Chapter 188 Entering the Palace to Express Gratitude
The next day, Jia Cong brought an imperial physician and other eunuchs to the palace to see the emperor! Another imperial physician would need to be used for a few days because of Xue Ke's mother's matter. The others were all people in the palace, so they naturally had to go back. In any case, the emperor had shown mercy on Jia She, so he also needed to enter the palace to thank him.
When they were outside the palace gate, Jia Cong was about to ask the Dragon Guard to pass on the message, but Xia Zhong said, "Your Majesty, there is no need to do that. I will go in directly to see Grandpa Gan and let Grandpa Gan pass the message!"
"Okay!"
Afterwards, Xia Zhong took the badge and went straight into the palace. Not long after, Xia Shouzhong came out to greet him personally.
"Oh, nice to meet you, Lord Marquis. Are you feeling better now?" Xia Shouzhong asked intimately.
"His Majesty and His Majesty are so happy to know that you are entering the palace. They asked me to take you in directly!"
"Thank you, Steward Xia! The imperial physician is very skilled, and with the good medicine given by the Emperor and Your Majesty, I will naturally recover a long time ago. I should have come to the palace to express my gratitude a long time ago, but I have been busy with family affairs recently, so I have delayed coming until now." As he spoke, Jia Cong bowed.
Xia Shouzhong quickly dodged and said, "Your Majesty is the Marquis of Champion, personally conferred by His Majesty. I am not a servant of this rank. How can you, Your Majesty, bow to me, a servant?"
"My Lord, you are well now. Your Majesty and the Queen have been thinking about you a lot these days!"
As they were talking, the group arrived at the back hall of the Dragon Head Palace!
What surprised Jia Cong was that the Queen Mother was actually waiting outside the back hall.
"Your servant Jia Cong pays homage to Her Majesty the Queen!" Jia Cong took two steps forward and saluted hurriedly.
"How can you be so polite, kid? Yuanchun, hurry up and help him up! Are your injuries healed? Are you still hurt?"
Yuanchun stepped forward to help Jia Cong up. Jia Cong smiled at Yuanchun and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I have recovered a long time ago. It is just because of some trivial matters at home that I came to the palace to thank you."
"Okay, that's good!" The queen nodded happily, "Come on, follow me in, let's talk. Your Majesty is still dealing with his military and national affairs, let's ignore him."
As the queen entered the hall, Queen Shang took Jia Cong's hand and sat with her, and then they started chatting! Of course, most of the time it was the queen who asked questions and Jia Cong who answered.
"By the way, why didn't you bring the girl from the Xue family that you mentioned before to me?" the queen asked with a gossipy look on her face.
Jia Cong smiled awkwardly, "I just admire you , but now without a matchmaker, how can I enter the palace easily?"
"What's the inconvenience? At most, I can issue an imperial decree. Do you think the Xue family dares to disobey?"
Jia Cong scratched his head, not knowing what to say. A queen was so gossipy about her own marriage. Was this something a queen should do?
"Also, you little kid, have you been naughty again? Yesterday, His Majesty said that you beat up a guy called Sun Shaozu, is that true? You are so ignorant of your own limits."
Jia Cong's expression froze slightly, and he quickly said, "It was Sun Shaozu who humiliated my sister, so I was furious and taught him a lesson!"
"Who asked you this?" The Queen rubbed his head. "You are injured, why do you want to fight? Didn't His Majesty give you personal guards?"
Yuanchun, who was standing by, was worried at first and almost rolled her eyes after hearing what the Queen said. It turned out that His Majesty and the Queen's love for their younger brother had not diminished!
"Next time you encounter something like this, just let your personal guards fight. You can't do it yourself! Even if you are a general, you are still a child?" The queen said seriously.
For a mother, I am afraid that even after thirty years, her child will still be a child.
Jia Cong smiled awkwardly, "Your Majesty, I didn't do anything, I just asked the guards to beat you!"
"Okay, that's good! I'll ask His Majesty to assign you some more guards. If anyone dares to bully you, just fight them back! If you can't beat them, come to the palace and find me. I'll take charge of the situation and won't let you be bullied."
It is said that a loving mother often spoils her child, but for the queen, her own child is the legitimate son, so who in the world can bully him?
As for bullying others, it is definitely the other party's fault. I am such a well-behaved child. Would I bully others unless I was forced into a desperate situation?
This chat lasted for nearly half a day. At noon, the Queen directly ordered the meal and the Emperor also rushed over to eat with them!
However, compared to the empress, although Emperor Longxing was equally happy about Jia Cong's arrival, he still had the airs of an emperor. He did say a few words to Jia Cong about Jia She's affairs.
Just say that the father and son had brought this upon themselves, and that it had nothing to do with anyone else, so he didn't need to think too much about it! Moreover, since he was well again, he would be allowed to go on duty in a few days, in early June.
After finishing the meal, Emperor Longxing left immediately. Jia Cong also wanted to say goodbye, but was stopped by the Queen and continued talking.
It was not until after dinner that the Queen had Jia Cong sent out of the palace! Moreover, the people that Jia Cong originally wanted to return returned directly with their original group.
According to the Queen, there was no shortage of these people in the palace, so let them serve Jia Cong first.
In fact, the queen was thinking that the other princes not only lived in palaces, but also had groups of eunuchs and maids serving them. She was just giving her son a few servants. What was the big deal?
It would be a lie to say that the affair between Jia She and Jia Lian had no impact on the Jia family, but it is not certain that it had much of an impact! Jia She had been in the East Courtyard before and rarely showed up, so it was Jia Lian who took care of things outside, so it was a little inconvenient.
Wang Xifeng was not in a hurry to return to the West Mansion. Even though the old lady had sent someone to pick her up once, she still refused.
In other words, Wang Xifeng is very confused now and has no idea with what identity she should return!
Before, she was the granddaughter-in-law of the eldest son of the family, and everything she did was legitimate. But now with the divorce letter, even if it was not announced to the outside world, she still lost this qualification .
Therefore, she stayed in Keqing's courtyard. Although she seemed to be laughing and talking happily on the surface, few people knew her inner torment! Only when Jia Cong came, the smile on her face could show a little bit of truth.
Three or five days passed in a flash, and just after noon on this day, Lu Feng came to invite! Today is the wedding day of Xiao Liuzi from the back street!
Jia Cong did not delay. He asked Qingwen to prepare the silver and take some cloth. Then he called Xiao Que'er and Xiangling and headed towards the back street.
Xiao Liuzi only had his old mother at home, but most of the other soldiers and their families also came to help, so the courtyard was bustling with activity. Jia Cong's arrival made everyone happy.
"Greetings, my Lord!"
Jia Cong laughed loudly, "Hurry up, we are all family, and Xiao Liuzi is the protagonist today. Our groom must be ready."
