Chapter 182: The Queen's Birthday Banquet (2)
The queen began to prepare early in the morning, and the clothes were also customized months ago, and they were sewn for several months, and I don't know how many embroidery girls' eyes were boiled red.
But the queen was busy with Jiahe's affairs during this time, and later it was the second prince's business, so she didn't stop for almost a day, and she lost a lot of weight, and this dress was much bigger than when she was measured a few months ago.
The queen frowned, and suddenly felt unhappy, and saw that she was about to get angry, and the servants in this room were so frightened that they knelt on the ground.
Or did Mama Li come out to relieve the siege and asked someone to go down first to change the clothes, and then said, "When others arrive in autumn and winter, they all begin to stick to the fat, but our mother, who is still slender, where can you see that she is going to be a grandmother?" ”
The queen glanced at her, "With your mouth, you can really say that anything dead can be said to be alive." ”
Mama Li smiled, "Where is it, the old slave just has something to say, don't dislike the old slave." ”
The queen sighed, "This is not going well, even these clothes are not pleasant." ”
Mama Li rubbed the queen's shoulder, "Niangniang, it's because you're upset, that's why you think it's not good, it's not good." ”
The queen said, "How can this not be irritable, you say, today the palace sent someone to invite the emperor, will Your Majesty come?" ”
Mama Li said, "Why worry about Niangniang, today is Niangniang's thousand years, but whenever Niangniang speaks, Your Majesty always can't help but come." ”
The queen lowered her eyes, "Because of this, the palace didn't even let the second prince come." ”
I'm afraid that the emperor will see the second prince and remember the previous incident, and he will be in a bad mood again.
The queen is now at such an age, it is the day when she wants her children and grandchildren to be by her side, not to mention that Jiahe is not around, and now there is only one second prince, but the second prince has not been able to come.
This birthday banquet, in fact, she was very aggrieved.
"Niangniang, all these things you are doing now are valuable, as long as Your Majesty can forgive you and forgive the second prince, these grievances suffered by Niangniang can be regarded as rewarding."
The empress didn't know, but what she was worried about now was that even if she did, the emperor still didn't want to forgive her at all.
The more time passes, the queen's previous regrets and discomforts gradually fade, and now the queen is even thinking, is she really doing something rebellious?
Is it true that something has been done so excessively that it is so unforgivable that the emperor is so unforgivable?
It's hard to say about the queen, but now she is a little unhappy in her heart.
She and the emperor have been married for many years, but it is just because of a trivial matter between their sons, and the emperor has to make trouble until now, and everyone can't get off the stage.
She felt uncomfortable, and she couldn't accept it, but she couldn't say a word to the emperor, and she had to ask for the emperor's understanding.
What kind of banquet is this, the queen really doesn't want to deal with it at all.
Mama Li glanced at the queen and persuaded, "Niangniang, in the end, Qianqiu is also your good day, so don't be unhappy." ”
And on the morning of the birthday banquet, the queen changed several clothes and finally found one that she was satisfied with, but the whole person still looked not in a good mood, sighed leisurely, and then said, "Today, I'm afraid I'm going to see a lot of people I don't want to see again." ”
plum
Mama said, "Today is the mother's big day, so it's okay to make those people happy." ”
The queen said, "Jinyang is also coming today." ”
"Mother Qianqiu, she doesn't dare not come."
"You said before that she had a relationship with the eldest prince?"
Mama Li thought for a while, "But then the slave maid thought, maybe we misunderstood, I don't know." ”
The queen frowned, "What do you say?" ”
Mama Li said, "We heard that the two of them were relatively close before, and it happened that that time was the time when His Royal Highness the Second Prince had an accident, so we have this guess." ”
The queen nodded, "That's right. ”
"Something happened to His Royal Highness the Second Prince, they should be regarded as a complete victory, and at this time, they should get together and discuss it carefully, thinking about how to take advantage of the victory to pursue it, right?"
The queen thought for a moment and nodded in agreement, because if it was her, it would indeed be like this.
The concubine was grounded in the prince's mansion, how many good opportunities and time this is, if there is more operation in the court, there is still a lot of room for operation, in this way, whether it is the second prince or the queen, or even the whole mansion, it may be in danger.
But now everything is so peaceful.
"But after His Royal Highness the Second Prince had an accident, the eldest prince didn't enter the palace much, and even said that once he seemed to pass by Jinyang Palace to see the fifth princess, but the body of the fifth princess is indeed good or bad, and she can't even get up to see the eldest prince."
"Deliberately avoiding suspicion?"
"Whether it's deliberately avoiding suspicion or really not being in good health, after all, the two of them have no other contacts after that, perhaps, the direction we want to check is wrong."
The queen has always been obsessed with the matter of Jiahe, and there must be a delay in this, but now everything is her speculation, and she has not found any evidence at all.
"Niangniang, today is a good day, so don't worry about irrelevant people."
The queen exhaled softly, "The person who went to invite His Majesty has already returned, right?" ”
"Yes, I said it to my companion in person, and His Majesty is still discussing state affairs with the ministers, so I told my companion, who has always understood things, and said to my companion, and maybe my companion can help persuade me. It's not wrong. ”
The queen nodded, "That's right, Otomo is a person who understands." ”
Lu Cheng is so powerful, in fact, the people who serve the emperor, even if others dare not say anything in person, will always have some opinions about him behind his back, but they don't seem to have any opinions on Lu Cheng.
Even the queen felt that the eldest companion was an understanding person, and everyone felt that Lu Cheng would help them say a few words at such a time.
Of course, if it is in other people's affairs, Lu Cheng may occasionally slap his face, but in this matter, Lu Cheng will indeed stand on the queen's side to help say a few words.
He looked at the emperor looking at the official document with his head down, and he didn't know if he had listened to what he had just said, so he couldn't help but say again, "Your Majesty ......"
"Noise." The Emperor interrupted him, "Didn't you see me looking at the excerpts?" ”
Lu Cheng sighed, "Your Majesty, what do you mean, can the old slave still not know?" ”
The Emperor laughed, then put down the fold in his hand for the time being, "Really? So what do you say? ”
"Your Majesty is still angry with the queen mother, so you still don't want to give the mother this face?" Lu Cheng looked bitter, "But Niangniang is the mother in the end, she is the lord of the six palaces, she is the queen of the middle palace, no matter what, today is the mother of the millennium, it is really a big day of the first class, Your Majesty and Niangniang have been in trouble for many days, in fact, all the people in the harem are in their eyes, it is the first day of the new year of this month, Your Majesty has not entered Kunning Palace, which is already a great punishment for the queen mother." ”
The Emperor frowned at him, "Do you think that's enough?" ”
"It's long enough, Your Majesty, the queen mother is not the other mothers in the harem, they are half slaves after they enter the palace, but the queen mother is different, here Your Majesty she should be a wife, she should be a lady, Your Majesty can give the mother a little face, but it shouldn't be on such a big occasion to call the mother not to come to the stage."
The emperor's heart was already relaxed, but his mouth was still hard, "You will speak for her." ”
"The old slave is just standing in His Majesty's way of speaking, if this kind of thing continues to be left undealt with and fermented, the mother's face will be lost, this is the face of the mother of the country, and this will not be beneficial to Your Majesty."
The emperor took a sip of tea, "You would say, this is a set, I don't know, I think the queen has given you many benefits." ”
Lu Cheng smiled bitterly, "Even if Your Majesty hasn't forgiven the Queen Mother yet, then you can say it slowly, today, according to the old slave's humble opinion, Your Majesty still has to go." ”
The emperor stood up, in fact, he had already agreed with Lu Cheng's words just now, and nodded slightly, "That's what you said, I'll go for a trip." ”
Lu Cheng waited for the emperor to go out, "Your Majesty, the slave has heard that this time Niangniang didn't even call His Royal Highness the Second Prince." ”
"Oh?" The emperor was a little surprised.
After all, today is the queen's birthday, and her children should be by her side.
So even if she wants to call the second prince to come, the emperor will not say that this is disobeying the emperor's order, after all, there are human favors outside the law, not to mention that this is just the business of the heavenly family itself.
But what the emperor didn't expect was that the queen was so decisive this time, and the second prince didn't call it directly.
Now the second prince is estimated to be terrified in the house.
The mother and son made it like this, and they couldn't even see each other at the mother's Qianqiu banquet, the emperor thought, but he felt that it seemed that it was unnecessary.
He snorted, "You go, find someone to call the second prince in, his mother's birthday, he is sitting at home?" I can sit still. ”
Lu Cheng's eyebrows raised slightly, "Yes, the slave knows." ”
Naturally, he would not make any objections to such matters.
It's just that the emperor probably doesn't understand why the queen doesn't invite the second prince.
Is it because he is afraid that he will go out and make the emperor unhappy?
Of course, the queen knew that the emperor would not be so stingy, and what the queen was afraid of was that the emperor was angry when he saw the second prince.
Of course, this fear does not seem to be untargeted.
Because even Lu Cheng also felt that the emperor was afraid that he would really be angry today.
