In the palace, the emperor has given himself a complete holiday these days.
Government affairs that can be ignored are basically ignored.
During the day, he either rode horses and shot arrows, or relaxed with his concubines.
Or talking with the princes. After being the emperor for so many years, it is rare to feel relaxed and at ease this month.
So when he returned to the palace in April, the princes were not happy, and the emperor himself was the eldest one.
But after all, he was not an emperor who indulged in pleasure. Even if he was not happy, he would have to go back.
Shen Chu and Liu Le were unhappy mainly because the emperor came to her place the night before returning to the palace, although he did not say so directly. But that passive and slow look is really...
So she went on the road the next day, and she smiled as soon as she saw the emperor.
The emperor also understood and pointed at her from a distance.
The other concubines will be sore to death when they see her.
Yan Zhaoyuan led the seventh princess and said with a smile: "After all, Concubine Jing and the Emperor have the same mind."
"Connecting minds?" Shen Chuliu laughed out loud: "When you suddenly said that, I thought Concubine Yi was alive."
Yan Zhaoyuan had never met Concubine Yi. The only ones she had seen were Concubine Jing and Su Zhaorong.
Su Zhaorong smiled: "The title of Empress Yi Fei was due to the four words 'mind-to-heart connection'."
Although Yi Fei was posthumously given the title of imperial concubine, when people in the palace talked about her, they still talked about Yi Fei.
Yan Zhaoyuan said hurriedly: "I entered the palace late, so of course I don't know this. Concubine Jing, please don't worry too much. I have no other intentions."
It is always disrespectful to ask people to compare it with a dead person.
Shen Chuliu didn't care and waved his hand: "Let's go, it's time to return to the palace."
She still believed it, Yan Zhaoyuan was not a person who said such things.
This person is like a flower of the high mountains, and I have seen how powerful he is inside over the years.
After another whole day of staggering, on the way back to the palace, the princes lost the excitement they had when they came.
When we returned to the palace, it was already dark. It's really late.
It's the same everywhere. After eating, we go to bed early.
Early the next morning, the Queen gathered everyone and took everyone to the Queen Mother's Palace.
The emperor also came.
The emperor was supposed to come yesterday, but the Queen Mother sent a message saying that the emperor had been tired for a day and would see him tomorrow.
So this morning, the emperor came to pay his respects.
After everyone greeted each other, the Queen Mother asked to sit down.
Naturally, there was nothing to talk about with the concubines, so he said a few polite words and asked each of them to go back.
The Queen Mother left the Emperor and Queen alone.
This is something to say.
The Queen Mother drove them out, leaving only the three of them.
"The Ai family didn't know about Zhenchong Yi. Jue'er was a little unwell. How could she raise such a big child like this?" Queen Mother Li sighed.
"Zhenchongyi has a loving mother's heart." The queen smiled and said.
"It's a loving mother's heart, and it's also doting. It can't be like this. It's no better than the late emperor's time. At that time, the late emperor had few heirs, and he valued every one of them. They all had to study hard and practice martial arts." Empress Dowager Li shook her head: "Now there are more princes. Not so harsh, but not so casual.”
What she said was that there were only three princes back then, and the other two were in a difficult situation, so they naturally had to work hard to make progress. How else can we live
Nowadays, there are more princes and more choices. If you don't make progress, someone will.
"That's what the Queen Mother said." The emperor responded, but did not continue.
He chose to listen to Queen Mother Li. "Hey, Jue'er was in poor health when she was a child, and it was also caused by that little kid. The Ai family saw him suffering from three diseases and two diseases, and the little man was so skinny. Naturally, he was doted on more. Now he is older. , You can't be so unmotivated in your studies. What the Ai family means is that the emperor should be stricter in the future. The Ai family can't be the master, and the queen can't be the master, so the emperor should be more patient."
"I understand what the Queen Mother means." The emperor nodded: "Since the Queen Mother said so, I will naturally be stricter in the future."
The Queen Mother smiled and stopped talking about this. Instead, she talked about the other children with the Emperor and Queen.
They are all good kids.
Then he asked the Queen: "My wife's marriage can't be decided for a while. Queen, what do you think? There is nothing wrong with this family."
"My concubine doesn't have much idea now. Everything depends on the emperor's decision. It's just that my concubine is willful and she has to nod on her own." The queen said.
"This is natural. I'm the only granddaughter of the Ai family, so I'm naturally noble. What's the point of forcing a marriage that she doesn't want?" Queen Mother Li nodded.
The Queen smiled and agreed.
She actually knew in her heart that the Queen Mother must also be worried that the second princess's marriage would be linked to the princes.
Although she herself gave up having a son to get the throne, if the future prince could get the support of the queen, it would be a legal advantage.
This is also the reason why in the past few years, many people have expressed their desire to marry the second princess in a tactful way.
The queen actually doesn't mind, as long as the person marrying the second princess is sincere, so what if he has some purpose
Don't be afraid of being taken advantage of in life. If there is no benefit at all, others may not be willing to treat you sincerely.
After leaving Ci'an Palace, the emperor and empress parted ways.
The emperor has just returned and has a lot of things to do. The queen has taken good care of her health recently, and she also needs to take care of the affairs of the harem.
It was at this time that the stunned Qingchu bumped into the emperor.
He knelt at the door of Taiji Palace and said that he wanted to marry the second princess.
Everyone was shocked, and even the fourth grader of the Lunar New Year, who had so much experience, was shocked.
This bodyguard of Chu Guchu had just been promoted, and now he was also a bodyguard from the fifth rank.
I had just qualified to go to Tai Chi Palace, but something happened while I was kneeling.
The emperor heard the commotion outside and called the fourth day of the lunar month: "What's wrong?"
Chusi Xin said that if I tell you, you can’t beat me too, right
"Back to the emperor, it's Guard Chu. He said... he wanted to marry the second princess. He's kneeling outside right now." Chu Si said.
Qi Yixiu was stunned for a moment: "Which company is it from?"
I explained it on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year. I can’t remember anything else, but I remember this guy who got first place during hunting.
Qi Yixiu was happy: "Tell Yu Chan to come over."
When Yu Chan arrived, he really wanted to die.
I never expected that this kid Chu Gu would come here without saying a word...
When he entered, he kicked Chu Gu on the waist so hard that Chu Gu almost fell down.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. I will send that bastard out immediately." Yu Chan was about to cry. This was an innocent disaster.
"The people under your command are really courageous." The emperor looked at Yu Chan with a smile.
"I am aware of my guilt." Yu Chan was really wronged.
He is very optimistic about Chu Gu, because this boy is only sixteen this year, has good martial arts skills, and is honest.
Naturally, he was valued, but I didn't expect him to be able to do such a thing with cramps.
"It's not your fault. Just wait." The emperor said calmly: "I sent someone to Fengzao Palace. The queen has already said it before. She must take a fancy to the husband of the second princess. If this boy is called Er The princess has taken a liking to him. It’s not like I can’t give him a good life by giving him a good beating.”
