Chapter 578 The Emperor
My sister-in-law is in the confinement period. How can a married girl go back to her parents' home to serve her during the confinement period? She is not from a small family, so how can she do such a ridiculous thing?
The queen...
Xia Zihan's eyes turned cold and he said, "My sister-in-law and the children are all taken care of by my grandmother. I am young, so how can I take care of people in confinement? If I don't take care of them well and my sister-in-law suffers from some disease, how can I follow my elder brother?" Tell me, I can’t interfere with this.”
Then, her voice rose a little, "It's just that my grandmother is getting old and has to take care of my sister-in-law and the children. I felt sorry for my grandmother's misfortune, so I went back to the Chu family to help my grandmother take care of the housework for a few days."
This is the confinement period when I take care of the housework and do not wait on my sister-in-law.
After hearing this, the ladies present secretly praised her for her filial piety. Mrs. Chu's granddaughter did not support her in vain. When the queen heard this, her face immediately turned ugly. Some ladies were shrewd and had already seen that the queen and Xia Zi There seemed to be something in Han's mind. Seeing the queen's expression change, those ladies who wanted to praise Xia Zihan more immediately stopped talking.
Princess Zhengna smiled disdainfully and said, "That's a really close name. Those who didn't know better thought he was your biological brother. He was just a cousin adopted into the Chu family."
She just didn't like Xia Zihan, no matter how she looked at him, she didn't like him. When she saw that Xia Zihan was doing well, she felt sour in her heart and wished she could add some obstacles to her.
It did add to the congestion.
Although Chu Yuexi is the adopted heir of the Chu family, everyone is talking about this matter behind their backs. With the second princess and Xia Zihan here, no one dares to bring this matter to the public in front of them. On the surface.
Who is so stupid as to offend the dignitaries of two major families just to show off a few words of courage?
Xia Zihan took a deep breath and looked coldly at Princess Zhengna. Before she could say anything, the second princess said, "Princess Zhengna, why are you free to attend the palace banquet today? The emperor punishes you. Have you finished writing all the copied scriptures? ”
"How is Prince Ping's injury? Speaking of which, Prince Ping is still young and has the temper of a child. When young couples quarrel on weekdays, Princess Zhengna should give in to him more. Oh, by the way, Prince this time I brought a few bottles of good medicine from the border. When I get back, I will send someone to deliver two bottles to my nephew.”
She had a positive look on her face, as if she was really worried about Prince Ping's injury, but in fact she was cruel and stabbed several times into Princess Zhengna's heart with evil intentions.
Huh, aren't you mocking my son-in-law for being an adopted heir? What about your husband? Huh, he's a hairy kid who doesn't even have full hair, and he's not as good as my son-in-law.
After the second princess finished speaking, she looked away and looked at Princess Zhengna with eyes as cold as ice.
Princess Zhengna's eyebrows twitched in anger, her beautiful and charming eyes widened, and when she was about to curse, her open mouth closed again.
She glanced at the queen calmly, with that look, it was obvious that she wanted the queen to vent her anger.
The queen had a gloomy face, and her eyes flew towards the second princess like a poisoned knife.
The second princess was also a wonderful person. After she lost her temper, she sat aside to drink tea without even looking at the queen and Princess Zhengna. She also did not notice the flirtations between the two.
The queen then spoke, "Second aunt has such a good medicine for wounds. Why didn't you take it out earlier? My fourth brother has been in severe pain these days. The emperor did not allow him to call in an imperial doctor. The doctors who treated him were all ordinary doctors. I know if I can be optimistic about it.”
His face looked worried.
The second princess frowned and was about to retort a few more words before someone notified the emperor.
All the ladies quickly stood up to greet him, and the queen also stood up and walked at the front. When the emperor came in, everyone followed the queen and saluted, "My concubine, my wife, has seen the emperor. May the emperor be blessed."< br>
The emperor waved his hand with a smile, "Quickly get over."
Everyone stood up, and the queen stepped forward, smiled and gave the emperor a virtual hand, letting him sit where she originally sat. The queen sat down next to the emperor.
The emperor's gaze was like a radar, scanning the ladies twice, and then he smiled and said, "I'm just here to join in the fun. You can play whatever you want, don't worry about me."
The emperor is so big and tall, sitting here, can he really ignore him?
Answer: No.
Next, the faces of the married women became more cautious and trembling, and even the voices of chatting subconsciously lowered a few points, for fear that if they said anything wrong, they would make the emperor unhappy.
The emperor had already seen Xia Zihan. He waved Xia Zihan over, and then asked her, "Aqi also came to the palace today."
Under Xia Zihan's surprised eyes, he said again, "I asked him to go back."
The light in Xia Zihan's eyes was suddenly extinguished. The emperor chuckled and said, "He would like to come here to join in the fun. However, today's banquet in the palace is all female relatives, and no men are here to attend. He is a grown man." Why are the women taking part in the fun? That’s why I let him go back.”
The emperor would never admit it. After learning that Chu Yu came to the palace on the front foot and Chu Jingqi ran on the back foot, he felt a little jealous in his heart.
A man in the world, a hero in nature, Chu Jingqi likes to chase Chu Yu, and he also understands his thoughts, but... Hong Guoguo comes to show off in front of him, that is Chu Jingqi's fault, hum... He will never forgive her.
"Your Majesty is right, this is really not the place where Aqi comes." Xia Zihan said with a smile.
It is much more comfortable to talk to the emperor than to the queen.
After all, she has a secret deal with the emperor. The food she has on hand has been promised to be sold to the emperor every year.
This price is based on the market price *** and is sold to the grain depot, and the price is two cents higher.
Besides, she bought two purchases of grain for the emperor last year. The first one was her grain sold to the emperor. She sold it cheaply and didn't make much money from the emperor.
But in the last step, the emperor took out the money and asked her to buy food for him outside. She actually made a fortune from it.
At that time, news came out from the south that Japan wanted to reconcile with Da Sheng.
Since they are all going to be reconciled, there will be no need to fight, and her Aqi and father-in-law will not be hungry.
Therefore, when it is time to earn wages, she will not show mercy.
"Sit down and talk."
The emperor pointed to the chair next to Xia Zihan, smiled, opened his mouth again, and gave seats to several noble ladies such as the Second Princess and Zhuo.
After Xia Zihan waited for the second princess and others to sit down, she sat down on a chair next to her. She didn't dare to sit down fully and only received half of her butt.
