Chapter 14 Xiaojiu will stay with his father today
Emperor Wen Zhao's earth-shaking roar frightened Ji Jinyou so much that he trembled.
She turned around quickly, and ran back to the side hall on her short legs. She hid behind the door, holding on to the edge of the door with her two small hands, and stuck out half of her head, with her eyes wide open, observing secretly.
A while ago, there was an assassination in the palace. A group of assassins were found and the emperor ordered that all of them be beheaded on the spot. It was really that the emperor was angry and blood flowed like a river.
At that time, the whole palace was in a state of panic. Rupin was so scared that she closed the door of Miaoyunxuan and no one was allowed to go out unless it was absolutely necessary. She did not dare to go out for several days.
Ji Jinyou was worried. What was the matter this time that made His Majesty so angry?
Unlike Ji Jinyou's uneasiness, the queen was originally flustered, but when she heard His Majesty's roar, her expression relaxed and she stopped immediately.
Liang Quan, the chief eunuch beside the emperor, heard the empress' panicked cry and rushed in: "My empress, what's wrong?"
The queen smiled dignifiedly and gently and waved her hand, "It's all right, go down."
Liang Quan was stunned, but didn't ask any questions. He bowed and responded, then retreated.
Ji Jinyou was puzzled as to why His Majesty was so furious, but the Empress said it was okay.
But on second thought, if His Majesty can still roar so loudly, there is absolutely no need to see a royal physician.
The Seventh Princess and the Eighth Princess also heard the noise outside, but they did not go out. Instead, they followed Xiaojiu's example and leaned on the door frame, one on the left and one on the right, sticking half of their heads out to look outside.
The Seventh Princess pulled at the little girl's hair and asked in a low voice, "Xiaojiu, what happened to mother and father?"
Ji Jinyou shook his head: "Youyou doesn't know."
As soon as the words fell, the Royal Concubine lowered her head, covered her face, and hurried out from the inner room.
Ji Jinyou originally thought that the Royal Concubine was scolded by His Majesty and was crying, but unexpectedly, after she took a few steps and took her hands off her face, her face was actually full of smiles.
Ji Jinyou was stunned. What's going on? Are you so happy even after being scolded?
She walked up to the Queen, smiling happily, and whispered, "Sister, we have passed this test."
The queen glared at her and said, "You better be more careful. You dare to say that."
"You think I want to say it? I'm just thinking that if I don't say it today..." The Imperial Concubine didn't care.
The queen grabbed her hand, interrupted her, and then motioned her to look at the side hall.
The Imperial Concubine turned around and saw three heads lying on the side hall door, listening with their ears cocked.
She straightened her face and said fiercely, "Let me in."
But the little one retracted his head, leaving only a small tuft of hair sticking out. The two older ones were laughing shamelessly and were not listening at all.
The Imperial Concubine glared at the two troublemakers and whispered in the Queen's ear, "If I don't tell you today, it would be even more troublesome if Your Majesty finds out later."
Queen: "That's too risky."
The two were about to say more when they heard His Majesty's roar from inside: "Where's the Queen?"
"I am here." The Queen answered loudly, then lowered her voice and said to the Royal Concubine, "You should go back quickly."
"I still want to listen... to the chat." The Imperial Concubine raised her hand and pointed slightly at the little head that was popping up little by little on the door of the side hall. She was very reluctant to leave.
"Hurry back, I'm going in." The queen glared at her and turned to go inside.
The imperial concubine was so anxious that she took two steps after him and said, "Then persuade His Majesty not to call anyone else today. Wait until he is willing to see me, and then call them all together."
The queen ignored her and walked into the inner room.
The Royal Concubine waved at the three little heads and said, "Alright, you guys can have fun. I'm going back now." Then she walked out.
Ji Jinyou raised her head and looked at the Seventh Princess, and said in a low voice: "Seventh Sister, what happened to my father, the emperor, the queen mother, and my mother?"
The seventh princess shook her head. Ji Jinyou turned her head and looked at the eighth princess, who also shook her head.
When the empress walked in, she saw Emperor Wen Zhao sitting on a chair with a gloomy face.
She walked over and gently advised: "Your Majesty, how about we wait a little longer?"
Your Majesty has just been angered by her and the Royal Consort. If you call everyone here now, you might get angry again if you hear something stimulating later.
The empress did not explain her words, but Emperor Wen Zhao knew what she meant. He thought about it and nodded: "I will do as you say for now."
The queen breathed a sigh of relief.
Emperor Wen Zhao said again: "Go and call Xiao Jiu, just call her."
The queen did as she was told and went out to bring Ji Jinyou in.
Ji Jinyou didn't know what had just happened. Seeing that the emperor still had a sullen look on his face, she leaned tightly on the queen's thighs and secretly hid back.
When the empress saw this, she winked at Emperor Wen Zhao, indicating that he had frightened the child.
Emperor Wen Zhao wiped his face with his hand, then smiled a kind smile that an old father should have: "Xiao Jiu, you stay with your father today."
This unprecedented fatherly love that came out of nowhere made Ji Jinyou even more uneasy, and he took another small step behind the queen's legs: [Everyone help me, His Majesty's smile is so scary, do you know why he kept me here? ]
