Chapter 1336: Queen Mother: Wife, it hurts!
Xia Fengye looked at Xia Fengxiang as if he was looking at Xia Huachang.
It’s really different after becoming the emperor!
Xia Fengye clenched his fists, but then smiled calmly.
Right next to Xia Fengye, Feng Diaosi, the chief eunuch of the palace, had been waiting at the gate of the courtyard.
Old Diao Si, with his hands folded in his sleeves, saw the old prince looking at the emperor indifferently and said softly, "Old Prince, please do not be disrespectful in front of the emperor. It's time to pay your respects."
Feng Chun entered the palace during the reign of Emperor Yizong, having gone through three dynasties. However, at that time he was still a young man feeding horses in the Imperial Stables.
Later, Feng Chun met the young late emperor and was brought by the late emperor to serve as his personal eunuch.
Feng Chun knew the Thirteenth Master early on and understood him very well, as he had been hiding until the very end and emerged to compete with the late emperor for the Eastern Palace.
When Feng Chun first saw Xia Fengye, he saw
It turns out that this person is really imitating the late emperor.
The late emperor had a habit of not liking to be restricted in his clothes, so he always opened his clothes in front of his chest, and the King of Shu did the same.
The previous emperor had the habit of growing a beard and did not like to have a neat and beautiful beard. The King of Shu was the same.
More than ten years ago, a secret letter arrived from Shu. The late emperor opened it and laughed. He looked at Feng Chun and Yan Yunxiao and said, "Little Thirteen has begun to imitate me again. He has begun to imitate my playmate Jun Ru Peng Hu's tricks."
Feng Chun hadn't seen the Thirteenth Master for a long time, but when he heard the late emperor's words, Feng Chun could only think about it, but what he thought of was
How can others learn from the late emperor?
But now look
It's really weird!
The qi is weak and open, but not convinced, it is very messy!
Hearing Feng Chun's words, Xia Fengye smiled without bowing, and just said: "Your Majesty! I wonder what merit I have made."
Xia Tingyu glanced back at his father, but didn't say much. He just looked at the tables, chairs and dishes that were brought over.
He looked at Su Changan out of curiosity.
Su Changan saw Xia Tingyu looking at him and thought, then turned around and said, "Don't look at me. If you look at me, my wife will kick me!"
In fact, Su Changan didn't know why his wife cared so much about Xia Tingyu and himself, even though other girls didn't care like that.
But what can we do!
I can't make the decision on this matter.
So it’s best to stay away from Xia Tingyu.
But right now.
After thinking about it, he nodded to Xia Tingyu, indicating that I made it for you to eat.
Xia Tingyu raised the corner of his mouth, and he was not polite at all. He reached out and took a small meatball and put it in his mouth, looking at Su Changan with surprise.
Don't smile at me!
Xia Tingyu saw Su Changan's eyes saying this, and the corners of his eyes twitched, as if to say "Why!"
When Su Changan saw this scene, he immediately frowned and stopped watching!
Seeing that Xia Tingyu didn't have a handkerchief at hand, he immediately signaled to Qiu Shui, and he himself took two steps back, trying to stay away from him.
Xia Fengxiang looked at Xia Fengye and said, "Uncle Emperor has guarded Shu for decades and suppressed the An Lushan Rebellion. Isn't that a merit?"
Although he said so, the hand hidden in Long Guan's sleeve had already clenched into a fist.
Su Changan, besides me, you can also communicate with Xia Tingyu through eye contact, right?
You still understand what this vixen said, right?
Su Changan couldn't help but frown and glanced at his wife, feeling...
There is murderous intent!
Xia Fengye looked at the emperor and replied, "This is all thanks to Tingyu."
Xia Fengxiang smiled and said, "Saying this is the greatest achievement of the Emperor's uncle."
Xia Fengye was stunned.
Xia Fengxiang then spoke: "Xia Tingyu can enter the Ministry of State Affairs to discuss national policy, and be appointed as the Minister of the Left, the Governor of Yizhou, and the Purple Gold Guanglu Dafu."
Xia Tingyu heard this and bowed without further ado, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Xia Fengye looked at Xia Fengxiang who stopped less than three steps in front of him.
Xia Fengxiang said, "At first, I thought the Emperor's uncle would speak out loudly when he saw me, and then start to talk about himself, but I didn't expect the Emperor's uncle to just look at me like this. But I also thought the Emperor's uncle would do this, and that's the look he has now."
Xia Fengxiang smiled lightly: "The emperor's uncle looks at me as if I were the late emperor, right?"
Xia Fengye looked at the emperor, his lips curled up. "There's no need to deal with all this. Li Xizhi was mocking me outside, and Yan Yunxiao was even physically abusive. These were your orders, right? You'll also say something about punishing them later, further highlighting the difference in status between us. You'll let me know that you're the emperor, and I'm just an ordinary royal relative, with the power of life and death resting in your hands. And you just came in and offered to reward me, which is even more so."
Speaking of this
Xia Fengye stood up straight and looked at the old Xia Zi in front of him. "As for your boastful remarks, they are childish to begin with. The victors are the kings and the losers are the bandits. Since I'm the loser, I naturally have nothing to say. You and your father want to use me to pave a future for my only daughter. It's as you wish, as Xia Huachang wishes! And I'm willing to do it! But I didn't expect you to give her such power, nor did I expect you to trust her so much."
Xia Tingyu didn't do anything about this, she just sat there and started eating. After every bite, she would look at Su Changan with her fox eyes.
Su Changan is now on the other side of the yard.
Just hearing what Xia Fengye said, he couldn't help but look at Xia Tingyu.
But he happened to meet Xia Tingyu's eyes.
Su Changan did not avoid it this time, because he heard from Xia Fengye that she did not tell her father the truth.
Xia Fengxiang didn't seem surprised at all. He smiled and said, "A person who is willing to imprison herself in the capital, just so I don't kill her father and brothers and sisters, a person who only cares about her family and doesn't care about others, why can't I trust her? Moreover, this person has been with me for several years since childhood."
Xia Fengye was surprised, "Imprisoning yourself?"
Then he looked over there at Xia Tingyu.
Xia Fengxiang said, "I heard that you reviewed many things on your way here. I'm very curious. Now that you've left your position as King of Shu, you can see so many things clearly. Why did you end up thinking that my father and I were using Xia Tingyu? I'm even more curious. You clearly have children like Ruoyun, but you just said that Xia Tingyu is your only child. Ruoyun and the others might make mistakes, but they're no longer your children."
Xia Fengye frowned: "What do you mean!"
Xia Fengxiang looked at Xia Fengye with disappointment in his eyes. "Father said that you pushed him to death several times back then. I asked Feng Chun, Aunt Yan, and Uncle Eleven, and they all said that you almost forced Father to rebel just to protect yourself. But now it seems that you are really old and not as powerful as you were back then. Or maybe it was the people around you who were powerful back then, not you."
Xia Fengxiang turned around, but saw Su Changan pointing at the chicken on Xia Tingyu's table, as if to signal Xia Tingyu to eat that one, which was delicious.
Xia Tingyu also pointed at the chicken and looked at Su Changan in confusion.
Su Changan's eyes were firm, meaning that he would eat this, it was delicious!
Seeing his wife turned around, Su Changan retracted his fingers, his face expressionless and serious.
Xia Fengxiang smiled softly and turned to look at Xia Fengye: "Uncle, live a good life in the capital from now on. If you can't figure out these things, don't think about them. I saw you today without thinking of doing anything to you. I just wanted to see you by the way. You think too much. I want to see Xia Tingyu today."
After saying that, he turned and walked towards the hall.
Xia Fengye frowned. What did Xia Tingyu mean by imprisoning himself? What was it that I couldn't understand?
If she imprisoned herself, why should she be given such a powerful position!
Xia Fengye looked at the emperor: "Xia Qingge! What do you mean?"
"How dare you!" Feng Chun scolded immediately.
But seeing Xia Fengxiang raise his hand, Feng Chun stepped aside, but glared at Xia Fengye.
Xia Fengxiang said, "Because I'm very curious about what the Thirteenth Uncle, who was always praised by the Emperor, and who later the Emperor said had changed, looks like now. So today I want to see you."
Xia Fengye looked at Xia Fengxiang and didn't understand!
From the very beginning, I didn't understand what the little emperor was saying, especially what he was saying now.
The meaning of this sentence is exactly to see myself by the way.
By the way! ?
Most importantly, look at the disappointment in your own eyes!
It's true that the winner takes all.
But is this humiliating me?
Xia Fengye narrowed his eyes and looked at Xia Fengxiang: "You said you imprisoned yourself. Did Tingyu help you take over Shu and imprisoned herself in the capital in exchange for my life?"
Xia Fengxiang shook his head: "I have appointed her to such a high position, and she is sitting in the position of a prince. How can this be considered as imprisonment?"
Xia Fengye frowned, this was what he didn't understand!
It is only natural to exchange him for Tingyu's current position.
But what Xia Fengye just heard was that Tingyu had a deal with the little emperor.
Xia Tingyu couldn't bear to listen any longer. She looked at her father, who was obviously very smart but couldn't figure out this matter at all, and said, "Father, you treat me as your daughter, but the late emperor also treated me as his niece, and Your Majesty treats me as his sister."
Hearing this, Xia Fengye suddenly understood something, and couldn't help but twitch his lips: "Are you talking about family affection? Or do you mean that I haven't thought about family affection at all!"
Then, Xia Fengye looked at Xia Fengxiang with a mocking look on his face: "Are you talking about family affection in the Xia family?"
Xia Fengxiang asked in return: "Why not talk about it?"
Xia Fengye suddenly laughed: "The whole world belongs to the Xia family, and you tell me to talk about family affection in the Xia family?"
Xia Fengxiang said, "The world that the emperor's uncle talks about is too small."
Xia Fengye was stunned.
Seeing Su Chang'an coming to support him, Xia Fengxiang grabbed Su Chang'an's wrist and twisted it hard, but said calmly: "The world is not the world of the Xia family, nor the world of the royal family or the court of the Great Xia. The world belongs to all people in the world. It is a world where all nations come to pay tribute and the people of the Great Xia bow down."
Xia Fengye's pupils contracted.
Xia Fengxiang glanced at Su Chang'an, whose face was distorted, and smiled gently before saying, "In a world like this, anyone can talk about family affection. I just said that you thought that the late emperor and I would use Xia Tingyu to deal with you, but why can't you imagine that Xia Tingyu had long been planning to sacrifice herself so that you could live and so that her brothers and sisters could live? Do I need to see you before I can reward her? The emperor's uncle thinks too highly of himself. In my opinion, it doesn't matter whether the emperor's uncle is dead or alive, but Xia Tingyu wants you to live, so I agreed. Moreover, the late emperor didn't kill you, and I don't want to kill you either. Of course, this is not because I have any family affection for you, but because I don't want to do something that even my father wouldn't do."
Xia Fengye looked at Xia Fengxiang and laughed even harder. "You mean, Xia Huachang is very family-oriented? You mean, besides being cruel to Tingyu, I'm also cruel to my own child? Then tell me! How did Xia Huachang deal with your brother! That bastard born by Li Nishang! A prince, was thrown out to farm?"
Xia Fengxiang's expression became serious. "He's not a bastard! He's my younger brother! And I can tell you, it's because my father recognized him that he's alive. Otherwise, he wouldn't even have the chance to be born. Even if he was born, Zhu Huang, Zong Ze, Su Wenqing, and my eldest brother would have already tried to kill him. And he's in Zhu Huang's hands because my father wanted him to survive, not become a puppet in the hands of others. Don't compare you with my father. My father would never think of using his own children to accomplish his own goals. If my father knew someone wanted to kill me, he would rush forward and kill them without hesitation, instead of treating his daughter as a link in a power struggle, let alone letting his daughter's hands be stained with blood when she was young. He would just watch from the sidelines, under the beautiful name of educating her!"
Su Changan looked down at his wrist, under his sleeve. His wife was almost pinching the flesh off his wrist!
It was definitely not because of anger towards Xia Fengye.
Su Changan had been pinched so many times that he could feel that his wife was pinching him out of jealousy.
Su Changan bit his lips lightly and looked at his wife. "It hurts, my wife, it hurts~ When you say these words, please consider me. It hurts a lot."
Xia Fengye still smiled, "You mean Xia Huachang is so perfect? Then what about Yang Shanchang? Don't say you didn't see it! You..."
But just when Xia Fengye said this
Suddenly, an old man fell from the sky into the yard.
Seeing the old man, Xia Huachang's expression froze and he looked at the old man with dull eyes.
Feng Chun, Aunt Sun and the others even knelt down and said, "Greetings to the Grand Empress Dowager."
Everyone in the palace already knew about the existence of Tai Nai, the legitimate ancestor of the palace.
Especially since the grandmother had seen her face at Lingqi Pavilion before, it was natural for her to recognize her.
Xia Tingyu looked at Tainai in surprise.
Great-grandmother?
Can.
She had seen this old man!
Just when she came to Beijing last time, she was eating at a noodle stall when the old man came over and asked her if she could join him.
Xia Tingyu naturally didn't refuse.
They didn't talk much at the time. The old man just asked her a few questions about where she came from and how her family was.
Finally she wanted to send the old man home, but was refused.
Just like an old man he met by chance, Xia Tingyu didn't take it seriously at all.
But the old man
It turned out to be the great-grandmother.
My great-grandmother had come to see me before.
Bang!
Xia Fengye knelt on the ground and looked at his grandmother: "Grandmother."
Grandma didn't look at Xia Fengye. She glanced at Xia Fengxiang who was pinching Su Changan's arm, shook her head and didn't bother to say anything more. Instead, she looked at Xia Tingyu.
Xia Tingyu came to her senses and immediately knelt down: "Granddaughter pays homage to the Grandmother."
Grandma said, "Just call me Grandma. It's easy to pronounce. It sounds awkward to me. Get up and continue eating. Chang'an's cooking is pretty good, and I'm hungry after walking all the way."
Xia Tingyu immediately stood up respectfully.
"Royal Grandma, Imperial Grandma!" Xia Fengye knelt and moved toward Tai Nai.
"You're still as useless as before." Grandma looked at Xia Fengye, "That's why I won't let you become emperor."
…
P.S. I was supposed to take a break, but I realized I didn't have a leave request, so I quickly updated! That's why I'm late! Ah! I haven't had a break in a month!
