The queen was already very unhappy when she saw Concubine De's appearance, but she smiled and said: "The emperor has something to do today, so it's better for my sister to go later."
"It doesn't matter." Concubine De said disapprovingly: "I can just wait in the side hall. The Queen may not know yet, but the emperor allows me to wait in the side hall without sending an edict while he is busy with official duties."
There was a certain amount of pride in her eyes, and the queen felt a lot of hatred in her heart, but she couldn't get angry. She just smiled and said: "My sister is considerate, and being so favored by the emperor makes me feel a little bit envious. It's just that she treats others with sex." Those who look sad will be gracious."
Concubine De covered her lips and said with a smile: "What the Queen said is true, but if a woman has no beauty at all, her kindness will be gone before she looks sad."
The queen smiled and ignored her, and just let the eunuchs carry the sedan to leave. When she turned around, her eyes were full of coldness. Yan'er said beside her: "Concubine De is too arrogant to be favored. Now In her eyes, she doesn’t even have the Queen.”
The queen's eyes darkened, and she became even more annoyed with the eldest prince. If the eldest prince was trying to live up to his ambition, why would she suffer the ridicule of Concubine De?
The Mingde Palace arrived soon. When the queen walked to the door, Eunuch Zhu said softly: "The emperor is quite angry about what happened today. The prince and the eldest prince are both inside at this time."
Upon hearing this, the queen's eyes deepened, she nodded slightly and said, "Thank you, Eunuch Zhu."
The eunuch sang outside the door: "The Queen is here!"
After the queen came in, she saw Chu Yuanzhou and Chu Yuan standing at the bottom, and the emperor was sitting on the dragon chair with a dark face. After she entered, she hurriedly saluted, and then sternly scolded: "Yuan'er, why are you running away so casually? Out of the palace!"
Before Chu Yuan answered, Chu Yuanzhou said from the side: "Queen, please don't blame the eldest prince. In the final analysis, it is all my fault."
As soon as the queen heard Chu Yuanzhou admit his mistake, she said, "What mistake did the prince make?"
"My mistake was that I should not have bought the land to the west of the city and then planted it with purple bamboo. There was nothing wrong with planting the purple bamboo field. I should not have left the capital for many years and not told the dignitaries in the capital that the purple bamboo forest was the private property of the Prince of Chu's palace. Tell the capital There was nothing wrong with the powerful Purple Bamboo Forest being the private property of the Prince of Chu. The mistake was that he should not have ordered Mao Ran to cut down the forest. It was not a big mistake to cut down the Purple Bamboo Forest. The mistake was that the personal soldiers whom I brought back to the Jingjiu Battlefield were not there. I have never been to the capital, so I don't recognize the eldest prince. When I saw the eldest prince coming with several actors, I thought he was a dandy from the capital, so I mistakenly beat the eldest prince and asked the emperor and the empress to blame him!" Chu Yuanzhou What he said was serious.
The queen's face did not look good, and she blamed Chu Yuanzhou for telling the truth. But when this matter came to the emperor, the emperor would let people find out the details, and he could not hide it.
The queen finally asked: "Actor?"
After she asked this question, her face was deformed with anger, and she looked at the eldest prince with helpless expressions in her eyes.
Chu Yuanzhou replied: "Returning to the Empress, the minister's subordinates said this. They said that the eldest prince took a few actors to appreciate the bamboo. The conflict arose. In the final analysis, it was because I was not good. When I returned to the capital, I should have Show them the portraits of the princes, and you will not be rude to them."
The emperor, who was sitting on the dragon chair, had a deeper look in his eyes, but the queen was already furious. She hit the eldest prince in the face with her palm and scolded: "How dare you keep an actor in the palace! This palace is always like this How did I teach you?”
