Chapter 131: Drunken Queen Mother 32
Why don't you go to the Queen now to apologize? After thinking about it, the seventh prince shook his head. There was no reason for the incident, and he went to ask for the crime for no reason. I was afraid that the empress would be suspicious of his own intentions, which would be self-defeating. to admit wrong.
Today, Wang and Queen Qianqiu, he also gave a birthday gift, a three-inch high golden statue of Guanyin, because it was useless, this birthday gift was obviously vulgar and mediocre.
The **** said that giving gifts is not about preciousness, but about your heart, and the seventh prince agreed with it. Since he wanted to apologize, he planned to send some heartfelt gifts.
When he was recovering in Changchun Palace, he found that Queen Wang liked reading the book very much. If you give a gift, you have to do what you like. Although the book is not valuable, it is the heart of the Queen. Dedicating some of these words to the queen, is it considered to be intentional?
The seventh prince's book has not been collected yet, so the queen held a chrysanthemum viewing banquet in the harem, which is extremely rare.
Home, this is the Queen's concubine showing the wedding of the Twelfth Prince!
Between classes in the imperial study, the fifth prince greeted the twelfth prince with envy: "Twelfth brother, you are really lucky, the queen mother has always been thrifty and does not like extravagance, since she is in charge of the middle palace Since then, except for the first day and the future (1), I have never held a palace banquet. Now, for your marriage, I have made an exception to hold a chrysanthemum banquet. Hurry up!"
The eighth prince and the ninth prince also echoed sourly: "That's right!"
The queen summons the wives to hold the palace banquet, but the concubines do not have this power. Palace banquet want to compare? No wonder the princes are hot.
Doesn't the old man treat all our brothers equally? From clothing, food, housing and transportation to offering sacrifices, which one did she treat preferentially? Who did she treat harshly?"
Except for the third prince who was ordered by His Majesty the emperor to be imprisoned in Yongxiang for mutilating siblings, and even the seventh prince who used a sword to smash one of her palaces, she has never made things difficult or harsh. Queen Wang treats all princes equally.
"As for the fact that the queen mother held a palace banquet for me to see the marriage, it was because I was recorded in the name of the queen mother." In terms of clan etiquette, now that I am the parent and son of the mother and the queen, what is wrong with the mother and the queen managing the marriage for me?"
"Isn't your brother's marriage handled by your own mother and concubine? If you brothers also want your mother to hold a palace banquet for you to see your marriage, then you only need to let your mother and concubine report it. Queen Mother, just entrust your marriage to the Queen Mother." The 12th prince said with a smile and bowed his hands in the direction of Changchun Palace: "The Queen Mother is kind, she will definitely not shirk, and then the brothers can also have a banquet with the palace. It's time to see the relatives."
The princes here heard the words of the twelfth prince and could not help but began to suppress the urge to think of Hai Bian for a meal. The twelfth prince's words were indeed reasonable, but there was absolutely no possibility of implementation. .
In the Queen?
"Show off!" The fourth prince kept pointing at the twelfth prince and asked him with a smile, "Now that you are the queen's direct son, you are starting to show off in front of your brothers, right?"
The twelfth prince shouted that he was wronged, and smiled at the fourth prince: "It's a fact that the younger brother is recorded in the name of the mother, and it is also a fact that the mother loves the younger brother, so why show it? But I never dare to accept the accusation of the younger brother."
"Begging for a beating!" The fourth prince laughed angrily at the stinky display of the twelfth prince, he picked up a book from the desk and threw it on the twelfth prince: "This smelly The shameless guy is so annoying, you brothers follow me and fork him out!"
These liveliness have nothing to do with the seventh prince sitting in the last corner of the imperial study. Tens of thousands of ants are sore and numb, sore and bitter.
As soon as he remembered the opportunity he missed, the seventh prince regretted breaking his liver and intestines, and the pain was unbearable.
The twelfth prince's blind date banquet was held as scheduled. The youngest daughter of Fuguo's public family fell in love with the 12th prince at first sight. As a sign of caution, the Queen asked the emperor's imperial decree for the marriage.
The Seventh Prince who regretted hearing this news was shocked and fell ill.
Queen Wang sent her confidant, Shunyi, to visit Yuqing Palace. Aunt Shunyi respectfully asked about the physical condition of the seventh prince, and conveyed the empress's concern for the seventh prince. After a bunch of medicinal herbs to nourish the body, I left.
This is an excellent opportunity. After recovering from illness, the seventh prince went to Changchun Palace to thank him with the words he had collected. He wanted to take this opportunity to show his thoughts in front of the empress.
Now he doesn't expect Queen Wang to remember him, he just asks Queen Wang to remember him, and that's enough to manage a decent marriage for himself.
The Seventh Prince, who was fully prepared, failed to see Wang Qingqing, and Aunt Shunyi told him, "The Empress was ordered to go to Huagai Hall."
The Seventh Prince went to Changchun Palace three times in a row and failed to see the Queen Wang, Queen Wang stayed in the Huagai Palace and did not return to the palace.
On this day, Zheng Shaofu, who was on duty, was teaching and learning to the princes. A team of eunuchs and guards suddenly broke into the imperial study and read out His Majesty the emperor's decree, asking all the princes to go to the Huagai Hall to meet them immediately.
The younger prince was stunned and didn't know what was going on.
At this time, the atmosphere in the Canopy Hall was extremely dull. In the front hall of the emperor's early court, the civil and military ministers stood in two groups, left and right, and a group of princes were ruled by the forbidden army and knelt in the middle of the hall.
In the apse used as the emperor's palace, Wang Qingqing knelt in front of the imperial couch in plain clothes and with red eyes.
The prime minister on the left stood in front of the imperial couch to dictate, the prime minister on the right knelt down a few feet in front of him and wrote. After an imperial decree was written, His Majesty the Emperor struggled and said, "Good."
With the approval of His Majesty the Emperor, the two prime ministers took up the imperial decree and presented it to the next Taishi, Taifu, and Taibao Sangong.
After the three public inspections, the emperor's private seal was requested for the internal history order, and the imperial jade seal was requested for the Zhongshu order. The two officials affixed their seals to the imperial decree under the supervision of five important ministers.
After the seal was completed, the two copied the imperial decree word by word, and added two chapters to the transcribed imperial decree, and then stamped the Chinese book order and the internal history order. After the seal is sealed, it will be handed over to the Imperial Army to be sent to the watch and seal library and stored by the emperor (2). So far, this imperial decree is considered reasonable and legal.
His Majesty the Emperor opened his eyes with difficulty, and said to several ministers with anger: "After the decree is declared, the prince will be called to see you."
The ministers shook their sleeves and said: "No!"
Come to the main hall together, several ministers looked at each other, the Prime Minister Zuo stepped forward with the imperial decree in his hand: "Your Majesty's imperial decree!"
In the hall, in addition to the guards on duty, all the ministers, the princes and the palace people knelt on the ground.
Gong is even more looking forward to future generations. The 12th prince Xuan, who is extremely intelligent, blessed by God, has an extraordinary appearance, and is extremely beautiful in talent. , to tie the heart of the four seas..."
After reciting the imperial decree, the ministers and the palace servants shouted long live, the princes looked at the twelve princes who were kneeling among the brothers, standing up and took the imperial decree from the left prime minister. , All of them were confused, not knowing how to react.
Several ministers ordered to go to the front hall to read the imperial edict, His Majesty the Emperor saw that it was impossible, Wang Qingqing held His Majesty's hand and felt that he was in a trance.
In the last life, His Majesty the Emperor was in critical condition and was accompanied by Concubine Gao. Call: "Brother Zhao, Brother Zhao."
Under her call, His Majesty the Emperor managed to open his turbid eyes, looked at her with a charming smile: "It's Ah Qing!" He closed his eyes immediately after saying a word.
The imperial doctor next to him took a feather to test the breath of His Majesty the Emperor, but the feather did not move, the imperial doctor fell down in front of the imperial couch and stretched out his hand to check the dragon veins. Her own Wang Qingqing said: "Qi Niangniang, Your Majesty, Long Yu has returned to heaven."
The emperor did not wait for the new prince's audience, he died!
Queen Wang knelt in front of His Majesty's mourning hall and cried to the death, the seventh prince who was guarding in the corner asked his personal **** to send a futon wrapped in brocade, and he saw the opportunity to hold the futon and come to the king queen.
"Mother and Queen condolences." He gave the futon in his hand to Queen Wang with red eyes: "Father and Queen have passed away, please mother and Queen to take care of the phoenix."
