Chapter 174 The Queen Comes to the Imperial Garden
Nangong Qi fell into memories.
Under the guidance of Nangong Rui, Lin Yunzhi entered the imperial garden.
Before entering the Imperial Garden, Lin Yunzhi reminded the children that when they met the emperor, they should kneel down and bow, not talk nonsense, not look around, and answer carefully when the emperor asked questions, and to ask her the questions if they didn't know the answer.
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Kneel to the heaven, kneel to the earth, kneel to your parents, kneel to the emperor. 】
Daju: [My master is a traitor.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Old antique, you are not worthy of my kneeling. I will stand a little behind you for a while.]
Nangong Rui: This kind of courage to break through barriers is really an example I need to learn from.
Wang Taihe, another eunuch in charge of Nangong Qi, saw the prince bringing several unfamiliar people to the imperial garden, and he knew that it was Tian Xingjian's wife and the children of the Tian family who had arrived.
He first told Nangong Qi that Mrs. Tian had arrived, and then he trotted over to lead her to the emperor.
Lin Yunzhi led everyone in paying their respects.
Tian Xiaoxiao was very grateful for the ancient clothes. She squatted on the ground on tiptoe in the crowd but did not kneel down.
Nangong Qi waived the gift and had people assign seats to Lin Yunzhi and the others.
Then came the usual greetings.
Nangong Qi said that he had never heard of Tian Xingjian before, and he did not expect that no one in Mingning State could match his ability to govern counties.
In April, he met Tian Xingjian for the first time. He was so young, but he managed to clean up the mess in Shengjing by himself, which was really impressive.
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Qingchen, does Nangong Qi also know that my father has the Emperor's Order? ]
Daju: I didn’t know it before, but I know it now.
Lin Yunzhi: The melon has come back to haunt you.
Tian Xiwen: My sister told the secret.
Tian Xiwu: What would the emperor think when he knew the imperial order?
Deng Hongyu: I don’t quite understand.
Nangong Rui: Will the emperor's order speed up the old man's abdication?
Daju: [Nangong Qi doesn't know, but Nangong Rui does. The late emperor bypassed Nangong Qi and brought Nangong Rui with him to give the Emperor's Order to your father in Xijing.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [My father has been working for the prince for so many years. The prince is only one step away from taking over the power of Ming Ning Kingdom. If the court of Ming Ning Kingdom is not rectified, internal strife will break out.]
Daju: [After we leave the palace today, we will make some plans. ]
Nangong Qi: The Emperor's Order, the legendary Emperor's Order is actually in Tian Xingjian's hands? If the Emperor's Order can be used by me, I can still be the emperor for another 20 years.
The moment he learned that the Emperor's Order really existed in the world, Nangong Qi's mind became active again.
It seems that the Tian family cannot be sent back to Shengjing and must be kept in Xijing as hostages.
Didn't the Tian family's daughter just say that she had a magic medicine that could cure all diseases? If I could control them and get the magic medicine, all the women in the country would be mine.
As for those who are trying to seize the throne, they will be killed immediately.
Daju: Nangong Qi, ah Nangong Qi, you only think about being the emperor. Don’t you know that from the moment you accept the emperor’s order, you can only recognize one master?
You still want to keep people in Xijing as hostages and make Tian Xiaoxiao angry. Then you can become a eunuch!
I will find you a bunch of beautiful girls to serve you, so that you can see but not eat.
If you don't know when to quit and are blinded by greed, you will end up hurting yourself.
Nangong Rui has been paying attention to Nangong Qi's movements.
It was discovered that Nangong Qi stopped talking after hearing the emperor's order.
Did an imperial decree inspire his fighting spirit?
He didn't take his grandfather's last will seriously, and he didn't take the emperor's order, which was for selecting the future crown prince, seriously either. It turned out that human greed is endless.
So if I ascend the throne, will I become like Nangong Qi, wanting endless life and wanting to sit in that position forever without giving way to others who are more virtuous?
Tang Yin said that there have been no emperors in the West for a long time. They hold elections every three to five years and elect capable and patriotic people to be rulers.
Look at yourself. You handle many affairs in the court and can make many decisions. But as long as Nangong Qi is on the throne, most people still have to listen to him.
This system is really unreasonable.
Nangong Rui was confused.
Where will Mingning Kingdom’s future go?
Daju read Nangong Rui's thoughts and nodded continuously, and the difference between the father and son was immediately apparent.
With Nangong Rui being the emperor for twenty years, the country will definitely take a big step forward.
Tian Xiaoxiao took a sip of tea: [Qingchen, the tea in the palace is not very good.]
Daju: [That’s because they didn’t bring out any good stuff to treat you.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Was this done by Nangong Rui or Nangong Qi? ]
Daju: [You just saved Nangong Rui, he wouldn't dare to do this to you.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [I didn’t expect this Nangong Qi to be such a miser. ]
Daju: [He doesn’t seem to want to abdicate. ]
Nangong Qi: Can this person see through my thoughts?
Nangong Rui: After laying the groundwork for so long, is it still useless?
Lin Yunzhi: Does he have to give up his throne only if someone puts a knife to his neck?
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Qingchen, let’s do this.]
Gurgle.
Nangong Qi: Are you plotting to usurp the throne?
Nangong Rui: The two of them should have a good idea.
Lin Yunzhi: Nangong Rui is really tolerant, and the officials of Ming Ning Kingdom are also really tolerant. How could such an emperor who is incapable of accomplishing anything and always causes trouble stay on the throne for so many years?
Tian Xiaoxiao glanced at Nangong Qi out of the corner of her eye and smiled happily.
Since you want to be the emperor so much, I will create a nightmare for you and let you experience being killed by your elder sister, your confidant, your queen, and your court officials.
This dream tonight should be very exciting, right?
When Nangong Qi wakes up from his dream tomorrow morning, I wonder if the flashing of swords and sabers beside the bed will help him wake up?
Nangong Qi sat in the main seat and began to feel that it was inappropriate for him to summon the wives of the Tian family into the palace today. It seemed that there was someone missing who should be present.
Who is it?
Oh, yes, the Queen, he forgot to call the Queen.
Why hasn’t Huang Lianfang come back yet?
What did he just tell Huang Lianfang?
At this moment, Huang Lianfang hurried to Nangong Qi's side: "Your Majesty, Queen, the Queen is here."
As soon as Huang Lianfang finished speaking, someone outside the door said, "The Queen has arrived."
Lin Yunzhi knelt on the ground with his children and nephews.
Tian Xiaoxiao just filled in the gaps and squatted on the ground as a sign of greeting.
After the ceremony, none of the Tian family members looked up, and they all looked humble and submissive.
Daju squatted at Tian Xiaoxiao's feet.
"Your Majesty, why didn't you invite me, your concubine, to the banquet?" Zhao Fanchi said coquettishly, and Tian Xiaoxiao shuddered.
Daju cast a barrier: [Xiaoxiao, the queen is truly the best among women! ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Isn’t it? A woman like this can’t live without a man, no wonder she cheated! ]
Daju: [Why is she here? Isn't she entertaining her confidants and followers? ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [It seems someone tipped off the secret.]
Look at the eunuch who was bowing and nodding before the emperor.
Daju: [Interesting. This palace is so intricate and complicated! ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [How did this woman become the queen? Normally, the royal family should not choose a wife with such a frivolous appearance.]
Daju: [This is a long story! ]
