Concubine Xian thought about it and it made sense. She choked in one breath and couldn't swallow it.
Aunt Xi arrived at the Zhongshen Palace and sent Yuan Qingling's Nanzhu up, saying: "Princess Chu said that the Queen had never received the Nanzhu that Ryukyu paid tribute to, and as her daughter-in-law, she did not dare to take it all for herself, so she was filial to her.
string."
When the queen heard this, she was almost furious, and said coldly: "I don't dare to take it, so go back."
Aunt Xi smiled and said: "My queen, why do you have to live up to the filial piety of the princess? It is a gift from the emperor after all. If the queen does not accept it, I am afraid it will go to the noble concubine or the virtuous concubine. This southern pearl is precious and even the queen has never had it.
, but there are noble concubines and virtuous concubines. Wouldn’t it be killing your face? It’s better to accept it. As for how to deal with it, it is your business.”
The aunt in charge of Zhongshen Palace also said: "What I said makes sense, my dear, please accept it and send it to the emperor. As for whether Princess Chu is showing off her power or intending to be flattering, it all depends on what the emperor thinks."
In short, no matter what happens, the emperor will be angry.
The queen was angry just now, but she did not expect this. Now she had to be reminded by the aunt in charge, and she said coldly: "You are right, accept it, and then send it to the emperor. Even if the queen mother has not obtained this Nanzhu, I dare not
receive."
She knew that the string of southern beads in the emperor's hand had not yet been sent to the Queen Mother, so her remarks were reasonable.
Aunt Xi smiled and said: "I have to go back to the palace to serve the Supreme Emperor, so I have to resign."
"Send mama off!" said the aunt in charge.
Aunt Xi slowly walked out of Zhongshen Palace. Her steps seemed stagnant after leaving. She sighed deeply and said softly: "I have paid back everything I owe you. I will never owe you anything again in this life."
Chu Mingcui walked towards her and looked at Aunt Xi with a smile.
Aunt Xi bowed and said, "Princess."
"Hello, mama!" Chu Mingcui looked at her, "Thank you for your hard work."
Happy, grandma said nothing, and walked away happily.
Chu Mingcui looked at Grandma Xi's back and curved her lips to smile. She had to do this. Since the emperor gave Yuan Qingling two strings of southern pearls and ate alone with her, there would be endless troubles. She must disintegrate this
Only by trusting and then suspecting the King of Chu's ulterior motives could the King of Chu withdraw.
She sighed softly, Brother Hao, I am thinking about you. This is a life-threatening business. You cannot get involved in it. Just be your King of Chu. I will ensure that you are safe and sound, and you can still be a happy prince.
Seeing Aunt Bao, the boss, come out with the Nanzhu, Chu Mingcui stepped forward and asked, "Auntie, are you going to the Emperor's side?"
Aunt Bao was startled, "Does the princess know?"
Chu Mingcui smiled and said, "Auntie, please listen to my words carefully and tell the emperor according to my words. This is my grandfather's order."
Aunt Bao looked at her, put away her look of surprise, and nodded.
The queen's string of southern pearls was delivered to the emperor.
It was sent by Aunt Bao, who was in charge. Aunt Bao said softly: "The Empress said that the Queen Mother Nanzhu didn't have it yet, and she really didn't dare to accept the gift from Princess Chu, and the Queen couldn't do what Princess Chu requested.
"
Emperor Ming Yuan looked at the string of southern beads with interest, "What does Princess Chu ask for that the Queen cannot do?"
Aunt Bao said: "Princess Chu knew that the Queen was particularly fond of Nanzhu, so she donated the Nanzhu to the Queen. She asked the Queen to speak kindly to the King of Chu in front of the Emperor, and let the King go to the Ministry of War to practice."
"The Ministry of War?" Emperor Ming Yuan sneered, "Come on, I know, you can go ahead."
Aunt Bao is happy to retire.
As soon as she left, Emperor Ming Yuan's expression turned gloomy. He grabbed the Nanzhu and threw it into the corner, saying coldly: "What the hell? Lao Wu will never change his ways!"
When Eunuch Mu Ru saw that Emperor Ming Yuan was angry, he quickly picked up the Nanzhu and persuaded him: "Your Majesty, please calm down. I'm afraid this may not be what the King of Chu meant."
"In the Prince of Chu's palace, Yuan Qingling does not have the right to make the decision. She can only obey." Emperor Ming Yuan became angrier as he thought about it. Even his good impression of Yuan Qingling was wiped out. "Yuan Qingling may not be a simple person. She
Didn't you ever think about the status of the Crown Princess? When you and Jinghou did the shameless trick to force Lao Wu to marry her, was it because of Lao Wu and not for the status of the Crown Princess? "
Eunuch Mu Ru was startled. The emperor knew that the King of Chu was set up at that time. Then why did he anger the King of Chu? He even issued an edict to let the King of Chu marry a lady from the Yuan family.
Eunuch Mu Ru felt that although he had been serving the emperor for a long time, he still did not know what the emperor was thinking.
"Your Majesty, since you know that King Chu was set up, why are you still treating King Chu so coldly?" Eunuch Mu Ru asked.
Emperor Ming Yuan's anger was still lingering, "Just waiting quietly, Yuan Qing Ling took him in, who was rolling around on the battlefield. It's so useless, what else do I need to expect from him?"
When Eunuch Mu Ru saw that he was so angry, he did not dare to persuade him again.
He also knew a little bit about his master's temper, but to say it now would only add fuel to the fire.
Eunuch Mu Ru actually found this matter a bit strange, but because the Queen ordered someone to tell it, it was credible, and the Emperor also believed in the Queen. Aunt Bao was the Queen's confidant and was familiar with the rules in the palace.
, if it wasn’t true, I’m afraid I wouldn’t say it nonsense.
Emperor Ming Yuan had a gloomy look on his face and had no intention of settling the matter. He was worried about the position of crown prince, which offended him.
He can be interested in Lao Wu, but he is never allowed to miss him.
"Since Princess Chu doesn't like the Nanzhu that I rewarded, she should take it back, along with the IOU." Emperor Ming Yuan said calmly.
Eunuch Mu Ru received the order, "Yes!"
Yuan Qingling calmed down by the lake for a while, then returned to the stone steps outside the side hall and sat for a while. Eunuch Mu Ru arrived.
"Princess!" Eunuch Mu Ru stepped forward and saluted. He looked at the princess in front of him. She should have received the supreme honor, but she was too thoughtful and couldn't bear it. It's a pity.
"Eunuch!" Yuan Qingling returned the greeting.
Eunuch Mu Ru calmed down and said, "The emperor ordered us to come here to take back the Nanzhu and the IOU given to the princess."
Yuan Qingling was not surprised at all and said: "There is only one Nanzhu left now."
"Oh?" Eunuch Mu Ru pretended not to know, "Why is there only one left?"
"The other one is missing." Yuan Qing Ling said.
Eunuch Mu Ru smiled faintly. How could he fool the emperor with such petty tricks? He was really ignorant.
For the sake of King Chu, he reminded: "Did the princess give it to someone? Think about it carefully? The emperor will not tolerate perfunctory fooling around."
"It is indeed missing." Yuan Qing Ling said.
Eunuch Mu Ru's face suddenly turned ugly. He was not a smart man.
Tang Yang heard the conversation and immediately went to report to Yu Wenhao. Yu Wenhao looked cold and said, "Please come in, father-in-law."
Tang Yang walked out quickly, raised his hands and said to Mu Ru, "Thank you for your hard work, please come in and have a glass of water."
Eunuch Mu Ru waved his hand, "No need, our family is on errands."
"I'm on an errand, but I can't pay back the Nanzhu right now. Why don't we go in and do the sum total?" Tang Yang looked at Eunuch Mu Ru pleadingly.
Eunuch Mu Ru thought of the King of Chu and the child he had watched grow up. It was too much to really have such thoughts.
He also had to give a few reminders.
So he said: "Well, our family is thirsty after walking all the way, so I think it won't be delayed to drink some water."
"Yes, yes!" Tang Yang breathed a sigh of relief and quickly invited his father-in-law in.
