back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 674
Good things don't go out, bad things pass thousands of miles.

The matter of Lu Chengqi's "angrily reprimanding" Concubine Shu has spread throughout the entire palace in just one day, reaching the ears of Zunci Empress Dowager Liu.

Concubine Shu is the empress dowager Zunci's favorite person, and she was scolded by the emperor. This is a new thing, doesn't it mean that the emperor and the empress dowager are at odds?No matter how indifferent the Empress Dowager Liu was, she couldn't sit still at this moment, and sent someone to summon Lu Chengqi to find out what was going on.

Lu Chengqi was very depressed, didn't he just beat and beat Jinxuan, the queen mother came out to intercede for her, what did Jinxuan think?With such a strong backing, wouldn't she act recklessly in the future, no one can say anything about it, no one can control her?In this case, what is the difference between her and Zhou Zhiruo? Who is the queen, and who is the ruler of the harem?
Inside the palace, Lu Chengqi's news is still well-informed.As soon as the Empress Dowager Zunci sent someone to summon her, Lu Chengqi knew what was going on.On the way to Jingfu Hall, Lu Chengqi thought a lot, thinking about how to explain to Mrs. Liu that this was not aimed at anyone, but to establish Zhou Zhiruo's authority.For a queen, if a concubine rides on her head, there will be a big problem.

When he came to Jingfu Hall, he saw Jinxuan's attendant waiting outside, so Lu Chengqi knew that it was a trick of the "Three Trial Trials"!Hmph, it seems that this Jinxuan really has a skill, to coax the Zunci Empress Dowager to speak for her like this!

But who is Lu Chengqi?When you are the emperor and hold great power, have you ever been afraid of anyone?He respected the Liu family only out of filial piety.But his filial piety is not stupid filial piety, he will listen to what is reasonable, and he will definitely fight for it if it is unreasonable.Having figured this out, Lu Chengqi ignored those court ladies and walked straight into Jingfu Hall.

Following Gao Hao's voice, "The emperor is here", the maids in Jingfu Hall said in unison: "See Your Majesty!"

Lu Chengqi waved his hand and told them to step back before stepping into the inner hall.As soon as she entered the inner hall, she saw Jinxuan hiding behind Mrs. Liu like an angry daughter-in-law, beating her shoulders for Mrs. Liu, not daring to look at Lu Chengqi.After Zhou Zhiruo's reminder, Lu Chengqi already knew that this Jinxuan was the best at acting, probably Liu Shi had already convinced her.

"Sure enough, it's not a fuel-efficient lamp!"

Lu Chengqi murmured in his heart, ignored her, but bowed to Mrs. Liu, and said: "My son pays homage to the queen mother, and I respectfully greet her."

Mrs. Liu was originally enjoying Jinxuan's service with her eyes closed, but when she heard Lu Chengqi's voice, she slowly opened her eyes and said with a smile: "My son is here? Come, come, sit down, and talk to the old man, why not?" My son got into a fight with Concubine Shu after only a few days?"

Lu Chengqi looked at Jinxuan's head, lowered it even lower, and sneered in his heart, but said: "Mother, who did you listen to this matter? Chewing your tongue is going to kill you. I am the Son of Heaven, how can I Arguing with the concubine?" He has been immersed in politics for a long time, and his words have been impeccable.It is true that Lu Chengqi did not quarrel with Jinxuan, because he always reprimanded him condescendingly and did not give Jinxuan any chance to defend himself. Where did he quarrel?
Who is Mrs. Liu, and she knew what she meant when she heard these words. She sighed, reached out and touched Jinxuan's hand, and said slowly: "The way of husband and wife is to treat each other with respect. , it won’t work after all. As I get older, I just want to be able to hold my grandson in my arms one day, so that I won’t leave with hatred..."

Lu Chengqi quickly said: "Don't say that, my mother, my mother is lucky, she will definitely live a long life."

"It's an extravagant hope for an old man to live another 20 years. My son shouldn't talk about longevity." Liu sighed, "Jinxuan is a good girl and has a good temper. If you offend my son, I will I just need to worry more about it. There is a lot of noise, and everyone knows about it, so what's the face of the Tian family?"

Lu Chengqi didn't answer, but Jinxuan spoke: "Empress Dowager, Your Majesty is right, my concubine is..."

Mrs. Liu interrupted her and comforted her: "Silly boy, you have grievances in your heart, how can you not know? My son, you are the emperor and a good man. There is nothing wrong with correcting your husband. But you have to have a degree in everything. It’s not good after that.”

Lu Chengqi nodded silently, but there was a sneer in his heart: "It's so clever that you are mistaken by cleverness, Jinxuan, you rely on the Queen Mother and want to make me submit, don't you want to think about who I am? Come on! This is the most annoying thing about men. They want to use other people to suppress me and force me to submit? I really don’t know the heights of heaven and earth, and I don’t know how much I have! I just reluctantly accepted you as a concubine, if you don't know what to do, you will have your share in the cold palace!"

Thinking of this, Lu Chengqi's eyes suddenly flashed.Mrs. Liu is also experienced in personnel affairs, knowing that it is impossible for Lu Chengqi to listen to her, she sighed in her heart: "This twisted melon is really not sweet! Could it be that these two are really enemies in previous lives?"

Adhering to the concept of "it is better to teach people to beat children than to divide wives", Mrs. Liu said a lot of words earnestly, and even asked Jinxuan to bow her head and admit her mistake, and Lu Chengqi's face turned better.

In fact, after this incident, Liu Shi also understood that Lu Chengqi was very assertive.It would be difficult to put pressure on him.The only thing left to do is to look at Jinxuan herself, this is the only thing Liu can say about the matter between the husband and wife.She is a person who understands everyone, knowing that if she continues to speak, the little emperor should turn his face.Lu Chengqi was able to sit here quietly and listen to her persuasion, but it was just giving her a little favor.In fact, with Lu Chengqi's strength, there is no need to suffer this anger here.Seeing this clearly, Mrs. Liu couldn't say anything more, so she asked Lu Chengqi to leave under the pretext of chanting scriptures.

Lu Chengqi walked out of the inner hall and glanced at Jinxuan.After eye contact, Jinxuan's face was full of panic, and she almost collapsed on the couch.

It was only after hearing Gao Hao's voice, "The emperor arose", that Jinxuan began to sob.

"Silly girl, why are you crying!" Madam Liu took pity on her and comforted her.

Jinxuan sobbed, choked up and said: "Queen Mother, Your Majesty should hate me to the bone this time..."

"Well, it sounds like I'm making my own decisions, and it's hurting you..." Mrs. Liu felt a little bit uneasy, so she could only resort to a trick: "I can see that my son hates this kind of practice the most. But you don't have to be discouraged, As long as you obey the Queen's orders, do your duty, and treat His Majesty sincerely, if His Majesty looks at the old man's face, he will change his mind about you after a long time..."

Jinxuan didn't speak, but was still sobbing.Liu's heart ached when she saw it: "Silly girl..."

On this side, Lu Chengqi was walking along the corridor with a straight face, Gao Hao didn't dare to ask anything.In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this Concubine Shu is going too far, and actually used the Empress Dowager to suppress His Majesty, isn't this asking for trouble!The queen mother herself is a concubine, and after the late emperor left, she was posthumously named queen mother.If she is not His Majesty's biological mother, how can she control whom the emperor favors?It's the emperor's biological mother, so it's not easy to ask too much about it!No matter how powerful the mother is, she can only force Lu Chengqi to bow his head for a while, how can he bow his head forever?It will be miserable for Concubine Shu when the Empress Dowager is gone.

Gao Hao sighed slightly, even he could see it, why is Concubine Shu so stupid?
Little did they know that Mrs. Liu cared too much, so caring caused chaos!
