Chapter 402
Qi Jingqin stopped the pen in his hand and looked up at He Yu, it was obvious that Qi Jingqin didn't know that Liang Huanqing would do this, she was so heartbroken that she died in the past, how could she punish others now.
Qi Jingqin smiled and said to He Yu: "The crown princess is also really temperamental. β
He Yu also smiled and nodded, in their opinion, Liang Huanqing mourned Shen Tuchen, but just because he had saved her life, they knew what kind of person Liang Huanqing was, not like others, listening to the wind and rain, and even believing this kind of words.
Qi Jingqin waved his hand, motioned for Lord Yin of Jingzhao Mansion to go down, put down the pen in his hand, closed the fold, and rubbed his sore neck.
When He Yu saw him like this, he stepped forward to beat his shoulder, and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must pay attention to rest, and don't leave old diseases." β
It is not unreasonable for He Yu to suddenly say this, the first emperor died because of a long-term illness, Qi Jingqin and Qi Bingyu, when it comes to work, they will even forget to eat, how can it go on like this?
He Yu came to tell him these words as soon as he was free, just like his master had always told the first emperor, I only hope that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can really listen to these words, and he will not regret it when the time comes.
He Sheng will secretly wipe his tears when he hears the first emperor now, he has served the emperor all his life, it is good anywhere, but he is too stubborn, he always insists on going his own way, the death of Empress Mingxian hit him too hard, and he never took his body seriously when he was young, so it caused such an ending now.
He Sheng asked He Yu to take care of His Royal Highness the Prince, don't let him go the way of the first emperor, these father and son are too similar.
He Yu has also been worried and scared because of this matter, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not yet ascended the throne, and now he is also in his prime, but because he is too scared, he has been telling behind him.
Qi Jingqin knows all this, but now that there are many state affairs, he is really lacking in skills, and he can't help himself, so he can only go with the flow, and every time He Yu says this, he doesn't speak.
"Hasn't the concubine come out yet?" Qi Jingqin suddenly thought of Mei Guifei Niangniang, since the imperial tomb came back, the mother concubine has been locked up in the Yichun Palace and not come out, I thought she could help maintain the enthronement ceremony, but according to the current situation, it can only be to let Liang Huanqing keep an eye on it more.
He Yu shook his head and said, "Not yet, but I started to eat three meals a day normally, not like before." Mei Guifei's feelings for the first emperor are really good, as soon as the first emperor leaves, the mother is like this, she really wants to move the heavens. β
"What's the use of moving the heavens, everything that should have happened has happened." I don't know why, Qi Jingqin always felt that the concubine's behavior was not mourning, but more like repentance, as for what he was confessing, he didn't know, but he always felt that something was wrong, and he couldn't see what was wrong.
"Send more things to Yichun Hall to appease, I'm busy with affairs now, and I don't have time to see my mother, please take care of her more." Qi Jingqin's fingers knocked on the table for a while, he didn't want to go to Yichun Hall to see Xia Rongxin, he had been out of the palace for so many years, and he really had nothing to say to his mother, but after hearing about today's events, he was thinking about whether to go to Qianning Palace to see Liang Huanqing.
"Hey." He Yu nodded in agreement.
Wisps of cigarettes floated from the incense burner on the table, Qi Jingqin closed his eyes and rested with his head up, there were still uncountable folds in front of the table that needed to be reviewed, the enthronement ceremony was imminent, and most of them were congratulatory messages, but Qi Jingqin also had to look at them one by one, reply one by one, and naturally get tired after a long time.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the Crown Princess asks to see you."
Just when Qi Jingqin was thinking about Liang Huanqing, he suddenly heard the news of her coming, so he slowly opened his eyes and glanced at He Yu, He Yu nodded, trotted to open the door, and welcomed the princess in.
Liang Huanqing was really worried that Qi Jingqin would misunderstand her because of listening to rumors, she has lived in the deep palace for a long time, she has all the rights, she can kill people to curb the rumors in the palace, and the rumors outside the palace can't disturb her, with Liang Fengmian Liang and Qin Yuandao outside, hearing the rumors is not good for her, she will naturally deal with it, Liang Huanqing is not worried about this.
What I was most worried about at the moment was what Qi Jingqin would think of her because of this, and after hesitating in Qianning Palace for an afternoon, I couldn't figure out what Qi Jingqin would think of her.
To be honest, even if Liang Huanqing is Qi Jingqin's wife, she has accompanied him through so many ups and downs, but she really doesn't know much about him, and the time the two stay together is not as long as He Yu stays by his side.
In this way, Liang Huanqing can't be regarded as understanding Qi Jingqin at all, so Liang Huanqing doesn't dare to speculate about the changes in his heart.
Tang Xue and Fucai saw that the crown princess was so hesitant, and they were also anxious in their hearts, so they said: "Niangniang, if you really want to know what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is thinking, instead of being anxious here, it is better to ask directly, you have been thinking here like this, when will you come up with something?" β
Liang Huanqing thought that what they said was right, so he hurried to the Qinzheng Palace.
When He Yu came out to greet him in person, Liang Huanqing sighed in his heart, no matter how he was, he was a person who had seen many scenes, but He Yu came out in person, Liang Huanqing still couldn't guess what Qi Jingqin was thinking.
He Yu is a person with seven tricks, he knows that the crown princess is here because of this matter, but it is not so difficult to guess, Liang Huanqing only executed those five people this morning, and this matter has been rumored recently, He Yu saw that Jingzhao Mansion Yin said this, so he planned to say it together, this kind of thing is not something that can be said nonsense, if it is He Yu, he should also worry about what Qi Jingqin should think when he hears this rumor.
Those rumors are half-true, Shen Tuchen's suicide is indeed related to Liang Huanqing, but it is not directly related, Liang Huanqing is indeed mourning Shen Tuchen, but it is not enough to think that the two have had an affair, half-truth, so they began to worry.
"Princess, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince invites you in." He Yu said with a smile.
Liang Huanqing nodded slightly, followed He Yu in, and walked to the middle of the hall, Liang Huanqing didn't look up at Qi Jingqin, and then lowered his head and saluted: "The concubine pays a visit to His Royal Highness the Prince." β
"Flat, give a seat." Qi Jingqin's voice was neither salty nor light, calm and quiet.
Liang Huanqing sat in the seat after thanking him, although the two were husband and wife, but for some reason, they were speechless to each other now, and there was nothing to say.
After a long time, Liang Huanqing broke the silence: "Has His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had dinner?" β
After saying this, Liang Huanqing regretted it in his heart, why did he ask such embarrassing words, he couldn't wait to slap himself a few times as soon as he said it.
Liang Huanqing has always been a calm and self-controlled princess in the eyes of everyone, but in Qi Jingqin's eyes, for some reason, he felt that Liang Huanqing's appearance was really strange, and his stupid appearance before the start looked more pleasing to the eye.
Qi Jingqin knew in his heart that he didn't want Liang Huanqing to have too much power in his hands, now her father and brother have the power of the sky, and Prime Minister Qin Yuandao has always helped them, if even Liang Huanqing also holds power, then whether it is the harem or the previous dynasty, it is firmly controlled by the Liang family.
Isn't this just walking in the footsteps of the first emperor? Qi Jingqin was reluctant to hand over the power in his hands to them, and even thought that after the enthronement ceremony, he successfully became the emperor and sat on the throne, so he tried to reduce the power of Qin Yuandao and Liang Fengmian, so that he would not have to be restrained by them.
Although he was able to ascend the throne smoothly, relying on the help of the Liang family and the Qin family, but one yard is one yard, Qi Jingqin will not treat them badly, but they can't be high-ranking masters, the imperial power must be supreme, and courtiers can only be courtiers.
Qi Jingqin just smiled and exchanged a simple greeting with Liang Huanqing, they all have arrangements in their hearts now, Qi Jingqin wants to weaken the power of Liang Fengmian and Qin Yuandao, even if he is gentle with Liang Huanqing, but there is also some more guard, he believes that Liang Huanqing will not have an affair with Shen Tuchen, that is because this kind of words are too naΓ―ve, he knows the truth, so he believes it, not because he has a strong emotion for Liang Huanqing.
But Liang Huanqing's side, thinking about consolidating his own power, so that he could better deal with Qi Jingyang and win over Zhao Zexun, just because he wanted Qi Jingqin to have more and better supporters, so that he would not be as isolated as he was at the beginning.
Zhao Zexun is the person Qi Jingyang also wants to woo, he is the king of the opposite sex, and Qi Jingyang's father-in-law, if it is according to common sense, he intercedes for Qi Jingyang to let Qi Jingyang return to the court, then Qi Jingqin is not easy to refuse, Zhao Zexun's contribution to the Celestial Empire is no less than Liang Fengmian, if it is according to qualifications, Liang Fengmian will also call Zhao Zexun a senior.
The importance of Zhao Zexun, Liang Huanqing thought of it immediately, and thought about quickly winning Zhao Zexun's hearts for Qi Jingqin.
After a simple greeting between Qi Jingqin and Liang Huanqing, Liang Huanqing walked out.
Tang Xue hurriedly greeted her and asked, "Crown Princess Niangniang, how is it, has His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said anything?" β
Liang Huanqing walked down the steps, suddenly stopped, looked back at the slowly closed door of the Qinzheng Palace, she suddenly felt a trace of desolation in her heart, she knew that Qi Jingqin didn't take this matter to heart, but Qi Jingqin was actually wary of her, Liang Huanqing could feel it.
It's a little sad to think about it like this, as Qi Jingqin's power grows bigger and bigger, Liang Huanqing can feel more and more obviously that Qi Jingqin was good to herself in the past, just because she wanted to use the power behind her, and it has nothing to do with feelings, only she stupidly thought that he was really good to herself.
Tang Xue looked at the crown princess like this, and she didn't know what to say for a while, so she followed behind and didn't dare to speak.
Liang Huanqing watched the door of the Qinzheng Hall slowly close, and thought to himself: It's okay, it's good to have a clear conscience in what you do.
She will continue to plan better for Qi Jingqin, do her best to help him, prevent Qi Jingyang from harming him, help him stabilize the government, and do anything.
She used to sigh in her heart Mei Guifei's feelings for the foolish loyalty of the first emperor, but now that she is herself, it is the same, and unconsciously, she seems to be able to understand Xia Rongxin's mood.
Liang Huanqing turned around and walked back to Qianning Palace in obscurity, Tang Xue followed behind him silently, after entering the palace, there were countless worries every day.
Liang Huanqing looked up at the sky above her head, how will she live in the next few decades, she slowly touched her belly, it is impossible for her to be pregnant again, in the face of this problem, she is the same as Shen Tuchen treats her legs, and believes that there will be no better things, but she is not willing to work hard no matter what.
If you try it and know that this is the predetermined ending and fact, it should be a heavy blow, so it is better to do this first.
But in the deep palace in the future, no matter how many confidants Liang Huanqing has around her, she will still feel that she is always alone and alone.
After returning to Qianning Palace, Yuebai also came back from outside the palace, she saw Liang Lin and told him everything Liang Huanqing wanted to do, Liang Lin promised to help her deal with this matter, so that she could just relax in the palace and take care of her body.
"Did you tell the eldest young master about Zhao Zexun?" Liang Huanqing asked Yuebai while eating the fruit sent by Tang Xue.
Now that the weather is getting hotter and hotter, Liang Huanqing has to eat some chilled fruits every day, and she is particularly cold, even when she was in the General's Mansion.
Yuebai stood aside and nodded, and said: "Said, the eldest young master said that the king of Shuzhong will arrive before the enthronement ceremony, and now that the appointment has arrived in Jingzhou, not many people know that he came to Shangjing, the eldest young master asked the slave to ask you, when he goes to Shangjing, is he going to the general's mansion, or is he coming to the palace first?" β
Liang Huanqing put down the ice grapes in his hand, then picked up the handkerchief and wiped his hands, and said, "Of course, I came to the palace to greet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince first, wouldn't going to the General's Mansion let others speculate about our intentions?" Does Zhao Zexun know that the palace wants to see him? β
"Yes." Yuebai said truthfully.
"And he's still willing to come? I thought he was going to hate me. Although Liang Huanqing said this, he looked indifferent.
"The eldest young master said that the king of Shu blamed Zhao Peiyu's death on the head of the prince of Song, and he has always looked down on the prince of Song." Yuebai said.
Zhao Zexun...... He knew that the person was sent by Liang Lone, what is the relationship between Liang Lone and me, even if Zhao Zexun is a fool, he shouldn't say those words in front of the envoy, not to mention that he is not stupid, who is in power now, he knows it in his heart. Liang Huanqing said lightly.
"Then the crown princess, what do you mean, the king of Shu is to blame you?" Yuebai asked cautiously.
"Zhao Zexun lost his beloved daughter, Zhao Peiyu became a victim of the prince's rivalry, it stands to reason that Zhao Zexun should blame the unfairness of this world, blame Zhao Peiyu for not having a long brain." Liang Huanqing didn't make it clear, she didn't know what kind of temper Zhao Zexun was, so she could only guess like this.
All in all, there is still work to be done to get Zhao Zexun to help them willingly and stand in the camp on their side.
"One more thing, mother." Yuebai said, "When the slave maid left the palace today, I saw the envoys of the Southern Qi Kingdom in the restaurant, their clothes were too obvious, but the Southern Qi Kingdom was not on the invitation list, and they were not friends with the Celestial Empire, so they didn't know what they were here for, they looked sneaky." β
