Ying Zheng set off and turned back to the palace so as not to delay tonight's palace banquet.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone obliquely on the nine-fold palace, and the sunset was as red as blood, with a kind of almost grand magnificence.

He saw the carriages hanging with the flags of the clansmen of each family driving into the palace city one after another, and he also heard a short sneer from Liu Che in the space.

Ying Zheng thought of Liu Yeboar's previous keenness, and couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, rarely put down his figure, and said politely: "Brother Liu, did I ignore any details?" ”

"Not really, it doesn't matter to you."

But he heard Liu Che say: "And for you, it's a good thing." ”

Not only Yingzheng, but the rest of the people also looked at each other.

Ying Zheng then asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Hmm...... The ugly words are ahead, this is just my personal opinion, not sure! ”

Liu Che kicked the responsibility out first, and then touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "I think the queen may be going to die." ”

"Maybe I'm thinking too much, you go into the palace and inquire."

He said: "If the emperor reprimands the queen mercilessly, then she will live, if the emperor silently turns the page, then she will definitely die!" ”

Whether it's Yingzheng or not, the rest of the people changed their faces together: "The queen is Emperor Zhou's wife......

Liu Che scratched his ears nonchalantly: "What's wrong with his wife?" For Emperor Zhou, what is the difference between the queen and the concubine? For the sake of the stability of the country, he was able to kill the concubine at the beginning, why can't he kill the queen today? ”

He said, "The queen is not stupid, but her children are stupid enough." And it is impossible for her to leave those two burdens, so sooner or later, the queen will be on the opposite side of the successor because of those two wastes. ”

"Today's emperor can easily dispose of the queen, but the new emperor may not be able to easily dispose of this mother-in-law in the future, once there is a change, the country will inevitably be turbulent, in this case, why not take advantage of his spare strength to solve this dangerous factor?"

Li Shimin hesitated and said, "It is also possible to abolish the queen......

Liu Che shook his head and said: "After the abolition, it is troublesome, maybe you will have to fight a lawsuit with the courtiers, and Emperor Zhou is about to wrestle with the old nobles, so it is too unwise to bring the matter after the abolition to the court at this time." ”

"Besides, the queen has been in charge of the harem for many years, and I don't know how many people have been placed in the palace, and if she is alive, those people will be used by her, isn't it just a waste of energy? It's better to be dead, it's a hundred. ”

Li Shimin: "......"

Ying Zheng: "......"

The other two: "......"

The air was eerily quiet for a few moments.

And then......

Li Shimin: "I'll just say that this guy has the hardest heart." (Pointing to your face)"

Li Yuanda: "I heard that the two wives before and after broke up unhappily. (Pointing to your face)"

Zhu Yuanzhang: "A man who loves his wife, no matter how bad he is, can't get any worse." Contrarily...... (Pointing to your face)"

Liu Che: "......"

Liu Che broke the defense: "Are you all right?" Kill the cook as soon as you're full, right?! (Black Question Mark Face)"

He complained aggrievedly: "First Emperor, don't be silent there, you also come to judge the reasoning, just watch them bully me, the person who just helped you?!" ”

Ying Zheng: "......"

Ying Zheng: "...... Then I'd better turn around and stop looking. (Copy) (Honest)"

Chapter 205

The Empress and Princess Changhua waited for a long time in front of the emperor's palace, but they were not summoned for a long time, and they knew that the emperor had made up his mind and there was no reason to turn around.

The afterglow of the setting sun fell on her face, and at this moment, the queen seemed to have aged by more than ten years.

Although Princess Changhua did not understand what her father's closed door meant to her mother and daughter at this time, she could also feel a deep sadness from her mother, which was almost flowing out.

At that time, the queen was standing against the light, and she could not see the expression on her mother's face at this time, but somehow she felt extremely uneasy in her heart, and when she looked intently, she was blinded by a ray of silver light on the queen's sideburns.

At first she thought it was the glow of the setting sun, but when she looked closer, she was shocked to find that it was a wisp of gray hair.

It was as if a heavy hammer had slammed into the heart, and the impact of that strand of white hair on Princess Changhua was far greater than the two previous slaps.

She looked at her mother and suddenly felt a wave of chagrin and remorse that she had never felt before.

If it weren't for the fact that I had no head or brain, things wouldn't have turned out like this......

And the queen is the queen after all, After a short period of stunned, she quickly regained her rational thinking.

Concubine Quan has spent more than ten years proving that the emperor has a cold and hard heart, and there is absolutely no reason to repent of what he has decided.

The queen stepped into the sedan chair and ordered left and right in a deep voice: "Go to the palace of the concubine." ”

……

At this time, the whole concubine was jubilant.

Although they all know that the six princes have been valued by His Majesty recently, the master of his own family is also the famous top 1 of the cold palace, and the psychological state of the palace servants and the chamberlains in the palace is like a pendulum, one left and one right.

The better thing to think about is that the six princes will ascend the throne in the coming day, and they will be able to turn over with it.

The worse thing is that if the six princes fail, then the situation here will only be worse.

Today, Princess Changhua came to the door, and everyone was worried, who would have thought that the master would go out for a spin and be directly promoted to a concubine!

This is only a rank below the queen, and she is the same as the prime minister!

All of a sudden, many of the palace attendants were overjoyed.

In addition to the title, the emperor is not stingy with rewards, and how can the concubine be a strict prisoner and damage the prestige of her mother and son?

He immediately ordered the people in the palace to be generously rewarded, and the few who were injured in order to stop Princess Changhua received the most, and they were sent to ask for a doctor to treat their injuries.

When everyone kowtowed and said goodbye, and only Shuanghong was present in the hall, Quan Guifei held her hand and said softly: "If you want to talk about today's events, you are the first merit." ”

"Shuanghong," Quan Guifei said, "You have been by my side since you were a child, and you grew up with Ming'er, in my heart, you are not a little palace maid, but half a daughter, so I gave the rest of them gold and silver, but you were left alone." ”

Why didn't Shuanghong treat Quan Guifei as half a mother?

She immediately said: "Slaves and maids serve Niangniang, not for those foreign things......"

Concubine Quan interrupted her with a smile: "I know, you listen to me." ”

The eyes of the six princes are most like her, and when they look at a person intently, they always seem to have affection in their veins.

Quan Guifei said in a low voice: "I have prepared two paths for you, you can choose one at your own discretion." The first one is that I accepted you as a righteous daughter, returned to Your Majesty, and gave you the title of county lord. ”

"You are so faithful that you deserve to be paid, and besides, if this matter is publicized, it will also be beneficial and harmless to the reputation of our mother and son, and Your Majesty will not refuse."

Shuanghong didn't want the whole concubine to treat herself so well, she was really stunned, but if she really became the righteous daughter of the concubine, then she should be called the sixth highness, and she should be a righteous brother......

Shuanghong hesitated and was silent, the rare one was not so sharp, his fingers pinched the corners of his clothes, and asked in a low voice: "Niangniang, what about the second one?" ”

Concubine Quan knew her mind when she didn't say yes to the first one, and sighed secretly: "Silly boy, isn't it good to be the county lord?" With my support for you, give you a thick dowry, marry out in style, and be a lady in the main house......"

When Shuanghong heard this, she knew that Concubine Quan really understood her own thoughts, and then heard her think so properly for herself, and her heart suddenly swelled with warmth.

"It's because I'm not promising, and I'm disappointed, but ...... But if I don't even dare to ask, I'm afraid I'll regret it for the rest of my life. ”

When I was a child, I just arrived at Concubine Quan, and was scolded for being a wild girl with no father and no mother, she was holding her neck and refusing to shed tears, and she wanted to take revenge while others were not paying attention.

But at this moment, she cried more than anyone else: "I just like Your Highness!" We grew up together, and we have pulled the hook and said that we will never be separated for the rest of our lives! ”

"Niangniang, I'm not so greedy, I don't dare to think that I can be His Highness's concubine, I just hope that there is a small place in his heart, a little bit is enough......"

Shuanghong cried so much that her eyes and snot came out, and Quan Guifei not only did not comfort her, but laughed.

Shuanghong was extremely aggrieved: "Why are you still laughing at people!" ”

"It's not a joke, I just think it's ......"

Concubine Quan thought about what words to use to describe this matter, and then laughed again: "Young people's love and hate are really direct and passionate. ”

Shuanghong looked at her a little ignorantly.

And Quan Guifei shook her head slightly, and didn't say anything more, just asked her: "Then which path do you choose?" Ming'er's concubine, your majesty will probably make some arrangements, but if you really insist on doing so, I will definitely be able to ask for a position as a side concubine for you. ”

This was originally what Shuanghong was looking forward to, but when it came to the end, she hesitated.

"I, I'd better go and ask His Highness what he means."

Shuanghong said: "If he doesn't like it, I will stop this thought, be your righteous daughter, and accompany you forever." ”

"Your Majesty values His Royal Highness, and must find a famous lady to be his concubine, if you have me, you have been with me for many years, and you have your preference, I am afraid that Your Highness and the princess will lose harmony, at that time, how can the princess's foreign family willingly help His Royal Highness?"

Concubine Quan was stunned when she heard this, her expression was moved, she patted her red shoulder, and was about to say something, but she heard someone outside hurriedly come to say: "Concubine Niangniang, the queen mother and Princess Changhua are here." ”

Quan Guifei and Shuanghong glanced at each other, they didn't care about the previous things, hurriedly straightened their appearance, and went out to greet each other.

This time, the queen put her posture very low, and when she first saw Quan Guifei, she bent her knees and knelt down: "I really don't have the face to see my sister with such a wicked obstacle......"

Princess Changhua naturally followed, and in accordance with her mother's instructions, she kowtowed to Concubine Quan and asked for guilt: "Today's incident is that Changhua is reckless and offended Quan Niangniang, no matter what punishment you have, I am willing to accept it!" ”

Seeing the queen so condescending, the whole concubine's eyelids trembled, and almost at the same time that the other party knelt down, she also bent her knees together: "Niangniang is like this, but she tortures me!" ”

He also said: "The princess is young, it is inevitable that she will be naughty, and I will have no big problem left and right, so how can I talk about the word punishment?" ”

After a few words of back and forth, the two concubines realized that the other party was a smart person.

Or rather, at this time, both of them thought they were porcelain, and they didn't dare to go head-to-head with the crockpot.

The queen needs to show the emperor the virtue of the lord of the palace and the determination to change when he knows his mistakes, and the concubine needs to show the emperor her mind and bearing.

Tearing your face and scolding, pointing at the other party's pain points and humiliating them, it would be cool at the time, but most of the time afterwards you will have to be cremated.

After repeated tugging, the two finally went to the inner hall to have tea together.

The queen held Quan Guifei's hand, smiled and smiled, her eyes quietly swept over the reddish face beside Quan Guifei, and then withdrew her gaze without a trace.

Guests and hosts have fun.

After leaving the dormitory where Quan Guifei was, she quietly called her henchman over: "The girl next to the concubine, the one named Shuanghong, seems to have followed her for many years?" ”

The henchman obviously knows more about these things than the queen: "As the mother said." ”

After talking about Shuanghong's origin, he added: "Today's escape from the concubine is all due to this girl's cleverness, I heard that she escaped from the small door with the concubine." ”

The queen was thoughtful, paused slightly, and finally ordered: "You go and investigate, see what happened over there after the concubine returned to the palace today, I look at the girl's expression, I'm afraid something is wrong." ”
