Chapter 249 Prince Consort: Finally Knowing to Protect Me

It's time.

Inside the Palace of Eternal Night, all civil and military officials and their families sit on the left and right sides, separated by 24 landscape screens in the middle, and the left and right side doors are opened.

"Concubine Luo and her son-in-law have arrived—" the eunuch's sharp voice suddenly echoed in the hall where there were occasional murmurs. The entire Eternal Night Hall fell silent for a moment, and everyone turned their heads to look at the entrance of the hall.

Concubine Luo and Qin Shou walked through the main gate of the Palace of Eternal Night, while the child was held by Shouyang, who was a step behind. The sharp-eyed courtier keenly saw the small dark purple quilt wrapped around Xizang, and was shocked by the golden dragon pattern on it. He quickly lowered his head, not daring to take another look.

On the high seat, the Emperor and the Empress Dowager arrived half an hour earlier. As soon as Concubine Luo came in, the Empress Dowager smiled and waved to her, "Mimi, quickly take a look at Zang'er and Ai's family."

Concubine Luo smiled, and as soon as she turned her steps, she went to the Queen Mother, followed with Shouyang's child in her arms, and Qin Shou came to the Emperor's side. During the period, all the ministers bowed their hands to congratulate him, and he just had a blank face. Nodding with an expression, it was a response.

Hiding in the empress dowager's bosom, I don't know whether the empress dowager did it unintentionally or on purpose, the little quilt of the dark purple golden dragon was untied from her hand, and the nearby female relatives below could see clearly.

Some people looked at each other in surprise, in this excitement, they hid their surprise, and started talking and laughing with the Queen Mother and Concubine Luo with smiles, their words were full of flattery to flatter Xizang.

The smile on Concubine Luo's face remained the same, she was alienated and noble, and only when the Queen Mother talked to her could she see the warmth in her eyes, but when she was next to her, she looked indescribably noble.

Suddenly, bursts of laughter came from the emperor's minister of civil and military affairs, which caused the female relatives here to lean forward and look at each other, but no one dared to lose their composure.

The queen mother said leisurely, "Saint, why are you so happy?"

Emperor Xi Chaosheng was holding the wine cup, his pair of peach eyes that were very similar to Concubine Luo blinked and said, "You Aiqing wrote a poem in the name of Zang'er, I was delighted to hear it, so I am happy."

"Oh?" After saying this, the Empress Dowager became interested and asked, "What poem is it?"

The emperor took a sip of his wine and said leisurely, "Nian and the queen mother listen."

Immediately below, a strange voice read in cadence, "Qinchuan Xiongdi's residence, every family returns home. When I hear Yu's point in the collection of books, where does Lang return from?"

In the four-character poems, the first word at the beginning of each line does not mean "Qin Jiazang Lang" when combined.

The minister who made this poem originally thought that he would be happy, but the smile on the Empress Dowager's face faded instantly after hearing it.

Everyone is puzzled, this poem is a good poem, but they don't know why the Empress Dowager looks like this.

Concubine Luo, on the other hand, chuckled lightly, and said arrogantly, "My surname is Xi and Zang, but his surname is not Qin."

As soon as these words fell, the hall was in an uproar, and everyone unconsciously looked at Qin Shou, with sympathy and gloating in their eyes.

Qin Shou was calm and stable. He regarded his surroundings as nothing and remained unmoved at all. He even poured a glass of wine slowly and drank it leisurely.

The emperor should have said, "I didn't intend to hide it from your family. I asked my son-in-law for this matter."

All the ministers and their family members in the palace looked at the young emperor on the high seat, the queen mother sighed, and handed over the Xizang to Concubine Luo before saying, "Since the sage insists on explaining to the princes today, the Ai family will not stop him."

Everyone's faces were shocked, and some of them were thinking quickly, and they were already thinking about it.

The emperor glanced at the queen mother with relief, and said calmly, "Today, the eldest son-in-law will adopt me at my knees, and Xizang will be my eldest son in the future."

Immediately, the staid veteran fell to his knees with a plop, crying, "A saint must never be allowed, the blood of the country is the foundation of the country, don't mess it up."

"King Rong is a wolf with ambition, and the army is crushing the city. A saint must not be threatened by King Rong..."

"The ministers will never agree to the matter of adoption!"

One after another, nearly one-third of the ministers in the court knelt down, and even on the side of the female relatives, there were also high-ranking ladies who interceded with the Queen Mother.

The emperor watched silently, and waited for the courtiers to finish speaking before he waved his hand slightly and invited him out of the imperial hospital.

Under the watchful eyes of all the ministers, Whitebeard's courtyard said with a look of grief, "Saint, he was poisoned by villains in his early years, and he was injured...injured his bones."

Saying this, an elderly courtyard was prostrate at the feet of the emperor, crying indistinctly.

In the entire hall, only Yu Yuanzheng was crying sadly, and the people around were really shocked and could not utter a word. At first, the minister who scolded Qin Shou for his wolfish ambition and intimidating the emperor opened his eyes wide, as if being strangled by someone The throat is like a drake, with its mouth open, unable to speak a word.

This is still intimidating, it should be the emperor who threatened King Rong, it's almost the same, who can be willing to adopt the eldest son to others, not the second son.

Qin Shou drank half a jug of wine, he glanced at him, and said lukewarmly, "Don't worry, saint, Zang'er will be filial to saints in the future."

The emperor withdrew his foot from Yuanzheng's hand, resisting the urge to lift him off, and said with a smile, "Naturally, Zang'er is Mimi's eldest son, and he also has the blood of the Tian family, so it can't be more orthodox."

This is to stop the mouth of the minister who said that Xi Zang's blood is not right.

Seeing this, the rest of the ministers have nothing to say, the emperor can't give birth to another concubine in the harem, just because it is the blood of King Rong, they will make a fuss all the way. If you want to adopt, that's great.

After all, there are 10,000+ troops waiting outside the city.

Immediately, the winking minister knelt down and shouted, "Congratulations to the saint, congratulations to the saint, the saint is happy to have the eldest prince, and I am a great Yin forever!"

The emperor was overjoyed, and laughed loudly, "Come here, clean up the East Palace, so that my emperor can take over in the future."

If it is said that the first adoption is like a rolling stone falling into stagnant water, splashing water and causing waves, then this sentence entering the East Palace is like cold water entering a frying pan, and there will be crackling oil stars, which will make people dizzy.

This child, who is only at the beginning of the full moon, has already decided on a future, and is still in the ninth-fifth position that the world can't look up to.

The ministers couldn't react, so Qin Shou got up quietly right here. He lifted the hem of his robe, knelt down on one knee and kowtowed in thanks, "This is a double happiness, to show that my great Yin will be prosperous for a hundred years and ten thousand years."

After the minister reacted, someone immediately scolded Qin Shou for being treacherous and cunning. No matter how he was adopted, Xi Zang had his blood in his body. When Xi Zang really sat in that position in the future, he would not be the same as the Supreme Emperor .

This kind of glory is like smoke from the Qin family's ancestral grave, so it's no wonder that he is willing to give up even the eldest son.

After all, to ask him to rebel and become the emperor himself, he is really at ease as such an unknown and real emperor.

Regardless of what other people were thinking, the emperor himself came down and stretched out his hand to help Qin Shou up. He also said, "Don't be polite to me, son-in-law. I should be more grateful to you."

Qin Shou never showed any expression, even at this moment, there was no sign of strangeness on his face, "I can't be a minister, it's really a blessing for me to be able to share my worries with a saint."

"It's indeed what the son-in-law deserves!"

Concubine Luo suddenly interjected, her voice was soft and cold, without any joy, it only made people feel suffocated.

She hugged Xizang, stood beside the queen mother, facing the direction of the emperor, and looked at Qin Shou from a distance through 24 landscape screens, with clear ice and snow in her eyes.

"The sage doesn't know that a few days ago, the son-in-law secretly mobilized the Qin family's army outside the city to surround the four gates of the capital. This is a serious crime committed by the following."

No one expected Concubine Luo to say such words at such a juncture.

The situation of that day has long been taken into consideration by some people, but the sage never mentioned it. Therefore, others turned a blind eye and closed their eyes, assuming they didn't know.

Concubine Luo continued, "According to the laws of the Great Yin, anyone who honors a princess is a captain-in-law, and he is not an official if he is invited by the court. Now the son-in-law is also the title of a vassal king with a different surname, which is an exception. Dajun, therefore, the son-in-law discussed with me yesterday, in order to show his loyalty to the eldest prince, he is willing to release himself from the military power, and I hope the sage will approve!"

Shocking news came one after another. When Concubine Luo said such words, the courtiers and family members in the palace seemed to be numb and unmoved.

Through the 24 screens, Qin Shou looked at Concubine Luo's direction coldly, neither denying nor explaining.

Although he already had speculations in his mind, the emperor still looked at Qin Shou suspiciously, and then looked at Concubine Luo and asked, "This matter is not trivial, is it really the result of the discussion between the son-in-law and Concubine Luo?"

Concubine Luo was categorical, "Yes."

She looked in Qin Shou's direction vaguely, touched the little face hidden in her arms with her cool fingertips, and squeezed the cuffs tightly again to stop her trembling fingers, "The son-in-law really told me that Yes, the son-in-law also said that the eldest prince entrusts the blessing of the saint, and that anything too much is too much, so he is willing to risk his own luck, pray for the eldest prince to live in the Luo Temple, forgive the sins of the past, and only wish the eldest prince everything goes well in the future."

If it was another reason, it might be far-fetched and perfunctory, but Concubine Luo used Xizang as an excuse, even Qin Shou could not refute it.

Can he say that he doesn't want his child to be safe?Can he let go and compete with his son for that position?
Everything is impossible!
His ruthless thin lips curved slightly, and a trace of mockery floated up, his phoenix eyes drooped and he said, "Return to the saint, what the princess said is true."

The smile on the emperor's face suddenly became meaningful, he put his hands behind his back, and said majesticly, "I am very pleased that the son-in-law can realize this, and it is not in vain that I placed the emperor in the East Palace. With a consort escorting me, I think we are not far away from the prosperity of the Great Yin."

Qin Shou heard the meaning behind the emperor's words, he was reassuring his heart, and also promised to value Xizang.

The smile from the corner of Qin Shou's mouth slowly spread to the tip of his brow, and his eyes finally became warmer.

A full moon banquet released Qin Shou's military power, and everyone had to look at Concubine Luo a few more times. After all, she did it all by herself. Such means are worthy of being a heavenly family talent.

But the so-called all birds are hidden, mostly that's all.

Some people are envious, and some people feel that Qin Shou was not worthy of being a princess when he was a princess. There are thousands of women in this world, which one is not good to marry, but he happened to meet Princess Luo. Of course, there are those who want to take the opportunity to make trouble— —

"Your minister has played," a minister stood up with a malicious heart, and said loudly, "The son-in-law has been stationed with troops outside the city for several months, and he surrounded the four gates a few days ago. His heart can be punished, and his deeds should be executed!"

Qin Shou had never spoken much, and acted recklessly. He had already offended countless courtiers in the capital. At this time, someone saw that Concubine Luo was targeting Qin Shou, and thought that the Tian family was going to deal with Qin Shou, and seizing military power was just the first step. Didn't Concubine Luo put her under house arrest in the Luo Temple to pray for the eldest prince?

Unexpectedly, before the emperor could speak, Concubine Luo who was far away snorted, picked up the wine cup on the table and threw it over, shouting angrily, "Bold! The son-in-law handed over the military power of the Qin family army to atone for his sin, what do you mean?" , could it be that the saint cut off his head?"

She sneered, and swept all the people in the Palace of Eternal Night with her stern peach eyes, and said loudly, "He, Qin Jiuzhou, is no longer King Rong of Rongzhou, but he is still the dignified son-in-law of this palace!"

"My son-in-law, on the one hand, does not commit crimes, and on the other hand, he is not a traitor. If anyone dares to accuse the son-in-law of unwarranted charges and make me a widow, hum, let's see who I will spare!"

Concubine Luo went against what she did at the beginning, and defended Qin Shou like a calf. She was so capricious, and she clearly cut off King Rong's wings with her own hands just now, which made it hard for people to understand.

The emperor and the empress dowager understood a little bit, and the empress dowager smoothed things over, "Don't be presumptuous, Mimi, and the saint is not confused. The son-in-law is the son-in-law of the Great Yin, and no one will frame him."

Only then did Concubine Luo nod her head, as if she had listened.

The emperor coughed lightly, pulled Qin Shou and said, "Today is Zang'er's full moon banquet, and it should be a celebration. The son-in-law is here to have a few more drinks with me."

Qin Shou replied with a cold face, "I obey."

Seeing that the emperor had never had a grudge against Qin Shou, those who had ulterior motives stopped thinking and calmed down, while some old foxes thought to themselves, looked at the child in Luo Concubine's arms, and silently added the name Luo Concubine in their hearts A few cents.

In the future, the princess and son-in-law, as the biological parents, will have an honorable status. Therefore, the wind direction of the capital must also change.
