Chapter 157

"Hey...the emperor is really kind to King Xiaoyao, and the palace that was supposed to be our empress was given to him to live in.

"King Xiaoyao is really a blessed man, to have such a good brother as the emperor.

"Since ancient times, there has been no dynasty or generation where brothers have fought each other, and blood has been broken, even if they are siblings of the same mother.

"Our emperor is different, brother and friend respectful, really harmonious."

Concubine Qi was lukewarm, mocking as she walked.

"Concubine Qi, I see that you are becoming more and more outrageous!" the queen sternly reprimanded.

Obviously, Concubine Qi wasn't afraid of her, instead she got even worse:
"Hey, the empress is holding back in front of the emperor, and she is angry at us?"

"Empress, the ninth princess is not feeling well, so I will take her back to rest, and I will come to say hello to the empress later."

Concubine Xi said politely.

The queen nodded: "Go, it's a tiring journey, let the imperial doctor show the princess, don't get sick."

Concubine Xi: "Thank you, Empress, for your compassion."

She comes from the Gu family, one of the five great families. She has been in the palace for many years and only has one daughter.

In these years, he has kept his own law and order, and never surpassed it.

The emperor likes it, and so does the queen.

As the emperor's youngest princess, Princess Nine is naturally favored.

No one has an opinion on this.

After all, no matter how much a princess is favored, she still has to marry someone, which does not pose any threat to the throne.

Therefore, this concubine Xi can be regarded as the one who lived the most relaxed life in the harem.

The queen withdrew her gaze, stopped paying attention to Concubine Qi who was deliberately provocative, and led her own people to her palace.

These palaces are not named, and they are arranged in order of East First Palace, East Second Palace, etc.

The Queen's residence is naturally the East First Palace.

Compared with the palace, it is definitely incomparable, but it is not too bad.
-
When I first arrived here, I was not in a hurry to hunt.

At night, everyone who came here this time had to go to the Zichen Hall where the emperor was to have dinner.

Qian Ling changed her red body into bright yellow clothes, and put on a bun suitable for girls of her age.

Insert a few pearl hairpins for embellishment, simple but not simple, and match with the clothes, complement each other, just right.

She followed Mrs. Wang and arrived neither too early nor too late, and walked directly to the corresponding position and sat down.

But for a moment, apart from the heads of the five great families and the empress, the fourth concubine and all the princes had also arrived.

Concubine Qi saw Qian Ling at a glance, she raised her eyes proudly, and said slowly in front of all civil and military officials:
"I haven't seen Princess Xiangrui for a while, and she looks more and more radiant."

Qian Ling stood up, saluted politely, and then responded:
"The last time I met Concubine Qi, I still remember it vividly.

"Your Majesty is sympathetic, I left the courtiers to drink tea in your palace, and did not leave the palace until night, so that the courtiers could escape the pain of the sun.

"The courtier overheard a sentence by chance: The moon is dark and the wind is high to kill people on the night.

"Thinking about it now, it is quite consistent with the scene of that day.

"My daughter knows that you are a kind person, ma'am, but you never thought that you would do something bad with your kind intentions.

"Now that this matter has passed, but the minister's daughter is still worried and frightened."

Hearing her unhurried words, Concubine Qi's heart suddenly sank.

Obviously flattering, but the people present are not fools.

Isn't this just to say, if you hadn't kept me until night, why would I have been assassinated?

What's more, they would guess that the killer was sent by her.

What an auspicious princess!
"You mean to say that I sent someone to kill you?"

Qian Ling smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, you're worrying too much, what the minister says is just as she says, there is no deep meaning.

"The assassination was purely accidental, presumably the other party just took advantage of this opportunity.

"Furthermore, my lady, you are a smart person, if this happens, then you will be the number one suspect.

"So I believe that this is definitely not what you did."

She didn't intend to bring up the old matter on such an occasion, but this concubine Qi wanted to send it to her door herself.

Even so, it's out of her hands.

"Assassination?"

The queen's voice suddenly resounded in the hall, and the whispered discussions stopped abruptly.

Concubine Qi's angry words were suppressed before she could utter them.

After the words fell, the empress walked in front, the patriarch of the aristocratic family followed, and a group of people came out from the side.

The head of the aristocratic family took his seat, and the others respectfully saluted the emperor and queen.

Xia Feng: "Sit down."

After he sat down, all the ministers sat back one after another.

"Princess, the palace and the emperor have listened to what you just said, did the Sunrise Palace really encounter an assassination?"

The queen looked at the bright yellow figure gently.

Qian Ling replied politely: "Every sentence of the empress's words is true, there is absolutely no falsehood."

"It's a pity that you have suffered such a calamity for no reason." The queen showed pity, "At the beginning, my palace should have sent you out of the palace earlier."

Qian Ling: "The fate of a minister is great. With such a twists and turns, there is nothing I can do to win me."

Queen: "You are a blessed child, stop standing, sit and talk."

Qian Ling: "Thank you, Empress."

Her words and deeds, and every action are very well-behaved, unlike the soft-spoken confrontation with Concubine Qi just now, but there are secrets everywhere.

She just wants to live a good life, and she doesn't have the ambition to change the rules and regulations here.

Do as the Romans do, as long as she doesn't deliberately provoke her, she will naturally abide by the rules she should abide by.

"Prime Minister, the assassination of the princess is such a big matter that you didn't even mention it."

Xia Feng's words seemed to be about accountability, but in reality there was no sense of blame in it.

Everyone knew these things well, but they didn't expect them to be brought up to the surface.

Now that it has started, the play has to go on well.

Qian Chengzhi stood up, with a respectful expression: "Report to the Emperor.

"At that time, King Xiaoyao was seriously ill, and the emperor was already worried.

"I don't want the emperor to add any more worries, so I concealed it and didn't report it.

"I dare not extravagantly ask the emperor to forgive me, please punish me."

"Okay." Xia Feng said with a serious face, "I let you say all the good and bad things, so why should I punish you?

"You think of me in every word and every word, and I understand Aiqing's heart.

"But the princess was also raised by me. No matter what happens, don't hide it from me."

Qian Chengzhi: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compassion, and I obey the order."

Xia Feng: "Sit down."

As everyone knows, his words confirmed the speculation in everyone's mind.

If you thought it was just a joke he said casually on the way here, then at this moment, everyone feels that maybe it is not.

Although Princess Xiangrui was personally appointed by the emperor, from the beginning to the end, he never mentioned half of it on such occasions.

The current situation is thought-provoking.

If it's just speculation right now, then the emperor's next behavior can be explained clearly.

Xia Feng looked at Xia Ze who was sitting on the lower side:
"The sixth prince is already fourteen, and he knows Piwan all day long, so someone should take care of it."
