Chapter 100: Please the Emperor
Yongshou Palace
"Auntie, this strength is okay" Xia Yuning was wearing a light red rose-scented tight-fitting robe with sleeves, covered with an emerald green smoke yarn loose flower skirt, tied into a bow with gold silk soft smoke around her waist, and her sideburns hanging low and obliquely inserting jasper phoenix hairpins, showing a slender figure, covering up her usual innocence, and she looked even more charming at this time.
This outfit was chosen by the Queen Mother.
"Okay, good, it's still Yu'er's skill, pinching the mourning family's whole body is comfortable, as if a few years younger" The queen mother raised her arms and moved, feeling a lot more comfortable.
"Auntie, you are already very young, look" Xia Yuning said, leaning her face over, "Look, if Yu'er walks with you, people who don't know will think that you are Yu'er's sister."
"How can it be so exaggerated, the mourning family is old" Although the Queen Mother said this, she still laughed happily after listening to Xia Yuning's words.
Being praised for being young will naturally be happy if she is a woman, let alone the Queen Mother, who is not old.
The word Queen Mother sounds very old, but she became the Queen Mother at a young age.
"Auntie, you're not old at all, you see, you don't have a single wrinkle, so you're young"
"Queen Mother" Gu Qing's voice remembered when the Queen Mother was talking to Xia Yuning, Xia Yuning heard the voice, and lowered her head a little nervously to smooth her clothes.
"Didn't you go and invite the emperor over, the emperor?" The Queen Mother asked, it has been a while since she asked Gu Qing to invite, and Gu Qing should be enough to invite during this time, now, why is she the only one.
"Back to the Queen Mother, the emperor didn't come" Gu Qing's answer made Xia Yuning, who was originally bowing her head and shy, her face stiffened, the emperor, the king, no, over, come!
"Why didn't you come, could it be that the emperor has something more important than the rain"
"This, the emperor's ......" Gu Qing felt that it was not going well today, he had just stammered on the emperor's side, and now he stammered.
"Where is the Emperor?"
"The emperor rests in Fengxiang Palace"
"Rested in Fengxiang Palace, this is what the emperor said" The Empress Dowager Yan zhòng is sure, is it because Luo Jia knew about Xia Yuning, and then did not let the emperor come.
"No, this is what the old slave saw with his own eyes, the emperor is resting on the soft couch" Gu Qing was very unhappy when she heard the queen mother ask, so she immediately denied it.
It's not the emperor who said it, the emperor also helped her call the emperor, but the emperor didn't think about it, and the emperor couldn't help it.
"The mourning family knows, you can step back for the time being"
"Yes"
"You guys go down too" The Queen Mother waved her hand, and the other palace maids in the Yongshou Palace also withdrew.
When only the Queen Mother and Xia Yuning were left in the Yongshou Palace, Xia Yuning's sobbing voice sounded faintly.
"Rain! Don't worry, there's an aunt here" The Queen Mother naturally knew why Xia Yuning was crying, so she comforted her.
The emperor refused to come to Yongshou Palace, what does it mean, you don't have to guess to know, this matter doesn't have to be tomorrow, maybe there will be many people who will know her position as a concubine of the rain, and it is unstable.
"Auntie, cousin emperor, do you hate Yu'er, did Yu'er do something wrong to make cousin emperor hate it" Tears rolled in her eyes, and then slipped down her sockets, she looked so aggrieved.
"Yu'er didn't do anything wrong, how could Tian'er hate Yu'er, maybe Tian'er is really tired, after all, he and Jia'er went out of the palace for a day" However, the queen mother always felt that it was not the object of rest, the emperor and the queen went out of the palace together for a day, and they were usually tired Aren't they all women's, and it should be the emperor who was originally relatively weak to rest, how can she replace it with her healthy son? ”
"Auntie, what about that rain" What should she do, she will be laughed at like this.
"You are the concubine chosen by the mourning family for the emperor, who dares to say no, the mourning family will punish him heavily" The queen mother knew Xia Yuning's worries, so she gave her a reassurance, she chose this concubine, could it be that she was the queen mother of the emperor and the queen mother of the imperial capital, so she couldn't choose a concubine for her son.
"Yu'er, thank you, aunt" Xia Yuning wiped the tears from her cheeks and showed a smile of gratitude to the Queen Mother.
"Empress Dowager Qi" Gu Qing's voice came, slightly anxious.
"What's the matter?"
"Queen Mother, Lord Ning asks to see"
"Ning'er! It's so late, why is Ning'er here? Let her in."
"Yes" Gu Qing went out, and when she arrived at the door, she saw Xia Jianing, "Lord Ning, the Queen Mother asked you to ......" Gu Qing's words were only halfway through, Xia Jiaoning had already disappeared in front of her and went in.
"Aunt Queen Mother" Xia Jiaoning cried and threw herself in front of the Queen Mother regardless of her image. "Aunt Queen Mother, please save my brother"
"Ning'er, get up quickly, what's going on, what's wrong with Fei'er"
"Brother, what's wrong with him" Hearing that her brother had an accident, Xia Yuning was also anxious, why did she enter the palace, and her brother had an accident.
"Auntie, brother, brother, he was arrested" Xia Jiaoning cried, and her words were not very clear. "Not long ago, someone sent a note with a dagger, asking Daddy to go to Thymexiang to ask for someone, Daddy went, but it didn't take long for the next person to send the already unconscious Daddy back, and the elder brother was taken away, and now Daddy is still in a coma, brother, brother's life and death are unknown, Aunt Dowager, please, save my brother, only you can save my brother"
"Who is so bold" The Queen Mother slapped the table, although Xia Lianfei did not have an official position, he was also her nephew, the cousin of the emperor, and the son of the general.
"Auntie, Ning'er, on the way to the palace, Ning'er has already found out who arrested her brother" Xia Jiaoning said angrily, she had ruined her, made her ugly in front of everyone, and had already left a very bad comment, and now she came to deal with her brother who had always loved her?
"Who is it?"
"Yes, it's the emperor" Xia Jiaoning clenched her fists.
"The Emperor? You say Jia'er? "The Queen Mother thought she had heard it wrong, Xia Jianing was talking about Luo Jia?
"Yes, so Aunt Queen Mother, only you can save your brother" Because Xia Jiaoning didn't expect the emperor's cousin, the emperor's cousin doted on the emperor, he would listen to the emperor's words, and he would definitely not save his brother.
"Do you know why the emperor wants to arrest your brother" The queen mother is still sensible, and she was not angry because Luo Jia caught Xia Lianfei, at least Luo Jia is now the emperor, and everything she does represents her identity.
"Ning Er doesn't know, but Aunt Queen Mother, even if my brother is at fault, the emperor can't and can't" Because she was crying, Xia Jiaoning couldn't finish a sentence.
"What can't you do?"
"Neither could he order his brother to take off his coat and tie him up and bring him back from outside the city. It's like walking through the streets for a capital offense. This is what she heard from the subordinate who sent his father back, and the subordinate reported that his brother was tied up, his coat was also taken off, and he was pulled back very wolfly, at that time, there were many people around him, and there were also many people who took rotten vegetable leaves and eggs to hit him, just like a death row prisoner parade in the street, and there are already many people who know that the eldest young master of the General's Mansion was punished by the emperor and queen to parade in the street.
"Didn't my brother recuperate in another courtyard outside the city, how could he be tied up by the emperor and pulled back" Or was it pulled back in the street, Xia Yuning asked.
When she entered the palace, her brother was fine, and said that he was going out of the city to recuperate in another courtyard for a few days, but the city was too lively and noisy for him to recuperate.
Since he is out of the city, how could his brother be tied up and pulled back after meeting God, is it possible that the emperor already knew about her being taken into the palace as a concubine, and when he met his brother, he took his brother under the knife.
Thinking about it, I don't think it's right, the emperor has never seen her brother, so it is impossible to use her brother against her. If not this, then what?
Xia Yuning guessed that in the end, it might be that his brother offended the emperor. Then the emperor and queen pushed the boat down the river.
This conjecture flashed through his mind, and Xia Yu's heart sank to the bottom, very cold, very cold.
If his brother really offended the emperor, then the emperor would have a reason to oppose her, and her position as a concubine was not yet hot, so was she going to leave her seat?
No, she doesn't allow it! The concubine who was finally sealed, she wants to keep this position.
"I don't know why my brother was tied back, but if I don't save my brother, my brother will definitely have an accident, the emperor will definitely be like Ning Er, and the brother will definitely have an accident in the hands of the emperor, just like her, she has been almost ruined by the emperor, and the brother who loves her must not have an accident."
The Queen Mother, who was originally quite sensible, listened to Xia Jiaoning's words, and no longer knew what reason was.
In the imperial capital, only death row inmates who were imprisoned for life and those who were beheaded were paraded through the streets, and no other crimes were paraded.
This Luo Jia is good, and he directly parades the erring Xia Lianfei on the street.
Gu Qing heard the Queen Mother's words, and hurriedly went in, Xia Jiaoning's words, she more or less listened to it outside, and the Queen Mother was angry.
"Gu Qing, you are now going to Fengxiang Palace to invite the emperor and queen to come over, the mourning family wants to know, after she is a country, has she considered the overall situation?"
"Auntie, this matter hasn't been clarified yet, if it's really my brother, he'......" Xia Yuning considered that if he provoked the emperor and queen again before he clarified the facts, the consequences might be even stricter.
"Yu'er, Ning'er, sit down, if this matter is not Fei'er's fault, the mourning family will save Fei'er"
But ...... "But if it's her brother's fault, what then?" This is exactly what Xia Yuning is really worried about.
"What are you still doing here, why don't you go to Fengxiang Palace soon" The Queen Mother saw Gu Qing who was still standing in place.
"Yes" Gu Qing responded urgently and hurriedly retreated.
This time I went to invite the emperor, not the emperor, but she always felt that it was more difficult to invite the emperor than just to invite the emperor, when the emperor was invited, the emperor rested and the emperor helped to call, which would invite the emperor to ......, if the emperor also rested, what should I do? There was no one to help call.
Gu Qing came to Fengxiang Palace with a heart that was looking forward to the emperor and queen who had not rested.
As soon as he arrived at Fengxiang Palace, Gu Qing saw Mengyu standing aside at a glance, as if he had been standing for a long time
