Chapter 138: Cutting the grass and eradicating the roots
While she was eating, the queen suddenly laughed.
"The queen is so happy!" Seeing this, the emperor couldn't help asking.
"There's nothing to do, the concubine just thinks that we sit together and eat happily, it feels like an ordinary family, and the concubine feels very happy!" She said with a smile.
But I didn't know that these words made waves in the hearts of the two men opposite. The emperor grabbed her hand: "In the future, as long as you want me and the prince to come back to dine with you, we have always been a family!" ”
"Thank you, Emperor! However, the emperor has a lot of opportunities, the prince also does a lot of homework every day, and the concubines don't expect to get together like this every day, just occasionally we can have a meal together, I think it's enough, if you can't do it, just find a kitten for the concubine, just like Concubine Hua's kitten to accompany the concubine! The queen said wistfully.
The emperor then remembered that the queen sent someone to execute Concubine Hua's kitten, and he was also a little puzzled when he thought of this: "The queen Concubine Hua's cat, but you let it be executed!" ”
"Yes, that kitten dared to hurt people, so the concubine had to put the kitten to death, the concubine knew that Concubine Hua loved this little animal very much, so the concubine had asked people to look for cute kittens everywhere, and when the time came, send it to the palace, let Concubine Hua choose one!" The queen brought this matter aside, just so that the emperor took the initiative to ask.
Only in this way can it be shown that the queen does not know about the affairs of the court, and she does not know that the emperor already knows about this matter.
The emperor really put down his chopsticks, and said with a solemn face: "Queen, I also heard Concubine Hua say about this matter, I know that as the queen, there are some things that you have to do, but that kitten is just a small animal, it is not human, it is not an exaggeration to be smashed and scratched, why did you kill a life for a small mistake?" ”
"The emperor has misunderstood!" The queen was immediately frightened, and her face was cautious: "How can this be said to be arrested because of being smashed, and the concubines don't know what the emperor knows?" But there were many people present that day, and the cat was simply held in his arms, and suddenly attacked Mrs. Taibao! ”
Hearing the completely different words from Hua Fei, the emperor frowned, and then listened to the queen tell the queen about the events of that day! Then, his face suddenly turned very pale. Choose some people who fainted on the ground, but fortunately the emperor was in a hurry to hold on.
"Call the Imperial Doctor!" The emperor gave an urgent order, stretched out his hand and picked up the queen horizontally and put her on the bed.
The imperial doctor was at the bedside, and after a while, he came to the emperor and knelt down: "Your Majesty, the queen is no longer in serious trouble, but fortunately, the amount of safflower is small, so nothing major has happened!" ”
"Where did the safflower come from?" When the prince heard this, he stepped forward and grabbed the imperial doctor to ask.
As soon as he stepped forward to check what they had just used, he found a condiment soaked in safflower water in one of the acidic dishes: "The condiment used in this dish is soaked in safflower water, because the condiment has a strong flavor, so I can't smell the smell of safflower after soaking, and I can't check it out!" ”
"What happened to the emperor just now, is the emperor a concubine or a concubine of Xinhua!" The queen woke up with a pale face, and was still asking in a broken voice while lying on the bed.
The emperor suddenly felt that the question he had just asked him was really too inappropriate: "Of course I believe in the queen, the queen is the master of these six palaces, and she should have the right to deal with everyone in this harem." This Concubine Hua is really bold and reckless, she dares to rob the person the queen wants to see halfway, this is simply not taking the queen in her eyes, why didn't you tell me earlier! ”
"The concubine just wants the harem to enjoy peace, the emperor is in the court, it is already a heavy state affair, and the concubine, as the queen, should not tell the emperor about these troublesome things in the harem, so that the emperor is restless, so the concubine can bear it!" The queen's voice was weak, helpless and sad.
The emperor suddenly didn't know what to say, he only felt as if he was wrong to blame the queen.
"Yunshang help me up!" The queen suddenly said to Yunsheng, Wen Yunmiao wanted to step forward, but was stopped by the queen's look.
Later, in the process of being helped up, the emperor accidentally exposed a piece of jade under the pillow. It was a piece of jade with a bad texture, fake yellow.
The emperor stretched out his hand and took the jade in his hand, and exclaimed: "You still have this piece of jade!" ”
"Yes!" The queen leaned back on the head of the bed, with a happy smile on her face, and the emperor couldn't help but sigh: "You are the queen now, what kind of beautiful jade will you not find, why do you still keep this fake jade pendant!" ”
Hearing him say this, the queen reached out and grabbed the fake topaz, and said a little unhappily: "Does the emperor really not understand?" I keep this piece of jade not to say that he is worthless, but that love, this piece of jade represents the innocence and affection at the beginning, so the concubine must always keep it! ”
The emperor was still the crown prince back then, but he was not favored, not only was he not favored, but he was also imprisoned in the East Palace by the first emperor, and he was not allowed to go out and no one visited.
The emperor, who was still the crown prince back then, was unwilling to be lonely, so he climbed the wall and quietly walked out of the heavily guarded East Palace. When I came outside, I met the queen, who was the daughter of the prime minister.
At that time, the empress, who was still the daughter of the prime minister, appeared in the largest restaurant in Kyoto, attracting the children of various families to rush to give valuable objects in the hope of being favored.
The emperor, who was still the crown prince, fell in love with the beautiful and moving woman at first sight, but he was short of money, so he used ten taels of silver to buy a fake topaz in the shop at that time.
Who would have thought that in that pile of precious calligraphy and paintings, the beautiful and moving woman only chose this fake topaz that was only worth ten taels of silver, and the prince did not expect that this woman was the daughter of the prime minister of the dynasty.
also because he married the prime minister's daughter, so he left the imprisoned East Palace step by step and walked out of the sky that belonged to him.
Now the emperor sees this piece of topaz, and then looks at the queen lying on the bed with a weak face, but his eyes are very affectionate, looking at that piece of topaz, there are too many beautiful women sent to the palace over the years, so many that the emperor is dazzled, and sometimes he can't even remember the appearance of the concubines he has pampered.
Sometimes, when the mood is high, he will not come to the queen's palace for ten days and half a month. Maybe he didn't realize it. Because of his negligence, the queen may have been bullied by many people in private.
Take Concubine Hua's matter as an example, this Concubine Hua is just a concubine, and she actually dares to rob the person the emperor wants to see, or in broad daylight, this is undoubtedly slapping the queen's face.
"Your Majesty, this Concubine Hua is really too deceitful!" Yunshang suddenly knelt on the ground.
"Yunshang, what are you doing! Did Hongu let you speak! When the queen saw Yunshang like this, she coughed anxiously.
The emperor also noticed that something was wrong, and immediately said: "What do you know that Yunshang said? 1510 tell me about it! ”
"The condiments that the imperial doctor said just now were given to the queen by Concubine Hua! Last time, because of the queen's pregnancy, the emperor rewarded the queen with a lot of precious cloth! The queen asked the slave to choose some good ones to give to Concubine Hua, and then Concubine Hua gave the slave some condiments, he said that it was the favorite thing for pregnant people to eat, so the slave and maid brought it back to the queen! After Yunshang finished speaking, he kept kowtowing underground.
"It's the slave who deserves to die, the slave didn't take care of the queen! But the condiments that the slave maid took back have been sent for inspection, and it said that there was no problem, and the slave maid took it back to the queen to use, and the queen felt sweet and sour after eating it, and she loved it very much! Yunshang tried her best to excuse herself.
"Imperial Doctor, what do you say is going on!" The emperor was furious.
"The flavor of this condiment is relatively strong, a small amount of safflower is boiled into juice, mixed in the condiment, and boiled in water repeatedly, so that it is fused with the taste of the edible condiment itself, and it cannot be checked out without boiling, and only when it is boiled and eaten, the effect of safflower will be detected!" The Imperial Physician quickly replied.
"But it's not right, every time the queen mother eats, she has to be inspected by someone, how can this not be checked!" Wen Yunmiao asked.
"Prince Qiyu, the food just out of the pot is still very hot, the taste is the strongest at that time, and it is even more imperceptible, it is generally sent to the table, and the taste of safflower will only appear when it is cold, and safflower is normally just a medicine, it is not a poison for normal people, and it can't be tried with a silver needle!" The doctor solved the puzzles one by one.
The emperor understood this, and turned around and took the queen's hand to reassure: "Queen, don't worry, I will definitely seek justice for you, I want everyone in this harem to know today who is the master of this harem!" After the emperor finished speaking, he walked out of Feng'an Palace in a menacing manner.
After everyone left, the queen waved everyone back, leaving only Yunshang and Wen Yunmiao.
"Does the prince think that this palace is a little more vicious!" The queen looked at the crown prince and said.
Wen Yunmiao didn't know what to say for a while, he just wanted to ask the queen to intercede for him: "Erchen doesn't think the queen mother is vicious, but it's a little unexpected, Erchen just wanted to intercede for Fu Liye at first!" ”
The crown prince looked at the queen without any evasion, and there was no sign of lying inside. The queen leaned on the bed tiredly: "What Fu Liye did when he was punished is not a problem that hurts his muscles and bones, let him do it, but if he has the opportunity to cut down the enemy and eradicate the roots, don't leave a disaster!" ”
"Yes, Erchen remembered!" Wen Yunmiao said.
The queen continued: "I know you just want this palace to ask for a favor, but can this palace ask once and twice?" When a person wants to harm you, you can't stop it, unless she no longer has the ability to hurt you, then you can rest assured. Prince, you must remember that you must not be indecisive when you are going to inherit the unification, you must make a decision when you should make a decision, and you must not be soft-hearted when you should be ruthless! ”
