That night, in the Fengyi Hall inside the palace wall, Queen Yang Hongyu was lying lazily on the imperial concubine's couch, with a palace maid kneeling at her feet to massage her soles.
A young father-in-law was reporting something to her.
"What did you say? He bought a kitchen knife? Dishes? Are you kidding me?" the queen asked with a sneer.
"Reporting to the Queen, I don't dare to tell jokes to the Queen. In the afternoon, King Ji and his people have been walking on the street and bought some ordinary and ordinary things." The father-in-law quickly explained.
The Queen sat up after hearing this: "Go and make arrangements for Mr. Yang Ge to come to this palace tomorrow."
"Yes, I'll go right away." The father-in-law responded and left.
When he arrived outside the palace, the father-in-law breathed a sigh of relief, and his forehead was covered with sweat.
Since the former prince was deposed, the queen's life has not been easy.
From that time on, the Emperor never stayed overnight in the Queen's palace again. Even when he came, it was only once every ten days and a half. Each time, he sat down and had a cup of tea before leaving.
The empress's temper also became unstable. After the emperor came, the empress was still the dignified, gentle and considerate queen. However, most of the time when the emperor was away, she would lose her temper at every turn. The little maids working in Fengyi Palace and the father-in-law would suffer.
.
"Go and order them to keep watching." The queen in the palace ordered the people around her.
"This old man's fate is really tough. I don't believe he can always be so lucky." The queen said fiercely.
When the maids and father-in-law in the palace heard this, they just pretended not to hear it, and no one dared to talk to him at all.
"He actually hooked up with Mrs. Gu from Liucheng. Let's make arrangements and find some good guys to come over and kill that woman for me. Oh no, it doesn't matter if you can't kill her. Do something to that woman.
Anything is fine.
I’ll just take a look and see that Prince Ji is very lucky and the King of Hell doesn’t dare to accept it, so I’ll give him a cuckold as a great gift to him.” After the Queen finished speaking, she burst into laughter.
The louder her laughter became, the more flustered the maids and father-in-law around her became, and they did not dare to express their anger.
The queen smiled and then began to cry.
She, the queen, now has the title of queen, all thanks to King Ji. The eldest son's position as prince was deposed, and his life was saved, but he was imprisoned and had no freedom at all. He was no different from a prisoner.
Therefore, she hated King Ji very much.
If she makes life difficult for her, she will naturally not make life difficult for him.
I was originally thinking about why King Ji suddenly asked His Majesty to make Xuzhou a fiefdom, but it turned out that he had been in cahoots with the Lord of the Six Cities for a long time.
Regardless of whether King Ji really wanted to live a peaceful life there, or he was colluding with Mrs. Nagu to do something, anyway, just don't let him succeed.
…
In the government office of Dama City, Wei Zijun looked at the letter in his hand, which had just been delivered.
There are two letters, one is written by Xiaoan and the other is written by He Zexu.
"Mother, look at what eldest brother said. Is the journey going smoothly where you want to go?" Ruyi leaned beside Wei Zijun and asked anxiously.
When his daughter asked, Wei Zijun put down He Zexu's letter and opened Xiao An's letter.
"Your eldest brother said that he has caught up with your father." After Wei Zijun finished reading, he simply handed the letter to his daughter and let her read it by herself.
"Mom, let's celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival again after dad and eldest brother come back." After reading the letter, Ruyi felt relieved and discussed it with her mother.
Wei Zijun smiled: "You kid, your father will celebrate many festivals with us in the future. The Mid-Autumn Festival is over, it's over. If you want to eat moon cakes, my mother will make them for you tomorrow."
"Mom, my daughter either wants to eat moon cakes, or she thinks it's a pity that our family couldn't spend the first reunion festival together." Ruyi really felt very sorry.
She knows what her mother said makes sense. The Mid-Autumn Festival will happen next year and the year after that. However, this year’s Mid-Autumn Festival will never happen again! She and her father have already missed thirteen Mid-Autumn Festivals!
"Mom, why don't you read dad's letter?" Ruyi suddenly found that her mother was distracted while holding dad's letter, not knowing what she was thinking.
Wei Zijun, who was brought back to consciousness by his daughter's voice, opened the letter in his hand and folded it as soon as he read the first two lines.
Ruyi, who followed her with her head, was puzzled: "Mom? What's wrong? What did dad write in the letter?"
"Ruyi, how can I tell you the letter that dad wrote to mom?" Xiao Le came in from outside, teasing his silly sister.
Hearing what the second brother said, Ruyi reacted a little, but she couldn't believe it: "No way, daddy wants to say the intimate words to mommy, just wait until he comes back and say it secretly to mommy.
How could he write it in a letter and not be afraid of others looking at it and making fun of him in the future?"
Xiao Le did not respond to the silly sister, but looked at her mother who was already blushing.
"Why are you back so early today? Your eldest brother is not here, so you can't be lazy." Wei Zijun glared at his second son and said.
"Mom, son, don't worry about me doing things. I have made all arrangements to come back early. Moreover, my father told me before he left. Before they come back, I will take good care of you and my sister."
Lecai was not afraid of her mother's eyes, so she looked at her very harshly.
Wei Zijun ignored this son. If he quarreled with this son, he would never have the upper hand.
This guy has a loud mouth, and he can tell a bunch of nonsense to anyone who doesn't make sense.
In fact, Wei Zijun didn't understand that the three children were all born in her belly, or they were born at the same time. How could their personalities be so different?
"By the way, mother, my son is here to tell you that among the three people who sneaked into the city today, there is one named Wei. My son remembers that you once said, mother, that if you encounter anyone with this surname alive, you must keep an eye on him.
Be tight, I must tell you as soon as possible." Xiao Le thought of something serious to say.
As soon as he finished speaking, his mother's face suddenly looked a little nervous.
"Have you ever found out his full name? He is tall, short, fat and thin. Where is he now?" Wei Zijun felt his heart tightening.
She was also afraid that her children would notice that she was abnormal, so she worked hard to make herself look less abnormal.
"I've just entered the city and haven't found out yet, but it should be found out soon. When my son comes, he will report it to you first and then go and watch it personally. Don't worry, mother, my son will definitely check his identity.
It's clear and obvious." Xiao Le assured.
"No, you can't go. Don't go out recently. Arrange for someone else to go. Also, go and invite your master and tell him that I have something to ask him." Wei Zijun said immediately.
As soon as the words came out of my mouth, I realized that my reaction was too exaggerated.
However, now she couldn't think of anything to say and covered it up.
