Chapter 199 Double Happiness
The imperial palace in the capital, on the way to Fengqi Palace, the noon sun shines on the white square.A group of people walked hastily on the fine snow all over the ground.

"Hurry up, you slaves are so slow, I'm really anxious." Although Concubine De, who was sitting on the chariot, reprimanded the maid, she still had a smile on her face, "Don't delay the meal between me and Your Majesty."

Concubine De was in a good mood, and the accompanying maids were not as well-behaved as usual, and talked a lot.

This one said: "Empress Defei, the road is slippery in the snow. If you walk too fast and fall on you, the servants will not be able to take care of you."

The one said: "Empress Concubine De, I heard a large group of magpies chirping outside the window this morning, and I guessed that the empress must have a happy event, but I didn't expect it to be double happiness."

The court ladies chattered like magpies, picking up what Concubine De wanted to hear.

His Majesty actually wants to summon Empress De and the Second Prince in Fengqi Palace today.Moreover, Wu Mingzi, the commander of the guards who came to proclaim the decree, did not say anything clearly, only said that there was a happy event.

As for the happy event, Wu Mingzi didn't say anything, everyone can guess it.

What kind of place is Fengqi Palace? Only the queen is eligible to live there.Since the death of Queen Pei, the palace has been empty.Everyone is guessing who will be the master.Many people guessed that it was the virtuous concubine Mei Dai, after all Mei Dai fascinated Emperor Yongde.

Mei Dai is so favored, she has never entered Fengqi Palace.It can be seen that the only person who can go there is the queen.

In fact, a woman like Mei Dai is at most relying on her beauty to please His Majesty, how can she compare to the nobleness of Empress De Fei.If Mei Dai is allowed to be the queen, she is not worthy at all.

Looking at it now, His Majesty summoned the Empress Concubine De in Fengqi Palace, definitely intending to make Concubine De the empress.In addition, the second prince is called, and it is likely to make the second prince the crown prince.Now that the empresses are concubines, the position of the crown prince is of course determined.

Standing as a queen, standing as a reserve, this is not what Double Happiness is.

"Oh, I can't say for sure." Concubine De turned her head to look in the mirror carefully, and saw that her hair was not combed properly, and a strand of hair was hanging down.

If it was normal, she would have called the palace maid to reprimand her.Now that she is in a good mood, she doesn't care about these servants anymore. She carefully manages it and asks: "Is the second prince here yet?"

The maid holding the mirror said: "Empress Defei, the Second Prince is still on his way back."

"It's okay, I will go to have dinner with His Majesty first."

After Concubine De finished speaking, she straightened her appearance in the mirror and saw a thin line on her forehead, so she pressed her finger on the skin and pushed it up.

Men, it's normal to be distracted when you see a young beauty.But after being together day and night for a few months, even the most beautiful face gets tired of it.In the end, only a concubine like myself who loyally follows His Majesty can be appreciated.Besides, the second prince has been assisting the government for many years, and it will be a matter of time before he becomes the crown prince.

No matter which one she gets, she will be happy.Unexpectedly, both came suddenly.

What a stroke of luck.

When the position is stabilized, the vixen, Mei Dai, will be the first to be attacked.It's not enough to kill her, but at least she has to be taught a lesson to let her know the fate of monopolizing the king's favor.

A group of people hurried to Fengqi Palace, and saw that the entrance of Fengqi Palace had been cleaned.After entering the palace gate, even the snow inside has been cleaned.

Concubine De looked at this place like a master, full of ambition.This is where I will live in the future.

Speaking of it, Fengqi Palace is not as luxurious as her own palace, it can be called simple, Empress Pei is not a extravagant person.

But here is a status symbol, a symbol of a nation.No matter how other palaces are decorated, it cannot match.

When they came to the main hall, the drums and music rang together, and Emperor Yongde stood on the steps outside the door to greet him.

Concubine De was flattered and hurriedly said to the maid: "Stop quickly."

I didn't expect His Majesty to come out to greet her in person, which really values ​​her too much.

She was so moved that her nose was sour.Before Emperor Yongde left him in the cold, and caused her unhappiness by hanging out with the concubine Mei Dai all day long, she immediately threw it somewhere.

After getting off the chariot, Concubine De stepped quickly to Emperor Yongde and bowed down: "I have seen Your Majesty in person."

"Aifei, please get up." Emperor Yongde stretched out his hand to grab her with a smile, and raised his eyes to look into the motorcade, "Didn't the Second Prince come with Aifei?"

Concubine De smiled and said: "On the way, I am afraid that His Majesty will wait, so I came first."

"Alright, come in with me." Emperor Yongde took Concubine De's hand and walked into the hall, "I'm waiting for my concubine to come and have dinner together."

The hall was as warm as spring, and two tables of dishes were placed in the center.Steaming hot and fragrant.There are musicians playing music below.

Emperor Yongde sat down and said to Concubine De: "Look, Concubine Ai. The main dish on this table is specially made by the imperial chef for you."

A palace maid came over and lifted the heat preservation cover for Concubine De.

Concubine De was surprised and delighted when she saw it, and said to Emperor Yongde: "Unexpectedly, Your Majesty still remembers my concubine's favorite dishes."

"Of course, I still remember that your mother's home is in the south of Jingzhou, and people there like spicy food. I asked you to buy chili from Jingzhou."

The two had a meal together, and on the way, Emperor Yongde ordered the musician and the maid to leave: "I want to drink alone with my concubine, you all should leave first."

After everyone left, Emperor Yongde picked up the flagon and poured a glass of wine, and came to Concubine De: "My concubine, please drink this wine."

Concubine De smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I can't drink too much, if I drink too much I may lose my dignity in front of Your Majesty."

"Just this one glass." Emperor Yongde did not withdraw the wine glass, "I have been a little bit cold towards my concubine these past few months, and I feel guilty. This glass of wine is for my apology."

Concubine De didn't dare to refuse, so she had to take it and drink it.

Emperor Yongde saw that she had drunk, returned to his original position and sat down, and said to Concubine De: "My concubine, I want to reconcile with Zhuo'er. I wonder what my concubine thinks?"

Concubine De was taken aback, put down the wine cup and said, "Why did Your Majesty say that?"

Emperor Yongde wanted to hunt down Xiao Zhuo before, but now he suddenly changed his mind.Make her at a loss.

Emperor Yongde looked towards the main hall and said, "I have lost my queen, and I don't want to lose Zhuo'er again."

Concubine De said: "Your Majesty wants to re-establish Xiao Zhuo as the crown prince?"

"That's what I mean." Emperor Yongde nodded, "I have sent a secret decree to Zhuo'er."

Concubine De did not know how to answer for a moment.

She came here full of joy, but she didn't expect to get a sap head-on, which made her dizzy, and she couldn't even sit still, and began to shake.

"Then why did Your Majesty come here to announce my concubine?" She supported the edge of the table with her hands and shook her head vigorously.

Why does this wine make her so uncomfortable.

"If you want to re-establish Zhuo'er as the crown prince, you must first rehabilitate him. Those who falsely accused him of framing him must of course be eliminated," Emperor Yongde's voice began to sound far away in her ears, "If Zhuo'er comes back to confront him , things are bound to get out of hand."

"Can't... can't clean it up?" Concubine De's eyes dimmed, and the dishes on the table turned into countless shadows, "But... this is what your majesty told me...you made me..."

"That's right, I ordered you to do it. So I will never let Zhuo'er know all this." Emperor Yongde said lightly, "I hope my concubine will stop this matter for me, as long as I don't tell... No one will ever know."

Concubine De's consciousness began to become blurred, and she suddenly felt something hot flowing from her nostrils.She reached out to wipe it, and wiped the blood all over her hand.

It is poisoned wine.

She knocked over the table, lay on the ground and struggled to crawl towards Emperor Yongde, stretched out her hand and said: "Your Majesty... I won't say anything, I will never say it... Hurry up and save me."

"No, only the dead can keep secrets."

These were the last words she heard.

Emperor Yongde looked down at Concubine De's raised hand and fell to the ground, standing there speechless for a long time.

When the dishes on the table are as cold as ice, and De Fei on the ground is also as cold as ice.Wu Mingzi's voice sounded in the empty hall:
"Your Majesty, this humble minister is incompetent. The second prince may have heard the news and has fled the capital. The minister failed to catch him."

"It's okay." Emperor Yongde waved his hand, making Wu Mingzi step down, and slowly walked into the apse.

"Concubine De is dead, this matter can be concealed forever," Emperor Yongde smiled, "Maybe the second prince will go to Jingzhou? Maybe Concubine De's mother clan will raise troops... It doesn't matter, Zhen It doesn’t matter if Zhuo’er is here, haha.”
