Chapter 46: Lunch at Fengqi Palace
The queen mother has become more and more calm since she succeeded to the seal, and now she is not surprised, but this matter is really unexpected, even if she is calm and calm on weekdays, she is now just a mother who is worried about her child, and that is the meat that fell from her body!
Nan Qi naturally knew what the queen mother was thinking, but he still helped the queen mother to sit down. "Queen Mother, Erchen knows that you are worried about the second brother, but this matter is obviously deliberately targeted at the second brother.
Father is angry at the moment, if you go to intercede now, I am afraid that my father will be even more angry, if you are really implicated, then it is not in the arms of others, the queen mother thinks twice!
The food and salary were embezzled, and the sons knew that it must not be the second brother's doing, and those people would definitely leave clues. Now the father has just put the second brother under house arrest, which shows that the father still believes in the second brother's character. ”
Seeing that the queen mother's state of mind was a little stable, Nan Qi breathed a sigh of relief, and said again: "What's more, His Royal Highness the King of War has always enforced the law impartially, and the son believes that this matter will definitely come to light. ”
After listening to Nan Qi's words, after the queen mother calmed down, she thought that this was indeed the case, just now she was too anxious, and when she heard that Nan Yuan had an accident, she forgot to think and ignored many details. "Fang Cai is the queen mother has not thought it through, can your second brother be sure to clear his name?"
Nan Qi nodded. "Don't worry, the second brother has sent someone to secretly investigate, and I believe that the second brother will be safe. ”
The queen mother covered her chest, that's good, it's good to be sure, since Nanyuan is sure herself, then she, as the queen mother, as long as she stabilizes, must not fall!
In the Longteng Pavilion, Emperor Tianyuan buried his head in the fold, but he had been thinking about the corruption of food and salary, looked up at the father-in-law in charge next to him, frowned and asked, "Today, there is no movement on the queen's side?"
It stands to reason that Nan Yuan was grounded by herself, and the queen mother should naturally be anxious, why has there been no movement until now?
Emperor Tianyuan pressed his eyebrows with his hand, this was not the same as he expected, when did the queen be so calm, and there was a slight tiredness between her eyebrows. "What is the Queen Mother doing?"
The housekeeper's father-in-law smiled and said: "This, Your Majesty, it is said that the queen mother has been in Fengqi Pavilion and has never left half a step, but the four princes went to Fengqi Pavilion in the morning." ”
What did Nan Qi do?
Emperor Tian Yuan sighed, put down the pen in his hand and leaned back in his chair. "Father-in-law, you say, is Yuan'er really the one who embezzled food and wages?"
The father-in-law in charge knelt directly on the ground, and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, you are really tormenting the old slave, this court matter, that is what my little father-in-law can discuss." ”
Emperor Tianyuan scolded with a smile: "You old thing, I told you to say it, where is so much nonsense, I can still cut off your head?"
The father-in-law of the steward raised his head, still feeling cold sweat, but he pretended to be calm. "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has also been watched by you since childhood, and the servants look at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as someone who will definitely not do such a thing, I'm afraid there is a misunderstanding in this matter. ”
Emperor Tian Yuan leaned back in his chair and looked up at the top of the beam. "Even you don't think it's Yuan'er......"
"This is just the slave's own opinion, and it can't be taken seriously, but I'm afraid the emperor has already made up his mind for a long time......"
Emperor Tianyuan didn't speak this time, his throne was also obtained from the fight, how could he not understand the idea of fighting for power between his sons, as long as it was really not Yuan'er's work this time, then it would not have much impact, and Yuan'er would definitely have a way to crack it.
After a while, Emperor Tianyuan sat up straight and commanded: "Father-in-law, go to Fengqi Pavilion to pass the decree, and say that my lunch should be in Fengqi Pavilion." ”
"Yes, the minion will do it. The father-in-law wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and quickly got up and walked out.
"Niangniang, the father-in-law who is the steward next to the emperor is here. ”
The queen mother was lying on the soft chair at this time, and she had just sent Nanqi away, and she was not so worried.
The housekeeper's father-in-law walked in with small steps, and as soon as he came in, he saw the queen lying there lazily, not at all crazy about this matter, and secretly admired in his heart, worthy of being the queen mother, and she could be so calm at this time.
"The servant meets the queen. ”
The queen lay on the soft chair and never got up. "What kind of wind is blowing today, why did you blow the steward's father-in-law to my Fengqi Pavilion. ”
The housekeeper's father-in-law smiled and said, "Niangniang, don't make fun of the slave, the slave is here with the emperor's will." The emperor said that you should accompany your mother for lunch, and your mother should prepare well. ”
The queen's eyes were slightly open, still looking lazy. "There is a father-in-law, and the palace has written it down. ”
"In that case, the minion will retire first. The steward's father-in-law bent down and stepped back, knowing that except for Fengqi Pavilion.
After the figure of the housekeeper's father-in-law disappeared, the queen mother got up, thought for a while and ordered: "Mama, tell the small kitchen, prepare lunch, don't be too deliberate, just follow the previous preparations." ”
"Mother......" Mama wanted to speak and stopped. "As soon as this happened, the emperor came to accompany you to dine, why don't you prepare well, and when the time comes, you will plead for His Royal Highness the Prince, maybe the emperor will be happy, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be released." ”
The queen smiled sadly, although the emperor and her childhood sweetheart are now in love. But only he knows what is locked in this high gate and big wall, the people outside want to come in, and the people inside want to go out.
"No need, if the palace prepares lunch well, the emperor will definitely feel that the palace has ulterior motives, and it will be better to turn it as usual, not to mention, the emperor has always disliked the harem to interfere in the affairs of the court. ”
Mama nodded, turned and ordered.
The queen mother sat in front of the dresser, looking at the aging face in the bronze mirror, a little panicked, she didn't know how many days and nights she had wasted in this palace. Pick up the comb and start taking care of yourself, even if you can't intercede, you can't lose your demeanor in front of the emperor.
At noon, the emperor really came to Fengqi Pavilion on time, and the queen, you AG, you have brought someone here early. "The concubines see the emperor. ”
"Excuse me. The emperor walked indoors, opened his arms and asked the queen to take off his robe and hand it to the palace maid on the side.
"Your Majesty, it's cold outside, this is the hot tea made by the concubine herself, you drink something to warm up first. The Empress Mother handed the hot tea on the table to Emperor Tianyuan, her eyes smiling.
