Chapter 303: The Jade Concubine enters the cold palace
The jade concubine trembled and knelt outside the jade steps, her knees were a little numb from pain, and her head hit the ground and did not move.
She had been kneeling for a few hours, and if it weren't for the two palace maids who were kneeling beside her, she would have fainted.
"Niangniang, the emperor invites you in. "The entrance to the study
The great eunuch Liu Xi stood at the door, with a smile on his face, which fell in the eyes of the jade concubine, but the smile was cold without a trace of temperature.
"Yes!" she didn't dare to say anything, she stood up with difficulty holding the palace maid's hand, and stumbled two steps under her feet, and it was difficult to even move for a while.
"Please come in quickly, the queen is waiting for you. Liu Xi didn't seem to look at her infallible appearance, and still smiled and urged.
Concubine Yu didn't dare to hesitate, and helped the palace maid to rely on their steps forward, slowly dragging the feet that had fallen off.
As soon as he entered the door of the study, he heard an angry roar from Emperor Zongwen, and he suddenly couldn't stand under his feet, and suddenly knelt down by the door railing carved with a coiled dragon.
"As the head of the harem, you have been negligent to such an extent, okay, I will let the three law divisions interrogate in a while, and interrogate your gentle and generous good daughter. ”
The queen couldn't stand still in the study, she knelt on the ground in shock, her face was full of panic, her eyes widened in disbelief, and she knelt down in front of Emperor Zongwen and begged: "Your Majesty, you just spare Xueyu, she is just young and ignorant, the girl is small-minded, and it is the first time, besides, there is a princess who is punished, let the three law divisions judge, please spare Xuehe!"
"A girl with a small heart can do such a thing that harms people's reputation! She is so young and has such a vicious mind, and she doesn't know who she has learned. The emperor's face sank, and he said angrily, "Pass the decree and lock up the five princesses and put them in ......."
Seeing that the emperor was really angry, the queen's face turned pale, and she stretched out her hand and grabbed the emperor's dragon robe and hurriedly persuaded: "Your Majesty, don't you want Xue Yu to be harmonious? ”
The queen had never approved of this matter, but at this time she had to take it out, and looked at Emperor Zongwen with tearful eyes, and begged, Is the cold palace a place where Xue Yu can stay? Not to mention that it is cold and desolate, I just remember that there are some concubines who have killed themselves, and they are usually resentful when they walk by during the day, and the queen is terrified when she thinks about it, and her hands and feet are cold.
The fate that his daughter never wants to fall into.
"Then are you asking me not to punish her?" Emperor Zongwen glanced at the queen, a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes, and he said condescendingly and coldly.
"The concubine doesn't dare, the concubine will definitely teach her well, and she will never let her mess with the lord of Anping again, as soon as the time passes, she will marry far away, and there is no possibility of coming back, the emperor, please let the concubine and Xueyu sue the mother-daughter relationship, and ...... in the future I'm afraid it's hard to see each other in this life!" the queen said as tears fell involuntarily, and she sobbed lowly.
The princess and her relatives, it is impossible to come back from now on, and anyone who is a father will have heartache, not to mention that Emperor Zongwen still loved this daughter a lot in the past.
Hearing what the queen said, Emperor Zongwen's face eased slightly, thought about it, and waved his hand to Liu Xi, who came up to listen to the order, and Liu Xi retreated respectfully.
"Queen, I don't want to hear about the fifth princess pestering Yi Hao anymore, I don't want to hear the rumors that she is not innocent with Yi Hao, her behavior is inappropriate, she is destined to be the eldest princess of Yan Kingdom, and she is no longer allowed to be involved with Yi Hao, who likes Yi Hao, and who Yi Hao likes has nothing to do with her. Emperor Zongwen coldly reprimanded.
"Yes, the concubine obeys the order, and the concubine will teach her well. The queen didn't dare to say anything more, and confessed to Emperor Zongwen again before retreating.
Walking past the jade concubine kneeling by the threshold, the queen stopped, lowered her head with gloomy eyes and glanced at her coldly before going outside.
If it weren't for the provocation of the slut of Concubine Yu, how could Xue Yu do such a thing, I just asked Xue Yu to know that this matter was provoked by the slut of Concubine Yu, remembering that Concubine Yu was very close to the Queen Mother for a while, and I learned that a while ago, some people in my mother's family felt that the blood of King Ning was closer, and there was an evil fire in their hearts.
King Ning is close to the Queen Mother, and she is not close at all, if Ning Wang Fengjue really ascends to the emperor, the Queen Mother still has her own position, she will neither become the Queen Mother, nor will she become the Queen Mother, as soon as she thinks of this, the fire in the queen's heart will soar, she can't take the Queen Mother, can't she talk about the Jade Concubine, just now, she has repeatedly or explicitly or secretly put the responsibility on this slut, I believe that this slut will never be able to please this time.
A concubine who has only been favored for a few days wants to climb on her head, I really don't know how thick the sky is.
"Concubine Yu, you have done a good thing!" In the study, Zong Wenzong's face was cold, his face sank like water, and he looked at Concubine Yu condescendingly.
"Your Majesty, the concubine, the concubine just said......" After being stunned, Concubine Yu raised her head, knelt down a few steps and came to the emperor's feet and cried.
"So many people have seen you give the ruby hairpin to the lord of Anping, the light of the ruby is refracted on people's faces, how bright the flashing light is, you probably didn't expect it!" The emperor didn't look at her, and kicked her away without pity.
Liu Xi, who was standing on the side, lowered his head and took two steps back quietly, avoiding the upside down Jade Concubine.
"Your Majesty, please spare the concubine, and the concubine will never dare to do it again. Concubine Yu was kicked and lay on the ground, her face turned pale, her lips trembled, and she pleaded, "Your Majesty, the concubine also listened to the Queen Mother's ......."
"Shut up!" Emperor Zongwen shouted, the sudden violent drinking scared the Jade Concubine couldn't say a word, she suddenly realized something, biting her lip where else did she dare to say anything, only kowtowing vigorously, the emperor's filial piety to the queen mother was something that everyone in the palace could see.
And the Empress Dowager's kindness is also well known to everyone, and when she says such a thing, she is clearly provoking discord between the emperor and the Empress Dowager! Such a consequence is by no means something that a small concubine can bear.
"The harem woman is generous and graceful, and you have such a vicious heart, Jade Concubine, I really misjudged you!" There was deep disappointment in the emperor's eyes, and when it fell on the Jade Concubine, her whole body trembled like chaff, and she almost fell to the ground, and cried out mournfully: "Your Majesty!"
"Passing the decree, Concubine Yu is arrogant and extravagant, talks about political affairs in vain, and enters the cold palace!"
"Yes!" There were already guards guarding the door, and two people came up, one dragged the jade concubine and walked out!
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the concubine is wronged, the concubine is wronged!" Concubine Yu was shocked, cried, and struggled to crawl over, but the two guards did not pity her, pulled her up and walked out.
When Concubine Yu's cry was far away, Emperor Zongwen took a deep breath and said coldly to Liu Xi: "Pass the decree and stick the sign of those who are not allowed to interfere in politics in the harem at the gates of each palace, and then there will be those who disagree!"
"Yes, the minion will let people do it. Liu Xi immediately retreated,
Out of the imperial study, I specially instructed people to erect signs at the gates of each palace.
"Father-in-law, do you want to put this Cining Palace?" asked a clever little eunuch cautiously.
"Is that a harem?" Liu Xi said coldly, turned around and went back to the imperial study, how dare the little eunuch say more, and immediately ran away like a smoke.
The emperor erected such a sign obviously not only for the queen, if it is said that the most likely person in this harem is the queen mother, he has been with Emperor Zongwen for a long time, knowing that the emperor and the queen mother and son seem to be filial and kind, but in fact, they have been screwing hard.
The queen mother's retreat to Cining Palace regardless of the affairs of the harem is an attitude, for which the emperor also gave her the honor and enjoyed the same status as a real queen mother, but now this one actually picked the harem troubles, clearly wanting to mess up the harem first, and then chaos the government, and everyone can understand the things in the queen mother's heart.
Otherwise, why was King Ning sent to Yan Kingdom as a proton early, I thought that King Ning was not there, and the Queen Mother would have to be peaceful for at least a while, but I didn't expect that it would only be a few years, and the Queen Mother would not be able to survive like this.
I'm afraid this harem is really going to be messed up!
The emperor was furious, and even the news that the queen was reprimanded instantly spread silently in the harem.
Although the five princesses were not explicitly grounded, but that meant something, they were taken to the queen's palace to let the queen be well educated, they were all such big people, what else to educate, the emperor's anger was clear at a glance, and a sign was erected in front of each palace in the harem that they were not allowed to interfere in politics.
Even at the gate of the Cining Palace, the Queen Mother, who has always ignored the world, there is also a sign, so that the old ministers who went to the Cining Palace to ask the Queen Mother for peace were nervous, and they couldn't help but put the position right.
The Queen Mother's Cining Palace was cold.
Inside Cining Palace:
Feng Juezhen sat on the Nanmu chair, frowning and did not speak, and the Queen Mother on the other side looked coldly at the wide hall, a trace of fierce flames flashed in her eyes, and she was cold, which made her kind face look a little more hideous.
"The emperor's move is really good, not only makes the queen jealous of me, but also plays the role of knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger, I want to use this to deter the mourning family, what a good move!" The queen mother said coldly, and the Buddhist beads in her hand were almost broken.
"Grandmother, why did you let Concubine Yu pick the fifth princess to act this time, now the emperor must be suspicious of grandmother's intentions, and even those old ministers can see what the emperor means, and they dare not come to you at this time. Feng Juezhen smiled faintly.
"The matter of the Jade Concubine, although the emperor suspects it, there is no direct evidence, and the brother of the Jade Concubine is still in our hands, so I don't believe that she dares to say anything, but I didn't expect that girl to be so cunning, such a thing can be confirmed by her, I really underestimate her. The Queen Mother's eyes fell on the Buddha beads in her hand, turned around casually, suddenly put down the pinch, and half-lowered her eyes and said coldly.
Feng Jue really knew that she was talking about Mo Xuetong, the cunning of that little woman was really something he had never seen in his life, so a few people strung together and wanted to manipulate her, it was too unexpected, and now that things are down, I can't imagine that the biggest impact is actually my own faction.
"Grandmother, how about now?" he raised his head and frowned and asked seriously.
"Your current situation can't be delayed any longer, I will ask the emperor to marry you in a few days, and then you can appear here justifiably. The Queen Mother thought for a while and replied, this matter can't be delayed any longer, it has aroused the suspicion of Emperor Zongwen, he only needs to send someone to Yandu, and he will know that Feng Jue is really not there.
If you leave casually, it is a private return, which is equivalent to rebellion, which is a big crime of beheading, even if the queen mother wants to protect him, it is also unjustifiable.
"Grandmother thinks it's more suitable for me to marry a young lady?" Feng Jue really asked noncommittally, it doesn't really matter who she marries, what matters is who is most beneficial to him, since Wang Xiuxiu is her own person, her grandmother's meaning has also clearly expressed to her, Feng Juezhen has long excluded her, and Princess Ning's position is too wasteful for her!
The Queen Mother thought for a while, the Buddha bead in her hand stopped, raised her head and said decisively: "Luo Mingzhu of the Fuguo Mansion!"
