Chapter 221: The Empress is grounded
Early the next morning, the crown prince and Huo Lingxiao arrived outside the academy at the same time.
"The third brother came really early." The prince opened his mouth coldly, and his tone was full of unhappiness.
Huo Lingxiao nodded, and greeted the prince politely: "His Royal Highness the prince came down very early, I think I am very interested in this selection." ”
The prince frowned: "You ......"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness the Third Prince."
The dean of the academy heard the news of the arrival of the crown prince and Huo Lingxiao, and hurriedly washed up and greeted the two of them.
The prince withdrew his gaze from Huo Lingxiao, but that expression looked unpleasant.
The dean raised a smile and let the two of them in.
However, after the dean said this, he waited for the two of them to leave, but he didn't expect that the two of them seemed to be competing, and neither of them moved.
"Uh...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Third Prince, please, I have prepared tea for the two of you, if there is anything, let's go in and say. ”
The dean of the academy spoke first, inviting two people, and he didn't know what the situation of the two people was, and he didn't see the two people move after speaking, so he had no choice but to stand with them.
The cool breeze in the morning blew over, and the dean came out in a hurry, and he didn't wear too thick clothes, so he couldn't help but shiver, but the other two people didn't move, and they didn't even frown.
After standing dry and blowing the cold wind for a while, the dean wanted to speak again, and saw Ah Fu hurrying from afar.
"Father-in-law Fu."
The dean saluted Ah Fu, who was an old man and a big celebrity in front of the emperor.
He is a very vocal person in the palace.
Ah Fu first glanced at Huo Lingxiao quietly, and then took out the holy decree with an indifferent expression.
"The crown prince, the third prince and the dean of the academy receive the order." Ah Fu Xuanzhi's voice, with the unique tone of the eunuch, came into the ears, making people feel uncomfortable when they sounded.
"Obey." The dean knelt down on the ground first and accepted the will.
The crown prince and Huo Lingxiao had already agreed with the emperor in advance, and knew the content of the will, the two of them glanced at each other, and then spoke at the same time: "Erchen accepts the order." ”
The crown prince and Huo Lingxiao had received the emperor's decree, and there was no need to bow down, so only the dean knelt on the ground for a while.
Ah Fu opened the holy decree: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, because the monthly examination of the academy is imminent, the two sons of me, with noble status and extraordinary ability, have made a special decree to let the two supervise the monthly examination." ”
After taking a breath, he relieved himself for a moment and continued to read out the holy decree: "And because there are many idle people in the two people's mansion, so as not to distract the two people, I hereby decree that from now on until the end of the monthly examination, stay in the academy, and without my will, it is forbidden to leave the academy." ”
"The dean is responsible for the daily life and daily life of the two people, and there must be no mistakes, so I admire this."
Ah Fu took the decree over: "You guys, take it." ”
However, the crown prince clenched his fists and suddenly asked Ah Fu: "Yesterday, my father didn't say that he wanted us to stay in the academy. ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, this is all the emperor's will, and the servants have no right to change it."
When Ah Fu came, he was told by the emperor that the prince might react, so he was not too surprised in the face of the current situation.
"It's nonsense, my father is full of words, how can he do something that goes back on his word!"
Huo Lingxiao gave a cold warning: "His Royal Highness the Prince, speak carefully. ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, don't be angry, if you have any objections to this matter, you can go and tell the emperor, the slave is just a messenger."
After Ah Fu finished speaking, he handed the holy decree upwards again: "A few people, please accept the decree now." ”
"The retainers take the order."
"Obey."
Ah Fu handed over the holy decree to Huo Lingxiao, and then said respectfully to a few people: "Then the slave will retire first." ”
"Father-in-law walks slowly." The dean looked at Ah Fu and said respectfully.
Ah Fu looked at the prince and Huo Lingxiao without any other expressions, and slowly stepped back and left.
"Is there such a thing?" The queen heard the debriefing say.
couldn't help but stand up and walk back and forth in the room: "What does the emperor mean by this." ”
After thinking about it for a while, I couldn't guess what the emperor meant, I felt that something was wrong, and I wanted to meet him.
"Your Majesty, the Empress is here." Ah Fu came in from outside and reported to the emperor.
The emperor could guess the queen's intention, and let Concubine Yao in his arms leave first: "Let her in." ”
"Your Majesty, I heard that you asked the crown prince and the third prince to go to the academy to invigilate, don't you know what happened a few days ago, not to mention, the concubine also heard that you let the two of them stay overnight, what do you mean by this."
Listening to the queen's attitude, the emperor was not satisfied, and his face showed anger: "The queen is talking to me like this now!" ”
"The concubine is just in a hurry, she made a mistake, and I hope the emperor will forgive her sins." The queen just saw Concubine Yao, and she was out of proportion for a while, which shouldn't be, so she reacted and immediately admitted her mistake.
The emperor seemed to be smiling: "I am anxious for a while, but the queen's news is very well-informed." ”
"The concubine is just too concerned about the prince, and there are some things he is doing wrong now, and he still needs me to take care of them."
The emperor has always felt that the prince has not done anything over the years, all because of the queen: "The prince is already so old, he can't take charge of anything alone, where do you still need you." ”
"The emperor's words are wrong, the prince ......"
The emperor didn't want to listen to the queen, or even the queen's voice: "Okay, I don't want to hear you say this, you came to me to question me?" ”
"The concubine doesn't dare, the concubine just wants to see and ask you, what does this mean, the concubine doesn't dare to blame you, but, the emperor, what is left of the original love for you now." The queen looked at the emperor, recalled the feelings of the past, and felt helpless and desolate.
The last thing the emperor wanted was to listen to the queen mention the previous things, and didn't answer her: "If the queen has nothing to do, send her back, Ah Fu, send the queen." ”
"You don't have to chase me."
The queen doesn't dwell on what happened just now, she needs to fight for honor or anything, and the most important thing is: "The concubine asks the emperor to take back her fate."
"I have already spoken, there is no possibility of taking it back, the queen should not waste her thoughts."
The emperor stood up: "Since the queen doesn't want to leave, then I will leave first, and the queen will do her own." ”
As she spoke, she was about to leave, and the queen shouted: "Your Majesty, don't be fooled by Concubine Yao, she is not as good as she thinks outside!" She's just ......"
"Queen!"
The emperor looked at the queen's appearance and became more and more impatient: "Queen, don't forget what your identity is!" It's just a brain! ”
"It's clear that the emperor is that you are confused by a slut, so you can be so indistinguishable from wrong!"
As soon as the words came out, the queen regretted it, she would be very cautious in the past, and today she doesn't know what's wrong.
The emperor laughed angrily: "The queen is really going back more and more, if I don't distinguish between right and wrong, do you think you can have a free life now!" You think I don't know about the little actions you did! ”
"If I hadn't been thinking about my previous feelings, I wouldn't have been able to bear you a long time ago!"
The queen wanted to explain, saying that she was just unintentional for a while, but she knew that she didn't believe it when she said it, let alone the emperor.
"The queen is now emotional, and her ability is insufficient, from today onwards, she will be separated from the phoenix seal, confined to the palace, and no one else will be allowed to enter for interviews."
"Your Majesty, do you listen to the concubine's explanation......"
The emperor left without looking back, no matter how the queen shouted, he didn't look back.
The news spread quickly, and the first one to know was Concubine Yao, Concubine Yao laughed, was in a good mood, and even rewarded the palace maids around her with something.
"This queen really died by herself, knowing what the emperor hates the most, but she still wants to do something."
"Niangniang, Father-in-law Fu is here."
Concubine Yao knew that Gonggong Fu would come this time, and it must have been announced, and it was very likely that it was what she wanted.
calmed down and walked out, Gonggong Fu took out the holy decree, and Concubine Yao and the other palace maids all knelt on the ground and accepted the decree.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: Now the queen is out of proportion, remove the phoenix seal, hand it over to Yao Guifei as an agent, manage the entire harem, if you encounter an unconvincing situation, you can deal with it first and then report."
Ah Fu rolled up the holy decree and handed it to Concubine Yao.
"The concubine will take the order." Ah Fu reminded.
Concubine Yao hurriedly spoke: "The concubine takes the order." ”
I got the right I wanted, and although I knew that it would be me, I was still surprised when the decree was given.
"It's hard for my father-in-law to make a trip." Concubine Yao gave the palace maid a look, and the palace maid handed over the prepared red envelope to Father-in-law Fu.
Gonggong Fu was not polite, this kind of thing is common in the palace, Gonggong Fu was at ease, and said two auspicious words to Concubine Yao, which made Concubine Yao even happier.
Concubine Yao asked Huo Zeyu to call him back and tell him a few words.
The queen was grounded, and Huo Lingxiao and the crown prince also received the news one after another.
The crown prince still wanted to go to the emperor, but before he could leave, he was stopped by his subordinates: "Your Royal Highness the prince, don't be impulsive." ”
Soon, the queen's people also came here, and the prince asked anxiously, "How is the queen mother?" ”
"Don't worry, the crown prince is fine, I'm afraid that you will be in a hurry and act recklessly, so let's tell you first......"
Under the persuasion of his subordinates and the people sent by the empress, the prince decided to protect himself and stayed in the academy.
Late at night:
Huo Lingxiao came to where Wei Xiyue was, because he told Wei Xiyue in advance, so he hadn't slept at this time.
"I'm now appointed as an invigilator."
Wei Xiyue had already known the news, and nodded after hearing it: "I heard it, you are with the prince." ”
"Yes, I just want to talk about this matter today, I will find a way to contain the prince, and you can take the exam with peace of mind." Huo Lingxiao said.
Wei Xiyue didn't have to worry about it, but with Huo Lingxiao, she didn't have to be distracted.
Huo Lingxiao told Wei Xiyue about today's events in the palace.
Most of Wei Xiyue's news was heard by Huo Lingxiao here, listening to him and thinking.
"What do you think about this?" Huo Lingxiao asked Wei Xiyue's opinion.
