It was pouring rain outside, and the sky water hit the ground, creating a layer of water mist, shrouding Haotang Gongyu in a mist.
Inside the scarlet palace, Queen Qi was looking at the young man in front of him angrily: "Didn't I tell you to come again after the rain stopped, why are you here now?"
"My mother's summons, how dare my sons delay it."
The little queen Qi was still reproachful, but her eyes showed joy: "You! It's not a big deal for the queen mother to call you here, I just want to discuss it with you..."
Before Xiao Qi could finish his words, there was a sudden noise from outside the house, and the rain dripping from the eaves smashed water flowers on the slate.
There seemed to be a palace servant hurriedly saying something outside the door of the shop. Queen Qi and King Lu looked at each other in surprise, and they all stood up.
"Prince?" Queen Qi looked at the person in surprise, "What are you doing?"
Qin Yi stood at the gate of the palace with the light on his back, the magnificent palace behind him and the pouring rain turned into the background. He was the only one who was tall and slender, cutting through the gray rain curtain like a sharp sword, and the whole palace seemed to be brighter because of this.
Xu was in a hurry, and Qin Yi was still carrying water vapor. Lan Yu stood behind Qin Yi with a hesitant expression on his face, as if he wanted to stop Qin Yi, but he didn't succeed.
"What am I doing, does the queen really not know?"
Xiao Qi frowned, she vaguely noticed an unusual breath. Qin Yi obviously didn't care about Xiao Qi's answer either. He took two steps towards the palace slowly, glanced at the palace maids and eunuchs standing around him, and asked, "Which one fell the ice cube and spilled the soup? Which one is it?"
Lan Yu's body trembled slightly when she heard this, and then she realized that the prince came here to ask for guilt.
"Don't tell me? I'm ineffective, and I'm still covering up the slaves." Qin Yi's eyes were condescending, but his voice was suddenly cold, "Isn't anyone admitting it yet?"
The palace maids and eunuchs just now couldn't bear it any longer, and knelt down with a plop: "Prince, spare your life, it's a clumsy servant who bumped into the crown prince."
The maids in the palace all bowed their heads in horror. When Xiao Qi saw this scene, he was furious: "Prince, this is the palace's phoenix palace, what do you mean?"
"So you still know that you are the queen." Qin Yi turned around and looked at Xiao Qi sarcastically, "I thought that the queen couldn't even manage the people in her own palace."
Lan Yu broke out in a cold sweat unknowingly. She took a deep breath and stepped forward to salute Qin Yi: "His Royal Highness, these palace maids today are clumsy and accidentally bumped into the crown princess. , Your Highness, please forgive me."
"One can't even hold the bowl, and these ice-carrying people can even spill the ice cubes. In the forbidden palace, if you can't even do this, then you need your eyes and your hands. What's the use?" Qin Yi's eyes were cold, and the words he said made people feel a chill from the bottom of his heart, "Since the queen's discipline is not good, I will discipline you. Come and drag them down."
The few people who were kneeling on the ground were shocked when they heard this. Those who let the Crown Prince do it would have no good end. They didn't care that the harem would not make noise, they crawled towards Xiao Qi with their hands and feet on the ground, and shouted incoherently. : "Empress Empress, spare your life, His Royal Highness, spare your life, Empress Empress, save the slaves!"
But before they could climb to Xiao Qi's side, their arms were put up. The eunuchs who did it had obviously practiced internal kung fu.
After Xiao Qi clenched his palm tightly, it was self-evident to whom Qin Yi did this. King Lu couldn't stand it anymore, and said angrily: "Prince, don't be too arrogant, this is still in the palace of the queen mother, the queen mother is the queen, are you not afraid of being known by the father and emperor?"
Hearing this, Qin Yi just chuckled, and the laughter was clearly heard in King Lu's ears: "You are all going to get married and marry a wife, and you even moved out of the emperor when something happened, you are really promising. "
King Lu was furious, and the blue veins on his hands suddenly burst out: "You..."
"King Lu!" Queen Qi shouted loudly, stopped King Lu, and then looked at Qin Yi coldly, "Prince is really majestic, people in this palace, you can deal with them if you want. The emperor rules the world with filial piety, Are you not afraid of being ridiculed by the world if you bully the king like this and don’t respect your aunt?”
"Don't put gold on your face. My mother is Empress Wenxiao. She is the original wife of the three-match and nine-employee, and I tell the world. What are you?"
Xiao Qi Hou suddenly choked. She was five months pregnant when she entered the palace. The ceremony of conferring the queen was naturally simple and simple. She almost put on a phoenix crown and entered the palace directly in a car. The grand post-confession ceremony is completely incomparable. This is the pain of Xiao Qi for many years. She originally thought that the winner is the king. As long as she becomes the queen and is a taboo for the Venerable, who would dare to mention the events of the past. In fact, this matter is indeed avoided by everyone, but who can guarantee that once they turn around, what will these people say about her? And people with higher status, such as Qin Yi, Chu Jinyao, and even an old man like Concubine Shu, dared to look down on her.
Xiao Qi was extremely angry, but calmed down. She straightened her sleeves and smiled frivolously at Qin Yi: "It turns out that the prince still remembers the things of the past, but who made Ben Gong the queen now."
Who can't step on other people's painful feet, it's just to see who is more shameless.
Queen Xiao Qi was so shameless, Qin Yi looked at Queen Qi with disdain, but he just glanced at her and then turned his eyes, it seemed that his eyes were dirty when he looked at her again.
Qin Yi said: "With you, you are also worthy of the position of the middle palace. It's not that no one knows about the dirty things you have done over the years, but you are just too lazy to care about you. But you shouldn't, no, no It's time to put your mind on her. Empress, you should be thankful that nothing happened to Jin Yao today, or else the person standing here should be the ancestral mansion. You have all the evidence that you murdered the emperor's heir. If the matter is known to the clan's mansion and the cabinet, even if the emperor wants to protect you, he may not be able to keep it. I advise you to recite the Buddha's incense every day, and bless the princess to be safe. If she has any problems, where do you climb from? Come up and go back to where you are."
Queen Qi was angry at Qin Yi's scorn, but was also shocked by the threat of Qin Yi's voice: "You dare! The emperor clearly ordered..."
Qin Yi laughed, the sarcasm in it was undisguised. Xiao Qi also realized later that his thoughts were too naive.
It is true that the emperor issued a forbidden order that they were not allowed to spread the matter. The servants who were there that day were nothing more than the servants present, but who is Qin Yi, how could he care about this mere password
According to Qin Yi's words, he concealed this matter because he gave the emperor face, but if Qin Yi really did not care about his feelings and exposed this matter regardless, would the emperor still abolish him for this kind of thing? At most, Qin Yi was reprimanded or banned for a few days, but after Xiao Qi, it was all over, and the public opinion of the people and the spittle on the court could drown her alive.
Heavenly family is selfless, the harem and the emperor's heir are never the emperor's business alone.
Queen Xiao Qi clearly knew that Qin Yi was not such a pointless person, but she did not dare to gamble. If Qin Yi really released news, or even secretly pushed public opinion, when the time came to crusade, what would Queen Qi do, rely on Emperor? Even if the emperor can save her life, can she keep her queen position
Xiao Qi was so angry that her whole body trembled, but it was as if her throat was being strangled, and she couldn't say a word. Seeing that his mother was humiliated, King Lu was furious and wanted to rush up to reason with Qin Yi.
But he is only a fifteen-year-old boy, and the son-in-law in the capital follows him and holds him, but in front of the eldest brother who is in charge of the government and the young man joins the army, what kind of capital is there to compete? King Lu was easily restrained by the eunuch beside Qin Yi. King Lu, a legitimate and passionate young man, had no power to fight back against a group of rootless eunuchs. Qin Yi looked at King Lu with contempt, as if he was looking at an ignorant boy: "King Lu should also marry a concubine, so that's fine, so you don't have to be like a child who hasn't been weaned, and you will be around your biological mother every day. , which prince in the palace is like you."
After Xiao Qi saw his precious son being restrained, his eyes were almost split: "Bold, who gave you the courage to attack King Lu? And you, are you all blind? Why don't you hurry up and kill this group of unclean people? The eunuch!"
In the harem, even scolding people should pay attention to being decent and elegant. Xiao Qi later used such indecent words, which shows how strong her hatred for Qin Yi is. But a swearing word doesn't hurt or itches, Qin Yi doesn't care. He just waved his hand lightly, and the well-trained eunuch released King Lu and respectfully retreated behind Qin Yi. Qin Yi looked at Xiao Qi and rushed to King Lu's side. The mother and son hugged each other as if they were reborn after a catastrophe. Seeing this, he smiled lightly and said, "There is still a lot of evidence in Gu's hands. If the queen wants to know, you can try it."
After Qin Yi finished speaking, he didn't bother to look at the mother and son again, and turned around and walked out. When he was about to go out, he suddenly stopped, facing the mighty rain outside the house, and said, "The people in the Queen's Palace can't even handle such trivial things as serving bowls, so I think they won't serve people, the crown princess is precious. , I won't come to greet you in the future."
The heavy rain was fierce, and it wasn't until the sunset that the sound of the pattering outside the house finally subsided, and it was faintly silent.
As the rain fell, the palace maids and eunuchs who were in charge of inquiring about the news were finally able to travel as usual, and the news in the palace was circulated.
The queen asked the princess to make soup with her own hands, the princess fainted in the rain, and the prince went to the middle palace in the rain.
"Prince Princess fainted?"
"Yes." The imperial eunuch looked at the emperor's face carefully, and said carefully, "Most women are frail and afraid of the cold. It is possible that the crown princess has been waiting in the rain for so long, and she can't hold her breath for a while."
The emperor sighed and shook his head: "It's been so many years, and she's still like this." When she was young, she felt that Xiao Qi's love for top-notch and jealousy was a girlish attitude, but when she was a mother, she was still so small and naive, she was too naive.
The eunuch didn't dare to talk, the emperor sees you well when everything is good, but once the emperor's mind changes, the advantage of strong affection becomes a disadvantage.
The emperor sighed for a while, but still felt that today's incident was outrageous, not only after Xiao Qi, but also Qin Yi was too arrogant. Even if Empress Qi is unkind as a mother, she is also the empress of the middle palace, the emperor's wife, and should be dispatched by the emperor. As a son and crown prince, Qin Yi is a descendant and abusive. What does this look like
The emperor looked at the incense burner at the corner of the table in silence, the eunuch lowered his eyes, and even his breathing was deliberately quiet. For a time, the only sound of rain outside the hall could be heard. After a while, the emperor seemed to sigh and said: "I came to the palace because I felt that the Forbidden City was stuffy, so I brought everyone out to get some air, but it turned out that an accident happened to the concubine and the princess, and it was even less stable than the palace. After this rain, the weather must be getting colder, so you can send the order and let the Ministry of Rites prepare and return to the palace on another day."
