There is a black lotus in the deep palace

126 Shame
"I just got the news that my father has secretly escorted the criminals to the capital. Soon, we will have a good show."

The corners of Xia Houjue's lips curled slightly, and he was in a very good mood.

"How do you know?" Tang Wanning was a little surprised. Normally, this kind of news should be very confidential.

"Why can't Gu know?" Xia Houjue said frivolously with thick eyebrows.

"Or do you think that the queen can really cover the sky with one hand?"

"That's right!" Tang Wanning nodded her head.

This guy didn't love his mother or his father since he was a child. If he didn't save some resources for himself, he might die.

"Then how are you sure that the emperor will punish the queen severely?" Tang Wanning wondered.

After all, his emperor's father is really confused. It would be polite to say that he is a fool, he is simply an old tyrant and bastard.

"I know my father is like a son, my father only has two things in his heart, the country and the beauty, the country is the first, the beauty is the second, if anyone touches these two things, the end will not be very good!" Xia Houjue's eyes slightly darkened .

Back then, his empress mother had blindly persuaded him and moved his beauties, and that's why he ended up like that.

Although the current queen didn't touch the second thing, she touched his country.

"The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. This is the iron law of the ancestors. The empress colludes with officials behind her father's back, and naturally the end will not be very good!" Xia Houjue sneered.

Of course, this is just his speculation. As for what kind of confusion the father is now, he doesn't know, so he doesn't hold out hope.

It doesn't matter whether the queen's stumble is big or small, there are more waiting for her in the future.

It's been so many years, hasn't he, he has enough patience.

Looking at his unpredictable expression, Tang Wanning felt that he was like a bored tiger. When he caught a prey, he would not eat it in a hurry, but put it in the palm of his hand and played slowly until he got tired of playing and then swallowed it in one bite.

"Is it fun?"

"Of course!" Xia Houjue's eyes showed a bit of chill.

"It's said that it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, so what if I just become a gentleman once?"

"That's right!" Tang Wanning once again expressed strong sympathy for her teammates.

Sometimes she admires Xia Houjue a lot, for being so tolerant after so many encounters, she must have such a strong heart.

If she had changed herself, she might have killed the queen early and died together.

How should I put it, it's the kind of pain that I can't bear for a second, I admire it.

……

The autumn banquet that was originally prepared has been canceled because of the failure of the queen's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

The two chatted for a while, and it was getting late, so they were going to have lunch together.

Although the food was not as rich as the Autumn Tour Banquet, it was carefully cooked by the Imperial Dining Room, and there were even a few delicate wild vegetables.

Compared with the gorgeous and luxurious imperial food in the palace, it has a different taste. Tang Wanning ate happily the whole time.

She ate very briskly, without any coercion, and Xia Houjue didn't feel aggrieved at all. The two of them were talking and laughing, and it was rare for them to be happy.

This side is happy, but the Queen's side is not too happy.

To be exact, very unhappy.

A large table full of lunch was placed in front of her, and the queen was so angry that she couldn't take a bite.

"Didn't she say that she is very good? Didn't she say that she practiced martial arts since she was a child? Why can't she even beat the half-baked princess? Why?"

The more the queen thought about it, the more angry she became, and she couldn't get angry at her seriously injured daughter-in-law, so she had to grab her son and lose her temper.

"Mother, this... Who knew that woman from the Tang family was so powerful, and we didn't expect..." Xia Houyan was also furious.

"Didn't expect it? It's understandable that we didn't expect it, but you obviously have contact with her!" The queen gritted her teeth in hatred.

"You clearly said that you taught her archery, but she is very bad at archery! You!" The queen was half dead with anger.

"But the queen mother, her archery skills are indeed poor, and my son is right!" Xia Houyan felt baffled, and simply didn't know what went wrong.

"Then why..."

The queen was so angry that she held her chest and couldn't say a word for a long time.

"Mother, please calm down, calm down, this matter is my son's fault, please don't be angry!" Xia Houyan hurried over to calm down.

It took a long time for the queen to recover.

"This is the end of the matter!"

"You put the news out, just say that Bengong is sick, and I haven't seen anyone for the past two days, so let them move freely!" The queen felt very tired, and her whole body was weak.

"Yes!"

"You go down first, let Bengong be quiet!"

"My son retire."

After Xia Houyan left, the queen's face gradually softened, and the hatred in her eyes became more vicious.

"This bitch, she is very good at playing!"

Nanny Qi took the beauty and beat her over, and comforted her while beating her legs.

"Empress, you can't blame His Royal Highness Chen Wang for this defeat. After all, the Crown Princess is too cunning, and we underestimated her before!"

A cold light flashed in the Queen's eyes.

"It's more than just underestimating! This bitch is just like that bastard, she's full of bad things! I won't let her go, let's wait and see!"

"Your Majesty is wise!" Nanny Qi comforted softly.

"Your Majesty, your body is important, you should eat as much as you want. If you find it unpalatable, the slaves will ask the imperial chefs to make you more delicate ones!"

"I heard that there is a new kind of rouge rice from the south. The rice is exquisite and delicious. Do you want to try it?"

"Do it, do it!" The queen waved impatiently.

"Yes!"

Nanny Qi went out to give orders, and then continued to beat her legs.

……

The next two days.

On the side of the men's family, the old emperor took his ministers into the woods a few more times, and had a good time.

There are still many ministers around him who are pursuing him, and the old emperor is full of joy.

On the side of the women's family, the queen said that she was not sick, and everyone knew what was going on, so no one dared to speak more.

Everyone just stayed so quietly, no one dared to stand out.

Two days later, the emperor led the team back home, and the annual hunting conference finally came to an end.

On the way back, everyone whispered quietly when they were bored.

"The empress is too petty. Both are daughter-in-laws. You can't just be partial to one just because one is a kiss and the other is not your own!"

"That's right, anyone with a discerning eye can see that she just wants to embarrass the Crown Princess and make Princess Chen show off!"

"Isn't it?!"

"The empress was quite dignified before, why is she like this now?"

"Hi! Who knew!"

Although they said so, everyone knew the reason, and no one could guess it.

If you want people not to know, unless you do nothing yourself, how many walls in the world are impenetrable, and how many things can be hidden?

……

It was evening when we returned to the capital, and when we entered the palace, everyone dispersed after the emperor gave an order.

Tang Waning was still too tired to fall apart.

"I'm really not suitable for riding in a carriage!"

"I'm exhausted!"

"Then take the carriage with Gu next time!" Xia Houjue followed her into the Chaoluan Palace with a half-smile and a cheeky smile.
