Chapter 138: The Court
When the concubine left the palace, Qi Zongwen was very unhappy. Although it can be said that the concubine herself is willing, if there is no Si Tianjian to figure out this matter, will the concubine have to leave the palace?
Holding a breath in his heart, Qi Zongwen endured it instead.
Si Tianjian still stays well, Qi Zongwen goes to Yushou Palace every day to serve the disease, and he tries and feeds all the medicines himself, and the government and the opposition praise him.
Only the Queen Mother felt that this medicine was a bit stomach-wrenching.
They have never been the kind of relationship between mother and son, and now they have to pretend to be mother and son, just to see who is more stable.
It's just a matter of concubines, so you can't mention it.
I thought that the concubine was not there, and the day His Majesty went to Ronghua Palace would be assigned to the harem, but the harem concubines were happy for two days, and they found that in addition to going to the court every day, His Majesty went to Yushou Palace to serve the sick, that is, he stayed in Tianqing Palace, and did not come to the harem, nor did he call people to serve.
"Your Majesty must still be angry in your heart. Jin Zhaoyi said, "Wait a few more days." ”
Your Majesty has never guarded the concubine, is it possible that the concubine is out of the palace, and your majesty can still be close to the concubine?
The queen went to the Tianqing Palace and asked, "When is Your Majesty going to leave for the palace, and which concubines will you take with you this year?"
"I'm busy with government affairs, so I won't go this year. Qi Zongwen said, "Since the queen entered the palace, she has never been to the palace to escape the summer, it is very hard, it is better for you to take the harem concubines this year." ”
The queen was stunned, Your Majesty didn't go, what were they going to do?" "The concubines are in the middle palace, and they are all what the concubines should do, not hard." ”
"Your Majesty works hard for government affairs, but the concubines are too busy having fun, which is not good. The queen said. "Since Your Majesty is not going, then this year I will all go to the palace to escape the summer, so let the inner division prepare more ice cubes. ”
"When the first emperor was in Hengzhi, he didn't have to go out of the palace every year to escape the summer. ”
Going out of the palace to escape the summer has only become a rule after His Majesty ascended the throne, just for the sake of the concubine.
"Whatever. Qi Zongwen said, "If it's okay, you can go back first." ”
The queen should be, out of the palace, just happened to meet Han Haili walking inside, the queen stopped him, "Where are you going in this hurry?"
"Ask the queen Ann. Han Haili bent down and arched his hand, "Your Majesty sent the little one to the inner division to ask for something, and now he is about to reply." ”
"Why are you alone? I didn't see your master in front of His Majesty. The queen asked casually.
"The master received His Majesty's order and went out of the palace to see the concubine. Han Haili said.
"Every day?" asked the Queen. "Just find a little chamberlain to go, and you still need the imperial manager to run around like this every day?
"Your Majesty can only trust the master. Han Haili said that last time His Majesty was poisoned, he didn't react, and he didn't go to Ronghua Palace to take a look, but he didn't know that the concubine had been wronged, and left an unreliable impression on His Majesty.
But recently, these little chamberlains have been doing a lot of things, and it is rumored that Manager Han still wants to find an apprentice.
Han Haili has also been a little flustered recently, and he has worked harder and harder.
The queen nodded, "Alright, you can go in and report." ”
The news of not going to the palace for summer vacation this year spread in the harem, His Majesty didn't go, and the concubines who were not interested in the palace were okay, like Concubine Xian, Rou Jia had been talking about what to bring to the palace a month ago, and now she knew that she couldn't go, and she must be unhappy.
The second prince also talked about going to the palace to live in the prince's house, and he could live with his mother and concubine, and he didn't have to go to class.
"Otherwise, I'll go and tell Your Majesty that I will take Roujia and the second prince to the palace for summer vacation. Concubine Xian said to Mama that she didn't care about Your Majesty, she cared about her children.
"Your Majesty is reluctant to go to the palace this time to escape the summer, it must be because the concubine can't go. Mama said, "The queen must have refused for the harem in front of His Majesty, and now the mother has gone to tell His Majesty that she wants to take the princess and the second prince to the palace, isn't it special." ”
"This is not a good thing for the second prince. ”
Concubine Xian sighed, in recent years, she has become more and more constrained. "When the second prince is older, I think I can't do anything, I can't say anything, it's best to be a mud bodhisattva who can't speak. ”
"Just bear with it. Mama said.
Roujia heard that she couldn't go to the palace to escape the summer this year, so she said why, Mama explained to her, and she asked her to change her boots, "I'm going to ask my father." ”
"Well, Princess, that's not going to work. Mama couldn't stop her, so she hurriedly went back to find Concubine Xian to help.
When Concubine Xian heard this, she waved her hand to prevent people from stopping her, "Roujia is not afraid of Your Majesty, just let her ask, no matter whether Your Majesty allows her to go or not, she has no regrets if she asks." ”
Roujia went to Tianqing Palace, Qi Zongwen was a little strange, "Why are you here?"
"Father, aren't we going to the palace this year to escape the summer?" asked Rou Jia after saluting.
"What, do you want to go?" Qi Zongwen asked, "It's just that my father is not going, if you want to go, you can go." ”
Rou Jia pouted, "But Mama said, Your Majesty won't go, and the harem lady won't go, and I can't go." ”
"Who said that. Qi Zongwen said, "If you want to go to the harem, you can also go, there are adults who will take you there, and you will come back after having fun." ”
"If the father doesn't go, the ladies will definitely not go. Roujia said, "Even my mother won't go." ”
"Then what can I do?" Qi Zongwen looked at her and said, "Otherwise, you will also accompany your father and spend the summer in the palace." ”
"If my father wants me to accompany me, of course I am obliged. Rou Jia raised her head and said, "But my father doesn't need me to accompany him at all, and when government affairs are busy, I can't even eat with my father." ”
"I stayed in the palace, not playing with myself. ”
"Then what do you say?" Qi Zongwen asked her with a smile.
"The second brother has long been looking forward to going to the palace to play, so he can take less classes. Roujia said. "The third brother just entered the prince's office, crying every night, coaxing him to go to the palace immediately, so he didn't cry, and now they are both disappointed. ”
"So what?"
Rou Jia's eyes turned, "Ladies want to serve Your Majesty, it's really hard to move, I'm also an adult now, otherwise, let me take my younger brothers to the palace to escape the summer, it's not long, just a month." ”
"Let you take your younger brothers there?" Qi Zongwen said with a smile, "Isn't that that the absence of tigers in the mountains, and the monkeys reigning as overlords." ”
Rou Jia leaned over and coquettishly, "How can my father say that his daughter is a monkey? Where in the world is there such a beautiful monkey?"
Qi Zongwen smiled, "It's not possible to go without an adult taking you there." ”
"You're still a little adult, and you haven't really become an adult yet. Qi Zongwen said, "The younger brothers are even younger. ”
"Then I will work with Lijia, and the two of us will take care of the second and third brothers. Rou Jia said, "Besides, the nurse palace maid guards, we all have a lot of them, even if the ladies are there, it's just a few more questions." ”
"I promise, I've decided not to do anything out of line. ”
"What you're doing now is something out of the ordinary. Qi Zongwen said, "Have you asked Lijia about it?" and pulled her into the water, would she like to go with you?"
"Wait a minute, I'll ask her right away. Roujia said, and walked away like the wind.
"Roujia's temperament really doesn't know who she looks like. Qi Zongwen shook his head and smiled, "Was Concubine Xian such a bold when she was a child?"
Han Xing smiled on the side and said, "It's because the princess is close to Her Majesty that she will be so reckless." ”
Roujia wanted to ask Lijia, but she didn't expect to alarm the queen, and as soon as the queen heard that Roujia said that she wanted to take the second prince and the third prince to the palace with Lijia, she said, "Nonsense." ”
"Are you two or half-grown children?"
The queen said, "Roujia, you should be sensible now, your father can't go out of the palace to escape the summer because of busy government affairs, how can you be a child, how can you only care about playing by yourself, and don't know that you feel sorry for your father?"
Rou Jia pursed her lips, "Father and Emperor love son, he is happy when he sees us happy, this is what I can do for my father, and I can't go and approve the folding of the son for my father?"
"Look, what are you talking about?" said the queen, frightening her, "if you don't know what to do, the queen mother will let Mama teach you the rules." ”
Rou Jia frowned, "But my father is still waiting for me and Lijia to reply, even if it doesn't work, the queen mother will let the two of us go to talk back to my father." ”
"I can't trust you two, so I'll go with you. The queen said.
Roujia walked behind her, secretly angry, she quietly glanced at Lijia who was walking side by side with her, "You don't want to go to the palace?"
Lijia hasn't been to the palace yet, and every time the queen doesn't go, she naturally won't go, although sometimes her father says that she should go with her, and let any concubine take care of her, and the queen mother will resign for her.
Lijia is also sensible now, and knows that she is a second princess who doesn't care about being a queen mother in Ditai Palace.
Mama reminded the queen, and the queen looked back at the two girls who were talking to each other and said, "Don't speak." ”
"Lijia, come here. ”
Lijia stepped forward, and the queen whispered to her, "When you get to your father, do you know what to say?"
Lijia looked up at her, but didn't speak.
The queen was angry with her for being stupid, "You just said you don't want to go, don't you hear it." ”
"You said that your father worked hard, and you have to stay in the palace to accompany your father. ”
Lijia lowered her head, and the queen thought she knew, "Fortunately, you are still an obedient character, if you are like Roujia, you are not used to being big and wild, I might as well strangle you at the beginning, and I should not have you as a daughter." ”
Do you think you have a daughter like me now?
Lijia rolled her eyes in her heart, when her father came, he would call her to ask for warmth, and if her father didn't come, she shouldn't know that there was still her in the palace.
Lijia also cried when she was sensible, and asked her mother why she didn't like her, she still remembered the queen mother's hypocritical face at that time, she said, how could she not like her, she is her only daughter, her heart and liver, is it that the ladies of the palace are chewing their tongues, and all the people who serve around her have been changed.
She begged her mother and said that she couldn't say the wrong thing.
The people she gave birth to the closest and those who accompanied her the longest were all changed in an instant, and then she knew that except for the nominal mother and daughter, the queen mother had no feelings for her.
There is only abhorrence.
