Chapter 319: Leaving the Palace
At this time, Wu Anhou, who was sitting in the minister's seat, also walked out, knelt straight towards His Majesty, and asked for sin.
"Weichen has no way to teach his son, and he asks the emperor to punish him together."
Wu Anhou was dressed in dark brown court clothes, in his forties, and his face was majestic, revealing the rigidity of a soldier.
"Okay, go back and sit, today is my birthday banquet, Danyang, you open and close your mouth to give death, what is the law of Dayan? Queen, how do you teach on weekdays! The emperor looked at the chaotic scene in the audience, waved his hand impatiently, and said very unhappily.
"Your Majesty......" The queen seemed to be unwilling, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she was interrupted by the emperor.
"Chengyu, I will definitely not break my word, but you despise the princess this time, although there is a reason for the incident, but you will also be punished, and you will be punished for March, as for Danyang, you are disrespectful, and you will be grounded in the Frost Palace for March!" The emperor immediately punished the two of them one after another, but which was more important and which was more important, a discerning person could see it at a glance.
But this incident has developed to the present, and the emperor has long been impatient, even if the queen wants to say something more, it is useless.
The queen listened to the emperor's will, and her heart was even more angry, and she had already clenched her fists in her sleeves, every time things involved Nangong Chengyu, His Majesty was always so eccentric!
Xie Qingyu looked at the scene in front of the stage, and finally put his mind at ease, fortunately, the emperor did not severely punish Nangong Chengyu, but how much money is there in this March?
Immediately afterwards, there was the gift session of the ministers, but everyone at the banquet was still thinking about Princess Danyang's request for marriage before.
The dancing girls who performed during the banquet have changed again and again, and the birthday banquet has returned to the same lively as before.
The banquet was staggered, and the joy of silk and bamboo was endless.
The emperor's birthday banquet finally came to an end at this moment.
Everyone in Huangyi Academy has to go back to their homes with their own carriages, but Xie Qingyu is the lady of this sacrifice, and she still needs to report to the queen mother before leaving, and there are still some of her belongings in Zhaoyang Palace that have not been packed.
So he said goodbye to Qin Zixuan and made an appointment to see him tomorrow, and then went to Fengqi Palace with a group of palace maids.
Originally, when the birthday banquet ended, it was already late at night, and by the time Xie Qingyu arrived at Fengqi Palace, it was already time.
The Chinese lights in Fengqi Palace are bright, and the inside is gorgeous, as if in another world, Xie Qingyu followed the palace people and slowly walked inside.
"The courtiers visit the queen and ask the queen to condemn her." Xie Qingyu saluted the queen very respectfully.
Xie Qingyu knew that when she was reading the sacrificial text, something went wrong, the queen was the person in charge of this birthday banquet, and there was such a big mistake, the queen would not be unable to hear it, and it was just because of everyone, it was not easy to speak.
"Tell me what sin thou hast committed." The queen opened her mouth coldly, and drank tea indifferently in her hand.
"The courtiers read the sacrificial text they had written at the sacrificial ceremony." Xie Qingyu opened his mouth very naturally, without the slightest concealment.
When the queen mother heard Xie Qingyu's words, a trace of appreciation flashed on her face, this person is thoughtful, knowing that she did not have any intention of punishment in front of the stage, but now she took the initiative to admit her mistake, which is really good.
As soon as Xie Qingyu opened her mouth before, she noticed something unusual, and the harem people came to inform that there was a blank on the sacrificial text, Xie Qingyu was able to make wisdom in a hurry, and it was not easy to say this paragraph.
"But you can have such improvisation skills, this literary foundation is really good, this punishment will be waived, and this palace will reward you generously." The queen mother then spoke slowly, pointing out the power.
"This is the courtier's business, thank you for the queen's love, this reward for the courtiers is really unaffordable." Xie Qingyu hurriedly opened her mouth and prevaricated, she had already been rewarded by the queen before, not to mention that she had made a big mistake.
"It's a person who knows how to advance and retreat, and you will send him out of the palace in a while, and the palace will rest when it is tired." The queen looked at Xie Qingyu like this, and was very satisfied in her heart, and then said.
"Courtier, thank you Queen." Xie Qingyu hurriedly kowtowed at this time.
Then Xie Qingyu and Liuli walked to Zhaoyang Palace together, first took off the sacrificial dress on his body, and after changing into the regular clothes, Xie Qingyu felt a lot more comfortable, although the gorgeous dress was beautiful, but it was not suitable for ordinary people to wear.
After packing up all their things, the two walked towards the palace gate.
Liuli had already prepared the carriage to send Xie Qingyu home.
"Aunt Liuli, thank you for this time." When Xie Qingyu left the palace, he said very gratefully to Liuli.
This trip to the harem, I have to say that Liuli helped her a lot, whether it was checking the affairs of the Liushang Twenty-four Divisions, or in other sacrificial ceremonies, Liuli helped her a lot.
"Miss Xie is serious, please Miss Xie be careful all the way." Liuli's face was still so indifferent, not moved by Xie Qingyu's words at all, but there was a slight affection in his eyes.
Seeing this, Xie Qingyu didn't say anything more, waved his hand, and then got into the carriage.
At the thought of leaving the queen, Xie Qingyu's heart was still a little excited, she was finally going to leave this deceitful deep palace, and now that the Extreme Cold Ice Lotus had been obtained, her mother could return to normal with only one medicine, how could she not be excited, how could she not be happy.
When she was at the birthday banquet, she was not sure of the reward, but as soon as she returned to Zhaoyang Palace, she immediately confirmed that inside the brocade box was a snow lotus with bursts of ice gas, and she let go of her heart and left the deep palace.
Thinking of this, Xie Qingyu unconsciously tightened the brocade box in his arms, and the carriage staggered towards the outside of Xie's mansion.
Time passed slowly, and when he was about to arrive at Xie's mansion, Xie Qingyu found a reason and asked the coachman to send him down.
However, she did not walk in the direction of the gate of Xie Mansion, but walked in another direction.
Xie Qingyu shuttled on the road with a light car, the capital in the middle of the night is not as deserted as Jiangnan, and the night market has already opened at this time, and it is brightly lit everywhere.
She walked down the street to a secluded courtyard, and then knocked lightly on the door.
Squeak!
The door opened, and Qianqiu appeared behind the door, looking at Xie Qingyu with a happy face.
"Miss, you're finally back!"
"Well, let's go talk first." Xie Qingyu looked at Qianqiu, who was delighted on his face, and responded lightly, and then the two went straight in.
After arriving in the house, Xie Qingyu put down the things in his arms and looked around.
"Miss, you have been going for ten days, the slave maid listened to your words, and came here immediately after you left, and I have been looking forward to the return of Miss every day for ten days, and Miss got what she wanted when she entered the palace this time?" Qianqiu looked at Xie Qingyu and said what he had done after Xie Qingyu left, but his face was full of worry about Xie Qingyu.
"Your young lady is out of the horse, is there anything you can't get?" Xie Qingyu looked at Qianqiu very worried, and pretended to be relaxed.
"Miss got it?" When Qianqiu heard this, she was even more excited, so Mrs. was saved?
"It's natural, you see." Saying that, Xie Qingyu opened the brocade box and showed Qianqiu the extremely cold ice lotus in the brocade box.
"Miss, is this the Extreme Cold Ice Lotus?" Qianqiu looked at the extremely cold ice lotus that was still showing a chill in the brocade box, and asked in surprise.
She had grown so big that she had never seen a real ice lotus, the most common being an ordinary lotus.
"Yes, I'll send it to my mother tomorrow." Xie Qingyu nodded, and then closed the brocade box again, acting very carefully.
"It's just Miss, we went out of the Prime Minister's Mansion like this, is it a bit rude, will the master punish him?" Seeing that Xie Qingyu finally got what he needed, Qianqiu expressed his concerns in the past few days.
In the past ten days, in addition to worrying about the safety of the young lady in the inner palace, she is worried about this matter, if something goes wrong, no matter what, it will be a little unfavorable for the young lady.
"Qianqiu, how comfortable have you been living in this hospital these days? It's better than that broken yard? Xie Qingyu didn't answer Qianqiu's words positively, but asked.
"This is comfortable, and the broken courtyard is just a shelter from the wind and rain." Qianqiu didn't think much about it, but as soon as she said it, she regretted it and immediately comforted her.
"But Miss, after all, what you say about the broken courtyard is the Prime Minister's Mansion."
"The broken courtyard is not a place for you and me, I have shown my face in front of the emperor and the queen's mother, no matter what, he Xie Mansion will entertain you and me, wait, someone will come to visit tomorrow." Compared with Qianqiu's nervousness, Xie Qingyu seemed a little unhurried, and the things she did had already been calculated.
Since Prime Minister Xie and Mrs. Xie don't want to see her, and let their Xie family live in a broken courtyard, she can not make this matter public for the sake of courtesy, but now that she has come out, Prime Minister Xie will have to invite herself back to the house, all in order to save the face of the Xie family, even if Prime Minister Xie does not come, Mrs. Xie will definitely come in person.
And he is no longer the Xie light rumor from the "countryside" that day, not the Xie light rumor who let others bully.
"Miss, who will come tomorrow? Does the young lady have a guest? Qianqiu was still in the clouds at the moment, and he didn't understand what Xie Qingyu said at all.
"Silly girl, it's not early today, let's go to bed first, if someone comes tomorrow, let her wait." When Xie Qingyu heard this, he unconsciously shook his head and smiled.
"Miss, please come with the slave maid, during this time, the young lady will clean up the house all day long when the slave is not there, just wait for the young lady to come back, presumably the young lady is already very tired in the inner palace, the slave and the maid will boil some hot water for the young lady first, so that the young lady can rest." When Qianqiu heard this, she hurriedly led Xie Qingyu into the room.
"Okay, after following me for so long, you still call yourself a slave, but you forgot what I said before?" After listening to Xie Qingyu, he said.
"Miss, I know, I'll go and prepare hot water for you first." Asaaki immediately went out to prepare hot water.
Seeing this, Xie Qingyu didn't say anything, but slowly put down the brocade box and carefully looked at the environment in the house.
