Chapter 336: quarrel with emperor
In Changle Palace.
After hearing Lu Chen's accusation, Qiao Jinniang stepped forward and wrapped her arms around Lu Chen's narrow waist.
Qiao Jinniang smiled and said, "Since you want to hang out with the two of us, just say it directly, but if you don't say it directly, why are you sulking?
And look at my hand, for your birthday, I haven't slept well for two days, and I don't know how many times the needle pierced me! "
When Lu Chen saw that Qiao Jinniang's smooth hands did have needle holes, he couldn't help feeling distressed.
Qiao Jinniang took Lu Chen's hand to a box, and gave the tiger doll to Lu Chen and said:
"You have to put away the birthday present this time. If someone gets dirty again, don't think I'll do it for you again!"
Lu Chen took the tiger puppet. Although he was in a hurry, the stitches were fine and the tiger's eyes were embroidered lifelike.
Lu Chen said guiltily, "I just thought you just took a white jade hair crown to kill me."
Qiao Jinniang smiled and said, "I want to give you this birthday gift, but you are shameless, I still want it! How could such a little tiger be brought to the ministers.
How can I ignore your birthday?
You are good, you are mad at yourself, just now I made you your favorite dish, and you didn't touch a single chopstick..."
Lu Chen said, "Those are not my favorites."
"Ok?"
"I only like to eat steamed rabbit meat, braised rabbit meat..."
When Qiao Jinniang reacted, she was completely powerless.
It was dark and there was a banquet in the palace, but she had no strength at all, and just wanted to get a good night's sleep.
Lu Chen changed his dragon robe energetically and went to the palace banquet.
When everyone saw that there was only His Majesty and no Empress, they couldn't help thinking that the Empress seemed to have annoyed His Majesty during the luncheon just now.
More speculation.
Zheng Xiao was even more flustered when he didn't see Qiao Jinniang, and ordered someone to send a letter to Changle Palace to ask to see Qiao Jinniang, but what he got was that Qiao Jinniang had already rested.
It was only dusk at this time, how could it have stopped so early?
Princess Fulu glanced at the sky and said, "So early? No way their rumors are true, right?
Has your majesty quarreled with the queen? No, what can the two of them quarrel with? "
Fu Lu asked himself that he was tired of looking at Princess Shou'an and his concubine since he was a child.
But sometimes when she went to Changle Palace to see Lu Chen and Qiao Jinniang, she was even more tired.
It's not her and Qiao Lu's newlyweds. They are both old and old, and they are still very tired and crooked.
Zheng Xiao was worried when he heard the words.
At this time, the second prince's nurse came over with the crying second prince.
Ang'er is a little clinging to Qiao Jinniang at night. When it gets dark, she will look for Qiao Jinniang's figure. She falls asleep better, and she must see Qiao Jinniang when she is awake.
After a while, he was about to cry.
The nurse stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the second prince wants to see the queen, but you said you are not allowed to go in and disturb the queen... These two princes..."
Lu Chen ordered his nanny to give Ang'er to him, and he held Ang'er. The little baby who was crying at first stopped crying and stopped crying.
But this scene has attracted a lot of speculation.
The second prince couldn't see the empress even though he was crying, could it be that His Majesty really wants to deal with the empress?
…
The next day, the chatter about the quarrel between the emperor and the empress grew louder and louder.
As soon as Xie Yun stepped into Chang'an, he heard discussions at a breakfast stall in Chang'an.
Then he said to the confidant next to him: "Stop the carriage."
Xie Yun got off the carriage.
The women who passed by couldn't help but look sideways.
A man with such a handsome face is probably rare in the world, and the moon-white long-sleeved robe makes him very unique.
"You don't know that when the Queen presented her birthday gift yesterday, His Majesty was already displeased. After that, he was even more angry that the Queen was not allowed to participate in the longevity banquet. Even the Second Prince cried, His Majesty did not allow the Second Prince to go to the Queen!"
"This emperor and empress are only so affectionate, but now that the Qiao family is very powerful, presumably His Majesty will not dare to touch the queen's concubine easily."
"No matter how powerful the foreign relatives are, but His Majesty is not a vegetarian, maybe he will be abolished?"
Xie Yun frowned deeply, and went outside the palace to post a post.
Everyone at the gate of the palace felt that the man's appearance was somewhat familiar, but they couldn't remember where they had seen it.
After Qiao Jinniang got up, it was already three poles in the sun. After she got up, she received a post from Xie Yun, and she ordered someone to bring Xie Yun in.
But Hong Ling went back and said, "Your Majesty said that Young Master Xie has not been in Chang'an for a long time, so he called Young Master Xie to the Taiji Palace to reminisce.
However, Madam Hou and Princess Fulu came. "
Qiao Jinniang said softly, "Let them come in."
As soon as Mrs. Hou entered, she saw Qiao Jinniang, whose face was haggard and had not put on makeup, and she couldn't help but feel distressed:
"Jinniang, what happened to you and Your Majesty?"
Seeing that Zheng Xiao was worried, Qiao Jinniang said suspiciously, "I am very good with Your Majesty, there is nothing to do."
Zheng Xiao was afraid that Jin Niang would report the good news but not the bad news, and said: "Jin Niang, even though Your Majesty bullied you, we as ministers can't do anything for you.
But if you say it, you can let the Qiao family help you think about countermeasures. You must not support it alone. "
Zheng Xiao doesn't believe that Qiao Jinniang is so haggard, there is nothing wrong, "Your eyes are all blue and black..."
Qiao Jinniang smiled lightly and said, "Mother, Your Majesty and I are really fine. If you don't believe your daughter, her daughter will take you to the Taiji Palace to find Majesty."
Zheng Xiao put down his worries when he saw Qiao Jinniang saying this, "Then why didn't you even attend the evening banquet last night? Now there is a lot of buzz outside the palace..."
Qiao Jinniang was also quite helpless. The affairs between her and Lu Chen's husband and wife were slightly unsatisfactory, and the people outside the palace knew about it faster than they knew it themselves.
She can only comfort that the world is peaceful and the weather is good, so that the people of Chang'an can still have the heart to talk about her in their spare time.
Qiao Jinniang explained: "I was busy for a few days because of the Wanshou Banquet, and I felt sleepy in the afternoon, so I took a rest early..."
Zheng Xiao didn't believe it: "Really?"
Qiao Jinniang is not such a person who doesn't know the overall situation.
Naturally, Qiao Jinniang couldn't tell the truth, "That's it, I'm asking my mother to help me explain it outside the palace."
…
Qiao Ruoyi walked out of the hall in the morning, and saw from a distance a figure with a touch of moon white standing in front of the Taiji Hall, and his appearance was very similar to Xie Yun.
Qiao Ruoyi walked over, looked at Xie Yun and said, "Excuse me, this son, who are you?"
Xie Yun said clearly: "I am the current owner of the Xie family, and also Xie Yun's brother."
Qiao Ruoyi said, "So Xie Yun has a brother?"
"I am her twin brother. I have been sick since I was a child, so I don't see people very often. After Xie Yun left, my illness slowly improved, and I can come out to see people."
Qiao Ruoyi said lightly: "That's the case, Xie Patriarch, I will always remember the grace of your sister for donating books, alas, I never thought that she died young at a young age.
I found a portrait of a little girl in a book of "Precious History" that she presented, and I think it is also her relic..."
Xie Yun suddenly remembered when he heard Zhen Shi and the portrait.
When he was young, he drew a small portrait of Qiao Jinniang, which he always used as a bookmark, and finally clipped it to the book of Zhenshi.
It's just that he forgot about it when he finished sorting out the books for Chang'an!
Fortunately, Qiao Ruoyi discovered this precious history, otherwise Xie Yun would not have been able to explain why Xie Yun kept the small portrait of the queen when she was a child.
There is a contradiction between the emperor and the empress at this moment, and no one can make a fuss about it!
Xie Yun asked in a cool voice, "Where's the little statue? Give it to me!"
