Jiang Jiuniang and Lu Baichuan's mood also dropped to the freezing point at this time, no matter whether this was the emperor's intention or not, since someone had begun to bring it up, this voice would not go down easily.

What's more, the emperor just told the man to shut up, and did not explain it, and defended them a little.

Sure enough, the word "meritocracy" is vividly embodied at this moment.

Jiang Jiuniang sat back with a calm face, exuding an angry aura all over her body, although the Sun family didn't quite understand what this meant exactly, but they also knew that this matter was not good for their family, and wanted to ask Jiang Jiuniang what the situation was, but was pulled by the old man Lu and said in a low voice: "If you have anything to say, go home and talk about it." ”

Only then did Sun remember that there were too many people around him who were inconvenient to speak, so he hurriedly shut up.

The queen was sitting on it, and she was a little uneasy to see Jiang Jiuniang like this, she didn't know if it was a coincidence in this matter today, if it was Lord Zhong's own intentions, but if it was instructed by the emperor, then she really felt a little sorry for Jiang Jiuniang.

She glanced at the emperor who was chatting and laughing with the courtiers around her, and she had an indescribable feeling in her heart.

Could it be that he has changed after only one year on the throne?

After the banquet, Jiang Jiuniang slipped away, if it was before, she would definitely have to go to the queen to talk or something, the queen originally thought that she would explain to her when she passed for a while, but she didn't expect her to leave directly with her family.

On the way home, Sun asked himself the puzzled question, "What the hell is going on?" Although the man spoke very hard, you didn't get so angry, is it serious? ”

She doesn't know much about the things in the court, and if she wants to ask clearly, it's not that she's gossiping, the main thing is to figure things out, so that she can have a score in her heart in the future, so that she won't make mistakes.

Jiang Jiuniang also understood what she meant, even if she was very annoyed, she still explained to her: "If it's just that person talking disgustingly, I'll forget it, I'm afraid that this is the emperor's meaning, it is the emperor who really wants something, or rather, the person who wants to take away the power in our hands is the emperor." ”

"What I'm really angry about is that if this is really the emperor's instructions, then we have really helped a white-eyed wolf all these years, and I have personally gone to the border to do so many things, and I have brought the queen with me to do business, what am I doing here, am I the reincarnation of the Virgin?"

Speaking of this, Jiang Jiuniang sneered, when she decided to help, she felt that they could get along with each other, so she tried to help as much as possible, and it didn't take long to be like this, and it will be in the future.

It's best not to force her, if she is in a hurry, she will move directly to Dongting with her whole family, who is afraid of whom?

Those messes in the Eastern Court, if the Eastern Court royal family doesn't handle it well, she doesn't mind helping them deal with it, and if it's not good, the entire female emperor can be in charge.

But that's just thinking about it, she really wasn't interested in that position.

When Sun heard her say this, he also knew that the matter was a little serious, so it took a long time before he spoke: "You mean, the emperor is going to separate from us?" ”

Sun is a very smart person, but no matter what, she is still a very simple rural woman in her bones, and she thinks that if she is good to others, others will be good to her.

They had a close relationship with the emperor's family before, and she really treated her as her own relatives, knowing that the queen liked her family's small pickles, and she had to send some to the queen at both ends of the three days, who knew that it would not be long before this was going to break up?

She doesn't understand very well, isn't it bad like before?

Jiang Jiuniang shook her head: "I'm not sure yet, these are just my guesses, I have to see what the emperor's attitude is." ”

Anyway, she is also the person she has helped with her heart and lungs, Jiang Jiuniang still doesn't want to make up her mind easily, and she still doesn't want to think so badly of the emperor in her selfish heart.

Sun nodded and said, "You're right, we still have to figure out the specific situation of the matter before making a conclusion, and we can't just wronged people." ”

At this time, it was already late at night, but the queen was reluctant to go to sleep in her palace.

"Niangniang, the emperor is still busy over there, can you rest first?"

The palace maid persuaded beside her, and she was a little worried.

After returning from the banquet, the queen was so worried that she didn't even hug the little prince when she cried, but only asked people to go to the emperor and say that she had something to say, so that the emperor would come here after he was busy.

During this time, the emperor was busy with things, and occasionally spent the night there, but the queen didn't react, why did she have to let the emperor come over tonight?

"You go and rest, Hongu waits."

The queen waved her hand, and the palace maid knew that she had made up her mind, so she didn't say anything more, just stood silently by her side and waited, the master hadn't rested yet, how could she go to sleep.

The emperor came in the middle of the night, and after the banquet he went back to deal with things, and the queen sent someone to say that there was something to find him, and he was not in a hurry to go back, thinking that she would sleep first when she was sleepy, and it would be the same if she had something to say tomorrow.

When the result came, he found that the queen was still sitting and waiting for him, and he was a little weak for a while, so he quickened his pace and walked forward.

"Why doesn't Xin'er sleep yet?"

The queen didn't answer him, and wanted to get up and salute but was supported by him: "It's an old husband and wife, what are you doing?" ”

He frowned and asked the palace maid standing next to him to leave first.

The palace maid left, and there were only two of them left here, and the queen said: "Now that the emperor is like this, the concubines are too late to panic, how dare they forget the rules?" ”

A simple sentence made the emperor chuckle in his heart, and his heart was even more empty.

"What are you talking about, I don't really understand."

His heart was so weak that the queen didn't want to demolish him.

But it won't work if you don't debunk it, after all, I'm waiting for him tonight for this matter.

So, she took a deep breath and said directly: "The concubine will say it directly." What Lord Zhong said at the banquet tonight, did he mean by the emperor? ”

"Why did the queen say this? I...... Am I that kind of person? ”

The Emperor raised his voice and tried to hide what he had done.

The queen tugged at the corners of her mouth: "The emperor just said, the old husband and wife have been trying to cover up like this all these years, and the concubines won't be able to see it?" ”

The emperor did not speak, apparently acquiescing.

The queen sighed lightly, and she didn't plan to play any dumb riddles with him, and said directly: "Although the concubine should not be in charge of the affairs of the court, what the emperor did tonight is not a gentleman's act!" ”

"The emperor knew in his heart that if there was no Jiu Niang, the emperor would not be able to achieve success so quickly. In the hearts of the concubines, the emperor is a good emperor who is dedicated to the people, and he treats his courtiers very thoughtfully. ”

"In the border war, Jiu Niang developed new weapons, reduced how many casualties our side had, won the victory ahead of schedule, and even went to the border in person to help the people on the border live a good life. She did all this because she knew that the emperor was a good emperor and worthy of her to do this, but why did the emperor do it tonight? Does the emperor want to hurt the sincerity of his loyal ministers like this? ”
