Chapter 263: Back to the Palace
Xiao Jin went to Fengyi Palace, and found that Ji Ketian still hadn't come back, so he was a little anxious, so he sent more people to find it.
Ji Ketian was still waiting at the city gate, it was dark, but he was a little unwilling.
Until a servant girl happened to see Ji Ketian at the city gate, she hurriedly stepped forward and knelt on the ground, "Slave and maid see the queen's mother, hurry up and go back to the palace!" The emperor has been looking for you for a day. ”
Send it to the maid to get up.
"Niangniang, go back to the palace with the slave maid, the emperor is in a hurry in the palace." The maidservant said anxiously.
Ji Ketian still wanted to stay for a while, "Bengong knows, I'll go back later!" ”
The maidservant stayed by Ji Ke's side, busy letting the other person go back to the palace to deliver the news.
Ji Ketian stood up and watched the city gate slowly close, and the hope in his heart followed the closed gate of the city little by little.
There is an unspeakable loss in my heart.
"Let's go, go back to the palace."
Ji Ke sat in the carriage and didn't say a word, as if there was a missing place in his heart, and there was no way to get it back.
Back in the palace, Xiao Jin received the news in the imperial study, so he hurriedly went to Fengyi Palace to find a dump.
"The emperor has arrived!" Father-in-law's sharp voice came.
"Greetings to the emperor!"
Xiao Jin helped Ji Ketian up, held her hand, and said anxiously, "Where have you been?" I've had people look for you for a day. ”
As he spoke, he pinned the hair from his forehead behind his ear.
Ji Ketian smiled slightly, "The concubine wanted to go out of the palace on a whim, but she didn't mention it to inform the emperor, which made the emperor worried." ”
"Next time you want to leave the palace, just let people know in advance." Xiao Jin's face was doting, and he didn't care about the disappearance of Ji Ke today.
It happened to be dinner time, and Xiao Jin and Ji Ketian ate together.
During this period, Xiao Jin wanted to talk to Ji Ke about the child, but when he saw Ji Ke being absent-minded, he gave up.
I guessed in my heart that I was considerate of Ji Ke Lean, and I had been running around outside for a day, so I didn't stay overnight in Fengyi Palace.
Before leaving, Xiao Jin suddenly turned around and said in her ear, "Ketian, you have a good rest." ”
Without waiting for Ji Ke to react, Xiao Jin left without looking back.
Looking at the direction in which Xiao Jin went, Ji Ketian was thoughtful.
In the evening, after Mingyue and the others left, Ji Ketian came to the garden with a coat as before.
Sitting alone in the garden, Ji Ke thought about what happened last night and today, and his heart was full of questions.
Who is the mystery man?
Who was the one who knocked himself unconscious and sent back to Fengyi Palace?
Why did Lian Yan leave so suddenly?
But at this moment, there is no way to find someone to talk to.
Thinking about what the mysterious man said last night, Ji Ke leaned over his chest and asked, "Do I like Xiao Jin?" Why am I always reluctant to have sex with Xiao Jin? ”
There are too many unsolved mysteries in Ji Ke's heart, and I don't know how long it will take for these mysteries to be answered.
However, she believes that one day she will see her heart clearly.
Xiao Jin has been looking for an opportunity to discuss the child's affairs with Ji Ketian in the next few days, but every time Ji Ketian is either absent-minded, or he is trying to change the topic.
And Xiao Jin saw that it was like this, so he had no choice but not to mention it again, and he didn't want to force it anymore.
And the queen mother, since she talked to the emperor last time, and has been staring at Emperor Qinghe's every move recently, she mistakenly thought that Ji Ke might not be able to have children, so she began to look for a woman from a family who could be the queen.
Some matters are also beginning to prepare, and on this day, Xiao Jin went to Cining Palace to ask the Queen Mother for peace.
"Emperor, come and see, how are the girls from these families? I heard that the girl of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Rites is virtuous and dignified, knowledgeable, and the mourning family thinks it is very good. ”
The Queen Mother took a few portraits to Xiao Jin.
Xiao Jin didn't perceive the Queen Mother's intentions, looked at the portrait, and nodded, "Queen Mother, my son thinks it's very good, which family is the Queen Mother planning to marry?" ”
The Queen Mother put the portrait aside and said gently, "Emperor, this is the Empress Dowager you are looking for." ”
As soon as Xiao Jin heard this, he put down the teacup, "Queen Mother, no, my queen is leaning, not anyone else." ”
The Queen Mother didn't care about what Xiao Jin said, and said with a smile, "Emperor, the mourning family told you that if the queen can't have an heir, then she is not worthy of being the queen of a country, of course, the girls of these families are not the queens of the first time, and when they are chosen, let them be concubines first, and when they give birth to the prince, they will naturally be the queens of Wei." ”
Xiao Jin felt very ridiculous when he heard this, "Queen Mother, how can there be two queens in the Wei Kingdom?" ”
The Queen Mother waved her hand, "Emperor, the one who gave birth to the prince at that time is the queen, and Ji Ke will look at her marrying you first and let her be the imperial concubine." ”
"Mother, never."
When the queen mother heard the emperor say this, she slapped the table angrily, "Emperor, the mourning family is the biggest concession to the queen, if you don't agree, don't blame the mourning family for being ruthless, and it has been a while since I married you, but there has been no movement for a long time, and there is no filial piety." ”
Xiao Jin knelt on the ground, lowered his head, and pleaded with the Queen Mother, "Queen Mother, Erchen really loves to send it." ”
"Emperor, you have to know that Ji Ke has no maiden family to help you sit on the throne, and there is no heir, marry a wife and marry a virtuous, marry a concubine and marry a woman, do you know the meaning of these two sentences?" The Queen Mother earnestly advised Xiao Jin, hoping that he could understand his good intentions.
Xiao Jin's heart was still a little unwilling, but he also knew that if he continued to make trouble, it would be useless, so he had to agree to the queen mother's choice of concubine first.
Xiao Jin, who walked out of Cining, looked worried, what should he do after thinking about it?
Seeing that the queen mother had just insisted on letting Ji Ke give up the queen's position, she felt a very headache, and she didn't expect that the impact of this matter would be so great.
On the other hand, Ji Ke tilted and did not know his current crisis.
Because of Lian's sudden departure, Ji Ketian has been inquiring about Lian's news and has gone to find a lot of information, wanting to see where Lianyan is more likely to go?
To the surprise of the senders, there are many contradictions in the information registered by the Lotus Funeral, and a careful study will reveal that there are many loopholes.
Just when Ji Ketian was sitting in the lotus room, looking at the information, and returning to the palace, he passed by a palace maid's room, and Ji Ketian touched his somewhat sore neck.
When I was about to leave at the corner, I happened to hear the palace maid inside talking about her own affairs.
"You know what? I heard that the position of the queen mother is about to be lost? ”
"What do you know? Say it quickly, say it quickly. ”
It can be seen that the people inside are very curious, why are they chasing a palace maid?
