Chapter 68: The Emperor

Fat chapter, ask for a monthly pass

****

Empress Dowager Han almost drove Qin Zhen and Qin Lin away, and after that, Empress Dowager Han left the table and did not call Ji Xiaotang.

Seeing that everyone had dispersed, Ji Xiaotang walked from the main hall. In addition to Mama Cheng, Mama Fang and others naturally followed. Ji Xiaotang did not immediately return to the side hall this time.

"I want to go out for a walk and relax." Ji Xiaotang said, this sentence is mainly said by the other party's grandmother.

Mama Fang nominally serves her, but she represents the Queen Mother, and Ji Xiaotang will ask Mama Fang what she means if she moves. She is so well-behaved and can behave well, and she is very popular in Cining Palace these days.

It's Mama Fang, and she also likes Ji Xiaotang a little in her heart.

"Slaves and maids accompany the county lord." Mama Fang said with a smile.

Of course, Ji Xiaotang couldn't help but let her accompany him, so he nodded and agreed, and a few people left Cining Palace, and slowly walked in the direction of the Imperial Garden. Ji Xiaotang had long noticed in her heart that she was not paying attention to others, but Emperor Longqing.

When he walked to the Imperial Garden, on the shore of the Imperial Garden, Ji Xiaotang saw Emperor Longqing from a distance.

Emperor Longqing put his hands behind his back and faced the lake, not knowing what he was thinking. Emperor Longqing also had no servants around him, but fortunately, it was close to evening at this time, and it was not sunny in the sun.

"It turns out that Your Majesty is also here, Mama, should we avoid it, or should we say hello to Your Majesty?" Ji Xiaotang stopped and asked Mama Fang.

"This ......" Mama Fang smiled, Ji Xiaotang was very sensible, and when she entered Cining Palace, she never made her feel sad, and it was only for a few days. made her a fortune.

As long as it does not conflict with Empress Dowager Han's intentions, Mama Fang is very willing to make it convenient for Ji Xiaotang.

Seeing Emperor Longqing or not, Mama Fang thinks that it will not affect anything.

"It's all up to the county lord to make his own decision." Mama Fang said with a smile.

Ji Xiaotang also smiled.

"Now that we've met. If you go away, it will be rude. ”

Saying this, Ji Xiaotang led people towards Emperor Longqing.

She walked behind Emperor Longqing and deliberately took a heavy step, but Emperor Longqing seemed to be unaware. Emperor Longqing was looking at the lake in a daze, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Ji Xiaotang stepped forward a few more steps and saluted Emperor Longqing. However, there was no sound.

After another half an hour, Emperor Longqing seemed to come back to his senses and rolled his eyes slightly. I saw Ji Xiaotang. Emperor Longqing was obviously taken aback, he really didn't notice that Ji Xiaotang was coming.

"Anle County Lord ......"

"Greetings to Your Majesty." Ji Xiaotang saluted again, "I hope it didn't disturb Your Majesty." ”

Emperor Longqing smiled, this is a man with a very gentle attitude.

"How long has Xiaotang been here?" Emperor Longqing asked. He clearly saw it. Ji Xiaotang has been here for a while.

"It didn't take long." Ji Xiaotang said with a smile.

"Why don't you call me?"

"Rushing forward, it's already a little abrupt, how dare you make a noise to disturb Your Majesty."

"The third brother and the fourth brother are right, Xiaotang is really understanding and very caring." The corners of Emperor Longqing's mouth curled slightly, and his gaze really fell on Ji Xiaotang's body for the first time.

Looking at Ji Xiaotang carefully, Emperor Longqing nodded.

"Sure enough, the third and fourth brothers have a good eye."

"Your Majesty." Ji Xiaotang was not familiar with Emperor Longqing, and she knew that what she was about to say might be a little reckless. But Emperor Longqing is her only chance now. "Your Majesty should already know that I don't care about Prince An or Prince Su."

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for being bold, I have known Ayou for a long time, and the eldest princess entered the palace for our family affairs."

When it came to Princess Taichang, Emperor Longqing was obviously shocked, but he recovered quickly.

Even if it was just a momentary gaffe, Ji Xiaotang still looked at it in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, the only one who can help us now is Your Majesty." Ji Xiaotang didn't say much about the eldest princess, but directly said her intention.

That's right, Ji Xiaotang has already faintly sensed the intentions of the Empress Dowager Han, she saw that Emperor Longqing and the Empress Dowager Han are not monolithic, and Emperor Longqing and the Empress Dowager Han are not the same kind of people.

As long as Emperor Longqing nodded, Empress Dowager Han could not categorically refuse. If she and Qi Younian work harder, things will be successful.

Ji Xiaotang entered the palace, but he didn't plan to be at the mercy of the Empress Dowager Han!

Emperor Longqing listened to Ji Xiaotang's words and was stunned for a long time.

"Your Majesty......" Ji Xiaotang was patient enough, but Emperor Longqing was stunned for too long.

"Xiaotang, I heard you right, right?" Emperor Longqing finally came back to his senses, and there seemed to be a trace of warmth in his attitude. "You're saying that you and Ayou are in love and want me to fulfill you?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Ji Xiaotang immediately responded.

Emperor Longqing looked at Ji Xiaotang carefully.

"Your Majesty, I know that I, a woman who has not yet left the cabinet, is really bold to say such things, but I am afraid that some people will say that I don't know the shame ......"

"Nope." Emperor Longqing waved his hand, and there was more eagerness in his eyes when he looked at Ji Xiaotang. This person seems to have a little bit of life now. "Xiaotang, you are very brave. Some people, in their whole lives, may not have the courage of you. ”

Ji Xiaotang was happy in her heart, she really didn't misunderstand Emperor Longqing.

"So, is Your Majesty willing to help me?" Ji Xiaotang asked, worried that Emperor Longqing had other concerns, "Prince Su and Prince An behaved like that just now, for the sake of their brother's harmony, pointing me out to Ayou is also the best solution." ”

In this way, it can not only fulfill her and Qi Younian's lovers, but also avoid the competition between royal brothers.

"Changning also likes Ayou very much, and told me that if you don't have Ayou, you won't marry." Emperor Longqing said suddenly.

"The princess is young, and after a while, maybe her mind will change. And the matter of marriage always has to be consensual. Your Majesty should also know that Ayou has no affection for the princess. ”

"The goddess has a heart, and King Xiang has no dreams." Emperor Longqing sighed.

"The marriage between the royal family and the mighty marquis mansion for generations is also for the stability of the country. If Your Majesty is willing to fulfill me and Ayou, Ayou will definitely be grateful to Your Majesty. Swear to repay Your Majesty. But if His Majesty insists on marrying, it is just a pair of resentful couples for a long time. Naturally, Ayou does not have a grudge against His Majesty, but the family is not harmonious. Many heroes have been ruined on this, Your Majesty is wise, how could he do such a thing! ”

"Xiaotang, you are not only brave, but also wise and eloquent. I finally know why the third and fourth brothers are fighting to marry you. Emperor Longqing looked at Ji Xiaotang with a strange expression.

It's Ji Xiaotang. At this moment, I can't understand what Emperor Longqing is thinking in his heart.

"Prince An and Prince Su are just momentarily angry. Your Majesty, Ayou and I, only Your Majesty can accomplish it. ”

"I don't want to do it." Emperor Longqing lowered his head slightly. whispered.

"Your Majesty?" Ji Xiaotang didn't hear Emperor Longqing's words clearly, so he asked again.

"Xiaotang's family affairs, the Queen Mother has long had something to say. The Queen Mother has already made arrangements for Xiaotang's family affairs......"

"Your Majesty ......, as long as Your Majesty is willing to ......"

"I'll go talk to the queen mother. But....... I'll do my best. Emperor Longqing's voice was still low.

It doesn't feel like an emperor is talking at all. This is Ji Xiaotang's most profound feeling at this time.

The authoritarian power of the Empress Dowager Han has reached this point, and Emperor Longqing was set up by the Empress Dowager Han.

This is Ji Xiaotang's second thought.

Emperor Longqing was a gentle man, but at the same time a weak man.

The last realization made Ji Xiaotang's heart sink slightly.

Such a weak man, although he said that he would do his best, could he succeed?

But, for now. The only one who can help her and Qi Younian is Emperor Longqing.

"Whether Your Majesty succeeds or not. Your Majesty has this heart, and Ah You and I will be grateful to Your Majesty for the rest of our lives. …… Your Majesty, as long as Your Majesty persists, Your Majesty will definitely succeed. In the end, Ji Xiaotang couldn't help but encourage Emperor Longqing.

"Xiaotang ......" Emperor Longqing was laughing, but the smile was a little bitter. I will do my best. ”

"I believe it." Ji Xiaotang nodded solemnly.

Emperor Longqing turned around slightly, and faced the lake again.

"Xiaotang, do you know, two days ago in this lake, people drowned again."

"Back to Your Majesty, I heard about it. A girl and her maid who were candidates for entering the palace from other provinces came to the imperial garden at night and drowned in the lake. Why did anyone fall overboard after that? Ji Xiaotang asked, secretly surprised in his heart. Emperor Longqing didn't care about everything, how could he suddenly talk about this topic. Could it be that he stood by the lake, staring at the water for a long time, because people were drowned in it?

"A girl and her girl," the corners of Emperor Longqing's mouth twitched slightly, and he didn't know whether he was sneering, mocking, or something else. "You don't even remember their names, oh no, you don't!"

Emperor Longqing's tone turned out to be quite intense.

There are so many alternative girls, who can remember the names one by one.

"Your Majesty is compassionate and compassionate." Ji Xiaotang said calmly, "It's a pity that I have almost no contact with those girls, except for those who I knew before, I don't know anyone else." ”

"You don't recognize her, of course you don't recognize her." Emperor Longqing sighed and turned his head to look at Ji Xiaotang again.

Ji Xiaotang was cautious at the moment.

"I don't blame you." Emperor Longqing said kindly, "That's it, you can go." …… I will do my best to do what you entrust. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I wait for your Majesty's good news." Ji Xiaotang saluted Emperor Longqing again, and then he retired and took people out of the imperial garden~ .

It's not that she doesn't want to talk to Emperor Longqing more, she wants to further impress Emperor Longqing. But Emperor Longqing's mood was obviously not good, such a gentle man had such a moody side.

Ji Xiaotang sighed slightly, she faintly felt that Emperor Longqing had such emotions because of the drowning of people in the Imperial Garden Lake.

However, over the years, there must have been many drowning people in the lake of the Imperial Garden, is it true that Emperor Longqing will be like this every time?

Ji Xiaotang doesn't think so.

That is, the person who drowned this time is special, or rather, the person who drowned this time is special to Emperor Longqing.

"Mama," while walking towards Cining Palace, Ji Xiaotang chatted with Mama Fang without a trace, and talked about the drowned girl and girl, and then Ji Xiaotang asked, "Did someone fall into the water later?" ”

"Why does the county lord ask that?" Mama Fang smiled, "No, after that, the palace strengthened inspections." There was no drowning of people. That incident was really accidental. A girl from the countryside, bold and ignorant of the rules. ”

Mama Fang was obviously reluctant to talk about this. Soon the subject changed.

Ji Xiaotang didn't ask anymore.

Could it be that Emperor Longqing had taken a fancy to the girl who drowned later at the banquet in the imperial garden. And this incident was known by other people, and out of jealousy and other reasons, the girl was killed?

Ji Xiaotang thought for a while, and felt that it was necessary to inquire about the girl's life experience.

And this thing. But it was not easy to carry out in the palace, Ji Xiaotang thought of Qin Zhen first. Qin Zhen is outside the palace, and he can quickly find out the girl's life experience.

But Qin Zhen ....... Thinking of asking Qin Zhen for help, he naturally thought of the situation when Qin Zhen asked the Empress Dowager Han for grace in the main hall.

This is also a worry-free one, but one yard is one yard, and the cooperative relationship between her and Qin Zhen has always been there.

Return to Cining Palace. Ji Xiaotang was thinking about how to meet Qin Zhen. Or ask a safe person to give Qin Zhen a message, and he saw a team of people walking quickly.

Ji Xiaotang raised his head, saw the person clearly, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

The person who came was Changning, and because Changning offended Qin Min, he should have been punished for copying scriptures in a side hall at this time. Qin Min passed away, and Changning actually came out to walk freely, this is really!

Ji Xiaotang rarely moved. At this moment, he was really angry.

However, she quickly loosened her brow. The situation is stronger than the man. In the face of Changning, you can only outwit.

Changning had already seen Ji Xiaotang from a distance, so he immediately quickened his pace and walked to Ji Xiaotang.

"I've seen the princess!" Ji Xiaotang behaved like a courtesy.

Changning actually accepted Ji Xiaotang's salute arrogantly, and he didn't return the salute.

"Oh, who is this?" Changning deliberately looked Ji Xiaotang up and down, "Isn't this the county lord of Anle?" Bengong just heard a big joke, a certain person is a fool to talk about dreams, and he actually took advantage of the death of the eldest princess, and there is no proof of death, saying that she has a marriage contract with Ayou! Haha, this is the funniest joke Hongu has heard over the years! ”

"What's so funny, princess, please make it clear." Ji Xiaotang looked at Changning calmly.

Changning originally wanted to see Ji Xiaotang's depressed or angry appearance, but Ji Xiaotang didn't need to speak, just her calm appearance was enough to make Changning rush to frustrate, so that he was even more annoyed and angry.

"This palace will teach you what it means to be good at laughing." Changning rolled up his sleeves, and while beckoning the people who followed behind him, he pounced on Ji Xiaotang.

Changning couldn't defeat Ji Xiaotang verbally, so he wanted to do it. She was already bold, and even Xinhuatang dared to break in to find Ji Xiaotang's bad luck, not to mention that she was still in the palace now, which was her chassis.

Changning thinks that this time, no matter what, she will be able to breathe a sigh of relief on Ji Xiaotang.

However, Ji Xiaotang still has Mama Fang by his side.

In this deep palace, some things can happen, and some things can never happen.

Mama Fang hurriedly stepped forward and stopped Changning.

Changning naturally recognized the henchman beside the Empress Dowager Han, and Changning knew that Mama Fang was in Cining Palace and had the status in front of the Empress Dowager. At this time, if someone else stopped in front of her, she would definitely add punches and kicks. But in the face of Mama Fang, Changning didn't dare.

"Mama, it's none of your business, get out of the way."

"Princess," Mama Fang could be said to be desperate to stop Changning, while persuading Changning, "Princess, the county lord of Anle has not offended the princess." Even if the county lord of Anle offended the princess, there was also the queen mother who presided over justice. ”

Knowing that reasoning couldn't persuade Changning, Mama Fang had to move the Empress Dowager Han out.

"The princess forgot the instructions of the Queen Mother, does she still want to go to the side hall to copy the scriptures?!" Mama Fang said on the one hand, and looked at Changning on the other.

Changning looked at Mama Fang, still unwilling, so he pushed Mama Fang away.

Mama Fang tightly protected Ji Xiaotang behind her, and used all her strength to fight against Changning.

Changning couldn't, and suddenly let go of his hand angrily.

Mama Fang stumbled, and fell to the ground with a thud, even if she fell, she still opened her hands and made a posture to protect Ji Xiaotang.

Changning didn't take this opportunity to pounce on Ji Xiaotang again, after all, this is Cining Palace, and Mama Fang is so eager to protect Ji Xiaotang, that is, Empress Dowager Han has a clear will.

Changning really didn't dare to disobey the Empress Dowager Han.

"Ji Xiaotang, you have been lying to me. You wait and see, this palace will never let you go, you wait and see, there will be no good fruit for you to eat. ”

Changning fell down this cruel sentence, and ran towards the main hall of Cining Palace angrily. She was going to see Empress Dowager Han.

When Changning left, Ji Xiaotang hurriedly helped Mama Fang up.

"Thank you so much, Mama." Ji Xiaotang thanked Mama Fang.

Mama Fang was busy and said that she didn't dare to do it.

"The princess has a childish temper and doesn't really hurt the county lord. But let the slave maid please the county lord. "Mama Fang, this is obviously to excuse Changning.

Ji Xiaotang naturally wouldn't expose her, so he nodded with a smile, as if he recognized her words: "No matter what, I'm grateful to Mama." ”

Mama Fang was smiling, Ji Xiaotang was really sensible, no wonder Empress Dowager Han still praised her even when she wanted to get rid of her the most.

"Mama. I won't go to see the Queen Mother for the time being. Ji Xiaotang said to the other grandmother again.

Mama Fang knew that Ji Xiaotang didn't want to meet Changning again, and was about to nod. I saw that Empress Dowager Han sent someone out and asked Ji Xiaotang to enter the hall immediately to speak.

"The queen mother wants to see the county lord, the princess has a child's temper, and she comes and goes quickly. The county lord has nothing to worry about anymore. Mama Fang smiled at Ji Xiaotang and said.

"Mama is right." Ji Xiaotang nodded. Immediately, under the guidance of Mama Fang, he entered the main hall.

Empress Dowager Han sat in the hall with a smile on her face, and Changning sat at the bottom of Empress Dowager Han, with a calm face and pouting, looking angry.

Ji Xiaotang stepped forward to salute, and Empress Dowager Han asked Ji Xiaotang to sit down on her other side.

"Changning is a child's temper, but he doesn't have anything in his heart. There are also some misunderstandings between you, and I have already explained them to Changning. Come. I'll be a peacemaker for you, you two good sisters. That's it. ”

Empress Dowager Han said while holding Ji Xiaotang with one hand and pulling Changning with the other.

Changning twisted his body and avoided Empress Dowager Han's hand.

No matter what Empress Dowager Han told her, Changning was still awkward.

"Changning ......" Empress Dowager Han bluffed her face and glared at Changning, her hand still outstretched.

Changning still pouted~ and stretched out his hand unwillingly.

Empress Dowager Han held Changning and put Ji Xiaotang and Changning's hands together.

"Okay, the clouds are all gone. You two, whoever makes trouble again in the future, and mentions the past again, will be angry with me and will resist the decree! Empress Dowager Han accentuated her tone, and then said kindly, "You two sisters are fine, I can rest assured." ”

Changning turned his face away and didn't look at Ji Xiaotang.

"Changning......" Empress Dowager Han called Changning in a deep voice, and after a while, Changning turned her head, "Xiaotang, I didn't mean to, you...... Please forgive me. ”

Even in a stiff tone, almost word by word, Changning did apologize.

Ji Xiaotang was not surprised.

"The princess is gracious. I have something wrong, and I ask the princess to bear with me. Ji Xiaotang said with a smile.

"That's right." Empress Dowager Han laughed, "Look at how good you are now, let me be happy to watch." ”

After the Empress Dowager Han finished making peace, she asked Ji Xiaotang where he had just gone.

"I went for a walk in the Imperial Garden, and I met Your Majesty." Ji Xiaotang said truthfully.

"Oh......, Your Majesty is also in the Imperial Garden?" Empress Dowager Han's gaze slowly turned, and she drooped slightly~ and lowered her eyelids.

Ji Xiaotang knew that Empress Dowager Han was not asking her, so she didn't answer.

Empress Dowager Han was silent, and Ji Xiaotang hurriedly got up to say goodbye.

Empress Dowager Han did not keep Ji Xiaotang, but kept Changning.

Ji Xiaotang walked for a while, but Empress Dowager Han was still silent.

Changning couldn't help it.

"Queen Mother......" Changning hugged one of Empress Dowager Han's arms and shook it.

Empress Dowager Han finally came back to her senses.

"Queen Mother, how did you promise me, why Ji Xiaotang is still alive, and you want me to apologize to her and reconcile with her?" It was only a short time, and Empress Dowager Han didn't tell her everything thoroughly, and at this time, Changning needed an explanation that could satisfy her.

"Queen Mother, are you doing this to paralyze Ji Xiaotang. Just before she died, give her a full meal. Changning didn't wait for Empress Dowager Han to explain, and then his eyes lit up and he told his guess.

Empress Dowager Han frowned, looking at Changning a little helpless.

People are afraid that compared to Fang Cai Changning and Ji Xiaotang together, the performance of the two people is almost very different. Compared with Ji Xiaotang, where does Changning have a little princess bearing and demeanor!

However, after all, it is her own daughter, and even if Empress Dowager Han is no longer satisfied with her, she still loves her from the bottom of her heart.

"Xiaotang can't die, I'll keep her useful." Empress Dowager Han told Changning.

Changning was taken aback and couldn't accept it.

"The queen mother ......, there are so many people in the world, who can't use the queen mother, I have to use Ji Xiaotang, keep her, I don't follow."

Although Empress Dowager Han dotes on Changning, she will never change because of Changning in serious matters.

"Although there are many people in the world, only Ji Xiaotang can do this. Ji Xiaotang can't die no matter what, not only can't she die, but we also have to take good care of her and let her live well. This is the reason why Empress Dowager Han asked Changning and Ji Xiaotang to reconcile.

"If she doesn't die, what will Ayou do?" Changning was anxious.

Qi Younian's temper will not give up on Ji Xiaotang at all, unless Ji Xiaotang dies.
