When Liang Jing returned to the palace, the queen saw that he had been in trouble all the way and couldn't help but express her gratitude to him for his hard work.
"Your Majesty, you are so young," Liang Jing said in fear. "This time I went all the way and still got nothing. Only a Taoist priest named Yu Qingzi from Wenxu Temple in Xunyang said that seven or eight years ago, Qingque I had a chance encounter with him."
"It's just a one-time relationship," the queen couldn't help but smile after hearing this, "I guess what I know is limited."
"Exactly, he only said that Qingque is indeed very profound and is a dragon-like figure.
He also said that that night, when the two had a drink, Qingque had cast a spell and led him to experience the scenery of the fairyland. "Liang Jing told everything he asked.
"Wonderland?" The queen was quite surprised when she heard this, "Could he be dreaming after drinking too much?"
"I asked carefully, I guess not." Liang Jing shook his head, "Yu Qingzi is also considered a number one figure in Taoism today, and he is indifferent by nature and never gets involved in the secular world.
Besides, he himself has learned some magic skills, so he shouldn't be able to tell whether it's a dream or not. "
"If Qingque's Taoism is really so good, then His Majesty will have no choice but to obey him even more." A cloud of sadness appeared on the Queen's face, "Although I haven't heard of him taking Your Majesty to see the wonderland until now, he is just Sit and discuss with His Majesty.
But His Majesty already has the highest regard for him and has many confidants.
You also know what His Majesty wants most from the beginning to the end. I am really scared..."
The queen didn't say the next words, but Liang Jing understood them all.
"My queen, there is no need to worry too much. As long as the palace and harem are under your control, Qingque will never dare to act rashly."
"Okay, let's not mention him for now. Now that you're back, I'll be relieved." The Queen breathed a sigh of relief, "There are a lot of things to take care of in the palace, and even with the help of Concubine Xian, it's still not enough. "
"This is why I rushed back in a hurry. It will be my mother's birthday in a few days." Liang Jing naturally knew it.
"I told you that my birthday doesn't matter, as long as the Emperor's grand ceremony in September goes well, that's all." The Queen said.
Liang Jing wanted to speak again, but the prince came in from outside.
Liang Jing quickly turned around and saluted the prince.
"Mr. Liang, you are back." The prince was very happy to see him. "I haven't seen you for many days. It must be very hard out there. I have lost weight when I saw you."
"When doing things for your master, you should do your best. A little running around is not enough." Liang Jing said.
"You happen to be back, help me beg my mother for mercy!" The prince said with a slightly bitter face, "My Aunt Qiu over there coaxed me to grow up.
Just because she was confused for a moment, she touched two cards during the night. The queen mother wanted to send her to the clothing bureau. "
"I'm already showing mercy," the queen said displeased, "otherwise you should be beaten to death!"
"Mother..." The prince looked at the queen and hesitated to speak.
"Isn't this all for you? You can't bear it here, and you can't bear it there, allowing the people below you to mess up the rules and regulations.
If I don't help you control it, what will people say about you if it is spread? "The queen's tone unconsciously contained a hint of hatred that iron cannot be transformed into steel. Read the book
"My son understands the queen's painstaking efforts. I just want to reprimand her once. She will definitely change in the future. Why punish her so harshly." The prince did not dare to speak loudly, but he still tried his best to save her.
Aunt Qiu knelt in front of him, hugged his legs and cried bitterly.
He really couldn't bear it.
"As a person who reads the books of sages, you should know what it means to kill one person to serve as a warning to others, and to capture the thief before capturing the king." The queen explained, "If ordinary people make such mistakes, they may not be able to admonish them.
But Aunt Qiu has a special status, and because she is an old man from the East Palace, she doesn't take some rules seriously.
If she is not punished severely, won’t the people below follow her example? "
"Your Highness, the Queen is really working hard." Liang Jing naturally wanted to mediate, "You are compassionate and generous, and you have a benevolent demeanor. But some servants don't know how to be grateful. They bully their superiors and take luck.
meet
If such a troublesome slave is not severely punished, not only will the servants not appreciate your virtue, but they will also develop a desire to deceive you.
Furthermore, if Aunt Qiu really realizes her mistake, the Queen will be merciful and call her back.
The empress's decree has already been given, how could she immediately withdraw it? Your Highness, you are the most considerate, and you should be more considerate and considerate of the Queen. "
How can the prince argue better than Liang Jing?
He had no choice but to lower his head and stop talking.
The Queen glanced at him and said, "Go back to study quickly. Don't do such things that put the cart before the horse in the future."
When the prince left, the queen couldn't help complaining to Liang Jing: "Why is this child so kind to a woman? He is not young at all. When I was as old as him, I was already preparing to enter the palace. "
"Men always mature later than women," Liang Jing said as he walked over and squeezed the Queen's shoulders, "Besides, your Majesty, you have prepared everything for Your Highness. He does not need to do it himself, so he must be more naive."
"There are some reasons for this, but I always feel that this child is born with a soft mind." The queen shook her head and said, "I have to find a way to harden his heart, otherwise the harem will be full of tigers and wolves. In a place where he is rampant and surrounded by poisonous snakes, there will always be a day when I am too old to be with him."
"The beloved son of the parents has a far-reaching plan, but the empress is now in the prime of life, so there is no need to worry so much." Liang Jing said, squeezing the empress's shoulders and neck with a little force, "You are too tight. If you don’t, you will get sick over time.”
When the queen heard what he said, she couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
"Yeah, I'm always too impatient." He slowly relaxed his shoulders.
Then Liang Jing served the queen for lunch, and did not come out until the queen rested.
Xue Hengzhaoyin had sorted out all the accounts of the imperial prison a few days ago. Concubine Fu thought of her hard work and asked her to take a good rest, but did not ask her to come to serve her.
The weather is quite warm now, so Chi Su doesn't want Xue Hengzhao to be bored in the house all the time.
After lunch, the two of them went out for a walk.
"I haven't seen the prince in the past few days." Chi Su chatted with Xue Hengzhao as they walked, "I don't know what's wrong with him. He always walks around when he sees you."
"That's not a bad idea. We'll save each other trouble." Xue Hengzhao didn't care.
"Your heart is so hard." Chi Su shook his head, "Your Majesty is so pitiful."
"Why are you pitying him?" Xue Hengzhao sneered, "He lacks nothing, not even a well-matched marriage in the future."
"But who calls him infatuated?" Chi Su said, "I knew before outside the palace that the prince drank a lot, but now I'm afraid his drinking capacity is even higher.
It’s late at night and there’s nothing to do but drink! "
"People in front, stop!" Someone shouted from behind the two of them.
When he looked back, he saw that it was the fourth prince.
