Chapter 166: Reconciliation
Chu Jinrong breathed a sigh of relief after learning that Fulin was finally willing to go back with the horse, but a wave of unevenness rose again, and when communicating with those ministers, he suddenly found that the emperor was depressed when he went to court in the past two days, and he couldn't lift his spirits when he talked about things.
Chu Jinrong didn't think it was anything, but it was obviously not normal for the emperor to be like this in recent days, and it was obviously impossible to deliberately ask about this matter, and after thinking for a while, Chu Jinrong chose to meet the emperor in the next dynasty on the grounds of asking about political affairs.
"Father has been sad for the past few days, but what has happened?" Chu Jinrong asked, after all, he was curious about what the emperor had been worried about recently.
"Don't mention it," the emperor's face immediately fell, he sighed, and only spoke under Chu Jinrong's gaze, "It's the queen who misunderstood me, and she didn't listen to me no matter how I explained, so I had a headache for this." ”
"The queen mother is empathetic, how can she not understand you because of a little thing?" Chu Jinrong didn't care, the emperor and the queen have always been harmonious, isn't the emperor afraid that he has encountered greater trouble to hide people's eyes?
"Where?" The emperor was dissatisfied, "I have been staying with a certain concubine recently, and the queen is angry, and she will not listen to any persuasion I try. ”
Chu Jinrong opened his mouth and swallowed back what he wanted to say back into his stomach, he didn't expect the queen to be angry with the emperor, the reason was actually this, but if you think about it carefully, you can really understand the queen's mood, so he changed his mind and said: "But my father, as a monarch, can't be partial to one person in the face of the harem."
The emperor sighed, his expression was a little helpless, his eyes fell on the music on the table, and the more he thought of the queen's affairs, the more annoyed he became: "I also understand this truth, but I really can't go to the queen's side recently, it just so happens that you come to ask me, I want to ask you what countermeasures you have?"
Chu Jinrong looked at the emperor with a strange expression, could it be that the new concubine was too beautiful and confused the emperor's mind, but this was a matter of self-control, even if he asked him, he didn't have any good way.
The emperor saw that Chu Jinrong had not been for a long time, so he looked up at him, but saw Chu Jinrong looking at him with a tangled expression, and after thinking carefully about what he had just said, he realized that Chu Jinrong probably misunderstood what he meant: "Don't think of other places, I stayed with that concubine, but because she made a good dish, she had nothing to do before, and she was invited to come down and eat a bite, and she felt that this was a delicacy, and even the imperial dining room was not as good as the concubine's cooking."
Chu Jinrong only felt strange, to be so praised by the emperor, how good was the concubine's craftsmanship?
But doubts are doubts, the current problem is that the emperor wants to let himself think about countermeasures, Chu Jinrong stood on the case and racked his brains but couldn't do anything, so he had to sigh, saluted the emperor and said: "The incident happened suddenly, and I don't have any good plans now, but I beg my father to let me go back and think about it carefully, and then come to offer a plan."
The emperor should have thought that it shouldn't take long for Chu Jinrong to think about a good strategy, so he waved his hand and asked him to go down and think slowly: "Then I will leave this matter to you, and you have to do it for me as soon as possible."
Chu Jinrong secretly pinched his sweat, it was the queen who was in a temper now, and he had to make sure that the plan was foolproof, if he put the cart before the horse and ruined the relationship between the two of them, it would be worth the loss.
But fortunately, the emperor didn't say when the deadline was, and although Chu Jinrong didn't come up with any countermeasures after he went back, he thought of someone who could come up with a solution.
Li Qiuchi's eyes widened, but he didn't expect Chu Jinrong to throw this problem to himself: "No wonder when I asked the queen mother not long ago to say goodbye, I saw that her face was not quite right, it seemed that there was something unspeakable, it turned out that I was worried about this matter."
"If nothing else, do you have any good ways to reconcile them?" Chu Jinrong spread his hands and signaled that he didn't have any ideas.
Li Qiuchi also seemed to be stumped by this, but it didn't take long for him to have an idea, and said: "If you want the queen to be comfortable, you must first make her realize the reason why the emperor went to the concubine alone."
"If you have a way, then you can talk to the emperor yourself." Chu Jinrong immediately opened his mouth to stop it, if he conveyed Li Qiuchi's words on his behalf, what was the difference between him and the person who grabbed the merit?
Li Qiuchi pouted a little helplessly, and had to find time to give advice to the emperor, under the guidance of Li Qiuchi, the emperor first asked the queen to go to Huabaolou for dinner, but the food in Huabaolou was made by the concubine herself.
"These dishes are delicious, where did you get the cook, this palace would like to see it." The queen was full of praise after only one bite.
The emperor breathed a sigh of relief, and explained to the queen before, the latter didn't care, and sure enough, the food was the most enjoyable: "Don't hide it, you also know this cook, and this cook's skills also remind me of a person."
"Oh? Is there such a person who can make the emperor unforgettable? Satisfying her appetite, the queen finally put a smile on her face.
"I also discovered not long ago that the concubine's craftsmanship is the same as that of this cook, so it is inconvenient for you to taste it, the queen." The emperor followed Li Qiuchi's method to speak, and made the queen in front of him realize from the side that he just liked to eat the dishes made by the concubine, and after speaking, he stared at the queen very nervously, wanting to see how the latter reacted.
The queen's next move also made the emperor breathe a sigh of relief, it seems that the dishes in front of him are also the queen's appetite, when he mentioned the name of the concubine again, the queen did not show any disgust on her face, but said as usual: "I see, the emperor stayed with that concubine for this matter, it is the palace that is stingy."
After such a try, the queen really lost her anger, and the knot of the past few days was finally untied, and the emperor suddenly felt a lot more relaxed. Seeing that the queen was still tasting the dishes, and remembering Li Qiuchi's next preparations, he asked, "I don't know if the queen has Yaxing, and will accompany me to the imperial garden for a walk?"
The queen was a little surprised by the emperor's enthusiasm, but she didn't think much about it, she just said that he had opened his mind, and his eyes returned to herself, so she happily agreed.
So the emperor took a walk with the queen after dinner, the two enjoyed the flowers and walked together, and I don't know who started it, the two gradually began to recall the past, from the two acquaintances to the present day, all the way to sigh, but also found that the feelings between each other are deeper.
