Chapter 440: The human heart is not enough, and the snake swallows the elephant
In the eyes of Nan Zuisheng, instead of offending Her Royal Highness the Queen by stealing nature, it is better to maintain a graceful confession, at least then the king will take care of the royal family's dignity, and will not be too ruthless, nor will he implicate the family relatives of the beautiful people too much, but now seeing them making such a fuss, even if the king wants to spare it, he can't at this moment.
Moreover, the king did not want to spare them in the first place.
Xu Shen stared at Limeiren's father, this person was once a courtier who was considered important by the king, but with the care of Jun's grace, this courtier gradually misbehaved, often secretly doing some transactions of entrapment and trading, balancing the power of the king from some details, so as to achieve the purpose of making his family more and more prosperous.
But they seem to have forgotten that the glory is given by the king, and that if the king takes back the glory, then what is the value of these people?
The relatives of the beautiful family before spoke earnestly, revealing the silent condemnation of Her Royal Highness the Queen, which had already made Xu Shen angry, these people were just courtiers, to put it mildly, but they were just puppets supported by the king and the entire royal family to contain other major families, what made them have the courage to condemn Her Royal Highness? !
I really don't know what to say.
Just when Xu Shen couldn't hold back and wanted to stand up and reprimand him harshly, the king shook off a sharp look, and after Sen Han's gaze shocked Xu Shen, the king lowered his eyes and looked at the position of the imperial concubine, revealing a dark and uncertain look, as if he was conveying some news.
In the face of such a cold warning look from the king, Xu Shen, as the crown prince, could only obey, but he couldn't swallow this breath no matter what, after all, Her Royal Highness the queen was his queen mother, and she was the supreme and noble woman of the entire Sakura country, why was she so silently condemned by these fly-like people in front of him? It's just a fatal presumptuousness!
Sensing Xu Shen's sudden change of expression, Her Royal Highness the Queen looked at her sister-in-law with some concern, only to see Xu Shen's extremely gorgeous face revealing an unconcealable angry look, and those bright eyes like stars stared at Limeiren's family as if they were about to breathe fire.
Her Royal Highness didn't need to think about it, she knew what her sister-in-law was angry about, her lips hooked slightly, and at the same time she felt relieved and warm in her heart, she also made the same warning look as the king. She naturally knows her son-in-law's intentions, but today's incident must not leave a ruthless image of the royal family in front of everyone.
It is important to show the majesty of the royal family, but it is also necessary to bestow some favors.
The combination of grace and power is the way of the emperor.
Otherwise, if it is just an iron-blooded autocracy, sooner or later these famous nobles will be driven to a dead end, and then they will attack the royal family. Only by giving both grace and power, and then giving a piece of candy after hitting a **, can they truly learn to be obedient and awe-inspiring, instead of only knowing fear and awe, but only lacking such a submissiveness.
In the final analysis, the real purpose of today's palace feast is for Xu Shen. Her Royal Highness the Queen's body has always been weak and sickly, because she was too exhausted when she gave birth to Xu Shen, so she inevitably left an incurable root of the disease. She knew that her time was short, so she had to do her best to pave the road to the future emperor for her sister-in-law, her only child.
Limeiren's family relatives are just a lamb that she and the king jointly selected, in order to let Xu Shen learn how to control his subordinates, and how to learn how to pick out those hungry wolves in sheep's clothing in the circle of this nobleman, and then find a suitable time to eradicate the suppression.
Her Royal Highness the Queen naturally knows the king's intentions, she was pregnant with Xu Shen when she became Her Royal Highness, from the day she gave birth to Xu Shen, the king immediately canonized Xu Shen as the crown prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the entire Sakura Kingdom, in order to make Her Royal Highness the Queen and her family feel at ease, and give Her Royal Highness a strong reliance.
For more than ten years, the king has been carefully teaching Xu Shen's imperial power skills, teaching this concubine how to become a qualified monarch, and the princes born to those concubines He has never taught this, but let them learn by themselves, to explore, and to fight with each other.
The king knew that he owed his wife too much, and even though he gave her all the glory of power and glory that Her Highness enjoyed, and many additional honors, he still could not melt the ice wall in Her Highness's heart. Over time, he had no choice but to put his hope on Xu Shen, hoping that this only concubine could become a qualified king and bring his wife real power to rely on.
In the final analysis, the emperor and queen are also poor.
Obviously, they can't forget the deep love between each other, and they can't forget the bits and pieces in the company of day and night, but the king was full of spirit and youth at that time, which broke the heart of Her Royal Highness the Queen. Now that he is already not confused, he is full of regret, no matter how much he tries his best to make up for Her Royal Highness, he will not be able to save that heart after all.
Love, hate, hatred, and obsession, just a dream.
Maybe when he dies and the queen dies, his wife will really dissolve the resentment in his heart. He is not worried that his wife will be lonely, because he has already secretly deployed the network forces to support Xu Shen, as well as the forces to protect Her Royal Highness the Queen.
Only in this way can the king settle down and perish with peace of mind in the future.
At the same time, Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine, who received the signal from the king's eyes, stopped shaking the feather fan gently, and when she heard the beautiful family's relatives pleading so loudly, Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine hooked up her red lips and smiled with great contempt: "Listen to this palace, why does it seem that Her Royal Highness the Queen is not generous enough, so why did Your Majesty not spare the beautiful woman?" ”
These words can be said to have broken the hustle and bustle in the hall in an instant, except for the painful pleas of the relatives of the Limei family, the whispers of the rest of the ministers and nobles disappeared in an instant, and they raised their eyes to look at Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine in gorgeous clothes, and their eyes showed a look of disbelief.
Although they also know that the family members of the beautiful people are crying wolf and howling, and there is a little bit of show in the appearance of tears, but in the end, they know these things in their hearts, after all, this kind of unspeakable caution, I believe that the royal relatives and nobles present also understand, so everyone did not say anything while watching the play.
Now that Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine said this, it can be said that she instantly tore off the mask on the face worn by the relatives of the Limei family, and dared to embarrass these people in front of the public, which is worthy of Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine who has been favored for a long time. If you change to the concubine next to you, you will never dare to do it anyway, for fear of getting into trouble.
The tears stained with makeup dried on the skin, the beautiful woman choked up when she heard the words, and the previous sorrow such as crying and runny tears instantly froze on her face, and for a while she didn't cry, she didn't cry, she could only raise her eyes to look at Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine, and the vicious accusations in her abdomen that wanted to spray thin were hindered by the identity of the other party, and she could only hold it in her chest and couldn't get out.
Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine admired the beautiful woman's expression nobly and calmly, only to see that the other party's face was blue and red, and the emotions such as sadness, anger and resentment changed back and forth, coupled with the makeup and eyebrows that were smeared on the skin, it was like the art of changing faces in Peking Opera, and it was called a relish for Her Royal Highness to appreciate.
Seeing that Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine actually played with herself like a monkey in the show, and admired it with great interest, her eyes were full of malice, and the beautiful mother must not be able to swallow this breath. She glared indignantly at the unsuccessful daughter beside her, and then straightened up and looked directly at the imperial concubine.
But before she could say anything, her husband, who was kneeling beside her, frowned and tugged at her sleeve, kowtowed to the king and explained: "Your Majesty, the old minister just loves his daughter very much, so he has lost his etiquette and humility in his words, if there is anything that offends Her Royal Highness the Queen, please don't blame Your Majesty." ”
Ho, what he said is really even more vicious than His Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine!
First of all, Limeiren's father didn't let his wife argue with His Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine about anything, obviously he looked down on the imperial concubine who was born as a court dancer, and thought that his wife was arguing with the other party It was really self-defeating, so he pulled his sleeve and shook his head to stop it.
Secondly, he kept saying that he lost his interests and humility between his words, but he embellished a sentence in front of this sentence 'love for his daughter', this family card can be said to be very clever, if the king really fell for this, it will make everyone feel that the king is not close to humanity and is too ruthless.
In the end, it was clear that the family members of the Empress Li's family silently condemned Her Royal Highness the Queen, and in order to prevent the Empress from being severely punished, they chose to openly argue with Her Royal Highness the Queen, and had committed the crime of trespassing, but when the Lady Li's father asked for the guilt, he only chose to bow to the king, not to the Queen or the emperor.
This is obviously no admitting mistakes, so they deliberately crossed the queen's highness, and extremely shamelessly blamed the reason for the trespass committed by the beauty people on the head of the queen, instead of reflecting on their own excessive favor and connivance of the beauty people in the past, which led to today's catastrophe.
Such a confused family, still dare to fly in the cherry country, show off their might, it is really a great courage and face, I am afraid that the bricks and stones at the corner of the ancient city wall of Xuanguo are not as thick as these people.
Sure enough, hearing the courtier's accusation like this, the king sneered, and said sarcastically: "I can't afford Qing's bowing and confession!" ”
A simple sentence instantly changed the faces of these people.
To be able to utter a word from a noble king is enough to prove that they have thoroughly angered the king, and aroused the king's suspicion. After all, the phrase 'can't afford it' really contains too many complicated meanings, which already reveal the king's dissatisfaction with them.
Before these people could continue to argue and beg for mercy in a cold sweat, Her Royal Highness said coldly: "Your Majesty can't afford to bow and confess, let alone this palace." Concubine Li had already committed the crime of trespassing, and the palace was magnanimous, so there was no ruthless punishment, but if you don't thank you, you still condemn the palace in words for not being merciful enough. ”
When Her Royal Highness the Queen is angry, the graceful and luxurious bearing in the past will instantly change into a cold and fierce one, perhaps to establish a magnanimous and benevolent image for too long, so long that these powerful ministers and nobles have forgotten the true means of Her Royal Highness the Queen, which makes the family members of the beautiful people so presumptuous.
Seeing that these people were panicked but still had to hold on to that stubborn embarrassed appearance, Her Royal Highness the Queen hooked her lips slightly, and smiled with contempt and disdain: "It seems that over the years, the honor that the royal family has bestowed on the Qing Dynasty has already corroded your minds. ”
