two looked at each other with murderous aura.
Lin Chujiu sighed secretly, and before the two broke out, she spoke first, "Your Majesty, the lord does not agree with this matter because he thinks it is inappropriate. The concubine is only a princess, let alone accepting the appointment of the wife on behalf of the queen, is to accompany her. It's not up to the concubine to meet with the empress. The empress is unwell and needs someone to accompany her, so you can ask Concubine Zhou to accompany her."
Just as Xiao Tianyao thought, Lin Chujiu didn't think that the emperor and the queen would let her stay by the queen's side for no reason, and there might be some calculations tomorrow. Rather than wasting energy and fighting wits and courage with the queen, it is better to push Concubine Zhou out and let them fight on their own.
"The imperial concubine has other things to do tomorrow, so I can't get away." The emperor refused indifferently, withdrew his gaze that confronted Xiao Tianyao, and swept towards Lin Chujiu.
Lin Chujiu looked at her calmly and said respectfully, "Concubine Zhou can't get away, and Miss Zhou. Empress Empress, what do you think?" She really didn't know anything when she just returned to Beijing.
The queen's face changed slightly, and the smile at the corner of her mouth froze for a moment before returning to normal. She blamed half-truths: "The ninth day is still the same, and she pushed others out to avoid being lazy, and she doesn't seem to be more diligent when she is married."
"I've always been lazy, and I ask the empress to be considerate." Lin Chujiu followed the empress's words and pushed the matter more cleanly.
Lazy is lazy, her family, Xiao Wangye, is not afraid of the emperor, and she is also afraid that the queen will fail.
The Queen's evaluation of her does not affect her life.
"You really don't want to accompany me tomorrow on the ninth day?" The queen's face changed slightly, and her tone was a little unnatural.
Rao is as calm as a queen, facing Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu's repeated rejections, he couldn't help but get angry.
"I have been separated from the lord for many days. I want to accompany the lord more in the past few days. I also ask the empress to forgive me." Lin Chujiu said apologizing, but there was no sign of apologizing, and he still sat there firmly. , did not reject the unease or pride of a king and queen of a country at all.
It seems that in her eyes, rejecting the emperor and the queen is a normal thing...
