Chapter 264: Mixed Tastes
"Don't you know? I heard that the queen mother is choosing a concubine for the emperor, once the person who enters the palace gives birth to the prince before the queen mother, the queen mother is about to become the imperial concubine, and that person is about to become the queen. ”
"Is this true?"
"Of course it's true, my aunt is on an errand in the Queen Mother's palace, and the Queen Mother always looks for girls from various families to find the future queen these days."
"But isn't it true that the queen can't have children? Why is the Queen Mother so anxious? ”
"Are you stupid? The queen mother has no backer, and secondly, there is no heir, how can the queen mother tolerate her? ”
The palace maid said confidently.
Ji Ke listened to the words of the palace maid inside, and his heart was mixed.
Walking in the palace dejectedly, there was no one around him, and he was busy with the affairs of the lotus in the past few days, and he didn't know that the sky was about to change in the palace.
Ji Ke leaned and walked, and was accidentally kicked by a stone, fell to the ground, and for a while, the grievances in his heart suddenly spilled out like flowing water, and he couldn't help crying anymore.
Ji Ke leaned over his body, buried his head in the crook of his arm, and wanted to pour out all his grievances.
I don't know how long it took, but Ji Ketian stood up and dragged back to Fengyi Palace with heavy steps.
Mingyue and Caiyue saw that their eyes were red and swollen, and they were frightened all of a sudden.
"Mother, what's wrong with you? You okay! ”
stepped forward to support the sluggish Ji Ke Leaning.
Ji Ketian looked at the splendid palace, although he didn't care about the glory and wealth, but after all, he was also married to Xiao Jin by Ming Media, why did the Queen Mother treat herself like this?
"Mother? Slave maid take you to the bath first! ”
Mingyue said distressedly.
Ji Ketian nodded, let Mingyue and the others serve to bathe themselves, and stepped into the pool step by step.
In the smoky pool, Ji Ketian thought back to the last sentence that the palace maid said just now, and couldn't help laughing, but he didn't expect that a palace maid could see it more thoroughly than herself.
Yes, if you want to gain a foothold in this palace, you have no backers, no heirs, how can you?
The hint before the Queen Mother must be an omen!
Lian Yan's departure, the queen mother's choice of concubines, this kind of thing makes Ji Ketian feel a little powerless.
The next day, Ji Ketian took a walk in the imperial garden and happened to meet the Queen Mother and Xiao Jin.
stepped forward, saluted the Queen Mother and Xiao Jin, and took a seat.
When the queen mother saw that Ji Ke was coming, she ignored Ji Ke and told the emperor with a smile about choosing a concubine.
"Your Majesty, what do you think of the tenth day of the first month of next month?"
Xiao Jin observed Ji Ke's expression, perfunctory to the Queen Mother, afraid that Ji Ke would be unhappy.
The Queen Mother also seemed to be aware of this, and deliberately asked Ji Ketian, "Queen, what do you think?" When the time comes, the mourning family plans to let them live in the side hall of Fengyi Palace first, and you can take a look and learn about it when the time comes. ”
Ji Ketian glanced at the Queen Mother, "Queen Mother, Erchen feels that the matter of choosing a concubine does not need to be so anxious. ”
The Queen Mother didn't expect the queen to be so direct.
As soon as she heard this, the Queen Mother withdrew her smile, "What does the Queen mean?" Don't you have to wait until the emperor is old to come to Zhang Luo to choose a concubine? ”
When Xiao Jin heard this, he hurriedly opened his mouth to maintain the send, "Queen Mother, the queen didn't mean that. ”
Ji Ketian saw that the Queen Mother was a little angry, but she really didn't want to make concessions on this matter.
"Queen, as a country, you must be virtuous and generous, and you must not be jealous, otherwise, won't you make the people of the world laugh at our royal family?"
The Queen Mother's tone was stiff, and she was not sensible.
"Queen Mother's ......"
What did Xiao Jin want to say more? was glared at by the Queen Mother, and then didn't speak again, "Queen, the matter of choosing a concubine is scheduled for ten days, and when they enter the palace, you must take good care of them." After all, you're still the queen now. ”
Ji Ke's mood was not very good, and when he heard the Queen Mother's last words, his heart suddenly felt a little cold.
Yes, she is still the queen now, and after a while, it is estimated that she will change hands.
Ji Ketian stood up directly, made a salute, and said expressionlessly, "Queen Mother, the son is a little unhappy, so he retired first." ”
After saying that, he left directly.
When the Queen Mother reacted, she was a little angry, "This is your good queen!" ”
Xiao Jin knew that Ji Ketian was angry, and saw the appearance of the queen mother, "Queen mother, you are angry, the queen she didn't mean to, please understand, she has been a little uncomfortable recently." ”
Obviously, the Queen Mother didn't believe what Xiao Jin said, and felt that her son was defending his wife, and she didn't take into account her feelings at all, and she was slightly dissatisfied with Ji Ketian in her heart.
Seeing the Queen Mother's increasingly ugly look, Xiao Jin kept apologizing for Ji Ke Tan, seeing that Ji Ke Tian was going farther and farther, Xiao Jin was anxious.
I had to say goodbye to the Queen Mother, appeased her, and left immediately to find Ji Ke Tilt.
Seeing that Xiao Jin also left, the Queen Mother said angrily to her grandmother, "Hmph, the emperor must have gone to chase the queen." ”
Seeing this, Mama poured a cup of tea for the Queen Mother and served it to the Queen Mother, "Don't be angry, the emperor is still very filial to you." ”
On the other side, Ji Ketian had just stepped into Fengyi Palace, and Xiao Jin grabbed his arm and had to turn around.
Xiao Jin let the others retreat, hugging Ji Ketian tightly, ignoring the struggle of the person in his arms.
Gradually, Ji Ketian stopped struggling and let Xiao Jin hold him.
Xiao Jin looked at Ji Ke with a bad face, and felt a little distressed.
"Ke Lean, you will always be the only one in my heart." Xiao Jin looked at Ji Ke tilt affectionately, and couldn't help but kiss Ji Ke tilt's forehead.
"Xiao Jin, you are the emperor, how much credibility can this sentence have?" Ji Ke couldn't help but question.
Since ancient times, emperors have been the most ruthless.
Xiao Jin saw that he didn't believe in himself, and said anxiously, "Ketian, I can't help the queen mother's choice of concubines, I don't want to force you, but the queen mother is very anxious and wants the imperial heir to protect my status forever, and I have no way to refuse." ”
It's not that Ji Ketian doesn't know Xiao Jin's difficulties, and he also knows that if he hadn't been reluctant to have a round house, maybe there would be a child between the two of them.
"I don't know, I don't know if I want to believe you? Xiao Jin, you are the emperor, and what about me? And what? ”
Ji Ke said helplessly.
"You are my queen, you are my wife Xiao Jin!" Xiao Jin held Ji Ke's cheeks, looked directly into Ji Ke's eyes, and said firmly.
Looking at Xiao Jin, who was as tender as water, such a look was endless, and Ji Ke's heart was shaken a little.
"Xiao Jin, if the queen mother has to be the queen at that time, what should you do?" Ji Ke had to think about the reality of the situation.
