After the Queen's ban was lifted, the harem returned to its usual liveliness!
Since the emperor issued an order to revoke the queen's ban, Fengqi Palace has become lively again. There are regular greetings every morning, and there are numerous flower-viewing parties, bird-watching parties, tea-tasting parties, and singing and dancing parties every afternoon. Dahan
The orioles are singing and the swallows are dancing in the Imperial Palace, what a lively and prosperous scene!
If it were in the past, a queen with a stable position would only need to 'care' about the emperor Helian Qitian, and 'care' about who he will pass on as the crown prince, because among the princes, except for her son Helian Yu and the eldest prince Helian Xuan
In addition, there is a prince who is already sixteen years old.
But it's different now. She not only has to 'care' about the emperor Helian Qitian, but also the eldest prince and his concubine, and even the missing mute slave!
As for the reasons, firstly, the eldest prince, who was originally ill and might have said goodbye to the world that day, suddenly became more energetic; secondly, Qin Ruoshuang came, and the second prince lost some of his most powerful supporters as soon as Qin Ruoshuang appeared; thirdly,
The current emperor no longer trusts her, and he might find some reason to remove her from the throne that day! Therefore, now she not only has to guard and defend her, but also takes the initiative!
In the main hall of Fengqi Palace, the queen was sitting on a high seat. After taking a sip of ginseng tea, she gracefully put down the cup. She looked around at the concubines below and said slowly: "My sisters, you haven't seen the emperor for a while, right?"
What do you mean? Is it to show off that she often sees the emperor? However, it’s okay not to see him like that!
The concubines secretly cursed in their hearts, but their faces showed sadness——
"Yes... the emperor has not been to the harem for a long time!"
"Sister, do you think the Emperor is tired of us?"
"Sister, do you have a way for everyone to see the emperor?"
Hearing this question, the queen chuckled and said: "Yes...it will be my birthday in a few days. However, due to the serious floods in Jiangnan this year, we will not entertain officials this year and only hold a family banquet!"
"
The implication is that everyone can see the emperor then!
When all the concubines heard this, their faces showed joy. No matter who the protagonist was, if they could see the emperor and show their faces in front of him, it would be better than this!
The queen was disdainful. They were just stepping on the stones, and they should step on them when needed, because she had to use this banquet to carry out her next plan...
imperial study room
Helian Qitian was frowning at the series of disasters that occurred after the floods in the south of the Yangtze River. Eunuch Liu came in with a pot of West Lake Biluochun: "Your Majesty, here comes the tea!"
Helian Qitian tapped the dragon case lightly: "Leave it alone!"
"Your Majesty..." Eunuch Liu called softly after putting down the teapot.
"Um...what's the matter?" Helian Qitian raised his eyes and looked at Eunuch Liu who was hesitant to speak, then lowered his head and said, "Tell me! Is General Liu here again?" His two daughters, one
The other one was disfigured and cannot get out of bed. Therefore, General Liu thought about it afterwards and wanted to come to him to ask for an explanation. However, he still has not seen him!
Of course Eunuch Liu knew what was going on, but he did not come here for this matter: "Your Majesty, what I want to say is not this matter, but what happened to the Queen of Fengqi Palace!"
With a snap, Helian Qitian dropped the wolf hair and said with an angry look on his face: "What happened to her? If she wants to cause trouble again, I will definitely not spare her!"
"No, Your Majesty!" Eunuch Liu was sweating profusely. Now whenever he mentions the Queen, the Emperor's expression is like this, "There is nothing going on with the Queen this time. She just asked me to bring you a message - please
We will go to the family dinner in five days because it is her birthday!"
"I won't go!" Helian Qitian refused.
"Your Majesty, the Queen said it was a family banquet, and all the royal members in Beijing were entertained!"
"Including the eldest prince?"
"Yes! Including the eldest prince and the eldest prince's concubine!"
"Okay! I'm going!" If his Xuan'er goes, he must go, otherwise he doesn't know what tricks she will play!
Just as Helian Qitian finished speaking, he heard a burst of noise coming from outside the imperial study room——
"General Liu! You can't go in! The emperor is at work and has ordered no one to disturb him!"
"I have important matters to discuss with the Emperor!"
"I'm sorry! General Liu!"
"Step aside!"
It seems that General Liu is unwilling to see the Emperor today!
Thinking of this, Eunuch Liu glanced at Helian Qitian and waited for his instructions——
Helian Qitian waved his hand: "Go and let him in!" It's time to give him an explanation!
After getting the order, Eunuch Liu opened the door and walked out. General Liu was also very capable. He almost rushed to the door of the royal study under layers of guards. After frowning, Eunuch Liu said: "The emperor has an order——"
Please give me an audience with General Liu!"
All the Imperial Guards stopped their hands in unison and said loudly and forcefully: "Yes!"
General Liu snorted heavily, shook his armor as he passed Eunuch Liu, stepped into the royal study, rushed to the dragon case, knelt down with a plop and said -
"Please make the decision for me, Your Majesty!"
Helian Qitian said slowly while looking at the memorial: "General Liu, what do you want me to do for you? Do you need to forcefully break into the imperial study?"
The gentle words made General Liu break into a cold sweat and he calmed down a little. However, when he thought about what his two daughters had become like, he became angry again: "Your Majesty, I forced my way into the imperial study. It's really
It happened for a reason! One of your two daughters is ruined for the rest of your life, the other is still unable to get out of bed, and the murderer is at large. Please make the decision for me, your Majesty!"
Helian Qitian pretended not to know, and still stared at the memorial with his eyes: "Oh... Then the murderer couldn't be the eldest prince's concubine, right?"
"It's her!" General Liu said these three words with gritted teeth.
"General Liu, are you still worried about what happened that day?" At this time, Helian Qitian finally looked at him seriously.
"Your Majesty, it was exactly what happened that day! I am unjust! My two daughters are even more unjust! Qin Ruoshuang besieged the General's Mansion in broad daylight. Not only did she destroy my property, hurt my slaves, and finally let my little daughter get hurt,
You can’t get out of bed now! Please make the decision for me, Your Majesty!”
He Lianqi looked at him with a calm expression and asked, "I wonder how General Liu wants me to make the decision for you?"
General Liu Huo raised his head, clenched his hands into fists at his side, glared with blood-red eyes and said bitterly: "I don't ask for much, I just ask for your permission to go and arrest the murderer! Your Majesty... please give me your permission."
