Chapter 8: Unhappy Breaking
Empress He saw that Empress Dowager Dong was so faceless on such an occasion, and she was also furious in her heart, but in terms of face, Empress He still needed Empress Dowager Dong, but Emperor Ling was sitting on the side. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
As Empress Dowager Dong accused Empress He with an unkind face, the atmosphere in the hall also froze.
"The queen mother atoned for her sins, but the concubines didn't dare. It's just because of the test of debate and the fact that there are many things in the harem, so it is long overdue, and I ask the Queen Mother and Your Majesty to forgive the concubines. I saw that Queen He was slightly blessed, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Hmph." Seeing that Empress He was right, Empress Dowager Dong couldn't be too difficult, after all, Emperor Ling was here, so she had to save some face for Empress He.
"Well, the queen doesn't have to be like this, I haven't been here for long. Sit down first. Come! Banquet opening. Emperor Ling is also a shrewd person, and he can see that there is not harmony between his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, so he doesn't say much, and after ordering Queen He to sit down, he will order someone to open a banquet.
With Emperor Ling's order, the palace maids and eunuchs came out and put all kinds of melons, fruits, meat, and soups on everyone's desks. Although the diet of the Han Dynasty did not have as many styles and tastes as in later generations, Zhong Ming Ding food, two meals a day, was still the mainstream. But as a royal family, Liu Yu has been able to eat food that ordinary people can't touch since he was a child, at least there are a lot of delicacies, and the taste is not good, but if you eat too much, you will get used to it. Seeing Liu Xie eating very happily, Liu Yu inevitably compared the delicacies of later generations, and constantly complained in his heart. At the same time, the offensive on food began.
When Liu Yu was facing the food in front of him and launched an offensive. Empress He, on the other side, kept observing Liu Yu. Before, because Liu Yu was the son of the abolished queen and was mute, Queen He didn't care about this prince at all. Queen He's mind is all for her son Liu Wei to compete for the position of the prince, before Liu Xie's mother Wang Meiren is the biggest enemy in Queen He's heart, the prince without a mother, in the competition for the position of the prince, how much strength will be lost, Queen He knows in her heart, and then poisoned Wang Meiren, but the hand and tail are not clean, which angered Emperor Ling, and even caused Liu Xie to be adopted by the queen mother, making her son farther and farther away from the position of the prince. Fortunately, he has been crowned as the queen, and his brother He Jin is a general, and Emperor Ling is afraid to maintain his current advantage. The mute prince before has now jumped out again, and he has been cured of his dumb disease. Empress He also has some henchmen in her hands, and she also received a summons from Emperor Ling to meet Liu Yu, and vaguely guessed that Liu Yu's recovery must have a lot to do with Emperor Ling. Liu Yu is good-looking, plus Empress He didn't know much about Liu Yu before, and for the enemies who didn't understand, Empress He increased Liu Yu's threat several times in her heart.
Although Liu Yu is a threat, Liu Xie's threat is even greater, because he has the big backer of the Empress Dowager Dong.
The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors.
"Your Majesty, you haven't been to your concubine for a long time, and you often miss Your Majesty." Empress He said.
"Recently, the state has been busy, and the time when I have time will pass." The Spirit Emperor said indifferently.
The state affairs are busy, and it should be a ****. Hearing Emperor Ling's words, Liu Yu slandered in his heart.
"Recently, the general entered the palace and said to his concubines that His Majesty has not established a prince for a long time, and the ministers are all talking about it." Empress He said, peeked at Emperor Ling, and saw that Emperor Ling's face was normal, so she continued: "The canonization of the crown prince and the prince of the country is a major national event, and Your Majesty should have made plans as soon as possible. ”
"The queen knows that this is a major national matter, and I have my own arrangements, so the queen doesn't have to worry about it, and she can manage the affairs of the harem with peace of mind." Emperor Ling's face was displeased.
"Is the queen too much in charge, the emperor is at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, and the matter of the crown prince is delayed, why not. I'm afraid the queen has something else in mind. Empress Dowager Dong sneered beside her.
Empress Dowager Dong knew what Empress He was thinking. If Emperor Ling is now crowned as the crown prince, then relying on the general He Jin, a relative, the court will inevitably support Liu Wei as the crown prince, which is not what the Empress Dowager Dong wants to see.
Empress Dowager Dong's cynicism, Empress He's heart was nameless, but it was not easy to attack, and she sat down angrily.
"The queen mother, the child still has state affairs, so go back first. Return to the palace. Emperor Ling had no desire to eat, so he confessed to Empress Dowager Dong and got up to leave.
"Come with me." When he walked to Liu Yu's side, he directly said a word to Liu Yu and walked out of the palace gate.
