Chapter 446: Tolerance Does Not Mean Indulgence
This daughter was born to conquer her.
Concubine Duan looked at Chu Qinghuang calmly and said calmly: "I just have something to say to you."
Chu Qinghuang walked towards the palace and asked, "How have you been spending this time, the concubine? There should be nothing wrong with you."
"There are so many unhappy things. If I were to tell them in detail, I might not be able to finish them in three days and three nights." Princess Duan said coldly, "Your Majesty is busy with government affairs, so I'm afraid you don't have much time to listen to my ramblings. Something trivial.”
Chu Tianzheng followed behind, staring at Chu Qinghuang's back, his eyes full of resentment.
Chu Qinghuang hummed: "There really isn't much time."
If Fucang wasn't in the palace, she would be bored by herself and wouldn't even have time to visit Prince Xian's palace.
But what can be done?
It's the New Year's Day recently, and all the ministers have gone home for the holidays. She, the king of a country, can't be immersed in government affairs on New Year's Eve and New Year, can she?
Concubine Duan clenched her hands tightly, subconsciously wanting to make a sarcastic comment, but felt it was unnecessary.
Countless facts have proven that offending Chu Qinghuang is not good for her, not to mention there are some things she still wants to find out.
Entering the main hall of the palace, the servants were busy setting up tables and chairs. Chu Qinghuang sat down on the main seat. The palace attendants put the imperial food box on the table and took out plates of steamed dumplings that were still warm.
“There are all kinds of flavors, take whatever you want.”
Concubine Duan looked at the dazzling array of dumplings in front of her and thought of the cooks preparing them in Prince Xian's kitchen. She smiled faintly and said, "Your Majesty even brought the dumplings here personally. Prince Xian's Palace is really busy."
Chu Qinghuang didn't know whether he understood what she meant, and said in a calm tone: "I have a special status, so I have to be vigilant at all times. After all, Xiqi has just begun to get better under my governance. If I go out What an accident, the consequences would be unimaginable.”
Concubine Duan's expression froze, and then she said calmly: "Your Majesty said, it is always right to be careful."
"Is Her Majesty the Queen so afraid of death?" Chu Tianzheng sneered, "If you are so afraid of death, you should stay in the palace and don't come out. Maybe you will encounter an assassin again-"
"Tianzheng." Princess Duan shouted sternly, "Shut up!"
Chu Tianzheng gave Chu Qinghuang a cold look and shut up bitterly.
"Prince Xian, it is better to be cautious in your words and deeds." Yuan Bao frowned, "Although Her Majesty the Queen is kind, Prince Xian offended Her Majesty the Queen in front of everyone, which is the following crime. According to the rules, he will be pulled down and slapped. ”
Chu Tianzheng's expression changed, and he pointed at Yuan Bao: "You, a cheap slave, are the following criminals. Do you have the right to speak here?"
"Tianzheng!" Concubine Duan's voice increased, "Don't be so presumptuous!"
Chu Qinghuang frowned: "Today is the New Year's Day. It is not appropriate to be stained with blood. Pull it down and slap your mouth for twenty."
Concubine Duan suddenly changed her color: "Qinghuang——"
"It is extremely disrespectful to call Her Majesty the Queen by her first name. Please be careful, Princess Duan," Yuan Bao reminded.
Concubine Duan's face turned green and blue, and finally she lowered her face and said, "Tianzheng is your Majesty's brother. Your Majesty has just said that today is the New Year's Day, and please, for the sake of brother and sister, please don't be the same as him."
Chu Qinghuang took a dumpling and ate it without saying anything.
"Tianzheng." Concubine Duan turned to look at Chu Tianzheng with a tough attitude, "I will apologize to your majesty."
Chu Tianzheng glared at Chu Qinghuang fiercely, and reluctantly bent down to apologize: "It's my fault, please forgive me, Her Majesty the Queen."
Chu Qinghuang glanced at him: "King Xian probably still hasn't figured out what the superiority of kings and ministers is. I don't care about you because I am tolerant and don't want to be on the same level with you. It doesn't mean that you can go beyond provocation without restraint and know no etiquette. "
Chu Tianzheng subconsciously wanted to sneer.
"I killed a lot of people last year. This year I wanted to cultivate my moral character and become a tolerant king." Chu Qinghuang said in a cold tone, "But tolerance does not mean endless indulgence. If you dare to be presumptuous in front of me in the future, I will not forgive you." By killing you, I can demote you to a commoner and let you experience the feeling of being stepped into a pit."
Chu Tianzheng's expression froze, and he suddenly thought of Chu Tiankuo, who was still in prison.
Chu Tiankuo was imprisoned in the sky prison, and his daughter-in-law, the former Princess Xuan, became an ordinary civilian female family member after her husband lost power, and no longer enjoyed the honor and salary of the royal family.
Now she is alone with her child. Although she is still living in the palace, what kind of life she is living is probably only known to the royal family members.
