So, on this night, there was no thunder and fury, no bloody storm, and all the estrangements in the past that had been thought to be dead seemed to be untied at once. Although the sky was dark, it seemed that the wind was warm and the sun was shining, and only the monarch and his ministers were in harmony.
An emperor and two gray-haired veterans were sitting together in the south study, chatting happily for a long time.
We chatted for more than an hour.
Eunuch Zhang stood aside, looking at the three of them with infinite regret in his heart.
After thinking about the palace banquet a few months ago, and then thinking about today, I really can’t believe it.
Your Majesty is worthy of being your Majesty. He turns out to be a man who can control himself freely. No wonder he stood out from all the princes and finally took the throne.
I'm afraid everyone, even him, feels that His Majesty has made such a big fuss and it will not end well. Either you die or I live with the Nanyang Palace. Who knows, today, I heard that not only the fourth prince, the fifth prince, but also the people sent by King Jing jointly sent there.
After the defeat of Wufeng Mountain, the defeat of the fourth prince, the fifth prince and all the others who followed, his majesty summoned old Nanyang King to the palace. No matter what his intentions were, as soon as Mr. Gu entered the palace, your majesty saw Mr. Gu's face.
At that moment, everything calmed down.
The Gu family is also an admirable existence. Mr. Gu is worthy of being the head of the family who turned the tide of the Gu family twenty years ago. In a few words, he reconciled this inextricable knot.
To be honest, the Seventh Young Master is still very powerful. After he sent the letter, he invited Mr. Gu into the palace, which is probably the right thing to do.
If there is no plan left, it must be Master Gu Qi.
He was thinking, in a few days, the Seventh Young Master should enter the palace to see His Majesty and return to the court, right?
An hour later, the emperor said, "It's too late, please don't go back home, please stay in the palace!"
Mr. Gu shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, I will not stay if I choose a table."
The old King of Nanyang also shook his head, "Chu Yan is still in Wufeng Mountain. I am really worried that I can't sleep, lest I disturb His Majesty by wandering around in the palace, I'd better go back!"
After all, the emperor had a strong heart. When the old Nanyang King mentioned Chu Yan, he did not show any embarrassment on his face and said, "I have also experienced him and believe in his ability. He has been gone for a few days and there is no bad news about him so far.
If Lao Aiqing is really worried, why don't I order Chu Chen to take the troops to Wufeng Mountain tomorrow?"
Although the old Nanyang King knew what the situation was like in Wufeng Mountain, he also responded to the situation, "Well, he is not like Xiao An'er. He has never been in the army or fought since he was a child. The old minister is really worried."
"I will send Chu Chen early tomorrow morning." The emperor also wanted to know what the situation in Wufeng Mountain is now.
After accepting his words, Mr. Gu and Old Nanyang King said goodbye together and left the South Study Room.
The emperor ordered people to take the two of them out of the palace with palace lanterns.
After walking out of the South Study Room, neither the old Nanyang King nor Mr. Gu spoke for a long time. The two old men walked side by side with emotion in their hearts.
Your Majesty retracted his hand, took a step back, and stopped being aggressive. This is always a good thing, and the court cannot tolerate chaos.
After entering the palace, the old King Nanyang did not mention the Queen to His Majesty, nor did the Emperor.
However, after the old King Nanyang and Mr. Gu left, the emperor sat alone in silence for a long time, and then said to Eunuch Zhang, "Go and send a message to Fengqi Palace to lift the empress's ban. The harem cannot always be without the empress. Let her
Starting tomorrow, I will take on the responsibility of the queen."
Eunuch Zhang raised his head and glanced at the emperor, it should be.
Just as he was about to order people to go, the emperor suddenly changed his tune and stood up, "Well, with her temper, if I didn't go to cheer her up, she would probably ignore her and ignore her. I'd better go and talk to her myself."
Let her say it!"
Eunuch Zhang suddenly smiled, "Your Majesty, you are right. I am worried about how to tell the Queen."
The emperor snorted, "Her son is powerful, her mother-in-law is powerful, she looks soft, but in fact she is very tough in her bones. Over the years, although she often talks softly to me, when things happen, she is very tough.
She had been very strong in protecting the eldest prince when he secretly made weapons a few years ago, and now she is even more protective of An Huajin. I am afraid that I will have to live by her face in the future."
Eunuch Zhang immediately said, "Your Majesty is serious."
Although Eunuch Zhang said it was serious, he felt in his heart that it was not serious at all. Will Your Majesty have to suppress his temper and look at the Queen's face in the future? The Queen has obviously endured enough for so many years. Your Majesty, for the sake of personal
Hua Siyu made such a fuss, which naturally hurt the Queen's heart. There was not much true love between the couple, and now there is not even a trace of it left. In the future, even if His Majesty wants the Queen to treat him as before, I'm afraid it will be difficult.
No more.
Alas, people just can’t do it, even if they are emperors.
Eunuch Zhang carried the palace lantern and accompanied the emperor all the way to Fengqi Palace.
The palace doors of Fengqi Palace were closed tightly, and it was very quiet, as if the entire palace was asleep.
The emperor waved his hand and ordered, "Get out of here! From tomorrow on, the queen's ban will be lifted."
The people guarding outside Fengqi Palace responded immediately and all evacuated.
Eunuch Zhang led his men to knock on the palace door.
The little eunuch who was keeping watch at night showed up and took a look. He was stunned. He quickly opened the door of the palace, knelt down and saluted, "Long live the emperor!"
His voice was so loud that it immediately shocked the entire Fengqi Palace.
How long has it been since the emperor came to Fengqi Palace? The maids and eunuchs of Fengqi Palace can hardly remember it. In short, it has been a long time, and they have been frightened. Later, as time went by, the queen stayed in the palace longer and no one came.
Regardless of the interruption, the Imperial Dining Room never dared to deduct meals from Fengqi Palace. The six bureaus provided the food as soon as possible, and everything was as before, so everyone gradually felt relieved.
After all, the An family is behind the Queen. The An family has millions of soldiers and horses, which is really reassuring. As long as the An family does not fall, the Queen will not fall.
Even if His Majesty and the An family have reached a very tense situation, he will not do anything to the Queen as long as he has some scruples. Therefore, although His Majesty once clamored to abolish the Queen, he still did not. He did not even take back the Phoenix Seal, even if he supported her.
Respect the king, I have raised the status of a good concubine, and the queen is still the queen.
The doors of each palace opened together, and the maids and eunuchs came out to greet the emperor.
There was only one palace door that was closed tightly. It was the main hall of Fengqi Palace where the Queen lived. It was closed quietly without any movement.
The emperor was originally very satisfied with the attitude of everyone in Fengqi Palace kneeling down to welcome him, but now he saw that the main palace door was closed tightly, and the queen had no intention of coming out, and did not even open the door. His face suddenly turned ugly.
However, he also knew the Queen's temper. The couple had not seen each other for several months, and the last meeting was so tense. Now that he came, she refused to open the door or come out to pick him up. This was also consistent with her getting hard and cold.
Temperament.
The emperor coughed, came to the palace door, and said inside, "Queen, open the door for me."
The queen did not refuse to answer, but said very calmly through the palace door, "Why did your majesty think of Fengqi Palace today? Are you here to depose your concubine?"
The emperor choked and said stiffly, "No. I really came to see you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for thinking of me. I am very nice. You don't need to come to see me late at night. Your Majesty, please come back." The queen refused coldly.
The emperor had never humbled anyone before, but now he softened his tone and said, "Open the door. I haven't spoken to you for a long time. I have something I want to say to you."
"My concubine has read a book during the day and is very tired. It's late at night and she wants to sleep quietly. If your Majesty has anything to say, please tell her tomorrow." The queen pushed again.
The emperor didn't know what to say for a moment, or whether to go down the steps and say it tomorrow. He thought about it for a while, but he still couldn't save his face and continued to humble himself, so he complied, "Okay, let's talk tomorrow."
The Queen said "Hmm" and said, "Your Majesty, please go slowly."
I didn’t even leave the door, I didn’t see him, I didn’t even send him off. This has never happened before.
However, the emperor cannot control her now.
Therefore, the emperor had no choice but to leave Fengqi Palace again.
As the emperor walked out, the people from Fengqi Palace paid a respectful farewell, then closed the palace door tightly, and everyone went back to sleep with peace of mind. It had been peaceful for a long time, so they got up at night to take care of themselves.
Not only were people unhappy about the emperor's arrival, but they also felt upset and disturbed from their sleep.
In the bedroom, the queen heard the emperor leaving and sneered.
Aunt He whispered, "It's so late at night, I wonder how your majesty remembered to see you?"
"What else can there be? Something big must have happened, so that our good Majesty has to smile at me and compromise." The queen sneered again and again, "What do I rely on? It's just my mother's family behind me and my son.
."
Grandma He said, "That must be a good thing."
"It is a good thing for us, but not necessarily for Your Majesty." The queen yawned and waved her hands, "Go to sleep and ignore him. I have had enough of him for so many years. If I can become a monk and become a sister-in-law, I will
I wish I could become a monk and become a sister-in-law."
Aunt He was amused and said, "What childish words did the empress say? How can you get married when you have His Majesty the Seventh Prince?"
Since ancient times, I have never heard of a queen becoming a maiden.
Fengqi Palace regained its tranquility. The emperor's visit did not cause any disturbance, and he continued to fall into a deep sleep.
