One hundred and seventy-four, mother and son
The Xu family finally ushered in the return of Chu Tingchuan in a panic.
His Royal Highness King Xinwang Jiangnan and his entourage punished the evil and eliminated the traitors, made decisions for the people, and gained countless good reputations along the way, and even officials from all over the country praised him.
Such a prince, who else can he be if he is not chosen?
Therefore, as soon as His Royal Highness King Xin returned to Beijing, King Xin's Mansion was almost filled with all kinds of famous posts.
Chu Tingchuan didn't care about these various visions, the first thing he did was to go to the palace to explain to Emperor Jiaping what happened to Jiangnan and his party.
After this small half a year, Chu Tingchuan was a little taller, and Emperor Jiaping, who was standing behind the desk, was in a trance.
It seems that in the blink of an eye, the child in front of him is still the little radish diced behind Concubine Gong, at that time he had a sad expression on his face, he is obviously a very young child, but it seems to contain countless thoughts.
But now, this child is so tall in the blink of an eye, and the former shrinking has been swept away, and it has become a young man's unique spirit.
Time is really emotional.
Emperor Jiaping paused, stepped forward to personally help Chu Tingchuan up, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Well done!" He is worthy of being my son, and he has not fallen into my majesty! ”
This was the first time in his impression that he had expressed his praise for himself so clearly, Chu Tingchuan was a little flattered, and immediately revealed this feeling from his face, pursed his lips and shouted as if he was a little aggrieved: "Father!" ”
Father.
This title came out of his mouth, and it made Emperor Jiaping in a trance.
What the Queen Mother said was, whether you like it or not, no matter what happened in the past, the son in front of him is his most capable son, Emperor Jiaping's heart was touched unconsciously, and the balance in his heart finally tilted towards this son, he hummed and pinched Chu Tingchuan's shoulder: "I know that you have been wronged." ”
As he spoke, he sat back at his desk, raised his eyebrows and glanced at Chu Tingchuan: "Tell me, what happened to your assassination?" Are those people going for Zhu Yuan or you? ”
Chu Tingchuan knew that Emperor Jiaping was already suspicious of the Xu family at this time, and he also knew that the secret letters in Pan Quan's hand, Emperor Jiaping, had already read them.
He had already figured out his rhetoric in his heart.
Therefore, as soon as Emperor Jiaping asked, he frowned and said: "Nominally, it is aimed at Zhu Yuan, but looking at that posture and the weight of the manpower used, Erchen feels that it should still be aimed at Erchen." ”
Oh, yes.
Emperor Jiaping sneered in his heart.
Jin Qiong has spent a lot of effort to contact those pirates and thieves who helped sell the stolen goods to Nanyang and Dongying before, if they are extremely vicious, how can such a big deal just be to deal with a woman?
The Xu family's mind is really amazing.
He sat on the throne with a gloomy face, and only after a long time did he raise his eyebrows slightly, without revealing anything, and said to Chu Tingchuan: "That's it, let's not talk about these things first, I will find out these things and give you justice, you go and see the old lady and the queen first, they all remember you very much." ”
Chu Tingchuan hurriedly responded, and when he said this, he looked at Emperor Jiaping with some hesitation, with a blank and worried face: "Father, the son heard in a trance that the queen mother is unwell?" She ......"
The matter of the abolition of the year ago was rumored, and it was also in the Di newspaper, and Chu Tingchuan would know that there was nothing strange about it.
Emperor Jiaping didn't think much about it, and saw that Chu Tingchuan was just very uneasy, so his voice softened: "She is also an old problem, narrow-minded people are like this, it is easy to get sick at the slightest trivial, you don't have to worry, you go to ask for peace, I'm afraid she will be half better." ”
Listening to this tone, Empress Wei's status is only afraid that it will be okay for a while.
Chu Tingchuan knew it, and he also knew it in his heart, he looked relieved, thanked him gratefully, and went to the Queen Mother's palace to say goodbye first.
The Queen Mother has been waiting for him for a long time, Aunt Weng personally came to welcome him in, and said with emotion: "Your Royal Highness has been going for half a year, looking taller and stronger, the Queen Mother has been talking about you, I heard that you are going to arrive today, I couldn't sleep all night last night, tossing and turning, let me wait for you here early." ”
Chu Tingchuan smiled on his face, and thanked Aunt Weng affectionately for her suggestion.
Compared with Concubine Gong and the queen, Chu Tingchuan stayed with the queen mother for a longer time, and was influenced by the queen mother more, so the queen mother's concern for him was sincere, and his respect and trust for the queen mother were the same.
He walked into the palace of the Queen Mother in three steps and two steps, only to see the Queen Mother and knelt heavily on the ground with her robe lifted: "My grandson has seen the old lady, and my grandson has kowtowed to the old lady!" All the best, old lady! ”
The Queen Mother showed a moving look on her self-holding face, and she couldn't help but nod a little choked: "Good boy, good boy!" Get up! ”
Helping Chu Tingchuan up, the Queen Mother beckoned Chu Tingchuan to her side, looked at him carefully for a while, and then said with a smile: "It's taller, it's darker." But it's good, and it's refreshing to look at. ”
The care from the elders is always ironing in people's hearts.
Chu Tingchuan let the Queen Mother look at him with peace of mind, and then said in a low voice: "Grandson let you worry." ”
The Queen Mother shook her head: "What is this?" She has done a lot of foolish things in her life, but she is also a poor person, if she really wants to worry about her all the time, then she really can't get along with herself. After all, this time she really learned a lesson, she should always know how to restrain in the future, don't be soft-hearted, it's not your fault, her temper will suffer this loss sooner or later. ”
Chu Tingchuan's heart was indescribable.
Empress Wei's hand is indeed too long.
She cares about everything she wants, and even plans to manipulate his marriage, which he can't accept.
So he knew that he was giving Mrs. Xu a chance, and he deliberately exposed this flaw, so that Empress Wei could suffer some setbacks.
It's just that this setback seems to be a little bigger than expected.
He nodded and said in a low voice: "Grandson went to see her, and asked the queen mother to come back to eat with you." ”
When Chu Tingchuan came back, there should be a palace banquet to celebrate in the evening.
At noon, he was able to accompany the Queen Mother to eat.
The Queen Mother laughed, and said with a sigh: "Go ahead, I'll talk about the rest later, I know everything." ”
Chu Tingchuan was very grateful, kowtowed to the Queen Mother, and went to Empress Wei's palace.
Compared with the atmosphere in the Empress Dowager's palace, the unprecedented depression in Empress Wei's palace was unprecedentedly depressing, and when he came, this stagnant water could be regarded as a little moved.
