Chapter 85 One talk(1/2)
The news that the chaos among the Mao people was quelled spread quickly as the court meeting dispersed.
Naturally, the inner palace also got the news, because the King of Jin'an County also asked the messenger to bring gifts to the Queen Mother and the Empress.
"This little beast!"
In the palace, the imperial concubine had been angry for a long time, and the broken tea bowls on the floor had been picked up, but everyone was still cautious.
"The gift you sent didn't come from me?"
The waiter followed her back and forth with a helpless expression.
"Empress, that is a small pendant produced locally..."
"Things are small, but etiquette is big." The imperial concubine raised her eyebrows and said, "This little beast has learned to be a good person since he was a child and please everyone. Even in the past few years when Prince Qing was injured, he has never lost his courtesy towards me. Why?
Did you forget about me this time?"
"Yes, that shouldn't be the case. Prince Jin'an is so particular about etiquette. Did he forget about the guests?" the chamberlain said with a frown.
This matter is indeed strange. Logically speaking, Prince Jin'an would not do this.
"Weird? Not weird at all." The imperial concubine sneered and said, "It didn't happen before, but it happens now because his wings have hardened, he has gone out, he can handle government affairs, he can lead troops, and he has won battles.
I have become more capable, and the most important thing is..."
She stopped here.
"It's famous."
"My dear, what kind of fame is this?" the chamberlain said with a smile.
"Why doesn't this count?" the imperial concubine raised her eyebrows and said, "This does count! Everyone knows that this boy who delivers children can not only deliver children, but he can also fight and work as an errand!"
"Mother, so what." The waiter said helplessly.
The empress is getting more and more anxious, especially when she hears the news about Prince Jin'an. Even a little bit of news that doesn't matter at first can make her lose her composure.
It seems that what Mr. Gao said before he left to take good care of the empress was not random.
The queen does have some...
"So what?"
The imperial concubine turned to look at him.
Even though she was not a royal concubine, she could still imagine the emperor's joy. Her ears seemed to be filled with the emperor's laughter.
"...I know that the Prince of Jin'an County will live up to my high expectations."
"Master Chen refuted Your Majesty and said that you shouldn't say that." The chamberlain said hurriedly.
The imperial concubine turned around and slapped him in the face.
"But Your Majesty still said it. Regardless of whether he is allowed to say it or not, His Majesty still thinks so in his heart." She said.
Why are there so many stupid people around me?
The waiters chatted and laughed with me.
"It's already April, why hasn't the matter of establishing the crown prince been decided yet?" the imperial concubine said.
"Oh, this has been mentioned before." The chamberlain said hurriedly, "Zhongshu has also approved it. Your Majesty said that we will discuss it after the Maoping disaster is calmed down."
"Discuss again? Why discuss again? What's there to discuss?" the imperial concubine asked anxiously.
"The Queen Mother said that April is the Queen Mother's birthday, so we would like to congratulate her together," the chamberlain said.
"Queen?" The imperial concubine raised her eyebrows, "She said? When did she start talking?"
The waiter chatted.
"Your Majesty, the Queen's health seems to be much better. She even went to see the Queen Mother the day before yesterday," he said.
Can you still go out?
"How come I don't know about this matter?" The imperial concubine was shocked and angry, "Why don't I know about such a big matter?"
When did what happened in this harem escape her eyes?
Is it the queen? Is this woman back in control of the harem?
"No, no." The chamberlain hurriedly reassured, "My Majesty, you are busy meeting Prince Ping, and it is rare for you to sit and have a meal with His Majesty Prince Ping. These small things do not dare to disturb you, and besides, the Queen just went to sit for a while, coming and going.
They were all sitting in sedan chairs, and they were supported by palace maids when they entered and exited. The Queen Mother was shocked, thinking that she was returning to her former glory..."
The imperial concubine burst into laughter, then raised her eyebrows and scolded him.
"What nonsense are you talking about!" she said, "Can you say this?"
The waiter chuckled.
"Is there anything else that I can't say here?" he said in a flattering tone.
The imperial concubine breathed a sigh of relief, but her expression was still gloomy.
"My queen, don't worry, you just don't do anything. Prince Ping is also a prince and will be the emperor in the future. Even if the queen recovers her health, then in this inner palace, it is just an empty name. In fact, it is not you.
The most expensive?" The waiter smiled and reassured her again.
That's natural, but...
"If Prince Ping does not establish a crown prince, I will not feel at ease." The imperial concubine said, holding her hands and looking out the door.
Mr. Gao is right, the empress is mentally disturbed.
"Tell the people outside that I don't want to see Prince Jin'an return to the capital anymore." The imperial concubine said slowly, "I no longer want to hear the good news about Prince Jin'an."
She emphasized the word "good".
Such shocking words and their connotations did not frighten the chamberlain, he was just hesitant and doubtful.
"My dear, are you too hasty? Why don't you take your time..." He whispered.
"Why be slow? It's been ten years, isn't it enough?" the imperial concubine raised her eyebrows and said through gritted teeth.
The waiter didn't dare to say anything and hurriedly answered yes.
"I tell you, I also know what you are thinking about. You are all thinking carefully and safely, but there are some things in this world that cannot be considered carefully. If you miss one step, you will miss every step." The imperial concubine said slowly, "You guys
Do you think that Prince Jin'an is not worth mentioning and it would be easy to crush him to death?"
"Slaves don't dare," the chambermaid hurriedly lowered her head and said.
The imperial concubine snorted and smiled.
"You dare." She said, "But you haven't thought about it. It's been ten years, two or three times, but it always happens that I missed it. I was cured by Dr. Li who wanted to be famous.
However, King Ping came to him halfway and was unable to make a move. He finally left the palace and it was convenient on the road, but he met a group of sleepovers and worked together to kill the wolf...his life was too good and too hard, right?"
When she said this, she turned her head and looked at the waiter.
"His life is too good and too hard. It's getting better and harder. If you want to squeeze him to death, I'm afraid it's not that easy, nor is it as simple as you think."
The waiter nodded and responded solemnly.
"Your Majesty is very thoughtful," he said, "I will send someone to take care of it immediately."
At this point, he paused again.
"There is also the matter of the prince, which cannot be delayed any longer. I will go and ask those adults now."
The imperial concubine nodded.
"It's not that I'm anxious, it's that you underestimate the enemy too much," she said.
The waiter nodded in response.
"I'm going to see the queen." The imperial concubine said, "How can I not congratulate you on such a great good thing?"
The waiter hurriedly called for people to change clothes.
Seeing the imperial concubine being surrounded by the palace maids and chamberlains, the chamberlains stood up straight and shook their heads.
However, it's really a bit weird.
Is there any connection between Prince Jin'an's minor rudeness and the queen's sudden recovery?
The thought flashed through his mind, and the waiter shook his head and smiled again.
What is the connection between this, and even if there is a connection, so what? No matter how good the queen's health is, she is still just the queen. No matter how well the prince pleases the emperor and the queen mother, and no matter how much credit he gets, he is still just the prince.
Apart from making yourself more jealous and making others more intolerable, it really does no good at all.
Probably as the Crown Prince got closer and closer, he desperately wanted to gain some favor in front of the emperor, so as to provide more protection for the future.
From this point of view, it really looks like the grasshoppers are returning to the sun after autumn.
The waiter smiled and took a step forward.
At this time, it was not night and bursts of laughter were coming from the Desheng Building.
In the luxurious first-class box, seven or eight people were crowded around, and everyone was accompanied by a courtesan, and the most eye-catching one among them was naturally Mrs. Zhu beside Cheng Silang.
Madam Zhu's hair was loose with only a jade hairpin stuck in her hair. Her face was also lightly made up, as if she had come in a hurry without having time to put on makeup.
To be continued...
