Chapter 56: Fifty-Six Fairness
The queen's words made the little palace maid sudden, but Zhao Jinyan and Fu Yuan didn't think there was anything strange, only when the queen suddenly woke up and heard the next person's advice.
Fu Hui and Zhao Jinyan didn't have any idea of rejection when they heard this, Zhao Jinyan glanced at Fu Yuan, and said softly in a consultative tone: "Since it is rare for the queen mother to have the spirit to see people, let's go in and see the queen mother." I remember that the queen mother has always liked you, and later you will persuade the queen mother to invite her to the palace of the emperor and grandmother for lunch. After all, the queen mother hasn't come out for a long time. β
Fleur nodded noncommittally.
The two of them turned around and walked towards Qifeng Palace again.
When Fu Hui and Zhao Jinyan walked into the palace, they found that the queen was already waiting in the palace, and she was very energetic, although she was still dressed during the national funeral, but she rarely looked good.
Zhao Jinyan saw it from afar, but a trace of doubt suddenly rose in his heart. The queen has been sick all these days, although Zhao Jinyan is now the emperor, but as the adopted son of the queen, Zhao Jinyan is acting like this, and naturally he has to go to the queen to ask for a visit, Zhao Jinyan just came to see the queen not long ago, and the queen at that time was not like this.
However, although he was puzzled, he didn't come out, but walked into the main hall with Fleur and saluted the queen.
Empress Wen sat on the top and looked at Zhao Jinyan and Fu Hui who walked in side by side, a trace of darkness flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her kind appearance, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, until Zhao Jinyan and Fu Hui walked in to salute her, she hurriedly called up, and asked people to watch the tea.
Zhao Jinyan looked at Empress Wen's spirited appearance, and the doubts in his heart deepened more and more, but he still said with a smile on his face: "Seeing that the queen mother is getting better now, Erchen is also happy in his heart. β
"The emperor bothered."
Empress Wen also smiled when she heard this. Her eyes quickly fell on Fleur's body again, and she said softly: "Fleur hasn't entered the palace for a long time, and the queen mother hasn't seen Fleur for a long time. β
As soon as Empress Wen's words fell, a trace of surprise flashed on the faces of Fu Hui and Zhao Jinyan, especially Fu Rui, who couldn't help but glance up at Queen Wen.
How could Empress Wen claim to be the queen mother to her?
Furao's heart was full of doubts, Queen Wen has always treated her kindly, and she would not serve her in the past, but she usually just called herself aunt or something else, this title of the queen mother, Furao should have been a little frightened. But Fu Hui didn't think much about it, she just thought it was caused by Queen Wen's mistake, and looked at Queen Wen still with a kind look. Fu Rui hurriedly smiled and replied softly: "Fu Rui also entered the palace, but I heard that the queen mother was sick, so I didn't dare to disturb her." In addition, her mother has also been sick recently, and Fleur also wants to spend more time with her mother......"
Fleur finished talking softly, and when she looked up at the queen again, she found that the queen's expression seemed to be in a trance, and she was still looking at her with kind eyes, but she ...... Looking at this gaze at this moment, Fleur felt a little hairy in her heart.
After Fu Rui finished speaking, Empress Wen didn't speak, Fu Rui faintly felt a little embarrassed, and couldn't help but subconsciously look at Zhao Jinyan who was sitting on top of her. And Zhao Jinyan also faintly felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere. After thinking about it, he smiled and said from Queen Wen: "Speaking of which, the queen mother has been ill for a long time recently, and I almost forgot to tell the queen mother, the will on the title and the relocation of the palace have been drawn up, and it can be issued in the near future, and the people in the queen mother's palace can also be prepared." β
"Do you want to move the palace?"
When Empress Wen heard Zhao Jinyan's words, she came back to her senses and looked at Zhao Jinyan.
Zhao Jinyan smiled and nodded, thought about it and added a sentence to Empress Wen: "The matter of the imperial sister-in-law and the imperial nephew, I have also discussed with the imperial grandmother, and I plan to crown the imperial nephew as Prince Ning, and the mansion is located in the palace five miles away from the palace City, Prince Yuanli's mansion, I let people go to see it, this place is very well preserved, and the mansion is wide, so I will not wronged the imperial sister-in-law and imperial nephew." β
Prince Li is the brother of the first emperor, his biological mother is Jing Guifei, who was the favorite child of Zhao Jinyan's grandfather, because he was weak and sick since he was a child, and later after the first emperor ascended the throne, the Empress Dowager Wen and the first emperor also treated this Prince Li well, but Prince Li's body was too bad, and he left without staying until he left the heir. The palace of the prince of Li, which was given by the royal court, has also been taken back and has been retained.
Because of the rush of affairs now, it is not easy to find a mansion that is suitable for the future Prince Ning's mother and son......
Zhao Jinyan now chose this Yuanli Prince's Mansion, and he also thought about it again and again, and discussed it carefully with the Empress Dowager Wen before making the decision.
It's just that when Queen Wen heard this, she suddenly said: "The palace of Prince Nali is unlucky, there are so many palaces in the palace, why can't you let the crown princess and the eldest grandson live in the palace?" β
As soon as Queen Wen said this, Mo said that Zhao Jinyan felt embarrassed, but Fu Hui listened to it on the side, and felt a little embarrassed.
It's really a little too inappropriate, Fu Yuan subconsciously looked up at Zhao Jinyan, but when she saw Zhao Jinyan, her expression quickly returned to normal, and she just said lightly to Queen Wen's tone: "This is what the imperial grandmother meant." β
When Zhao Jinyan said this, he didn't mean to put the blame on the Empress Dowager Wen, if it was an explanation, it would be better to say that he was beating and reminding Empress Wen.
It's not wrong to say that Queen Wen's words are true, the palace is indeed very large, and it is not impossible to let the former princess and the eldest grandson stay in the palace, but the queen mother has already said that she will not raise the eldest grandson, and Queen Wen did not mention that she wants to raise the eldest grandson, if the two of them live in the palace, it is very inappropriate. After all, this palace, especially the harem, is inhabited by either the emperor's elders, or the emperor's women and heirs.
In fact, Zhao Jinyan's treatment of the former crown princess was quite preferential, thinking of the love of the first prince, and thinking of the heirs that the first princess had already given birth to, so he allowed the first princess to go out of the palace with the eldest grandson to the palace to be a concubine, if the royal family treats the former princess harshly, Zhao Jinyan can send the first princess and even the eldest grandson to the place where the princess lives. Although it is also in the palace, the place is desolate and lonely and can no longer be regarded as a palace.
Zhao Jinyan deliberately reminded Empress Wen, but after listening to Zhao Jinyan's words, Empress Wen didn't say anything about it, but instead looked at Fleur, and said in a rather lonely tone: "How good it is for everyone to live in the palace together, Furao also comes to live in the palace, and lives with the queen mother, the prince is gone, let's be a good companion!" β
ββ¦β¦β
Hearing this, Fu Rui suddenly raised her head and looked at Queen Wen.
And Zhao Jinyan's face also showed surprise this time.
Fleur hesitated for a long time, and then reluctantly smiled and said: "Uncle said that I laughed, where can Fleur live in the palace, not to mention, my mother is still waiting for Fleur at home!" β
Zhao Jinyan also couldn't help but speak: "What Cousin Fu said is right, the queen mother can't joke casually, otherwise others will listen to it, and I'm afraid that they will gossip." β
"What are you gossiping?" Empress Wen raised her eyelids, glanced at Fu Rui with her eyes wandering, and then at Zhao Jinyan, and suddenly said something that made Zhao Jinyan and Fu Rui completely stunned: "Jin Yan, you are really, this palace knows that you have a good relationship with the prince, but in the end, you still have to know to avoid suspicion." Prince...... Gone, Fluffie is a widow, so you should avoid suspicion even more......"
"The Queen's Mother......"
Fu Rui stood up in shock, and looked at Queen Wen with a suspicious gaze.
And Zhao Jinyan also frowned, and even ignored that Queen Wen was an elder and said directly: "I'm afraid that the queen mother is confused, and my cousin is still waiting to be married, what do you mean by this?" β
When Empress Wen heard this, she suddenly laughed, looked at Zhao Jinyan and said softly: "You kid, didn't the emperor say that he wanted Fu Hui to marry the crown prince?" Although the prince left in a hurry, this ceremony was not held, but the matter of the former emperor Chrysostom Yuyan, how can it be said that Fu Hui is still waiting to be married! β
"The Queen's Mother......"
Fu Rui's fists were clenched tightly, and when she was about to speak, suddenly Zhao Jinyan was in front of Fu Rui, and said to Queen Wen: "Don't forget the queen mother, Aunt Jinyang had already refused at that time, and my father did not insist. β
Queen Wen didn't expect that Zhao Jinyan would speak for Fu Hui and refute her like this.
After she looked at Zhao Jinyan for a long time, she slowly said a word: "Your Majesty, when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was alive, he always treated you well, and this palace admits that he has never treated you badly, and now you are not even willing to fulfill the prince's last wish for him?" β
When Zhao Jinyan heard this, he glanced at Empress Wen, then turned his head to look at Fu Yuan, and replied softly: "I have always remembered the friendship with the imperial brother, so I remember the imperial brother's last wish before he died, not to let my cousin marry him, but to let my cousin be happy and healthy in this life." β
"What the emperor said about fulfilling his last wish is to make eye contact with this woman when your imperial brother's bones are not cold, in order to sit on this throne, you really do everything, and you can do everything with your conscience!"
"The queen mother said this is too punishing, today is my grandmother let me and the emperor come out to pick plum blossoms, the emperor to filial piety, specially on the way to Cihua Palace, came to Fengqi Palace, want to send some plum blossoms with the queen mother, when the queen also entered the house, the emperor also said that he wanted the queen mother's condition to improve quickly, and wanted to invite the queen mother to go out for a walk together. It's too much for you to say such chilling things now! β
Fu Hui listened to Queen Wen's words, the more she spoke, the more unseemly she became, she didn't want to hide behind Zhao Jinyan, but she didn't care about etiquette, so she walked out of her body directly and said to Queen Wen.
And Empress Wen listened to Fu Yuan's words, but she sneered, and she no longer had the gentle and graceful appearance of the past. Also, no one wants to see her gentle and graceful appearance now, so she naturally doesn't have to pretend to be like that.
"Speaking of chilling, who can be more chilling than this palace, and more chilling than the prince under Jiuquan. You are a good skill, when the prince was alive, the prince treated you as a pain in the eyeballs, and always thought about you protecting you and loving you, and now that the prince is gone, he hooked up with the emperor so quickly, and let the emperor protect you...... Yes, now this palace can't do anything with you, there is no way, but you think that this Zhao Jinyan will really like you, if you don't look at your mother......"
The queen's words stopped abruptly, but she suddenly laughed with a little madness: "This palace doesn't say it, this palace is waiting to see what happens to you, waiting to see what happens to you if you betray the prince......"
The last few words of the queen made people shudder, and Fu Rao had a clear conscience, and she shuddered unconsciously.
But Zhao Jinyan frowned, seeing that the queen was not speechless, he just escorted Fu Hui outside, until he reached the door, he stopped, and said coldly to Queen Wen: "The queen mother is delirious today, and what she says, I will not care about you, and no one will care about you." But the queen mother should know that the face is to be kept by herself, not given by others, if the queen mother is not full of kuΓ i restore fΓΉ, it has always been like this, after a long time, no one really cares about what the queen mother does. β
"My husband is gone, my son is gone, what do you care about, I still need you to care about me!"
Empress Wen sneered, her smile was lonely, she looked at Zhao Jinyan's figure escorting Fu Rui away, her eyes were full of unwillingness.
On this trip to Qifeng Palace, Fu Rui and Zhao Jinyan were in a bad mood when they left.
After the two walked silently for a long time, Zhao Jinyan said softly: "You don't remember the matter of Fang Cai, the queen mother...... She just took too much of a hit. Grandmother and Aunt Jinyang's side ......"
When Zhao Jinyan said this, in fact, he didn't mean to speak for the queen, and if Empress Wen and the eldest princess of Jinyang knew about it, it would definitely be dealt with. But Zhao Jinyan obviously didn't want Empress Wen to be disposed of.
When Fu Rui heard this, she didn't wait for Zhao Jinyan to finish her words a little intermittently, so she immediately smiled calmly: "The emperor is too worried, today's matter, Fu Rui will keep his mouth shut, and no one else will know." β
Zhao Jinyan heard this, smiled, and also laughed a little at Fuyuan's innocence. In fact, the things in the palace are not tight-lipped and there will really be no one else who knows.
Empress Wen's matter today, will the eldest princess of Jinyang know that Zhao Jinyan doesn't know, but he knows, I'm afraid that this matter has already reached the ears of Empress Dowager Wen a step earlier, and the reason why he watched this move and let Fu Mo sue is of course not because he doesn't want Empress Dowager Wen to know, but to avoid Empress Dowager Wen from disposing of Empress Wen. After all, if Furui really sued, Empress Dowager Wen naturally had to say something.
"I've wronged my cousin."
Zhao Jinyan said softly, with a little guilt in his tone.
Hearing this, Fleur shook her head with a smile, her smile was very calm, as if she really didn't care about this matter at all.
And when Zhao Jinyan saw this, the guilt in his heart deepened more and more, in fact, what he really felt guilty about was not that he brought Fu Hui to Qifeng Palace to suffer this anger, but his own thoughts not long ago, in fact, he and Queen Wen had the same idea at the beginning, and he had long believed in his heart that Fu Yuan was Zhao Jinyuan's person, but he never considered whether it was fair to a little girl who was only a teenager.
