Chapter 2 The Commander of the River
The emperor's illness was good and bad, and he never recovered. More than two months have passed in a blink of an eye, and the prince has been accompanying the emperor to live in Hanliang Hall and has not returned to the East Palace. The queen still remembers that the two princes and concubines who have not seen their husbands since entering the palace, and often send people to send some rewards such as brocade forging, melons and fruits.
Lai Xing'er offended Wang Bao'er on the first day he entered the East Palace as an errand, and was arranged to be on an errand at night, with the stars and the moon as his companions. Although he is small, he is very stubborn, refusing to bow his head to Wang Bao'er, falling asleep every day when he is full, and when he is dead of night, he sits alone in front of the door and counts the stars and thinks about his thoughts. Seeing this, Jinping was moved by a chivalrous heart, and as soon as he had time, he took the initiative to talk and chat with him.
At noon on the seventh day of the seventh month of July, the sun was so poisonous that it almost steamed the water in the Taiye Pond, and even the hissing of the autumn cicadas revealed a lazy tone. Jinping walked into the value room of Laixing'er with a plate of neatly cut watermelons. Lai Xing'er was looking out the window, and was slapped on the shoulder by Jinping with his hand, and jumped up in shock.
"Haha, what are you thinking? The watermelon sent by the restaurant, the master doesn't eat it, and you will be rewarded. Jinping put the watermelon on the small table in the room and sat down on the small stool next to it.
"Why are you so free at this point? Don't you wait in front of the mother? Lai Xing'er grabbed a tooth melon and asked while eating.
"In the morning, I went to Dugu Niangniang's place with Miss for a long time, Miss fell asleep at this time, and they took care of Cailuan, don't I have to be idle?"
"This lonely lady is also strange, she never comes to us, it's our mother who goes to see her, why is this? Also, last time you said that Niangniang wanted to learn to ride a horse, why haven't you seen any movement these days? In the blink of an eye, Lai Xing'er had three pieces of watermelon in his stomach, and he asked Jinping with the corner of his mouth dripping with juice.
"You, are we talking about the master's affairs behind our backs? Dugu Niangniang is happy to be quiet, our young lady loves to move, and runs over early every day, how can people have time to come? Jinping said half of the words, deliberately did not mention the matter of horseback riding, and waited for Lai Xing'er to be in a hurry.
Lai Xing'er really couldn't hold his breath: "Did you tell your mother about the things in the idle stables I told you?" As long as the mother speaks, I promise to choose a good horse for the mother. ”
"Ah, you little eunuch, you really don't know how thick the sky is. Dare to instigate the mother to ride a horse, I think you want to take a chance to ride a horse, right? Jinping was two years older than Lai Xing'er, and at this time he straightened his face and pretended to scold.
Who knew that although the Xing'er was small, he was a bold and thick-skinned character. He has always been accustomed to the courtyard in the stable, and has never been constrained by the rules of the palace, these days and Jinping get along well, seeing Jinping suddenly put on a half master's shelf, he is not timid at all, but more and more excited: "Good sister, this whole day in the day, but I am suffocated." You have pity on me, and you have time to talk about it in front of my mother. ”
Jinping saw that he couldn't frighten this pranky boy at all, so he simply asked directly: "Let me ask you, where did the horse come from in this palace?" Even if there are horses, how can there be such a big field to run horses? ”
Lai Xing'er replied with a smile: "I've visited it on weekdays." There is a stable in the southwest corner of this palace, and there are many horses in it, although I have never seen it, but when I hear the sound of fighting, I know that it is a good horse. Besides, such a big East Palace, where can't you run horses. ”
Jinping pouted: "You said lightly, except for the prince, who dares to ride a horse in this palace?" You're in the stables! ”
Lai Xing'er just wanted Niangniang to be the master, and she could act arbitrarily, but she didn't expect that there were so many rules in the East Palace, and she was asked for a while, staring at Jinping blankly and couldn't answer.
Jinping snorted and laughed: "Look at your dejected look, I'll go back to Miss Ming'er, okay for you to go back to the stable?" ”
Lai Xing'er only woke up at this time because he was teased by Jinping. He was not annoyed, but smiled and said, "My sister is serious, but don't play tricks on me again." ”
Seeing that Lai Xing'er said it naturally and was not pretentious, Jinping couldn't help but be stunned. Ever since he listened to Li Jinzhong's words intentionally or unintentionally in Ning Xiangxuan, Jing Xuan was a little more careful with the eunuchs and palace maids around him. Everyone else is okay, but this clever and handsome little eunuch Lai Xing'er was just transferred from the idle stable to the East Palace as an errand before he entered the palace. This made Jing Xuan have to pay extra attention to Lai Xing'er, she saw that Wang Bao'er didn't want to see Lai Xing'er, and only arranged for Lai Xing'er to be a night messenger, and she couldn't get in front of her on weekdays, so she sent Jinping to approach Lai Xing'er and test him. Although Jing Xuan didn't understand who planted eyeliner around her, what was she plotting? But as soon as she remembered the scene when Wang was frightened by Li Jinzhong's words and fled, she secretly sweated.
Jinping has been in contact with Lai Xing'er for more than two months, or the first time he deliberately tested him with words, listening to him sincerely, and seeing his childish appearance, I couldn't help but believe a little in my heart, so I comforted Lai Xing'er and said: "Don't worry, I will take care of you when I have the opportunity, and I will fulfill your wish." ”
The two gossiped for a while, Jinping saw that Xing'er had been stupid, clearly explained his heart, swept his head, and couldn't say anything more to comfort him, so he had to leave under the pretext.
Seeing Jinping walk away, Lai Xing'er suddenly felt that the room was stuffy, so he walked out of the room. He walked Dada, and before he knew it, he had walked to the courtyard gate of the stable in the southwest corner of the East Palace, and from time to time he heard the low neighing of a familiar horse. Hearing this voice, Lai Xing'er couldn't hold back her excitement, stepped forward and pushed the courtyard door, not moving at all, and locked it from the inside. He looked around and saw a large locust tree growing near the courtyard wall not far away, with its thick and strong branches stretching out into the courtyard. Lai Xing'er ran to the tree in three steps and two steps, jumped up with a "puff", and climbed up the tree with his hands and feet.
Through the dense branches and leaves of the big locust tree, Lai Xing'er looked into the courtyard: the yard is not big, and there are two long horse troughs placed under the walls on both sides of the courtyard gate, and more than a dozen short horses with bright coats are eating the food in the trough, probably eating happily, and from time to time there are horses raising their heads and neighing happily. There are also dozens of horses in the courtyard of the stable, but compared with the courtyard in this yard, whether it is the body or the color of the coat, it is far behind. When Lai Xing'er was in the idle yard, he often listened to Su Fuzhong's nagging horse scripture, it is said that there is a kind of horse produced in the Western Regions, which can travel 500 miles day and night, and its sweat is like blood, called sweat and blood horse, I don't know if the horse in this yard will be a sweat and blood horse? Just thinking of this, Lai Xing'er suddenly heard the door of the upper room in the courtyard "clang" and was pushed open, and two people walked out of the house one after the other.
The tall young man in military attache attire who walked in front turned back and shouted to the old man behind him as he walked: "You old man, I have to pick a good horse for me today, how about I repay you a credit in front of the prince?" ”
Behind him was a dry old man in his fifties, waving a fan in his hand, and replied slowly: "The horses are all in this yard, you just have to pick them, but if you ask about the whereabouts of the horses, the old man has no evidence, how can he reply?" ”
The young man was obviously a little impatient: "Didn't the prince's edict be given to you, what else do you want?" ”
The old man smiled: "Forgive Lao Er's clumsiness, in the past, the adults in this palace used horses, and what they brought were all the official approvals of the inner fang sealed by Shang Gonggong, Lao Er has never seen the prince's edict, and your face is very raw, so that Lao Er is embarrassed." ”
"So, what do you say?" The young man smiled, and there was a faint sense of murder on his black face with a long beard.
"The adult said that it was a hurry, it is better to do this, you first pick a horse to do an errand, leave your waist card, temporarily fill the voucher, and return the horse after you finish the errand, and then return the waist card to you, okay?"
"Old man, do you know the rules of the prince's guard, how can this waist card leave lightly? That's it, why don't you follow me to Concubine Jing's place, and beg Niangniang to be a guarantor. ”
When Lai Xing'er heard this in the tree, he was moved by a good thing for a while, and he also wanted to take the opportunity to get close to the horse, so he quietly slipped down the tree and stood outside the door waiting for the two to come out.
The prince's left guard led Fu Yi out of the stable with a jujube red horse and an old stable, only to see a handsome little eunuch outside the courtyard gate greeted him with a smile: "The two of you are going to see Jing Niangniang, can I lead the way?" ”
Fu Yi was startled, instinctively pressed the saber with one hand, and asked vigilantly, "Who are you?" ”
"I'm Lai Xing'er who is waiting in Jing Niangniang's palace, I just caught cicadas on this tree, I overheard what you said, I was afraid that you were not familiar with the road, so I came to show you the way." Lai Xing'er is not shy about it at all, except that catching cicadas is made up temporarily, and what he says is mostly the truth.
"Yo, you kid turned out to be from Jing Niangniang's palace, I've always seen you wandering around here recently, won't you all come to catch cicadas?"
Hearing the old horse Wu Xiaozhong say this, Fu Yi put his heart at ease, after all, he was a person in urgent business, and he had no time to think carefully, so he nodded and said to Lai Xing'er: "Then there is Lao Xiaogong." ”
He didn't want to come to Xing'er, but he approached and pleaded: "General, can you let me ride a horse?" ”
Wu Xiaozhong said with a smile on the side: "I'm here for the horses, what nonsense to catch cicadas." ”
Fu Yi picked up Xing'er with one hand, gently put him on the horse, and laughed: "Then sit tight, fall down carefully and be ridden by the horse." ”
The horse was not saddled, Lai Xing'er rode on the bareback horse, his heart was happy, and his legs subconsciously clamped the horse's belly, and he was about to gallop. Seeing this, Fu Yi hurriedly tightened the reins and exclaimed, "The little father-in-law's riding skills are not bad." ”
Laixing rode a horse, Fu Yi held the reins, and the old horse boy followed behind the horse, and in less than half an hour of tea, the three of them came to the door of Qixia Pavilion. Lai Xing'er saw at a glance that Zhu'er was sitting in the shade of the doorway and napping, and without waiting for Fu Yi to stop, he turned over and dismounted neatly, and shouted at Zhu'er: "Sleepy worm, hurry up and report it, someone asks to see Niangniang." ”
Zhu'er saw that it was Laixing'er with sleepy eyes, and replied angrily: "You little monkey spirit, where did you go to be happy, the prince is looking for you fairly." ”
Lai Xing'er was the most annoying to mention Wang Bao'er to him, but he didn't answer, so he walked into the courtyard with his head bored. Seeing this, Fu Yi hurriedly took out the waist card and handed it to Zhu'er, and said with a smile: "Please ask the little father-in-law to give a respect, the prince's left guard led Fu Yi to follow the prince's mouth and ask to see the mother." Before Zhu'er could react, he could only hear Lai Xing'er's voice coming from behind him: "General, I'll go and report." ”
Jing Xuan heard the Jinping report that a general of the army asked to see him, but his father sent someone into the palace, and he was secretly happy in his heart, and Wang Bao'er, who was standing on the side, ordered: "You go and invite him in." ”
Wang Bao'er bowed and replied: "Niangniang, the inner garden of the East Palace has always been strictly controlled, and people from outside the palace must be guided by someone from the inner square when they enter the palace. ”
When he walked out of the hall, he saw Lai Xing'er standing under the corridor sweating profusely, and scolded him: "You little thief, haven't you lived enough, and you have attracted some idle people to see Niangniang." ”
Lai Xing'er was not afraid of him: "The person is at the gate of the courtyard, you will know when you see it, you can use such a hurry to scold people with a white face." When he saw Wang Bao'er come out, he knew that Xin'er had been brought, so he turned around and went back to his duty room.
Wang Bao'er spat at Lai Xing'er's back, and hurried towards the courtyard gate with broken steps.
The prince's left guard was the forbidden army guarding the prince, and the generals of the forbidden army begged to see the concubines of the East Palace. Wang Bao'er has been on an errand in the palace for three or four years, and has never encountered this matter, after thinking about it, he still said to Fu Yi, who was full of anxiety: "Don't be surprised, my lord, I don't see the official approval of the inner fang, I really don't dare to let you in." ”
The old stableman also muttered beside him: "I also said that I asked my mother to be a guarantor, I can't enter this door, so just return the horse to me." ”
Fu Yi was really anxious, he was temporarily ordered, and he only had a horse transfer warrant written by the prince in a hurry, and there was no other evidence. The prince explained very clearly in Hanliang Palace: he borrowed a horse, saw Jingxuan, and left immediately. Thinking of this, Fu Yi's heart was crossed, so he simply grabbed Wang Bao'er, dragged him into the courtyard, and at the same time did not forget to turn back and say to the old stable: "You wait, I'll go and ask the mother for a guarantee." ”
Wang Bao'er was caught off guard, the three souls frightened out two souls, and the remaining soul supported him and shouted loudly: "Niangniang, it's not good, someone broke into the palace." He knew that in addition to the four little eunuchs in this Qixia Pavilion, there was no adult male, and if this reckless man was rude, he would not be able to resist, so he could only scream hard and call Jing Xuan a policeman, which would be regarded as his best.
Jing Xuan stood on the steps outside the hall, watching a big man like a black tower walking towards him with Wang Bao'er in his hand. She gently pushed away the brocade screen in front of her, and asked loudly, "Who is it that dares to be so rude?" ”
When Fu Yi saw Jing Xuan, he hurriedly let go of Wang Bao'er, knelt on one knee, and replied: "Niangniang forgives her sins, and the last general will be ordered by the prince to see Niangniang, and there is an urgent military report." ”
Jing Xuan waved his hand at the palace maids and eunuchs beside him: "You all retreat, general, follow me into the palace." ”
The prince's dictation was brief and clear: he asked Jing Xuan to write a letter, and Fu Yi went to the military camp in Hezhong to meet Jing Yuncong and persuade him to enter Beijing immediately.
As a general, his father did not follow the emperor's edict and entered Beijing without permission, which is a major crime of complicity, how can the prince not know? But why did this husband, whom he had not yet met, do this? Jing Xuan really couldn't think of the reason, groaned, and asked Fu Yi softly: "Didn't the prince explain the reason?" ”
"The prince has another message to General Jing, and he will not dare to say anything."
"Oracle?" Jing Xuan's eyes suddenly lit up, today's events were too strange, she couldn't be more careful, "I'll send someone to go with you." ”
Although Fu Yi was a little embarrassed, he thought that the prince ordered him to come to see Concubine Jing before leaving, and he had the intention of obeying her arrangement, so he agreed.
Jing Xuan originally wanted to send Jinping, but then he thought about it: If this is the case, why not? Then he commanded: "Call Xing'er to see me." ”
After Jing Xuan waited for Fu Yi and Lai Xing'er to leave, he thought about it for a while, and wondered if it was right or wrong for him to suddenly decide to send Lai Xing'er to follow Fu Yi to see his father, and he didn't know what happened, the prince was so anxious to ask his father to enter Beijing? On the one hand, she instructed Jinping to secretly follow the two out of the city, it seems that Xing'er will not report to anyone, and at the same time, she is also deeply worried about her father. After living in the East Palace for more than two months, the prince has never returned to the palace, remembering that Li Jinzhong hinted intentionally or unintentionally that in connection with what happened today, Jing Xuan realized that she couldn't sit and wait in the palace, and she had to take action.
Empress Zhang sat alone in the Qingning Palace, and a burst of troubles hit her heart: the emperor was sick and lying in the cool hall, and the prince would rather leave the two brides in the East Palace, than half a step away from the emperor, and his vigilance against himself had clearly reached ten; His own son, the ten-year-old Zhao Wang Li Pu, was also sick, and three imperial doctors came to see it, but none of them could explain what kind of illness he had; Li Jinzhong's old slave was not only separated from him, but Yu Chengen, a close eunuch who supervised the army on the front line in Hezhong, also came to add to the chaos at this time, and secretly sent someone to dig up the ancestral grave of the Jing family. She had just received a secret report that the prince had sent someone to the river, and it was too early to publicly tear her face with the prince at this time.
At this moment, Yang Quanyi, the eunuch in charge of Qingning Palace, came in to report: The two princes and concubines came to ask for peace.
Empress Zhang was suddenly taken aback: Come to ask for peace at this time, could it be that Jing Xuan, this little girl, already knows the news? She casually said "pass", picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, trying to calm her troubled mind.
After Jing Xuan and Dugu Wanrong passed the courtesy seat, Empress Zhang pretended to be surprised and asked, "Why do you want to come over and say hello at this time?" ”
Without waiting for Wanrong to speak, Jing Xuan stood up, gave a new salute, and replied: "I originally wanted to come over with Wanrong's sister in the morning, today is Qixi Festival, today in previous years, the concubines all greeted their grandmother before lighting the lamp at night, and then the family enjoyed the lantern together." So I made an appointment with my sister to come over at this time, and the concubine didn't know the rules of the palace, and I hoped that the queen mother would forgive me. ”
Empress Zhang looked at Jing Xuan's smiling face, not as if she knew about the changes in the family, but she mentioned her grandmother in the family, thinking that she hadn't heard some rumors and came to inquire about the news, so she asked: "Xuan'er's grandmother is still here, very good, I don't know how long the old lady is?" ”
"After returning to my mother, my grandmother is sixty-two years old this year."
The queen asked Wanrong again: "How did Rong'er's family spend Qixi Festival?" ”
Wanrong got up and replied: "Only the parents of the concubine's family are there, and she has never celebrated Qixi Festival when she was a child. ”
The queen smiled: "That's it, where did Xuan'er come to ask me for peace today, she is obviously here to ask for her husband." ”
When the two of them said this, their faces were flushed, and they couldn't raise their heads.
"I know that you two have been wronged these days, and the prince's filial piety in front of the emperor is to set an example for the world, but you can't delay the important affairs of humanity because of this. So, Yang Quanyi, you go for a trip and ask the prince to come and talk. After the queen said this, her eyes were fixed on Jing Xuan's face.
Jing Xuan was secretly happy for a while, thinking that as long as he saw the prince, he would ask things clearly. I had something in my heart, and I forgot to be ashamed, and blurted out: "Thank you to the queen mother." She was nothing, and this voice made her so ashamed that she couldn't run away immediately.
She only said that Jing Xuan was lonely and idle, and asked herself to come to the queen to say goodbye, and a few people talked together, who would have thought that today was Qixi Festival, if this matter was spread out, wouldn't it really become a palace concubine Sichun? The more Wanrong thought about it, the more embarrassed she became, sitting there embarrassed and angry, regretting that she shouldn't have agreed to Jing Xuan to come with her to ask for peace, but she also ended up with an unknown reputation.
Empress Zhang observed her words and looks, and she already understood seven or eight points. She secretly laughed at Jing Xuan's recklessness, and also wanted to take advantage of this to ease the tense relationship with the prince, so she deliberately pulled the topic away, and waited for the arrival of the prince while talking to the two of them about interesting things in the palace.
The prince was summoned by the queen, guessed that Jing Xuan lent the queen to ask An to inquire about the news, and wanted to excuse himself, but the emperor heard it on the side, not only ordered him to go to Qingning Palace immediately, but also did not have to come to Hanliang Hall to serve, give three days off, and return to the East Palace to complete the ceremony.
A military report from the front line in the river this morning had already made the prince inexplicably nervous, and at this time, Jing Xuan actually went to the queen to inquire about the news, which added a sense of anxiety to the prince's heart. The military report was sent by Yu Chengen, the eunuch who supervised the army, and the content was mainly that the military budget was seriously insufficient due to the continuous war, and the soldiers were hungry and did not choose food, so they robbed and dug the graves one after another, and sold the burial goods in the tomb in exchange for food, clothing, and other things, and the people in the river were boiling with resentment. The day before yesterday, even the tomb of Deputy Marshal Jing Yuncong's father was dug up and stolen, and the hearts of the people in the army were shaken. The prince and Jing Yuncong are both relatives of Weng's son-in-law and former partners, seeing that he is involved, he can't help but pay special attention, and after reading it carefully, the prince can't help but break out in a cold sweat: this military report is reminding the emperor that the theft of Jing's father's tomb is the direct cause of the instability of the army. In this way, with the emperor's suspicious character, it is inevitable that Jing Yuncong will be suspicious, and if Jing Yuncong does not express his attitude towards this matter to the imperial court as soon as possible, then the consequences will be unimaginable. In a hurry, the prince didn't have time to think about it, so he sent Fu Yi, who was close to him, to urgently transfer Jing Yuncong into Beijing in the name of his own marshal of soldiers and horses in the world, and was afraid that Jing Yuncong would refuse to accept the transfer, so he specially instructed Fu Yi to go to the East Palace to see Jing Xuan before leaving, and bring a letter from his family with him.
Strangely, after reading the military report, the Emperor was noncommittal and did not make any indications. This made the crown prince regret it a little, and until this moment, he was still thinking about it repeatedly on the way to Qingning Palace. He had no doubt that Empress Zhang, who had many ears and eyes, already knew about this matter, but he was not sure how much the ill-intentioned military report had to do with her.
"Queen Mother, I don't know what to call my son for?" The crown prince respectfully saluted Empress Zhang, who was sitting in the center
"How's your father doing?"
"My father had some dizziness and palpitations in the morning, and the imperial doctor took a look at it, changed the two medicines, and it was slightly better after taking it."
"That's good. Look, prince, who else is waiting for you here. The queen smiled and pointed at Jing Xuan and Wanrong.
Jing Xuan and Wanrong have been standing on the side since the prince entered the palace, and when they saw the queen pointing to themselves, they hurriedly stepped forward to salute the prince.
Jing Xuan also gave up, the prince's eyes fell on Wanrong, as if he had been nailed by something, and he was secretly surprised in his heart: There is such a beautiful woman in the world!
"The two princes and concubines have been waiting here for a long time, prince, you don't want to live up to this Qixi night." Seeing that the crown prince was staring at Wanrong directly, the queen sneered in her heart, and deliberately teased lightly.
"The queen mother made fun of it, and the son thanked the queen mother for her success."
"That being the case, the palace will not delay your reunion, so let's go back to the palace together."
Jing Xuan was anxious to ask the prince about the news of his family, and when he heard this, he wanted to get up and salute and say goodbye, but he heard the prince ask: "Queen Mother, my son heard that my brother is not feeling well, I don't know if the imperial doctor has come to see it?" ”
"His child is greedy and has damaged his stomach, so it's okay." The queen didn't want the prince to know her son's true condition, so she said casually.
"Pudi's body and bones have always been weak, and those doctors in the Tai Hospital will only use some warm swallowing medicine. A few years ago, when his son was in the Eastern Capital, there was a military man in the Chinese military tent, known as a miracle doctor, good at treating incurable diseases, and now he is working in front of the Jingyun Cong tent in the river. The prince deliberately led the conversation to the river, trying to test the queen's reaction.
The queen was quite surprised when she heard that the prince was so enthusiastic about recommending Langzhong for her son, and after thinking about it, she understood the prince's intentions, so she smiled and said: "That's good, but now that the river doesn't stop, how can this palace delay the war for Pu'er's illness?" The prince's kindness was appreciated by the palace. Today's Taiyi has limited skills, if only Mama Xia was still here, it would be good. The words were neither cold nor hot, and directly pointed out that the front line did not stop, and in turn turned the prince's army.
When the queen mentioned the front-line war, the prince thought to himself that most of this woman had already known about the matter of sending people to the river, so it was better to make it clear here: "Yes, I received a report from the army in the river early this morning, and the front-line army is unstable, and my father is only afraid that he is making trouble for this matter." The son has used the name of the marshal of the soldiers and horses to urgently transfer Jing Yuncong to Beijing to report on his work, and he can arrive in Beijing in three or two days. ”
The prince's unabashed surprise to the queen. Yu Chengen's intention to send this military report, the queen knew very well, that is, to make the emperor suspicious of Jing Yuncong in his heart, so as to take the opportunity to seize his military power. The prince sent someone to the river secretly, and the queen only said that she had a secret communication with Jing Yuncong, but she directly transferred Jing Yuncong back to Beijing, and the prince has always been cautious in his work in the past few years, why is he so decisive and decisive this time? The queen didn't have time to think about it, so she blurted out: "Does the emperor know about this?" ”
"Father doesn't know."
"Oh? Why didn't the crown prince make a decision after the emperor? The queen's face darkened.
"It's the son who is not thoughtful, please forgive the queen mother." The prince made up his mind and did not explain much.
When the two of them talked about this, it was the queen who was embarrassed. The prince obviously saw that Jing Xuan and the two came here to inquire about the news, and adopted a preemptive strategy, explaining the matter in front of the queen, which not only eliminated Jing Xuan's doubts, but also forced the queen to express her position on the spot, reserving a way to retreat in the future.
"These militaristic events, we can't that heart as girls. It's not too early, prince, take the two of you back to the palace. "The queen deliberately avoided showing her attitude, since King Jianning was killed, everyone inside and outside the court knows that she and the prince have become like fire and water, today in the face of this flaw in the prince's sale, before the emperor's attitude is not clear, any hasty statement will only be beneficial to the prince, so that he falls into passivity. So she's going to have to wait and see.
