Qiao Fengzhi saluted respectfully: "Weichen knocks to see Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live Long live." Weichen has seen Princess Roufu, and the princess is extremely happy. ”

"Mistress Joe excuses me." Emperor Qian said to Yan Yuese and ordered Qiao Fengzhi to take a seat.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." After he sat down, Emperor Qian's expression was gentle and said: "Fengzhi, since you came to Nanqian, I silently watched you and found that you are really outstanding and outstanding. And I have always been thirsty for love, otherwise Yunxiang would not have abandoned the north and ran to the south, voted for my Qianchao, and became a peerless countryman of my great Qian. It's just that then again, no one is perfect, and everyone has shortcomings. And you, the disadvantage is that you are too temperamental, and you value the small and the big. Do you understand? ”

When Qiao Fengzhi heard this, he naturally understood. Emperor Qiandi just said that he attached too much importance to the personal feelings of his children and neglected the overall situation. It's just that to this day, who knows that he has regrets in his heart? Perhaps, this was not the path he and she should have taken. It's just that I was stunned at the time, but at this time I was sober but I was already a person in the bureau, and I couldn't escape.

Qiao Fengzhi said in a respectful tone: "What Your Majesty said is that Weichen is ashamed. It's just that many small ones don't clash with the big ones, but when they come to Wechen, they have to be in a dilemma, and Wechen doesn't know why. ”

After hearing this, Emperor Qian smiled slowly, then looked at Huo Jingrou, and said: "Rou'er, Qiao Shangshu is the pillar of our country, although you are a princess, you have no talent, no virtue and no pay, you should respect the pillar of the country, you might as well pour a cup for Qiao Shangshu to show that my heavenly family treats my subjects." How is it? ”

Huo Jingcheng listened to it, and he was pleased: "What my father said is that the sons and daughters are ashamed, and they have no merit in the society, so they should respect the virtuous ministers of our dynasty and the pillars of our country." ”

"Wechen is ashamed." Qiao Fengzhi said, Huo Jingrou was already holding a wine jug and approaching his seat. Qiao Fengzhi sat upright, not squinting, and from the time he came in until now, he never glanced at Princess Naroufu.

The red sleeves in front of him were fragrant, and the wine was in the cup, and Huo Jingrou had slowly poured it for him.

"Presumptuous!!" At this moment, Emperor Qiandi suddenly shouted angrily. Huo Jingrou and Qiao Fengzhi were both surprised.

Emperor Qian ignored the surprise of the two of them, and reprimanded Huo Jingrou: "Princess Roufu! The monarchs and ministers here, and when it comes to pouring wine, why aren't they the first kings and ministers? You despise your father so much, it's really disrespectful and unfilial! ”

"Father?" Huo Jingrou was stunned: "Father, it's not you who want your son...... ministers"

"Shut up!" Emperor Qian interrupted her and said angrily: "Princess Roufu has no respect for her elders, someone is coming!" Beat the twenty boards on the spot! ”

When the words fell, Huo Jingrou's expression changed from shock to disbelief: "Father, father? You ......"

At this time, the palace people had already received the order to enter, overwhelmed Huo Jingrou and clamped him to the ground, and he couldn't help but say that it was a board on his body.

"Ahh Ahh

Qiao Fengzhi saw all this in his eyes, and he already knew it in his heart. It turned out that this was what Emperor Qiandi called "talk about it in private". The king of a country can't admit that his princess assassinated the official's wife, nor can he ignore it and bully the ministers with power on the grounds that there is no evidence, so he simply uses this way to appease the grievances of the courtiers. It's just that with only twenty boards, how can you calm the pain and hatred of losing your child?

One out of his mind, it's already ten boards. Huo Jingrou has been pampered since she was a child, where has she ever suffered such skin and flesh, she is immediately sad and painful, tears flowing, and she is miserable. This misery, in front of the person he admires, was so ashamed that he couldn't do it, so he gritted his silver teeth and didn't say a word, and he suffered it stubbornly.

Qiao Fengzhi could only go down the steps of Emperor Qian, so he came to the middle and knelt on the ground, and saluted: "Please spare the princess, the princess is a woman, and the etiquette does not have to be too strict." If Your Majesty still wants to be beaten, it will be up to Weichen to suffer. ”

"Alright, stop! Princess Roufu, do you know what is wrong? Emperor Qiandi waved his hand, and the board stopped.

Huo Jingrou was even ashamed and painful, but when he saw Qiao Fengzhi coming forward to protect him, he was not moved but had a grudge, and said to him: "Qiao Fengzhi! You forced my father to beat me, what kind of good person am I now? You wish my father had killed me, did you? ”

"Oh?" Qiao Fengzhi's eyes did not squint: "The princess didn't know where to hear this." Why did Wechen force His Majesty to beat you and kill you? ”

"You!!" Huo Jingrou was speechless.

"Okay, help the princess go down to recuperate!" Emperor Qian ordered.

Chunping hurriedly stepped forward with a maid to help her, but she grabbed Qiao Fengzhi's sleeve tightly and cried: "Qiao Fengzhi! I hate you! I hate you! ”

Qiao Fengzhi pulled back his sleeve and said lightly: "Congratulations to Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

"Qiao Fengzhi! I hate you—" Her voice faded away, and when she was about to lose her hearing, suddenly another voice came from the wind, "I love you—"

When the last sentence came in, Emperor Qiandi and Qiao Fengzhi's faces were slightly embarrassed.

"Alright, the banquet continues. I still have to have a good time with Aiqing. Qiao Shangshu, sit. Emperor Qian broke the embarrassment in time, and Qiao Fengzhi returned to his seat as he said.

Not long after, Huo Jingcheng was also invited to the banquet.

The father and son have been in the court for the abolition of the matter in public since three days ago, although the surface has been as usual in the past three days, in fact, there are pimples in the bottom of their hearts, and it is inevitable that they will see each other in private today.

Emperor Qiandi saw him sitting calmly, drank a glass of wine, and sighed: "Jingcheng, the matter of your mother, let it pass." There are many things that I don't want to say, and you can't blame me without knowing it. ”

Huo Jingcheng's handsome eyes darkened slightly when he heard this. What should be known and what should not be known, he has already known from Yun Ce. Those truths were like glue, and they really stuck to his mouth, so that he could no longer say words of pleading. The biggest mistake a woman and a queen can make in her life is nothing more than that. Kill the concubine and kill the prince...... As a son, he can forgive his mother. But as a husband, how can the father forgive such a wife?

After thinking about it, he raised his hand and saluted: "What my father said is that the ministers will never mention the matter of the queen mother again." The sons of the emperor had previously collided with their father's words, and they also hoped that their father would forgive them. ”

Emperor Qian's face was obviously pleased, and he said, "Okay! You and I, father and son, just talk about it. Come! Today, the three of us don't care about anything else, we only drink and talk! ”

……

The next day, Qiao Fengzhi returned to the court. Yao Duran breathed a sigh of relief, he avoided the court, and then promoted to the court, and at the same time Princess Roufu was beaten again, in between, what did she not understand about the loss of the child in her womb. It's just that after all, it can't be premised in front of Qiao Feng, what is the use except to make him heartbroken?

The days go on as usual, like a book, with stories that may be ordinary or wonderful, and pages are turned.

The four seasons of Nanqian are like spring, and there is no obvious alternation of seasons, and it seems lengthy under the same situation.

The matter of re-dividing the north and the south was finally settled, and the old clans in the north jointly asked Emperor Qiandi to change his policy, not only suffered the fruits of defeat, but even the person who was the leader, Xiahou Feng, was also deprived of the title of the fief and summoned to Nanqian.

On this day, Emperor Qiandi finally brought up the old matter again, and mentioned the matter of the mutual relocation of the north and the south in the court, which caused an uproar among the ministers, and hundreds of officials had different opinions and discussions.

In this regard, Huo Jingcheng has already made arrangements. So a courtier came out to make a statement, and recounted Qiao Fengzhi's words about mutual relocation that day, and bitterly stated the pros and cons. One disadvantage is that the Northland has been in turmoil for many years, and there are carbuncle scars everywhere. The second disadvantage is that the mutual relocation of the north and the south will not achieve a situation of merging the two, but will turn into a situation of two into three.

These two drawbacks were painfully stated in public, and after Emperor Qian's enlightenment, he finally accepted the idea of mutual relocation in frustration and never mentioned it again.

……

When Yao Du dyed out of the moon, it was already the tenth day of the ninth month. said that she was sitting in confinement, but she was forced by Qiao Fengzhi to sit for forty days. At the same time, the injury on the shoulder is almost healed, but the whole person has lost a lot of weight, the melon seed face is getting smaller and smaller, the jaw is sharpened a lot, and a pair of peach blossom eyes are bigger and deeper than before. The waist is also so slender that it seems to be able to be pinched with one hand, and the whole person feels quite weak.

After bathing, Yao Duran sat in front of the dressing table and instructed: "Lu Yan, dress up for me, remember, use a few more hairpins for the golden hairpin, how luxurious and how to come." ”

Lu Yan combed her hair and dressed her up: "Madam, you have always loved to be plain and beautiful, why are you so dressed up today?" ”

Yao Duran smiled faintly: "I'm going to visit the princess's mansion in a while to visit this noble princess Roufu, so naturally I have to dress appropriately." ”

Lu Yan was shocked: "Madam, are you going to the princess's mansion?" ”

A cold color swept in Yao Duran's beautiful eyes: "What?" Can't I go? Today is the Longtan Tiger's Den, and I will do it right. ”

……

In the princess's mansion, Huo Jingrou was sitting in the square pavilion in the garden to enjoy the paintings. Since the middle palace was abolished, she was beaten by Emperor Qian, so she was stuffed in the house for a few days, which can be said to be physically and mentally painful, and these days have finally eased up.

The two maidservants slowly unfolded the scroll to her, only to see a pair of finely carved figures leaping on the paper. The man on the painting is dressed in white, like a celestial man, with a jade-like face that is beautiful and shocking, and the whole person is noble and cannot be blasphemed. A beautiful woman is leaning on his arms, her slender right hand gently against his heart, and the man's right hand is holding the woman's willow waist, and the two look at each other affectionately, like a fairy couple.

Huo Jingrou looked at the painting, was very satisfied, and said to Chunping who was standing quietly on the side: "Chunping, the painter of this chapter is worthy of being a famous teacher in my palace art gallery. ”

Chunping smiled: "Yes, princess, you can see that this person is drawn like a real person in front of you." However, the painter of this chapter is slow, the princess ordered it the day before yesterday, and it was only completed today that someone sent it. ”

Huo Jingrou's beautiful eyes frequently lingered on the picture scroll, and she was reluctant to look away for a moment: "It's okay, good things are worth waiting for." ”

While the master and servant were talking, the attendant in the palace hurriedly came and reported: "Princess, Mrs. Qiao is here, saying that she wants to visit Her Royal Highness the princess, and she is waiting outside the palace at this moment." ”

Huo Jingrou was surprised, and then her face turned slightly cold: "What is she doing?" Scold! Go, let her in, and the main hall should take a good look at what kind of play this lady Shangshu is going to sing today. ”

The attendant did as he was told.

Chunping was puzzled: "Princess, Mrs. Qiao has just come out of confinement, and it is really incomprehensible that she suddenly came to our princess's mansion today." ”
