Chapter 384: The Emperor's Suspicion
,
When Emperor Yongqing arrived at Shoukang Palace, the first thing he saw was not Zhao Tianqi, but Yun Jin.
Yun Jin and Xie Qing sat on the left hand side of the Queen Mother, while Zhao Tianqi sat on the right hand side of the Queen Mother.
"See Your Majesty." Yun Jin and Xie Qing saluted Emperor Yongqing one after another.
Emperor Yongqing's eyes narrowed slightly, Zhao Tianqi did not just arrive in the capital today, such a coincidence, Zhao Tianqi entered the palace, Yun Jin and Xie Qing were there, Zhao Tianqi and Zhennan Wangfu have always been in contact behind their backs?
"Flat." In the blink of an eye, Emperor Yongqing had already thought about it a lot.
Zhao Tianqi got up and bowed to Emperor Yongqing: "My nephew has seen Uncle Huang." ”
Emperor Yongqing's eyes fell on Zhao Tianqi, and he saw him wearing a dark shirt, and his words and deeds revealed nobility and calmness, full of royal demeanor.
This is the son of the first emperor, the first emperor died early, and there is only one son left, Zhao Tianqi, on the other hand, Emperor Yongqing has a lot of sons under his knees, but just one glance, Emperor Yongqing has to admit that Zhao Tianqi, the only son of the first emperor, is better than all his sons.
For a time, Emperor Yongqing had mixed feelings in his heart, his son grew up in the palace, and he was taught by Taifu since he was a child, but there were only two of them, and each had shortcomings, and it was difficult to take on a big responsibility.
Seeing that Emperor Yongqing was slow to react, the Queen Mother hurriedly reminded: "Emperor, Tianqi is greeting you, what are you still doing in a daze." ”
Emperor Yongqing came back to his senses and shook his head slightly, why did he get distracted?
His eyes fell on Zhao Tianqi again, and he saw that he had been bowing his hands in a saluting posture, his body was steady, his face was calm, and he was indescribably elegant.
"I think my nephew hasn't visited the emperor for a long time, and the emperor doesn't recognize the nephew." Zhao Tianqi smiled lightly.
Emperor Yongqing helped him up with his own hands, barely pulled out a smile, and said, "You are Tianqi?" I haven't seen it in more than ten years, and I really can't recognize it. ”
"Uncle Huang, it's Tianqi." Zhao Tianqi smiled.
"Tianqi, aren't you traveling? Why did you finally remember to come back today? Emperor Yongqing's tone was slightly scolding, but it would only make people think that it was the elders who were asking the younger generations why they had been away from home for many years and had only returned now.
The Queen Mother took over and said, "Yes, Tianqi, you have been away for so many years, and there is no news, and the mourning family thinks that they will not be able to see your face when they are dying." ”
Although among all the younger generations, the queen mother's favorite is Yunjin, but Zhao Tianqi is the only son of the first emperor, the first emperor went early, and the queen mother has true feelings for the first emperor's single seedling.
Zhao Tianqi hurriedly bowed to the Queen Mother: "The grandson knows his mistake, and asks the imperial grandmother to punish him." ”
There was no mention in his words of what he had done over the years, and Emperor Yongqing's eyes slightly revealed a bit of scrutiny.
"Tianqi, if you know your mistake, don't leave the imperial grandmother in the future, the imperial grandmother is old, and I don't know when she will be buried in the ground." The Queen Mother looked a little sad.
"The imperial grandmother is destined to live for a hundred years." Zhao Tianqi said softly.
The Queen Mother said with a straight face: "Don't use these words to bluff the mourning family, the mourning family's body is clear about the mourning family." ”
"Tianqi, the mourning family remembers that you are also twenty-six this year, you see how old Jin'er is a few years older than you, they are already married, you have to hurry up, just choose a girl in the capital, get married and settle down."
In the blink of an eye, the Queen Mother had already thought about letting Zhao Tianqi marry a wife and have children, so that he could settle in the capital.
Zhao Tianqi smiled slightly and said, "Imperial grandmother, my grandson has already married, and I came back today to ask for the name of my grandson's wife to be added to the family tree." ”
"Already married?" The Queen Mother was shocked, "This ......"
Emperor Yongqing Zhengse said: "Tianqi, this marriage is a big deal, how can you do it in private?" ”
"Which girl? Tianqi, you are the son of the first emperor, and your status as a concubine cannot be lowered. The Queen Mother added.
Zhao Tianqi said with a smile: "Please wait for the imperial grandmother and imperial uncle." ”
After a while, I saw Zhao Tianqi walking in holding Meng Feiyan's hand, and both knelt down, "Grandson and his wife Meng Shi visit the emperor's grandmother and uncle." ”
This salutation is different from the bowing of the man, this prostration, this prostration is a prostration of prostration.
The Queen Mother's brows furrowed slightly: "Looking at her eyes, it doesn't seem to be a girl in the capital, right?" ”
Zhao Tianqi replied: "Imperial grandmother is wise, the Meng family is from Huaiyang. ”
"Huaiyang, Meng?" Emperor Yongqing asked, "The Huaiyang Meng clan of the scholarly family?" ”
Huaiyang Mengshi has always been known for teaching and educating people, and many famous literati were taught in Huaiyang Meng, including Li Mu, the most familiar person of Emperor Yongqing.
Li Mu not only studied in Huaiyang Meng's family, but later went to his younger sister Meng's wife as his wife, but Meng's face was thin and he went early, Huaiyang and the capital were far away, and the two families broke off contact.
But so coincidentally, Zhao Tianqi's wife is also the daughter of Huaiyang Meng?
Obviously, Emperor Yongqing didn't believe it.
"Exactly." Zhao Tianqi replied, "Imperial grandmother, imperial uncle, Tianqi and Meng are relatives in Huaiyang, although the wedding was not held in the capital, but it was also witnessed by the elders of the Huaiyang clan, and the three books and six ceremonies are complete, so I also asked the imperial uncle to add Meng's name to the family tree." ”
Three books and six ceremonies, and there are elders in the Huaiyang clan as evidence, that is, this is not a matchmaker, but a legitimate couple.
The queen looked a little displeased: "Tianqi, you are a prince, and you will ...... in the future." How can your marriage be so hasty! ”
Xie Qing was quietly paying attention to Emperor Yongqing's expression from beginning to end, and she especially noticed that when the Queen Mother said the word future, a hint of color flashed in Emperor Yongqing's eyes.
Sure enough, Emperor Yongqing was very wary of Zhao Tianqi's nephew.
"Imperial grandmother, according to the rules, the grandson's marriage should be back to Beijing, ask the royal elders to help handle it, but the grandson heard about the disaster in Jingzhou, if the grandson gets married, it must cost a lot, the grandson has traveled abroad for so many years, and has never done anything for Dayue, but when the people of Dayue suffer, extravagance and waste, the grandson is not happy, so he simply held a wedding in Huaiyang, everything is simple."
Emperor Yongqing's face stiffened, and from Fang Cai's words, he only heard one meaning, Zhao Tianqi had been away for many years and had never wandered in the court.
I secretly pondered in my heart that Zhao Tianqi came back this time for the throne.
The Queen Mother's face was still a little bad, "Tianqi, you are a prince, where did you get married and the extravagance and waste of saying that you got married, you didn't let the mourning family know about it, and you married the Meng family without making a sound, you ......"
In the end, the Queen Mother's words turned into a long sigh.
The Queen Mother doesn't like the Meng family, Zhao Tianqi has already become a pro-her, and the most important thing is that the Queen Mother thinks that the status of the Meng family is low.
Xie Qing joked: "Queen Mother, isn't His Royal Highness King Qi guilty of asking for guilt?" Queen Mother, don't worry about this, His Royal Highness King Qi is still kneeling underneath. ”
The queen mother's eyes fell on the person kneeling below, to be precise, Meng Feiyan, I saw this woman kneeling there quietly, her face calm and calm, demure like a delicate flower shining on the water, like a beautiful lady.
"Get up, Meng, you come to the mourning family and let the mourning family take a closer look."
"Thank you, Grandmother." Zhao Tianqi and Meng Feiyan thanked him, and Meng Feiyan slowly stepped forward, her steps were not as thin as those of the aristocratic women in the capital, but her steps were light, and she had a strong sense of dignity and elegance.
"The concubine has seen the queen mother." Meng Feiyan bowed to the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother looked up and down carefully, Meng Feiyan's face was delicate and generous, a little less coquettish, and a little more dignified and graceful. There was no faux pas.
I thought to myself, I'm a good woman, it's just ......
"Tianqi, since you married her, then keep it as a side concubine, this position of concubine is still ......"
Before the Queen Mother finished speaking, she was interrupted by Zhao Tianqi, "Imperial grandmother, when Tianqi married Meng, she was marrying a wife, not a concubine, and the imperial grandmother didn't want Tianqi to go back on her word, right?" ”
"Tianqi! How can your concubine be so sloppy, there are so many good girls in the capital, you choose one of them to be the concubine, this is the right one. The Queen Mother said unhappily.
What about the scholarly family, it still doesn't deserve the position of King Qi's concubine.
"Queen Mother, Tianqi has just come back today, the carriage is tired, let's talk about other things later, let Tianqi rest for a while today." Emperor Yongqing came out to play a round.
When he said that, he had already instructed the palace people: "Come here, clean up the Lingbo Palace, and let His Royal Highness King Qi live." ”
The emperor has already made a decision, and the queen mother is angry now, so she has no objection. Zhao Tianqi and Meng Feiyan saluted: "Grandson retires." ”
In fact, in this process, Emperor Yongqing saw the expressions of Zhao Tianqi and Meng Feiyan in his eyes, and both of them were calm, especially when Meng Feiyan heard the Queen Mother say that she was allowed to be the concubine, she still did not change her expression, whether she had determination, or whether this Meng family was different.
Emperor Yongqing will first separate the people, and then make a final conclusion after verification.
"Emperor, you can't agree to record the Meng family in the family tree, how can Princess Qi be so hasty." The Queen Mother began to gasp for breath when she spoke.
Xie Qing hurriedly smoothed her back, but Yun Jin, who had not spoken, spoke: "Queen Mother, don't worry, Your Majesty will deal with it." ”
Yun Jin has always been liked by the Queen Mother, and under his comfort, the Queen Mother slowly calmed down.
Emperor Yongqing raised his eyes, and his gaze fell on Yun Jin: "Why did Yun Shizi and Shizi enter the palace today?" ”
This is a question he has wanted to ask for a long time, and he doesn't believe that there can be such a coincidence in the world.
Yun Jin replied with a light smile: "I heard that the imperial grandmother was unwell, so Yun Jin specially entered the palace to visit the queen mother. ”
The Queen Mother finally showed a smile on her face, patted the back of Xie Qing's hand gently, and said, "Jin'er and Qing'er are both good children. It's just that the palace people said in passing, these two children came to see the mourning family, and they are both filial and sensible good children. ”
"It's much better than Tianlin, and the mourning family heard that Tianlin has been running to Changle Palace these days." The Queen Mother sank her face when she said that Zhao Tianlin came, in fact, the Queen Mother did it on purpose, just because she knew that Zhao Tianlin had teamed up with Ye Chengxuan to calculate Yunjin last time, and the Queen Mother had never found a chance to teach Zhao Tianlin a lesson, so she took the opportunity to count two sentences today.
