Chapter 195: The Unexpected (Part II)

Imperial City Division.

Jiang Rin was about to enter the palace with Chen Rong's confession in his hand, but a person's voice came from outside: "Du Wei! ”

Jiang Rin turned around and saw Liang Chen coming over with a shocked face, "Captain, in the first battle of North Vietnam, Zhenbei General Chen Ji won a complete victory, at this time, the battle report must have arrived in front of the imperial ......."

Jiang Rin was stunned for a moment, and was a little distracted for a while, "The war in North Vietnam has been stalemate, why did it suddenly win the battle?" ”

"It is said that General Chen's soldiers made a dangerous move and caught the other party off guard, and our army lost less than half of the other party's soldiers, which can be described as a great achievement......"

Jiang Rin frowned, "I'm afraid today's matter won't be done." "Chen Ji has made great contributions, the emperor will never be too embarrassed by Empress Chen at this time, even if he and Xu Er do their best to reveal the truth of the year, it is the result of picking it up high and gently putting it down.

Liang Chen's face was full of confusion, "After such a long preparation, is it so in vain?" ”

Jiang Rin clenched the things in his hand, "Now is not the best time, not only can I not take down Queen Chen and the Chen family in one fell swoop, but I will also startle the snake." ”

………………

In Yuxiang Palace, Queen Chen thought of her younger brother Chen Ji, and she couldn't help but have some confidence.

Her maiden family is not a century-old prominent family, and there has never been any capable generals, the only one who can take the shot is her younger brother, whose talent in leading the troops is no less than that of the emperor's favorite general Song Yu, who is now the pillar of the Chen family.

Last time, Chen Ji won a great victory with Xuan Pinghou and Song Yu, and his ability to lead the troops was unanimously recognized by all the generals, and the emperor also greatly appreciated him, and appointed him as the general of Zhenbei, and he has been confronting the North Vietnamese army at the border pass.

Thinking of this, Empress Chen finally showed a smile at the corner of her mouth, and re-raised the queen's shelf, even if the second brother is not by her side now, he is her own brother after all, and he is a general who was born and died for Dajing! She didn't believe that the emperor would deal with her at this time!

"Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor, the victory in the war and the joy of the dragon son, it is really a double happiness!"

There was a moment of silence all around, all of which were calmed by this sudden news, and no one could have imagined such a turn. Qingruxu's eyes darkened, no wonder Jiang Rin has not moved until now, it turns out that something like this has happened......

It's a pity that such a good opportunity can't suppress Empress Chen in one fell swoop.

Qingru Xu looked at Concubine Hui, only to see her back stiff and trembling slightly, obviously suffering a big blow. If Empress Chen escapes this catastrophe today, then Concubine Hui will obviously not have a good time in the next few days, and Qing Ruxu herself will have to be more vigilant.

Emperor Zhaoren looked at Empress Chen, who was full of congratulations with a smile on her face, frowned almost invisibly, and then raised her hand to help: "Uncle Guo has made a great contribution, he should be rewarded!" ”

Empress Chen smiled, and her anger and apprehension disappeared in an instant.

Concubine Hui also hurriedly stepped forward to congratulate, and then said to herself: "It is a happy event for the concubine to find the child, but the baby girl ......"

Emperor Zhaoren wrapped his arms around her shoulders, helped her to sit down, his eyes fell on Empress Chen's body, Concubine Hui felt that her heart was beating fast, but after a while, Emperor Zhaoren didn't say anything, and Concubine Hui's heart was half cold.

Seeing this, the Queen Mother said: "Since the emperor has state affairs to do, let it be handed over to the mourning family here." ”

Emperor Zhaoren saluted the Queen Mother when he heard this: "The Queen Mother is hard. ”

The Queen Mother nodded and watched her son leave Yuxiang Palace.

No one expected such a change in today's events, Qing Ruxu pursed her lips tightly and looked at Empress Chen, and it happened that Empress Chen's gaze also fell on her, and the chill in it could simply freeze her three feet.

The Queen Mother's eyes swept back and forth in front of everyone, and she said in a deep voice: "Come on, escort a cadre of people to the palace of the mourning family, and the mourning family will be interrogated in person." ”

"Yes, Queen Mother."

When the palace maid beside the Queen Mother heard this, she immediately asked people to escort the relevant people out of Yuxiang Palace, including the newborn baby girl.

The Queen Mother looked at Concubine Hui and showed a kind smile: "Concubine Hui gave birth to a dragon son for the emperor, and she is also a meritorious person in my Dajing Dynasty, you can rest assured that the emperor will not treat you badly." ”

Concubine Hui is extremely obedient, "It is the blessing of the concubines to be able to give birth to children for the emperor, and the concubines dare not take credit for ......"

The Queen Mother smiled: "Okay, you just gave birth, how can you walk around at will, go back and rest quickly, so as not to fall ill." A few of you, you're all waiting for you. ”

"Yes." Suiyue and the others hurriedly responded when they heard this.

The Queen Mother glanced at Qing Ruxu and Leng Lingyu, and didn't care about their whereabouts, but only said to the queen: "Queen, you come with the mourning family." ”

Although Empress Chen understood that she would not be disposed of, she was also very restrained, and stepped forward to help the Queen Mother to go to the Longevity Palace together.

Everyone left before and after, Yuxiang Palace returned to calm again, Qing Ruxu and Concubine Hui glanced at each other, and both looked a little meaningful.

Concubine Hui didn't have much of the heart to play Tai Chi with Qing Ruxu, "Thank you two for saving my child today, this kindness will definitely be repaid in the future." ”

Qing Ruxu didn't say much, but said: "It's better for Niangniang to go back and rest first, don't catch the wind, and the courtiers will retire." ”

Back in the house, Jiang Rin was waiting for her.

"In the First War of North Vietnam, Chen Ji won a complete victory, and many courtiers wrote to commend him, and it seems that the connections accumulated by the Chen family over the years have worked. Many courtiers even suggested that the emperor lead hundreds of civil and military officials out of the city to greet them. ”

"In recent years, North Vietnam has been strong and strong, and its national strength has grown, and there has been constant friction with Dajing but it can only be a long-term confrontation, and the emperor has not thought of defeating North Vietnam in a short period of time. It is conceivable how much credit Chen Jishi has made. ”

Jiang Rin saw the deep worry in Qing Ruxu's eyes, and said with a smile: "What are you afraid of, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth." ”

Qing Ruxu glanced at Jiang Rin and said, "Empress Chen may take advantage of this momentum to step up her actions, I'm afraid you won't be able to hide your affairs." ”

Jiang Rin said: "Even if you know, I'm afraid that Queen Chen wants to hide it more than us." ”

Qing Ruxu frowned, "Empress Chen must be vigilant after this incident, and she will become more and more cautious in doing things, open guns are easy to dodge, and hidden arrows are difficult to prevent, you have to be careful." ”

Seeing that she was worried about herself, Jiang Rin looked at her with a smile, "Okay." ”

Qing Ruxu glanced at him obliquely, and gradually relaxed when she saw that he was sure of his words and was not too worried.

………………

Qing Ruchu's family affair with Lin Yi has been prepared, Xie is very concerned, and the dowry is not afraid of time and time is too late to prepare, so he directly used the dowry originally prepared for Qi Ayaxue, and after considering a few points, he added a lot. Qing Ruchu was very satisfied when she heard this, and her mood became better and better.

It's just that Qi Ayaxue's heart is not so comfortable, and it is rumored outside that she is sick Qing Ruchu. She pondered for a long time, and brought a lot of things to "visit" Qing Ruchu, in a vain attempt to eliminate some rumors outside and save some face.

The porter reported to the old lady, and the old lady didn't stop her, but she didn't see Qi Ayaxue, but she just asked people to take Qi Ayaxue directly to the courtyard of Qing Ruchu.

Qing Ruchu was giving a lecture to the newly selected maid for marriage, and when she heard that an uninvited guest had arrived, she raised her lips and laughed coldly. "Then invite the county lord in!"

Qi Ayuki was pointed at along the way, and she was already angry in her stomach, and no one took her seriously when she entered the Qing Mansion, which added a little annoyance, and even the old lady didn't see her!

She bit her heart and entered Du Ruoge, and saw Qing Ruchu looking at her with a smile, and she didn't even get up.

It's so deceitful!

As a loyal maidservant, of course Min Feng has to speak for his master: "Second girl, our master is the county lord anyway, you are too rude!" ”

Qing Ruchu turned her face and spat lightly, and said to herself: "Phew! What kind of thing that looks like a man and a dog comes to me? ”

"You! Who are you talking about?! ”

Qing Ruchu turned her face and glanced at Min Feng, and said to Qi Ayaxue: "Jumping up and down on other people's houses, this is the rule of the county bishop?" ”

Qi Ayaxue frowned: "Minfeng, shut up." ”

Min Feng glanced at Qing Ruchu angrily, shut up and took a step back.

Qing Ruchu smiled with satisfaction: "I don't know if the county lord came here today, what is there to discuss?" ”

Qi Ayaxue pinched her tone and said, "I heard that the second girl is seriously ill and difficult to recover, so I have to come and take a look anyway." ”

"Oh? I see, I thought that the county lord would not be able to make a plan and make a plan. Qing Ruchu smiled and said: "My illness is not due to the county lord?" The county lord is so scheming, which makes me admire. ”

This is simply a naked/naked mockery, Qi Ayaxue's face changed, but she didn't expect Qing Ruchu to not hide it for half a minute, and said the matter between the two of them so directly, looking at her mocking and cold eyes, it was out of the way, and there would be no room for the two of them in the future.

Also, how many days have they been calculating with each other, and what room is there?

Qi Ayaxue was quite calm, but Min Feng beside her couldn't help it, and her fingers almost poked Qing Ruchu's face: "You lost your chastity before you got married, and you should have become a lowly concubine, but it was because of the Prime Minister's Mansion that you are where you are today!" Don't you think no one knows about your ugly deeds? ”

Qing Ruchu narrowed her eyes, suddenly reached out and grabbed Min Feng's fingers and broke them hard.

"Ahh

The sudden pain made Min Feng exclaim, Qing Ruchu snorted coldly and pushed hard, and Min Feng fell to the ground. "You ......"

"Me? Hmph......" Qing Ruchu looked at her and scolded: "You remember, I am the dignified Duchess of Rongguo, what can your master do as a flat wife, it's not that I want to be held in my hands, you little slave dare to be rude to me, be careful that I want your cheap life!" ”

Min Feng pursed his lips and looked at Qing Ruchu with resentment, Qi Ayaxue stood aside with a blue face, she was really humiliated by coming here today, how did this Qing Ruchu become like this, and she didn't even want to maintain the peace on the surface? "Minfeng, let's go."

"Wait!" Qing Ruchu slowly paced two steps, walked in front of Qi Ayaxue, and said in an aggressive tone: "Today, even if it is a warning, you listen, my surname is Qing, I am the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and I am the Duchess of Rongguo, who is the queen mother's mother, and she is married to the Lin family!" And you, just a so-called down-and-out county lord, a lonely person, acquaintance, from now on for my use, your life in the mansion will be better, understand......"

Qi Ayaxue's face was extremely cold, and she pursed her lips without saying a word.

Qing Ruchu sneered lightly, "Come on, send off." ”

Min Feng got up from the ground and stomped his feet angrily, the master and servant went out of the house, and Min Feng couldn't help but say, "County Lord...... This second girl didn't take you seriously at all, and when she entered the Lin family, I'm afraid my life will be sad......"

Pray Ayaxue's face was gloomy and could drip water, "Hmph, the days are still long, let's see!" ”
