"I went to Tai Chi Palace. The Queen is indeed confident and smart." Shen Chuliu smiled.
This was by no means a cry for help. If she wanted to retreat in order to advance, or resort to bitter tactics, she should just give in and show that she could no longer be the queen.
Since I went to Tai Chi Palace, I must have gone to reason with the emperor.
After Shen Chuliu and others went to Fengzao Palace to sit down, not long after, the emperor and the queen came together.
After everyone paid their respects, they all wanted to stretch their ears to hear what the emperor had to say.
Qi Yixiu also knew what the people below wanted to hear, so he said: "This morning, the queen came to me."
Everyone looked at him, looked at the queen, and listened attentively.
"You must have heard about the Chao army's invasion. The queen is very uneasy and angry. The queen has been married to me for more than ten years. When the queen's biological father was alive, she and I, Dayi Chao, had always been on good terms. Now, This new emperor..."
Qi Yixiu shook his head: "There are also married women among the people who don't care about any trouble in the family. It's the Queen who is too worried. I didn't tell you yesterday. I just thought about you and I as husband and wife for many years. We should work together, so this kind of thing, There’s really no need to say it. It’s my lack of thinking that makes the Queen worried.”
The queen pressed the corner of her eyes with a handkerchief: "When I suddenly heard about such things, I was so panicked that I was confused. It's not my fault. It's not that I don't believe in the emperor, it's just... I feel really guilty. "
"The Queen is now the Queen of our Da Yi Dynasty. This status is noble. Even if the Queen is still in the country, she is just a princess and cannot be the emperor's mistress. What's more, the Queen has not returned in these years. In the past two years, she has been with the Dynasty. There is little contact with the country. These matters have nothing to do with the queen."
Qi Yixiu took the queen's hand and patted it: "When I ascended the throne, I announced to the world, the ancestral temple, and the ancestors that the queen was established. What's more, the queen and I are a young couple. I keep this affection in my heart. There is also a mistress."
The queen thanked the emperor with red eyes: "It's not my concubine's fault. I will definitely not think about this in the future. No matter how he is outside, I only need to take care of the harem and the children for the emperor."
"Thank you for your hard work, Queen." Qi Yixiu said with a smile.
"The Emperor and the Queen are deeply in love as husband and wife, which is also our blessing." Concubine Kande said with a smile.
"Yes, the Queen has been very kind to us over the years." Concubine Shun stood up and said.
Everyone said such words, and Shen Chuliu naturally also gave a few compliments.
Seeing this, Qi Yixiu was satisfied.
Shen Chuliu was mentioned again: "Jing Zhaoyi also knows, right? Your grandfather is probably out of the city right now. I also rely on Jing'an to wait."
"What the emperor said, my concubine's grandfather was a minister of the Dayi Dynasty. Before he grew old, he was also a general. Now he should have shared the emperor's worries. If the world was calm, there would be no need to say anything. Now when we need him , The family motto of men in the Shen family is to fight to the death. Although I am worried, I will never stop it."
"As expected, he is indeed the daughter of the Shen family. I have awarded him the rank of first-class general. Although he does not have to go to the battlefield, he still has to work hard." Qi Yixiu shook his head: "It is hard work after all."
Shen Chuliu smiled and looked at the queen and then the emperor: "If a war breaks out, my grandfather will definitely sacrifice his life. It's just that the concubine is a prostitute, and he can't bear to see the blood flow. In this war, the people of the two countries will suffer the most." Why… "
"Yes, in this war, I don't know how many good men will die, I don't know how many wives will lose their husbands, their children will lose their fathers, and their parents will lose their daughters." Wen Chongrong sighed.
Concubine Qianshu was full of words and did not dare to say anything. She could only contort her face and say a few nice words.
Qi Yixiu was satisfied. When he got up, he took Shen Chuliu away, saying that he was still serving the pen and ink.
When he arrived at the Tai Chi Palace, Shen Chuliu began to sharpen his ink. The emperor indeed had a lot to do.
For a whole morning, the emperor was too busy to raise his head.
Finally I solved all the things at hand, took a shower and laid out my lunch. The emperor was relieved.
After lunch and tea, Qi Yixiu smiled and said, "Are you tired from the whole morning, my beloved?"
"Fortunately, although I'm rubbing a lot of ink, I can rest, but the emperor's right hand is not stopping. Does it hurt? I'll rub it for you." Shen Chuliu said, and asked someone to bring some medicinal oil. The emperor rubbed his wrist.
Qi Yixiu looked at her and smiled: "What do you think of today's incident in Fengzao Palace?"
Shen Chu Liu paused: "What? I don't understand what the emperor means?"
Shen Chuliu showed doubts.
Qi Yixiu smiled: "I mean, what do you think of the imperial concubine's actions? Ordinarily, with my concubine's family background and character, as well as the fact that she gave birth to a prince, she is worthy of the position in the middle palace..."
"Your Majesty!" Shen Chuliu shouted loudly and threw his right hand away: "Your Majesty, why do you want to kill my concubine?"
"Having been in the palace for so many years, have I been disrespectful to the Emperor or to the Queen? When did I become unable to kneel down before the Queen? Or was it that I was not convinced when the Queen took care of me? "
"I think I follow the rules well. Even if I have a bad temper, I always abide by the etiquette of a concubine. After so many years of following the rules, I have made the emperor so suspicious! Your Majesty, my grandfather, uncle, uncle, sir. Brother is on the battlefield!"
Qi Yixiu was about to open his mouth, but was interrupted by Shen Chuliu: "My biological father died in the war! Your Majesty, I feel that I am not guilty of doing this Zhaoyi. The sixth prince is healthy and intelligent, what is the truth about this concubine?" What did you do wrong? Let the emperor treat you like this!"
Qi Yixiu…
"Forget it, I will go back to Cuiyunxuan now and wait for the emperor to get to know me with a glass of poisonous wine or a piece of white silk. I think I have committed such a heinous crime." After saying that, Shen Chuliu used his sleeves to understand me. Cover your eyes and run outside.
Chi Su and Ji Mei were so frightened that they hurried out. They both knelt down just now.
Shen Chuliu ran away, leaving behind the emperor and the people kneeling in the palace.
Qi Yixiu seemed to be in a good mood: "Still kneeling? Why don't you come over and rub my hands?"
Spring Equinox hurriedly responded, got up and came over to serve.
He also stood up on the fourth day of the lunar month: "Your Majesty... Is this servant going to invite Empress Zhaoyi to come back?"
"Tsk, she's so hot-tempered. If you go to invite her again, she'll think you're giving her poisoned wine." Qi Yixiu shook his head.
"Your Majesty, this is a misunderstanding by Empress Jing Zhaoyi. Your Majesty is just chatting..."
Qi Yixiu smiled, he knew whether chatting or testing, and so did Shen.
However, he originally thought that Shen would refuse.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Shen took the opportunity to give him a meal.
Qi Yixiu laughed: "However, what Jing Zhaoyi said is not bad. She has been well behaved in these years. I shouldn't have said these things."
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, she smiled and agreed, saying in her heart that Empress Jing Zhaoyi was absolutely right with you and the Queen.
This is the cleverness of Empress Jing Zhaoyi.
