Chapter Ninety-Three: The Empress of Southern Xinjiang
The Warm Pavilions are still the same as before, but they are a little colder than before.
As soon as the crown princess and the personal maid arrived at the Nuanwen Pavilion, the Gao family sent a few people to serve them.
Zhu Ye was not polite, and directly ordered the two little maids to put charcoal fire in the room, and made some hot soup in the small kitchen.
Only then did the crown princess order, "Send someone to deliver a message to the prince's mansion, and say that I will not go back." ”
Zhu Qing hurriedly responded.
However, after only a cup of tea, Zhu Ye came up and said back and forth, "Niangniang, Aunt Li is here." ”
"Aunt Li?" The crown princess was puzzled for a moment, and then said, "Let her in!" ”
"Say hello to the crown princess." Aunt Li is still respectful and polite.
The crown princess smiled, "Auntie doesn't have to be so polite, speaking of which, auntie should be my elder." ”
Aunt Li's face was a little cramped, "It's just half a slave, where can I take on the role of the crown princess as an elder." ”
The crown princess was surprised, "Why should my aunt be presumptuous, my aunt is just modest, I'm afraid it will drag down the third sister." My aunt looks down on herself so much, won't she let others look down on the third sister? ”
Aunt Li's face was pale, and she hurriedly said, "What the crown princess said is that I said something wrong." ”
The crown princess asked directly, "Auntie should have something to say when she comes over now, right?" ”
Aunt Li stopped talking again.
The crown princess comforted, "Auntie has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”
Aunt Li said, "I was suspicious, and even the prime minister and his wife didn't find out the clues." ”
The crown princess asked suspiciously, "What?" ”
Aunt Li took a deep breath and said without scruples, "Mama Zhang's body has always been strong, but this time she was just infected with the wind cold, but she didn't expect that she would go like this." ”
"Does my aunt know anything?" The crown princess asked affirmatively.
Aunt Li nodded and said cautiously, "The little girl who serves Mama Zhang has a very good relationship with the girl in my yard. I've only heard about it today. ”
"What's the matter?" The crown princess asked with some urgency.
"I heard that Mama Zhang received a letter from nowhere, and then she fell ill, and gradually, her body became weaker and weaker." Aunt Li said.
"Auntie, do you know what kind of letter it is?" The crown princess asked.
Aunt Li shook her head and said, "Listen to that girl, after Mama Zhang read the letter, she burned it." What's in it, no one knows. ”
The crown princess looked disappointed, "I know, thank you aunt for telling me this." ”
Aunt Li said bluntly, "Actually, I know that Mama Zhang may know the real cause of Madame's death, so she came to tell the crown princess." ”
The crown princess was surprised, "What else does my aunt know?" ”
Aunt Li said with a smile, "The crown princess doesn't have to worry too much, I am the son of the Prime Minister's family, and I have been in the mansion since my wife entered the mansion." So there are some things that I've heard a little bit about. ”
"Back then, I thought it was Aunt Song who did it, and even I thought it was Aunt Song who did it. But after thinking about it, I found that this matter was not so simple at all. ”
"I can only see some clues, as for what is going on, I really don't know."
The crown princess's face was dark, "It was indeed difficult to start the matter back then, but I will not give up on investigating." ”
Aunt Li stood up cautiously, "Crown Princess, take a good rest!" I'll quit first. ”
"Auntie, go slowly."
"Bamboo leaves, send Aunt Li."
After dealing with Mama Zhang's funeral, it was already three days later. As soon as the crown princess returned to the prince's mansion, Concubine Zhang made a fuss.
Originally, Concubine Zhang thought that the silver silk charcoal distributed to her by Gongzhong was much less.
When it came to the crown princess, the crown princess had to handle it impartially. After checking it, I found out that it was Concubine Jing who asked for some more silver charcoal.
turned out to be so, and the crown princess had to reprimand Concubine Jingbian.
But Concubine Jing was also very unconvinced, she thought that her status was higher than that of Concubine Zhang, even if she used more silver charcoal, it should be.
The crown princess was already upset, but as a result, she was made big by Concubine Jing and Concubine Zhang.
The crown princess shook her hand, picked her son, and directly asked the side concubine and Concubine Zhang to go to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for comment. But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not in the mansion for a while, which was really embarrassing.
The crown princess was upset, and was annoyed by the side concubine and Concubine Zhang, so she reprimanded Concubine Jing and Concubine Zhang with a thunderous force.
also showed that everything should be handled impartially, and he insisted on moving the silver silk charcoal that Concubine Jing had occupied in the past to Concubine Zhang.
Concubine Zhang got the benefit, thanked the princess with satisfaction, and then twisted her waist and went to the Yueyue Residence.
But Concubine Jing held a grudge against the crown princess because of this, and even showed it on her face, and left Hui Yaxuan with a cold snort.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came back in the evening, and after hearing about the matter, he did not intervene in dealing with it. I only told the crown princess about the envoy of the southern Xinjiang country.
"The queen of the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom is already on her way to Western Chu, and she will be able to reach the capital of the Western Chu Kingdom in less than ten days." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said.
The crown princess looked expectant, "In ten days, we will be able to meet." ”
"But Ning Guogong is dead, even if he can take revenge, he can't kill the enemy." The crown princess said with some disappointment.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sneered, "Who said there is no chance of revenge? What if Ning Guogong hadn't died? ”
The crown princess was shocked at the moment, "What? Ning Guogong didn't die? ”
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince nodded gloomily, "As far as I know, it should be Princess Qi who conspired with her to rescue Ning Guogong, and found a scapegoat to cut off Ning Guogong's head instead of Ning Guogong." ”
"They are so bold!" The crown princess said angrily.
"I have quietly sent someone to find Ning Guogong, and when the queen of the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom arrives in the Western Chu Kingdom, it will be the death date of Ning Guogong."
"Rest!" The crown princess said weakly.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knew that the Crown Princess was in a bad mood, so he only hugged the Crown Princess and slept with him.
On September 9, the day of the Double Ninth Festival, the honor guard of the queen of the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom entered the Western Chu Kingdom.
The emperor was overjoyed and set up a very grand banquet for this purpose.
After the third tour of the wine country, the queen of the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom said to the emperor without being arrogant or humble, "Your Majesty, this palace came to the Western Chu Kingdom today, in addition to the provincial relatives, but also for the grievances of the mother family. ”
The emperor pretended to be confused and said, "What does the queen mean by this?" Could it be that the Wenguo Mansion was wronged? ”
The Empress of the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom said loudly, "That's right. ”
When the emperor heard this, he laughed, "The queen is not joking, right?" ”
The queen of the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom also sneered, "Now that I am the mother of a country, my words are naturally well-founded, how can I speak at will?" ”
The emperor pondered for a moment, and said very cautiously, "I will order someone to investigate this matter thoroughly, and ask the empress to wait a few days." ”
Only then did the queen of the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom soften her tone, "The emperor has bothered, thank you emperor." ”
"The queen is too polite, the Duke of Wen is a subject of the Western Chu State, and I naturally have the responsibility to investigate this matter."
"Come, keep drinking." The emperor raised his glass and said loudly.
When the banquet was dispersed, the queen of the southern Xinjiang country left the palace and settled in the post house.
The crown princess openly handed over a post to the queen of the southern Xinjiang country, asking to meet.
And the queen of the southern Xinjiang country also responded.
In the post house, in front of everyone, the crown princess saluted the queen of the southern Xinjiang country, "Meet the queen." ”
The queen of the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom moved slightly, and said virtuously and generously, "Excuse me!" ”
"You all go down, the palace wants to talk to the crown princess for a while." The Empress of the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom commanded.
"Yes."
After everyone in the palace went down, the queen mother choked up and said, "Sister Wenjin." ”
The crown princess also choked up, "Sister Qingxi." ”
The two cousins hugged each other and cried, Lin Qingxi choked up and said, "It's only been a little over a year, and so many changes have happened. ”
"Me and Song Yi, you and Han Yuanxi, as well as Yun Jin and Qingfeng, didn't even put all their minds into it, it can be said that they are making people!"
The crown princess asked anxiously, "Sister, how are you doing well in the Southern Frontier Country, but is the emperor of the Southern Frontier Country good to you?" ”
Lin Qingxi smiled bitterly, "As the so-called husband and wife in distress, I cured his leg disease for him, and offered him a plan to make him the emperor." His heart is grateful for my goodness, but he is good for me. ”
"What about you, is the prince good to you?" Lin Qingxi also asked with concern.
The crown princess smiled reluctantly, "I don't know what has been created, His Royal Highness the crown prince has always liked me, and now that I am the crown princess, he is extremely considerate to me." ”
"That's good." Lin Qingxi breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's right." The crown princess said suddenly.
"Ning Guogong is not dead, the person who cut off his head before was just a stand-in for Ning Guogong."
"What?" Lin Qingxi was indignant.
"Ning Guogong has done so many hurtful and heinous things, and he is still alive and well?"
The crown princess hurriedly comforted, "Sister, rest assured, His Royal Highness the crown prince has already sent someone to track down the whereabouts of Ning Guogong." ”
Lin Qingxi settled down a little, "It's really Prince Lao." ”
"Our sisters haven't seen each other for a long time, let's not talk about those troubles, let's talk about the boudoir!" Lin Qingxi said softly.
Above the court, the emperor found out with a thunderous force that the Wenguo Mansion was framed. This matter turned out to be the work of Ning Guogong, Ning Guogong was dead, and the emperor only restored the reputation of the Wenguo Mansion, and there was no follow-up.
An official in the south caught a person who formed a gang without permission and occupied the mountain. After careful investigation, it was found that this was Ning Guogong, who should be beheaded.
The junior official in the south didn't dare to be careless, so he was busy repairing a book and sending it to the capital.
The emperor was furious and sent someone to take Ning Guogong back to the capital, and carefully interrogated who secretly released Ning Guogong.
Ning Guogong only said that the old faction rescued him, and the rest did not mention a word.
The Empress of the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom was very angry, and the emperor, in order to appease the Empress of the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom, ordered the execution of Ling Chi, the Duke of Ningguo.
At this time, the empress of the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom said, "The grievances of the Wenguo Mansion have been cleared. The palace thanks the emperor for impartially enforcing the law. ”
The emperor said with a smile, "The queen finally returned to her home country once, so it is better to stay in Xichu for a while to relive the scenery of her home country." ”
This is exactly what the queen of the southern Xinjiang country meant, "Thank you to the emperor, this palace has this intention." ”
