Queen is the top

Fortunately, Shi Yuqing came in at this time, and everyone was worried about the embarrassing atmosphere and made people feel uncomfortable. Seeing him, he quickly got up and greeted him warmly. Even Shi Daoran was relieved, seeing him was as excited as seeing a savior.

Shi Yuqing was stunned, and thought: I have seen these uncles on weekdays, they are all prudent and considerate people, how come they are so happy to see me today.

He didn't know everything that happened just now, he just thought that his uncles were being polite, so he politely returned one by one.

Looking at his fair and beautiful cheeks, He Jingyi unconsciously twitched the corners of his mouth.

Shi Yuqing politely chatted with her uncles one by one, and said a few words with Shi Daoran, feeling that her father was much more affectionate towards her, seeing that it was getting late, she was sent out of Shaoxing together with He Jingyi Guojun Gongfu Gate.

Sitting in the sedan chair, He Jingyi held Shi Yuqing's hand in his own as usual.

"Is your house always so lively?"

Shi Yuqing only thought that his uncles were all there, and there were so many people, so he shook his head and said: "I heard from the old lady, because we came back today, my father invited my uncles and the others to entertain me. Usually, there are not so many people. .”

He Jingyi nodded and didn't ask any more questions. Seeing the old lady, Shi Yuqing's parents and sister were in a good mood, and a smile appeared on her face unconsciously.

"If you miss home, come back more often."

Upon hearing He Jingyi's words, Shi Yuqing said pleasantly, "Your Highness is saying that I can often go home to visit the old matriarch, my parents, and the others?"

He Jingyi nodded, Shi Yuqing was overjoyed, he couldn't hide the happy smile on his face, he looked pretty when he smiled, especially his almond eyes were shining like jewels, He Jingyi held his face with one hand, and gently touched his face A kiss on the cheek, he leaned too close, and his breath burned Shi Yuqing's face, causing him to look away hurriedly.

He Jingyi smiled slightly, and the hand that touched his cheek stroked his hair upwards, ignoring his slight resistance, and leaned his head on his shoulder.

In the backyard of the inner house of the Duke of Shaoguo, Mrs. Meng sat and talked with Mrs. Qiaohuang of the Duke of Shaoguo and Shi Qiaohuang, and learned that Shi Yuqing had returned to the palace. Although they had just met, the three of them already had some concerns in their hearts. .

The housekeeper Li Si told the old lady Meng what happened in the front hall one by one, and she snorted coldly and said: "What a fool! You are as good as their worthless mother, how will the master deal with the second lady? "

The housekeeper Li Si reported: "Confinement for two months, copying "Nvvirtue" a hundred times."

Mrs. Meng raised her eyelids: "Two months is too light. According to my words, the second son and the second lady will be confined for four months, but they will not be allowed to leave the hospital for half a year. Also, their aunts are not strict in discipline, and they are not allowed to leave the hospital." Together with the fine, Xiao Li will not be allowed to leave the hospital for a few months, and the master will not be allowed to visit her."

Li Si bowed and nodded, the old lady Meng was still angry, and the wife of Shaoguo county persuaded her, and the old lady Meng said: "A foxy girl like his mother wants to seduce the prince! I think they are Thinking about going to Takae is crazy!"

Mrs. Meng loves Shi Yuqing the most. Just two days after he married the prince, Shi Qiaoting wanted to seduce the prince. Shi Hongyong dared to speak rudely to Shi Yuqing in front of people. All of these angered Meng The old matriarch, she gritted her teeth angrily: "Hmph, you bastards, don't let me catch you again."

Mrs. Shaoguo's wife felt sore, but considering the old lady Meng's health, she could only persuade her from the sidelines, and the teacher Qiao Huang who was sitting at the bottom sneered, "Don't worry, grandma, I was also deaf before, and I didn't know how my second brother treated Yuqing With such actions, if the people in that room dare to hurt my younger brother, the granddaughter will be the first to spare him!"

Mrs. Meng patted the back of her hand: "That's how it should be!"

He Jingyi and Shi Yuqing went back to the palace, they heard Xu Tinglu who was beside the emperor came to deliver a message, announcing that the two of them would go to the Empress Palace to have lunch, they immediately changed their clothes and headed towards Changle Palace.

In Changle Palace, the emperor and empress had already been waiting inside, He Jingyi and Shi Yuqing saluted to the two of them, and then sat down at the dining table with the emperor and empress.

The emperor tasted the cuttlefish meat that the empress personally pinched, looked at He Jingyi and said, "I heard that you took Yuqing to the Shaoguo county mansion today?"

He Jingyi nodded slightly, and respectfully replied: "Return to father, yes."

The emperor hummed, held the bowl and looked at Shi Yuqing again: "Is the old lady still in good health?"

Shi Yuqing put down her chopsticks and replied respectfully: "Father, the old lady is in good health, thank you for your concern."

The emperor nodded: "That's good." Seeing Shi Yuqing put down his hands and bowed his eyebrows respectfully, ready to reply: "But ordinary family members have a meal together, you don't have to be so formal, you can just be the same as Yier."

Shi Yuqing has always wanted to gain fame and help Ming Jun since childhood. He has heard a lot about the current emperor's style of governing the country and respects him. Now that the emperor is sitting in front of him, it really makes him a little nervous. He nodded and politely replied: "Yes, Royal father."

He picked up his rice bowl and glanced at He Jingyi again, He Jingyi smiled at him, picked up a piece of vinegared chicken and put it in his bowl.

Shi Yuqing was restrained and did not dare to pick up his favorite dishes, so He Jingyi gave him all his favorite dishes one by one. Shi Yuqing was too nervous to notice this detail, and just ate quietly with her eyebrows lowered. .

The emperor thought that as a man, he married into the royal family at such a young age, and he was not used to the rules in the palace, so he felt distressed seeing his restrained appearance.

"The governors of Shaoguo County are all generals, did Yuqing ever practice martial arts like his father and elder brother since he was a child?"

Shi Yuqing sat up straight when she heard the emperor's question, and put her hands respectfully, "Return to father, Yuqing has been fond of literature since she was a child, and her aptitude is not enough to practice martial arts, so my father sent me to ethnography to study with Mr."

The emperor looked up at him and smiled: "What have you learned from the master?"

"Going back to my father, I have studied the Four Books, Five Classics and Six Arts."

The emperor nodded: "That's right, the Duke of the State cannot be hereditary, and the heir must have a meritorious reputation to inherit the Dukedom of the State and Commandery. Yuqing has thought about obtaining fame."

These words struck Shi Yuqing's mind, his lowered eyes were full of sadness and sadness, and he nodded: "Go back to father, this is what I planned."

The emperor glanced at him, and then at He Jingyi: "Since Yuqing has read a lot of poetry and books, she will be able to serve the prince better."

Shi Yuqing blinked and nodded: "Yes, father."

The queen wiped the corners of her mouth with yellow silk, and smiled softly: "Yuqing is still young, I'm afraid she's not used to the rules in the palace, and in the future, my family will sit together to eat more often, and I'm afraid I'll get used to it. "

The emperor smiled and didn't answer. He Jingyi glanced at the empress and stretched out his silver chopsticks to give him the deep-fried quail that the emperor liked. The emperor smiled at him and took a bite of the quail meat: "The empress is right. Yes, you and Yi'er should come over and have a meal together when you have free time."

Shi Yuqing nodded and said, "Yes, father."

The queen's downcast eyes couldn't hide her joy, she smiled and served the emperor a bowl of Longjing bamboo fungus soup, raised her eyes and nodded towards He Jingyi.

The corners of He Jingyi's mouth hooked slightly, and he took a piece of mutton into his mouth to chew.

The emperor finished drinking the soup and said, "Have you read the memorial sent by the Jiannan Jiedu envoy?"

He Jingyi said: "But the fact that many farmers in the Chengdu area disappeared for no reason?"

The emperor's brows tightened slightly, and he nodded. He Jingyi raised his eyes and said, "Father, did you investigate why?"

The emperor put down his chopsticks and said with a serious expression: "It's still under investigation. I've sent someone from the Ministry of Punishment to assist in the investigation. It's just..."

He Jingyi saw the emperor squinting his eyes and kept flicking the emerald beads in his hand, and lowered his eyes: "Father is worried..."

The emperor moved his eyes to him, and there seemed to be a sharp light flashing in his slightly squinted eyes. He looked at He Jingyi and nodded, and He Jingyi lowered his eyes: "I understand, and I will relieve my father's worries."

The emperor's gloomy eyes gradually showed love, the corners of his mouth slowly raised, and the hand that moved the emerald bead string slowed down a little.

"Jing Yi is capable, father believes in your ability."

The corners of He Jingyi's mouth curled up, he looked at the emperor and smiled, "It's my blessing to be so favored by my father."

Shi Yuqing has been drinking soup with her head down, her eyes on her nose, her nose on her heart, but she was surprised and puzzled in her heart. The emperor actually discussed the affairs of the court with the prince in front of the queen and himself, although he could hear He half understood, but he still understood the reason why the harem should not be involved in politics. The emperor was so relieved of himself, it seemed that he valued the prince more.

The emperor smiled at He Jingyi in comfort: "Come, try this first-grade official swallow. Your mother knows you like it, so she specially asked someone to make it. Yuqing will also try it."

Shi Yuqing quickly nodded her head in gratitude, Zhutong and Qiu Zhi quickly served soup for them.

The empress smiled and said, "Seeing the emperor and Yi'er father and son enjoying themselves together makes me really happy."

The emperor smiled and shook her hand: "It's the empress who raised her so well that Yi'er can be so outstanding."

Although the queen has reached middle age, she is still gentle and pleasant, nodded and said: "Where is the credit of the concubine, Yi'er is the most like the emperor, and it is only natural that he is outstanding."

These words seemed to enter the emperor's heart, he looked at He Jingyi with satisfaction, He Jingyi smiled and said: "How can my son compare to the father, I am afraid that even if I study hard for ten years, I will not be able to catch up with the father. one."

The emperor laughed and said, "You're so used to making fun of me."

The queen covered her mouth and smiled, and the emperor patted her hand lightly: "It's all the queen's habit."

The queen's soft and witty words are as pleasant as broken jade: "Where are the concubines, the emperor is used to it."

He Jingyi smiled and didn't speak. Shi Yuqing looked at the emperor and empress so affectionately but felt envious. It would be great if his mother could get his father like this. He glanced sideways at He Jingyi beside him, feeling sad: After all , I am not good enough to be liked by my father.

He Jingyi was sensitive to the change in his mood, gently held his hand under the dining table, and said in a low voice, "Is Yuqing tired?"

Once Shi Yuqing regained her senses, she hurriedly replied, "I'm not tired."

The emperor saw the movements of the two of them: "You came to Changle Palace early in the morning without taking a break. You must be tired. Let someone serve you and go back to rest."

He Jingyi nodded: "Yes, Father."

The queen moved her body slightly towards the emperor, and said softly: "The emperor may be tired after talking for a while, why not just sleep with the concubine for lunch? In the concubine's hall, the phoenix bestowed by the emperor is lit. The marrow is fragrant, the fragrance is fresh and pleasant, and it is also beneficial to the body, and the concubines are lit all the time, the emperor must serve the concubines properly in order to satisfy the concubines' hearts."

The emperor patted her hand on his arm: "The queen is bothering you, so I will rest here with the queen."

The queen's cheeks flushed with joy when she heard that, He Jingyi led Shi Yuqing to leave, the emperor waved his hand, and led the queen into the inner hall.
