Chapter 132: Zhao and Li Yanran
Zhao persuaded and said, where is the situation of the prince, he can only take one step at a time.
"I don't know this truth, but how can I have time now for the prince to get along with those girls? The emperor has already issued an edict that this Dragon Boat Banquet must let the prince set a family affair. ”
"Who should be chosen and who should not be chosen, I am also in a dilemma, you are often outside, and you will help me see it when the time comes. , I don't pick people with prominent family backgrounds, I just want to be able to grow old with the emperor, and the husband and wife are in love. ”
Hearing what the queen mother said, the Zhao family couldn't help but feel a little sad.
Compared with the queen mother, she is still happy.
Jingyang is still alive, and when the case of Beidi's grain and grass is clarified, he can restore his identity.
This prince is different, the prince has been weak and sickly since he was born, and he has been soaked in a medicine jar all these years.
The imperial physicians all said that the prince would not live to be thirty years old.
The prince has always been a mellow and kind person, and he has not married a wife all these years, and he doesn't want to delay people.
The emperor chose to force the prince to marry at this time, which was indeed a little embarrassing for the prince.
is also a little embarrassed Sister Yanran, over the years, Sister Yanran and the emperor have long lost the relationship between husband and wife, just to maintain harmony on the surface.
If the crown prince insists on not marrying a wife, and the emperor has to give marriage, it will be Sister Yanran who is in a dilemma at that time.
Others don't know, but she knows that Sister Yanran and the emperor have been secretly competing with each other all these years.
If the prince really disagrees, Sister Yanran will have to bow to the emperor at that time.
At that time, Sister Yanran will have to suffer even more.
"Sister Yanran, don't worry, isn't there no good girl in Beijing, isn't the body and bones of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince recovering? The imperial doctor said that he could live a few more years if he took care of it, and as long as there was hope for his illness, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would not be a drag on others if he married a wife. ”
"You and I both know the truth, but the prince doesn't."
Empress Li sighed helplessly.
At this time, the father-in-law Desheng next to the emperor came over and said that the Dragon Boat Banquet was about to start, and asked the queen to go over and prepare.
"There is a trip to Father-in-law Lao Desheng, and the palace will go over later."
Lu Qingrong found that as soon as Desheng appeared, the queen's face was as cold as ice.
One second he was able to show a kind smile with Zhao, but the next second he was gloomy and terrifying.
The woman in this harem has very superb skills in changing her face.
Almost in the blink of an eye, his face changed, which was comparable to a special function.
When they arrived at the Dragon Boat Banquet, the Dragon Boat Banquet had already begun.
The old man in the bright yellow dragon robe should be the emperor today, and there is a beautiful woman sitting next to him.
That beauty is also old, looking at the pearl hairpin and jade ring on her head, she must have a high status in this harem.
Before entering the palace, the Zhao family specially gave Lu Qingrong some science popularization of people and things in this palace.
Now, the most favored person in this palace is the virtuous concubine.
The person sitting next to the emperor should be Concubine Xian Niangniang, and under Concubine Xian Niangniang, there are several concubines wearing harem concubine costumes.
It should be the mother of several princes, but Lu Qingrong couldn't tell the difference for a while.
"See the queen mother, the queen mother thousand years old, a thousand years old."
"Everybody, get up! Today was supposed to be a Dragon Boat Banquet, and it happened to coincide with the birthday of the palace, so everyone should not be formal. ”
"Thank you, Queen."
"Why is the queen so late? Everyone has been waiting for you for a long time. ”
As soon as the queen mother sat down, the virtuous concubine spoke, although it seemed to be a joke, but in fact she was accusing the queen mother of being the mother of a country, and such an occasion could be late.
The queen mother glanced at the emperor, who lowered his head and drank, but did not show any expression.
The queen smiled dignifiedly.
"The emperor's decree says that this Dragon Boat Banquet has just started at noon, where is the palace late? Did my sister come too early? ”
Concubine Xian's smile stiffened a little, and then she showed an even brighter smile.
"What I said is that it is true that the concubines came early, and the concubines didn't want the ladies to wait too long, so they came over in advance and let people open this banquet in advance, compared to the queen, they won't blame the queen, right?"
In the harem, the struggle between the queen and the virtuous concubine has been going on for a long time, and everyone is used to it.
But today is different from the past, today's Dragon Luncheon is the birthday of the queen's mother.
No matter what, Concubine Xian shouldn't slap the queen in the face at this time.
"Concubine Xian, what you said is really insincere, if you are really worried that the queen will blame, you should also make a style of asking for guilt, but Concubine Xian is still sitting there, and she looks complacent, and anyone who sees it knows that the queen concubine does not know that she is wrong, so how can she ask the queen to ask for guilt."
The Zhao family looked down on this virtuous concubine's fox charm the most, and without waiting for the queen to refute, she spoke first.
Concubine Xian glanced at the Zhao family coldly, knowing that the Zhao family was the person she couldn't afford to provoke, so she could only suppress this breath and glanced at the emperor, but the emperor had no intention of standing up for her.
He could only laugh awkwardly, got up and blessed the queen.
"The queen mother, it's all the fault of the concubines, and I ask the queen to forgive the queen, in fact, the concubines are also worried about the queen's phoenix body, and they want to come in advance to help the queen share their worries."
"That's it, since you know that you are wrong, this palace doesn't care about you, but the key to being here today, and as the biological mother of the prince, you should set an example."
"If you are allowed to do this, wouldn't it be to promote the atmosphere of spoiling your wife and spoiling your concubine and destroying your wife, so this palace has to punish you, so I will punish you to go back and copy the female rule and female ring a hundred times, and hand it over to this palace within half a month."
Concubine Xian was stunned for a moment, and for a while, she shouldn't have known how to react, and the others also gasped.
In the past, the open and secret battles between the queen's mother and the virtuous concubine were mainly based on the queen's forbearance, why didn't the queen tolerate it this time?
This woman and the female precepts both reprimand women for virtue.
The queen mother is not clear, saying that the virtuous concubine is moral?
Spoiling the concubine and killing the wife, this is not clear about the face of the virtuous concubine.
It means that no matter how favored the virtuous concubine Niangniang is at the moment, how respected her status is, the concubine room is the concubine room, no matter how big it is, it can't be the concubine room.
Concubine Xian's aggrieved eyes were red, and she glanced at the emperor, but the emperor still lowered his head and drank wine.
Seeing that she was slow to speak, the queen mother got up and saluted the emperor.
"Does the emperor think that the punishment of the concubines is too heavy?"
Zhao Kuangzhen finally raised his eyes and glanced at the queen.
