king's concubine

Chapter 188
Now that I saw the palace of Ying Kingdom for the first time, Rong Huazheng was still amazed. Luxurious and beautiful, it is the most beautiful and noble ancient building that Rong Huazheng has ever seen. It is more gray-red and gorgeous than the palace in every court drama I have seen before!
After entering the palace, they went straight to Qionghua Hall.

Qionghua Hall is a place specially set up for royal people to discuss and gather.

When they arrived, Rong Huazheng found that many people had already arrived there.

As soon as they saw them coming, those people turned their heads one after another, and many of them had smiles on their faces, and they came forward to say hello, "Second brother and sister-in-law, are you here?"

Yu Wencan glanced at Yu Wenlin and Yu Wenguang who greeted him, hummed, and said calmly, "Why are you all here today?"

Yu Wenlin shrugged and shook his head, "I don't know, I received a letter sent by my father early this morning, so I came here in a hurry."

"Maybe there is something urgent." Yu Wenguang said.

"Urgent matter?" Yu Wenlin frowned, "What's the urgent matter on the second day of the Lunar New Year?" According to the usual practice, during the four days from New Year's Eve to the third day of the Lunar New Year in the Kingdom of Ying, the officials did not have to go to court to discuss matters, and the royal family also No exception, there is a banquet on New Year's Eve, a family feast at the beginning of the year, and two days after that, I arrange to visit relatives and friends on my own, but I didn't expect to be called here by an imperial decree on the second day of the first day of this year.

"Maybe only Father knows." Yu Wenguang said lightly.

"Yo, Can'er is finally here." Ever since the two of them entered the room, the queen had been sipping tea gracefully and waiting for Yu Wencan and the others to salute her, but they didn't seem to notice her at all. He didn't even give her a straight look.

The queen was originally very displeased with Yu Wencan's absence on New Year's Eve and Lunar New Year's Day, but now that she was ignored again, she couldn't help but speak first.

The queen used the word "finally", and she deliberately emphasized the tone when she said it, which only added a sense of irony to her ears, which made people very uncomfortable.

Yu Wencan had always been indifferent to people, but now his gaze was even more indifferent, and he didn't even pay attention to it, the empress was so angry that her teeth itch!

Rong Huazheng looked at the people present, the four royal princes, the crown prince and concubine, and the empress, except for the emperor and empress dowager, all who should come have come.But, isn't everyone here yet? Is the queen in power to bully others or is she deliberately finding fault?
No one said anything, but Yu Wencan!
Rong Huazheng's complexion suddenly changed, and her lips were tightly pursed.

The queen saw it, and said with a faint smile: "Why, Princess Gongjin doesn't look very well, but what's wrong with you?"

Rong Huazheng glanced at the queen, and said calmly: "Heard some unpleasant words early in the morning, and I really can't feel comfortable."

Rong Huazheng's words were very direct, the queen paused for a moment, and the smile on her face remained unchanged, "It's only the second day of the new year this year, and it's a good time this early in the morning, and others only pick good things to say, why did Princess Gongjin hear that? Good word?"

Seeing that she was pretending to be confused, Rong Huazheng didn't bother to pay attention to her, and pushed Yu Wencan aside.

Rong Huazheng's reaction made the queen's face drop all of a sudden, her complexion was very ugly, and she secretly regretted why she assigned such a sharp-tongued, ignorant, and bold girl to Yu Wencan, if she had known that she would rather be cheaper than Yu Wen Be nicer, give him someone with a higher status, and save yourself from being so angry now!

The crown prince looked at the empress so angry that his face turned pale, he squinted his phoenix eyes and wanted to confront Rong Huazheng, he took a sip of tea calmly and asked with a gentle smile, "Queen mother, how does this tea feel?"

The crown prince and side concubine pursed her lips, and the fingertips holding the beautifully colored cup turned white.

When the queen heard Aiko speak, her complexion improved a little, she raised her eyebrows, took a sip of tea and then smiled, intentionally or unintentionally, she said in a voice that everyone could hear: "For three years, there have been emperors, you The emperor is careful and filial to arrange the arrangement, so this tea is naturally more suitable to my taste than those in those years."

There were not many people present, and Rong Huazheng and the others had no desire to speak. Yu Wenlin and Yu Wenguang were still talking, but when they heard the words, they stopped for a moment, and they looked around without a trace out of the corner of their eyes. Yu Wencan is going here.

Yu Wencan looked as usual, but usually he loves tea very much, but now the tea in front of him has not moved at all.

The crown prince and side concubine smiled, took a sip of tea, and said to the queen with a smile: "The empress mother is right, although the concubine entered the door late and had never tasted the tea from the previous few years, this cup of tea happens to be the concubine's tea." I love Silver Lake tea."

Ugh……

Yu Wenlin and Yu Wenguang sighed secretly, looking a little helpless.

The prince listened, and glanced at the prince's side concubine lightly, and then did not speak again.

Although Rong Huazheng didn't know the deep meaning in the words of the empress and the prince's side concubine, but the empress mentioned the word three years and she immediately became vigilant, subconsciously looked at Yu Wencan, although he was expressionless, she still couldn't help it Get closer to him.

Because Yu Wencan ignored them, the queen's one-man show could not continue soon, and after a while, the emperor also came in, and the discussion began.

As soon as the emperor came in, he got straight to the point, "Although today is not the time to talk about state affairs, but I went to Longyan Temple to delay some things a year ago. I saw the secret edict two days ago before I knew that the prince of Yasukuni will receive it after the Lantern Festival. The envoys came to visit our country of Ying."

"Prince Yasukuni is coming?" Yu Wenlin was taken aback. "A few days ago, it was rumored that he wanted to kill his father and seize the throne. Could it be that he wants to win over my country, Ying, to help him succeed?"

"No." Yu Wenzhai shook his head, and gently said to Yu Wenlin who didn't understand state affairs: "The eldest prince is the destined heir, and Yasukuni counts him as the most ambitious and capable."

The queen laughed inwardly that Yu Wenlin didn't understand state affairs, but she couldn't help frowning and said, "Your Majesty, why did Prince Jingguo choose to come here at this time?"

"I will let people find out the reason quickly." The emperor said indifferently, "I asked you to come here because I have something to do."

In fact, what the emperor ordered the four princes to do was not a big deal, but later he said something meaningful, "Princess Jiahua will also come here this time."

Hearing the words "Princess Jiahua", everyone had different expressions on their faces, and they all couldn't help frowning, but Yu Wenlin was even more exaggerated, hugging his arms and scratching, looking like he couldn't avoid it. Rong Huazheng was puzzled, and secretly thought that after returning home, she must read some books to find out how many countries there are in this world and what the situation is like, and then ask Yu Wencan about the current situation in the world.

Rong Huazheng didn't know what kind of country Yasukuni was, but the person she met at Longyan Temple was Prince Jing, right?

Rong Huazheng's mind was spinning, but she was not allowed to think about it again. After the emperor ordered some things again, he said: "Everyone should leave, Can'er and Prince Gongjin stay here."

Rong Huazheng's nerves were raised all of a sudden, but the queen's heart tightened, and she frowned first and said: "Your Majesty, if there is anything else, everyone is here, we can't discuss it together..."

"Queen, you also go first." The emperor said expressionlessly.

The queen was a bit reconciled, but the emperor's complexion was not very good at the moment, so she gritted her teeth and went out.

After everyone left, the emperor pursed his lips and said straight to the point: "Princess Gongjin, do you know why I asked you to stay here?"

She is not the roundworm in his belly, how do you know?

"Since that day, the Empress Dowager has been ill."

Rong Hua Zheng spread out his hands, a smile appeared on the corner of his lips, "Dare to ask the emperor, what's wrong with the empress dowager?"

"After that day, the empress dowager had a high fever for a whole day in Longyan Temple, and the high fever did not subside on the way back. The high fever subsided a few days ago, but her body has not recovered, and she was groggy."

Rong Huazheng quietly let the emperor finish, and then said calmly: "Your Majesty, if I remember correctly, it was the Empress Dowager's hand that I hurt. What does her high fever have to do with me?"

"Princess Gongjin, you also know medical skills, don't pretend to be confused here!" The emperor said coldly: "The imperial doctor said that the empress dowager's high fever was caused by a severe wrist injury!"

too heavy?If she remembers correctly, she didn't actually break the empress dowager's wrist, her wrist was just dislocated, and it would be so serious that it would cause a high fever?
However, Rong Huazheng didn't want to explain this point, she spread her hands and said, "So, what does the emperor want me to do?"

The emperor frowned at Rong Huazheng's attitude, and said in a deep voice: "Although the empress dowager is over [-] years old, her body has always been strong, and she rarely suffers from any kind of illness. I have been ill for ten days

It's still not healed, it must be because of the persistent depression in the chest, this matter was caused by you in the final analysis, if..."

Rong Huazheng interrupted the emperor, "Your Majesty, it is true that I am responsible for this matter, but has your Majesty ever heard of self-inflicted evil?"

"Presumptuous!" As the Ninth Five-Year Lord, no one dared to interrupt my words so arrogantly, the emperor's face sank all of a sudden, Rong Huazheng's last words added fuel to the flames, and the emperor's seven orifices smoked !

"The empress dowager is sick now, you don't feel any guilt at all, but you even insulted her, it's outrageous!"

Rong Huazheng pursed her lips and said mockingly: "Your Majesty, everyone in this world has different opinions. Because the Empress Dowager is the Empress Dowager, she has a noble status, while I am just a mere fourth-rank official girl, and I am of course lowly born."

After finishing speaking, he looked straight at the emperor and said: "But this is what you think. In my eyes, everyone in this world is equal. The only thing to distinguish is good and evil. The empress dowager told me The bad words came first, and you still want to kill me, should I just stand there and not fight back when I curse or hit me?"

When Rong Huazheng heard that 'everyone is of the same level', she burst into anger, and couldn't listen to Rong Huazheng's last sentence, "It's absurd, absurd! As a royal, he would say such outrageous things." , Respectful to the princess, do you know that the crime of contempt for the imperial power... deserves to be punished!"
