Chapter 456: Asking for an Explanation

Princess Qing didn't know what to say at the moment, she looked at King Qing and was silent for a long time.

King Qing patted Princess Qing's hand, "Don't think so much, let's act according to Your Majesty's wishes." ”

Princess Qing said, "But where is the queen mother?"

King Qing shook his head, "It's okay, the queen mother will understand us." ”

At the beginning of the emperor's accession to the throne, due to the tight war at the border pass, the emperor drove the imperial expedition in person, and the queen mother took advantage of the emperor's absence to intervene in the government several times to attract ministers to intervene in the government and support the power of his mother.

It's a pity that the Queen Mother is not the queen's opponent, and she didn't succeed once.

The harem is in the hands of the queen, and it is impregnable, even if the queen mother is plotting, it will not be able to surpass her.

It's just that the queen did it skillfully, she did not clash with the queen mother head-on, but secretly sabotaged the queen mother's good deeds.

The Queen Mother has always been worried about this, she thinks that this is the emperor's doing.

But at that time, the emperor only ascended the throne, which means that the emperor never trusted her, and the queen mother was really sad.

When the emperor learned of the Queen Mother's intentions, he was annoyed that the Queen Mother couldn't see the situation clearly.

I think that at the beginning of his ascension to the throne, there were many things to do, plus the border war, the queen mother did not help take care of the harem, and also caused chaos in the previous dynasty, and the emperor also had an opinion on the queen mother since then.

King Qing is different from other princes, he was born to the Queen Mother like the emperor.

The emperor's attitude made the queen mother have other thoughts.

It's a pity that he doesn't want to subvert the imperial brother's country, so he is very distant from the queen mother.

Especially in the past few years, except for the New Year's holidays, he rarely enters the palace.

Xiao Ruide stood aside, he liked the way King Qing and Princess Qing got along.

He is the smartest child of the Xiao family's peers.

His eyes are unforgettable, so that he has no friends since he was a child.

He wanted to marry a wife like her mother.

Often the father doesn't need to say much, just a look, and the mother and concubine immediately understand.

This is what he dreamed of, but many people did not understand him.

He envies King Qing, in Xiao Ruide's eyes, King Qing is a good husband and father.

He remembers that when he was a child, many people laughed at his mother for giving birth to a fool.

But his father said that no matter how many concubines there are in King Qing's mansion, no matter how many concubines there are in the mansion.

King Qing's son will only be him, and Princess Qing will only be his mother.

After so many years, no matter how foolish he is, the prince of King Qing is still him.

And Princess Qing, who has only one son and one daughter, has always been in charge of the power of King Qing's mansion.

Princess Qing looked at King Qing and said softly, "But it's confirmed?"

She wanted to ask if the identities of Dong Ruyi and Xiao Ruijing had been determined? It's just that Xiao Ruide is here, and she can't ask too directly.

Xiao Ruide listened inexplicably, but King Qing understood what Princess Qing meant.

King Qing shook his head and said, "It's not clear, I'm afraid that Your Majesty already has an answer in his heart." ”

Princess Qing glanced at Xiao Ruide, "You're tired too, go and rest!"

Obviously, Princess Qing is driving people away.

Xiao Ruide looked at Princess Qing and signaled her to remember the matter of marrying Dong Ruyi.

He saw Princess Qing nodding before leaving.

King Qing said: "This kid won't do anything bad again, right?"

Princess Qing sighed, "I still have a glimmer of hope, Dong Ruyi has nothing to do with the Xiao family." ”

King Qing was puzzled: "Why does the princess think so?"

Princess Qing reluctantly said that Xiao Ruide liked Dong Ruyi, and even said what she said with her son.

King Qing said: "This stinky boy, does he think the house is too quiet?"

Princess Qing was also very helpless about this.

"The concubine has been thinking about it for a long time, and when His Majesty engages him, this matter will be light, after all, the Dong family will not let Ruyi's child be a concubine. ”

The acting king admitted that the acting princess said that he was not entangled in marrying Dong Ruyi.

They went on to talk about Xiao Ruijing.

The voice of the maid came from outside the door, "Princess Qiyu, Mother Wu next to my cousin's wife is here, saying that she wants to inquire about how their young lady and young master got out of the palace?"

Princess Qing and King Qing glanced at each other.

Princess Qing said: "I won't see her today, let her tell Mrs. Dong, and say that she is in trouble on behalf of the prince." ”

Although Mother Wu didn't see Princess Qing herself, Princess Qing's words made the Chen family still feel a lot more at ease.

If something really happened to the prince of the king, it naturally had nothing to do with them, after all, they were just courtiers.

But King Qing, as a child of the royal family, can't ignore it, they always have to persuade him.

Xiao Ruide wilted directly, Princess Qing thought that Xiao Ruide had figured it out, and all this was sad.

But in fact, Xiao Ruide did not give up, he was thinking in the long run, he knew that since he wanted the emperor's consent, then he had only one way to go, and that was to ask for His Majesty's grace.

He is by the emperor's side, and although a grace is not easy, it is not difficult.

Xiao Ruijing angered His Majesty, and the matter of frightening the princess and prince came out directly.

But the emperor's punishment was too heavy, the title of the prince was cut, and he was banned from entering the palace.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty all knew that His Majesty was in a state of avoidance at the moment. The acting king was brought up by the emperor, and the acting princess was the niece of the queen mother.

The holy decree is to go to the palace of the king with Xiao Ruijing.

When the king heard this, he did not say anything, but he received the decree and went back to his study.

The acting princess angrily pulled Xiao Ruijing to enter the palace, but the holy decree had been issued, Xiao Ruijing was blocked outside the palace, and he could not enter the palace.

The acting princess left Xiao Ruijing and went to the queen mother alone.

At this moment, the Queen Mother also just learned about the deposed prince of the king.

When the princess reached the queen mother's side, she began to cry, "Auntie, my niece is such a son as Ruijing, and the imperial brother is like this, this is my niece's life." ”

The Queen Mother said: "The mourning family has already asked the emperor about this matter." ”

The princess didn't come to ask for an explanation, she wanted Xiao Ruijing's position as the son.

"Aunt, you also know that the acting king is Ruijing's son, and the royal brother doesn't want to leave the position of the prince to Ruijing, so who is he going to give it to?

Whining... Ruijing is not yet seven years old, how can the imperial brother punish him like this?"

The Queen Mother sighed and said, "Look at what you look like?

Princess Dai cried: "My niece asked when she was on the way, and Ruijing didn't know why the royal brother was angry.

Presumably the royal brother was in a bad mood for a while, so he lost his temper with Ruijing. ”

The Queen Mother took a deep breath, "Look at what you said?"

No wonder there are so many children, but your son has angered the emperor.

Honggu, tell the princess what happened. ”

Aunt Hong is the old grandmother next to the Queen Mother, she has never married in her life, and her status in the palace is quite high.

Honggu briefly talked about what happened in the Imperial Garden.

The princess's face turned red and white when she heard this, and she said angrily: "This bastard boy, see if your niece will clean him up when she goes back."

It's just that Ruijing is young, why should the royal brother be like him. ”

The Queen Mother sighed and said: "The mourning family has already said that the emperor has indeed done it this time." ”
