Chapter 82 The Newlywed Adventure (1)
On the sixth day of the wedding, a servant came from Ningshou Palace and passed on the order of the Empress Dowager, "Concubine Jin will come to see you immediately." King Jin thanked the servant warmly, and ordered the maid to take him to the side hall for tea.

"Why did grandma suddenly want to see you?" King Jin pondered, "Qingque, I will go with you." King Jin was a little worried about letting his new wife go to the palace alone.

"No need." Qingque said with a smile: "Grandmother summoned me alone, and you followed me. It's annoying. It seems very worried. It's not good."

Qing Que insisted so much that King Jin had no choice but to let her enter the palace alone without being accompanied by him.After Qingque left, the King of Jin called Nanny Zhong and gave some detailed instructions.Nanny Zhong bowed her knees and agreed with a dignified expression, and hurried away.The news in Ningshou Palace should be inquired about, the concubine who has just been married for six days cannot go to Ningshou Palace alone, King Jin can only wait in the mansion.

The concubine is only on the sixth day of her wedding, she is not familiar with all the family members of the royal family, the temperament of the empress dowager, the situation in the palace, her eyes are darkened.Princess, don't say the wrong thing, Nanny Zhong prayed secretly.

The palace quickly sent a letter: Anyanghou's daughter-in-law Shen He wrote to Ningshou Palace, claiming that Princess Jin Qi Qingque intentionally concealed her identity to deceive the king.The Empress Dowager was shocked and called Mrs. Ning Guo into the palace for questioning.After that, the concubine Jin was called.

"Despicable and shameless!" Nanny Zhong trembled angrily.

Jin Wang stood up slowly, "Prepare the car, I have to enter the palace alone."

The servant led the way, and Qing Que walked into Ningshou Palace at a leisurely pace.The Empress Dowager was sitting dignifiedly in the main hall, wearing a Yanju crown dress.The main hall, Yanju crown clothes, so formal, it must not be an ordinary family talk, Qing Que is clear in his heart.

Qingque Yingying bowed down, the Empress Dowager looked at her silently for a moment, then said warmly: "Get up." Qingque thanked her, stood up, and stood respectfully with her hands down.

The Empress Dowager beckoned her to come closer, looked carefully at her brilliant, youthful face, and sighed leisurely: "I didn't expect that when you were young, your grandmother actually saw you."

Qi Qingque is Miss Deng, and Miss Deng is Qi Qingque.It turned out that the little girl A Yuan liked when he was young was the bride in front of him.A Yuan and her are really destined.

Qingque's eyes lit up, and she asked pleasantly, "Have you seen me when I was young? That's great, grandma, whose family am I a child of, and who are my parents?"

The Empress Dowager couldn't help being stunned.Why don't you even know whose child you are?There is no such reason.Qing Que's cheeks were flushed, and she looked at the Empress Dowager happily, "Grandmother, we have met each other a long time ago, no wonder I feel very kind when I see you!"

The Empress Dowager looked at the joy and admiration in Qing Que's eyes, and smiled slightly.This child is just like A Yuan, completely innocent and pure.

"Listen to you, don't you remember anything about your childhood?" The Empress Dowager asked Qing Que slowly.Qingque nodded, "Yes, I don't remember at all. I was rescued from the deep mountains, when I was rescued..."

Having said that, Qingque paused, with a look of hesitation on her face.The Empress Dowager smiled, "At that time, what happened?" Qingque looked at her carefully, "It's not very clean, I dare not say that in front of grandma." The Empress Dowager's heart moved, the smile on her face remained unchanged, "Silly boy, if you have anything to say to grandma, it doesn't matter if it's unclean."

Qing Que breathed a sigh of relief, and said bravely: "At that time, I was about seven or eight years old, and my internal organs were injured, and there was also a serious trauma. My whole body was covered in blood. Bloody man. When he was rescued, he had only his last breath left."

The Empress Dowager was shocked, "What did you say? Say it again!" She was shocked at first, but then her tone became quite severe.

Qing Que lowered her head timidly, "...there is only one last breath left, and it took a lot of effort to pick up a little life. Later, the internal injury could not be cured. I heard that there is an apricot forest master in Helan Mountain, who made a special trip to Helan Mountain to seek medical treatment..." See The empress dowager's complexion was not good, her voice gradually became quieter, and she didn't dare to speak any more.

The Empress Dowager's chest rose and fell, obviously very angry.Qing Que, a newly married young daughter-in-law, was still very restrained in front of her mother-in-law. Seeing that the empress dowager was angry, she timidly stood aside, at a loss what to do.

The winter sun shines into the hall, which is warm and comfortable, brilliant and precious, bringing a little bit of warmth.On a long table made of nanmu wood in the corner of the hall, there is a bronze tripod-shaped incense burner with a simple style, quietly exhaling fragrant cigarettes.

"You really don't remember anything about your childhood?" After a long time, the Empress Dowager asked slowly.Qingque's eyes darkened, "I just remember lying in bed all day long, drinking soup and medicine endlessly. The medicine is very bitter, so bitter that it is hard to swallow."

The Empress Dowager sighed, and said gently: "My good boy, you have suffered." There was a sense of comfort in her tone.Qingque smiled sweetly, "It's not bitter, it's not bitter, it's all healed later, it's alive and kicking."

"He is a good and blessed boy." The Empress Dowager sighed greatly.

Qing Que vividly talked about her healing process, "...At first, I was in the capital, and then I gradually went to the northwest to search for famous doctors. Finally, I found an expert in Helan Mountain, and the wound was cured."

"That expert has excellent medical skills, but he is alone and has no family members. His parents and relatives died tragically under the iron hooves of the Hu people. When I was treated by him that day, I promised him that I would resist the Hu captives for the rest of my life and protect my family. Weiguo. After the wound was healed, I kept my promise and became a soldier in the army."

The empress dowager was extremely moved, "No wonder you are a weak woman, but you went to the battlefield like a man. There is a reason for this. Qing Que, you are a good boy who is affectionate and righteous, and will obey what you say."

Qingque was praised and smiled childishly, innocently.The more the Empress Dowager looked at her, the more she fell in love with her, "This child, people who look at it are full of enthusiasm." Her eyes are pure and bright, and her smile is as bright as a flower, which makes people feel happy.

"Qing Que, is it true that you are very close to Deng Qi of Duke Ning's mansion?" The Empress Dowager looked at Qing Que smiling like a flower, and suddenly remembered an important matter.

"Yes." There was confusion in Qingque's smile, "Grandmother, I don't know why, but when I see Uncle Deng, I feel very kind and happy."

Bone tube ah.The empress dowager's eyes were pitiful. Although the child was injured so badly that he couldn't remember the past, but when he saw his own father, he naturally wanted to get close to him.Nature, father and daughter nature.

The Empress Dowager wanted to keep Qing Que to sit in Ningshou Palace for a while, Qing Que blushed in embarrassment, "Grandmother, His Royal Highness King Jin doesn't like to eat alone, so he wants me to accompany you..." Sit still, A Yuan will be in a hurry.

The Empress Dowager smiled brightly, "Come back, Qingque." Hurry up and return to Prince Jin's Mansion, don't let A Yuan be alone.You have to be tired of being together even after eating, this young couple is really loving.The husband and wife of A Yuan and Qingque are so harmonious, and they want to have a great-grandson, just around the corner.

Qing Que smiled and chatted a few gossips with the Empress Dowager before leaving.Walking in the majestic courtyard, bathed in the warm winter sun, the face of the blue bird is reflected with a layer of light gold, looking forward to brilliance.

After leaving the Ningshou Palace, the palace servants led two noble ladies, one old and one young, to come face to face.This elderly lady has gray hair, but there is no kindness between her brows, full of hostility.The young noblewoman was very beautiful, but her manners were not elegant enough, and her hands were restrained.

Seeing Qingque, the palace servants hurriedly knelt down to salute, "Meet the princess." But the elderly lady stood proudly, looking at Qingque full of hatred and hatred.The young imperial concubine hesitated for a moment, followed by the palace servants prostrated themselves by the roadside, "My concubine, Shen, pay my respects to the concubine."

Seeing the elderly lady standing proudly and not kneeling, the palace servants hurriedly tugged at the end of her skirt quietly, "Mrs. Xun, this is Princess Jin."

Xun's heart is to take revenge on Qing Que for all the wrongs he has suffered in this life, how can he bend his knees to Qing Que?She glared at Qing Que angrily, wishing to tear the radiant woman in front of her to pieces.

Qing Que ignored Mrs. Xun, and looked down at the young lady who was prostrate on the ground, "Mrs. Shen, is she the daughter of Shen Fu who embezzled military pay, collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, and was executed at Caishikou?"

The young lady quickly raised her head and glanced at her, her eyes were full of resentment, then she lowered her head, endured the humiliation and replied in a low voice: "Yes."

Qing Que smiled faintly, "Shen Fu and his son were killed, and all the family members were exiled to the Northwest. Only the married daughter was spared. Shen Mo, the daughter of Shen's family, is the grandson wife of Duke Ning's mansion. She has a son and a daughter, both of whom are adults. Your age is wrong. , it must not be you. The second daughter of the Shen family, Shen Zhi, married Xi Chengzong, the right servant of the Ministry of War, as her successor, and now she is resting in the village, so it must not be you. "

The palace servants laughed at the side, "What the princess said is very true, this is the young lady of the Anyang Marquis." Shen He trembled slightly, and replied in a low voice: "Yes."

Qing Que smiled contemptuously, "Shen Fu has committed ten crimes in his life, and his crimes are extremely heinous. His daughter dared to appear in the palace, she is quite courageous."

Shen He bowed his head and was speechless, filled with resentment in his heart.

Xun jumped up in anger, and said sharply: "Qi Qingque, you are so arrogant and condescending, and you don't even ask me to say hello when you see me. Is this your way of respecting your elders?"

Seeing Xun's rudeness, the female official was shocked. While apologizing to Qingque in a hurry, she wanted to stop Xun.Qing Que smiled slightly, and gestured to her, indicating that she did not need to interfere.The female officer felt uneasy, and with a smile on her face, "Yes, Princess."

Qing Que looked at Xun with a half-smile, "You know that my surname is Qi. I am the daughter of the Qi family, the wife of the royal family. What kind of elder are you?"

Xun's eyes were about to burst into flames, "You are so unfilial, how can the royal family tolerate you? How can God tolerate you?"

Not recognizing one's father's family is unfilial, and you still want to seek benefits.The Qi family dared to marry a fake daughter to the royal family. This is a blatant deception!It is clearly recorded in the mansion newspaper that the king of Jin accepts his concubine and performs the ceremony of asking her name. The envoy "asks her name according to the imperial edict, and will seek all kinds of divination." Qi Qingque is the biological daughter of Qi Zhen and Yingniang, who deceives and deceives unscrupulously.

If this matter is spread out, what is the crime of the Xuancheng uncle's mansion, and what is the crime of Qi Qingque?You still dare to mess with me, you don't know how to live or die.Xun's eyes were excited, and he really wanted to swear out what was in his heart, and get his mouth full.But wait a minute, let's be patient for a while, wouldn't it be more enjoyable to knock her down in front of the Empress Dowager, and beat her back to her original shape?

"Qi Qingque, wait for me!" The thousand words in Xun's heart turned into a vicious threat.

"Which family's female family is so shameless, dare to be rude to the lonely princess?" The clear and cold man's voice rang in everyone's ears.

Looking up, Jin Wang came slowly with several servants.

King Jin was wearing a light blue brocade robe embroidered with nine flying dragons. He was beautiful and dignified, not like a man in the world.

His eyes flicked past Xun Shi, with contempt and disgust in his indifference, Xun Shi felt a chill in his heart.

Xun Shi dared to glare at Qingque, but he had no temper when he saw King Jin, and knelt down with everyone, "Meet His Royal Highness King Jin."

Qing Que smiled and walked over, "Why is Your Highness here?"

Didn't I tell you that it was me that grandma summoned, so don't come, as if you are very worried about grandma.Grandma can be paranoid, you know?

Jin Wang said softly: "I miss my grandmother alone, and I am here to say hello to my grandmother." Qing Que met his concerned eyes and whispered, "Hey, don't be too cruel, after all..." Jin Wang stretched out his long, white fingers On the edge of her mouth, she stopped her gently, "Don't worry, you have your own measure."

Two servants rushed over carrying a sedan chair with blue curtains, "Princess, you go back to the mansion to rest first, and I will return later." Jin Wang smiled and opened the sedan chair curtain for Qingque.

Qingque looked at him mischievously, her expression was clearly mocking, "A Yuan, this is not something you should do." King Jin gave her an ambiguous smile in return, "Little Qingque, it's not like I didn't reveal it to you." Pass the car curtain.

Qingque smiled sweetly, and happily got on the sedan chair.

"A Yuan, please be merciful." Thinking of Deng Qi and Ning Guogong, before leaving, Qing Que whispered another sentence.King Jin smiled softly, "Definitely." Putting up the sedan chair curtain for Qing Que, he waved his hand, and the servant lifted up the sedan chair and left briskly.

Xun Shi and Shen He knelt on the ground, and they secretly glanced in surprise.The King of Jin...he is so affectionate with the concubine who has only been married for six days...

A pair of blue-soled satin facing boots stopped in front of the two of them, Xun Shi and Shen He both held their breath.

After a long time, after the pair of whips were out of sight, the two of them relaxed, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on their backs.

"His Highness has already left, everyone please stand up." The female officer said softly.

Xunshi and Shen He stood up together, their eyes blank.King Jin, he clearly asked to see the Empress Dowager, he is the grandson of the Empress Dowager, what would he say to the Empress Dowager when he met him?

In Ningshou Palace, the King of Jin ordered his internal officials to find out the living notes of the first ten days of September in the 15th year of Chenghua, and pointed them to the Empress Dowager, "Duke Ning Guo said in front of the late emperor that Miss Deng's daughter died of illness. Today Today, Mrs. Ning Guogong said in front of you that Deng Zhiyuan is still alive and is my princess. Grandmother, did Ning Guogong deceive the late emperor, or Ning Guogong and Mrs. Ning tricked you?"

The Empress Dowager glanced at King Jin slowly, "Ah Yuan, you remember really well." Of course it is possible to check the ins and outs of an event from daily life, but it usually takes a lot of effort.It's good for A Yuan, he can remember the year and month clearly, and it's at his fingertips.

The King of Jin said indifferently: "When the late emperor summoned Ning Guogong, I eavesdropped behind the screen. After hearing the bad news, I passed out on the ground, became seriously ill, and lay groggy on the bed for a long time. Grandma, to tell you the truth, After I recovered from my illness, I went to read the daily notes against the late emperor, hoping that the incident was false. However, it was clearly written in black and white that Deng Zhiyuan, the great-granddaughter of Duke Ning, died of illness."

The empress dowager recalled the past and felt pity in her heart, "Poor A Yuan, you were really ill for a long time at that time, and my grandmother was about to die of heartache."

The king of Jin looked stubborn, "Mrs. Ning Guogong can't lie in front of grandmother for no reason, just for fun. It seems that Qing Que is really the eldest lady of the Deng family. Grandma, Ning Guogong deceived the late emperor. The crime is unforgivable. A Yuan wants to ask brother to follow the law. Punishment, never leniency."

The Empress Dowager pondered and said: "If Qing Que is really a child of the Deng family, for her sake, we shouldn't embarrass Duke Ning's family. A Yuan, that's her natal family."

King Jin lifted up his clothes, and slowly knelt down at the empress dowager's knees, "Grandmother, Ah Yuan loved and respected the late emperor the most in his life. Every time he recalled the late emperor, his clothes were wet with tears. The late emperor was deceived by Ning Guogong unscrupulously, and A Yuan could not tolerate it."

The empress dowager had tears in her eyes, "You have always been gentle, respectful and peaceful, and you have never heard of anyone being punished. Now that you know that Ning Guogong lied to the late emperor, you can't bear it anymore. It is worthy of the late emperor's love for you, A Yuan, are you Be filial to your children."

"Mrs. Ningguo is still waiting in the side hall." The Empress Dowager told Jin Wang, "Grandmother will order someone to call her to ask her again. If she still insists, she can't say, so I have to let your brother deal with it."

As for Princess Jin, the Empress Dowager is fully in charge.As for Ning Guogong, it is not up to the Empress Dowager, only the emperor's decree.

"Thank you grandma!" King Jin kowtowed respectfully.The Empress Dowager pulled him up affectionately, "Ah Yuan, your father must be very happy to have found out." King Jin's eyes were red, and the Empress Dowager felt sore in her heart.

The Empress Dowager ordered the female officer, "Pass it to the Xun family and the Shen family." The female officer respectfully agreed, and walked out of the palace quickly, and brought Xun family and Shen He in without much effort.Xun Shi and Shen He entered the palace, and they had seen the Empress Dowager, feeling uneasy.

The Empress Dowager asked gently: "Xun Shi, you said that Princess Jin is your great-granddaughter Deng Zhiyuan, is that true? Your great-granddaughter Deng Zhiyuan has already had a funeral in Chenghua for 15 years."

Xun Shi was taken aback.How is this going?Does the Empress Dowager still remember what happened ten years ago?Although she faintly felt that something was wrong, she was stubborn and not flexible, she was slightly startled, and stammered: "Back to the Empress Dowager, concubine, what I said is true!"

The Empress Dowager smiled slightly, "That's right."
