"Your Majesty, Concubine Li is also in Jingren Palace."
Right now, the sunset is on the west mountain, and the sky is full of red clouds. Concubine Li appeared in Jingren Palace at this time, not to mention the emperor.
"Your Majesty?" Eunuch Sheng's eyes were undoubtedly saying: Shall we go in
Xiao Yu pursed his lips and entered.
The man's footsteps became heavier, and Qin Wei and Li Yuan, who were drinking tea in the courtyard, got up one after another, and blessedly said, "Your Majesty is safe."
At this time, the wind was rustling, and Li Yuan's ears were ringing like wind chimes. When the emperor arrived, the neck of the bully Sai Xue immediately reacted to his sweetheart, and flushed.
In Shui Lingling's eyes, there is endless admiration.
Qin Yan had not seen such a look for a long time.
But today, Li Yuan's neck was not covered with the redness that had been covered with thick powder.
"Sit down." Xiao Yu said lightly.
As soon as the voice fell, the sound of tea boiling on the side just sounded, Li Yuan bent his eyes, raised his hand and poured a cup of tea for the emperor: "The new tea is boiled three times, Your Majesty will try it?"
Xiao Yu gave a "uh", took it and put it aside, his eyes fell on Qin Yan, and said, "Your brother is in high school, can you deliver a letter to your family?"
Qin Yu nodded, "I handed it over."
"You're fast." Xiao Yu smiled and raised his hand to straighten Qin Yan's neck as if no one else. "Have you eaten dinner yet?"
She whispered, "My concubine hasn't eaten yet."
"That's right, I'll use it with you."
I accompany you, obviously referring to Qin Xie alone.
As soon as these words came out, Qin Jie glanced at Li Yuan.
I have to say, this look is very spiritual, and Li Yuan's nails are all tucked into the palm of his hand.
Li Yuan got up and said softly, "The Empress Dowager's head is frequently ill, and the concubines have been copying scriptures and praying for the Empress Dowager recently, so they won't disturb the interest of Your Majesty and Jieyu."
Xiao Yu then raised his eyes and glanced at her, "You have a heart."
Li Yuan looked at him, looked down at the emperor's clothes, and said, "The minister and concubine retire."
Qin Xue also got up, "Chen..."
But before she could finish speaking, Xiao Yu's hand fell on her waist, lifted it up, and straightened her knee: "Go back to the house and bring the eldest prince to me."
Qin Jie glanced at him and said, "I will go now."
Li Yuan walked out of Jingren Palace with reddish eyes.
She is the concubine of the second rank, and the Qin family is only the Jieyu of the fourth rank. According to the rules, she should have bowed to herself, but just now, that person was obviously...
Li Yuan couldn't help taking a deep breath.
Why, can't you see that face bowing and kneeling
—
Although Xiao Yun kept saying that he missed his father, but when he saw people, he couldn't help being a little cautious.
Xiao Yun stopped in his footsteps, clapped his hands together, nodded and said, "Greet your father's favor."
The emperor suddenly got up and waved at him: "Come here."
Xiao Yun took one step at a time and walked steadily to his side.
Xiao Yu took Xiao Yun's head and looked at his legs. As soon as he made this move, Qin Yan saw Xiao Yun slightly lift his feet and puff out his chest, and the person immediately became a little taller.
In the end, it was his own son, neither Qin Ye nor Xiao Yu was too lazy to expose him.
Xiao Yu touched the back of his head.
Suddenly, he felt that he was trying to save face, just like his mother-in-law.
Just after dinner, Xiao Yun yawned, raised his chubby hand, rubbed his eyes, and said, "Mother concubine."
Seeing his appearance, Qin Xue turned around and said, "Mother Yuan."
"The servant is here."
"The eldest prince didn't take a nap in the afternoon, Mammy Yuan should take him down first."
After Xiao Yun left, Qin Ye returned to the emperor and said blessedly, "It's the fortune of the Qin family that my brother can win His Majesty's love this time. My concubine would like to thank His Majesty here."
Xiao Yu looked at the smile in the corner of Qin Ye's eyes, and somehow felt that she was different from the one she accidentally bumped into that night.
I can't say why, just like an intuition.
"With your brother's talent, today's high school is well deserved." Xiao Yu leaned back and said in a deep voice, "But if you want to thank me, why don't you accompany me for a drink?"
drink wine.
Qin Yue's heart couldn't help but tremble.
In her previous life, her drinking capacity was a shame, Xiao Yu had drunk with her twice, and each time he couldn't bear to look back.
When he woke up the next day, he always rubbed her waist while laughing that her nature was finally released, but she gritted her teeth in her heart and scolded him for being mean.
Fortunately, Miss Qin's alcohol intake is not bad, she should be fine with a few drinks.
Qin Ye smiled and said, "Your Majesty has such an elegant show today, and the concubine will accompany you, but the concubine is not very good at drinking. If you lose your temper later, I hope Your Majesty will not blame it."
Xiao Yu hummed softly.
Soon, Eunuch Sheng brought two jars of Yuquan wine.
Yuquan wine is brewed by Guanglu Temple Brewing Department.
Xiao Yu raised his hand and poured a glass of wine.
No one dared not to drink the wine that the emperor handed over. After a few glasses of wine, Qin Jie's face was covered with a layer of blush. She rubbed her temples with her fingertips and said, "This concubine is invincible. Your Majesty is interested."
Seeing her drunkenness, Xiao Yu suddenly said, "Can you sing?"
Qin Jie looked into his eyes.
Involuntarily said: It seems that you really want to listen to music.
In her previous life, she was exquisite in dancing, but sang mediocrely, at most not out of tune, but in this life, in order to enter the palace draft, knowing that he likes listening to music, she specially learned a song from April.
Xiao Yu saw the eyebrows of the person in front of him twitching, "My concubine can sing "The Ballad of Nishang", has your Majesty heard it?"
This is April's hit song.
Xiao Yu's throat rolled, "That's not true."
The smoke from the furnace in the center of the hall was curled up and dissipated with the spring breeze.
The beautiful woman was wearing a robe, and the moon shone on her brows. Qin Jie put down the golden bottle and slowly opened her throat.
The eyes of the maids and eunuchs outside the hall lit up, but the eyes of the emperor darkened inch by inch.
After the song was over, Qin Jie smiled and said, "Your Majesty, does the concubine sing well?"
Xiao Yu nodded and smiled.
The emperor rested in Jingren Palace tonight without any accident. Although Qin Xue was not drunk, but when he was drunk, it was no match for sleepiness. Xiao Yu took her shoulder and patted her shoulder with his palm.
Xiao Yu slowly closed his eyes—
The dark clouds are amiable, and the capital is gloomy.
On the third day of October in the thirty-eighth year of Yongchang, on the fifth day of the fifth month of the Bingshen year, Emperor Jiaxuan died suddenly.
Everyone in the capital knew that the late emperor was terminally ill, but how many days were left, the Empress Chu kept it very tight.
On the night before Wuzi Day, the Empress of Chu summoned the noble daughters of the noble family and the wives of the imperial family to enter the palace to admire the chrysanthemums. Princess Cheng and the daughters of the Mu family were among them. Before the banquet was used up, the entire palace was in chaos.
After the spring search, Emperor Jiaxuan couldn't afford it. In addition, King Yan died of illness, which completely broke the situation of the three kings. Empress Chu took the opportunity to take control of the court. King Cheng saw the court forces quickly dumped into the palace of Jin. In his mind, he has done twice just to assassinate him, but Xiao Yu has a good father-in-law, and with military strength, Beijing is incapable of competing with the Su family.
The king was defeated twice.
That night, Su Jingbei personally led his troops to surround the Forbidden City.
With such a posture, even the beggars on the street knew that things were about to change.
The Empress of Chu took the imperial edict from the dying emperor, and sat on the high platform with her chest folded.
This is the imperial edict.
Everyone skipped the lengthy life of the emperor and saw the last sentence directly.
King Xiao Yuhuaijin of Jin holds Yu Yu and bows deeply to me, and he will surely be able to inherit the great lineage and succeed me in ascending the throne, that is, the emperor's throne, that is, obeying the government system, and serving for twenty-seven days...
Below is the seal of the jade seal.
The concubines of Emperor Jiaxuan knelt down in the Hall of Supreme Harmony in plain clothes early, crying one after another, which was different from the usual contrived sobbing, as if her voice was exhausted at this time, so she could be called sincere.
Crying throughout the sunrise and sunset, the concubines and concubines were hoarse, but the tears could not flow.
These people are all going to the emperor, but they can't leave anything except to get the title of martyr girl and festival woman, to repair books, and to set up a memorial archway.
As the emperor went to the tomb, these concubines were successively pulled away by the eunuchs. Some people chose to be killed directly in the hall in order to avoid the pain of being suffocated by a coffin.
"Bang", blood splashed in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Su Ling's shoulder shook, Xiao Yu quickly pulled her behind him, held her hand, and whispered, "Don't be afraid."
After the national mourning, the palace people dismantled the layers of plain curtains, and Xiao Yu quickly moved from the Jin Palace to the Forbidden City.
It was winter, and the snow fell one after another, and the carved beams and painted buildings were covered with layers of light white.
The new emperor ascended the throne, and it was peaceful again.
In the evening, the new emperor accompanies Empress Dowager Chu for dinner.
After the Empress Dowager Chu stopped the golden chopsticks, she said, "Koryo Li heard that His Majesty had ascended the throne, and hurriedly sent an envoy to send the princess over. Ai's family estimates that two days are coming soon."
Xiao Yu paused with his right hand, raised his eyes and looked at the Queen Mother.
Although it is not her own son, the Empress Dowager Chu has raised him for more than ten years, and now she looks at him wearing the imperial dragon-patterned robe, with a terrifying bearing and a smile in her eyes, and said, "Ai Jia heard that she was not only born of the country's beauty. Tianxiang, is also proficient in Chinese, although this Goryeo is a vassal state, but after all, it is the Princess Li, one concubine is inevitable, so, with four concubines occupying one, and three more, does Your Majesty have a choice?"
Xiao Yu's Adam's apple moved slightly.
"Let's not talk about it, the chief assistant of the cabinet, Mr. Liu, and the Xue family have all contributed their efforts this time, and each family has to choose one to enter the palace, Your Majesty..." The Empress Dowager Chu looked at him and smiled, "That's it, Tomorrow, Ai's family should discuss with Ah Ling again."
Speaking of this, I only heard the queen mother continue: "It's the queen's stomach, why hasn't it moved for a long time?"
Xiao Yu's eyes were dark and unclear, he clenched the wrench on his knuckles, and said nonchalantly: "In the past six months, the son has been assassinated twice by light, and the queen almost got a knife for her son. This son, the son does not want it."
I don't know if the child will or not, but this blatant maintenance, the queen mother can see it.
However, there is no way for a young couple to have a deep relationship, not to mention that the Su family has contributed a lot to the emperor. It can even be said that Xiao Yu can successfully ascend the throne, and the Su family must make a great contribution.
This is also the reason why Empress Dowager Chu was not in a hurry to enter the palace with the Chu family daughters.
In this harem with high walls, whoever wins first is not considered a winner.
After the emperor has tasted thousands of flavors, one day he will put the stone-hearted heart of the court into the harem, and by then, most of the women in the harem will become the same.
What's more, is the scheming and the wrist.
Empress Dowager Chu nodded and said with a smile, "Your Majesty has something to say."
Xiao Yu said directly: "Before the queen is pregnant, I don't want to chill the heart of the Su family. Except for the tribute to Goryeo, the rest will wait for the time being."
The Empress Dowager Chu smiled softly, "Your Majesty is the emperor, and the Su family is a minister. If your Majesty is so partial to the Su family, aren't you afraid of the cold in the hearts of the Liu family and the Xue family?"
Xiao Yu smiled suddenly, "Empress mother, everything should be done on a first-come-first-served basis, just like in the heart of a son, the Chu family is also incomparable to others."
The Empress Dowager Chu chuckled, "Okay, you don't have to coax the family, you can find the imperial physician to show A Ling another day, some things don't take too long, okay, it's getting late, Your Majesty, please rest early. ."
Snowflakes rustled down, and a row of palace servants waited outside the Cining Palace.
Eunuch Sheng put the ram's horn lamp in the hand of the little eunuch, put on a black flat gold cloak for the emperor, and said, "Where is Your Majesty going?"
Xiao Yu said lightly, "Kunning Palace."
