Queen is fearless

Chapter 90
In Shoukang Palace, the Empress Dowager sat on a soft couch and looked at King Rui with a smile. Aside from the relationship with Concubine Xing, she actually liked King Rui quite a lot.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be rambling, and wanted to choose a suitable princess for King Rui in next year's draft.

"Everything is fine in the fief? You and the side concubine have been together for a few years, why haven't you moved?"

"If you go back to the Empress Dowager, everything will be fine for the son, and the child is destined, so there is no need to rush. Besides, Brother Huang, don't be in a hurry!"

Move the emperor out. The emperor has no children yet, so he is even less anxious as a prince.

"You child, you know how to find a shield. After the new year, there will be a draft in the palace. Then I will pick you the one you like. In the coming year, Aijia will be a grandmother."

About the draft, the Queen Mother informed Concubine Xing. As for whether she told King Rui, I don't know.

"Everything is arranged by the Queen Mother." King Rui understood that he would have a concubine sooner or later, even if it wasn't this year, he wouldn't be able to escape next year.

It just so happens that he is in the capital right now, and when it comes time for the draft, he can take a look for himself and pick the one that is pleasing to the eye.

It's better than being stuffed into a princess without knowing anything.

Seeing his answer, the smile on the Empress Dowager's face deepened, "The Ai family won't keep you anymore, your concubine mother is ill, go and have a look, and come to eat with the Ai family after rest."

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, the Queen Mother asked King Rui to be sent away, and she was not worried at all about Taifei Xing.

Gu Jinzhi returned to Fengyang Palace, she was not in a hurry to call Concubine Dong and Jiang Xiuyi, but went to rest in the inner room as usual.

When King Rui arrived at Ci'an Palace, Concubine Xing would inevitably say that she was wronged, but King Rui didn't have much reaction to this.

He knows what his mother and concubine are like. Now it is no different than in the past. If he wants to do well in the harem, he has to restrain his edge.

Mother and concubine are fine, not only against the queen mother, but also often embarrassing the queen, she is just a concubine, how can she be like this?

It's no wonder that the Queen Mother is unwilling to endure and let her go to fiefdom with herself.

That's fine, after going to the fiefdom, she can do whatever she wants, as long as she doesn't go too far.

"You... You heard this, why didn't you react at all! Don't you feel sorry for your mother who was wronged?"

Seeing that he said so much, King Rui was indifferent, and Concubine Xing was very angry.

"Mother and concubine, stop making trouble, just think it is for your son, can you stop making trouble?" Although he is King Rui, the fiefdom he lives in is a very rich place within the Great Zhou Dynasty.

King Ke Rui knew that whether these things could be kept forever was just a matter of the emperor's words.

The reason why he can live in peace all the time is because he understands current affairs and satisfies the emperor.

As long as he dares to cock his tail and do what he shouldn't do, everything he has now will be lost immediately.

Concubine Xing sat on the bed and stared blankly at him, thinking that her son was here to comfort her, but what she waited for was accusations.

"You...you go! I don't want to see you now!" Originally, Concubine Xing was not very reasonable, but now that she is sick, it is even more difficult to serve her.

Every day when Haoyue came, she was cautious, and today she knew that King Rui would come, so she left early.

"Since that's the case, mother and concubine will take good care of her, and my son will come to see you when I have time." I thought King Rui would say a few soft words, but unexpectedly, he stood up and prepared to leave.

For a moment, Concubine Xing was a little dumbfounded, staring at King Rui in a daze, not knowing what to say.

King Rui raised his head, seeing her in a daze, he felt distressed, but he knew that if he wasn't tougher, the concubine mother would only make more unreasonable troubles.

They will leave after the next year. Before that, he hopes that his mother and concubine can calm down a little and don't cause any trouble.

"Mother and concubine, today is different. You are no longer the one who was favored by the first emperor in the past. The father has gone. You are now a concubine. There are empress dowagers and empresses in the harem, but you don't have the right to speak."

Sighing, even though he knew that saying this would make Dowager Xing uncomfortable, King Rui still said it.

In many cases, a slap in the face is more effective than sweet talk.

"You...you just entered Beijing, go to rest, I'm tired." I don't know if King Rui's words had an effect, but at this moment, Concubine Xing was like a deflated ball, her voice was weak.

King Rui was a little worried, and looked towards Yan Nanny, who nodded her head, signaling him to be at ease.

"The son will leave first." King Rui knew that the concubine mother needed some time to be quiet, so he bowed and left Ci'an Palace.

I had previously agreed with the emperor to drink together in the evening, and now there is still some time before evening, King Rui wanted to stroll around the palace, but was worried about which palace he would bump into.

So, he had no choice but to walk towards Longgan Palace. If possible, he could sleep in the side hall first.

Knowing that King Rui was back, Zhou Jing asked Yuan Bao to take him to the side hall, where there was a charcoal basin and an earth dragon.

This was prepared by the emperor when the empress came, and it just so happens that it can come in handy now.

After going to the side hall and having a sip of tea, King Rui was a little sleepy, so he simply went to the inner room to rest.

That night, Zhou Jing and King Rui were in Longgan Palace, planning to get drunk and never return.

After Gu Jinzhi heard about it, he sent someone to talk to Yuan Bao, and prepared soup to sober up. After all, the next day, the emperor had to go to court early.

When Yuan Bao reported to the emperor, King Rui was sitting by the side, looking at the smile on the face of the emperor's brother, he felt strange in his heart.

"Looking at the relationship between the emperor's brother and the emperor's wife, it seems to be very good." Zhou Jing's eyes were doting and satisfied, and his lips raised unconsciously, obviously happy.

As an emperor, most of the women in the harem are perfunctory, even if he loves them, it is just a formality.

Just like back then, the emperor's father loved his concubine mother, no matter how much he doted on him, in the end, concubine mother was just a concubine, and the position of crown prince was not his.

But looking at the emperor's appearance, he clearly cares about the queen.

"Your sister-in-law is very good. When you have your own princess, you will know."

Smiling and speaking, Zhou Jing looked at King Rui and raised the wine glass in his hand, "I hope that you can meet a wife like your sister-in-law in the future."

King Rui couldn't help but be surprised by Zhou Jing's words. In the heart of the emperor, the emperor's wife is not only a queen, but also a wife. It can be seen that the status of the emperor's wife in the emperor's heart is not low.

"Auspicious words from the emperor's brother." After the new year, there will be a draft, and then he will have an extra princess.

It is not bad if husband and wife can love each other.

Gu Jinzhi leaned on the soft couch, she had already eaten her dinner.

After waking up from a nap, she sent someone to call the steward of the Dianzhong Province and asked about the arrangements for the palace banquet on New Year's Eve in previous years.

Once she knew the general procedure, she would have a charter in her mind, and she would have a chart for what should be changed.

"Send someone to Concubine Dong and Jiang Xiuyi. After breakfast tomorrow, let them come to Fengyang Palace. I have something to order."
