Chapter 177 The Empress(1/2)
Queen Han said this sentence almost at the top of her lungs. Bayi �
Sure enough, she came for Xuan'er, and seemed to have no scruples, and wanted to force Xuan'er. Ji Xiaotang hugged Xuan'er tighter and looked at Queen Han.
In addition to two little palace maids who served her intimately, Empress Han also brought four thick and strong nannies. You can tell from her appearance that she should not be a good person. Empress Han is prepared.
Ji Xiaotang looked around him and there were only Mama Cheng and Hutie. They had to protect Xuan'er from being robbed or injured.
However, Ji Xiaotang was not overly nervous.
She was confident in herself, and that was in the Ganqing Palace, and there were also subordinates of Emperor Longqing and Emperor Longqing.
Ji Xiaotang believed that Emperor Longqing would not let Empress Han do whatever he wanted. Although Empress Han was always hysterical, she had no lethality.
And the fact is just as Ji Xiaotang expected. The four old nannies were about to listen to Empress Han and came forward to grab Xuan'er. Emperor Longqing was already in trouble.
"Who dares to be arrogant in front of me? Do you want your life? Do you want your family's life?" Emperor Longqing should have been furious. He shouted these two sentences and coughed violently. "Who dares to move around, drag it down immediately!"
Even though this last sentence is a bit weak in the sound of coughing, it is still powerful.
Queen Han just hurriedly gathered these people. When Emperor Longqing became popular, they were all scared and stood there hesitated.
"Come on, take them all for me." Emperor Longqing ordered again.
A guard came in outside and took several old nannies down.
Although Emperor Longqing was a puppet, he still had the majesty of an emperor in front of Empress Han. Speaking of which, Empress Han dominated the government and was in charge of the harem for so many years, Empress Han, as her niece, had never persuaded her.
They are the elders and nephews of their relatives, but their temperaments are very different.
Emperor Longqing is now decisive in his killing, and in just a moment, he dealt with the matter. Seeing the person he brought was dragged away by the guards, Empress Han was at a loss at first, and then shed tears.
Empress Han's cry seemed to extinguish most of Emperor Longqing's anger.
Emperor Longqing did not speak for a moment. However, Empress Han seemed to be full of grievance and cried to Emperor Longqing: "Why are you allowed to see Xuan'er, but I will not be allowed to get close to Xuan'er? What are you afraid of? I am afraid that I will harm Xuan'er? Don't you know my heart!"
Emperor Longqing's eyebrows were filled with pain and impatience.
"What are you making trouble? You don't look in the mirror and look at it. What are you now? Where is the dignity of the queen? Is it like you who is like this?"
"I'm willing to make trouble? Am I willing to be like this now? Your Majesty tells you, why am I like this today!"
Emperor Longqing and Empress Han are going to quarrel like this.
It was extremely embarrassing to watch a couple quarrel on the spot. When one of the couple is an emperor and the other is a queen, it is not just an embarrassment.
Xuan'er had long since widened her eyes. The little guy was scared at first. After all, he had never seen such a hysterical woman. Then now, he has become less afraid, but he is even more curious.
Xuan'er has never seen anyone quarrel.
Not to mention that the people who served him would not quarrel in front of him, even Qin Zhen and Ji Xiaotang were very careful. Moreover, the couple had almost never blushed, so they would not give Xuan'er a chance to see the quarrel.
Ji Xiaotang was very uncomfortable. Emperor Longqing and Empress Han quarreled, and it seemed that they had to make up old accounts. She and Xuan'er shouldn't stay here anymore.
"Xiaotang." Emperor Longqing was more able to control his emotions. He temporarily let go of Queen Han, turned his head and said to Ji Xiaotang gently, "You take Xuan'er and leave first."
"Yes." Ji Xiaotang was reluctant to say this. He quickly responded to yes, then saluted Emperor Longqing, and walked out of the hall with Xuan'er in his arms.
Walking out of the hall, her ears echoed in her ears that Queen Han said.
"Your Majesty, are you just hating me so much because I can't give you children? Your Majesty. Others don't know, you know, will you blame me?!"
Ji Xiaotang did not look back at Empress Han, but she could feel that Empress Han's words contained blood and tears.
Ji Xiaotang came out of the Ganqing Palace and did not go to the Cining Palace, so he left the Forbidden Palace directly.
When I arrived outside the Forbidden Palace, I saw Qin Zhen coming hurriedly on a horse.
It turned out that Qin Zhen was beaten by Empress Dowager Han to handle the job. Although Ji Xiaotang assured her that it was okay, he also knew in his heart that today, both Xuan'er and Ji Xiaotang were very safe.
But he was still worried and speeded up the errands, so he hurried over to pick up Ji Xiaotang.
When the couple met, they didn't say much. After exchanging glances, they decided to go back to Prince An's mansion immediately.
Qin Zhen took Xuan'er over and hugged her.
No matter what happened or nothing happened, Ji Xiaotang and Xuan'er and his son were safe, and this is the most important thing.
When they returned to Prince An's mansion, they sat in the upper room of Xichun Hall. Under the service of Madam Cheng and others, Ji Xiaotang took off his big clothes and changed into a comfortable loose robe at home. He also took off his head with big makeup. He only put his head loosely behind his head, inserted a bead-inlaid with green beads and sat on the kang.
Qin Zhen was sitting on the kang, taking Xuan'er to play, while asking about Xuan'er entering the palace.
Xuan'er was telling Qin Zhen that he had met Uncle Ayou in the palace.
Qin Zhen raised his head and looked at Ji Xiaotang and smiled.
"...From out of the Empress Dowager's harem to the Ganqing Palace, the Empress Dowager arranged for me to lead the way and met Ayou in the Imperial Garden." Ji Xiaotang told Qin Zhen about the meeting of Qi Younian.
Xuan'er also followed and said, "Uncle Ayou."
Qin Zhen lowered his head and looked at his son with a smile.
"Xuan'er likes Uncle Ayou very much."
"Yeah, I like it." Xuan'er held her two little feet and nodded with a smile.
"Who arranged it?" Qin Zhen raised his head and asked Ji Xiaotang.
"Do you still need to ask?" Ji Xiaotang said lightly.
Qin Zhen nodded.
"You should coax Xuan'er. Today, Xuan'er is afraid that he will be scared by His Majesty." Ji Xiaotang said.
"What's wrong?" Qin Zhen was a little nervous, although neither Ji Xiaotang nor Xuan'er looked like he was hurt or frightened.
Ji Xiaotang said that Empress Han suddenly went to the Ganqing Palace and specially brought someone to steal Xuan'er.
"I was stopped by His Majesty, but her appearance was a bit scary."
Qin Zhen hurriedly carried Xuan'er into his arms, looked up and down carefully, and rubbed his head.
"...scary!" Xuan'er lit her little head, her face was very serious, and she was imitating Ji Xiaotang's appearance.
"Are you scared by Xuan'er?" Qin Zhen asked hurriedly.
Xuan'er nodded first, then shook her head.
"I was scared,...I'm not afraid..."
"Is this the first thing I'm scared. Then I'm not scared?" Qin Zhen tried to interpret the meaning of his son's words.
"Yeah." Xuan'er said ungratefully, "She is scary, not fierce. She has the emperor and the mother~ dear."
Qin Zhen did not understand Xuan'er's meaning this time, so he raised his eyes and asked Ji Xiaotang for help.
"Did Xuan'er say that although the queen looks scary, she is actually not a vicious person or a bad person?" Ji Xiaotang lowered her head and asked Xuan'er.
"Uh-huh."
"And there are uncle and I here, so I will protect Xuan'er, right?"
"Yes, yes." Xuan'er lit her little head and smiled.
"Your Majesty said a lot to me today..." Ji Xiaotang stopped and looked down at Xuan'er. "Is Xuan'er tired? Do you want to go to bed?"
"I'm not tired, play with my father, mom," Xuan'er said loudly with a smile.
Ji Xiaotang was speechless. Xuan'er was really in good spirits today. She went to the palace and was still not sleepy at all.
But what she wanted to say to Qin Zhen next was of great importance and did not want the ignorant Xuan'er to hear it.
"Dad and Mom~ I have something to do with you, would you please let the wet nurse and nanny accompany Xuan'er?" Ji Xiaotang discussed with Xuan'er.
Xuan'er is a child who knows how to discuss. He sat there and thought about it. Then he nodded.
"Okay, then daddy...mother~dear, I want to pick Xuan'er up."
"Of course, we are willing to accompany Xuan'er," Ji Xiaotang smiled. As he called the wet nurse and Madam Cheng forward, he asked a few more instructions before he asked the two to carry Xuan'er down.
"Xiaotang, what did Your Majesty say to you?" Qin Zhen asked Ji Xiaotang when he saw Xuan'er being taken away.
Ji Xiaotang repeated what Emperor Longqing said to her to Qin Zhen.
Qin Zhen's face gradually became stern.
Of course he understood the meaning of Emperor Longqing's words.
Emperor Longqing knew that he had not lived long ago and had been considering the issue of heirs. Unlike Empress Dowager Han hoped, he did not want to choose one between Yuer and Xuaner as the crown prince and inherit the throne.
In that case, he could have successors and Empress Dowager Han could continue to control the government, but it might not be a good thing for the Qin Dynasty's country.
Emperor Longqing hoped to choose one of his two brothers to inherit the throne.
Both Qin Lin and Qin Zhen were both talented and had great strategies, and were young and middle-aged, with a lot of foundation in the court. The country and country of Qin were now in need of such a powerful master, rather than pushing a child to the throne and continuing to be at the mercy of Empress Dowager Han.
Between Qin Lin and Qin Zhen, Emperor Longqing chose Qin Zhen.
Emperor Longqing was telling Ji Xiaotang about this today and explained the reason for this choice to her. His choice was not because he was close to Qin Zhen or alienated from Qin Lin, but because he really thought that Qin Zhen was more suitable for that position. Qin Zhen sat in that position, which was the best for the Qin Dynasty and the people in the world.
Of course, Emperor Longqing also said that the reason why he chose Qin Zhen was also because of Ji Xiaotang and Xuan'er. He did make such a choice after careful consideration.
"Your Majesty is a sensible person, and..." Although Emperor Longqing has been in a daze for so many years, he has put his heart into this major event.
Listening to Ji Xiaotang finishing all the words, Qin Zhen was speechless for a while, as if he was shocked.
