The Empress Wants To Be Deposed! - Chapter 69
Zhou Jing feels that his majesty is in a very good mood today.
First, after breakfast, when I walked out of the Yanggong Palace, I seemed to walk with wind, and then the corners of my lips kept rising without falling.
When I waited until the morning, looking at the blushing and thick necks of the next group of ministers arguing with each other over a trivial matter, his Majesty was not even angry, and he always sat on his lips and looked at him with a smile.
In the end, even the courtiers saw that he was unusual today. So there was a quarrel, and all the courtiers died down.
Because it’s boring. I didn’t see that the person sitting above was not at all concerned with the things they were arguing with.
The hall suddenly became quiet, and Li Chengxuan slowly recovered.
“Why, the result of the quarrel?”
He asked with a smile, and the corners of the courtiers’ mouths twitched, but they were speechless.
Li Chengxuan didn’t embarrass them about this trivial matter, but instead told Zhou Jing: “Today it is cold, ask the Imperial Dining Room to give the ministers a bowl of cold soup.”
The ministers knelt down to thank you. Li Chengxuan stood up, looked at the heavy snow that was falling outside the hall, and smiled: “Ruixue is a good year. All the Aiqings will stay here and drink the soup that warms the stomach before going back.”
He didn’t stay by himself, turned around and left.
Humph, how can the soup made in the Imperial Dining Room compare with that made in the small kitchen of Weiyang Palace?
And as it is said that one day is like three autumns, he hasn’t seen Song Jinning in the whole morning, can’t there be two autumns?
So braved the heavy snow and went to Weiyang Palace.
Song Jinning was sitting on the couch by the window, preparing to have lunch, when she was surprised to see Li Chengxuan walking in.
Didn’t you just leave in the morning? Why are you here now?
“Your Majesty, have you reviewed the notes?”
Not more than in the past to ask this sentence in a tactful chase, this time she is asking sincerely.
“No.”
Li Chengxuan sat down on the couch with a magnificent golden sword, and answered frankly, “I just got down. I was thinking of you in my heart, so I came over immediately.”
Song Jinning: …
Didn’t you love face before? How come this kind of words can be said so naturally and smoothly now?
I always felt that after the events of last night, this master seemed to have unlocked a certain seal.
Li Chengxuan, who didn’t treat himself as an outsider at all, asked Gu Yu to bring him another pair of bowls and chopsticks as soon as he sat down.
He pointed to the hot pot on the kang table and asked, “What is this?”
“hot pot.”
Song Jinning picked up thin slices of mutton and put them in the pot, “It’s great to eat hot pot on a snowy day.”
It really fits well.
The snowflakes outside the window were still falling rustlingly. Inside the window was a red peat stove. On the stove was a small copper pot gurgling hot. The bowls and dishes placed on the table are filled with processed ingredients. If I want to eat something, I put it in the pot and rinsed it, and then eat it hot, so it’s warm.
If you’re tired of eating, you can put down your dishes and turn your head to enjoy the snow.
Can such a day be uncomfortable.
Li Chengxuan obviously likes such a day. While eating hot pot while chatting with Song Jinning, he turned his head and glanced at the Liuli World outside the window from time to time.
After lunch, Li Chengxuan instructed Zhou Jing to take today’s memorabilia to the warm pavilion of Weiyang Palace for his review. As for Song Jinning, she leaned against the backrest with a blanket on her legs to read the script.
Even though the snow is blowing outside the window, there are two big braziers in the hall, so it doesn’t feel cold at all.
Song Jinning had been tossed and didn’t sleep well last night, and now she couldn’t help but fall into sleepiness. After Li Chengxuan finished reviewing the two memoirs, when she looked up, she saw that Song Jinning’s words had already fallen on the couch, and she closed her eyes and leaned on the backrest.
Can not help but laugh. Then put down the pen in his hand, walked over and put her head on the couch and fell asleep.
Reached out and pinned a strand of broken hair beside her cheeks behind her ears, looked at her sleeping face again, and then turned around and continued to review the notes.
The snow fell silent, and the world seemed to be silent. Obviously it makes people feel lonely and lonely, but Lee Seung-hsun feels happy and content in his heart.
He thought, this is because Song Jinning is by his side.
Even though he is an emperor, he always feels that the heights are too cold, and he also feels that there is something missing in his heart. But from now on, there will be such a person who will always stand side by side with him.
So despite the silence of the world, his heart is peaceful and stable.
Time flies, and the New Year is almost in the blink of an eye.
A lot of things have happened in the past two months.
First of all, the marriage of Li Xiyan and Li Jianan has been settled.
The wedding date was originally planned for the beginning of spring after the new year, but the Queen Mother Song felt very reluctant to let Li Xiyan spend more time with her, so the wedding date was postponed to the autumn day when the osmanthus fragrance fragrant in August.
Second, the Empress Dowager Song had mentioned the draft to Lee Seung-sun, but Lee Seung-sun refused.
The Empress Song wished that he and Song Jinning had a good relationship, but the fact that the two of them got married and still have no children is indeed quite worrying.
In the past, Li Chengxuan was always silent when talking about his heirs, but this time when the Empress Dowager Song mentioned it euphemistically, Li Chengxuan made an oath and said that he would soon have it.
Song Jinning who happened to be there:…
Master, do you think you are going to the vegetable market to buy vegetables when you are pregnant, so it’s as simple as that? Are you too confident about me or yourself?
Facts have proved that Li Chengxuan’s self-confidence is on the one hand, and on the other hand, he is also well versed in the truth of diligence and play. So Song Jinning felt that she hadn’t slept well at night during this period of time.
Although she almost didn’t sleep well at night some time ago…
It can only be said that young people are really strong and fierce, and their physical strength is not so good.
And under Li Chengxuan’s tireless ‘cultivation’, Song Jinning did receive good news soon.
It’s just that the timing of this good news is really not so good.
It was on New Year’s Eve that the ancestors were worshipped in the palace, and all the relatives of the emperor entered the palace on that day.
After offering sacrifices to ancestors, it is customary to share sacrifices of meat.
To be honest, this sacrifice meat is very unpalatable.
Just boil it in white water and leave it alone. The key is that the ancestors of the Li family, who have won this world, feel that they have suffered a lot during their entire life in the army and cannot let their children and grandchildren indulge in peace. Therefore, this sacrifice meat has only been rolled in boiling water twice, and it is not fully cooked at all.
So that when the sliced meat was brought to Song Jinning, she could see the red blood on it.
Song Jinning: I just don’t understand what the old ancestor thought. Those of his descendants have become emperors and kings, and see the beauty of the heavens, but if you eat these pieces of raw meat on New Year’s Eve, can you really not forget the hardship?
Anyway, Song Jinning felt that she definitely couldn’t. Not only couldn’t, even she couldn’t control the red blood on the slice of meat and felt her stomach surge.
Picked and picked with chopsticks twice. The meat slices had not been delivered to the mouth, and there was a smell of fishy smell in the nose, and he almost vomited it out without holding back.
Just put down the chopsticks and looked around at other people.
They are all descendants of the Li family. You can’t just eat the raw meat by Li Chengxuan, and other relatives of the emperor and country have to come and eat it together.
Similarly, the Queen Song Jinning cannot be eaten alone, and other relatives of the imperial family have to come and eat together.
The difference is that the men eat in the main hall, and their female family members eat in the side room.
So Song Jinning once again met Jiang Wanqiu, who was still not blessed by the princess at this time.
The last time I saw Jiang Wanqiu was at the Queen Mother Song’s birthday banquet. It has been four or five months since then, so I suddenly saw Song Jinning today, and she was still a little dazed.
However, unlike last time, this time Jiang Wanqiu was dressed quite well as a princess, not the slightest overstepping.
Want to come too. The royal rule is the most important. Last time Jiang Wanqiu was ingenious at the Empress Dowager Song’s birthday banquet. She did not wear the princess’s clothes and jewelry in accordance with the princess’s system. Afterwards, not only did the Song dowager reprimand him, but also Li Chengxuan also sent special reprimands.
This incident can be said to be known to all the people in Beijing. Wei Taifei and Fu Wang felt shameless, and both criticized Jiang Wanqiu.
Even Wei Taifei several times urged the Fu Wang Xiu to abandon Jiang Wanqiu and make her a concubine.
After all, Wang Fu still thought that he didn’t do this in the relationship between husband and wife in previous years, but he became more and more indifferent to Jiang Wanqiu. Not only did she deprive her of the right to be in charge of Fu Wang’s palace, she was handed over to his new concubine, and she was also forbidden to leave her courtyard if she had to do something important.
Now that the child sacrifices to the ancestors, if the concubine is not required to attend, Fu Wang will not bring her together.
Jiang Wan Qiuyuan is a person who makes skin for the snow in the intestines, and has to face the wind and sorrow and cry at the flowers. How can he withstand such a strong force? So in the past four or five months, she was lazy in eating and drinking, she couldn’t sleep well at night, and her skinny was almost out of shape.
So Song Jinning was very surprised when she saw her just now. Because she was too short to recognize her.
Even if Song Jinning caught Jiang Wanqiu’s gaze accidentally, she still couldn’t help being surprised.
Nothing compares to Song Jinning’s willfulness as a queen. Even though the ladies who are not tired of daily life and eat the meat, they also find it extremely difficult to swallow the meat, but they all swallowed with difficulty with their necks.
After all, there is only this once a year, and what is more important is that the queen is still sitting above her, so she has to bear it even if it tastes bad.
Only Jiang Wanqiu. Xu Ye’s spleen and stomach are indeed too weak, but Song Jinning doubts whether she has anorexia recently, otherwise she won’t be as thin as she is now. In short, the chopsticks caught a small piece of meat, and before it was delivered to the mouth, he raised his hand to cover his mouth and couldn’t help retching.
Just as the saying goes that good things don’t go out and evil things go for thousands of miles, Jiang Wanqiu’s family members of the wealthy and powerful families in the capital at the Song Empress Dowager’s birthday banquet all knew about it, so seeing her suddenly like this, the ladies in the hall were surprised. Some people watched the show, and some felt that Jiang Wanqiu was deliberate.
After all, it’s not just to show that I can’t help but the pitiful differences everywhere.
Song Jinning was also taken aback by Jiang Wanqiu. The first thought that came to mind was, is she pregnant?
It’s no wonder that she thinks this way, it’s not often acted like this in TV dramas. In short, if the heroine suddenly vomits or faints, the eight or nine are pregnant.
Don’t they know that as long as there is a relationship between husband and wife, and then the menstrual affairs do not come on the day when they should come, they might be pregnant?
Song Jinning suddenly stunned when he thought of this.
Because she suddenly remembered that she seemed to have not had a monthly event for more than a month…
Does she have this too? After all, she did feel a little nauseous when she smelled the sacrifice meat just now.
A heart that couldn’t stop it jumped suddenly, sweaty in the palm of his hand.
If it really is, then this thing is too terrifying. Because she was not ready to be a mother at all.
It’s messed up in my heart. Therefore, for the two princesses in the temple who stood up and told her that Jiang Wanqiu had not eaten the meat and made such a gesture, it was obviously a disrespect to the ancestors and the ancestors, the voice of the empress, and Jiang Wanqiu crying in tears. He didn’t distinguish disrespectful ancestors and ancestors, Song Jinning only felt noisy.
She has a headache if it is really noisy, and she is upset because it is noisy.
Raised his hand to signal them to be quiet. The two princesses were okay, and they stopped talking after they were guilty, but Jiang Wanqiu was still crying.
If it was in the past, Song Jinning wouldn’t say anything at all. But now she herself was upset, and she couldn’t hear anyone still crying in her ears.
He gave a sharp stop: “Don’t cry.”
Although Song Jinning is a queen, she is younger than the relatives of the emperor’s relatives present here. Secondly, she has a beautiful appearance. She usually smiles when she talks with people. Looks very close, so the ladies are not afraid of her.
Unexpectedly, she suddenly shouted with anger now, still very majestic.
Not to mention that all the members of the family were frightened and bowed their heads, even Jiang Wanqiu stopped crying.
Song Jinning slowed down, raised her hand and squeezed her eyebrows a few times.
Then she called a palace attendant to come and order him to go to the imperial hospital and call an imperial doctor to show Princess Fu to see.
The palace attendant promised to turn around and was about to go, but saw that the quilted curtain on the door was opened. Then I saw Li Chengxuan walking in with his foot raised.
For a while, the people in the temple knelt down to respectfully invite Sheng’an.
Song Jinning did not kneel. However, in order to be in front of others, he still wanted to give Li Chengxuan a bit of face, so he got up from the chair and saluted Li Chengxuan.
Then asked: “Why are you here?”
According to the rules of the ancestors, shouldn’t it be her who led her family members to eat sacrificed meat in this side hall, and Li Chengxuan led the emperor’s relatives in the main hall?
“I’ll come and take a look.”
He helped Song Jinning to sit down in the chair and glanced over the plate with the meat sacrificed in front of her, and as expected, nothing moved.
These sacrifices were hard for him to swallow, not to mention Song Jinning. However, according to the rules laid down by the ancestors, the sacrifice of meat must be eaten up.
He took the ivory chopsticks in his hand and ate all the sacrifice meat in the plate.
At Song Jinning’s surprised look, he smiled slightly: “I am a little hungry in my belly.”
With that, he put down the ivory chopsticks in his hand, said a few words to her, and then turned and went to the main hall again.
I didn’t even look at the other people in the temple during the whole process.
Song Jinning wasn’t a fool, so she couldn’t see him. She knew that she didn’t like these sacrificed meats, so she came over to eat them for her.
But he didn’t want to admit it stiffly.
This person is really too much to save face.
Song Jinning felt amused and moved.
In any case, Li Chengxuan always used his own appearance to treat her well.
As for Jiang Wanqiu…
Song Jinning looked at the beautiful woman who was still sitting in the chair and weeping silently, thinking silently, although Jiang Wanqiu is the true love of Lee Seung-hsun according to the original plot, what is the so-called butterfly effect, what is fixed in the world?
Since Li Chengxuan is pleased with her now, and she doesn’t mean to like Jiang Wanqiu at all, why should she bother with the original plot?
Just follow my own heart and stay with Lee Seung-hsun for the time being. As for whether Lee Seung-hsun will empathize with him in the future, that’s something for the future, and it won’t be too late for her to make other plans when it happens.
After all, she is not the kind of person who gives up her present happiness for what might happen in the future.
Once the idea in her mind was settled, she didn’t feel much about Jiang Wanqiu.
Just sit and talk some gossip with these inmates.
When the imperial doctor invited by the palace attendant came, Song Jinning ordered him to see Jiang Wanqiu.
I’m not pregnant, but it’s because I eat less and eat less during this period of time because my spleen and stomach are not healthy.
Song Jinning asked the doctor to open a pharmacy to Jiang Wanqiu.
The imperial doctor knelt down and received the order, but Jiang Wanqiu was still sitting, without a word of expression.
Actually Song Jinning didn’t want her to express anything.
Although she is a queen, she actually doesn’t like others to kneel to herself casually.
It’s just not expressing it. What do you mean by looking at me with that resentful look?
But Song Jinning quickly understood.
According to her previous inference, although Li Chengxuan had no intention of Jiang Wanqiu, Jiang Wanqiu still fell in love with Li Chengxuan according to the original book.
Then you can’t treat her as a rival in love.
Understand and understand, but now Song Jinning is definitely unwilling to give in.
But she didn’t want to care about Jiang Wanqiu, so she ignored her bright and resentful gaze.
It was too early, and a palace attendant came in and said that the princes outside were about to leave the palace, so the family members in the side hall also stood up to say goodbyes to Song Jinning.
The imperial doctor also wanted to make a speech, but Song Jinning left him behind.
Although her monthly affairs are always inaccurate, she has never taken it seriously in the past, but this is not because Li Chengxuan’s ‘cultivation’ is really too diligent these days, so it’s better to let the imperial doctor give her the next pulse.
But she didn’t want to make this matter known to everyone now, so she asked the imperial doctor to get her pulse in front of her when all the servants in the palace had left.
Song Jinning walked out of the side hall only after about a stick of incense.
Then I saw that there were only a few servants on duty in the main hall.
So Song Jinning’s face became even worse.
“Where is your majesty?” she asked a palace attendant standing at the door of the temple.
Just heard the palace attendant said that the empress dowager had just called for the summons, your majesty went to Shoukang Palace.
Song Jinning was a little surprised.
The Queen Mother Song is smart. She would never come on occasions like today. Whoever likes to eat the meat that is not cooked at all, and talk to the whole family. Therefore, the lord of the harem has long been excused and is now the queen. Her excuse for the empress dowager to take care of her life is no longer available, but how can she send someone specifically to call Li Chengxuan in the past?
Could it be that something extraordinary happened?
After thinking about it, he raised his foot and headed directly to Shoukang Palace.
Anxious, Gu Yu called her from behind: “This ground is slippery, mother, please walk slowly.”
Song Jinning turned a deaf ear and walked quickly.
I just walked to a corner and suddenly heard someone talking in front of me.
The voice sounds familiar.
Song Jinning stopped, and Gu Yu and Bai Lu who were behind her also hurriedly stopped at the same time.
The three of them walked forward lightly, and when they got closer, their voices could be heard more clearly.
Then Song Jinning felt a little dumbfounded.
It turns out that Jiang Wanqiu always believes that Li Chengxuan should be infatuated with her. I don’t want to last time at the Queen Mother Song’s birthday banquet that Li Chengxuan did not fall in love with her as her dream predicted, and still ignored her.
On the contrary, after the birthday banquet, she was repeatedly reprimanded by the Empress Dowager Song and Li Chengxuan, and for a while became the laughing stock of the family members of the powerful and powerful in the capital.
Princess Wei is the most face-conscious. After knowing this, she was furious and asked King Fu to come to Beijing. She forced King Fu to abandon her and marry a virtuous and virtuous woman to be the princess.
Although Fu Wang has withstood the pressure from Wei Taifei for the time being, he still criticized her a lot. Not only established a new side concubine, but also seized the right to give her in the palm of her hand and restrained her.
Jiang Wanqiu knew very well in her heart that Princess Wei had long been dissatisfied with her, and now that something like this happened again, how could she be able to tolerate her? It is certainly not letting go.
Fu Wang is also a filial person, and sooner or later he will abandon her at the words of Princess Wei.
Her parents are dead, and her only brother and sister-in-law are in her family. Once she is divorced, her family will definitely not have a place for her.
When she wanted to come, the best ending for her was to find a green lantern ancient Buddha in the nun’s nunnery for this whole life.
How can Jiang Wanqiu be willing to do this? She always believed in her heart that she should be a queen.
So just when I saw Li Chengxuan in the side hall, she decided to make a desperate fight for herself.
After leaving the temple, he found a reason to leave King Fu for the time being, and then ordered his maid to falsely claim that she was a maid in Shoukang Palace, saying that her Majesty Song had something to do with the Queen Mother.
There are more than dozens of court ladies in the Shoukang Palace, and Li Chengxuan keeps everything in mind, so naturally it is impossible to recognize all of them.
He didn’t have any doubts at the moment, only thinking that Queen Mother Song did tell him to have something in the past, so he turned and headed towards Shoukang Palace.
Jiang Wanqiu had been waiting on the road he had to pass long ago, and when Li Chengxuan came over, she immediately rushed out and blocked her way.
Li Chengxuan had a very bad impression of her, and when he saw her blocking the way, he immediately urged her to step away.
But Jiang Wanqiu knew that this was her last chance, how could she let it go?
Simply knelt down in front of Li Chengxuan, reached out and grabbed a corner of the dragon robe, crying to Li Chengxuan about her dream that night.
She wouldn’t say that this was a dream she had suddenly dreamed of herself. She just pretended to kneel and worship in front of the Buddha that day. When she fell asleep at night, the Bodhisattva fell into a dream, saying that she was pitying her for piousness, and she specially came to tell her that it would happen in the future. Thing.
“Your Majesty, your concubine and you are a match made in heaven, a marriage recognized by the Bodhisattva.”
Finally, Jiang Wanqiu cried and summarized with this sentence.
Li Chengxuan laughed angrily.
However, he felt that he could stand in the cold wind and insist on listening to Jiang Wanqiu’s crazy words, and he really admired himself.
“So this maid is not the maid of Shoukang Palace, but your maid?”
This is the first sentence Li Chengxuan asked.
The maid had already knelt down, and now she knelt and shivered on the ground.
She also didn’t want to listen to Jiang Wanqiu’s words. But she is a maid and doesn’t listen to her master. What will happen to her after she goes back?
“Your Majesty, the concubine can’t. If you don’t do this, the concubine will have no chance…”
This time, Li Chengxuan didn’t even listen to her to explain it. He turned his head and said to Zhou Jing: “You know what to do with the false ruling of the Queen Mother.”
As for other charges such as not being shameless, Li Chengxuan no longer wants to give Jiang Wan Qiu’an.
She is shameless, and the royal also needs a face. Besides, this fake rumor of the Queen Mother’s decree was enough for her.
Zhou Jing hurriedly bowed and replied, “Yes, the slave knows.”
Li Chengxuan turned and raised his foot to leave, Jiang Wanqiu naturally grabbed the corner of his robe and held on.
Because the force was too great, I heard the sound of the fabric cracking, and the corner of the robe was actually torn open by Jiang Wanqiu.
Li Chengxuan’s face sank instantly.
“Zhou Jing!”
Disdainful of talking to Jiang Wanqiu again, he directly called Zhou Jing.
Zhou Jing understood, and hurriedly called the two servants who followed him to pull Jiang Wanqiu away.
In order to prevent Jiang Wanqiu from yelling at Li Chengxuan again, a servant who was quick-eyed and swiftly stuffed the veil he was carrying into her mouth.
Li Chengxuan didn’t look back at this, but just turned around and left.
Then when he walked around the corner in front, he saw Song Jinning leaning on the palace wall looking at him with a smile.
