Chapter 53: Drunken Peony Tang (3)
Mama Qi trembled her legs and knelt on the ground: "It's true, the slave doesn't dare to deceive the mother." ”
The queen took a step forward, stared at Zhu Bodao with heavy eyes: "In this case, this matter is not only related to the face of the two countries, but also involves human ethics and great defense, and I hope that the adults will forgive and make concessions." Although this palace respects your master and servant as guests, don't look at the little eunuch who is not there, and talk nonsense here. Otherwise, it will be difficult for His Majesty to come and it will be difficult to block the mouth of Youyou. ”
Although Uncle Zhu was anxious, he replied steadily as usual: "Niangniang must be too worried, if you don't believe it, you can call the little father-in-law just now to come and ask." We are new to your palace, and we are not very familiar with your palace, if there is no one to lead the way, how can we know where to go? Besides, after the prince entered, we have been guarding the door, and we have never heard the woman's voice, and it is not impossible for the grandmother to remember the error, maybe the princess has already left?"
The queen has a good mouth that can speak well, although she understands that what he said is reasonable, but when she thinks of Mama Qi's steady and reliable work and her appearance just now, she thinks of Qianhua and herself for the rest of her life, and becomes more and more anxious. didn't care about anything else, and sneered:
"Sir, that's a mistake. It's great that the third princess is not in it, but Mr. shirks the obstruction like this, which makes people can't help but wonder, could it be that someone is really doing something rotten and tongue-breaking inside?
As he spoke, he turned around and walked towards Xiao Ge, saying as he walked: "Someone! Open the door to the main palace!"
The little eunuch who was accompanying the queen hurriedly stepped forward and prepared to push the door, but as soon as he went up the steps, he was stopped by Zhu Bo, who was flying in front of the door, and said angrily: "My King Qi Ming is changing clothes inside, what do you want to do?"
The queen was stunned, did this old man calculate that he would not dare to attack the king of Ming? Such presumptuous and unruly, although she was a distinguished guest, but a slave dared to point fingers at herself, did she really think that she was easy to bully?
"If there is no ghost in your heart, why are you afraid of going in the palace to take a look?" the queen snorted and said to the attendants on the side: "What are you still doing in a daze? Knock the door open! If something really happens, who of you can afford it!"
A few little eunuchs were eager to try, but they didn't dare to approach Uncle Zhu. Zhu Bo said coldly at the moment: "Whoever dares to step forward, don't blame the old man for being polite!"
"What's the deal with so many people here?!"
Just as they were about to start, everyone only heard a majestic question from behind them.
That person was not someone else, it was Emperor Shengzhao who was in Muchun Pavilion at this moment.
Everyone hurriedly made their debut and saluted the emperor one after another:
"The courtiers (slaves) have seen Your Majesty, long live your majesty, long live, long live!"
"The concubine has seen His Majesty. The queen smiled at the corner of her mouth, secretly happy in her heart, now that the emperor is here, after the door is opened, even if it is the prince of Daqi, what can he do?
Uncle and nephew**, no matter how much you can't escape the blue sky and white sun, you can't escape the mouth of this Lang Lang Qiankun.
The world of this Chu country must belong to Qianhua!
"Get up. The emperor walked up to the empress and said, "So many people are gathered here, which one are you singing, empress?"
Saying that, the eunuch who knelt on the steps and the Zhu Bo who saw the salute swept away: "How can I let a few minions and envoys have contradictions, even to the point of making a move?!"
"Your Majesty is angry. The queen smiled gently and told him the general story of the matter: "The concubine has no other meaning, King Ming is my honored guest of Dachu, and he is the future son-in-law of the concubine, and the concubine can't allow others to frame him like this and shame him." If I leave today without regard to the rest of the world, how can I say it clearly in the future with so many pairs of eyes watching? Besides, it is about the reputation of the third princess, and it is also related to the happiness of Qianhua, and the concubines dare not dispose of it at will. It's just that I want to enter the door to take a look, wouldn't it be clear at a glance? It's just that the old gentleman in front of the prince didn't let people in. In order to give everyone an explanation, the concubine had no choice but to force people to break in like this. ”
Said and bowed his knees: "Look at Your Majesty Xià Mingjian." ”
"Oh, what did the envoy say?" Emperor Sheng Zhao glanced at Zhao Hai, turned his eyes to Zhu Bo, and asked, "But is it really as the queen said?"
"If Your Majesty doesn't believe that we were indeed brought by that little duke, you can pass on his question. As for me blocking the mother from entering, it is nothing more than our prince is changing clothes inside, if he breaks into his life like this, not to mention that the Chu State is so contemptuous and bullying his royal family, even His Majesty's face is not necessarily good-looking. ”
said, glanced at the queen: "Men and women are on guard, I am afraid that such a rash will not be very good for the reputation of the mother, not to mention that all the ladies and ladies are here"
Hearing this, the queen was shocked, she only cared about catching the adulterer, but she ignored that she was also a woman, so it was indeed inconvenient, but he didn't say it before, but talked about it like this in front of the emperor, it was really cunning.
So he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the concubine is also worried about the third princess, and she is anxious for a while, so she is negligent, and I hope that Your Majesty will forgive her sins." ”
"That's it. Emperor Shengzhao waved his hand, looked at Mama Qi beside the queen and said, "Don't say it again, I believe in King Ming and Luange." After all, the two of them are uncles and nephews, not to mention that they haven't even met a few times, where is it as unbearable as this grandma said?
When Mama Qi heard this, she fluttered and knelt down: "Holy Mingjian, the slave will never dare to deceive the Holy Hearing." ”
Although the queen was anxious, she thought that she had already nailed the window of the small pavilion before, and she had to wait patiently when she entered and exited only this door. Seeing Mama Qi like this, although she couldn't bear it in her heart, she couldn't bear it, but when she saw Emperor Shengzhao's indifferent face, she couldn't make a sound, so she could only watch Mama Qi crouch on the ground and buckle her head.
Emperor Shengzhao has his own measure in his heart, this matter is related to the dignity of the royal family, a grandmother is so arrogant, how can she be so bold without the nod of her master? If it is not surprising, it will inevitably be a farce. It's just that the queen didn't have to come up with such a brainless thing to deal with King Ming. If it's just someone else, it doesn't make sense that it is the princess of Chu who is involved.
So he didn't look at the people at his feet, and didn't care that she was an old man brought into the palace by the queen from her mother's house, and only killed the chicken to show the monkey, so that everyone in the palace would eat too much all day and have nothing to do, and dare to move anything.
At this moment, Hongyu whispered a few words softly in Qianhua's ear. Qianhua thought for a moment and asked, "Did you see someone?"
Hongyu nodded, and Qianhua took a few steps forward and said: "After the father and the queen mother, the ministers sent people to the Yongluan Palace to see, saying that the third sister is now resting in the palace."
"Is this true?!, but I have seen a real person?!" the queen blurted out.
Qianhua Dao is, the queen's complexion changed several times in an instant, and she was defeated like ashes. Seeing that the emperor looked at her inquiringly, he barely pulled out a smile and said, "It's good to be in the dormitory."
Mama Qi, who was kneeling on the ground, had eyes as big as copper bells at this time, and her body kneeling on the ground was shaking, but no matter how she thought about it, she didn't understand what was wrong.
At the same time, Zhao Hai also carried a little eunuch and threw it at the feet of the emperor and queen. The little eunuch also had two fruit bowls in his hands, and the fruits contained in them were eaten and scattered all over the ground.
This person is none other than the little eunuch who was reprimanded by the queen just now.
"Say, who instructed you? How dare you deceive the Holy Hearing and frame your guests! On duty in the inner court, you don't know the rules and regulations of the Muchun Pavilion and the East and West Warm Pavilions, who can trust this outrageous lie?" Zhao Hai pointed to his nose and said.
Where had the little eunuch seen such a battle, he trembled all over, trembling and unable to speak for a long time, only kept muttering words such as "wronged" and "forgiveness".
"If you don't tell the truth today, you will wait to go to the Xingzhao Division to get the board!" Zhao Hai saw that Emperor Shengzhao's face became more and more gloomy, knowing that this was a precursor to Long Yan's anger, and hurriedly said to the little eunuch: "If you are truthfully recruited, Long Live Lord may be able to spare your little life!"
As soon as the little eunuch who called Xiao Guizi heard the words "Xingzhao Division", he kowtowed like pounding garlic.
Who in this palace doesn't know how powerful the Criminal Zhao Division is? For many years, no one has ever been able to enter the door of the Criminal Zhao Division and still have a breath to come out. So he stammered and told the reason.
