Chapter 307: Request
The emperor leaned comfortably on the couch with half-squinted eyes, holding Tong Guifei's chest with his hand, looking lazy. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Concubine Tong leaned on the emperor's arms, her fingers unconsciously drew circles on the emperor's chest, and she paid attention to the changes in the emperor's mood while talking about the marriage of the second prince.
“…… I had been thinking about the body of the second prince before, and I didn't arrange for him to have a room and a bedchamber, but now that the main concubine has been decided, the concubine thinks that he will simply set another side concubine for him. ”
The eldest prince has successively set the main concubine and the side concubine, and of course the second prince can also.
The emperor closed his eyes and lazily responded, "Hmm." ”
Seeing that the emperor didn't object like last time, Concubine Tong said again: "Then which girl does the emperor think is suitable?" ”
The emperor opened his eyes, looked at the beautiful Concubine Tong, thought of Yu Nianniang's words in his heart, and said, "Is there a candidate in the concubine's heart?" In my opinion, since the second prince has already designated the girl of Duanfu as the main concubine, it is better to choose a girl in the noble lady's own family as a side concubine. ”
Concubine Tong was stunned.
That's not what the emperor said last time.
Concubine Tong smiled dryly and said, "But there are no girls of the right age in the concubine's mother's family now." ”
"There is no Tong Bo Mansion, there are always side branches in Tong Mansion." The emperor said lightly.
Concubine Tong Guifei gritted her teeth secretly, why did she want to set up Duan Zhiqin as the second prince's side concubine, the reason is very simple, because Duan Licheng did not leave the capital ten years ago, or now, as always, by the emperor's Pang Xin, take the beggar case in the south of the city before, Duan Licheng had no clue for a long time, and later the assassin incident only knew that the case in the south of the city was also done by the Turks, and Duan Licheng didn't know anything about these before, but the emperor didn't say a word to blame Duan Licheng.
Therefore, as long as it is someone who is particularly close to the emperor, she wants to win over the second prince. Anyway, the second prince is a prince, in addition to a concubine, he can also set up two side concubines, and there is a concubine room below.
A large net is cast, and there is always someone who can help when it comes to critical times.
However, now the emperor has categorically rejected her request.
Concubine Tong didn't understand why.
She stood up and looked at the emperor with courage, looking aggrieved and obedient: "Does the emperor think that the granddaughter of Lord Duan, the squire of the Criminal Department, is not good?" ”
The emperor looked at Concubine Tong and smiled slightly: "Duan Qing's granddaughter is naturally good." However, since the second prince's concubine has already set up a girl in Duanfu, there is no need to set up another side concubine. Then put away the smile on his face: "Concubine Ai, you must know how to judge the situation in everything, and you must know what is beneficial and what you can't do." ”
Concubine Tong looked at the emperor timidly, and said in a low voice: "The emperor is angry, and the concubines know." And she was wondering what the emperor meant in her heart, and she understood the middle sentence, the emperor was thinking about the second prince, and asked her to find a girl with a family background for the second prince. But in the previous sentence and the latter sentence, Concubine Tong was a little confused.
Just thinking about it, the emperor had already pulled out his hand, sat up, and began to get dressed, Concubine Tong hurriedly sat up, not caring that she was still naked, and was busy waiting for the emperor to dress, while asking: "Is the emperor going to get up?" It's better to stay with the concubine for dinner. ”
The emperor patted Concubine Tong's hand gently, and said with a smile: "I love the second prince the most on weekdays, and I won't hurt him." Duan Qing's girl is really not suitable for him, so Concubine Ai will choose another door for him. ”
Concubine Tong was unbelievable about this, and no one in the court knew that the emperor's favorite was the second prince.
Concubine Tong immediately smiled and thanked him: "Emperor Xie, the concubine knows." After a pause, he saw that the emperor had already dressed and did not seem to plan to have dinner here. The emperor's mind is the most difficult to grasp, and who knows when he will come again.
So Concubine Tong only put on a shirt and poured a cup of warm tea for the emperor: "The emperor has a sip of tea." ”
The emperor took the tea with a smile.
Concubine Tong Guifei dragged the belt of her clothes in her hand, turned her heart sideways, and said with a smile on her face: "Some time ago, the concubine heard that the second prince suddenly became interested in the way of heaven, and she has been reading the book of a way of heaven. ”
"Oh?" The emperor put down the teacup and sat down, he now often discusses the way of heaven with Yu Nianniang, and more and more feels that the mystic art of the heavenly way is indescribable, and it is supernatural, if his son also knows the mystic art of the heavenly way, whether it is the emperor or the prince in the future, it will be a great benefit to the court.
Concubine Tong's hanging heart fell halfway, and continued: "I heard that he has also started to learn the way of heaven recently, but he has been enlightened late in this regard, and he still knows a little bit about it, and he doesn't understand it in many places. ”
The emperor nodded, he, Lao Tzu, had studied the way of heaven for so many years and had not realized a famous hall, how could his son be more powerful than him.
"The way of heaven is profound, ordinary people are afraid that they can't understand it, and this still needs to be taught. There are very few people who are extremely talented and self-taught like Yu Di Shi, and there are very few people in the Celestial Empire. The Emperor sighed.
Concubine Tong's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly said: "Yes, the concubine also thinks that she can find a gentleman to teach the second prince." ”
"That's not a problem." The emperor responded: "When I go back this time, I will immediately ask the Great Heavenly Master to find a better Heavenly Master in the Heavenly Dao Academy to teach the Second Prince." ”
"The concubine thanked the emperor for the second prince, but the Great Heavenly Master is shouldering the heavy responsibility of the Heavenly Dao Academy, why bother him with such a trivial matter, besides, the Heavenly Masters of the Heavenly Dao Academy became talented earlier, I am afraid that the thinking of young people is slightly different from that of today's young people. The concubine felt that it would be better to find a younger gentleman to guide the second prince. ”
The Emperor frowned and nodded. I think what Tong Guifei said is very reasonable, just like Mr. Teaching, the older the gentleman's teaching method, the more outdated, and the younger gentlemen have very different thinking and methods in teaching, and their thinking is more advanced.
"Is there a suitable candidate for the concubine?"
Hearing this, Concubine Tong was overjoyed in her heart, and said: "The concubine thinks that Yu Dishi is the same age as the second prince, and there will not be much difference in thinking and thinking, although Yu Dishi is not a heavenly master now, but she is a descendant of Yu Tianshi, and she is different from ordinary earth masters, so she should be able to take on this important responsibility, and besides, Yu Dishi often discusses with the emperor, so it is more convenient to teach the second prince together......"
In the emperor's expression of indifference, Concubine Tong's voice became smaller and smaller. But the words have already come out, how can they give up halfway.
At the end, Concubine Tong lowered her head and asked the emperor respectfully: "I don't know what the emperor thinks?" ”
The emperor squinted his eyes and looked at Concubine Tong who was drooping his eyes, and a cold light flashed in his eyes: "Does the concubine want Yu Dishi to teach the second prince?" ”
"Yes. Emperor. Concubine Tong said.
"But Master Yu Di is only sixteen years old, I think the age is a little too young, there has never been such a young gentleman in the Celestial Empire!" The emperor said lightly.
"Learning is not about age. The concubine felt that the master of the land was profound, and the occult arts were powerful, and she could take on this important responsibility. Concubine Tong lowered her head and whispered.
No matter how noble and proud the Son of Heaven is, no matter how arrogant he is, he will not dare to be presumptuous!
The emperor got up indifferently, flicked the robe on his body lightly, and said coldly: "If you want to ask someone to teach the Second Emperor Heavenly Dao, you can choose a Heavenly Master in the Heavenly Dao Academy." As for Master Yu Di, Guifei, I don't want to hear these words again in the future. "Refuse without hesitation, with a thick warning!
