urge Zhao to marry

Chapter 321 Crow's Mouth

Because of the changes in the Taimiao, people in the capital are also in panic.

However, there have long been rumors that King An will ascend the throne.

Now less than half a month has passed since the death of the former emperor, and the new emperor ascended the throne. The great historians who lived far away from the frontier probably only received the urgent news of [-] li, so naturally they couldn’t make it back to attend the new emperor’s enthronement ceremony.

Besides, the former emperor was able to be assassinated in the Taimiao, and the two princes who lived well in the end were obviously abnormal.

What's more, King Yan was taken away in the end, leaving only King An who had ascended the treasure.

If there is nothing tricky in it, then there is a problem.

However, the people in the capital are still looking forward to the prosperity of the country and the safety of the people.

When the loud bells and drums sounded, all civil and military officials followed the new emperor to the Taimiao to offer sacrifices, and the grand ceremony began.

Although the previous Taimiao assassination caused the heads of many officials to fall.

In fact, those who died were all thorns that King An thought would not submit to him.

When those people died, he decreed that the servants of the six departments should be named ministers, so that King An could recruit some more people.

On the side of the clan, King An had already been prepared to take advantage of their weaknesses, or 'invite' their valued children and grandchildren as guests.

Therefore, there are not many voices of opposition, and even a hasty ascension to the throne seems very lively.

The palace was decorated with lanterns and festoons everywhere, with rituals and music fluttering, and orders from various families also entered the palace to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager.

Qin Jiashu and his younger brother were finally invited to Kunning Palace by the maids today to meet the empress.

Eunuch Wu, the chief eunuch of Kunning Palace, raised his smiling face and said in a soft voice, "Missy and Young Master are here. It just so happens that the Crown Princess of Xuanping Hou Mansion is inside paying her respects to Empress Empress?"

Qin Jiashu and his younger brother looked at each other, and then they were overjoyed and said: "Thank you, father-in-law, we will go to pay respects to the empress."

The siblings have been in the palace for ten days and have been trapped in the Changle Palace. They can only sneak out at night to familiarize themselves with the surrounding environment.

Therefore, they couldn't get up in the morning, which made the siblings seem very lazy.

But because of this, the doubts about them have been eliminated a lot.

Of course, the Kunning Palace today is also very lively, with many orders surrounding the empress to speak flattering words.

Qin Jiashu and his younger brother didn't dare to look around, so they went to pay their respects to the empress first.

The queen also seemed very kind, and she smiled after she called out: "Your mother is here too, and you are next door now, why don't you go ask An to talk?"

The Qin Jiashu siblings followed the maid to the next door, and seeing Mu Zhaozhao sitting there with a pale face and a little sickly haggard, they asked worriedly, "Mother, how are you doing?"

Mu Zhaozhao took his daughter's hand and squeezed her palm, but he forced a smile on his face, with sadness in his eyes: "There is no news about your father so far, can I not worry?"

Qin Jiashu understood in seconds, what mother said meant that father was safe now.

If dad has news, is that bad news?

She also noticed that there was something extra in her hand, so she pouted and said angrily: "I'm not a mother yet, I'm thinking about that stupid thing, and I have to force Dad to go out."

Immediately he said again: "Daughter needs to take care of everything in the palace, mother, did you bring me a bank note?"

This statement is really savage and contradictory.

While despising that his parents valued money, he reached out for money at the same time.

The four maids who 'accompanied' looked at each other, but they didn't dare to be careless, and kept staring at them.

Mu Zhaozhao stared at his daughter angrily, and breathed with his mouth open: "You, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Then he angrily took out the purse from his sleeve pocket and threw it to his daughter: "Take it, there are 1000 taels of silver in it."

Qin Jiashu resisted not to pick it up, but as expected, one of the maids stretched out her hand, took the purse in her hand, and saluted with a smile: "Miss, this servant will hold it for you."

They were ordered to follow Qin Jiashu, but they were worried that they would take the opportunity to exchange news.

Mu Zhaozhao stopped looking at his daughter, but looked at his son lovingly and said, "Ah Chen, will my mother come to pick you up in two days?"

Qin Yichen rebuffed straight away: "No, the palace is very interesting, I want to stay in the palace with my sister."

An eunuch not far away also secretly heaved a sigh of relief. This young man wakes up from a late sleep in the morning, and several eunuchs will accompany him to fight crickets, cockfights, or take a stroll outside. Not to mention how comfortable it is, now I can't think of leaving.

Mu Zhaozhao held his heart in his hands, as if he was about to be vomited blood by his own sons and daughters: "You, you..."

Qin Jiashu was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Mother, please calm down, my brother can get along well with the princes now, this is a good thing that many people can't ask for, you can let your brother stay in the palace again some days?"

The corners of the maids' lips curled up.

This is because the master is impatient to see them, and can only appease them, so he just let the princes and princesses come around for a few times.

However, Wang An's sons were indeed about the same age as Qin Jiashu, and they would occasionally get together to fight cocks or something.

It seems that the eldest miss of the Qin family really wanted to stay in the palace, that's why she said that in front of her mother.

Now, even if Mu Zhaozhao wanted to refute, he didn't dare to say anything more in front of the maids, so he could only stare at his daughter with hatred, and said helplessly: "Okay, when your father comes back, I will let you He came into the palace to fetch you back."

A middle-aged female official came in and bowed: "Shi Zifei, the banquet is about to begin, please?"

Then he said to Qin Jiashu: "The empress dowager would like to see the young lady and the young master, please."

Since they were not allowed to continue talking, Qin Jiashu's eyes lit up, and he looked heartless: "Okay, let's go see the Queen Mother right now."

On the way there, he even inquired side-by-side when the emperor would go to pay his respects to the empress dowager.

When he came to the Empress Dowager's side, after Qin Jiashu had greeted him, he was arranged to be seated.

She took the opportunity to look around, but saw a lot of familiar ladies.

Among them were not only classmates from the women's college, but also some young ladies whom they had met as guests. However, some of them had panicked expressions on their faces, while a small half of them showed joyful expressions.

However, since she also had a happy expression on her face, she didn't dare to guess if there was someone like herself inside, so she greeted a few familiar ladies and sat down.

While chatting, Qin Jiashu swept his eyes, but he didn't see the four girls who lived in the same courtyard as him.

On the other hand, across the screen, there were two other tables occupied by young masters. Seeing her younger brother talking with a few familiar family friends, she didn't pay much attention.

Miss Liu Jiadi from the Hubu Shangshu family next to her is also her classmate. At this moment, taking advantage of no one's attention, she asked vigilantly in a low voice: "When did you enter the palace to serve the sick? Why did I only see you now?" ?”

Seeing her solemn face, Qin Jiashu didn't dare to tell the truth, so he could only be vague and perfunctory: "Just a few days ago, no one asked me to serve the sick? Who is unwell?"

"It's because many concubines in the harem are feeling unwell." Miss Liu didn't want to enter the palace, so she told her what she knew: "It's said that the concubines like to see us flowery ladies, and Miss Song and the others I have also seen the older princes..."

It is estimated that no one can believe this.

Ms. Liu wanted to say something more, but a court lady came up and stood behind them, it was obvious that she didn't want them to say anything more.

But Qin Jiashu looked at the young ladies here and thought about it carefully, and he suspected that there might be something wrong outside, because the emperor invited the ladies or young masters who were in charge of the military power from the first-rank and second-rank officials in the capital to enter. palace.

I don't know whether it is because he is afraid that some generals will dare to rebel, or to consolidate his own throne, but even if the new emperor accepts these ladies, there will be endless troubles...

No, what Ms. Liu said was that Ms. Song and the others are meeting the prince, so it is possible to use the position of the prince and concubine to win people's hearts.

Thinking about it this way, my younger brother and the others are likely to be the choices of the young princesses.

Qin Jiashu felt sorry for King An in his heart, and if he could have more than twenty more children, he was afraid that all civil and military officials would have to marry the new emperor.

She lowered her eyes, amused in her heart, rare things are precious, this is only for a while.

Naturally, the ladies present couldn't help but talk together.

It is also impossible for the maids to stay in place forever.

After the palace maid left, Miss Wu who was next to Miss Liu also leaned over and said in a low voice, "We are not the only ones who have entered the palace, my grandmother has also entered the palace, and several old wives have also entered the palace."

Qin Jiashu gasped, the son-in-law and the old lady were the main hostages, and these ladies should just make up for it.

No matter what age it is, men value blood more, and the other is filial piety.

Even if you are willing to give up your children, if you even give up your own mother, it is unfilial.

It seems that the new emperor made the right move in detaining the old lady and his sons in the palace, otherwise it would not be so easy to become a great treasure.

This made Qin Jiashu express his regret for the plastic relationship between his grandfather and grandmother and his parents, otherwise the cheap grandmother would appear here.

After the banquet, the Empress Dowager asked the maids to 'serve' them well and go back to rest.

After Qin Jiashu returned to his room, he opened the paper that his mother had given him. It said that he was leaving at the end of Yin Shimo. If there was no one to meet him outside, he would leave through the North City Gate and go north to Hulu Town to gather.

After reading it, she handed it to her younger brother, took a sip of the tea cup and said, "Burn it after reading it."

She calculated in her heart that Yin time is four o'clock, and it is the ninth month of the lunar calendar. Even if the weather is good and sunny, the sun will not rise until it is Mao time, which is six o'clock.

And the gate of the city will only open in the middle of the day.

Two hours is a little tight.

This meant that they had to move quickly, otherwise they would be in danger if they were found out of the palace.

After reading it, Qin Yichen burned the note with a torch, walking back and forth nervously: "Sister, is it too late for Yin Shizhong to leave?"

The imperial palace is the farthest from the north gate, and the queen cannot ride a horse, and has to sneak to the north city.

Now that the new emperor is on the throne, the inspection outside is also very strict, which means that they have to be extra cautious.

The more he thought about it, the more flustered he became, always worried that this little time would not be enough.

"It can't be earlier, or even if we rush to Beicheng, we won't be able to get out if the city gate is closed." Qin Jiashu saw that his younger brother was a little nervous, so he comforted him: "Besides, Yin Shizhong is the time when the imperial guards are most relaxed. It's better for us to leave."

Only then did Qin Yichen realize that he was a little impatient, and he smiled a little embarrassedly: "Sister, I'm just a little too nervous."

"It's normal, and I'm nervous too." He sighed, "I'm afraid of any accident!"

After all, they were escaping from the palace. If they missed this opportunity, no one would believe them even if they were pretending to be crazy.

The main reason is that after making an appointment, the parents will definitely leave, and when the sun rises, the guards outside will definitely notice something is wrong.

"Bah, bah, bah!" Qin Jiashu heard his frustrating words, and wanted to cover his mouth: "What are you talking about? We will definitely be able to leave smoothly."

Only then did Qin Yichen realize what he said, and quickly changed his words: "Yes, yes, we will be able to leave smoothly."

Accidents are everywhere.

Sometimes I am afraid of what will come.

At the beginning of Yin Shi, Qin Jiashu's siblings got up to wash and wash up, and they didn't dare to light the lamps, so they prepared to wait for the time to leave quietly.

Qin Yichen looked at the brightly lit outside, and was a little annoyed: "There are so many lanterns outside, we have to be careful later."

Before they could go out, there was movement outside, the sound of many people walking around, and knocking on the door.

Qin Jiashu's heart sank, but he still told Qingshan: "You pretend to have just woken up, don't reveal your secrets."

After speaking, he reached out and messed up her hair and clothes, lest she reveal her secrets.

He still didn't forget to tell his brother and Qinghu: "Quick, find a place to hide."

She is now hoping that people outside will not knock on the door of her brother's room, otherwise, when they find that there is no one inside, something serious will happen.

That's all we can do now.

Qingshan was so frightened that she trembled all over, she couldn't control her trembling and replied: "Here we come."

Qin Jiashu also quickly lay back on the bed.

The eunuch outside saw that the maid beside Miss Qin turned pale with fright, but didn't suspect anything, but whispered: "Don't come out when there is any movement, remember?"

Qingshan nodded quickly: "I remember."

Holding back his anxiety, he asked, "It's not dawn yet, why is there so much noise outside, what happened?"

"If you shouldn't ask, don't ask." If it weren't for their generosity, the eunuch would not be willing to ask: "Don't forget to tell your son, what else is there to do?"

Qingshan nodded quickly: "Yes, thank you, father-in-law, I'll go right away."

The eunuch left in a hurry, feeling terrified in his heart, no one knew that this woman would be pregnant even though she hadn't been canonized, nor did she know if the child belonged to His Majesty.

I couldn't help being contemptuous in my heart, it wasn't a woman from Daqing, that's why I was so casual, I only regret that now I don't know if I will hurt myself.

Qingshan looked out secretly, but saw that the opposite side was brightly lit, and there was a woman crying for pain...

After Qin Jiashu heard Qingshan's words, he was also very anxious. For the first time, he wondered if his younger brother had the potential to be a crow's mouth. Otherwise, how could he be right?

Now she doesn't know when the outside will stop, and now even she is worried about whether they can leave the palace smoothly.
