Chapter 159 Making things difficult
Three days later, the Queen Mother celebrated her birthday.
Xu Ruqing woke up early, and before dawn, Zhiqu pulled her out of bed and sat down in front of the dressing table. She washed, put on makeup, braided her hair, and dressed... She closed her eyes and let Zhiqu complete the entire process for herself.
Su Yichen was also ready early in the morning. The carriage stopped at the door of Yelan Pavilion, waiting for Xu Ruqing to come out.
The door opened with a "squeak" and Xu Ruqing was supported by Zhiqu and walked out.
To be honest, Su Yichen was stunned the moment he saw Xu Ruqing coming out.
Compared to her usual sober elegance, today she is dressed brightly and attractively, with a goose yellow water gauze skirt and a snow-white fox velvet shawl. Finally, a little powder can be seen on her face, and the light makeup complements her exquisite facial features. It can be said that she is
All advantages are maximized.
Su Yichen stretched out his hand and invited: "Let's go, it's getting late, we should enter the palace."
Xu Ruqing hesitated for a moment, but finally gave her hand to him and let him pull her up gently.
Chenshi, the Imperial Palace.
The birthday banquet was held in the royal garden of the palace, and there was an endless stream of people coming and going, mostly ministers and their family members working in the palace.
"If you are bored, just let the maid lead you around. I am going to meet someone and will be back soon."
"good."
This was Xu Ruqing's first time here, so she was supposed to walk around.
The palace is very large and luxurious, with red walls and green tiles, and the rich and beautiful Luo Qi... However, it is still different from the one I watched in the TV series in my previous life, that is, it is too rich and gorgeous, and its level of luxury is unmatched in TV series.
The kind that can’t be acted out!
"This is the concubine of King Wei and the legitimate daughter of Prime Minister Xu, Xu Ruqing, right?"
Hearing this, Xu Ruqing turned around and looked at the woman behind him. She looked familiar to him, but he couldn't remember when he had seen her before.
The woman is in her late twenties, but she is well-kept and looks like she is only in her early twenties. She is wearing a bright yellow Xia Pei, with a phoenix crown and red tassels on her head. In this outfit, it is not difficult to recognize her as the newly appointed queen last year. Today
The Lord of the Sixth Palace, Zhao Mingzhu and Queen Zhao.
"My wife, Xu Ruqing, pays homage to the Queen."
"Keep your head up."
Hearing this, Xu Ruqing slowly raised his head.
"Well, you are indeed stunning. No wonder I, the God of War of Dongyuan Kingdom, only favors you."
"The Queen's words are serious, and I feel ashamed."
"Hmph, there is nothing to be ashamed of. It is a fact that His Highness, Prince Wei, only has you as a woman. Why are you pretending to be noble in front of me?"
Xu Ruqing: "..."
Don't worry about whether you are pretending or not, but Queen, this is my family matter, are you too lenient?!
Xu Ruqing didn't dare to answer, so she had to say yes.
"You and I haven't seen each other for a while. Come on, follow me to the back garden."
"Queen, the prince has ordered me to wait here. If I leave, I am afraid that the prince will not find me when he comes back..."
Before Xu Ruqing finished speaking, Queen Zhao's eyes turned cold.
"What's the matter? My words are not as effective as those of His Highness King Wei? You, a concubine, dare to disobey me?"
"My wife dare not."
"Don't you dare? I think you are very brave! If you don't obey me again, don't blame me for teaching you a lesson for His Royal Highness King Wei! Come here!" Zhao Mingzhu was sure that Xu Ruqing did not dare to resist and was very aggressive towards her.
The son's commanding attitude.
Ha, who doesn’t know that Xu Ruqing is a doormat? She was like this when she was in the Prime Minister’s Mansion. After marrying the King of Wei, her temperament changed drastically because she thought she had someone to support her. It seemed that she finally had a little temper. In Zhao Mingzhu’s view, it was just a fox pretending to be a tiger.
Forget it, no matter how powerful Xu Ruqing is, she still has to wag her tail obediently under her own authority?
Xu Ruqing couldn't bear it any longer. This Empress Zhao was clearly here to cause trouble for her.
"Queen, please pay attention to your words. I am the official wife of King Wei, not a concubine. It is you, the Queen. Only after the Queen's death did you have the opportunity to rise from a concubine to the throne of the Queen. Could it be that you have been a concubine these years?
It’s been a long time, so you think others come out of dust like you?”
"What?!" Zhao Mingzhu's expression changed suddenly, and she couldn't believe what she heard.
"Xu Ruqing, do you dare to say it again?!"
"My wife is still the same even if she says it ten thousand times. The queen's ear is not weak at such a young age. She should be able to hear clearly."
"Why do you say that to me? Do you know that based on your words, I can make you die without a burial place!"
Xu Ruqing's words are true. Before she became the queen, she was just the most inconspicuous among Emperor Yan Qian's three thousand beauties. The reason why Emperor Yan Qian appointed her as his queen was just to pick on the weak, as her mother's family was not powerful.
, it’s just that we can’t restrain him!
Her rise to power was not open and aboveboard. She had been laughed at by those people countless times in the past year. Everyone said that she was not worthy of her position. Her identity had always been a thorn in her heart that she could never remove.
"If the Queen wants to execute me, you can do so. However, I have to remind you that King Wei is the same as the Emperor. He is the only king with a foreign surname except the Long family authorized by the late emperor. Even the current princes have to address me respectfully.
Auntie the Queen. The Queen is now saying that she wants to execute me. Has the Queen clearly thought about what she will bear for the consequences?"
Zhao Mingzhu was extremely angry, when did this bitch become so sharp-tongued?
"Xu Ruqing, you are so brave!"
"Come here, arrest this bitch!"
After giving the order, several imperial guards rushed up and surrounded Xu Ruqing.
"I heard that someone is going to capture the princess. It seems to be true." Su Yichen's voice sounded in time.
Zhao Mingzhu was obviously surprised: "King Wei, why are you here?"
"Of course I'm here to see what the Queen is going to do with this King's woman."
Zhao Mingzhu choked. She knew that she could not offend Su Yichen, so she had to throw dirty water on Xu Ruqing: "She was the one who provoked me first. I just gave her a few words."
"Training people also requires the use of the Imperial Guard? Does the queen think everyone is a fool? Besides, Xu Ruqing is my king's servant. Even if I want to train people, only I have the right to do so. How can you, an outsider, have the courage?"
"You!" The queen choked and was so angry that she couldn't speak.
Then his expression turned sad: "You actually contradicted me for such a woman. Have you forgotten the friendship between us? Could it be that we..."
"Queen, please respect yourself." Su Yichen interrupted her coldly.
Zhao Mingzhu stopped speaking in time, but she couldn't bear the tone in her heart: "What's so good about this woman? She likes the eldest prince, not you, and she has betrayed you. Have you forgotten all of this?"
Su Yichen narrowed his eyes.
He gathered his inner strength with both hands and lifted Zhao Mingzhu up effortlessly. Zhao Mingzhu was stuck in the air by the neck and could not move.
"boom!"
With a gentle wave of his big hand, she was thrown several feet away, her head hit the ground, and she fainted.
