Chapter 260: Return to Beijing

The group closed the city gate and advanced into the city, and Wei Du, the newly selected servant who served by Emperor Zhi'an, announced Cui Keyin to enter the palace at the palace gate.

Cui Keyin got out of the carriage, the imperial chariot in front had already entered the palace gate, and the carriage and sedan chairs of the civil and military officials in the back stopped one after another, and everyone rushed over.

"Princess Jin, please come here." Wei Du said, leading the way in front first.

Cui Keyin followed behind.

"Princess Jin, please stop." Guo Shouning carried his robe, Rufei rushed over, and saluted Cui Keyin: "Is the princess going to enter the palace?" ”

I really want to ask, what did the emperor and King Jin say, and what conditions did the emperor promise King Jin to return to Beijing together.

Cui Keyin returned the salute and said, "Yes." Is there something wrong with Lord Guo? ”

Guo Shouning said tactfully: "May I ask Princess Jin, Zhu Pi is still written by King Jin?" ”

If the power of Zhu Pi is still in Zhou Heng's hands, it means that the emperor completely trusts Zhou Heng and is not affected by the ballad.

Cui Keyin shook her head and said, "I don't know about the concubine." Leave. ”

No matter what Guo Shouning's expression was, how the group of officials behind him stretched their necks to listen to the conversation between the two, Cui Keyin turned around and left decisively.

As soon as Emperor An and Zhou Heng arrived at the Qinzheng Palace, the Queen Mother rushed over, and before she sat down, she spoke: "It's getting late today, and it's inconvenient for Ah Heng to stay here for a long time." Let's go out of the palace. ”

Zhou Heng didn't say a word, and saluted: "The son of the minister retires." ”

It's just an excuse not to see him, he has just returned from the Grange, and he doesn't want to stay in the palace for long.

Emperor An grabbed Zhou Heng and said, "My son is going to hold a family banquet in the Qinzheng Palace, and invite the queen mother to participate." ”

The Queen Mother gave Emperor An a fierce look. He raised his voice and said, "Didn't the emperor hear what the mourning family said just now?" Ah Heng didn't go back, what did he want to do here? ”

Zhou Heng said goodbye again.

Emperor Zhi'an still grabbed him and said: "My son said that he would hold a family banquet to welcome Xiaosi back to Beijing, how could the queen mother let her son go back on his word?" ”

It was just that I knew that you were going to give Zhou Heng face, so the mourning family rushed to stop it. Thinking about the house of porcelain antiques that she shattered, the Queen Mother was so distressed. If Zhou Heng hadn't made a ghost out of it, how could she be so angry? If you don't get angry, how can you drop things? In the final analysis, it was Zhou Heng who bewitched the emperor. The rumors of the nine-tailed fox are indeed true.

Zhou Heng looked at the Queen Mother's deformed face with anger. Instead, he stood still and didn't insist on leaving.

The two sides froze for a moment.

At this moment, Cui Keyin arrived. She just didn't see that the Queen Mother didn't look good, and stepped forward to see it without being harsh. said: "The emperor Xuanchen concubine entered the palace. What are the instructions? ”

Emperor An has not yet spoken. The Queen Mother's hand slapped the arm of the chair, making a "pop" sound.

The three of them looked at her in unison.

The Queen Mother was so angry that she couldn't speak. Forget about giving Zhou Heng face, and give Cui's face back. What do you want to do by lifting her up like this?

Lele, who was asleep, was slapped by her like this, frightened, and cried "wow".

Cui Keyin hurriedly took Lele from Zhou Heng's arms, and while coaxing him in a low voice, she asked Emperor Zhi'an to go to the side hall to feed Lele.

Only then did the Queen Mother find out that Lele was also here. The family of three is here.

"Bring the child over to mourn the family and see." The Queen Mother said coldly.

Cui Keyin did not hesitate at all, and said: "The child is crying, don't dare to disturb the queen mother, wait for the daughter-in-law to coax him to calm down, and then hug him over for the queen mother to see." ”

The child cries non-stop, so naturally he wants to coax him. This is the norm of human feelings, but the Queen Mother took the opportunity to attack and said sharply: "Cui's, you are disrespectful to your elders and disrespectful to your elders!" ”

Her angry shouts were mixed with Lele's cries.

Cui Keyin bent over, saluted, and walked out of the main hall with Lele in her arms.

"Emperor, will you not cure her sins and let her humiliate the mourning family?" The Queen Mother said angrily.

Emperor Zhi'an helplessly explained: "Lele slept all afternoon, and he was really hungry, so he naturally stopped crying after his younger siblings were fed." What is the truth of a mother and a baby? ”

This is to outsiders. The Queen Mother was so angry that she directly overturned the table next to her.

Zhou Heng said: "The queen mother is in a bad mood, it is better for the younger brother to enter the palace tomorrow and have a good time with the imperial brother." ”

Lele must not be handed over to the Queen Mother, who knows what she will do, it is better to return home as soon as possible.

Emperor Zhi'an obviously thought of this, so he nodded and said, "Wei Du, you go and ask, has Lele finished eating, if you finish eating, let Princess Jin go back to the house." ”

"Brother go and take a look." Zhou Heng saluted the Queen Mother and Emperor Zhi'an respectively, and walked out of the main hall proudly.

Lele was still breastfeeding, and while eating, she clutched Cui Keyin's clothes tightly, as if she was afraid that she would leave.

Looking at her son who was swallowing in her arms, Cui Keyin stood up decisively and said, "Let's go." ”

Zhou Heng wrapped Cui Keyin in his cloak and hugged her and walked out.

The two met Shen Mingzhu at the gate of the Qinzheng Palace. Shen Mingzhu said: "Didn't the emperor say that he was going to hold a family banquet? Where are you going? ”

It won't be to go to Kunning Palace to say hello to the Queen Mother, right? The Queen Mother has been making trouble for a day, and Shen Mingzhu knows it.

"The child is small, and it is cold and windy at night, so we will go back first." Cui Keyin said.

Shen Mingzhu glanced at Cui Keyin suspiciously, and said, "Lele, this is?" ”

"I'm hungry." Cui Keyin said and said goodbye to her: "Come back another day to say hello to Niangniang." ”

Shen Mingzhu didn't go in first, and slowly approached the main hall with light steps, and heard the roar of the Queen Mother across the corridor. She asked the palace people to go in and tell Emperor Zhi'an about her illness, and then slipped away.

The officials gathered at the gate of the palace to talk, refusing to leave, and suddenly saw Zhou Heng and his wife coming out with their children in their arms, and hurriedly greeted them.

Zhou Heng motioned to Cui Keyin to hug Lele to get into the carriage first, and then said to the officials: "Everyone go back, let's talk about it tomorrow morning." ”

Someone wanted to ask Zhou Hengke if he would continue to criticize and fold in the Qinzheng Palace, but Cui Zhenyi stopped him, and he said loudly: "Adults, let's go back." ”

Guo Shouning glanced at him deeply and said in a low voice, "What wind did you hear?" ”

He decided to follow Cui Zhenyi today.

Cui Zhenyi said: "No. ”

Guo Shouning naturally didn't believe it.

Zhou Heng said with a smile: "Lord Guo, the weather is cold, and there is no shortage of elderly people present, so let them go back, otherwise it will not be good to be infected with wind and cold." ”

"Lord Jin is sympathetic to you, you should go back." Guo Shouning said, reaching out to pull Cui Zhenyi's sleeve.

Zhou Heng continued: "This king caught a lot of fresh fish on the grange, and he just happened to eat yusheng, so the eldest uncle might as well try it together." ”

Of course, Cui Zhenyi agreed.

Guo Shouning immediately snorted and said, "Xia Guan is very hungry, and he also wants to taste fresh yusheng." ”

Tang Tianzheng, who had been silent, followed closely: "The listeners have a share, and the lower officials also want to join in the fun." ”

So, the officials watched the black lacquer flat-topped carriage of the Jin Palace's mansion followed by the carriages of Cui Zhenyi, Guo Shouning, and Tang Tianzheng, and drove away.

No one noticed that a small chamberlain watched all this through the crack in the door, and then rushed inside. (To be continued.) )
