Chapter 49: The Hidden Chess Pieces Come into Play
Three days later, the Marquis of Pingyang entered the palace with his wife.
Pingyang Hou went to see the emperor, and Mrs. Pingyang Hou went to see the queen.
Zhou Ning sat on the top seat, and waited for Xue Liu's kowtow before he helped him and said, "Mrs. Hou, please get up quickly." β
"Courtier, thank you."
"Things are going well at home."
"Thanks to my mother, everything is going well." Xue Liushi sat on the chair, tidied up the women's court clothes, straightened his back, and leaned sideways in the direction of Zhou Ning, his face full of respect.
"This palace has a fight with Xue Meiren's sisters, it's really heartbreaking.
The emperor also often thinks of Xue Meiren, and talks about the past scenes with Xue Meiren in the palace, and he is sad, and now he has no intention of the harem.
I'm not afraid of Mrs. Hou's jokes, the palace is in poor health and can't have children, and now the emperor has no children under his knees...... Hey......"
She sighed heavily.
Mrs. Hou said with a straight face: "The emperor should take care of the dragon's body." β
"I don't know if Pingyang Hou Ke has other sisters? Why don't you send it over to Hongu as a companion? Zhou Ning's words meant to send another one into the palace to accompany him.
Xue Liushi hurriedly knelt down and said: "The husband's family has no sisters, and there are a few sisters, but they have all broken off contact a few years ago. β
Zhou Ning nodded and said, "That's it, just go back to the palace and persuade the emperor."
The emperor now has no children under his knees, which is the heart disease of this palace.
Mrs. Hou get up quickly, talk to the palace about yourself, why kneel down at every turn? β
"Xie Niangniang." Mrs. Hou got up.
The two said some more words, all in an official tone.
It's just that Zhou Ning mentioned many times that the emperor has no children under his knees, and Mrs. Hou is naturally not stupid.
It is said that Song Qi met Pingyang Hou Xue Jun in Weiyang Palace.
Song Qi's face was full of relatives.
"The emperor's condolences." Xue Jun Road.
"When I first met Yingying, she was still a little girl of seven or eight years old, flying kites outside the city.
The little girl ran wildly with a kite, but crashed into a tree......" Song Qi said this, and a slight smile slowly appeared on his face.
"I kindly stepped forward to comfort me, but you treated me as a disciple with fists and kicks......"
Xue Jun listened carefully with his eyes down, and when he heard this, he hurriedly knelt down and said, "The minister misunderstood the emperor at that time......
"Aiqing, what are you doing? Get up and talk to me. Song Qi said.
Only then did Xue Jun get up.
"It's all my fault, if I hadn't insisted on bringing her back to the palace, she wouldn't have suffered this catastrophe." Song Qi sighed heavily.
Xue Jun also looked lonely and said: "After all, it is her fate." β
Song Qi sighed again and said, "If I hadn't insisted on bringing her back to the palace, she would have given birth to my eldest son by now." β
Xue Jun didn't dare to say more, for fear of revealing his feet.
Only now does he know that the emperor is terrible.
If it weren't for the queen's mother's rescue, his sister would have died twice.
But he, a murderer, can still sit with him casually and catch up with him.
If Yingying hadn't told him the truth in person, he would have been deceived by the emperor.
Death doesn't even know how he died.
He dealt with it carefully and sat in Weiyang Palace for a long time before retiring.
Xue Liu's family came out of Zhengyang Palace, and after the husband and wife met, they quickly left the palace.
Back at home, Xue Jun did whatever he wanted.
Xue Liu's clan was the same as usual.
At night, the two went to bed and asked each other about the day.
"What did the queen say?"
Xue Liushi relayed Zhou Ning's words to Xue Jun.
Xue Jun pondered for a moment and said, "I know. β
Xue Liushi stroked his face distressedly and said softly, "Be careful in everything." β
Xue Jun nodded emphatically.
His mind is very complicated, and the emperor hints to him intentionally or unintentionally that Yingying's death is related to the queen.
The queen's side intentionally or unintentionally implied that his wife, the emperor, had no children under her knees.
Naturally, he wanted to be on the queen's side.
Soon, there were more voices of persuasion in the court, and the ministers were all persuading the emperor not to snub the palace and give birth to the prince as soon as possible.
At first, this matter was mentioned by the imperial history.
didn't think about it, Yu Shi just made a start, and General Zhao also got involved.
As soon as General Zhao got involved, all the generals stood up.
The other civil officials were dumbfounded, didn't the generals oppose the emperor opening a harem before?
Why has he changed his mind now?
In any case, the civilian and military attaches will come against each other.
The court is harmonious and martial, and the emperor will be suspicious.
The military attachΓ©s are big and coarse, and they are not stupid.
So, Lan Xiang stood up first and said: "The Zhenguo Gong is really lenient, and you also want to meddle in the affairs of the emperor's harem, what are your intentions?" β
Regardless of whether you have bad intentions or not, it's right to buckle your hat indiscriminately.
General Zhao snorted coldly: "Didn't you dislike the middle palace and let the emperor draft before?"
Now that the draft is over, there is still no good news from the harem, shouldn't the emperor be more diligent?
Otherwise, what's the point of the draft? Could it be that it is specially blocked for the queen? β
"Zhenguo Gong, you are so bold that you actually question the emperor?" Lan Xiang said angrily.
"Did I say something wrong? Blue cannibalism, shouldn't you worry about the king?
It was you who had been arguing that there was nothing to come out of the middle palace before, and now it is you who don't let the emperor go to the harem.
When you touch the upper and lower skins, it's all on your side?
It's a literati's mouth, and it's all your reason to turn it over and over. β
"What's wrong with the literati? Why look down on literati? The prime minister also said that you are a martial artist? When Lan Xiang said this, he ignited the anger of the generals.
"What's wrong with Takeo? Lan Xiang, why do you look down on Takeo? β
"When Lao Tzu was fighting, you were still fighting, what qualifications do you have?"
"That's it, what's wrong with Takeo? The emperor was still a general before? β
"You are so bold, you dare to bite the emperor."
There was a quarrel in the court, and it was like a vegetable market.
Song Qi sat on the dragon chair and watched the civil and military quarrels below, from the matter of the harem to the confrontation between the civil and military.
From the confrontation between civil and military, it quarreled with him again.
He was silent.
The two sides quarreled with dry mouths, and finally reached the point where they had to do it.
"Silence!" Father-in-law Shun scolded loudly.
Everyone who was about to do it returned to their original positions.
Song Qi said: "There is nothing to retreat from." β
The noisy news of the court soon spread to the harem, and Zhou Ning was surprised that Xue Jun moved so fast.
It's just that the blue phase reaction is somewhat interesting.
This person has the potential to be a traitor, whether it is right or wrong, just stand on the emperor's side.
However, on this day, Song Qi still did not enter the harem.
The next day, the court was still arguing because of the harem, and Song Qi kept watching coldly, and in the end it was still over.
Song Qi has never set foot in the harem once.
Zhou Ning sneered, Song Qi has never been an easy person to grasp.
So, all his last resort is just an excuse.
This matter was quarreled for five or six days, but the DPRK and China did not discuss other matters, and quarreled over this matter every day.
Song Qi still ignored it.
Zhou Ning changed into court clothes and went to see Song Qi.
Song Qi naturally didn't lose her face and invited her in.
