He smiled and said, "I've been waiting for you for a long time, so I plan to follow me to greet my mother. Who knows that I'll meet a boldly chosen girl who ignores the rules and dares to slander the queen with me."
"Oh?" Qu Qing Ju smiled as she watched Wei Zhu tremble even more, "I wonder what Miss Wei said about Ben Gong?"
Wei Zhu was shivering with fright. She was originally unhappy that a woman like Qu Qingju would be the queen, but she only said a few words, and the emperor became angry. Can't tell.
"If Miss Wei doesn't want to talk, this palace will not embarrass you, come here..."
"Empress Empress, do you remember two years ago?" Wei Zhu raised her head, smelling like a broken jar. "At that time, my aunt and my grandfather made a verbal promise. Do you still have an impression?"
When Qian Changxin heard this, he motioned for the palace people to retreat, leaving only a few people who served the emperor and the queen closely. I don't know what this woman will say when she is crazy. Since the emperor and the queen didn't tell her to shut up, he can only tell the people below to not listen.
"You said that two years ago, my grandmother and my uncle intended for Ben Gong to have a kiss with your brother?" Qu Qing Ju was rather generous, she shook her fan and stared at Wei Zhu with eyes like a fool, and said in a surprised tone, "Ben Gong is very generous. The palace has such a good husband as the emperor, how can you still remember this kind of invisible thing, by the way, what is your brother's name?"
What about my empress, why did you say it so poignantly? What does this make the emperor think? Mujin looked at the emperor nervously, only to see the smile on the emperor's face, she was confused at the moment, did something happen that she didn't know
Although he was a little annoyed after hearing that the Qu family intended to let Qu Qing Ju marry into the Wei family, He Heng was quickly relieved by what Qu Qing Ju said later. This is right, with a man as good as him, what else are other men
What's more, the marriage between Qing Ju and the Wei family was only mentioned, and it wasn't really settled, so he wouldn't take anger at Qing Ju for such a trivial matter.
According to the Qu family's attitude towards Qing Ju, he did not believe that Mrs. Qu was trying to be nice to Qing Ju. Thinking of the generous dowry that Qu Qing Ju brought when she married into the palace, He Heng sneered, it must be to plot the dowry that Tian Shi left to Qing Ju back then. Thinking of this, he coldly glanced at Wei Zhu, who was kneeling on the ground, "It's so daring to smear the Queen with a mouth full of nonsense!"
Wei Zhu heard the dissatisfaction in the emperor's tone, and hurriedly said: "Please show the emperor's knowledge that the people's daughter's words are true. If it wasn't for the marriage granted by the emperor, the aunt would have agreed to the Wei family's proposal."
"Since the marriage contract has not yet been concluded, it naturally shows that it is God's will that I and the Queen are together. You deliberately mentioned these things in front of me, are you trying to destroy the Queen's reputation?!" He Heng's voice became more and more serious, and he said sharply, "Wei Shi The family style of the daughter is not upright, the rules are not strict, and it is my will that all members of the royal family of the Dalong Dynasty should not accept Wei's daughter as a wife and concubine, and Wei's daughter will never be able to send a daughter to the palace."
As soon as this decree came out, it was like breaking the road to Qingyun for the Wei family. Qu Qing Ju looked at the expressionless He Heng, turned her head with a smile, and her eyes fell on Wei Zhu, who was slumped to the ground.
"Drag it down, reward forty big boards and send them back to the Wei family," He Heng held Qu Qingju's hand and said coldly, "In the future, if a woman chooses to walk around in the palace at will, she will be expelled from the palace after being punished for forty. ."
A woman who was beaten and sent out of the palace by the emperor's order, don't want to marry in this life. Seeing Wei Zhu being dragged down by the eunuch, Qu Qing Ju sighed, "I just became a queen from an unwelcome direct daughter, so I can't tolerate the eyes of others.
"Let people like this come to me and slander you, these people treat me as a fool," He Heng supported the silver-horned hairpin on her temples, his tone was extraordinarily gentle, "Don't be upset for this kind of person, go and accompany me Go take a nap."
Qu Qing Ju smiled, "With the emperor here, why should I hurt? The emperor is wise and wise, peerless, and will last forever."
"Isn't my future generations also yours?" He Heng smiled and took Qu Qingju back to the apse of Tianqi Palace in a good mood. As for what happened just now...
With such a good man as him, Qing Ju still thinks about others? !
Qian Changxin and Mujin met their eyes, and at the same time saw a feeling of emotion in each other's eyes, and then followed silently.
"Women from the Wei family were kicked out of the palace?" He Yuan kicked away the eunuch who was pressing his knees. These days, he often went to Shoukang Palace to kneel to pray for the emperor's blessing, and his knees were prematurely blue.
"This king's elder brother is really infatuated with the queen, and he can even endure this kind of thing," he sneered. "He's a good trick. It only took a long time for him to subdue the people at the top."
Hearing this, Gao Duo, who was standing at the bottom, hesitated for a while before saying: "My lord, now the form is stronger than the human being, why don't we stay put and wait for a good time?"
"Good timing?" He Yuan sneered, "Now this king's people in the upper court have been suppressed to a certain extent, and the eldest's people have long been in the new emperor's faction. Among the several ministers used by the father emperor, Tian Jinke and Luo Changqing He has a close relationship with the Empress and will naturally support the new emperor wholeheartedly. As for people like Wei Wenguang and Lu Jinghong, he is a new royalist faction without the new emperor using any means. The imperial edict of the emperor's Zen throne was drawn up in front of several ministers, and the seal was made by him. Guy, what do you think this king has a good time for?"
Gao Duo didn't expect King Rui to see the reality so clearly, he hesitated and said, "Since that's the case, why don't you take good care of the emperor, so that the emperor can't target you again."
"People like He Heng are more beautiful on the face than anyone else, and there are few people who can be as ruthless," He Yuan was originally a very arrogant person, but in just two months, he was half suppressed by reality. His arrogance, "Even if this king submits to him, he will not be very close to this king. Besides, this king doesn't want to hold him," he twitched the corner of his mouth coldly, "This king can't see him well."
Gao Duo glanced at He Yuan silently, what kind of spirit is this kind of troublesome behavior
"What should the people of the Wei family do now?" He hesitated. "The emperor is more affectionate to the queen than Jin Jian. The Wei family's method is just self-inflicted humiliation. What should you do if they ask the prince?"
He Yuan sneered and said, "At first, they begged for this king's help, but now they are stupid and mess up the matter, so what are they to do with this king." After speaking, he summoned He Fu'er, "If the Wei family comes to the door in the future, they will not be seen. "
"Yes," He Fuer said after hesitating for a moment, "Your Highness, the concubine Qu from the west side hospital is seriously ill. Would you like to post a message to the imperial hospital and hire an imperial physician to see the concubine."
"What do you ask me to do for such a matter that the princess is in charge of?" He Yuan waved his hand impatiently, obviously not caring about the people in the west side courtyard.
He Fuer immediately understood that it was precisely because the princess didn't care that he took Yaoxi's benefits to beg the prince. Seeing this, the one in the west courtyard was out of favor, and he would not have to worry about it in the future.
As a guest, Gao Duo naturally closed his mouth when he heard the matter in the prince's backyard, and waited for He Fu'er to step back before saying, "My lord, I heard that you have a side concubine who is the queen's sister. I wonder if that is the one?"
He Yuan didn't understand what Gao Duo meant: "It's really her, but the Queen and the Qu family have a bad relationship, and this Qu family is useless."
Gao Duo smiled: "Since that's the case, please forgive your subordinates for saying something overreaching, the lord really shouldn't treat Concubine Qu side too well, otherwise in the eyes of others, you will think that you are doing justice to the Qu family, and the emperor will All the more reason to target you."
He Yuan waved his hand and said, "It's just a thing, this king doesn't think so much for her."
Gao Duo smiled and bowed, "Your Highness, see you."
☆、92 · Karma
"Master," Yao Xi helped Qu Yuesu up on the bed with red eyes, and when she sat firmly, she turned around and picked up the steaming medicine bowl on the table, "Drink the medicine."
Qu Yuesu sat weakly leaning against the bed, saw Yaoxi's scalded hand when he took the medicine bowl, and smiled bitterly: "It was I who implicated you, you have been by my side all these years, why have you ever done this. "Even if she didn't see it, she knew that Yaoxi had found a place to cook the medicine. Now that the prince doesn't come to her yard, and the princess looks unpleasant at her everywhere, who cares about her in the house, even the servants in this yard." Even dare to cheat and play tricks, pointing to Sang and scolding Huai, not to mention the people in the kitchen.
"Master, what did you say?" Yaoxi forced a smile and put her scalded hands into her sleeves, "Hurry up and drink the medicine, just get some sleep." Thinking of what Manager He said just now, her The smile is almost unbearable, and now even the prince is unwilling to help the master, how should I live in the future
Qu Yuesu drank the medicine in the bowl in a few sips. Seeing Yaoxi's appearance, he sighed, "Yaoxi, do you remember my father's birthday banquet five years ago?"
Yaoxi took the empty bowl from Qu Yuesu's hand and shook her head slightly.
"It's normal that you don't remember, but my memory is still fresh," Qu Yuesu smiled bitterly, "I accidentally broke a piece of china in my father's house. It was my father's birthday that day, and it was bad luck to break something. Deliberately tricked someone to lead the eldest sister to my father's house..."
Yaoxi remembered this when she heard this. She remembered that after the master's birthday, she was so angry that she slapped the eldest young lady in the face and punished her to stand in the yard all night. Later, the eldest young lady was seriously ill, and the wife did not invite a doctor for the eldest lady. If it hadn't been for someone from the Tian family to give the eldest lady something, I'm afraid that the eldest lady would have been gone. She hadn't thought that this matter had something to do with the master, and she never thought that the master would have such a scheming at such a young age. She hesitated for a moment and said, "The slave remembers that the eldest miss was almost gone that year."
"Yeah, it was almost gone. I was scared and guilty at the time," she coughed a few times, "but why did she survive? If she had disappeared, I would be the only one who would marry into Duan Wangfu."
Yaoxi's hand holding the bowl shook, she looked at the sick master, helped her to lie down, covered her with the quilt and said: "Master, you are sick, don't think about it, the servant will go and see what you can do. Food." After she left the house, she breathed a long sigh of relief. She still remembered the scene when Mujin knelt down in front of her master and asked her to ask her to ask her for a doctor.
At that time, the master was full of helplessness and declined Mujin in the name of filial piety. Later, he asked himself to send a few pills to the eldest lady and did not mention the matter. She didn't expect the truth of the matter to be like this. She touched her arm, and in the summer I actually felt a little cold.
"Isn't this Yaoxi?" A girl in a green coat saw Yaoxi coming out, and said, "Concubine Qu Side is good, but our master misses him very much."
"It's not all right yet, thank you auntie for thinking about it." Yaoxi smiled a little ugly. This is a servant girl who is serving by the auntie. She doesn't have much contact with her on weekdays. Now even the servant girl next to the auntie can laugh at the master.
"It's such a hot day, you really suffer," the girl's tone suddenly changed, "I heard that the Empress was abused by her family before she got married, you say... Now, is it retribution?"
When she saw Yaoxi's face changed, she smiled and clapped her hands, "This man who has long eyes and a lot of evil, what's the end." The green-robed maid bowed her knees slightly, "I respect you as a loyal servant. Think for yourself." After speaking, he turned and walked away.
Yaoxi looked at the back of this maid, smiled helplessly, and followed the same path to the kitchen.
The selected daughter sent by the Wei family to the palace violated the palace rules during the filial piety period of the late emperor, and was punished and kicked out of the palace by the emperor, which soon became a joke in the capital. Nothing, even the door is embarrassed to go out.
These women were selected through layers of selection. They were originally those who had the opportunity to be given to the clan by the late emperor or to serve in the harem. As a result, the late emperor died, not to mention the royal family who needed to keep filial piety, and even ordinary people could not marry within a month.
But his Wei family is good. During the period of filial piety, he wanted his daughter to attract the attention of the new emperor, and he didn't think about his temperament today. Is he a lustful person? What's more, the deep love between the emperor and the empress is already known to everyone in the Dalong Dynasty. Could it be that his Wei family's daughter looks like a fairy, otherwise how could she be confident in the imperial garden
The day after Wei Zhu was sent back to the Wei family, he was sent by the Wei family to a female Taoist temple in the suburbs of Beijing.
Everyone knows that this is just a fig leaf that the Wei family has pulled for their own family. Now that the emperor has made a clear decree that the daughters of the Wei family are not allowed to enter the royal family, the Wei family is about to decline.
The three-month period of filial piety passed quickly, but He Heng still demanded himself by the standard of the period of filial piety, and he also paid great attention to his clothes, which attracted people from all over the world to praise the emperor's benevolence and filial piety again.
But no matter what, it stands to reason that He Heng at this time can accept the concubine into the harem, but everyone in the harem knows that the emperor has no intention of going to the harem at all.
The sixth day of the eighth lunar month in the thirty-fourth year of Qingde was the most auspicious day for the past six months as selected by the Qin Tianjian. Both Ziweixing and its companion star were very eye-catching, and the phoenix bird held its head high, so it was the most appropriate day to hold the ceremony of conferring queens. .
The grand ceremony of conferring queens in the Dalong Dynasty was very solemn. First, they worshipped God and read the sacrificial text; then the emperor and the emperor worshipped their ancestors to show their ancestors. This woman is the royal family. Then, the emperor personally inserted the phoenix hairpin and painted the eyebrows for the queen. Finally, the queen wore a phoenix robe to accept the worship of civil and military officials and women.
In front of the bronze mirror, Qu Qing Ju was wearing a phoenix robe made by the Weaver Maidens working overnight for three months. The layers of clothes obviously looked complicated and luxurious, but they didn't feel too cumbersome to wear on her body.
The outermost phoenix dress with wide sleeves and floor-length phoenix dress is obviously not inlaid with gold beads, but it is beautiful enough to blind people.
Seeing He Heng earnestly paint her eyebrows, and gently insert a phoenix hairpin for herself, she smiled.
After doing all this, the two of them held hands together, and He Heng clasped hers and walked to the high platform together. There are dragon chairs and phoenix chairs on the high platform, the dragon chair is on the left and the phoenix chair is on the right.
Qu Qing Ju stood in front of the phoenix chair, raised her chin slightly and looked at the civil and military officials below, watching them all kneeling down towards her.
"Long live the emperor, long live, long live, the empress is a thousand years old!"
Then came the big ceremony of three worships and nine kowtows. Qu Qingju and He Heng stood side by side. Seeing this scene, she felt a little emotional inexplicably.
"Get up," the ceremonial official said, "Let's get up."
The music sounded, a little solemn and a little light, Qu Qing Ju didn't quite understand what kind of music this was, but looking at the appearance of the officials bowing and standing, she could guess that this post-confession ceremony might be considered a high-standard treatment.
After the music stopped and Qu Qingju and He Heng sat down at the same time, these officials worshipped again according to their grades, and then ordered the wives to do it again. Qu Qingju sat down just by watching people kneel down for her. more than an hour.
After these people finished their pilgrimage, He Heng opened his mouth and said, "Today is the ceremony of conferring the empress, and it's the year I take the throne, so I am giving the world a special amnesty to accumulate blessings for the empress, all those who are exiled will be reduced by 60 li, and those who have served their sentences will be reduced by 60 miles. Take one year off, and all death row prisoners will be sentenced to one month later!"
The people below all shouted that the emperor and the queen were merciful and blessed for thousands of years.
Qu Qing Ju did not expect that He Heng would give amnesty to the world at the ceremony of conferring the empress. Although it is normal for a new emperor to succeed to the throne, he will always be amnesty once, but he deliberately waited until today to issue this decree.
She looked sideways at the people around her and smiled helplessly.
Although the ceremony of conferring queens was extremely grand, the grand ceremony for concubine Xian and others in the back was much simpler. Concubine Xian's is not bad, the other three are not as good as the scene of concubines and concubines in the first emperor's time, especially Pingcai people, that is called a shabby, if not for the empress's reward that day, there is almost nothing in the palace. People knew that that day was the day when she was officially promoted.
This person, I am not afraid of comparing goods if I don’t know the goods. The palace is full of people, and I can’t see what is going on. It is a foregone conclusion that this person is not treated by the emperor. Since the emperor does not wait See, where are they willing to hold it
Only then did Feng Zijin realize how difficult the life in the palace was. The food delivered every day was cold, the tea leaves were old, and they were all of bad quality. If something was missing, let the palace minister make up for it. It's even harder to get up.
She had made a quarrel, and finally found that the things she sent were getting worse and worse, and sometimes they didn't even deliver.
"Master, Han Liangdi is here," Xia Yun hurriedly approached the house, her face a little unsightly.
Feng Zijin stood up with a wry smile. When she came out of the inner room, she saw Han Qinghe sitting on a chair drinking tea. She paused, walked up to her and said, "Concubine has seen Han Liangdi."
"Pingcai, please," Han Qinghe smiled and looked at Feng Zijin, who was wearing an 80% new dark-colored robe, and she didn't see the arrogance in the mansion, she put down the teacup and wiped the corner of her mouth, "You are here. The tea is too astringent, I will have someone bring you some tomorrow."
Feng Zijin politely declined: "Don't bother Han Liangdi."
"How can I do it? Back then, when my sister was in the palace, she didn't drink Longjing before it rained. Now that she has entered the palace, how can she feel wronged?" She stood up and said, "The sun is just right today, why don't you just walk with me?"
Knowing that she was deliberately embarrassing herself, Feng Zijin had no choice but to follow behind Han Qinghe.
Han Qinghe, who was walking in front, sneered. When Feng Zijin humiliated herself back then, she was much more ruthless than herself. Her means now are nothing. Thinking of this, Han Qinghe looked back at Feng Zijin, the smile on his face became more and more obvious.
She will suffer in the future, and the humiliation she has suffered in the past cannot be in vain.
☆、93 · Old case
Because the period of filial piety has passed, the flowers in the imperial garden are also blooming. Han Qinghe looked at the beautiful imperial garden and remembered that she entered the palace as a good family daughter and was selected as a daughter, and was later arranged by Empress Dowager Wei to serve the emperor. In the blink of an eye, five years have passed, and she has become one of the masters of this palace.
From time to time, palace maids and eunuchs would pass by to salute her, and she enjoyed the feeling of others bowing their heads to her, as if she could forget her humble background and past disappointments. Looking back at Feng Zijin who was following behind her step by step, she showed a satisfied smile: "Walking around the imperial garden, I remembered the time when I accompanied Ping Cairen to the garden in the palace."
Feng Zijin didn't speak when she heard this, she looked at Han Qinghe blankly, and then slowly retracted her gaze.
"Looking at Ping Cairen's face, it seems that he doesn't like to go shopping with me in the garden?" Han Qinghe laughed mockingly, "Or does Ping Cairen look down on me?"
"Liangdi is high above, how dare a concubine, a small seventh-rank talent, dare to look down on it?" Feng Zijin said coldly, "The concubine is just listening to Liangdi."
Han Qinghe was about to speak when she suddenly heard high-fives behind her. She was overjoyed and took a step back and knelt down.
"The concubine has seen the emperor," Han Qinghe bowed her head tenderly when the dark golden-patterned boots came to her, but the next second, she saw a pair of golden-patterned shoes appear next to the golden patterned boots. She was stunned for a moment, then again Said, "The concubine has seen the Empress."
Qu Qing Ju looked at Feng Zijin and Han Qinghe who were kneeling on the ground, it was the first time she heard Han Qinghe speak in such a sweet voice, she glanced at He Heng who had no response, and said, "No gift, get up. "
"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank the Queen Mother," Feng Zijin slowly got up, she looked up at the Emperor, and found that the Emperor's eyes were not on her and Han Qinghe at all, so she lowered her head with a blank face and said nothing.
"I never thought that I would meet the emperor and the empress here," Han Qinghe didn't want to give up the opportunity to show her face in front of the emperor. Although she was not as beautiful as Feng Zijin, her smile had a different flavor, "It's the concubines who disturbed the emperor. I'm in love with the Empress."
Qu Qing Ju looked at her with a flowery smile, curled the corners of her lips, but did not speak.
"Since you know that it disturbs the interests of me and the Queen, why don't you step back?" He Heng's tone was extremely cold. He glanced at Han Qinghe, who was wearing gold and silver, and frowned, "Let's step back."
The smile on Han Qinghe's face had froze. She didn't expect the emperor to ignore the slightest sympathy, so she turned to look at the queen, but found that the expression on the queen's face had not changed from beginning to end, as if she had known for a long time. It's like making a fool of yourself. She stood up embarrassed and blessed, "Concubine retire."
Seeing that Han Qinghe had retreated, Feng Zijin also saluted and resigned. Before leaving, he glanced at He Heng and Qu Qingju more, as if it was the first time he knew them.
After the two of them retired, Qu Qing Ju said with a smile, "Han Liangdi has served the emperor for so many years, but her appearance has not changed." Han Qinghe started to serve He Heng at the age of sixteen, and now he is only twenty-one years old. In her previous life, it was a good year, and she was a little too old here.
"Really, I don't remember what she looked like before," He Heng glanced in the direction of Fushou Palace, "Don't worry about these people, let's go to the Queen Mother's for dinner."
The Fushou Palace had long known that the emperor and the queen were coming to accompany the empress dowager for dinner, so they prepared things early. When the two arrived, Empress Dowager Wei was pruning the branches of a pot of flowers in the yard. After seeing the two of them, Empress Dowager Wei got up and asked them to follow her into the house.
After washing her hands and drying the water on her hands, the Queen Mother Wei said to the two of them: "The Ai's family has asked the people in the small kitchen to prepare your favorite dishes, so you can use them more later."
"Mother, I miss you," He Heng stood up and greeted the Queen Mother Wei, but her behavior was much more casual than outside, which showed that the relationship between mother and son was very harmonious, "You should prepare more lees and duck feet."
"Okay, your duck feet, your daughter-in-law's duck tongue, and Ai's family are all prepared for you, and you are indispensable," Empress Dowager Wei apparently also liked her son's approachable and casual attitude in front of her, she sighed, "Now in the period of filial piety Although it has passed, the future of the Ai family still does not need to be done. Tomorrow, the Ai family will issue a decree, stating that there will be no birthday banquet this year, and no congratulations from the courtiers."
He Heng's visit this time was originally to discuss Empress Dowager Wei's birthday, but he didn't expect that the empress mother was so direct, and it was not appropriate to make a big deal.
"Aijia knows that you are filial, but Aijia's move was made after careful consideration," Mrs. Wei became serious, "Huang Er, you have to remember that if you get something, you also need to get a reputation, and you must act comprehensively. Greatness."
When Qu Qingju next to her heard this, she took it for granted. The real winner in life is to do a full set of dramas and gain both fame and fortune. However, when you say these words, is it really okay not to carry her daughter-in-law behind her back
"I understand the mother's intentions," He Heng nodded, "Then when my mother is in the future, our family of three will have a good meal together."
"Okay," Empress Wei laughed and glanced at her daughter-in-law, who was sitting on the side. "It's more comfortable for a family to sit together and have a meal than to make useless fun." Her son, can say in front of her. This kind of words, it can be seen that Qu Shi is really interested.
The Qu family has no external relatives, and is an upright queen. When the Qu family gives birth to a child in the future, the battle for succession will be avoided.
"Since the mother-in-law doesn't manage the future, the daughter-in-law's future is also saved," Qu Qingju's birthday was next month, she frowned, "Anyway, there is no point in making noise at the banquet."
"Okay, our mothers' lives have been saved, and we don't have to suffer so much." Empress Wei smiled and said to Ding Mo, who was beside her, "It's almost noon, let the people in the kitchen serve the dishes. ."
Ding mama took the order, and when she left the house, Ding mama shook her head with a smile. It is clear that the queen mother and the empress are two people with different temperaments, but they are really emotional when they get along with each other. It is really rare to have such a mother-in-law relationship.
But the Queen Mother is also a wonderful person, she can do anything in front of the Queen Mother, as if she treats the Queen Mother as her own mother. Thinking of the Queen Mother's early death and her vicious stepmother, Mother Ding sighed. The Queen Mother is not easy, she must have really regarded the Queen Mother as her own mother.
After the meal, the three of them ate happily. Empress Dowager Wei watched Qu Qingju sitting on the chair with a contented face, and then smiled and said, "Eating to a full seven is the way to keep healthy, you can eat like this. Not good for the body."
"Mother-in-law, my daughter-in-law is growing up right now, how can I do it if I don't eat much," Qu Qing Ju said with a smile, "How can you grow a body if you don't have enough to eat."
Empress Wei was amused by her words, pointed at Qu Qing Ju and said, "Yes, yes, you need to grow up. When you grow up, give birth to grandchildren for the Ai family to play with." After saying this, she couldn't help laughing herself. up.
He Heng watched his mother and his daughter-in-law chat more and more happily. He silently took a sip of Xiaoshi tea. It turned out that his daughter-in-law hadn't grown up yet, and his mother was going to play with his children. Is this scene really a mother-in-law son and daughter-in-law instead of a mother-in-law, son-in-law and daughter
The next day, the Empress Dowager and Empress issued the decree, to the effect that the late emperor had just left, and they had no intention of making fun of Qianqiu, and they were grateful for the hearts of the people of the world.
At present, hundreds of officials praised the empress dowager of the Virgin Mary and the empress virginity, loyalty and filial piety, and they are the role models of women in the world.
He Heng listened to Baiguan's praise for his mother's wife, and said, "My mother, the Queen, has no intention of making fun of me. As the son of the late emperor, how could I have the heart to hold a longevity banquet? This year's birthday banquet is also exempted, so there is no need to persuade my family. "
The courtiers naturally persuaded and persuaded again, and then reluctantly gave up under the insistence of the emperor. Finally, the emperor was benevolent and filial three times, and the emperor and his ministers were satisfied.
He Yuan, who was standing below, showed a mocking smile on his face. Wei Shi's mother and son used to love acting, and at this point, they did not forget to win a good name by acting.
"The minister has the original play!" After the monarch and the ministers were in harmony, Wei Wenguang stepped forward, "Your Majesty, I met a thirteen-year-old beggar on the way a few days ago. Seeing that he was pitiful, he decided to take it in. Who would have heard of a beggar? An astonishing event.”
The atmosphere suddenly became solemn, and He Heng frowned slightly and said, "Wei Youcheng, tell me quickly."
"The minister listened to the beggar's office and learned that he had been begging all the way from Jiangnan to Beijing. His father was the housekeeper of an official in Jiangnan. Er was naughty and hid in the cellar at home, and was lucky enough to survive." After speaking, he held up an account book with both hands, "This is the account book left by the murdered housekeeper. Please take a look at the emperor."
As soon as these words came out, the whole court was quiet, but no one dared to apologize for King Rui.
"Bring it up," He Heng looked at He Yuan, "King Rui, do you have anything to say?"
He Yuan sneered and cupped his hands: "Your Majesty, the younger brother was wronged. Wei Youcheng used a little beggar who didn't know his identity to wrongly wrong the minister, and even forged account books, his heart can be punished."
He Heng took the account book from the eunuch, flipped open a page and said calmly, "What is the truth, I will send someone to find out and retreat."
The ministers did not know the real thoughts of the emperor for a while. If they believed in King Rui, they would not let anyone investigate. But if you don't believe it, then you should be furious. Such calmness is really confusing.
But smart people quickly realized that the emperor was going to liquidate the old account before King Rui. At the beginning, the Jiangnan case was suppressed by the late emperor, and since the emperor cared about the people of Jiangnan, he naturally would not consider it non-existent.
I am afraid that Jiangnan will soon usher in a major purge.
☆、94 · Appetite
The Jiangnan case was brought up again, but this time no one interceded for King Rui, and the emperor did not specially send a high-ranking person to Jiangnan to investigate. Instead, he issued an imperial decree to let Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment work together to find out the case.
Originally, some people speculated that the emperor would take this opportunity to bring down King Rui, but who knew that the emperor would take this matter in a business-like manner. .
Whether He Heng is so open-minded is not that important to Qu Qing Ju. Now she is the only one in the harem, so don't be too happy to eat, drink, and play.
The weather is gradually approaching autumn, and her appetite is getting better and better. She likes both sour and spicy food. One night at the end of September, she ate two bowls of rice, one bowl of hot and sour fish, and one bowl of mushrooms, tofu and fish head. Soup was obviously the most common home-cooked dish, but she liked to eat it, which scared He Heng to accompany her around the garden for more than half an hour that night.
Qu Qingju's birthday was on the penultimate day at the end of September. Empress Dowager Wei held a family banquet in Fushou Palace that day. Apart from the three of them, only the Empress Dowager, Princess Jin'an, and Concubine Xian were present, and the other three concubines were present. They only kowtowed outside the palace gate and let them go back.
Jiang Yongxu was the only concubine in the harem who was assigned the position of a first-class concubine. Her appearance at the banquet showed that the empress was virtuous and magnanimous, and she could tolerate other women in the harem. But Jiang Yongxu knew in his heart who he was and what he should do, so after bowing, he chose the corner farthest from He Heng to sit down, and quietly installed a sculpture beside him.
After He Heng ascended the throne, he promoted the titles of Princess Jin'an's children, so everyone in the capital knew that Princess Jin'an had a deep relationship with the new emperor. Therefore, among all the princesses of the late emperor, only Princess Jin'an's status was not affected in any way. The people in the middle are still holding the respect carefully.
This is also considered human nature. When a father is an emperor and a half-brother is an emperor, it is really two kinds of treatment. It is no wonder that some princesses will choose their positions in the matter of succession. Princess Jinan has made a correct decision. s Choice.
Anyone with eyes knows that when the new emperor was still King Duan, Princess Jin'an and Princess Duan were very close. After the news of King Duan's assassination came out, Princess Jin'an even sent a lot of medicinal materials to King Duan. Don't all kinds of behavior show Princess Jin'an's position
The other beneficiary is probably King Cheng. He was originally a poor little father who didn’t care about his own father, but now he is one of the people trusted by the new emperor. .
"The queen's appetite is really good," Princess Jin An looked at Qu Qing Ju and wiped her mouth in surprise after a meal, and said after a long time, "It's a blessing to be able to eat."
"Isn't it too much," Qu Qing Ju took a sip of the Xiaoshi tea presented by the maid, looked at He Heng beside him with some doubts, and asked, "Is it really a lot?"
"You can eat happily," He Heng smiled, looking at the fair and tender face of the other party, his fingers trembled slightly, and then he resisted the urge to reach out and pinch, and turned to Ming He behind him and said, "Today's Pickled cabbage fish head and Kung Pao beef tendon are very well done, who is the cook who is in charge, you will be rewarded!"
Ming He wrote down the names of the two dishes, knowing that the Empress liked to eat them, he motioned the little eunuch behind him to go to the imperial kitchen to appreciate the cook.
Mrs. Wei took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Qing Ju's appetite has really gotten better and better in the past few days. When Aijia watched her eat, she felt that her appetite was greatly improved, and she ate half a bowl of rice."
After hearing this, the Queen Mother smiled and said: "I heard about the good appetite of the younger sister and the queen even in Changning Palace. I heard that the people in the imperial kitchen are now thinking about studying new cakes and new dishes all day long, so I look forward to it. I can get your eyes on you."
"It seems that the reputation of our mother-in-law's delicious food has spread," Empress Wei smiled at Qu Qing Ju, she didn't mind that someone in the palace spread these things, she said to the mother Empress Dowager, "Sister, you and I We have known each other for more than 20 years. When the late emperor is here, we are always careful. Now that our children are older, we don’t have to live our lives carefully. Let’s enjoy more while we can eat and drink.”
The Empress Dowager did not expect Empress Dowager Wei to say this. She was stunned for a moment before laughing, "You are right. Life is too short. We have endured most of our lives, but we can't do it in vain." There was no conflict of interest. Now that King Duan takes the throne, he treats her very well. Even Princess Jin'an, who is in her own name, is the most valued among all princesses. Now she is just a leisurely queen mother. What to worry about
Qu Qing Ju listened to the sister-like conversation of the queen mothers of the two palaces.
