Chapter 496 The pain of deceiving comes to an end 44
Xue Pinggui had a cold face, Long Yan was calm and confident: "But there is no evidence that the prince did not rebel!"
Although Prime Minister Zhou was respectful, he also looked upright and upright: "So it is better to put him under house arrest. If the prince really rebels, he can be imprisoned in a prison."
What a shame this old guy is so good at pretending. Xue Pinggui could only issue an order to release the prince from prison and place him under house arrest in the prince's mansion. As for Zhao Guogong, not a word was mentioned.
Everyone knows this well and does not want to point it out. Poor Zhao Guogong, you should stay in the prison. Who told you to have too much military power and you should be feared?
After the prince came out, the first thing he did was to go to Zhaoyang Courtyard to thank Xining.
Xi Ning smiled and said: "I didn't exert much force, it was all about the prince's auspiciousness, human nature and heavenly appearance."
The prince was still full of gratitude: "The queen is too modest. If the queen hadn't come to see my son early in the morning, I would have gone crazy in the prison. As expected, my father released my son not long ago. It must have been the queen's mediation. This kind of kindness I will never forget it in this lifetime. ”
In fact, she really didn't do anything, she just gave the prince a meal when he was first imprisoned. Well, originally she was responsible for being a benevolent aunt, but since the prince insists on acknowledging his kindness to her, it would be disrespectful.
She gave the prince a few words to tell him not to be caught and imprisoned again, otherwise she would miss him. The prince almost shed tears when he said it!
Those ministers said good things for him, all to preserve his position. They are all married. One is an honor and the other is a loss. If not to help him, who else can he help? And the queen really had no selfish motives in helping him. People say that the queen is stupid, and she has stayed in the cold kiln for 18 years. Now it seems that she is not stupid, but too kind, so kind that she is stupid.
There are probably not many women like this in the world!
After the prince left, Xining continued to live her life. Anyway, she doesn't get involved in Gong Liwu's messy things. Recently, because the prince's affairs are more important, the incidents of miscarriages in the palace have become less common, or have disappeared.
For the sake of the prince's marriage, each family and government had no time to plot against their competitors. The only way to gain both fame and fortune was to marry the young lady who had not yet left the court to the prince. Why bother killing other people's children? If the prince succeeds to the throne, the other princes can only be princes and princes. Are you not allowed to raise a child to protect yourself from old age?
Then the prince was imprisoned again, and there was another period of turmoil.
Counting Xue Pinggui's children, the number currently alive has increased to seven. In fact, there are more premature deaths and miscarriages. It is even more difficult for the concubines to want their children to inherit the throne. It is better to raise them first. If they want to fight, they can fight later.
Xue Pinggui's birthday banquet was well organized, so Xining just put on a phoenix crown and ceremonial robe, sat next to Xue Pinggui and watched the performance.
There is delicious food and drink in front of me, but I don’t dare to eat more. The queen, sitting on it and eating from beginning to end, doesn't look good.
Xining turned his head and whispered to Xiaoyue, who was standing behind him, that when the birthday banquet was over, the dishes on the table would be packed and sent to Zhaoyang Courtyard.
Although these words were spoken softly, Xue Pinggui, who had sharp ears, heard them. Xue Pinggui couldn't help laughing. It was better to have such a queen. She didn't have any palace or evil intentions. She was much stronger than the extremely powerful Dai Zan.
Thinking of Dai Zan, Xue Pinggui felt vaguely evil and turned his eyes to the prince sitting at the banquet. This kid looks a little more like him, which is okay! In fact, Wang Baochuan's son is the most like him. He smiles when he sees him and insists on being hugged by him. Really likable. Among all the sons, Lin'er was the closest to him, but it was a pity that he was too young, otherwise he really wanted Lin'er to inherit the throne.
Ronghua Princess Xue Ling, who was sitting at another small table next to the prince, saw her father staring at the prince and couldn't help but said: "Father, why are you looking at the prince's brother? Is it because he has been in the heavenly prison for more than a month? Lost a lot of weight?”
Isn't this a secret complaint against His Majesty? The prince hurriedly said: "How can I lose weight? My son was well taken care of in the prison. He never missed one meal or three meals a day, and every meal had meat. Not only was he not thin, he was probably fat!" Rong Hua But the princess stared: "I obviously have lost weight."
The prince is really in trouble, so why can't this silly girl enlighten her?
The corners of Xue Pinggui's mouth twitched, pretending to be a fatherly smile. He was wrong just now. Ronghua Princess Xue Ling was more annoying than the prince. This daughter is simply a replica of Dai Zan. She looks similar and has a similar temperament, just like the unruly and willful Dai Zan when she was young.
By the way, Princess Ronghua is already fifteen years old, and will be sixteen during the Chinese New Year in half a year. It’s time to discuss marriage. Marry this daughter as soon as possible so that she doesn’t have to be seen in front of you all the time.
We watched a lot of singing and dancing, but didn’t eat much. After returning to Zhaoyang Courtyard, she took off her heavy and cumbersome formal clothes and put on casual clothes. After placing the banquet on the table, Xining followed Xue Pinggui and continued eating.
Xining picked up the wine glass and said: "I wish your Majesty that you will have this day every year, happiness and health every year, and long live, long live, long live!"
Who wants to have this situation every year? At present, internal and external troubles have not been resolved. God knows whether the adult prince really cares about his throne and plans to force him to abdicate.
Xue Pinggui picked up the wine glass and drank it!
"Your Majesty, take a bite of the food quickly and drink some wine!" Xining took Xue Pinggui's favorite sauce-braised pork and put it in his bowl.
Xue Pinggui had been a beggar and lived in the open, so he naturally had an inseparable affection for meat. It’s just that I used to like eating fatty meat, but now I eat lean meat instead. Cut a piece of meat into square pieces, marinate it for twelve hours a day and a night, then cut it into thin slices. It's as thin as a piece of paper, but it has continuous pieces of meat put into your mouth, and a fragrance fills your mouth.
Being an emperor is great, you can eat whatever you want and sleep with whoever you want!
Xining complimented: "Your Majesty is in his forties, but he looks not old at all, just like when I first saw your Majesty twenty years ago, his appearance has not changed at all. But with the added majesty of the emperor, all women I admire and bow to His Majesty’s power, respect and love you at the same time.”
When Xue Pinggui heard this, he immediately burst into laughter: "The empress Xian is still the same, always treating Gu! If it weren't for Dai Zan, I would have gone to you a long time ago, which really made empress Xian suffer. The days are long, and Gu will definitely make up for it. ”
What to make up for? If he hadn't always surrendered, he would have been happy for eighteen days; if he hadn't packed up his bags and fled back to the Tang Dynasty, Lin'er still didn't know if he would ever see the light of day.
Xining smiled and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty. Your Majesty will try another dish. This dish is delicious."
Xue Pinggui nodded: "Okay, okay." No matter what was brought to him, he ate it.
Xining turned to the number of princes and princesses and continued to flatter them.
After saying a few words, Xue Pinggui spoke: "Since the prince is married, Ling'er is almost sixteen years old, so it's time to discuss the marriage. How should we handle this matter?"
