Since the emperor had spoken to adopt the three nephews, Shen Jieyu and Pan Jieyu quickly came to Changle Palace to express their gratitude. The empress dowager was a little embarrassed at first, but after thinking about it, all three grandchildren hope to ascend to the throne, it is better than putting all the chips on the sixth grandson alone. Wouldn't that be more secure
After thinking about it, she saw Guan Ronghua drinking tea, eating snacks, and taking a box of rouge gouache with toppings before leaving, and she was completely relieved. Even if all her sons are dead and gone, in the end, will the position of the monarch of Wei State not be in the hands of her grandson? It's destiny.
She was quite complacent, so she wouldn't care which concubine the emperor favored. It's good for him to be obsessed with women. If it delays the government, the chances of winning for a few grandchildren will be even greater. Xu Yayan and others will not rush to compete for favor. On the one hand, they were afraid of the emperor's erratic temperament, and on the other hand, they had arranged a future for themselves. As long as they had raised three little grandsons, the future could be expected. How could they still rely on the imperial power
Therefore, Guan Suyi's imaginary scene of being squeezed and suppressed did not appear. On the contrary, no one cared whether she entered the palace or not. In the eyes of others, as long as she was close to the emperor, she was equivalent to a dead person. . This is really...
Guan Suyi shook her head and sighed. She was a little nervous at first, but now she has completely calmed down.
"What are you laughing at?" Emperor Shengyuan took the person back to Weiyang Palace, placed him beside him, and opened the memorial. But his attention was always drawn to the lady, whose frown and smile were more interesting than government affairs.
"Everyone is drunk and I wake up alone, why not laugh?"
"Well, it's really ridiculous." Emperor Shengyuan pushed a pile of memorials in front of her. "You have nothing to do, why don't you help me pick out the important memorials."
"Your Majesty, the harem is not allowed to do politics." Guan Suyi moved her fingertips.
"That's a bizarre statement made by Xu Guangzhi and others to seize the military power in the hands of the imperial sister. Whether it is a man or a woman, as long as there are real talents and practical work, I will use it." Emperor Shengyuan said disapprovingly, "I prefer to have opinions and opinions. woman."
This is a disguised compliment of your own opinions and opinions? But also, he was surrounded by women who listened to the wind and rain, had no opinions, and blindly regarded him as a ghost, and he would naturally feel bored. It seems that it was because of that painting that he was attracted to him.
Guan Suyi is also an ordinary person, and being appreciated by others, it is inevitable that she will feel joy and pride, and she will cover her mouth and snicker for a while, and then she will take out a memorial and read it. She can read books very fast. It is no exaggeration to say that she has ten lines in one eye. In a short time, she picked out the important memorials and arranged them according to the categories of agricultural affairs, government affairs, official management, and people's livelihood. She then divided the rest of the papers into two stacks and pasted two. A small note, one is called “Please An Zhezi”;
Most of these two types of documents were sent by local officials. From time to time, they would greet the emperor to strengthen their sense of presence, or dig out some auspicious things such as dragon-shaped stones and send them to Yanjing to gain political achievements. Because Xu Guangzhi and Prime Minister Wang are both very happy people, they are very fond of reputation and reputation, so this trend is encouraged. A pile of papers was turned down, and there were very few people who were really interested, and eight out of ten were empty.
Guan Suyi couldn't control her mouth. After finally reading it, she frowned and sighed, "It's a lot of nonsense! What are you going to do with it? Just use it as firewood and burn it!"
Hearing this, Emperor Sheng Yuan laughed out loud, hugged his wife, kissed her fiercely, and praised, "Madam really has a good opinion! I will follow your instructions and deal with the case." Take two stacks of memorials, open them one by one, write the original words of the wife below, and return them to the place at the end.
The officials who received the approval were naturally frightened and remorseful. After that, they did not dare to bother the emperor by making memorials for no reason. The prevailing pompousness was effectively curbed, and a large number of practical officials were born. This is a later story, let's not mention it for the time being.
Guan Suyi leaned over and saw that he had written his opinion on the memorial without saying a word, and he was both a little nervous and a little happy. She has read poetry and books, and is full of talents, but because of the suppression of women by the people of the time, she can't show it, and she is inevitably depressed. Finally, she meets a man who does not despise women, and her goodwill arises spontaneously.
Staring at the emperor's serious profile for a while, she suppressed her turbulent heartbeat and the corners of her lips that were upturned, and then continued to review the remaining piles of memorials for him, turned to the last volume of silk, and glanced quickly, unexpectedly Losing his voice, he exclaimed, "Your Majesty, this is..."
Emperor Shengyuan turned to look at her and said with a smile, "I was just thinking about when you will see this letter of appointment. Tongguan has been an important place in the military since ancient times. If you want to guard the gate of the country, you must guard Tongguan. I sent my father-in-law to this place. There are risks and opportunities, but with the talent of your father-in-law, you should be able to deal with it calmly. If you are reluctant to give up your family, I can naturally let him stay in Yanjing, but you must also know that Yanjing is no better than the competition of various forces outside the customs. It is more complicated and has limited room for display. If you are not careful, you will be involved in party disputes and become a pawn or stepping stone for others..."
Guan Suyi interrupted with tears before he could finish speaking, "Your Majesty, you don't need to explain, my concubine understands your painstaking efforts. You are not stingy with your position, but sincerely considerate your father. Your concubine doesn't know the kindness you have received. How to pay back."
Why is there the term "gift of knowledge"? It turned out to be understood, appreciated, and then supported and reused, and its kindness is equivalent to re-creation. How can people not be grateful? If she was still a little unwilling before entering the palace, she has no complaints at this time. She could imagine how high-spirited and open-hearted her father would be when he took over the commission, and how his grandfather would be so relieved. They have endured a lot of humiliation and torture, but in the end they were not defeated by the cruel world.
And if he didn't enter the palace, the ending might be completely opposite. Thinking of this, Guan Suyi's gratitude to the emperor couldn't help but increase a bit.
Emperor Sheng Yuan wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with his fingertips, and said softly, "You are the best reward for me by being by my side. When the old man is in good health, I will also arrange an official position for him. It is not because of you that I promote the Guan family, the talents of the father-in-law and the old man are worthy of reuse."
This is undoubtedly the best affirmation. Guan Suyi was even more moved, but she didn't care about her manners, quietly hugged the emperor's thin waist, rubbed in his arms, and promised in a low voice, "I will never leave the emperor in this life."
Emperor Shengyuan was overjoyed, pinched her chin, and asked for a lingering, passionate kiss.
----
After receiving the letter of appointment, Guan's father was both happy and worried. He thought that this was the official position that his daughter had asked for for him, and he couldn't help thinking more. If the emperor thinks that his daughter is insatiable, will he ignore her? But he was in the deep palace, and he couldn't see him, so he could only pack his bags and get on the road as soon as possible. If he performs well in office and gets the emperor's attention, he may be able to add weight to his daughter.
With this idea in mind, the Guan family took a carriage out of the city gate, but unexpectedly met Guan Suyi outside Shili Pavilion. She and the emperor stood hand in hand on the soil slope. A horse was tied under a tree not far away, and was leisurely nibbling on weeds. Judging from the bald piece of land, it should have been a long wait.
Seeing the carriage coming, she happily ran down the slope, but was pulled by the emperor and whispered "be careful". He frowned and his expression was tense, as if he cared about the safety of the people beside him.
As early as half a mile away, Guan's father had recognized his daughter. Seeing this situation, he was relieved that his heart was not in decline. The emperor's focused eyes and gentle demeanor are by no means a disguise. Besides, he is rich in the world, so what kind of beautiful woman does he want? Why should he show those false feelings to a woman of humble origin? What is he drawing
Being able to accompany her daughter out of the palace in Weifu and personally come to see off her family, the daughter may have some weight in the emperor's heart. Father Guan let out a long sigh, finally dispelling the last trace of concern. The old man is bright-eyed, and his evaluation of the emperor is much higher.
When the two approached, the Guan family had jumped out of the carriage and waited.
The old man and Guan father were about to salute, but they were pulled up by Emperor Shengyuan and said warmly, "This is a long way to go, and it is mostly a steep mountain road. If there is no guard escort, I am afraid it will be difficult to arrive safely. This is my token, grandfather-in-law and My father-in-law just goes to the Gyeonggi camp in the western suburbs and asks General Zhao Haizhao to dispatch a hundred elite cavalry to see him off."
Grandfather-in-law, father-in-law? Only the elders of the queen can afford such a title, right? Both the old man and Guan father were shocked, but they didn't show it on their faces. They quickly took the jade talisman and knelt down to thank them. Guan Suyi was still worried about the safety of her family. After hearing this, her eyes turned slightly red. She was very grateful to the emperor, and now it has increased a hundredfold.
Not to mention that she is only a fifth-rank Ronghua, who can be regarded as a concubine in an ordinary family. Even if she is still the head mistress of Zhenbei Houfu, she has never been treated with such caution. She could feel the emperor's cherishment and love for her, and in order to be worthy of this feeling, she was willing to give everything.
After sending her family away, she lost her restraint and self-discipline, threw herself into the emperor's arms, and hugged him tightly, "Thank you," her voice was hoarse and eager.
"What's the use of talking with a bare mouth?" Emperor Shengyuan kissed her red and hot ears, "Give birth to a child for me, a child with half blood of you and me."
"But you are planning to divide the major forces. Is it appropriate to have a child at this time?" Being pregnant at this time will undoubtedly bring all the disputes to herself. Guan Suyi is afraid that she will not be able to keep the child.
"Slow has a slow method, fast has a fast strategy, but it's just to see if there is any news from your belly." He picked up his wife, threw it up, and said with a low smile, "Don't worry, I will protect you and the child. My treasure." The last word disappeared between the lips and teeth of the two.
Guan Suyi forgot all her distracting thoughts, the sorrow of parting, and concentrated on responding to each other's kisses. It seems like a good idea to have a child and have the bloodline of yourself and the emperor at the same time.
