Wangfu little dumb wife

Chapter 710
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Emperor Guangxi ordered the organization of the first hunting event of this year. On the grounds that "the harem cannot be left alone to preside over the overall situation", Empress Qi was retained, and on the grounds that "the third prince needs to be taken care of when he is young", Qing was retained. Concubine, in addition, several concubines such as Concubine De, Concubine Xian, and Concubine Duan were ordered to accompany Shengjia.

When she heard that she was named to stay, Empress Qi's heart was half cold.

She knew that the incident at the third prince's full moon banquet left a knot in Emperor Guangxi's heart.

Although for more than half a year, he would come to Kunning Palace on time every first and fifteenth day of the new year, but there didn't seem to be any topics to talk about between the two of them. The sense of distance between the same bed and different dreams made Empress Qi feel a sense of crisis.

She knew that Bai Yueguang in Emperor Guangxi's heart was Concubine Duan, even if Concubine Duan's natal family had committed such a serious crime as assassinating the prince, that woman had not received any other substantive punishment except for being demoted to one level.

She thought that she was a queen and had a son who was the heir apparent, even if Emperor Guangxi didn't like her, at least he would let her live in a big way.

However, being named and staying in the palace this time was like a resounding slap, allowing Empress Qi to see clearly the gap between herself and Concubine Duan.

She didn't restrain herself from crying and questioning Emperor Guangxi, she sat very quietly in Kunning Palace without saying a word.

Jing Zhe looked very worried, "Niang Niang, I'm afraid that Eunuch Cui has passed on the wrong order, why don't the slaves go out to inquire again?"

"No need." Empress Qi raised her hand to stop it, her voice was surprisingly calm.

This made Jing Zhe feel even more uneasy.

Taking advantage of Empress Qi's unpreparedness, she asked a little maid to go to the East Palace to find Father-in-law Sanbao and ask Father-in-law Sanbao to tell the prince about the situation of the empress.

Zhao Xi also just learned that Empress Qi was left in the palace. When the little maid's words came in through Eunuch Sanbao, he was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "How is the queen mother?"

Eunuch Sanbao shook his head, "I heard from the people over there that it's a bit abnormal."

Zhao Xi frowned imperceptibly, changed into a normal uniform and went to Kunning Palace.

Empress Qi was sitting in the inner hall cooking tea, when she saw Zhao Xilai, she smiled slightly and waved to him, "Xi'er, come here quickly."

Zhao Xi walked over and sat down according to his words, his eyes paused for a moment on Empress Qi's face.

Empress Qi raised her hand to pour tea soup into an enamel teacup, and pushed it in front of him, "Have you tried your mother's progress in tea art?"

Zhao Xi withdrew his gaze, took a sip from the tea bowl, was silent for a long time, and said: "My son heard that the father ordered the queen mother to stay in the palace."

"There are too many women in the harem." Empress Qi lowered her eyes and poured herself a glass, "Last month, Xing Zhaoyi was murdered and suffered from a miscarriage. You should have heard about it. As the lord of the Six Palaces, It is my responsibility to find a way to prevent similar things from happening again, this time hunting, at least ten days and a half months before I can come back, if there is no me in the harem, what kind of chaos will it be?"

As if he didn't expect Empress Qi to say such sensible words, Zhao Xi's eyes flashed with surprise.

"What about you?" After Empress Qi finished talking about herself, she turned the topic to Zhao Xi, "Have you been implicated by your mother because of the third prince's full moon banquet?"

Zhao Xi shook his head, "Father's attitude towards his ministers is acceptable."

Acceptable.

That's what it means to be lukewarm.

Empress Qi looked at the handsome and extraordinary son in front of her, and sighed slightly in her heart.

If she was liked by the emperor, he would always miss her, and Xi'er wouldn't have to go through so many detours. From childhood to adulthood, others only saw his excellence, but never thought about how much he suffered because of not being favored.

Gathering her thoughts, Empress Qi said: "Xi'er's riding and shooting skills are second to none among the young masters in the capital. Don't let your father down when you go hunting this time."

"My son knows." Zhao Xi nodded, and said: "If you can't accompany you to the hunting garden, you don't have to regret your mother, there will always be opportunities in the future."

Empress Qi nodded.

Zhao Xi thought of one thing, "When I went to Jiangnan, I promised Miss Xue that I would do everything possible to protect Concubine Qing and the third prince. Most of the time, I can't get my hands on the matters of the harem. I'm afraid I'll have to bother my mother a lot." Some effort."

Speaking of Concubine Qing and the third prince Zhao Huan, Empress Qi couldn't help but think of the day of the full moon banquet.

Although no one dared to criticize her because Emperor Guangxi didn't make a statement afterwards, it doesn't mean that this matter can be easily turned over.

Zhao Xi saw Empress Qi's expression and knew that she remembered the palace banquet half a year ago.

In fact, he asked someone to investigate that matter, and it was secretly done by the palace maid next to Concubine Duan.

The reason why he didn't tell Empress Qi was because Zhao Xi knew his biological mother too well and knew that she was impulsive. Once she found out that it was related to Concubine Duan, he would definitely try his best to get revenge.

He doesn't want to scare the snake yet, after all, what he wants to deal with is not Concubine Duan, but the Yang family behind Concubine Duan.

Zhao Xi sat for a while, and said: "There are two maids in Erchen Palace who are very clever. If the Queen Mother doesn't mind, I will let them come to Kunning Palace to serve you later."

Empress Qi said: "Last time I brought Nianchun and Xiudong back, I already have enough people here."

After finishing speaking, thinking of his son's filial piety, he changed his words again, "But since you trained it yourself, it doesn't matter if you send it over."

Hua Nu and Yue Nu were trained by the hidden guards of the East Palace by Zhao Xi. Although they don't know martial arts, their insight, acuity and adaptability are higher than ordinary people. With those two staying by Empress Qi, Zhao Xi can feel at ease and follow Guangxi. The emperor went to the Royal Hunting Garden.

-

Song Wei and his wife were both invited for this hunt.

Song Wei is a civil servant and doesn't know how to ride and shoot. Song Yuanbao is the only one his family can show.

Song Yuanbao originally wanted to stay at home to study, but considering that Zhao Xi would definitely go, he had a few academic questions he wanted to ask him, so he could only pack up his things and keep up.

When setting off, Song Wei did not ride in the carriage with Wen Wan, and rode outside alone. Song Yuanbao also rode, and Jin Bao sat in front of him, looking excited.

In the carriage were Wen Wan and Song Qi.

For this kind of hunting occasion, the young masters of the family are indispensable.

Wen Wan also considered that Song Qi was already 13 years old, and it was time to reach the age to discuss marriage, so when Song Qi proposed to follow, she did not refuse.

The emperor's march was very grand, and the guard of honor could not be seen at a glance, followed by the guard of honor of the prince. Zhao Xi sat on the soft seat, looking outside in a daze.

At this time, a voice suddenly came from the side, "Your Highness."

Zhao Xi turned his head and saw that Song Yuanbao sneaked into the prince's guard of honor without knowing when, and there was a little fellow sitting on the horseback.

"Why are you here?" Zhao Xi asked.

Song Yuanbao chuckled, "I heard you came, so I came here."

As he spoke, he took a careful look at Zhao Xi, "I haven't seen you for a while, how is your Highness?"

Zhao Xi only replied two words, "I'm fine."

"Miss Qi's matter didn't affect you, did it?" Song Yuanbao asked again.

Zhao Xi: "It's okay."

Song Yuanbao: "..."

Song Yuanbao felt that Zhao Xi had changed and became more taciturn than before.

I don't know if it's because he has become more mature with age, or because of the death of Pan Qiu last year, there is a gap between them.

In short, we can never regain the tacit understanding that we talked about at the beginning.

The helplessness of growing up together, having their own lives and never going back, made Song Yuanbaojue, an always optimistic person, feel unprecedented sadness.

The words he wanted to ask Zhao Xi were all stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say a word, so he could only smile narrowly, and then asked Jinbao to call him uncle.

After that, Song Yuanbao rode his horse to join Song Wei.

On the way, Jin Bao asked him, "Didn't my brother say that he wanted to ask uncle questions, why didn't he ask?"

Song Yuanbao didn't answer, but just rubbed his little head.

　Dear friends, "Little Dumb Wife" will not be updated for a while, I will send a leave announcement later, I hope you can understand
