Chapter 42: Sabre-rattling
By the time the two of them arrived at the Queen Mother's Cining Palace, it was already dark.
"The Queen Mother."
"The Queen Mother is auspicious. The queen is auspicious, and the three are auspicious. ”
The two of them walked in almost side by side, and the Queen Mother was sitting there in the room, and several ladies were also standing on both sides.
Quan Jingmo sat aside after asking for peace, while Mu Yuxi was waiting for the queen mother to speak because he was half-kneeling to ask for peace. But the Queen Mother seemed to be deliberate today, and she didn't shout that sentence for a long time.
"Get on your knees."
Mu Yuxi was half-squatting and her legs were weak, and the Queen Mother spoke, but she didn't want to reprimand.
Mu Yuxi hurriedly knelt on the ground without raising his head, and Quan Jingmo on the side looked at his mother puzzled:
"Queen Mother, why did Mu Zhaoyi upset you?"
"What mess with me? She's messed with a lot of places. Emperor, why did you bring her to our family banquet today? Your concubines have been waiting here for so long. ”
"She's also my concubine."
The Queen Mother didn't speak, but just looked at Mu Yuxi with disgust, and said slowly:
"Mu Zhaoyi, I think you are not qualified to participate in such a dinner. Not to mention that this elder and young are inferior, just because you don't understand things today, the mourning family can condemn you! ”
"The concubine doesn't understand, and asks the queen mother to say it clearly."
Unreasonable? Where did she come from?
"Don't know? Today, the emperor should have come here for dinner a long time ago, but the person I sent to the Imperial Dragon Palace to invite the emperor said that the emperor was talking to you in the palace. ”
Unreasonable? She is indeed unreasonable, and she has indeed deliberately delayed time, Mu Yuxi thought, this queen mother is very shrewd, and she can see at a glance that she has deliberately delayed time?
Mu Yuxi secretly thought: This time I played Dafa, just now I just wanted to delay more time to make those concubines jealous, but I didn't want to touch the queen mother's old man's scales.
"The concubine knows her mistake, and she asks the Queen Mother for forgiveness."
"Forgiveness? If everyone is as unruly as you, wouldn't the harem be overturned? Today, the mourning family must kill chickens and monkeys, and give everyone in the harem a wake-up call. ”
Palm?!
Mu Yuxi raised her head in surprise and slapped her mouth, she was reborn here, and the biggest insult she has ever suffered is her palm. She didn't want to go through it again, and in front of so many people waiting to see her jokes.
But after thinking about it, she knew that talking more would only cause more trouble for herself, so she quickly lowered her head and prepared to bear the humiliating palm. When she looked up just now, she could see the smugness in Mu Xianning and Hera's eyes. She couldn't help but laugh at herself: stealing chickens is not enough to pick up a handful of rice.
The older grandmother beside the Queen Mother gradually approached Mu Yuxi, and she closed her eyes.
"Stop!"
The magnetic sound, mixed with some anger, frightened the mama to stop there.
"It was I who asked Mu Zhaoyi to come to the Royal Dragon Palace to talk to me, and I was going to take her to the Imperial Garden to enjoy the flowers just now, it has nothing to do with Mu Yuxi, and I ask the queen mother to understand."
Ever, the Queen Mother Lin Wanyi said one, Quan Jingmo never said two, but today, he beat her face, and in an instant, the air became a little nervous, and the people present didn't even dare to breathe.
The Queen Mother was a little unhappy, turned her head and asked:
"Is the emperor favoring Mu Zhaoyi?"
"I'm just telling the truth."
"Okay, the mourning family knows, but even if the emperor wants to keep her, Mu Zhaoyi should focus on the overall situation, she is still wrong, come here, slap your mouth!"
The last two words, the Queen Mother bit very clearly, her position and principles have always been very clear, and no one can change them, even the emperor. Mama heard that the Queen Mother's big Buddha was angry, and thought that the emperor would definitely not object again, so she took a few steps forward.
"Who dare!"
The majestic tone was full of anger, and Quan Jingmo immediately stood up:
"You don't want to die! I don't listen to me! ”
"Slaves don't dare, the emperor disturbs his life!"
Seeing Quan Jingmo so angry, the grandmother was so frightened that she quickly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
Quan Jingmo walked to the mama and looked at her coldly. He said stop, but she still dared to move, what did she do with him as an emperor! Instantly, the grievances I suffered as a child seemed to be repeated. He clearly remembered that when he was a child, his mother was partial and conniving with his second brother.
Although Quan Jingmo is the eldest prince, his mother has a preference for the second brother of a compatriot, and she doesn't care about him, when she was a child, in order to take care of the second brother, she even told the emperor to send him to the military aircraft for training. The second brother has been spoiled by the Queen Mother since he was a child, and he is disrespectful to Quan Jingmo, and he openly said that he will be the emperor in the future.
Later, gradually grew up, the first emperor was not in good health, and the hundred officials in the court urged the crown prince, and the first emperor set up Quan Jingmo as the prince, and the second brother was not convinced and did not dare to say it openly, so he secretly sent a killer to assassinate Quan Jingmo in the rivers and lakes
The matter was revealed, and Quan Jingmo didn't tell the first emperor because of his brotherhood, but the queen mother knew about it, but she just begged him to spare her second brother's life.
Thinking of this, Quan Jingmo felt that his throat was swollen and painful like a fish bone.
"Emperor, what kind of ** soup did this woman feed you, and let you defend her like this."
The Queen Mother's excited words brought Quan Jingmo back to his senses, it was rare for him to be so angry, and it was for a woman.
Everyone in the harem knew that the emperor favored Shen Xiaoxian the most, but when Mu Zhiyuan insisted on marrying Mu Xianning into the palace as the queen, Quan Jingmo was just unhappy, but he did not stand up for Shen Xiaoxian, who he had always wanted to establish. But today, the Queen Mother was just a small slap in his mouth, and he reacted so violently.
"Queen Mother, I said that I asked Mu Zhaoyi to stay, and it has nothing to do with her. If the queen mother wants to be punished, she can be punished. ”
Mu Yuxi looked at the man in front of him in a daze, speaking for himself with some forbearance, his tone was so firm, so protective of himself, he even disobeyed the Queen Mother for her.
Mu Yuxi's heart was in turmoil, since she was reborn, there has never been a moment when Quan Jingmo shocked her so much. She has even accepted that this Quan Jingmo is just wearing the skin of the modern Quan Jingmo, but she doesn't want to, he has done this for her today. “
She knew that he was an emperor; She knew he shouldn't have done it; She knew that she had never asked him to do that for himself.
Between the tensions, the Queen Mother finally relented:
"That's it, Mu Zhaoyi, for the emperor's sake this time, the mourning family will spare you for the time being."
Mu Yuxi didn't react, she was okay?
"Don't hurry up yet."
Seeing that she hadn't moved for a long time, Quan Jingmo whispered softly, and then turned around and returned to his seat.
This small exchange between them made the people present see it really well, and the emperor cared about Mu Zhaoyi and cared about it very much.
PS: Regarding the assassination of the second brother Quan Jingmo, if the reader is confused, you can turn back to chapter 38 to see the foreshadowing, and this story will also be the focus in the future.
