Queen Cai didn't expect that she didn't say this, but the "poisonous fire" still burned over.

The corners of her mouth twitched twice, glared at the relieved Qin Meiren fiercely, and said with a dry smile: "The concubine thinks that King Chu, as the eldest son of the emperor, should have something more to do, and the errand of Zongzheng Temple can be handed over to the clan over there in Gyeongju...... That's why I said that in a moment's impatience...... The emperor has a lot of opportunities, and there are too many things to do, so he needs the help and reminder of the people around him. ”

She portrayed herself as a worried and outspoken image, so that the emperor would no longer have an opinion on it.

But the Great Zhou Emperor she faced always had a way to anger people.

"yes, yes." The emperor nodded.

Half of Empress Cai's face twitched a few times, she really didn't want to hear the emperor say these four words at all.

Just four words, but they pierced her heart like a spike.

The emperor agreed with her words, but these four words always had a sense of mockery.

The emperor said again: "In addition, you said that Wei Guogong will teach the king of Chu with his heart for the sake of the relationship between Weng and his son-in-law?" ”

"Huh?" Empress Cai was a little confused, "Isn't there something wrong?" ”

The emperor smiled and said, "The queen actually thinks of Wei Guogong like this." ”

"......" Queen Cai is a spirit.

The emperor sighed: "In your mind, is Wei Guogong a person who hides selfishness and does not think about his family and country? ”

Empress Cai hurriedly defended: "This is not what the concubine body means, the concubine body, the concubine body ......"

Where did she think that the emperor would be so nitpicky and pick on her words?

"Okay," the emperor waved his hand, too lazy to listen to her explanation, "Since the murder of the Chu Palace, the remnants of the previous dynasty have been haunting and plotting to restore the country. And the king of Chu has the blood of the previous dynasty, so it is not suitable to follow the side of the Duke of Wei Guo to guard the frontier. ”

The life experience of the king of Chu was said so directly by the emperor, it seemed that he had never done it before, and everyone's faces became subtle, and they looked at the man beside Xue Jinyi intentionally or unintentionally.

Ai Yun was very calm and calm, like a statue standing still.

Empress Cai narrowed her eyes, even though she was unwilling in her heart, she didn't dare to object, "Yes, the concubine body will not be mentioned anymore." ”

"There is no need to mention this matter, the king of Chu will continue to stay in Zongzheng Temple to do things. Zongzheng Temple manages the royal family, clans and relatives, which involves a lot, so it is not a simple errand to waste time, and the king of Chu does it well. ”

Ai Yun got up, came to the throne, and saluted respectfully, "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

"Hmm." The emperor waved his hand.

Ai Yun immediately retreated to his place.

The emperor looked at Empress Cai again, "Queen, you are the mother of a country, you should be cautious in your words and deeds." ”

Empress Cai hurriedly lowered her head and pretended to admit her mistake, just wanting to let this matter pass.

This time, not only to deal with Pu Yangxuan, but also to test the emperor's intentions.

Although the emperor still doesn't seem to have the slightest father-son affection for King Chu, and even mentioned King Chu's life experience in public, these words somewhat embarrassed King Chu, but she felt that something was wrong.

But she didn't dare to test anything anymore.

The conversations again and again made her know one thing more - don't talk to the emperor casually.

He always has a way to make people angry, there is always a way to make things not go as people expect, there is always a way to make people scared and frightened.

"Xue Zhao, the Duke of Weiguo, has made great contributions to the Great Zhou, it can be said that without him, I am afraid that there would be no glory of the Puyang clan today, and we must not say anything about the character of the Duke of Weiguo. If it spreads, it will be said that the royal family has opinions and grievances against the Duke of Weiguo, and we can come forward to clarify. If it is used by the remnants of the previous dynasty...... Has the queen ever thought about the impact? ”

The emperor said as he stared at Empress Cai.

His eyes were as deep as the night sky, boundless.

It is precisely because he can't see the meaning in his eyes that this sense of uncertainty will make people fear from the bottom of their hearts.

Empress Cai hurriedly got up and bent her knees in front of the emperor, "It's the concubine's inconsiderate body, and it's the family banquet, so ......"

"I don't need to hear this," the emperor shook his head, "what I want to know is whether the queen knows how to repent." ”

"Concubine ......"

"The queen should go back and think about it." The emperor looked at Concubine De, "Concubine De will send the queen back." ”

"Your Majesty!" Empress Cai was stunned and felt a great shame.

The emperor picked up the wine glass, sipped the wine slowly, blocked the little half of his face, and didn't mean to pay attention to her at all.

Concubine De came to Queen Cai, "Your Majesty, please." ”

Empress Cai's fingers tightened the hem of her skirt, and her mouth smelled of blood with hatred.

"Yes, the concubine is retiring." She had no choice but to get up and retreat.

Fan Zhaoyi smiled and drank a glass of wine.

Today's incident is really funny.

She likes to see Empress Cai and her henchmen reprimanded and punished by the emperor.

Empress Cai and Concubine De left, just when everyone thought that this matter was over, and Qin Meiren secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the emperor spoke again.

"Qin Meiren, starting tomorrow, let the three princes go to practice martial arts with Suiyang Bo. What future can you have if you stay in the Hongwen Pavilion all day long? ”

"Your Majesty?" Qin Meiren wanted to cry without tears, "Suiyang Bofu is in Huazhou, you are ......"

The emperor said: "There is an important pass in Huazhou, and Suiyang Bo has been stationed there for some years, and the three princes can learn from it in the past." ”

"Your Majesty, do you want to ...... your concubine and your concubine" Qin Meiren saw that the emperor was serious, and she really cried.

The crying of the beauty is like a pear blossom with rain, which makes people pity.

The emperor had a cold face, "Aren't you a mother who hopes that your child will be mediocre for the rest of your life, eating and waiting for death?" His gaze suddenly became grim and serious, and he glared at the weak third prince, "Then he is not worthy of the surname Puyang!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone shook their shoulders.

Qin Meiren was so frightened that she didn't dare to speak anymore, only tears kept falling out of her eyes.

The emperor sighed: "The rare family banquets are not satisfactory...... Qin Meiren loves to cry so much, go back and cry. ”

"......" Qin Meiren covered her face and went out.

The palace maid sent the third prince and the second princess back.

This meeting made Chen Jingyao a little unable to sit still at first, but seeing that the emperor said, "Let's continue to eat and drink", Shi Shiran sat firmly in his position, thinking that if he brushed his presence in front of the emperor, it would also help him get the position of the crown princess.

As if the episode just now didn't happen at all, everyone should eat and drink, and no one asked about the queen after Concubine De came back, Xue Jinyi quickly swept around, and her eyes fell on Ai Yun.

Ai Yunting plays Pu Yangxuan perfectly, and there is Pu Yangxuan's shadow in every move.

Suddenly, she felt a gaze fall on her, and she didn't turn away for a long time, and after thinking about it, she followed her senses and looked over.

The person who looked at her was the emperor.

The emperor held a wine glass in front of him and nodded to her slightly, with deep meaning in his eyes.

Xue Jinyi smiled slightly.

Both sides looked away.

After that, there were dancers singing and dancing, and the atmosphere in the water pavilion was more relaxed and pleasant.

After eating, the emperor left first, followed by Concubine De and Concubine Xian, and then Fan Zhaoyi came to Xue Jinyi and Ai Yun, and said with a smile: "Congratulations, His Royal Highness King Chu doesn't have to leave the capital." ”

Everyone understands that once the King of Chu leaves the capital, he may never come back.

"Yes, I'm used to living in the capital," Xue Jinyi smiled: "If you move away, you may really not be able to adapt to it." King Chu and I, I just want to live a small life peacefully. ”

"Oh?" Fan Zhaoyi looked at them and dispelled a little doubt in her heart for the time being, "Then I wish His Royal Highness the King of Chu and Princess Chu harmony and beauty, and give birth to a noble son as soon as possible." The concubine retired first. ”

Xue Jinyi nodded and looked at Fan Zhaoyi's back.

Just now, Fan Zhaoyi was testing whether they had the idea of competing for power.

She chuckled, unconcerned.

"Let's go back too." Xue Jinyi looked up and smiled at Ai Yun, naturally holding his arm.

"Cousin, wait a minute!"

Someone called out to her.
