Chapter 137
The emperor was killed by the empress, and the mad queen was imprisoned in the cold palace, and martial law was imposed in Kyoto.
When it was dinner time, King Yu hadn't come back yet, Ye Qian couldn't hold his breath anymore and went to the outer study to inquire about the news.
The subordinate advisers in the study have received the news sent back by King Yu, and are excitedly discussing the next affairs, Seeing that the door of the study was pushed open, Ye Qian probed in, and everyone stood up in unison, bowing their hands respectfully.
Ye Qian knew that they were busy, so she didn't go in to disturb, she just beckoned to Jipinghou, "Daddy, you come out for a while." ”
"Qianqian is in a hurry?" Jipinghou strode out, closed the door with his hand, and laughed in a low voice: "Qianqian, you are going to be the queen." ”
"Huh? Yes?! Ye Qian was dumbfounded.
Looking at the stupid appearance of his baby daughter, Jiping Hou smiled lowly, "There is news from the palace, the prince was killed, the queen lost his mind under the stimulation of the queen, and pushed the emperor down, and the emperor was crashing into the corner of the dragon case, and died like this." Qianqian, your prince Yu is going to be the emperor. He has long known that this son-in-law is the dragon among people, scheming, meticulous, long-term and strategic, but he didn't expect him to ascend to the throne so early, and his daughter has only been married to the Yu Wangfu for more than two months, and she has changed from a princess to a queen in less than a year.
Ye Qian asked worriedly, "Brother Yan is still safe in the palace, right?" "The emperor died suddenly, and there will inevitably be some accidents under the chaos, and she is afraid that someone will take the opportunity to be unfavorable to King Yu.
"He's safe, Qianqian rest assured." Jiping Hou comforted: "The prince has long known about the prince's affairs, even if the emperor does not die, it stands to reason that he should fall ill, and the prince in and outside the palace has made all arrangements, and it will be fine." Besides, now there is no other prince competing with him for the throne, and the courtiers have always believed in him, and the queen pushed to the emperor, but more than a dozen important ministers of the court and the chief eunuch of the Qianqing Palace saw it with their own eyes, and there is nothing controversial about this matter.
Ye Qian was relieved, "Then Daddy go in, I'm fine." ”
"Don't worry, Qianqian, just go back and wait with peace of mind." Jiping Hou admonished.
Ye Qian nodded, she went back to the main courtyard in a daze, sat with her little chin for a while, and then came back to her senses, and ordered someone to send the dinner that had been prepared long ago to the outer study. He also asked the kitchen to prepare more of King Yu's favorite meals, warm them first, and then send them over after being instructed.
She has been married into the palace for more than two months, and this is the first time that King Yu has not come back to accompany her for dinner, and she has no heart to use it alone, so she pinched a piece of snack and ate it without a bite.
Bai Zhen and Lu Fei also knew that something was going on today, although they didn't know what was going on, but looking at the princess's face, there should be nothing bad, and the two girls didn't persuade her to have dinner, just quietly stayed outside.
Ye Qian bit half of the snack in her hand, suddenly threw it down, and hurriedly went to Wei Ji's yard.
"Uncle Wei, Uncle Wei!" Wei Ji's painting of a snow plum was at the end, just a few strokes, hearing the little girl's anxious voice, startled, his subordinates lost their strength, and a good red plum in the snow was destroyed.
Ye Qian also saw it and stuck out her tongue, "Uncle Wei, don't worry about painting, I'll tell you good news, the emperor has died!" ”
Wei Ji was startled, raised his head and looked at Ye Qian, Ye Qian nodded vigorously, "Really, I didn't lie to you." She quickly recounted the news she had heard from Jipinghou.
Wei Ji looked in the direction of the palace, and there was a bright light flashing in the phoenix eyes that were exactly the same as King Yu, his eyebrows, is this going to be free? I thought it would take two or three years, but I didn't expect that after only two or three months of separation, such a big event happened.
"Uncle Wei, don't worry, Brother Yan is a good talker, he agreed, saying that his mother and you can go wherever they want." Ye Qian smiled happily: "Uncle Wei, it's really good!" ”
Wei Ji also smiled, "Qianqian be careful, you can't be so happy outside, you have to cry tomorrow, Qianqian has to make a show no matter what." ”
"Ahh Ye Qian frowned in distress, "I don't want to cry at all, I guess I can't squeeze out tears." ”
Wei Ji chuckled, "Don't be afraid, I heard that if you smear ginger juice on the handkerchief, when you need tears, wipe them on your eyes, and the tears will come down." ”
"Great!" Ye Qian's eyes lit up, and she waved her little hand, "Then there's nothing to worry about!" ”
"What's worried?" Xiao Yanfeng's voice came from the door, he thought that he came back so late, the little princess must be waiting for him, and he couldn't wait to throw himself into his arms as soon as he met, but he didn't expect to return to the main courtyard, there was no shadow of her at all, only half of the snack she had bitten was thrown into the plate, and only after asking did he know that she had come here.
"Brother Yan!" Ye Qian ran over excitedly and looked up and down, "Brother Yan didn't encounter danger, right?" ”
"Nope." Xiao Yanfeng took advantage of the situation to hold her hand and pinched it, "Is Qianqian hungry?" ”
"Hungry. I want to wait for Brother Yan to come back and have dinner together, and the kitchen has made Brother Yan's favorite meal. ”
"Then let's send it here, let's have dinner with Uncle Wei." The overall situation has been decided, and there are still some things to discuss, and he will go to the study after dinner.
"Congratulations to the Emperor." Wei Ji took a deep look at Xiao Yanfeng, when he was just born, he hid under the back window of the study of Ningyu Palace every day and eavesdropped on his crying, obviously he was such a small person, but the crying voice was very loud, and then he was older, and often ran to the garden to be naughty, he hid in the distance and secretly looked at him, and then later, he was not naughty, but brought the little girl, he still remembered the situation when the little girl held a big scissors and asked him to help her cut the grapes, after so many years, he grew up and became the emperor.
"Uncle Wei still call me Ah Yan, in front of you, I am not the emperor, I will always be Ah Yan." Xiao Yanfeng also glanced at Wei Ji deeply, the two looked at each other for a moment, and knew each other clearly, even if they couldn't recognize each other clearly, the bloodline could not be broken.
Wei Ji's heart was surprised and happy, he didn't expect Ah Yan to know this secret, he thought that in this world, only he and Ah Mei knew, but he didn't know how Ah Yan knew, however, Ah Mei had already said that his son was very smart and sharp-minded, and it was difficult to hide anything from him.
The two didn't recognize each other, but Ye Qian didn't have any concerns, she was really distressed about Wei Ji and An Mei, and she couldn't wait to let them be together freely tomorrow, especially when she heard Xiao Yanfeng talk about red moles and scars that day, she knew the relationship between Xiao Yanfeng and Wei Ji, and her heart was even more uncomfortable, a good family of three, and she lived like this for twenty-one years. Seeing that the two looked at each other meaningfully, but they refused to break the tacit understanding, she couldn't help it, and shouted crisply: "Father." ”
Wei Ji's body trembled obviously, he looked at Ye Qian in disbelief, what did she shout just now?
Ye Qian's big apricot eyes blinked innocently twice, "Mother will be free soon, and I will sit with Uncle Wei in the future, if I call my mother and Uncle Wei, I will feel a little weird, since I have called my mother, it is better to call my father as well, anyway, in my heart, Uncle Wei is the real father." Father, you won't dislike me, Father~"
She was coquettish and angry, like a little daughter coquettish to her father, Wei Ji's heart was sour, happy and sad, and hurriedly responded, "How can I dislike Qianqian, if Qianqian calls my father, I can't be happy." ”
Ye Qian turned her head to look at Xiao Yanfeng again, "Brother Yan, I will call my father in private in the future." ”
Her little queen is really well-behaved, it makes people feel distressed, Xiao Yanfeng nodded, and followed her words and said, "Okay, let's call it in private in the future." Father, let's have dinner together as a family today, and when Mother comes, let's officially celebrate. He raised his eyes to look at Wei Ji, this "father" should have been shouted twenty years ago.
"Okay, okay." Wei Ji's fingers trembled slightly, and his phoenix eyes were slightly red.
Although there was no wine, the dinner for the three of them was also very rich, Ye Qian kept smiling, and the two little pear vortex ran out mischievously, she sandwiched chopsticks venison for Wei Ji, "Father, the weather is cold, eat this to warm your body." ”
Wei Ji smiled and ate, "Thank you, Qianqian." ”
Ye Qian raised her eyebrows at Xiao Yanfeng, and Xiao Yanfeng sandwiched chopsticks and tender cabbage sum for Wei Ji, "Father, eating venison is easy to get hot, let's eat some cabbage sum too." ”
Wei Ji smiled and ate, "Thank you, Ah Yan." ”
After dinner, Xiao Yanfeng first sent Ye Qian back to the main courtyard, and then went to the outer study to see his subordinates, advisers and Jiping Hou.
Early the next morning, Ye Qian entered the palace with Xiao Yanfeng. From today on, they will live in the palace, in fact, Xiao Yanfeng should have stayed in the palace yesterday, but he was worried about the little girl, and insisted on going back to the Yuwang Mansion, and today he came with the little queen, and both of them were more at ease.
The first queen murdered the first emperor, has been deposed and locked in the cold palace, there is only one jade concubine and a snow concubine in the entire palace is considered to have a title, the others are talented and beautiful, the jade concubine is the highest position in the palace, so she has to take charge of the harem first, she is not good at this, but with the help of the grandmother sent by the king of Yu, the female officials under the abolition queen saw the wind and steered, and did not dare to embarrass the jade concubine, but there was no big mess.
Ye Qian knelt at the front of the female dependents, fortunately, it was winter, she was already dressed very thickly, and she still had a thick cushion made by Lu Fei on her knees, and it was not uncomfortable to kneel on the ground.
Kneeling and crying for an hour, Ye Qian got up and went to the side hall, she had to move her legs and feet, and by the way, she called her mother over, she beckoned, and a palace maid came over respectfully, "What does the queen mother command?" Although the official enthronement ceremony will be held in half a month, Xiao Yanfeng has become the emperor, and she has naturally become the queen's mother.
"Go and invite Mrs. Jipinghou." Ye Qian commanded.
Soon, Meng Shi came in and saluted with a smile: "Queen Mother-"
"Mother!" Ye Qian pursed her lips in disgust, Meng Shi smiled, walked over and sat beside her, and touched her little face lovingly, "Qianqian has only been the princess for two months, and she will become the queen, and she will take care of more things in the future, and Qianqian will be tired." What she is most worried about is not these, but that an emperor must have three palaces and six courts, and her baby daughter will be wronged at that time. The baby daughter has been married to Xiao Yanfeng since she was a child, how has her son-in-law spoiled her daughter for so many years, but she saw it in her eyes, she really didn't know if her baby daughter could stand it when she was surrounded by a room of warblers and swallows.
Ye Qian poured Meng Shi a cup of warm oil tea, "Mother, drink a cup of tea to warm up, do you have a cushion tied to your legs, mine will be used for you first, and I will let Lu Fei make two more when I go back." "Said it was tea, but it was actually a bowl of batter, which Xiao Yanfeng specially ordered to prepare for her, because to keep filial piety to the emperor, it stands to reason that you can't eat for the first three days, at least you have to make a look in front of people, but the little girl can't help but be hungry, Xiao Yanfeng prepared oil tea for her, fried the flour until fragrant, and added peanuts, walnuts, sesame seeds or something, although it is the food of the common people, it tastes very good, Ye Qian likes it very much.
Ye Qian was about to lift her skirt and take off the thick cushion on her knees as she spoke, but Meng Shi hurriedly stopped her, "No, I have it, I was ready last night." "Yesterday, Jiping Hou went back very late, but she got the news of the emperor's death much earlier than others, of course, she was prepared in advance, this winter's crying spirit, she is better, at least she entered the hall early, and many low-grade women have to freeze outside for a long time.
The mother and daughter drank warm oil tea in the side hall, sat and talked for a while, and then returned to the main hall and continued to kneel.
