Chapter 201: Reminiscing about the Past
Under the hint of the queen, Zhang Song still insisted on opening his mouth like this, if he was not forced to be helpless, how could he be so decisive. The emperor couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly, and the empress was worried about the development of events.
And Xu Rulie was only angry and separated from Zhang Yuge, which was mentioned by the courtiers, which made him always high and pretentious, how could he bear it, he couldn't help but pinch it lightly with one hand, and almost couldn't help but want to make trouble with Zhang Song in court.
The queen noticed that Xu Rulie beside her was obviously impatient, and hurriedly asked the magpie to gently pull his sleeve to calm him down, Xu Rulie slowly retracted his gaze and coughed lightly.
"What Lord Zhang said is blaming His Highness for not being able to live well? It is true that His Royal Highness often ignores her feelings, but after this difficulty, His Highness must be more careful in the future, why should Lord Zhang insist so much. β
"Wechen don't dare, Wechen is afraid." Zhang Song listened to Xu Rulie's few words that were not painful or itchy, and his heart and mouth were as if he had been pinched tightly, and the words behind him were choked in his throat, and it was difficult to speak.
The expression on his face was buried deep in the shadows, and naturally no one would know how much pain he felt in his heart at the moment.
Wang Xulin glanced at him, although his age was the same as Zhang Shengge, the son of the Zhang family, but he was very mature and steady, he raised his head slightly, and his bold eyes were directly facing the emperor and empress.
"The Third Highness misunderstood, the Third Highness has always been busy, and he is valued by His Majesty, Yuge grew up at home as a father, mother and Master Zhang, Mrs. Zhang is pampered, she has always not known how to take care of people, how can she bother His Royal Highness to take care of her in turn?"
"Lord Zhang thinks he is guilty, and he doesn't dare to live up to the queen's intentions and expectations, so it is better to stop the loss in time, so that His Royal Highness can find a good fate as soon as possible."
Wang Xulin said neither humble nor arrogant, but in fact, the previous miscarriage was caused by the queen and Xu Rulie, and he already gave enough face and steps when he spoke like this.
The queen was not in a hurry, and she could hear that the Zhang family and the Earl's Mansion had a deep resentment against him, and she was busy pulling Xu Rulie, and said that she wanted to ease the relationship.
"Even so, no one in the villain's family grew up grinding each other. This palace knows that the Earl's Mansion and Lord Zhang are angry and don't know the severity of it, and it happens that Rulie is here today, so it is better to ask him to compensate the two families, and we will still be one in the future. β
"The Queen Motherβ"
Not to mention Zhang Song and Wang Xu Ling below, even the emperor was waiting for his Taizu, but he only stood quietly on the spot with his face, still as impatient and unhappy as ever.
Wang Xulin took all this in his eyes, couldn't help but hook the corners of his lips, and sneered, "Your Majesty, if you want His Royal Highness the Third Prince of Lao to apologize to us, I really don't dare to take it seriously, but Weichen only has one thing, I want to ask His Royal Highness for advice,"
"I heard that the day before yesterday, the Third Highness came to Lord Zhang's mansion, and originally said that it was good, but I wanted to come to visit Yuge, but for some reason there was a sudden conflict, and the Third Highness left angrily, but because of my uncle, they couldn't entertain His Royal Highness the Third Prince?"
This is the idea of Sister-in-law Hai, some words Zhang Song, as a party concerned, is inconvenient to speak, and it is more thought-provoking to be said by others.
Xu Rulie was stunned for a moment, he didn't know how to explain, it was impossible to say that he had a small belly and chicken intestines in front of the emperor, and he was driven away when he saw Su Jiao.
For a while, the entire hall was unusually quiet, Zhang Song and Wang Xulin lowered their eyes, and they couldn't tell that they were the informant.
The emperor thought very helplessly, he didn't want to deal with these trivial things in addition to business, he pressed it lightly on his temple with one hand, and sighed very much in his heart, but fortunately he still knew right from wrong.
"Alright, I know. The three princesses are not moral, but I am afraid that the eight characters and the three princes are not in harmony, so from now on, I will cancel the family affairs between the two of you, and in the future, men and women will marry, and they will not offend each other. β
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The voice had just landed, and Zhang Song, who had easily achieved his goal, hurriedly agreed as if he was afraid that the emperor would regret it.
The queen was full of disbelief, the emperor would ignore his own and Xu Rulie's face, such an easy decision, couldn't help frowning, and looked at the emperor with some grievances.
"Your Majesty, this-"
"Queen, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, I told you earlier, it's time for you to let go." The emperor obviously didn't want to waste his efforts on these trivial matters anymore, so he put on a serious and unquestionable expression, and looked back with the empress.
The empress was speechless, knowing that the emperor's order could not be changed, so she had to be forced to accept this decision.
Previously, because Xu Rulie was devoted to Su Lian's affairs, there was a lot of uproar in the city. Later, it was easy to marry Xu Rulie to a famous lady according to the queen's wishes, who would have thought that it would end like this again.
Although the emperor is mainly focused on the affairs of the court, he still cares a little about his own parents. He was extremely emotional at the moment, and even had some doubts about whether he shouldn't have listened to the queen's words and let Zhang Yuge marry in the first place.
After thinking about it, the emperor turned his head to look at the queen's obviously sullen side face, and after Zhang Song and the others retreated, he stood up and walked past the queen with his hands behind his back, and dropped a sentence leisurely.
"Queen, when will you become like this? - More like a real queen of the middle palace, but ......"
The emperor didn't finish the next words, but just the first half of his sentence was enough to stir up a thousand waves in the empress's heart.
The Empress was the best daughter-in-law chosen by the Empress herself, so no matter what the Empress did, the Emperor could not abandon her.
And at the beginning, the queen did have the posture of a true mother, noble, beautiful and kind, but I don't know when she became what she is now, and she can ignore right and wrong.
Speaking of which, in addition to the queen, there are not without virtuous people in the palace. For example, Lan Zhaoyi at the beginning, she was the daughter of the Ministry of Rites, she was the most humble and respectful, literate and hyphenated, and talented.
But it's a pity that I don't know who Lan Zhaoyi was framed by, which made her weak, and when she was pregnant with the second prince, she was even more malnourished, and the fetus was insufficient, and Xu Ruyu, who was also harmed, is now also a sick posture.
There are a lot of filthy things in the palace, and the emperor doesn't want to find out, but he doesn't want to investigate, and he doesn't want to destroy the peace on the surface, but if this chaos continues, the emperor doesn't mind having to investigate it thoroughly.
The emperor's thoughts turned a thousand times, and at night, looking out through the paper-made windows of the main hall, he could vaguely see the moon hanging high in the sky.
The shallow moonlight, like the hot porridge cooked by my mother when I was a child, and the steam of eggs and eggs rising on it makes people feel warm and nostalgic.
"Lan'er, if you are still ......" The emperor slowly retracted his gaze, lowered his head, and couldn't help muttering the name of the most gentle woman at the beginning, but at the same time, he suddenly remembered that Xu Ruyu, who was still recuperating in the royal courtyard on the outskirts of the city.
"Dequan!" Thinking of Xu Ruyu, the emperor suddenly came back to his senses, shouted outside, lifted the quilt and walked out of bed, and turned his head to sit on the soft couch next to him.
De didn't dare to sleep at all night, and as soon as he heard the sound, he hurriedly pulled a cloak and hurriedly covered the emperor.
"Ouch, Your Majesty, what are you doing so late? Be careful not to catch a cold, or put a cloak on it, otherwise this joint style will give the cool breeze at night a mess, which is terrible. β
Although Dequan has always admired the lineage and attached to the queen, he is also good to the emperor, otherwise the emperor will not tolerate him today, his face is full of distress, and the emperor's back and hands are covered, and then he squatted on the emperor's transformation and massaged his knees.
The emperor nodded, put a finger on his knee, and tapped it gently, "It's okay, I suddenly remembered that the marriage ceremony between Ruyu and the Peony County Lord should be coming soon." The matter between Rulie and the three princesses is over, but there is no one among the many sons under my knees who can respect his concubine like a guest. β
"Your Majesty, why did you suddenly remember this?" Listening to the emperor's words, Dequan somehow felt a little strange in his heart, although he believed that Xu Ruyu should not have a chance to be on the throne, but the emperor's attitude really had to be worried.
"What you said is that the fifteenth day of next month is the day of the full moon, the wedding of the second prince, although there is not much movement outside, but the Ministry of Rites has already begun to prepare a month ago, you don't have to worry so much at all."
"No, I have been ashamed of Lan'er and Ruyu for so many years, this is Ruyu's marriage event, and it affects the relationship between my two countries, I must personally supervise the process."
Lan Zhaoyi-Dequan felt as if she had been hit the head, and when she heard her name, she felt a little dizzy.
A concubine whose appearance is gradually aging, and she only relies on her last breath to survive in the harem, can still get Xu Hua's attention? !
The emperor said very seriously, it didn't seem like a joke at all, or it was a whim, he looked ahead and thought for a while, and then raised his hand, "Indeed, these bad things have happened with Li Jiner, and it's time to come to see the happy event."
"You personally passed on my orders to the Ministry of Rites, telling them to handle the wedding of the second prince well, no matter what they add or use, everything is directed to the best preparations, and they must report the latest situation to me every day."
The royal palace where Xu Ruyu lives is far away in the suburbs of the city, and he has to prepare for the wedding every day, and he has to rush back and forth to report the situation to the emperor.
