After "handling" the matter of the Imperial Garden, both Feng Qianyan and Qin Ruolan left one after another, but the Queen, Xu Miaoyin, stood there without moving for a long while.
Chun'er beside her has been standing quietly.
But after a while, a wind blew up in the garden, and the cool wind made people tremble a little, Chun'er said softly: "My lady, don't stand on the wind vent, so as not to catch cold."
"Well, oh."
Xu Miaoyin seemed to have recovered, nodded, turned around and walked out from the side door on the other side.
This road leads to the Royal Study Room.
However, she walked silently all the way, with a pensive expression on her face. Chun'er looked at her carefully and said, "Your Majesty, do you think there is something wrong?"
"..."
Xu Miaoyin was silent for a while, and then said: "You, do you see anything?"
"Slave? Slave is dull."
"..."
Xu Miaoyin looked back at her again, but saw Chun'er's bright eyes blinking, and she lowered her head to avoid her gaze.
Xu Miaoyin smiled: "Little Hoof."
After cursing this sentence, the expression on her face relaxed a little, and when she raised her head, the Imperial Study Room was already in front of her.
She walked in.
As soon as you walk into the imperial study room, you can feel the dull atmosphere inside.
These days, this kind of dullness has become the norm here. Zhu Feng almost eats and sleeps in the imperial study room, and rarely even returns to his own bedroom. Now when he walks in, he is sitting behind the table, with one hand on his back. On the teacup, I don't know whether I just drank tea or was about to drink tea, but my eyes were fixed on the memorial on the other side.
It can be seen that the hand here is constantly moving, almost dragging the teacup off the edge of the table.
At this time, a pair of slender soft clothes protected the teacup.
Zhu Feng looked back, but saw Xu Miaoyin standing by his side, holding the teacup with both hands, and could feel that her hands were slightly cold.
"Queen, when are you coming?"
"The concubine just came in, but the emperor was so engrossed in reading the memorial that he didn't even hear the concubine's footsteps."
"Um."
Zhu Feng nodded and closed the memorial just as Xu Miaoyin put the teacup back on the table.
The two looked at each other.
Zhu Feng said: "The queen's hands are a bit cold, where did they come from?"
"Just came from the Imperial Garden."
"oh."
Zhu Feng originally only asked a question and didn't intend to ask more, but Xu Miaoyin continued: "I was just passing by, but I met Concubine Ning and Mrs. Qin, and a little incident happened, and I only came after I took care of it. "
"Oh?" Zhu Feng frowned slightly: "What's going on?"
Xu Miaoyin told him everything that happened before.
Zhu Feng was silent for a while, and said, "What does the queen think?"
"..."
Xu Miaoyin didn't expect him to react immediately, but seeing that he didn't even have a look of joy or anger on his face, she hesitated for a while, and after thinking for a while, she said softly: "The concubine just explained these things to Concubine Ning. Don't go out and walk around, it's been almost five months, and her belly has grown a lot."
"Yeah?"
"The emperor has been busy with state affairs recently, and he didn't visit the harem."
"Um… "
Zhu Feng didn't seem to want to talk about this topic, so he just asked, "Then—Ms. Qin, how did you deal with it?"
Xu Miaoyin said cautiously: "Although Mrs. Qin said she didn't do it on purpose, after all, she almost caused Concubine Ning to stumble and fall. If she really fell, I'm afraid she will be in trouble now. So the concubine—a small punishment and a big commandment, let me She will go back to Yanxi Palace to face the wall, don't come out for now."
Zhu Feng listened with a complicated expression, his eyes flickered, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
After a while, he nodded slightly: "That's fine."
After finishing speaking, Xu Miaoyin saw that Zhu Feng fell silent, as if she didn't intend to talk about it any more. Of course, she couldn't say anything, so she helped him sort out the books on the edge of the table, and found that they were placed on the top of the table. What I found was a "Book of Han", which seemed to have been read countless times, and the corners of the pages were slightly warped.
Xu Miaoyin said: "The emperor is reading "Han Shu" recently?"
"Well, I have nothing to do, just look through it."
"..."
Xu Miaoyin knew that of course he would not be idle and looking through it. For a person like Zhu Feng who has spent half his life on horseback, the most touching thing about reading Han Shu is the story of Emperor Wu's beating the Xiongnu. .
When he was still a young King Yan, he liked this period of history very much, and he regarded General Wei Huo Er as his goal. After the two got married, Xu Miaoyin was the daughter of the general's family, and the two often talked about this long history. history.
Zhu Feng sighed, and said: "This time I read the book, and found that besides Wei Huo, an amazing and talented general, there is another person who made great contributions to Emperor Wu's beating of the Xiongnu, but there is no word in the book."
"Oh? Who is it?"
"Queen Wei."
"Queen Wei?"
"That's right. During the more than ten years when Emperor Wu went all out to attack the Huns, Emperor Wu's harem was peaceful, and there was almost nothing to distract him."
"..."
"It's all thanks to Empress Wei, who allowed Emperor Wu to concentrate on dealing with the Xiongnu."
Hearing these words, Xu Miaoyin's heart skipped a beat, and she turned to look at Zhu Feng.
Seeing Zhu Feng's eyes flickering, he also looked at her and said, "If the queen can calm down my harem like Queen Wei, I will definitely not treat you like Emperor Wu did to Queen Wei."
"..."
Xu Miaoyin was silent for a while, forced a smile, and said: "The emperor said so, but I am a little at a loss. It is the job of the concubine to stabilize the harem."
"It's not easy to do the job well."
"..."
"I knew that He Yi wished that one person could be divided into two to work, but there were still many people in the previous court who ignored their duties and kept their eyes on my harem. With my salary, they came to manage the harem." I really don't want to stay with such a person."
"Concubine, I understand."
These few words made Xu Miaoyin break out in a cold sweat.
It is not clear whether Zhu Feng is reminding her or hinting at her, but at least, these days, he has been doing a lot on the border, and there is also a mysterious person who cannot be seen coveting the court in the dark. Don't be too distracted to come to the harem.
A rare smile appeared on Zhu Feng's face, and he nodded to her.
Xu Miaoyin's back was covered in cold sweat, and even her clothes were soaked. She said softly, "Your Majesty, it's time for my concubine to go back."
"Well, you go back."
"The concubine resigns."
After finishing speaking, Xu Miaoyin retreated to the front of the table, saluted him, then turned around and prepared to go out.
But when she just walked to the door, Zhu Feng hesitated and stopped her.
"Queen."
Xu Miaoyin immediately turned around: "What other orders does the emperor have?"
"..."
Zhu Feng was silent for a while, then said, "Is there any news from the Leng Palace?"
