Upon hearing this woman, Concubine Zhuang's heart skipped a beat.
She knew very well what kind of temperament her son had. Over the years, the only woman who had appeared by his side was Yan Mingzhu.
Could it be that... Jue'er is really with that woman named Yan Mingzhu?
Thinking of this possibility, Concubine Zhuang became uneasy.
Just when he was about to say something, Emperor Zhao said with great interest: "If it is really Xiao Jiu, then I really have to go and have a look. Last time he wanted to take away a piece of Liuxian Yun satin in Qinzheng Hall, so I guessed
Which girl is he giving the satin to? Today we have to see which girl can catch Xiaojiu's eye."
"Your Majesty, what kind of temperament does Jue'er have? It's not like you don't know. He doesn't like liveliness the most. Why would he appear in a place like this? Didn't Your Majesty say that he has prepared a surprise for me? I can't wait to see it.
Woolen cloth."
Queen Pei interrupted at the right time: "Just for a look, if this kid Jue'er really takes a girl on a trip, that would be a great thing. Among the many princes of your Majesty, only Jue'er has not yet been found.
Although His Majesty is the emperor, he is also a father, and he often talks about this matter in front of me. As my aunt, I am also worried about Jue'er. Isn't my sister Zhuang Fei worried?"
Oh, you wish Jue'er could die, so you would be so kind to care about Jue'er's marriage? You can guess with your feet, this must be a trap!
Concubine Zhuang wanted to say something else, but Emperor Zhao became interested, "The queen is right, Jue'er is not young, it's time to talk about marriage. If he really falls in love with any girl, as long as she is the right match, I will
Become a Yuelao and bring the boat over to take a look."
Emperor Zhao gave the order, but Concubine Zhuang had no choice but to swallow back the words that came to her lips. She squeezed the handkerchief tightly, hoping that even if it was really Qi Jue, the woman following him would definitely not be Yan Mingzhu.
!
After boarding the boat, the people on the boat immediately saluted Emperor Zhao.
"See your majesty, may your majesty be blessed and safe!"
Emperor Zhao looked around and said, "Isn't this the servant beside the prince? Why is he here?"
The chamberlain looked at each other first and gave Queen Pei a look that said everything was under control. Then he took a step forward and lowered his head and replied: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness bought this painting boat in order to enjoy it today."
A fireworks feast.”
"The prince's ship? It seems that the queen made a mistake. Xiaojiu is not here anymore."
Concubine Zhuang was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when she heard the chamberlain say: "Back to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Dingbei is also on board."
Emperor Zhao raised his eyebrows, "Oh, where is Xiaojiu?"
The chamberlain deliberately looked into the cabin and said, "His Royal Highness King Dingbei asked his servants to guard outside and did not allow anyone to disturb him. Please forgive me!"
"That's nonsense. How could Jue'er be in the prince's boat? Your Majesty, there must be some misunderstanding..."
Concubine Zhuang had a bad premonition and was about to persuade Emperor Zhao to leave when she heard an extremely shameful voice coming from the boat.
As someone who has been there, when I hear this sound, I know what the people inside are doing!
"You said, Xiaojiu is inside? Besides him, who else is there?"
The chamberlain knelt on the ground and said tremblingly: "And... there are also some dancers invited by His Highness the Crown Prince..."
What, dancer?
During the questioning, the voices inside became clearer and clearer, and there were several different female voices, accompanied by a low growl!
Emperor Zhao's face turned ugly in an instant. As a member of the royal family, he did such an immoral thing with a group of dancers on a boat, which completely disgraced the royal family!
Queen Pei was still fanning the flames: "I thought that Jue'er was not enlightened in matters between men and women. It turns out that he likes this. But after all, this is outside, and it is still on the boat. If it spreads out, it will be harmful.
It’s royal and majestic!”
"Queen, please don't slander anyone. Jue'er will never do such a thing, and the person inside will never be him! Your Majesty, don't listen to other people's slander..."
Concubine Zhuang just grabbed Emperor Zhao's hand, but he threw it away.
"Whether it is this traitor or not, I will know for myself if I go in and take a look. If it is really him, I must teach him a lesson today!"
Concubine Zhuang was shocked and was about to hug Emperor Zhao desperately to prevent him from entering, but a voice like a clear spring flowing from the snow-capped mountains came from behind: "My son, please see your father, the emperor, and your mother, concubine."
Everyone turned around and saw Qi Jue, dressed in dark blue brocade clothes with a figure as graceful as a pine tree, standing at the end of the deck, with thousands of lights behind him becoming his embellishment.
When Queen Pei saw Qi Jue appearing on the deck, her smile suddenly disappeared and she looked like she had seen a ghost.
As soon as Concubine Zhuang saw Qi Jue, she immediately ran over, grabbed his arm, and looked up and down carefully.
"Jue'er, are you not hurt? Is... is someone trying to harm you? Tell me, even if I risk my life, I will never let anyone lay a finger on you!"
Qi Jue patted the back of her hand and said comfortingly: "Mom and concubine, don't be anxious. My son and I are fine."
When Emperor Zhao saw Qi Jue appearing here safe and sound, all the anger in his heart disappeared instantly.
"Oh, it's okay. I just heard someone said that you, Jue'er, were also on this boat, so I came over to have a look. After all, before, Jue'er, you rarely went to hot and lively places."
Qi Jue replied calmly: "My son originally planned to go back to the palace, but on the way I met the prince's brother. The brother invited me warmly. I couldn't refuse, so I followed him on the boat."
"Today is the Double Ninth Festival. It's time to go out and enjoy the scenery. I am very happy that the relationship between you brothers is harmonious!"
The brotherly relationship between the prince and Qi Jue is harmonious? I am afraid that if you tell this to a ghost, the ghost will not believe it. Only Emperor Zhao would lie to himself and tell lies here.
After saying that, Emperor Zhao thought of something again, "Jue'er is here, where is the prince?"
Queen Pei's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly felt bad. She hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the prince may have left beforehand. Don't you still want to watch the fireworks? The viewing position here is not good enough. How about changing to a better position?"
"
With that said, he glanced at the guards, asking them to sneak into the cabin to check the situation.
However, Qi Jue spoke at the same time: "Father, the crown prince and the emperor's brother are in the cabin. The emperor's brother was quite interested today. He only drank half of the wine before he sent his sons and ministers out. There are many others in the cabin.
Without the dancing girl, I don’t know what the emperor wants to do alone."
What else can be done? Anyone who is not deaf can hear the extremely shameful sound here!
Emperor Zhao realized it immediately and turned around to enter the cabin, but Queen Pei hurriedly stopped him.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding..."
Concubine Zhuang sneered and added insult to injury: "Queen, when you concluded that Jue'er was inside, you didn't say so. Now it's the prince's turn, why is there another misunderstanding?"
