Chapter 142: The Choice (I)

He Changan deliberately said the triple identity of Empress Herui, she heard Lu Cheng say a lot of things before, as a woman's keenness made her realize that the meaning of Empress Herui to the emperor should be absolutely different from that of Empress Chen, if the two people have the same meaning and are just a queen, then Empress Herui has also been dead for more than ten years, why did the emperor miss her so much for more than ten years, and even set up a dark room to worship Empress Herui?

When the saint was still the king of Wei, Queen Herui was already the princess of Wei, perhaps for the saint, the most important significance of Empress Herui should be his wife, followed by Lu Cheng and the biological mother of the eldest princess, and finally the name of Queen Herui.

The emperor nodded: "You came in today as the rightful daughter-in-law of Brother Cheng'er to ask for peace, and this daughter-in-law's tea must also be given to Empress Herui." ”

He Changan nodded, Wu Song had already prepared a teapot and a teacup on the side, and was about to pour water out of the teapot, but He Changan stopped him, picked up the teapot and personally brought a cup of tea into the teacup.

Watching He Chang'an methodically perform the tea ceremony to express his sincere respect, Wu Song said with emotion: "I can't imagine that a noble girl like the princess Niangniang would be so proficient in the tea ceremony. When the queen mother is still there, the slave has been following the queen mother, the queen mother in order to please the queen mother, but also specially learned these kinds of tea ceremony, if the mother still has the opportunity to see the princess, the heart must be very happy. ”

He Changan remembered that in the previous life, she entered the Yanqing Palace, that is, Wu Song was the chief eunuch of the Yanqing Palace, and the emperor also relied on Wu Song very much, but she didn't expect that Wu Song was once the eunuch in charge of Empress Herui's side.

The emperor treated Wu Song like this, and made him the chief eunuch of Yan Qing Palace, but I am afraid that it is also because there are probably few people in this world who can understand his feelings for Empress Herui, right?

And Wu Song happened to be one of the few people.

After finishing all the tea ceremony of Yishun'er, He Changan knelt respectfully in front of the portrait, holding the teacup in his hand, and said to His Majesty first.

The emperor didn't seem to notice that He Chang'an had already picked up the teacup, but sighed at the portrait with emotion: "When you were alive in the past, you liked to look at Brother Cheng'er who could climb and feel sorry for yourself, saying that when Brother Cheng grew up and reached the age of marrying a daughter-in-law, you would be old. But you see, now you can drink your daughter-in-law's tea, but you still look so young and kind, and you have never embarrassed others with peace of mind. ”

turned to look at He Chang'an, and waved his hand to signal her to serve tea.

He Changan put the teacup on the incense table, respectfully kowtowed to the portrait, and said: "The daughter-in-law Qin Princess He Shi asked the queen mother to be happy, and I hope that the queen mother can be happy forever." ”

But he sighed in his heart, and said silently to Queen Herui: Queen Mother, you have not been able to accompany Lu Cheng for too many years in his life, and in his later life, I will accompany him to realize his aspirations and ambitions little by little, and accompany him so that he can truly have a home he desires.

took down the tea cup on the incense case, gently sprinkled the tea in the tea cup under the incense case into a line, and after everything was done, He Changan stood up.

The emperor, who was quietly looking at the portrait of Empress Herui, sighed softly: "You are right, the meaning of your mother to me is indeed to have more wives than queens." But I can't understand how the old Liang Guogong before your grandfather, your eldest grandfather Bai Qian, was such a cold-blooded and ruthless person on the battlefield, and how she gave birth to a daughter who was as gentle as water. Your mother is too kind and soft-hearted to live in this harem where there are swords and swords everywhere. It was I who brought her into the high ground of this right, and it was also the vortex of this right, but it was also me who failed to protect her in the end. ”

He Changan choked up: "Although the daughter-in-law has never seen the queen mother, but now looking at the portrait of the queen mother, she can still feel the goodness of the queen mother." ”

"He's. You should also realize that you are worthy of being an aunt and nephew with her, and you look really similar, but I canonized you as the princess of Qin, but I don't want you to be as gentle and kind as her. Good is a good thing, but if you are indiscriminate, you will be killed by yourself in the end. ”

He Changan bowed his head: "The minister-in-law respectfully follows His Majesty's teachings, what should be good is good, and when it is necessary to make a decision to kill, it must not be soft." ”

The emperor sighed, stroked Empress Herui's hand on the portrait, as if he really took her hand again, and rubbed it before saying: "You are still different from her, and the daughter-in-law I chose for Brother Cheng'er should not have chosen the wrong one." ”

If she hadn't been reborn into He Chang'an's body, the original He Chang'an would have been very similar to Queen Herui in terms of appearance and personality, right?

He Chang'an said in his heart: She is the princess chosen by the emperor for Lu Cheng? Please, is that my prince asking you for painstakingly......

Who knew that as soon as the emperor's tone changed, his voice suddenly became serious: "The matter of Concubine Ni and Ji Guiren, you should be personally involved, I want to hear how you think this matter should be handled." ”

He Chang'an was a little embarrassed, what is the matter with the emperor! He said it to the empress, and he made his own decision on this matter, but he had to ask her opinion here.

The emperor smiled: "You don't have to feel too embarrassed, I know that you have just become the princess of Qin, and you have never been in contact with these things before, and it is reasonable if you have not thought about it thoroughly." I don't blame you for anything you say, I just want to hear what you have to say about it. I still remember that you also promised me and your mother that you should be good, and when you need to make a decision, you will never be relentless. ”

He Changan calmed himself down while analyzing the situation in front of him.

The emperor has not yet set up a crown prince, and it is obviously difficult to make a choice among the four princes in a short period of time, since this is the case, the emperor will definitely not be so decisive not to save a little face for Lu Yuan, even if Concubine Qing does such a thing.

Besides, the queen mother is still alive, and the position of Princess He Ping'an Yu is also stable, Princess Zhaoxing will definitely spare no effort to maintain the status of her son-in-law, listening to the tone of the emperor when he spoke to the portrait just now, thinking about who killed Empress Herui, the emperor also knows in his heart, if the emperor can really be ruthless and not give the Li family face, more than ten years ago the Li family will be half defeated by a crime of murdering the queen, how can Concubine Qing sit comfortably on the concubine seat for more than ten years?

Concubine Qing killed Empress Herui, and in the end, the emperor's punishment for her was actually just that she chose Empress Chen when she was established, which completely broke Concubine Qing's dream of replacing Empress Herui, but Concubine Ni and Ji Guiren, the two of them together will not have an important position in the emperor's heart, so far, how can the emperor punish Concubine Qing too harshly?

And Ni Concubine, although she is indeed from a humble background, has been in the harem for so many years, even if she can't say that she has made great contributions, at least she has no faults. And the fourth prince was born to Concubine Ni, and he can already be regarded as having a credit for giving birth to the royal bloodline. Ji Guiren has indeed wronged Ni Concubine, and Ni Concubine has suffered more grievances in the past two days.

Besides, Ji Guiren, Nan'an came in person, this time the emperor has no need to compromise with Nan'an, because it has been proved that Ji Guiren is not a miscarriage and lost a child, not only that, but also vainly trying to calculate Ni Concubine who is also the head of the first palace, but even if he does not compromise, with the current situation of Daxuan, it is absolutely not suitable to tear his face and start a war with Nan'an, how to deal with it, how to grasp this proportion, it is another difficult matter.

He Changan sorted out all the clues and said, "Your Majesty, the courtier's daughter-in-law feels that the blame for this matter should be mainly on the Ji nobles. The identity of Ji Guiren is the princess of Nan'an, and in fact, most of them are also Nan'an's tribute to Daxuan because of the defeat of Gili Fort. Being able to get His Majesty's favor is already Ji Guiren's own blessing and His Majesty's attention to Nan'an, but unfortunately Ji Guiren himself spared no blessing and tried in vain to calculate the birth mother of the fourth prince, Ni Concubine, which is really undeserved. ”

The emperor was noncommittal, but just let He Changan continue, He Changan took a few deep breaths, and glanced at Empress Herui, who was still gentle and obedient in the portrait, and settled down.

"Ji Guiren is ill-intentioned, and I think it is because I feel that Nan'an is invited, but after all, she has entered His Majesty's harem, so everything must be done in accordance with the rules and etiquette of our Daxuan, and such a thing should be cut according to the law. But in order to save face for Nan'an, His Majesty can choose to repay the death of the nobleman, and posthumously seal the concubine, and enter the funeral with the concubine's funeral. ”

The emperor still didn't speak, just glanced at Empress Herui with He Chang'an's eyes, but finally nodded.

He Changan finally had a little courage: "As for Concubine Qing, although this matter was not planned by Niangniang, at least Niangniang also has the crime of using unknown people." The daughter-in-law thought, it is better to let Niangniang copy the Buddhist scriptures in Jinse Palace for a month, the Buddhist scriptures purify the heart, and the next time the Niangniang uses people, she will definitely pay special attention to it. In addition, the holy decree of giving death to Ji Guiren and mourning is best to be brought forward by the Queen Mother, one to show to Da Xuan, Ji Guiren's affairs are His Majesty's family affairs, and have nothing to do with state affairs, on the other hand, the Queen Mother is also the aunt of Qing Fei Niangniang after all, and she will definitely help Qing Fei Niangniang, how to discern people in the future. ”

In the last four words of discernment, He Changan bit very hard.

After saying all the words in one go, He Changan really wanted to pat his chest, this atmosphere was really scared to death!
