Chapter 557: The arrival of the queen and the trip to visit the bride
"The Queen is here!"
In Fengzao Palace, a eunuch's slightly shrill voice cut through the night, and Queen Fan Zhixuan walked in with slow steps.
Yuanchun was quite surprised when he saw this sister who didn't hang out much on weekdays. The moon was already over the willow branches, how could she have the leisure to come to his place?
And as far as she knew, the outside world was not stable now. News came from the palace that because the prince was killed, the vassal king had mutinied and launched a three-pronged attack on the capital.
And the initiator of this incident, Jia Qi, suddenly seemed to have disappeared from the world.
Many people in the court have begun to criticize Jia Cui, saying that he ignored the peace of the world, caused such disasters, and escaped in the middle of the battle. He should be killed as a warning to others.
Of course, this proposal was not passed. As the emperor and several cabinet ministers in charge of the government, they knew in their hearts that these vassal princes had long been disobedient, and the rebellion was just in advance.
As for Jia Qi, no one knows where he went, but everyone in the court knows that Jia Qi is not that kind of person who runs away from the battlefield? No one can put this big hat on his head.
At that time, Jia Qi, a thousand-man cavalryman, dared to ride rampant outside the Great Wall.
Those enemies were much more cruel than the vassal kings nestled in the Central Plains. In the end, they were chased by Jia Qi for thousands of miles and even almost wiped out the clan.
Some time ago, he traveled overseas, crossed the boundless ocean, and brought back sacred objects. Therefore, the censor who admonished him in the court did not create much waves when he said this.
Even those nobles who didn't have a good deal with Jia Qi were quite speechless towards the censor, and there were almost no people who agreed with him. If you want to slander or step on someone to climb up, then you should always use some thought.
, think of a good way to say it!!
That killer Jia Qi, even if he is alone, dares to face thousands of troops, such a person will run away...Are you sure you don't regard all the princes in the court as fools? Or do you think that everyone in the world is a fool?
Finally, a censor from the Xungui lineage said that Jia Qi was disrespectful in resisting the imperial edict, despised the imperial power, despised the emperor, and wanted to punish the nine tribes. This would not make the censor look too ugly.
Of course, Emperor Ming Kang still did not accept this advice. It does not say where Jia Qi is now or whether he escaped before the battle. Killing a general before the battle is a taboo for military strategists. The ones who lead the troops in battle are generals, not these pen-playing scholars.
"Meet my sister!!"
Yuanchun knelt down and gave her a blessing. Although she was named a noble concubine, she was still inferior to Fan Zhixuan in terms of status.
Fan Zhixuan is the queen of the dynasty and has a distinguished status, so she deserves a courtesy from her.
Fan Zhixuan raised her hand gently and said: "Sister, there is no need to be polite, just stand back!"
Then Fan Zhixuan stepped forward and sat down on an Eight Immortals chair. She looked at the maids and eunuchs waiting in the room and waved her hands.
"You guys go down first! Wait outside the house while I talk to Concubine Yi. Don't come in unless I call you!"
When the maids and eunuchs heard this, they bowed respectfully and then retreated. Facing the master of the harem, they could not think of a single refutation.
"sit down!"
After everyone left, Fan Zhixuan sighed softly when she saw that Yuanchun was still a little cautious.
Yuan Chun saw that Fan Zhixuan didn't seem to have any other intentions, so he sat down on another chair. At this moment, there were only two of them, two women, left in the room.
"Did my sister hear about what happened in the capital?"
Fan Zhixuan was silent for a while and then suddenly spoke.
Yuanchun nodded slightly.
Her eyebrows were lowered and her voice seemed a little heavy.
"Already heard about it."
Although the palace walls are high, they can't stop rumors. Especially in this place, the palace maids and eunuchs who have to spend most of their lives here, besides these things to chew on, what else do they pursue?
"Do you know the whereabouts of Champion Hou?"
Fan Zhixuan sat there quietly, like a cloud blowing in the wind without making any waves.
But Yuan Chun felt a little nervous from the other party's words, and she still cared after all. After all, for her, Jia Qi was her first man.
But she didn't know Jia Qi's whereabouts, or there was no other way to find out. Emperor Ming Kang had never slept here since she became a concubine.
Even if you want to learn something from the emperor, it is impossible.
"I don't know."
Yuanchun didn't say much, just whispered two words back.
Fan Zhixuan frowned, and she immediately looked at Yuan Chun, her eyes full of exploration.
"Isn't there any news from the Jia family?"
Hearing this, Yuanchun was slightly startled. There seemed to be something in her words.
Is she doubting whether she is in Jia's house?
However, Yuanchun had already rejected this suspicion in his heart. The two princely palaces did not have that much energy to hide a champion.
She expected that neither Jia Mu, Jia She, Jia Zheng, or Jia Zhen would have the guts to hide people in Jia's house.
But when she thought of this, Yuanchun's heart became complicated again. In her mind, Jia Chu was an upright hero and a man. She was afraid of war, but Jia Chu was not afraid. He had no reason to hide.
Seeing Yuanchun shaking his head, Fan Zhixuan sighed in her heart. She had thought wrongly. If Jia Qi was really in the capital, how could he hide?
There's nothing that that daring bastard wouldn't dare to do.
While distracted, Fan Zhixuan stretched out her hand and gently scratched her lower abdomen. For a moment, Fengzao Palace fell into silence.
Seeing Fan Zhixuan's silence, Yuan Chun didn't know what to say. She felt the same way about what Fan Zhixuan was thinking. After all, their identities were so similar and their experiences were similar.
"The day of visiting relatives is still the same. The emperor just sent Dai Quan to Kunning Palace to convey the imperial edict."
Suddenly, Fan Zhixuan made a surprising statement.
Jia Yuanchun couldn't help but be startled when he heard this. In normal times, this wouldn't be too inappropriate, but now that the world is in chaos, would it be too ostentatious for her to go home to visit her relatives?
"Sister, under the current circumstances, is it inappropriate for me to go home to visit my relatives??"
Fan Zhixuan sighed.
"It is indeed inappropriate, but this is the emperor's will. The imperial edict is issued and you are not allowed to resist or disrespect it. This matter is a bit strange to say. Logically speaking, my sister's trip to visit relatives should not be like this."
"Shouldn't it be like this?"
Yuan Chun nodded slightly and looked at Fan Zhixuan, what did the other party mean? Is there something wrong with her trip to visit her family this time?
"A concubine's visit to the bride has not happened in this dynasty, but according to ancient etiquette, it must be Huangtujing Street, where idlers avoid, and the time is usually in the evening, but I have watched the ceremony before, and when my sister returns home this time, the time is early.
Even the time to return to the palace was postponed to the next day."
"What do you mean, sister?"
"My sister is afraid that there will be trouble when she returns home to visit her relatives this time, and her purpose is him..."
