Chapter 428 Confused?wise?
Tang Ning chuckled, and said, "Let me tell you, this time we brought grandpa to Xijing. It's not easy for you to see grandpa? Or just tell the emperor to call grandpa into the palace. It's just the age of grandpa. I'm already tall and I don't know the rules. I'm afraid of getting you into trouble and making jokes when I enter the palace. I'm afraid he doesn't want to. If you go out of the palace to visit your relatives, you have been in the palace for more than ten years. This is what the emperor should do. Will not refuse."

Qiu Changsheng's eyes lit up, and he immediately made a decision: "Then go out of the palace to visit relatives, I'll go and tell the emperor, and send something to the empress by the way, just report it."

When mentioning the queen, Tangning couldn't help asking, "I just went to Kang Ning Palace and heard that the queen is ill. What's going on?"

The queen's illness is not a trivial matter. If it is not so serious, she will usually cover it up in a secret way, and will not refuse to see the married woman who enters the palace. What's more, she is not an ordinary married woman. I think she entered the palace to accompany Qiu Changsheng to give birth. At that time, Kangning Palace didn't have this attitude.

Qiu Changsheng suppressed his smile, looked outside the hall, and said in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, don't tell me, I've heard it too. The queen has been in bed since the first lunar month. The reason seems to be related to Li Chu."

"What do you mean?" Tangning's eyes widened instantly.

Qiu Changsheng said: "On the th day of the first lunar month, the emperor stayed in the Kangning Palace, and the empress took the opportunity to have a showdown with the emperor, bluntly saying that the prince is the eldest son, and has been working hard all these years, and also said that the two eldest princes and side concubines all gave birth to sons, out of reason Everyone should establish the eldest prince as the prince.

At that time, the emperor only asked if the queen was teaching him how to do things, and then he walked away. The queen chased all the way to the imperial study room, probably because she wanted to explain or didn't want to give up. Anyway, we don't know the reason. We only know that the queen knelt outside the imperial study room I'm sorry, the emperor didn't soften his heart until he knelt until dawn, and finally collapsed due to exhaustion, and was carried back to Kangning Palace.

After the imperial doctor went to see it, he said that the empress was depressed and had contracted a cold, and her illness was severe. After the emperor knew about it, he didn't go to visit.

The queen has been lingering and sick for several months. Because the queen is ill, the emperor even ordered the concubines in the harem not to go to the Kangning Palace for morning and evening sleep. Those who don't know the details think that the emperor loves the queen. Those who know the situation know that the queen is completely Was rejected by the emperor. "

Tangning was dumbfounded when she heard this, and it took her a long time to react, she was very puzzled, "I saw that the empress is an extremely smart and wise woman, otherwise she would not have been able to stand by the emperor for many years, why did she suddenly lose her usual calmness? It's not like him at all!"

Qiu Changsheng smiled wryly and said: "Actually, it's understandable. Duke Cheng'en's mansion has plummeted since the first concubine gave birth to the eldest grandson. Originally, he wanted to send someone to the first prince, but the emperor refused to agree, and the empress was helpless. She became more and more determined." The mother's family lost power,

Coupled with the anxiety of fading love, the little princes have gradually grown up. It is understandable for her to take a slant, but it is too risky. If she succeeds, everything will be worry-free, and if she does not succeed, it will be embarrassing. To evade her power, all the errands in the hands of the queen were transferred to Concubine Shu.

Originally, the emperor wanted me to take over, but I pushed it back. Firstly, I am not in good health, so I can't take care of things. Secondly, I have to take care of Hun'er, so I don't have so much energy. Of course, the most important thing is that I don't want to offend Queen, who knows what else she will do. "

Tangning didn't expect Qiu Changsheng to be so sophisticated after more than ten years in the palace.

"You have really grown up." Tangning sighed.

Qiu Changsheng chuckled, "My good sister-in-law, I'm already a mother, can I not have some snacks? Concubine Li's son was almost killed back then, and it's not easy for the child to grow up safely in the palace."

Tangning could hear a lot of deep meaning from her words, but she didn't ask more questions unless Qiu Changsheng said anything.

In the imperial study.

Ning Chengyun brought Qiu Jingming into the side room and asked him to sit down.

Seeing the familiar scene, Qiu Jingming couldn't help but smiled wryly and said, "The emperor wants you to meet several princes again?"

Ning Chengyun coughed twice in embarrassment, and covered it up: "Anyway, it's rare for you to come back, so let them have a look by the way. It's also good to test and teach you homework."

As he spoke, he remembered what the queen had done, his face suddenly sank, and he said: "The key point is to help me take a look at the eldest prince."

Qiu Jingming understood at once that he was the eldest son. If possible, the emperor still didn't want to give up, so he said, "Your majesty, in fact, not meeting each other is just a psychological comfort for you. You know who's ability best. Is it suitable?" You also understand that it is suitable for leading the way, but the First Prince's officials will take a closer look at it for you."

Ning Chengyun finally looked better, and asked again: "How long do you plan to stay in Xijing this time?"

Qiu Jingming shook his head and sighed, "I don't know yet. I have been away for many years and wanted to be with my family. This time we brought grandpa to Xijing together. Because the imperial concubine and the twelve princes are in Xijing, I think grandpa wants to stay. Retirement in Xijing, so there is still hope, maybe one day I can see my granddaughter and great-grandson.

It’s just that Aning’s family is in Lingnan, and she stays with me in Xijing, and her mother’s home is far away, so we haven’t decided how long we will stay in Xijing, but we probably have to wait until a few children get married before leaving. "

Ning Chengyun nodded slowly, and suddenly there was an emotion called envy in his eyes, "Actually, I kind of want to live this kind of life like yours. You are free, you can go anywhere in the world, you have opened your eyes and gained insight, and you have no regrets." But everyone has their own responsibilities, if I choose the world, I am doomed to lose some things, including the love of my children!"

Qiu Jingming noticed that there was something in Ning Chengyun's words, so he pretended not to understand. Fortunately, Ning Chengyun didn't say anything more, but mentioned Tangning's family, "Ding Guogong sent me a letter a while ago, the words are sincere, It is said that Daqi's shipbuilding industry has far surpassed that of many countries in the world, among which Chaozhou in the south of Lingnan is the most. I hope that I will order Tang Junsheng and them to rest and stop studying.

I know that old guy just wants to put down the pick, and is worried that Tang Junsheng will stay in Lingnan until he dies if he continues to study, and he said it so righteously!

But this reminds me that Tang Junsheng has made great contributions to Daqi's shipbuilding industry. I have never rewarded him, and it is time to reward him heavily. "

Qiu Jingming was happy for his father-in-law, and quickly got up and knelt down to thank him.

When she left the palace, she was still exuding a pleasant atmosphere. Tangning stared sideways at her, "Strange muttering? What did the emperor tell you?"

Qiu Jingming made a fool of himself, "Secret, you'll find out after a while!"

Tangning snorted, but didn't take it seriously, and turned to talking about Qiu Changsheng's visiting relatives.
