Chapter 166: Punishment for kneeling in the imperial study
Emperor Ji Wu sat upright, covering most of his face, Xian Chen couldn't see his face, and he couldn't guess his thoughts.
As the saying goes, don't hit the smiling person when you reach out, and don't scold the gift giver when you open your mouth.
There was a solemn silence in the imperial study, laughing at the moment, it was impossible to laugh, for fear of falling into a hippie smiling face in front of the king, disrespecting the emperor's face.
This gift, Xianchen came in a hurry, and he didn't prepare a gift on his body.
The only way to do this is to make a bow bow to see if it can be reduced and reduce Emperor Jiwu's punishment for her trespassing into Siyun Palace.
With a plan in his heart, Xian Chen hurriedly bowed to Emperor Ji Wu with interest.
She fluttered...... Get on your knees at once.
Kowtow three times: "Xianchen knocks to see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live, long live." ”
Her appearance looked a little funny, and Gonggong Li couldn't help but cover his mouth and smile.
Emperor Ji Wu didn't deviate his head, only raised his eyes, looked at Xianchen through the edge of the fold, and said unhurriedly, "Coming?" ”
Then, his eyes returned to the fold, and he knelt like this, not calling her to get up.
For a while, there was silence in the imperial study, and the needle drop could be heard.
Disc powder absorbs enough sunlight during the day, and at night, the fluorescence will be unusually obvious.
After a long time, the palace maid named Gui Zhi will definitely find that she is stained with screen powder, so she will go to bathe and change clothes, and it will not be easy to find her again.
It's not a problem to kneel like this all the time.
Slim Dust is not the kind of person who can't hold his breath; But tonight, she really couldn't hold her breath anymore.
She secretly slandered in her heart, Emperor Ji Wu, which one do you sing silently? Can't you just be a little more numb and give a happy word?
Okay, if you don't give me a good time, can't I find you a good time myself?
So Xianchen straightened up, neither humble nor arrogant, and said sonorously: "I don't know it's so late, the emperor summoned the courtiers, what's the matter?" ”
This time, Emperor Ji Wu didn't even raise his eyelids, and said softly, "Go and kneel outside the imperial study." ”
Xianchen hit the cotton like a heavy punch, this feeling of weakness made her have nothing to do, and completely gave up her plan to visit Yunhua Palace at night tonight.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Kneeling also has to kneel with personality, Xianchen didn't say more, she knew that talking too much was nonsense.
She got up lightly, took a light step, straightened her back, and knelt outside the door of the imperial study.
Xianchen knelt, his mind was calm, thinking that it was a blessing or a curse, and that he could not avoid it.
If Emperor Ji Wu doesn't move, she won't move.
I don't know who spread the news that Xianchen was punished to kneel in the imperial study, and for a while, this matter reached the queen's Jinhua Palace.
The queen was getting ready to go to bed, and a grandmother was waiting for her to change her clothes.
The grandmother took off the gorgeous clothes on the queen's body and said: "Today, the girl broke into the Siyun Palace, and the emperor didn't punish her during the day, and the old slave was still thinking, I don't know how much good luck the girl had, but I never thought that at night, the emperor woke up from drinking, and called the girl to the imperial study to kneel. ”
The queen raised her hand, and the grandmother was unbuttoning the buckle and waist seal on her dress.
She listened expressionlessly, but her heart was thinking.
Emperor Ji Wu did not kill the girl of the Ran family on the spot, but at this time, what was the intention of punishing him to kneel in the imperial study?
The queen turned to look at one of the palace maids in the dormitory, "Go and call the girl." ”
The palace maid was ordered to leave with her body.
The waist seal has been unsealed, the last buckle on the dress has been undone, the queen's raised hand has also been put down, and the grandmother is taking off the dress for her.
At this time, the palace maid who had just come out of the dormitory came to report in a panic, "Back to the mother, slave, slave maid, slave maid did not find Sister Juan'er." ”
In an instant, the queen frowned, and a bad premonition hit her heart, and her hanging hand subconsciously clenched into a fist.
"Mama Zhang, quick, help me put on my clothes, comb my makeup for me, and tell the small kitchen to prepare a bowl of soothing soup, I want to go to the imperial study."
The queen's nervous emotions were also passed on to Mama Zhang.
Mama Zhang, who was changing the queen's clothes, stiffened her hands, and said after a while: "Okay, the old slave will dress the mother." ”
Mama Zhang methodically dressed, groomed, pulled her hair, and put on makeup for the queen, and her hands and feet were numb.
The queen, who was dressed in brocade clothes and gorgeous clothes, painted exquisite makeup, and took Mama Zhang, who was holding the soothing soup, to the imperial study.
When the queen and Mama Zhang went to the imperial study with the soothing soup, Gu Ziyi had already arrived at the imperial study.
When he came, Xianchen was mixed with joy and sorrow.
She liked it because Gu Ziyi had her in his heart, and when something happened to her, he didn't leave her alone.
She was worried because Gu Ziyi's injury had only cracked once today, and she didn't want him to be injured again for her.
"Why are you here?" Xianchen asked worriedly.
"Silly girl, you're here, can I not come?"
Gu Ziyi's bony hand gently rubbed Xian Chen's head, giving Xian Chen a gentle touch.
Then, he smiled at Xianchen again and dropped a sentence, "Don't be afraid, I'm here." With his hands in his hand, Long Xinghu stepped into the imperial study.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." "It's like a needle that fixes the sea, and it stabilizes the mind of Xianchen steadily.
This sentence is more like the warm sun in winter, warming into the heart of Xianchen.
Gu Ziyi arrived in front of Emperor Ji Wu's book case and waved his hand, "Father, what did Xianchen do?" Why did her father punish her? ”
Emperor Ji Wu raised his eyebrows, but he didn't raise his eyes, his eyes still fell on the fold in his hand.
"Go and kneel, too." Emperor Ji Wudi's faint words, but they contained majesty and were unquestionable.
"Me?" Gu Ziyi asked in surprise.
Emperor Ji Wu didn't pay attention to him anymore, and looked at the folds by himself, and the person in front of the table was transparent.
Gu Ziyi also knew that his father would not say another word to him at this moment, and if he came, he would be safe, so he didn't say a word, went out of the imperial study, and found a place beside Xianchen and knelt down.
Being able to kneel with his beloved girl is also happy for Gu Ziyi.
Today, if he can't exonerate her, then accompany her to be punished, protect her, and accompany her.
Gu Ziyi took Xian Chen's hand, crossed her hand between his fingers, and the two of them interlocked their fingers and held each other tightly.
The two looked at each other, and Gu Ziyi smiled softly at Xian Chen.
His smile was beautiful, and his toothy mouth was crooked like a crescent moon in the sky.
Tonight, the sky was as black as satin, and as far as the eye could see, it was smeared with sparkling diamonds, but there was no trace of the moon.
Xu was stolen by Gu Ziyi and hung on his face.
The crescent moon smile on Gu Ziyi's lips was dazzling, making the stars in the sky lose their brilliance and make people miss it.
At this moment, the queen's phoenix drove to the imperial study.
The palace man guarding the door outside the imperial study shouted: "The queen has arrived." ”
When the queen came, Xianchen shyly wanted to withdraw her hand, but Gu Ziyi still held her hand tightly.
Xianchen's strength couldn't compare to Gu Ziyi, and if she couldn't pull it back, she could only give up.
The queen wore a bright and yellow Shu silk brocade and embroidered peony dress tonight, dignified and luxurious, combed a peony bun, and put a phoenix peony on her head in golden strides.
The phoenix and peony flowers on the step shake are embedded with mutton fat jade and South China Sea pearls.
Her thin lips were lightly dyed, her eyebrows were lightly painted, and she was carried by Mama Zhang into the courtyard gate of the imperial study.
When the queen stepped into the gate of the courtyard, she saw two people holding hands at a glance, but she pretended not to see anything, and walked towards the imperial study with a dignified gait.
"Mother, please stay." Gonggong Li respectfully and politely blocked in front of the queen.
It's him again, it's this nasty Li Fuhai again, this nasty dead eunuch, a nameless firework burns in the queen's heart.
In her life, I don't know how many times she has been stopped by this dead eunuch, and his sentence "Niangniang, please stay." Her ears were calloused.
But what if she is angry, this dead eunuch is a popular person next to Emperor Ji Wu, and she can't bear it!
The queen squeezed out a smile, "Gonggong Li, it's late at night, there is a hunting competition tomorrow, you have to persuade the emperor to rest early, the palace has prepared a bowl of soothing soup for the emperor, and the palace will serve it to His Majesty and leave." ”
"Since she is here, let her kneel with them."
A voice came from the imperial study, the voice was unhurried, and a little careless, but there was a compelling momentum.
Tinchen couldn't believe his ears.
Emperor Ji Wu punished Gu Ziyi to kneel with her, she could still figure it out, after all, Gu Ziyi was here to intercede for herself.
But why did Emperor Ji Wu punish the queen?
This queen is here to bring him soup!
After hearing this, the queen's body stiffened, her face turned pale, and the hand that was about to take the soup from Mama Zhang's hand also froze in place.
She was stunned for a moment, unbelievable that Emperor Ji Wu would treat her like this.
She is a queen, kneeling outside the door of the imperial study with the juniors, which is a great shame for her, and Queen Su is so angry that her body is trembling.
"Niangniang, since you're here, kneel." Gonggong Li said respectfully.
"Father-in-law Li, my mother-in-law is here to deliver soothing soup to the emperor, why does she have to kneel?" Mama Zhang spoke for Queen Su.
"The emperor's decision, how can you and I question it?" Gonggong Li said with a calm face.
The queen was unwilling, she herself believed Mama Zhang's words, forgetting the real purpose of her coming at the moment, she was just here to deliver a bowl of soup, what was wrong with her, why did she kneel?
Seeing that the queen stood there for a long time without moving, Gonggong Li was polite and respectful, but said without a trace of human affection: "This is the emperor's imperial decree, Niangniang should kneel." ”
Gonggong Li's words brought Queen Su back to reality.
This was not twenty years ago.
Twenty years ago, the Su family was still a big family that Emperor Ji Wu did not dare to shake, and Emperor Ji Wu not only did not dare to treat her like this, but also treated her with courtesy.
Twenty years of time have worn out the power of the Su family like flowing water, and also smoothed out her edges and corners.
The queen knelt with tears, kneeling grievances, kneeling unwillingly, kneeling so that Mama Zhang couldn't bear it, and old tears flowed.
At this moment, a little palace maid in Yunhua Palace was probing her brain outside the courtyard of the imperial study.
Gonggong Li saw the little palace maid at a glance, waved the dust in his hand, and walked towards the gate of the courtyard.
"Little Cui girl, do you have something to do with coming to the imperial study?" Gonggong Li asked in a thin voice, his voice obviously carrying a bit of kindness.
It is precisely because the palace maid is a person in Yunhua Palace, for the sake of Concubine Yun's face, Gonggong Li is much kinder to the subordinates of Yunhua Palace.
Gonggong Li is called not looking at the face of the monk and looking at the face of the Buddha, who made Concubine Yun the person on the tip of Emperor Jiwu's heart?
The palace maid named Xiaocui girl, seeing that the queen mother was also punished by Emperor Ji Wu and kneeling, her mind was full of thoughts.
She knew that she was from Yunhua Palace, and Gonggong Li would not be harsh on herself, so she dared to ask: "Gonggong Li, what's wrong with the emperor today?" Why was even the queen punished together? ”
Gonggong Li can sit in the position of the chief eunuch, how can his brain be white? How could you not know that this girl wanted to hear some news from him?
