The Empress Wants To Be Deposed! - Chapter 18
Jiang Wanqiu had already walked over with the maidservant.
Although she is Princess Fu, she is still Song Jinning’s second wife according to the ranking, but for the royal family, you must first talk about the monarch and ministers before discussing family affection, so Jiang Wanqiu still has to salute Song Jinning when she sees Song Jinning and call her queen.
Song Jinning was not hypocritical, and calmly accepted her gift, and then smiled and greeted her with a smile: “Princess Fu, is this going to the palace to visit Princess Wei?”
Jiang Wanqiu replied: “My mother ordered people to send a letter, saying that she had been suffering from the old headaches since yesterday, and that I would go to the palace today.”
Song Jinning saw Jiang Wanqiu’s peaceful look, and knew that she herself didn’t believe this.
But what can I do if I don’t believe it? But Wei Taifei had a request, so she could only obey it.
Song Jinning is also helpless about this. After all, although she is a queen, they are both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, a family, and she doesn’t have the place for an outsider to intervene.
He nodded.
At this time, Li Xiyan also gave the paper kite in his hand to the maidservant, and walked over to talk to Jiang Wanqiu.
However, this child was originally a quiet temperament, and he was not good at talking politely in the scene, so most of the time he just stood by and smiled.
Song Jinning actually doesn’t like to make false statements. Fortunately, Jiang Wanqiu was anxious to see Princess Wei, and soon quit and left.
Li Xiyan watched her walk away and whispered: “Second sister-in-law is actually quite pitiful. I heard that Mrs. Wei is arrogantly trying to give me second concubines.”
“How did you know this?” Song Jinning couldn’t help being surprised.
Because she knows that Li Xiyan is a very nerdy temperament, she rarely goes out of the gate of Shoukang Palace, let alone the gate of the palace.
Moreover, her personality does not seem to be someone who takes the initiative to inquire about these gossips.
“It’s what I heard when the fateful wives went to the palace to gossiping with my mother’s queen.”
Li Xiyan replied very well-behaved, “And they not only told my mother’s queen about my second brother’s house, but they also told my mother’s queen about my eldest sister’s house.”
Song Jinning understood in seconds.
Those fateful wives would only say this if they want to go to the Queen Mother Song’s favor.
When the first emperor died, he left a will to the Queen Mother Song and Li Chengxuan, asking them to treat Princess Wei and her pair of children well. Although the Empress Dowager Song was forced by this and couldn’t deal with them on the bright side for the time being, she would always feel a little unhappy in her heart.
Because Taifei Wei used to run and bully her.
So knowing that Wei Taifei’s sons and daughters have had a lot of fun at home after they got married, Queen Mother Song will definitely feel very happy.
This is human nature, and there is nothing wrong with it. Song Jinning expressed his understanding in comparison.
Because if it were her, she must be the same.
Knowing that the person I hate is not doing well, then I will definitely feel very good in my heart.
In the imperial study room, Li Chengxuan was reviewing the memorials submitted by officials from various places.
When he raised his head for tea, Zhou Jing also offered two plates of snacks.
Li Chengxuan looked at them and saw that the two snacks were as green as jade. He hadn’t seen them before, so he asked curiously: “What is this? The new pastry researched by the Imperial Kitchen?”
Zhou Jing didn’t dare to conceal it. He bowed and replied: “In response to your Majesty, this is sent by the Empress Empress. It is just a folk snack, called the Youth League.”
Zhou Jing came from a poor family and had eaten this youth group when he was a child. He also ate wild vegetables during the famine year, so he could recognize it at a glance whether it was the last Haozi Ba Ba or the Qing Tuan this time.
If this were in the past, Zhou Jing wouldn’t be able to bring these two plates of snacks to Li Chengxuan at all. What is your majesty’s status? Son of Heaven, the Ninth-Five Lord, how can you eat these things? But this morning watching Li Chengxuan’s breakfast scene at Song Jinning, Zhou Jing suddenly became a little uncertain.
He thought, in fact, the empress is still smart. What kind of delicacies of mountains and seas have not been eaten since childhood? I’m afraid I’m tired of eating it a long time ago. Therefore, even if you take the most exquisite ingredients and ask the clever chef to cook carefully, it must be in the eyes of your majesty. On the contrary, these are the food in the mountains and villages, not to mention eating, I am afraid that your majesty has never seen it.
After all, whether you are a minister or a slave, who would dare to feed your Majesty the mountain and village food? And in order to please your Majesty and make him think that everyone in the world is rich, how dare you tell him that many people eat wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger? Therefore, your Majesty suddenly saw these, but he shouldn’t be surprised.
Taste it again, it turns out to be pretty good, which is not very interesting.
And sure enough, the next moment Zhou Jing saw Li Chengxuan eating three youth groups.
Zhou Jing: …
He kind of understands why his Majesty let him go to the imperial kitchen to be a one-day assistant last time.
Where is the reason why the water for making tea has been boiled too much, it is clear that he was arbitrarily advocating to get people to tear off the Daozi Ba Ba. Your Majesty is a good-looking person. It is not easy to blame him directly for this reason, so he casually found another excuse to punish him.
Zhou Jing thought to himself that when he was at home when he was a child, he heard his mother chat with a neighbor, saying that the parents of one family had married his son a daughter-in-law, and that son was not happy at first. I couldn’t stand the daughter-in-law cooking delicious food, which made the son’s appetite. Later, the son actually loved the daughter-in-law very much. The two had children, and lived a lifetime together with the United States and the United States.
It seems that your majesty and the queen are the same.
Li Chengxuan had already stretched his chopsticks towards the fourth youth group. Suddenly he heard the voice of someone outside applauding him, so he asked Zhou Jing to go out and see to see who dared to make a noise.
Zhou Jing took the lead. After a while, he came back to report: “It was the Queen Empress and Princess Jingle who placed the paper kite on the square in front of the Taiji Hall. The paper kite was placed very high, and the accompanying maidservant clapped his hands.”
Li Chengxuan held the Qingtuan’s hand for a meal.
Then he put down the chopsticks in his hand, ordered people to remove the remaining Youth League, and continued to review the memorial.
The daylight leaned into the hall through the carved windows, and the water-polished bluestone bricks were splattered with sun shadows.
There were birds of various colors hanging under the pillars outside the hall, tweeting non-stop. The Begonia tree in front of the temple opened a tree of flowers. When the wind passed, the pink petals were showered down, just like a petal rain.
After reading the two memorials, Li Chengxuan put down his pen and turned his head to look at the spring light outside the window.
When Zhou Jing saw the Weizhi writing, he whispered his suggestion: “Your Majesty, you have read the book for a while, why don’t you go for a walk and rest for a while?”
Li Chengxuan glanced at him and said nothing.
Zhou Jing’s heart was calm.
He would be wrong about Haozibaba last time, but this time he will definitely not be wrong.
He went on to say: “The slave heard your Majesty recite a poem before, and I remembered a poem very clearly. How many things are there in a year? It is rare that this spring is bright and beautiful, and your Majesty must not let it down.”
The steps were obvious enough, and Li Chengxuan finally nodded, got up and stood up.
“In that case, I will go out for a walk.”
Zhou Jing replied, and walked outside the hall behind him.
I couldn’t walk a few steps, and heard a woman’s laughter coming from ahead.
Zhou Jing secretly glanced at the look on Lee Chengxuan’s face, and threw another step in a timely manner.
“I think the queen and the princess are still putting paper kites in front. Your Majesty wants to go over and watch it?”
Li Chengxuan’s footsteps paused slightly.
After a while, he raised his foot again and continued to walk forward.
It did go in the direction of the Taiji Hall, but out of Zhou Jing’s expectation, he just stood on the side of the tall Danxi and didn’t take a step forward.
This location is located on the side of the main hall, which can give a sweeping view of the entire square in front of it, but because the main hall is obscured, people on the square cannot see here.
Zhou Jing was a little bit confused.
Judging from the situation this morning, the relationship between your majesty and the queen has eased a lot compared to the last time. Just now, your majesty learned that the queen put paper kites here and wanted to see it, but now he is here but he can’t stop. ?
Zhou Jing didn’t dare to ask, standing quietly behind Li Chengxuan with a whisk in his hand.
After a while, he heard Li Chengxuan’s voice suddenly sounded.
“Who is that woman?”
Zhou Jing knew that he was asking about the one who was talking to Song Jinning. Busily glanced carefully, and then replied: “I think it is Princess Fu.”
“Princess Fu?” Li Chengxuan had no expression on his face, “She often enters the palace?”
“Yes.”
Zhou Jing replied with a respectful voice, “Wai Taifei often feels unwell, so she will often call Princess Fu to attend the palace.”
Li Chengxuan snorted softly.
Wei Taifei’s body is not as strong as a cow, but she is definitely healthy. How can she often feel discomfort? Don’t take the opportunity to pass in and out of the palace freely for the princess Fu, what news?
He told Zhou Jing: “Send someone to serve with Princess Wei.”
Zhou Jingxin understood it, and hurriedly responded with a yes.
Li Chengxuan watched for a while, then turned and walked back.
Song Jinning looked so lazy, a person only interested in eating, unexpectedly would come out to put paper kites.
As for her bright and brilliant appearance when she just laughed…
Hmph, it can only be said that it is not ugly.
Li Chengxuan’s lips were slightly bent and his footsteps were brisk.
Jiang Wanqiu’s footsteps at this moment are very heavy.
She actually didn’t want to enter the palace.
Because every time you enter the palace, you will inevitably go to see Princess Wei. And every time you see Princess Wei, you will inevitably receive all kinds of ridicules from her.
But even if she walked slowly, Wei Taifei’s palace was close in front of her.
Jiang Wanqiu looked at the palace gate in front of him, took a deep breath, and raised his foot to cross the threshold.
Concubine Wei was lying on the couch with her eyes closed and rested. A maidservant knelt down in front of the couch with a beauty hammer in her hand and gently beat her leg.
“Have you come here yet?”
It was Princess Wei who was talking, with a slight anger, “Songzhi, you say, is she getting more and more disrespectful to my mother-in-law these days?”
The person she called to Song Zhi was the maidservant she brought from her natal house when she entered the palace, and she trusted her very much.
Pine branch is standing by the couch now. Wearing a beanie green neckline embroidered with winter jasmine flowers, he has a long face, high cheekbones, and looks a bit fierce.
The one next to the pine branch doesn’t work, provoking the first place. Hopefully the world is in chaos, so she can watch the excitement on the sidelines.
At the moment, I followed Wei Taifei’s words and continued.
“No. The slaves and maids looked at our princess’s shelf is not so big. When I was a girl, I depended on my talents, and who could I look at in my eyes? The slaves and maids could be audible, at that time. When the first emperor gave the marriage, our princess was actually unwilling in her heart. She cried for several occasions at home. She said that she was first-class good at piano, chess, calligraphy and calligraphy since she was a child. Good beloved, how come you want to marry King Fu. Niang Ma, you listen to her, it’s clear that our prince is not her beloved in her heart.”
As soon as these words came out, how could Tai Fei Wei endure?
With a soft snort in her nose, she opened her eyes.
“Who does she think she is? It’s just a daughter who has no real power. She can marry me because of the blue smoke on her ancestral grave. She is still not satisfied with this, so she dare not look down on me? I pooh! Yes! Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting are great? Which girl in the Qinlou Chu Pavilion does not know piano, chess, calligraphy and painting?”
The more you speak, the more angry.
The maidservant who beat her leg must have been frightened too. She didn’t have a good control over her hand for a while, and she threw her a little harder, but Tai Fei Wei took the opportunity to give her breath and kicked her directly to the ground.
“You don’t even care about serving me as a maidservant?”
After cursing, she called Song Zhi, “Take her to the yard and kneel.”
Pine Branch responded and pulled the maidservant’s arm out.
But just as soon as I left the hall, I saw Jiang Wanqiu walking into the yard with a maid. Busily turned his head to report to the hall: “Niang, the princess is here.”
