Chapter 29: The State Announces Illness, Everyone Rejoices (1)
Mo Liu is a person with very delicate minds.
Although she did not know the content of the memorial and Xiao Yu did not deliberately remind him before leaving, she still made very careful arrangements.
One hour later, the memorial was successfully delivered to Qifeng Palace.
After Xiao Heng handled the palace affairs, he ordered Jimei to bring Mo Liu to her.
"Empress, the princess gave a special order early this morning to ask me to hand over this memorial to you. Please submit it to Your Majesty on your behalf." Mo Liu held the memorial in both hands and presented it.
Xiao Gui received the memorial and said in a gentle voice: "Where did Xiaojiu go again?"
"Go back to the queen, the princess went to Baiyun Temple after breakfast and said she wanted to burn incense to the eldest lady."
Xiao Heng did not continue to ask questions and gently opened the memorial.
The familiar fonts and expected content still surprised her.
Xiaojiu's action is really too strong.
She thought that she had to plan for her father to make a seat, and she had to plan for it after all. She didn't know how long it would take to achieve her goal.
Unexpectedly, my father wrote a complaint about his illness so soon, and even offered to let his eldest son inherit the title of Duke Ding.
She closed the memorial and looked up at Mo Liu: "Tell me what Xiaojiu has done in detail recently."
"Yes." Mo Liu responded, and explained in detail how Xiao Gui calculated the money of Duke Xiao and how he used the transaction of the countryside to calculate his process.
Queen Xiao bent the corners of her mouth.
It’s true that one thing is to defeat another. For people like my father, Xiaojiu’s method is simple and practical.
Have known...
She couldn't help but shake her head gently.
I never knew it in the world that everything is about the right time, place, and people.
At the beginning, she was as old as Xiaojiu, and Ah Yun was just a ten-year-old child. Even if she had the ability to force her father to give up her title, Ah Yun would not have the ability to inherit the title.
What's more, she is just an ordinary woman with no power, so how can she force her father to submit?
She held her smile: "Mo Liu, what's going on over the Duke of the State?"
"I sent someone to the outer courtyard before dawn. I heard that the Duke seemed a little uncomfortable and didn't go to the morning court today."
"Where are Xin and Xiao Chan?"
"I haven't had time to inquire."
Xiao Heng said, "Although Xiaojiu is not in the mansion, it is not easy for you, the maid, to leave for too long. Let's go back to the mansion first."
Mo Liu bowed and bowed out of the main hall.
"Temei, I'll go and ask the kitchen to prepare a few more dishes that His Majesty loves for lunch today."
Jimei said curiously: "Have your majesty said you would come here for lunch?"
"Why did you suddenly become stupid today? The Duke of the State has not attended court. He will definitely come to Qifeng Palace to ask."
She thought for a while and said, "Forget it, if His Majesty is tripped by something... You can go to the imperial study room in person later and say that there are important things in this palace to discuss."
"Yes." Send Mei Fu a blessing.
As soon as noon arrived, Emperor Tianqing was invited to Qifeng Palace.
As soon as he sat down, he asked, "Ah, what's going on with the Duke of the Kingdom?"
Xiao Gong presented him the memorial: "This was handed in by my father early in the morning. Please read it to Your Majesty."
Emperor Tianqing took over the memorial and read it quickly.
He put down the memorial and frowned and said, "During the morning court yesterday, I saw that the Duke was quite energetic, why did he suddenly become so sick?"
Xiao Heng said: "As the saying goes, illness comes like a mountain of falls, and my father is not young after all."
"Have the imperial physician been there?"
"I've been there, and I'm saying that I have no worries about my life, but I need to have a good life and rest for a while. Don't work too much."
Emperor Tianqing still attaches great importance to Duke Xiao, his father-in-law.
But this kind of attention is based on the other party's identity, not how important is Duke Xiao to him or the Great Wei.
Besides, Xiao Feng, a daughter, is not in a hurry, so he naturally won’t worry too much.
"Ah, the Duke of the State said in the memorial that he planned to let A Can Chengjue, what do you think about this?"
Xiao Heng said: "Grandfather is still here. No matter who is the Duke of the Xiao family, it will have no impact on the Wei Dynasty.
Acan has long been adults and has two sons and one daughter. You know more about what kind of person he is than a concubine.
Since my father has this intention, Your Majesty might as well fulfill him.”
Emperor Tianqing naturally knew that his wife was incompatible with Duke Xiao.
But he didn't know everything about the Xiao family back then, so it was difficult to understand how much Xiao Heng hated Duke Xiao.
In his opinion, even if Xiao Heng doesn't like Duke Xiao, he will never expect his biological father to be ill.
Anyway, if you can't write two characters Xiao in one stroke, Dingguo Duke is either her father or her younger brother, so there is little difference for him.
Moreover, Xiao Can is young and promising, and Chengjue may also bring a new trend to the court in the future.
He was also a little annoyed when facing a group of old and important officials all day long.
"Okay." He held Xiao Feng's hand: "Everything is followed by the Queen, I will draft an order later."
The weather was hot, and Xiao Feng's hand, which was originally very cool, was squeezed by his warm big hand, and he immediately felt very uncomfortable.
She sighed softly: "This year's weather is strange. I have lived for nearly thirty years and have never been so hot."
Emperor Tianqing also said: "It's indeed very hot. After the court disperses today, an old minister who has passed the Chinese New Year's Day almost fainted from the heat.
Xiaojiu has not been to the palace these days, I guess this is why."
Xiao Heng smiled and said, "If Your Majesty wants to see her, please call her into the palace."
Emperor Tianqing waved his hand: "Let her rest in the mansion. It's time to have heatstroke after a long time..."
While we were talking, a child cried out in front of the main hall.
"It's Anyang..." Xiao Gui's expression changed slightly, and he stood up and walked over.
"Mom, hug..." Anyang broke free from his wet nurse's arms and threw himself into Xiao Heng's arms.
"Is the prickly heat rising again?" She looked at the wet nurse beside her.
The wet nurse hurriedly said, "Your Highness the Princess is too young and dare not use ice in the house. The medicine provided by the Imperial Hospital can only be taken care of for half an hour. I really have no choice."
Xiao Heng gently patted his daughter in his arms: "Be good at Anyang, just let me swear for you."
Her comfort did not play much role. Anyang's little body twisted in her arms and cried even harder.
Emperor Tianqing felt very distressed: "It seems that we can't stay in the palace anymore. The empress dowager is old and the princesses are still young, so they can't help but feel hot.
Ah, why don’t we stay in the palace for a few months to avoid the summer heat?”
The palace closest to Wei Jing is about 100 miles away. If you really want to go there, you will arrive in two or three days.
The scenery on that area is beautiful, and it is a rare place to escape the summer heat.
Moreover, Emperor Tianqing had just sent someone to repair it last year, so he could live in it by cleaning it up.
Xiao Feng was moved when he heard this.
It doesn't matter, she endures it and it will pass.
But Anyang is young and chubby, and if this continues, he will definitely get sick.
