"You don't want?" Emperor Jingli asked with raised eyebrows.
"… "
"Really not?"
"… "
"Your Majesty." I always felt that Emperor Jingli was going crazy again, and Liao Qingqing couldn't figure out what Emperor Jingli meant, so he asked, "What do you mean by giving yourself to your concubine?"
"Just to be your emperor." Emperor Jingli said.
"Isn't it now?"
"Now I am the emperor of all the women in the harem."
Liao Qingqing asked inexplicably, "How can you be the emperor of your concubine?"
"You are the queen, and I am your own emperor."
"Emperor, Empress?" Liao Qingqing looked at Emperor Jingli in amazement.
Emperor Jingli smiled and nodded, "That's right."
Liao Qingqing knew that Emperor Jingli was talking and jumping in private, but she didn't expect that Emperor Jingli jumped directly to the matter of "Queen", and that he wanted her to be the Queen. Liao Qingqing asked, "Your Majesty, are you kidding me?"
"Why am I joking?"
"Shouldn't the empress belong to Concubine Liang?" Even if it wasn't Concubine Liang, there were Concubine De, Concubine Xian, etc. These seniors were higher than her, and she never thought about the position of Empress.
"I never thought of making her a queen."
"And Concubine De." Concubine De is a good existence in Liao Qingqing's heart.
"If Concubine De was the queen, she would have been a few years earlier."
"Why a concubine?" Liao Qingqing looked blank.
"Because I want to."
"Your Majesty, you can't be so willful."
"Where am I being capricious?"
Liao Qingqing explained warmly: "Your Majesty, you know that concubines and concubines are from poor families, their father has no talent, their younger brothers are young, and their concubines are not capable of running the harem, so they are not worthy of the queen's position."
Emperor Jingli's face sank immediately.
Liao Qingqing: "..."
"Who did you hear that the queen's family must be well-off?"
"The concubine thought."
"Your thinking is wrong." Emperor Jingli said with a stern face: "Your family background is not good, but it has nothing to do with you being a queen. Your father is incompetent, and your younger brother is young, what is your relationship with me? They want you to be the queen, not them."
"… "
"You and the director of the Department of Agriculture can assist in all aspects of potato planting, so why don't you have the ability to take charge of the harem?"
"… "
"Going back and potatoes are popular among the people. I don't know how many people will be saved and how many myths will be created in later generations. How can they not be worthy of the queen's position?"
"… "
"I see that you just don't care about me!"
"… "
Emperor Jingli continued one sentence after another. Liao Qingqing couldn't catch up, but also felt that what Emperor Jingli said made sense, so he didn't know what to say for a while.
But Emperor Jingli saw that Liao Qingqing did not respond for a long time.
Feeling suffocated all the time, I stood up.
Liao Qingqing was startled and looked up at Emperor Jingli.
Emperor Jingli looked down at Liao Qingqing and said, "I thought that you and I had the same mind, but it seems that I was wrong."
"???"
Emperor Jingli walked away.
Liao Qingqing was completely blinded, she quickly got up and walked to the door of the house. Emperor Jingli had already walked to the gate of Lisheng Pavilion, lifted the hem of his clothes, stepped over the threshold, slammed the hem of his clothes, and then strode away. .
Looking very angry.
"Master." Seeing that the situation was not right, He Xiang hurried over to call.
Liao Qingqing said, "It's okay."
He Xiang bowed his head and stood aside.
Liao Qingqing returned to the inner room, sat on the soft couch, looked at the tea bowl that Emperor Jing Li had used, and thought about what Emperor Jing Li said.
She was at a loss.
Ever since she crossed over, she has always adhered to the life style of "one more thing is worse than one less thing". Living here, she doesn't really care about competing for favor and status.
Even at the beginning, she didn't want Emperor Jingli to notice her.
But Emperor Jingli broke her life.
She also had her back to Emperor Jingli and enjoyed the various benefits brought by her position.
She really has no ambition,
She just wanted to have a craft of her own - planting in the deep palace. With this craft, she was not afraid of falling out of favor and poverty. After all, women in the Wei Dynasty could also be officials and businesses.
She can use farming to earn a little money to support herself.
She never wanted to be queen.
Suddenly hearing about Emperor Jingli mentioning the empress, and making her the empress, of course she was blinded. After she was blinded, she doubted herself, but she never thought that her self-doubt would make Emperor Jingli so angry.
I wonder if Emperor Jingli would sneak over at night
She and Emperor Jingli often have some small frictions. Emperor Jingli often gets angry and will come again soon. This time Liao Qingqing is also waiting for Emperor Jingli to come.
Waiting left and right, until late at night, Emperor Jingli hadn't come yet.
Liao Qingqing had to sleep by herself.
As soon as he opened his eyes the next day, Liao Qingqing asked Hexiang, "Did the emperor come last night?"
"Back to the master, no."
Liao Qingqing nodded. After washing up, she went to the Shouxi Palace to greet the Queen Mother. At noon, she went to the Agricultural Products Department to see the situation of the potatoes. In the afternoon, Concubine De came to visit and asked about the potatoes. Beijing is famous.
Even Xi Zhaorong's reputation has soared.
Liao Qingqing asked curiously, "Have the reputation of concubines and concubines appeared in the people?"
Concubine De smiled and said, "Naturally, this is just the beginning. If potatoes are planted in the folks, Xi Zhaorong's reputation will probably be side by side with the emperor in the future."
Concubine De was different from other concubines. She had no love for children in her heart. She entered the palace for her mother and younger brother to gain a firm foothold in the family. Emperor Jingli helped her to do this.
To her, Emperor Jingli was more like a benefactor.
A benefactor who helped her realize the value of life.
She had no idea about Emperor Jingli, but she was concerned about raising flowers, grass, cats and dogs. There were five cats and two dogs in her yard. She was very happy every day. After hearing about Liao Qingqing's potato planting, she was always happy Liao Qingqing talked about potato planting and planted potatoes in his own yard.
It's just that Liao Qingqing was very curious about how her reputation spread among the people, and asked inexplicably, "How does the people know about the reputation of a concubine?"
Duffy laughed.
Liao Qingqing asked back, "Why is Sister De Concubine laughing?"
Concubine De said: "Sister Xi is really stupid, naturally it was spread by the emperor."
"emperor?"
"Sister Xi doesn't know the emperor's intentions, right?"
"What is the emperor's mind?"
"The emperor has been paving the way for Sister Xi."
"Paving what way?"
"The road to the Queen's seat."
"???"
"You really didn't care about this." Concubine De smiled and said: "Sister Xi, think about it carefully, if the emperor only loves you and has no intention of making a queen, why does Concubine Liang go against you, always want to pull you. down?"
"Isn't that what harem battles are like?"
"No, at first, when you were promoted, Concubine Liang and others didn't care about you, because they thought you were a favorite concubine at most, until the emperor wanted to pull you to his side and to the position of empress, After touching the interests of Concubine Liang and the others, they began to attack you ruthlessly."
"But concubine thinks concubine—"
"The queen is the emperor's wife, the others are all concubines, or nothing." Concubine De said.
Liao Qingqing was slightly taken aback.
"The emperor is very attentive to you."
Liao Qingqing bowed her head and said nothing.
Concubine De suddenly said: "Oh, the little black cat in Bengong should have his nails cut today. Well, Sister Xi, Bengong will not tell you today."
"... Sister De Concubine walk slowly."
Looking at Concubine De's hurried steps, Liao Qingqing laughed dumbly.
In fact, cats and dogs are very cute.
She glanced at the sky, the sun was about to go down.
Emperor Jingli has not come yet.
She thought about it, took out some money, wrote the menu, and ordered Hexiang to go to the imperial kitchen to prepare it.
When night fell, Emperor Jingli still did not come.
Liao Qingqing carried the food box and walked towards Zhenggan Palace with Hexiang.
Emperor Jingli went to Lisheng Pavilion at least once a day, and there was no need for Liao Qingqing to come to Zhenggan Palace to find Emperor Jingli, so this was the first time that Liao Qingqing came here.
There are carved beams and painted buildings around, and palace lanterns are lit in suitable positions, which illuminates the Zhenggan Palace, but still does not show the warm color of the Zhenggan Palace.
Instead, it became more and more quiet and solemn.
Liao Qingqing stood at the entrance of Zhenggan Palace, and asked the little eunuch to pass on it. At this moment, he saw Fusheng.
"Fusheng." Liao Qingqing called out.
Seeing Liao Qingqing, Fusheng was shocked at first, and then hurriedly greeted him as if he had seen Guanyin Bodhisattva: "See Xi Zhaorong."
"Get up quickly, the emperor is inside, you help me spread the word."
Fusheng wanted to say that there was no need to communicate, the emperor was waiting, and after thinking about it, the emperor's temperament was elusive, so he responded, trotted to the study, and cautiously said: "The emperor."
Emperor Jingli was sitting at the table criticizing the papers and made a soft "hmm".
"Xi Zhaorong asks to see you."
Emperor Jingli's eyes stopped for a moment, his hands stopped, his heart beat a little faster, but there was no wavering on his face, and he asked, "What is she here for?"
"Said it was for food."
"Just take the food."
"This—" Fu Sheng looked embarrassed.
"What? She still wants to see me?"
"Yes."
"Let her in."
"Yes." Fu Sheng responded happily. He served the emperor closely every day, and knew that the emperor cared about Xi Zhaorong. The first two days did not know what happened. The emperor suddenly left Lisheng Pavilion. Smelly, he and all the eunuchs are trembling every day. Today, Xi Zhaorong is here, and it must be a good day.
Fu Sheng trotted away.
Emperor Jingli put down the cinnabar pen, looked towards the door, and listened with his ears pricked up, thinking that Qingqing would come over in a while, and he must put on a stand.
Just thinking about it, he heard footsteps from far and near, he sat upright, picked up the cinnabar pen, and then heard Liao Qingqing's voice: "Concubine see the emperor, the emperor is very blessed."
"Well, get up." Emperor Jingli said coldly.
Liao Qingqing got up with the food box, and saw Emperor Jingli seriously criticizing the book, without looking at her, she said bravely: "I heard that the emperor hasn't eaten dinner yet, and the concubine brought some food for the emperor—"
"Put it there, I'll eat it later."
"Yes."
Liao Qingqing turned around and walked slowly to the table next to her.
Emperor Jingli turned to look at Liao Qingqing.
When Liao Qingqing turned around, his eyes instantly turned to the book.
Liao Qingqing looked at Emperor Jingli who was attentive, and said silently, "The food should be eaten while it's hot."
Emperor Jingli hummed lightly.
Liao Qingqing didn't know what book Emperor Jingli was approving, it might be a very important national event, so she was so sleepless and forgetful about food, she was embarrassed to disturb her, and said: "Then, the emperor is done eating before dinner, the concubine will go back first. ."
"???"
Liao Qingqing was blessed: "The concubine retire."
Liao Qingqing turned and walked out.
Emperor Jingli slapped the cinnabar pen on the table with a "pop".
When Liao Qingqing heard the sound, she turned around and saw Emperor Jingli looking at her with a livid face, her face full of doubts.
Emperor Jingli said in a very poor tone: "Come here."
"Concubine?" Liao Qingqing asked.
"Yes, it's you!"
Liao Qingqing walked towards Emperor Jingli in surprise. As soon as he arrived in front of Emperor Jingli, Emperor Jingli put his arms around her slender waist and kissed her lips without warning. her lips.
is a real bite!
"Ah!" Liao Qingqing cried out in pain.
Emperor Jingli let go of Liao Qingqing, his chest heaving and anger flashed in his eyes, he gritted his teeth and said, "You're going to eat me!"
"No concubines."
"For a while, near and far, let me play around!"
"???"
"You've had a great time."
"… "
"It said that it was a food box, but it was actually here to tease me."
"… "
"Humph!" Emperor Jingli let go of Liao Qingqing.
Liao Qingqing looked at Emperor Jingli who was annoyed. He was both angry and funny. His voice was soft and soft, but he also complained a little, "Your Majesty, you are really unreasonable."
"I'm unreasonable?" Emperor Jingli turned his head and asked.
Liao Qingqing nodded.
"You tell me, why am I being unreasonable?"
"The concubine didn't say anything yesterday. It was you, the emperor, who was talking alone. After you finished speaking, you didn't give the concubine a chance to explain. You got up and left. Isn't it unreasonable?"
"… "
"The concubine came to deliver the meal, and you were so focused on the memorial. The concubine was too embarrassed to disturb you, so she had to retire first. You are angry again, and the concubine is so wronged."
"..." Emperor Jingli thought back, it seemed like this, but he was the emperor, he had a strong pride, he said reluctantly: "Who told you not to care about me?"
"When did the concubine not care about the emperor?"
Emperor Jingli was taken aback and asked, "Do you care about me?"
"Of course I care, otherwise the concubines will not make potatoes for the emperor, will not play chess with the emperor, and will not miss the emperor."
"You miss me." Emperor Jingli's heart was sweet, the anger all over his body subsided in an instant, and he looked straight at Liao Qingqing and asked, "When did you miss me?"
"The emperor will miss you when he is not by his concubine's side."
Emperor Jingli immediately hugged Liao Qingqing and sat on his lap, looked at Liao Qingqing happily, and said, "Qingqing, kiss me."
"… "
The author has something to say:-
Liao Qingqing: A grinding little craftsman.
Emperor Jingli: Who? Aifei, who are you talking about
Liao Qingqing: You know who is who.
Emperor Jingli: ? ?
