Chapter 240: A Warm Invitation. Pleasure
After Ji Qingge heard this, a trace of surprise instantly crossed his eyes. But on her beautiful face, she did not stir up the slightest wave.
I saw the concubine in a pale pink dress, and she was frightened by her daughter's words. The concubine hurriedly stretched out her right hand and covered the little princess's mouth.
"Hmm......"
Before the little princess could react to what was going on, the little princess's mother punished the little princess to kneel down in the hall under the strange eyes of the rest of the people, and saluted the queen and Princess Xiao to make amends.
The little princess's mother also hurriedly knelt down and pleaded for mercy, saying only that the child was too young and ignorant. accidentally offended the queen mother and Princess Xiao in words, and asked them to be so cloudy.
The queen's shrewd eyes were surging with a different color that Ji Qingge couldn't guess. I saw that the corners of the queen's lips pulled out a faint smile that couldn't be lighter, and said
My sister was serious. Yan'er is still young, what can she know? Don't say that those who don't know are not guilty, even if they are guilty, Yan'er's third sister-in-law doesn't mind.
You are so nervous, it makes it difficult for the daughter-in-law of this palace to deal with herself. ”
"Thank you Queen Mother, thank you Princess Xiao......"
After hearing this, the little princess's mother breathed a sigh of relief. Removed the hand that had covered the little princess's mouth.
The queen smiled happily, and her eyes motioned to Ji Qingge to her side. Today is the first year that Ji Qingge has spent in the palace after marrying into the palace and becoming Princess Xiao.
As Princess Xiao's mother-in-law, the queen is willing to get closer to Princess Xiao. Taking advantage of the fact that the concubines of those forces are there, let them see how virtuous and virtuous she is to Meng Fei, the master of the harem......
Ji Qingge's intentions to the queen are clear.
She stood behind the queen mother, stretched out her hand to beat her back and rub her shoulders, and did her filial piety. After persisting for about half an hour, Ji Qingge saw the eldest princess Lin Yue wearing a light pink dress and walking into the hall.
A trace of doubt flashed through Ji Qingge's narrow eyes, and when she was saluting Princess Lin Yue, she heard the other party say, "Queen Mother, Your Royal Highness the Third Prince." May I ask Princess Xiao to enter the Cuiwei Hall with me......"
Take a look at Concubine Pang.
It's just that when he caught a glimpse of the yin in Di Jinxuan's eyes, Di Yuanxi stopped talking in amusement. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he heard the voice of the queen's mother
"Little sister, you can take Princess Xiao over. But ......"
The meaning of the queen could not be more obvious. To the effect that her relationship with the master of Cuiwei Palace, presumably Princess Lin Yue, who is their sister-in-law, is clear.
Today, Ji Qingge can be allowed to follow Princess Lin Yue over, all because the emperor sent Princess Lin Yue to invite Princess Xiao.
"Queen Mother, please rest assured, I should take Princess Xiao over with me and send her back." Di Yuanxi smiled knowingly and said sincerely.
The queen mother waved her hand, "Go ahead, wait for her to come back and have a reunion dinner." ”
Although the queen mother agreed, Ji Qingge did not dare to go to Cuiwei Hall without the permission of her family's emperor and creditor.
Because Di Jinxuan once said that it was rare for him to hate a woman, except for the mother concubine of King Yan!
It was that woman who took away everything that belonged to Di Jinxuan's mother, except for the position of queen.
It was the woman in Cuiwei Hall who gave birth to a prince and took away the fatherly love of Di Jinxuan and Di Jinxi......
Ji Qingge asked Di Jinxuan with his eyes, but saw him say very calmly, "Qingge, you go with your little aunt." ”
After speaking, he reached out and gently patted Ji Qingge's shoulder, and the corners of his lips outlined a smile that seemed to be absent.
"Thank you, Mr. Thanks."
Ji Qingge smiled like a warm sun, and told him softly, "I will rush back to eat as soon as possible." ”
"Okay, I'll wait for you."
Only after Ji Qingge's figure left the hall did Di Jinxuan be led by Gonggong Liu of Baguio Palace and walked into the elegant room on the right side of the hall to rest.
After all, he was a little exhausted after working for most of the night.
As soon as he lay down on the soft couch in the private room, Di Jinxuan heard Gonggong Liu knock on the door, stood outside the door and said, "Your Royal Highness the Third Prince, those concubines who came to ask for peace, have all left. ”
This kind of thing, do you need to report it to him?
A trace of impatience flashed in Di Jinxuan's eyes, and he said coldly, "Shut up." ”
But at that moment, the door of the private room was opened. When he looked up, he saw his mother standing at the door of the private room.
Standing behind the queen's mother is the queen's personal maidservant, Aunt Guo.
The queen looked at Di Jinxuan with gentle eyes, and asked softly, "Yongnian, don't rest in Ya Room, beware of catching a cold." He immediately instructed Liu Gong to be fair
“……”
"Queen Mother, the sons are not tired, so there is no need to show up." Di Jinxuan smiled awkwardly, and explained softly after the queen came to sit down beside him.
After the door of the private room was closed by Duke Liu, Aunt Guo made tea for Di Jinxuan.
Di Jinxuan took the tea and drank half a cup of refreshment. I saw that the facial expression of his mother became more and more solemn. I don't understand
"Mother, do you have something on your mind?"
"Yongnian, you were almost assassinated at the Dongling Inn, how can you hide it from your mother?"
The queen had tears oozing from the corners of her eyes, her lips twitched, and she said with a look of resentment, "Maybe if the queen mother doesn't marry your father, you can be happier than now."
Sometimes, the queen mother is very envious of your little aunt, Princess Lin Yue. ”
Although the eldest princess of Linyue, Emperor Yuanxi, has not married yet, in her lifetime, there is a man who treats her well. That person is Sikong Junfeng, the general of the auxiliary country.
The queen in the palace knew that her husband, Emperor Yuxia, was able to succeed in winning the throne that year, which was inseparable from the help of the Sikong family, the Ji family and other families.
But for the heroes who helped Emperor Yuxia win the succession, they have not been valued much by Emperor Yuxia.
In order to suppress the power of the Ji family, the emperor reused Yu Taiwei and others.
And Sikong Junfeng, who has always been loyal to the emperor, is not as official as Ji Mochen, who saved the emperor.
Regarding this matter, Concubine Pang, who is a relative of Sikong Junfeng, did not mention it much. However, the queen once expressed her doubts to the emperor, but only received a cold answer from the emperor
"Don't get involved in politics."
Although the queen knows very well that Di Yuxia can succeed in winning the heir, it is due to Emperor Yuanxi. But she did not defend herself in front of the emperor. Even if she really wanted to ask the emperor
"General Sikong's loyalty to the imperial court has nothing to do with his infatuation with his little sister?"
Two days later, the queen learned something from the maid she had installed in the Cuiwei Palace.
The emperor asked Concubine Pang, "Qionghua, why don't you complain about General Sikong?" ”
"Your Majesty, the concubine is just a woman's family. How can you ask about the affairs of the DPRK and China? A trace of apology flashed in Concubine Pang's eyes, and she said in a deep voice
"What's more, the body of the concubine still has the blood of the king of the Xiliang Kingdom and the ...... of the Emperor of the Fallen Country of the "
The queen has always hated Concubine Pang, after hearing about the relationship between Concubine Pang and the emperor. She only coldly told the palace maid four words
"Gestures."
An hour later, Ji Qingge returned to Baguio Palace and had a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in the palace with Emperor Jinxuan. Without the emperor at the table, the queen will always mention it intentionally or unintentionally.
The queen just asked Di Jinxuan, "Your father ...... the emperor"
After getting Di Jinxuan's answer, the empress immediately asked Di Jinxi again, "Xi'er, your father and emperor will not come back for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner." How many years has your father and emperor not had a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with us!? ”
