Harem Competing Raiders 15
A month later, everything was settled, and Mu Yongsheng led his troops back to the imperial city. The first thing he did when he went to see Xiao Junye was to voluntarily hand over his military power. Xiao Junye still made Mu Yongsheng the commander-in-chief of the army and horses, but the battle was over, so he took back two-thirds of the military power into his own hands.
Ye Rong's health has recovered, he went with Tao Yuan and his concubines early in the morning to pay his respects to the Queen Mother.
After the queen mother asked everyone to get up, she asked Tao Yuan to sit down, and then looked at him with a smile and said, "It's not that you don't have to come to pay your respects early in the morning, now is the time to sleep well, you are pregnant with the child, it is good to sleep more .”
"I woke up earlier today, so I will naturally come to pay my respects to the queen mother, how can I be lazy every day." Tao Yuan said with a smile.
"As long as you have the heart, you haven't had breakfast this early in the morning, have you? Go back and have breakfast, and you should be more at ease. Aijia won't keep you here for breakfast." The queen mother said to Tao Yuan After finishing, he said to the others, "You all step back too, Ye Rong stays."
Tao Yuan stood up, saluted with the others, and then walked out.
The queen mother called Ye Rong, not A Rong. From this simple address, Tao Yuan guessed that Xiao Junye had already told the queen mother that Ye Rong's child was not his business.
After the others went out, the Queen Mother immediately looked at Ye Rong with a gloomy face, and did not speak for a while.
Ye Rong raised his head in doubt, and when he met the Empress Dowager's eyes, he was startled, because the Empress Dowager looked at him coldly and disgusted, as if she was looking at something unclean.
Thinking that when he had just had a miscarriage, the queen mother sent someone to give him something, and told him to comfort him to take good care of him, so that he would be able to conceive again in the future, so don't be too sad.
But after that one time, the Queen Mother never gave him anything again. Looking at him with such a face and eyes now, she seemed to know that the child he aborted was Yu Wang's child, not the emperor's.
The way the queen mother looked at him made him embarrassed and nervous at the moment, as if he was caught and raped in bed, and he wished he could escape from here immediately.
The Empress Dowager is also chilling and loathes him. Fortunately, she still thinks he is the most suitable person to be a queen, and she is partial to him everywhere, but it turns out that she loves him so much. It is better to give it to a dog. The dog at least knows how to treat him. Be faithful to those who are good to it. Fortunately, he was not allowed to be the emperor's official wife, otherwise, the shame would be even greater.
"I heard from the imperial doctor that it is very difficult for you to take care of your body. From now on, you will stay in Mingcui Palace to recuperate. You don't need to come to Ai's house to pay your respects, and you don't want to walk around in the palace." The Queen Mother wished he could be killed immediately. , because the emperor still uses him to remind and control the Ye family, so he can live for a few more years, but he really doesn't want to see him in his sight again.
It was a felony for Ye Rong to administer drugs to the emperor, and it was another felony to have an affair with King Yu, and it was an added crime to be pregnant with King Yu's child and pretend to be the prince. The sum of these crimes is enough to make the Ye family confiscate the family and exterminate the family, but the emperor still wants to use the Ye family, so he will not be moved for the time being. .
"No." Ye Rong replied with a dazed expression, the queen mother is going to ground him in a disguised form, that is to say, he will not be able to leave Mingcui Palace in the future.
"Back off!" The Queen Mother said coldly.
"Resignation." Ye Rong bowed and retreated.
On the way back to Mingcui Palace, Ye Rong suddenly looked up at the sky, his heart was very painful and tormented, after he had a miscarriage, he never saw Xiao Yuyang again. The imperial palace has been completely controlled by the emperor, he didn't know how to get in touch with Xiao Yuyang, even his family didn't come to see him. He doesn't know how to live in the future, can he really just wait for death? But he was not reconciled, he was really unwilling to admit defeat just like that.
Although the Empress Dowager told him not to walk around in the palace at will in the future, Ye Rong still changed his way and went to the Empress Dowager's palace.
But he couldn't even enter the palace gate. The eunuch guarding the gate told him that the Empress Dowager was seriously ill, and the emperor ordered that no one should disturb the Empress Dowager's recuperation.
Even the empress dowager has been controlled by the emperor, and Ye Rong is even more desperate. This helpless feeling of not knowing what to do makes him feel desolate.
Ye Rong returned to Mingcui Palace in a daze, it would be impossible to say that he had completely given up on reaching his current goal. Although the development of many things is very different from the development he knows, but he is still holding on to the last glimmer of hope and is unwilling to let go. He feels that he has traveled through time as the protagonist at least once, and it is impossible for him to fail completely like this .
He has completely given up hope of getting Xiao Junye's favor, and now he only hopes that Xiao Yuyang can hold on. Because Xiao Junye can live for at most three years, as long as they survive these three years, they still have a chance to win the throne.
"Your Majesty, let's eat." The palace servant placed the food on the table.
"I'm not hungry, let's take it." Ye Rong said in a daze, but seeing the servant preparing to leave without saying a word, he stopped him again, "Wait!"
"What is your order?" the attendant turned around and asked again.
"I want to see my family members. Go and tell Eunuch Xu who is next to the emperor. After the next court, pass a message to my grandfather." Ye Rong got up and went to take out some gold leaves and silver tickets. Take it, and give this bank note to Eunuch Xu."
The palace attendant didn't take it, but looked at him and said, "The Queen Mother has an order. From today onwards, no one in Mingcui Palace is allowed to leave without permission. No one can enter Mingcui Palace without the permission of the Queen Mother."
"My grandfather is the prime minister, so he will naturally ask His Majesty for permission." Ye Rong said.
The palace attendant made a hesitant look on purpose, and then said, "Since the death of King Yu, I heard that Prime Minister Ye has not been in court for many days because of his serious illness, so even if the emperor wants to pass on the message to Eunuch Xu, Eunuch Xu will also pass on the message." No way."
"What did you say?!" Ye Rong widened his eyes in shock, looked at him in disbelief and asked, "You said King Yu, what happened to King Yu?!"
"Prince Yu rebelled and was captured alive by Marshal Mu's eldest son. When he was escorted to His Majesty, he bumped into a soldier's knife and died."
Ye Rong's eyes went dark, and he felt the world spinning for a while, and the last glimmer of hope in his heart was also shattered. Although he had a premonition, but after confirming it with his own ears, he still suffered a huge blow.
He didn't understand why things turned out like this. He didn't even know why he lost, so there was no room for him to stand up. If this is his end, then why did God let him travel to this world, is it just to let him suffer failure and blows
Ye Rong fainted on the ground, the palace attendant just glanced at him, then turned and left.
Mingcui Palace is now full of Xiao Junye's people, who are always monitoring Ye Rong's every move. And because of the Queen Mother's order, from now on, Ye Rong can no longer leave the Mingcui Palace for half a step, and his future life will not be easy.
…………………………
A few months later, Tao Yuan's child was born, a boy, Xiao Junye and the Queen Mother were very happy.
Tao Yuan took the child to pay his respects to the Queen Mother every day after confinement.
After another two months, the queen mother began to ask Tao Yuan to manage some harem affairs. Ever since the queen mother found out about Ye Rong and King Yu, she was not only very angry, she persuaded Xiao Junye to take care of other people's thoughts, and there was nothing left, so she let him go. When she thought of Ye Rong having an affair with King Yu, and she kept persuading the emperor to be more fortunate with Ye Rong, she was so angry that her chest hurt.
In fact, the Empress Dowager mainly considered Xiao Junye's body, and felt that since he had no intention and powerlessness towards other people, she couldn't bear to force him anymore.
That day Tao Yuan got up early in the morning and took the child to pay respects to the Queen Mother.
"The minister is late, please forgive me, the Queen Mother." Tao Yuan saluted the Queen Mother.
"It must be this little guy who got up early to trouble you again, hurry up and show it to Ai's family." The Queen Mother said with a smile.
The palace attendant carried the little prince to the back of the queen mother, and the queen mother took it into her arms, looking at his fair and tender face, she couldn't get enough of it. This is not only Xiao Junye's eldest son, but also his only child. This child is exactly the same as Xiao Junye when he was a child, even some small movements are very similar. If the Queen Mother doesn't look at him for a day, she will feel empty and uncomfortable.
"You all retreat." The queen mother hugged her grandson, impatiently listening to those concubines, and just wanted to send them away quickly.
"promise."
As usual, Tao Yuan talked with the Queen Mother for a while, then left the child behind, and went back to Fenghua Palace to deal with some matters. After noon, the Empress Dowager will send someone to take the child back to Fenghua Palace.
Tao Yuan took over the management of the harem, but he didn't just hold the power tightly in his own hands. There are so many people in the harem idle, so he wouldn't be stupid to work hard by himself. So he asked Concubine Shu, Concubine Xian, and Ning Guijun to help him manage the harem together. Whenever there was any problem with the part managed by them, he would directly ask them for guilt.
Seeing that Tao Yuan had just started managing the harem, the queen mother was very satisfied that she was able to manage the harem in an orderly manner, not greedy for power, and governed well. Thinking that when she gets older, she can safely hand over the entire harem to him, and she can retire in peace. Now that she can help him to suppress those tricky people who love to be monsters, he can relax a bit and help the emperor to have a few more children.
After taking a bath at night, Tao Yuan half leaned on the bed to play with his son, this little guy was sleeping most of the time, if he didn't tease him before he fell asleep, he would wake up crying again in the middle of the night.
But teasing and teasing, Tao Yuan himself fell asleep slowly, and he didn't know how long he had been asleep. He suddenly felt a little itchy on his face, and when he opened his eyes, it turned out that Xiao Junye was kissing him.
"Your Majesty..." Tao Yuan looked at him sleepily.
"Are you awake?" Xiao Junye stroked his face and kissed the corner of his mouth.
"Hmm." Tao Yuan thought to himself, if you tease me like this, can I not wake up
Xiao Junye got up and put down the curtain, then took off his clothes and went to bed.
Tao Yuan looked at him, coordinated with his movements, and asked him to take off his clothes.
Tao Yuan suddenly remembered that the child was still by his side, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, Xu'er is still able, let the palace attendant come in and take him away first."
"Let's talk about it later, let him sleep here first." Xiao Junye was already ready to stop, and he couldn't stop just by saying stop.
"Your Majesty, please be gentle. Don't wake up Xu'er, or he will cry again." Tao Yuan wrapped his legs around his waist and said, clinging to his shoulders.
Xiao Junye didn't answer him, but just kissed him forcefully, he hugged Tao Yuan tightly, and moved vigorously, he couldn't even care about their child and slept on the side.
Tao Yuan is still a little sensible, trying not to make a sound, he can only rejoice that the child is still young, even if he wakes up, he will not have any memory at all.
