Huang Jue, after three marriages

Chapter 266
Empress Dowager Liu looked at the queen indifferently, and did not speak for a long time.

Although the emperor was a little transparent prince back then, he was his own son after all. The first emperor chose the prince and concubine with a little thought.

At that time, Mr. Fu was well-known all over the world. He had served as the Imperial Academy for several decades. He had many disciples in the imperial court. Moreover, he devoted himself to studying and never formed cliques. He was respected by the late emperor.

Back then, several princes wanted to marry the Fu family, but the first emperor pointed to the emperor.

The reason is that the daughter of the Fu family is well-educated and reasonable, and can talk to the emperor. Regardless of other things, a happy marriage is possible if she is in harmony with each other.

It's a pity that this person is indeed educated and reasonable, and his etiquette and behavior are not good, but he has never experienced danger.

His own son was so young, and he didn't follow closely. He was forced to take his son away with a single word, and died of fright in the end.

Over the years, she and the emperor have taken care of her as much as possible, caring about her grief and heartbreak, and never mentioning her faults.

But now, the emperor is the emperor, and she is also the queen, so it would be bad to be so ignorant.

Virtuous and virtuous, it is enough to be the wife of an ordinary person, but it is enough to be a queen...

If there is no sensitivity at all, it will not work.

And letting jealousy blind one's eyes to the point of being desperate is even worse.

"Mother?" Seeing Empress Dowager Liu's cold gaze, the queen called out a little nervously.

"Queen, Zhao Hao is an important general of the country, and he has repeatedly made meritorious service. As a king, he must not only be rewarded for his meritorious service, but also have a heart of trust. Zhao Hao can't marry a girl from Rongguo's mansion because the time is not right, but it doesn't matter. It doesn't mean that Zhao Hao can let you make fun of him."

Empress Dowager Liu's voice was light, with a rare serious expression on her face, she looked at the queen and said, "One word of suspicion from you can make the monarch and his ministers renounced! At that time, Zhao Hao and his son will be forced away...Queen, what are your intentions?"

The queen looked panic-stricken, got up and knelt down quickly, and said: "My concubine, I definitely have no such intentions!"

"Get up." The emperor lowered his eyes slightly, and said coldly in his voice: "The queen doesn't understand the affairs of the previous dynasty, so don't talk nonsense. The queen mother has her own ideas about the marriage of the Yue girl, so you don't have to go there. Thinking, if those wives speak bad words, why don’t you reprimand them like a dignified empress? If you can’t do it, then don’t see it, can’t you do it?”

The queen's face turned red and then pale, her eyes were red, and there were tears rolling down her cheeks.

Empress Dowager Liu felt pity again when she saw it, she stretched out her hand to help the queen up and said: "The emperor's words are a bit heavy, but think about it, the emperor's words are also for your sake, you are naturally kind-hearted and soft-tempered. Yes, you used to be a concubine, and when you closed the door, no one would think of you. Now that you are a queen, how many people want to act in your name? If you can't judge, then just reject them all. Just live your life comfortably.”

The queen wiped her eyes and said in a low voice: "The concubine also wants to help the emperor share his worries."

"I know your kindness, you go back to the palace first, I still have something to say with the queen mother." The emperor said lightly.

The empress choked in her heart, but she couldn't stay because of the emperor's words, so she could only give another salute and lead her away.

"She didn't mean anything bad, you..." Seeing the queen's back disappear, Empress Dowager Liu sighed softly.

"No ill intentions?" The emperor snorted coldly.

Empress Dowager Liu shook her head slightly and said: "It's been so many years, and you know her temperament. In the past, no one would come to her palace for a few days. When the matter of Marquis Ningyuan happened, there were always no fewer than ten people a day who handed out signs to greet you." A few people, too many people talking, and she has such a temper, how can she not be affected? Instead of being angry with her, you should think about who ordered those people to enter the palace and want to say something through her mouth. "

The emperor's expression froze immediately, and he said, "What does the empress mean?"

The queen is soft-hearted, and she thinks that she has outstanding female virtues. If she is bored with Su Yue (already born), she will naturally tell her and the queen mother.

Even, directly ordered to reprimand Su Yue.

Then Su Yue, Su Yue, she...

This instigator...

What a vicious mind!
"Emperor, the second prince is already grown up. Concubine Yuan can't sit still. It's understandable that she feels sorry for her family, but she doesn't like such behavior." Empress Dowager Liu said coldly.

Concubine Yuan wanted the emperor to establish a prince early, and she could understand just this thought, but now, she only thought about hitting the queen, but never thought about the consequences of doing so.

Wait, why did she hit the queen?

The queen has no children, logically, as long as the second prince does not make mistakes, the crown prince will naturally belong to the eldest son.

Unless, the queen recognized a son at her knees.

Concubine Yuan, are you afraid of this?

Just because he was afraid of this, because he wanted the queen to fall out of favor, and ignored the emperor, even Zhao Hao and the important ministers wanted to make up their minds?
Thinking of this, Empress Dowager Liu's face became even colder, and she said: "Emperor, you have to take care of it. The Ai family heard that Concubine Yuan has a lot of contact with foreign ministers. Two days ago, the wife of Prime Minister Cai entered the palace again and again. Now The emperor has just ascended the throne, so he has more time to pick and choose among the children, now, we can't let gossip spread."

The emperor clenched his hands into fists, slammed it on the table, and said sharply: "What a poisonous thought, this is to completely destroy Yue girl!"

Empress Dowager Liu glanced at him speechlessly, thinking that you are focusing on the wrong place.

Thinking that this was his son's temperament, he could only sigh.

"I know what the queen mother means." The emperor also sighed, and said: "I remember that the elder brother of the prince once said that people's hearts cannot stand the test of power. Concubine Yuan used to look gentle and honest, but now she can't. It's so vicious, it's only aimed at this dragon chair."

Empress Dowager Liu patted the back of his hand distressedly, and said: "Yes, so, the empress is still a good one, at least, she is sincere for you."

I don't want to get the dragon chair, but I want to get your love.

The emperor shook his head, and the sarcasm on the corners of his lips faded away, he showed a smile and said to Empress Dowager Liu: "By the way, empress mother, do you know the meaning of what Yue girl said before she left?"

Empress Dowager Liu was taken aback, and said, "Open the box?"

"That's right." The emperor said with a chuckle, "Today Liu Qi entered the palace wearing a formal official uniform, and said that he was paying me some extravagant treasures for a friend, and that friend was none other than Xie Jue."

Liu Qi is the eldest son of Cheng En Bo, and he was granted a third-rank dismissal position. In fact, there is a court uniform, but Liu Qi has never regarded himself as an official. Even if he enters the palace, he is here to greet the Queen Mother. Today, it is the first time to wear it Don't say he was surprised, even more so were the few people in the cabinet who were dressed in a decent prince's suit and a third-rank fish pendant.

Empress Dowager Liu was surprised: "How did he know Xie Jue?"

The emperor smiled and said, "Didn't he open a spice shop? I heard that Xie Jue promised to supply him with [-] catties of spices, so he did this as a favor and stood up for Xie Jue."

Ordinary businessmen are not qualified to send things to the emperor. Even if there are strange things, they will come up through the local officials layer by layer. Who knows how much the businessman will get in the end?

But now, it was Liu Qi who delivered it directly, and opened all the gift boxes in front of those ministers.

"Those things are really amazing things. I have ordered that Xie Jue be a fourth-rank doctor."
