Empress Lu stood outside the palace and saw Long Zhu coming this way from a distance. Indeed, she was not as excited as she was when she was celebrating the emperor's birthday last time. She didn't even bother to pretend, but a handkerchief was
Still held tightly in his hand.
The emperor suddenly went to court, relieved his brother of military power, and directly made Murong Gang a general. He was Lao Jiu's brother-in-law. Thinking that the emperor was blatantly helping Lao Jiu, he couldn't help but feel hatred in his heart. How could it be
Don’t you think the emperor still hasn’t forgotten that woman?
I didn't expect that after a few days, I would hear the emperor's order for Lao Jiu to divorce his wife. My angry heart slowly calmed down. It turned out that the emperor was not interested in Lao Jiu. In this way, the Mu family would definitely treat Lao Jiu.
I hate it.
But he no longer believed that the emperor did this for his son. Ever since that woman entered the palace, the emperor had never had him or his son in his eyes, and he would not pick it up and put it in his face.
No one else dared to raise their heads. Except for the queen, everyone was kneeling on the ground. Standing beside him was Prince Rui Feng Guran, standing proudly in front of the concubine.
Empress Lu had already stepped forward to greet her, with a respectful look on her face. However, she still suppressed the flash of disappointment on her face and respectfully greeted her, "I have met the emperor."
This is the majesty of the royal family. Even a husband and wife must perform the courtesy of a monarch and a minister. The emperor has been out to attend to court affairs for some time, but he has never set foot in his place.
Empress Lu had long since lost any hope of not repaying these things, but when she saw those cold eyes, she still couldn't help but feel disappointed.
"My son has met my father."
The emperor jumped over everyone and walked directly in. Feng Guran stood up from the ground with an indifferent expression and followed slowly, ignoring the emperor's indifference.
Back in the palace, the emperor sat at the head of the table and said, "The second brother is here too. I was talking to the court today about how to deal with the refugees from the north. Have you thought about how to deal with it?"
The queen smiled and waved to her son who was standing below, "Why don't you come up front? Your father is asking questions."
Feng Guran came forward with a smile. He didn't say anything, but he bowed politely, and then said, "I have discussed it with the minister, and I will personally escort the supplies there in three days."
The emperor nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, it's just that you still have some water control in the south that you haven't dealt with. You have to take care of the affairs in the north. I'm tired. I'll leave the matter of going to the north to Lao Jiu. I'm just holding down some food."
and winter clothing.”
Is the emperor planning to let Lao Jiu intervene in court affairs? Empress Lu couldn't help but raise her head and look over, and happened to meet the emperor's deep and invisible eyes. She lowered her head in panic, and couldn't help laughing.
The emperor has long been dissatisfied with himself and his son, and now with a probing and penetrating look in his eyes, why should he be panicking?
In the past, she always felt that the emperor did not leave the palace for the whole year and did not care about everything. How could he know these things? But now she realized that the emperor was watching everything. She and her son were like actors, there.
I just make up and act it myself.
"My son, I respect your order." Feng Guqiu respectfully took the order.
There was an invisible smile at the corner of his slightly lowered lips. Going to the north was just a trivial matter, but half of the soldiers of the entire Western Jin Dynasty were in the north. My father was asking Lao Jiu to win over the soldiers.
After all my busy work, Lao Jiu actually took advantage of this. His life was really good.
After his father came to court, he immediately made a big move, which caught people off guard. Fortunately, he had already made such preparations, and now that he no longer had the military power of his uncle's family, it would not have much impact on him.
As for whether the father's decision to let Lao Jiu divorce his wife was a ploy, there is no impermeable wall in the world, and his true colors will be revealed sooner or later.
"Give me a seat." Seeing him respectfully thanking him, the emperor spoke calmly.
Empress Lu forced a smile on her face and ordered the maid next to her to serve tea. She knew that she could not come to see her, but she knew that her son was here and just took away her son's good things. Apart from the emperor, she was the only one in the palace.
The queen did not sit down, but his son was given a seat. The emperor just slapped him in the face and rewarded him with a red date.
But treating Ran'er like this in front of him wouldn't be a slap in her face.
She felt secretly resentful in her heart, and a flash of hatred flashed in Empress Lu's eyes, blaming Feng Guqiu for everything the emperor had done to herself and her son.
Empress Lu smiled and had a plan in mind, "Your Majesty, Lao Jiu doesn't have a wife now. Why don't you, the emperor, happen to be here now to see if you can arrange a marriage for Lao Jiu? I do know the daughters of several ministers.
The characters are all good, and the emperor knows the character of the ministers in the court best, and his daughter will definitely be right."
The emperor didn't know what he was thinking, so he just said "oh". Seeing that the emperor didn't care at all, Empress Lu frowned slightly and said calmly, "Liu Shangshu has a daughter, and I have also seen it, so why not?"
One day, Xuan will come to the palace and show it to the emperor. His character is not to mention, and his appearance, talent and learning are also famous among us in the Western Jin Dynasty. He has just grown up now, no matter how old he is."
"Then it will be given to the second child. The second child is the elder brother and has not married yet. The affairs of the ninth child cannot be rushed ahead of him."
Everyone who knew in his heart felt something was wrong. The emperor didn't know who he was talking about, and he immediately spoke. In fact, anyone in the capital of the Western Jin Dynasty knew that there was someone in Liu Shangshu's house.
He was a daughter of a wealthy family, with no appearance or talent to speak of, but a fierce temperament, so even though Liu Shangshu had a high official position, no one came to propose marriage.
The queen said in front of the emperor that she was of good character, and they, the servants, naturally did not dare to refute it. Now the emperor actually pointed out the person chosen by the queen to Prince Rui. This was the queen who shot herself in the foot.
Invisibly, the emperor warned the queen severely. The queen was once again disgraced, but she was in a panic. Just looking at the emperor's look, she thought that the emperor didn't care, but he didn't expect that he had laid a trap for himself and was waiting for him to jump.
Feng Guran was dissatisfied that her mother had caused such a thing in front of her eyes again. This time, she caused trouble directly into her own house. Moreover, Liu Shangshu was the most powerful villain and he was always greedy for money.
Just a rich man.
However, he still stepped forward and knelt on the ground in a polite manner, "My son, I thank my father."
He was really afraid that the Queen Mother would speak out, and he shouldn't have mentioned this to Ben. Previously, for their own purposes, he married Lao Jiu to Mu Lingxue, a man with a bad reputation. They said it was a marriage, but he told him that the marriage was about to happen.
The woman was sent to Lao Jiu's house again. The emperor didn't say much. After interfering with the government affairs, the first thing he did was to order Lao Jiu to divorce his wife. You can see what this means.
Over the years, the emperor has become increasingly unclear about the son's thoughts in front of him. His eyes moved before he said, "Get up."
Empress Lu bit her lip and hated herself for being so anxious that she allowed her son to marry such a woman and lose face in front of everyone. Her face turned green and red. People familiar with her knew that the empress was angry.
With so many people present, the Emperor directly offended King Rui and Queen Rui. Everyone could see that the atmosphere was not right in an instant. They could tell with a clear eye that the Emperor seemed to be deliberately trying to embarrass Queen Rui and Queen Rui.
Your Majesty, today I have disgraced the Queen and Prince Rui in front of the palace people, presumably to suppress the arrogance of the Queen's family.
The queens in the palace secretly did not dare to breathe. They dared not pay attention to the queen who looked bad. The emperor was very satisfied when he sat on it. "Get up, I think the day after tomorrow is a good day. Why don't we get married the day after tomorrow? What do you think of the queen?"
?”
"It's indeed a good day, but I'm just afraid I'll be too busy." Queen Lu stood there in a dignified manner, staring at her nose and chest, but she felt secretly resentful in her heart. The emperor is really cruel.
What on earth did he do wrong? What the queen did now is that he didn't show mercy at all.
Could it be that it was all because of that woman? But why did the emperor not do anything back then, but why did he do it now? I am not that stupid, let alone that stupid. The person the emperor wants to help is no longer the dead woman, but
Laojiu?
The emperor was sitting on it, looking at Ms. Lu who had her head lowered in respect, and waved her hand, "Everyone, step aside. I want to have a few words with the queen alone."
Feng Guran turned his head slightly and glanced at his mother before respectfully leading the palace guests to retreat.
The people in the palace then retreated and rested in the room outside the palace. They watched King Rui go to the side hall and breathed a sigh of relief. However, they did not dare to make any mistakes and stood outside the door in a polite manner.
"Then how long does the queen think is enough? When I was not in good health, the queen ordered the east and west to get married. At that time, I thought it was time to prepare the things for the second child's wedding? The wedding of the second child has been done.
There's nothing we can do. Should the things still be there?" Only two people were left in the palace before the emperor spoke.
Lu's heart sank, as expected, she came, secretly resenting how she couldn't keep her heart at ease just now, but when she thought of being that woman's child and seeing him feel better, how could she feel comfortable in her heart.
The wedding had a purpose, so I only prepared Lao Jiu's things. I didn't prepare anything for my son. The most important thing is that Lao Jiu's wedding was just a show, and there was nothing.
what to prepare.
The emperor sat on it and looked at Lu, who looked anxious, and smiled coldly, "The wedding will take place in two days, does the queen think there is enough time?"
Originally, this matter was over and I didn't want to pursue it anymore, but look at this heartless woman who dared to say such a thing at this time.
A few years ago, I ignored him because I was determined to give up, and secretly helped Lao Jiu develop his own power. However, after seeing Lao Jiu committing crimes, I couldn't rest assured, especially what the mother and son did.
Those things, even sending people to assassinate him, and not even caring about flesh and blood, what else does he, the emperor, have to care about?
