Concubine Zhang Guifei has been sealed in Weiyang Palace since Le Botai's first performance.
No one can enter, and the people inside will not be let out even if they cry to death.
Your Majesty's heart is simply colder than the ice on the North River.
All the preferences turned out to be bullshit. I heard that His Majesty has decreed that the procession to see the bride will start from the palace in half a month.
Judging from the current situation, I am afraid that Concubine Zhang will be imprisoned until her wedding day.
Doctor Zhang knelt down outside the palace gate to beg His Majesty, but not long after he knelt down, he was carried back to Zhang's mansion by several tall and thick guards.
Perhaps because they were afraid of causing too many disputes among the people, the Zhang Mansion was also sealed off. The people of the Zhang family were just like Weiyang Palace, and they were frustrated every day.
Ever since she learned that the Zhang family was secretly placed under house arrest, Concubine Zhang no longer cried or made trouble in Weiyang Palace.
As if she was afraid of affecting the entire Zhang family, she adopted a posture of going with the flow and letting herself be manipulated.
I heard that I haven't eaten or drank for a few days. Today, my grandma opened my mouth and forced me to drink some rice soup.
Those who gave birth to her and those who gave birth to her only look at how she behaves now. If she does not follow the instructions, then these people will not have a good life.
Chu Yunjing thought that with Concubine Zhang's temper, she would eventually compromise even for the sake of these close relatives outside.
The queen wished that Concubine Zhang would end up like this. The hearts of the queen's husband and son were occupied by Concubine Zhang.
The queen has been unable to touch Concubine Zhang for many years, but now she has this opportunity that falls from the sky.
In the past few days, the queen sent people to look for Concubine Zhang with delicious food and drinks. Except for the people from Fengyi Palace and Zhaoyuan Palace, no one could go even half a step closer to Weiyang Palace.
As soon as the Sixth Prince woke up, he went to Zhaoyuan Hall to kneel again. Before His Majesty could put him in solitary confinement, he was dragged away by the Queen's people.
It is also locked up in Yihua Hall, and someone is always watching it.
Officials who had good relations with the Zhang family in the past are now avoiding suspicion, and among them there are some who have been promoted by the Zhang family.
Also out of fear of being implicated in his plea, everyone in the court tacitly understood the situation of the Zhang family, but they all kept silent.
This afternoon someone from the Shangfu Bureau came to report that the imperial crown that had been damaged by those little palace ladies some time ago had been repaired.
She thought for a while, maybe it was Chao Mian who was responsible for the incident between Magpie and Yue'er.
They broke the beads on His Majesty's crown, and they were almost assassinated because of that incident.
So I took some free time after dinner and went to the Shangfu Bureau to check it out in person.
Xu Shangfu learned that Chu Yunjing had come in person, so he went to see Chu Yunjing as if to apologize.
"I have come to see Princess Qi. I have made a mistake in the clothing bureau and I asked you to go there in person. I feel ashamed."
Before she entered the palace gate of Shangfu Bureau, Xu Shangfu and a group of female officials and maids came out to apologize. Xu Shangfu stood and bowed, and the others all knelt on the ground.
She didn't come here to make amends, so she felt annoyed when she looked at the crowd of people.
So she waved her sleeves and said impatiently: "Okay, I have never blamed you, everyone, get up!" She then said to Xu Shangfu: "Take me to see His Majesty's imperial crown."
The people from the Shangfu Bureau stood up and gave way with low eyebrows. After the last time, even the newly assigned palace maid did not dare to make any mistakes.
The young manager of the Department of Decoration took the initiative to lead the way, with Chu Yunjing in front and Xu Shangfu behind. They walked towards Chao Mian, who was placed in the most conspicuous position in the lobby of the Shangfu Bureau.
Black crowned jade beads with gold thread dragon patterns are solemnly held on a sandalwood tray.
After the repaired jade beads were put on the table, no one dared to touch them. Unless they were the attendants who were waiting for His Majesty to change clothes, Chu Yunjing naturally did not dare to make any mistakes.
She took a few brief glances and confirmed that she was sure, and motioned to the manager to follow her to Zhaoyuan Hall.
Even if it is repaired, there will be no more mistakes. Today is different from the past. If there are still mistakes, it will not be as simple as Yue'er's sticks. Even if Chu Yunjing does not lose his temper, the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs will still use it.
The person in charge of the service bureau will be killed with a stick.
The road was quiet, Qian Guanguan held a lamp in front of Chu Yunjing, and the little manager of the decoration department steadily held the tray behind him.
They had the excuse of sending imperial crowns. After the eunuch informed the Master Attendant, a Master Attendant who was about seventeen or eighteen years old came out and led them into the side hall.
The side hall is a place where His Majesty's clothes are kept. It stands to reason that Chu Yunjing followed in just to let the Imperial Attendant personally inspect the integrity of the imperial crown.
After all, the one who serves in the imperial palace is different from those in other palaces. Even though she is a low-class maid who changes clothes, her temperament and appearance are all top-notch.
The Master Attendant was speechless all the way. People in Zhaoyuan Palace were always like this. They were very strict and would not talk nonsense to other people in the palace.
It was difficult for anyone to find out anything or to grasp the reason. She followed him all the way, and it seemed that His Majesty had not returned yet.
Xu is at the Queen's place. Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. There are always rules in the palace. Your Majesty must accompany the Queen on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
This was fine, Zhaoyuan Palace was already depressing, and meeting His Majesty made her even more depressing. If His Majesty was there, she would still have to go and say hello, which would save unnecessary meetings.
Qian Guanguan was stopped at the entrance of Zhaoyuan Hall, so only Chu Yunjing and the Headmaster Si Shi came in. The young Master Attendant placed them in the side hall and went to call the Headmaster.
The chief of Zhaoyuan Palace is the female official in charge of His Majesty's royal clothes. Everything that is to be worn by His Majesty must be inspected by her hands.
After the Master Attendant left, Chu Yunjing saw that the waiter was tired carrying the tray, so she ordered the waiter to put it on the table.
After the manager thanked him, he retreated to one side and waited while Chu Yunjing looked at the room.
They came in through the back door. The front door leads directly to the main hall of Zhaoyuan Hall, which is the study room where His Majesty meets with the courtiers to review memorials.
The back door leads to passages throughout the palace, and there is also a small door that leads directly to the place where His Majesty rests.
The last time Ning Ruoshui happened, she fell asleep in that room. Unlike the Shenlong Hall where the concubines were summoned to sleep, the Zhaoyuan Hall was just His Majesty's study, a place where His Majesty could take a nap when he was tired.
Speaking of which, she had never been to the Divine Dragon Palace. Just looking at the study room was already very impressive. How could she have entered the Divine Dragon Palace if it weren't for His Majesty's concubine.
Not long after the little Master Attendant went out, she heard the sound outside the door, which was the sound of compact footsteps.
As she got closer, she heard the sound coming from the door leading to the main hall.
She guessed that the emperor's robe was coming, so she straightened her clothes and waited quietly.
What came out was Qin Yun's pleading voice outside the palace: "Father, I think that Concubine Zhang cannot go and get married!"
When she heard the voice, her eyes widened instantly. It was His Majesty and Qin Yun outside the room!
"When will it be your turn to make my decision?"
There is only a wall and a red door between the two rooms in this hall. I can clearly hear the conversation between the father and his son in the main hall. The Holy Master's tone is low and gloomy, and Qin Yun's radical pleas are sonorous.
Qin Yun had feelings for Concubine Zhang, so he must be the first to stop the marriage. Based on Chu Yunjing's understanding, Qin Yun must want to get the throne and make Concubine Zhang his bride.
Now that Ning Ruoshui is still alive, he is just occupying the seat for Zhang Miaohe. When Qin Yun succeeds in his plan, he will kill Ning Ruoshui to make way for Zhang Miaohe.
But before Qin Yun's plan was implemented, Cheng Yaojin came out halfway, and Le Botai was inserted to make Zhang Miaohe marry him, and His Majesty agreed...
Chu Yunjing felt that maybe Qin Yun could stop this matter. He was the prince and his only son who had the hope of inheriting the throne.
Just as she was thinking about it, Qin Yun's voice came again. Chu Yunjing twirled her fingers. Because she was fascinated by what she heard, she pinched the jade ring on her left index finger with two fingers of her right hand. She faced the door leading to the main hall with a sinister look in her eyes.
"Father, please, please don't let Concubine Zhang go and get married. She is the imperial concubine of Dafeng! If you ask her to go and get married, it's your face, my father's face, and it's my Dafeng's face!" After hearing this!
, Chu Yunjing closed his eyes and secretly scolded Qin Yun for saying some innocuous nonsense, which must have been a rebuttal from the emperor.
"A marriage can buy my three northern cities a hundred years of stability, why not?"
An understatement determines a person's fate, sacrificing oneself to help everyone. In the eyes of the Holy One, it may be just a marriage, but in the eyes of the closest relatives and loved ones, it is a lifelong separation, and they will never see each other again.
She thought of herself, her grandfather and her aunt, wasn't it the same?
A decree tells people to leave, enter the wolf's den, and never see each other again in this life.
Northland...
Is there no other option but to sacrifice soldiers or women to get married?
Qin Yun spoke indignantly: "The three cities in the north are still guarded by the Zhenbei Army. In the past eight years, Beiyue has not taken a step forward. Why should we trade the imperial concubine for this peace?"
"Zhenbei Army?" His Majesty shouted angrily, interrupting Qin Yun's words. It was obvious that His Majesty was angry: "Huh! Do you know how many soldiers I have sacrificed in Dafeng over the years? How many withered bones stand on Beihe? One
As a noble prince raised in Kyoto, have you even experienced the cruelty of war for a moment? As an heir to the emperor, you don’t think about the suffering of the people and soldiers, but take it for granted? I think you have lived enough of this peaceful life.
You should be sent to the north to experience the war on the frontier for your fifth brother!"
Qin Yun only felt that the Zhenbei Army's guarding had become the norm. As long as the Zhenbei Army was there, Beiyue did not dare to offend and should not risk Zhang Miaohe's life. But he forgot that the Zhenbei Army was the backbone of countless families.
He is the husband of so many women, the son of so many old women...
Perhaps His Majesty chose to sacrifice Zhang Miaohe for the sake of these small families...
If Qin Yun were to inherit the throne, he might not be able to handle these wars with his mind, and it might cause even more families to be scattered. He is a person who can handle things forcefully and never implicitly.
Maybe His Majesty just doesn't like this about him.
"Fifth brother...Fifth brother again..." Qin Yun sneered: "Is there ever a day when my father will not favor the fifth brother?"
"Presumptuous! You are the worst offender!!"
There was another roar, and the entire Zhaoyuan Palace was shaken. As soon as His Majesty finished speaking, he heard a crisp sound of a porcelain cup falling to the ground. Chu Yunjing was so shocked that he suppressed the fear in his heart.
The director behind her was hiding in the corner and shivering in fear. If someone pushed the door open now, they would be guilty of eavesdropping. Fortunately for Chu Yunjing, he was from the royal family after all, but this little
