Chapter 118
"--It's a minion! Damn the minions! ”
Xiao Dezi held aloft a leather whip borrowed from the torture room, knelt on the ground, and pleaded guilty to Aiqing. [Full text reading]
"You're not right, you're damned!" Aiqing grimaced and said, "Because of you, Yan almost killed Rarity!" ”
"Your Majesty ......" Xiao Dezi cried with a sad face and moved a few steps forward, "Please ask the emperor to punish the minions!" ”
"Come on, what can I punish you for? If you don't eat a meal, you will faint, and when you see blood, you will faint too. Aiqing pouted, "Forget it, you get up." ”
"Thank you for your kindness!" Xiao Dezi immediately threw away the leather whip, got up from the ground with a bone, and approached Aiqing with a smile.
"Anyway, I at least know Yan's mind." Aiqing sighed, "He genuinely hates Rarity." ”
"Your Majesty, what should I do then?" Xiao Dezi said worriedly, "Are they hopeless to reconcile?" ”
"How do I know? I can't figure it out. Yan'er is a fair and honest person, and she never envy others, which means that he doesn't hold a grudge against Rarity for her achievements. So, I really can't think of why their relationship is so bad. ”
"If you can't think of it, you can't think about it, Your Majesty, haven't you read about it in a book, what kind of ship is that? What's straight? Xiao Dezi tried hard to comfort the emperor, but he couldn't remember that sentence.
"It's the boat that goes straight to the bridge." Aiqing glanced at Xiao Dezi, but there was some truth to this, maybe she should give Yan and Rarity a little time.
"That's right, Your Majesty, you still have to go to the morning court tomorrow, so let's rest early."
"Hmm." Aiqing got up and walked to the lavish dragon bed with a pale gold brocade curtain, "By the way, didn't Rarity come to me tonight?" ”
In the afternoon, they broke up unhappily, and Aiqing thought that Jing Tingrui would find it.
"No, Your Majesty." Xiao Dezi said, "Before going to the prince's mansion, the slave asked the Yellow Gate to keep an eye on it, and as long as General Jing came, he would come to inform the slave." ”
"That's right." Aiqing nodded bitterly, thinking that before, he was a little unhappy, and Rarity would have to coax him all day, and sure enough, when he became emperor, this attitude would be different.
But it's not right, even if Aiqing was lying in the bed, she still couldn't help but think, when she met Wen Chaoyang a few days ago, when the other party saw him, not to mention how polite she was, she knelt down from afar, and she was about to knock into the ground.
also said that the emperor is smart and heavenly, admired by all the people, how is it, this praised attitude is completely different from when he was the prince, and he praised Aiqing embarrassed.
Why did Jing Tingrui ...... instead? If it is near, it becomes strange and distant.
Aiqing turned over in the big bed, rolled over, and the dragon quilt on the whole bed was rolled into a long strip, just tossing herself.
Not only did she not sleep well all night, but even when she fell asleep, all she saw in her dreams was Rarity's cold and detached face, and her heart
It hurts.
※※※
Aiqing was thinking about how to win over Jing Tingrui, and today's morning court gave him a great opportunity.
Prince Jing sent a letter asking for a divorce from his concubine. This kind of family matter originally didn't have to go to the court, but because the first emperor issued a decree that Concubine An would take off her military status and marry into the palace. So this time, Prince Jing implored Aiqing to come to the Holy Judgment.
Of course, Prince Jing openly played impassionedly in the court to embarrass Jing Tingrui. As soon as his act of repudiating the concubine came out, it was tantamount to sweeping the mother and son out of the house in front of hundreds of civil and military officials.
What a "dishonorable" this is! Therefore, as soon as Prince Jing's words were finished, all the ministers cast "concerned" glances at Jing Tingrui, and even worse, they snickered secretly, and the sarcastic expression on their faces was clear at a glance.
Most of the generals lowered their heads and didn't dare to look at Jing Tingrui's face.
After Aiqing was silent for a moment, she asked Jing Tingrui's opinion very cautiously, knowing that "my mother has moved out of Prince Jing's mansion and has no intention of going back." After that, they agreed to dissolve their marriage.
Concubine An regained her status as a commoner and changed back to her maiden name, Liu.
Prince Jing thought that the emperor's questioning was a bit redundant. Since ancient times, the divorce of the concubine has relied on the words of the husband, and asked the prime minister, is this so?
"His Royal Highness is exactly what he said." Jia Peng is obviously on the same road as Prince Jing.
Regarding Prince Jing's many dissatisfactions, Aiqing just smiled, and then asked, "I have a question in my heart, and I ask the prince to answer it." ”
"Your Majesty, please speak."
"General Jing is the palace where he left with his biological mother?"
"Exactly!" Prince Jing came to the momentum and deliberately said loudly, "Their mother and son are unwilling to be loyal to this palace, since this is the case, what is the use of keeping it?" If you have a dog, you still know how to take care of the home! "Ironically, Jing Tingrui actually reported the prince's mansion for taking bribes, it's just a pickpocket!
These words are really ugly, but Jing Tingrui is still unmoved and does not say a word.
Aiqing frowned, but she didn't say anything to Prince Jing, just looked at the courtiers and said, "Although one thing is the same thing, but according to the prince's meaning, the general of my Great Yan Kingdom doesn't even have a place to live at the moment. ”
"Panic! Please calm the emperor's anger! The ministers all knelt down in unison, and Prince Jing was looking left and right, so he had to kneel down and pretend to beg the emperor to calm his anger.
"Your Majesty, please relax, since the end of the report against his father, he knows that he has no face to stay in the palace, and has purchased a secluded place in the city for his mother to enjoy her old age in peace."
Jing Tingrui's deep voice resounded in the hall, "If the family affairs of the last general disturb the sacred heart, the last general will really have to apologize for his sins with death!" ”
"What sin are you guilty of? Last time, I wanted to reward you, and you politely excused me, and now, I want to give you a general's mansion, what do you think? ”
"Go back to the emperor, no merit will be punished! The last thing has passed, and this time, there is no reason for the last general to accept such a reward! ”
"That's right." Aiqing seemed to expect Jing Tingrui not to accept it, so he smiled and said, "Xiao Dezi, pass on my will, and give a golden plaque 'General's Mansion' to General Jing's door." Everyone in the Imperial City knows that we have a General Jing's Mansion in Dayan. ”
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is inappropriate." Xiao Dezi was about to receive the order to do it, but Jia Peng got up and said.
"Why not?" Aiqing said unhappily, "I have already said it, do you want me to take back the reward?" ”
"This imperial plaque, I'm afraid it takes a first-class general to be qualified to receive it." Jia Peng had an expression of wanting to correct the emperor's mistake, and said vigorously, "General Jing's official position is from the second rank of General Wei, and he is not qualified enough. ”
"Prime Minister, don't forget, when General Jing followed the Emperor Taishang and crusaded against the Jialan Kingdom, he was a first-class general. He is now voluntarily demoting his rank, but he wants to personally protect my safety, and I will reward him so much for someone like him who does not care about personal gains and losses! ”
"Xiao Dezi, in addition, give the people's daughter Liu, as a first-class lady."
"Slaves obey!" This time, Xiao Dezi reacted very quickly, and without waiting for Jia Peng to say anything, he shouted the order, and then went down to do it.
"The last general will be for the mother, thank you Lord Longen!" Jing Tingrui bowed and knelt down again, and no one saw what his expression was
