Chapter 350: The Empress Drives Back to the Palace (2)
"Your Majesty," Ban Hua interrupted the Queen Mother, and said directly, "Rong Xia is my man."
The queen was stunned, what did she mean by this.
"He is willing to listen to me because he treats me well, but I will not abuse this kindness, especially by making some demands that are not good for him," Banhua stood up from the chair, and said to the Queen Mother Xu Yifu, " He treats me well, and I want to protect him, so how can I harm his interests because of outsiders."
"I beg your forgiveness, I can't help you with this." She turned around and was about to leave, but the Queen Mother grabbed her wrist.
"Huahua, just pretend I'm begging you, I'm begging you." The Queen Mother grabbed her arm and knelt down in front of her. This woman, who had been beautiful all her life, gave up her elegance and face at this moment, just wanting to save her son's life.
"Your Majesty," Ban Hua looked at the embarrassed queen mother, and pushed her hand away cruelly, "Yu Gong, for the sake of the people in the world, I cannot agree to your request. Yu privately, I will not let my husband stay in front of me." Facing the emperor, it will cause him more trouble in the future. Even if you kneel here today, I will not agree to you."
"Are you really so cruel?" The queen mother grabbed Banhua's skirt hoarsely, "Why is your heart so cruel, why?"
Ban Hua ignored the Queen Mother's scolding, but said calmly: "Don't worry, after the enthronement ceremony, I will let His Majesty honor you as Queen Mother and let you be raised in another palace, and I won't make you suffer at all."
"There is also the prince," Ban Hua paused, "Your Majesty will not take his life, as long as he is honest, he will be prosperous and rich for the rest of his life."
The queen mother let go of Banhua's skirt weakly, convulsing from crying.
"Your Majesty, if I were you, I would definitely not make trouble at this time. If you continue to make trouble and offend His Majesty, I am afraid that even the crown prince's life will be lost."
The queen mother looked at Banhua in surprise, she didn't seem to expect that Banhua, who was always good at eating, drinking and having fun, would say such a thing.
"Your Majesty, do you know how my grandfather passed away?" Ban Hua looked down at the Empress Dowager, her eyes were bright and clear, as if she knew everything, and she seemed to be simply asking the Empress Dowager a question she didn't know.
The queen mother sat on the ground in a daze, and she didn't recover until Ban Hua went out the door.
She didn't know how her uncle died, but after His Majesty fell ill, she gradually guessed the truth. Why did Ban Hua ask like this, did she... already know?
She felt cold all over her body, Banhua... When did she know about it?
When Ban Hua returned to the side hall of the Great Moon Palace, Rong Xia in black clothes was sitting in front of the case reading some official documents, but after getting along with Rong Xia for a long time, Ban Hua could tell at a glance that he was pretending, because he was really reading books. Times are not like this.
"Huahua, you're back?" Rong Xia got up and pulled Banhua to sit next to him, and then spread out the auspicious day calculated by Qin Tianjian, "The people of Qin Tianjian said that five days later will be a good day, suitable for holding enthronement Grand ceremony. After the ceremony, they calculated three days, one after the twelfth day, one after the eighth day of the next month, and one after two months. I think the day after the twelfth day is very good, what do you think?"
Seeing that Rong Xia had made notes on these dates, Ban Hua nodded and said, "I don't understand these things, as long as you think it's appropriate."
"I'm in a hurry to make everyone in the world call you Empress Empress." Rong Xia kissed her on the tip of the nose, "Next month is too long, I can't wait."
"Wouldn't it be better for everyone in the world to call me Queen?" Ban Hua said casually, playing with the handbook written by Qin Tianjian.
Rong Xia chuckled, hugged her and sat on her knees: "Can I call you queen? The whole world calls me emperor, and you are my queen. I am under one person and above tens of thousands of people." emperor."
"Shameless," Ban Hua rubbed his cheeks and jumped off his knees, "I get a headache just looking at these things, you'd better worry about them yourself."
"Where are you going?" Rong Xia grabbed her hand.
"I'm going out of the palace to see my family," Ban Hua's eyes were shining when he mentioned his family, "I haven't seen you for almost a year, I wonder how they are doing now?"
"Don't worry, I'll send someone to protect them," Rong Xia got up, "I'll go with you."
"No," Ban Hua hurriedly pushed him back, "I know what you mean, but you are not fit to leave the palace now. You have to deal with the mess Jiang Luo left behind, not to mention that if this matter gets out, it will be us The relatives of the Ban family are monopolizing power, where can our Ban family go to reason?"
Rong Xia: ...
This was obviously his intention to honor the Ban family, but why did it change completely when it came to Huahua's mouth?
"What our family wants to be is an eminent and lazy dandy that others don't dare to offend, but we don't want to be a relative who is in charge of things and is exhausted. This kind of thing is too brain-intensive, just like my father and my brother... "Ban Hua coughed dryly, she felt that when she spoke, she should still save some face for her family, "You understand."
Rong Xia laughed when she heard the words: "Don't talk nonsense, father-in-law and brother-in-law are fine."
"Yeah, the two of them are the top dandies who lead all kinds of games in the capital," Ban Hua clicked, "Okay, that's it, you send a few more respectable followers out of the palace with me, It can be regarded as giving my mother's face."
After careful consideration, Rong Xia called Du Jiu, Wang De, and two trusted confidants, and asked them to accompany Ban Hua to the Jingting mansion. Although Banhua has not yet held the Empress Dowager Ceremony, because Rong Xia valued Banhua's attitude everywhere, the palace people in the palace were eager to please the new master, and prepared the car as quickly as possible. The number of accompanying guards and eunuchs and maids were all Arranged according to the rank of the queen of the main palace.
Ban Hua didn't object to this arrangement either. The more stable her position was at this time, the world would not dare to offend the Ban family.
Before stepping into the carriage, Banhua said, "When did my family move back to the Jingting mansion?"
"Your Majesty, last night His Majesty arranged for someone to clean up Duke Jingting's mansion, and then welcomed the Duke and Madam back to the mansion," Wang De replied with a bow, "Your Majesty, the gifts prepared by His Majesty have already been put on. You can go."
"Gift?" Ban Hua was stunned. It turned out that Rong Xia had prepared a gift. As a daughter, she only wanted to meet her family, so she forgot the accompanying gift.
"Well, let's go."
"Let's drive!"
