The little princess of space where the concubine often eats

Chapter 110

"Even if we are deliberate," the Queen said calmly, "But one thing must be clear to Your Majesty, the reason why Concubine Yan's case will be overthrown is not only our deliberate deliberation, but also another more important reason."

"What, why?"

"The truth. The truth is what it is." The queen's gaze pierced directly into the emperor's heart, "Your Majesty is the emperor, as long as you don't want to admit the facts revealed today, of course no one can force you." But even if you are an emperor, there are always some things you can’t do. For example, you can’t influence the conclusions of the conscience of the world, you can’t change the comments of future generations, and you can’t stop those old people who come to you in dreams..."

"Stop talking!" The emperor's complexion was sallow, his whole body was in a state of chaos, he held his forehead with both hands, and with a loud cry, he fell back, panting convulsively on the pillow.

The queen stretched out a cold hand, gently rubbed the eyebrows of the emperor, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, when it comes to loyalty and filial piety, Concubine Yan is not unfaithful, and Concubine Yan is not unfilial. His mother and concubine are role models, what they did not do back then, Achen and we would never do, please don't worry, Your Majesty."

The emperor slowly let go of the hand covering his face, and looked at the queen fixedly: "Can you guarantee it?"

"If Your Majesty really understood Achen and us, he wouldn't ask for a guarantee from his concubine." The corner of the queen's lips kept a faint smile, but her eyelashes drooped so that people couldn't see her eyes clearly , "Ah Chen and what we are looking for are nothing more than truth and justice. If His Majesty can give it to him, why should we doubt it elsewhere?
The emperor weighed it blankly for a long time, and then focused his gaze on the queen's gentle face for a long time, finally heaved a long sigh, and murmured: "...the matter has come to an end...it's up to you... I won't say anything..."

On the second day of the emperor's birthday, the Inner Court Department formally ordered You Zaifu, Feng Zhuoran, and Zhang Qiang to be the chief judges to review the concubine Yan's case.Regarding this huge case that once shook the entire Daxing, the outside world is not very emotional about it. It is just that there is more talk after dinner. For those who hope and yearn for it, this is a great happiness. At least Ji Lingchen can finally call his mother a concubine mother, and can recognize her as Concubine Yan, instead of not being afraid to mention his mother when he was a child. The past is a dark time.

After the case was over, all relevant personnel were dealt with. The emperor knew that it would be difficult to turn the tables, so he simply obeyed the queen and abdicated to the prince. The emperor ascended the throne and changed the name of the country to Anping.

In this way, the remaining idle princes were seized by the emperor, and all of them were rewarded with plots of land. To put it mildly, they were rewarded with fiefdoms, but in fact they were exiled. Those who were smarter asked the new emperor directly, and stayed in the capital to guarantee their prosperity for the rest of their lives. Wealth and honor don't require any real power.

Now, King Jing has become the only prince with real power in Kyoto. Moreover, this prince with real power is deeply trusted and loved by the emperor. It is not an exaggeration to say that one person is under one man and above ten thousand people. cake.

When the new emperor first came to the throne, all the things that were difficult to handle and test were piled up in front of King Jing, and he was a little bit thoughtful. Even though he heard that King Jing and Princess Jing were deeply in love, he was still unwilling I want to send someone into King Jing's mansion. After all, King Jing's identity is different now. Men know the bad nature of men best. They think that a dignified prince really only has one woman in his life.

When all the dust settled, Qin An'an put down what he was doing and concentrated on taking care of the two children.

In the main courtyard of Prince Jing's Mansion, the large rooms are covered with thick carpets from the Western Regions.All the corners of the furnishings in the room were polished smooth and covered with cotton cloth.There are also various toys on the ground, and the little glutinous rice is placed on the ground, allowing them to play around.Nuomi, who is more than one year old, has already started to learn to walk, and is able to walk steadily on her own.

Qin An'an was also sitting on the ground, watching Xiao Nuomi's giggle, a faint smile appeared on his lips.

"Princess, Mrs. Pei and Princess Yunhua are here." Outside the door, the maid announced softly.

Before people came in, Liang Xiaoer's voice came in from outside, "An An, you are very leisurely." Qin Anan raised his head, and saw Liang Xiaoer Yunhua and Yunhua standing at the door.Can't help laughing: "Why are you here? Come in quickly."

Yunhua looked inside, covered his lips and said with a smile: "It's very lively outside, but you are free. You'd better come out. It's hard for us to come in because there are so many people." The inside was obviously clean and paved for children. Yes, so many people went in and the snow-white carpet was not trampled dirty.Although they are all female relatives now, except for Liang Xiaoer, no one who has been educated by a famous lady since she was a child has the nerve to take off her shoes in front of outsiders.

Qin An'an smiled, picked up the little glutinous rice in one hand and put it in the hands of Yunhua and Liang Xiao'er, and followed him out.Both Liang Xiaoer and Yunhua had children by themselves, and they have become very familiar with Xiaonuomi in the past half a year.The little guy didn't recognize his birth in their arms at all.Liang Xiaoer hugged the pink and tender little glutinous rice and said that she also wanted a daughter.

"An'an...Are you going to be a troublemaker?" Liang Xiaoer asked with a joking smile after changing the subject.

Qin Anan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Who said I'm going to be a beauty?" Liang Xiao'er looked at her with a smile and said: "Now King Jing is a prince under one person and above ten thousand, there is no other prince besides him Yes. King Jing is still so devoted to you. If it’s not a confidante, what is it? We won’t laugh at you. We have a boudoir friend who is a confidante. What a beauty, and I can brag about my past life to my children in the future. "

Qin Anan rolled his eyes and said, "Just because you have a strange idea, I should have told you so many stories earlier."

Liang Xiao'er stuck out her tongue, made a grimace and stopped talking.

After getting Qin An'an's answer, Yunhua was silent for a while, worried, looked at Qin An'an and said, "There are a lot of messages these days, and the royal family's conspiracy has been going on since ancient times. About King Jing’s backyard. I’ve heard a lot of people these days thinking about how to send their daughter in to be a side concubine, even if it’s a housemate. Xiaoer, there are many people who follow Pei’s family, right? "

Liang Xiao'er also nodded silently. These days, there are indeed many people who come to Pei Zihua to make friends.After all, Pei Zihua used to be King Jing's number one counselor, so King Jing treated him differently.It's just that Qin An'an never cared about these things, and everyone didn't want to upset Qin An'an, so they didn't tell her.

In fact, this kind of thing was expected. From the perspective that the palace was not stable yet, and the situation was changing rapidly when he seized the throne, it can be said that everything is possible.Naturally, no one cared whether King Jing married a wife or a whole yard of beautiful wives and concubines.Even if King Jing refuses to marry in order to win over power, it can only be said that King Jing is arrogant and disdains nepotism.But when the situation is stable, whether it is for etiquette patriarchal clan, the interests of the dignitaries, or for the balance of power, it is imperative to recruit the backyard.No matter how strong Ji Lingchen is, it is impossible to kill all the courtiers who oppose it, and it is impossible for this huge country to be supported by the emperor alone.These people understood this point, so they took it for granted that once the new emperor came to the throne, King Jing, as the emperor's right-hand man and the most trusted confidant, would definitely accept beauty and marry a concubine like the princes and heroes of the past.In history, there are not no examples of a couple for a lifetime, but once you really become a master, which one doesn't sit on the beauties of the world?

"An'an..." Yunhua looked at Qin An'an worriedly.

Qin Anan smiled lightly and said, "Don't worry, Ah Chen will take care of these problems."

Liang Xiao'er was a little worried and said, "King Jing..." It's not that she doesn't believe in King Jing's character, but how An'an and King Jing got here after all these years, Liang Xiao'er is also very envious.But being in a high position often means that there are countless last resorts and choices.

Qin Anan said softly: "I believe in him. No matter what happens, we will stand together and face it."

Seeing Qin An'an in such a peaceful state, Liang Xiao'er also felt relieved, nodded heavily and said: "Anyway, An'an, we will support you."

"Thank you." Qin Anan smiled.

"Mother..." The little princess in Liang Xiao'er's arms twisted her small body and stretched out her little hand towards Qin An'an. Qin An'an had no choice but to take the glutinous rice into his arms and said with a smile, "Nuomi, what's the matter?"

Liang Xiao'er looked at Nuomi sitting in Qin An'an's arms with a big smile on her tender face, and couldn't help but said with sourness in her heart: "Sanggong is right, he is really a little heartless. Your mother and your father have something to do." When she couldn't take care of her, Aunt Xiao'er hugged and played with you every day, now that your mother has only been free for a few days, she doesn't want me anymore."

"Auntie...Mother..." The little princess smiled even more happily in Qin An'an's arms, completely ignoring Liang Xiaoer's complaint.

Everyone looked at each other and smiled, and they all laughed, and the laughter instantly diluted the dignified atmosphere.

But obviously Qin An'an also underestimated the determination of these fame-seeking people. No, early in the morning, the new queen mother was surrounded by ladies. King Jing put pressure on it.

"I've seen the queen mother." Although these older generation of clan women are full of grandeur outside and have been in charge of the wind and rain all their lives, they will still unconsciously be a head shorter in front of the queen mother and royal authority.Although the queen mother is usually very kind and amiable, and never has any ill relations with others, these people are all of a certain age, so they naturally know much more about the queen mother than ordinary young people, and there are even some former allies of the queen mother among them.

The queen mother smiled and said: "There is no need to be too polite, all the sisters are busy people, why do you have time to come to mourn this desolate place?"

Everyone didn't dare to talk, even though they were in awe and admiration for the queen mother in front of them, there was also a hint of envy in their hearts.If anyone in this world has the best fortune, the Queen Mother can be counted among them.Not to mention a smooth life, not to mention that all children and grandchildren have become talented, and my son has also become the winner of the new generation of imperial power.

The Empress Dowager ordered her maid to serve tea, and everyone sat down on a stone bench in the bamboo grove to drink tea, speechless for a moment.

After sipping tea for a while, seeing the Queen Mother sitting leisurely and calmly, someone finally couldn't sit still.

"Empress Dowager, we came to disturb you today because we really need something to ask for." One of them stood up and said with a respectful smile.The Empress Dowager looked up at the speaker, her old eyes were unexpectedly calm and transparent, she smiled lightly and said, "You are... Sister Zhao?" This Sister Zhao has a lot of background. Her husband died to save the Taishang Huang. To thank him for his loyalty, the Taishang granted her the title of Taishang and gave her a yellow vest, and made her son a high-ranking member of the court. A lot of credit, the Supreme Emperor directly gave Shangfang the sword to escort them, and he is also one of the best in the elite circle in Kyoto. I think I didn’t dare to easily offend this Zhao Taijun when I was a virtuous concubine. Haven't seen it for many years?"

The woman who spoke was also approaching her sixtieth age. Hearing what the Empress Dowager said, she quickly smiled and said: "What the Empress Dowager said is that the old woman is too old to work anymore, and she basically doesn't go out these years."

The Queen Mother didn't care, and said with a smile, "What do you want to say?"

Zhao Taijun hurriedly said: "Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, it is time to hold happy events to appease the people all over the world. Although the emperor had already chosen his concubine before he ascended the throne, the re-establishment of the imperial court ordered that all matters belong to their own positions, and all officials should settle down to their own positions. As the emperor's brother, King Jing is cared for by the emperor and has many favors. Naturally, he should share the emperor's worries and problems, but yesterday I wrote to His Highness King Jing, King Jing But the king was furious and refused to accept a concubine. I was thinking about whether to ask the queen mother to persuade Princess Jing. This... Princess Jing has made great contributions to Prince Jing's mansion. Naturally, no one would object to His Royal Highness King Jing's preference for Princess Jing, but if The princess is determined to monopolize His Royal Highness King Jing, I'm afraid... it will damage the reputation of the princess and the royal family."

The queen mother pondered for a moment, raised her head and asked with a smile, "Do you all mean that?"

Everyone looked at each other and said in unison: "The Queen Mother is also requested to put the world first, the royal family is a model for the world, and will definitely handle this matter properly."

The queen mother looked at these people in front of her and shook her head with regret. These people were not young, and some of them were not even a few years younger than herself.But is he so devoted to fame and fortune that he is blindfolded by fame and fortune?
"Everyone has been here in the capital for a long time, what do you think of the emperor's political management these days?" the queen mother asked leisurely.

"This... the new emperor is indeed a generation of enlightened rulers. Under the rule of Anping, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and it really looks like a prosperous age."

The Empress Dowager shook her head and smiled, "It's a bit over the top, but it's true to live and work in peace and contentment. King Jing has not taken concubines these years, and the emperor has not chosen a concubine to practice the so-called balancing technique. You also admit that the people live and work in peace and contentment. It can be seen that... taking a concubine, choosing a concubine or not has no direct relationship with the peace of the world."

"This...but." Someone said anxiously.

One of them stood up and said: "The queen mother is right. I really shouldn't say too much about when King Jing will take a concubine. However, His Royal Highness King Jing has been married to the princess for more than ten years, and the backyard is empty and there is only the princess alone. It is a bit inappropriate. .Women value women's virtues, and the princess is like this, it is a bit too domineering. How will I be able to live up to the reputation of being a model in the world in the future."
