Chapter 1055 Forbearance
The emperor was puzzled. What happened to the queen mother who always loved him? Why did she embarrass Chu Cong today?
Didn't the Queen Mother like it very much when Chu Cang came to accompany her?
What happened to the Queen Mother today?
The emperor was puzzled, but there was no time for him to solve the mystery at the moment. When he saw that the Queen Mother didn't say anything else, he quickly ordered the maid to bring tea. Seeing that there was no futon on the ground, he asked the maid to bring one up.
The Queen Mother snorted and expressed her dissatisfaction, "Why, without a futon, I, an old woman, can't drink my daughter-in-law's tea?"
"No, Queen Mother, my daughter-in-law will serve you tea now. Don't be angry." Chu Cong didn't care about the Queen Mother's harshness and indifference today. She knelt down directly on the ground with a plop, took the tea from the hand of the palace maid, and kissed her. He called out affectionately, "Mother, please have tea."
He raised his hands high and respectfully gave the tea to the Queen Mother to drink.
There was a snap...
As soon as the Queen Mother took the tea cup, it fell to the ground. All the warm water spilled on Chu Cong's phoenix robe, and flowed down the phoenix robe, soaking her knees.
Fortunately, the tea that the palace maid poured out was all warm, otherwise, all the tea in the cup would have been poured on Chu Cang's legs, and it would have been strange if it didn't boil and foam.
The emperor was shocked and hurriedly helped Chu Cong up, "How are you, are you burned?"
"I'm fine, it doesn't matter. The tea is warm and not scalding." Chu Cong tugged at the corners of his lips and pressed the hand stretched out by the emperor. "The queen hasn't drunk tea yet, so I have to toast you with another cup."
Chu Cang ordered the palace maid to pour another cup of tea.
"Mother, please drink tea." Chu Cong raised the tea high again.
The Queen Mother stared at her condescendingly, her expression very cold and distant.
The emperor looked at her puzzled and said, "Mother, what's wrong with you today? Don't you like Yue'er very much? A few days ago, you praised Yue'er for being sensible and well-behaved, saying that I have vision and married a good wife. Why? Has it changed today? ”
"Nothing has changed. I just... just want to test your wife." The Queen Mother's expression suddenly changed 180 degrees. She smiled and took the tea from Chu Cong's hand, took a sip, and then ordered the palace maid , "Why don't you help the queen up quickly and send her back to change clothes."
Send the emperor and queen away.
The emperor also wanted to ask the Queen Mother if she was feeling unwell. Why did the person become almost unrecognizable to him overnight?
Although the Queen Mother said that she was just testing Chu Cong, neither the Emperor nor Chu Cong were fools, and it was clear that it was just an excuse for the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother was deliberately trying to embarrass Chu Cong and embarrass Chu Cong.
As for why, neither of them understood.
After coming out of the Queen Mother's palace, the two of them felt particularly heavy. No one said a word along the way.
When they arrived at the emperor's bedroom, the emperor kicked out all the father-in-law and maids in the room, and said with a solemn face, "Yue'er, the queen mother...she may be in poor health, and her temper is..."
"Your Majesty, I understand." Chu Cong didn't want to embarrass the Emperor, so he interrupted him, "The Queen Mother is in poor health and can't bear to leave the Emperor, so she wants to test me. I understand, I understand."
The Queen Mother is the Emperor's biological mother, and the relationship between mother and son has always been very good and very close. Chu Cong didn't want to have a quarrel with the Emperor because of the Queen Mother's strange behavior on the first day of their marriage.
Therefore, she chose to endure it.
When the emperor saw that she was sensible, he felt even more pity for her. He said, "You didn't get much rest last night. You can catch up on your sleep now while I go handle some government affairs. At noon, I will wake you up. Let’s have lunch with you.”
"Well, you go ahead."
The emperor was getting married and the court was off for three days. Some urgent memorials in the court were sent to the second prince to deal with. But at this time, the emperor said that he was going to deal with government affairs. Chu Cong didn't believe it.
She didn't believe it, and she didn't show it in front of the emperor. After the emperor left, Chu Cong summoned four secret guards and sent them to the Queen Mother's palace to find out the reason for the change in the Queen Mother's personality. The secret guard took the order and went to the Queen Mother's palace.
However, after a cup of tea, the four of them came back.
"Queen." The four of them knelt on one knee and reported, "The emperor also sent secret guards over. We almost met with the emperor's secret guards. Fortunately, we hid quickly and avoided the emperor's secret guards. They didn't notice it, but...the emperor's secret guards surrounded the Queen Mother's palace, and it was difficult for his subordinates to sneak in without being discovered."
It turns out that the government affairs the emperor was talking about were the Queen Mother’s affairs?
Chu Cong raised the corners of his lips slightly and waved his hand, "Since the Emperor has intervened, then you can go down."
"As commanded."
Four secret guards went down.
Chunqun walked in and saw Chu Cong's eyes were black and blue, so she felt distressed and said, "Your Majesty, there is still an hour before noon. It's better for Your Majesty to take the opportunity to rest for a while. Your Majesty is here, and I will notify you."
< br>
Chu Cong was indeed sleepy, and his body and bones were sore and uncomfortable.
After giving some instructions to Chunqun, she climbed onto the emperor's dragon bed and went to drink tea with Duke Zhou.
In Prince An's Mansion, Chu Jingqi got the news half an hour after Chu Cong was made trouble.
Chu Jingqi was practicing martial arts with her two sons in the flower room, while Xia Zihan was sitting in the hall drinking tea, occasionally speaking out to give advice to her son.
The secret guard came to Chu Jingqi, whispered a few words in Chu Jingqi's ear, and then retreated. Chu Jingqi's face became very solemn.
Seeing this, Xia Zihan stood up and walked over, "What's wrong?"
"Something happened to the Queen Mother." Chu Jingqi said.
"It can't be..." He died, right?
Before Xia Zihan could say the last three words, Chu Jingqi seemed to know what she was going to say, and said, "No, it's a big change in personality."
"What a big change in personality?" Xia Zihan's expression changed. "The Queen Mother has always been amiable, gentle and polite to others. You wouldn't say that she has become unreasonable and mean, right?"
So, presumably, Xia Zihan became worried about Chu Cong, who had just married into the palace.
"Well, today the emperor and the queen went to serve tea..." Chu Jingqi told Xia Zihan about the scene where the secret guard reported to his queen to serve tea. ”
Xia Zihan was very surprised.
She frowned and said, "Although there are people who become mean after marrying a daughter-in-law." Just like Mrs. Liao, after Liao Jingtang married Zeng Jing, she seemed to be a completely different person. Same, but...
"The Queen Mother will never be that kind of person," she said.
If the Queen Mother was someone who despised her son marrying his daughter-in-law, she would not have been too tolerant to the First Queen when she married the Emperor.
What's more, the Queen Mother liked Chu Cang so much before. It's impossible for her to change as soon as they get married?
However, Aqi's secret guards will not report false news, so this news is definitely true.
