Chapter 124: Cold Palace
Mama Yu returned to the palace at the end of the morning, and went straight to the queen's bedroom.
The queen was sitting with Concubine Jin talking, and when she saw that Mama Yu came back, her face was not very good, and she vaguely guessed something in her heart, and her face was slightly gloomy.
Concubine Jin quietly glanced at the queen who was suddenly silent, and when she caught a glimpse of Mama Yu coming in from outside, she was relieved, so she found a reason to get up and leave.
The queen smiled again, and asked someone to personally send Concubine Jin out, and asked Mama Yu to send the palace maid who served, and said in a low voice with her:
"What? Confiscation of the Rui Wangfu? ”
Mama Yu's face was a little tense, she glanced at the queen worriedly, and nodded lightly:
"It was Xiangye himself who politely refused...... said that the lord of Chonghua County was not the best choice for the crown princess, and said that he would personally go to the mother and His Majesty to apologize another day......"
The queen waved her hand at Mama Yu, stopped the polite words behind her, and asked with her eyebrows:
"Look at Mama...... What are Lee Sang's concerns? ”
His Majesty has long had the intention of hiring the county lord of Chonghua as the crown princess, and he has hinted at Li Xiang many times in private, but Li Xiang has shirked it on the grounds that Chonghua is young and is not in a hurry to get married......
But now the prince is eighteen! Mrs. Li will be able to make it next year, so this matter can't be delayed any longer......
"Isn't it because he looks down on Minghua?"
The queen wondered in her heart, it stands to reason that the position of the crown princess is so honorable, how can she be worthy of Li Taiwei's identity!
Mama Yu hurriedly said:
"What are you talking about? Li Xiang has always praised His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, how could he despise His Royal Highness? ”
The queen frowned:
"Tell me about it...... What does this Li Xiang actually think? ”
"Chonghua's temperament is no matter how pampered she is, so he will protect Changping's affection with her life, and this palace will definitely not let her marry in and be wronged......"
"Besides, Hua is not a person who doesn't know the importance of it, he has been taught by Li Xiang since he was a child, not to mention his fate with Chonghua's childhood sweetheart...... Even for the sake of Li Xiang's teacher, he will never neglect Chonghua......"
Mama Yu sighed, looking a little embarrassed:
"I'm afraid it's not these ...... that my mother thinks"
The queen raised her eyes and said in surprise:
"What do you say?"
Mama Jade lowered her eyes:
"When the slave maid went to the Rui Palace, Princess Showa should have understood the old slave's intention...... But suddenly Lu Shizi visited, and Princess Showa still called the lord of Chonghua to meet the guest ......"
The queen was stunned, and the tassel on her head shook with a step:
"You mean...... Changping Hou Mansion? ”
Mama Yu nodded:
Princess Showa was full of smiles when she mentioned this Lu Shizi...... When the slave and maid left, I heard that this Lu Shizi was still in the house! ”
The queen took a deep breath, as if she couldn't believe it:
"This ...... This can't be done, right? This palace has never heard of the intention of two families to get married! ”
"Besides, didn't I hear that Chonghua's kid was unhappy with the Lu Hou family? According to the temperament of Chonghua...... Can she take a fancy to Lu Xiao? ”
Mama Yu was also very puzzled, and as she was talking, there was movement outside.
The chamberlain stepped forward and kowtowed, and said respectfully:
"Queen Qi, just now Changping Marquis entered the palace and asked His Majesty to marry the lord of Chonghua. His Majesty ordered the servant to come and ask Niangniang, will there be a reply from Li Xiang at the next day? ”
The queen was stunned for a moment, and she was so shocked that she didn't know what to say.
"You said that the Marquis of Changping personally entered the palace to ask for marriage?"
The chamberlain bowed his head and said yes.
"You...... Do you hear me? Is it really the lord of Chonghua who is begging? ”
The queen couldn't believe it, so she asked someone to test Li Xiang's meaning, and Lu Hou entered the palace to ask for a decree?
The queen and Mama Yu glanced at each other and said tightly:
"What did Your Majesty say there? Can you do it? ”
The chamberlain did not raise his head, but still knelt and said:
"Back to the queen's mother, Your Majesty asked Lu Hou to go back to the house first, saying that this matter has to be discussed with Li Xiang, and then it will not be too late......"
The queen put her mind at ease, but when she thought about the attitude of Rui Wangfu towards Lu Xiao, her heart rose again.
The queen pursed her lips and thought for a while, before she said:
"If you go back to Your Majesty, you will say that the Li family refused."
"Slaves obey!"
The chamberlain saluted again, bowed and retreated to the door, before daring to turn around and go out.
The queen stroked her forehead, and her heart was extremely distressed.
"Queen Mother! Oh no! Her Royal Highness the princess has just become hot again, and they are all talking nonsense......"
A small palace ran into the inner hall with a sad face, knelt down and kowtowed.
"What!"
The queen was startled, stood up suddenly, and her face changed:
"Didn't you just take the medicine? Why did you get a fever again? Can the Imperial Doctor be available? ”
Xiao Gong said busily:
"Back to Niangniang, the imperial doctor has just gone, and he is taking the pulse of Her Royal Highness the princess!"
When the queen heard the sound, she lifted the corner of her skirt and went outside:
"Swing! I'm going to take a look at this palace! ”
"Come on, go to the Tai Hospital and invite two more doctors to ......"
"This matter is suppressed for the time being, and it must not be passed on...... Otherwise, this palace will be heavily punished! ”
Qiwu Palace suddenly turned over on her back, and Mama Yu did not dare to delay, so she helped the queen to go to the Chongxi Hall in Changping.
In the Chongxi Palace, Changping was lying on the couch sickly, his face was pale, and he looked very weak.
"Changping ——!"
The queen hurriedly walked over, with a layer of sweat oozing on her forehead, stepped forward and grabbed Changping's hand, half-wrapped her in her arms, and said worriedly:
"If you have any discomfort, talk to the queen mother quickly......"
Changping leaned on the queen's shoulder a little weakly, and shook his head gently:
"Queen Mother's ......"
Just this glutinous call, it made the queen's heart sour, and she immediately burst into tears, her palm stroked her long flat forehead, and it was really hot, and her lips were dry and peeling.
"Imperial Doctor!"
The queen turned her head and said urgently:
"The princess's fever does not go away, why is this!"
Seeing that the queen was angry, the imperial physician was so frightened that he knelt down and kowtowed:
"Back to the queen's mother, the princess's evil wind has entered the body, and the illness has recurred, and Weichen has changed the prescription for the princess again......"
"Queen Mother!"
Before the imperial doctor's words fell, the waiter outside ran in in a panic, and he didn't have time to kowtow and said:
"Queen Mother! Oh no! The Lingxiao Hall has just gone to the water! ”
"What!"
The queen exclaimed:
"When to walk the water? Call the guards! ”
Lingxiao Pavilion is a cold palace in the palace that has been abandoned for many years, and few people have always been there, how could there be a fire for no reason?
The inner attendant's face turned white with fright, and he said in a trembling voice:
"Your Majesty has just called the Hidden Fire Army to go with Jin Wuwei...... But the fire in the Sky Pavilion is too big...... His Majesty told Niangniang to quickly vacate the adjacent palace so as not to hurt the innocent! ”
The queen took a breath, lowered her eyes and took a deep look at Changping, who was lying in her arms, hot and sleepy, gritted her teeth, and finally let go of her hand.
"Someone! Gather the palace maids and chamberlains and go to Lingxiao Pavilion with the palace! ”
"Pass the order down, and empty the Qingyun Hall and Chaofeng Hall as soon as possible!"
"Obey the will of the mother!"
"Obey the will of the mother!"
"!"
Mama Yu suddenly remembered something, stepped forward and grabbed the queen's hand, her face was frightened, and she whispered in her ear:
"...... Soaring Tower! ”
"Concubine Jing was ...... back then It's the ...... who went in a purple shirt."
