Step on a branch

Chapter 56

In the imperial study room, the emperor leaned against the back of the chair, rubbing the center of his eyebrows in exhaustion.

Eunuch Xu came in from the outside, saw this, and said: "Just now, Concubine Shun sent someone a cup of sweet soup, which is still warm, would you like..."

The emperor didn't open his eyes, and said lightly: "No, just get out."

There is no need to wait inside, so Eunuch Xu can only step back as he said.

As soon as he went out, he saw a figure walking in the distance, and he took a closer look, it was Deng Guoshi.

Walking closer, Deng Guoshi said: "I have something to report to the emperor."

Eunuch Xu suppressed his voice: "The Taifu has just left, and the emperor is not in a good mood."

Hearing this, Deng Guoshi gave an incomparably mocking smile and said, "That old bastard! The emperor will cut him off one day!"

Eunuch Xu agreed deeply: "It should be cut!"

The two muttered for a while, Eunuch Xu went in to communicate, and then invited Master Deng to go in.

"What is so important?" the emperor asked.

Deng Guoshi took a step forward and said, "Poverty Taoist heard something."

"Go ahead."

"Master Liao didn't diagnose a happy pulse when Tai Hospital went to Anguo Gong's Mansion for the first time." Deng Guoshi said.

The emperor said: "I know this, the days are short, and it is inevitable that the diagnosis cannot be made."

Deng Guoshi said again: "That day, as soon as the people who came to Anguogong's mansion for consultation left, Dingguogong entered the imperial hospital and talked to Mr. Liao."

Hearing the words "Dingguo Gong", the emperor's eyes opened: "Nanzhi?"

Deng Guoshi continued: "After your inquiry, the Second Highness went out of the palace to have a drink with several young masters from Uncle Zhongqin's mansion, and had a drink in Guixianglou. When the banquet was over, he happened to meet Ding Guogong and Huang Shiwei. I said a few words to Your Highness."

The emperor frowned: "What did he persuade?"

Deng Guoshi asked Mr. Weng Ergong about it, and he finished talking about it.

Following his retelling, the emperor's face darkened little by little: "Persuasion? What I heard is all provocation! Only Qi'er is stupid!"

Deng Guoshi lowered his head and refused to answer this sentence.

"Your Majesty," Eunuch Xu respectfully persuaded, "How could Duke Ding know when Duke An's mansion will invite a doctor? Maybe it was just a coincidence, and there was no connection... Besides, why did he interfere in the marriage of His Highness the Second Highness? I am not familiar with the Duke of Anguo's mansion, and the relationship with the Marquis of Yongning is also very ordinary."

"Coincidentally, if you check it again, you will know?" The emperor raised his chin at Deng Guoshi.

Deng Guoshi responded, and said again: "The poor Taoist feels that the relationship between him and the Marquis of Yongning is not right."

"Oh?" The emperor motioned him to continue.

"Based on the friendship between Master Hou and the two Dukes of Xianding, he should care more about Duke Ding." Deng Guoshi said.

The emperor touched his bearded hand and paused.

Both were generals under the late emperor, Qin Yin and Lin Han were like brothers.

Lin Xuan was known as a child prodigy, talented as well as civil and military. Because of Lin Han, he expressed his opinions on the formation of troops when he was a teenager, and they were often adopted.

Qin Yin always said that Lin Han raised a good son.

In the second year of Emperor Xianlong's Jianlong reign, Lin Han died in battle, and Lin Xuan took command of the army.

At the beginning of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there were also voices in the court to reduce its troops, focus on internal affairs, and supplement it with recovery. It was Qin Yin who recruited several main combat factions to support Lin Xuan together, and expanded the country in the next few years. one third.

Qin Yin and the two father and son have a lifelong friendship.

The word "people take tea to cool down" does not conform to the upright Qin Yin's temperament.

He should pay more attention and support to Lin Fan.

But judging from the past few years, the two just met each other and greeted each other.

Originally, the emperor didn't think it was wrong, but now he heard Deng Guoshi mention it, and couldn't help but be taken aback.

After Deng Guoshi finished what he wanted to say, he respectfully took his leave.

The emperor dismissed Eunuch Xu, and sat alone on the big chair, silent.

The oil lamp was dimmed, and the vision was somewhat blurred.

In a trance, many people's faces flashed in front of my eyes, old and young; high-spirited and bloody...

In Shuning Palace, Concubine Shun put down her chopsticks.

Zhao Qi didn't notice it, and still used it very fragrantly.

Concubine Shun stroked her fingertips, feeling an unknown fire burning in her heart.

In the past, even if she had no appetite, as long as her son ate well and ate a lot, she would be comfortable.

Today, on the contrary, the more I look at it, the more angry I get.

The emperor decides the marriage. Ordinarily, just like what she said to Nanny Yuan that day, just judge the situation and look at the benefits in front of her. It's useless to think about other things.

But in the past two days, she has suffered a lot of jokes, both openly and secretly.

"Picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelon" sounds good among them.

Now that the wedding is imminent, Concubine Shun is really upset.

Zhao Qi, who was sitting across from him, finally reacted, knowing his mother's concubine's temper, and said: "They just hurt you, and when you hug the emperor's eldest grandson, they will be even worse."

Concubine Shun said angrily: "She is the only one who can give birth? If you marry Qin Luan, why can't Qin Luan give birth?"

Zhao Qi curled his lips: "A native chicken, can I also give you a golden phoenix?"

"Go out and ask, in this world, who else is the fate of the Phoenix?!" Concubine Shun was furious, "Native chicken? Why did I give birth to such a stupid son like you!"

"Growing up to that kind of virtue, isn't it just a chicken..." Zhao Qi finished muttering, seeing that Concubine Shun was very angry, he finally stopped talking and did not continue.

Concubine Shun stood up and left the table, not wanting to face this ugly son.

Zhao Qi resigned, leaving Concubine Shun clean.

After leaving the main hall, several maids in the corridor gathered together to talk.

Zhao Qi listened to a few words, heard the words "Miss Qin", and asked, "You said, the Empress Dowager called her in the afternoon?"

The maid nodded.

"Have you seen her?"

A little palace maid was pushed out, and she nodded timidly: "When Miss Qin left the palace, the slaves saw her."

Zhao Qi was extremely disgusted: "Then you go and talk to the concubine mother, the dusty Taoist robe is so ugly, isn't it a chicken?"

The little palace maid was courageous and said: "Miss Qin didn't wear Taoist robes today, she wore a lotus skirt and a crimson cloak, she, she looks very good..."

Seeing that Zhao Qi's expression was getting more and more wrong, the little maid shrank her neck and lowered her head, not daring to say another word.

Zhao Qi didn't make things difficult for her, and walked away with a throw of his sleeve.

No vision!
Contempt all the way, the cold wind also blows all the way.

With the palace gate close in front of him, Zhao Qi's mind also calmed down.

The most indispensable thing in the palace is beauty.

The court ladies will no longer have knowledge, nor will they be confused about beauty and ugliness.

Of course, he, Zhao Qi, would never look away, it must be because of the clothes.

People rely on clothes.

The native chicken is wrapped in golden feathers and pretends to be a phoenix.

What is the use?

After pulling out the golden feather, isn't it dusty?

Three days later, Zhao Qi married Jin Shu'er.

The red lights of Duke Anguo's mansion were hung high, and the doors and windows were pasted with joy, but Mrs. Shizi's smile was extremely reluctant. The eldest daughter did not come back to watch the ceremony, the youngest son was detained by the nanny in the house, and Mrs. Anguogong's face was sullen from beginning to end. No joy.

The only one who was happy was Jin Shu'er.

She is really happy.

Gorgeous wedding dress and sedan chair, a satisfied husband.

With her hands on her stomach, she smiled smugly.
