128. Give up the crown prince

So the dancing girl withdrew, and the music began again.

The girl was obviously prepared, and after a few moments she changed into a light gauze dance dress and spun on stage.

Everyone knows what it means to take the initiative to dance on such occasions.

So the ministers and ladies looked at it very seriously, whether they liked it or not.

Only Lou Que looked like he didn't care about himself, and he just explained the name, raw materials, and allusions of each dish to Zheng Xian'er softly, and even explained the meaning of the patterns and plates on the table and the patterns of the plate very clearly.

After a dance, the hall applauded endlessly, but Lou Que and Zheng Xian'er didn't even raise their heads.

The dancing woman stepped down in shame, not even the emperor's reward to make her smile.

The young ladies of the temple would not sympathize with this situation, they would only think that the girl was not good enough.

So immediately afterwards, someone came on stage to perform a song, and after a while, someone chanted a poem to cheer up, and even someone performed the stunt of writing two different fonts with both hands at the same time.

After Xing Wanshu came to the stage to perform a Hu Xuan dance, the queen finally couldn't help but speak: "Que'er, what do you think?" ”

Lou Que raised his head, looking dazed.

So the queen's face was a little unbearable.

The little eunuch was busy behind Lou Que and reminded: "Niangniang is asking Your Highness how Miss Xing Qi's dance is doing." ”

"That's right." Lou Que came to his senses, and then slowly stood up: "The queen mother forgives her sins, and the sons and daughters just didn't see it." ”

In fact, he didn't even know that Miss Xing Qi had been on stage just now.

The queen was full of annoyance, but she had to maintain the dignity and gentleness of the mother of a country: "The girls of the family practice the piano and dance, and they all work hard. If you don't even look at it, won't people be sad? ”

Lou Que bowed his head slightly, and his attitude was humble: "The queen mother has learned a lesson, and the son has written it down." ”

said that he had written it down, but he still did his own thing in action.

When Lou Que sat down, Zheng Xian'er muttered softly: "If you're afraid of being sad, don't go on stage!" They don't give us money, why do we have to watch when they come to the stage? ”

Lou Que followed her words and said, "That's right. We haven't complained about them interrupting our conversation! ”

While talking, two more girls came on stage to perform, and the final ending was also disappointed.

So the girls who were competing to perform finally stopped.

The queen had no choice but to call the dancing girl to the stage again.

Fortunately, at this moment, the wine has passed the third round, and everyone is a little drunk, so they don't feel embarrassed.

The queen looked at Lou Que, who did not look up the whole time except for toasting, and felt more and more annoyed and uneasy in her heart.

But the dignity of being the queen did not allow her to be resisted by Lou Que for the second time, so after a little thought, she turned her eyes to the emperor again, smiling: "Looking at these young girls one by one, I know that we are indeed old." ”

"yes, old." The emperor agreed reluctantly.

The queen didn't care, she still smiled: "People are getting older, and they already feel a little noisy when they look at these sounds and sensual entertainment, but they are looking forward to the family fun of their children and grandchildren around their knees more and more - Your Majesty, Que Er's age is not too young, and his marriage must be decided as soon as possible!" ”

The Emperor frowned and gave a noncommittal "um".

So the queen deliberately raised her voice and said with a smile: "The Zheng family has been following the prince for a long time, and she is pregnant, so she should have decided her status earlier-how about giving her a side concubine?" ”

The emperor's face sank suddenly, and he asked in a deep voice for a long time, "Who is the 'Zheng family'?" ”

The queen was stunned for a moment, and the smile on her face was a little stiff: "The concubine is ...... Huaiyang Junjun. ”

After a long while, the emperor snorted coldly: "If the monarch of Huaiyang County is a side concubine, who can still be a concubine?" Has the queen ever heard of a prince in his family who has a suitable lord of age? ”

Since he asked, of course he didn't.

The queen's face became more and more ugly: "What does the emperor mean, do you want Huaiyang Junjun to be the crown prince and concubine?" But their affairs are not good after all, and she is married for the second time......"

"Then put it on hold!" The Emperor interrupted her irritably.

The queen's face changed suddenly, and the gold armor on her fingers "clanged" against the wine bowl, and the sound shook her and she couldn't help but shudder.

The ministers and ladies in the palace looked at each other, and no one dared to intervene at this time.

I don't know how long it took, the queen finally woke up, and her voice was dry: "The prince's marriage is very important, how can it be put on hold?" ”

At this time, Mrs. Lou suddenly left the table and knelt down: "The emperor, the queen's mother, Huaiyang Junjun did marry into the Lou family as a third-room daughter-in-law, but when she got married, the third son of the courtier had passed away for two years; And Huaiyang Junjun did not succeed any heirs to his knees after entering the door, so he ...... In fact, it can't be regarded as a second marriage. ”

Her words were unpretentious, but the meaning was clear.

She was speaking for Zheng Xian'er.

Ning Jinxiu looked at her in amazement, and secretly hated in her heart: This old thing in the twilight of the dynasty! As soon as she saw that woman had sealed the county, she immediately forgot her previous face, and hurriedly ran over and knelt down to lick it, right!

It's disgusting!

Annoyed, Ning Jinxiu glanced at her grandmother from afar across the table.

Old Madam Ning also got up hurriedly and knelt down tremblingly: "Your Majesty, the queen, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the monarch of Huaiyang County have a deep and righteous relationship, and the world knows it. At this time, the life experience of the county monarch is clear, and it is a good time to correct his name! A lover eventually becomes a family, this is a good story that the people of the world like to see! ”

As soon as these words came out, many ladies nodded their heads again and again, but the faces of the emperor and the empress became ugly at the same time.

Ning Jinxiu was so angry that she almost cried, and couldn't help but stomp her feet and shout: "Grandmother! ”

Old Madam Ning ignored her angry granddaughter. She raised her head and added: "Dealing with the world, starting well and ending well is the right way!" ”

This time, as soon as her words fell, Princess Qingning, who was sitting opposite the building, couldn't help but sneer: "Start and finish? Isn't it embarrassing enough to lose face? first rape and then marry, the royal face was lost by the two of them! ”

"Qingning, don't talk too much!" Concubine Li was so frightened that her face turned pale.

The emperor's face softened a little because of Princess Qingning's words.

He coughed and said slowly: "The prince's marriage cannot be put on hold, but the matter of the prince of Huaiyang cannot be urgent. Queen, today it is up to you to choose a concubine and a side concubine for the prince, as for how to settle the prince of Huaiyang, wait for the child in her womb to be born! ”

The queen stared at Zheng Xian'er for a long time, and finally nodded slowly: "That's fine." Zheng ...... Huaiyang Junjun is pregnant now, and it is indeed inconvenient to serve the prince, so living in peace and raising a baby is the best choice at the moment. ”

Zheng Xian'er, who was immersed in hard work, immediately sat up straight when she heard this, and said, "I'm very convenient!" ”

Lou Que almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

The queen immediately darkened her face and almost shouted the words "shameless".

But she still held back in the end, and only commanded a palace maid beside her with a straight face: "Tinglan, from today on, you are the person of Huaiyang Junjun." Go back and ask the Inner Court Division to help you pick a few pleasing girls to bring over, and serve the county monarch well. ”

The palace maid hurriedly agreed, and understood.

Zheng Xian'er hooked the corners of her lips, lowered her head and smiled: "Tongjie, let's make a bet now, okay?" Just bet on how I'm going to die - I think postpartum hemorrhage is the best option, what do you think? ”

Lou Que didn't answer, clenched her hand and stood up: "Father, mother." ”

The queen immediately said with a calm face: "If you want to seek the position of concubine for the Zheng family, don't open your mouth at all!" The crown prince and concubine, not just anyone can be anything! Although Zheng is the daughter of the county lord of Anping, her father's identity is a lowly luthier, which is a royal shame! Isn't eloping with someone the county lord eloping? Isn't the illegitimate daughter of the county lord and someone an illegitimate daughter? What's more, Zheng's own misconduct is also obvious to all, and giving her the title of a side concubine is already a ......"

"Shut up!" The emperor angrily slapped the armrest and interrupted the empress anxiously.

The king's gaffe succeeded in making the queen's face even more ugly.

The emperor frowned and looked at Lou Que: "You settle down first, now is not the time for you to fight for her fame!" ”

Lou Que immediately asked: "Now is not the time, when is the time?" ”

The emperor's face sank, and he stared at Zheng Xian'er for a long time without speaking.

Lou Que smiled mockingly, and led Zheng Xian'er to stand in front of the emperor and queen: "Erchen doesn't plan to fight for Xian'er's name. The sons only ask for permission from their father and queen mother - the matter of electing the crown princess will be stopped! ”

"How's that going to work?!" The queen was the first to be unhappy.

The emperor also disagreed: "The election of the crown princess is a major matter of the country, how can you be willful and mess around!" ”

"Father," Lou Que knelt down, "Erchen has been at peace with his life and has never asked for anything for himself. Only this time, Erchen is determined to be willful to the end! ”

"What does it mean to be 'willful to the end'?" The Emperor slowly stood up, and the majesty of the Emperor was on full display.

Lou Que raised his head and smiled: "One life, one couple." ”

"Ridiculous!" The Emperor slammed the wine cup in his hand.

The Chinese military officials and female relatives of the palace all knelt down, and the innocent dancers were even more frightened and trembling, and they didn't know where to shrink.

Zheng Xian'er hesitated for a moment, knelt down beside Lou Que, leaned into his ear and whispered, "Are you crazy?" ”

"Shut up!" Lou Que smiled, his face a little ugly.

Zheng Xian'er twisted his arm angrily: "Don't play these scary games, okay?" Annoyed the emperor and wanted to be beheaded! Isn't it just to marry a main concubine and a side concubine, you can just marry! And don't suffer ......"

Lou Que glared at her, don't look away and refuse to look at her.

The queen also knelt down at some point, and said urgently at the emperor's feet: "The emperor is angry, Que Er is confused for a while - it must be the demon girl of the Zheng family who confused him!" Your Majesty, the concubines asked for severe punishment for the Zheng demon's evils! ”

Zheng Xian'er felt that she was very wronged.

She really didn't confuse Lou Que about anything! She even supported him to marry a few beautiful and smart girls to go home, and the whole family was lively and happy!

The emperor waved his sleeves and threw the queen aside, and asked Lou Que sharply: "What if I am not allowed?" ”

"Father is generous, I will definitely agree." Lou Que looked calm.

The emperor sneered, and the expression on his face was not at all related to "generosity", and even faintly gloomy.

The father and son were so deadlocked in front of more than 100 people in the hall.

The hall was silent, and the kneeling ladies could even hear the breathing of others around them.

After a long time, the emperor gritted his teeth and said: "The prince of Huaiyang County cannot be established as the crown princess. ”

Lou Que immediately continued: "The minister there will not marry the crown princess for the rest of his life." ”

The Emperor closed his eyes and sighed, "It's too early to say this. You first admit two side concubines into the door, and then make plans after Huaiyang Junjun gives birth to a child. ”

Lou Que smiled again when he heard this: "Father, the son will not marry someone else." ”

The queen was almost fainted by him: "Que'er, you are now the crown prince, and you are burdened with the responsibility of the world, not the time when you could act recklessly in the past!" What you will have to carry in the future is a heavy burden, your harem, your heirs, and the world is related! ”

"That's it!" The emperor shouted coldly, "If you are so willful, how can you look like a prince!" Today I give you two choices: give up the prince of Huaiyang, or give up the position of prince! ”

Lou Que's face did not change, and he still did not hesitate at all: "Thank you for your father's leniency, and his son chose to give up the position of prince." ”

"You?!" The Emperor was stunned.

Lou Que clenched Zheng Xian'er's hand and smiled calmly: "Even if the world is in hand, it is not interesting to be accompanied by no confidant by your side." There are thousands of women in the world who are better than her, but none of them can replace herβ€”my father understands. ”

Empress Huo Ran stood up and shouted to the guards next to the throne: "The Great Zhou Jiangshan can't die at the hands of a woman, so don't take down this demon girl who bewitches the prince quickly!" ”

The guards did their duty, and immediately rushed towards Zheng Xian'er after receiving the order.

"Who dare!" Lou Que Huoran stood up.

"Are you going to rebel!" The queen was so angry that her face was hideous, like a madwoman.

Lou Que said coldly: "It's not that the sons want to rebel, but the queen mother is forcing people too much!" This matter is all the opinion of the son, and it has nothing to do with Xian'er, the queen mother wants to arrest people, and the sons should also be arrested! ”

The queen calmed her face and exhaled deeply: "Que'er, now it is this demon girl who has confused you, so the queen mother is saving you!" If you think about the rumors of the county lord of Anping back then, you should know the trick! Back then, the county lord of Anping confused almost all the children of the noble family in the capital, including the royal family - now her daughter naturally has the same ability to confuse you! ”

"Ridiculous!" It was not Lou Que who opened his mouth to reprimand, but the emperor.

The queen hesitated for a moment, her expression was still firm: "The emperor may not like to hear this kind of talk, but it is the case - the world of the Great Zhou Dynasty cannot be buried in the hands of women!" ”

When the guards received her hint, they still pounced on Zheng Xian'er.

Although Lou Que tried his best to defend him, in the end, his two fists were invincible to his four hands, and he couldn't really draw his sword and kill people in front of the emperor. So in the blink of an eye, someone grabbed Zheng Xian'er's wrist and dragged her up from the ground.

The emperor subconsciously took a step forward, and then paused again, his expression a little hesitant.

At this time, Zheng Xian'er had been dragged and staggered a few steps, so anxious that she shouted at the top of her voice: "Are you unreasonable? Persimmon can only pick soft pinching, it looks full of momentum, in fact, he doesn't even care about his own son, and he is embarrassed to be the emperor and queen! Lou Que himself is stupid, even if you kill me, there will still be other women to confuse him in the future......"

"Xian'er!" Lou Que was a little helpless.

What is this scolding? Afraid you'll not die fast enough?

The queen was so angry that she almost passed out.

But there was no anger on the emperor's face. He looked at Zheng Xian'er with interest, not knowing what he was thinking.

The guards knew that Zheng Xian'er's stomach was valuable, and they didn't dare to treat her too roughly, so they couldn't drag her out for a long time.

Lou Que didn't look very anxious, and he didn't know what he was waiting for.

Zheng Xian'er was really angry. Especially when she saw the interested expression on the emperor's face, she somehow felt angry, so she broke free of one hand without thinking, tore off the jade pendant hanging from her waist, and threw it at the emperor's face: "What a bluff royal, what a messy rule!" I'm not too old to pay attention to you! Death is death, do you think I'm afraid of death......"

The emperor saw something flying towards his face, and his face turned pale in an instant: "Assassin! ”

Before his words fell, the eunuch Zhang Ping had already rushed over at a speed invisible to the naked eye, catching the white shining and terrifying hidden weapon for him.

Then, everyone in the hall was shocked to see that Zhang Ping's face was full of panic, "Knock! He fell to his knees.

The civil and military officials were all stunned.

What kind of secret weapon scared the most calm eunuch around the emperor like this?

Huaiyang Junjun dared to openly assassinate the emperor!

In this way, the crime of this "demon girl" can be regarded as confirmed!

The civil and military officials who were forced to watch an annual drama were eager to paste the words "I haven't been here" on their foreheads.

At this time, the emperor finally came back to his senses and looked at Zhang Ping in shock: "What is the secret weapon?" ”

"Yes...... It's Dingguo Jade! Zhang Ping was so frightened that he stammered, and his originally shrill voice was even more dry at the moment, which made people's ears and eyes hurt.

"Dingguo Jade?!" The emperor's face changed drastically.

This roar came out, and all the civil and military officials looked up in amazement.

Dingguo Jade!

Legend has it that hundreds of years ago, the last king of the previous dynasty was mediocre, and the righteous army of the world swarmed, and the Taizu of this dynasty also raised the banner of righteousness in the south of the Yangtze River and participated in the bloody battle of the deer.

After more than 20 years of fighting in the south and the north, Grandpa Tai and another team approached the capital almost at the same time, and won or lost in this battle.

At that time, the enemy led more than 400,000 troops, and the troops that could be used by Taizu's side were less than 200,000, and a part of them had to be assigned to hold the rear to prevent the remnants of the imperial court from taking advantage of the weakness.

Originally, it was almost a certain defeat, but the night before the war, Taizu saw a god in a dream and said to him: "The calamity is over, and the right path will be prosperous." Now you are ordered to rule the world, you must think of the common people in the world, and do not act recklessly! ”

Taizu woke up from a dream, and was at a loss, but found that there was an extra thing in his hand, like jade and not jade, I don't know what material it is, there are some zigzag symbols on it, and I can't recognize what it is.

Taizu summoned the advisors overnight to discuss, but one of them immediately bowed down when he saw this thing, saying "Long live".

According to the man, the god man he saw in Taizu's dream was the rumored ancient god Xihuang, and although he didn't know what material he received, these symbols were faintly gathered into the word "stability", which was clearly a token of Taizu's rule over the world.

Taizu was suspicious, but when the next day of the battle, the generals were really like bamboos, and they easily beat the opponent's 400,000 troops to the point of losing their armor and fleeing.

After that, Taizu led the army into the city, ascended the throne and set the world of the Great Zhou, and called the strange thing obtained in this dream "Dingguo Jade", tied it and wore it on his body, and set it as a token inherited by the kings of the past dynasties.

If there is no Dingguo jade, even if there is an edict to inherit the throne and get the imperial jade seal, it cannot be regarded as the emperor of the Great Zhou.

Twenty years ago, the puppet emperor did not get the Dingguo jade after killing the monarch and stealing the country, so although there is an edict as evidence, most people are still reluctant to admit that he is the emperor. Since then, the clan relatives have been infighting, hundreds of officials have been centrifuged, and gradually civil strife has been frequent, and the country has gradually declined.

Although public opinion helped the current emperor overthrow the puppet emperor, Dingguoyu never appeared again, so the hundreds of officials in the court and the wise men of the people still couldn't help muttering in their hearts: Dingguoyu refuses to show up, could it be that the Great Zhou Qi has been exhausted?

As long as Dingguo Yu does not appear, no matter how well the current emperor governs the world, it will be difficult to soothe this layer of anxiety in the hearts of the people of the world, so it is inevitable that there will be small people who plot against each other and covet this thousands of miles of country!

No one expected that today, in such a strange scene, Dingguo Jade, which had disappeared for twenty years, would appear!

The emperor and the ministers were a little dazed, and they didn't know what was going on today.

Zhang Ping held the jade pendant in both hands, held it in front of the emperor, and burst into tears with excitement: "Your Majesty, Dingguo Jade is reborn, and the world is ...... It's okay! ”

The emperor took it with both hands, held it in his palm and looked at it dozens of times, and his eyes were red with excitement: "It's Dingguo Jade, it's Dingguo Jade!" ”

When the ministers heard this, they hurriedly put aside other worries and congratulated in unison: "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor!" ”

The emperor laughed: "Haha, you shouldn't congratulate me, you should congratulate the prosperity of the Great Zhou Dynasty!" ”

So the ministers knelt down three times and kowtowed, and congratulated the "prosperity of the country" again.

After the joy, the emperor finally remembered Zheng Xian'er again, and his face became serious: "Where did you get this Dingguo Jade?!" ”

When the ministers heard this, they couldn't help but secretly suspect it.

Could it be that the county lord of Anping brought it out of the palace back then?

But at that time, the puppet emperor had been stealing the country for several months, if Dingguo Yu was still in the palace, how could he not find it?

The emperor knows more than others, and directly ruled out this possibility: the county lord of Anping faked his death and left the palace, and he had to be stripped and washed by the palace people and changed into a shroud before the coffin was put on - where is the opportunity to steal something!

The stakes are very high, and everyone in the hall is waiting for Zheng Xian'er's answer.

Zheng Xian'er looked at Lou Que blankly.

Dingguo jade? What is Dingguo Jade? She doesn't know!

The emperor followed her gaze, and his face immediately turned cold: "Que'er, Dingguo jade is related to my dynasty and country, how can you give it to a woman at will!" I have high hopes for you, and that's how you repay me! ”
