The strongest peasant girl in Xiuse Jinyuan

Chapter 688 A family of hypocrites (2)
"Gu Aiqing doesn't need to say too much." Before Gu Qingyun finished speaking, he was interrupted by Emperor Chong.

Emperor Chong's gaze fell on Ling Qi, Prince Rui, secretly observing the changes in his expression.

Ling Qi secretly sneered, looked at Emperor Chong, and said with a warm smile: "Your Majesty, ten years ago, Jiangshan Sheji had nothing to do with humble ministers. Ten years later, why force it?"

"This minister has made up his mind, and for the rest of his life, he only wants to accompany Su Su to enjoy the mountains and rivers. I hope the emperor will not say any more." When he said this, his eyes were determined.

Seeing Ling Qi's determined eyes, Emperor Chong's heart became slightly less alert.

He stared at Ling Qi with a pair of deep, dark eyes from a distance of not too far, and the look of embarrassment and hesitation on his face just now gradually changed into a look of regret that seemed to be absent. After a moment of silence, he sighed and said, "Since the emperor's brother has made up his mind, he only wants to accompany the emperor's wife to indulge in the mountains and rivers, so I won't say anything more."

After talking in the imperial study room, Emperor Chongdi and Ling Qi went to the Tai'an Palace of Empress Dowager Yide together.

Not long after the morning court, Empress Fan also greeted Empress Dowager Yide in Tai'an Palace.

Ling Qi, Emperor Chong walked into the main hall and saw Empress Fan, Yan Su was talking with Empress Dowager Yide.

Empress Dowager Yide saw Ling Qi walking slowly into the hall, her expression was a little excited, she stood up with the support of Queen Fan, and wanted to walk towards Ling Qi, "Qi'er, is it really Qi'er?"

Ling Qi couldn't help seeing the excited look on Empress Dowager Yide's face, and a faint disgust flashed in his heart.

Ten years ago, this woman clearly hated him so much, hated him for occupying the position of prince, and hated him deeply, but she wanted to maintain an image of a loving mother on the surface, which was extremely disgusting.

A hint of disgust slipped across Ling Qi's heart, but he didn't show the slightest bit on his face, still smiling like a spring breeze.

He walked up to Empress Dowager Yide in a few steps, bowed in vain, and said, "I send my respects to Queen Mother."

Immediately, he looked at Empress Fan who was at the side, and said modestly: "I have seen the empress."

The moment Hou Fan saw Ling Qi, the expression on his face froze slightly, and when he heard him talking to him, he withdrew his thoughts, smiled softly, and said: "Ten years, Brother Huang, you finally woke up .”

After finishing speaking, he sighed, "Hey! In the past ten years, sister-in-law and Jing'er have worked hard. Brother Huang has regained consciousness. In the future, we must make up for sister-in-law and Jing'er."

Fan Hou had a gentle smile on his face, but there was a faint flicker of displeasure in his eyes.

Ling Qidan glanced at her, and with one glance, he took the displeasure that was well hidden in his eyes.

Hmph, he woke up safe and sound, which really gave the family a headache.

After Fan Hou finished speaking, Ling Qi didn't answer immediately, but turned his eyes to look at the silent Yan Su, smiled at her gently, and exchanged a look with her secretly.

"It's natural." After that, he answered Fan Hou's words.

Emperor Chong, Ling Qi took his seat, and after a while, there were court ladies serving tea and cakes.

Empress Dowager Yide drank half a cup of fragrant tea, slowly put down the teacup, looked at Ling Qi, then at Yan Su, and suddenly said: "Qi'er, Susu, Jing'er is not young anymore, it's time for the election It's time for the concubine."

"Look at Jing'er, there is not even a concubine Ji. How plausible is this? Now that Qi'er is awake, according to Ai's family's wishes, hurry up to give Jing'er a concubine. Double happiness comes." His eyes fell on Yan Su, "Susu, what do you think of Aijia's proposal?" His tone was a little cold.

Last time, Empress Dowager Yide personally went to ask Emperor Chong to make a decree to marry Dou Qingwan and Ling Jing, but Yan Su moved out the brocade note left by the former emperor and rejected the marriage between Dou's family and Prince Rui's mansion. When it was reported to Tai'an Palace, Empress Dowager Yide was very displeased.

After Queen Mother Yide finished speaking, Yan Su moved her lips, and was about to reply, but before she could make a sound, Ling Qi took a step ahead.

Ling Qi took a sip of tea, looked at Empress Dowager Yide, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Queen Mother, for being so concerned about Jing'er's marriage. However, the late emperor had a will. The person Jing'er marries must be chosen by Jing'er himself. Even the son-in-law doesn't need to ask more questions."

When Ling Qi mentioned the note left by the late emperor, Emperor Chong frowned slightly.

There was a trace of displeasure in his heart, and then, he quickly stretched his brows, looked at Ling Qi, and said, "Brother Emperor, the last emperor's will must not be violated, but Jing'er has reached the age of accepting a concubine. There must be no further delay."

"According to my suggestion, Jing'er can marry a side concubine first, and the main concubine can be decided by Jing'er himself. Brother Huang, what do you think?"

Empress Dowager Yide took the words of Emperor Chongdi, and said again: "The Ai family watched Qingwan girl grow up. That girl is both talented and good-looking, knowledgeable and reasonable, and she is about the same age as Jing'er. Everyone believes that the girl must know the general situation and won't care about it, so it's better to let the emperor give her a marriage."

Yan Su's face darkened slightly, obviously, she was very displeased with what Empress Dowager Yide said just now.

"Mother, Jing'er is already engaged."

"Princess Pingting's status is noble, and it is naturally inappropriate to take the position of Jing'er's side concubine."

Empress Fan, Emperor Chong, and Empress Dowager Yide were a little surprised when they heard Yan Su's words, and looked at her in surprise.

The smile on the Empress Dowager Yide's face faded a little, and she said: "Jing'er is already engaged, such a big matter, why the Ai family doesn't know, which family's daughter is it?"

"Susu and I just found out about this matter." Ling Qi replied.

"That girl is not from Shangjing. She has a good personality, is smart, and is clever. She once rescued Jing'er and has a deep affection for Jing'er. Susu and I are very satisfied."

"Forget it." Empress Dowager Yide hid the smile on her face, sighed deeply regretfully, and said, "In that case, let Jing'er bring that girl into the palace to show the Ai family another day."

"Yes, Queen Mother." Ling Qi and Yan Su said in unison.

The two stayed in Tai'an Palace for about half an hour, then got up and left the palace.

Ling Qi, as soon as Yan Su left the palace, Emperor Chong went back to the imperial study.

In the imperial study room, the scent of ambergris was burning, and Emperor Chong sat in front of the dragon table with a gloomy face, turning away all the eunuchs and maids around him.

Suddenly, the surrounding air surged, and immediately after, a man in black all over appeared in the imperial study room.

"Master, this subordinate is dereliction of duty, he deserves death." Seeing Emperor Chong's eyes darkened, his face as cold as ice, Gui Mian leaned down and knelt down on one knee in front of the dragon case.

Emperor Chong lowered his eyes and gave the ghost face a cold look.

"You really deserve to die. Prince Rui woke up and didn't notice such a big thing." While speaking, Emperor Chong was furious. With a wave of his sleeves, a gust of wind swept across, and several folds on the dragon case were blown away. It went out and hit the ghost face directly.

The ghost face knelt firmly on the ground without even frowning.

"Please punish the master."
