Kunning Palace occupies a large area, and the main hall is particularly large. The floor tiles past the door seem to be endless, and they look a bit dull.
The queen is sitting on the couch in the middle, wearing a bright red gown with long sleeves and floral decorations, and a nine-tailed phoenix hairpin with filigree beads hanging on her head. She looks less sickly than she did last time and more from the past.
The grace of her position.
Only when he saw Xie Songhua, he smiled again, "The fourth girl is here!"
Xie Songhua breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart, and then respectfully bowed to the queen in accordance with the rules.
After the ceremony, his mood stabilized, and Xie Songhua did not dare to be careless when he thought about the current situation.
Queen Zhao's attitude was very friendly, "I have always been very sick and don't care about external affairs. I heard that Huang Zicheng led people to surround your house and was not allowed to interfere. Are you scared?
"
Xie Songhua was not sure what the queen meant at this moment, so she could only answer calmly, "My father and third uncle are both innocent. This is also necessary for the procedure to cooperate with the investigation. When the case is found out, it will be natural for the saints and saints to come."
Nothing happened, I am still the same as usual, and I don’t feel scared at all.”
The girl bowed her head slightly, stood upright, her voice was neither fast nor slow, and her attitude was neither humble nor overbearing. She spoke every sentence with clear words and a natural attitude, just like a clear spring flowing slowly on the stone slabs.
It makes people feel good about it.
Queen Zhao heard a lot of praise for the fourth girl from her mother last time, and she originally thought that maybe the Xie family was deliberately trying to show off.
After all, she also knew that this fourth girl came from the countryside, and her knowledge, conversation, and temperament must be lacking. The last time they met in a hurry, she fell into the water. How could she tell anything?
So I still have some doubts in my heart.
Now that I actually saw someone, I completely believed my mother's words of praise.
She is also the legitimate daughter of Mr. Xie Ge. Her appearance is very iconic. Even if she does not have the fate of Tianfeng, she is qualified to be a concubine for the prince.
Queen Zhao's tone became softer again. She smiled and came up and took Xie Songhua's hand, "I am worrying too much. You are a sensible child. If you can think this way, I will feel relieved.
As soon as I saw you that day, I fell in love with you, as if there was some kind of destiny. I called you here today! The main reason is to make your heart easier."
Xie Songhua felt disgusted in her heart. What kind of fate could she have with the mother of the country? After all, isn't it still about the prince?
Sure enough, after two polite words, Queen Zhao smiled and said: "Did you meet the prince on the way? He said he was coming to my palace, but he didn't see anyone until now."
Xie Songhua told Han Jian what happened. The queen did not look angry at all when she heard this. Instead, she smiled and said: "The prince has always been capable. Many matters of the emperor are entrusted to him to handle. As a company, Mr. Han
The ceremonial supervisor is in charge of the eunuch, so you will inevitably ask him when something happens."
Xie Songhua was polite and tried hard not to be embarrassed and kept smiling.
Anyway, in this era, chastity and tranquility are regarded as the beauty of women, so talking less will never go wrong.
What's more, her purpose of entering the palace today was achieved. From the Queen's words, it was basically certain that the two Xie Yuncang brothers were almost fine.
Let’s talk about the rest in the past.
She had already left a bad impression on the prince. If she deliberately showed her crotch to the queen again, it would be counterproductive.
If you think she is not worthy of a concubine, but you still want to give her a concubine or something, wouldn't it be an unjust death?
It was about to snow heavily, and the sky outside was getting darker and darker. The palace servants quietly came in through the wall and lit the lanterns one by one.
In the Qianyuan Palace, Emperor Yufeng, who was nearly fifty years old, still looked young, but his slightly heavy breathing gave away his physical condition.
"I haven't played against Maocai for many years. Your chess style is still as stable as ever, just like your temperament."
Xie Yuncang knelt down and sat across from him, quickly cupped his hands and said: "It's not as good as the Holy One."
Emperor Yufeng smiled and said nothing, slowly dropped his voice, and suddenly asked: "What do you think of the governor of Zhejiang Province embezzling money for repairing water conservancy projects?"
Xie Yuncang was shocked. He hadn't heard anything about this matter. Why did he come to the Holy Lord?
Seeing the Holy Lord staring at him, Xie Yuncang's mind was spinning rapidly, "Feng Wenyong, the governor of Zhejiang Province, has been working hard and diligently in Zhejiang in the past few years, and his achievements are obvious to all. Although he is a bit too tactful, I think,
Isn’t this..."
He paused again as he spoke, "But since the Holy One said this, there must have been some evidence. I don't know the details, so I can't make unreasonable opinions."
Feng Wenyong was from the Crown Prince, and could be regarded as one of the Crown Prince's cadres, firmly controlling the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas.
Xie Yuncang was really surprised when the Holy Emperor suddenly asked about this.
Emperor Yufeng just looked at him indifferently, and after a while he said: "It's your turn."
Xie Yuncang finally came back to his senses. After all, his mind was unstable, so this incident was not very appropriate.
Emperor Yufeng chuckled slightly when he saw this, "You have always been cautious and always seek stability, but when it comes to big things, you can distinguish the priorities. This is your advantage."
Xie Yuncang listened respectfully to the Holy Master's words and did not dare to interrupt.
Sure enough, I heard the king on the opposite side continue to say: "This matter has always involved the crown prince and the third prince. Either you will never get involved, or you will not offend both parties. If I ask you about Feng Wenyong's matter, it will embarrass you.
"
"I don't dare. As a minister, it is my duty to share the worries and solve problems for the Holy One, but..." He paused, "I have never heard of this Feng Wenyong matter, so I don't dare to discuss it arbitrarily."
When he said this, Emperor Yufeng seemed to remember, "You haven't been back for several days, right?"
Xie Yuncang's brain was running rapidly, and he said after hearing the words: "I have official business, so I naturally put important things first."
"You..." Emperor Yufeng seemed to be at a loss for words for a moment, "I have to hold my tongue when talking to you. On the contrary, my friend Wen is more forthright."
Seeing that he was about to admit his mistake again, Emperor Yufeng waved his hand, "That's all, you are just such a character. I know it in my heart. There is no need to do that. Let's continue playing chess! Things in the court are really embarrassing.
I'm upset, so I'll let them make trouble for a while."
Then he changed the topic again, "Seeing that it's almost the twelfth lunar month, I heard that the old lady in the mansion is ill, and that bastard Huang Zicheng only came to tell me today."
Xie Yuncang was shocked when he heard this, "My mother... my mother..."
Seeing his nervous look, Emperor Yufeng smiled lightly and said, "I have long heard that Maocai is filial, but it is rare to see other expressions on your face. I won't stay any longer. You can go back to your home later!"
Xie Yuncang quickly stood up, gathered his trousers and saluted, "My lord, thank you, Your Majesty."
"Don't be too busy. Come with me to finish this game of chess." Emperor Yufeng pushed the chess basket towards Xie Yuncang.
Xie Yuncang had been locked up in the palace during this period and knew nothing about the situation outside. Now he learned that the old lady was ill and was already worried.
But he still has to be patient and accompany the king to play chess.
Emperor Yufeng saw the anxiety between his brows and eyes, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, he dropped his head steadily, and said casually: "I heard that your legitimate daughter has been carried by the wrong child since she was a child?"
