Chapter 60: The Gap
"Zhou girl?" Hearing the queen call herself, Empress E hurriedly came out of her thoughts and stepped forward.
"Yes."
"The prince said that he had seen you before, and you still knew each other, why didn't you say it earlier?" The queen smiled knowingly, and spoke to the emperor much gentlerly.
"If you know Niangniang, Emperor E doesn't know the identity of the prince, so she doesn't dare to offend the prince rashly." Emperor E bowed his head and replied, but he felt another hot gaze on him.
"Queen Mother, Empress E really doesn't know the identity of her son."
"Oh, I see." The queen lowered her head and thought for a while, and the prince pursed his lips and looked at Emperor E from time to time.
The people in the room could see what was going on, but the sixth master's eyes had always looked at Emperor E gently, and it made people a little confused, so they could only say that the girl of the Zhou family was really a blessed person.
Li Yu never said a word from beginning to end, but his eyes never left, and the queen also noticed this, her brows furrowed deeply, and Concubine Ning pursed her lips to look at Huan.
"Niangniang, the emperor is here." A little eunuch hurriedly came in and said.
Before the queen could say anything, she had already heard the footsteps approaching outside, and the people in the house hurriedly got up and saluted, and Emperor E also saluted, but noticed that only Concubine Ning was still sitting there and playing with the handkerchief in her hand.
Emperor E gasped, how much does the emperor love her?
Until a bright yellow figure flashed by, Emperor E raised his head and saw Concubine Ning standing up leisurely, just about to salute, but was stopped by the emperor, took her hand and sat down, her eyebrows and eyes were gentle, if it was not the person she saw in the teaching workshop at that time, the person in front of her was just an ordinary husband.
"Get up." The emperor commanded, everyone thanked him, but the queen's face was a little uncomfortable, after all, in front of so many people, the emperor was very fond of Concubine Ning, and in front of the prince and the sixth master, his face was a little unbearable.
The emperor also realized this, reluctantly let go of Concubine Ning's little hand, walked to the queen's side and sat down, the emperor was over fifty years old, but his body was tough, but he looked like a child in front of Concubine Ning.
Seeing that the emperor was coming, the queen's face softened a little, Concubine Ning still looked indifferent, and the prince stood behind respectfully.
"Today is the Queen Mother's big day, I deliberately put down political affairs to have fun with everyone, I don't have to be restrained today, by the way, I heard that the girl of the Zhou family is also here?"
Hearing the emperor suddenly mention it, Emperor E hurriedly stepped forward, "Zhou Qiang has seen the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor!" ”
"No need to be polite, get up quickly." The emperor's warm voice sounded, with a little banter, "I have just said it, there is no need to be formal, Zhou Yatou was specially called by me, if your father sees you like this, he must be distressed, I have to say that I have wronged you, and I will not let you enter the palace in the future." ”
I wanted to say something to ease the atmosphere, but the emperor didn't know what had just happened, the queen's face was not good-looking, but the corners of Concubine Ning's mouth gradually expanded, and she smiled indifferently, as if she was really happy to listen to the emperor's words.
"The emperor is really joking, how can Daddy have that guts." Empress E chuckled and echoed.
"Why didn't he? You ask Chongguang, last time he was worried about my tea, I didn't give it, so he and Chongguang took my grapes away, and let Concubine Ning have a relationship with me for a while. ”
After the emperor finished speaking, he laughed, Li Yu also laughed on the side, and the emperor remembered that basket of grapes, which was "robbed" over, I really can't imagine what it was like for my father to play tricks on the emperor with a red face.
"Yes, it can be seen how much Zhou Xiang loves Miss Zhou, just as his father feels sorry for his younger sisters." Li Yu casually opened his mouth on the side to echo, and the prince on the side looked at the queen silently, and he couldn't interject.
"That's the girl of the Zhou family who has the ability, which girl can compare with Miss Zhou, I have raised all the sons who can't be successful."
The emperor looked at the prince secretly on the side, today in the imperial study, the war in the north, the south is afraid of accidents, so he left a few ministers to discuss countermeasures, all around are eyeing the tiger, the Huns, Yidi, are all ready to go, but my dynasty is as peaceful as ever.
The prince has always stood on the anti-war faction, thinking that it is good to stick to the territory, I don't offend people, people don't offend me, and several ministers also echoed the prince's words.
The emperor must be dissatisfied with the affairs of the court, the prince is depressed on the side, his own uncle is fighting at the border, he is famous for his courage and good fighting, and the new general Lin Renzhao is also his person, if he really makes military achievements and wins a few cities, not to mention the military power, he can't do it This prince is not necessarily.
It is better to let him not get military power from the beginning, so that he and the Lin family are in a hurry, and wait until they sit in that position, and then clean them up.
The prince didn't say a word on the side, he had already collided with the emperor in the imperial study, and now it would be more important to say anything, so it was better not to speak, and stand aside and watch quietly.
Li Yu stood aside and nodded softly, occasionally saying a word or two, as if he would only say a word or two when the emperor was there, and even teasing the emperor for a few words, not to commit the following offenses, but the emperor was even more happy.
The queen looked at her youngest son with some unhappiness on the side, obviously not involved in political affairs but deeply loved by the emperor, what is the use of that, all day long I only know how to chant poems and paint.
Only Concubine Ning raised the corners of her mouth slightly, as if she was very happy with this atmosphere, and her eyes occasionally skimmed Li Yu, looking unusually gentle.
Qin's face also softened on the side, obviously as soon as the emperor came in, Qin's breathed a sigh of relief, sure enough, sometimes the struggle between women was turned into a must-have by a sentence or two that he didn't care about, or it went up to thunder.
