Chapter 243 Unable to understand the style
The emperor originally wanted to step forward to help him in person, but when he remembered what happened in Wangqiu Pavilion last night, his face darkened: "No courtesy."
Concubine Wu stood up straight and looked directly at the emperor with a righteous look: "The emperor must have heard the rumors coming out of the East Palace. Just now I went to the East Palace to find out the whole story, and I found out that someone was spreading rumors.
The person in Wangqiu Pavilion is not a man at all, but a chamberlain who entered Wangqiu Pavilion by mistake. I have ordered this chamberlain to be executed for not knowing how to advance or retreat. The prince also knows that this is a misunderstanding."
The emperor remained silent after hearing this.
He knew best what kind of person Wu Guifei was. He usually allowed Concubine Wu to do whatever she did, but this time she didn't know the importance and reached into the East Palace, which made him unhappy.
"I hope you can reflect on yourself during your last confinement. The East Palace is no different from other places. It is the prince's palace. How unbecoming is it for you, a concubine in the harem, to interfere in the affairs of the East Palace's backyard?!" The emperor opened his lips coldly.
Concubine Wu did not expect that the emperor would criticize her harshly for this matter. She argued dissatisfiedly: "Sister Xi has been wronged, can't I, the concubine, seek justice for Sister Xi? Sister Xi is being favored, and I don't know how many people there are.
People are jealous..."
"I told you, that is a matter in the East Palace's backyard, and you are a concubine in the harem. It is your fault to interfere in the affairs of the East Palace!" The emperor's impatience was written on his face.
Concubine Wu still wanted to defend herself, but the emperor also lost patience: "Step back, I don't want to see you."
Concubine Wu immediately became angry and said sarcastically: "The emperor has no concubine in his heart for a long time, so he is not willing to look at me again. After all, I made the wrong payment."
After she finished speaking, she walked away with an arrogant look.
The emperor's anger and blood surged, and it took him a while to calm down. Over the years, his biggest mistake was to pamper Concubine Wu to such an extent that she did not take him as an emperor in her eyes.
What happened in Wangqiu Pavilion was suppressed by Concubine Wu's iron-blooded wrist, but it also became a worry for the emperor.
The most important thing in an imperial family should not be confused with the royal bloodline. No matter what happens to the men in Wangqiu Palace, it is inappropriate to spread such things.
However, two days later, the prince had no grudge in his heart and still doted on Wu Xiyu.
When the emperor heard the news, he was extremely disappointed with the prince's performance.
At the end of the day, he called Xiao Ce to the Yangxin Hall. After talking about politics, he asked about what happened in Wangqiu Pavilion.
"The imperial concubine has investigated the matter. The person who broke into Wangqiu Pavilion was a chamberlain, and he was beaten to death. Wu Liangyuan was frightened. She has been much better in the past two days. Father, there is no need to worry." Xiao Ce brought out the speech he had prepared early in the morning.
.
"Have you ever doubted the Wu family?" The emperor couldn't believe that the wise prince would pamper a woman to such an extent.
"Wu Liangyuan is kind-hearted and simple. She is sincere to my son. How could he doubt her?" After a pause, Xiao Ce continued: "And this matter has been investigated by the imperial concubine. Isn't it true that the father always trusts the imperial concubine the most?
?”
The emperor was silent.
After all, he, as a father, failed to set an example.
In the end, the emperor couldn't defeat Xiao Ce and signaled Xiao Ce to retreat.
Xiao Ce returned to the East Palace and put the matter behind him.
His father did not allow him to favor Qin Zhao alone, so he turned to favor Wu Xiyu. Isn't this exactly what his father wanted?
He then went to the backyard of the East Palace for a walk, and his last trip was to Wangyue Residence.
Qin Zhao was in the kitchen instructing Baoyu to make rice dumplings, and Xiao Ce came over smelling the aroma.
As soon as he reached the door of the kitchen, he saw Qin Zhao standing in front of the big pot and smelling it. He looked so greedy that he couldn't help laughing: "Look at how greedy you are, is it so delicious?"
Qin Zhao turned around and saw Xiao Ce coming, and immediately stepped forward to hold his arm and answered the question: "Just now, I heard from Baoyu that Your Highness was called to the Yangxin Palace by the Emperor. Was he being lectured again?"
Xiao Ce gently scratched the tip of her nose: "How come you know everything?"
"That's because of His Highness's affairs, I care about it. If it's someone else, I don't want to know about it." Qin Zhao pointed to the rolling dumplings in the pot: "These are fermented dumplings, fragrant, soft, glutinous and delicious.
…”
As she said this, she saw Xiao Ce looking at her strangely.
"What's that look in your Highness's eyes?" Qin Zhao touched his face.
Xiao Ce looked away and looked at the white jade dumplings tumbling in the pot: "It is indeed fragrant, soft, waxy and delicious..."
Qin Zhao thought it sounded weird to her when he repeated this sentence, but she couldn't seem to find fault with him.
But when she was eating the rice dumplings with fermented rice balls, Xiao Ce looked at her while eating the dumplings, which made her scalp numb.
After eating and drinking enough, Qin Zhao felt sleepy: "I'm sleepy and want to sleep for a while. Your Highness, please help yourself."
Anyway, he is a busy man, so he just took time to come to Wangyue Residence for a walk.
Unexpectedly, he followed her to the bedroom. She lay down on the bed, and he also lay down on her.
Qin Zhao stared at him: "What do you want, Your Highness?"
"Sleep with you for a while, close your eyes." Xiao Ce pushed her to the back of the bed and asked her to face inward.
It was daytime, otherwise he might have...
What appeared in front of his eyes was the soft, glutinous and delicious dumplings he had just eaten.
How did Qin Zhao know that Xiao Ce was full of charming thoughts?
She was used to taking naps and fell asleep as soon as she closed her eyes.
Xiao Ce heard her subtle breathing, and for some reason he remembered that she once said that he didn't understand coquettishness. He felt that this woman was even more confused about coquettishness, and probably didn't regard him as a man.
Just go to sleep, pig!
Baoyu stayed outside for a long time, and then saw His Royal Highness the Prince coming out, his face a little gloomy.
She was about to send His Highness the Crown Prince off, but His Highness slowed down and asked: "I haven't been here for a month, and she lives like this every day?"
Just now he visually inspected her breasts and found that she had some flesh on her breasts, but he didn't know——
"Liangdi said that you should take good care of yourself, eat well, and sleep well, so that you can be worthy of the life your Highness saved." Baoyu replied truthfully.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who had a gloomy look on his face, brightened slightly when he heard her words: "Remind her to be careful, or she will become a little fat person."
"But Liangdi looks just as good as she has gained weight."
Xiao Ce glanced at Baoyu and felt that her words seemed logical.
Qin Zhao is a beautiful girl. She used to be too thin, but now it's not too much to eat better. She doesn't mind, so naturally he won't mind either.
"That's all, let her go. If anything happens, remember to report it to Gu as soon as possible." After Xiao Ce finished speaking, he walked away with graceful steps.
Baoyu entered the bedroom and saw Qin Liangdi sleeping peacefully in the room, and thought that their master was really big-hearted. His Highness only came here once a month, so Liangdi didn't know how to seize the opportunity to visit her.
Your Highness the Prince even went up to the bed, but Liang Di only wanted to sleep by herself, so why didn't you keep His Highness?
This is probably like what Liangdi said herself, being a Buddhist.
