   Chapter 204 Making things difficult (2)

  Concubine Qin Xian became more uneasy the more she thought about it, and subconsciously glanced at Lu Mingyu.

  Lu Mingyu gave Qin Xianfei a cold smile.

  Empress Dowager Zhao listened and believed, and with a little provocation, she was a good knife. However, this knife is not so easy to use. It is double-edged, and it is hard to say who will hurt.

  Concubine Qin Xian's back froze, and the strings in her mind suddenly tightened.

   Empress Dowager Zhao was full of anger and said nothing. There was no sound in the main hall, a suffocating silence.

   It took about two sticks of incense.

  Emperor Yongjia, who was wearing a dragon robe, came with a long march.

   Queen Qiao was mentally prepared to be punished within these two incense sticks, but she was much calmer at this time. The first to stand up and salute to Emperor Yongjia.

  Lu Mingyu, as a daughter-in-law, would never lose his courtesy, and stood up to salute together.

Concubine Qin Xian took a step slower, and before she could finish her salute, the Queen Mother Zhao said angrily: "The emperor has come to judge the Aijia. What's the point of doing this, the Queen Mother of Aijia. My daughter-in-law didn't tell her In my eyes, now my grandson-in-law doesn't take Aijia seriously..."

   According to Queen Mother Zhao, she just cared about her grandson's advice, but she was contradicted by her grandson's words. Grandson's daughter-in-law kept making fun of her by filling the house with the successor.

Empress Dowager Zhao held back her anger and turned it into endless accusations: "...Aijia is so old, she has to see her granddaughter's face when she gets old. Aijia can't go on living such a miserable life. Yes. Since the emperor is here, I will give Aijia an explanation today. Otherwise, Aijia would rather move out of the palace."

  Emperor Yongjia was very unhappy when his morning court was interrupted, and was even more blocked by his mother's harassing complaint.

  The quarrel in the harem ended up in the courtroom, and even the morning court was interrupted.

   is really annoying!

  What are you going to do to fill the house? It's even more inappropriate to say such words in public!

  Emperor Yongjia frowned slightly, his eyes swept across the faces of everyone with different expressions, and finally landed on Queen Qiao's face: "Queen, what's going on?"

   As a father-in-law, it is inconvenient to directly accuse your daughter-in-law. Even if you want to blame, you have to ask Queen Qiao.

   Queen Qiao did not explain, she just bowed her head and admitted her mistake: "It's all the fault of the concubine, please punish the emperor!"

Yes! As long as the mother-in-law is angry, it must be the daughter-in-law's fault.

   is wrong, it's all your fault.

   Filial piety is greater than heaven, and a son cannot always be happy. When you come back with a daughter-in-law, of course, you have to honor your mother on your behalf. My mother is older and more confused, can't she be coaxed?

   This is probably the common perception and thought of all men in the world.

  Emperor Yongjia was also not exempt.

   Queen Qiao simply bowed her head to admit her mistake, making Emperor Yongjia less angry. Out of the corner of Emperor Yongjia's eyes, his daughter-in-law Lu Mingyu passed by.

  Lu Mingyu is pregnant, so she should keep calm and raise her baby. Still don't punish. Just punish Queen Qiao once and make Queen Mother Zhao feel bad about it, that's all.

  …

  What Emperor Yongjia was thinking was almost written on his face.

  Lu Mingyu was not glad that he was about to escape.

   Queen Qiao admitted that she was wrong, and Emperor Yongjia naturally thought it was Queen Qiao's fault. These scenes are very similar to the pictures in memory. Almost instantly, her anger aroused.

   "Father, please say a few words to your daughter-in-law." Lu Mingyu suddenly opened his mouth.

  Emperor Yongjia was noncommittal, and his expression was obviously not very good.

   Queen Qiao was shocked and tried to stop Lu Mingyu's words: "Lu, there is no room for you to speak on such occasions. You..."

   "Let her speak!" Emperor Yongjia opened his mouth in a deep voice: "I also want to hear what she has to say."

   Empress Dowager Zhao's anger was swept away, replaced by the joy of being backed by her son. Buu glanced at Lu Mingyu contemptuously.

  Concubine Qin Xian was also secretly relieved.

  Lu Mingyu's mouth attracted all the anger of Emperor Yongjia. It seems that the person who made the punching bag today will never be her.

   This thought of schadenfreude has not been finished, and Lu Mingyu's voice has already sounded: "The daughter-in-law is pregnant, I haven't announced it, only the father and mother know about it. The daughter-in-law is very strange, why does the royal grandmother guess that I am pregnant?"

  Concubine Qin Xian: "..."

  Emperor Yongjia's cold eyes swept over.

  Concubine Qin Xian's knees softened and she almost knelt down.

Lu Mingyu has continued: "The grandmother has a kind heart and is most sympathetic to the younger generation. Even if she knew that I was happy, she would not rush me into the palace. But today, the grandmother not only called me into the palace, but also opened her mouth. I know that my baby must be a boy.”

   "The mother is afraid that her daughter-in-law will feel unstable and the fetal qi will move, so it is also a happy event that the flowers will bloom first and then bear fruit."

"The imperial grandmother said that Concubine Xian, Concubine Xian and Concubine Su were both born sons. She disliked her mother's belly and it was useless. Her daughter-in-law couldn't bear to see her mother embarrassed. Such words are unintentional words, and there is indeed something wrong with them.”

   "My daughter-in-law spoke carelessly, so it's right to apologize to the grandmother. What my daughter-in-law is not very angry about is that someone deliberately provoked in the ear of the grandmother. It was originally a happy event, but it has become like this now."

  Emperor Yongjia looked at Concubine Qin Xian with more and more gloomy eyes.

  Concubine Qin Xian was so anxious that cold sweat broke out on her forehead: "Your Majesty, rest your anger. Mrs. Lu is disobedient and disrespectful to her elders. She even slapped her face and pushed this matter onto her concubine..."

Emperor Yongjia sneered: "Isn't what Mrs. Lu said wrong? If it wasn't for your murmuring in your mother's ear, how could the queen suddenly summon Mrs. Lu into the palace? Mrs. Lu is pregnant, this is a happy event in the palace. You will only reward the Lu family generously, how can you start a war of words for no reason?"

   Empress Dowager Zhao is definitely not wrong.

   Queen Joe is innocent.

  Lu Mingyu is pregnant, it must be right.

   The wrong person is only Concubine Qin Xian.

Emperor Yongjia was so angry that Concubine Qin Xian couldn't sit still, and immediately knelt down with red eyes: "This concubine is really wronged. The emperor didn't ask the truth, he blamed the concubine, and the concubine wanted to take out her heart and let the emperor take a look. ."

  Emperor Yongjia sneered again: "What you said and did, you know best in your heart."

  Lu Mingyu groaned in his heart.

  Emperor Yongjia is a generation of Mingjun. But there is a common problem with all men. The inner house caught fire, and I neither wanted nor wanted to get to the bottom of it. I just want to quickly destroy the fire and restore peace.

  The source of today's disputes is indeed Concubine Qin Xian, who is careful and calculating, and loves to blow the wind. Emperor Yongjia was full of anger, and it was strange that he didn't go to her.

Empress Dowager Zhao didn't expect things to take a turn for the worse, so she went to Concubine Qin Xian, and glared at Lu Mingyu in shock and anger: "Your Majesty, don't listen to Lu's confounding right and wrong. Today's affairs are all Aijia's own idea, It has nothing to do with Concubine Xian."

  Lu Mingyu suddenly sighed: "Concubine Xian is at fault, you can't hurt the jade bottle by hitting a mouse. The emperor should punish his daughter-in-law!"
