Hairpin Phoenix

   Chapter 103 Storm (2)

  Emperor Yongjia was angry and walked away.

   A short confrontation exhausted Queen Qiao's courage and strength.

   Emperor Yongjia left in a rage, and Queen Qiao sat down slowly, her eyes full of astringency and exhaustion.

  Cailan was frightened and served a cup of tea, and whispered uncomfortably, "Niangniang, the emperor was so angry just now..."

"Yeah, I can't bear to get angry at the Queen Mother, but don't you want to take this queen, Ben Gong, to vent your anger?" Queen Qiao's eyes became more astringent: "Bengong endured year after year, until her daughter got married, and she endured it. My son is getting married. I can't stand it anymore."

   Cailan's eyes turned red instantly.

   She has been serving the empress for ten years. No one knows better than her how much grievances and slack she has suffered.

   Niangniang is the original wife of the emperor and the queen of the middle palace. But in this harem, it was neither as favored as Concubine Meng Gui, nor as leisurely as Concubine Qin. No matter how hard you work, you won't lose a little bit.

   It was clear that the Empress Dowager did not care about the offer of employment. But the emperor kept blaming the queen's concubine!

   Queen Qiao looked at Cailan with red eyes, her nose was slightly sour, and she said, "Don't spread the word about today's matter. Even if the second prince asks, don't talk nonsense."

   Cailan whispered yes.

   Before he finished speaking, Li Jing came.

  Li Jingjun's face was slightly sullen, and before Queen Qiao opened her mouth to cover it, she said in a deep voice: "Did the father and the emperor come to accuse the mother?"

Without waiting for Queen Qiao to deny it, she added: "What the grandmother did today, she supported the fourth brother and brought her face down on me and the queen mother, which also made the Lu family unhappy. With the temper of King Xingyang, when entering the palace to express gratitude, it is necessary to say a few words. The father is reluctant to blame the emperor's grandmother, and he has to anger the mother."

  Queen Joe: "..."

  Queen Qiao was embarrassed and sad, and almost burst into tears on the spot.

  Li Jing took a step forward, held Queen Qiao's hand, and said with three-point strength: "The mother is wronged, and the son knows it in his heart. One day, the son will seek all justice for the mother."

   The grievances in Queen Qiao's heart were mostly scattered when her son said so.

   She whispered: "Ajing, for so many years, I have not been favored by your father and grandmother, and I have long been used to the grievances. But they can't treat you like this."

   "You are the only son of your father, and no one can underestimate you. I don't care who your grandmother wants to lift. But she can't smear your face like this, making the Lu family ugly."

   "No matter how angry your father is, I can't back down."

  Women are weak, and mothers are strong.

  Empress Qiao, who has always been gentle and virtuous and almost weak, finally straightened up this time and competed head-on with Emperor Yongjia.

   Li Jing's heart was hot, and he said in a low voice and firmness: "It's better that the mother can think like this." After a pause, she said softly: "In the future, the mother will no longer have to rely on the father, and the son will be filial to the mother."

  The most intractable disease in the world is eccentricity.

   Empress Dowager Zhao favored Concubine Qin and her son, and Emperor Yongjia favored Concubine Meng and the eldest prince. Although Queen Qiao is the queen of the palace, her situation is not very good.

   Queen Qiao's nose was sour, and she nodded with a sob: "Okay."

  …

  Emperor Yongjia was choked with anger by Queen Qiao, so he went to Shouning Palace without thinking.

   As soon as he stepped into the palace, he heard a burst of laughter.

  This laughter, heard in the ears of Emperor Yongjia who was burning in anger, undoubtedly added fuel to the fire.

   The maid at the door was about to go forward to salute, but was so frightened by the anger on Emperor Yongjia's face that he didn't dare to move. Emperor Yongjia didn't even look at the silent palace servant, and stepped into the house.

   Empress Dowager Zhao sat on the phoenix chair and talked to Concubine Qin cheerfully. The fourth prince was sitting on the other side of the Queen Mother Zhao, and Junxiu's face was full of smiles.

  Three generations of grandparents and grandchildren sat together, talking and laughing, the atmosphere was so harmonious and pleasant.

  The fourth prince had sharp eyes and was the first to catch a glimpse of Emperor Yongjia, and hurriedly got up with a smile: "Father..."

   As soon as the words came out, he realized that something was wrong.

  Emperor Yongjia's face was as heavy as the bottom of a pot, and there was unmistakable anger in his eyes: "Li Xian, you are in a good mood today!"

  The father's full name only means one thing.

   If you don’t deal with it well, you will have to go to house to house.

  The fourth prince reflexively bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "Please, Father, please calm down."

   Concubine Qin couldn't laugh anymore, and stood up cautiously: "Your Majesty..."

  Emperor Yongjia sneered, and the flame sprayed towards Concubine Qin again: "I see that you are in a good mood, why is this!"

  Concubine Qin was swept away by Emperor Yongjia's angry eyes, her heart suddenly became cold, and she hurriedly bowed her head to plead guilty: "I don't know what the concubine did, which made the emperor so angry. I beg the emperor to show me that the concubine will definitely change."

  Emperor Yongjia said coldly: "You come to Shouning Palace every day to serve your mother and make her happy. It's too late to reward you, so don't panic."

   This is accusing Concubine Qin of deceiving Empress Dowager Zhao with her rhetoric.

  Emperor Yongjia was so angry that he couldn't be directed at his own mother, but could he go at Concubine Qin and his mother?

   Concubine Qin couldn't stand still, so she knelt down directly. The fourth prince also knelt down together.

Empress Dowager Zhao, who was originally cheerful, was also annoyed when she saw this battle, and slapped the table hard: "The matter was done by the Ai family, and the dowry gift was the idea of ​​the Ai family from beginning to end. Concubine Qin and The Fourth Prince didn't even know about it before."

   "If the emperor wants to lose his temper, he will come to Aijia."

   If you meet an old lady who is messing around, you are the emperor, and you will have a headache.

  Emperor Yongjia frowned and looked at the Queen Mother Zhao: "Why did the Queen Mother suddenly come up with this bad idea?"

Empress Dowager Zhao was also annoyed and stood up: "What a bad idea! This is also what my son and his mother said! I asked Qiao's betrothal gift before, and Qiao's family said that she was a descendant. I know, she is the Qiao family. Di daughter, I don't really look down on my mother-in-law who came from a concubine."

   "What's wrong with being a grandmother, using your private house to give some dowry gifts for your grandson? You'd better tell me!"

  Emperor Yongjia's brows were even tighter: "The queen mother is going to add a betrothal gift, so she should tell the queen. If you split it up like this, wouldn't it be obvious to everyone that the two palaces are not in harmony?"

   Empress Dowager Zhao snorted: "If you don't get along, you won't get along. Who would dare to go into the palace and make irresponsible remarks!"

  Emperor Yongjia's head hurt even more: "Then why didn't the mother add three more copies, so that the emperors and grandchildren would all read the mother's goodness?"

Empress Dowager Zhao raised her head even higher: "I'm a grandmother, not a grandson. I can give it to anyone I want, and I don't care that they all think of me! I'm not good, and they dare to disobey and be unfilial. Nope."

  Emperor Yongjia: "..."

   It is completely unreasonable to reason with the arrogant and domineering Empress Dowager Zhao!

  In anger, Emperor Yongjia glanced at Concubine Qin's mother and son: "This bad idea must be conceived by Concubine Qin instigating the queen mother. If you dare to provoke the queen mother and queen to discord, I can't spare you."

   "Go back to your bedroom immediately, you are not allowed to leave the bedroom without my permission."

   Qin Fei almost fainted from crying.

  The fourth prince wanted to intercede for his mother, and Emperor Yongjia said angrily: "Li Xian, you also get out of Shouning Palace for me, and go back to the palace to reflect."
