The emperor's husband wants to hug

Chapter 123 Too Disappointed
"After wandering around for a long time, it will naturally be annoying. After thinking about it, I still feel that being a Zhen Guohou that everyone admires is much better than being a prodigal son, so I came back."

As he spoke, he hooked the corners of his lips and asked, "Could it be that the Empress Dowager doesn't want me to come back?"

In her heart, the Empress Dowager certainly did not want Bai Yan to return to the palace.

Although he left the palace back then, saying that he wanted to go wandering around the world, but the former emperor had ordered that as long as he was willing to come back, then he would be the Marquis of Huanyue Kingdom forever.

What's more, he still has the gold medal and the yellow mandarin jacket bestowed by the former emperor.

"Master Hou is overthinking. Being able to come back to assist the emperor is the blessing of the Huanyue Kingdom and the blessing of the people. It's too late for the Ai family to be happy. How can you not want Master Hou to come back?"

"It's the honor of the minister to be praised by the Queen Mother."

Bai Yan kept a modest smile on his face, which made the queen mother hate him more and more.

"The dignified Marquis of the country should prepare well for his return to the palace, and let the ministers and the common people know that this is the right time."

Turning her head, the Empress Dowager looked at Nanny Qin who was waiting at the side, and said, "Nurse Qin, please go down and have a big banquet tonight to clean up the dust for Marquis Zhen."

"The empress dowager's heart is appreciated. I will go to the emperor to discuss government affairs soon. I'm afraid I don't have time to attend the banquet. What's more, I have been away from the palace for a long time, and I feel a little uncomfortable when I just come back. I don't bother the empress dowager."

The Empress Dowager's words were not what she wanted, and Bai Yan knew it well.

He originally wanted to agree to see what tricks the Queen Mother would play, but thinking of going to Jinxi Palace, he reluctantly refused.

"Your Majesty just came back, and you have to discuss government affairs with the emperor. It's really hard work, but I'm sorry for my family, and I'm a bit lacking in consideration. Then, according to your wishes, the grand banquet will not be held."

In her heart, the queen mother understood Bai Yan's intention for coming back this time. Although she was polite to Bai Yan in her words, she always had a cold face on her face.

"Chen, thank you Queen Mother for understanding."

Although the Queen Mother didn't give her a good face, Bai Yan kept a calm expression.

"The Ai family is also exhausted, so I won't leave Lord Hou to sit any longer. Mother Qin, send off Master Hou for the Ai family."

"Yes, Queen Mother."

"Since this is the case, I will not bother you any more, and I will leave."

After sending Bai Yan away, the Empress Dowager sat up from the imperial concubine chair, and the eunuch who was waiting at the side stepped forward to support her, but she pushed her away.

Seeing the eunuch kneeling on the ground trembling with fear, the queen mother sneered, "Come here, drag him down and make him a human pig!"

The eunuch was so frightened that he lost his soul, and before he had time to beg for mercy, he saw two guards walking in and dragged him down.

At this moment, Nanny Qin came in, looking at the eunuch being dragged down, she couldn't bear it.

"Queen Mother, don't get angry, be careful not to get angry."

"Snapped……"

Raising her hand, the Queen Mother slapped Mother Qin on the face.

Nanny Qin immediately knelt on the ground.

"Don't get angry? Can the Ai family not get angry? In the past few days, the emperor not only removed the Ai family's right-hand man, but also invited Bai Yan back. When the emperor leaves the country, will the Ai family still have a chance to let Yu'er take over?" ?”

The Queen Mother was angry, but Mother Qin was still afraid.

But she has served the queen mother for a long time, and she also understands the queen mother's temperament.

"Please calm down the queen mother, don't hurt yourself. The old slave feels that the queen mother wants the prince to seize the throne. How can a mere township marquis stop it? What's more, the prince has just returned to the palace. It is simply impossible to defeat the prince."

Casting a cold glance at Nanny Qin who was kneeling on the ground, the queen mother curled her lips and sneered.

"Mother Qin, do you know that the Ai family will keep you by my side for more than ten years?"

Shaking her head, Mother Qin felt a little scared.

"The empress dowager's appreciation is the blessing of this old slave for a lifetime."

Suddenly, the Empress Dowager bent down, picked up the golden stick at the side and lifted Nanny Qin's head, and said coldly: "Because, only you, when you guessed Aijia's thoughts, can still say that Aijia is very sad." What I like to hear."

"The empress dowager forgives you, this old slave dare not speculate on what the empress dowager thinks about you."

Withdrawing the golden rod, the anger on the Empress Dowager's face was obviously reduced a lot.

"Get up, send someone to pass on Yu'er, let him enter the palace immediately!"

"Yes, the old slave is going."

The sky gradually darkened.

Hua Mujin has been busy in the kitchen for most of the afternoon, and she has prepared all the things to be prepared for the evening, and is waiting for Bai Yan and Bai Zhanke to come back and enjoy.

"Your Majesty, it's getting late at this time, why hasn't Master come here yet?"

Inside the dormitory, Zi Ning sat restlessly, staring at the door of the dormitory with a pair of eyes, as if to see something.

Xu Shi was really tired, Hua Mujin half-lyed on the imperial concubine chair, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she fell asleep.

Listening to Zi Ning's question, Hua Mujin didn't open her eyes, but only moved her lips.

"Look at you as anxious as a little daughter-in-law, they should be soon, don't worry."

Zi Ning turned her head and looked at Hua Hibiscus who was still asleep, her face flushed.

"Your Majesty, don't make fun of Zi Ning anymore. You have made fun of Zi Ning many times in one afternoon."

Opening her eyes, Hua Mujin pursed her lips, looking at the shy person in front of her, she felt teasing instantly.

"The thirteenth emperor's uncle is not young anymore, and he is still single now. I am planning to introduce some suitable women to the emperor's uncle. I will ask someone to bring the portrait in a while. Miss Zining, you get along with the emperor's uncle." It's been a long time, let's take a look at it later, okay?"

"boom……"

Zi Ning was stunned suddenly, and the teacup in her hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

She hurriedly knelt on the ground and reached out to pick up the fragments of the tea bowl, her face was full of disappointment.

"The girl is so clumsy that she dropped your tea bowl, please forgive me."

"hiss……"

For a moment, Hua Mujin sat up from the imperial concubine chair, looked at Zi Ning who was kneeling on the ground with her fingers cut, and felt guilty in her heart.

Standing up and squatting in front of Zi Ning, he took her hand and ordered: "Green Bamboo, go get the hemostatic powder."

"Your Majesty, Minnv didn't do it on purpose, please..."

"Don't talk, bas the wound first, this is my fault, I shouldn't be joking with you."

Although the wound was not deep, Hua Mujin still blamed herself.

"Since you are worried about Uncle Thirteen, once the wound is bandaged, I will lead you to pick him up, okay?"

Looking up, Zi Ning looked at Hua Mujin who was helping her bandage the wound in disbelief, pursed her lips and smiled, nodded and said, "Thank you, Madam."

After bandaging the wound, Hua Mujin led Zining all the way from Jinxi Palace towards the imperial study.

In fact, not long after Bai Yan left, Bai Zhanke also left because of something to deal with, and Bai Yan hadn't returned for a long time, so Hua Mujin guessed that the two of them must be together now.

"Your Majesty, Master seems to be over there."

From Jinxi Palace to the Imperial Study Room, one has to pass through the Imperial Garden.

Hua Mujin glanced at Zi Ning, followed her gaze, but did not see anyone.

"Did you read it wrong?"

Shaking his head, Zi Ning pointed to the gazebo in the distance, and said: "No, absolutely not wrong."

When Hua Mujin raised her eyes and looked again, she indeed saw the figures of Bai Yan and Bai Zhanke in the pavilion, but there were not only the two of them in the pavilion.

By accident, Hua Mujin moved a step and walked towards the gazebo.

"Uncle Thirteen, can you please avoid me for a while?"

In the gazebo, Nangong Qianhua blinked her big eyes at Bai Yan, her appearance was very playful and cute.

Bai Yan glanced at Bai Zhanke, nodded with a smile, and then walked out of the pavilion.

Bai Yan looked around boredly, and happened to see Hua Mujin and Zi Ning walking towards him.

He stepped forward and walked over, and asked with a smile: "If you're not staying in Jinxi Palace, why did you come out?"

Hua Mujin's heart at this moment has already flown to the two people standing close together in the gazebo, so she still has the heart to answer his words.

However, she really wanted to know what Nangong Qianhua and Bai Zhanke were talking about.

"What are they talking about?"

Shrugging, Bai Yan shook his head, expressing his ignorance.

This made Hua Mujin's curiosity even heavier.

But she knew she couldn't go forward.

"Brother Zhan, stop talking, Qianhua knows how to measure. What's more, when you got rid of the ministers around the queen mother who supported her, the prince probably made the safest preparations. You want to seize his handle and get rid of him , It is extremely difficult. If I make a move, he must be defenseless."

Looking at Bai Zhanke, who was a little worried about her, Nangong Qianhua's heart warmed up, and her eyes showed determination.

Bai Zhanke's eyes deepened, and he frowned and asked in a low voice: "If this matter is revealed, have you thought about the consequences?"

Raising her eyebrows, Nangong Qianhua showed a relaxed expression on her face.

"Don't worry, I'm fully prepared, and I've found a way out for myself. If it's really revealed, won't you still be there?"

After finishing speaking, Nangong Qianhua met Bai Zhanke's gaze, and her eyes expressed absolute trust in Bai Zhanke.

"Qianhua, I miss you..."

Moving his lips, just as Bai Zhanke opened his mouth to say something more, Nangong Qianhua reached out and placed her slender fingers on his mouth.

"Okay, this is not like the brother Zhan I know. If you are really worried about me, and feel sorry for owed me, how about you promise me with your body?"

"Bullshit!"

In Bai Zhanke's low voice of scolding, there was a kind of pampering.

Duzui, Nangong Qianhua felt a little unhappy.

Turning his head, he happened to see Hua Mujin standing not far away waiting for Bai Zhanke, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a sly smile.

"Brother Zhan, I, I seem to have sand in my eyes, and I can't open them. Help me see."

Nangong Qianhua squinted one eye, the discomfort on her face didn't seem to be faked.

Bai Zhanke frowned, with a deep expression on his face. After thinking about it for a long time, he bent down slightly and helped her take a look.

Because their backs are facing each other, Bai Zhanke has no idea that Hua Mujin is not far away, and from Hua Mujin's perspective, they are kissing...

Hua Mujin was stunned, unable to believe what she saw.

That man who keeps saying he loves her is actually kissing another woman?
In his eyes, all that flashed was disappointment.

Suppressing the anger in her heart, Hua Mujin squinted her eyes, turned and left without hesitation.

"Master, my lady..."

Glancing at the two people in the gazebo, Bai Yan shook his head helplessly, "Ning'er, follow Concubine Xi back to Jinxi Palace first."
