Chapter 267 Looking at My Hometown (11)
"Ridiculous! Sangang Neijun is the leader, you are the emperor, everything you do is justified, why do you need someone to 'forgive'?" Xi He vigilantly swept the palace people standing outside the flowers, and lowered her voice , "It's your uncle, who is absolutely unforgivable. If you really can take charge of the government, once the time comes—"

"Okay, mother, you are here again, because of—" Qi Hong shook his head in a little annoyance, and the two golden tail feathers on the golden tassel spread his wings and trembled, and he also seemed to disagree, "Forget it, my son. Don't quarrel with the queen mother, but the son really doesn't want to hear the mother's slander for the emperor's uncle. There are some things that the minister shouldn't say, but if you don't say it, it will be difficult for the mother to understand the painstaking efforts of the emperor's uncle for the son. Does the empress know why Zhu Yiqing and Meng Zhongxian were suddenly demoted several ranks? Uncle Huang said that these two are ministers of the humerus, and the son will rely on him in the future. Now he will come forward to demote him. Jia En recovers, so that the two of them will remember the grace of my son. Uncle Huang has promised me that next year at the latest, after my son is a little familiar with government affairs, he will completely retire from the field, thoroughly, thoroughly, Bottom, bottom."

Xihe sneered heavily, "Hmph, I see that you have suffered for so many years in vain, you don't even have a long memory, and you actually believe the nonsense of that rebellious person."

Qi Hong raised his eyebrows, and his expression changed, "I have suffered for so many years in vain, all because I didn't believe in the emperor at the beginning! This lesson, I will never forget it."

All of a sudden, both mother and son put on tiger faces and froze there.

At this time, I saw an eunuch in a flying fish men's suit in front of the table take two steps forward, his face raised, pale as the moonlight and charming.Qiao Yun's eyebrows were full of emotion, and he persuaded in a low voice: "Queen Mother, be careful to stir up old diseases of liver qi."

These words were just a step, and Qi Hong slowed down his tone, "Mother, don't get angry."

"How can I not be angry? Seeing that my only son and I are at odds with each other, he is so confused." Although he scolded, Xihe's complexion relaxed a lot, and changed into a sad look, "You are a child. What do you know? Let me tell you, your uncle is not human at all, he—"

"Mother!" Qi Hong stood up and said mercilessly, "I am no longer a child's family. I don't need my mother to hang down the curtain to teach me what is right and what is wrong. I have my own eyes." Go and see, I'm afraid I can see more clearly outside the curtain than my mother inside the curtain. From now on, if my mother slanders the emperor's uncle in front of me again, I will never step into the Palace of Compassion and Ning Half a step. You are not joking!"

The tone was very blunt, it was almost contradictory, it made Xihe speechless, but even forgot to be angry.It was still Qiao Yunze, who called out unhurriedly: "Quanfu, why don't you move the incense burner closer soon? Queen Mother, don't get excited, take a few deep breaths of this Ningyuan incense, and calm down. Pain is the most likely to cause blood to churn and cause liver disease."

On Qi Hong's Tise dragon robe, there are dense gold threads embroidered with needles, which are swaying against the sun, like a pond full of broken gold.He sighed, and knelt down in front of Xi He, "Queen Mother, it's my son's disobedience that made you angry, please don't force my son to do more unfilial things, okay?"

At this moment, Xihe felt that she was getting old, she felt like a grain of chaff that had been dried by the years and no longer had any weight.Nodding lightly, she looked away.

Only then did Qi Hong smile kindly, revealing the dimples on his cheeks, and Yun Dongying said, "Queen Mother, the emperor said that I will host the Double Ninth Ceremony in September this year alone. This is the first time I have appeared since I recovered." In front of all the officials, you must be energetic. Taking advantage of these last two months, I want to make myself fatter, and the queen mother asks the small kitchen to get me more delicious food."

How can mother and child have overnight feud?Xihe laughed "puchi", waved the handkerchief, and drove away a little bee that fell on the jade jug, "You still say that you are not a child? Luckily, you heard what the emperor said? Immediately give orders and call Quickly prepare the Emperor's favorite food of Ganoderma lucidum wild duck, stewed squab with chrysanthemum, steamed perch with peacock, and stewed pork tendon with sea cucumber, oh, grouper liver, mussel and shrimp roe soup, and bird's nest shredded chicken soup .”

Qiao Yun, who had been guarding the corner all the time, listened to and responded, gave Xihe a dark look with a smile, and turned away.

The one who stayed at the place to serve the banquet was Quan Fu, who was in a daze, not knowing what to think about.Xi He yelled twice, and then he rushed to bully himself to add more wine, who knew he was timid, and spilled a large amount of wine.Xi He raised her hand and gave him a pat on the face, with overflowing disgust, "I see you are becoming more and more useless, like a singed cat."

Quan Fu covered his face and mouthed "Damn", Xi He threw away the handkerchief in his hand, and the tassels mixed with gold beads hanging on the corner of the handkerchief hung on the corner of the table, allowing the autumn wind to fiddle with it.

"Okay, get up."

Quan Fu kowtowed and got up, his forehead full of ashes.In front, Qiao Yun strode back, his slender figure was as elegant as a fairy.Quan Fu drooped his eyelids in shame, wishing he could close his ears too.Qiao Yun said some kind of joke, which amused both the queen mother and the emperor.Xi He pointed at his nose with a smile, and turned his face to Qi Hong, "In the past two years, this slave can still make me laugh. Hey, it's a pity, you said that such a person is only offended by a little thing. Your uncle, you have been turned into the person who is neither human nor ghost today—"

"Mother!" Qi Hong immediately changed his face and interrupted her coldly.

Being old, Xihe finally accepted that she was indeed old in front of her son.So she smiled lovingly like a forgetful old man, "Oh, it's easy to talk about it, I won't talk about it in the future. Come on, Hong'er, don't mention those bad things, my mother and I have done this."

Xi He smiled and picked up her golden cup and drank it down.When he raised his head, he was dazzled by the bright sun, like the sharp light of a dagger unsheathed.Her hatred is so great that even the lost and regained flesh and blood and the lost and regained freedom can't be smoothed away; just like this old face, no matter what you use, it can't be smoothed away.But there will always be something, like a handful of jewels held in the hands of an old court lady, that can bring some cold and gorgeous comfort to her hatred-this horrible-faced hatred.

Xi He swallowed the wine in her throat, the orbicularis muscle in her right eye twitched, and smiled coolly.

6.
There is no rest, and the night is in full swing.There is no breath, and Xiaoxia is congealed.

The sun shines through the curtains and directly shines on the eyes, as if adding a layer of gorgeous tassels to the eyelashes.Qingtian covered his brows with the back of his hand, and let out a sleepy "huh".

Yingzhi leaned slightly outside the bed, calling softly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty? Wake up. Eunuch Zhou is here and says he has something urgent to do."

Zhou Dun was used to going in and out of the inner curtain, Qingtian didn't avoid it, so he only wore a smoked lotus root silk jacket and a jade green gauze skirt, and while he was dressing, he was seen in the dressing room.After asking a few words, I couldn't help being deeply surprised, "So urgent?"

Zhou Dun laughed, and said straight away: "My lord said that the empress is five months pregnant, and it is becoming more and more difficult to conceal it every day. Besides, there are too many people coming and going in the Beifu. Why don't you move out quietly while taking advantage of the convenience of action for a while. The master found a house for the empress in Jing'er Hutong in Dongdan, quiet in the middle of the noise. The empress has been wronged for the past few months, avoiding eyes and waiting for the birth in peace. Today is On an auspicious day, the empress will tidy up a bit, and the servant will pick you up here. There are ready-made ones over there for everything you wear. If there is anything missing, ask someone to come back and get it for the empress. Turning around, I only let out a word, saying that the empress has always followed the prince all these years. I went to Jingjizhuang to escape the summer heat, but this year because of the "happy" concubine Zhan, the prince stayed in Beijing and often stayed overnight in the palace, so the empress ran to the countryside to cool off by herself. It is not the first time that the empress dared to quarrel with the prince By the way, people outside will not be suspicious."

Qingtian twirled a purple gold step shaker and compared it to the hair bun, his wrists were as bright as jade, "Yo, he arranged the arrangements for me quite well, why didn't he say that he has recruited a new twenty-eight beauty, so I'm jealous ran away?"

Zhou Dun covered his mouth, "The lord has already said it, and the empress will definitely talk about him for the rest of her life."

Qingtian also laughed, threw away Bu Yao, picked a hibiscus hairpin from the flower plate and put it on his sideburns, "The prince has arranged everything, I just follow his orders. Yingzhi, just watch and clean it up for me, since I'm going Those who live in a secluded place and don’t see anyone, don’t need to bring anything extra, just the ones you use every day. Oh, I asked them to put the colors of the pens in the study on for me.”

After everything was ready, Qingtian also had a meal and took the anti-fetal medicine, then got into a soft sedan chair and walked slowly from Shichahai to Dongdan.The mansion is at the innermost part of Jing'er Hutong, and no pedestrians are allowed at the entrance. Although the layout is not as good as that of Beifu, it is still majestic, like the official residence of a high-ranking official.The sedan chair entered the door, and instead of getting off the sedan chair in the sedan hall, it went straight through several courtyards to the garden in the backyard.It turns out that there is a very wide pond in this garden, with willow shadow painting bridge, fish jumping to the east of Xiaolian, and a very delicate painting boat moored beside the pond.Qingtian laughed puzzledly at this moment, "What are you doing here?"

Zhou Dun stretched out his hand and took her to board the boat, "Your Majesty will follow the slaves."

At this time, the setting sun was low and the clouds were setting in the water and the sky. The boat covered the rays of light and broke through the clear waves. It walked along the water, bypassed a field of reeds, and stopped in front of a small hall by the water.Ten levels of stone platforms go deep into the blue waves, with towering bamboos and upside-down radish on it. There are only three small houses. There is a red lacquered bamboo curtain hung on the front door. ".

Zhou Dun helped Qingtian up the stone steps, raised the curtain, and pushed open the door, "My lady, please come in." With a smile in his eyes, he gently closed the door behind her.
