Chapter 203: Quit Drinking
Emperor Chu suddenly took his attack on wanting to kill the Liao family and kick and injure his sister, which Xiao Jin had already expected before entering the palace.
He knew that there must be an eyeliner planted by Emperor Chu in his county king's mansion, so that the Liao family would not be so frightened that the three souls disappeared and the seven spirits were gone, and he would not have the courage to spread this matter outside the mansion at all.
But he thought about it, how could the Hu family be able to pinch the time that day and rush over to stop him sooner rather than later?
When Xiao Jin thought of this, he hated the Hu family more and more in his heart.
This woman, as her wife, not only is she not on her side to assist her.
Hu's maiden Liguo Mansion is not as good as the previous Yongchang Earl's Mansion, and Hu's father has always had an ambiguous attitude and is unwilling to help him as much as possible.
Xiao Jin secretly thought about these things in his heart, and with a guilty expression on his face, he knelt down again.
"Erchen definitely didn't mean that." After Xiao Jin knelt down, he didn't dare to look up at Emperor Chu's expression again, he kept kowtowing, and didn't forget to defend himself. "Erchen knew that he had made a big mistake, and he was punished by his father to meditate in the county king's mansion. Erchen really just drank too much wine that day, and he almost hurt the Liao family. ”
"Heh, what you said is true or false, you know best in your own heart." Emperor Chu said coldly. "Just remember, the Liao family, like the Hu family, was given to you by me. If you don't draw near to them, I don't care about you, but they must live well. ”
Xiao Jin's vague thoughts in his heart seemed to be unveiled by Emperor Chu, and now the Liguo Mansion and the Yongchang Earl's Mansion have no practical effect on him, and his county palace has another side concubine and several concubines, but either their backgrounds are not obvious or the people who were raised from their respective courtyards to serve him when the Hu and Liao clans fought before, they are all useless.
He thought in his heart that if the Hu family and the Liao family were gone, and a position of the main concubine and the side concubine was vacated, maybe he could have something else to think about.
However, Emperor Chu's cold words were like a basin of ice water poured over his head, and Xiao Jin's heart unconsciously tightened. He knelt on the ground, his body trembling slightly, and he didn't even dare to kowtow.
Xiao Xuan didn't take a few steps out of the Lingyun Palace, and the Baizhu beside Emperor Liu's concubine came over.
"Princess, the imperial concubine ordered the slave maid to come to you, saying that today is the fifteenth, and the imperial concubine is going to say goodbye to the queen." Baizhu was born with a round face, and her eyes were round, and she was a very cute girl. "The imperial concubine knew that the princess had come to His Majesty, so she asked the slave maid to come here to find the princess and invite the princess to go to Zhaoyang Palace."
Suihong has also brought up some people over the years, and the performance of Baizhu is the best among the girls in the same period. Don't look at her honest and cute appearance, but she acts quite strongly.
Emperor Liu's concubine has now decided that Suihong will go out of the palace with Xiao Xuan in the future, and after Suihong leaves the palace and becomes a female official in the princess's mansion, the position of the first palace maid in Yihua Palace will be vacant.
Suihong recommended Baizhu to Liuhuang Guifei for the first time, and after Liuhuang Guifei personally summoned Baizhu for questioning, it was decided that Baizhu would take over Suihong's position in the future.
Right now, Baizhu began to slowly handle the errands on Suihong's hands.
"The mother concubine went to the queen to say goodbye, why did you call me along?" Xiao Xuan listened to Baizhu's words and was very puzzled.
"The imperial concubine's intentions are unknown." Baizhu shook his head and said ignorantly.
"Forget it, I'll go with you." Xiao Xuan had no choice but to respond, turned around and said to Wu Chuan. "Wu Nei Waiter, my mother sent someone to summon me to Zhaoyang Palace to ask for peace, I don't need you to send it here, you go back to serve my father."
"Okay, the minion will retire."
Xiao Xuan arrived at Zhaoyang Palace and found that the main hall of Zhaoyang Palace today was very lively.
"It turned out that Zhaoyue had arrived." The queen, who has been ill for a few months, sees a rare ruddy complexion and full of voice when she sees it today. "Come in and sit down next to your mother."
Jinxiu welcomed Xiao Xuan in, and arranged a place next to Emperor Liu's concubine for Xiao Xuan to sit down. After Xiao Xuan sat down dignified and generous, he subconsciously looked at the concubine Liuhuang beside him.
Concubine Liu was talking to the queen, she didn't look back at Xiao Xuan, but gently patted Xiao Xuan's hand with her left hand and calmed her.
Xiao Xuan's eyes turned around in the main hall, and he also saw the Hu family.
Hu sat at the head of the queen, some distance away from Xiao Xuan. Soon she also saw Xiao Xuan, smiling at her and nodding in greeting.
"I heard that Zhaoyue just came from Lingyun Palace, right?" The queen suddenly asked Xiao Xuan.
"After returning to her mother, Zhaoyue did come from her father's Lingyun Palace." Xiao Xuan looked well-behaved and supple, and answered the queen's question.
"Then have you seen your second imperial brother?"
"See." Xiao Xuan said. "Originally, I was talking to my father, but the second emperor brother came over, so I came out because it was inconvenient for me to stay."
"Oh, that's right." After saying this, the queen changed the subject again and talked about something else.
After waiting for the concubines to disperse, the Hu family remained in the main hall.
"I look at the queen mother's complexion much better than when I visited her before." Hu said with a smile to the queen. "The queen mother must take care of her body."
"Hey, my illness is not all heart disease." The queen said. "Fortunately, Your Majesty is finally willing to summon Jin'er, as long as Jin'er sincerely admits her mistake to Your Majesty, and Your Majesty is kind, presumably in the near future, Jin'er's situation will definitely improve."
"Yes, Your Majesty loves the child, and he will definitely forgive the king." Hu Shi only felt disgusted when he thought about Xiao Jin's face, but he still had to say to the queen with a smile on his face. "It would be good if the county king could resume his errand sooner."
"You're a good boy, when you're thinking about it in the house, thanks to you being able to walk for him outside." The queen raised her hand and summoned Hu Shi to step forward and took her hand. "How are Liao's and sister's health?"
"Liao Shi was just a little frightened, and after drinking the tranquilizing decoction for a few days, he was almost better." Hu frowned. "It's just that my sister didn't raise well in the womb, and she was not only frightened that day but also kicked by the king of the county, but fortunately, it was dealt with in time, and now my sister's injury is almost healed."
"Hey, Jin'er's heart is still not stable enough." The queen only knew that her sister was frightened, but she didn't know that Xiao Jin had also done something to her sister. "I still need you to worry about the affairs in the house."
"Since I am married to the king of the county, it is my duty to take care of these things for him." When Hu Shi faced the queen, he had a respectful expression. "It's just that after the incident from Jiangnan, the king of the county encountered such a setback, and his temper was much worse. There were almost twenty dead staff and maids on the other side of the study, plus those who were injured by beatings. The king of the county has also been in my yard for almost half a year, and he has not been able to spend the night in my yard. ”
As he spoke, Hu Shi's eyes turned red, and he immediately burst into tears.
"I know he's wronged you." The queen hurriedly comforted Hu. "Don't worry, when he comes to Zhaoyang Palace, I will definitely talk to him well, so that he can treat you well in the future."
"Thank you for opening my eyes for me." Hu Shi choked up with tears in his eyes and said. "But if the king of the county knows that I am complaining to the queen mother, I am afraid that he will be angry with me again."
"Don't worry, I won't mention what you just said." The queen agreed to Hu.
Only then did Hu Shi relax and continue to sit down and talk to the queen.
Xiao Jin knelt in front of Emperor Chu for a long time, but Emperor Chu ignored him and let him kneel.
Emperor Chu himself took the fold and looked at it until Wu Chuan turned back.
"Get up." Only then did Emperor Chu speak to let Xiao Jin get up.
It's just that Xiao Jin knelt for a long time, and he couldn't get up for a while.
"Thank you for your kindness." Wu Chuan was instructed by Emperor Chu's eyes, and stepped forward to help Xiao Jin, Xiao Jin trembled and barely stood still.
"That's all for today." Emperor Chu's eyes were still looking at the fold in his hand, and he said to Xiao Jin without raising his head. "Your queen mother is worried about your affairs, she has been sick for a long time, since you have entered the palace, go and see her."
Emperor Chu's words were ambiguous, and Xiao Jin only had to respond obediently.
By the time Xiao Jin limped to Zhaoyang Palace, the Hu family was no longer there.
"The Hu family went to listen to the Bamboo Palace to visit Qin Zhaoyi." The queen saw that Xiao Jin was unable to move, so she hurriedly asked someone to help him sit down. "What's wrong with your legs?"
"It's nothing, it's just that I've been kneeling for a long time, just wait a little longer." Xiao Jin lowered his head and said. "My father is still unwilling to give his son an errand."
"Tell me about you, the matter in Jiangnan is out, you just have to think about it in the house." When the queen heard this, she said helplessly. "You killed the staff and the maids, all of which were used to cover up the past. You just want to move the Liao family, what's the matter, could it be that the Liao family forced you to do it in the matter of getting involved in Jiangnan? The Liao family is a side concubine, the side concubine given to you by His Majesty himself, is a member of the clan jade, can he be killed with you like those maids? ”
"The queen mother, the sons know that they are wrong. I really didn't mean it that day, I just drank too much alcohol to make that happen. Xiao Jin was also distressed.
"Your father can't look down on these things the most, but in the end you did it yourself, and there is no way to argue." The queen said.
"But now they are all princes, and I am the only one who bows them." Xiao Jin said with hatred. "If I don't have an errand on my body, how can I save face in front of my father, can I really be the king of the county for the rest of my life?"
"Look at you, and you can't hold your breath." The queen rebuked him in a low voice. "You should know that your father and emperor may have installed people in your mansion and even in my Zhaoyang Palace, if you say something that shouldn't be said, aren't you afraid that you won't even have a chance to be the king of the county for the rest of your life in the future?"
Xiao Jin looked at the queen in shock, and the queen sighed and said.
"Since this is the case now, you can stay in the mansion with peace of mind, and first quit the wrong drinking."
