Chapter 1560: Tiger Girl 44
The queen wore a shawl more than before. A dark green Xia shawl hangs from the shoulders, embroidered with colorful clouds and dragons.
In addition, the pearl makeup on her face was replaced by normal makeup, and the unibrow was painted beautifully and dignifiedly. Wearing a phoenix crown with birds on its head, surrounded by pearls and emeralds, the phoenix spreads its wings, showing its aura of looking down at the world. Wearing a double circle of red coral and pearls around her neck.
Probably before I finished dressing up just now, I heard something was going on in the palace and came over quickly.
After all, she is the head of the palace, so if anything happens, she will be blamed.
The queen glanced at the third prince, who understood and stood up.
The third prince stood up, and Zhao Yingyue also stood up quickly.
The third prince explained: "Miss Zhao, this matter has been basically clarified. The palace maid just entered the palace not long ago. She was not familiar with the route and took her the wrong way. She has been handed over to her steward for punishment."
Yeah? Only a ghost can believe it! Will a new palace maid lead the way for this event held in the palace?
The queen said with a bit of a smile: "Now that the matter has been found out, let's give it up. It's true that the palace maid didn't know the way. To put it bluntly, Miss Zhao was frightened."
It seems that the queen also wants to put the matter to rest. After all, if something happens under her nose, she will be said to be incompetent and unable to assume the post.
Xining immediately saluted: "Is it my daughter? I have become suspicious since being plotted by my personal maid. How could there be such a conspiracy in the palace? I am really shallow. I hope the Queen will forgive her."
< br>
Yep, the schemes in the palace are endless and hard to guard against. The queen actually gave birth to three children, but the only prince died in infancy, leaving two princesses. Everyone knows that many princes from official families died young. On the one hand, the emperors of all dynasties were superstitious about Huang Lao's techniques and took red pills; on the other hand, it was due to the calculations here and there.
Seeing that she was following her wishes, the queen gave her some snacks. He comforted her slightly: "I have also heard about this. I didn't expect that there would be such a bad maid, and she would not stop even if she died."
After investigation, Fuling's case was found to be manslaughter. A servant said that Fuling had seduced him and wanted to find out about the crown prince. He threatened that if she did not follow her wishes, she would say that the crown prince's action was the reason for her loss of virginity and that he was unruly. .
Under coercion, the servant did not want such a vicious servant to harm the prince, so he was frightened and frightened, so he strangled Poria to death with his belt and made the illusion of committing suicide.
After pleading guilty, he immediately hit his head on a pillar of the government building and died.
At this time, the Rongguo Duke's mansion was once again cleansed, and the slave who was killed was said to be a loyal servant, and his family was properly settled by the Rongguo Duke's mansion.
Xi Ning knelt down with some fear: "The slaves around me behaved despicably, and it is my daughter who is to blame. It was my daughter's negligence and indulgence that caused the official empress to worry, and the house was covered in dust."
"Hurry up." The queen made a gesture to get up. After Xining stood up, she said with some appreciation: "This is serious. The generals who have worked hard and have been hereditary since the emperor Gao Zu can make a little bitch Has the maid been deceived? It is said that a person knows his face but not his heart. If you deliberately conceal it, let alone your unmarried lady, even the mistress of the family may be deceived. Fortunately, the truth is revealed, but you are not too much. Just don’t mind.”
"What the Queen said is true, and I will bear it in my heart." Xining lowered his head slightly, pretending to be moved.
The third prince standing aside looked at Miss Zhao. From the beginning to the end, he never mentioned Rongguo Duke's Palace or Zhao Chengzong. If the truth is like this, Zhao Chengzong is also wronged, but he just didn't mention it. It proves that this young lady has a clear heart.
At this time, someone came in from outside and said that a banquet was about to begin. Everyone was already seated, waiting for the queen and officials.
The queen saw that she understood the general situation and did not raise any questions, so she felt a little happy. Standing up: "Then you can sit down with me."
The three of them immediately saluted and agreed, and followed the queen to the banquet one after another.
The third prince followed the queen and talked to her from time to time. She looks like a loving mother and a filial son, and she is happy and happy. Xining followed Zhao Yingyue, but Zhao Yingyue didn't say a word from beginning to end. Seeing how calm Zhao Yingyue was, Xi Ning couldn't help but nod.
No wonder Zhao Yingyue is so young and has an official position. When General Zhao brought his second son back to Beijing, he was relieved to have him guard the border.
When we walked to the entrance of the palace, before we walked in, the father-in-law inside saw the queen coming and immediately shouted at the top of his lungs: "The queen is here!"
When the queen entered the palace, everyone stood up and knelt down to greet the queen.
The third prince deliberately slowed down his pace. After entering the back of the palace, he walked to the side and knelt down with everyone.
Zhao Yingyue followed suit. After kneeling down, she turned her head and saw that her little sister was also kneeling beside her. She felt relieved. It seems that my little sister has really grown up and has a certain amount of progress and retreat. I am also afraid that if I stand there stupidly like before, even if I am still young, no matter how generous the Queen is, she will be a little annoyed.
"Without any courtesy, please stand down." The queen spread her hands and asked everyone to stand up, looking graceful and majestic.
"Thank you, Queen!" Everyone stood up and heard another shout: "The Emperor has arrived!"
Okay, now everyone followed the Queen and knelt down again.
Xining knelt down and secretly smiled bitterly. In this boring feudal society, people always kneel down and kneel down. Fortunately, the identity of the body owner is quite good. If I were either a palace maid or a slave in the past, I would be able to kneel down and have calluses on my knees.
The official walked in, and now he could finally see the emperor of this dynasty a little closer.
Approximately in his early forties, slightly thin. Wearing a single-color silver-white robe, the waist is tied with a jade belt. If it weren't for the jade belt and the hanging jade pendant, which are of the highest quality, the clothes would be neater than when the official was at home.
After sitting down, the emperor said a few words to cheer up. When everyone was toasting, Xining covered the wine glass with his hand and took a closer look.
In his forties, according to modern male standards, he is in his prime. But the emperor showed signs of decline, and his sideburns and beard were already turning silver. The red cheeks do not mean that you are full of energy, but that your blood is too strong due to long-term use of elixirs.
If you continue to eat like this, coupled with the heavy government affairs and uncontrolled life. In just a few years, this body will be hollowed out and the fuel will be exhausted.
Emperors of the past dynasties, even if they were not superstitious about elixirs, mostly died in their forties. If you take the elixir again, you will definitely be seeking death.
The emperor still refuses to title his sons. Except for the prince, who has the title of prince, the other princes still call themselves princes. If it were any other time, even if they didn't have a family, as long as they were three or five years old, they would be crowned a king.
The reason for not giving titles is that once you become a king, you can have your own private soldiers. Even if the amount is stipulated, who knows if they will develop more privately.
As for the matter of sealing titles, it can be seen that the emperor is not at ease with his sons, quite uneasy.
Calculating the time, if the previous development trajectory is followed, then five years later, when the Zhenguo General's Mansion is destroyed, the emperor's body should be almost unable to hold on.
Think about it, General Zhao and his sons are not stupid. They have military power and secret guards. If he really protects himself wisely, does not guard Yanguan, and does not care about political affairs, it should not lead to the destruction of the family.
Maybe... Xining has a feeling that General Zhao is on the wrong team?
