Chapter 20 Provincial Relatives
In the Jing family, Jing Qi had just informed the head of the family, Jing Che, of what had happened on the Yingshang, and he hadn't waited for Jing Che to speak. A servant ran in in a panic.
"The head of the house, in the palace, there is news in the palace that the queen mother is coming!"
The three brothers of the Jing family suddenly changed their faces drastically.
It's now more than half past the hour, and although the days are quite long now, it's just over an hour before it gets dark.
I'd rather rush like this, but also go out of the palace to come to Jing's house, which shows that Queen Jing attaches great importance to this.
"Why are you still stunned! Open the middle door wide and get ready to welcome the queen! In the hall, Jing Che, who was already dealing with the affairs of the day, couldn't help but rub his forehead and shouted softly.
"Whoa!"
The two brothers, Jing Xiu and Jing Qi, also got up immediately and hurriedly walked towards the door.
It didn't take long for the palace guards of the silver armor and silver horse, with more than a dozen palace maids and eunuchs, guarding a gorgeous carriage, to slowly stop in front of the gate of the Jing family.
"Wait, welcome to the queen!" At the door, Jing Che took a group of descendants and bowed respectfully.
"Brothers, hurry up, such a big gift, in front of this Jing family, how can the little sister bear it." Empress Jing, who was dressed in luxurious palace clothes, with a gentle smile, helped Jing Che and the others up.
"This Jingjia is still as quiet as ever. Compared with the hustle and bustle in the palace, it is very nostalgic for the little sister. Big brother, as always, he is good at governing the family! ”
At the door, Queen Jing didn't enter the door for a long time, but looked at the scenery in front of the Jingfu Gate, looking quite nostalgic.
Jing Che bowed slightly, turned sideways, and said, "Niangniang praised it, and invited Niangniang to enter the house and take a seat." ”
Queen Jing's smile was gone, but her footsteps still hadn't made any progress.
"The eldest brother also knows that the younger sister is in the palace. In addition to taking care of the Queen Mother every day, she also needs to share His Majesty's worries and take care of the harem. On weekdays, it's okay if last is not around, but recently, even Huan'er is gone. In this heart, I miss my home very much......"
Empress Jing's words, the more she spoke, the lower she became, as if she was pouring out her inner anguish. However, the three brothers of the Jing family trembled after hearing this.
At this time, Queen Jing emphasized Xia Huan, undoubtedly telling everyone in the Jing family that they were not allowed to embarrass Xia Huan.
It sounds like this, even words such as "Queen Mother" and "Your Majesty" are reminding the three brothers of the Jing family that in the palace, she is still inseparable from Queen Jing.
"If Niangniang wants to come, the door of Jingfu can be opened for Niangniang at any time." Jing Che said more and more respectfully.
Hearing Jing Che's answer, Queen Jing said excitedly: "It's good that the eldest brother doesn't mind the little sister, an outsider!" ”
Empress Jing's words made even Jing Qi, who had the most different decrees, change his face when he heard it.
Jing's family and Queen Jing are blood relatives. In the battle for the prince, the Jing family must stand on the same front with Queen Jing.
can say the word "outsider", which shows how angry Queen Jing is in her heart.
"Niangniang is too careful...... "Jing Che on the side immediately said.
Empress Jing smiled and nodded, then waved her hand slightly.
Soon, two silver-armored guards dragged an unkempt man to him.
Before the silver-armored guards could put him down, he heard his hoarse voice crying, "O mother! Mother's forgiveness! The villain really didn't know that it was the Seventh Highness! ”
After seeing where you are and the person in front of you. Jing Zhong looked towards Jing Che again, crawling and crawling, as if he saw a savior, and shouted: "Family master! The head of the family, the villain is Jing Zhong! Ask the master of the house to save the villain's life! ”
However, before Jing Zhong could climb in front of Jing Che, Jing Qi on the side kicked him to the ground. In his mouth, he also scolded at the same time: "Where did you get the pickled things, and you dare to insult my Jing family!" ”
Empress Jing seemed to cover her nose lightly with some disgust, and said softly: "It seems that the third brother also thinks the same as the younger sister." Such a person who is not even as good as a beggar, how can he be from the Jing family? At first, when His Majesty sent him to the palace, the little sister wanted to deal with him. However, after thinking about it, this person insulted his brother's style, so it was better to leave it to his brother. ”
"Xie Niangniang." Jing Che took a deep look again to show his gratitude.
"It's not too early, the little sister is out of the palace this time, and she still needs to buy some things for the queen mother, so she won't stay here for a long time with the eldest brother." After Queen Jing finished speaking, Yan Yan smiled and turned to leave.
"Congratulations to the queen mother!"
A convoy of nearly 100 people came fast and left faster. In front of Jing's door, it suddenly returned to its original tranquility again.
It's just that although the front of the door is quiet, people's hearts are difficult to be calm.
Jing Che flicked his sleeves angrily and turned to walk towards the door.
The queen passed through the door and did not enter, and she didn't even have to wait for tomorrow, it was estimated that it would spread throughout the entire Shoudu tonight. At that time, even if he is the prime minister, he will not be able to stand the ridicule from Shilin.
If that's the case, it's fine, and what's more important is that since the queen came in person, and even said so much, then they won't be able to touch the Seven Princes at all.
Originally, they wrote to the Chu Emperor, and the Chu Emperor may have been forced by the pressure of the Jing family to withdraw to Xia Huan's fiefdom. In this way, the Jing family's face can be regarded as preserved.
However, now, they have broken their teeth, and they still need to swallow blood in their stomachs, how can they not be angry?
The more he thought about it, the more angry Jing Che became, and as soon as he walked to the lobby and sat down, he slapped the table hard.
After waiting for a long time, Jing Qi finally asked cautiously, "Big brother, what should I do about this matter?" ”
"What to do? What can I do! Jing Che, who had always been gentle and elegant, suddenly became furious and broke out in a cold sweat.
However, I don't know which string Jing Qi made wrong today, and he even asked in a ghostly manner: "Then, what about Jing Zhong?" ”
This time, Jing Che didn't even want to answer, just glanced at Jing Qi coldly. Ling Jingqi couldn't wait to slap himself twice.
Seeing that the eldest brother was angry, Jing Xiu on the side hurriedly shouted at Jing Qi: "What can I do!" Drag it out and feed the dogs! ”
"Whoa!"
If you are pardoned, you don't say a word, turn around and leave.
When Jing Qi left, Jing Xiu respectfully waved at Jing Che and said, "Big brother, things have come to this point, instead of getting angry, let's think about how to repair the relationship with the queen mother and the Seventh Highness." I have to say that this time, it was indeed Jing Zhong who went too far. If we don't appease the Seventh Highness as soon as possible, and reach the ears of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I'm afraid there will be another stir......"
"I don't know what you said!" Above the lobby, Jing Che stood up against the table, pacing above the lobby with some concern.
"Our Jing family, it's just a matter of losing some face. The queen mother and His Royal Highness the crown prince are also easy to say. The only thing I'm worried about ......"
Jing Che was halfway through his words, but there was a strong look of worry in his eyes.
"What does the eldest brother mean that all this is arranged by His Majesty?" Jing Xiu couldn't help but lower his voice and asked.
Jing Che shook his head and said, "Your Majesty may have the intention of rectifying Yingshang, but although Yingshang is not far away, it is enough to involve all of Your Majesty's energy. If you want to advance so much, even a part of Changxiujun in Jing Qi's mouth can be counted, it is simply impossible. ”
"What do you mean, eldest brother, this is all done by His Royal Highness the Seventh himself?" Jing Xiu said in disbelief, "However, with the temperament of the Seventh Highness, it shouldn't be!" ”
Although Xia Huan is not familiar with them, Jing Xiu is also Xia Huan's uncle. Xia Huan's character, Jing Xiu also knows a thing or two.
It is precisely because of this that when Xia Huan was sealed, he and Jing Che didn't care so much.
"It's us who underestimated him!" Jing Che sighed lightly and said, "Before the age of ten, you can export the chapter, and you can walk on the ground at the age of one." Such a child has been unknown for more than ten years, and it is not simple! It's not easy! ”
Jing Che's words made Jing Xiu's heart beat violently.
A person who has been so endurance since childhood, let alone a prince, is enough to make people shudder.
Moreover, when the Seven Princes were crowned at the beginning, was it really just a casual move by Emperor Chu? If not, does that mean that Emperor Chu had already seen through this prince, so he deliberately sent him to Yingshang?
If it just moves the interests of the family in Ying, it will damage some industrial financial resources at most. However, what if Emperor Chu has other thoughts?
It's scary to think about! It's scary to think about!
