Chapter 37 Indifference and Alienation(1/2)
After the Queen Mother went to bed, Qi Qingyu brought some snacks to the Ancestral Temple. The emperor was still kneeling in front of the portrait of his father. Qi Qingyu quietly approached. Originally there were many guards guarding the place, but they all knew Qi Qingyu.
, and also knew that she was now a popular person in front of the Empress Dowager, so naturally she did not dare to stop her.
"Your Majesty, I brought you some snacks!" Qi Qingyi put down the food box and took out the snacks.
"Who asked you to come in!" The emperor's cold tone made Qi Qingyu feel like she was before.
"You haven't eaten for a day, I brought it to you specially!" Qi Qingyun said coolly, "If you don't eat, you will be hungry, not me!" Qi Qingyun sometimes even
I really admire the childishness of this emperor. He actually gambled with his own body in anger.
"Who asked you to come in?" Although the emperor is childish sometimes, he is indeed smart. He naturally knows that she can come in because of the identity of the person next to her as the empress dowager, allowing her unimpeded access, which makes him even more angry.
, he had to admit that he was the puppet of his mother and the Qi family. He had to give them whatever they wanted. He had no choice but to do whatever they wanted from him.
"I came just because I wanted to!" Originally, when he was calm, she would blush when she saw him, but now, he doesn't give her a good look every time he sees her, and she forgets that she needs to blush.
Heartbeat
"Ha, ha, ha..." The emperor suddenly laughed wildly, and he said to his father's portrait, "Father, have you seen it? The country you have worked so hard to build will soon belong to the Qi family!"
The emperor began to kowtow to the portrait again, "My son is incompetent, father, my son is incompetent! My son is incompetent, my son is incompetent..."
"Your Majesty, don't be like this!" Seeing the Emperor's appearance, Qi Qingyu also felt distressed, "Your Majesty..."
The emperor rested his forehead on the ground and murmured, "I am incompetent... I am incompetent..."
"Your Majesty..." Qi Qingyu hugged the Emperor tightly, "Your Majesty, don't be like this!" She knew she couldn't help him. She was willing to use her arms to give him a little warmth. He was lonely and longed for freedom.
, she understood better that what he cared about was not the throne, but his mother's affirmation of him, her mother's trust and dependence on him. He wanted to be a man who stood upright, not a puppet who was at the mercy of others.
"Queen Mother..." The Emperor and Qi Qingyu hugged each other, and the Emperor murmured "Queen Mother..." Qi Qingyu and the Emperor hugged each other until dawn, and both of them fell asleep.
"The Queen Mother has arrived!" After a night, the Queen Mother also felt sorry for her son, and she also wanted to come and see her son.
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is here!" Qi Qingyu was awakened by the shout, and she pushed the Emperor away
"Qingyu, why are you here?" The Queen Mother didn't like Qi Qingyu doing things without telling her
"Auntie, Qingyu came to see the Emperor because you looked worried about the Emperor last night!" Qi Qingyu also knew that she had violated the Empress Dowager's taboo. She had to find a reason for herself.
She was worried about the emperor, but as the emperor's mother, she must be more worried than she was. She said she was worried for her, and the queen mother should forgive her!
"Qingyu understands the thoughts of the Ai family best!" The Queen Mother also knew that Qi Qingyu's words had a very good effect on easing the conflict between mother and son in this incident.
However, "Stop acting here, Qi Qingyu, you are also a member of the Qi family, do you think I will believe you?" The emperor pushed Qi Qingyu hard to get up in the morning. I don't know why the emperor was not there yet.
Is this the case after waking up, or is it because she is so awake that Qi Qingyu's identity is also sober, and she can clearly remember everything she did before?
"Ah!" Qi Qingyu hit the table leg hard, and her forehead began to bleed, flowing down her cheek. "Go find the imperial doctor quickly!"
The Queen Mother never expected that her son would hate the Qi family so much, so much that he could deal such a ruthless blow to Qi Qingyu, whom he got along well with.
In fact, the emperor was a little surprised when he saw the blood flowing from Qi Qingwen's forehead. He just wanted to push her away, but he never thought that he would break her head.
The Zhu family hates the Qi family, but it is not Qi Qingwen who makes the Zhu family angry. Why do both Chuyang King Zhu Ke and Emperor Zhu Jin take it out on her? Is she a natural punching bag? She is nothing in the Qi family.
Status, in the Qi family, she was the punching bag for Qi Yinhou's father, but in front of Zhu Ke and Zhu Jin, her identity remained unchanged. The more she thought about it, the more she felt aggrieved. She had to vent her grievances. How to vent her grievances? She is now
She didn't have the energy to run two laps or do two somersaults, so she could only cry.
"Does it hurt?" Seeing Qi Qingyu start to shed tears, the Queen Mother felt some pity in her heart.
"Aunt... Aunt..." Qi Qingyu felt even more aggrieved. Only the empress dowager would occasionally care about her, but she had to face her cautiously, for fear that if she was not careful, she would not know how she died.
,"Wow..." Qi Qingyi cried louder.
"Auntie, I know you have been wronged. If it doesn't matter, my aunt will make the decision for you!" Seeing his mother holding Qi Qingwen in her arms, as if she was comforting her wronged daughter, the emperor was suddenly very envious, and he also wanted to feel wronged.
Cry loudly, cry loudly in his mother's arms, but he can't, he is a man, and he is the king of a country. He can't shed tears easily, let alone in front of his mother, because that will make her feel even more
If he is incompetent, she will distrust his ability even more, and she will control him even more intensely. Even he himself will not allow himself to be weak.
"It's time for the emperor to go to court!" It's been a night since he knelt down for the portrait of his father. At dawn, it's time for him to go to court again. She can't delay it.
"Go!" The Queen Mother nodded. At this time, the imperial doctor also came. He first stopped the bleeding on Qi Qingyu's forehead, and then checked her pulse. Qi Qingyu had no serious problems except for the skin injury, but
, the imperial doctor followed the usual practice and prescribed some soothing and tonic medicine for Qi Qingyi.
Three days later, Feng Zhaorong died due to the cold she suffered during confinement.
The entire palace, and even the entire capital, knew that Feng Zhaorong was killed because she had a son earlier than Empress Qi. As for whether she was killed by Empress Qi or the Empress Dowager Qi, it was unknown.
However, no matter who killed them, they were all members of the Qi family. There must be nothing wrong with placing this account on the Qi family.
On the day Feng Zhaorong died, the emperor ran to Cining Palace and asked the empress dowager, "Mother, why did you do this?"
"Aijia doesn't know what you are talking about, Your Majesty?" The Empress Dowager said to Qi Qingyu, who was still in a daze, "Qingyu, continue to pinch Aijia's head. Your skillful hands will pinch Aijia's whole body.
Feeling refreshed!"
"Queen Mother?" Qi Qingyun was a little surprised. What happened to the Queen Mother's indifferent appearance? How could the Emperor be so depressed? He was completely opposite to the high-spirited and suave young gentleman Zhu Gongzi he first met.
two people
"It's no big deal!" the Queen Mother said calmly.
"Well!" Qi Qingyu also knew that the Queen Mother did not want her to interfere too much in this matter.
"Isn't a human life a big deal for the mother?" The emperor said angrily, "But she is the son of the emperor's woman. I can't even protect my son's mother, so what kind of emperor am I?" The emperor actually said
He didn't care about that woman when he didn't want to be the emperor. However, his son was his. He thought that his son should be with his mother and love each other. He should not be cold and distant like he and his mother were. Moreover, he was almost close to it.
Turned against each other
"She's just a bitch!" The empress dowager's cold voice made Qi Qingwen realize once again how serious this matter was. Although only a little Zhaorong was killed, there were too many people involved.
Yes, there are too many forces involved.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. On the night of the full moon, people and the moon are reunited. Naturally, the palace will hold a family banquet. The Zhu family and the Qi family have to fight face to face again.
Qi Qingyu stood next to the Empress Dowager, looking at the emperor's lonely appearance, with mixed feelings in her heart. Since that day, the emperor has not said a word to her again. She is still often ordered to send this and that to the emperor, but the emperor is just
She was asked to accept the things but refused to see her. She was not even punished like at the beginning.
Qi Qingyun suddenly discovered that the emperor was using indifference to confront the empress dowager. Especially, King Chu Yang, whom he trusted most, was not in the capital. He was completely isolated. He was lonely, but he did not want to seek friends, let alone companionship.
, he wants to leave himself completely to loneliness
Qi Qingyu looked at the emperor. Suddenly, she felt that she saw Zhu Jin with a sunny smile. That Zhu Jin had exactly the same handsome face as the emperor in front of her, but he had a bright smile. That was not the same person.
It must not be a person, but who is it? Qi Qingyu shook her head, she couldn't remember, she couldn't remember.
"Qingyu!" The Empress Dowager had finished her polite words and was about to go back to the palace. Qi Qingyu was still in a daze, and the Empress Dowager called her softly.
"Yes, the Queen Mother!" Qi Qingyi looked at the Queen Mother and knew that she was leaving the table, so he had to leave with her. She also needed to go back now. She had to think carefully and find out who that person was!
"Qingyu, don't go back with the Ai family. Have fun here!" The Queen Mother had no intention of letting Qi Qingyu go back with her. She thought Qi Qingyu was young and had a lively personality, so she would like it.
She wanted to let her have more fun here at such a lively banquet.
"Qingyu, I'll stay with you!" Qi Qingyu said
"No, you can play whatever you want. You can't stay with an old guy like the Ai family every day!" the Queen Mother said with a smile.
"Queen Mother, Qingyu is willing to accompany you, and you are not old either!" Qi Qingyu said
"Okay, the Ai family knows what you are thinking. Now, the Ai family orders you to play here!" After the Empress Dowager Qi finished speaking, she left Qi Qingyu and returned to the palace with the help of the eunuch.
Chapter 38: After the Mid-Autumn Festival feast in the palace, the Queen Mother allowed Qi Qingyu to return to the palace to reunite with her family.
"Qingyu, go back and see your mother first!" Qiyinhou said to Qi Qingyu as soon as he arrived at the gate of Qiyinhou's house.
"Thank you, dad!" Qi Qingyi knew that she hadn't been home for a long time. According to the rules, on days like this, she should first send Mrs. Qi Yinhou back to her room before going to see her mother.
However, it is already the third watch. I am afraid that Mrs. Lan, who misses her daughter so much, must still be waiting for her daughter. If Qi Qingyi does not go back, she is afraid that she will be sleepless all night. Although Qi Yinhou, he doesn't like him very much.
Daughter, but I care about Mrs. Lan very much
"Princess, you are back!" Lian Cui, the personal maid next to Mrs. Lan, has already run out and looked at her several times.
"Sister Lian Cui, where is my mother?" Qi Qingyi saw Lian Cui waiting for her at the gate of Yinlan Garden.
"Madam is waiting for you in the room. She hasn't slept all night!" Lian Cui was also worried about Madam Lan's health.
"Really?" Qi Qingyun asked as she and Lian Cui walked into the house.
"Yes, Madam is really looking forward to your return! She has come out to greet you several times!" Lian Cui also understands how important Qi Qingyu is to Madam Lan.
Qi Qingyun quickly ran into the room and saw Mrs. Lan sitting peacefully on the couch. She shouted softly, "Mom, Qingyun is back!"
"Qingyun!" Mrs. Lan's indifferent expression changed when she saw Qi Qingyun coming back. The only person she cares about most in this world is Qi Qingyun.
"Mom, it's so late and you don't rest, are you deliberately making your daughter worried?" Qi Qingwen scolded.
"Princess..." Lian Cui has never seen Princess Qingyu speak to Mrs. Lan in such a tone. Moreover, it is really rebellious for her to do this.
"Lian Cui!" Mrs. Lan shouted softly
"Mom, Qingyu didn't mean to blame you, it's just..." Qi Qingyu also knew that her tone just now was very bad.
"Mom understands what you are thinking. You are worried about Mom's health!" Mrs. Lan also felt that her daughter was only worried about herself. She was still very heartbroken. "But Qingyu, don't worry, Mom is really fine!"
Mrs. Lan's body has always been delicate, but she is also very aware of her physical condition. "Mom will take good care of herself. Just for my Qingyu, I will also take good care of myself!"
