After leaving Meng Qingqian's house, Li Gongqin planned to visit the Queen Mother.
After all, they are relatives. When you come to the palace, you can't just go to the cousin's palace and turn a blind eye to your aunt.
Li Gongqin said to his colleagues: "Brother Huang, Brother Yang, and Brother Lu, I'm going to visit Fenghua Palace, you should leave the palace first."
Yang Xingguang wanted to help Yang Zhe feel his presence, so he said, "Brother Li is out of sight. The late emperor passed away early, and it is my duty to visit the Queen Mother. I will go with Brother Li."
Lu Liang received Jiang Wuyou's order to monitor Meng's actions, and this was a good time, so he said, "Lu is going too."
Huang Qinghe didn't want to go at first, but going to the Empress Dowager was meaningless, except for pleasantries, just small and big eyes. But now everyone is going, and he is no exception, so he said: "Let's go together."
Several people strolled to Fenghua Palace, waited outside the door for a while, and then were invited in by the Queen Mother.
The queen mother was quite surprised to see these people coming together.
Among them, except for his nephew Li Gongqin, who came here often, the rest really seldom moved around, especially after Meng Qingqian was delegated power, it was rare to see him a few times, but today they all came.
However, the most surprising thing is Luliang.
When the Empress Dowager was in power, Lu Liang was the prime minister's confidant, why is he mixed with all the courtiers of the Meng family now
After sitting down for a few days, the queen mother asked anxiously: "Lu Liang, why are you so close to Gongqin and the others? Are you afraid that Han Wenxin will suspect you?"
Lu Liang: ...
Li Gongqin and others: …
There was only one thought in everyone's mind: the queen mother is worthy of being the queen mother, and she hasn't changed a bit in these years.
Lu Liang bite the bullet and said: "Reporting to the Queen Mother, I have abandoned the dark side and turned to the light, and I am determined to serve the royal family and Da Qi."
The queen mother was surprised and said: "Really? You swore loyalty to Han Wenxin at the beginning. You said that my palace 'foreign relatives are involved in politics' and 'the rooster sits in the morning'."
Lu Liang: ...
Everyone: ...
Lu Liang said embarrassedly: "At that time, I was young, my humble minister had no eyes, and was deceived by the surname Han, so he failed to see through Han Wenxin's evil intentions of stealing Qi. Now the minister understands that the Queen Mother and the eldest princess are really planning for me. people."
The queen mother frowned and said: "Although Prime Minister Han is always against me, I don't think he has the heart to steal."
Everyone: ...
Inquiring and clarifying the relationship in public, questioning the motives of the surrender in public, and directly absolving old opponents in public...
The Queen Mother often relies on her intuition to do things, and Lu Liang secretly rejoices that she is not leading the Meng family now, otherwise it would be really hard for him to "abandon Korea and join Meng".
Lu Liang was left speechless by the Queen Mother, so he could only say: "The Queen Mother's speech is the same as before, unique..."
Lu Liang was indeed a great help, so don't just let the Queen Mother go away in anger. Seeing that the situation was not right, Li Gongqin changed the subject: "Queen Mother, His Royal Highness Xiaoyue will soon turn 20. According to the etiquette, he will hold a banquet to celebrate, but now His Royal Highness has a very high status and is not an ordinary princess or eldest princess. I want to ask the Queen Mother for her opinion. .”
The Empress Dowager said naturally: "Just cut down the regulations according to the birthday banquet of the palace last year."
Li Gongqin cupped his hands and said, "I understand."
A few people exchanged a few more pleasantries in a thoughtless manner, and they reckoned that it was almost the same. He planned to get up and leave.
At this time, a court lady hurried in from the door and whispered something in the Queen Mother's ear, and the Queen Mother said in surprise: "Marquis Wu Qing is here? Please come in quickly."
Everyone who watched the play below lifted their buttocks and prepared to leave, but when they heard that He Yuanhao had arrived, they didn't intend to leave.
Except Luliang.
Since Lu Liang came to the queen mother's side, he was embarrassed from beginning to end. Now that He Yuanhao came, the embarrassment would inevitably become more embarrassing. After all, Lu Liang used to walk around with Wu Qinghou often, but now that the camp has changed, it's hard to even talk. It can only be caring and speechless, only tears and thousands of lines.
He Yuanhao is a celebrity.
Not only is he himself a well-known top general in Qi, but his son He Yunxiao is also a big playboy who everyone in Yin Jing knows.
Huang Qinghe, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, never gave He Yuanhao a good look since he came in.
You know, since Huang Buren was beaten by He Yunxiao that time, his whole mental state is not right.
Although he didn't do good things before, at least he still had a lot of expressions, and he looked smart, but now that he has quit doing bad things, he always looks paralyzed, his eyes are dull, like a fool.
He Yuanhao entered the Empress Dowager's bedroom, first paid homage to the Empress Dowager, and then saw so many colleagues, regardless of whether he was from the prime minister's side, they all added "Adult" to the end of their surnames to greet him.
"Master Huang."
Huang Qinghe didn't give him a good face, he snorted: "Did Mr. He come to 'abandon the darkness and turn to the light' today?"
He Yuanhao said with a smile: "We are all officials of the Great Qi, and we are the monarch and the common people. How come 'light and darkness'?"
Huang Qinghe said: "Ask knowingly."
He Yuanhao said: "Master Huang, please explain clearly."
The grievances between He Yuanhao and Huang Qinghe were known to most of the government and the public. Li Gongqin saw that the two were fighting again, and acted as a peacemaker again, saying: "General, the general is dressed so carefully today, do you have something important to ask the Queen Mother?"
He Yuanhao said: "Master Li is still careful. Yes, I do have important matters. Queen Mother, I have something to ask."
The queen mother said: "You say."
"Wei Chen wants to ask the Queen Mother to give her a marriage, and to marry Princess Nanzhu to the dog He Yunxiao as his wife."
The Empress Dowager had this intention a long time ago, and just about to agree, Huang Qinghe got up and said: "The Empress Dowager, think twice! Yin Jing knows the name of He Yunxiao. Lawless, arrogant, ignorant and lustful..."
Yang Xingguang watched the play with his hands in his hands. He Yuanhao is known as a person who "has nothing to do with himself", and there is no scene of confrontation with others. This is a rare opportunity, and it is just a feast for the eyes. Anyway, it's not Meng Qingqian that He Yunxiao wants to marry, as long as he doesn't marry Meng Qingqian, he won't touch my daughter-in-law of the Yang family in Hexi, and he can marry whomever he likes.
He Yuanhao didn't intend to refute Huang Qinghe's attack. He also felt that Huang Qinghe was right. That muddled boy He Yunxiao is indeed like this. Although some places are exaggerated, it is not bad.
It's just that He Yuanhao didn't expect that if he didn't refute, the queen mother would refute for him.
The queen mother got up straight away, pointed at Huang Qinghe and cursed: "Presumptuous! I have seen Xiao'er with my own eyes! She looks handsome, behaves upright, and is polite. How can I be as embarrassing as you say!"
Everyone didn't understand, He Yuanhao was not excited, why are you so excited
Huang Qinghe bit the bullet and said: "The queen mother thinks twice! The eldest princess's marriage needs careful consideration and long-term planning!"
The queen mother said bitterly: "I have to think twice! I want to..."
He Yuanhao saw that the situation was not good. The queen mother had made an agreement with Zhang Jingxian, but now it would be difficult for her to go back on her word.
He immediately took out the red booklet and presented it with both hands: "The Hou Mansion has been planning for a long time, and the betrothal gift list has already been prepared, please have a look at it, the Empress Dowager!"
Seeing the gift list, the queen mother stopped talking for a while and said, "Bring it to me."
The maid took the gift list and handed it to the Queen Mother.
The queen mother looked at the gift list, and no one in the room spoke.
He Yuanhao's face sank like water.
Lu Liang was very embarrassed.
Li Gongqin wiped his sweat frequently.
Huang Qinghe was sullen and resentful.
Yang Xingguang replaced melon with tea, and it was fun to watch, and it was delicious.
After reading the gift list, the Queen Mother said, "Too few."
Huang Qinghe would not let go of the opportunity to find work for the He family, and immediately said: "Master He, the dowry is not ready, is this the attitude of wanting to marry the eldest princess? I promise you this, and you put the face of my Daqi royal family on the line." where?"
He Yuanhao was puzzled.
He and Zhang Jingxian repeatedly checked the list of gifts. If they want to marry Nanzhu, the dowry gift is only too much, and it cannot be insufficient.
The Empress Dowager handed the gift list to the maid, and sat on the upper seat in the bedroom, looking down at the courtiers.
"He Yuanhao, your betrothal gift is too little. If you add more money, I will give you Xiaoyue."
He Yuanhao:
Lu Liang:
Huang Qinghe:
Li Gongqin:
When Yang Xingguang heard this, the hand holding the tea trembled.
"ah?"
