Chapter 16: Watch Him Act
Hearing the report, the three of them all looked at the people who came in.
I saw Chen Baixian's panicked look, and as soon as he entered the hall, he was about to drag Chen Rongan to kneel on the ground, "The guilty minister sees the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live!" ”
"Hehe," the person on the high position did pull the corners of his mouth, as if he didn't know anything, and asked, "What is Wu Anhou's crime?" ”
The corners of Chen Baixian's eyes trembled, his legs were a little weak, the emperor's heart was deeper than the sea, even if he followed him for many years, he still couldn't see through one of them.
Chen Rong'an next to him breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Chen Jintong had entered the palace, and then announced their father and son, just thinking that she is now meritorious, I am afraid that she will have to settle the new accounts and old accounts together, and she must have complained to the emperor.
"The criminal failed to fulfill his father's duty, and let his own flesh and blood wander out for many years; failed to fulfill his responsibilities as a husband, so that the insiders committed the crime of inappropriate words and deeds, and almost beat their own daughter to death; And committed the crime of lax governance of the family, which made the dog greedy and committed such a big mistake. Chen Baixian knew that he couldn't escape punishment, so he opened his mouth and picked up a few things on the bright side and listed them.
The emperor quietly sneered in his heart: "This old fox! This is said simply, as if he really admitted his mistake and left nothing, but in fact, it was simplified to the point that there was no big sin, and in other words, it was a problem of his negligence.
At this time, I heard the little eunuch pass the word, Queen Chen came with a group of maidservants, only to hear the ring, and saw that the person in front untied a carmine fur, revealing a light red smoke skirt, obliquely inserted a pair of dragon and phoenix hairpins, black and thick long hair curled into a bun, and walked in with a dignified and steady demeanor.
This is an era of three wives and four concubines, although women have no real power, but the division of labor is clear within the male protagonist, the main thing in the family is the wife, the wife is generally quite high, and looks down on those who are charming and delicate, and they are coy, but some people are just like this, so they are mostly concubines.
This is the first time Chen Jintong has seen the legendary queen, in her cognition, the ancient queen is generally the existence of a good wife and mother, but she has heard that the current saint is very fond of the queen, and she has already acquiesced in her heart that Queen Chen is a peerless beauty who "looks back and smiles at a hundred beautiful people, and the six palaces have no color".
That figure can indeed be called "the waist is like a stream, and the fingers are like peeling onion roots", but the face is not clear enough.
Before seeing the queen's honor, she saluted with the support of the palace maid, and then rested, at first glance, the wound was like a more heart-wrenching pain, and finally eased up, but saw the queen coming straight towards her, she was a little confused in her heart, what is this for?
Before the person could react, the other party had quickly shook her hand and greeted: "This is my sister!" My sister really can't live with you, and let my sister suffer so many sins in vain. ”
Chen Jintong's body at this time was only sixteen, and he was frail and sickly when he was young, so he was half a head shorter than Queen Chen.
Looking up at the person in front of him, he only saw a graceful posture, but now he looks closely, with a goose egg face, willow eyebrows, and a middle and upper nose bridge, which is not considered a celestial posture. The victory is that the skin is like condensed fat, a pair of Ruifeng eyes, the eyes are slender, the tail of the eyes is elegantly slightly upturned, and the eyes are light and flowing without moving, charming and charming.
"The queen's mother's body is ten thousand gold, and it is the people's daughter who is guilty and makes the mother sad." Seeing that the queen's eyes were not as worried as she said in her words, Chen Jintong replied lukewarmly, and withdrew his hand by saluting.
But seeing that Chen Baixian also licked his face and leaned over: "Tong'er, it's that my father is useless, I couldn't stop your mother (eldest lady) in time, and Tong'er suffered." As he spoke, he seemed to be very emotional, and reached out to caress Chen Jintong's cheek.
Chen Jintong is not the original owner, and he will look forward to Chen Baixian's fatherly love, looking at his false face, he is even more disgusted with his hand, and uses another uninjured hand to separate his hand, and replied unceremoniously: "My mother is dead, that's not my mother!" ”
"Tong'er, you can't say that, your little lady is dead, and the eldest lady is the main mother, so she can afford your mother." Chen Baixian pretended to be bitter, but in his heart he was calculating that he was going to poke Chen Jintong's sore spot, if only she could scold out loud and make the emperor angry.
Who knows, failing to do what he wanted, before Chen Jintong could speak, the people above the high hall opened their mouths and interrupted coldly, "Master Hou, these things are both state affairs and family affairs, can you allow me to say a word?" ”
Chen Baixian was so frightened that his legs were weak, and he immediately knelt down, and replied tremblingly: "Your Majesty, your words are tormenting the old minister, this matter is caused by the minister, if the emperor can preside over it, the old minister is grateful." ”
"Master Hou, let's get up first!" The emperor waved his hand and gave the seat, everyone thanked the seat, and the emperor spoke again: "In my opinion, since this matter is true, let people recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors first!" Chen Baixian's heart was dark, he thought of something, and in an instant, he regained his obedient appearance, and said to thank him: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compassion, and when the old minister goes home, he will immediately call someone to welcome him back." ”
Chen Jintong was very depressed in her heart, what was there to do in that Hou Mansion, she didn't want to go back. After being silent, she pulled out a painful look and knelt down: "Your Majesty, the people's daughter doesn't want to go back, the people's daughter only asks Wu'an Hou to spare me a way to live, and remove me from the clan, the sky is high and the road is far away, and the two don't owe each other!" ”
Chen Baixian's blood surged in an instant, if he had been placed in the past, he would not care about her if he did not remove his clan membership, but now, even the emperor knows about this matter, and the city is full of wind and rain outside, if it is really as she wants, then he is not a cold-hearted person who is spurned by everyone, so that her dead mother will not be taken care of; Besides, if she really became a celebrity in front of the emperor this time, it would also be of great benefit to his Chen family; However, what is her identity, and she is not grateful to Dade for letting her go back, and she actually refuses in front of the saint. The more Chen Baixian thought about it, the more angry he became, but he quickly changed his attitude, and now was not the time to tear his face.
"Tong'er, I know that you resent your father in your heart, it was your father who didn't take good care of you......" Chen Baixian looked like a loving father, and he couldn't wait to squeeze out a few tears to meet the situation, "But Tong'er, you are the flesh and blood of the Chen family, how can your father let you suffer outside, Tong'er, don't worry, when you go back, your father will definitely compensate you well, and he will never let you be wronged again." Chen Baixian's emotions brewed up, and he looked more and more sincere.
Chen Jintong had a headache when he saw it, wanted to refuse, but hesitated a little, and glanced at the people present. The subordinates all bowed their heads and were expressionless; Chen Rongan had just been beaten by his father before he came, and he knew that he was wrong, and stood behind Chen Baixian like a quail; And the emperor and queen drank tea as calmly as a nobody; I looked at Dongfang Xuanze, who had watched the play for a long time, and saw that his eyes were clear like a pool of lake water, and he shook his head at her slightly.
