Chapter 54: Distinguishing from entering the palace
Qin Yingyue looked at the prince, and the prince nodded.
When Qin Yingyue got out of the car, King Chen went to look for her gaze again. But she still hung her head, and didn't give him the slightest chance to make eye contact.
King Chen got into the car, leaned on the window leisurely, crossed his arms, and closed his eyes to recuperate.
The prince looked at him and tried to speak several times, but in the end he didn't ask. What is this kid doing?
The prince was faintly uneasy in his heart, and always felt that something was wrong with this. How could the third child ever be such a person at the mercy of others? If he doesn't want to go to the Queen Mother, there must be a reason to shirk it. But...... Of course, there is another possibility, that is, the third child knows that this matter has been spread, and if he shirks not going to the queen mother, he will seem to be irresponsible. He couldn't afford to lose this person, so he could only go to Cining Palace with him.
I don't know what the third child is thinking.
But the third child didn't say anything all the way, and when he was embarrassed, he didn't want to ask anything. I had to think about it in my own heart.
When he arrived at the North Palace Gate, the prince hesitated slightly, but got out of the car first. In any case, the fact that the third child offended Qin Yingyue was real, and even the fourth child saw it with his own eyes. What else can the third child come up with to refute this?
It was nothing more than his rhetoric in front of the ministers. But these arguments, put in the Queen Mother and the Emperor, do not necessarily work. The queen mother and the father were not at the scene of the incident, and they didn't know what the situation was at the time, how could they conclude that the third child was not a quibble?
Thinking like this, the prince's heart became more settled, and his steps became more and more steady.
King Chen followed behind the crown prince, wandering unhurriedly, Qin Yingyue and Feng Beining followed not far behind King Chen, and King Jing and Feng Beiyi followed behind them. Several people were speechless all the way. The atmosphere that had been cheerful a few hours ago has completely changed its taste. Even if you change your place and walk in this imperial garden full of spring flowers, you can feel the embarrassment in the air.
The palace daughters who passed by curtsied their knees, waiting for the princes and princesses in the capital to pass, and they were secretly wondering in their hearts. Why do you look at the princes and princesses, as if they are displeased?
When he arrived at Cining Palace, the prince turned around and looked at Feng Beining and King Hejing: "Okay, don't follow, let's go play." It's not a big deal, one by one as if they want to distinguish between life and death. Go ahead, just go in with your third brother. ”
Feng Beining glanced at King Chen, obviously not wanting his third brother to follow the prince in alone. The prince and Huimei went in together, and naturally all the spearheads were pointed at the third brother. But I wasn't there at the time, so if I really could tell the difference, it would be a bit disadvantageous.
If she doesn't go over, the third brother will seem weak against the two of them, and the imperial grandmother will naturally feel distressed. But if the third brother also has people who help him, but these people who help him can't say why, isn't this tantamount to acquiescing to the prince's words, and he feels irrefutable?
Obviously, King Jing also thought so, pulled the wind to the north for a moment, and said, "Sixth sister, you go with me to play?" ”
Feng Beiyi is not about himself, he didn't want to follow for a long time, and after hearing the prince's words, he said directly: "Then you can tell the difference, anyway, this matter has nothing to do with us!" ”
After saying that, he went to his palace, and he didn't look at the people who were entangled here. On the way, he was still thinking about picking flowers, and he didn't seem to care about the progress of this matter at all.
Feng Beining glanced at King Chen worriedly, and had no choice but to say, "Okay, the fourth brother will go to my palace, I have something strange to show the fourth brother." ”
The two of them said and walked away.
At this time, it is inappropriate to say anything to King Chen and the crown prince, so it is still like Feng Beiyi, no one asks or cares.
There were only three of them left, and the prince said sincerely: "Third brother, in fact, this matter does not have to be caused by the imperial grandmother. If you make trouble in front of the imperial grandmother, the third brother will definitely be punished, and as soon as this punishment comes out, you offend your brother and sister-in-law, but the world knows about it. It's better for you to be sincere, admit your mistakes, and this matter will be over. ”
King Chen smiled: "Didn't I make amends to Huimei a long time ago?" Didn't my eldest brother have to make me have a better memory, so he made a big deal out of it? If I don't go, won't it seem that I really have a ghost in my heart, and I really have unfulfilled feelings and plans for my eldest brother's Huimei? ”
In fact, when the prince said this, he was testing King Chen, wanting to see if he had any tricks.
King Chen naturally heard what the prince meant, and the reason why he wanted to save face was to reassure the prince.
The crown prince nodded: "It's okay, in that case, let's go to the imperial grandmother to find out." You went overboard this time, my brother did this for your good, I hope you don't complain about your brother afterwards. ”
King Chen smiled: "Naturally not, we are just talking about things." How can it be because of this one...... Misunderstanding, and affect the relationship between our brothers? ”
King Chen was still smiling idly, and his words were not necessarily annoyed, as if the matter had come to this point, but it was still unimportant to him.
The two didn't say anything anymore and went all the way to Cining Palace.
"Slaves and maids pay a visit to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness King Chen." Jing Min saw that the two of them were coming, and they came out to greet them.
"Imperial grandmother is convenient? The two of us want to say hello to the Imperial Grandmother. The prince said.
"The queen mother is talking with the queen mother, and the slave will go and spread the word." Jing Min said.
The prince naturally knew that the queen mother was here. In case of trouble to the Queen Mother, what should the Queen Mother do if she doesn't punish King Chen? The Queen Mother does not punish the third child, how can this matter have a basis for scattering?
But the queen mother is here, but it is different. First, the queen mother can testify to this matter and ensure that it will reach the ears of her father. Second, the queen mother is here, and the queen mother is not easy to protect King Chen. Even, when you can't tell the difference, you can directly propose to go to your father to make the decision.
In fact, his original plan was to make trouble with the Queen Mother and find a way to let the Queen Mother invite her father to make a decision. But I feel that it is not easy to let the Queen Mother make such a move, and it cannot be completed by herself. Then I invited the queen mother to come over.
Even if it's a little embarrassing, it's important to succeed, even if it will make the third child laugh at and rely on his mother, it doesn't matter.
Hearing that the queen was also here, King Chen was still calm.
Although he didn't know what the prince had to do to see the queen mother, he could also expect that the prince must have arranged everything in the palace.
It turns out that this is foolproof, and it is to find a mother to help later...... Hehe, the eldest brother is really a good son of the Zhou family!
"Don't get me wrong, third child," the prince explained, "I really didn't know the concubine was here. It's a matter of the two of us, and I don't want to ask for help. What's more, it happened suddenly, and I don't have the time, right? ”
"Now that the Queen Mother is here, if you think it's unfair to you, why don't we come back another day?"
As soon as the prince's proposal fell, he heard Jing Min say: "The Queen Mother invites the two highnesses to come in and speak." ”
King Chen also ignored the prince's proposal and strode in.
Seeing King Chen striding in, the prince's heart tightened, and he felt that this matter was ...... It's not that simple. Did he miss something?
But he is already standing at the gate of Cining Palace, and there is a queen mother, so even if the third child has a way to deal with it, it is not so easy to succeed.
Entering Cining Palace, the queen was sitting on the lower left to talk to the queen mother, and the queen mother leaned slightly on the main seat, listening to the queen's jokes. Although it was May, the sun in Cining Palace was just right, and in the afternoon, the palace door was open, and the house was baked by the sun to be a little warm. Mama Bo stood on one side, gently shaking the fan for the Queen Mother.
"The sons and daughters greet the emperor's grandmother and the queen mother."
"The sons and daughters greet the emperor's grandmother, and the queen's mother."
The crown prince and King Chen knelt on the ground and asked the queen mother and queen at the same time. Qin Yingyue, who was behind her, also knelt down with them, but she didn't speak.
"Hurry up", the Queen Mother smiled, "I just mentioned you to the queen, but it just so happened that you came...... Lin'er, aren't you doing your birthday today? Why aren't you happy in the house? ”
"Huh? Who's that kid behind you? Before the Queen Mother's words fell, she suddenly saw Qin Yingyue behind the Prince.
Qin Yingyue saluted the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother again, and said, "The concubine is the prince and the concubine Hui Mei, meet the Queen Mother, meet the Queen Mother." ”
"What's going on? The mourning family looks at you, why aren't you happy? It looks like I've just cried. ”
"Yes, such a good beauty, why did you cry your eyes into a red and swollen peach?" The queen laughed.
Hearing such a question, Qin Yingyue picked up the handkerchief again and forced herself to sob.
Seeing this, the prince also knew that it would be impossible to wait for her to say, "Ask the Queen Mother to be the master of the concubine". Therefore, he knelt on the ground, made a big salute, and said: "Grandson has one thing, I implore the imperial grandmother to give a final conclusion and distinguish between right and wrong." ”
"What's the matter?" The Queen Mother said, "Today's birthday is a day of great joy, how can you mourn the family, what you said has nothing to do with happy events." ”
"Imperial grandmother, today is Erchen's birthday, Erchen prepared a banquet at home, and invited some sons who are familiar with each other on weekdays to the mansion to have fun. The relationship between the sons and the younger brothers has always been very good, and now the third and fourth brothers are in Kyoto, and we also play together on weekdays, so we naturally invited the younger brothers and sisters to the house. ”
But after three rounds of drinking, the third brother and sister said that they had abdominal pain, so the third brother accompanied her to Qinfang Pavilion to rest first. After a while, Erchen felt uneasy, so he asked Huimeiren to take a look at the third brother and sister. Na Cheng thought that the third brother and sister were not in the house, but the third brother, Xu was drunk, and he actually took advantage of this drunkenness to want to mistreat Huimeiren! ”
