Chapter 389: Banquet
The biological mother of Gui Haikui, the current lord of Mingyou Kingdom, was originally just an ordinary maid in the palace, but she was once favored by the first emperor and accepted as a concubine, but she was just a low-level talent. Gui Haikui was born, although the first emperor was happy, but because of the identity of the prince's biological mother and the relationship between husband and wife, Gui Haikui was raised by Shuangyuan. The prince's biological mother was seriously ill and died, and the emperor posthumously named her Concubine Mei.
Originally, all this came to this point, and there was already a happy ending. The good times didn't last long, Guihai Yunchen was assassinated and poisoned, Shuangyuan had to put Gui Haikui on the throne, and the five-year-old child became a monarch, so someone moved his mind.
First of all, there were some rumors that when Concubine Mei gave birth, Wen Po was sent by the Queen Mother, but she didn't expect something to go wrong. At first, the Queen Mother didn't take these ridiculous words to heart, but soon, she found that Gui Haikui had changed, and this child was not as close to herself as before. Then one thing completely chilled Shuangyuan's heart.
I don't know who instigated and told the guards around the Empress Dowager Gui Haikui to harm him. Gui Haikui is a child after all, and he panicked when he heard it. Someone came up with an idea to ask Gui Haikui to transfer the guards from the Queen Mother's side to the Imperial Palace, and Gui Haikui immediately made an order, and even Yi Wei did not stay.
After this incident, those unbearable rumors became more and more. There are even noses and eyes that say that the Queen Mother personally did things in Concubine Mei's hemostatic medicine, which led to Concubine Mei's tragic death. is not a mother and son who are not related by blood, coupled with the provocation of those who have a heart, the situation is even more serious.
Since the Queen Mother is not her biological mother, Gui Haikui moved the idea of chasing her biological mother. He mentioned it in front of the Queen Mother several times, but Shuangyuan didn't agree. It's not that she doesn't understand people, but she was not allowed to have two queen mothers. What shakes the country's foundation, she can't do it!
Fang Du and the others lived in the Qiushui Palace, and Gui Haikui decided that they were the Queen Mother's people, so they deliberately embarrassed the palace today. Yi Wei was also quite angry when he talked about it.
"I wanted to stop the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother still agreed!" Yi Wei said, "The lord of the country succeeds once, and then there will be a second and third time." When the Queen Mother's rights are set aside, we should leave here!"
"Zihua Palace, is it really dilapidated?" Fang Duan suddenly asked, Yi Wei lowered his head, "Yes, it hasn't been repaired for a long time. Fang Du asked again, "If it is cleaned, how long will it take?"
"What is General Fang going to do?" Yi Wei didn't understand what Fang Duan meant, Fang Duan said, "Guard Yi, if fifty maids clean up together, can you clean the Zihua Hall within two hours?"
"It should be possible!" Yi Wei's eyes flashed with light, he knew that Fang Du must have the idea of helping the Queen Mother, "Fifty is not enough, I will give General Fang Zhao a hundred maids!" Fang Du smiled, "Then there will be a guard for Lao Yi!"
The dilapidated degree of the Zihua Hall was beyond Fang Duan's imagination. When he stood outside the Zihua Hall with everyone and a full hundred maids, he felt that he had made a wrong decision.
Yi Wei said, "General Fang, let's go, let's go, let's start!" Fang Duan waved his hand, and the maids behind him walked into the Zihua Hall in an orderly manner, first using a broom to remove the cobwebs hanging on the beam and the dust all over the ground, and then scrubbing them over and over again with water and rags. After some tossing, it finally looks a little bit.
"Let's see, if you want to hold a banquet here, what is missing?" Fang Duan looked at the renovated palace, and his heart was much more steady. Zhan Xingran said, "Since you want to set up a banquet, you naturally have to have tables, chairs and benches!" Yi Wei immediately asked people to move tables and chairs. Sima Lu said, "Good wine and delicious food are indispensable!" Yi Wei immediately asked people to go to the imperial dining room and ordered. Mo Xuanji watched it for a long time, and was tasteless, "There is a lack of human touch here, and singing and dancing are indispensable!"
In the Ci'an Palace, Shuangyuan heard that Fang Duan had already led someone to clean up the Zihua Palace, and was preparing for a banquet, so he smiled and said to Bai Pei, who was waiting on the side, "What do you think, this General Fang is really different." Bai Pei was a little uneasy, "We just helped him get rid of some thieves along the way, and he returned such a big gift." Is this General Fang not wanting to accept our affection, or does he have other plans?"
"You underestimate Fang Dusk!" Shuangyuan said, "This person is unusual, what others say and do will not affect his judgment of things in the slightest. He only helped the one who was supposed to help, and even if someone deliberately told him that I was a brutal person, he wouldn't believe it easily. Such a person, although it is not easy to control, will not step on it when the mourning family is down!"
When the news reached Gui Haikui's ears, he was startled, grabbed the maid beside him, and said in a panic, "Sister Caichun, what should I do now? The courtiers have already gone to the Zihua Palace, is this the Queen Mother's idea?"
This Cai Chun was originally Concubine Mei's personal maid, and after Concubine Mei left, she didn't know how many ways she walked before she arrived at Gui Haikui's side to serve. On weekdays, when Cai Chun saw Bai Pei's arrogant appearance, he was already angry in his heart, and coupled with the bribery of people with hearts, he often said some bad things about the Queen Mother in Gui Haikui's ear. The estrangement and deterioration of the relationship between mother and son are mostly related to her.
"Naturally, it was instructed by the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, this is slapping you in the face!" Cai Chun knelt on the ground and saluted solemnly, "Lord of the country, you are the chosen son, the only son of the first emperor." In the future, you will be in charge of the entire Mingyou Kingdom, and no one dares to refute your words. The queen mother should have handed over the power to the harem woman a long time ago, but she refused, in fact, she wanted to take power in person, reversing yin and yang, and going against the grain!"
Gui Haikui already had a deep grudge against the Queen Mother in his heart, and Cai Chun's words made him even more angry, "Go, call my guards, the more the better, let's go to Zihua Palace!"
At this time, the Zihua Hall has a new look, and the singing and dancing are leveling. The Queen Mother has arrived, sitting on the main seat, Fang Duan and others toast to celebrate, and the guests and hosts are happy.
"Queen Mother, the lord of the country has arrived!" Yi Wei leaned into Shuangyuan's ear and whispered, "It's just that the lord of the country has also brought guards, and it has already surrounded the Zihua Palace!" Shuangyuan glanced at Fang Du and did not speak. Yi Wei had no choice but to stand behind her, and if it was really chaotic for a while, it would be easy to save her.
"The lord of the kingdom has arrived!"
And all the people of the temple stood up and saluted. Gui Haikui looked angry, and walked straight to Fang Dui, pointed with his little hand, and said angrily, "I have already said that you can go to Jingchun Hall to set up a banquet, why do you want to disobey my will and make your own decisions and place the banquet in this Zihua Palace?"
Fang Du was not anxious or annoyed, and asked rhetorically, "Hey, when did Your Majesty make the decree, why don't the ministers know?
