Peach Blossom Makeup

Chapter 160 Princess: I will not ask for a consort
The emperor Xi Chaosheng made a big move, he almost wished that the whole Great Yin would know the credit of Concubine Luo this time.

Therefore, in the days to come, those peach blossom eyes would be all smiles on everyone's face.

And he also began to prepare for the Empress Dowager's future affairs, and on the grounds of filial piety, he ordered the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs and the Kyushu Feudal King to offer gold as assistants, in order to hold a grand Qianqiu for the Empress Dowager.

The courtiers were unwilling, but the emperor used filial piety as an excuse, so no one could refuse.

Some of the courtiers trembled and tried every means to get gold, and some of them had already seen the emperor's mind, and they were perfunctory and didn't take it too seriously.

As for the Kyushu feudal king, no matter what he thinks in his heart, at least he can get by on the surface and will not embarrass anyone.

In addition, with Xi Chaosheng's order, the matter of singing and dancing for the Empress Dowager was handed over to Feng Jinxiu, who is now Fangyi, which made the concubines next to her jealous.

And before the queen mother returned to Beijing, Xi Chaosheng met the Gu family Gu Yanzhi again. He wanted to say a few words of intimacy, but Gu Yanzhi's sincere and respectful appearance made the emperor lose his mind in an instant.

After Gu Yanzhi left, Xi Chaosheng felt uneasy, so he summoned Commander Gu of the imperial army, and told him that there would be no mistakes made when the Queen Mother returned to Beijing for thousands of years.

After all this, Xi Chaosheng counted the days until the Queen Mother and Concubine Luo returned to Beijing.

Ten days passed in a flash, Concubine Luo and her party were only a day and a night away from the capital.

And one day, Suzaku's army will go back to the barracks first, and the rest of the plan will be to see who has the upper hand.

On July 27th, the Suzaku army had already returned to the camp, and also received the imperial edict from the emperor to recuperate, but not to return to the camp for half a month, not to mention that the soldiers in the camp had no time to rejoice, and the Shangguan who had been waiting for a long time suddenly appeared in the camp and sent an order Go on, no one is allowed to leave the barracks for half a month!

Immediately, the clever soldiers smelled something unusual.

But the Shangguan family spoke like this, and there was an imperial decree before it. Even though rumors spread in the army and people were panicked, no one really dared to disobey the Shangguan family.

But Concubine Luo didn't go back to the Princess Mansion, she directly entered the palace together with the Queen Mother.

All the way into the palace, there are already lights and festoons, red gauze lanterns are hung high, and five-color silks are flying in the wind, which is very festive.

Emperor Xi Chaosheng was waiting at the gate of the palace early on. Seeing the queen mother's Luanjia approaching slowly, he immediately raised his robe to greet him, and said excitedly, "Chaosheng has met the queen mother, how hard has the mother been all the way?"

He actually called himself a taboo, and he didn't put on the emperor's airs at all.

The Empress Dowager came down from Luan's carriage. She dressed lightly and looked tired, but she still complained, "How could a saint have no rules? Besides, there are honeys around, and the maids are waiting for you all the way. It's not hard for Aijia."

The emperor Xi Chaosheng saw Concubine Luo and Xi Fu come down afterwards, he looked at Concubine Luo up and down, and seeing that she was still in good spirits, he bent his peachy eyes and smiled warmly, "It's me who has nothing to do, but I miss my mother."

As he said that, he stepped forward to hold one hand of the Queen Mother, and Concubine Luo hurried forward, supported the other side of the Queen Mother, rolled her eyes and asked the emperor, "Why doesn't brother ask Mimi if it's okay?"

When Xi Chaosheng saw her delicate appearance, he felt happy from the bottom of his heart, "Mimi must be doing well, and returning triumphantly, how could it be bad?"

Facing Xi Chaosheng's teasing, Concubine Luo shook the Empress Dowager's hand and said, "Empress Mother, look, elder brother is used to bullying Mimi like this."

The Empress Dowager looked around and saw that her sons and daughters were happy, so she was extremely satisfied. This kind of blood kinship is incomparable to the power of the country.

If it wasn't for the fact that the first emperor left early, and Great Yin was in dire straits, why would she want to be the regent queen mother?
Xifu, who fell behind, had an envious face on her face. She actually wanted to go forward and say something, but the queen mother had no place left and right, and she also knew that she was not liked by the emperor, so she squeezed her palms to hide the embarrassment in her heart. A little lost, Qi Liu Hai's little face is smiling again.

Also lagging behind is Qin Shou, the son-in-law. He also took a look at the interaction between the three queen mothers. He was not envious, but he paid more attention to Concubine Luo's expression. It is the most relaxed and natural, without cynicism, nor arrogant sneer, just like an ordinary lady.

A group of people walked back to the Empress Dowager's Yanbo Palace, all the maids in the palace had already made preparations, and they just waited for the Empress Dowager to come back.

The Empress Dowager changed her clothes and rested for a while, and then she appeared in the side hall, she waved back to the left and right, only the Emperor, Concubine Luo, Qin Shou and Xi Fu were left in the hall.

She just said with a stern face, "Saint, what is the current situation in Beijing?"

The emperor saw that the queen mother did not shy away from Qin Shou and Xifu, so he said truthfully, "The Shangguan family and Prince Gong couldn't do it any longer. Just before the queen mother returned to the palace, I received a secret report that the Zhuque army who had just returned to the camp for the first time had already let Shangguan go. Imprisoned in the camp, he is resisting the edict!"

After saying the last word, the emperor was obviously very angry.

The Queen Mother was not surprised, "Where is King Shun?"

The emperor frowned, "There is no other movement, just eat and drink every day, I can't see what he wants to do."

Hearing this, Qin Shou frowned, and the vermilion color suddenly became clear. Concubine Luo caught a glimpse of his expression and was slightly taken aback. Then she asked, "What do you think King Shun will do?"

As soon as the words came out of her mouth, she regretted a little, and she really shouldn't ask him.

Qin Shou's brows have been relaxed, but he still has no expression on his face, "It's better to be more cautious."

The others refused to say more, Concubine Luo frowned, she could clearly hear the meaning of perfunctory from these words.

The Empress Dowager coughed lightly, and turned the subject, "The son-in-law is right, it's better to be more cautious, but there is no need to worry about King Ning, the Ai family has its own way to deal with it."

The emperor nodded, and when he mentioned King Ning, he took another look at Xifu, only to see that she was playing with her fingers with her head down, looking timid and cowering.

He looked away calmly, and heard the Queen Mother say again, "Tomorrow is the day to mourn the family for thousands of years. If you can mourn the family, I don't want the saint to take this risk."

"Mother..." the emperor shouted.

The queen mother waved her hands, sighing slightly, "Don't leave the palace tonight, and you will avoid accidents."

Concubine Luo nodded, although the Princess Mansion is in the Outer Imperial City, but in this deep palace, the palace where she used to live is naturally still there.

The mother and son said something else, but Qin Shou and Xi Fu remained silent.

It was getting late, Concubine Luo took Qin Shou to bid farewell to the Empress Dowager, Xi Fu bowed her head and left together with Concubine Luo, the sage gave Concubine Luo a ride.

After passing through the imperial garden, only Concubine Luo and Qin Shou remained, and Gong'e followed behind.

Concubine Luo stepped on the moonlight, her expression was uncertain, she was a little worried about tomorrow's affairs, but also felt that her heart was in a state of panic.

Standing in the Heluo Palace where she used to live, she suddenly stamped her feet, seeing that Gong'e was still far away, her lips moved, and she asked in a low voice, "Qin Jiuzhou, will everything go well tomorrow?"

Qin Shou fixedly looked at her, and saw that she was at a loss in her eyes. She rarely showed such a look in front of him.

But this time, he still smiled slightly, "Yes, everyone the princess cares about will be fine."

At the end, he added another sentence, "Otherwise, the princess begged Jiuzhou, and Jiuzhou will naturally keep the princess safe and sound, how about it?"

Before she had time to be moved, Concubine Luo's face turned cold all at once, she raised her chin sternly, snorted coldly at him, turned around and entered the hall, leaving Qin Shou with a slender back view.
