The Queen glanced at Concubine Liu and said, "To tell you what the Emperor is saying, Concubine Liu, as a concubine, did not lead by example and contradicted the Queen Mother. According to the palace regulations, Concubine Liu should be demoted one level and confined for three months."
Concubine Liu's body softened and she looked at the emperor with concern.
The Queen glanced at the Queen Mother and softened her voice and said: "Queen Mother, Concubine Liu was also worried about the injury of her little grandson for a moment, so she spoke arbitrarily. Otherwise..."
After hesitating for a moment, seeing that neither the emperor nor the queen mother objected, he looked at Luo Ran and said, "Shan Ning, Concubine Liu did not do it unintentionally. It is better to give her a small punishment and a big warning. This time, she will be fined for half a year and confined for one month, so that she can How about the little emperor's grandson copying Buddhist scriptures?"
When Luo Ran saw the queen asking him, he sneered in his heart, but because it was inconvenient to get up while holding Jing Xing, he slightly bent his back and said: "Queen, my wife does not understand the rules in the palace. Everything must be obeyed by the emperor and the queen mother. "
Since we all like to play football, let’s just play it.
In the end, the emperor didn't say anything, he just looked at the queen and said calmly: "Since the queen thinks it's okay to do this, then let's do it."
Concubine Liu quickly thanked her. Half a year's salary was nothing in her eyes, and not going out for a month was even less important. It was just not good-looking, so she hated Luo Ran and her son a little more.
After coming out of Cining Palace, she waved back, and the queen frowned and said to Concubine Liu Guifei: "I thought my sister had some good ideas. But I didn't expect that she was not doing well, but she caused herself a lot of trouble."
Concubine Liu Guifei was also worried and said: "Who knew that little brat looks like a piece of paper? He is really a bastard and can't stand on the stage!"
The queen looked at her indifferently: "Whether or not you can get on the stage depends on how the emperor and the queen mother support you. It doesn't matter what you and I say. Sister, you better think of a way, otherwise everything inside and outside the palace will be like that. The world belongs to father and son."
Concubine Liu Guifei snorted: "Don't worry, Queen. Who do you think is more anxious than us in the capital now?"
The queen's thoughts moved slightly: "Xie family?"
Concubine Liu said: "Concubine, I heard that the Xie family had intended to marry their daughter to the Shen family before. It was just because of the relationship between the Shen family and the prince. Now, it is obvious that the eldest prince, do you think they will give up the near and seek the far away? "
Seeing that the Queen did not speak, Concubine Liu continued: "As long as someone who cares comes in, how long do you think Shan Ning can be happy? Besides, the prince is getting married soon, and as long as the grandson is born, what will happen to that little kid?"
Hearing this, a happy smile finally appeared on the queen's face: "Sister Liu is interested. Don't worry, in two days the palace will exempt my sister from punishment on the grounds that the prince is busy with the wedding."
"Thank you, Queen!"
Concubine Liu Guifei saluted.
It wasn't until the queen's figure walked away that Concubine Liu slowly straightened up, with a hint of sarcasm on her lips.
The eldest palace maid next to her said worriedly: "Empress, we are now..."
Concubine Liu lowered her head and slowly took off the armor on her right index finger. She threw it gently and landed on the ground with a crisp sound. She said slowly: "The Queen is planning to be the oriole behind the mantis catching the cicada. But it doesn't matter. , we don’t need to take action ourselves, just wait and see.”
March is destined to be an unstable day in Beijing.
This month, Duke Fu Yi of Jingguo passed away first. He did not wait for his eldest son to wear sackcloth and mourn him, but he waited for an imperial edict.
The imperial edict declares that the current commander, Fu Jin'an, is the eldest prince of the royal family who was accidentally framed by evil people many years ago and is living abroad.
As for how he discovered it, the last time he ordered the envoy to send the feudal lord to leave the capital, he was assassinated on the way and was accidentally injured. When the imperial doctor was treating him, he was caught by the emperor and recognized the birthmark on his back.
As for the eldest prince's biological mother, she was born to the emperor's concubine Xie before he ascended the throne.
The Xie family was born in the Xie family of Chen County. She was the daughter of an aristocratic family. She broke off contact with the Xie family due to some misunderstandings.
Now that the eldest prince has been found, the Xie family has been posthumously granted the title, and Fu Jinan has been officially renamed Lu Jinan and canonized as Prince Xuan.
This was unprecedented in the history of the Jin Dynasty. For a while, there was a lot of traffic in front of the Fu Mansion, but without exception, everyone was rejected because Luo Ran still lives in the palace with his two children. inside.
Seeing that the prince was getting married in a few days, and the Ministry of Rites had renovated the Fu Mansion in accordance with the regulations, and now it was renamed Prince Xuan's Mansion, Luo Ran took his two children out of the palace.
Before leaving, the Queen Mother was still reluctant to leave. Sometimes she hugged Qing Ning, sometimes she hugged Jing Xing, and she burst into tears. Luo Ran couldn't bear to leave.
After Dr. Zhang's careful diagnosis and treatment these days, the wound on Jing Xing's face has scabbed over, and when the scab fell off, a light pink scar was revealed.
The Queen Mother wiped the scars on Jing Xing's face and said distressedly: "The Ai family's sweetheart has been with the Ai family for a long time, and yet he has suffered such a terrible crime."
Luo Ran comforted her at the side: "Don't worry, Queen Mother. Didn't Dr. Zhang say that after the dog days, the scars will disappear?"
The Queen Mother nodded and pretended to be dissatisfied: "Why do you still call the Ai family Queen Mother? From now on, just like Yuanyuan and the others, call them Imperial Grandmother. The Ai family is happy to hear it."
Luo Ran called out obediently: "Yes, Imperial Grandmother. Please take care of yourself and let Qing Ning and Jing Xing come to greet you in a few days."
"Hey! Okay, okay, okay!"
The Queen Mother happily agreed, then raised her head and glanced expectantly in the direction of the palace door, her eyes dimmed, "Let Aunt Hua take you out."
Luo Ran understood the Queen Mother's thoughts and said with a smile: "The prince said he would come over, and it should be almost here now."
Sure enough, as soon as Luo Ran finished speaking, the Queen Mother's eyes lit up.
Since the imperial edict was announced to the world, Fu Jinan has been very busy these days. Except for quietly visiting Luo Ran twice in the dead of night, not to mention the Queen Mother, even the two children have not seen their father for several days.
Not long after she finished speaking, she heard the voice of greetings from outside. Everyone in the hall looked out and saw a man in prince's clothes coming in with the sun on his back, a steady pace and a serious face.
As soon as he came in, he lifted up his robe and made a big salute: "Yan Hui goes back to say hello to the emperor's grandmother."
The Queen Mother turned her face away, holding the handkerchief to the corners of her eyes. After a while, she turned her head, tremblingly, she stepped forward, lifted him up with both hands, and said with a tearful smile, "Okay, okay, I'll be fine when I get back."
Coming out of the palace, Luo Ran looked up towards the sun.
Fu Jin'an looked at her eyes that were blinded by the sunlight and said with a smile: "Be careful, your eyes will be blurred and you can't see the road in a while."
Luo Ran turned his head, and there were dots of light in front of his eyes. Sure enough, he couldn't see the person in front of him clearly. He smiled bitterly: "It's only been a few days, but it will be different when we come out."
Fu Jinan raised his hand and gently placed it in front of her eyes. He held her waist with one hand and walked towards the carriage. He smiled and said, "What's the difference? It's just a title."
Luo Ran nodded, raised his head and asked: "Jingguo Duke's Mansion..."
In the past few days in the Queen Mother's Palace, she couldn't ask so much. She didn't know how the emperor dealt with the Fu family in the end, including the Luo family, of course.
