Chapter 203: Confession on the spot
The sound fell, and the figure of Granny Yuan appeared in front of the temple gate.
Everyone followed the voice, and hundreds of eyes fell on her.
The old lady was wearing a crimson brocade palace robe, and although the embroidery on the dress was simple, she was graceful and luxurious.
Granny Yuan made a calm face and walked slowly to the hall.
"I've seen the eldest princess of Gu'an, the eldest princess Wanfu Jin'an."
Granny Yuan was led to the emperor's side by the palace people, sat down in a position second only to the emperor and queen, sat up straight, and said slowly, "Get up." ”
As soon as she sat down, Granny Yuan couldn't wait to find Fang Xu, her eyes swept over everyone, and finally settled in the middle position.
Fang Xu looked at her with a smile and nodded slightly.
"My aunt came back suddenly, and I didn't have time to prepare anything, so I hope my aunt won't blame me."
The emperor's voice came from the side of her ear, and Granny Yuan frowned impatiently, but no matter how disgusted she was, she couldn't lose the emperor's face in public, so she had to follow him down and said, "It's okay, the old body doesn't like extravagance and waste." ”
"Thank you aunt for your understanding." The corners of the emperor's mouth hooked up a faint smile, and he asked casually, "I don't know if my aunt is back this time...... How long do you want to stay? ”
Granny Yuan looked at him sideways, the smile on the corner of her mouth deepened, and she lowered her voice, "The emperor said this, didn't he want to drive the old man away?" ”
"My aunt misunderstood my nephew." The emperor had a smile on his face, but there was a little more reluctance in that smile, "My nephew just cares about my aunt." ”
Granny Yuan looked at him, and the hypocritical and slippery emperor in front of her and the child in her memory who was young and ignorant and chased after her and called her aunt could no longer coincide.
Granny Yuan was sad in her heart and secretly speechless.
Power and desire can really blind people's eyes and hearts.
Even his aunt, who watched him grow up, can't believe it now.
"The old man returns to Beijing this time, and he doesn't plan to go back to the northwest." Granny Yuan spoke lightly, looking calm.
The emperor paused, his brows furrowed, "If you don't go back, the northwest side ......"
"The mission of the old body has been exhausted, and I have been delayed in the northwest for so many years, and I want to return to my homeland when I am old, why not?" Granny Yuan looked up at him, as if waiting for an answer.
The corners of the emperor's mouth twitched, and he said in a low voice, "What my aunt said is very true, you have dedicated half your life to Dayan, and my nephew is worried that my aunt has no place to live, and Princess Gu'an's mansion has been ......."
"The emperor doesn't have to bother, he lives in Yongcheng Houfu." Granny Yuan spoke slowly, completely unaware of how surprising her words were.
The emperor frowned, and asked in a deep voice, "Yongcheng Houfu?" ”
Empress Zhu coughed lightly twice and said softly, "Your Majesty, my aunt entered the palace two days ago and told her concubine that her old man recognized Mrs. Yongcheng Hou as her righteous daughter. ”
As soon as these words came out, Fang Xu obviously noticed that hundreds of eyes had fallen on his body, and it was like a man's back.
Shen Ji sat diagonally opposite her, pulling the corners of his mouth when he saw this, secretly slandering in his heart.
What should I do if my sweetheart's background is too deep and difficult to chase?
It seems that meritorious promotion is imminent.
"Righteous daughter?" The emperor's face sank, his face was displeased, and he lowered his voice, "Why didn't you know about me earlier?" ”
Queen Zhu also looked at her and said softly, "My aunt is old, and the concubines want to go with the old man's wishes, and the palace banquet is in a hurry, and the concubines have been anxious for the past few days, and they have forgotten to tell the emperor for a while." ”
The emperor's face was as heavy as ink, but he couldn't say anything in public, so he had to stubbornly go down, "Well, since it's my aunt's wish, let the old man do it." ”
When Queen Zhu heard this, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Fang Xu from a distance, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, and her eyes were tacitly acquiescing.
"Let's have a feast."
The emperor waved his hand, the maid held the fine dinner fish and rushed in, the musician played the music, the sheng song was boiling, and the dancing girl was graceful and dancing.
"Emperor," Granny Yuan pinched the wine cup and smiled detachedly, "It's so lively today, why don't you see the Queen Mother?" ”
When the emperor heard this, he put down the jade chopsticks in his hand and said in a deep voice, "The Queen Mother is unwell and has stayed in Yongshou Palace early." ”
Granny Yuan understood, nodded slightly, and then pretended to be novel, and asked, "Emperor, I heard that you have summoned a scholar to the court?" ”
The emperor paused his fingertips, looked at Granny Yuan suspiciously, and said in a low voice, "How did my aunt know about this?" ”
After saying that, he lifted his eyelids lightly, and his gaze fell on Xie Li not far away, his eyes were deep, "Could it be that someone is talking nonsense?" ”
Granny Yuan's heart tightened, but her face did not show half a point, and she smiled to herself, "The people outside are talking about it, and the number of scholars in the capital has suddenly increased, saying that the emperor is benevolent and willing to reuse the scholars." ”
Regardless of her explanation, the suspicion in the emperor's eyes was not less than half a point.
Granny Yuan's eyes turned, and she persuaded bitterly, "Emperor, the old body only wants to persuade you, don't trust the warlocks of unknown origin." ”
"These are all rumors, my aunt doesn't have to believe them." The emperor lowered his expression, he couldn't see his joy or anger, and his voice was dull, "Sui Aiqing's teacher is a master of the Xuanzhen Dao, and it was personally recommended by Cui Shangshu, not from an unknown source. ”
"Master Xuanzhen?" Granny Yuan's eyes lit up for a moment, beckoned behind her, and said in a loud voice, "It just so happens that there is a rough envoy here, and she is the last disciple of Xuan Zhen." ”
Miao Xuan was pulled over by her, and gave the emperor a salute with ten twists, "The slave has seen the emperor and the queen." ”
"Hey, it's such fate, why don't the emperor let their brothers and sisters meet each other to solve their lovesickness?" Granny Yuan looked at the emperor with a smile, but her tone was unrefusable.
The emperor condensed his eyebrows, and noticed that the laughter of the next head was getting smaller and smaller, and everyone's eyes glanced at this side, and their faces sank for a while, and they were a little difficult to ride a tiger.
"Today is my aunt's reception banquet, I'm afraid it's inappropriate to make such a fuss." The emperor thought for a long time before he said in a deep voice.
"What's wrong?" Granny Yuan dismissed his words with a smile, and pretended to be understanding, "This mother-in-law has been with the old body for a long time, and she can be regarded as having some feelings, if she can really help her find her senior brother, the old body will naturally be happy." ”
The hall was completely silent, and Sui Yin sat down, and the two forces were trembling, and he had already lost his reaction.
Cui Shangshu on the side was not much better, his old face was pale, his eyes were terrified, and his body couldn't stop trembling.
The emperor glanced at Granny Yuan with a gloomy gaze and tightened his lips hard.
The mother-in-law didn't eat him, and still looked at him with a smile.
In front of everyone, the emperor often said that he valued filial piety the most, and it was impossible to be angry with his aunt.
The emperor closed his eyes slightly, his forehead was bruised, and he only said lightly, "Aunt is in charge." ”
As soon as these words came out, Sui Yin was completely panicked, the blood on his face was scattered, and he subconsciously looked at Cui Shangshu beside him, and his eyes were bloodshot.
Killing a thousand knives, didn't you say that it's okay to pretend to be a god and a ghost?
How did you provoke the right master!
