Chapter 466
The queen immediately asked the palace servant to report the matter to the emperor immediately and told him about the cause and consequence of the matter.
At this time, the emperor received the news that the envoy of Beixia would arrive in the capital at the latest tomorrow. At this moment, such a thing happened in the harem, and no one came to report it to him.
When the emperor came to Taihe Palace, he saw the guards reaching to the opposite shore with a long tied ladder. Several guards had already climbed up the ladder.
The emperor looked cold and shouted coldly: "What are you doing! 1;148471591054062"
The Empress Dowager turned around and said, "Your Majesty, you are here just in time. Jingxian disobeyed the Imperial Imperial family's order and actually cut off the wooden bridge. The Imperial family will punish her well today."
The emperor asked: "What the hell is going on?"
Concubine Qi then explained the incident in an extravagant way.
The emperor had heard about the whole story and had a preconceived idea in his heart, so he asked the palace servants of Taihe Palace to come out and say it again.
Xiaohe and Yuyan came out with two eunuchs, and they told the truth.
The two sides said completely differently, and the emperor ordered people to take the palace maids and eunuchs from both sides for strict interrogation. When the guards were about to come up to get the people, they didn't expect that a personal palace maid next to Concubine Qi suddenly knelt down and begged for mercy in fear, and pointed the finger at Concubine Qi.
It was said that Concubine Qi insisted on pulling the fifth prince to Taihe Palace, which was to ask the fifth prince to bully Princess Jingxian's children. Concubine Qi ordered all palace servants not to come forward, which almost pushed the fifth prince into the lake. Later, Concubine Qi left the fifth prince alone in the study room, but she did not expect that the fifth prince would kowtow to the head without paying attention, Concubine Qi took her anger on Taihe Palace.
Concubine Qi didn't expect to be betrayed by the people around her for a while. She was in the harem for many years. She must have known what happened. She turned around and slapped the palace maid several times, showing her fierce nature, and said viciously: "Bitch, you are full of spitting feces, how dare you frame me! Look at me, don't tear your mouth apart! Say! Who sent you? Which bitch did you send me!"
As he said that, he grabbed the personal palace maid and beat him up.
In front of the emperor and the empress dowager, Concubine Qi always acts as gentle and virtuous, and never has the vicious spirit of today.
Besides, the person who accused Concubine Qi was the personal palace maid who had served her for a long time, so she was somewhat credible. In addition, Concubine Qi's angry reaction was now, and everyone knew that it was probably Concubine Qi who caused this incident first.
The empress dowager was upset when she saw this scene and said to the emperor: "The Ai family doesn't care. The emperor will take care of this matter and it will be a pity to the grandson of the Ai family."
Seeing that the Empress Dowager was about to leave, Concubine Qi cried again: "Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager, you must be the master of your concubines! They are all wronging me!"
Seeing that Concubine Qi was crying, Concubine Qi turned around and wanted to ask the emperor. The emperor ordered first: "Come here, take Concubine Qi back, and think about her mistakes behind closed doors and cannot leave the palace gate."
Such a punishment is already very light.
Only after Concubine Qi was taken away did the emperor look at Taihe Palace and his face was gloomy.
If the Beixia envoy had not arrived, he would not have made Shen Xian and his son so arrogant, and would have dared to cut off the wooden bridge without authorization and disrupt his harem so uneasy.
In the end, the emperor said nothing and did not deal with Shen Xian, so he left the other side without saying anything.
The emperor returned to the imperial study room and summoned He You.
The envoys from Northern Xia will arrive in Beijing tomorrow. As the Minister of Rites, He You will hand over the palace banquet to He You to handle.
The palace banquet is held in the imperial garden tomorrow night, and the other palaces next to the palace are specially used to entertain royal guests for the envoys to check in.
As soon as he ordered the words, another palace servant came to report that he had just received the news from the envoy of Yeliang, and the envoy of Liang would also arrive in the capital tomorrow.
The envoys from Beixia and Yeliang arrived on the same day.
The palace banquet tomorrow needs to be prepared immediately. The envoys of both countries will arrive at the same time, and no one will neglect them.
After He You received the order, the emperor pondered and asked his father-in-law around him: "He Fang, how long have he been imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice?"
My father-in-law replied: "It's almost two months. I've been going to the Ministry of Justice to see Lord He in accordance with the emperor's will. Seeing him thin and ill, I'm afraid he will be suffering from prison."
The emperor said: "I think this time has been long enough, so I will let him suffer a little and teach him a lesson this time."
My father-in-law said: "This time, taking advantage of the arrival of envoys from both countries, the Chinese New Year is coming again, and everyone is celebrating together. The emperor can take this opportunity to pardon to avoid Lord He's prison."
The emperor nodded and said, "Let's talk about it after tomorrow's palace banquet." He looked at He You again, "He Fang is a little bit awkward, and you have the means. With your brothers and two of you assist me together, I can feel at ease."
He You said: "It is the duty of the minister to be able to share the emperor's worries and solve problems."
"Okay, you go down and prepare. Time is tight, and you will be busy today and tomorrow."
The Ministry of Rites has always been organized by the Ministry of Rites for entertaining and banquets. Therefore, He You was mentally prepared. However, He Fang had only been in prison for two months, and the emperor could not wait to release him out.
It is a good time for envoys to enter the palace and feast tomorrow.
When He was placed in prison, He You could not move him. So if he was released, wouldn't he still be able to move him?
Not only the emperor is waiting for the right time, but He You has also been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.
At night, the emperor ordered people to rebuild the wooden bridge outside Taihe Palace overnight. Otherwise, when the envoy of Northern Xia came to the palace tomorrow, he would have thought that the palace had treated Shen Xian badly.
Even though the emperor was extremely angry, he still had to do it perfectly.
Yu Yan and Xiao He heard the noise, went outside to watch for a while, and came back excitedly and said to Shen Xian: "I saw that they were building bridges again. I asked a few more questions, saying that the envoys of Beixia and Yeliang will arrive tomorrow."
After the bridge outside was set up, someone from Shangyi Bureau brought Shen Xian a dress overnight. She must attend the envoy tomorrow, so she must dress more decently.
It was a orchid palace dress with wide collar and wide sleeves, a long skirt with narrow waist, and a golden embroidery lined with golden embroidery, which looked extremely exquisite and beautiful.
The people from Shangyi Bureau are not in a hurry to leave. Please ask Shen Xian to try on the fitting first. If there is any discomfort, you can modify it in time.
However, Shen Xian's tall and slender figure made the palace dress just right. There was no need to make any modifications.
After the Shangyi Bureau left, Yu Yan said with peace of mind while making a comeback: "The envoy from Beixia is here, and no one dares to bully the princess and calves anymore. Today, Concubine Qi is so arrogant. In the end, it is not that she has not received any cheapness, but she has been banned."
Shen Xian said lightly: "The envoy will come, and of course he will leave."
After the Northern Xia envoy left, the emperor might still let her live, but he would never let her live well.
Yu Yan suddenly felt worried and said, "What should I do? When the envoy leaves, if Concubine Qi makes trouble again, how can I deal with it?"
