good meal

Chapter 327
"At this time, I'm afraid Your Majesty will be suspicious. Anyway, there is Concubine Xiong asking for warmth, so why should I make trouble for myself." The queen said lightly, and couldn't help sneering, "But I'm afraid this time, even Concubine Xiong will not be able to please you. .”

Sure enough, within a cup of tea, it was reported that Concubine Xiong Guifei had offended Long Yan and was driven back to her bedroom to contemplate her mistakes behind closed doors.

For this kind of punishment that is neither light nor itchy, it has a different meaning in the harem. Something happened to Concubine Xiong on that end, and a nobleman came to congratulate the queen on this end.

The empress said with a look of regret: "Bengong and Concubine Xiong are as close as sisters. Now that something happened to her, I'm worried that it's too late, so why not?"

Seeing that the queen is putting on airs, the people below have to rest their minds.

Seeing that people stopped talking, the queen said again: "Speaking of which, you have been in the palace for some time, and now the Holy Lord Longyan is unhappy, and it is the time when there is no one around you."

After hearing this, the nobleman couldn't help being overjoyed, but he still remembered to be reserved and acted like he was abiding by his duty.

But in fact, the queen's heart is like a mirror, which of these noble people is not a good-looking one who gets cheap?If we really want to reach the position of Concubine Xiong, how many people can still care about her face?

But now that she has become an empress, and has a prince by her side, she is willing to stir up the muddy water in the harem, but she is not willing to be dragged into it again.Therefore, she can follow the small thoughts of the people below, and stick to them if she can. As for the troubles caused by the favor, she can turn a blind eye and never give an explanation.

Looking at it now, apart from Concubine Xiong Guifei who doesn't know what to do in the harem, isn't the rest of the people still under her control?

Thinking that the time was almost up, the queen led the entourage to the side of the holy majesty, comforting her with gentle words, and she was virtuous and virtuous.

Seeing the queen's gentle appearance, the emperor asked in a lukewarm tone: "Zitong, are you also here to beg for mercy?"

"I don't dare, I'm just worried that your majesty will be angry." Holding up the ginseng tea, the queen said to the emperor, "it's sad for your majesty to worry about the country and the people, and now you have to worry about this trivial matter in the harem. It is the mismanagement of the courtiers and concubines that annoys His Majesty."

Seeing that the queen put the responsibility on himself without saying a word, the emperor knew in his heart that what she said was not sincere, but he also felt a little comfortable.Compared with Concubine Xiong who is shrewd in everything, it is more in his liking for the empress to pretend to be confused. In addition, the Xiong family is not very honest now, so he has to act as a warning.

After taking a sip of ginseng tea, he said in a calm voice, "I can't blame you for this matter." After a pause, he asked, "What do you think about Yin Hua's matter?"

Not asking her if she knew, but directly asking her opinion, it can be seen that the emperor already knows that she is well-informed.That being the case, there is no need for the empress to pretend not to know, but she still has to deal with this issue carefully, after all Yin Hua is the Holy Majesty's younger sister, and if she says this word incorrectly, she will inevitably get upset.

After weighing it over, the queen said: "The concubine knows that Yin Hua has always been on good terms with people, but she doesn't want her to be bullied because of this. After hearing this, the concubine is also anxious, but fortunately nothing happened." chest, looking very happy.

Such an official statement certainly did not satisfy the emperor's wishes, so he simply asked bluntly: "Does the empress know who gave the Xiao family the courage to regard the royal dignity as nothing and lawlessness?"

Hearing this, the empress couldn't help beating her heart, but she didn't show anything on her face. She raised her head and frowned and asked: "The concubine also thinks it's strange. This Xiao family's bold and reckless behavior really makes people feel suspicious in every possible way."

After carefully looking at the queen's expression, the emperor waved his hand and said: "You don't need to worry about this matter. Now that the noble concubine is thinking behind closed doors, you must pay more attention to this harem."

These words are to return the power in the hands of Concubine Xiong to the queen. The queen is naturally happy, but she is not overjoyed. After expressing her determination, she sees that the emperor is impatient. Only then returned to the dormitory.

As soon as the queen left, the emperor fell into deep thought.

Now that Yin Hua is unmarried, if something like this happens again, it will have an impact on his reputation to some extent.Speaking of it, it was thanks to Princess Ning'an who came forward to save her face, and he was well aware of Ning'an's husband's situation in southern Xinjiang.

Coincidentally, Mengda also conveyed his intention to propose marriage. He also knew that the civil strife on the other side of Daxin was only a short time away. If he could follow Mengda and help him, it would not only bring him The good relations between the two countries will also let the dishonest people below know how powerful they are.

Such killing two birds with one stone, but he was still unable to make an order. After all, Yin Hua was his younger sister who grew up with him. Although there was a layer of separation between the brothers and sisters after he ascended the throne, he still couldn't bear it in his heart.

But as an emperor, he also knew that this matter was beyond his control.

What he has to consider is the interests of the world and the stability of the country.

Taking a deep breath, he slowly closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, there was already determination in his eyes: "Princess Yinhua has entered the palace."

When the eunuch who sent the message arrived at the princess' mansion, Chu Liangrao was about to leave, but because someone from the mansion came to tell that the old lady had arrived, Chu Liangrao had no choice but to go first.Now when she heard that the Holy Majesty wore Yin Hua to enter the palace, she felt a little bit in her heart, knowing that this time Yin Hua had probably predicted it.

Seeing Chu Liangrao looking at him worriedly, Yin Hua smiled indifferently, and ordered someone to see off the guests.

Chu Liangrao could only get out of the Princess Mansion, got into the carriage and rushed back to his home, when he saw the carriage parked in front of the mansion, Chu Liangrao couldn't help being stunned for a moment.The servants in this mansion are not blind, why did the old lady not know to invite her to the mansion when she came, but let the old man suffer from the cold outside?

Immediately, Chu Liangrao got out of the carriage, Shu'er and Hua'er guarding the carriage quickly saluted, and explained without her asking: "Princess, the old lady is asleep."

"Then you can't fall asleep here, what if you catch a cold?" Chu Liangrao frowned, looked at Mama Du, and motioned for her to wake up the old lady.

Shu'er hurriedly said: "The princess doesn't know something, the old lady hasn't slept well these few days, Mother Qiu said that it's rare to squint for a while at this time, and told the slaves not to wake up the old lady."

After hearing this, Chu Liangrao nodded to Mama Du and said, "No matter what, you can't let grandma rest at the door. What kind of talk is that?"

The old lady who was awakened learned that Chu Liangrao had returned, so she also got out of the carriage, and said: "It's freezing cold, and people have to be careful, but I never thought that I fell asleep."

"Grandmother has worked hard, come in and sit down." Chu Liangrao stepped forward to support her.
