The Six Palaces of Favorites: The Black-bellied Emperor's Cold Concubine

Chapter 997 Birthday (53)
The empress dowager took a deep look at the emperor, and reprimanded displeasedly: "Nonsense! This is the emperor's dragon chair, how can you let others touch it casually? The ancestors knew that you are filial, but no matter how filial you are, you can't take this chair of yours. Give up the dragon chair! At any time, the emperor is the emperor, the power of the emperor is greater than the sky, and the rules cannot be broken, do you understand?"

Xiao Jun smiled awkwardly: "Grandson thanked the old ancestor for his teaching. The grandson must remember the words of the old ancestor."

At this time, the queen also rushed over to help her and said, "Grandmother, how about you sit with your granddaughter-in-law?"

The empress dowager held the queen's hand, looked at the queen gently and kindly, and said with great satisfaction, "The queen is still sensible, and I can't sit on the dragon chair, but I have been sitting on this phoenix chair for decades. Okay, the empress Grandmother will be sitting with you temporarily. It’s just that I haven’t seen you for a few days, and the queen seems to have reduced a lot? Isn’t Concubine Ning helping you take care of the chores in the harem? The queen should also charge more Thoughts, take good care of your body, so that I, a grandmother, can see a prince born in the middle palace earlier. You have lived a peaceful life, and even if I close my eyes someday, I can go to the palace happily. Seeing Emperor Taizu, you won't feel uneasy and worried about leaving."

Qingchen knelt on the ground, and after hearing these words, he already knew what he said. It seems that the Empress Dowager still believed what Yun Lan said in Yongshou Palace.I don't know how much the queen can hear the deep meaning in the old ancestor's words?She hoped that the harem would be peaceful and that the queen would be able to play less tricks, but naturally she couldn't speak too bluntly in front of so many people, so although she spoke in a friendly tone, there was a bit of majesty, even if there was any dissatisfaction , You still have to save enough face for the queen in front of people, right?

The queen glanced resentfully at the cold-looking emperor standing beside the empress dowager, sighed softly in his heart, and forced a smile and said: "The emperor's grandmother loves the concubine, it is the concubine's blessing, but it's a pity that the concubine's fortune is poor, God Always refuse to give a concubine a child."

The Empress Dowager glanced back at the emperor who was serving respectfully, snorted lightly and reprimanded: "It's all the emperor's fault. If the harem can be evenly exposed to rain and dew, the children will be prosperous and the concubines will be harmonious. There is no need for me to do this." Grandma worried about you?"

The emperor replied awkwardly, "Yes, don't be angry, grandma, it's all grandson's fault, and grandson will definitely do what the grandma said in the future, and never dare to make the royal mother angry again."

"Hmph, don't coax me, every time you promise to be cheerful, don't you just ignore my words when you turn around? As long as you can listen to a sentence or a sentence of the emperor's grandmother, you won't make yourself like this dilemma."

Seeing that the ancestor was angry, the emperor also understood the painstaking efforts of the ancestor. If the imperial concubine hadn't been favored too much, he wouldn't have provoked so many right and wrong.Not knowing what to say, the emperor turned his head and saw that Fuquan was bringing tea, and hurriedly took it with his own hands and handed it over with an apologetic smile, "Old Ancestor, drink a cup of tea to warm yourself up. Why did you come to Xinhua Hall in this snowy day?"

The Empress Dowager took the tea and raised her head inadvertently, only to see that everyone in the hall was still kneeling on the ground in silence, and immediately ordered: "Get up, I'm so confused, I only care about talking to the emperor. , I forgot about you, why didn't the emperor remind me?"

This is not a big deal, the emperor said with a smile: "They don't see their ancestors easily, so let's kneel down a little longer today and give a big gift to the ancestors, it's a show of filial piety."

"It's so cold to kneel on the ground in the cold weather, filial piety is not enough." The ancestor took a sip of tea and handed the cup to the emperor beside him. The emperor took it clumsily and put it on the table, listening to the emperor The queen mother said: "The old ancestor was chanting scriptures in the Buddhist hall just now, and the Buddhist beads in his hand suddenly fell apart. This is a very ominous sign. At this age, the imperial grandmother, besides you and Xiao Jue, what else can't be let go? Ansheng, I just came here to take a look, but what is Xiao Jue busy with recently, I haven't seen him for several days."

The embarrassment on the emperor's face became more and more unspeakable. He glanced at the ground and heard Xiao Jue say very aggrieved: "Grandmother, grandson is here."

Only then did the Empress Dowager notice that there were still two people kneeling on the ground, she took a closer look and said, "You two also get up, what are you still kneeling for?"

Xiao Jue said with a mournful face, "Grandmother, grandson made a mistake, Mr. Fu Guang from the Ministry of Punishment is investigating me."

Fu Guang was slightly taken aback, and his heart skipped a beat. We all know that the late Emperor and the King of Liang are the sons of the Empress Dowager, and the Emperor and Xiao Jue are her grandsons. These two grew up with the old ancestor, and they are the lifeblood of the old ancestor. Fu Guang suddenly understood why the emperor had to let Xiao Jue bear this charge.

The Empress Dowager sighed heavily, "Sure enough, my worries are not superfluous. Take a look, why is it so difficult for the imperial grandmother to have a happy birthday in two days?"

Looking at Qing Chen, the Empress Dowager's eyes suddenly deepened, and she asked after a moment of pondering: "Is the one kneeling down there the imperial concubine? Why are you kneeling there with him?"

Qingchen hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Old ancestor, my concubine...the concubine was accused of being a suspect..."

The empress dowager asked the emperor as if she didn't know anything: "What is she talking about? What trouble did Xiao Jue cause you again? He is a noble son, no matter what he did wrong, as long as the country is not in turmoil Why is there no need to hand over Ben to the courtiers for interrogation?"

The emperor's face darkened, and he was about to speak, but the empress dowager stopped him, and turned to tell the empress, "Come on."

The Queen's brows jumped slightly, she thought for a moment, and told the Empress Dowager the whole story in detail, the Empress Dowager nodded and said, "Then what do you mean?"

The queen didn't dare to show her previous aggressiveness at this moment, but said in a seemingly fair way: "The concubine has not yet figured out the truth, Mr. Fu has just come here, the emperor is still in the future and asked about the results of the investigation, why don't the old ancestors listen together?" listen?"

The old ancestor nodded slightly, looked at Fu Guang who was standing bowed below, and suddenly asked: "Is that standing below is Little Photon? The old ancestor hasn't seen you for many years, your appearance has really changed compared to when you were a child."

Fu Guang's head was full of black lines at the moment, he was about to hug his grandson, and in this world, except for the empress dowager, no one would call him that.

Lowering his waist, Fu Guang respectfully said: "The old ancestor has a good memory, but he still remembers me, and I am terrified."

The look on the Empress Dowager's face gradually became serious, and she said in a stern tone: "The ancestors don't remember you, they remember your achievements. The royal family will never forget meritorious officials, and the emperor will not treat you badly. The minister who relieved his worries, do you understand what the ancestors said?"

Fu Guang hurriedly replied: "Yes, I understand."
