Hairpin Phoenix

   Chapter 569 Angry (2)

  The concubines made mistakes and were fined and grounded.

   The dignified queen has also reached such a point, how will she convince the public in the future?

  Princess Hui'an was both startled and anxious, and pleaded for Queen Qiao with red eyes: "Father, please calm down. This matter is Lu's idea, no wonder the mother..."

   "Huian, shut up!" Queen Qiao suddenly turned her head and interrupted Princess Hui'an sharply: "Bengong has done something wrong, just admit the punishment. You don't need to say more!"

  Princess Hui'an had never seen Queen Qiao be so stern, and for a while, she was both aggrieved and sad, and tears welled up in an instant.

After Queen Qiao angrily scolded Princess Hui'an, she turned her head and said respectfully: "Thunder and rain, all are your kindness. The concubine makes a mistake and is willing to be punished. From today, the concubine will report illness and recuperate, and will not stay in the palace. "

  Emperor Yongjia snorted angrily and walked away without even looking at Queen Qiao.

   Princess Hui'an covered her face with her sleeves, and nearly collapsed to the ground crying.

   Queen Qiao's eyes were slightly red, but she didn't cry: "Your father, the emperor, was so angry that he punished me for grounding, but it was not really abolished, why are you crying?"

   Hearing the word "Abandoned Queen", Princess Hui'an almost burst into tears: "Queen Mother...Aren't you afraid?"

   Queen Qiao got up slowly and stretched out her hand to help Princess Hui'an.

   Princess Hui'an stood up and wiped a handful of tears with her sleeves. In the sight blurred by the tears, Queen Qiao's face was also a little blurred, and her voice was particularly clear: "I'm not afraid."

   Princess Hui'an: "..."

   Princess Hui'an blinked hard and looked at Queen Qiao in disbelief.

   Is this still the mother in her memory who always forbears and secretly hurts and swallows bitterly in her stomach?

   Queen Qiao said lightly: "Since four years ago, my relationship with your father and I has been broken. In my heart, he is the emperor, the father of your sister and brother. That's all."

   "I don't care, why are you afraid?"

   "I have been married to the Li family since the 16th, and have been the queen of the middle palace for more than ten years. When others look at the scenery, they are forbearing and seeking perfection, and the grievances and sufferings in my heart are only clear to me."

   "If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't do it for the queen."

Princess Hui'an stared blankly at the calm and indifferent Queen Qiao, and said subconsciously: "However, if the father and emperor really have the intention of abolishing the queen, what should the second brother do? If the queen mother becomes a waste queen, then the second brother..."

Queen Qiao twitched the corners of her mouth, but there was no smile in her eyes: "Before Mr. Lu left, she had expected today's situation. She told me that no matter how angry your father is, I will treat it normally and don't panic. "

   "I am the first wife your father, Huang Mingmei, is marrying. Even if I made a mistake, it will not be easy to abolish it."

   "As long as your second brother and the Lu family return to Beijing safely, my queen will be safe."

  The harem is closely related to the previous dynasty. Although Emperor Yongjia was the emperor, he could not act recklessly.

  Qiao Ge's old disciples are all over the court, and there are many colleagues, friends, in-laws and old friends, and they have a huge influence in the civil service. No matter how strict the words of Emperor Yongjia were, he had to weigh them in his heart.

   There are also King Xingyang and the army of 100,000 Xingyang standing silently behind Lu Mingyu. These are the cornerstones of the East Palace.

  The prince is as stable as a rock, and she, the queen, will not fall.

   Princess Hui'an calmed down and said in a low voice, "That's what I said, but I don't know when the second brother will return to Beijing. The mother will be wronged for a while."

   Queen Qiao said: "I take care of the palace affairs every day, and I have never been able to relax. I just put aside all the chores and have a good rest."

   Queen Qiao's composure and calmness infected Princess Hui'an.

   Princess Hui'an said no more, and helped Queen Qiao into the bedroom to rest.

  …

   "What? Mrs Lu left the palace four days ago?"

  Emperor Yongjia, with a livid face and an angry stomach, came directly to Shouning Palace after leaving Jiaofang Palace. He told Empress Zhao that Lu Mingyu had left the palace privately.

  Empress Dowager Zhao was shocked and asked again and again: "What the **** is going on here?"

Emperor Yongjia gritted his teeth and said angrily, "Ms. Lu announced that he was sick and recuperating, but in fact he quietly left the palace. He led his personal soldiers to Jiangnan. The queen has been covering up for the Lu family. Until today, I heard that the prince's personal soldiers had left the capital. know what's going on."

  Empress Dowager Zhao didn't know whether she was shocked or annoyed, her old face flushed, and she patted the handle of the chair forcefully: "Damn! What a ****!"

   "This is completely disregarding the emperor! If things go on like this, what else would their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law dare not!"

   "The emperor must never spare the Lu family! Nor can he easily spare the queen!"

  Emperor Yongjia said angrily, "It's too late to punish Mrs. Lu. She has been gone for four days, and she will be in Jiangnan in a few days. Not only can I not punish, but I have to find an excuse to cover it up."

   This is the most depressing and irritating place!

  Lu Mingyu saw that this emperor could not lose face, and it was inconvenient to directly attack his daughter-in-law!

Empress Dowager Zhao is worthy of being the mother of Emperor Yongjia. When she heard this, she immediately said: "If you can't punish the Lu family, then punish the queen! Take her phoenix seal and let her 'recuperate' slowly. Or directly order, Abolish Joe's!"

   "She can't be a queen, and there is no one in the harem to be a queen?"

  Emperor Yongjia: "..."

  Emperor Yongjia's full of anger was suddenly half quenched by these words.

  Emperor Yongjia looked at the Empress Dowager Zhao: "The Queen Mother thinks, who in the palace is suitable to be the queen?"

   "Concubine Qin is very suitable." Empress Dowager Zhao said with a straight face: "She is the niece of the Ai family, the emperor's cousin, and gave birth to four princes for the emperor. If the Qiao family is abolished, the Qin family will be established as the queen."

Emperor Yongjia rubbed his forehead, and told the unreasonable Empress Dowager Zhao the reason: "Abolishing the queen is not a trivial matter, it's not a child's play. It doesn't matter if I punish Qiao's foot, if I really want to abolish it, the court officials and generals will stop it. ."

   "Furthermore, if I abolish the queen, the crown prince will no longer be the direct descendant. Do I want to abolish the crown prince again? Then make the fourth prince the heir?"

  The Queen Mother Zhao said, "Why can't the fourth prince be the heir?" When he saw Emperor Yongjia's face, he immediately swallowed it back and said, "Aijia just said it casually, the emperor should not take it to heart."

  Emperor Yongjia was inconvenient to care about his own mother, so he said lightly: "No matter what, I have to take care of the harem. Under my nose, I dare to play tricks like this. I can't spare them!"

  These, of course, are referring to Queen Qiao and Lu Mingyu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

   Empress Dowager Zhao immediately echoed: "That's right. Let Mrs. Qiao recuperate first, and when the princess comes back, he will be severely punished!"

  Emperor Yongjia's anger dissipated a little, and his voice softened a little: "The mother has a good idea of ​​this, so don't tell Concubine Qin."

   Empress Dowager Zhao nodded and opened her mouth to let Emperor Yongjia have lunch together.

  Emperor Yongjia didn't have the appetite to eat, but he didn't refuse Empress Dowager Zhao's retention, and nodded casually.

   At this moment, Eunuch Liu respectfully came to report: "Qi to the Empress Dowager, Qi to the Emperor, the three little highnesses come to greet you together."
