Chapter 70: Seeking to See the Emperor
Ruan Tao stood in place, looking at the back of Prince Na leaving, and the look on his face couldn't help but be a little worried.
It seems that he can't wait for tomorrow and must go to the palace today.
Without thinking about it, Ruan Tao settled the account, and then also left the restaurant and headed towards the palace.
At this time, in the palace, the emperor and the queen were resting in the pavilion together, and there were maids on the side to fan them gently, which was very cool.
The pool is full of lotus leaves, close to each other, green, and everything that catches your eye is green.
Some lotus flowers bloomed and bloomed on the water, very beautiful, with a faint pink color. The wind blows, carrying a faint floral fragrance in the air, wafting into the tip of the nose, and smelling very pleasant.
The queen peeled an orange and fed it to the emperor one by one.
The two of them leaned on the chairs, very happy, enjoying this life.
Tea and fruit snacks are placed on the table.
There are three thousand beauties in the emperor's harem, and only the queen is pampered, and the two also have two children, the eldest son is the prince, and the younger son can now run and jump, and there are special people with him, and he will not come to disturb their two-person world.
The queen is Qi Xiaoxian's own sister, both of them are orphans of loyal ministers, and she was selected into the palace when she reached the age of marriage and became the emperor's woman.
At first, it was just a small concubine, then a concubine, and finally a queen.
The emperor likes her not only because she is beautiful, but more importantly, the queen has a quiet temperament, she has always been cold, and she will not be disturbed or affected by anything.
The temperament is as warm as water, plain, but it also gives people the most real feeling, which makes people like to get along with her.
In addition, with the emperor's favor and ten fingers not touching the spring water, the queen is obviously in her thirties, and she still looks like she is only in her twenties, young and beautiful, coupled with her unique temperament, which makes her even more charming.
The emperor generally went down to the court, and after handling official business, he would go to the queen and two people to swim in the lake, visit the imperial garden, or blow the wind in the pavilion, they all felt very comfortable and comfortable.
Enjoy every day like this.
"Queen, why don't you eat it?"
Seeing that the queen fed herself all the oranges, the emperor raised his eyebrows, raised his eyes to look at her, and opened his mouth in confusion.
"It's okay, the emperor will eat first, and the concubines will eat it in a while."
The queen shook her head, her eyebrows and eyes curved, and a shallow smile overflowed on her lips, very satisfied.
Every time the emperor comes to accompany her, it already makes her feel very happy. He persuaded the emperor to be wet with rain and dew, so many times he would also drive him to other concubines, otherwise it would cause criticism among the courtiers.
"You eat too."
While the emperor was talking, he had already peeled an orange and fed it to the queen.
The relationship between the emperor and the queen is good, and the maids present were also very shocked when they saw it, but they behaved very plainly, and they couldn't see anything unusual on their faces.
When the two of them were talking to each other, the chief eunuch came to pray.
"Your Majesty, it's Lord Ruan Taoruan, who said that he came to see you for something important."
The chief steward waited cautiously aside, waiting for the emperor's decision.
The emperor didn't speak, the movement in his hand paused, and then he picked up a handkerchief and wiped the corners of the queen's mouth.
"I'm fine, you can go. Since Lord Ruan has something important to look for you, you can't delay. ”
The queen shook her head, reached out and took the emperor's hand, signaling him to take the big things first.
The emperor furrowed his eyebrows, and there was a hint of impatience on his face, but he quickly hid his emotions.
"Go and bring Ruan Tao over."
"Yes."
The chief manager nodded, then exited the pavilion and went to find Ruan Tao.
"Then I'll avoid it for a moment."
The queen is very knowledgeable and knows that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, so when she heard that the emperor was going to bring Ruan Tao to the imperial garden, she wanted to leave.
"No, why are you in a hurry to leave, listen to what he said first."
The emperor grabbed the queen and didn't let her leave, let her sit beside him obediently, and the two of them were sitting precariously, waiting for Ruan Tao to come.
After a while, the chief manager came with Ruan Tao alone.
Ruan Tao walked in a hurry, his body was covered with sweat, and his forehead was full of beads of sweat, it was not hot this day, but he felt a little hot at the moment.
"See the Emperor, the Empress. Long live my emperor, long live, long live, mother, ”
As soon as he saw the emperor and queen, Ruan Tao hurriedly knelt down and saluted the emperor and queen.
"Get up."
The emperor opened his mouth lightly and glanced at Ruan Tao, he hadn't seen him for more than half a month, and he was doing well.
Although he didn't come to the court every day, he occasionally presented a recital, and many of the opinions and insights in it were quite unique, so he couldn't help but take a few more looks.
"Lord Ruan is polite."
The queen spoke on the side, and then instructed the chief steward to pour a cup of tea for Ruan Tao.
He must be thirsty to look at, right?
"Thank you, Queen."
After receiving the tea handed over by the chief manager, Ruan Tao bowed respectfully to the queen, and then drank the tea. Immediately, I felt a lot more comfortable, and my mouth was no longer dry.
"Your Majesty, please forgive the rudeness of the ministers."
After drinking the tea, Ruan Tao suddenly knelt down, startling the queen.
"Why did you suddenly kneel again? Didn't I wake you up just now? ”
The emperor didn't understand, looked at Ruan Tao, and didn't know what he was doing.
"Your Majesty, on that day in the court half a month ago, forgive the minister's nonsense, the minister has a hard time, so he has to do it."
Ruan Tao did not get up, but knelt on the ground and explained.
"Stand up and speak clearly."
The emperor couldn't stand him like this, and waved his hand to tell Ruan Tao to stand up.
Half a month ago, Ruan Tao was indeed unscrupulous in the court, and he was angry at that time, and directly dismissed him from his post and let him think about it at home.
Did he think Ruan Tao had forgotten about this? Although he didn't take it too seriously, and he had already said that Ruan Tao could come back to the court whenever he wanted.
But listening to what Ruan Tao said just now, it seems that there is really another hidden truth in this matter?
Was he coerced? Shouldn't it?
When he was thinking about it, Ruan Tao stood up tremblingly, and then explained to the emperor.
"Before that day, it was the Double Ninth Festival, and my second daughter Ruan Di invited Lord Qi, the commander of the Qing Officials Division, and their brothers to have dinner together, and just happened to run into Huang Bangwei to make trouble in the restaurant."
The queen originally didn't care about the result, but Ruan Tao suddenly said about her younger brother, this matter is still related to Xiao Xian?
"Go on."
The emperor raised his hand and asked Ruan Tao to continue.
"Huang Bangwei's friend made trouble in the restaurant and was taken away by Lord Qi's men, and he himself shared a table with Lord Qi and they had dinner together."
"At the dinner table, Huang Bangwei revealed that he was about to marry my second daughter Ruan Di, and said that some of them were all facilitated by Prince Na, and preparing for the Double Ninth Festival is like asking for marriage from above."
