Chapter 290 Don't worry, this king knows something
The eunuch of Changchun Palace really didn't expect that the Ninth Prince would do what he said. Not to mention that the reward from the Queen Mother just now was put in a box and returned, even the maid who was sent to the Ninth Prince's Palace was also kicked out of the house.
outside.
"Miss Qiaoyue, let's go."
Nan Xing had a stern face and a cold tone, without any flexibility that a girl should have.
Qiao Yue stood beside the carriage, her face still a little pale and she was thinner than before.
"I, I want to ask, Qiulian will go back to the palace together."
Nan Xing glanced at her.
"Get in the car quickly."
Qiaoyue: It’s really inhumane.
Then he turned around and got into the carriage.
Just after Qiao Yue got on the carriage, a servant from the Ninth Prince's Palace put the box that the Queen Mother had given her on the carriage.
The two servants glanced at Nan Xing, and one of them patted the box slightly.
Nan Xing blinked lightly, jumped on the carriage, pressed the lid of the box with his elbow, flicked his riding whip, and shouted angrily.
"drive!"
The carriage kicked up dust and sped away towards the palace.
In the Ninth Prince's Mansion, Luo Jiuli seemed to have just heard something.
"Your Majesty, is this possible? If the emperor knew about it, would he blame the prince?"
At that time, Xiao Mingxuan was sitting aside, pruning red plum blossom branches for Luo Jiuli.
"Don't worry, I know what's going on."
"As for Qiu Lian, he is the one to blame. He deserves what he deserves."
Luo Jiuli looked worried.
"But this-"
"Otherwise, Qiao Yue won't be able to be sent to the palace. The injuries you sustained will mean that all your plans will be in vain."
"What's more, the Queen Mother sent people to my house privately, and imposed her filial piety and public opinion on me. One by one, she wanted to forget it like this, huh!"
Xiao Mingxuan snorted coldly, put down the scissors, stood up, walked to Luo Jiuli, and took her hand.
"I won't let your blood flow in vain, let alone suffer such grievances and not be able to appeal. I will definitely make her willing to show her attitude towards this matter."
Luo Jiuli was silent.
"I'm afraid that if this happens, the relationship between the prince and the queen mother will become even more tense."
Xiao Mingxuan heard this and gently shook his head to comfort him.
"Don't worry, even if I offend the entire royal family of the Changning Dynasty, I won't be afraid of them at all."
Luo Jiuli was startled, subconsciously pondering the meaning of his words.
He was not talking about the royal family, but the entire royal family of the Changning Dynasty. It seemed that he was excluding himself from the royal family.
Xiao Mingxuan saw her eyes full of suspicion and smiled lightly.
"Little fool, why bother thinking about it? I will take you to a place when the flowers bloom next spring."
When he said this, Luo Jiuli looked at him even more differently.
"Where to go? Where?"
Xiao Mingxuan held her hand, and he couldn't tell what kind of look he had in his eyes.
"Where I grew up."
——
At the same time, inside the Changchun Palace of the Imperial Palace.
The emperor and the empress came to Changchun Palace at the same time to pay their respects to the empress dowager.
"Mother, did your trip to Nanhua Temple go smoothly?"
Someone from the palace served tea to the emperor and queen.
The Queen Mother sat dignifiedly, with kindness and kindness in her eyes.
"It went smoothly. This trip was all thanks to You Mingxin."
As the Queen Mother spoke, she took the hand of a woman beside her, and the woman hurriedly knelt down.
"My daughter, Lu Mingxin, please see the Emperor and the Queen."
Lu Mingxin, the eldest daughter of Prince Lu Yan of Wang An with a different surname, was the former princess of Mingxin.
The emperor's expression remained as usual, looking at Lu Mingxin without any emotion or anger.
"I heard that this time the Queen Mother passed by the nunnery and encountered a dangerous rockfall on the mountain. It was you who came to help."
Lu Mingxin knelt on the ground and said in a meek voice:
"The Queen Mother is protected by gods and Buddhas. Ming Xin only went up the mountain to chop firewood. She accidentally saw her and reminded her. Ming Xin did not dare to take credit."
"Um."
The emperor nodded.
"It seems that your temperament has changed a lot in the past year as you have often been with the Ancient Buddha of Green Lanterns."
Lu Mingxin kowtowed.
"When Mingxin was young, she did something wrong. Now Mingxin has changed her ways and devoted herself to the Buddha. She only asks the Buddha to protect the peace and prosperity of the Changning Dynasty, the health of the emperor, and the happiness and health of the Queen Mother."
"Good girl, get up quickly."
The Queen Mother waved to Lu Mingxin with a smile on her face.
"Your Majesty, the Ai family wants to keep Ming Xin by their side. I wonder what your Majesty's intention is?"
The emperor looked at Lu Mingxin calmly.
"Since she saved the Queen Mother, the merits and demerits are equal to each other. The Queen Mother can make her own decision. I respect the Queen Mother's opinion."
The Queen Mother nodded.
"Mingxin, please thank the emperor quickly."
"Mingxin, thank you for your kindness."
Lu Mingxin knelt on the ground, lowered her eyes and clenched her fingers slightly.
The emperor gave a lukewarm hum and slowly stood up to look at the queen mother.
"Mother, the envoy from Sangnan Kingdom is already halfway on the journey, and will arrive in Beijing in a few days. Recently, I have been busy with government affairs and cannot come to accompany my mother all the time. The queen still needs to be reminded of the harem matters from time to time.
"
On the side, when the queen heard that she was mentioned, she stood up and saluted.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will take care of Your Majesty's affairs in the morning and dusk, and serve your mother at your side."
The Queen Mother saw the couple singing together, with a decent smile still on their face.
"The emperor is busy with state affairs, so there is no need to worry about the Ai family, and the queen does not need to worry about the morning and evening. As long as she serves the emperor well every day and cares about the emperor's health, the Ai family will feel relieved."
The queen gave her a blessing.
"Yes, I, my concubine, will obey your mother's teachings."
The three of them, mother and son, appear to be harmonious on the surface, but in fact they each have selfish motives in their hearts that cannot be disclosed to outsiders.
After saying a few more words, the emperor went to the study and the queen also left the Changchun Palace.
On the way, the emperor's expression was not very good, and the queen also frowned.
"Your Majesty, Hu Bingyu is also in the nunnery, but the Queen Mother picked up Lu Mingxin. What does this mean?"
The emperor glanced at the queen, his expression slightly cold.
"For a person who has no use value, isn't this a normal thing?"
The Queen paused for a moment, and her face became serious.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, I will always pay attention to the actions here."
"Um."
The emperor gave a faint hum and walked towards the royal study room.
At the intersection on the other side, Nan Xing walked in front, followed by Qiao Yue, and on the other side was the eunuch from Changchun Palace.
Behind the three of them were two little eunuchs, one pushing a cart and the other holding a wooden box on the cart. The wheels of the cart creaked against the ground, stirring up dust along the way.
When they arrived outside the palace in Changchun, the eunuch who passed the order went into the palace first to report back.
Not long after, the sound of broken porcelain falling to the ground was heard from the Changchun Palace.
"Okay, that's great! The Nine Kings are indeed the Nine Kings. Relying on their military achievements, they don't pay attention to the Queen Mother of the Aijia."
"The Ai family has already made the biggest concession. He refuses to give in even if he takes a step back. This really chills the Ai family."
