In the Xuanming Palace, Zhao Zongheng raised his eyes and looked at Princess Chaoyang, frowned imperceptibly, and said with a bit of coolness in his tone: "What do you mean, do you want me to make Concubine Jin Liang your noble concubine?"
"Brother, the good concubine has been with Chaoyang for three years without any complaints. Even in the imperial mausoleum, she copied scriptures and prayed for the emperor every day." Princess Chaoyang looked at Zhao Zongheng and said, "Now the good concubine has returned to the palace. , If the emperor brother has no expression, wouldn’t it make the good concubine feel cold?”
"..." Zhao Zongheng's eyes narrowed slightly and he looked at Princess Chaoyang without saying a word.
In the past, it would not have been difficult to be promoted to the throne. The good concubine had no family background and had no involvement in the court. Even if he was promoted to the throne, others would think that the emperor was promoted because of Princess Chaoyang's face. And Zhao Zongheng doesn’t mind giving Princess Chaoyang this face.
But now...
Zhao Zongheng lowered his eyes and whispered: "I understand the good concubine's intention, but the promotion to the throne is not urgent."
He picked up the folder on the table and said slowly: "Since you have returned to Beijing, I feel very good that I have you to take care of my good concubine."
"Now the Queen makes the decision in the middle palace. If you have time, you can visit the Queen often." Zhao Zongheng lowered his words and looked at Princess Chaoyang and said, "This matter will be discussed later."
"But brother..." Princess Chaoyang still wanted to fight for it, but Zhao Zongheng seemed to not want to discuss it anymore.
Princess Chaoyang returned home without any illness, and she felt a little unhappy. Isn't it just a noble concubine?
Is there anything you can’t give?
As soon as Princess Chaoyang left the gate of Xuanming Hall, she saw Luo Jin carrying an extremely exquisite brocade box towards the palace. She unexpectedly felt that the brocade box looked familiar, and she immediately stepped forward to block Luo Jin.
"I have met Princess Chaoyang." Luo Jin bowed and bowed.
"What is that in your hand?" Princess Chaoyang asked, looking down at the brocade box in his hand.
"This..." Luo Jin hesitated for a moment, then leaned down and whispered: "This slave, on the order of the emperor, took the jade seal of the Kingdom of Chang."
Princess Chaoyang's face changed slightly, she was indeed right.
She frowned slightly and said: "The country of Chong has long been destroyed, and this jade seal is no longer useful. What does the emperor do with this jade seal?"
Luo Jin immediately showed a smile, lowered his head and said: "Princess, you don't know, the emperor has carved the jade seal of the Kingdom of Chong into something, and is going to send it to the queen."
"What did you say!?" Princess Chaoyang exclaimed, her face full of disbelief. Although the Chong Kingdom has been destroyed, this is the jade seal of the old country after all!
What does this mean?
If this jade seal is lost among the people, those who are willing to hold it can order the old ministers of the Chong Kingdom to reestablish the monarch and rejuvenate the Chong Kingdom!
This thing is the safest if it is placed in the hands of the Emperor of Tianqing Kingdom. She never thought that Zhao Zongheng would give such an important thing to the Queen?
Princess Chaoyang looked a little ugly. She turned around and looked at Luo Jin holding the brocade box into the palace. She couldn't help but think secretly. It seemed that she had to ask the queen what she was doing in the palace.
Shortly after Princess Chaoyang left, Si Ningchi came.
"Your Majesty, I am guilty." Si Ningchi looked at Zhao Zongheng pitifully and said, "I accidentally lost the phoenix seal."
"..." Zhao Zongheng was happy.
He didn't show any expression on his face, pretending to be very surprised: "Lost the phoenix seal?"
Si Ningchi raised his eyes and looked at Zhao Zongheng.
Pretend, you continue to pretend.
Dog Emperor!
"It's all my concubine's fault. Please forgive me, Your Majesty." Si Ningchi said with a pitiful look: "Losing the Phoenix Seal is a serious crime. Otherwise, Your Majesty..."
"Nothing." Before Si Ningchi could say anything, he immediately cut off what Si Ningchi was saying, never giving her a chance to say anything.
"If you lose it, throw it away. I will make another one for you." Zhao Zongheng coughed, picked up the jade seal of the Kingdom of Chang on the table and said, "Just in time, this thing can temporarily replace the Phoenix Seal."
Si Ningchi: "...?"
Don’t you think it’s too casual?
Si Ningchi looked at Zhao Zongheng with a suspicious look on his face, picked up the jade seal of the Kingdom of Chong and took a look at it. He found that the good-looking jade seal had been carved into the shape of a jade lion, and what was supposed to be the national seal had turned into a private seal. And what is engraved on the private seal is the name of Siningchi, with the small characters and the national emblem of Tianqing.
The queen’s private seal also contains the words Tianqingguo. Is this a private seal or a phoenix seal?
"Does the Queen like it?" Zhao Zongheng curled his lips and smiled. The jade lion had already been carved, but it had not been engraved. He just wanted to make it as a decoration and send it to the Queen.
It’s okay now, he stole the phoenix seal.
The queen needed a seal to handle the palace's accounts. Zhao Zongheng thought about it all night and ordered someone to carve out the seal. This seal could only be used by Si Ningchi, which seemed to vaguely represent the emperor's intention. She was the only one worthy of being the queen of Tianqing Kingdom.
.
It is both a private seal and a phoenix seal.
"Has the Emperor already prepared it?" Si Ningchi silently raised his eyes and looked at Zhao Zongheng and said with a smile, "Did the Emperor know that the Phoenix Seal would be lost?"
Zhao Zongheng: "..."
"I..." The words in his mouth turned over and over again, and it took me a long time to say: "I originally carved a private seal for you, don't you want it to be such a coincidence?"
Si Ningchi stared at Zhao Zongheng meaningfully, making his scalp numb.
"Really?" Si Ningchi played with the jade lion in his hand and smiled with curved lips: "Then the emperor doesn't plan to punish the concubine for losing the phoenix seal?"
"It can't be cured..."
"..."
Then Si Ningchi held the jade lion in his hands and walked away from Xuanming Hall.
This was obviously the queen who had lost her phoenix seal and came to plead guilty, which made the emperor Zhao Zongheng feel guilty. He was afraid that if the queen said that he would strictly investigate the thieves, he would be in trouble!
When Si Ningchi returned to Fengwu Palace, he heard that Princess Chaoyang had proposed to the emperor that she be promoted to a good concubine but was rejected.
"A powerless good concubine wants to be promoted to the throne!?" Su Yun cursed angrily and said: "Now among the four concubines, only the noble concubine is vacant. Does Princess Chaoyang want the emperor to make the good concubine a noble concubine?
”
"Why should she!" Su Yun was very angry. She squatted beside the bed and looked at Si Ningchi and said, "Queen, Princess Chaoyang and Liang Fei are clearly here for you. This is simply unreasonable."
"Didn't the Emperor not agree? Why are you so anxious?" Si Ningchi fiddled with the jade lion in her hand, a smile appeared in her eyes, she didn't expect that he actually took the joke seriously, and the jade seal of the Kingdom of Chang became a plaything in her hands~<
/p>
"Since Princess Chaoyang has this intention, there is no guarantee that she will not speak out again." Suyun raised her eyes and looked at Si Ningchi and said: "If Concubine Liang really becomes a noble concubine, there is no guarantee that it will not threaten your status..."
"Oh, then I will kill her."
"..."
Su Yunyan's words stopped abruptly, and she looked up at the queen with a dumbfounded expression. She looked at her empress's bright and moving smile. For a moment, she didn't know if her words were joking or not.
