711.Chapter 711: The Mask
The Queen Mother left like this, and the Imperial Banquet has come over several times to invite people, but someone stopped her - the Queen Mother and the Emperor are so troublesome, who dares to let people come?
Zhang Youde, who can't avoid them, have already repented until their intestines are green, and they don't know whether they will be good or bad in the future; The Queen Mother lost such a big face, who knows if she will hold a grudge against others? If you pull people in again, the full palace and the Manchu dynasty will know it, and Zhang Youde and others really don't have to live.
It wasn't until the Queen Mother left that the emperor and the empress glanced at each other, and then took the imperial chariot side by side. The emperor didn't mention what he had just heard the imperial concubine say, and the queen didn't ask the emperor why he had been delayed for so long, and the husband and wife were slightly embarrassed that they didn't say anything all the way.
The queen is okay, she has nothing to feel ashamed of, so she is leisurely whether she speaks or not, anyway, she has often been alone for many years, and she is used to it. However, the emperor is becoming more and more uncomfortable, and it is difficult to sit still, but fortunately, the road is not long, otherwise the emperor may jump out of the chariot.
Ah Feng and Tianfu sat on their shoulders, and Jiang Ming and the others followed.
"Thank you." Ah Feng originally thought that Tianfu would help the Queen Mother, but she didn't expect that she would help herself in the end, and she really wanted to say thank you, because Tianfu really offended the Queen Mother to death by helping her.
Tianfu shook his head: "No thanks. I'm not because of you, nor because of the Queen, I'm just—" She sighed long, "I'm tired of it, I'm tired of it, I don't want to fight anymore, I just want to have a peaceful life." ”
She didn't look at Ah Feng, and her face was still pale. Because she doesn't know what to do in the future, she is the only one left now, what she will do next, what she will do in the future, she doesn't know.
She didn't have a mother, and she offended the queen mother, and her sister who grew up together since childhood died, as for her younger brother, hehe, if she really had brotherhood, how could she be bullied for so long, and she still needed Ah Feng to help?
Ah Feng saw that Tianfu didn't speak again, Tianfu's heart knot can't be opened in one or two sentences, especially not something that Ah Feng can untie in a few words. Because, Ah Feng and Tianfu have never been sisters.
Tianfu also knew that Ah Feng didn't know how to comfort her, and what she needed was not comfort. After going through so much, Tianfu has really grown up: "Sister Huang, I just hope that the royal banquet will be safe and sound, and then we can go home and sleep well after eating." ”
Ah Feng smiled: "Yes, I hope you can be safe, well, you can have a glass of wine in a while, and you will definitely be able to sleep well when you go back." Come back with me tonight, and there's someone to talk to when I can't sleep at night. ”
Tianfu looked at Ah Feng for a long time when he heard this: "I really don't understand, how did my eyes grow before, why did I look at you unpleasantly?" Now, you're the only one who is willing to speak to me so carefully. ”
Ah Feng smiled and patted her hand gently: "Don't think about it so much, let's have a good meal next." I've been making trouble for so long, and I'm really hungry. ”
The emperor and the empress sat down, Baiguanshan shouted long live, and then congratulated the queen on getting out of danger, and then everyone took their seats.
Ah Feng and Tianfu naturally sat together, and no one else said anything; But halfway through eating, the fifth prince came over and said a few words, and there was no difference between Tianfu and Ah Feng.
The concubines in the palace were all smiling, as if they were really happy that the queen could come back, and as if they had been looking forward to the queen's return.
No matter what, as Tianfu said, the royal banquet can be safe and sound, and Ah Feng really can't ask for more.
Seeing that the imperial banquet was about to end, Tianfu and Ah Feng couldn't help but let out a long breath, and then the two looked at each other and smiled: A large stone has landed.
It may be that there are too many things today, so they have been worried, for fear that there will be something extraneous again; Now, they can finally put their minds at ease.
"When the queen returns, the great adversity can be removed, and the emperor can be regarded as happy and happy. On behalf of the subjects of the world, the minister respects the emperor and the queen with a cup, and wishes me a good wind and rain in Dachu, and all the people return to their hearts. After bowing, he took the cup and held it above his head.
Ah Feng glanced at him: "This person, sycophant." ”
"He is the father of the virtuous concubine." Tianfu didn't raise his eyelids: "Now it's Lord Shangshu." "The Han family was punished and implicated many people in the DPRK and China, some people are unlucky, and some people are naturally promoted and rich, and Ma Daren is one of the best.
There are some things that Tianfu is inconvenient to say in a crowded place, but just one sentence is enough, and Ah Feng immediately understood; She glanced at the virtuous concubines not far away—although the ministers of the outer court and the concubines of the inner palace were seated separately, they were not far apart.
Concubine Xian was whispering and laughing with the people next to her, as if she had no notice of her father's demeanor at all; Her makeup today is neither thick nor light, and she is really not brilliant among many concubines, even her clothes are the same.
There is no imperial concubine, and under the queen, the virtuous concubine is the most, but if you don't pay special attention, among the group of concubines who compete for beauty, the virtuous concubine is really too ordinary.
The emperor laughed: "I drink this cup with all Aiqing." He seemed to have forgotten all the unhappiness just now, and smiled so happily.
When Ah Feng saw him like this, he didn't know why his heart was soft: the person who is the emperor really has his pitiful place, and his joy and anger can't be invisible, and there is such an "explanation" in front of him.
Ma Shangshu immediately bowed again: "The queen's return to the dynasty is a great joy, and it should be celebrated by the whole world." On this day of great joy, the minister has a request for something - the queen has done her best for my Dachu, and there is only the princess of Ningguo on her knees, which is really ......"
He shook his head: "Princess Ningguo should have a sibling to help her, and the queen should also have children around her knees, so as to comfort the queen for many years of suffering and show the emperor's kindness to the queen." ”
The emperor laughed: "What I said, well, there is a little truth, but there are some things that even if I have the four seas, I can't do what I want." When he said this, he looked at the queen, and of course his eyes flashed with tenderness.
Ah Feng was stunned for a moment, and she really couldn't tell whether the affection in the emperor's eyes was true or false: just like the joy on the emperor's face, who could know if he was really happy, or if the joy on his face was a mask?
After living with such a man for many years, can her mother be clearly distinguished? Even if you can tell it clearly, I'm afraid that such a day will be too hard.
She suddenly felt that it seemed wrong to bring the queen back. If she and Jiang Ming take the queen to live outside, she can't be sure if they can make the queen happier, but the queen's life will definitely be much simpler.
Ah Feng turned his head slightly, but found that Concubine Xiangui's gaze had just moved away from the queen, but there was a sneer in the corner of her eyes, as cold as the cold light of the murderous weapon.
