Princess Xinping was so well-behaved, but Concubine Wu was startled, a little doubtful, and a little distressed. She looked at her for a moment, and seeing that it was getting late, she waved her hand and went back to the palace.
As soon as he went out, he asked the female official Lancao: "Does the empress know about this?"
The empress that Concubine Wu asked about was naturally the empress. Apart from the empress, no one else could be called Concubine Wu.
Lancao seemed to be thin, and her face was calm: "If you tell me back to your Majesty, the Queen should already know about it."
It is impossible for anyone with some insight into such a major event not to know about it.
Although the Empress lives deep in the palace, Concubine Wu believed that the Empress must also have connections outside the palace.
Even if she has no connections outside the palace, there will always be someone who wants to deliver news to a dignified queen.
"Now that she knows, it depends on what she chooses."
"Let's see if she chooses to offend the emperor."
Concubine Wu walked to the door and looked at the courtyard outside the flower hall, pursed her lips and her eyes darkened slightly.
After all, no matter how much love you have, it is difficult to offset the constant consumption. Queen, what choice will you make?
Yongle Palace
Kunning Palace was originally the residence of the empress in the past dynasties, but it was too solemn. Twenty years ago, the empress moved to Yongle Palace and has not moved back yet. November has passed, and there have been several rains and snowfalls.
The wind is getting colder, the palace has begun to prepare for the New Year, and the group's affairs are divided
It was rare for the queen to actually take charge of the palace power and distribute it. Although she had not been in charge for a long time, there were not many obstacles. The sky turned cloudy at some point that day, and someone hurriedly entered the side hall.
Once entering the side hall, the feeling inside the hall suddenly changed.
The furnishings here are also very particular, but they give people a livable feeling rather than being large and solemn. The queen is peeling fruits nonchalantly on the chair in the side hall.
When she heard someone coming in, she didn't raise her head and just said lightly: "What's the matter in a hurry?"
There were some palace officials standing in the side hall, all looking at the people coming in.
This man was a young eunuch who looked very smart. He knelt down and reported: "Congratulations to your Majesty, the King Chitose today went to the ceremony at the Minister's Mansion. At the end of the ceremony, there was a holy man in the daytime, and a man of God saluted the King Chisui.
There is even a dragon in his arms, and this matter has already spread in the capital!"
"Congratulations to the empress, congratulations to the empress, this is auspicious." The little eunuch saluted with a smile. He felt that he was smart. When he heard the news, he rushed over to report it first.
As soon as these words came out, the queen's hand stopped. However, there were also some smart people among the people serving in the palace. When they heard "the saint appeared in the daytime", "the god saluted" and "the dragon entered the arms", they felt that this was a great event!
This is a good sign!
Didn't emperors in the past like to do things like this, just to show that they were not born as mortals?
The thousand-year-old king on behalf of the king can have such auspiciousness, doesn't it mean that the king on behalf of the thousand-year-old king is not an ordinary person, and has the same spiritual power as the emperor.
These people even thought that this was an opportunity to please the Queen, and secretly hated the little eunuch for taking the opportunity. One of the eunuchs immediately stood up and said to the Queen with a smile on his face: "Congratulations to the Queen! Congratulations to the Queen, this is great.
A great happy event is auspicious!"
"Shut up!" Before he could say the next auspicious words in one breath, he was suddenly stopped.
This sound immediately silenced the side hall.
Several other people who also wanted to congratulate were originally angry that these two thieves had taken the lead, but now, they looked at the queen in shock, and saw that the queen's face was pale, without any blood, and her face was covered with blood.
Hanshuang, a thought immediately emerged in his heart: "Fortunately!"
Fortunately, I didn't have time to speak!
If someone hadn't stepped out of the trap for him, and if he had taken the lead, I'm afraid he would have said the same thing!
Just looking at the Queen's angry face, I'm afraid she will fall out of favor with the Queen!
As expected, the empress stood up, sneered, and said coldly: "The palace has its own rules. Apart from serving food, clothing, and daily life, you are not allowed to talk much, let alone interfere in politics. Haven't you learned the rules?"
The two eunuchs did not expect to be scolded as soon as they opened their mouths. Seeing the queen's gloomy face, they were so frightened that they knelt down on the ground with a "poof". Their faces turned pale and they just kowtowed: "I know my fault and I don't dare to do it anymore..."
"Only by punishing those who have done something wrong can the palace be clear and clear. There is no reason to get through easily. Come on, slap me fifty times!"
"Yes!" Someone immediately stepped forward and held down the two eunuchs. Then there was a nun with a big body and a round waist, and she slapped them with a slap.
Amidst the crackling sound, the queen's face was still gloomy, and she stood up directly: "Show off!"
As for where the driver was going, even though a few close people had guessed it, they didn't dare to persuade him.
The Queen is so angry right now, even if she wants to, she won't be able to stop her!
Unless the Queen can figure it out herself!
Just as the Queen had given the order and someone had gone out to prepare the chariot, the Queen walked a few steps, looked at the gray palace courtyard in the rain and snow, and suddenly said: "Wait a minute, let the people come back!"
Immediately, someone went out and asked the people who were preparing the phoenix chariot to go back. Everyone was so angry that they didn't dare to say a word, but just stood there with their hands down.
After being slapped for fifty times, the two eunuchs' faces were as swollen as steamed buns and their teeth were probably missing. They vaguely thanked the Queen for the slap.
"You blind bastard, why don't you go down?" Yu Han came up at this time, saw it, and just scolded the two eunuchs and quickly retreated. In an instant, the huge side hall became quiet. In the slight rain and snow, the queen
After sitting there for a moment, his tone became much calmer: "What did the emperor say about this matter?"
Yu Han hurriedly replied: "The emperor didn't say anything when I returned to your Majesty."
The queen had no explanation for the matter. She sat back slowly and said, "There is no need to prepare the chariot for now..."
Previously, she was just called back, but now she has completely canceled the trip. Those who serve her don't know what the queen is thinking at this time.
As soon as Yu Han raised his eyes, he was startled. The queen seemed to be sinking into the candlelight, with an inexplicable expression.
This situation... this is so similar to that of the past...
imperial study room
The bookshelves are scattered in an orderly manner, covered by heavy curtains, and the warmth of the dragon in the corridor is thick. Standing on the left and right are four eunuchs who are standing in obeisance. The emperor is holding a tube and writing Zhu's approval on a memorial.
But the atmosphere in the entire royal study room was extremely depressing, as if there was a cold breath blowing here, making all the people serving there lower their heads, let alone look up, wishing that they would be blind and deaf immediately, which is better than hearing this.
Deadly news!
After Ma Shunde, the eunuch who reported the situation in the Vice Minister's Mansion, could not hear his master's inquiry.
After a long time, a voice sounded.
"Did you witness with your own eyes that a god made a gift and a dragon entered his arms?" After hearing this, the emperor was silent for a long time, his face was a little pale, and he said lightly with melancholy.
The emotions in the voice were somewhat difficult to distinguish between joy and anger. Ma Shunde couldn't tell what it felt like to be an emperor, but for Ma Shunde, there was no need to tell the difference at all!
This kind of thing is even more serious and arrogant than when the prince was the prince!
At that time, the prince gained the support of scholars and some of his courtiers. This made the emperor extremely afraid, and he finally took action to destroy the prince's entire family!
At that time, the prince was still the emperor's eldest son, the legitimate heir, and the emperor's favorite son! In other words, he was the favorite son in the eyes of everyone!
