Chapter 684: Mother-in-law makes things difficult

But even though there are many hidden worries in my heart, I still feel very stable and satisfied when I am held by him like this at this time......

Rong Yunxi gently buried his head in the emperor's neck, and the emperor smiled......

Rong Yunxi could feel his joy at this time, but felt that it was worth it just for this moment to let her fight in Weiyang Palace for the rest of her life.

Everyone knows that today is the day after the closure, and they thought that on the way from Yilan Palace to Ci'an Palace, there would be a big guard of honor, but they didn't expect that the palace daughters and eunuchs who passed by saw that it was just the emperor holding the queen, just the two of them, walking in this long and deep eternal alley.

And according to a few little eunuchs who were bold enough to raise their heads, the emperor's face was always smiling, and he looked a little stupid.

Of course, this was all learned by Rong Yunxi later from the rumors in the palace. At this time, Rong Yunxi just buried his head in his neck and chest, but he felt so stable. She wants to let herself remember the feeling of this journey, so that she can use it to warm herself up when the night is cold in the deep palace in the future......

When he was about to arrive at the gate of Ci'an Palace, the emperor put Rong Yunxi down and took her hand and walked forward.

Rong Yunxi knew that the emperor didn't hold her closer, but she was afraid that she would be watched by the queen mother or the queen mother's henchmen and maids, and told her mother-in-law and mother-in-law to listen, which made the two elders even more dissatisfied with her.

It's just that the emperor can actually detect the dissatisfaction of the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother against her, which is really strange. Although the emperor is very smart, he will not put his mind on figuring out the struggle between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law between women. The queen mother's dissatisfaction with her has never been expressed in front of the emperor, is it just because of the rumors in Kyoto City, the emperor thinks that the queen mother and the queen mother will definitely be dissatisfied with her?

No, after all, in the son's heart, the mother is always the kindest and most forgiving. Even though the emperor knew that his mother was not a good woman who did not understand the world, he would never think that his mother would throw a face at her daughter-in-law just because of rumors.

So then again, why did the Queen Mother just show her face so clearly just because of these rumors?

After entering Ci'an Palace, Rong Yunxi's thoughts stopped. Seeing the coldness of Ci'an Palace at this time, where does Rong Yunxi still have a reason to think about it? It's too late to deal with the results.

Today is the ceremony after the sealing, not to mention how festive the decoration is in Ci'an Palace, but in the palace courtyard, there must be at least some female officials of the harem bureaus who stand to greet them, and they have lined up all the way in a regular manner, and since she entered the door as a child, she bowed to her; There should also be people in Yuefu who play great music together with the bowing of the slaves and maids, so as to show the honor of the queen. And the main palace gate of Ci'an Palace must be greatly open.

It's not that she's pretentious, but because this is the rule of canonizing the queen in the harem for generations.

But at this time, there was not even a single servant in the courtyard of Ci'an Palace, let alone the people of Yuefu. And the main palace door was closed, and there was no intention of greeting.

Li Zhonggui, who had been waiting in Ci'an Palace with the holy decree for a long time, was already sweating in a hurry. Obviously, just a quarter of an hour ago, the preparations in the Ci'an Palace were still in line with etiquette. But just when there was still a quarter of an hour left, the people of Yuefu suddenly came to report, saying that there was a Le Ji who was in the middle of a menstrual affair, and he was afraid of ruining the auspiciousness of the ceremony and colliding with the queen......

And immediately after, Liuli came to report, saying that Song Zhangzhen's family of the Sizhen Bureau had just sent a letter to her, and her mother died last night.

When the Queen Mother heard this, she reprimanded Xiao Sile of Yuefu and asked her to re-blame Le Ji for the menstrual affairs; But Song Zhangzhen was there because the loss of his mother was not his fault, so he had to comfort him.

Then the queen mother, in the name of inevitably colliding with the queen, removed all the Yuefu Le Ji and the officials and officials in charge of the bureaus who were standing and waiting to bow down. Just because one person is unlucky, he has already ruined the joy of the entire honor guard, and these people who are contaminated with bad luck cannot be allowed to stay.

Seeing this, Li Zhonggui was busy and wanted to send someone to report to the emperor, but was stopped by the queen mother. The Queen Mother and the Queen Mother took turns to ask him something about the palace for a while, and he couldn't help but answer. After so much delay, this is the time. I secretly saw the emperor and Niangniang coming from the window, and I was so anxious that I couldn't wait to blame myself.

Seeing that the emperor and Rong Yunxi were coming, the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother stopped asking, and Li Zhonggui dealt with it. But at this point, what else can be done? Li Zhonggui could only complain in his heart, hurriedly rushed to the door, opened the door for the emperor and the queen, knelt on the ground and saluted: "The slave greets the emperor, greets the queen, and congratulates the queen on her great joy......."

As soon as he entered the courtyard, seeing such a deserted scene, the emperor was also a little stunned. In the early court this day, he specially did not let Li Zhonggui follow, but asked Li Zhonggui to keep an eye on the situation on this side of Ci'an Palace, so that he could tell him the layout here when he was in the early court. Hearing Li Zhonggui say that the Ci'an Palace was indeed arranged according to the rules of the previous dynasties, and the arrangement was quite appropriate, he was relieved. So much so that now I see such a deserted scene, but I am not prepared at all.

Just as he was thinking about how to resolve it so that Yunxi would not feel embarrassed, Li Zhonggui opened the door and asked for peace. The emperor thought about it, this situation really couldn't be ignored with a smile, and he still had to figure out the situation first. So he beckoned Li Zhonggui over and said, "You come here...... I ask you, how did you get it in the study? But is it old and confused? ”

It's about the Imperial Study, but who doesn't know what he's going to ask? It's just that I didn't say it clearly, and I left a layer of unbroken window paper for the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, and Yunxi.

Li Zhonggui naturally understood what the emperor meant, and hurriedly trotted all the way over, and his legs and feet were as sharp as those of a young man.

"Greetings to Your Majesty." When he arrived at the emperor's side, Li Zhonggui leaned very close and said politely.

"I'm embarrassed to say what you foolish! I'll save you face! The emperor pointed to his ear and motioned for Li Zhonggui to speak in his ear.

Where can Rong Yunxi not know what the emperor is asking? So he took a few steps back and said with a smile: "I can't listen, but don't ruin my father-in-law's good name." ”

Li Zhonggui thanked Rong Yunxi with great gratitude, stood on tiptoe tremblingly, and whispered in front of the emperor.

The emperor nodded and said, "I know." ”

After hearing the reason, I was relieved. In any case, the queen mother and the imperial grandmother have not made things too ugly, and they did not directly disappoint these, but just made a nice excuse to send these people away.

Today is an auspicious day, so it is naturally better to be harmonious. Thinking that after hearing this reason, Yunxi will definitely take into account the overall situation and will not be picky about anything. With Yunxi's temperament, not only will she endure the discomfort in her heart, but she will also pretend to be a fool to comfort the queen and the queen mother, so as to make today's scene kind and beautiful.

So he took Rong Yunxi's hand again, strode into the house, and asked Li Zhonggui clearly: "What's the matter?" What time has it been, why hasn't the heads of the bureaus come yet? The people of Yuefu are nowhere to be seen! Hurry them up, let them hurry! Seeing that it is not even a quarter of an hour, why are you still delaying on the road? ”

Li Zhonggui was slightly stunned, but then understood what the emperor meant. Hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "The slave should be damned......"

"What's wrong? On a day of great joy, what is dead or alive? Beware of my tongue! At this time, the emperor had already walked to the door of the main house with Rong Yunxi happily, stopped and turned around and asked.

Li Zhonggui said: "The slave should die...... It was the minions who supervised the bureaus of Yuefu and the harem ineffectively, which caused chaos on the side of Yuefu and Sizhen Bureau......"

"What kind of mess?" As if the emperor had just known about this, his face suddenly changed, and he frowned a little anxiously.

"In Yuefu, there is a Le Ji who has a menstrual affair today, which is a red thing, and it is very unlucky; The Si Zhen Bureau is even more serious, just now, Song Zhangzhen's family sent a message to the palace, saying that Song Zhangzhen's mother went to the palace last night, this is a big funeral......"

Li Zhonggui kowtowed again and again, and said: "The Queen Mother and the Queen Mother heard this report, but they were very angry and punished Yuefu heavily. But the matter has come to this, because of the bad luck of these two people, has ruined the auspicious joy of the guard of honor, the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother for the sake of the queen's future blessings, had to send away the people waiting outside the palace gate today, and ordered someone to close the door to eliminate bad luck. ”

Rong Yunxi listened to Li Zhonggui's words, how could he not hear something strange? This is the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother who deliberately treated her coldly, but they couldn't be nameless and appear narrow-minded, so they instructed Yuefu and Sizhen Bureau to make such a show.

What Li Zhonggui said to the emperor just now must be the reason. When the emperor heard this, he felt that since there was a decent reason for him, he still asked about it, which was more conducive to doing things in a peaceful and amiable manner. That's why I asked Li Zhonggui. Li Zhonggui was smart, and in a few words, he took the responsibility on himself, and took out the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother, but instead became a kind-hearted person who was worried about her and angry because of this matter.

The emperor means to do today's affairs in a decent way, how can she come behind the emperor's will? It's not that she wants to flatter the emperor or be afraid of the emperor, but because, from her own side alone, she can't make today's post-sealing ceremony a joke. So no matter what, she had to eat this loss herself. This fool, she has to do it.

So he hurriedly entered the house, asked the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother for peace, and hurriedly said: "The Queen Mother and the Imperial Grandmother must not be angry because of this matter, these coincidental things are caused by the negligence of the people below, and it is also troublesome to study layer by layer." Today is a day of great joy, so let's not block ourselves because of the negligence of the people below. If the queen mother and the imperial grandmother are angry because of the affairs of the son-in-law, the son-in-law will be unable to escape the blame. ”

After speaking, he knelt heavily on the ground and said sincerely: "Please don't worry about the queen mother and the imperial grandmother, these false courtesies, the sons don't care about it." The approval of the queen mother and the imperial grandmother is what the sons care about the most. Now seeing that the queen mother and the imperial grandmother are so attentive to the affairs of the son, the son's heart is only full of joy and gratitude, and he doesn't think about anything else at all. ”

He bowed his head heavily and said, "The sons and daughters thank the queen mother and the imperial grandmother for their great kindness......"

These words are difficult for the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother to refute. If she hadn't said it all at once, the two of them would have interjected, and maybe they would have said something decent to stop her from making a show. But she was so sincere and anxious to be relieved, and for a moment it was so unstoppable that they could not speak. I had to watch Rong Yunxi kneel and bow down and be grateful, and put the two of them up stiffly......
