Chapter 50: The opening of the flower-viewing feast
Concubine Jing lived in the harem, but what happened in the palace naturally couldn't be hidden from her, so after learning the news, she found an excuse to summon Chu Jingxing into the palace.
"What you asked for before has now come true, the emperor should have completely dispelled the idea of marrying the Luo family this time, and he is not willing to give the old minister he cultivated to the prince like this."
Concubine Jing asked someone to bring Chu Jingxing a few plates of snacks he liked, and took a piece and put it in Chu Jingxing's hand, "You taste it, the rose cake just made in the small kitchen." ”
Chu Jingxing took it and took a bite, "What did the prince do?" Causing the emperor to be so angry? ”
Chu Jingxing has been busy dealing with the news from the northwest these days, so he didn't pay attention to the affairs of the capital, and naturally he didn't know the specific situation.
Concubine Jing told him about the matter, "The prince is also unclear, I'm afraid that he will be carried away by the long-term exclusive favor, and the emperor will be busy when he summons all the princes back to the capital." ”
Concubine Jing has always looked down on Chu Zichen, he is the same person as the current emperor, but no emperor can bear it.
Chu Jingxing breathed a sigh of relief after knowing that the emperor had completely broken off the idea of giving marriage to Chu Zichen and Luo Qianxue this time.
"Erchen has already thought of a plan, but now it seems that he can't use it, so ...... Miss Luo?"
Chu Jing's words were reserved, because he was not sure what Luo Qianxue was thinking.
Was the last recklessness out of fear of the royal family as a last resort...... Another interesting one.
Concubine Jing naturally knew what her son was thinking, so she unhurriedly helped the step shake in her ear.
"He is so wary of the crown prince, do you think he will marry the daughter of his loyal minister to you?"
"Son, you have never wanted to fight, so our mother and son tried their best to keep the peace, you also went to the frontier, and you did not return for several years, the mother felt uncomfortable, but the mother respected you, as long as you lived well, the mother concubine was fine."
"However, I still say the same thing, the emperor is not a tolerant person, now he just took away your military power, and did not do anything to you, but he was afraid of your prestige in the army, and he was afraid of hurting the hearts of the soldiers."
"However, I have been holding you in the capital and giving you the idle name of King Ning, and when the people in his generals are replaced by his own people, our two mothers will really have no hole cards."
"The same is true of the matter between you and Qianxue, power is a good thing, and with power, you can get what you want."
Concubine Jing wanted to talk to Chu Jingxing about this matter early in the morning, but her son had been gathering less and leaving more since he was thirteen years old when he went to the battlefield.
is all focused on protecting the family and defending the country, and he doesn't attach so much importance to the throne, so naturally he can't see the twists and turns behind it.
As a mother, respect his choice, but at the same time, think about his future.
"Mother, what you said about the sons and daughters understand, you can rest assured, although the sons have been in the military for many years, they should understand that the military power is no longer something that can be controlled by a tiger talisman, and the saint thinks about the northwest too simply."
"And the military power in the east is in the hands of my uncle, as long as the saint doesn't go too far, my uncle and I are still the iron wall of my court, if the saint has other thoughts, my uncle and I will also make another plan."
Chu Jingxing had less heart-to-heart with Concubine Jing, and he didn't want her to worry too much.
On the way back to Beijing this time, he had actually sensed the meaning of the saint, and it was difficult for him not to notice it just by the waves of killers he encountered on the road.
In addition to the people sent by other tribes, the Holy Lord arranged three groups of people, but unfortunately, he had already set off the moment he received the holy decree.
As a result, the three waves of Assassins sent by the Emperor failed to do so.
Seeing that King Ning had an idea in his heart, Concubine Jing didn't say anything more.
It is good to maintain the peace in front of him, but if the emperor does not move to kill, it is not a bad choice for his son to be an idle prince and marry a wishful princess.
Now, it only depends on whether the emperor is willing to let go of their mother and son.
Concubine Jing pulled Chu Jingxing again and said a word about choosing a concubine.
Although the emperor canceled Chu Zichen's marriage contract with Luo Qianxue, the matter of letting her hold a banquet was canceled without notice.
Presumably, the emperor had something else to say.
"You are not young, you should start a family, you have been in the northwest before, there is no one to serve around, the mother is not at ease, but you are not satisfied with the people sent to serve, then this time you can pick yourself, pick a satisfactory one, so that the mother concubine can hold her grandson as soon as possible and enjoy the joy of family for two days."
"Mother, the son has said, if there is something you like, I will tell you, you don't have to bother."
Chu Jingxing was thinking about how to determine Luo Qianxue's intentions, she was the first different woman he had ever seen, and he couldn't say how it was different.
But if a group of women stand together, his eyes can always find her accurately at first sight, and then he is reluctant to leave.
He didn't understand whether he liked it or not, and he didn't understand what Luo Qianxue thought.
Therefore, I didn't dare to continue to talk to Concubine Jing about Luo Qianxue.
Concubine Jing is a person from the past, how could she not know his thoughts, but Luo Qianxue has a special identity, and I am afraid that it will not be as he wants.
It's just that there are some things that can't come out of her mouth, go hard, and only when you fail can you understand what she said, power is always the most important.
So Concubine Jing was silent.
A few days later, it was the flower-viewing banquet hosted by Concubine Jing, and the palace was full of strange flowers and plants.
The Imperial Garden was also carefully tended and decorated, and the pavilion was filled with a table with a variety of pastries and teas for the ladies to rest.
Luo Qianxue knew that today's banquet definitely didn't have anything to do with herself, so she didn't dress up very well.
A white wide-sleeved streamer palace suit, with two simple steps on the head, simple and generous.
Luo Qianmeng is different, she came this time for the purpose of meeting the prince, so she naturally dressed up well.
The pink skirt is covered with a butterfly gold silk tulle skirt, pinching the waist just right, and the head is also delicately coiled, and the set of jewelry given by the prince is specially brought, which looks particularly public.
Luo Qianxue was bored and sat by the pond in the imperial garden and looked at the lotus flowers in the pond.
She knew that today's banquet was held by the emperor in order to choose a concubine for the crown prince, but she didn't know that the emperor also had the intention of giving Chu Jingxing a kiss.
"The emperor has arrived!"
Luo Qianxue was in a daze, and the voice of the chief eunuch came from the imperial garden.
Suddenly, the lively imperial garden suddenly fell silent, and everyone gathered in a neat and orderly manner to greet the emperor.
The emperor didn't know what good news he had got, and he seemed to be in a good mood, "Let's be flat, everyone just enjoy the flowers at will, you don't have to be so formal." ”
