Seeing that the New Year is approaching, all families are busy preparing for the New Year, and they want to have a good year with their families, but the Yushitai broke this peaceful New Year's festival and set off another storm in the court.
Yushitai, who has always not looked at people's faces, is no one else participating this time, it is the queen's maiden family, the Shun'an Hou Mansion, and there are more than ten charges listed on the fold, corruption and bribery, buying and selling official positions, all on it, and the evidence is conclusive, and even the amount of silver taels received from someone on which day and year is clearly written, just like the people of Yushitai recorded it on the scene at that time.
The evidence is conclusive, and despite the quibbles of Shun'an Hou, the emperor still directly took his title in the court, and all the relevant personnel were imprisoned, and even the Xian King and the queen were implicated in this matter, both of them were grounded, and the harem was temporarily managed by the concubine.
All of a sudden, the nobles in Beijing have reined in their hands and feet, and they are afraid that they will become cannon fodder under the emperor's wrath if they are not careful.
In the palace, the queen took off all the jewelry on her body, and insisted on kneeling outside the imperial study in plain color despite the persuasion of the palace people. When the emperor heard this, he put down the fold in his hand heavily: "Didn't I ground her?" Who had the audacity to let her out. ”
Hearing this, the palace people present felt silent, that was the queen, she insisted on breaking out of Fengxiang Palace, how could they, the palace people, stop her.
"Since she wants to kneel, let her kneel." The emperor is angry, so he naturally doesn't want to see the queen.
After speaking, the emperor picked up the fold and read it, and the palace people next to him didn't dare to mention it when they saw it, so they quietly withdrew.
Until it was time for dinner, the palace people served the meal, and the eunuchs around the emperor couldn't help but mention it when they saw that the emperor hadn't received the queen, and the emperor frowned: "She hasn't left yet." After a pause, he added, "Let the queen in." ”
The eunuch breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately the emperor was a little angry and did not anger him.
After a while, the queen was helped in, because she knelt outside the hall for more than two hours, she is now a little unsteady walking, the emperor originally saw the queen's appearance, and felt a little guilty, but when he saw the queen's outfit, he couldn't help but feel angry: "What do you mean by dressing up!" ”
The queen took the hand of the palace man and knelt down gently: "The concubine is now wearing a sinful body, how dare she wear gold and silver." ”
The emperor snorted coldly: "I don't think you dare to wear gold and silver, but you just want to deceive my pity with this appearance and intercede for your father." ”
The queen raised her head and looked directly at the man she had been married to for many years, this is her husband, and at the same time this is also her king, but she will never be her lover: "The concubine knows that her father's sins are unforgivable, but the concubine is a child, how can there be a father who suffers in prison and enjoys the glory and wealth in peace, the concubine does not ask the emperor to forgive her father, but her father is old, and she is afraid that she will not be able to withstand the disaster of prison, and the concubine is willing to bear all the punishment for her father, and only asks the emperor to let her father out of prison, even if it is to confine him in a depressed courtyard." ”
"Nonsense." The emperor didn't expect the always shrewd queen to be so confused, so he couldn't help but point at her and scolded loudly, "You know how ridiculous it is that you are asking for something, if I allow you, I am afraid that I will be laughed at and generous by the world." ”
"Your Majesty! The concubine didn't know that this was a ridiculous thing, but after all, it was the father of the concubine, how could the concubine bear to see him suffer. As she spoke, tears flowed from the corners of the queen's eyes.
The emperor sighed lightly, stepped forward and pulled the queen up: "I know your filial piety, and I also know that you and Ziyu don't know about the affairs of the Marquis of Shun'an, but the queen, you have married into the royal family, you have long been a royal person, everything should be considered for the royal family first, and don't forget, you still have Ziyu, can you bear to see Ziyu lose your mother after losing the support of her uncle?" ”
Hearing this, the queen was stunned and couldn't help muttering, "Your Majesty." ”
The emperor patted the queen's hand: "The words have come to this, you go back and think about it." ”
The queen was blessed, and walked out of the imperial study with the support of the palace people, and returned to Fengxiang Palace, the palace maid beside the queen immediately brought the ointment, and while carefully medicating the queen, she said distressedly: "Niangniang, you know that the emperor is angry, why bother to find it at this time, you see that your knees are blue." ”
The queen endured the pain while saying: "It is precisely because the emperor is angry that the palace wants to see the emperor at this time, no one wants their pillow person to remain calm in the face of his father's imprisonment, and the emperor is no exception, if the palace does not intercede for his father, in the eyes of the emperor, this is not smart, but cold-blooded, although the palace has suffered some crimes this time, but it has left a good impression on the emperor, a confused but filial queen is better than a cold-blooded queen, and now for the palace and Ziyu, All we can rely on is the emperor's favor. ”
"What about the Shun'an Hou Mansion? Fortunately, Mrs. Shizi's maiden family was not implicated, and I heard that Mrs. Shizi had returned to her parents' house with the child. ”
The queen rubbed her forehead, and a trace of coldness flashed in her eyes: "Didn't Bengong's father and elder brother think that this was roasting Bengong and Ziyu on the fire when they were doing this kind of thing?" Since they had already given up on Bengong and Ziyu, why did Bengong care about their life or death. ”
In King Xian's Mansion, since Li Yu was grounded, he has been nesting in Ning Miao's courtyard, staying at home, and outsiders who don't know the inside story really think that he was hit by this incident and began to live a decadent life.
But Ning Miao, who stays with Li Yu every day, knows that this guy doesn't take grounding seriously at all, and writes and paints every day after sleeping and drinking, and then goes to the yard to walk around twice.
Just when Ning Miao was looking at the account book and slandering a certain leisurely prince, Mama Wu walked in.
Seeing Mama Wu's helpless expression, Ning Miao guessed what was going on, and said directly: "Xu Huashang is here again?" ”
In the past few days, Xu Huashang came over every day to ask to see Li Yu, but Li Yu directly threw Xu Huashang to Ning Miao and asked her to deal with it.
Mama Wu nodded, Ning Miao glanced at Li Yu hatefully, obviously he was so idle, obviously he was his side concubine, why did he want her to deal with it, why did she work tirelessly every day to help him take care of the family affairs and take care of his concubine's room, Ning Miao closed the account book and stood up suddenly.
Li Yu picked up the teacup and took a sip, saw Ning Miao get up, and said softly: "It's hard work." ”
Ning Miao's heart was even more distorted when she heard this, she turned her head and glanced at Li Yu coldly, before she walked out reluctantly, Li Yu touched his nose strangely, he just behaved like a model husband, why was Ning Miao still unhappy.
Xu Huashang sat in the main hall and waited for a long time, heard the footsteps, hurriedly stood up, looked at the door with expectant eyes, and when she saw Ning Miao coming, her eyes darkened.
"Does the prince still refuse to see me?" Xu Huasheng's expression was lonely.
"The prince will naturally meet you after thinking clearly, you don't have to come every day." Ning Miao said in a gentle tone as much as possible, constantly telling herself in her heart to be dignified and generous.
Xu Huashang bit her lip and suddenly walked towards Ning Miao's house: "No, I must see the prince today." But before he took a few steps, he was stopped by the maid who had been prepared for a long time, it seems that this is not the first time Xu Huashang has done this.
Ning Miao sighed, what is this woman thinking, not to mention that Li Yu has already expressed his attitude now that he will not help the Shun'an Hou Mansion, even if Li Yu is willing to help, but now that he is imprisoned at home, what has he done?
After the accident in the Hou Mansion of Shun'an, Xu Huashang was frightened day and night, and her nerves were already fragile, but she was stopped by the maid at this time, Xu Huashang became angry in her heart, and immediately yelled at Ning Miao: "Ning Miao, do you have a conscience, even if I have done something sorry for you before, but now that such a big thing has happened to my mother's family, and my grandfather and father are still suffering in the prison cell, can't you be kind enough to help me once?" What is your intention in stopping me to see the prince like this, don't forget, it is not only my grandfather and father, but also the prince's maternal grandfather and uncle! ”
Ning Miao was already impatient to deal with Xu Huasheng in her heart, and when she heard this, she didn't want to give Xu Huashang face, so she sneered and said: "This concubine naturally remembers the identity of your mother's relatives, if they are not the prince's uncle, the prince will not be implicated now, grounded in the mansion, and can't even go to the court." Are you mentioning your father and grandfather here because you are afraid that the prince will forget that he was implicated by them? ”
When Xu Huashang heard this, her face turned pale, and she also understood that it would not work at all with Ning Miao here, so she was also smart, and immediately softened her attitude, her eyes were red, and she pleaded: "Princess, the concubine is too sad to talk nonsense, you don't want to be like a concubine, I beg you, let me meet the prince." ”
If Xu Huashang had this attitude from the beginning, even if Ning Miao wouldn't let her see Li Yu, she would at least let her persuade her a few words, so that she wouldn't be able to get off the stage, but now, it's too late!
"I said, it's not that I won't let you see the prince, it's that the prince doesn't want to see you, you go back."
"Princess, think about it, if this happens to the British Mansion, will you give up a chance to save your family?"
Ning Miao glanced at Xu Huashang and said lightly: "No." Xu Huasheng's eyes flashed with a glimmer of hope, and then he heard Ning Miao continue: "But my grandfather and father will never do anything that hurts the country's body, at least as long as I am the princess of Xian one day, they will not do anything to drag King Xian back." ”
"You don't have to come over in the future, if the prince wants to see you, he will naturally summon you, and if you come again, I won't see you again." After speaking, Ning Miao turned around and left.
Xu Huashang collapsed to the ground and cried in a low voice.
Back in the house, Ning Miao didn't give Li Yu a good look, Li Yu stepped forward: "What's the matter, are you angry?" ”
Ning Miao sat at the desk, continued to look at the account book, and replied with a smile: "How dare you be angry with the prince." ”
Li Yu shrugged his nose, knowing that Ning Miao was really angry, stood up, walked around the house a few times, and suddenly his eyes lit up, he leaned in front of Ning Miao, and pulled out the account book in Ning Miao's hand: "Change clothes, I'll take you out for a walk." ”
"Huh?" Ning Miao was a little puzzled, and before she had time to ask, she was pushed by Li Yu to change her clothes. (.)
