Chapter 020: The Queen is grounded
"That's just one of the reasons."
Xie Wan said: "You are the crown prince, but the future king of the Jin Kingdom, your identity is extremely noble, and the slightest accident cannot happen, and as the prince washing the horse, he is also the only person close to you in the East Palace except for the Taifu, but he relies on this closeness to put you in danger, who will the queen mother punish if he does not punish him?" ”
Xie Heng still didn't seem to understand: "But he obviously persuaded Lonely, but Lone insisted on teasing the parrot, so he was injured." ”
Xie Wan shook her head: "It's good that Heng'er can have such a clear heart of right and wrong, but have you thought about it, since he knows that there will be danger, but still brings the parrot into the East Palace, why?" ”
Xie Heng tilted his head and thought for a long time, then shook his head: "Heng'er doesn't know." ”
"It's because he wants to please you." Xie Wan's face was cold: "In order to please you, he did not hesitate to put you in danger, so, do you still think that he is brave and loyal, is it wrong for the queen mother to punish him?" ”
Xie Heng was silent, he drooped his head, pursed his lips and said nothing.
Xie Wan didn't know if he understood it, and how much he understood.
She touched his head and smiled at him: "Sister Heng'er is still young, and she still doesn't understand many things, so it'll be good when Heng'er grows up." ”
Speaking of this, she seemed to ask unintentionally: "By the way, how did the queen mother punish Xiao Yunhai in the end?" ”
"The queen mother did not punish him."
Xie Heng raised his eyes to look at Xie Wan, and there was a little guilt on his little face: "Sister didn't come, Heng'er asked people to invite their father again, and the father and the emperor had an argument with their mother, and Xiao Yunhai was exempted from punishment." Sister, did Heng'er do something wrong? ”
Hearing that Xiao Yunhai had not been punished in any way, Xie Wan couldn't help but be annoyed, and when she heard that for him, her father and mother actually had an argument, which suddenly made her even more angry.
But looking at Xie Heng's guilty little face, she couldn't say anything about the words of reprimand.
She took a deep breath and calmed down before she spoke: "Heng'er, Xiao Yunhai is just a foreign minister, in the future, you must not let your father and queen mother have a gap because of a foreign minister." ”
Xie Heng shook his head again when he heard this: "Heng'er knows that he is wrong, and he will never do it again." ”
Hearing this, Xie Wan couldn't bear to say anything more, and asked the palace people on the side about his injury, gave some instructions, and left.
As soon as she came out of the East Palace, the fire in her heart rose up, she looked at Haitang and said, "Haitang, what do you say this Xiao Yunhai is capable of, so that his father and Heng'er can protect him like this?!" ”
Seeing that she was angry, Haitang persuaded in a low voice: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is young, and it is normal to be deceived by him for a while, as for Your Majesty, the slave maid boldly guessed that it was because His Majesty brought the horse into the palace from the people, and it was the prince who was personally sealed by His Majesty, so it is inevitable to take care of it." ”
Xie Wan shook her head: "Father is not such a talented person, not to mention, this Xiao Yunhai has no great talent, there must be some reason why this palace does not know." ”
Haitang thought for a while: "What the princess said is not unreasonable, but Xiao Xima is from the people, and His Majesty has lived in the deep palace for a long time, what can he have to do with His Majesty?" ”
"This is also what this palace has been thinking about for a long time." Xie Wan sighed: "That's it, this palace will go to see the queen mother." ”
Xie Wan raised her feet towards the Jiaofang Palace, her eyes were cold.
No matter what Xiao Yunhai has to do with his father, after tonight, he will be a dead man.
Empress Shen has a very close personal palace person, who grew up watching Xie Wan and Xie Heng, and is also a very knowledgeable person.
However, when she saw Xie Wan today, she greeted her very courteously: "Fortunately, the princess is here, and the slave is preparing to invite you." ”
Hearing this, Xie Wan stopped and turned her eyes to look at her: "Aunt Ying, what's wrong?" Isn't it the queen mother, she is unwell? ”
"It's a small thing to feel unwell."
Mama Ying walked inside with her, and said in a low voice: "The queen is sad, since the mother was married by His Majesty, His Majesty has not blushed for nearly 20 years, but today for a horse wash, not only reprimanded the mother in public, but even banned the mother's feet, without permission, not to meddle in the affairs of the East Palace." ”
"What?" Xie Wan was shocked when she heard this, she frowned and said, "This palace has just come from the East Palace, why haven't you heard about it?" ”
Mama Ying sighed: "It's the queen mother who sealed her mouth, and no one is allowed to talk about it, I want my mother to enter the palace at the age of eighteen, how can I have been so wronged, and my mother wants to be faced." Later, you will see Niangniang, but you don't know, persuade me, don't let Niangniang cry and break her body. ”
"Thank you Aunt Ying for telling me, this palace is awake." Xie Wan nodded, and became even more suspicious of Xiao Yunhai's origin and identity.
Having arrived at the gate of the palace while speaking, Xie Wan sorted out her mood, walked in with her feet raised, and said loudly with a smile: "Queen Mother, Wan'er is here to accompany you to dinner." ”
Empress Shen was crying in the hall, and when she heard her voice, she hurriedly wiped the tears on her face with a handkerchief, and tidied up her appearance slightly, then she turned her eyes to look at the palace door and said, "Wan'er is here." ”
"Hmm." Xie Wan walked into the hall happily, came to Queen Shen and sat down, took a fruit at random and put it in her mouth and took a bite, then said: "Wan'er just went to see Heng'er, his little face was pecked into a small flower face by a parrot, and when Wan'er went to see him, he was still angry with me!" ”
Speaking of this, she pouted, looking angry: "Heng'er doesn't want to think about it, and regardless of whether the parrot was brought into the East Palace by Xiao Yunhai, just say that the queen mother wants to punish Xiao Yunhai, how can the sons and daughters help him speak, and can't you tell the difference between relatives and close sons?" ”
A sentence of intimacy and proximity made Queen Shen already collect her tears, and there was a trend of flooding in an instant.
Mama Ying on the side coughed lightly and motioned to Xie Wan not to mention it again.
But Xie Wan ignored it, and continued: "Erchen heard Heng'er say that his father exempted Xiao Yunhai from punishment? ”
Empress Shen held back her tears and responded in a low voice: "Hmm." ”
Xie Wan snorted heavily when she heard this: "Erchen really doesn't understand, if it weren't for Xiao Yunhai bringing the parrot into the East Palace, how could Heng'er be pecked, wouldn't my father hurt Heng'er?" Could it be that Xiao Yunhai is the illegitimate son of his father?! ”
One sentence made Queen Shen immediately hold back her tears, her eyes widened, and she scolded: "What nonsense?!" ”
Xie Wan stuck out her tongue and looked careless: "Don't be angry with the queen mother, the sons just talk casually, and the queen mother is not curious, why is my father so special to Xiao Yunhai?" ”
Of course, Xie Wan knew that Xiao Yunhai was not the illegitimate son of Emperor Jin Yuan, otherwise Emperor Jin Yuan would not let Xiao Yunhai be her concubine.
She said this just to remind Empress Shen that she noticed the difference between Emperor Jin Yuan and Xiao Yunhai.
Sure enough, hearing this, Empress Shen frowned and looked thoughtful.
But Xie Wan seemed to really just say it casually, and after saying this, she concentrated on eating the fruit in her hand, clicked down on the flesh, and said while chewing: "This fruit is really delicious, and I will take a few to Mingyue Palace later." ”
