Chapter 36: Obstacles
Zhou Suizhi took the time to look up at her, with a smile on the corner of his lips, "It doesn't matter who is the emperor, I just want to protect the princess for you, she is your hope, isn't it?" ”
Xu Er was in a trance for a moment, looking at her husband under the lamp with a white face like jade, still handsome, as if there was no difference from the Tanhualang who "saw all the Chang'an flowers in one day" that day.
No matter how many years have passed, his creed in life is not to be loyal to the king, but to be loyal to her.
This night, Tang Feng slept very unsteadily. Today, I fought with King Rui only to find that he was no longer the gentle and polite prince in his impression, and his ambition that he had hidden for more than 20 years was finally revealed to the world, and he didn't even bother to pretend in front of people.
This is not a good sign. When a person's bottom line is lowered, it is difficult to predict what he will do.
It was almost dawn before Tang Feng fell asleep in a daze, and when she woke up again, there was a small palace maid kneeling in front of the bed, who was tirelessly calling her.
"Mother, it's time to get up."
"What time is it?" She felt that her eyes were a little unopen, tired, and had a headache.
"It's the fifth watch, and the court meeting is about to begin." The little maid helped her to sit up, washed her face with a warm handkerchief, then rinsed her mouth and changed her clothes.
didn't rest well all night, Tang Feng sat in front of the dresser and saw that she was ghosted, she closed her eyes and let the palace maids groom her. It's just that this palace maid was probably transferred from other places by King Rui, and she neglected to do this kind of delicate work, so she wiped out Tang Feng's sleepiness in three or two clicks.
"Mother, slave damned." She also knows that she is born with her hands, and she doesn't often groom the girls, so she doesn't have a serious start. Tang Feng trembled every time she frowned, and when she opened her eyes unhappily, she was even more frightened and quickly knelt down.
Tang Feng raised his hand and rubbed his scalp that was torn and hurt, and looked at her sideways, "Which palace were you from before?" ”
"Hui Niangniang, the slave maid is from the Huanyi Bureau, and she was only transferred to the Heart Cultivation Hall yesterday......"
Sure enough, King Rui changed people inside and out, and even the palace maids and eunuchs did not escape.
"Okay, slow down, slow down, stop picking up the hair of the palace, there is not much in the first place." Tang Feng glanced at her, turned around, and was facing the mirror.
If the little palace maid was amnesty, she quickly got up, no longer in a hurry, and combed her hair in a slow and orderly bun.
After finishing his makeup smoothly in the second half, Tang Feng stood up, looked in the mirror, and said, "The craftsmanship is okay, it's good to practice more in the future." ”
The little palace maid was overjoyed, clasped her hands, and said excitedly, "Thank you for your praise, the slave will definitely practice diligently in the future." ”
Tang Feng stroked his hair and smiled, and said, "Lead the way ahead." ”
"Mother, please come with the slave."
The little palace maid led Tang Feng to the side hall, and as soon as she sat down, she heard an adult shouting, "Rebel ministers and thieves, we will never recognize this Zen edict".
She was admiring in her heart, and she didn't know which loyal and courageous adult spoke up, and the next moment she heard an even more noisy voice.
"Oh no, Lord Chen hit the pillar!" There was a little eunuch at the door, and when he saw that the front hall was in a mess, he hurriedly came back to report it.
"Is it a big deal?"
"The blood of a brain is estimated to be alive."
Tang Feng listened to the conversation between the two, and felt bad in his heart.
It didn't take long for a group of forbidden soldiers with knives on their shoulders outside the side hall to trot over, presumably to maintain order at the court meeting.
Tang Feng got up and walked towards the wall between the main hall and the side hall, this wall is thin, and there is a door on the wall, although the door is locked, but you can also hear the movement next door.
"Although Your Majesty is young, he is also the crown prince of the first emperor, and the emperor is rightfully named! Now that Prince Rui is about to seize the throne with His Majesty's edict, isn't it in vain to disregard the laws of the country and the last wishes of the first emperor? ”
"Exactly! The prince's behavior is not easy to be a robber, how can he be worthy of the emperor's heavy responsibility! ”
"We only recognize Your Majesty, not the edict, if the prince wants me to be convinced, please ask Your Majesty to come out!"
"That's it, please release Your Majesty!"
"Please release Your Majesty!"
"Okay, since you have to listen to Your Majesty's Zen position with your own ears, then invite Your Majesty out." King Rui spoke.
Tang Feng's hands clenched unconsciously, she didn't know if the little emperor would be able to grasp this only opportunity. As long as he showed a little reluctance at the court meeting, Zhou Suizhi and the others would definitely be able to detect his true intentions.
In the front hall, the little emperor appeared accompanied by Xu Zhong.
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty!"
The courtiers were very excited, and watched him slowly walk to the front, and when he did not sit on the dragon chair, the courtiers noticed something.
"I'm a shallow learner, I'm still young, and I can't take on this heavy responsibility anymore." The little emperor's face looked very calm, "Since I ascended the throne, disasters of all sizes have continued, and wars have not been settled in various places. ”
"Your Majesty......" The courtiers were stunned, with unbearable faces on their faces.
The little emperor smiled slightly and looked at King Rui, "I entrust the country to Uncle Wang, hoping that Uncle Wang can calm the war and prosper in Daxia." ”
King Rui looked back at him, his face calm, and a smile in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, did King Rui threaten you to say this? You are the crown prince of the first emperor, and you are the rightful monarch of this Great Xia! Some ministers couldn't hold back their tears.
King Rui smiled and looked back, "Lord Fu, you don't recognize the edict just now, and now Your Majesty Jinkou Yuyan, you don't recognize it either." Why, do you want to disobey the divine will? ”
"Lord Rui, Your Majesty is your own nephew......"
"Lord Fu, this is entrusted by His Majesty, what does it have to do with this king?"
The matter has come to this point, and there is no way to get it back. The ministers looked at each other, swaying from side to side, and what His Majesty said himself, he couldn't still point to King Rui and say that he usurped the throne, right?
Zhou Suizhi took a step forward and said loudly, "The country admires Changjun, this is the autumn of critical survival, wars have broken out in various places, and the enemy army in Xining is pressing the border, since Your Majesty is located in King Rui, please also ask King Rui to ascend the throne as soon as possible!" ”
Now that the cabinet respects Zhou Suizhi, since he opened his mouth, the wavering hearts of the ministers have been biased.
King Rui looked at Zhou Suizhi, and his eyes were really full of appreciation. When everyone heard the news, many people stood up and seconded the proposal.
The little emperor's body shook slightly, gritted his teeth, and said nothing.
Tang Feng listened to the corner of the wall, and when Zhou Suizhi opened his mouth, he knew that the overall situation had been decided, and they couldn't do anything. King Rui, a wolf who had been imprisoned for more than 20 years, was finally released.
Maybe from tomorrow, she can't be called the imperial concubine, but will be renamed the imperial concubine. Tang Feng couldn't help but snort, she became the first concubine of the Great Xia Dynasty, then the first imperial concubine, and in the near future, she will be the imperial concubine. She is only twenty-five years old, but she seems to have finished someone else's life.
The thrilling court meeting dispersed, but King Rui seemed to have forgotten that there was Tang Feng, and he didn't let her show up or let her out of the palace.
In the evening, Princess Rui came.
"The concubine asks for peace to the mother." She still looked so gentle, smiling and greeting Tang Feng, as if she was not affected by her husband at all.
But husband and wife are one, how could she be completely unaware.
"The princess is polite, it should be the palace to greet you soon." Tang Feng tugged at the corners of his mouth, bent down to stir the wick, and didn't even turn to look at her.
"Niangniang, what are you talking about, you are the concubine of the first emperor, only for others to say hello."
Princess Rui was not angry, sat opposite her, watched her cut the wick little by little, supported her chin and said, "Niangniang, it's almost over, if you cut it again, it will be extinguished." ”
Tang Feng glanced at her, put down the scissors, and sat back on the couch, "This palace really admires you, your prince has done such a big vote, but you seem to be fine." ”
"Huh." Princess Rui chuckled, her eyebrows and eyes were gentle, she was born in a family, dignified and virtuous, which could not be changed in a lifetime. Even in the face of Tang Feng's temper, she couldn't be too impatient or too arrogant.
"If Niangniang knew how I got over the years, it probably wouldn't be a surprise." Princess Rui thought to herself, "Since I married him, I have known that he is a person with great ambitions, so I must cooperate with him wholeheartedly." She needed my family background to open up the situation for him, so I wrote to my family to support him with all my might; He needs me to be a virtuous and generous princess, and I do the same, and I will give him a long face. Before marrying her, I at least knew that I was Gu Jiayuhe, but after marrying him, I only had the title of Princess Rui left. ”
