Chapter 123: Surprised

The Queen Mother and the concubines gossiped for a long time, until the concubines finished saying all the words that could please the Queen Mother, and they couldn't come up with new tricks, and when the palace gradually quieted down, Cui Keyin hadn't come over.

"Didn't Grandma Teach Her?" The Queen Mother said unhappily: "What time is it now?" ”

Everyone looked at each other.

As a rule, Cui Keyin and Zhou Heng entered the palace today, in addition to going to the Qinzheng Palace to see Emperor Zhi'an, they also had to go to Kunning Palace to ask the Queen Mother for peace. No matter how bad Cui Keyin is, she has to come to meet the Queen Mother's mother-in-law.

However, seeing that it is almost noon, there is no one in sight, what is going on?

Song Shu accompanied her and said carefully: "Princess Jin, you won't go back, right?" ”

Shen Mingzhu glanced at her fiercely and said, "If you can't speak, no one will treat you as a mute." ”

The Queen Mother was upset, and when she saw Shen Mingzhu talking, she also glanced at her fiercely, and said, "Concubine De, go and see, where has Princess Jin gone now." ”

The women of the queen's / harem are all here, where can she go? Shen Mingzhu sneered, agreed, got up and walked out.

As soon as I got out of Kunning Palace, I felt that the air was much better. After beckoning the little chamberlain to ask, the little chamberlain immediately rushed to the front hall to inquire. Shen Mingzhu found another place to sit down and drink tea.

Half an hour later, the little waiter came back out of breath and said, "Back to Concubine De, the emperor left King Jin to talk to Princess Jin." ”

"Still talking at this hour?" Shen Mingzhu said strangely.

The little chamberlain nodded and said, "Yes, the chief manager told the slave in person, and there will be no mistake." ”

Shen Mingzhu asked the personal palace people to reward the little chamberlain, got up and went into the Kunning Palace to reply.

The Queen Mother said equally strangely: "Is there anything that has not been said yet?" ”

"The concubine doesn't know." Shen Mingzhu was stunned and said: "The emperor even drove Wang Zhe out, leaving only the Jin King and his wife to speak, and the concubines couldn't get in either." ”

The Queen Mother waved her hand, summoned Ma Liang, who had been waiting in Kunning Palace for most of the day, and said, "Go and take a look, please come over to Princess Jin." ”

If she doesn't come again, it's time for lunch, is it possible that she still wants to stay with Cui Keyin for dinner?

Ma Liang agreed, did not dare to instruct his godson to go, and rushed to the Qinzheng Hall in person.

"Ah, it's almost noon?" When Emperor An saw the clock leaking. Surprised: "I didn't expect the fourth brother and sister to be so talkative." I was very pleasant to talk to you. You go to the queen mother's place, invite Ann and come back, and have lunch with Xiaosi today. ”

Ma Liang persuaded: "Your Majesty." It's not in order. ”

Emperor Zhi'an said: "Spread my will." Please accompany the Queen. ”

That's the rules, right?

Ma Liang was helpless. I had to ask Cui Keyin to go to Kunning Palace, and then pass it to the queen to Emperor An.

Don't talk about the Queen Mother, even if the palace is full of concubines, none of them are not surprised. Unexpectedly, Cui Keyin voted for Emperor An. Not everyone of them, the concubines, has the opportunity to accompany the emperor to dinner.

Therefore, after Cui Keyin finished saluting, the Queen Mother first asked: "What did the emperor say to you?" ”

What do you say to make the emperor so happy?

"The emperor asked about the concubine when she was a child, and the concubine said something to the emperor." Cui Keyin said truthfully: "Presumably, the emperor doesn't know how the common people lived when they were children, so he listened to it with relish. ”

The Queen Mother said half-heartedly: "Is this really the case? ”

The queen was afraid that the queen mother would be unhappy again, so she gave Cui Keyin small shoes to wear, and said busily: "Today is the first time that Princess Jin has entered the palace, and the queen mother might as well pass the word to leave the King of Jin and Princess Jin for dinner, and the emperor and daughter-in-law will accompany her." ”

Cui Keyin entered the palace with the identity of the Cui family's young lady and Cui Shilang's niece, and now she entered the palace as the princess of Jin, so the queen said that "Princess Jin" was the first time to enter the palace.

The queen mother understood what the queen meant, the emperor had already opened his mouth to stay, it was better to eat together, and she also had a reputation of loving King Jin. How else to say that the queen is to her liking.

"Then let's stay for dinner." The Queen Mother said lightly.

had lunch in Kunning Palace, the Queen Mother wanted to take a nap, Zhou Heng and Cui Keyin said goodbye.

Emperor Zhi'an said: "You are busy preparing for the wedding, and you haven't entered the palace for a few days, so it's better to let the four brothers and sisters go back first, and we'll talk again." ”

He painted a lot of lotus flowers, and it was rare to find someone to admire, and he was very lonely.

How could Zhou Heng let Cui Keyin go home alone? He smiled kindly and said, "Ke Yin just passed the door, and the people in the house have to let her recognize it." The ministers stayed here, and the workers didn't know the kindness of the imperial brother, and they thought that there was something wrong with our husband and wife. ”

said the same, Emperor Zhi'an said: "You guys will come back tomorrow, right?" You enter the palace the day after tomorrow, I have something to tell you. ”

The Queen Mother glared at Emperor An and said, "Those who know say that you have a deep brotherhood, and those who don't know still think that you are going on." You are a dignified emperor, what do you have to say at any time to announce that Ah Heng enters the palace, do you need to be such a little child? ”

When the first emperor was there, he often lamented that the prince was weak, but now it seems that it is not only weak, but also that he has not grown up. Zhou Heng is now unsuccessful, one day, if he succeeds in his wings and his mother dies tragically, it is difficult to guarantee that he has no dissent, how can he be so defenseless? The Queen Mother sighed in her heart, but her face pretended to be very impatient.

Emperor Zhi'an naturally did not hold the emperor's stand in front of the queen mother, and he was beaten down a few times, and he grinned.

The Queen Mother became more and more disheartened, and waved her hand: "The mourning family is tired, you all go." ”

The three of them saluted and retired together, walked to the outer room, and when Emperor An looked back, he saw Cui Keyin two steps behind, pulled Zhou Heng's sleeve, and took two steps forward. Zhou Heng didn't know what he was going to do, so he had to speed up his pace to keep up with him.

The two walked to the side, and Emperor An whispered in Zhou Heng's ear: "I asked the queen mother, and she said that she didn't attack Wei Guifei." Wei Guifei's death has nothing to do with her. ”

Zhou Heng was stunned, and looked at Emperor Zhi'an with wide eyes in disbelief.

Emperor Zhi'an took a step back and nodded vigorously in front of Zhou Heng's gaze, meaning, you heard it right.

Is he vouching for himself as emperor? Or did he secretly investigate the affairs of the Queen Mother and was found out by the emperor? Zhou Heng's brain was so confused.

Cui Keyin walked behind Zhou Heng, and suddenly saw Emperor Zhi'an, who was walking in front, stop, and pulled Zhou Heng to hide behind the pillar and whispered, and immediately understood that Emperor Zhi'an had something inconvenient for him to hear, so he stopped and pretended to appreciate the hollow carving on the window page. After a while, I looked sideways and saw Zhou Heng standing with his mouth slightly open.

What's going on?

When Emperor An saw Cui Keyin looking over, he sneered and said, "I still have something to do, you can go back quickly." ”

He originally thought that Zhou Heng would jump up happily, but he didn't expect him to be sluggish all of a sudden, which was different from what he imagined.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you, Lord?" Cui Keyin tried her best to make her voice sound softer, and her face also looked confused.

Emperor Zhi'an opened his mouth and stammered: "He...... He ...... him for a long time, and then asked Zhou Heng: "Little Si, what's wrong with you?" (To be continued......)
