Chapter 163: The Harem of the Middle Kingdom
Chapter 163
The two first-class officials are-for-tat, and no one is allowed to interject. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info high-ranking officials are talking, and the courtiers below are naturally not easy to interject, but if the adults above deliberately let you interject, you can't help but know what to do. I saw that after Prime Minister Du Cheng finished speaking, he looked sideways at the other adults behind him and said: Do you think so?
Hearing this, those adults hurriedly answered: What the adults said is true.
As a result, the ministers in the imperial study were divided into two factions, one faction had the heart of rebelling against the foreign vassals and asked the emperor to send troops to suppress it as soon as possible, and the other faction was the lord of peace, and there was no need to involve the peace covenant between the two clans for the sake of the actions of some chaotic people, and it was even more undesirable to provoke a war.
You come and go on both sides, your words are sharp, and no one retreats half a step. The two prime ministers are also not far behind, you say a word to me. Yu Xuan is not in a hurry, let them fight, and finally give an explanation. In the end, Lord Lu said: Lord Du, it is useless to argue like this.
After saying that, everyone looked over. I saw Lord Lu look back at Yu Xuan, and arched his hand and said: Your Majesty, since the minister and Lord Du have different views on this matter, everyone has no definite statement. The emperor is also invited to make a decision on this matter.
Lord Lu bowed down and saluted, waiting for a reply.
Seeing this, Yu Xuan said: What Lord Lu said is the same as what I think, but what Lord Du said is not impossible, what will happen in the end, please consult carefully with the two prime ministers. The border matter is never a trivial matter, but it is a major matter for me, and I ask you to worry a lot. As for today, the adults will go back first and discuss it later.
After speaking, the two prime ministers bowed and said: The ministers are leaving.
Afterwards, the courtiers also withdrew from the imperial study with the salute.
At dinner, the emperor set up the Luanjiao Palace, and the big eunuchs who served the emperor arranged everything in a short time, and several little eunuchs acted according to their orders. The sedan chair was placed outside the temple gate, and a eunuch came in to pass a message to the great eunuch. This great eunuch is named [Sanren], and his family has been poor since he was a child, and he has many brothers, so his parents entrusted someone to send him to the palace, and he has more or less errands and salaries, and can also supplement the family. Because he was about the same age as Yu Xuan, he was assigned to work in the palace of Yu Xuan, who was still the second prince. Along the way, now Yu Xuan has become the emperor, and even his position in the harem is different from that of ordinary eunuchs, as if he has become a veritable eunuch, and even the ministers of the first rank have to be polite to him.
In the Luanjiao Palace, a little eunuch had already come to pass the word, saying that the emperor was coming over for dinner, so the housekeeper asked the kitchen to add a few more delicious dishes, and then personally came to the palace to inform Qingqing. Wait for Qingqing to say: I know. The old lady just went out.
After a short time, Yuxuan's sedan chair arrived at the Luanjiao Palace, and the people of the palace knelt down to salute when they saw the emperor. Yu Xuan didn't care about the minions, and walked straight towards the hall. Qingqing heard a noise outside, so she knew that Yuxuan had arrived, so she got up from the recliner, put the book on the coffee table next to her, and greeted her. Before he arrived at the gate of the palace, he saw Yu Xuan walking forward, so he squatted down and saluted, saying ten thousand blessings.
Yu Xuan thought about people, and when he saw Qing Qing standing in front of him, he was happy. He stepped forward and helped the person up with both hands, and said, "Don't be polite, get up quickly."
The two sat down at the window table on the left side of the hall, Qi Xuan prepared tea, and said: Your Majesty, the kitchen has prepared a meal, is it used now?
Yu Xuan said: Let's go.
He looked at Qingqing again and said: If I come late in the future, you will eat first, and you don't have to wait. I'll use some of it myself.
Qi Xuan retreated, and several palace maids in the palace were also driven out by her.
Qingqing listened, shook her head and said: You are busy with state affairs, and you have to take care of your diet, so you can't be sloppy. Since you have come here to eat, how can I let you have cold rice? Moreover, it is not that I am waiting for you, but that you will accompany me, and I am willing to wait.
Yu Xuan smiled and said, "I will accompany you every day from that day on."
Qingqing also smiled and said nothing.
The meals were brought up one by one and placed on the round table. The palace maids all retreated, leaving only Qixuan Dyeing Branch to serve in the hall. After the meal was full, the palace ladies put away the dishes and bowls.
It was already dark, and although the two of them were not on the side of the round table, they were still there, but they had moved under the window, and had not moved to the dormitory on the right. Moon Star Lang, the moonlight reflected from the window was projected behind Qingqing, her side suddenly shimmered, the white moonlight became more and more beautiful, and the red lips hidden in the dark were even more charming. This scene is not untouching. And Yu Xuan has long been addicted to this.
Qingqing was reading with a book in her hand, and the window was getting darker and darker, and her eyes were strained, so she raised her head to take the teacup on the right side. Qi Xuanzheng came in with the oil lamp in the hand of the palace maid from outside and placed it on the coffee table in the middle. After Qingqing took a sip, she put the teacup back, and when she was about to read a book again, she suddenly heard Yu Xuan say: It's not good for your eyes when it's dark, and an oil lamp won't play much role, so it's not too late to leave the book until tomorrow, and it's better to rest early today.
There was something in this statement, Qi Xuanming made it clear and stared at Qingqing.
I saw Qingqing raise her head, put down the book in her hand, looked at Yuxuan, and replied: That's right, that's fine.
With that, he got up. Qi Xuan was stunned for a while.
The two of them had already walked to the dormitory, and Qi Xuan was still standing in place, but fortunately, Dye Zhi knocked on her arm before she came to her senses. I realized in my heart: my master is going to have a round house!
The second girl followed into the dormitory, not daring to approach the master, but only stood behind the bead curtain and watched from afar. Qingqing walked to the side of the bed and was about to undress, when she saw Yu Xuan standing aside, she stopped and asked, "What's the matter?" You don't have to go back to the Qianqing Palace?
Yu Xuan said: I won't go back today.
Listening to the words, Qingqing understands one or two. just said: Today, the emperor should go back.
Yu Xuan thought that he could stay, so he shared the bed with her, lingering on the bed. From this point of view, it was he who thought too much. For a moment, Yu Xuan suddenly remembered that on the night of the wedding, Qing Qing's face was like a peach blossom and a shy look, and he only regretted that he was so angry at that time that he said those words. Nowadays, it seems that it is absolutely impossible to force retention.
Yu Xuan sighed lightly and said, "That's good, you have a good rest, I'll come back tomorrow."
Qingqing said: Congratulations to the emperor.
Yu Xuan couldn't help but show a wry smile. Turn and leave.
Qi Xuan dyed the branch and saluted him, and when the people left, he walked into the dormitory, approached Qingqing, and only heard Qi Xuan say: Niangniang, if the emperor wants to stay, you just let him stay, why do you have to drive the emperor away?
Qingqing looked at them and said, "You don't have to worry about this matter. It's not too early, I don't have to wait, you can go and rest.
Qi Xuan had to put his head back, and went out of the temple gate with the dyed branch and went back to his house. Now Qixuan dyed the branch and lives in a house. When I first arrived, I was not familiar with many places, and there were many rules in the palace, so I would not make any mistakes with Qixuan taking care of them. Fortunately, Qixuan's house is large, and he lives alone, and after Dyezhi lives in, he won't feel that there is not enough space.
