Chapter 75 Negative Example
Queen Song was both angry and sad, and her heart was broken.
She married into the palace with a sincere heart. She loved this man and was willing to control her temper for him and endure humiliation in the palace, only hoping that as time went by, the emperor would see her good side and that the couple would live in harmony.
But what did she get in return?
She left the palace secretly in order to follow him, but her willful impulsiveness did not win her the emperor's favor, but instead led to the innocent deaths of her own palace maids and guards.
She must be out of her mind to think that one day she could influence the emperor.
After Queen Song finished speaking, she glared at Emperor Chengde fiercely, then turned and left.
Emperor Chengde was left in a daze, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.
The queen who was as ferocious as a tigress just now was the gentle, graceful, non-competitive and low-key queen?
Suddenly, a handkerchief was extended in front of Emperor Chengde, and Chu Jinyan said expressionlessly, "Wipe it."
Emperor Chengde: "..."
Damn, he was the emperor, but he was actually intimidated by Song Nanyue’s aura. What’s even worse was that the girl’s saliva sprayed on his face.
"Son, why is the Queen so angry?" Emperor Chengde turned his head to look at Chu Jinyan and asked with a confused look on his face.
As a queen, leaving the palace without permission is a serious crime. Shouldn't she cry and beg for mercy as soon as she sees me?
Chu Jinyan looked at the emperor who was eager to learn, and said quietly: "The queen left the palace and went straight to Jiangnan. It was obvious that she came to find you. After she had a near-death experience, she finally saw you. Your first words were not comfort or concern, but accusation. So her grievances turned into anger."
Well……
Emperor Chengde was suddenly speechless.
It sounds like there is some truth to it.
"But why did she come to see me? I receive memorials every day, but I haven't heard of anything happening in the palace. If you count the pace, the queen left the palace almost only a few days after I left. This is too ridiculous."
Chu Jin turned his head speechlessly and made a silent note in his heart.
With his father setting such a negative example before him, he must take it as a warning and never make such a stupid mistake in the future.
His father probably used all his emotional intelligence on his mother.
Lu Mansion
Concubine Zhen was so anxious that she finally waited for Lu Youping to return home, and then she hurried to the front yard to find him.
"Brother."
Lu Youping had just sat down to drink a cup of tea and take a breath, when he saw Concubine Zhen coming to look for him, he immediately stood up and said, "Your Majesty."
"Brother, there's no need to be polite. Sit down and talk." Concubine Zhen was eager to know the news about the queen: "What's going on?"
Lu Youping did not keep the secret and said, "Xiangxiang came to the government office to tell me, but I really don't know why the queen came to Yangning City. His Majesty was furious when he found out. I sent the queen away and left. If the emperor doesn't say anything, then let's not mention this matter anymore."
"How did Xiangxiang meet the Queen?" Zhenpin asked in surprise.
Lu Youping said, "I don't know." His daughter came to the yamen to find him and only said that the queen was in Liuyang Inn, and didn't say much else.
"Send someone to interrogate her carefully." said Concubine Zhen.
This sounds strange no matter how you listen to it.
Lu Youping quickly stopped her: "What are you asking? This is about the Empress. It's best for Xiangxiang to keep her mouth shut, lest she say anything bad." Besides, if the cause and effect could be explained, why wouldn't she tell him clearly? The moment he saw the Emperor's rage, Lu Youping wished that Lu Xiang had never met the Empress.
No matter how curious he was, he held it back.
Upon hearing this, Concubine Zhen immediately gave up the idea of asking.
Although she stood on the side of Concubine Shu and wanted to rely on her, the Queen was not someone she could afford to offend. She must not fail to flatter Concubine Shu and end up getting herself into trouble.
Because the two maids who went with her were Qiao Jingru's people and witnessed the whole process, Lu Xiang also roughly told Qiao Jingru some of it. Qiao Jingru covered her pounding chest and glared at Lu Xiang with resentment: "Why did you come to tell me all this? I always feel that I am not far from death."
Lu Xiang looked at her exaggerated appearance and laughed, "Although the Queen is intimidating, she is not a person who kills indiscriminately. I am just afraid that the two women will not take my words to heart. They are your people, so you should teach them a lesson."
This is a royal matter, and she, as an outsider, cannot speak carelessly.
"Hearing what you said, it would be safer to put them somewhere else. I will transfer them to Qinghuiyuan." It is safer to keep them under his nose.
Because of the arrival of the Queen, Zhenpin naturally knew that the Emperor was in Yangning City. She originally thought of living with the Emperor. After all, it was not far from the Lu family, so she could come back at any time and serve the Emperor, which was the best of both worlds.
Emperor Chengde directly rejected her proposal.
The arrival of the Queen was beyond his expectation. He lived in his son's house, and Chu Jinyan's identity could not be hidden from the Queen. Moreover, the Queen had guessed it before he even revealed it. His son's identity had to be officially announced to the world after he returned to the palace. Before that, he must not let the news get out for a long time to cause trouble, so he couldn't ask Zhenpin to move in and let her notice anything.
However, because of this, the originally planned date for returning to the palace was moved forward by one month.
Because my son agreed!
Emperor Chengde would never have thought that the reason Chu Jinyan decided to return to the palace was not because she was moved by his sincerity, but because he heard that the Lu family would move to the capital after autumn, so he had to return to the capital in advance to gain a foothold, otherwise how could he protect her in such a place full of wolves and tigers.
The day before Concubine Zhen left, Lu Mingzhu brought her some embroidery.
Looking at the lifelike patterns, Concubine Zhen was delighted: "Mingzhu is indeed skillful, the Empress Shufei will definitely like it. Wait for me to ask the Empress for a reward for you."
Lu Mingzhu looked proudly at Lu Xiang who was sitting beside her, and then said with a smile: "It is Mingzhu's honor to be praised by the queen. I dare not ask for any more rewards. I just hope that my aunt will be successful in the palace."
"Oh, this little mouth is really good at talking." Zhenpin laughed, and then said, "Yesterday I suddenly received a letter from Shufei, saying that it was the Queen Mother's birthday, and the Queen wanted you to embroider a screen with a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix so that you can give it to the Queen Mother."
The old lady was shocked after hearing this: "The Queen Mother is so noble, would she be interested in folk embroidery?"
"Mother, it is precisely because the Queen Mother's food, clothing and daily necessities are all exquisite that our Mingzhu's outstanding embroidery skills can be better demonstrated. Since Concubine Shu has proposed this, she must have approved it. Although it will be given to the Queen Mother by Concubine Shu, if the Queen Mother is happy, Concubine Shu will naturally value Mingzhu more, which is of great benefit to both me and our Lu family."
