Phoenix Hairpin Chapter 461: Couple (1)
It has been more than a month since Emperor Yongjia returned to Beijing.
It was the first time the Empress was alone.
Queen Qiao smiled and saluted as if nothing had happened: "I have seen the emperor before."
Emperor Yongjia stretched out his hand and gave a false support: "The queen quickly get up. You and I don't need to pay attention to these ceremonies."
Queen Qiao got up, and the two looked at each other, feeling a little strange and uncomfortable.
Like a piece of jade, once broken, no skilled craftsman can restore the jade to its original state. After some repairs, it can barely be seen, and the cracks are all over the place.
"These days, I was busy with government affairs and neglected the queen. Not only did the queen have no complaints, but she also took out all the gold and silver in the private treasury." Emperor Yongjia sighed: "The queen's affection, I I remembered it all."
Queen Qiao cheered up and said with a smile: "My concubine is the Queen of Wei, and now there is a shortage of money in the court, and there is no silver available in the House of Internal Affairs. It is also appropriate for the concubine to use the private treasury. If the emperor is unhappy, let the House of Internal Affairs give The concubine wrote an IOU. After two years of delay, the emperor will return it to the concubine, the same is true."
"If the emperor still feels bad about it and adds two cents of interest to the money, the courtiers and concubines will not refuse."
Emperor Yongjia laughed: "Okay, okay, I will ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to send you a note. And the Crown Princess Lu, you must also write an IOU."
I owe it to Queen Qiao, but it's easy to say. You can never owe your daughter-in-law.
Queen Qiao said with a smile, "The concubine will have someone call Mrs Lu, and the emperor will tell her personally."
Emperor Yongjia had no way of rejecting it, so he was more generous: "I asked Eunuch Liu to announce the decree. Tonight, I will have dinner in the Jiaofang Palace, and let the four members of the prince's family come over. Be more lively."
It's not interesting for the couple to stare at each other.
Queen Qiao readily responded: "What the emperor said is that the concubine will send an order to let the imperial kitchen prepare meals."
The courtiers and chamberlains quickly withdrew.
The two of you just look at me and I look at you. It's not like that. Emperor Yongjia had nothing to say and asked about Queen Qiao's health.
Queen Qiao replied with a smile: "My concubine can eat and sleep, and my health is very good. It is the emperor who has fought abroad for more than two years. After returning to Beijing, he is busy with government affairs and has to take care of the harem. How can he work so hard day and night? You can bear it. The emperor must pay attention to some dragons."
Emperor Yongjia: "..."
Why did the virtuous, generous and tolerant queen of the past suddenly become sharp and sharp?
Emperor Yongjia slept in Yanxi Palace for more than a month and threw Queen Qiao's face to the ground. Queen Qiao is not made of paper, so how can she not have the slightest temper. At this time, if he was neither soft nor hard, Emperor Yongjia's teeth hurt.
Emperor Yongjia coughed and said with a smile, "I feel so relieved that the Queen cares about me so much."
Queen Qiao stopped as soon as she clicked, instead of holding on to the topic, she talked about the little princess who was more than one year old.
Emperor Yongjia stretched his brows and said with a smile, "Xiao Ping'an was born like Wang Jieyu, with clear eyebrows and no arrogance at all. I also love her very much."
Queen Qiao said with a smile: "When the emperor has free time, he will go to see the little princess more."
Just in time to see Wang Jieyu.
Emperor Yongjia responded with a casual smile.
……
After a stick of incense, Li Jing, Lu Mingyu and his wife came with a pair of children.
No matter how much estrangement in my heart, my face is full of peace. What's more, with elder brother and elder sister Xuan around, the adults would not be silent if they didn't speak.
"Grandson greets royal grandfather and grandmother." Brother Kui knelt down and kowtowed three times.
Sister Xuan also knelt down and kowtowed, and her voice was even louder than Brother Jie: "Xuan'er greets the grandfather and grandmother of the emperor."
Emperor Yongjia smiled cheerfully: "Get up quickly and come to the emperor's grandfather's side."
Brother Jue and Sister Xuan dress exactly the same as before. It's a little bigger now, and the dress is noticeably different. It can be distinguished from the clothes at a glance.
Brother Jue has a handsome face, bright eyes, and a straight little body.
Sister Xuan is a little fatter, wearing a small red dress, her hair that is half short and not long is combed into two small tugs, tied with red ribbons, and each is decorated with a few small silver bells. It tinkles as soon as you walk, which is very cute.
Emperor Yongjia was dissatisfied with his son and daughter-in-law, but he was full of love when he saw his grandchildren, and he happily patted his brother and sister's heads.
Brother Jue didn't move, but Sister Xuan was unhappy, and ducked her head down: "Grandfather, don't mess with my hair."
Children's words are very funny.
Emperor Yongjia laughed: "It's my fault, I shouldn't touch your hair."
Brother Jue was afraid that Emperor Yongjia would be unhappy, so he put his head close: "Imperial grandfather, sister Aimei, don't let anyone touch her hair. If you want to touch, touch me."
Emperor Yongjia smiled again and patted Brother Jue's head: "Brother Jue knows how to take good care of his younger sister and is a good brother." He smiled and praised Lu Mingyu: "You taught a pair of children very well."
Lu Mingyu replied with a smile: "My father-in-law praises others, and my daughter-in-law must be polite. Complimenting their brothers and sisters, my daughter-in-law is disrespectful."
It's still that calm and unassuming look.
Emperor Yongjia sighed inwardly.
Among his daughters-in-law, Lu Mingyu is the one he admires the most. He has good skills, strong courage, speaks and acts neatly, and is more decisive than men.
It turns out that Lu Mingyu is indeed an excellent crown princess. In the past two years or so, she has taken care of her children, taken care of Queen Qiao, stabilized the court, and stabilized the hearts of the people. Not to mention, he also beheaded Yan Tuo and made a great contribution.
Unfortunately, people with great skills have too much temper. Lu Mingyu's act of poisoning Concubine Su made him hard to let go.
However, King Xingyang was the first to submit a memorial and pushed back the reward, which saved the court and his face as the emperor. This favor, he can't help but take it~IndoMTL.com~ Lu Mingyu also took the initiative to donate the East Palace's warehouse and his own private house, one after another, so that he can't stand up to speak...
Emperor Yongjia calmed down and looked at the prince again: "I gave you the job of repairing the emperor's mausoleum, why don't you even go to court? Don't take the opportunity to be lazy. Come to Wenhua Palace tomorrow. Listen to politics."
What a grandiose statement.
On that day, Emperor Yongjia ordered him to repair the imperial mausoleum, which was obviously meant to expel him from the court. If he wants to face, he has to take the initiative to step back.
In the past month or so, he, the prince, has never been to the court, nor has he entered the Wenhua Palace again. All the ministers saw it in their eyes and were indignant at the prince's fate. The officials of the Eastern Palace were even more indignant.
If it wasn't for his father-in-law taking the initiative to file a memorial, or for Queen Qiao, Lu Mingyu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, both of whom contributed money, the Yongjia Emperor's indifference to him would have lasted for a long time.
Li Jing was stunned, and replied: "My son is dedicated to being a messenger, how dare I be lazy. Since the father has said something, my son will go to Wenhua Hall tomorrow."
