Chapter 226: Listen to the Prince

Xiao Xirou did not hide the purpose of her coming, because at this time, the Queen Mother was angry, if she said the wrong thing and did the wrong thing, wouldn't she be angry.

The Queen Mother rubbed her sore eyebrows, sighed, and seemed to be talking to Xiao Xirou, as if she was talking to herself, "This night has really grown up, and he really married that village woman, has he forgotten his identity?"

It's a loss of royal face.

After hearing this, Xiao Xirou echoed and said, "This matter is indeed inconsiderate by the Prince Regent, but maybe he was confused by that Song Qian, so he asked His Majesty for this matter."

"There's some truth to what you're saying. The mourning family would not agree to this marriage, so the mourning family went to the emperor and asked him to take back his fate. Even if she wants to marry, she should be a woman with a family background like Liuyin, how can Song Qian be worthy?" But Ji Changye didn't like Zhao Liuyin, so he could only think about it.

As soon as she heard that she was going to find the emperor, Xiao Xirou did not go with her in order to avoid getting angry, but watched the queen mother leave the palace.

On the way back to the palace, Xiao Xirou whispered to the maid on her body, "Go and hand over a secret letter to the prince and tell him about the affairs in the imperial capital. Don't let anyone else find out."

If Ji Qirui can take this opportunity to show himself in front of the Queen Mother, maybe he will drive Ji Changye down from his current high position, and he won't have to worry about being divided in the future.

With this idea, Xiao Xirou finally decided to sit back and wait for the fisherman's profit.

The queen mother came to the emperor's palace, and when the eunuch wanted to go in to report, she was stopped by the queen mother, so she walked in without warning.

The emperor, who was reviewing the recital, was a little surprised to see that the Queen Mother had come, so he got up and stepped forward to greet him, "Queen Mother, why are you here? The eunuch outside this gate is really derelict in his duty, and he will not report it."

"It was the mourning family who asked them not to bother to report it, and the mourning family was afraid of disturbing your criticism." She originally wanted to hear if the emperor had any news here, but she didn't expect that she had gained nothing at all, so she could only tell lies in order not to expose it.

The emperor didn't care about the truth of the Queen Mother's words, he only cared about what purpose she came here now, otherwise the Queen Mother wouldn't show up on weekdays, could it be for the marriage of Ji Changye and Song Qian? He thought to himself.

The Queen Mother sat on the chair and said the purpose of the trip bluntly, "Didn't Your Majesty think of Song Qian's identity when he gave the marriage to the Prince Regent? Not to mention that she is a widow and has a child. Let's talk about her background, which point is worthy of the night? Ye'er's princess should be a young lady no matter what, where is the turn to get a village woman?"

Sure enough, it's for this matter.

The emperor sighed helplessly, and had no intention of explaining this matter, so he prevaricated and said, "Queen Mother, these two people have lovers and eventually become married. Who can influence it? Besides, the regent didn't dislike Song Qian's background, and specially came to ask me for marriage, where did I have a chance to refuse. Besides, this Song Qian is of good character, smart and clever, no worse than those daughters."

Although he was also worried that Song Qian's identity would drag down Ji Changye's career in the future, he thought that since Ji Changye was not afraid, what else could he say.

But the Queen Mother didn't think so, and insisted on her own opinion: "Your Majesty, you are too lenient for the night, is this Song Qian's poisoning and cruelty? And she's an ordinary woman, how could she meet Ye'er? It was definitely her deliberate efforts to gain Ye'er's trust, and I don't know what the purpose is."

Now she just concludes that Song Qian is not a good person.

Knowing that she thought so, the emperor didn't want to explain it uselessly, so he simply threatened the queen mother directly, saying, "Queen Mother, the regent is measured, since he wants to do this, he has his own plan, and I can't persuade him. Besides, now the regent insists that if he doesn't agree, I'm afraid he will do something, which is unbearable."

At least the emperor himself couldn't resist it.

At this time, although Ji Changye had lived in seclusion for many years, the military power of the forbidden army given at the beginning had not been withdrawn, and many ministers in the imperial capital had received his favors, and he himself was still riddled with evil diseases. If he didn't agree, he would be provoked to rebel again, or he would be injured

To get him to say yes himself, this is really unbearable.

And now Ji Changye will not do the first thing, because since he chose Song Qian, it means that he is not interested in power now. But the latter is not necessarily, the emperor does not want to lose a capable cadre.

So if you don't want to agree, you have to agree, don't get into trouble.

However, the Queen Mother didn't understand this truth, and still insisted that the princess Ji Changye was looking for should be as good as Zhao Liuyin.

But now it seems that the emperor refuses to cancel this marriage, and prevaricates himself, so the queen mother can only give up.

"It seems that Ye'er is so powerful now that he is going to be windy and rainy, and no one can hold him hostage. In this case, the mourning family will go, and the emperor will go to the mourning family dormitory for dinner later, don't forget." After that, the Queen Mother turned around and was helped to leave, without giving the emperor a chance to speak, even if she didn't want to go, there was no way.

Hearing the smell of yin and yang in the Queen Mother's words, the emperor could only pretend not to care, after all, what could he do if he cared? Could it be that he broke up with the Queen Mother because of this incident?

However, what the Queen Mother said also makes sense, Song Qian's identity is indeed a little unworthy of Ji Changye, so the emperor plans to give Song Qian a reward or position, so that with his own personal title, even if he is a small official position, others will look at Song Qian differently.

However, the question of what position or award to give has become a problem.

At this moment, the old eunuch walked in and said, "Your Majesty, the five princes want to meet Your Majesty."

"What's wrong?" The fifth prince is Ji Qixi, the little prince who fought with Yuanbao, but he didn't expect to be so noisy now that he is locked up.

"Back to Your Majesty, when the five princes were eating, they said that the lunch in the imperial dining room was not to their taste, so they spilled the dishes sent and smashed the plates. He also punished the grandmothers and palace maids who were waiting beside him, saying that they were made to kneel in the courtyard with a wooden basin filled with water. and if it is sprinkled, it will be scourged." The old eunuch told him everything he had just heard.

Hearing this, the emperor immediately became angry, "This Xi'er is becoming more and more unruly now! Treat people like this! It's all made Concubine Qi spoiled." This Ji Qixi has been pampered by Concubine Qi and the emperor since she was a child, and her personality is domineering and irritable, and now it has become more and more unreasonable because of the teaching that Concubine Qi wants to compete for favor.

The emperor suddenly thought that a position was more suitable for Song Qian, so he ordered: "You go to the palace of the five princes to spread the decree and release those subordinates, and tell the five princes that they are not allowed to arbitrarily punish them again. Tell Song Qian again, from now on, let her be in charge of the food of the five princes, no matter what method is used, the five princes will not find fault. If she can do this well, I can grant her a request, and I will give her ten thousand taels of gold as a wedding gift for her and the Lord Regent."

In this way, Song Qian can not only find the right thing to do, but also solve Ji Qixi's problem of eating later, which is really killing two birds with one stone, so as not to make him take pains.

And Song Qian was not happy at all when he heard this holy decree, he didn't expect to serve a person who hated him, wouldn't this be in a hurry to make people wear small shoes? And it was eating again, if he was like Zhao Liuyin at the beginning, slandering himself for poisoning, he was in Sulou Town at that time, and he still had room for defense. This is a palace that eats people and doesn't spit out bones, and maybe it will be assassinated by this kid at some point.

But she can't resist the emperor's will, so she can only accept the order, and then find a way not to make trouble for herself, and still satisfy Ji Qixi.

Soon it was time for her to go, and Song Qian hadn't come up with any good ideas, so she could only follow the eunuch to the place where Ji Qixi was now confined.

I didn't expect this place to be so remote, it's in a corner of the harem, and I haven't seen a person for a long time, so no one must have come on weekdays.

Looking at the many dilapidated houses here, Song Qian's heart also tugged, he didn't expect that this emperor was really ruthless enough to bear to send Ji Qixi to this kind of place to be confined.

Seeing her face full of shock, the eunuch explained, "On weekdays, if a concubine or a prince makes a mistake, she will be sent here to be locked up when she is old enough, and pray for the emperor, the queen mother, and the queen every day, and will also send people from the original palace to serve them, and they will return when the time comes. A lot of concubines and emperors

The son has been here once, and he will not dare to make mistakes again in the future, it is very useful, and it is still the rule left by the first emperor." As he spoke, he took Song Qian through a long corridor and came to a mansion that looked much better than other places.

I don't know if it's because it's cold, or because it's too gloomy and secretive, Song Qian couldn't help but shudder and said, "Can you not remember it for a long time when you come here for a while?" I'm afraid I'm going to go crazy again.

The eunuch laughed sharply, "Song Niangzi is really good at begging for jokes, okay, the fifth prince is inside." The old slave can only send you here on His Majesty's orders, and when dinner is ready, someone will come to pick you up. The old slave retired first." After that, he left without looking back, and it seemed that he was also afraid of the horror of this place.

Song Qian strengthened his courage and stepped forward and knocked on the door.

No one responded to her, so she planned to knock twice, but she didn't expect the door to open by itself, because it had aged from the wind and rain all year round.

Song Qian walked in, and after a short corridor, he heard Ji Qixi's voice coming from the inner courtyard: "It's all a bunch of waste! This prince just eats egg custard first, what is this! It's hard to swallow, that's how you wait, right?" After saying that, there was the sound of smashing things. Look at the book

I knew he had a bad temper, but I didn't expect it to be so bad.

It seems that this is really a chore, Song Qian quickly retreated, and was ready to hide from the limelight first, so as not to implicate himself again in Ji Qixi's anger, but Song Qian was discovered by Ji Qixi before he took a few steps.

"It's you! How dare you come! To the point where this prince and the concubine are now, you still dare to come!" Ji Qixi was immediately angry when he found out that it was Song Qian, and smashed the thing in his hand at Song Qian, fortunately Song Qian hid quickly, otherwise he would have to explain here today.

Seeing the arrogant and unreasonable Ji Qixi, Song Qian suddenly became angry, "I was sent by His Majesty to take care of your food, if you have this attitude, don't blame me for not giving you food." Children who are so rude will be punished." Soon she regretted saying these words, because there was a prince on the other side, and she was so desperate to say this.

Other palace people who watched the excitement also thought so.

No one dared to teach him such a lesson, so Ji Qixi climbed down from the chair, walked up to Song Qian, and said viciously, "This is the territory of this prince, you have to listen to this prince!"
