Chapter Seventy-Four: Return to Beijing
There was no word all night, and the next day the emperor announced that he would drive back to Beijing.
For the current Yu Mingzhi, this trip to the paddock was thrilling, but in the end it all turned into nothingness.
And the officials, big and small, and the relatives of the concubines, felt that they had walked away from the ghost gate.
The emperor is uncertain, the front foot has to severely punish Li Yushi, and a fire on the back foot seems to have burned his anger, after comforting Li Yushi, as if nothing had happened, wave his hand and drive back to the palace.
Even if the atmosphere is much more relaxed, sitting on the phoenix, the delicate makeup can't hide the deep tiredness. The queen held her forehead and sighed a few times before she said to Yu Mingzhi, who was accompanying her, "Miss Guo is frightened, right?" ”
Yu Mingzhi hung her head slightly, her slightly frowning brows revealed a little fear, and she replied softly: "I haven't slept well for two nights, but fortunately, I am better with the company of the Qin She." ”
A flash of joy flashed on the queen's face, "Qin Sheren has been with you all the time?" ”
"Yes." Yu Mingzhi nodded, "Almost never leave, only when the emperor came up, their monarchs and ministers talked for a while, because they were bored to listen to me, and allowed the people to rest." ”
The queen nodded with satisfaction, it seems that the emperor has resisted the urge to make a move against the relatives of his courtiers.
"Qin Sheren is really considerate to Miss Guo." She said.
Yu Mingzhi pretended to be shy, "Niangniang......"
The queen covered her mouth and smiled, "On the day you get married, I will prepare another generous gift to congratulate you on your great joy." ”
Yu Mingzhi stood up and saluted, "Queen Xie's love." ”
The queen said: "Wherever and where, the people of Qinshe have made great contributions to the country's society, and you are gentle and considerate, sensible and well-behaved, and you are deeply loved by me." Miss Guo doesn't have to be polite to outsiders, I said that we just treat ourselves like family. ”
Judging from the tone, Yu Mingzhi obviously felt that the queen's attitude towards him was much kinder.
"The emperor has agreed to let you come to the palace to accompany you, and your days in the palace will be much easier in the future." The queen sighed meaningfully, "The troublesome people and things that should not be seen don't need to be seen again." ”
Yu Mingzhi knew that she was referring to Concubine Zhao Shu, although the emperor also favored the queen, but having an extra concubine who shared the holy favor always made people feel uncomfortable.
There will not be too many allies, not to mention that one more of her is to further win over Qin Ji, whether it is against Zhao Shufei or Zhao Zhong's family, the chance of winning is greater.
Even if it costs more gold and silver, it will be worth it.
Yu Mingzhi said: "The people's daughter must accompany her mother wholeheartedly." ”
The queen smiled so much that her eyes were crooked into crescents, took her hand, looked at the fair and smooth skin, and couldn't help but praise her.
Yu Mingzhi looked at his hands, the scarred hands that had been tortured in prison and exile, and leaned on Qin Ji's ointment, and now he was almost back to the way he was at home.
She was slightly distracted and perfunctory with a few words of praise from the queen.
The queen thought that she had let go of her restraints, and their relationship was one step closer, and she smiled slightly.
At this time, a palace person outside shouted: "Queen Mother, Concubine Shu asks to see." ”
The queen glanced at Yu Mingzhi, her eyebrows raised, "I don't see." Miss Guo has something to say to me, which is inconvenient. ”
The palace man replied, "Yes".
Yu Mingzhi noticed the queen's eyes, easily pushed the window open a small gap, and saw that Concubine Zhao Shufei had a straight face and took the palace maid away.
"They're gone." She returned to the Queen.
The queen said: "The weasel greets the chickens." Fortunately, you are here, and you can have an excuse, thank you Sister Baozhi. ”
Yu Mingzhi smiled and said, "Yes, the queen wants to thank me for seeing me outside." ”
The queen smiled so much that she almost saw her eyeballs, and told her to sit closer to her, "Sister Baozhi is really considerate, no wonder the people of Qin She love you so much." ”
Yu Mingzhi laughed with him, chatting with the queen all the way to the capital, and then he was "reluctant" to separate. She got out of the phoenix and saw the young man who was following Qin Ji standing not far away, and there was a carriage next to her.
She remembered that this young man's name was Hang Yang, and she stepped forward and asked, "What about the Qin Sheren?" ”
Hang Yang said: "The son needs to accompany the holy driver, and ordered his subordinates to escort the young lady back to the Yang family." ”
Yu Mingzhi couldn't help but look at the palace gate, the mighty convoy had not yet finished, and the person who was the first to be seen had long been gone.
That is far from over, and success or failure still needs to be planned.
