Chapter 444: The Palace Banquet Changes
Concubines?
The ministers who had talked a lot just now suddenly quieted down.
Concubine Hui said that Ji Shoufu and a certain concubine were childhood sweethearts, isn't this equivalent to saying that someone covets his woman in front of the emperor?
This person is still the first assistant of the court.
This is no small feat.
Who is this concubine?
The ministers looked at each other, Concubine Hui smiled proudly, and turned her head to look at Su Youyi, who was the head of the family.
Su Youyi picked up the teacup and took a sip gently, and her lips and teeth were fragrant.
Concubine Hui raised her hand and pointed at her, and was about to speak, when she suddenly heard Ji Yushen say: "Who did Concubine Hui listen to these crooked words?" Chen He had any childhood sweethearts. When he was studying in the countryside, he lived in his grandfather's house, and what he learned all his life was taught by his grandfather, and he was also the mentor who taught him. What is the daughter of the grandfather of the minister and the minister...... That's also the mother-child relationship. โ
"Poofโ"
Some people couldn't help but squirt out tea, and some people leaned forward and backwards, and barely controlled themselves without losing their manners.
Everyone laughed hard.
One is that Ji Yushen's joke is funny, and second, he is a person who never jokes easily, and he can't hold back even a joke once in a while.
Concubine Hui's face turned pale, this Ji Yushen can really pretend.
If he was allowed to talk nonsense, no one would believe her for a while.
Concubine Hui immediately pointed at Su Youyi, "Ji Shoufu, do you dare to say that your mentor is not surnamed Su?" Isn't his daughter surnamed Sue? โ
Everyone followed the direction of her finger and saw Su Youyi's graceful smile.
In the seat, the eldest princess's face changed suddenly.
How did the mother know about this?
Concubine Hui was afraid of being quibbled by Su Youyi again, so she quickly got up and knelt down from her seat and said: "Your Majesty, the concubines have to offend Long Yan to advise the emperor here for the sake of the emperor's thousands of generations!" Ji Shoufu's childhood sweetheart is the queen's mother, and he still has the queen's mother in his heart! โ
As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked!
One is the head of the court, and the other is the queen who has just been canonized by the emperor, how can there be a relationship between the two of them?
But some people thought about it, and suddenly thought that Ji Yushen's ancestral home was Lingnan, and wasn't the queen also from Lingnan......
My dear, this is a big deal.
Concubine Hui knelt on the ground, and in front of all the concubines, princes, royal relatives, and ministers of civil and military affairs, it was unlikely that such a thing would be groundless.
All of a sudden, whispering voices rang out.
The emperor finally made a move.
He smiled slightly and looked at Concubine Hui, "Concubine Hui, today is the Chinese New Year's Eve family banquet, why do you want to come out at this time to sweep everyone's interest?" โ
Concubine Hui was stunned and looked at the emperor incredulously.
He didn't care about Su Youyi and Ji Yushen's adultery, but said that she was unhappy, what did this mean?
In a flash of light, she figured it out.
On such an occasion today, the relatives and nobles of the DPRK and China are all there, and if you point out the adultery of the queen, the emperor will naturally not look good.
But she just wants to make the emperor not look good!
Only if everyone knows the truth, only if the emperor loses face, he will have to punish Su Youyi heavily! Otherwise, with the emperor's favor for Su Youyi, Concubine Hui is afraid that he will even be able to endure the green hat!
"Your Majesty! The concubine didn't mean it! โ
Concubine Hui hurriedly bowed, "The concubine thought about it day and night when she heard the news, and she was so worried that she couldn't even sleep, lest the emperor's dignity be damaged." It's a pity that the concubines can't speak lightly, so they can only take advantage of today's grand ceremony to raise this matter, please ask the emperor to believe in the concubines! โ
The emperor nodded, "I understand, you just deliberately want to bring it up at this time." Let me lose face, let the queen lose face, I will have to punish the queen heavily, right? โ
Concubine Hui's face was as ugly as eating.
The emperor's words were too ugly, she had no way out, so she simply bit Su Youyi to death, "The emperor misunderstands the concubine, the concubine is not angry, as long as the emperor is aware of everything and does not be deceived by the female cadre, the concubine will rest assured!" โ
"This palace has never known that Concubine Hui is so able to speak."
Su Youyi, who had never spoken, slowly selected a crystal clear grape in the fruit bowl on several cases and sent it to her mouth, "Even so, this palace is not good to disappoint the fun, you speak slowly, this palace listens." โ
When death comes, can she still be so leisurely?
Concubine Hui was resentful in her heart and glared at Su Youyi.
The emperor said: "Concubine Hui, you must know that no matter whether what you said tonight is true or not, it will be difficult for me to treat you like before from now on." Even if what you say is true, I will be upset that you have embarrassed me in public, have you thought clearly? โ
Concubine Hui gritted her teeth and slammed her head to the ground, "Concubine has thought clearly!" โ
"Snort."
I don't know who sneered, Concubine Hui lowered her head, not daring to look at the emperor's majestic gaze.
Only then did the emperor look at Ji Yushen, "Ji Shoufu, let me ask you, Concubine Hui accuses you of having a love for the queen, do you admit it?" โ
"The queen is glorious and beautiful, and she is worthy of the world, and the ministers naturally admire it in their hearts."
He paused, "However, it is only the admiration of his subordinates and people, and there is no other idea. โ
"Then you tell me, your ancestral hometown is Lingnan, where is it?"
"Cangxian, Chen's grandfather's house."
The emperor smiled, "The same ancestral home is Lingnan, you are from Cangxian County, but the queen is from Ming County." Cangxian County and Ming County are separated by 100,000 mountains, and the queen has been raised in the boudoir since she was a woman, and she has never even been to the county seat. How can the two of them be childhood sweethearts? โ
The emperor glanced at Su Youyi as he spoke, and Su Youyi also said: "It's true that the concubine hasn't been far away, but it's better to ask Ji Shoufu, lest Concubine Hui say that Ji Shoufu has crossed the 100,000 mountains and has a private meeting with the concubine." โ
As soon as these words came out, laughter rang out from below.
Ji Yushen arched his hand and said: "The queen mother said that she laughed, the minister just said that she grew up in her grandfather's house since she was a child. My grandfather was strict in discipline, and he was only allowed to study, and he was almost not allowed to do anything else. Although the minister is a man, except for entering Beijing to take the exam, he has never left Cangxian once. โ
In fact, when it was said that there were 100,000 mountains between the two counties, the ministers already knew that this was impossible.
Even if both of them are people who run out often, they are separated by such a long distance, and it takes several months to leave, how can they cultivate the relationship of childhood sweethearts.
Concubine Hui's face changed drastically, "No, this is impossible, how is this possible?" โ
Ji Yushen said again: "Your Majesty, the minister and the queen are the parties involved, we say these words, but I'm afraid that there are still people who don't believe it." It is not a pity for the minister to die, but the queen's reputation cannot be slandered. Just in case, the minister wanted to ask the secretary of the ministry and the head of the internal affairs office to testify. โ
Hearing this, the official Shangshu hurriedly got up and said, "Go back to the emperor, the queen." Every scholar must register his place of origin during the imperial examination, Ji Shoufu is indeed a native of Cangxian County, Lingnan, and the population of the family is indeed filled in by his maternal ancestor and others. โ
The head of the internal affairs office was not in the palace, the little eunuch ran to summon, and he quickly entered the palace, "The slave is to the emperor, and the queen mother asks for peace." โ
