Traveling through the Legend of Zhen Huan: My Queen, please love me!
Chapter 81 Full Moon Banquet
【Yuqing Palace】
Wuya Chengbi looked at the crown prince below with a sad face.
He sighed repeatedly and coughed for a while.
To show her filial piety, Concubine Qi hurriedly asked, "The Empress Dowager is feeling unwell. I have a good prescription for coughs."
Wuya Chengbi shook her head at Yinzhen and said, "I'm here, but I just coughed a few times and someone showed concern. I wonder how my old 14 is doing?"
Yinzhen's face was as gloomy as water. He did not answer directly, but pointed casually at Nian Gengyao who was drinking alone.
"General Nian, what do you think of this sunset?"
The concubines sitting on the left side turned their heads frequently, and Dongli lifted the screen.
Liu Hua leaned sideways and took a deep look. The sky with rising clouds looked like it was dripped with black ink, revealing a hint of black.
The other half is orange and green, like an unfolded ancient painting from the Song Dynasty.
Nian Gengyao complimented Yinzhen, "Your Majesty, these clouds are truly beautiful. Furthermore, it's winter, and yet there's something so special about them.
The gods must have known the emperor's noble character, so they sent down this strange phenomenon today.
Last year, Nian Gengyao always spoke in a domineering and overbearing manner, but today he really gave face to Yinzhen.
However, he himself did not guess that this phrase "high moral character" gave Yinzhen an excuse.
"Empress Mother, look, the heavens are praising me, not my brothers!
Why do you disregard the mother-son relationship and plead for mercy for a prisoner?"
Liu Hua looked at Caixia and thought she was indeed good, but in his heart he felt that Yinzhen was too good at seizing opportunities.
Of course, as the ultimate winner of the battle for the throne among the nine princes, he would have been imprisoned long ago if he had not seized the opportunity.
Liu Hua raised his eyes and looked at Wu Ya Chengbi's lost face, feeling a little regretful.
However, she then thought to herself, "Why should I feel sorry? She is now the Queen Mother, holding the power of life and death."
Liu Hua often reminded himself: "Never feel pity for Yinzhen. After all, he has the power and can kill anyone who feels pity for him."
Nian Gengyao, who had just returned from the southwest, was wearing a robe with a Qilin pattern and a ruby top bead on his head.
He immediately knelt down and hastily clarified: "Your Majesty, the late emperor's 14th son has long been imprisoned in the clan residence. It was Your Majesty's mercy that spared these traitors. Now, who in the court dares not to prove his innocence?"
Liu Hua raised the back of his hand to block the strong light from the struggling sun that was about to set in the sky.
He was filled with doubt and confusion, "Didn't Nian Gengyao have an affair with Prince Dun? And now he's actually speaking in favor of Old 14."
He was so humble. Did Nian Shilan really hear what he said and then relay it to Nian Gengyao?
still……"
Liu Hua's eyes stopped at Nian Shishao, who was wearing a light blue Manchu dress.
Nian Shishao was talking to a lady next to him, who seemed to be Nian Gengyao's wife.
It seemed that there was nothing wrong, but Liu Hua knew very well that Nian Shishao's personality was similar to Hua Fei's, and she would not like this light blue dress. The jewelry on her head was also extremely simple, mostly silver.
Yinzhen on the stage looked at Nian Gengyao below, with a gentle smile on his face, and "praised" him: "Some people say that General Nian's wife and sister are giving out porridge in the capital.
They fed the people porridge for more than half a month, distributed cotton clothes, and even treated the sick. In just over 20 days, they spent more than taels of silver.
Zhen Huan's father, Zhen Yuandao, was demoted to the first rank because Huanbi was the daughter of a criminal.
His current official position is only the fifth rank, which is not as good as Liu Hua's brother Liu Wentao's fifth rank as the Ministry of Revenue Langzhong.
But he was able to go to the palace today. The key point was that this was not a court meeting, but a banquet for Yinzhen to show off that he could also have a son.
Most of the people who came were ladies from royal families, and most of the foreign officials who took action were relatives of concubines.
But Zhen Huan had already been imprisoned, so how could Zhen Yuandao attend? Moreover, he was sitting in the first two rows, even though he was in the last two rows.
Zhen Yuandao saluted respectfully towards Yinzhen, and then said, "General Nian's actions are ostensibly for the benefit of the people, but how did General Nian end up with hundreds of thousands of taels of silver? Was it a reward from the Emperor?"
Nian Shilan, who was the first on the left, stood up hastily and explained to Yinzhen in a trembling voice, "Brother, there is absolutely no corruption or bribery, Your Majesty!"
Zhen Yuandao snorted coldly, staring directly at Nian Gengyao and saying, "I have never mentioned corruption or bribery. Concubine Nian, you are confessing yourself."
Yinzhen thought that Nian Gengyao would struggle and say that he had a deep affection for the old times, but he did not expect that Nian Gengyao would directly admit his mistake and take off his hat with a ruby top bead.
He said in a deep voice: "I know I have made mistakes, so I have spent all my wealth. I hope that the emperor will see that I have made military achievements. Even if there are no merits, I have worked hard.
Treat my family and the Empress Dowager...Nian Guifei well."
Yinzhen was playing with the jade-inlaid tungsten gold cup, and his eyes fell on the fifth prince Hongzhou who was held by Zhuxi.
"Today is a good day for my Fifth Prince to be one month old. He was born very healthy, and Concubine Qian has made great contributions."
Liu Hua quickly got up, the pain in her lower body caused by childbirth still persisted.
Even though Dongli supported him carefully and put four or five cushions under his buttocks, his legs were still numb.
"I dare not take credit for it, the Emperor has always treated me well.
This is what I, a concubine, should do."
Yinzhen smiled and nodded, and asked Dongli to hold Liu Hua steady, after Liu Hua slowly sat down.
She turned the cup towards Nian Gengyao and said with a smile, "I am the common ruler of the world. A concubine has the duties due to a concubine, and a subject has the duties due to a subject.
The achievements some people have made are just what they should do as a subject.
If he becomes proud because of his achievements and makes mistakes because of his achievements, then that is his fault.
After saying that, he took two sips of the Yuquan wine in the glass, then handed the glass to Su Peisheng.
He ordered in a gentle voice, "What are you still standing there for? General Nian is a meritorious official of the Qing Dynasty.
After kneeling for so long, no one helped him up.
Yinzhen winked at Su Peisheng and asked him to give the remaining wine to Nian Gengyao.
He stood up himself, strode in front of Nian Shilan, held her hands tightly, and helped her to the chair.
Nian Shishao, who was sitting at the bottom, breathed a sigh of relief. She thought to herself, "Even if the emperor knew that some of his money had been transferred, he probably wouldn't get too angry.
After all, my brother neither rebelled nor admitted his mistakes.
In this world, it's already very good that my brother can help the common people."
Liu Hua watched as Nian Gengyao's originally swollen cheeks gradually faded, and Nian Shishao also straightened up and stopped talking to the lady next to him.
I also understood in my heart: "This matter is over.
But will Zhen Huan let Nian Shilan go? "
The most important thing is, is this fair to Nian Shilan?
Yinzhen forgave her brother's past and showed favor to her again.
Could it be possible to erase the truth that Yinzhen had given her the Huan Yi Xiang? Could it be possible to erase the truth that Yinzhen had instigated a conflict between her and Shen Meizhuang?
Nian Shilan has a strong temper, but she truly loves Yinzhen.
Shen Meizhuang has lofty ambitions and has always had a bottom line. She no longer loves Yinzhen.
Liu Hua was very sure that Shen Meizhuang would not let Nian Shilan go easily.
Looking at Nian Shilan, who was cute and lively and flirting with Yinzhen behind him, Liu Hua turned his head away, unable to bear to look any longer.
But what caught my eye was the setting sun that had already slid down the mountain, and the red glow was about to disappear.
The most beautiful things in the world can disappear in a moment if you don't pay attention to them.
And if you always care about her and pay attention to her, even if she disappears, her good appearance will remain in your heart.
Liu Hua sighed as he watched the fading blush, while An Lingrong looked at Liu Hua with determination.
