Jiang Hexi looked at Zhang Qiaoqiao's smug look, and the disgust in her heart could be said to arise naturally. But when she thought that the emperor was still by her side, this was something that the emperor decided himself, she almost turned her face to the emperor a few days ago.
He sarcastically said: "Oh, Concubine Zhang, don't say that. I'm afraid no one can change what the emperor has decided."
The emperor gave Jiang Hexi a blank look, took Zhang Qiaoqiao's hand and said, "Miss Qiaoqiao, don't worry, since I invited you there, I can guarantee your safety."
While speaking, he rode his horse and ran towards the palace.
I heard that the emperor's carriage was broken at the post station along the way, and the car had been ready for a long time.
Huo Jingchen looked at the carriage and although he was unwilling to do so, he still let Zhang Qiaoqiao and the emperor sit inside.
After all, the emperor's southern tour solved the Yellow River floods, which was a great merit. The songs of thanks on the river can be said to be endless.
The emperor happily waved to the riverside on the curtains, while Zhang Qiaoqiao hid in the car, showing a feeling of unwilling to see people.
Jiang Hexi cheered beside him and said, "Your Majesty, they are all praising you!"
The emperor nodded and said with a smile: "That's right, I have spent a lot of effort on this southern tour. The floods of the Yellow River are the vital interests of the people."
Huo Jingchen nodded meaningfully: "Well, there are vital interests and additional benefits. Do you think the people will bless you and bring a concubine back?"
The emperor looked at Huo Jingchen helplessly and taught a lesson: "I said, "You are a great general, why are you like a girl, so long-winded, and you are still a resentful woman."
Jiang Hexi pretended to be fine and continued to look at the scenery outside the window.
As I walked, I felt the breath of the capital.
Although it is still in the suburbs, the suburbs of the capital look particularly prosperous.
Before Jiang Hexi could react, the team that was greeting in the palace had already arrived in front of him: "Welcome the emperor to return to the court!
The emperor nodded happily, then changed into a fast horse and ran to the gate of the palace.
On both sides of the palace gate, various guards stood in two rows. Jiang Hexi and Huo Jingchen lifted the curtains, and then the emperor walked out.
The queen was about to go up to greet her, but suddenly she saw Zhang Qiaoqiao coming out next to her.
He also shouted with a diligent look: "Queen Qiansheng!
The queen asked in surprise: "Who is this? Your Majesty, why did you bring a stranger back?
The emperor quickly explained: "This is a famous actor in Suzhou named Zhang Qiaoqiao. I brought it back because I wanted to watch her perform."
The queen looked at the emperor's eyes and knew that she was someone who had other intentions to the emperor. She was already nervous about the emperor's expression and suddenly became jealous and smiled at the emperor: "The emperor wants to do so."
I can’t go anywhere when I watch the show, why do I go to Gusu City to find such a girl? Could it be that I want her to be my sister-in-law?"
Zhang Qiaoqiao went up to pay homage to the queen obediently, and smiled and said, "Empress, Qiaoqiao doesn't want to be a sister-in-law, but she just wants to take care of the emperor's food and daily life. I hope the queen can do it."
The queen sneered: "Whether to fulfill it or not, this matter has nothing to do with me. Aren't you going to come to the opera troupe? What should you do when you run to our harem?"
Zhang Qiaoqiao looked at the emperor with a pair of eyes, as if she was full of coercion and temptation to the emperor.
The emperor smiled awkwardly, and then smoothed out: "Queen, why are you talking like this? Look at my harem is empty, can't you take a few more people?"
The queen nodded, looked at Zhang Qiaoqiao, and smiled and said, "What kind of woman does Your Majesty want not to get? He wants to find an actor? Could it be that the emperor wants to treat the country as a joke?"
The emperor was furious and pushed the queen away, cursing and said, "Damn jealous woman, I can't tolerate such a thing, and I actually retorted to my concubine. I tell you, I will make the decision on this matter.
Now!"
As he said that, he walked over to the queen.
The queen and the emperor have been married for more than ten years and have always been loving and loving. But they never thought that there would be conflicts, but they suddenly became like this. They suddenly felt sad and tears flowed down their faces.
Jiang Hexi and Huo Jingchen were also quite dissatisfied with this matter, and they squatted down to comfort the queen. While comforting the queen, they said: "Queen Queen, don't be sad. I'm afraid only the Queen Mother can manage this matter. Why don't we go and find the Queen Mother?"
The queen wiped away her tears and let her eunuchs run to the empress dowager's palace quickly.
The emperor was pulling Zhang Qiaoqiao on the aisle of the palace when a ceremonial guard of the empress dowager suddenly came to him: "The empress dowager is here!"
The emperor knelt down in surprise, saluted to the Empress Dowager and shouted: "Son, please see the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager is thousands of years old!"
The Empress Dowager walked out of the sedan chair and smiled and said, "Do you still have me, the Empress Dowager in your eyes? You don't have to ask the Ai family about all kinds of affairs in the palace?"
The emperor shook his head quickly and asked, "I don't know what the mother said, but the child has always been cautious in his words and actions and dared not do anything wrong."
The Empress Dowager sneered and pointed at Zhang Qiaoqiao beside her: "We have always been selected in the harem, and we are selected from all over the country. Why do you want to be independent today?"
The emperor explained: "This, Mother, listen to my explanation. This girl is a person who can play the flute. I think that the palace needs some entertainment projects, which can also bring you a little joy."
The queen snorted coldly: "Happy? I'm afraid I want to leave a laughing stock for our palace?"
Then she pointed at Zhang Qiaoqiao and smiled, "It's a very beautiful face, but the Ai family doesn't know what is in their heart."
The emperor looked at the Empress Dowager with a striking remark and said without any weakness: "My mother, this is the child's own marriage, please do not come forward to obstruct him."
The Queen Mother took two steps back, looked at the pearl above the emperor's head, and smiled and said, "Okay, you have a bright future, now the Queen Mother doesn't care about it? If you dare, I will hit and die on this pillar. I want it.
Let everyone in Daliang see, you are a good emperor who has married a wife and forgot his mother!”
As he said that, he walked to the wall, lowered his head, and prepared to hit him.
Zhang Qiaoqiao quickly knelt on the ground and said to the Empress Dowager: "Empress Dowager, Qiaoqiao is just playing tricks for a while and does not want to enter the palace. Otherwise, I will leave the palace now and don't make it difficult for you to do it."
The Empress Dowager looked at Zhang Qiaoqiao, although she spoke very earnestly, she looked at her face and seemed to have no tears.
What she hates most on weekdays are those who pretend to be pretending. Even though she is not like this, she still has to pretend to be very powerful.
