The general's wife is pretending to be weak again

Chapter 388

The flower appreciation dinner was only halfway through when the imperial concubine was summoned by the virtuous king.

In the imperial study room, King Xian's face was so gloomy that he could sink into the water.

"Didn't Gao Tingzhi pass away, and you brought all the people you brought back to the border, why are you still retreating?" The imperial concubine was puzzled, and she couldn't believe it.

Xu Shi had never lost a battle when Li Zhao was leading the army, so the imperial concubine felt that winning a battle was as easy as trampling an ant to death.

"Gao Tingzhi is younger after all." King Xian frowned, "Those ministers mean to ask me to go to the border to stabilize the morale of the army and the people."

The imperial concubine thumped in her heart, "You didn't agree to them, did you? At this juncture, if you leave, who knows what the queen can do? I have been with her for more than ten years, no matter where she lives in peace Don't go, in fact, she must be thinking about how to avenge the prince."

"She is a woman, even if she is a queen, what else can she do? Could it be that she is looking for one of the offshoot princes and princes to replace me?" Xian Wang said disdainfully.

As long as he is still alive, those veterans will not agree.

The imperial concubine pondered: "We have to guard against it."

"Mother and concubine, I don't want to wait any longer," Xian Wang stared at the imperial concubine seriously, "Tomorrow, I will be enthroned. It doesn't matter if the enthronement ceremony is hasty, after I become the son of heaven, I can calm down the border."

The imperial concubine was so shocked that her face turned pale, she knew that day would come sooner or later.But when this day came, she was still so nervous that her hands were shaking.

"Have you made up your mind?" The imperial concubine's voice trembled slightly.

"I've been thinking about it for several years." King Xian is ambitious, and his decades of planning are not just for that moment.

"I'm afraid those ministers won't agree immediately. They had a lot of complaints about you about Mr. Huang and Princess Kangyue. Besides, they might blame you for the loss of three cities in the border. .Tomorrow...I'm afraid I should be in a hurry." The imperial concubine persuaded.

King Xian sneered, "Aren't their families still in the palace?"

The imperial concubine was startled, "Would it be..."

"Mother Concubine, you just worry too much." Xian Wang got up and put his hands on her shoulders. "When I become the emperor, I will have the final say on how the history books will be written. Anyone who dares to say otherwise is disrespectful to me." sin, I will punish his nine clans!"

The stern air between the eyebrows of the virtuous king made the imperial concubine very strange.

Xu Shi thought of assuming the throne, and the life and death of others depended on his thoughts, the virtuous king's smile turned ferocious.

The imperial concubine's heart trembled, and for the first time she was afraid of her son, she whispered: "I will listen to you."

"Thank you, Concubine Mother," Satisfied Prince Xian, "Concubine Mother, go back now and take good care of those female relatives, and wait for my news."

The imperial concubine left without saying a word.

She walked with stiff steps, not knowing how she entered the Hall of Great Harmony, and how she sat at the head of the hall.

After sitting down, she glanced at the sparsely populated seats and told the maids beside her, "Send some people to invite all the guests back. Call the people in the imperial dining room to serve some good dishes and warm some good wine." .”

"Yes."

Hearing what the imperial concubine meant, the banquet would not end in a short time, so the maids went to the palace lanterns everywhere, and flicked the wicks to make the hall brighter.

After the maid went out, not long after, the ladies who were wandering in the imperial garden and everywhere came back.

The imperial concubine hadn't breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Mrs. Qin's mother and daughter almost jumping in front of her, which shocked her greatly.

Looking at Qin Jie again, her hair was in a messy bun, and the neckline and skirt of her clothes were messy, not neat at all.

The imperial concubine could tell at a glance that she must have been wronged somewhere and sought justice from her.

The mother and daughter knelt in front of the imperial concubine, talking together, and heard the buzzing in the imperial concubine's head.

"What do you have to say, speak slowly." The imperial concubine said impatiently.

Qin Jie shut her mouth and sobbed, only listening to Mrs. Qin talking.

"My lady, please make the decision for the daughter of the minister! The daughter of the minister has been defiled by a man who doesn't know where, the empress must make the decision for the daughter of the minister, otherwise...or she will only die."

After Mrs. Qin finished speaking, she and Qin Jie cried.

The maid next to the imperial concubine bent down and whispered a few words in her ear, narrating the farce outside when the imperial concubine was away.

Hearing that Feng Rong was also involved, the imperial concubine immediately became a little dignified.

The imperial concubine asked in a deep voice: "Do you know who that man is?"

"My wife doesn't know, but my wife heard others calling him Young Master Feng," Da Furen Qin said, "My wife also heard that he seems to be the nephew of my mother, but my wife dare not speak falsely, so I ask my mother to check it out."

After she said that, she must have decided in her heart that the man who insulted Qin Jie was Feng Rong.The imperial concubine was annoyed that at this juncture, something would happen.

She told the maid beside her, "Go and see, what is Rong'er doing? If he has something to do, there's no need to call him over."

Hearing the imperial concubine's order, Mrs. Qin couldn't sit still, and even Qin Jie's crying became much louder.

Anyway, she had lost face once, so in order to marry into the Feng family as the wife of the wife, it would be okay to lose face again.

Her crying immediately attracted everyone in the hall.

Mu Qingyu looked into the distance, and could only see Qin Jie's shoulders shaking from crying.

Mu Qingqiu was still angry when he saw Feng Rong, but Guo Nian'er spoke excitedly.

"Grandmother, you don't know that Young Master Feng didn't have any clothes on when he walked out of the house," Guo Nian'er said vividly, "It's really shameless."

"Okay, okay," Mrs. Mu pulled her to her side, "You're a girl who hasn't left the cabinet, aren't you shy about saying these things?"

Guo Nian'er smiled shyly and didn't say any more.

Mu Qingyu looked towards the seat of the Lin family, and saw Lin Su lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.

Looking at the imperial concubine again, Mrs. Qin was talking excitedly.

After the imperial concubine ordered to go down, the maid brought a new batch of steaming dishes, and served each table with a jug of good wine.

Mu Qingyu thought about how she got drunk a few times before, but this time she made up her mind not to touch a little alcohol.

The ladies and ladies in the hall were eating and drinking while watching the bustle of the imperial concubine.

Hearing Mrs. Qin's agitated tone and Qin Jie's crying, my appetite improved a lot.

Right now, only the Qin family's side felt unable to lift their heads.

Qin Shu didn't know when she sat next to Mrs. Qin's third, and whispered: "Mother, we can't hold our heads up and be human after the auntie and the others make such a fuss. Why don't we separate?"

Third Mrs. Qin was shocked by Qin Shu's thoughts and remained motionless.
