Chapter 555

Qin Zhongyue's acting made Emperor Ming Qi feel a little more guilty towards the Queen Mother.

Before the Empress Dowager died, the words of thousands of exhortations suddenly rang in Emperor Ming Qi's mind.

The Qin family cannot fall...

This sentence before death was undoubtedly a thorn in Emperor Ming Qi's heart.

Since the death of the Empress Dowager, Emperor Ming Qi not only lost patience with the Meng family, but also became more wary of the other concubines and mother families.

This made Concubine Wen Gui feel that she was the most wronged one.

When the empress was there, the Meng family was powerful and bullied others. She forbears it. The empress is not here. Before a new empress is established, she is the head of the harem, but the Wen family still has to bow their heads. What kind of rules is this?
But Emperor Mingqi made such a request, Concubine Wen Gui didn't dare to disobey, so she had to call Mrs. Wen into the palace one after another, exhorting and exhorting her, making Mrs. Wen suffocate in her heart.

Get angry, but what else can I do?
Let's not mention this for the time being, but Emperor Ming Qi couldn't help feeling deeply when he saw Qin Zhongyue complaining to his descendants, including the fact that he gave the queen medicine...

Shaking his head and putting aside these past evils, when Qin Zhongyue really couldn't find anything to say, Emperor Ming Qi had no choice but to say:
"It's all my fault. I didn't take good care of the queen mother. I can't bear the name of compassion and filial piety. The queen mother often talks about you, which shows that she really values ​​it. Since I came here, I will stay a few more days for the good of the queen mother." Paying homage is not only for the civil and military officials of the court, but also for showing filial piety, so that the Empress Dowager can feel at ease."

These words had a bit of sincerity from Emperor Ming Qi, but Qi Huazhen was very upset, before he could refute a few words, Qi Hongli came forward, bowed his hands, and said respectfully:
"Your Majesty has given such an order, and the ministers must obey the order, so please ask the Majesty to order someone to lead the way to the Empress Dowager's coffin."

He interrupted the conversation, he didn't want to go on in detail, he returned after it was obvious that he wanted to sacrifice to the spirit, and he didn't intend to stay here at all.

Emperor Ming Qi was startled, and then looked at Qi Huazhen. After all, Qi Hongli was a junior, and what he valued more was the governor of the southern army.

Qi Huazhen picked his ears, looked at each other with Qi Huakun, nodded at each other, and said to Emperor Ming Qi: "That's very good, please give the order."

Qin Zhongyue frowned, did he say all that eloquence just now?
The Qi family didn't intend to talk about it at all, and they didn't even mention the general military order, which made him have nothing to say!
Emperor Ming Qi sent his father-in-law to accompany him, and Qin Zhongyue felt unwilling, so he stepped forward and said:
"I haven't been here with my cousins ​​and brothers for many years, so it's okay for my son to accompany him to the 'Anhe Palace' to pay respects to the emperor's grandmother?"

Emperor Ming Qi nodded, but asked Qi Huazhen again, "Let him accompany you to wait, I will set up a dinner party for you to welcome, just wait here, go, go." Emperor Ming Qi waved his hands, Obviously, Qi's family could not refuse any more.

"It's inevitable that there will be a reception at the dinner party. I will pay homage to the Empress Dowager, and I will ask for this kind of reward." Qi Hua Zhenkeng said that he could not refuse, and Emperor Ming Qi had no choice but to do so.

Qin Zhongyue seemed to have succeeded, and he was very respectful to Qi Huazhen. Qi Huazhen got up and walked, Qi Huakun and Qi Hongguang accompanied him, and only Qi Hongli walked slowly and talked with Qin Zhongyue. When asked about the places to play in Nieliang City, Qin Zhongyue couldn't say anything.
Qin Zhongyue can't say a few words about poems and songs, but for fun, Qin Zhongyue is a prince after all, so he can't say a few words. When Qi Hongli finally talked about the largest brothel in Nieliang City, Qin Zhongyue couldn't help it He said: "I am the prince, so I can't go to such a place."

"Why?" Qi Hongli was stunned for a moment, then he laughed and said, "His Royal Highness is worrying too much. The tricks I mentioned are not the village of smoke and willows, but human tricks."

Qin Zhongyue was in an embarrassing stalemate, feeling ashamed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground.

Talking about these leisure activities, then asking about restaurants, teahouses, and brothels, how could he not want to go there?Unexpectedly, Qi Hongli said... Qin Zhongyue twitched his mouth and didn't know how to respond. Seeing Qi Hongli's teeth itch, with a bright smile, he knew that he was deliberately digging a hole for him to jump.

But before Qin Zhongyue could find out the words to save himself face, this party had already arrived at the "Anhe Palace".

Qi Hongli lost the leisurely and elegant look just now, but he was getting a little excited, and followed Qi Huazhen and others to pay respects to the Empress Dowager.

Because he is a junior, the rules of kowtow and salute follow one after another, Qin Zhongyue waited anxiously with his thoughts.

An hour later, he and the others were still kneeling and kowtowing, while Qin Zhongyue waited anxiously, asking the father-in-law beside him, "Why is this rule so time-consuming?"

The father-in-law hurriedly looked around in fright, and whispered in his ear: "His Royal Highness, keep your voice down, have you forgotten? This is a three-day worship..."

Qin Zhongyue clapped his hands fiercely, he really forgot about this matter, he only wanted to find an opportunity for the family members to come here to talk about the Southern General Military Order, but they still followed, maybe they also kowtowed here three days?Isn't this asking for trouble?
No matter how uncomfortable he was in his heart, Qin Zhongyue had to be like this. To pretend that he was the empress dowager's favorite and most beloved person, the words prepared in his heart would be more convincing.

It's good to think like this, and Qin Zhongyue followed into the hall and worshiped with Qi's family.

Obtaining Emperor Qi's will, I prayed that my family could stay in the palace for three days.

Although it was for the Empress Dowager, the news of this decree shocked most people.

Even Prince Zhuang had never had the privilege of staying in the palace for three days, and it was the first time that Qi's family was able to receive this honor when they came here.But what did Emperor Ming Qi want to do?Don't mention its care and courtesy, most people think of the southern military power.

If not for this, why else?

This southern military power is not only a serious worry for Emperor Ming Qi, but also a thorn in the hearts of everyone in the court.

When the Empress Dowager was around, he could suppress Qi's family's eagerness to move. If the Empress Dowager wasn't around, could Emperor Ming Qi still be able to suppress it?Knowing that she is not as important as the Empress Dowager, she had no choice but to offer an unprecedented reward to let the Qi family be grateful and loyal to the country.

But when this news reached Prince Zhuang's mansion, Prince Zhuang snorted coldly, smiled disdainfully, thought for a moment and said:
"Two compliments and a reward to seize military power. This trick is used for nothing, but without much thought, who else can be more stupid than this king?"

Ye Yunshui turned around and laughed, this old man is so self-deprecating, is it because he is too old to sit on the bed and think that what he did before was too foolish and loyal?
In addition, there may be some dissatisfaction with Emperor Ming Qi's promotion of Qi's family.

Qin Murong acted as if he hadn't heard anything, while Xiao Doudou was careful, looked up at Prince Zhuang, and said as if comforting: "Grandpa, you are not stupid."

Prince Zhuang was in a stalemate for a while, not knowing how to answer, Xiaotuanzi looked at Xiaodou, then at Prince Zhuang, scratched his head and asked, "Grandpa is stupid, so are we stupid?"

"Stupid." Xiaodouzi nodded, but smiled.

Prince Zhuang twitched his little heads one by one, "The courage is getting bigger and bigger, even Grandpa can tease him."

"My lord, I hope someone from my family will definitely come to visit you in the palace." Ye Yunshui said this tentatively.

Qin Murong said that his family would come to Prince Zhuang's mansion, but she knew the old man's temper well. If he came to the door directly like this, he might not be able to agree on a word, and he might be kicked out again. Earlier, Qin Murong had mentioned that Prince Zhuang and Qi Huazhen were at odds.

But the reason for this disagreement is the foolish loyalty that Prince Zhuang just laughed at himself.

Because Qi Huazhen refused to hand over the southern military power to Emperor Ming Qi, Prince Zhuang took the lead and scolded Qi Huazhen, thus forging a grievance.

Earlier, Ye Yunshui was still wondering why Qin Murong would try his best to calm Prince Zhuang's heart. It is said that he and Qi's family are also relatives, one is the queen mother's biological son, and the other is the queen mother's nephew. Even when you go to the mansion, you will be afraid that Emperor Ming Qi will have doubts, right?
It wasn't until Qin Murong talked about this episode today that Ye Yunshui suddenly understood that the old man's "stupid" sentence just now was not only self-deprecating but also self-blaming.

Today, he, a direct brother of Emperor Ming Qi, feels that his descendants are in turmoil, let alone Qi Family?
But it's one thing to know in his heart, but it's another thing whether Prince Zhuang himself is willing to step down this step, so Ye Yunshui wants to say hello first, so that the old man can have a better idea.

Prince Zhuang frowned, "Why did you come to visit me? I haven't entered the coffin yet."

"You entered the coffin and prayed that your family would not risk their lives to come to investigate. Why should you still remember the old grievances for many years?" Qin Murong's words made the old man angry, "What new and old grievances, without the Queen Mother, how could they dare not Hand over power? Hmph!"

Qin Murong answered immediately: "Without the queen mother, you dare not refuse to pay."

Prince Zhuang was stunned and speechless, while Qin Murong approached Prince Zhuang and said indifferently: "Your surname is Qin, you have to fight to the death to save the lives of the whole family, let alone others?"

Shen sighed, Prince Zhuang waved his hand, "Come if you come, this king will never talk about political affairs, not even a word."

Qin Murong didn't answer any more, but turned his head and nodded with Ye Yunshui, which was considered to be a tentative agreement. Ye Yunshui knew that Prince Zhuang was also hesitant in his heart, otherwise how could Qin Murong not talk back when he contradicted him like this?
The little guys played with Prince Zhuang for a while, and had dinner together before returning to "Shuiqing Garden".

At this time, besides Qin Zhongyue, there was also the Crown Princess Meng Yuxin who was in a state of distress.

Said to let him stop King Sujun and not allow him to go out?Meng Yuxin couldn't think of a way out of her head, isn't that embarrassing?She is a female family member and a junior, so she has to be in a good mood to accompany Concubine De to have a few words with Concubine De, and now she even has to go to stop the Duke of Su?This request is simply unreasonable.

After talking eloquently with Concubine De for more than an hour, Meng Yuxin really couldn't find anything to talk about.

Concubine De is also in a steady state of mind today, she didn't say anything to drive her away, instead she left her here to drink tea and chat, after drinking cup after cup of tea, Meng Yuxin felt her stomach swelled, and said to Concubine De with a blushing face: " Concubine De, don't blame me, this concubine wants to clean her hands."

Concubine De smiled lightly, waved her hand and said to the maid beside her, "...accompany the Crown Princess for a while."

Meng Yuxin quickly thanked her with a blessing, and left in a hurry with the maid.

Concubine De's faint smile disappeared, instead a sense of indifference emerged, Wen Daihe sat aside and asked wonderingly: "Mother Concubine, she never comes to our place, what's wrong today?"

"She's here to look at us, no, she's looking at Su'er." Concubine De's words startled Wen Daihe, "Looking at the county king? What, what's wrong?"

Concubine De looked at Wen Daihe helplessly, and said:
"You should have more things in the palace than your mind, and you can't just worry about having a child."

Wen Daihe blushed, carefully thought over the recent events in the palace, and then asked a little uncertainly: "But because you want your family to enter the palace?"

"That's the case." Concubine De nodded slightly satisfied, and without waiting for Wen Daihe to mention it again, she said: "I'm afraid that Su'er will have contacts with Qi's family..."

Speaking of this, Concubine De ordered: "Go and tell Su'er to prepare for the 'Hall of Yonghe', and don't be in a hurry, let those who should be in a hurry, remember to be 'prepare'."

Wen Daihe was ignorant, but he didn't ask carefully. After receiving this order, he went to the back hall to look for King Sujun.

Meng Yuxin came back from the clean room but didn't see Wen Daihe. She was slightly puzzled, and asked casually with a smile, "Where did Princess Sujun go? But what's the hurry?"

"The concubine is really considerate of others. She just went to serve King Su to change her clothes, pray for someone from the family, and she is not a distant relative. She should go and have a look." After Concubine De said this, she stared straight at Meng Yuxin .

Although Meng Yuxin knew that Concubine De was looking at her, she couldn't help being shocked!
The more she doesn't want anything to happen, the more she can't stop it. The king of Sujun wants to see Qi's family, what can she do?
"Pray for your family, pray for your family to pay homage to the Empress Dowager in the 'Anhe Palace'. I'm afraid we won't be able to see you for a while. It's better to see them again when they come out of the 'Anhe Palace'." Meng Yuxin suppressed the consternation in her heart. Say it.

Concubine De smiled sincerely, "You are right, then go tell King Su Jun? It will also save him from recovering from his health and tossing back and forth."

"Yes, Empress De Concubine is right." Meng Yuxin felt guilty when she said this, but De Concubine suddenly sneered, "You, the Crown Princess, really care about people."

The word "caring" was so strong that Meng Yuxin was a little timid.

Meng Yuxin knew that Concubine De was suspicious, so she didn't dare to say anything more, so she could only take a sip of tea, as a way to find a way for herself.

But when the tea was in his mouth, his heart was churning up and down.

Concubine De just said that she wanted to send someone to speak up, but there has been no movement until now?Wouldn't it be that King Sujun went to the "Hall of Yonghe" or went directly to the "Palace of Peace" soon?
Thinking of this, Meng Yuxin bit her lips subconsciously. She mentioned the "Anhe Palace" just now. If Qin Zhongyue found out, would she have to kill her?
Without caring too much, Meng Yuxin opened her mouth again and said with a smile:
"Isn't the concubine de concubine sending someone to speak to King Su Jun? Well, it just so happens that I want to ask Dai He about something, and my concubine will bring the message for you so that King Su Jun won't have to make any trouble." As she spoke, Meng Yuxin wanted to Getting up to go, Concubine De suddenly slapped the table and reprimanded:

"The princess is here to look at the palace and the county king and others?"

The fierceness in De Concubine's eyes made Meng Yuxin's heart skip a beat, what should I do?
