old queen

Chapter 74

"Yes, Liu Baolin." Long Che nodded, coughed twice, and said indifferently, "As a concubine, when did she take on the responsibility of the people beside you, queen mother?"

"This..." The queen mother paused, and then said with little confidence, "The Ai family came up on the spur of the moment, and she happened to be by her side at that time, so the Ai family let her come by the way, what's wrong?"

"Of course it's not right. A concubine is a concubine, and a maid is a maid. They each have their own roles and responsibilities. How can they replace each other?" Long Che shook his head and said softly, "If your mother likes her, you want to keep her by your side to serve her. , Erchen immediately decreed to revoke her title, downgrade her to be a beautiful girl, and send her to your bedroom to let her serve you by your side all the time, what do you think?"

"Nonsense!" Hearing this, the Empress Dowager's complexion darkened, and she shouted sharply.

Long Che said nothing, just looked at her calmly.

But just being watched by him like this, the Queen Mother suddenly felt flustered in her heart. "Okay, Aijia admits that Aijia is somewhat selfish and wants to increase the chances of you meeting." As a last resort, he confessed his ulterior purpose.

Long Che's face darkened, and he shouted in displeasure, "Mother!"

"This child is cute and smart, and Aijia likes it very much. Aijia thought, such a good child is the most suitable to accompany you and be your interpreter. It's just that you are busy with business and have no time to take care of the harem. Aijia will With such an arrangement, I just hope you notice her, fall in love with her, and pamper her, wouldn't that be the best?" As a mother, the Empress Dowager also had her own considerations, so she said with complaints.By the way, part of the responsibility is shifted to the son,

"I've seen it, and I don't like it." Long Che said coldly without even looking at Liu Baolin, whom she strongly recommended.

"Your majesty!" The queen mother wanted to stomp her feet anxiously, "You have not been with your concubine for a long time, why is this? Aijia looked anxious and came up with this method as a last resort. Besides, even if you don't think about it for yourself, then You should also think about the continuation of my Phoenix Dynasty blood!"

"My son already has Rui'er and Jiu'er. Besides, Rui'er has been established as the crown prince. How can you not be satisfied with his conduct and integrity?" Long Che said softly, looking at his son before turning to his mother.

As soon as this remark came out, the empress dowager found that her grandson's gaze was also turned to her side.My heart tightened, and I quickly shook my head: "The Ai family is not dissatisfied. It's just that you, the emperor, have only had one son and one daughter after you have been on the throne for six years. You have five younger brothers and three younger sisters. Even if you are not as good as your father, at least you can't be far behind!"

"The father is the father, and the minister is the minister. The minister believes that children don't want more, as long as they are smart and obedient. It just so happens that Rui'er and Jiu'er are very popular with the minister, and it is enough for the minister to have them. I don't want to have another life, so as not to cause their brothers to fight each other in the future." With a sullen face, Long Che said coldly.

Hearing his words, the Empress Dowager looked anxious and powerless. "Your Majesty, you..."

"Furthermore, Empress Dowager", he didn't want to discuss this topic with her from the bottom of his heart. After changing the topic, Long Che continued, "Take a step back, even if you like this Liu..."

"Baolin." His tone paused, and Mu Mingchun hurriedly made up for him, while she shook her head aside, admiring him.Why can't this person always remember?Isn't it the three characters of Liu Baolin?After listening to it a few times, she remembered it all.Moreover, look at that poor little girl, her eyes, which had stopped crying because of the arrival of the empress dowager, began to fill with water again.Hey, everything should be blamed on this culprit!Or is it a man that people want to rely on for life? How can people dare to rely on him with confidence?
"Yes, Liu Baolin." He quietly glanced at Mu Mingchun, then quickly withdrew his gaze, and Long Che continued, "Mother, you shouldn't have to, and you shouldn't have let her come here! You should know The most taboo thing in the palace is that the concubine, mother and child are too close, so they are raised separately from the prince and princess when they are born. Even the queen and the prince and princess are the same. But now, this person is still the same Rui'er and Jiu'er have nothing to do with each other, why did you let her come to see Ruihe and Jiu'er? Are you not afraid of causing trouble?"

"This child is very clear about Aijia, she knows how to measure." Looking at Liu Baolin beside her, the empress dowager decided.

"However, the lessons of the ancestors are here, so how can I not obey?" Long Che also said with a serious face, "So, today, I must punish her. I have to hit her for twenty boards!"

After going back and forth like this for a long time, in the final analysis, even the [-] boards still have to be played!Then why are they talking so much nonsense?Mu Mingchun really convinced this group of people.If it was her, she would simply drag the woman out and throw her on the ground, and the twenty boards would finish the job.Don't they find it annoying to be procrastinating like this?

"Help the Queen Mother!" Even if the Queen Mother came forward to intercede, Long Che's attitude did not soften much, and he knew in his heart that today was a doomed day. Liu Baolin was so frightened that he knelt down at the Queen Mother's feet with a plop, kowtowed in mourning Call.

The Empress Dowager was a little embarrassed, she could only look at Long Che, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, can't you spare her once for the sake of Ai's family?"

"Empress Mother, I have already looked at your face, so I didn't pursue it too much." Long Che shook his head, insisting on not changing his original intention.

From his words, the queen mother understood that her son was indirectly telling herself that he didn't pursue too much about the fact that she would forget the palace rules and asked Liu Baolin to perform the duties of a palace maid and eunuch. The queen mother was also a little ashamed and softened unconsciously point.However, my own people suffered a tragic defeat on their first expedition and were beaten!Where does this tell her empress dowager's face?Absolutely unable to accept this fact, the queen mother said: "But, hasn't the queen already slapped her twice? Moreover, as a queen, beating a concubine for no reason is also a crime and should be punished!"

Uh...why did their mother and son talk, discussing about punishing Liu Baolin, going round and round, and finally turned to her?Mu Mingchun was speechless.Well, she admitted that it was because of her unlucky life that she beat someone and was caught again, so she should be fined if she wanted to, anyway, she wasn't afraid.I just don't know, how will I be punished this time?Additional punishment?Impossible!

"Imperial Grandmother!" When the Empress Dowager said such words, Long Rui's small face was immediately filled with disapproval, and he shouted in a low voice, there seemed to be a bit of anger in his bright eyes.

When the queen mother saw it, her heart tightened, and she quickly turned her head, not daring to look directly into her grandson's eyes.

Long Che's complexion also changed slightly, and then he slowly said: "Mother, what kind of person is the queen, you should know her better than..." After saying this, his confused eyes turned to the woman kneeling at her feet .

"Liu Baolin!" He has been reminded so many times, why can't he remember?The queen mother couldn't stand it anymore, and told him the name impatiently.

Yes, yes, Liu Baolin.Clenched his right hand into a fist, put it to his mouth and coughed twice, Long Che raised his head again, and said in a low voice: "You should know the empress better than Liu Baolin. Although she is arrogant, she often doesn't take others seriously, and is quick to She is cruel to people, but when I think about it, she has never hit innocent people. It is always when others offend her first that she will retaliate."

Is he justifying her or adding insult to injury?One mouthful of arrogance, one mouthful of cruelty, can't he use a nicer word?Mu Mingchun was upset, curled his lips, and gave him a slight look.

As if feeling her displeasure, Long Che turned his head, glanced at her, then turned to the Queen Mother, and said, "She is also like this today. If Liu Baolin hadn't come to the school to make trouble, she would have chased her away again and again. If she is willing to leave, she will not do anything to her. Queen Mother, do you think so?"

He was really absolving her.This guy has a sex change?Or did you take the wrong medicine?Rubbing his chin with one hand, Mu Mingchun began to think about this serious question.

"This..." Hearing what he said, and thinking about it carefully, it really makes sense.The Queen Mother was speechless.

"Besides, this is the queen's punishment for disobedient concubines as the lord of the harem. Isn't this a crime?" Long Che continued, "The only thing she did wrong was that she shouldn't do it herself, she should have done it herself. Instruct the people around you to carry out the execution." After finishing speaking, he turned to Mu Mingchun, and said in a deep voice, "Queen, remember in the future, if you find out that any concubine behaves improperly, you can just punish it, but you must not do it privately. Otherwise, are the people around you standing and eating?"

"Why?" Mu Mingchun yelled, annoyed.She likes to do it herself!That kind of hands-on, the pleasure after venting is something you can't experience when you watch someone else beat someone!

"Mother's queen!" Didn't you see that the emperor was trying to get you off the hook?Impatient for her non-cooperation, Long Rui quickly turned around and gave her a big stare.

Ok!The son was upset, Mu Mingchun bowed his head, and temporarily admitted his mistake: "The concubine knows." I know, not that I will change it in the future.She can still play this word game.

"Yeah." That's more or less the same, Long Che nodded and continued, "However, since Liu Baolin was indeed sent by the queen mother, if you do something to her without asking the truth, it's a minor offense and you have to be punished. So, from tomorrow In the beginning, for ten consecutive days, you will continue to think about your mistakes in the cold palace, and you are not allowed to go out for half a step, you understand?"

"Oh." In other words, her right to travel for ten days was deducted.After talking about it, it seems that the punishment he imposed on her came and went, and there were only a few of them!Mu Mingchun felt really boring.

This person's confession attitude today is not bad, he is still satisfied.After dealing with her, Long Che went back to the Empress Dowager, and asked softly: "Empress Mother, do you think the punishment of this son is appropriate?"
