Chapter 997
Everyone has their own thoughts
Two days later, Lu Jiao and the imperial doctor Qi in the palace performed an operation on the fifth prince of Xiliang, Shangguan Rong. The operation was very successful, and the fifth prince Shangguan Rong's legs would be fine.
Shangguan Rong was so happy that he was very excited. He was just talking and saying that he would become the prince of Xiliang. When he got to power, he would always protect the peace of Xiliang and Dazhou.
But the listener was just listening, and he was the only one who was excited there.
On the afternoon after Lu Jiao and Qi Lei performed the operation on Shangguan Rong, people from the Nomadic Ministry of Beiqi 12 entered Beijing.
Compared with the people of Xiliang Kingdom, the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty hated the people of the Twelve Nomadic Tribes of Beiqi very much. Many people went to watch the fun and were preparing to smash their rotten eggs. However, they were all stopped by the Five-City Military and Ma Si sent by Xiao Wenyu to maintain Zexu. The Twelve Nomadic Tribes came to Beijing to seek peace. Their great powers should have the demeanor of a great power, but those who should be compensated must not be compensated less.
Before the envoys of Xiliang entered the capital, Xiao Wenyu should have set up a palace banquet to entertain the envoys of Xiliang, but Xiao Wenyu has never held a palace banquet. In fact, he received news from the people of the twelve nomadic tribes. They will also arrive in the capital soon, so Xiao Wenyu has been waiting for the people of the twelve nomadic tribes to arrive so that the palace banquet can be held together.
When the twelve nomadic tribes arrived in Beijing, he immediately ordered people to prepare a palace banquet.
The queen in the palace was forbidden in Chaoyang Palace. Nie Pin was just a small concubine. There was no chief in the palace who presided over the palace banquet to summon the foreign wife. Xiao Wenyu asked Zhou Youjin to invite Lu Jiao into the palace...
Lu Jiao thought about it and did not object. She brought Ruan Zhu and the servants into the palace. In addition, Shangguan Yunyan also accompanied her into the palace.
In fact, Lu Jiao doesn’t need to worry about the palace banquet, she just needs to be in charge of the palace.
Everyone in the Great Zhou Dynasty knew that she was His Majesty's adoptive mother, so she was asked to sit in the palace and entertain foreign women, and no one would say anything gossip.
All the affairs of the palace banquet were under the charge of Nie Pin. She had been in charge of the palace affairs for a while and knew everything about the palace affairs, so she did not need Lu Jiao to worry about it.
However, Nie Pin is very low-key. As soon as Lu Jiao entered the palace, she brought someone to pay tribute to Lu Jiao. At the same time, she handed the things arranged at the palace banquet to Lu Jiao, making her look low-key from beginning to end, and she didn't look high-profile just because she was in charge of the palace affairs.
Lu Jiao looked at Nie Pin a few more times. In fact, Nie Pin is very good-looking and comes from Duke Wu's Mansion. She is good in herself. When the Supreme Emperor asked Lu Jiao to help him, Nie Pin was not at the banquet for selecting concubines, so Lu Jiao did not choose her.
Lu Jiao thought and sighed, but she didn't know what the Four Treasures mean now. If he said that he fell in love with Nie Pin, he did not take Nie Pin as a concubine. If he didn't like Nie Pin, he would let her take the palace affairs.
Lu Jiao looked through the arrangements for the palace banquet in her hand and everything was pretty good.
"You've managed it well, thank you for your hard work."
Nie Pin smiled and shook her head: "It's not hard work. Your Majesty believes in me, it's my blessing."
Lu Jiao saw her speak sincerely, and her tone was full of joy.
She couldn't help but take a few more glances, and then she realized that when Nie Pin talked about Sibao, her eyebrows and eyes were very gentle, and she seemed to like Sibao very much.
Looking at Nie Pin, Lu Jiao couldn't help but think of the queen. The queen rarely seemed to have such a gentle and nostalgic look. She didn't want to lower her figure for men. Men are fond of the old and old. Lu Jiao also knew her thoughts and was afraid of being hurt, so she was guarded against men and loved herself more.
In fact, Lu Jiao herself and Wang Mengyao are the same type of people. She only ended up with a good destination after meeting Xie Yunjin.
But Wang Mengyao met the emperor. You are separated from the emperor and will eventually break up.
Lu Jiao didn't know what to say, so she looked at Nie Pin and wondered whether to help her say something to Sibao, otherwise what would Sibao do if the rest of her life? It's hard to have no one around her.
Lu Jiao was thinking, when the eunuch outside the hall came in to report: "Madam Zhou, the prince brought the eldest prince and the second princess to pay tribute to his wife."
As soon as he heard the prince and the eldest princess coming, Lu Jiao immediately waved: "Please come in."
She also stood up and brought Nie Pin to greet her. The prince happened to walk in. Lu Jiao immediately spoke respectfully with Nie Pin: "My wife has seen the prince."
Although Nie Pin is Xiao Wenyu's concubine, he is very polite to the prince.
The prince quickly came over and helped Lu Jiao up. He felt a little unhappy, feeling that his grandmother didn't look like him now, but he didn't say it.
"Grandma, don't be so polite to Gu, get up quickly."
Lu Jiao thanked En again before she got up. She smiled and cared about the prince's studies and how she was eating and living recently.
The prince and the eldest princess were talking questions and answers, and the second princess on one side was also very happy, and reached out to hold Lu Jiao's hand and shook it.
"Grandma, can you go and see the cats raised by Xingxing? They are so cute."
Lu Jiao looked down at the second princess, reached out and picked her up. To be honest, she liked the second princess very much, her eyes were clean and clear. When she looked at people, she had no distractions, which made people like it when they saw it.
"Okay, where is your cat? Grandma accompanied you to see it."
The prince immediately glared at the second princess and said, "Grandmother, can my grandson ask you to talk to my mother and queen? My mother and queen must be very lonely when she stayed alone in Chaoyang Palace. My grandson was very worried about her, but my father issued a confinement order, so my grandson could not go with her. It would be great if my grandmother could talk to her."
Lu Jiao turned around and looked at the prince, feeling very uncomfortable. She didn't want to interfere with the matter between the emperor and the queen, but the prince repeatedly made these requests. What he wanted to do? Lu Jiao knew very well. She wanted to use her and Xie Yunjin's hands to force Xiao Wenyu to solve the queen's feet and let the queen come out?
This prince is really the queen's good son. Of course, Lu Jiao doesn't blame him for being a good son. Ten-year-old children basically love their mothers, but he knows that they are unwilling to interfere with these things, and tends to force them, which is a problem.
When the prince looked at Lu Jiao, he thought of his mother's advice and his eyes immediately turned red: "I just worry about my mother. If my grandmother doesn't want to, forget it."
Lu Jiao grinned, but her smile was a little cold. She said, "I can go to visit the Queen, but this is only once, if there is another next time?"
She didn't say it again, but her voice was indescribable.
The prince looked up in panic. Lu Jiao was no longer willing to look at him again. She turned around and looked at Nie Pin and said, "You are worried about the palace banquet. I'll go to Chaoyang Palace for a trip. We'll talk later."
"Okay, madam."
Lu Jiao turned around and took Shangguan Yunyan and others to Chaoyang Palace. The prince behind her face was blue and white, and her uneasiness increased.
The eldest princess on one side couldn't help but mutter: "Brother, you shouldn't always force your grandmother to do what she doesn't want to do."
The prince turned around and looked at the eldest princess, and spoke displeased: "Do you remember who raised you?"
The eldest princess choked and didn't dare to speak anymore. This was the prince and she couldn't offend him.
The prince turned around and walked out, and the eldest princess had to follow him, while the second princess ran to Nie Pin and reached out to hold Nie Pin's hand.
Nie Pin retreated her eyes and looked down at the second princess with a smile. Thinking of what the prince did, she didn't know what to say. This person was afraid he was trying to die, just like his mother.
However, Nie Pin doesn't care about the Queen's affairs now, she is worried about her own affairs. Your Majesty neither praises her as a concubine nor favors her, nor knows what it means?
Nie Bin suddenly thought of the beautiful woman beside Mrs. Zhou Guo before. If His Majesty had seen such a beautiful woman, he would not have fallen in love with her. What does Mrs. Zhou Guo bringing that woman into the palace with her? She wouldn't have wanted to give her to His Majesty.
Nie Pin couldn't help but worry. What would she do if His Majesty fell in love with that woman and where would she have her place?
Lu Jiao didn't know what Nie Pin was thinking, so she took Shangguan Yunyan and others to Chaoyang Palace.
There are people guarding the Chaoyang Palace outside the gate, and idle people cannot enter the Chaoyang Palace, but the wife of Zhou is different. She is Your Majesty's adoptive mother. Your Majesty had issued an order before. She could accompany the eunuchs guarding the gate to see her entering the Chaoyang Palace without stopping her.
Lu Jiao brought a crowd into Chaoyang Palace. When the queen received the news, she immediately brought people to welcome her.
Now she no longer has the energy she used to be, she looks thin and haggard. Seeing Lu Jiao, she is even more pitiful. Unfortunately, Lu Jiao has no sympathy for her. This is a selfish woman who only cares about herself. As the queen of the Four Treasures, she was afraid of being hurt and did not know how to give her sincerity to men. Now she is even more willing to use her son to make herself come out.
The prince ran to them to do something, but if nothing unexpected happened, these were instructed by the queen.
The reason why Lu Jiao took this trip was to have a good talk with the queen, whether she really planned to die her son.
"Mom, are you here to see me?"
The queen looked at Lu Jiao with tears in her voice.
