   Chapter 461 Husband and wife (1)

  Emperor Yongjia has been back in Beijing for more than a month.

  It was the first time that the Empress was alone.

   Queen Qiao smiled as if nothing had happened, stepped forward and saluted: "My concubine has seen the emperor."

  Emperor Yongjia stretched out his hand and gave a false help: "The queen quickly get up. You and I don't have to pay attention to these ceremonies."

   Queen Qiao got up, and the two looked at each other, feeling a little strange and uncomfortable.

   is like a piece of jade, once broken, no skillful craftsman can restore the jade to its original state. After some repairs, it can barely be seen, and the cracks are all over the place.

"These days, I was busy with government affairs and neglected the queen. Not only did the queen have no complaints, but she also took out the gold and silver in the private treasury." Emperor Yongjia sighed: "The queen's affection, I have all written down. already."

Empress Qiao cheered up and said with a smile: "The concubine is the Empress of Great Wei, and now there is a shortage of silver in the court, and there is no silver available in the House of Internal Affairs. It is also appropriate for the concubine to use the private treasury. If the emperor is unhappy, ask the House of Internal Affairs to write to the concubine. An IOU. After two years of delay, the emperor will return it to his concubine, the same is true."

   "If the emperor still feels bad about it and adds two points of interest to the money, the courtiers and concubines will not refuse."

  Emperor Yongjia laughed: "Okay, okay, I will ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to write a note for you. And the Crown Princess Lu, you must also write an IOU."

  I owe Queen Qiao, but it's still easy to say. You can never owe your daughter-in-law.

   Queen Qiao said with a smile: "Chen, concubine, let someone call Lu's over, and the emperor will tell her in person."

Emperor Yongjia couldn't refuse, so he was more generous: "I asked Eunuch Liu to preach the decree. Tonight, I will have dinner in the Jiaofang Palace, and let the four members of the prince's family come over. It will be more lively to eat together with more people. "

   Husband and wife staring at each other with big eyes is not interesting.

   Queen Qiao readily responded: "What the emperor said is that the concubine will send an order to let the royal kitchen prepare meals."

   The palace and chamberlain who sent the order quickly withdrew.

   The two of you just look at me and I look at you, and it's not like that. Emperor Yongjia had nothing to say and asked about Queen Qiao's health.

Queen Qiao replied with a smile: "My concubine can eat and sleep, and my health is very good. It is the emperor who has fought abroad for more than two years. After returning to Beijing, he is busy with government affairs and has to take care of the harem. How can you bear such hard work day and night? The emperor. You have to watch out for some dragons."

  Emperor Yongjia: "..."

  How did the virtuous, generous and tolerant queen of the past suddenly become sharp and sharp?

  Emperor Yongjia slept in Yanxi Palace for more than a month, and threw Queen Qiao's face to the ground. Queen Qiao is not made of paper, so how can she not have the slightest temper. At this time, if he was neither soft nor hard, Emperor Yongjia's teeth hurt.

  Emperor Yongjia coughed and said with a smile, "I feel very relieved that the Queen cares about me so much."

  Queen Qiao stopped at the point, did not hold on to this topic, and turned to the little princess who was over a year old.

  Emperor Yongjia stretched his brows and said with a smile, "Xiao Ping'an was born like Wang Jieyu, with clear eyebrows and no arrogance at all. I also love her very much."

   Queen Qiao smiled and said, "When the emperor has free time, he will go to see the little princess more."

   Just in time to see Wang Jieyu.

  Emperor Yongjia replied casually with a smile.

  …

After    a stick of incense, Li Jing, Lu Mingyu and his wife came with a pair of children.

   No matter how much estrangement there is in his heart, his face is full of peace. What's more, with elder brother and elder sister Xuan around, the adults would not be silent if they didn't speak.

   "Grandson greets the grandfather and grandmother." Brother Jue knelt down neatly and kowtowed three times.

   Sister Xuan also knelt down and kowtowed, and her voice was louder than Brother Jue: "Xuan'er greets the grandfather and grandmother of the emperor."

  Emperor Yongjia smiled cheerfully: "Get up quickly and come to the emperor's grandfather's side."

   Brother Jue and Sister Xuan dress exactly the same in the past. It's a little bigger now, and the dress is noticeably different. It can be distinguished from the clothes at a glance.

   Brother Jue has a handsome face, bright eyes, and a straight small body.

  Xuan was a little fatter, wearing a red dress, her hair was combed into two small tugs, tied with red ribbons, each with a few small silver bells. It tinkles as soon as you walk, which is very cute.

  Emperor Yongjia was dissatisfied with his son and daughter-in-law, but when he saw his grandchildren, he was full of love, and he happily touched the heads of the two brothers and sisters.

   Brother Jue didn't move, but Sister Xuan was not happy, she ducked her head and ducked: "Grandfather, don't mess with my hair."

   Childish language, very funny.

  Emperor Yongjia laughed: "It's my fault, I shouldn't touch your hair."

   Brother Jue was afraid that Emperor Yongjia would be unhappy, so he put his head close: "Imperial grandfather, sister Aimei, don't let anyone touch her hair. If you want to touch, touch me."

  Emperor Yongjia smiled again and patted Brother Jue's head: "Brother Jue knows to love his younger sister and is a good brother." He smiled and praised Lu Mingyu: "You taught a pair of children very well."

  Lu Mingyu replied with a smile: "The father-in-law praises others, and the daughter-in-law must be polite. Complimenting their brothers and sisters, the daughter-in-law is disrespectful."

   is still that calm and self-possessed look.

  Emperor Yongjia sighed inwardly.

   Among several daughters-in-law, Lu Mingyu is the one he admires the most. He has good skills, strong courage, speaks and acts neatly, and is more decisive than men.

   Facts have proved that Lu Mingyu is indeed an excellent crown princess. In the past two years or so, she has taken care of her children, taken care of Queen Qiao, stabilized the court, and stabilized the hearts of the people. Not to mention, he also beheaded Yan Tuo and made a great contribution.

  The helpless thing is that people with great skills have too much temper. Lu Mingyu's act of poisoning Concubine Su made him hard to let go.

   However, King Xingyang was the first to go to the memorial and pushed the reward, which saved the face of the court and his son of the emperor. He couldn't help but accept this favor. Lu Mingyu took the initiative to donate the East Palace's warehouse and his own private house, one by one, so that he could not stand upright to speak...

Emperor Yongjia calmed down and looked at the prince again: "I gave you the errand of repairing the emperor's mausoleum, why don't you even go to court? Don't take the opportunity to be lazy. I will come to Wenhua Hall tomorrow to listen to political affairs. "

   These words are so grand.

  Emperor Yongjia ordered him to build the imperial mausoleum on that day, which was obviously meant to expel him from the court. If he wants to face, he has to take the initiative to step back.

   For more than a month, he, the prince, has never been to the court, nor has he entered the Wenhua Palace again. All the ministers saw it in their eyes and were indignant at the prince's fate. The officials of the Eastern Palace were even more indignant.

   If it wasn't for the father-in-law taking the initiative to file a memorial, or for Queen Qiao, Lu Mingyu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, both of whom contributed money, Emperor Yongjia's indifference to him would not have been known for how long.

   Li Jing groaned in his heart, and said in his mouth, "My son is dedicated to being a messenger, so how dare I be lazy. Since the father has said something, my son will go to Wenhua Hall tomorrow."
