Chapter 155 The thundering rage of Queen Mother Jiang Nanfeng!
The next day, the sun was shining brightly:
After a simple breakfast, Xie Wanqing packed up and, accompanied by Huang Wei, went to Kunning Palace to pay her respects to Empress Dowager Jiang Nanfeng.
Jiang Nanfeng looked amiable as she stepped forward, took Xie Wanqing's hand, and asked about her well-being.
"Wanqing, last night was your wedding night. Did His Majesty visit you?"
Xie Wanqing nodded: "Well, His Majesty is leaving!"
Jiang Nanfeng pressed on, "Have you consummated your marriage yet?"
Thinking of what happened last night, Xie Wanqing couldn't help but blush. She bit her lips lightly and said "hmm" in a nasal tone.
Huang Wei, with an expression that looked like she was taking credit for it, said, "Your Majesty, His Majesty and Consort Xie consummated their marriage, and I was waiting outside the palace at the time!"
"This is Consort Xie's red wedding scarf!"
Jiang Nanfeng glanced at her out of the corner of his eye, nodded, and signaled Huang Wei to put away the white wedding veil.
Then she looked at Xie Wanqing again.
"Wanqing, what do you think of His Majesty?"
Xie Wanqing said, "His Majesty is very kind. He even taught me how to play chess!"
Jiang Nanfeng asked with interest, "Oh, playing chess?"
"It just so happens that I haven't played chess with anyone in a long time. Since I have nothing to do today, let's play a game!"
Xie Wanqing panicked and said hurriedly:
"Your Majesty, the game His Majesty and Wanqing played wasn't Go, but Five Stars Connect!"
Jiang Nanfeng looked slightly surprised: "Five planets in a row?"
Xie Wanqing hurriedly explained the rules of the Five Stars in a row briefly.
After listening to Xie Wanqing's story, Jiang Nanfeng suddenly understood.
She picked up five chess pieces and placed them in a line on the board.
"Is that so?"
Xie Wanqing nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, no matter whether it's horizontal, vertical, or diagonal, as long as there are five consecutive pieces, you win!"
Jiang Nanfeng found this interesting and said, "That sounds great. Then why don't you play a game of chess with me?"
Xie Wanqing gritted her teeth and agreed, and during the game, she gave in to the Queen Mother as much as possible.
Jiang Nanfeng was also very smart and quickly mastered the rules of the five-star conjunction.
In addition, Xie Wanqing deliberately gave in, so she felt bored after winning three games in a row.
"Wanqing, besides teaching you the Five Stars Conjunction, does His Majesty have anything else to offer?"
Xie Wanqing shook her head: "No more!"
"Xie Zhaoyi, there's more to it than that. I heard it clearly from outside the door. His Majesty even taught you how to play poker!"
At this moment, Huang Wei took over the conversation and spoke in a questioning tone.
Jiang Nanfeng first glanced at Huang Wei, then at Xie Wanqing.
She frowned slightly, looking somewhat displeased.
"Wanqing, is what Huang Wei said true?"
Xie Wanqing knelt down hurriedly and saluted, saying, "Yes, it's true!"
Seeing that Xie Wanqing was really hiding something from her, Jiang Nanfeng's expression, which had been a little unhappy, immediately turned gloomy.
"Xie Wanqing, can you tell me now what this poker game is?"
Xie Wanqing blushed and stammered, "It's just... those things that happen between men and women in the same room!"
After listening to Xie Wanqing's explanation, Jiang Nanfeng was stunned.
She turned her gaze to Huang Wei.
Use your eyes to ask, is that so?
Huang Wei tried hard to recall it, and it seemed to be true.
It wasn't long before His Majesty said he wanted to teach Xie Wanqing how to play poker.
I heard the two of them rolling around on the bed, making all kinds of erotic sounds.
Thinking of this, she nodded slightly.
Jiang Nanfeng retracted his gaze and asked with interest:
"Wanqing, do you know why this act of a man and a woman sleeping together is called playing poker?"
Xie Wanqing shook her little head like a rattle and said, "I don't know!"
Jiang Nanfeng continued to ask, "Has Your Majesty ever behaved in any other unusual way?"
Hearing this, Xie Wanqing's mind immediately emerged the look in his majesty's eyes and the tone in his voice when he called "Qing'er" when she fell asleep.
They all look very similar to the eunuch named Li Changsheng.
However, she did not tell the Queen Mother about this.
After all, these are just her feelings at the moment.
There is no solid evidence at all, so it cannot be taken seriously.
If you talk too much, you might harm Li Changsheng.
As for the bed sheets, a little bit of grease was found.
And smell the Jade Fragrance Powder that can be used to disguise oneself.
These suspicious details were also concealed by her.
Seeing that she couldn't get any more information out of him, Jiang Nanfeng stopped asking.
Just at this moment, a young eunuch came to report.
It is said that Jiang Kuanglong, the commander-in-chief of Longxiong Guard, came with his son Jiang Li to apologize!
"Huang Wei, take Xie Zhaoyi back!"
Upon hearing this, Xie Wanqing and Huang Wei bowed and retreated.
When he reached the entrance of the palace, he happened to pass by Jiang Kuanglong and Jiang Li.
Huang Wei recognized Jiang Kuanglong and quickly bowed to him.
"I've met the commander-in-chief!"
Xie Wanqing also stopped and bowed to Jiang Kuanglong.
In response, Jiang Kuanglong just nodded slightly.
He looked very arrogant, with his nose in the air, and did not take Xie Zhaoyi in front of him seriously at all.
After all, in his opinion, she was just a concubine whose status was slightly higher than that of a palace maid.
She was born in a poor family and her mother's family had no foundation at all.
It's not worth it at all for the Empress Dowager's brother, the commander-in-chief of the imperial guards, to look at him with admiration.
Jiang Li secretly glanced at Xie Wanqing and was shocked by her stunning beauty. He couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
This scene happened to be seen by Jiang Kuanglong.
Suddenly, his eyes widened with anger, and he shouted, "Evil son, hurry up and follow me to the Queen Mother to apologize!"
Jiang Li was frightened and quickly looked away, then followed his father into the hall.
But even so, he was still extremely bold. While his father was not paying attention, he secretly turned back and took a look at Xie Wanqing's graceful and elegant figure.
If I could enjoy such a stunning beauty, it would be worth it even if I died immediately!
"Jiang Kuanglong and his son Jiang Li have come to the Queen Mother to apologize for their crimes!"
Just when Jiang Li was still daydreaming, Jiang Kuanglong knelt down on the ground and shouted in a loud voice.
Jiang Lize was so frightened that he trembled and quickly knelt down.
Because there was a thorny bramble tied behind his back.
When you kneel down, the sharp thorns on the bramble will scratch your skin.
He felt so uncomfortable that he was like a maggot, twisting and turning constantly.
Queen Mother Jiang Nanfeng sat on the phoenix throne with an angry look on her face.
"Jiang Li, do you admit your guilt?"
Jiang Li no longer cared about his physical discomfort and said hurriedly:
"Queen Dowager, I acknowledge my guilt, but all of this is thanks to Li Changsheng. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have ended up with this complete annihilation!"
Jiang Nanfeng raised her eyebrows and asked, "Oh, tell me in detail, how did Li Changsheng frame you?"
Before coming, Jiang Li had already prepared a plan to file a complaint against Li Changsheng.
Immediately, he gathered his emotions and tearfully accused Li Changsheng of his countless crimes.
"Queen Dowager, you don't know that Li Changsheng, relying on the Emperor's Sword, acts recklessly and kills innocent people."
"There are tens of thousands of bandits in the capital. But he only asked Xiao Qi and me to lead a thousand people each to wipe out all those bandits..."
Jiang Nanfeng, looking disappointed, scolded, "You're the commander-in-chief of this expedition to the capital to suppress bandits. How could a eunuch like Li Changsheng deprive you of your command?"
Jiang Li said with a sad face, "Queen Dowager, Li Changsheng is the military supervisor and he also has the Emperor's Sword in his hand."
"He can execute officials below the third rank first and report to the emperor later, and he claims this is a special authorization from the emperor!"
Jiang Nanfeng couldn't help but feel a little annoyed when she heard Jiang Li's exaggerated description.
"What a great act of beheading first and reporting later, authorized by the emperor. The murder has come all the way to my Jiang family!"
Seeing that the Queen Mother's emotions had been aroused by him, Jiang Li took the opportunity to fan the flames.
"Aunt, who says it's not true? I've already brought you out, but Li Changsheng still refuses to buy it and even says some treasonous nonsense..."
Having said this, he deliberately stopped and began to whet the empress dowager's appetite.
Jiang Nanfeng was a little annoyed and scolded, "If you have something to say, just say it. If you have something to say, just fart. Why are you still keeping me in suspense in front of me?"
Jiang Li pretended to be unable to speak and hesitantly said, "Aunt, Li Changsheng said that he only has eyes for His Majesty, not the Queen Mother."
"What are you talking about? If the emperor breaks the law, he is guilty just like the common people. Not to mention me breaking the law, even if it's someone as noble as the Queen Mother, as long as she breaks the law, he will..."
Before Jiang Li could finish his words, the Queen Mother flew into a rage and shouted angrily:
"This Li Changsheng is really very courageous. He even dares to ignore me!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Kuanglong took the initiative to step forward and said:
"Empress Dowager, Li Changsheng is nothing but a lowly eunuch. How dare he speak so arrogantly and disrespect you? I will capture him now and tear him into pieces as a warning to others!"
Jiang Nanfeng waved his hand and said, "Jiang Kuanglong, you are the commander-in-chief of the Dragon Guard. How can you get angry with a mere eunuch?"
"With such a situation, how can you command the imperial guards and protect the safety of the imperial palace?"
Jiang Kuanglong was unsure of the Queen Mother's temper, so he could only retreat for the time being.
He said timidly that the Queen Mother was right in giving him a lesson.
Jiang Nanfeng said slowly, "Li Changsheng is now a favorite of His Majesty, and his favor is far beyond ordinary."
"Moreover, His Majesty also wants him to serve as a cavalry captain in the Dragon Guard!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Kuanglong and Jiang Li were both stunned.
Especially Jiang Li.
His position was cavalry captain.
"Queen Mother, this Dragon Guard is just a cavalry captain!"
"Does Your Majesty intend to appoint a special cavalry captain just for Li Changsheng?"
Jiang Nanfeng looked at Jiang Li below with a look of an idiot.
"Your Majesty has no intention of establishing a separate Cavalry Captain within the Dragon Guard!"
Jiang Li was stunned for a moment, then asked tentatively, "Queen Dowager, are you saying that Your Majesty intends to replace my Cavalry Captain with that eunuch, Li Changsheng?"
Jiang Nanfeng said, "Yes, it seems you are not that stupid yet!"
When Jiang Li saw that his guess was confirmed, he felt as if he had lost his parents.
"Empress Dowager, Li Changsheng is a eunuch, a member of the inner court. How can he come to the outer court and serve as a captain of the imperial guards? This is against the rules!"
Seeing that he was powerless and could not persuade the empress dowager, he quickly asked his father for help.
"Dad, you are the commander-in-chief of the Dragon Guards, so please say something!"
