The emperor pursed his lips and glanced at the prince silently. The latter shook his head lightly and bowed slightly.

This is the tacit understanding between the emperor and the old slave for many years, looking at the expression of the prince and the father-in-law, the emperor knows that he doesn't know how this thing came about, and no one has touched it.

"Your Majesty?" After not receiving a response for a while, Xiao Jingtang looked up suspiciously.

"Huh?" the emperor came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Aiqing wants pen and ink, then let people bring it up, this snowy weather, it's cold outside, it's better to warm up here and write." ”

With a slight bow, Xiao Jingtang watched the little eunuch next to him run out, then turned his wheelchair and waited behind the desk on the side.

After reading the letter in his hand, the emperor bowed his head and muttered for a long time, and suddenly asked: "Aiqing, people are similar, but the handwriting is also similar?"

"Naturally, there is. Xiao Jingtang said: "Weichen is the best at imitating other people's handwriting. ”

"Oh?" was intrigued, and the emperor took the letter and went to stand beside him. The eunuch took the four treasures of the study, and Xiao Jingtang took a copy of Prince Gong's fold and began to write according to it. With every stroke, I learned Prince Gong's writing habits.

The emperor looked at it seriously and found that Xiao Jingtang's handwriting was really good, and he could imitate Prince Gong's handwriting seventy percent. But...... It was just a likeness, and although the words on the letter were blurred, he could recognize it, and it was Prince Gong's handwriting.

The words were concerned and deliberately alienated, and he didn't write a title, but he said "There are many wild flowers and they are cheap, and the palace flowers are lonely and rare", which was obviously written to the people in the palace, but I don't know how it fell here. If he didn't think of taking the fold today, would this thing be rolled up in the old fold and burned together?

Thinking of some old things, the emperor's face was not very good-looking, and he said in a low voice: "Aiqing's handwriting is very good, but no matter how similar it is, it is not as good as the image he wrote by himself." ”

After that, he turned around and walked out: "Aiqing will rest here, wait for the snow to stop before leaving the palace, and I will finish today's affairs." ”

"Wechen obeyed. Xiao shook his head, respectfully sent the emperor away, then stroked his forehead with a headache, and muttered to the father-in-law next to him: "I'll sleep for a while, it's cold outside, father-in-law should go back, and when I wake up, I'll call someone." ”

"The minions understand. ”

The little eunuch in the room also walked away, and Xiao Jingtang went to lie down on the soft couch in the inner room and waited quietly. After a while, a rabbit-like person jumped in through the window with a "rubbing" of the ground, and stomped his feet in front of him with the cold air outside: "It's so cold!"

Squinted at her, Xiao Jingtang got up from the wheelchair as if nothing had happened, walked over and pulled his fox fur cloak, wrapped her whole body in, only showed a small head, and stared at him: "What are you doing?"

Glancing at her contemptuously, he asked, "Is it warm?"

"Warm!"

"Then what do you care about me, just be warm. ”

Gentleness: "......" seems to make sense, huh?

rubbed it in someone's arms, until the snow on his head melted and the whole person was warm, then he unloaded and killed the donkey, pushed the second young master Xiao away, and asked seriously: "How is it?"

"Smooth. Xiao Jingtang said in a low voice: "Don't use too much force, the emperor will think about it himself." ”

Empress Sun and Prince Gong grew up as childhood sweethearts, when she was a child, the first queen joked, and once said that she would marry Sun to Prince Gong, which has always been a thorn in the emperor's heart, and later Prince Gong ignored the queen, and was extremely indifferent, and the thorn in the emperor's heart was eliminated.

I never thought that such a letter would come out now, which proves that Prince Gong and the queen are not ruthless, on the contrary, it is precisely because of affection that they have pretended to be indifferent to the queen for so many years.

What about the Queen? What is the attitude of the Queen?

The emperor did not return to the imperial study, and went directly to the queen's palace.

Empress Sun was angry, and when she heard that the emperor had arrived, she immediately greeted her and saluted aggrievedly: "See Your Majesty." ”

Instead of lifting her up as usual, the emperor walked straight inside and said, "Something happened, I'm a little angry. ”

Slightly stunned, the queen hurriedly followed in and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I just issued an edict earlier, saying that the DPRK and China will be purged, the officials with clean sleeves will be commended, and those who are corrupt and bribe-takers will be severely punished. I had praised Prince Gong for his honesty for many years, but who would have thought that someone would denounce it now, saying that Prince Gong was taking bribes behind his back, isn't this a slap in the face?"

The queen was stunned, and said without thinking about it: "Prince Gong must have been wronged, where does he have the courage to be corrupt?"

"Oh?" Glancing at her meaningfully, the emperor smiled and said, "I don't know, but you know?"

With a chill in her heart, the queen hurriedly bowed her head and said, "After all, the concubine met Prince Gong when she was young, and she still knows his character......"

Which pot is not opened, if it is placed in normal times, according to the emperor's favor for her, she will definitely turn a blind eye and pass with a smile.

But now it is different, the emperor came to test it, and the result given by the queen made him very disappointed, and his mood was even worse in an instant.

"Alright, I'll take care of it myself. With a wave of his sleeves, the emperor waved his way and left.

Empress Sun was stunned, looked at the emperor's back for a long time, and asked the palace maid beside her: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with this recently?"

The palace maid sighed: "Probably because the affairs of the court and China are busy, and the mood is not good, so don't take it to heart." ”

"Nope. Sun frowned: "This palace thinks that someone must be behind it, otherwise His Majesty would not be so cold to this palace." ”

The palace maid was stunned: "Niangniang is saying?"

With a sneer, Sun glanced outside: "There is no one else." ”

In the past two days, Concubine Shu's behavior has been different, and she must have been forced to be in a hurry and wanted to attack her.

Compared with her, the concubine is definitely not as good as her to capture the emperor's heart. Pursing her lips and pinching her hands, the queen turned her head and went back to the inner hall.

For the next few days, the emperor never went to the queen's palace again, either in the imperial study or in the concubine's bedroom.

Concubine Shu is gentle and lovely, never interferes in the emperor's political affairs, and the hidden illness gradually disappears, the emperor began to reflect on whether he had snubbed her for too long, after all, Concubine Shu was the first person to accompany him, and he spoiled the queen for so many years.

Under remorse, the emperor's attitude towards the three princes was much kinder, and he even mentioned to a few old ministers that since the eldest prince is listening to the government, he is also a prince, and the three princes should be treated equally.

When she heard the news, the queen could not sit still, and fell ill in bed that night.

However, Wen Rou ran much faster than the maid of Fengwu Palace, and cried when she ran in front of the princess: "Father-in-law, the news of the annoyance is that my mother has a high fever and has been calling His Majesty's name." ”

The prince was stunned for a moment, and immediately went in to spread the word. The emperor just finished dealing with the matter at hand, and without saying a word, he set up the Yushu Palace.
