Seeing that the queen is so favored by the emperor, how can she sit still?
"Concubine Rong, Concubine Yuan, stay!" When Concubine Rong was approaching the entrance of Yu'an Palace, a young eunuch chased after her, and it turned out that he was from Yuning Palace.
Concubine Rong looked back and finally showed a comfortable smile.
In Fengwu Palace, Si Ningchi was standing in the courtyard with a smile on his face. Wang Chengxiang was holding a golden cage in his hand. Inside, a bird with colorful feathers was chirping happily. The bird's feathers were shining in the sunlight.
It shines with a faint luster and is particularly beautiful.
"Look at the Queen, the old man got a bird today and presented it to the Emperor. When the Emperor saw it, he asked his servants to bring the bird to the Queen." Wang Chengxiang said with a smile: "Look at the bird.
How lively?”
"The Emperor is interested." Si Ningchi squinted his eyes and teased the bird with a bright smile.
"The emperor asked the servant to bring a message to the empress. I am busy with court affairs today and will not come to Fengwu Palace for dinner." Wang Chengxiang handed the cage to Su Yongde and then said: "The emperor said that the empress was wronged yesterday. In the past few days,
Let this bird accompany the emperor for the emperor."
Si Ningchi raised his eyebrows: "Although this bird is good, it cannot compare with the emperor."
She hummed softly, looked down at Wang Chengxiang and said, "I am not a stingy person. How could I be angry with the Emperor over such a trivial matter?"
When Wang Chengxiang heard this, he immediately smiled and praised the empress, and then happily returned to the Xuanming Palace to find the emperor's return.
There was a loud noise in Xuanming Hall, and the tea bowl was smashed on the ground. Several ministers in the hall were frightened and raised their robes and knelt down, touching their heads to the ground and not daring to raise their heads.
"In such a murder case, do you still need me to teach you how to decide!?" Zhao Zongheng's angry voice sounded, and the people kneeling in the hall were even more silent. There was sweat on their foreheads, and he stumbled and said: "Your Majesty, forgive me.
A humble minister is incompetent."
"It's just..." Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment said boldly: "Sun Xiuyuan is involved, the Prime Minister..."
"Sun Ruiming taught a good son. It's a blessing from God that I don't punish him!" Zhao Zongheng sat beside the dragon table, staring at the Minister of Punishment with a heavy look in his eyes and said coldly: "If you give or receive privately with a married woman, he still has
Are you making trouble in front of me?"
"You bastard! Get out!" Zhao Zongheng was so angry that he picked up the memorial on the table again. The Minister of the Ministry of Punishment didn't dare to say anything. He almost covered his head and crawled out.
I can't help but feel regret in my heart. I should have never come to the palace if I had known earlier.
I originally thought that the emperor always valued the Prime Minister's Palace, and Concubine Rong was also well-known in the palace. For the sake of Concubine Rong, the emperor would not punish her severely, right?
The Minister of Punishment did not dare to offend the Prime Minister, but he could not neglect his errand, so he had the courage to ask for an audience with the Emperor, and then received this scolding, which made his heart almost burst out of his chest.
Wang Chengxiang bumped into the Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice who came out, and he quickly leaned over to greet him.
He looked at the disgraced look of the Minister of Punishment, and then thought about how he could hear the emperor's rage through the door just now, and for a moment he didn't know whether he should go in or not.
"What are you doing sneaking out? Why don't you come in." Just as Wang Chengxiang was about to get out of the way, he heard the voice of the emperor in the palace. Wang Chengxiang looked shocked and quickly lowered his head and entered.
"Your Majesty..." Wang Chengxiang bowed and called carefully.
Zhao Zongheng glanced at Wang Chengxiang, raised his hand to drink tea, but found that the tea bowl on the table had been smashed by him, and he quietly retracted his hand.
He stared at Wang Chengxiang with a sullen face and said, "Did you send the things to the queen?"
Wang Chengxiang responded quickly: "Yes, the Queen is smiling happily and loves that bird very much."
Zhao Zongheng's face softened, and his tone seemed to have softened a bit as well. He hummed lightly and continued to ask: "The queen didn't say anything else?"
Wang Chengxiang thought about it carefully and said with a shy smile: "The Queen said that although the bird is good, it is not as good as the Emperor's. I think the Queen is looking forward to the Emperor visiting Fengwu Palace more often."
Walking around."
"Really?" Zhao Zongheng's eyes brightened slightly, and there was a faint smile on his lips.
"The Queen has said so, what else can it mean?" Wang Chengxiang had such an expression on his face.
"Humph." Zhao Zongheng looked happy, but he covered it up for a moment and said calmly: "I am the emperor, how can I play in the harem all day long?"
Zhao Zongheng rubbed his knees with his fingers, raised his chin and said, "Okay, just send the things. Let's get a pot of tea."
"Yes, yes, I will go immediately." Wang Chengxiang stepped back in response. When he walked to the door, he saw Luo Jin coming in a hurry. The little eunuch almost bumped into Wang Chengxiang and quickly took a step back: "Master."
"Why are you so frizzy?" Wang Chengxiang grabbed Luo Jin who was about to enter, dragged him outside the palace and whispered: "The emperor is very angry. He has just calmed down, so don't get into trouble." "Ah?" Luo Jin was a little nervous and said in a low voice: "Someone came from Ci'an Palace, saying that the Queen Mother is making trouble to see the emperor."
"Why is that good guy making such a fuss?" Wang Chengxiang suddenly had a headache when he heard this.
"My servant doesn't know either. He said the Queen Mother is ill." Luo Jin said with a bitter look on his face. There was nothing he could do.
"If you are sick, please call the imperial doctor. Why are you looking for the emperor?" Wang Chengxiang stared. He has been with the emperor for so long, but the emperor has no good impression of the Queen Mother at all. If he goes in at this time, he will be beaten.
But since people are coming to Ci'an Palace, they can't just sit back and ignore them.
Wang Chengxiang frowned and turned around, and quickly grabbed Luo Jin and said: "You go to Fengwu Palace first and ask the Queen to come forward."
"I'm here to talk to the emperor." Wang Chengxiang ordered. Luo Jin naturally obeyed his master's words and quickly agreed and left.
In Fengwu Palace, Suyun and others praised the bird with smiles and compliments. Who would have thought that the bird was so dangerous yesterday? They thought something big was going to happen, but they didn't expect that things would turn around and the Queen would be able to coax the emperor.
Not to mention having to stay overnight in Fengwu Palace, I was given such a precious reward today!
Si Ningchi fiddled with the feed and said with a smile: "Don't get carried away. Whatever happened to Fengwu Palace yesterday, other palaces must have heard the news."
"What are you afraid of? Now that you are favored by the emperor, my dear wife, they don't dare to be presumptuous." Si Ningchi shook his head: "There may be no movement on the surface, but secretly there must have been a clique."
"Empress, Eunuch Luo Jinluo is outside asking for an audience." Yue Gui hurriedly entered and bowed to Siningchi.
"Luo Jin? Is he the apprentice led by General Manager Wang?" Si Ningchi raised his eyebrows: "Invite people in."
"My slave, I would like to pay my respects to the Queen." Luo Jin is not as respectable as Wang Chengxiang, so he has to bow down to the Queen when he sees her.
