It was really a good thing for Lingxiang and Hanako. Their wedding was scheduled for August. However, August was the day of the emperor's wedding. In order to avoid a collision, the wedding date was moved to October.
Gradually, more than a month later, Long Chuxia's belly gradually grew bigger, but she became very thin. Looking at her face, the Empress Dowager always sighed: "Everything you eat is given to the child. This kid,
I guess he is a glutton like his mother."
Long Chuxia didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so she could only laugh and said: "I don't care if he can eat it, as long as he is healthy."
During this time, rumors suddenly spread in the capital, saying that Mrs. Feng's child was not the late emperor's posthumous son, but the son of Tang Junlong, the god who had captured Tang Junlong. This matter was also spread to the palace, but the fire demon and the hedgehog were afraid of affecting Long Chuxia's mood, so they suppressed it.
Let her know that it had spread to Xuantian Pavilion, and naturally it had also spread to the ears of the Empress Dowager. Of course she would not believe it, but such rumors had hurt the reputation of the royal family. In addition, the officials of the previous dynasty had written letters one after another, not allowing Mrs. Feng to visit.
The court listened to the government, and even said that women in the harem were not allowed to participate in politics, and asked her to hand over the power to assist in state affairs.
Long Chuxia didn't go to court for several days, so she didn't know that she had caused a bloody storm in the court. Prince Qingping and the prime minister didn't dare to tell her about this. She was very thin, fearing that she would be angry and violent.
Tire gas
It's just that you can't hide what you should know.
That day when the emperor came to Xuantian Pavilion to pay his respects, he talked about this matter first.
The emperor is twelve years old this year. Although he has matured a bit in the past few months since he ascended the throne, he is still a half-grown child. In addition, King Qingping and others did not privately tell him not to talk about this matter in front of Long Chuxia, so he
I don’t know what to avoid
"What big things happened recently?" Long Chuxia asked someone lazily while sitting on the couch after ordering someone to bring snacks to the emperor.
The emperor squeezed beside her, shook his head and said: "The waterlogging in the Nanjiang River caused the displacement of tens of thousands of people, but now they have been properly resettled. The rest is nothing special."
"Are you used to being alone if I don't go to court?" Long Chuxia asked after eating a grape
"There's nothing you're not accustomed to. It's better if you don't go to court, lest those old people catch you!" The emperor reached for the grapes on her plate, picked a few and threw them into his mouth.
The grapes have just come on the market, they are still a little green, sweet and sour.
Long Chuxia was concerned, stunned for a moment and asked: "Why are you holding me?"
The emperor said: "It's about the baby in your belly. They all say that the baby in your belly is Tang Junlong's!"
Long Chuxia's face suddenly turned as black as the bottom of a pot, she stopped her hands and said angrily: "Who said that?"
"Everyone says that, don't you know?" The emperor didn't know the seriousness of the matter, so he just listened to it as an ordinary rumor, "Those old guys are forcing me to issue an edict every day not to allow you to
I am here to listen to the government and ask you to hand over the power to prevent our country from falling into the hands of outsiders."
Long Chuxia was so angry that she trembled all over. She pushed over the grapes beside the couch. The white porcelain plate with the golden color of Shouhai fell to the ground with a clang and shattered. The broken porcelain pieces were scattered on the yellowish water-polished floor tiles, which was very similar.
Snow-white pear blossoms are scattered in the soil
"Whose mouth did this come from? It's ridiculous!" she asked angrily.
When the emperor saw her furious, he was a little scared and said: "King Qingping has ordered a thorough investigation, but the source of the rumors has not been found yet."
The fire demon and others heard the movement in the house and rushed in. Seeing that she was angry, they asked: "What's wrong? What happened?"
Long Chuxia had a dark face and said, "Go and check right away to find out who spread the rumors to slander the child in my belly."
The fire demon was stunned, "You know?"
Long Chuxia raised her eyebrows and said, "Okay, so you all know about it and are hiding it from me!"
The Fire Demon sneered: "Who would believe those nonsense? Why do you care about these things? Let them talk, it will calm down in a few days."
How can Long Chuxia be willing? She said: "It doesn't matter to me that I am being said by others, but when it comes to the reputation of my children and Feng Lingxiao, I absolutely cannot let these rumors continue to spread. The most terrifying thing about rumors is that what one person says may not be true, and what two people say may not be true. Personally speaking, it may not be true, but when everyone is talking about the topic of chaos and categorically guarantees its authenticity, then the incident will most likely become a true story."
The fire demon pondered for a moment, and what Long Chuxia said was not unreasonable. Now everyone in the capital was talking about chaos. Although everyone didn't believe it at first, after all, one was a policeman and the other was the emperor. Who would believe Long? Would Chu Xia not love the emperor but love the policeman? But some people saw the pot-bellied Long Chuxia and Tang Shenhua walking together ambiguously, and the two were often together. Some people even discovered that Long Chuxia had spent the night in the Tang Mansion before. So after some new people compiled these things, they became like real things and were passed down from the common people.
The officials didn't believe it at first, but then their remarks became increasingly arrogant. In addition, some people had personally seen Long Chuxia and Tang Shenzhen together and had a close attitude. Among these witnesses, there were many court officials and people who were right and wrong who might make up some stories after dinner. It's an innocuous topic, but how can officials lie? After all, Long Chuxia is now in control. Although she has not ascended the throne as emperor or been named empress dowager, the late emperor named her Mrs. Feng, and all military power is between her and Prince Zhongyong. If the facts were not in hand, who would dare to risk offending her?
The Fire Demon has also analyzed the power of it, but he doesn't know where this rumor came from. The person behind it is obviously targeting Long Chuxia. Who wants to target her? Fu An and his ilk are too lazy to use such words. Means, after all, such means will not do much harm to Long Chuxia
He said: "Okay, I will immediately go investigate what is going on!"
Long Chuxia's face softened slightly and said: "Well, we must understand the intention behind this person. Although he seems to be targeting me, he has inadvertently caused the two factions of courtiers in the DPRK and China to form an opposition."
"Could it be a court official who is against you?" the fire demon asked.
"I don't rule out the possibility. What is the true version of the rumor? Tell me." Long Chuxia raised her eyes and said seriously.
The Fire Demon hesitated for a moment and then said frankly, "Someone saw you having a private tryst with Tang Junlong."
"Private tryst?" Long Chuxia sneered, "When did it happen?"
"It's been happening all this time, and many people have seen it," the fire demon said
Just when Long Chuxia was about to refute it, she remembered that Tang Junlong entered the palace for no reason some time ago and asked her some strange questions. At that time, she was clearly running away from him, but he found the palace. It seemed that he knew something. She pondered for a moment and said: " You go and call Tang Junlong into the palace privately first, I have something to ask him."
The Fire Demon was startled for a moment, "You want to see him now? Wouldn't it be even more embarrassing?"
Long Chuxia sneered: "It doesn't matter, whether I see it or not, the rumors will not stop for a while."
The emperor thought for a moment and said, "Mother, let me declare him into the palace, so that outsiders will have nothing to say."
Long Chuxia glanced at him appreciatively and said softly: "Okay, just follow what the emperor said!"
