Chapter 240: Reward
"It's okay, they're all children, besides, it's not a palace banquet today, so there's nothing wrong with being comfortable."
Mu Wanshu had a smile on her face, but it was faint.
Although it was not a serious court banquet, the queen also prepared a lot for it.
Wen Qingqian's quarrel with Qu Miaoling just now has attracted many people's attention.
Where is she, the queen's face, still put.
However, it is still this Wang who understands the rules and knows how to ask for guilt.
It's not like Qu Miaoling's cheap hoof, like her mother who is used to seducing men, and she doesn't know the rules and etiquette.
At this time, the emperor also came.
The queen hurriedly lowered her body and wanted to salute the emperor, but was called by the emperor.
"I came rashly, hoping not to disturb your Yaxing." Over the years, only women's families have participated in the chrysanthemum banquet, and today's emperor is very abnormal, Mu Wanshu silently kept an eye.
The rich ladies below hurriedly replied: "Don't bother, it's an honor for the emperor to come." ”
Situ laughed loudly, and the eunuchs in the palace were very colorful, so they hurriedly moved the seats over and invited the emperor to take a seat.
"What's going on? Why kneel here? "The emperor saw that Wen Qingqian and Mrs. Wang were kneeling here, as if they had done something wrong.
He asked casually.
"Back to Your Majesty, Miss Wen had a quarrel with the Lord of Miaoling just now, and the Wang family brought her daughter to accuse."
"Spat at the bell? What's the matter? ”
The emperor asked, but Mu Wanshu didn't dare to hide it, so she had to tell it out.
After listening, the emperor's brows tightened, and he looked at Wen Qingqian and said, "You are Prime Minister Wen's eldest daughter?" ’
was named, Wen Qingqian was secretly happy in his heart, and hurriedly said: "The courtier is Wen Qingqian." ’
"I didn't expect Wen Xiang to be such a clever and exquisite, and he would give birth to such an ignorant person as you."
Wen Qingqian's body was almost lying on the ground, and when she heard this, her tense shoulders trembled, and beads of sweat were drawn on her face.
Your Majesty, this is-
Angry?
The queen hurriedly stood up in fear, "Your Majesty, this matter is that the concubines have not handled it well, and I ask the emperor to forgive me." ”
The emperor suddenly laughed, "Empress, what are you guilty of?" ”
Mu Wanshu was stunned by one sentence.
What does this mean, Emperor?
"I said casually, you guys are scared like this, am I terrible?"
The audience was silent, and no one said anything.
How should they answer the emperor's question?
The queen's smiling face froze, and she frantically sorted out the words in her heart.
"Okay, okay, isn't it just that there was a small quarrel between the girl's family, let them solve it themselves."
With a wave of his sleeves, the emperor put this matter down.
Wen Qingqian breathed a sigh of relief, but a trace of regret flashed in Wang's heart, she should have said a few more words just now, so that Wen Qingqian could be convicted, so that she could be regarded as avenging her poor daughter.
When Wang slowly stood up, his face was full of chagrin.
At this time, the banquet officially began, and on the side of the half-height prince, there were chrysanthemums, various styles, wild colors, and various varieties, which were carefully trimmed into patterns by the florists, and they looked beautiful.
Later, on this stage, there will be palace maids and people from the Si Le Fang who will come up to play and sing.
The women and ladies who sat in two rows enjoyed the scenery of the garden and the performances on stage, talking and laughing.
In fact, under the emperor's nose, who would dare to really laugh out loud?
Everyone drank reservedly, and for a while, there was no sound at the banquet.
Seeing that the scene stiffened, the emperor's eyebrows twisted unconsciously. The queen has been observing the emperor's face, and when she saw this, she hurriedly said.
"Miao Ling, I heard the conversation between you and Miss Wen just now, you are a good one."
praised Qu Miaoling in front of everyone, and also took Wen Qingqian out for comparison, and everyone didn't know how many little Jiujiu had been rowed over.
"Your Majesty, Fang Cai Miaoling is very good at every word, and he has the demeanor of the lord of Huiling County."
The queen's eyes swept away, and she saw that the emperor's eyebrows were relaxed.
Although she knew that the emperor was obsessed with the county lord of Huiling, at the critical moment, she also had to mention the county lord of Huiling to make the emperor feel comfortable.
She was disgusted in her heart, but she couldn't show it, and over time, her hatred for the Lord of Huiling skyrocketed to a terrible level.
But the county lord of Huiling is dead, and her resentment has nowhere to vent, so she can only pass it on to her biological daughter Qu Miaoling.
When she looked at Qu Miaoling, the corners of her mouth were hooked, but her eyes were cold.
Of course Qu Miaoling saw it, but she had to leave her seat and kneel in front of the emperor and the empress, "The queen mother praised it falsely, Miaoling is just talking about things, and she definitely doesn't have any ideas about anyone." ”
Wen Qingqian listened on the side, silently clenching his fists.
"You are a good one, the demeanor of the county lord of Huiling at the beginning, this palace was fortunate to see it, and you, as if a mold was carved out, it was all like that."
The queen's mouth was smeared with honey, but her voice was like a sharp sword, and it went straight to the tip of Qu Miaoling's heart.
She has already noticed that the queen has something to do with her mother's death, but today, the queen has repeatedly mentioned her mother, and she doesn't know what medicine is sold in the queen's stomach.
"Returning to the queen's mother, the posture of the courtier's daughter Pu Liu, where do you dare to compare with your mother."
The queen let out a "hey" and interrupted Qu Miaoling's words.
"Miao Ling, don't be humble, not only the palace, but the emperor must also think so, do you say it's the emperor?"
The queen looked at the emperor, and Situ Qingchu said directly: "Hui Ling's voice and smile I will never forget it for the rest of my life, you and your mother are really similar." ”
Whether it's appearance, personality, or tone of voice.
The emperor's eyes were glued to Qu Miaoling's body, and he almost couldn't move it.
"Your Majesty, today is a flower-viewing banquet, and the concubine invites you to come, I also want everyone to be happy, so in this way, the concubine will overstep the rules today, and make a fortune first."
"Aoyagi, you go and deliver the first big gift that the palace has prepared."
Aoyagi answered, and brought a box of things from the side.
Aoyagi opened it, and the inside was full of gold, which turned out to be half a box of East China Sea Dragon Balls and a Night Pearl from Persia.
Each one is priceless, but now?
The queen actually took out a box, and in the stall where everyone was in a trance, she said: "Miao Ling's entry into the palace is very much the appetite of the palace, this first color is called to Miao Ling." ”
The queen thought, and Aoyagi rushed to Qu Miaoling and walked over.
The smooth and bright night pearl was like a sharp arrow, piercing into Wen Qingqian's chest.
She almost ran out of breath.
Qu Miaoling raised her two hands high and received the queen's reward.
But at this moment, the emperor suddenly said: "I really got a good inkstone a few days ago, and I knew that Miao Ling liked to play and learn words, so I gave it to Miao Ling." ”
The emperor's inkstone, how valuable it must be, needless to say, the price must be priceless, but the most jealous thing is the emperor's mind.
Wen Qingqian's heart was bubbling with sourness, and he was about to be soaked in sour water.
Mu Wanshu's face stiffened, and she suddenly forgot her plan, she said: "Writing, Miao Ling is a girl's family after all, and it is too much to send an inkstone-"
The Empress of Yantai has also heard that it was presented by the Minister of Frontier when he entered Beijing two days ago, and the emperor loved it very much, almost unable to put it down.
Now that it has been sent out, how can she feel comfortable.
When the emperor heard this, he also felt that this was the reason, "Su Dexi, you go to my private treasury and bring the head of the pearl orchid jade." ”
"Your Majesty, you?" Su Dexi was stunned.
But Su Dexi was a shrewd minion, and he didn't show the shock in his heart.
Instead, he turned around and went to the emperor's private treasury.
When the queen mother heard this, her body shook even more, and she almost fell on the phoenix chair.
That Zhulan Baoyu, when she left, she was rewarded to the crown princess, could it be that the emperor wanted Qu Miaoling to be the crown princess?
I don't know if it's the queen, and everyone below is not a nerd, what does Zhulan Baoyu represent, they know it very well in their hearts.
Could it be that the emperor is announcing to the world that the throne will be passed on to the second prince?
Their minds were full of thoughts.
And the queen was relieved after a moment of fright, and the emperor rewarded Qu Miaoling with her head, doesn't that prove that she will be the future crown princess, and Situ Huaibo is not the future prince?
A touch of joy fell on her face, she had no children, for so many years, she had pressed all the treasures on Situ Huaibo, and now that she finally saw the results, how could she not be happy?
Even Qu Miaoling, whom she hated the most, was the crown princess, and she didn't feel any uncomfortable in her heart.
Everyone had their own thoughts, but Situ Huaibo was stunned, but his face was also full of joy.
Feeling the congratulatory gaze that everyone threw on him, as well as the resentment and jealousy of his brothers looking at him, Situ Huaibo felt more and more that Qu Miaoling was his lucky star.
It's a great lucky star!
He made up his mind to marry Qu Miaoling, and he really bet on the right treasure.
Under everyone's thoughts, the banquet was over, the emperor had already left, and the queen mother exchanged glances with Situ Huaibo after the emperor left, and also left.
Situ Huaibo was immediately positioned, and he was very polite in the face of everyone's congratulations, as if he didn't know how shocking the emperor's actions just now were.
Leaving the banquet with Qu Miaoling on his front and back feet, Situ Huaibo wanted to say a few words to Qu Miaoling alone.
The queen's people came over to the two and said, "His Royal Highness the Second Prince, His Royal Highness the County Lord, the queen is invited." ”
The two of them were sitting in Fengyi Palace, and the queen had already returned, looking like she was waiting for them.
The queen exempted them from the courtesy, and then said: "Huaibo, can you understand what the emperor meant just now?" ”
Situ Huaibo nodded.
"It's good if you understand, that Zhulan Baoyu has always been the crown princess, Miao Ling, since you have received the emperor's courtesy, you must be worthy of your identity in the future."
As for what identity, the queen didn't say it clearly.
"Today at the chrysanthemum banquet, Miao Ling, you shouldn't have a-for-tat confrontation with Wen Qingqian."
The queen sighed.
Qu Miaoling was in the limelight today, she was very unhappy in her heart, and she wanted to make her feel uncomfortable.
So, she had the idea of calling the two of them.
"Miao Ling knows that she is not doing things properly, and Miao Ling is willing to listen to the teachings of the queen mother."
The queen straightened her body, took out her mother's style and said: "Since you are willing to listen to Xu Xing, this palace will teach you well, as one of the most noble people in the world, you must not be provoked by others, and your emotions must be controlled, otherwise, something big will happen in the future." ”
Qu Miaoling nodded.
"What Niangniang said is that Miao Ling wrote it down."
"Well, if you know your mistakes, change them, and don't do them again next time."
The queen nodded with satisfaction, "Miao Ling, it's not early, I'll let you out." ”
She still had something to say to Situ Huaibo, who knew that he suddenly stood up, "Queen Mother, Erchen is still going to see off Miaoling." ”
The queen choked, but she couldn't change her face in front of the two of them, so she could only smirk.
"That's okay, Miao Ling, Huai Bo protects you so much, you have to seriously assist him in the future, don't let the queen mother down, you know?"
Qu Miaoling asked her head, but she didn't say a word.
He walked out of the main hall of Fengyi Palace.
Situ Huaibo hurriedly followed, and her answer just now made him very dissatisfied.
Why didn't she speak?
Could it be that she still has a grudge against him in her heart? Or is she determined to Situ or is she obsessed?
Situ Huaibo felt uncomfortable in his heart, he didn't know what was wrong with him, did he not just use Qu Miaoling from beginning to end?
He began to doubt his original intentions.
