As soon as Qian Qiyue said these words, the whole hall of Shoukang Palace became quiet.
No one expected that this girl from the Qian family would be so bold, almost making the mockery obvious.
She made no secret of her unwillingness to enter the palace, not to mention her disdain for the general election. She said that she treated the emperor as an elder like her father, and praised him for his wisdom and prowess. She was full of awe. She looked at the dignity of these words, but In fact, it's just a matter of asking how old the emperor is and how old she is?
Aren't you ashamed to think that an old cow eats young grass even though you are so old?
The Queen Mother slapped the chair: "You are so presumptuous!"
When Princess Huan saw that Qian Qiyue was so bold and made the Queen Mother angry, she gloated and said, "Your Majesty is the emperor, how dare you dislike Qian Qiyue?"
Qian Qiyue knelt on the ground: "Princess Huan, please don't accuse me unjustly. When have I ever disliked Your Majesty?"
Her back was straight, and her righteous words were extremely serious:
"Qiyue's loyalty to Your Majesty can be seen from the sun and the moon. If Your Majesty is in my daughter's house, I will definitely treat Your Majesty as she treats her father. She will be extremely filial to Your Majesty and will never disobey her. A father is kind and a son is filial, and everyone praises him. But if he is successful, We are married, and I don’t want to open my eyes every day and feel that I am abusing my elders.”
"I have offended Your Majesty. I am afraid of thunder."
Qian Qiyue kowtowed heavily:
"My daughter is still young and greedy for life. I hope the Queen Mother will forgive me."
She changed her voice again: "However, if the Queen Mother insists on wanting my daughter to enter the palace as the queen, she will definitely not resist the decree. She will definitely follow her father's instructions, accept the decree, thank the Queen Mother for her kindness, and fulfill her loyalty and filial piety. My righteousness is to manage the harem well for His Majesty in the future."
Everyone in the hall: "..."
Prince: "..."
The Xu family's mother and daughter on the side were even more stunned when they looked at Qian Qiyue, who was so aggressive and dared to say anything.
When they learned that the Queen Mother was interested in their daughter, they were so anxious that they hurriedly arranged a marriage for Xu Qiaoqing. Before entering the palace, she and her husband discussed for a long time how to refuse if the Queen Mother mentioned it. Madam has been thinking about her words in her heart, but she never expected that there would be a "warrior" like Qian Qiyue.
Tang Ning was originally worried about Qian Qiyue and thought about how to refuse it for her, but Qian Qiyue spoke first.
Seeing that the Queen Mother's face was turning green and white at first, and Emperor An also had a stiff face at the side, she raised the corner of her mouth.
Qian Qiyue has already spoken about this, or the Queen Mother directly issued an order to forcefully summon Qian Qiyue to the palace and appointed her as the queen. It was rumored that the royal family ignored the ethics of the emperor and abused the daughter of the courtier, using his "old age" status to rape the daughter of the courtier. As a young lady, you have to give the position of the middle palace to the Qian family.
Either the Queen Mother had no choice but to take back her fate, sympathize with Qian Qiyue's loyalty and filial piety, and give up Qian Baokun's feelings of always praising Emperor An for his wisdom and teaching his daughter to be a loyal monarch.
The Queen Mother and Emperor An both had sullen faces.
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Concubine Zhao said softly: "I see that Miss Qian's temperament is not suitable for entering the palace. If such a lively girl restrains her temper, she may not be as lively as the Queen Mother likes." Looks good."
She turned her head to look at Emperor An and said angrily:
"And Your Majesty, isn't it enough for you to have so many sisters in the palace accompanying you? Is it possible that Your Majesty dislikes my concubine and others, or does he feel that my concubine's old pearls are not as beautiful as the young girl's?"
Emperor An knew that Concubine Zhaogui was passing the steps to him. He endured the offended displeasure and said, "You are the only one in this palace who knows how to say such weird things. How do I treat you? You still don't know?"
He pretended to scold him, then turned to the Queen Mother and said:
"Although the Queen has good intentions, there is no need to force Miss Qian since she doesn't want to. If the Queen likes her, just ask her to come to the palace to accompany you in the future. Besides, she doesn't seem to be a well-behaved person. Who in the capital doesn't? The Zanqian family raised a female general, but I can’t resist it.”
Emperor An finally couldn't hold it back and made a disparaging comment about Qian Qiyue.
Qian Qiyue seemed not to understand at all, and only said cheerfully: "Your Majesty is wise, and my daughter's father and mother also said so."
"My mother often said that my daughter should be born in a general, and she is most suitable for wielding swords and spears. If a man were in better shape, he might be able to fight on the battlefield and become a fierce general, so as not to be as careless as he is now. None, but my father is valued by His Majesty and is in a high position. As a result, it is as coveted as a piece of fairy meat, and everyone wants to take a bite."
"My daughter is also bored."
An Di: "..."
Tang Ning: "..."
cough.
Rong Yue couldn't help coughing lightly and signaled Qian Qiyue to stop when she was ready.
Qian Qiyue smiled innocently: "Your Majesty, your Majesty will forgive you for exceeding the rules."
An Di: "..."
The originally lively atmosphere in the palace cooled down due to the sudden election.
After Qian Qiyue returned to the dining room, she ignored the various looks from the people around her and just sat down next to Tang Ning with her head curled up, pretending to eat without saying a word, looking extraordinarily docile and quiet.
On the other hand, Mrs. Xu and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
With Qian Qiyue's random punches, the election matter would come to nothing. Emperor An had no shame to bully the young and force the daughter of the Qian family to enter the palace. Naturally, he could not force the daughter of the Xu family to enter the palace. Xu Qiaoqing But she is two years younger than Qian Qiyue.
Emperor An could never chill the hearts of his courtiers by favoring one over the other.
After the Queen Mother was disgraced, her smile never disappeared.
Emperor An did not speak at all. Even if Zhaogui concubine occasionally said a few words to the people below, she could not hide the awkward atmosphere of the banquet.
Everyone had no intention of eating or drinking, and some didn't know what to do, until the Queen Mother got up and said she was tired, and asked Aunt Ran to help her go to the back room to rest, and Emperor An also got up.
"I still have things to do in the past, so I won't accompany you."
Everyone stood up quickly, and Emperor An waved his hand.
"No need to be polite, this banquet is specially prepared by the imperial kitchen. You ladies can drink as much as you like, so as not to let down the Queen Mother's wishes."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Zhaogui concubine suddenly said: "Your Majesty, I would like to stay here and talk to all the ladies."
Concubine Xian also said: "I am the same."
Emperor An smiled and said: "It's up to you. The Queen Mother happens to be tired, so you can greet all the ladies as a landlord on behalf of the Queen Mother."
The two Zhaogui concubines hurriedly said: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
The prince rolled his eyes and glanced at Fu Jinrou, who was looking at her eagerly in the crowd, and said: "Father, I had a conflict with my previous words. I am afraid that the emperor's grandmother is angry. I want to go over and see the emperor's grandmother." Make amends with her and apologize.”
Emperor An glanced at him: "Go ahead, you can do whatever you want, I'll leave first."
"Farewell to my father."
"Farewell to Your Majesty."
After everyone saluted, Emperor An turned around and left without speaking to Tang Ning from beginning to end. The prince did not stay in the palace for a long time. After Emperor An left, he also went directly to the back hall.
After they all left, the atmosphere in the hall instantly relaxed.
