Chapter 106: True Identity
It was the first feast of the new emperor on the throne. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info strings are soft, the dancers are enchanting, the wine and food are delicious, and it is a peaceful and joyful atmosphere. However, everyone here is looking at all directions and listening to all directions, like a frightened bird, always paying attention to the changes around them. The reason is very simple, those who can enter this banquet are either important real power figures in the court, such as Cui Xiang, or the right-hand man of the political purge, such as the newly appointed minister Langzhong Wang Qianyi.
No matter what kind of person they are, they have been in the officialdom for many years and have a very high degree of political sensitivity. They knew very well that this was an excellent opportunity to observe the emperor's preferences and dislikes and political leanings. As long as you find out the emperor's temper, the career will be smooth.
Because of this, the entrance of Qingge made everyone's eyes converge on her. There's excitement, there's anger, there's contempt, there's ridicule. And she always lowered her eyes, blocked all gaze, and sat down slowly as if nothing had happened.
"When did you say that Daqingqiu changed the ancestral system, and the princess can sit in such a high position?" Someone said "quietly". Everyone was stunned. The princess sat at the bottom of His Majesty, only a small table away. It's too arrogant.
"Have you ever seen that the princess is wearing a phoenix robe?" Another said.
"I heard that this princess was not raised in the palace since she was a child, but was recognized by the first emperor halfway, and her origin is unknown."
"When the first emperor died, she was by the first emperor's side. Now I'm fascinated by Your Majesty again......"
"What a disaster for the country and the people."
Qingge raised his head, and the group of people instantly stopped talking. Don't think about it, this group of people dared to slander her with such unscrupulous words in the main hall, not because they were too tired of living, but because they had what they thought was strong support behind them.
She smiled at the instigator behind the scenes, Cui Xiangtou, picked up the wine glass and took a sip. This move is undoubtedly a declaration of war.
When Cui Xiang's gaze met her, the cloudy old eyes suddenly burst into a blade-like light. I can't wait to eat her.
Qingge pursed her lips and looked away again.
"The emperor has arrived, and the queen mother has arrived!" The eunuch's shrill voice rang out.
And they all fell on their knees and bowed down.
"Zhong Aiqing is flat." Su Ye was wearing a golden imperial robe, and said lightly. This sentence seems to be bland, but the light song can hear the suppressed excitement in it.
When everyone took their seats, they saw the emperor holding the queen mother with one hand and slowly taking their seats. What a picture of mother and son's filial piety. It's just that Empress Dowager Cui's gentle gaze became a little weird after seeing Qingge's outfit.
"Your Majesty, Wanyang is like this, it's not very well-behaved, right?" Others dare not say it, but the Queen Mother does. Before you even sit down, you get straight to the point.
Everyone was quiet again, waiting for his reply.
Su Ye showed a cold smile and said, "Mother worries too much. There's nothing out of the rules here, because I'm going to be sealed. ”
Everyone gasped and froze in place. A piece of chicken on Yuan Yushi's chopsticks fell on the table and rolled to the ground again. No one expected that His Majesty would be so direct that he would be directly sealed without saying hello. It's too sudden, too much to say.
In fact, Cui Xiang and his entourage saw Qingge's outfit and already understood the emperor's intentions. We are also ready to fight hard. This kind of royal secret history is not unheard of in history. The incumbent all took great pains to send people out of the palace, and after all the identities were washed, they found a way to get into the palace, first promoted the mother's family, bribed the ministers, and finally sealed the queen. This can take decades or years. Although Cui Xiang's power has been somewhat degraded in the end, in the end, it has a deep foundation, and if she insists on spending it with His Majesty, she won't even be able to be a talented person. And now, His Majesty is going to be directly sealed.
"Your Majesty, the ministers are not allowed." Cui Xiangqian stood up and said sonorously.
"This is my family matter, when will it be your turn not to allow it." Su Ye glanced at him and said.
"The queen is the mother of a country, and it is related to the glory of Qingqiu, and the minister should be the gatekeeper for His Majesty. Besides, she's a princess, your own sister. As soon as Cui Xiang's words came out, the big stone in everyone's hearts fell to the ground. This is a very clear, yet shameful question. How could His Majesty marry his own sister so naturally.
After taking a sip of wine at night, he smiled comfortingly at Shang Qingge's worried eyes, threw a look into the distance, and stopped talking.
There was silence for a moment. The hands in Qingge's sleeves were already covered in cold sweat. What was she going to do? She didn't dare to come out and contradict him here. It was tantamount to a slap in the face. She's going to die without a place to bury. But if she doesn't refute, will she really become a queen? At the moment, she could only hope that the opposition of the ministers would be effective.
"Princess Wanyang and Your Majesty are not related by blood." A gentle voice rang out from the very end of the hall.
This sentence came softly, like idle self-talk. But it caused everyone to be shocked, and they all looked back, wanting to see clearly, who dared to say such a headless thing at will.
"Who are you, dare to talk nonsense here?"
Everyone looked around, and a slightly thin figure walked unhurriedly. Dressed in a purple eunuch palace dress of the highest grade, he is so beautiful that he can't distinguish between men and women. That quiet face obviously looks like a meat belly raised by a son, but the look on his face makes people dare not speak wildly.
"It's ...... The palm print eunuch of the Supervision Division, Lord Mengbai. "Someone recognized him.
"Your Majesty's enthronement ceremony, how can a rootless eunuch break in at will?" Cui Xiang has already taken the lead. Naturally, someone in the back coaxed and laughed.
As if he hadn't heard it, Meng Bai continued: "The true identity of Princess Wanyang is the daughter of Master Zen Lone. ”
"Zen silence? Which Zen silence? ”
"It's the Zen silence that is famous all over the world, and no one can invite it. once provoked Qingqiu, Huaichu, and Tianyan to fight for him. ”
When Qingge heard this, he couldn't listen to the other words. Isn't Zen Lone's daughter a concubine, and her father is really Zen Lonely? The master in Mengbai's mouth is also Zen silence. It all seems to make perfect sense. The concubine is just a disguise. Back then, the father, whom she had never met, was robbed of his wife and child by Emperor Taixi, so he chose to hide and sent his apprentices to protect his daughter and rob Qingqiu.
Qingge raised her eyes and glanced at them, almost all of them had shocked and puzzled expressions. It seems that not many people know about the fact that the concubine entered the harem under the banner of the daughter of Zen Lonely.
"Empty mouth and white teeth, why should we believe you?" One said.
