The emperor is hard to chase

Rong Xiao seemed to have expected Zhao Jinqing's reaction, and said leisurely: "Your Majesty, although this stone is not jade, it is considered the only one in the world. According to the local people, Fengyu is difficult to deliver, and such a big Fengyu is rare in a century. .”

Zhao Jinqing pursed his lips, and his clenched hands became tighter and tighter. His nails scratched his skin, causing a slight pain.Although Rong Xiao was smiling, his eyes were like cold knives, carrying a certain oppressive chill in this deep winter weather.

After a long time, he let go of his hand, and smiled faintly at Rong Xiao, "Ai Qing has worked hard. This phoenix jade is so precious, why don't you send it back to its original place, so that I, Da Zhao, can live forever. "

Rong Xiao didn't speak, the ministers beside him had already made suggestions, saying that auspiciousness should be sent to the palace, Zhao Jinqing calmed down, the color in his eyes couldn't understand the meaning.

Every time he heard a sentence, Zhao Jinqing could hear the meaning in it.He deeply realized that these people were flattering Dingnan Wang Rongxiao, and he, the emperor, was not seen by many people at all...

Even if it was a piece of phoenix jade, who else cared except him for the humiliation in it!

What's abominable is that Rong Xiao humiliated him in front of so many courtiers!

If he is a phoenix, who is a dragon!

Zhao Jinqing's loosened hand gradually clenched until Gao Shun said with a low eyebrow, "Your Majesty, Lord Rong is waiting for your decision."

Zhao Jinqing raised his eyes, and the man in silver armor smiled slowly at him.That smug smile was like a needle deeply inserted into Zhao Jinqing's heart.

After a long time, Zhao Jinqing turned around and said in a low voice, "Stay here."

Rong Xiao led a group of officials to bow down on the ground, and he didn't hear what he said.For him, none of these things mattered.

On the way back in the sedan chair, through the yellow curtain, Zhao Jinqing stared blankly at the sky.He heard the noise from the West Market from a distance, the voice sounded so warm and joyful, compared to the quietness of the deep palace, he didn't know what kind of happy scene it should be.

He had never hated the imperial palace and this identity so much for a moment, the desire for the future and the desire to leave quickly seized his mind.

But, can he really leave...leave that person?This kind of thing is impossible even if you think about it.

"If Your Majesty asks me, the old minister only has one word, forbearance." Back in the palace, Rong Xiao quickly sent someone to call Li Ying.

"Wang Cheng's matter, can it be regarded as Rong Xiao's blow to me?" Zhao Jinqing raised his pen, his eyes were a little dignified: "I want to implement the New Deal, so he used this to warn me that I don't have the strength yet. Is it? Mrs. Li?"

Li Ying pondered for a while, "It can't be regarded as a slap in the face, Your Majesty, maybe this is just a warning."

"Wang Cheng was young and full of vigor, so he really took a risk this time." Li Yingdao: "His court proposal was written too far, and he stepped on the painful feet of a group of veterans, but gave Prime Minister Su a leverage."

Zhao Jinqing nodded, "Teacher Li, if..." He thought for a while before saying, "If King Dingnan takes advantage of this matter, I'm afraid I won't be able to give Wang Cheng justice. You just need to understand my situation."

Li Ying smiled: "The old minister understands. If your majesty can bear it, why can't the old minister not bear it? However," he changed the subject, "Your Majesty, King Ning's return to the capital can be an opportunity to struggle."

Zhao Jinqing understood something as if he was enlightened, and there was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth: "I understand what you mean. I will care about King Ning."

Li Ying withdrew for a long time, but Zhao Jinqing was still thinking about it.However, before he had a complete idea of ​​the matter, Gao Shun yelled at the sound of an announcement outside the door: "The Empress Dowager is here."

A glimmer of haze flashed in the eyes of the young man in yellow, one thing after another happened one after another, no, the affairs in the court had not been cleared up yet, yet another forced marriage came.

Zhao Jinqing got up a little depressed, "Why is the queen mother here? You are not in good health, you should take a good rest."

The Empress Dowager Xiaoci looked at her son lovingly, "Look at your haggard look, Your Majesty, although the affairs of the country are important, you must not ignore your body!" The Empress Dowager was helped to sit on a soft chair beside her, her gorgeous face With a little pale.Touching Zhao Jinqing's head with both hands, he gently pulled off a white hair on Zhao Jinqing's head.

Infected by this warm atmosphere, the corners of Zhao Jinqing's eyes were a little moist: "Mother, are you still a servant or a child. Eunuch Gao will take good care of me."

The Empress Dowager Xiaoci said helplessly: "You, no matter how old you are, in the eyes of the queen mother, you are still exactly the same as the child back then." She paused, looking at Zhao Jinqing with a blurred look in her eyes: "The queen mother still remembers, when you and the queen said, Let the queen mother feel at ease. I told the first emperor at that time, you are a silly child. You said, you are so tired, and the queen mother sees it in your eyes, so how can you feel at ease. "

Zhao Jinqing raised his head, the Empress Dowager Xiaoci was only 40 years old, not considered old, but now the corners of her eyes were full of dense wrinkles.He has been with his mother since he was a child, and he knows best that the people in front of him cherish beauty.However, time flies, and within three years, her mother's queen has lost her former beauty.

"Mother, I won't let you worry all the time." Zhao Jinqing said slowly.

The Empress Dowager Xiaoci smiled clearly. Although the man in front of him was wearing a dragon robe, his pupils were filled with loneliness and stubbornness.She sighed slightly: "Qing'er, if you can't fight for something, let it go. Your hard work, the queen mother will see it." She stroked Zhao Jinqing's head lovingly, "Emperor, accept the queen. The queen mother The decree has been issued, and in half a month, the daughters of the aristocratic family will enter the palace. You choose a few you like, and they will spread more branches and leaves for my royal family."

Zhao Jinqing hummed, and only heard the Empress Dowager Xiaoci say slowly: "By the way, you haven't been there for a long time, right? The queen mother really doesn't like her, but you don't have to deliberately neglect her in front of me. The women in the deep palace, Always be pitiful."

A woman in the deep palace?

Zhao Jinqing nodded, but his mind was full of thoughts: that's right, Zhao Yuan returned to the capital, and he should see Concubine Lan in advance because of emotion and reason.

If he let go, maybe everything will be different...
