Chapter 596: The smell of gunpowder in the court

Li Qing rushed in almost the first time, looking at the panting and sweaty princess with a look of anticipation and nervousness: "Huan'er, how are you now?" ”

Seeing Liqing rushing in, Qin E subconsciously stretched out her hand to stop her, turned her head and said to Liqing: "Liqing, don't worry, mother and son are safe, it's a boy, you wait outside the door first, wait a minute, I'll let you see the eldest princess!" ”

Liqing was stopped by Qin E, although he was unwilling, but as soon as he heard that the eldest princess's mother and son were safe, he immediately put his mind at ease, and was pulled out of the door by Xiao Changxiu, standing and waiting in a proper manner.

"You, don't be too anxious, I told you just now, as long as E'er is here, it will be fine! Be patient for a while! I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry! ”

While talking, he gently patted Liqing on the shoulder, and handed Liqing a look, Liqing turned his head and glanced at Xiao Changxiu, and then nodded solemnly.

That's right, I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, I've been waiting outside the door for so long, is it still a moment away?

Li Qing said to himself silently in his heart, his hands were gently clenched into fists, and he kept thanking God in his heart.

Thank God, it's great that the mother and child are safe after all!

Xiao Le'er heard the news that the eldest princess's mother and son were safe, and the hanging heart was also put down, at least now she can finally give the emperor an explanation!

All along, the emperor's favorite is his precious sister, no matter what the eldest princess asks, the emperor will almost leave no room to meet it. At this time, the emperor was busy dealing with government affairs, and he really couldn't take a break, but he didn't forget to ask Xiao Leer to come over and take a look, saying that only Xiao Leer was accompanied, and he could rest easy at the moment!

"Hong'er, you find someone to bring a message to the emperor, just say that the eldest princess has given birth smoothly, it is a boy, and the mother and child are safe, so that the emperor can rest assured!"

"Yes, Queen."

Hong'er immediately responded "yes", and then quickly went to find someone to pass the word.

Congratulations, the eldest princess gave birth to another boy for their Celestial Empire, which is indeed a good thing for everyone!

The emperor, who was busy on the side, heard the good news, and couldn't help but feel happy, with relief and joy written all over his face.

"Okay, that's great, when I'm done here, I'll go see her right away!"

The emperor said, the face that was still worried just now, at this moment, a rare smile, the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty heard that the eldest princess gave birth to a baby boy successfully, and they all saluted in unison to congratulate the emperor.

"Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the eldest princess, the Celestial Empire has added a new bloodline, and I believe that it will become more and more prosperous in the future!"

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty also sincerely blessed them, and their faces were full of smiles, and for a while, there was a little more warmth and harmony in the court.

But I don't know who it is, and suddenly a discordant voice came out at this time.

"That's right, now even this eldest princess has successfully given birth to a prince, but the queen mother is ...... now"

The voice that wanted to speak and stopped was just right, although I didn't finish the next words, but everyone here is not stupid, of course I know what the second half of this unfinished sentence means!

It was precisely because of such a sentence that the emperor, who was still full of joy, was completely gloomy at this time!

Full of black lines, displeasure is written, a cold and cold face, without saying a word, the cold and thin lips are tightly pursed, the more when he is not speaking, the more he looks high-spirited, and there is an aura of not being angry and arrogant.

Everyone looked at each other, just now everyone was congratulating Liqing in a lively manner, while saying congratulations, although I don't know who this is, such a sentence suddenly popped up, but such a sentence just right to pour cold water on the words did begin to make many people start to speculate.

"Your Majesty, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty are indeed very worried about your heirs...... Now, everyone in the whole world knows that the emperor only loves the queen mother, but since ancient times, there has been no emperor who does not accept concubines, and in addition, since the queen mother and the emperor got married, there has been no movement for so long, the emperor, the minister thinks, now is also the time to expand the harem, for the royal family and my heavenly dynasty to spread the branches! ”

"Yes, what Lord Zhang said is not unreasonable, Your Majesty, you and the queen are more affectionate than Jin, which is obvious to everyone. However, the queen is virtuous and virtuous, so she shouldn't even give the emperor the freedom to expand the harem, right? ”

"What this says is extremely true, Your Majesty, the current royal family is cold, I'm afraid it is not conducive to the development of my Celestial Empire!"

All of a sudden, everyone's attention fell on the emperor and queen.

It is true that it is easy for the emperor to reject these remarks, but once such a thing is opened, I am afraid that the next time it will be even more out of control!

Repeated shirks are certainly not the best solution!

The emperor coughed lightly, and a trace of displeasure appeared on his face: "Ladies and gentlemen, I understand what you mean!" It's not that I haven't thought about it before, but I personally promised the queen that I will only love her in this life and this life! After all, I am the emperor, and I can't joke with my words! ”

"The relationship between the emperor and the queen is really the envy of the ministers! However, if it is only because of this harem that the emperor and the queen mother have been affected, it seems that the relationship between the emperor and the queen mother is not as strong as we imagined......"

I don't know who it is, but when I dared to say this, the emperor's already suppressed anger suddenly frowned even more tightly and didn't say a word, but the impatience on his face was already on the verge of exploding.

The people who were still discussing in a lively and intense manner just now also smelled the strong smell of gunpowder in the air, and they were swelling up more and more, and they all glanced at the emperor with some worry and nervousness, and didn't dare to say anything more. I'm afraid that if I'm not careful, I will become the last fuse that ignites the gunpowder!

Everyone knows that the emperor has always been a reasonable and wise gentleman, but he also says the same, especially in the matter of treating the queen's mother, there is absolutely no room for negotiation!

All the civil and military officials lowered their heads one after another, not daring to make any more noise, and under the entire court, even the sound of a needle falling on the ground could be heard clearly.

Everyone held their breath and secretly sweated!
