Chapter 96: Children's Affairs

During the lunch break, Jing Yuan used a magic weapon to hide the truth and sneaked into Jingming Palace.

Avoiding the passing palace servants and patrolling sentries, he groped all the way to the little princess' bedroom.

The little princess is indeed taking a nap, but the queen is also there, lying beside the little princess.Even though the little guy was already asleep, she still pampered her in her arms.

"It's not easy to do it!" Jing Yuan was a little embarrassed.

He can't just grab it directly, can he?
Then when the Queen shouted, the commotion caused was too great.

How about some hypnotism?

But the empress is the emperor after all, the son of destiny, do you know if hypnotism will work for her?

While thinking about it, the queen's confidant female official Shuangxia came in lightly.Said softly through the curtain: "Your Majesty, Lord Shen Yu is here."

Shen Yu is a scholar of Wenxin Pavilion and a daughter of the imperial concubine. She is also one of the three assistant ministers appointed by the empress.

For this veteran minister of the three dynasties to come to Jingming Palace to face the saint before leaving Beijing, the empress reckoned that it was probably another demon moth from the empress dowager's side.

And it's an extraordinary moth!

The queen sighed softly, got up and got out of bed, and when she went out, she ordered the little princess's nanny to go in and accompany her.

"Your Majesty." Shen Yu was over sixty years old, her temples were stained with frost, but her spirit was still hale and hearty.As soon as she saw the empress coming, she knelt down and begged: "The old minister implores your majesty to return to the palace and take charge of the overall situation. If the empress dowager continues to mess around, I will be in danger!"

The empress hurriedly stepped forward to support Shen Yu, and asked, "Mr. Shen, please get up. What happened?"

After Shen Yu took her seat, she sighed a long time and said, "The princess is in charge of the country, and the emperor's son-in-law and the master of the country are assisting the government. It was fine at first. But since the prince of Qi entered the palace half a year ago,... "

"Prince Qi?" the queen asked. "Come to me? Enter the palace? What are you going to do? Get married?"

Shen Yu said in surprise: "It turns out that His Majesty doesn't know about this. It's a long story."

"In the past two years, the territory of Qi State has been infested with demons and ghosts. In order to drive out the demons, the court of Qi State has been fighting for many years, the people are in dire straits, and the national power has also declined greatly. But as a neighboring country, we have never had such a thing happen. They then Guess it was Princess Wuyue who protected my Great Zhou from the nine heavens, so that the people of Great Zhou were protected from chaos."

"So, half a year ago, King Qi sent his youngest son, Lu Jia, King of Changle, to serve Princess Wuyue at my court. When he entered the court, he said that he would serve at the Princess Temple for three months, and then welcome a statue of my imperial court. The concubine of the government seems to be returning to the country. After she came, she found some reasons and went to the princess."

"Then Lu Jia, who was nineteen years old, was really handsome and handsome. Once he came and went, he caught the eyes of the princess. Then he didn't go to the Princess Temple, and stayed with the princess every day. It was said that he would come for three months. It has been half a year, and there is no intention of returning."

The queen frowned and said: "The king of Qi sent such a son to pay homage, I'm afraid he has bad intentions from the very beginning!"

"Yes." Shen Yu helplessly shook her head and sighed. "We have been persuading the princess, that is the prince of Qi, he is not an ordinary person, so be careful. But the princess doesn't listen, it's like being intoxicated by the king of Changle. Pei Shao is also a jealous master. , there is a lot of trouble every day, and recently..."

The empress knew that the main event was coming, so she hurriedly asked, "But what serious matter happened?"

Shen Yu said: "The princess is happy... This was originally a happy event, but the princess wants to register the king of Changle as Shaojun, and also put the child in his name! According to the system of the Great Zhou, the first child, regardless of gender, is It must be recorded under the name of the righteous husband. Even the common people's family is the same, let alone the royal family? And, Lu Jia, he is the prince of Qi State!"

The empress knew his concerns, and it seemed that it was just a matter of registering the name, but what was hidden was the crisis of changing the son-in-law.

The present young concubine is the future emperor concubine.

According to the customary system of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the emperor's son-in-law can participate in politics.

Qi Guo sent the prince to the Great Zhou Dynasty, obviously with bad intentions.If the King of Changle was really allowed to be the emperor consort of the Great Zhou, and the next crown prince would be recorded under his name, then it would indeed be equivalent to half of the Great Zhou's country, falling under the control of the Qi State.

"What do the emperor's son-in-law and the national teacher say?" the queen asked.

"The emperor's son-in-law resolutely disagreed, and demanded that King Changle be sent back to the country immediately. The national teacher felt that it didn't matter if the number of counties was small. As for the matter of registering the name, it would not be too late to decide after the child was born. Under the name of the young son-in-law. If it is a boy, it doesn't matter much if it is recorded under the name of Shaojun. He also said that it is the same as His Majesty, the eldest son is recorded under the name of Emperor County. "

"How can this be the same?" the queen said angrily.

She was not originally a princess. At that time, Dijun was her real husband and only wife. The birth of the eldest son Zhou Yunlan was recorded under his name, which was completely in accordance with the rules of etiquette.

Later, something happened and she was pushed to the throne. In order to stabilize the government and take power quickly, she appointed Pei Ji as the emperor's son-in-law.

Regarding this, Dijun has never complained, but she has always been ashamed in her heart, so she loves Wu and Wu, and has a little preference for Zhou Yunlan.

How can Zhou Yunjin's situation be said to be the same as hers back then?
totally different!
The queen said angrily: "This national teacher asked her to assist the princess, but she let the princess mess around! How is this just a problem of Li Shaojun?!"

Shen Yu hurriedly got up, and said with trepidation, "Your Majesty, calm down."

The queen said: "I have already understood this matter. Mr. Shen, go back first, and I will leave for Beijing tomorrow."

"Yes."

After ordering someone to send Shen Yu away, the empress asked Shuangxia to go down and pack up her things immediately, and set off for Beijing early tomorrow morning.

After arranging everything, she returned to the little princess' bedroom, and as soon as she entered the door, she found the maid lying on the floor.

The empress suddenly felt something was wrong, and rushed into the bedroom, only to see the nanny lying on the ground in front of the bed, unconscious.And the little princess who was sleeping peacefully on the bed was gone!

Her daughter, gone!

The queen's face turned pale immediately, feeling like the whole sky had collapsed.While yelling "Come here!", he threw himself on the bed and turned every corner of the bed.

No!No!Nowhere!
"Your Majesty!" The guards who were guarding outside rushed in one after another.

"The princess is gone!" The queen rushed out with a pale face, scolding sharply. "How do you guard the value? Why did the princess disappear! Go find it! Go! Even if I turn over the entire Jingming Palace, I still have to find the princess!"

"Yes!"

Hearing that the little princess disappeared right under their noses, the guards were also frightened, so they rushed out to find her.

"Your Majesty!" Shuangxia heard the movement, rushed over, supported the trembling Queen, and comforted her. "Your Majesty, don't worry, the little princess will be fine with good luck!"

While consoling the queen, she signaled the maids to go and check what happened to those fainted people, whether they were dead or alive.

"Your Majesty." A court lady came over to report after checking. "Nurse Lan and the others seem to have been enchanted, and they can't wake up no matter how much they shout."

"Casting a spell?" The queen was shocked, and suddenly, she was enlightened and reacted. "The Taoist nun in front! That's right! It's definitely her! I don't agree with her taking Baoning away, so she just came and stole it!"

The guards of Jingming Palace are so strict, if it is not a master of cultivation, how can it sneak in so silently and steal her Baoning? !

"What a Yantian sect! You're bullying too much!" The queen gritted her teeth angrily. "How dare you rob me of my daughter in broad daylight! You and I are irreconcilable!"
