122. Do you remember the Imperial Palace?
Compared to Huang Yao's wide heart, the imperial court's expression was obviously much more complicated.
His gaze was firmly locked on her fingers, and there was little doubt in his eyes.
He always knew that when she was thinking about a problem, she would subconsciously tap her fingers on the table, which was her usual small action. It's just that... When did it change to touching the placket? Moreover, there seems to be something in the placket, and the shape should be something like a jade pendant. She doesn't love jewelry very much, so she dresses very elegantly on weekdays, how could she suddenly wear a jade pendant?
As soon as this question came to mind, the imperial court shook his head with a smile, a little helpless that he cared too much about her. His current state should be hopeless, otherwise how could his curiosity be so strong that he even has to take care of this little thing?
However, as soon as his eyes touched her face, the answer came.
The warm eyebrows and eyes are rendered in soft colors, decorated with starry smiles, better than the stars in the night sky. Four months, not even half a year, but it was as long as a lifetime, so long that even at midnight when he was sleepy, he would be awakened by nightmares, and then he would toss and turn and could not sleep, and always had to wait for a faint white light outside the window to fall asleep due to tiredness.
In the days when he couldn't see her, he always had to worry about whether she ate and slept well, and whether she was safe and sound.
After being frightened for so long, she finally returned.
"The first caravans to enter the imperial kingdom in camouflage came from the Ming kingdom. I don't know how long later, a shallow voice sounded in the hall again, waking up the two people in deep thought.
"Not bad. The imperial court nodded, and Yu Guang caught a glimpse of the emperor with a tangled face, and couldn't help but smile, and took out a document and threw it to him. Huang Yao immediately flipped through it, and sure enough, he found the word "Mingguo" in the column of his place, "Indeed, is there anything wrong with this?"
"The first time, the first person, the first action are all vital beings that can point to a lot of potential information. So, the first people to enter the imperial kingdom in this form are the key. An Ning said unhurriedly.
"So, Ming Guo?!" Huang Yao's face changed suddenly, and his eyes were angry, "That is to say, Ming Guo is plotting behind his back, right?!"
"It's hard to say. An Ning glanced at him and shook his head calmly.
The imperial court nodded in agreement, "In addition to the Ming Kingdom, the Monarchy also has a large number of people stationed in the Monarchy Kingdom, and we can't put all our suspicions on the Ming Kingdom now." β
"The Kingdom of the Monarch and the Kingdom of Ming, these two countries are the farthest away from the Imperial Kingdom, and it is really difficult for them to try their best to deal with us. Huang Yao smiled coldly.
"Jun Li is known as a tyrant, and he acts fiercely and decisively, and no one in the Manchu Dynasty dares to question the decisions against him. And although Ming Guo is now the emperor of Ming Ji, he is just a puppet with no real power, and the entire continent knows that the real controller is actually Ming Lan, and the ambitions of both of them are not small. Therefore, in this action, those people were able to blatantly enter the imperial kingdom, and they must have been instructed by the two of them. The imperial court calmly analyzed the situation, and when he turned his head, he saw that the woman was strangely silent, frowning slightly, as if he was bothered by something.
Seeing this, the imperial court didn't say anything further, gestured to Huang Yao, came to her side, leaned over and asked softly, "An Ning? An Ning, are you okay?"
A voice suddenly sounded in his ears, and he was shocked that An Ning instantly returned to his senses, his eyes flashed and confused, and then gradually became clear. She raised her eyes and saw him close at hand, her face full of worry and concern, "Ahhhh......h I'm just, just thinking about something, not worrying. β
"Something tricky?" the Imperial Court clearly didn't believe her words.
"It's not a big deal. An Ning waved his hand and smiled, and got up, "Anyway, I will let someone investigate Mingguo's intentions." Okay, you guys are busy, I'll go back first. β
"Waitβ" Seeing that she was leaving, the imperial court opened his mouth without thinking, but when she looked back, he was speechless, and could only stand and look at her stupidly.
Huang Yao on the side was speechless, this kid was reluctant to let people go, just say it, when did he become so stupid? It seems that he still has to go out!"An Ning, do you remember the emperor?"
Emperor?
A slightly unfamiliar name suddenly came into her ears, which made An Ning unable to react at once, and after thinking about it carefully, she realized that this name brought her a strange sense of familiarity.
Ah, it's the name she gave to Huang Yao's newborn child.
"Is it the child of the late Concubine Shu?"
"Exactly! That's the name you gave me. Huang Yao glanced at her reaction, and found that she had no obvious resistance, so he smiled and said, "It's time for lunch soon, why don't you use it together, you can also take a look at the emperor." He is already a year old and looks exceptionally good. β
To be honest, An Ning really doesn't like to stay in the palace for a long time, and he can't wait to leave immediately after chatting about important matters. For children, she is not as happy as ordinary people, and she will not care too much because they are young, but, perhaps because of the name she gave, so for this child she has never met, her mood seems to be a little different.
She seemed eager to meet him.
"Good. β
An Ning agreed to stay in the palace for dinner, and the happiest thing was the imperial court, his whole person was like a spinning top running between the palace and the imperial dining room, almost forgetting what she left for.
"Ah Ting, let them be busy, you sit down and rest first. Huang Yao glanced at it and reminded quietly.
The imperial court was stunned, and as if he had just woken up from a big dream, he hurriedly handed the plate in his hand to the palace people, and sat down opposite her silently. Seeing that he had stopped, Huang Yao turned his head and smiled at An Ning: "I have already sent someone to hug him, you wait." β
An Ning nodded, and asked again, "Who is taking the child with now?"
"I haven't decided yet, and the child is still young, so I will let the nurse take care of it for the time being. Huang Yao's words paused slightly, and an almost pathetic look appeared on his face, "An Ning, I think you also know that the harem has always been a lot of right and wrong, and because of the competition for favor, they hate each other, and the cruelty of the emperor's heir has happened repeatedly, I know it very well in my heart." During the period of your absence, the two concubines in the harem had a happy life, but they both had miscarriages within a few days...... How do you think I can trust the emperor to one of them?"
An Ning was silent, of course she knew the intrigues of the harem, wasn't this one of the reasons why she hated the palace?
"In the future, I still have to find a mother concubine for him, and it is not appropriate to let the nurse take it all the time. The royal court answered.
Hearing that Huang Yao was embarrassed, of course he understood this truth, but this matter was difficult to do! Otherwise, the children would not have been one year old and had not yet settled.
"The old slave has seen the emperor, the king side by side, and the lord of Qingning. In a moment an old woman appeared in the temple, carrying a tightly wrapped baby in her arms.
