Emperor Ning's eyes fell on the Queen with a bit of chill. The Queen shuddered and leaned down a little lower.
Yun Shang's gaze faintly swept over the people present. Except for some courtiers who did not participate in the competition due to various reasons, those present now include all the ladies and several young men from aristocratic families who just sent Hua Jing back.
"Shang'er, it's almost time to put it away." Prince Jing approached Yun Shang and said softly.
Yun Shang pondered for a moment. The scene has reached this point. It's time for people to know about it. Everyone already knows it. Even if Emperor Ning orders it to be sealed, everyone in the imperial city will know about it in less than two days. The royal family will also know about it.
No matter how much dignity you have, you should not show it in front of everyone.
Yun Shang stood up, walked to the queen's side and saluted Emperor Ning, "Father, today's celebration is to welcome the third prince of Yelang Kingdom and the seventh prince of Xia Kingdom. For such a trivial matter, father, why don't you just wait it out?
Will you come to discuss it again?"
Emperor Ning's expression changed, and he looked at the people in the field. Everyone lowered their heads quickly, but Emperor Ning was even more angry. Dang even lowered his face and said, "What Chang'er said is, what is the queen doing kneeling there?
"
Empress Yuanzhen gritted her teeth secretly, and then said slowly, "I know my mistake." Then she stood up and walked to the stand.
Prince Jing looked at the young masters who were sending Hua Jing back and said, "The men's competition is not over yet, do you want to continue?"
The few people looked at each other and shook their heads.
Prince Jing nodded, then turned to the side and looked at Cang Jueqing, who seemed to have not recovered yet, and asked, "Will the third prince continue to compete?"
"Ah?" Cangjue Qingsu's body trembled for a moment before he regained his composure, calmed down his expression, shook his head and said, "No, all the men in Ning Guo are good hunters. I, the prince, am willing to fall behind."
The abnormality of Cang Jue Qingsu attracted Emperor Ning's attention. When Emperor Ning saw Cang Jue Qingsu staring at the blood on the ground in a daze, his heart skipped a beat. He remembered the letter of marriage proposal sent to him from the border a few months ago, and his eyes flashed.
He suddenly sank down. Cang Jue Qingsu's letter seemed to have said that Hua Jing already had a physical relationship with him, and the child in Hua Jing's belly was most likely...his...
Emperor Ning's eyes rolled, and he felt a little irritated in his heart. Well, you Cangjue Qingsu, he has written down today's shame.
Prince Jing saw that the atmosphere on the field was a bit cold, so he stood up and said with a smile, "Miss Wang's riding skills just now opened my eyes. She is really a woman who can't be compared to other women."
Yun Shang raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and looked at Wang Jinyan with a bit of curiosity, "Could it be that Miss Wang took the lead?"
King Jing nodded. Yun Shang looked at Wang Jinyan, but saw that her expression was indifferent. Seeing that Yun Shang was looking at her, she was not too proud. She just smiled at Yun Shang in a friendly way. Yun Shang secretly praised her in her heart.
This Miss Wang is actually a friend worth making.
When she came to the palace in Fengcheng before, her mother-in-law once said that she should have a few close friends. Yun Shang seemed indifferent at that time, but now when she looked at Wang Jinyan's appearance, she felt a little confused in her heart.
Expectation. In the previous life, because I was too pampered, there were many women who were courteous to me, but none of them were sincere. I am not without regrets. It is just because of the environment that I have not come into contact with many people, and there are even fewer people worth dating.
Well, if it were Wang Jinyan, I wouldn't reject it.
When Emperor Ning saw the looks of Prince Jing and Yun Chang, he breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Prince Jing and Chang'er did not disappoint him. After all, they did not let others see the joke of the Ning Kingdom royal family again.
"The time for the hunting competition is coming, Your Majesty, are you beating the drum?" Prince Jing raised his head, looked at the sun, and said to Emperor Ning.
Emperor Ning nodded, "Okay."
King Jing clapped his hands, and the drummers on the side started to beat the drums. More than ten large drums rang together, which made people's ears hurt. King Jing raised his hands and covered Yun Shang's ears with a faint look in his eyes.
Concerned. Emperor Ning looked at it, was slightly stunned, and then looked away again.
After a while, the sound of horse hooves was heard, and horses kept running over in the forest, with their harvested prey hanging behind them.
Yun Shang squinted her eyes and looked at the people approaching, including Prime Minister Li...
Emperor Ning glanced at Prime Minister Li lightly, but said nothing. After a long while, Prince Jing said, "Your Majesty, everyone participating in the hunting competition is here."
Emperor Ning nodded, "Thank you for your hard work, my dear brother, please ask someone to count everyone's achievements."
Prince Jing responded and called several guards to check and register everyone's results one by one. Then he walked to the center of the field and said, "Reporting to the emperor, the leader of the men's hunting competition is the son of the Minister of War, Wang Jinhuan, and the second place is
Prime Minister Li, number three, is the seventh prince of the Xia Kingdom."
Hearing this, Yun Shang raised her eyebrows. The two sons and daughters of the Minister of War were not vegetarians. Unexpectedly, Wang Jinhuan looked like a playboy on weekdays, but he did have some real ability.
Emperor Ning also seemed to be stunned, then he laughed and said to the Minister of War who was not on the stage, "Wang Shangshu has taught a pair of good children. He has won the first place in the men's group and the women's group. Reward! Two leaders."
what do you want?"
Wang Shangshu brought Wang Jinhuan and Wang Jinyan forward to salute. Wang Jinhuan said with a smile, "Reporting to the emperor, the common people don't like being an official, nor do they like money. If the emperor is willing to give the common people a few beauties, the common people will be satisfied.
Already."
Wang Shangshu frowned slightly, secretly pulled Wang Jinhuan's clothes, and secretly cursed, "Beast! What a nonsense!"
There are many people who are good at martial arts. Although Wang Shangshu's voice is small, it is heard by many people. Emperor Ning was slightly stunned before he laughed, "Young Master Wang has a straightforward temper, which is very rare. In this case,
Then I will promise you, and I will send a few beauties to the Shangshu Mansion later."
Wang Jinhuan looked overjoyed and quickly smiled and thanked him, "The common people thank you for your grace."
When everyone saw this, they all looked down upon Wang Jinhuan. It was really not worth it for such a good opportunity to be wasted by such a fool.
Yun Shang saw everyone's expressions at a glance and laughed secretly in her heart. She didn't know who was stupid. You must know that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. The Wang family has become quite popular nowadays. Wang Jinhuan makes people think that he is a fool.
The romantic and dandy Adou would not take more precautions, which made everyone in the Wang family a little safer.
It was Wang Jinyan's turn. Wang Jinyan pondered for a moment and then said, "My daughter likes to play with swords and guns. I don't want to be an ordinary woman sitting in the back house doing nothing. I hope the emperor can give me a chance to go to the palace."
battlefield……"
Everyone present was shocked again, why are the children of the Wang family more mischievous than the other? A daughter's family said that they wanted to go to the battlefield, not to mention whether the emperor would agree to it. If this word spread, I'm afraid no one would dare.
Marrying Wang Jinyan came in.
Wang Shangshu's face became even more ugly.
Emperor Ning glanced at the table with his hand. Yun Shang narrowed his eyes and said, "Father, I heard that one of the founding heroes of the Ning Kingdom also had a female general. I heard that although she was a woman, she was courageous, wise and kind.
However, her strategy is much better than that of many men, and she has made a lot of contributions to Ningguo. I saw that Miss Wang’s skills are really good. Since Miss Wang has such a great ambition, why not fulfill her?"
What Yun Shang was talking about was one of the founding generals of the Ning Kingdom, a woman named Ji Yunyi. Although she was a woman, she was also a legendary figure. I heard that the woman's father was a military general. Ji Yunyi had followed her father in battles since she was a child. Later, her father fought in
After his death, she took on the responsibilities of her father. She followed the founding emperor of Ning State and fought everywhere with great achievements. She is a legend of Ning State.
Seeing Yun Shang say this, Emperor Ning nodded, "Since Miss Wang has such an ambition, then I will fulfill it for you. I will make you a school captain and let you follow Prince Jing in the imperial city."
I will be on standby and train my troops as usual. If there is a war, I will send King Jing to the expedition."
Wang Jinyan was overjoyed and quickly thanked her, saying, "My dear, thank you for your grace."
Prime Minister Li only felt that something was wrong in the atmosphere. His eyes fell on the Queen on the stand, but he saw that her face was pale, her eyes were a little distracted, and she had a vague premonition in her heart. Prime Minister Li remembered that she had just come out
When I arrived, I saw that Li Yaoqi was already sitting in his seat. Judging from his expression, it didn't seem like he had just come out.
Prime Minister Li looked at Li Yaoqi and saw that he seemed to be a little absent-minded, so he seemed to agree with his guess. However, it was still early for the emperor and he could not ask questions, so he had to sit on the chair and think about how to get out.
I’ll ask Li Yaoqi if I get the chance.
Emperor Ning raised his eyes and looked at everyone's expressions. There was a bit of a smile on his face, but there was a hint of coldness in his eyes. "The ladies who just performed their talents are also rewarded. Prince Jing, please tell people to give them to you later."
The rewards are delivered to all the ladies. We have all worked hard today, so we will have a good rest in the afternoon. There is also a bonfire carnival arranged in the evening, so let’s disperse first.”
"I respectfully send you off to your Majesty..." Everyone saluted quickly and stood up after Emperor Ning's figure disappeared in front of everyone.
The Queen, Yun Shang, and Prince Jing all followed Emperor Ning away. Everyone began to whisper. There were many people who had just seen the incident, but there were also some who didn't know about it, so they went up to ask. Prime Minister Li heard
Hua Jing's name was mentioned one after another among everyone, but they seemed to deliberately avoid him during the discussion. He had no way of knowing the situation, so he frowned, called Li Yaoqi, and took him to a secluded place.
He looked around and said, "What happened while I was away just now?"
Li Yaoqi quickly knelt down and said, "Grandpa, it's all Qi'er's fault. Qi'er has caused trouble for the princess and the queen's aunt..."
Li Yaoqi was Prime Minister Li's most satisfied grandson. Seeing that he looked very unhappy, he knew that the situation might be serious, so he quickly asked, "What's going on?"
Li Yaoqi didn't dare to hide anything, so he quickly told everything, "My grandson was hunting and saw a black bear. My grandson shot the black bear with an arrow, but found that Wang Jinhuan also shot the black bear."
, the black bear was injured and went crazy, so it ran around. The grandson hurriedly chased it, and found the black bear at the edge of the dense forest, but saw it attacking Princess Hua Jing. Princess Hua Jing was thrown twice by the black bear, and the grandson
He quickly restrained the black bear, but Princess Hua Jing was injured. When her grandson saw that Princess Hua Jing was covered in blood, he sent her back without having time to think..." Li Yaoqi paused and raised his eyes to look.
He glanced at Prime Minister Li's expression.
"Then what?" Prime Minister Li frowned. It turned out that Hua Jing was injured. No wonder the queen's complexion was not very good, but there was still something wrong. If it was just an injury, why did those people talk about Hua Jing just now?
Did you deliberately avoid yourself?
Li Yaoqi was silent for a moment and then said, "The doctor checked Princess Hua Jing's pulse and said she had a miscarriage..."
Prime Minister Li was startled, and there was a bit of coldness in his eyes. Prime Minister Li has been in a high position for a long time, and he always carries a certain dignity, but now he is very scary.
Li Yaoqi lowered his head, his eyes full of annoyance, "It's the grandson's fault. If the grandson knew about the princess... Even if the grandson risked his life, he would have someone secretly send the princess away..."
Prime Minister Li secretly clenched the hand in his sleeve, trying his best to calm down the anger in his chest, "That beast, you didn't inform us of such a big matter. This matter has damaged the royal family's face. The emperor will definitely not spare Hua Jing."
, the civil and military officials did not dare to poke the emperor's spine to discuss this matter, but they would definitely say that my Li family's family tradition was not upright, and even the queen would find it difficult to raise her face in the palace in the future. That beast! Before, she and the Zhao family
When things got really bad, I said she would do something bad sooner or later, and I still protected everyone, but now something has happened! You beast! You are so confused, so confused!"
Prime Minister Li scolded several beasts in succession, and Li Yaoqi's face became even more embarrassed. After a long while, Prime Minister Li calmed down the anger in his chest and said, "Now that I am in charge of receiving the envoys, the Emperor will definitely not treat me too much at this time."
It's embarrassing, but you won't let it go! Forget it, go back first, call your father and uncles, and we will discuss countermeasures together."
Li Yaoqi nodded and followed Prime Minister Li back to his room in the eastern suburbs palace.
On the other side, Emperor Ning looked at the person kneeling in front of him indifferently, with an unconcealable coldness in his eyes, "The queen has really taught a good daughter, she knows how to make me the most embarrassed, haha, now I can
Well, even Yelang Kingdom and Xia Kingdom know about it..."
The queen's body was upright, but her hands were trembling slightly, "I know that I have committed a serious sin, and I ask the emperor to punish me."
"Punishment? Then tell me, queen, how should I punish you? How should I punish you? How should I punish Hua Jing?" Emperor Ning sneered.
Queen Yuanzhen fell silent. She knew that Emperor Ning had been embarrassed in front of the envoys of the two countries, so she would not let Hua Jing go. If she insisted on forcing it, she might not even be able to keep her position as queen...
…
The queen gritted her teeth, no, she had lost enough. She must not lose this position. If she could not even keep this position, then she would be really useless, and everything she had endured before would have been in vain.
"Your Majesty, Princess Hua Jing is the royal princess of the Ning Kingdom. She is not good at what she does and has disgraced the reputation of the royal family. I would like to ask the emperor to remove Princess Hua Jing from her position and demote her to a commoner..." The queen laid her body on the ground and a line slipped from her eyes.
Tears came, "I have no idea how to teach my daughter, so I would like to stay away from home for three months to pray for Concubine Jin and her unborn child..."
After hearing this, Emperor Ning looked at the Queen with a bit of ridicule. He would rather demote Hua Jing to a commoner than give up the position of Queen. It is really her Li Yiran's style, and it is really Prime Minister Li's.
As for his style, do you want to occupy the position of queen life and death? In this case, he will help her, and when the time comes, he will let the position of queen be buried with her.
The day he seizes the opportunity of Prime Minister Li and removes the Li family from Ning Guo will be the anniversary of her death.
Queen Yuanzhen waited for a long time, but did not wait for Emperor Ning's response. Her heart gradually became cold, but she could only grit her teeth and persist. She knew that at this time, Emperor Ning would never really do anything to her. Now, at most,
It's just Emperor Ning's show of force against her. A show of force against her, haha, how sad...
After a while, he heard faint footsteps coming from outside. Emperor Ning raised his eyes and looked at the door, and saw Manager Zheng walking in, "Your Majesty, Princess Huajing, wake up."
Emperor Ning's eyes fell on the empress who trembled slightly, and nodded, "Are you awake? Then I'll go and have a look." After saying that, he ignored Empress Yuanzhen who was kneeling on the ground, and raised her feet to
Walk outside the door.
After a long while, no other sound could be heard, and then the queen's body began to tremble slightly. At first it was just slight, but at the end, there was a faint sound of sobbing. Queen Yuanzhen fell to the ground, her body wet with tears.
of ground.
Emperor Ning followed Manager Zheng and came to the wing where Hua Jing was being treated. As soon as he stepped in, he saw Yun Shang and Prince Jing were there. When Emperor Ning came in, Yun Shang and Prince Jing quickly stood up and said:
Emperor Ning bowed.
Emperor Ning nodded and said, "Why don't Chang'er and the emperor's brother go to rest?"
Yun Shang lowered his head and said, "Shang'er saw that the emperor's sister was very seriously injured, and felt uneasy, so I came to see the emperor. The emperor's uncle came with Chang'er."
Emperor Ning's eyes paused on Prince Jing before he nodded, "Are you awake?"
Just as Yun Shang nodded, she heard some movement inside. Xu Hua Jing heard Emperor Ning's voice and said quickly, "Father, father, Jing'er doesn't know why this is happening. Jing'er doesn't know anything."
I know, Jing'er doesn't know anything..."
Ning Di frowned, walked around the screen, and walked to the bed. He saw Hua Jing's originally beautiful face as pale as snow, and there were mottled blood stains on the quilt. Hua Jing's eyes were a little hollow, and it took him a long time to notice Emperor Ning.
, his expression became excited, and he quickly stretched out his hand to grab the corner of Emperor Ning's clothes and said, "Father, do you believe Jing'er? Jing'er doesn't know anything."
Emperor Ning sneered, "I heard that the baby is more than three months old? It's been more than three months, and you didn't know you were pregnant?" Hua Jing looked blank, tears fell from his eyes, and he kept shaking.
He nodded, but he didn't know what he was mumbling, "I want to know who the father of this child is. If you tell me, I will bypass you..." (To be continued)
