Chapter 5
"Niangniang...... The queen's personal palace maid Jinxiu walked in and said a few words in the queen's ear.
"Really?" The queen frowned and looked at Jinxiu.
Jinxiu nodded.
"Xi'er." The queen called Chu Yunxi, "It's not early, it's time for you to go see your father." ”
"Yes, Queen Mother." Chu Yunxi nodded, and was about to leave with Xia Fenglan.
"Wait." The queen stopped the two, "Your father is afraid that he has something to say to you, so the princess doesn't have to go, stay and drink tea with the palace." ”
Chu Yunxi glanced at Xia Fenglan with some unease, and was thinking about whether to find an excuse to let Fenglan go back first.
"Your Highness, you go first." Seeing Chu Yunxi's worries, Xia Fenglan said in a timely manner, "I heard that the tea here is a must in the palace, and Feng Lan also wants to taste it." ”
"Then, Erchen will retire first." Chu Yunxi said, and followed the eunuch who led the way to the imperial study where the emperor was.
When Chu Yunxi arrived at the imperial study, King Xing had just come out of it.
King Xing looks very similar to his father, with a resolute face and a masculine air all over his body.
King Xing glanced at Chu Yunxi, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a mocking smile: "Sister Huang, are you here to meet your father?" ”
Chu Yunxi and King Xing have always been mortal enemies, and they didn't bother to pay attention to this person at the moment, so they raised their feet and walked into the imperial study.
"Imperial sister, Wei Guogong has just left the palace." When passing by King Xing, King Xing spoke.
Chu Yunxi paused and waited for King Xing's next words.
"Wei Guogong's youngest daughter, Wei Ning'er, has just arrived." King Xing said lightly, "I heard that the son of the Xiao family rescued Wei Ning'er who fell into the water yesterday, and the two are of the same age." "The latter words, without King Xing saying more, can be naturally speculated. is of the same age, and he is a benefactor, Wei Guogong entered the palace today, I am afraid that he will kiss the two.
Chu Yunxi narrowed her eyes, she really thought she was a fool!
Xiao Qi is just the son-in-law of a household Shangshu, how can he be worthy of Wei Guogong's baby daughter, Wei Guogong will definitely not be confused enough to marry his daughter to Xiao Qi.
"It's not too early, my father is still waiting, and my brother won't bother the royal sister." The goal has been achieved, and King Xing does not stay long.
Looking at King Xing's back, Chu Yunxi sneered, King Xing is worthy of being Concubine Li's son, and he knows how to use Xiao Qi to provoke himself.
In her previous life, as soon as she heard about this incident, her whole heart was in a trance, and her heart was full of scenes of Xiao Qi and Wei Ning'er falling in love with each other, and she couldn't remember what her father said.
"Your Highness?" Seeing that Chu Yunxi had been silent for a long time, the eunuch beside her cautiously reminded her, "The emperor is waiting inside." ”
"Got it." Chu Yunxi said and pushed open the door of the imperial study.
Although I don't know what King Xing provoked her for, but the soldiers are coming to block it, and the water is coming to cover it, and she Chu Yunxi is not a master to be messed with.
In the imperial study, the emperor was already waiting. Although the emperor was over forty years old, the years did not leave too many marks on his face. The resolute countenance, angular, exudes a majesty.
"See Father." Chu Yunxi stepped forward and saluted.
"See for yourself!" As soon as he lowered his head, the emperor threw a copy of the fold directly on Chu Yunxi's head, "You are simply bold!" ”
Chu Yunxi picked up the fold on the ground and quickly glanced at it. It was the minister who impeached her for selling illicit salt, and the criticism was extremely fierce.
Chu Yunxi sneered, no wonder King Xing specially told him about Xiao Qi at the door of the imperial study, because he wanted her to mess up and carry this black cauldron, what a ruthless strategy!
"Daring?" Chu Yunxi sneered and shook the fold on his hand, "Just based on the one-sided words of a few people, is the father going to condemn his son's sins?" This is inevitable, too hasty! ”
More than a decade has passed, and she doesn't remember what happened. But she was sure that she would never do such a self-digging thing.
"You...... Licentious! The emperor glared at Chu Yunxi angrily.
"Father," Chu Yunxi lowered his face coldly and said, "It's not that the retainers are presumptuous, this matter makes it clear that someone deliberately framed the retainers!" ”
"Are you still reasonable? It is clearly written on the fold, this batch of goods was escorted by you! The emperor said, "It's just that you don't want to repent, and you dare to quibble, it seems that I spoil you too much on weekdays, and actually let you become so lawless!" You don't have to go to court lately. Kneel down to the ancestral hall and meditate on yourself. ”
Like in her previous life, her father didn't want to listen to her explanation, but just blindly doubted her and punished her.
Chu Yunxi looked at the emperor's angry face, and only felt very ridiculous, is this her father who she has revered all her life?
vaguely remembers that in her previous life, she was inexplicably punished in this way, and she also lost her precious opportunity to participate in court politics. After that day, her father was disappointed in her.
This time, she will certainly not do such a stupid thing again. This black pot, whoever buckles it for her, she will return it a hundred times!
Thinking like this, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in Chu Yunxi's eyes.
"Father, don't be in a hurry to get angry." Pursing her lips slightly, Chu Yunxi opened her mouth and said, "This matter, not to mention that Erchen has not done it. Even if the son-in-law wants to do it, does the father think that the son-in-law will be stupid enough to send his own people to escort him? ”
The emperor lowered his head and met Chu Yunxi's open eyes, slightly stunned.
Thinking that Chu Yunxi did everything very well except for marrying, he also had some doubts in his heart, could it be that this matter really had nothing to do with her?
"I implore my father to give my son three days, and within three days, my son will definitely find out who planted the blame for my son!" Seeing that the emperor was a little shaken, Chu Yunxi immediately picked up.
After a moment of silence, the Emperor spoke, "In that case, I will give you three days. ”
"Thank you, Father." Chu Yunxi kowtowed.
"Go down." The emperor waved his hand and let Chu Yunxi go down.
"Father," before leaving, Chu Yunxi paused, but still asked, "Can the son ask his father a question?" ”
"Just ask." The Emperor said.
"Why did the emperor ...... Insist on asking your son to marry a wife? In her previous life, she once knelt at the door of the imperial study for a day and a night, preferring not to inherit the throne, but also to ask her father to agree to recruit Xiao Qi as a concubine.
In the Liuli Kingdom, the princess has two choices, one is to recruit a horse, which is equivalent to giving up the inheritance to the throne forever, and the horse will never be allowed to enter the court as an official. The second is to marry a woman and still have the right to inherit the throne.
"This is what your queen mother meant, and your queen mother said that you are the eldest princess, and you should not give up your inheritance right just now." The emperor said, "Moreover, the child of the Xiao family, I have seen it, is an ambitious person, and he will not be at ease with being your concubine." ”
"It's ...... What does the queen mean? Chu Yunxi looked up at the emperor, and a look of astonishment flashed in his deep black eyes. She clearly remembered that the queen mother was the most supportive of her and Xiao Qi together. In her previous life, she was able to continue to communicate with Xiao Qi after her wedding, and she was also a bridge between her mother and the queen mother. The queen mother has always told her that as long as the emperor's brother becomes the emperor, she can help her cancel the marriage and marry Xiao Qi, and she has always believed it.
Somehow, the scene of the past life suddenly came to mind. Xiao Qi said that her death was the meaning of King Jin, so what about the queen mother, did she know about it?
Chu Yunxi didn't know how he got out of the imperial study, but he felt that the whole person was a little confused. She thought that she knew the queen mother best, but now, she found that she had not seen through the queen mother from beginning to end.
The queen mother said that she was the eldest princess and could act recklessly.
The queen mother said that she and King Jin are sisters and brothers, and they want to love each other.
The queen mother said that she would help her marry Xiao Qi.
It turns out that Yiqiē, is it all lying to her?
Looking back on the bits and pieces of her previous life, she suddenly found that the queen mother had been using her to pave the way for King Jin.
"Hahaha!" Chu Yunxi couldn't help laughing. It turned out that the wound was so deep that he couldn't even shed tears.
Unconsciously, he walked back to Fengqi Hall again.
Chu Yunxi looked at the golden plaque, the corners of his mouth hooked up a touch of self-deprecation, and he was about to step into the palace gate, but he saw Xia Fenglan's figure not far away.
She stood outside the hall for a long time, and she didn't know how long she had been standing, and her black hair was soaked with wisps of snow, and she was about to call her but found that something seemed to be wrong at this time.
Jin Lan glared at Xia Fenglan coldly, and said sharply: "Princess, don't embarrass the slave maid, the slave maid follows the instructions of the queen's mother, and I hope that the princess will cooperate, don't toast and don't eat and drink!" ”
"It's too ridiculous for Niangniang to ask Feng Lan to take off her clothes, Feng Lan, forgive me." Xia Fenglan said coldly, although she has no status, she will not let people do it in vain.
"Since the princess is so ignorant of lifting, then Jinlan can only follow the queen's wishes, and if she does anything beyond the norm at that time, the princess will not be to blame."
Xia Fenglan didn't speak, she had always been as proud as her, how could she bow her head at this time? glanced at Jinlan coldly, her eyes full of contempt.
Seeing that Xia Fenglan was so ignorant, a trace of fierceness flashed in Jin Lan's eyes, and she raised her hand to fan Xia Fenglan's face.
But as soon as she raised her hand, Jinlan suddenly felt that her hand was suddenly grabbed from behind, and the hand holding her wrist was so strong that almost instantly there was a piercing pain between her wrists.
"Who dares to stop me from mentioning the queen?" Jin Lan endured the pain and turned her head to look, but unexpectedly, she crashed into a pair of dark eyes, those eyes, cold and ruthless, when looking at her, it was like looking at a dead person.
"Your Highness, Your Highness......" Jinlan shuddered.
