The letter sent by Chu Mingxu, who was "pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger", was delivered to Empress Qin in just one hour.
Aunt Shu sent the letter in, still a little worried, "Mother, if the emperor knows about this, I'm afraid it will happen again."
Queen Qin said calmly: "Go and invite the emperor over."
Aunt Shu's face tightened, "Is your Majesty going to the Tiger Mountain even though you know there are tigers in the mountain?"
"That's what he said. If you don't want to go behind his back, let him come and see it too." Empress Qin said calmly.
The correspondence between her and Chu Feng was like saying hello to an old friend. In her heart, she was a pen pal. There was no ambiguity at all. She didn't think there was anything she couldn't read.
The reason why I didn't tell him before was because I felt it was unnecessary. How could I let him know about my affairs?
But the last fight was so noisy that the old man lay snoring on the bed for a few days. If his back was turned again, she would probably find another quarrel, and she was annoyed, so she might as well just gong and drumming with him face to face.
Emperor Yong of the Ming Dynasty came.
When he saw the letter on the table, his face suddenly tightened.
"Then that bastard wrote to you again? What does he mean?" Emperor Ming Yong snorted coldly.
Empress Qin frowned, but she knew his temper and said, "Let's take a look together."
Emperor Yong of the Ming Dynasty was so jealous that he wanted to leave but felt that he was at a disadvantage. He turned around and came back and sat next to her to watch her open the letter from that bastard.
The letter was very simple. He knew that her birthday was coming, wished her a happy birthday, and had a gift for her. He asked his nephew to give it to her in person. As for the meeting place, she decided.
After Queen Qin finished reading it, she showed it to him.
Emperor Yong of the Ming Dynasty snorted coldly after reading ten lines at a glance, "He didn't come quietly and wanted to see you, right?"
"If Chu Feng comes, he will come directly as an envoy, and there is no need to secretly deliver a message to me? Do you think he is you?" Queen Qin glanced at him.
Emperor Yong of the Ming Dynasty choked for a moment: "We, the Yong Dynasty, are a huge country. We don't have any treasures, so why do we need his three melons and two dates? No, no, no!"
Queen Qin: "This is for me, not for you."
Emperor Yong of the Ming Dynasty was angry: "You want to keep his things to see things and miss people, right?"
"If you are so jealous at such a young age, people will laugh to death if word spreads about it!" Empress Qin despised.
"You're so old? It seems that I haven't served you well these days. Otherwise, why would you have this illusion? I have to show you that your man is still as powerful as he was in the past!" Emperor Ming Yong said.
, he just carried her inside.
Even Queen Qin couldn't help but blush, and hit him, "Are you sick?" There is a banquet tonight!
After throwing her on the bed, he suppressed her. When he saw that she was about to resist, he suppressed her aggressively.
That afternoon, Emperor Yong of the Ming Dynasty ate and drank enough, and even took his queen to sleep.
It's already late when I wake up.
Aunt Shu quickly brought people in to help the Queen bathe and change clothes.
He couldn't help but say: "It's true, Your Majesty, you still make trouble for your empress on days like this."
These days, there has been almost daily trouble, and Aunt Shu even privately advised Empress Qin that the emperor was not in good health, so she should exercise some restraint.
Empress Qin told her about three heavenly fragrant cardamom.
Of course Aunt Shu was overjoyed. She was with Empress Qin and knew the deep relationship between the two. Now that the emperor is in good health, the empress does not need to be a widow. The empress is still so young!
Of course, having a good relationship is also a good thing. She usually doesn't care how much trouble she wants, as long as her body is fine. But what day is it today? She has to attend a palace banquet.
Queen Qin also had a hint of irritation in her eyes, "That's just a bastard!"
Compared with Empress Qin's scolding, Emperor Yong of Ming Dynasty was so proud of himself.
Taking cardamom with natural fragrance cured his old illness and gave him a second spring.
There is indeed no change in appearance, and his hair is still white as it should be, but the expression between his eyebrows and eyes is different from the past, not to mention his physical fitness.
According to Tong Lao's pulse, his body now seems to have returned to the quality he had when he was about thirty years old.
He even asked outside the bathing room if he could come in to help. He probably wanted to come in and wait for Empress Qin to take a bath.
Aunt Shu, who knew the emperor's intention: "..."
Empress Qin, who also knew the old man's thoughts, was so angry that she said harshly: "If you dare to take a step forward, I will fight you forever!"
"Okay, then I'll go wait for you in the palace." Emperor Yong of the Ming Dynasty knew how to stop when it was appropriate. Knowing that his queen was really angry, she didn't dare to touch the tiger's whiskers, so she quickly learned how to behave.
While the emperor and empress were bickering, the Chonghua Hall had already begun to get lively.
Last time, only officials of the second rank and above and their family members could attend the Queen's birthday. This time, the reception banquet for envoys from neighboring countries was relaxed. Officials of the third rank and above could bring their family members to the banquet.
When the officials were about to arrive, King Qi and Yin Ruyue entered the scene.
The couple went to the banquet hand in hand, looking into each other's eyes with endless affection.
Mr. Xiao and Mrs. Xiao came forward to see the ceremony.
"Uncle and aunt, there is no need to be polite, please take a seat quickly." King Qi was in high spirits during happy events recently and said with a smile.
Mr. Xiao just paid it back, but Mrs. Xiao couldn't help but glance at Yin Ruyue.
This banquet is different from last time. Last time it was divided into men and women, but this time it is for families.
After returning to the Xiao family's seat, Mrs. Xiao looked at Mr. Xiao's silly look and couldn't help but snorted, "Thank you for being able to laugh!"
Mr. Xiao said angrily: "I'll tell you what's wrong with you. If you dare to make me lose face on such an occasion, be careful I'll make you embarrassed too!"
Mrs. Xiao was immediately speechless and only complained in a low voice, "That's not what I meant. It's just that the fake legitimate daughter is so popular with the prince now. Isn't this detrimental to Ru'er's foothold in Prince Qi's palace?"
Mr. Xiao said: "What does it have to do with Ru'er?"
"Master, do you still think it's okay?" Mrs. Xiao said angrily.
Mr. Xiao: "Don't blame me for not reminding you. Now the prince attaches great importance to his princess and feels that her princess is his lucky star. If you dare to do anything to her and ruin the prince's luck, he will not let you go."
Mrs. Xiao's heart froze when she heard this.
No, after the banquet is over, she has to go and have a chat with her empress. This fake daughter-in-law wants to go to heaven and dares to claim to be the prince's lucky star!
Compared with King Qi, King Rong came alone this time, and Princess Rong did not come.
In fact, the incident that occurred at the Queen's birthday banquet last time made everyone in the Zheng family unable to hold their heads high, and now there are still many people outside talking about it in private.
Princess Rong loves face most, so why would she be willing to come to this occasion?
It is inevitable to wait for the wind to pass.
King Rong looked very unhappy and looked at King Qi, signaling King Qi to come over.
"What's wrong? Why didn't your princess come with you?" King Qi also stood up and came over and asked.
King Rong's expression is not because Princess Rong doesn't come, he is just happy that the evil lady doesn't come!
"When I came here, I met the eldest princess and Prince Li and his wife who were going to the harem to meet Mr. Gong!" King Rong snorted coldly.
"Released?" King Qi's face tightened.
"Are you stupid in the gentle countryside?" King Rong glanced at him.
King Qi: "..." When did King Rong despise him for being addicted to women? And why was he addicted? It was just a step too late!
King Rong did not have those romantic thoughts now, and said: "Father has decreed that the concubine Xian should be released from the cold palace..."
Tell him everything again.
However, the title of Xian Fei has been taken away and she was demoted to a noble person.
King Feili also had his captivity lifted and was demoted to the first level to become a county king.
And the reason why I was able to come out and receive such treatment is of course due to the three mineral veins that the eldest princess brought back a while ago.
It was reported at the time, but it has been inspected and verified these days. It is not a large vein, but it can indeed be mined for three to five years without any problem.
It was considered that the eldest princess had made a great contribution, so her mother-in-law and her imperial brother were pardoned.
King Qi's face was very gloomy, "Situ Bing is so capable!"
"What does it have to do with Situ Bing? How can a woman be so capable?" King Rong snorted coldly.
His face was even uglier than King Qi's.
You must know that he was the one who reported it with his real name and sent King Li into a place of eternal destruction. But he didn't expect that he would be like this, and he could still come back from the ashes!
Of course, King Qi also understood that although the eldest princess said that she immediately looked for mineral veins to make up for her mistakes after knowing that her mother-in-law and the emperor's brother had made mistakes, but who would believe this?
In just one year, three mineral veins were found. What were you doing before you had this ability? The person who discovered these three mineral veins was none other than the boss, and he just took over from Situ Bing!
King Qi couldn't help but said: "What kind of talented craftsman does he have in his hands? He actually has so many mineral veins!"
Of course, he also ordered people to search for it privately, including King Rong, but where is the mineral vein so easy to find? He spent a lot of manpower, material and financial resources, but found nothing.
But the boss has a lot of mineral veins in his hands. I thought that what was revealed before was enough, but now I know that it is just a drop in the bucket!
King Qi was so jealous that his eyes were red.
If he can find a vein of minerals, he won't have to worry about running out of money!
Of course, private mining is illegal, but who doesn’t have some windfall? The key is to have that channel.
Prince Rong has the Lin'an Prince's family as his mother, so it's okay and he's not short of money.
The King of Qi is really short of money. How can he raise people, socialize, and manage connections without spending money? Even the Xiao family, the mother clan, can't provide it at all!
Otherwise, how could he be so happy if Yin Ruyue had thought of Rong Yang Pills as a way to make money for him this time!
But King Li has so many mines in his hands, how can he not be jealous!
