The queen originally wanted to send the emperor back to his palace, but she didn't expect the emperor to follow him directly. When they arrived at her Fengqi Palace, the originally quiet Fengqi Palace suddenly became busy.
The queen suddenly felt at a loss. She just sat there, looking at the emperor in front of her. The emperor didn't say anything, but just looked at the queen. The two of them just looked at each other, not knowing what else to say.
Finally, the Queen suddenly thought: "Your Majesty, can you have dinner?"
The emperor paused, then shook his head: "Not yet!"
The queen suddenly understood, then stood up and walked out: "Huizhu, please ask the small kitchen to prepare this food..."
"Queen!" The emperor suddenly called to the queen, "I want to eat the wonton noodles you made!"
The queen was stunned, and after a long while she nodded: "Okay!"
The Queen was born in a noble family. In her early years, she had a very unfailing temperament. Later, she entered the palace, became the Queen, and gave birth to two children. However, the appetite of both children was not very good and they did not like to eat royal meals. Room-cooked meals.
In the end, there was nothing she could do, so the queen washed her hands and made soup and learned to cook by herself. The two children also gave her face and ate everything every time.
It was also a coincidence that the emperor happened to come to the palace on the day when the queen cooked, and then the two children ate a bowl of wonton noodles made by the queen.
The taste is obviously very light, but it has a unique flavor.
While the queen was kneading dough in the small kitchen, Huizhu was helping. Just when she turned to get the eggs, the emperor walked in quietly.
The emperor took the egg from Huizhu's hand and let Huizhu go out. He also slowly stepped forward and handed the egg in his hand to the queen.
The queen didn't notice that the person next to her had changed. She said, "Your Majesty and Ran'er are indeed father and son. They even like to eat wonton noodles. They are exactly like him! Ran'er has been like him since he was a child. His temper, temperament, and even the taste are the same." It’s all the same, but it seems like nothing is wrong with me!”
"Ran'er looks just like you!" The emperor suddenly said.
The Queen was startled and turned around: "Your Majesty, why did you come in? How could you come to this kitchen? You..."
"Food is the most important thing for the people, why can't I come to the kitchen?" The emperor looked at the queen and said softly, "Go on, I just came to take a look!"
The queen paused, feeling that the emperor in front of her was a little different, but she couldn't tell what was different.
There was no other way, so the Queen had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue making noodles: "Why does Your Majesty suddenly want to eat wonton noodles today?"
"Every time I get to take a bite of the wonton noodles you made, it's because Ran'er wants to eat it. Today Ran'er is not here, so I want you to make one for me alone!" the emperor said softly.
The queen smiled helplessly: "If your majesty wants to eat it, just ask my concubine. But it's not a good thing, so your majesty doesn't mind it?"
The emperor looked at the queen's profile and suddenly felt a little enlightened: "Queen, have you ever complained about me?"
The queen was stunned for a moment, then looked back at the emperor: "Why did your majesty say that?"
"We are both legitimate sons, but since I was a child, I have cared more about the prince and less about Ran'er. For this reason, hasn't the queen ever felt the slightest resentment?" The emperor looked at the queen and said softly.
The Queen paused while kneading the dough, and then said: "No, it's not that I am very virtuous or tolerant. It's just that I knew before entering the palace that Your Majesty had a deep relationship with the late Queen, and the Crown Prince was even more young. It’s natural for His Majesty to prefer him after losing his mother! Because he didn’t have too many expectations from the beginning, so naturally there won’t be any resentment.”
The emperor was silent for a long time, and finally smiled bitterly: "You have always thought clearly!"
The emperor stayed in the Queen's Palace that day. On the next day, the emperor met with the envoys from Northern Xinjiang and arranged the marriage between the two countries.
The princess who was scheduled to be married was Princess Zhaoyang of Concubine Xian.
Concubine Xian knelt in front of the imperial study for a whole day, but the emperor remained indifferent. In the end, it was the empress who went to bring her back.
It was just that Concubine Xian didn't know how to move forward or retreat. She pointed at the queen with gnashed teeth and cursed: "...You are a black-hearted woman. In order to prevent your daughter from marrying far away, you took away my daughter's marriage. You are a black-hearted woman." , you will be struck by five thunderbolts from the sky, and you will not die well..."
Concubine Xian was probably exhausted. The queen thought that she was feeling sad because of her daughter and had no intention of arguing with him. Zhaoyang also came to plead for Concubine Xian. Just when the queen asked someone to take Concubine Xian back, The emperor actually came.
The emperor was not as easy to talk as the empress. After hearing Concubine Xian's gnashing teeth and cursing, he immediately had Concubine Xian dragged off: "The following offenses will be punished with twenty rods!"
No matter how Zhaoyang cried and begged, the emperor did not let go.
Concubine Xian was beaten twenty times and passed out. Zhaoyang cried so hard that her heart was broken. Although the queen didn't understand why the emperor suddenly changed his temper, she comforted Zhaoyang first and sent him back. Find the emperor.
"Your Majesty, what are you doing? Zhaoyang is getting married. Concubine Xian feels uncomfortable. If she wants to say something, just let her say a few words!" The queen returned to the palace and saw that the emperor was still sitting there, so she couldn't help but say.
The emperor glanced at the queen, and then said: "It is my intention to let Zhaoyang get married. If she has any dissatisfaction, she should come to me to talk. What's the point of yelling with you?"
"This is the harem. She felt aggrieved and yelled at her concubine, so let her yell. She must be so heartbroken after losing her daughter!" the queen said helplessly.
The emperor looked at the queen for a long time: "You are soft-tempered and never cruel enough. In this way, I am just like you!"
The emperor suddenly said this sentence without thinking, and the queen was a little surprised: "What?"
"You are the queen, so you should be more decisive!" The emperor said softly, "But I am just like you, more indecisive!"
The Queen suddenly realized: "Your Majesty, are you slapping this concubine? Are you saying that I have raised Ran'er to death?"
The emperor shook his head: "Ran'er is a good person, kind-hearted and kind-hearted, but he is not decisive enough!"
The queen couldn't understand the emperor more and more, so she didn't bother to talk to him anymore. She just murmured in a low voice: "It's bitter cold in northern Xinjiang. How can Zhaoyang endure such hardships? She must prepare more dowry for her, and a share will be provided from the treasury. I am paying a share... Zhaoyang has a strong temper, but he is afraid that he will suffer when he comes to Beihan..."
The emperor listened to the queen's detailed words and knew that she really felt sorry for Zhaoyang, so he said: "I will give you another share from my private treasury to prepare more dowries and more medical women. In this way, in Northern Xinjiang, There’s no need to ask for help!”
"Your Majesty is obviously reluctant to give up, so why do you need to reprimand them mother and daughter?" The queen sighed, "It won't hurt Zhaoyang's heart!"
"I know, I'll go take a look later!" The emperor had no choice but to say this.
