Yan Chengqi stayed in the imperial study for more than an hour. No one knew what he had talked to the emperor. However, according to the palace people who worked outside the imperial study, the second prince's Royal Highness came out of the imperial study with his head down and his face as if he were lost and extremely depressed. After coming out of the imperial study, Yan Chengqi went to Zhaoyang hall.
Empress Zheng was punished by the empress for copying ten volumes of Scriptures every day. On the third day, the empress sent the most powerful maids to collect them. After taking them back to the empress, the empress burned them in front of the Buddha statue.
Princess Zheng felt that the empress wanted to learn from herself and was not willing to copy the Buddhist scriptures herself, so she asked the powerful maids nearby to do the work for her. As a result, the queen saw that it was not her handwriting. She came to Zhaoyang hall in person, played thirty boards for the maid who copied the sutras for her, and fined her not to eat for one day. Until she promised that she would seriously copy the Buddhist scriptures, she would not let go of a dummy Yes, she did.
She felt that the queen was taking the opportunity to retaliate against her. Although she hated her teeth itching, she did not dare to do any more acts of cheating, so she was caught by the queen again and implicated her son.
As soon as she got up early in the morning, she began to copy the Buddhist Scriptures for more than an hour. As soon as she saw the Buddhist scriptures, Princess Zheng couldn't help but feel dizzy. She was half lying on the beauty's couch. The maid next to her, Chuqing, was directing several Maids to massage her hands and feet. Chuqing also held her shoulder and fed her clean fruit.
Imperial concubine Zheng ate the peach that Chuqing fed to her mouth, and said to the maid who beat her legs: "on the right side, be more forceful. Have you not eaten? Your mouth is so strong that even mosquitoes can't die."
The maidservant quickly apologized, then changed sides, and carefully added gravity channel. Seeing that Zheng Guifei showed a comfortable look, she carefully pressed and pinched it.
Zheng Guifei narrowed her eyes and enjoyed it, and asked Chu Qing to cut a banana for her. "I heard that the emperor's son has entered the palace. Did you find out what he did in the palace?"
In the morning, I heard that after Yan Chengqi entered the palace, imperial concubine Zheng was very upset. She went to the imperial study to steal the national jade seal. The empress knew that it was not as simple as she said. However, when she was found by Li Dehai, the imperial concubine did not have the Imperial seal in her hand, and she was still biting to find her own dropped earring. Without material evidence, the Empress Dowager would take it even if she did not believe her words She had no way, but to her surprise, the emperor did not order a thorough investigation of this matter, nor did he put her in the cold. Instead, she left the matter to the queen. Although the queen punished her to copy the Scriptures, which made her very dissatisfied, she had to say that the punishment was much lighter than she thought.
It is because the punishment is too light, she has been worried, because she can not understand the emperor's mind.
Thinking about it, Zheng Guifei was even more panicked. She refused the fruit Chuqing handed to her mouth and sat up, "what's the situation there? Do you have correspondence with the people of the Zheng family? "
The letter she wrote to her elder brother has not been answered, and she has also been refused to invite her third sister-in-law into the palace. This situation makes her feel bad.
"Everything goes as usual. Every day, Miss Zheng takes the little hall down to greet the empress and occasionally stays in the palace for two hours to chat with the empress." Chunqing road.
Go to the Queen's palace to greet her, but stay there to greet the queen. What is it that you want to do? Zheng Guifei's idea is out of the question.
After a while, the eunuch came to report that his Highness the third prince asked to see him. Hearing that her son came to see her, Zheng Guifei immediately got up from the beauty bed, stretched out her hand to straighten her clothes, and said to Chuqing, "Chu Qing, is my hairstyle disordered?"
Chu Qing reached out to straighten the seven tail Phoenix hairpin for her and replied, "it's not chaotic. It's very elegant in Athens."
When Zheng Guifei heard this, she put her hand into the golden hairpin on her head and said, "let's go. Go with me to see the third prince."
Yan Chengqi was placed in the side hall to wait. He sat on the chair, stretched out his hand and held his head. He was dazed. The hot tea that the palace people brought up was emitting wisps of white smoke. The fragrance of tea filled the whole room.
The aroma of tea made Yan Chengqi feel much better. He raised his head, took a sip of tea, which is his favorite Pu'er, and narrowed his eyes happily.
"Huang'er, have you recovered from your injury?" When Princess Zheng came in, she couldn't wait to jump up and reach out to touch Yan Chengqi's leg.
Yan Chengqi reached out to stop her behavior, "mother concubine, I'm ok."
Yan Chengqi held out his hand to hold the imperial concubine Zheng and sat down. "I heard that the mother concubine was punished to think about her mistakes behind closed doors. What's the matter? "
he asked casually, but his eyes did not move away from Zheng Guifei's body. When Zheng Guifei heard what he said, she froze for a moment, then looked away from Yan Chengqi's eyes and lied unnaturally: the mother's concubine only collided with the empress, so she was punished for thinking behind closed doors for a few days.
Imperial concubine Zheng clenched the handkerchief in her hand, and felt that she was looking for this excuse very well. Her son should not hear anything wrong.
Yan Chengqi stares at Zheng Guifei. After seeing her finish her speech, a look of complacency appears on her face. He knows that she is immersed in her imagination and thinks that he has been deceived by her. He smiles. Suddenly, he feels that his mother is too naive and always thinks he is intelligent.
But he didn't prick it. Since those people want to use their mother and son, let them make the most of it."The empress is too stingy. Such a small matter even punishes the mother and concubine to copy the Scriptures for a month, and is not allowed to leave Zhaoyang hall." Yan Chengqi defends the injustice for imperial concubine Zheng.
"No, she just took the opportunity to revenge on me, that small minded, vicious woman."
Hearing her son's agreement, Zheng Guifei felt more and more aggrieved and involuntarily said her inner thoughts.
Yan Chengqi put down his tea cup, patted her on the back and asked, "mother, have you contacted my uncle recently?"
"No, your uncle doesn't answer my letter at all."
Yan Chengqi bowed his head and his eyes narrowed slightly. His uncle didn't reply to his letter or his mother's letter. He was afraid that he had another idea in his heart.
He thought that he was useless, so he planned to abandon him. Maybe he wanted to take him as a target. My uncle is really good at calculating.
Yan Chengqi clenched his teeth, and his gills ached.
No, he must calm down and think about ways carefully. Mr. Liu left him a message saying that as long as he handled this matter properly, there would be room for him to turn the world around. He must not be led by the nose.
"Huang'er, what are you thinking? Laughing so hard? " Empress Zheng called out to him, and then saw him touching his leg. She was startled and asked, "huang'er, is your leg hurt again? Come, come, go and see the doctor. "
"My mother, I'm fine. I don't have to ask the grand doctor." Yan Chengqi stopped her, and he frowned. He felt that Zheng Guifei was too frightened. He caught the shadow in the wind at a small matter. He sighed impatiently in his heart, and he didn't want to stay to talk with Princess Zheng for a while.
He got up and straightened his clothes. He said to Princess Zheng, "the son is in good health. The mother doesn't have to worry about it."
"You are going back to your house." Zheng Guifei then stood up and looked at her son with great reluctance, "emperor son, don't worry, the mother will not let those who harm you."
When Yan Chengqi heard this, he immediately shook his head, "my mother, I will deal with my affairs by myself, so I don't have to worry about it. You can stay at Zhaoyang hall and have a leisurely life."
Worried about Zheng Guifei's restlessness, he told her again and then left.
In the study of King Kangle's mansion, King Kangle was sitting by the window reading a book. A boy in blue led a gentleman to come. The gentleman stood at the door and saluted Yan Chengan.
"Mr. Zhang, don't be too polite. Come in." Yan Chengan closed his book, got up, made a gesture of invitation, and asked Mr. Zhang to sit down and talk. Mr. Zhang clasped his fist, lifted up the hem of his robe and sat down. After serving tea, he quietly retired and closed the door. At this moment, there were two more guards at the door of the study, such as Zhong Kui.
"Mr. Zhang came in such a hurry, but what happened?" Yan Chengan sat down at the table and talked to Mr. Zhang across the table.
"Your Highness is a man of understanding." Mr. Zhang drank tea and looked at Yan Chengan with admiration. "The second prince went into the palace to see the emperor this morning."
"Oh, a little earlier than I thought." I thought Yan Chengqi would endure a few more days. Unexpectedly, King Jing and general Mu left Beijing only one day, so he could not wait to enter the palace to face the saint.
Yan Chengan smiles, full of disdain in his heart.
"I heard that the second prince's letter to general Zheng was like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no reply." Mr. Zhang is also smiling, his fingers stained with some tea, and wrote two words on the tea table.
Yan Chengan looked at the two words, tightened his eyebrows, and then showed a smile, "general Zheng is ambitious. I'm afraid it is another consideration."
"That would be better for your Highness's plan." Mr. Zhang said.
Yan Chengan shook his head. "It's hard to say that general Zheng is a cunning old fox. We want to make use of him and don't let him find out. It's not easy."
What's more, once he finds out their plans, he will certainly take advantage of them. In this way, although the Dayan Dynasty will be more chaotic, they may not be able to take advantage of it.
"General Zheng, let's not interfere." The more ambitious people are, the more suspicious they are. As long as they make good use of this, they will not be afraid that general Zheng will not be fooled.
Mr. Zhang pondered over these words and understood Yan Chengan's meaning in his heart.
"Mr. Zhang is the Minister of Guanglu temple. What happened to the emperor's medicated food can affect you?" Yan Chengan asked.
"Your Highness, don't worry. Zhang will act carefully."
"That's good." Yan Chengan nodded. He got up and went to the window. "When Jingzheng and general Mu are not in the capital, and the emperor is ill, we must carry out our plan quickly."
He clenched his fist and thought that the dog emperor would soon die in his hands, and his excitement was beyond description.
