Chapter 197 Intercession
"Yes." The Queen Mother responded and nodded.

Qi Yan and the palace attendants in the palace all knelt down and saluted Feng Chenghan.

"Sit down." After saying that, Feng Chenghan walked to the sandalwood chair on the right side of the Queen Mother and sat down.

"Pass the meal around!" the Queen Mother said to Aunt Cui who was standing up.

"Yes." Aunt Cui bowed her head and left, going to pass on the meal.

The palace maid served tea, and Qi Yan took the tea from a small tray and placed it on the high table next to Feng Chenghan.

"Cousin Emperor, please have some tea." Qi Yan's voice was a little softer than usual, and her round and bright eyes were also a little shy.

Feng Chenghan nodded, without even raising his eyelids, let alone touching the tea.

Seeing that the emperor's cousin didn't even look at her, Qi Yan looked disappointed and returned to stand beside the Queen Mother.

She didn't understand that in terms of appearance and family background, she was hundreds of times better than the concubines in the harem, but the emperor's cousin just didn't want to make her his queen.She was his biological cousin, and his father was his biological uncle, so it was most appropriate to make her his queen.

If someone else is chosen as a queen, other people's families may be like Leng Tianming, using their daughter as queen to increase their power, form cliques for personal gain, and plot evil, but their Qi family will never do this.

If she is made the queen, her father will help the emperor's cousin in the previous dynasty, and she and the queen mother's aunt will help manage the harem, and the emperor's cousin will be able to sit back and relax.

In Qi Yan's eyes, her father was a loyal, filial, benevolent and important minister of the country, so she didn't understand why Feng Chenghan was unwilling to make her his queen.

It took some time to pass on the food, so the Queen Mother chatted with Feng Chenghan.

"The Ai family heard that the emperor demoted Lan Bin's position?"

"Yes." Fengcheng said coldly, "That Lanbi was disrespectful to me and even framed someone in front of me, so I gave her a small punishment."

The Queen Mother smiled and said: "Why did the Ai family hear people say that the emperor punished Concubine Lan just for neglecting Luoyue!"

Feng Chenghan sneered and said: "Leng Luoyue is not so big-faced. It was Lan Bin who insulted Xiaomao'er. I am Xiaomao'er's biological father. Isn't she just scolding me when she scolded Xiaomao'er? Lan Bi wanted to put me down She acted like a fool and falsely accused Leng Luoyue in front of me, so naturally I can't spare her."

Hearing this, Qi Yan exhaled a breath of turbid air and felt a lot more comfortable.Great, the emperor's cousin didn't punish Lan Bin for neglecting that bitch.

"I see." The Queen Mother nodded and did not continue the topic. "Has Your Majesty heard about your cousin Qi Ji?"

Feng Chenghan lowered his eyelids to block the sarcasm in his eyes. When the people in Yunxiang Palace sent him a message, he said that the purpose of the queen mother's asking him to come to dinner was that she wanted to intercede with Qi Ji.

"I heard about it." Feng Chenghan frowned and said angrily, "Qi Ji is so arrogant and arrogant that he actually said in court that his father is the King of Chang'an, one of his cousins ​​is the emperor, the other is the prince, and his aunt is the queen mother. Who dares to punish him?"

"..." The corners of the Queen Mother's eyes twitched, as if she shouldn't have asked this.

Feng Chenghan continued: "The emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people when he breaks the law, let alone a small and accomplished prince of Chang'an? If he says this, what will the people think of me and my queen? The people will think that it is because I and my queen are together. Only by supporting him from behind can he dare to be so lawless. No matter what he does, I and the Queen Mother will protect him."

"..." The Queen Mother didn't know how to express this feeling for Qi Ji.If she had said that, wouldn't she have agreed to the emperor's words and been protecting Qi Ji?Seeing that the emperor's cousin was so angry when he mentioned her elder brother, Qi Yan secretly hated her brother for embarrassing her, and hurriedly said to Fengcheng Han: "Brother was also anxious for a moment, so he said these bastard words unscrupulously, please don't be angry, emperor's cousin. Don’t be acquainted with him.”

Her brother can be said to be the top dandy in the imperial city. He is neither talented nor virtuous, and he always knows how to cause trouble.If it hadn't been for her brother's several accidents, others would not have called their Chang'an Palace a liar, nor would they have called her a fake lucky star.She hated her brother who would only embarrass her and hold her back if she mentioned it.

But even so, she still had to plead for her brother, because how could the queen have a brother who was in prison?

Today, her father also told her to intercede with her brother in front of the emperor's cousin.

"Brother, he is a bit of a bastard, but the Chang'an Palace has already compensated those people, and he has also received fifty blows. Yan'er believes that brother must have known that he was wrong, and he also asks the emperor's cousin to forgive him. Come back."

Fengcheng Hanfeng narrowed his eyes and asked sternly: "Spare? How?"

Qi Yan's heart trembled and she quickly lowered her head, "Just, he will be spared from jail."

Although the emperor's cousin was cold and aloof, and looked intimidating every time he narrowed his cold phoenix eyes, she still liked him because she liked this kind of emperor's cousin.

The Queen Mother also spoke up: "Yan'er is right. Your cousin was punished and he knew he was wrong. The emperor then issued an order to let Jing Zhaoyin release him!"

Qi Ji had been sentenced by Jing Zhaoyin and imprisoned in prison. No one in this world except the emperor could make him get out of prison early.

"Mother, do you know what you are talking about?" Feng Chenghan frowned and looked at the Queen Mother and asked, his expression clearly said: "How can you say this as the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother felt very uncomfortable when he looked at her. He looked at her as if she had said something ridiculous and she was just asking him to let his biological cousin go.

In the past, Leng Tianming's son killed someone, and the late emperor ordered him to be released!Although someone died in Qi Ji's case, he didn't kill that person, he jumped into the river himself.As an emperor, it is nothing if you forgive your loved ones for minor sins.

"Of course the Ai family knows." The Queen Mother said without confidence.

Feng Chenghan looked disappointed and said: "Qi Ji said such words in the court, and today the King of Chang'an was impeached by the ministers in the court because of those words he said. I Ruoruo listened to my mother's words. , to forgive Qi Ji is to ignore the laws of Tianyuan. The emperor legislates, but ignores the laws, then who in this world will abide by the laws?"

"How can the people still trust me as a king? How can they respect my mother, the Queen Mother, who is the mother of all the people?"

"Sorry..." The Queen Mother was stunned by the question. At the same time, she was a little angry and felt chest tightness and headache.She just asked him to order Qi Ji to be released, and he just made such nonsense.

What else is there to say, how can the people respect her, the Queen Mother, who is the mother of the world?Why, she asked him to let Qi Ji go, so doesn't she deserve the respect of the people?The more the Queen Mother thought about it, the angrier she became, and her head began to hurt more and more. She raised her hand to rest on her forehead.

"Aunt, are you okay?" Qi Yan noticed something was wrong with her and hurriedly asked with concern.

"Ouch..." the Queen Mother cried softly, her eyes closed with a look of pain on her face. "I have a headache."

She finally knew why she didn't like this son, because his heart was too hard, harder than a stone.Not to mention being soft-hearted towards his cousin, he would not be soft-hearted towards his biological brother, and it would be useless for anyone to intercede.When she begged him so much, he didn't let Ye'er go.

She would agree to her brother today because she had forgotten that this eldest son was stone-hearted, no, not stone-hearted, but heartless. Feng Chenghan was a heartless person.
