In the conservatory of the side hall, the empress on the phoenix couch was silently reading a poem, her face gradually becoming ugly.
Chen Kuo and Fu Shun stood in front of the couch with their heads bowed, not even daring to make a sound.
"There is bright moonlight in front of the bed, and two pairs of shoes on the floor; on the bed..."
As soon as she read out the first two words of the last two sentences, the queen's voice stopped suddenly. The reason was that the following content was too vulgar and indecent, and she was really embarrassed to read it out in front of others.
The empress waved her hand and angrily threw out the white paper on which Chen Kuo had copied the verses, and asked angrily: "Is this really done by Chai Yan?"
Chen Kuo immediately replied respectfully: "Back to the Queen, it was indeed a man from Chaixian County who did it in the Yiren Pavilion. My servant and Fushun were both present at the time. They heard it clearly and clearly..."
As soon as Chen Kuo finished speaking, Fushun next to him also bowed and said: "Queen, just as Eunuch Chen said, when the man from Chaixian County wrote this poem, his voice was so loud that the slaves could hear every word clearly, and the people around him also heard it.
I heard it..."
The queen immediately became even more angry: "It's unreasonable. As a baron of Anping County, it's okay to hang out in brothels and brothels. He actually wrote such nonsense and obscene poems in public. It is simply insulting to gentlemen and brings disgrace to the court!"
"Queen, that's not all..." Chen Kuo said.
When the queen heard that there was something else going on, she quickly asked, "Tell me, what else happened?"
Chen Kuo did not dare to hesitate and quickly recounted what he saw and heard in the Yi Ren Pavilion last night. Fushun would nod in agreement from time to time, verifying that what Chen Kuo said was true.
"This is unreasonable, Chai Yan is trying to be lawless!" The Queen's anger instantly rose.
All that needed to be said was said. Chen Kuo and Fu did not dare to say any more. The Queen was very angry. Anyone who talks too much would be asking for trouble. Both of them understood this and had no choice but to stand in front of the couch with their heads bowed.
.
The queen was angry for a while and then said: "Thanks to the Crown Princess's intention this time, otherwise our Funing would have been foolishly kept in the dark, and I was almost deceived by his appearance!"
Chen Kuo quietly raised his head and observed the Queen's face, and then said very carefully: "Queen, I dare to say something. I think this is not a bad thing, but a good thing. Through this, I can see Chai Yan clearly earlier."
True character will save Princess Funing from getting caught up in it too much..."
The queen sighed secretly and nodded slowly, saying in a low voice: "Well, what you said is not unreasonable. Funing is still young and doesn't know how to recognize people. The choice of the consort must be decided by the emperor and me personally.
!”
Chen Kuo immediately agreed: "What the Queen said is absolutely true."
The queen asked: "Fushun, did Funing know about your visit to the Yiren Pavilion yesterday? How did she react?"
Fushun lowered his head and said: "Back to the Queen, the princess already knows what happened yesterday. When she heard this, she lost her temper and kept scolding the man from Chaixian County for being lustful and shameless, but then..."
Fushun's sudden pause made the queen a little anxious, and she said angrily: "If you have something to say, just say it, don't hesitate!"
"Yes!" Fushun still lowered his head and continued: "Then after the princess lost her temper... she was fine again, and she even laughed in the room for a while..."
When the queen heard this, she became nervous. She thought to herself why her daughter was laughing, but she was so shocked that her mind was confused.
"Don't any of you go take a look? What is Funing laughing about? Is she okay?" the queen asked hurriedly.
Fushun hurriedly shook his head: "It's okay, it's okay, please don't worry, Queen, the princess is okay. When I heard the laughter, I went to the princess to ask. The princess laughed because she thought the joke was very funny, so...
."
"A joke?" The queen didn't react for a moment: "What joke?"
Fushun didn't dare to look up: "It's just...it's that sugar doll joke..."
The queen became angry when she heard this: "This heartless girl! Fortunately she can still laugh..."
Chen Kuodao: "Queen, please calm down. The fact that the princess is smiling means that she doesn't have much love for the man from Chaixian County. She said she wanted to choose him as her consort because she probably just thought he was fun and interesting..."
The queen nodded secretly and said: "Fushun, please go back to Xuanyi Palace to serve the princess. If you have anything to do, tell me right away!"
"Slave, I obey." Fushun accepted the order.
"You all go down..."
The queen waved her hand, and Chen Kuo and Fu respectfully exited the conservatory in the side hall.
After being quiet for a while, the queen began to practice flower arranging. Perhaps because she was thinking about Funing's mood, the queen's mind could not calm down, and she even got distracted from time to time during the flower arranging process.
After finally completing the flower arrangement, the queen frowned while stepping back to examine it. After a moment, she shook her head dissatisfied and said: "What the hell? It's so ugly!"
After saying that, the queen stepped forward, picked up the scissors, and cut the work into pieces.
Putting down the scissors, the queen turned around and walked out of the palace door, and said to the maids following her: "Go to Xuanyi Palace!"
When the queen arrived at Xuanyi Palace, Princess Funing was playing shuttlecock in the palace courtyard, counting: "Fifty-two, fifty-three, fifty-four..."
Seeing the Queen's arrival, the eunuchs and maids of Xuanyi Palace hurriedly saluted and said hello. This distracted Funing, who kicked the shuttlecock the moment it fell, and the final combo count stopped at fifty.
Six strokes.
"Mother, it will be sixty soon! I have never kicked sixty times in a row..."
Funing felt it was a pity. He looked at the shuttlecock on the ground and pouted.
The queen raised her hand and waved away the eunuchs and maids in the palace. She stepped forward and took her daughter's hand and said, "Fu Ning, it's cold outside. Go inside first. Mother has something to say to you...
."
Funing didn't need to think about it to know what her mother was going to say when she came over, but it was about Chai Yan, and she had to listen, so she followed her mother into the palace.
After the mother and daughter sat down, the queen paid attention to the changes in her daughter's expression and asked softly: "Fu Ning, are you okay?"
"It's okay. If Funing is in trouble, why would he still be in the mood to play shuttlecock?" Funing answered simply and in a lively voice.
The queen observed her daughter for a while, then nodded slowly and said: "It's really okay. If you have something in your heart, don't hide it from your mother..."
"Mother, don't worry, Funing is really fine!" Funing reiterated.
The queen believed her, and said in a calm and serious tone: "Fu Ning, although Chai Yan is good in some aspects, his character is not enough. You are too childish to choose him as your consort...
....In this way, in two years' time, the Queen Mother and the Emperor will definitely select a good consort for you who is both good in character and appearance, far better than Chai Yan!"
But Fu Ning shook his head and said: "No need for the queen, Fu Ning thinks Chai Yan is quite suitable, and Fu Ning wants to choose him as his consort!"
"Ah?" The queen said anxiously at that time: "Fu Ning, you still say you are fine? Then Chai Yan...he hangs around the land of Goulan Fireworks day and night, looking like a wanderer.
You actually said you wanted to choose him?"
Funing had his own ideas and said: "Mother, although Chai Yan likes visiting brothels now, it does not mean that he will like visiting brothels in his whole life. It is the same with everything. There will always be a day when he gets tired of it!"
The Queen was confused. After a moment of confusion, she raised her hand to touch Funing's forehead and said with a dazed look on her face: "Fu Ning, aren't you crazy..."
.............
Half an hour later, the queen finally came out of the main hall of Xuanyi Palace, her face looked very ugly.
The queen called Fushun and angrily ordered: "Fushun, keep an eye on the princess. She is not allowed to go anywhere without my permission!"
After saying these words, the queen left Xuanyi Palace.
On the way back, the queen looked melancholy and remained silent. When she thought of Funing's stubbornness, she became extremely anxious!
No, we must find a way to stop Funing's thoughts!
Returning to Tai'an Palace, the Queen immediately summoned Chen Kuo and whispered: "Chen Kuo, you immediately go to the Prince's Mansion to invite the Crown Princess to see me. If anyone else asks, just say that I want to know about the Prince."
The recovery status of the wound, do you understand?"
"Queen, don't worry, I understand!" Chen Kuo responded and then retreated.
