Chapter 6: The Queen's Trouble
?
September. A lot has happened.
For example, the emperor appointed King Qi as the crown prince, for example, the emperor destroyed the Eastern Turks and set up the Anton Protectorate, and there was no Eastern Turk in the world. Due to the flanking attacks of Huo Qing and Ziling, the Western Turks withdrew their troops, but Ziling failed to catch the defected second prince of the Eastern Turks in Tuyuhun. For another example, at the moment when she learned that the East Turkistan Kingdom was destroyed, Concubine Yade touched the pillar and died.
Huo Qing and Ziling returned to the dynasty in victory, and the emperor ordered the prince to welcome the two generals with the gift of demotion.
After a few years, I was able to see General Ziling again, and I had all kinds of feelings in my heart. I don't know the wind and frost outside the plug, but it has changed the appearance of the past like 'jade'.
"Tonight, the emperor has a big banquet in the Lin De Palace, and the mother should be dressed up to attend. "'Spring' looked at me in the mirror with a little sadness, and said with a smile.
I smiled at her and said, "Go get that purse!"
'Chun' Fen understood, and took out a simple purse from the cage, which contained the 'flowers' that Ziling had given me. When I was dressed, the 'spring' hung it around my waist, hidden in a gorgeous purse, and no one noticed.
Holding Baoyue on the phoenix, first to the Yanying Palace, Cao Hong smiled and greeted him: "Niangniang came by coincidence, the two generals and the prince are also in the palace!"
I thought for a while and said, "In that case, then the palace will go to the Lin De Hall first to wait for the emperor." ”
Just as he was about to leave, the big 'door' of Yanying Hall opened, and Qi Heng laughed heartily from inside, and said loudly: "Is the queen coming? Come in!"
No, I had to go in, and a queenly smile appeared on my face at the same time. said: "It's the concubine who is here, the emperor is really good ears, and he heard the voice of the concubine from afar." ”
I saluted Qi Heng first, and the prince, Ziling and Huo Qing saluted me one after another. Without squinting, I raised my hand and said, "No courtesy." ”
Qi Heng stretched out his hand to me and said with a smile: "Baoyue, come and let my father hold it." I smiled and 'handed over' Baoyue to him, Qiheng 'touched' Baoyue's little face, and Baoyue called sweetly: "Father!" Qiheng was even more happy.
I stood beside Qi Heng, and only then did I have a chance to fight General Quanling, and he really lost a lot of weight and darkened a lot. With a gentle smile at him, he didn't look at me, but at Baoyue, and said, "The princess is already so old. ”
Qiheng said: "Yes, you haven't returned to the dynasty for several years, and you don't know many things. In the future, stay in Jingzhong and stay by my side!"
I glanced at Ziling in surprise, and saw that he didn't look surprised, obviously knowing that Qiheng wanted to keep him in Beijing. In this battle, Ziling had merit in the battle against the Western Turks, but he did not capture the leader of the rebel army, but after all, the merit was greater than the demerit! But Qiheng's meaning seemed to offset the merit and demerit, and he was not allowed to lead the troops anymore.
I couldn't ask about the official deployment, so I smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the time is almost up, let's go to the Linde Palace!"
"Okay, swing!"
A group of people came to the Lin De Palace, tonight is a banquet for rewarding heroes, and concubines are not allowed to participate. When the ministers saw us coming, they hurriedly went out and knelt down to greet us.
During the banquet, I kept holding Baoyue on my lap, and halfway through the banquet, Baoyue 'rubbed' her eyes, and I hurriedly 'handed over' Baoyue to Ru's mother to take back.
After another halfway round, Qiheng was so happy that he was already a little drunk, and let people give me a bad luck wine glass, and said with a smile: "The queen also has a few drinks!"
I hurriedly excused myself: "The concubine is not strong enough to drink." ”
"It's okay! I'm happy today, come, toast the two generals!" Qi Heng held my hand, 'wanting' to ask me to go down the steps, I was a little at a loss with my wine glass: Qi Heng was really drunk.
Ziling and Huo Qing naturally understood, how could they accept the emperor's demotion gift? Hurriedly got up and held up the wine glass and said: "Weichen is loyal to the emperor and the queen, and he is dead!"
"Good, good!" Qi Heng smiled, tilting his head and drinking the wine in his glass.
I had to drink a full glass of wine, and I was a little drunk, and I coughed a few times. But Qi Heng hugged me, took me in his arms, and said with a smile: "When the queen just entered the palace, she used to do a neon dress and feather dance, and today she is so happy, the queen might as well do another dance, how about it?"
My face changed greatly, and I forced a smile: "Your Majesty, the concubine back then was just a beauty. "I'm reminding him that I'm the queen now, and asking him to take care of my honor.
But there really doesn't make sense to talk to a drunken person.
He still insisted, "What's the matter, besides, the queen is now lighter than ever, and her dancing will be more graceful." Come on, get the colorful feather coat for the queen!"
"Your Majesty!" I turned around in surprise and saw that it was General Ziling who stopped him, "Your Majesty, the queen mother is the mother of a country, and dancing in front of the ministers like this is not in place!"
Qi Heng staggered to his feet, pointed at him with a smile and said, "Ziling, you ...... You won't ...... her back."
"The emperor is drunk!" I held him to stop his drunken words, and then gave Jiang Shouquan a look, and said to the ministers, "The emperor is happy today, he drank a few more glasses, and the palace helped the emperor to go back to rest first." ”
Jiang Shouquan hurriedly summoned two eunuchs to support Qi Heng left and right, and Qi Heng took my hand: "The queen is coming...... Keep drinking, you guys!"
I followed him stumbling out of the Lin De Palace, he suddenly pushed away the eunuch who was holding him, turned back and said to me coldly: "After so many years, there are some things that I can't let go, it's a pity." ”
My fingertips were cold, and I said, "You're really ...... It's boring!"
He snorted coldly, grabbed my wrist, and said with an evil smile: "I can't use Ziling anymore, don't you think it's a pity?"
"If the emperor is because of his concubines, he doesn't have to!" I gritted my teeth and said.
"I never decide what to do because of a 'woman', how can you not understand if you are so smart?" he almost dragged me to the imperial chariot and shouted "Let's go!" The imperial chariot moved slowly, he glared at me and said, "I don't want to have one more high-ranking general in the party!"
It turned out that it was for his son.
"In the past two years, I have watched you change from a grandmother to the queen Ji, I am really disgusted!" he let go of me, leaning against the wall of the car with his head propped up.
I 'touched' his wrist and sighed, "It's people who always become, especially in that seat." When the emperor put me in the back seat, didn't he think about it? To save 'sex' life and keep the truth, the concubines can only choose 'sex' life. ”
"Don't 'meddle' in the affairs of the court, go back to the old Auntie, I will ensure that you are safe in the future. He finally said this to me.
I smiled weakly and said, "Since the emperor said so, what else can I do?"
It's okay, anyway, I'm thinking about this matter as soon as it's over, and I don't need to make any more moves, just wait for the day when he takes the left prime minister! For me, instead of expecting the emperor's grace to protect me, it is better to rely on myself to win the checks and balances in the second half of my life!
In the morning of the next day, the emperor was named the general of Yulinwei from the Sanpin Imperial Front with one merit and one pass, and Huo Qing was named the general of Sanpin Huaihua and the general of Zuojin Wuwei.
