==Chapter 46: Beloved Concubine==
"Your Majesty, Concubine Li is also in Jingren Palace."
The sun is setting in the west, and the sky is filled with red clouds. Concubine Li appears in Jingren Palace at this time. Not to mention the emperor, even Eunuch Sheng has some unclear meanings.
"Your Majesty?" Eunuch Sheng's eyes were undoubtedly saying: Are we still going?
Xiao Yu pursed his lips and entered.
The sound of the man's footsteps became heavier. Qin Juan and Li Yuan, who were drinking tea in the courtyard, stood up one after another and said with a blessing: "May you be safe, Your Majesty."
At this time, the wind was rustling, and Li Yuan's earrings were ringing like wind chimes. As soon as the emperor arrived, the neck that was bullying the frost and snow immediately responded to his sweetheart, and flushed.
Shui Lingling's eyes were full of endless admiration.
Qin Juan hasn’t seen such a look in her eyes for a long time.
But today, Li Yuan's neck did not have the red color that had been covered with thick powder.
"Sit down." Xiao Yu said calmly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of tea boiling beside him could be heard. Li Yuan bent his eyes, raised his hand and poured a cup of tea for the emperor: "The new tea has been boiled for three times, your majesty, please try it?"
Xiao Yu said "Hmm", took it and put it aside. His eyes fell on Qin Juan and said, "Has your brother delivered a letter home since he was in high school?"
Qin Juan nodded, "I handed it over."
"You are quick." Xiao Yu smiled, and raised his hand to straighten Qin Huan's scarf as if no one was there, "Have you had dinner?"
She whispered: "I haven't eaten yet."
"That's just right, I'll accompany you."
I am accompanying you, obviously referring to Qin Juan.
As soon as these words came out, Qin Juan glanced at Li Yuan.
I have to say that this glance was very spiritual, and Li Yuan's nails were drawn into the palm of his hand.
Li Yuan stood up and said softly: "The Queen Mother has a headache. Recently, I have been copying scriptures and praying for the Queen Mother, so I won't disturb the interest of Your Majesty and Jieyu."
Xiao Yu then raised his eyes and glanced at her, "You are serious."
Li Yuan looked at him, lowered his eyes again to look at the hem of the emperor's clothes, and said: "I, my concubine, leave."
Qin Juan also stood up and said, "My lord..."
But before she finished speaking, Xiao Yu's hand fell on her waist, lifted her up, and straightened her knees: "Go back to the house and bring me the eldest prince."
Qin Juan glanced at him and said, "I will go right now."
Li Yuan walked out of Jingren Palace, her eyes slightly red.
She is a concubine of the second rank, while Qin is only Jieyu of the fourth rank. According to the rules, she should have saluted her, but just now, that person was obviously...
Li Yuan couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Why, you can’t stand that groveling face?
************
Although Mr. Xiao Yun keeps saying that he misses his father, he can't help but feel a little reserved when meeting people.
Xiao Yun paused, clasped his little hands, nodded and said: "Greetings to my father."
The emperor suddenly stood up and waved to him: "Come here."
Xiao Yun walked steadily to his side step by step.
Xiao Yu took Xiao Yun's head and gestured towards his legs. As soon as he made this move, Qin Juan saw Xiao Yun lift her legs slightly, straighten her chest, and she immediately became taller.
After all, it was his son, and neither Qin Juan nor Xiao Yu bothered to expose him.
Xiao Yu touched the back of his head.
Suddenly, I felt that his need to save face was exactly the same as his mother-in-law.
Just after dinner, Xiao Yun yawned, raised her chubby hands, rubbed her eyes, and said: "Mother Concubine."
Qin Juan looked back at him and said, "Mother Yuan."
"My servant is here."
"The eldest prince will not take a nap in the afternoon, so Nanny Yuan will take him down first."
After Xiao Yun left, Qin Juan returned to the emperor and said politely: "It is the Qin family's luck that my brother can be favored by your majesty this time. I would like to thank your majesty here."
Xiao Yu looked at the smile in the corner of Qin Huan's eyes and felt inexplicably that she was different from the one he accidentally bumped into that night.
I can’t say why, it’s like an intuition.
"With your brother's talents, you deserve to be in high school today." Xiao Yu leaned back and said in a deep voice: "But if you want to thank me, why not accompany me for a glass of wine?"
Drink.
Qin Juan's heart couldn't help but tremble.
In her previous life, she was a shameful drinker. Xiao Yu drank with her twice, and each time she couldn't bear to look back.
The next day when he sobered up, he would always rub her waist and laugh that her true nature was finally released, but she gritted her teeth in her heart and scolded him for being evil.
Fortunately, Miss Qin has a pretty good drinking capacity. After a few drinks, she should be fine.
Qin Jing said with a smile: "Your Majesty is in such a good mood today, I will take care of you, but I don't drink well. If I lose my temper when I treat you, I hope your Majesty will not blame you."
Xiao Yu hummed softly.
Soon, Eunuch Sheng brought two jars of Yuquan wine.
Yuquan Liquor is brewed by the Guanglu Temple Brewing Department. It is mellow and fragrant, and has a strong taste. It is definitely not comparable to the peach blossom wine that women usually drink.
Xiao Yu raised his hand and poured a glass of wine.
No one dared not drink the wine handed over by the emperor. After a few drinks, Qin Juan's face was covered with a layer of blush. She rubbed her temples with her fingertips and said, "I am too drunk to drink. It really spoils His Majesty’s interest.”
Seeing her drunken state, Xiao Yu suddenly said: "Do you want to sing a song?"
Qin Juan looked into his eyes.
I couldn’t help but think: It seems you are really willing to listen to the music.
In her previous life, she was a skilled dancer, but her singing skills were mediocre, and at best she was off-key. But in this life, she knew that he liked listening to music so she learned a song from April in order to enter the palace audition.
Xiao Yu only saw the eyebrows of the person in front of him curling up, "Have you heard of my concubine singing "Neon Clothes Ballad"?"
This is April’s favorite song.
Xiao Yu's throat rolled, "That's not true."
The smoke from the furnace in the center of the hall curls up and disperses with the spring breeze.
The beautiful woman was draped in Luo Shang, with the moon shining brightly between her brows. Qin Juan put down the golden bottle and slowly opened her throat. The sound was soft and gentle, like a whisper in the ear, sultry.
The eyes of the maids and eunuchs outside the palace brightened, but the emperor's eyes dimmed inch by inch.
After the song, Qin Juan smiled and said: "Your Majesty, did I sing well?"
Xiao Yu nodded and smiled.
The emperor rested in Jingren Palace tonight without any surprise. Although Qin Juan was not drunk, she was still sleepy when she was drunk. Xiao Yu put his arms around her shoulders and patted her shoulders with his palms.
Xiao Yu slowly closed his eyes——
Dark clouds are approaching, and the capital is gloomy.
On the third day of October in the thirty-eighth year of Yongchang, on the day of Wuzi in the Wuxu month of the Bingshen year, Emperor Jiaxuan died suddenly.
Everyone in the capital knew that the late emperor was terminally ill, but the Queen of Chu kept it secret for how long he had been born.
The night before the Wuzi Day, the Queen of Chu summoned the noble ladies of the aristocratic families and the wives of the imperial family to enjoy the chrysanthemums in the palace. Princess Cheng and the daughters of the Mu family were among them. Before the dinner was finished, the whole palace was already in chaos.
After the spring search, Emperor Jiaxuan was bedridden. In addition, King Yan died of illness, which completely broke the balance between the three kings. Empress Chu took the opportunity to take control of the court. King Cheng saw that the power of the court quickly fell towards the Jin Palace. It was not for nothing. He had rebellious intentions and assassinated him twice. However, Xiao Yu had a good father-in-law. With his military strength, the capital was unable to compete with the Su family.
King Cheng failed both times.
That night, Su Jingbei personally led his troops and surrounded the Forbidden City.
With this attitude, even the beggars on the street knew that things were going to change.
The Queen of Chu took the imperial edict from the dying emperor, sat on the high platform with her lapels folded, looked in all directions, and ordered the **** to slowly unfold the edict in front of the emperor's ministers.
This is the imperial edict of passing the throne.
Everyone skipped the lengthy emperor's speech and read the last sentence directly.
The king of Jin, Xiao Yu, holds Yu in his arms and bows to me deeply. He will be able to inherit the throne and succeed me to the throne. He will be the emperor. He will abide by the system of public opinion and serve for twenty-seven days...
Below is the jade seal.
Emperor Jiaxuan's concubine knelt down in the Hall of Supreme Harmony early in her plain clothes, crying one after another, which was different from her usual pretentious weeping. It was as if her voice was hoarse at this moment, which could be called sincere love.
Weeping continued throughout the sunrise and sunset. The concubines’ throats were hoarse, but their tears could not be exhausted.
These people are all going to be emperors, and apart from getting the titles of martyr women and chaste women, repairing books, and erecting memorial arches, nothing can be left behind.
As the late emperor went to the tomb, these concubines were taken away by the eunuchs one after another. In order to avoid the pain of being suffocated by the coffin, some of them chose to be killed directly in the main hall.
There was a "bang" and blood splashed into the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Su Ling's shoulders shook, and 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 silk curtains, and Xiao Yu quickly moved from the Jin Palace to the Forbidden City.
It was winter, heavy 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 there was peace again.
In the evening, the new emperor dined with the Queen Mother of Chu.
After the Queen Mother Chu stopped the golden chopsticks, she said: "The Li family of Goryeo heard that His Majesty had ascended the throne and quickly sent envoys to send the princess over. The Ai family estimates that it will be here in the next two days."
Xiao Yu paused with his right hand, raised his eyes and looked at the Queen Mother.
Although he was not her biological son, the Queen Mother of Chu had raised him for more than ten years. Now she saw that he was wearing an imperial dragon-patterned robe and had an intimidating demeanor. There was also a smile in his eyes, and she said: "The Ai family heard that she Not only is the country beautiful and fragrant, but Xiao is proficient in Chinese. Although Goryeo is a vassal country, after all, it is Princess Li who is given away. A concubine position is inevitable. As a result, the fourth concubine has one, and Xiao has three. , does your Majesty have anyone in mind?"
Xiao Yu’s Adam’s apple moved slightly.
"Not to mention other things, the chief minister of the cabinet, Mr. Liu, and the Xue family have all contributed this time. Each family has to choose one to enter the palace. Your Majesty..." The Queen Mother of Chu looked at He smiled and said, "That's all. Let's discuss it with Ah Ling tomorrow."
Speaking of this, the Queen Mother continued: "It's the Queen's belly. Why hasn't it moved for so long?"
Xiao Yu's eyes were dim and unclear, he clenched his knuckles and said nonchalantly: "In the past six months, my son has been assassinated twice. The queen almost took a stab for her son. This heir was not wanted by her son. ”
The child would have known otherwise, but the Queen Mother could see through this blatant defense.
However, there is no young couple who does not 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 has made a great contribution.
This is also the reason why the Queen Mother Chu did not rush to let the Chu family daughters into the palace.
In this harem with high walls, whoever wins first doesn’t win.
When the emperor has tasted thousands of things, one day he will put the hard-hearted people in the court into the harem. By then, most of the women in the harem will look like the same.
The only thing left to fight is scheming and skill.
The Queen Mother Chu nodded and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, there is something in what you said."
Xiao Yu said directly: "Before the queen is pregnant, I don't want to chill the hearts of the Su family. Except for the tribute from Goryeo, the rest will wait for now."
The Queen Mother Chu smiled softly, "Your Majesty is the emperor, and the Su family are ministers. Your Majesty is so partial to the Su family, aren't you afraid of chilling the hearts of the Liu family and the Xue family?"
Xiao Yu suddenly smiled, "Mother, everything is first come, first served. Just like in my son's heart, the Chu family is incomparable to others."
The Queen Mother Chu chuckled lightly, "Okay, don't coax the Ai family. You can find the imperial doctor to show Ah Ling another day. There are some things that shouldn't be delayed for too long. Okay, it's getting late. Your Majesty, please rest early."
Snowflakes were falling, and a row of palace people were waiting outside Cining Palace.
Eunuch Sheng put the ram's horn lantern in the hand of the young eunuch, put on the black and gold cloak for the emperor, and said: "Where are you going, Your Majesty?"
Xiao Yu said calmly: "Kunning Palace."
