Chapter 412
"Take me back to Changning Palace for a short stay?" Mu Xiyao frowned, pouted her mouth high, and shook the arm of the man beside her. "Your Majesty, there is one less interesting thing that my concubine usually has."
After the two of them had lunch in the side hall of the Imperial Study, Zong Zhenglin asked Gu Changde to move the memorial, and they went back to Mu Xiyao Palace for a lunch break. Unexpectedly, when she came back, she heard Zhao Mama's report that her son was taken away by the Queen Mother, but fortunately, Gui Mama Qing Ya was with her.
Is this the Empress Dowager's impromptu idea, or is she dissatisfied with the lessons she has given from the Holy Grace? There was a flash of light in his eyes, and he was not in a hurry to take his son back to the palace. Instead, he ordered Mo Lan to send some small things he used to.
There are only two things that matter most to a harem woman. Grace and Son! How could she fail to understand the play of seizing the child. It is said that it is a small residence, one or two years is "small", and three to five years is also "small". How can I get it back if I have raised a "deep affection". Without her son by her side, the holy family, in the eyes of the Empress Dowager, just wait until the emperor's enthusiasm for her passes away, and it will be exhausted in a blink of an eye.
Sneering in her heart, Mu Xiyao hugged Zong Zhenglin's waist and rubbed her head against his chest, not in a hurry.
That **** has promised her, no one will bully her mother and son. Although Mr. Boss has faded his clothes and has no credit, he is well-dressed anyway, and he has always made promises when he looks like a human being.
Seeing the little thing curled up in his arms wholeheartedly, kissing his cheek intimately from time to time, the emperor's originally stern face gradually calmed down.
Very good, this person doesn't have a heart, but he finally has a memory. Since he can cut off her way of clinging to the queen mother, he can naturally keep her living in the harem safely.
Embracing her to the bed, and tucking her quilt, Zong Zhenglin patted the top of her hair, his eyes soft. "In less than half a month, Chengqing Chengyou will definitely return to the palace. If you miss your son during this time, you can go to Changning Palace to pay respects. Do you know?"
The man's voice was gentle, and his eyes were focused and dark as he stared at her.
"Well, all the courtiers and concubines listen to the emperor." With his head exposed, a pair of small hands covering the quilt, his watery eyes blinking, his small appearance is very cute.
In this matter, she should not make a move. After all, the Empress Dowager is unmatched in the harem. If you are not careful, you can be charged with "contradictory" and "disrespect". She was not so stupid as to hit a stone with an egg, but He Lianshi caught her and punished her to stay in the palace for three months and not be able to see the king's face.
"Coax him to sleep before we go." Tiantian smiled, and lightly wrapped her little finger around Zongzhenglin's little finger. She was so delicate, but it made the emperor feel pain in his heart.
The Empress Dowager of Chang Ning Palace took away the two little princes from the Imperial Concubine Xi's palace. The news swept through the harem like a gust of wind, it was really gratifying.
The empress was overjoyed, her originally upright facial features suddenly became a little bit brighter.
When the Queen Mother opened her mouth, it was not easy for the Emperor to refute it, because after all, there was still filial piety on her head. The imperial concubine lost her son as an excuse to trip over the emperor's legs, the Lord Long Live should walk around the harem more. If she is free, she also has to go to the Empress Dowager's Palace and talk about daily life.
In Changning Palace, the Empress Dowager narrowed her eyes slightly when she saw the young son who was sitting on the left hand side, who was becoming more and more dignified, and fiddled with Buddhist beads one by one.
"Why, Ai's family hasn't seen the emperor and grandson for a long time, and he wants to get closer, so the emperor is reluctant?" All the eunuchs and maidservants in the palace were waved away, and it was much more convenient to speak casually.
The mother and child were together, and the queen mother was unhappy, so she didn't deliberately cover it up.
He was always the one who came early in the morning to pay his respects. When he came to her palace at this time, except for bringing back two grandchildren today, what else could be worth his special trip?
Hearing the anger in the Empress Dowager's words, Zong Zhenglin picked up the newly brewed tribute tea, lifted the lid, and was not in a hurry to reply. She only lowered her eyes and took a sip of tea, then raised her eyes, but her expression was indifferent, and she didn't get entangled in this matter.
"What did the queen mother say? I came here to tell the queen that I have summoned King Jing back to the capital. Yuzhou is not far from the capital. I think that in a few days, King Jing will be able to enter the palace to greet the queen."
Since the death of the first emperor, all the kings have mourned for half a month, and then returned to their fiefdoms. If there is no call from the new emperor, it will be difficult to set foot in Shengjing in this life.
If the ancestral system of the Great Wei Dynasty is like this, even if the queen mother misses her son, she can't take the initiative to say this. Unexpectedly, at this moment, the emperor suddenly heard that King Jing would return to Beijing, how could he keep a straight face.
"The fourth child is coming back? How long will you stay in Beijing this time?" Seeing that he was amiable again, seeing that he was coming for his grandson, the Empress Dowager looked very kind.
Emperor Jian'an put down the teacup, slowly leaned back in the chair, stroking the finger of his left hand with his thumb, his eyes darkened. "Mother, do you know what father and emperor will tell me before he leaves?"
Speaking of the first emperor, the queen mother was a little uncomfortable. By fiddling with the Buddha beads in his hand, he lifted his legs and feet to cover up, and leaned on the imperial concubine's couch. Tilting her armored little finger, she gently kneaded the space between her brows.
"When the first emperor was alive, the last days of his family were painful beyond words. He was so devoted to staying in front of the sick bed that he couldn't even remember the day, so how could he think about other things. In this way, the first emperor also explained important matters to the emperor?"
The imperial edict left behind by the first emperor was like a sharp sword, piercing her heart with blood and flesh, and now whenever she passed by the gate of Feng'an Palace, her heart throbbed like a needle.
Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces! Unprecedented in the history of the Wei Dynasty, it was extremely humiliating.
Emperor Jian'an's eyes flashed, and he saw all the changes in the Empress Dowager's expression before and after.
In Changning Palace, even if the door is wide open, and the sun shines through the window lattice into the room, he can only feel a chill in his heart. Forget it, you already knew it, didn't you?
Zong Zhenglin got up and lifted up the hem of his clothes, tidied up a little, took a deep look at the graceful and kind-hearted Empress Dowager sitting on the seat, and slowly responded.
"Since Chengqing Chengyou has been valued by the empress, she let the two boys stay in Changning Palace to disturb you for half a month. If there is mischief, the empress can discipline you."
"Also, the late emperor told me that once the court order is stable, we must make up our minds and proceed with the withdrawal of the feudal clan."
Seeing the emperor walking steadily and stepping out the door facing the sun, the empress dowager was stunned for a moment, and then her face changed instantly.
How about the grandson, how could it be as shocking as the withdrawal of the feudal clan! My mind was dizzy for a while, and I immediately thought of borrowing the elder son's connection and secretly pointing out the future of wealth and honor to my mother's family. The empress dowager rubbed her chest, almost out of breath.
Having raised him for more than twenty years, she didn't know Zong Zhenglin's temperament, so the Empress Dowager didn't expect him to support her family. Fortunately, she still has a son, doesn't she? The Jin feudal king has a fief, and if the Tian family wants to get ahead, they must rely on the big tree of King Jing. In the future, the emperor will always have to take care of his brothers.
At this time, King Jing was summoned to return to the capital, a big event was about to happen, how could he go back to Yuzhou! As soon as King Jing left, the Tian family took a hard-hearted look at Yuzhou. Wouldn't it mean that most of them lost their money?
"Once the court is stable", when did the previous dynasty experience turmoil since the beginning of the new emperor's ascension to the throne? Picking this time to withdraw the feudal clan... The Empress Dowager dropped the tea bowl in her hand with a slap, and was furious.
Mushi! She snatched her son with her front foot, and provoked her with her back foot. Really good skill!
Thinking of her natal family, the queen mother had to grit her teeth and endure this. After that, I have to find an opportunity to discuss with the emperor. But letting his grandson go back to Yuxiu Palace just like that, he was unwilling to do so.
This time, she had originally intended to test the emperor's attitude. It is hopeless to snatch the woman's two sons and raise them in front of her. If you procrastinate for a while, you can always give it a try.
After pondering for a long time, she became ruthless, and the queen mother asked her confidant to make some plans of her own.
