The queen wore a rosy veil more than before. A dark green rosy veil hung from her shoulders, embroidered with colorful clouds and dragons.

In addition, the pearl makeup on her face was replaced by normal makeup, and her unibrow was painted beautifully and dignified. On her head, she wore a phoenix crown with birds facing it, surrounded by pearls and emeralds. The phoenix spread its wings, showing the aura of looking down at the world. She wore a double circlet around her neck.

One each of red coral and pearl.

Probably before I finished dressing up just now, I heard something was going on in the palace and came over quickly.

After all, she is the master of the palace, so if anything happens, she will be blamed.

The queen glanced at the third prince, who understood and stood up.

The third prince stood up, and Zhao Yingyue also stood up quickly.

The third prince explained: "Miss Zhao, this matter has been basically clarified. The palace maid has just entered the palace not long ago. She is not familiar with the route and took her the wrong way. She has been handed over to her for punishment."

Really? Only a ghost can believe it! Will a new palace maid lead the way for an event held in the palace this time?

The queen said with a bit of a smile: "Now that the matter has been found out, let's let it go. It's true that the palace maid didn't know the way. To put it bluntly, Miss Zhao was frightened."

It seems that the queen also wants to put the matter to rest. After all, if something happens under her nose, she will be said to be incompetent and unable to assume the post.

Xining immediately saluted: "Is it my daughter? I have become suspicious since being plotted by my personal maid. How could there be such a plot in the palace? I am really shallow. I hope the Queen will understand."

Yep, the schemes in the palace are endless and hard to guard against. The queen actually gave birth to three children, but the only prince died in infancy, leaving two princesses. Everyone knows that princes from official families often die in infancy. On the one hand, it has been

The emperors were all superstitious about Huang Lao's magic, which was caused by taking red pills; another aspect was the calculations everywhere.

Seeing that she was following her wishes, the queen was relieved. She comforted her a little: "I have also heard about this matter. I didn't expect that there would be such a bad maid, and she would not stop even if she died."

After investigation, Fuling's case was found to be manslaughter. A servant said that Fuling seduced him and wanted to find out about the crown prince. He threatened that if she didn't follow her wishes, she would say that the crown prince's action was the reason for her loss of virginity and that he was unruly.

.

Under coercion, the servant did not want such a vicious servant to harm the prince, so he was frightened and frightened, so he strangled Poria to death with his belt and made the illusion of committing suicide.

After pleading guilty, he immediately hit his head on a pillar of the government building and died.

At this time, the Duke of Rongguo's mansion was once again cleansed, and the slave who was killed was said to be a loyal servant, and his family was properly placed by the Duke of Rongguo's mansion.

Xi Ning knelt down with some fear: "The slaves around me behaved despicably, and it is my daughter who is to blame. It was my daughter's negligence and indulgence that caused the official empress to worry, and the house was covered in dust."

"Hurry up." The queen made a gesture of standing up. After Xining stood up, she said with some appreciation: "This is serious. The generals of the country have worked hard and made great achievements. They have been hereditary since Emperor Gaozu. How can a little bastard be able to do this?

Has your servant been deceived? It is said that a person knows his face but not his heart. If you deliberately conceal it, let alone your unmarried lady who has not yet had her hair, even the mistress of the family may be deceived. Fortunately, the truth about this matter has been revealed, and you are not too much.

It’s just that you don’t mind.”

"What the Queen said is true, and I will bear it in my heart." Xining lowered his head slightly, pretending to be moved.

The third prince standing aside looked at Miss Zhao. From the beginning to the end, he never mentioned the Duke of Rongguo and Zhao Chengzong. If the truth is so, Zhao Chengzong is also wronged, but he just didn't mention it. It proves that this young lady has a clear heart.

.

At this time, someone came in from outside and said that a banquet was about to begin. Everyone was already seated, waiting for the queen and officials.

Seeing that she understood the general situation, the queen did not raise any questions, and she felt a little happy. She stood up and said, "Then you can follow me and sit down at the table."

The three of them immediately saluted and agreed, and followed the queen to the banquet one after another.

The third prince followed the queen and talked to her from time to time. He looked like a loving mother and a filial son, and he was happy.

Xining followed Zhao Yingyue, and Zhao Yingyue didn't say a word from beginning to end. Seeing how calm Zhao Yingyue was, Xining couldn't help but nod.

No wonder Zhao Yingyue is so young and has an official position. When General Zhao brought his second son back to Beijing, he was relieved to have him guard the border.

When I walked to the entrance of the palace, before I walked in, the father-in-law inside saw the queen coming and immediately shouted at the top of his lungs: "The queen is here!"

When the queen entered the palace, everyone stood up and knelt down to greet the queen.

The third prince deliberately slowed down his pace. After entering the back of the palace, he walked aside and knelt down with everyone.

Zhao Yingyue followed suit. After kneeling down, she turned her head and saw that her little sister was also kneeling next to her. She was relieved. It seemed that her little sister had grown up and had a certain amount of progress and retreat. She was still afraid that she would be as stupid as before.

Standing there, no matter how young she is, no matter how generous the Queen is, she will still be a little annoyed.

"Without any courtesy, please stand down." The queen spread her hands and asked everyone to stand up, looking graceful and majestic.

"Thank you, Queen!" Everyone stood up and heard another shout: "The Emperor has arrived!"

Okay, now everyone followed the Queen and knelt down again.

Xining knelt down and secretly smiled bitterly. In this boring feudal society, people always knelt down and knelt down. Fortunately, the identity of the owner was pretty good. If he had been a maid or a slave in the past, he would have had calluses on his knees.

The official walked in, and now he could finally see the emperor of this dynasty a little closer.

Approximately in his early forties, slightly thin. Wearing a single-color silver-white robe, tied with a jade belt around the waist. If it weren't for the jade belt and the hanging jade pendant, which are of the highest quality, he would be even neater than when he was a junior official at home.

After sitting down, the emperor said a few words to cheer up. When everyone was toasting, Xi Ning covered the wine glass with his hand and took a closer look.

He was in his forties, in his prime according to modern men's standards. However, the emperor showed signs of decline, and his sideburns and beard were already silvery white. The red cheeks were not full of energy, but excessive blood energy caused by long-term use of elixirs.

If you continue to eat like this, coupled with the heavy government affairs and unrestrained life, within a few years, this body will be hollowed out and the fuel will be exhausted.

Even if the emperors of the past dynasties were not superstitious about elixirs, most of them died in their forties. If they took elixirs again, they would definitely be courting death.

The emperor still refuses to title his sons. Except for the prince who has the title of prince, the other princes still call themselves princes. At other times, even if they are not married, as long as they are three or five years old, they will be named kings.

The reason why they are not given a title is that once they become king, they can have their own private soldiers. Even if the amount is stipulated, who knows if they will develop more privately.

As for the matter of sealing titles, it can be seen that the emperor was not at ease with his sons, very uneasy.

Calculating the time, if the previous development trajectory is followed, then five years later, when the Zhenguo General's Mansion is destroyed, the emperor's body should be almost unable to hold on.

Think about it, General Zhao and his sons are not stupid. They have military power and secret guards. If they really protect themselves wisely, do not guard Yanguan, and do not care about political affairs, it should not lead to the destruction of the family.
