Chapter 221: He Became an Outsider
Concubine Qi saw that the little prince didn't explain, so she decided that the old eunuch and Yuan Bao were doing something to the little prince, crying and asking the emperor to uphold justice, but the emperor said: "I see that he is intact, why do I think that others have bullied him?" Concubine Qi, don't go too far, no matter how lenient I treat you on weekdays, it's not a reason for you to be unreasonable today. ”
Finding that the emperor was no longer obedient to her everywhere, Concubine Qi knelt in front of the Queen Mother with the little prince, because she had just seen that the Queen Mother didn't like Song Qian, and if she was asked to defend their mother and son, she would definitely not be wronged.
"Queen Mother, you have to be the master of your concubines and Xi'er."
Yuan Bao clenched Song Qian's hand and said softly: "Mother, Yuan Bao and he didn't do anything in it." It was he who went in and cried, and then told the truth that we were wronged. ”
Song Qian looked at Yuanbao's calm appearance without crying or making trouble, and felt very distressed in her heart, distressed that Yuanbao was only facing these intrigues at this age, so she touched Yuanbao's head and comforted her: "It's okay Yuanbao, it's not something you did, and I won't blame your head." There is a mother here, don't worry. ”
"Concubine Qi, this king sees that you are stimulated and a little crazy, could it be that you are also evil? You open your eyes and take a closer look, where is the wound on his body? If you want to make trouble unreasonably, this king and Song Niangzi will not have time to spend time and energy on you. Ji Changye's voice was faintly angry, and it could be seen that he was holding back, but it was because the emperor and the queen mother were still here. Besides, he has never encountered such an unreasonable person, which is really annoying.
The Queen Mother seemed to still want to defend Concubine Qi and the little prince, but before she could speak, Xiao Xirou took the lead and said, "Concubine Qi, this kind of trivial matter should not have been such a big deal. Your Majesty's favor on weekdays, it is precisely because of your knowledge, gentleness and virtue that why is it that today it is gone, even pampered and proud? Now that you can't get off the stage, is that your way of life? As the first master of the harem, not disciplining you is also a dereliction of duty in this palace. ”
Originally, the people in the harem should be under the control of the queen, and these words also touched the emperor's heart, so he didn't intervene and let Xiao Xirou open his mouth to teach Concubine Qi a lesson.
"The queen mother, the concubine is not seeking justice for herself. It's seeking justice for the royal heirs, isn't it a crime of disrespect for such untouchables who don't know the height of the sky? The concubine just doesn't want His Majesty to be offended by this kind of person......" Concubine Qi was still arguing with red lips and white teeth.
The emperor also endured it to the extreme at this time, and angrily reprimanded Concubine Qi and said, "Bold! You are the concubine of my harem, who allows you to speculate on the king's will, not remember your identity, and act happily? It's really because I've pampered you too much on weekdays, which makes you so ignorant of the sky and the earth now. You've disappointed me so much today, and that's the end of it. Concubine Qi went back and copied the "Book of Virtues" a hundred times. You are not allowed to leave the palace without my permission. Xi'er will send it to the concubine first, so as not to stay by your side and become more and more unsightly. ”
With that, he waved his hand and asked the waiting eunuchs to do this.
When Concubine Qi heard this will, she was immediately dumbfounded, and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty forgives your sins!" Your Majesty forgives your sins! It was the concubine who was confused for a while, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive the concubine. ”
At this moment, the eunuch wanted to snatch Xi'er out of Concubine Qi's arms, but Concubine Qi hugged her very tightly and didn't let the little prince leave her by half a step.
Listening to the heart-rending cry of the little prince who was injured because of being scrambled. Song Qian, as a mother, was a little unbearable, so she said: "Lighter, children can't withstand such a toss." ”
The consequences of the eunuch's hearing were really light, but Concubine Qi was still invincible with one punch in the end, and the little prince was taken away, and she was stunned as if her heart was dead.
The Queen Mother, who originally wanted to embarrass Song Qian with the matter of Concubine Qi and the little prince, also chose to wait and see the changes after seeing Concubine Qi's fate at this time, and did not say a word, so as not to get angry.
Concubine Qi, who was godless in her eyes, was taken down like this, and this matter came to an end.
The emperor sighed secretly, but when facing Ji Changye and Song Qian, he still greeted him with a smile, as if nothing had happened just now.
"This is Yuanbao, I've heard Ye'er mention your name before, saying that you are smart and clever, and you are very pleasing to do things calmly. When I saw it today, it was true. "Otherwise, ordinary children are likely to be scared and cry for such a big battle, and there are few who can deal with it as calmly as Yuanbao.
Yuan Bao smiled embarrassedly, and then was taken to the back garden by the emperor, because the emperor liked her very much.
Song Qian was a little worried, because Yuanbao didn't understand the rules in the palace, what if he accidentally said the wrong thing and offended His Majesty by doing something wrong?
Ji Changye saw Song Qian's worries, and opened his mouth to comfort her and said, "It's okay, Yuan Bao is so smart, and His Majesty is an informal person, so he won't worry about these things with him." Just let them go, isn't it a happy thing that ingots have been loved by the monarchs of the world? ”
How many people in the world want to get the emperor's attention, but Song Qian doesn't think so. She would rather Yuan Bao not be rich and expensive in this life, and she didn't want him to be carried into this troubled water.
However, the emperor had already left with the ingots, and Song Qian could only persuade himself not to think too much, but quietly waited for the two of them to come back.
Xiao Xirou found that Ji Changye took advantage of Song Qian's inattention to leave here, so she took the opportunity to comfort Song Qian and walked in front of her.
Regarding Xiao Xirou's impression, Song Qian only remembered that this person was hiding a knife in his smile, and he was the one who wanted to unite with Zhao Liuyin to frame him, because he had no good impression, so he immediately became vigilant.
"Song Niangzi, you will definitely feel bored staying here, why don't you accompany the palace? How about a pastime that can also be used to kill boredom? Xiao Xirou smiled fakely.
Since the queen has spoken, Song Qian's non-go-go is to resist the decree, and she will definitely not be able to eat and walk around when the time comes, so she agreed.
And Ji Changye followed the emperor and Yuan Bao to the back garden.
The emperor first played with Yuanbao for a while, perhaps feeling tired, so he asked the eunuchs and palace maids to accompany Yuanbao, and he and Ji Changye came to the pavilion to rest.
Thinking of all the things that happened in the study just now, the emperor inevitably asked curiously: "It seems that you attach great importance to Song Niangzi, otherwise how could you defend her even if you offend the Queen Mother?" ”
His Majesty smiled. The minister did not ......"
"Don't say you don't have it, I can see it." Of course, the emperor would not believe Ji Changye's duplicity, and interrupted him a little jokingly, and then said: "You are not young anymore, what happened before should be passed." It can only be said that everyone has their own destiny, wealth is in the sky, and God can do whatever he wants. So the people before you are inseparable, and you have done your best for so many years. It's better to come out of these things. ”
Otherwise, would he really have to feel guilty for the rest of his life?
The emperor didn't want to see Ji Changye's graceful appearance, so he reminded him, and if Ji Changye thought about it, he had already helped him choose a suitable candidate.
"Your Majesty, the minister doesn't want to trouble anyone anymore. So I won't think about it again in my life, and I don't want to believe it even if it's true. "He's the wife of Geke, it's like there's no one gram.
So he can't implicate Song Qian.
The emperor had known about his problem for a long time, but he still did not give up and said: "Sometimes fate is like this, and it may be out of place or it may appear in the right good. But there are some things and people that need people to take the initiative. Since you are interested in Song Niangzi. Why not tell her now? ”
"I'm afraid of ......" Ji Changye obviously still had concerns.
"Afraid of what? You say that you dare to go to such a dangerous battlefield, what else is so rare about this kind of thing? Now tell me if what I just said was wrong? The emperor really couldn't stand Ji Changye's hesitation, and he couldn't wait to tie him up in front of Song Qian in person and say everything in his heart.
Ji Changye could only nod.
The emperor smiled with satisfaction, and then he looked at the ingots playing not far away, and couldn't help but sigh: "This kid is very smart, what I didn't expect just now is that this kid looks a little like you between his eyebrows, this is really fate." ”
Ji Changye listened to the emperor's words, hesitated for a few moments, and then confessed: "Your Majesty, in fact, ingots are the flesh and blood of the ministers. ”
"It's your flesh and blood...... The emperor froze directly in place, looking at Ji Changye in disbelief, thinking that he had heard it wrong, and hurriedly wanted him to say it again.
Ji Changye knew that this kind of thing was difficult to accept for a while, so he said again: "The ingots are indeed the flesh and blood of the minister, and the minister is very sure of this." I have been hiding it for so long, and I hope that Your Majesty will not blame it. ”
Until now, the emperor has not relented.
After all, Ji Changye had only been away from the imperial capital for a few years, and when he came back, he not only brought back a woman he liked, but also a child.
It's a shame that I'm still worried about what I should do if Ji Changye will be lonely for the rest of his life? Now it seems that I really think about it.
After recovering a little, the emperor asked, "How can this be?" What happened? Does anyone else know about this except me? Now he just wants to know the ins and outs of things.
"That year, the minister was poisoned and left the imperial capital and went to Sulou Town, but he didn't think that he encountered an assassin on the way, and it was Song Niangzi who saved the minister under the crisis, or twice, and there were some accidents in the first time, and there was an ingot. The minister didn't know about this matter before, and he didn't even know about the existence of Song Niangzi. It wasn't until the second time that he reacted, and then it was confirmed that the ingots were the flesh and blood of the minister. The minister only told His Majesty about this matter, and no one else knew about it except Changfeng. And including Song Niangzi, the minister was afraid that after telling her, the two of us would be disgusted and alienated from each other, so I wanted to wait until a suitable time to talk about this matter. ”
I didn't expect the story behind this incident to be like this.
The emperor took a little time to accept it, and persuaded himself that there was no fuss about this kind of thing, but he couldn't suppress the joy in his heart, after all, Song Niangzi is so smart and virtuous, and Yuan Bao is well-behaved and sensible, to put it bluntly, Ji Changye is really a good blessing.
"Assassins? Why did you encounter an assassin? No one else knew about your departure from the Imperial Capital except me, so how could anyone let an Assassin assassinate you? What's more, he only found out about this matter when Ji Changye left the imperial capital for dozens of miles.
Then he blamed Ji Changye: "Why didn't you tell me about this kind of thing earlier?" In this case, I can still help you, but you don't want to say anything, are you treating me as an outsider? ”
