Chapter 3: The Adulterous Concubine

3

In the main hall of the imperial court, the debate over the post-election matter was extremely fierce, but Xue Qingyi, who was sitting on the throne, was very uncomfortable, like acne under his buttocks, and he couldn't sit still.

Isn't there enough wives for him? In the past few years, Xu Guifei has found not thousands, but hundreds, but so what? It's not that a son can't be born.

Besides, his dignified emperor, can't he find a woman by himself? Is it necessary to make such a private matter all over the world? Don't these ministers have anything else to do?

Xue Qingyi sighed again and again, and his fat body trembled lightly with a lot of flesh because of the sigh. The court meeting has been held for a long time, and it is still inconclusive, and his stomach is already hungry.

Xue Qingyi interrupted the noisy ministers in a loud voice, "Aiqing, this matter is considered in the long run, I see that it is not too early, let's disperse!" ā€

Of course, the ministers did not do it, and repeatedly said that they had a plan to play.

Xue Qingyi had no choice but to give the chief manager of the Ouchi next to him, Minister Ren, who understood it, and shouted in a sharp voice to retreat.

The minister couldn't, so he had to shout long live, and the emperor seemed impatient.

Of course, the emperor was impatient, and the ministers asked him to choose every day, and he wanted to promote Xu Guifei to the queen, and the ministers immediately refuted it.

What is this for, what's wrong with him choosing a woman who is dedicated to him to be the queen, who is in the way, will finding a comfortable woman be the queen, will it affect the future of the country?

Xue Qingyi put his hands behind his back, and Father-in-law Ren followed, looking at the emperor's bad face, and asked, "Your Majesty, let's go to the Splendid Palace?" ā€

"Go."

Father-in-law Ren agreed, and sent the little eunuch beside him to announce the decree and let Xu Guifei follow. At this point, Father-in-law Ren looked at the sky, the emperor should be hungry, and then looked at the emperor, the emperor had a lot of sweat on his face, and he didn't walk a few steps.

"Does the emperor want to take a sedan chair to drive over?" Ren Gonggong built yƬ road.

"No, the concubine said that I should walk more, which is good for my body, you say, such a considerate woman, why do people outside say that she is a red face and a disaster, I see that they are simply jealous of me, very jealous, because there is no such kind of person around, they are jealous of me, and they want to arrange ugly women to my side every day, so that I am annoyed."

Father-in-law Ren had no choice but to echo the emperor's words, because the emperor's words were somewhat reasonable. Father-in-law Ren looked at the harem all over the harem, there were too many beautiful women, but if they were at the level of Xu Guifei, how many years would they have to be cultivated.

The woman is not only beautiful in appearance, but also in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, music, song and dance, as small as embroidery, and cooking, all of which are proficient, and can be said to be the only demon who attaches equal importance to beauty and wisdom.

Since the emperor ate what she cooked, the imperial dining room has not opened food for the emperor for several years, and this woman has ingenuity, often creating opportunities for the emperor, and the night life has also made it colorful.

The emperor eats and drinks well, and there are beauties in his arms, this harem, don't live too comfortably, only three years of hard work, the emperor has changed from a humble gentleman, a man with a moderate stature, to a dead fat man.

If you want to say that it is not good to raise, no one will believe it.

I don't know if it's because the food is too good and the life is too happy. The emperor's body seems to be a little too much, recently this time, the imperial doctor said that it was a bit empty, the emperor also said that he was always dizzy, Xu Guifei didn't say a word, and immediately gave a pertinent opinion, asking the emperor to walk more, exercise more, its thoughtfulness, its delicateness, just like heaven and earth to shine on the emperor reads;.

If there is any shortcoming of Xu Guifei, it is that she failed to give birth to a prince to the emperor. But she is tolerant and generous, and in the past few years, she has worried about the emperor and arranged beauties, but no one can give birth to this, this is not Xu Guifei's, it is very likely to ......

Father-in-law Ren looked at the emperor very vaguely, the one who didn't lay eggs was the emperor.

If the emperor has no heirs, the court situation will not be stable. In addition, the vassal kings of various places may not be looking at this opportunity and eyeing each other, but it can be said that although the emperor is sitting on this throne, he is also stormy.

If you don't have an heir for a day, your life will be difficult to determine after all. Second, the courtiers also have their own plans, and the back position is vacant, and the family with a daughter does not look forward to it.

Therefore, the matter of the election is rising day by day.

Father-in-law Ren looked at Xue Qingyi, who was sweating like rain after walking for a while, and immediately pulled it from his sleeve. He handed him the handkerchief and said, "Your Majesty, please wipe it." ā€

Xue Qingyi picked up the handkerchief and wiped it, held it in the palm of his hand, and squinted his eyes as he looked at the bright sun in the sky, "Why is it so hot today!" I didn't think much of it before, but now the road to the palace of the concubine seems to be longer than usual. ā€

In the splendid palace, Xu Shutong was standing at the gate of the palace with a girl, waiting for a long time, but no one came. Regretting his anxiety, he complained a little: "Why hasn't the emperor come yet, let the mother bask in the sun at the door until now." ā€

Xu Shutong smiled clearly, the distance from the front hall is a little far away, the emperor listened to her words and walked, more than 200 catties of people, ordinary and not very walking, at this time I am only afraid of where to rest.

She asked Cun Xi to go to the imperial dining room to see, is the mung bean soup ready? If so, pinch the time to send it over. Then let the feather fan be ready, and the pity should be answered, and this will go.

Qiu Porcelain came out of the house, took a bowl of tea in his hand, and said, "Niangniang drink some tea first, I've been standing here for a long time." ā€

Xu Shutong took a few sips to moisten his throat, and then let Qiu Ci take it down. From afar, I saw the emperor's guard of honor, the mighty people, and the wide bright yellow dragon robe.

After a while, Xue Qingyi arrived.

Xu Shutong bowed down, "The concubine has seen the emperor." Her words are like a warbler out of the valley, and it makes people feel cool when they listen to it.

"Love the concubine is exempt." Xue Qingyi helped him weakly, snatched the handkerchief from Xu Shutong's hand, and wiped the sweat from his face, it was really hot today.

A group of people remained outside, leaving only a few to enter.

It is a pity that he had already let people serve mung bean soup and hand it to Xu Shutong, Xu Shutong sent it to Xue Qingyi's hands, and Yin Yin persuaded: "The emperor drinks a little mung bean soup to relieve fever." And he asked the maid to raise a feather fan.

Xue Qingyi snatched the bowl and drank it, and was fanned again, and really felt a lot more comfortable. Putting the bowl aside, someone had already taken it away, and he beckoned Xu Shutong to sit beside him, "Concubine Ai has worked hard for you." ā€

"The concubines are not hard, as long as the emperor is doing well."

"Don't blame me for being late, you also know that the DPRK has been shouting about the establishment of the queen every day recently, Shutong, do you say that I will make you the queen? They want a queen, and I will give them a queen. ā€

But Xu Shutong repeatedly excused himself, "Your Majesty, this matter can't be helped." ā€

It's amazing how many people are desperate. Xue Qingyi has mentioned this matter several times in the past few years, if it were someone else, he would hurry up and thank him, but this Xu Shutong is eccentric, these years, I like this concubine, and I don't do it if there is a queen;.

"Why?"

"The status of the concubine is low, where can she be a queen. It's hard to be a queen, and there are a lot of things to manage, where can you still have time to take care of the emperor's diet and daily life like now. Xu Shutong spoke eloquently, listening to her speak, just like reciting poetry, Xue Qingyi enjoyed it very much.

"Then as long as you are the queen, I don't want you to take care of things, okay?"

Good no good?

A figure appeared at the door at some point, and said in a deep voice: "Not good! ā€

Xue Qingyi and Xu Shutong both looked at the door, only to see someone coming in, and the grandmother, maid, and eunuch around them put all the way, except for the Queen Mother, who else?

When the Queen Mother entered the door, Xue Qingyi and Xu Shutong both got up to greet her. Xue Qingyi said: "Why does the queen mother have time to come over today?" ā€

The Queen Mother doesn't have a good face, she has never had a good face towards Xu Shutong, "If the mourning family doesn't come, you plan to make this woman the queen, right?" ā€

Xu Shutong didn't squeak or distinguish.

Xue Qingyi said: "Queen Mother, didn't I mean it before?" Why do you always disagree, what is wrong with Shutong, her concern for me, and her consideration for the harem, which woman can compare. Xue Qingyi was a little anxious, every time he stood up as soon as he talked about it, he would mysteriously pop out of his mother and stop him very strongly.

The Queen Mother just said a word softly, and Xue Qingyi admitted defeat. "She has nothing to show for her!"

Not having children is a woman's taboo, which can be said to be Xu Shutong's only shortcoming, of course, for the queen mother, Xu Shutong can be a concubine, but it is absolutely impossible to be a queen, because she is the person recommended by the emperor's eldest son, who knows what the emperor's eldest son is doing.

She is guarding against Xu Shutong, and she is also guarding against the emperor's eldest son.

Sure enough, hearing this, Xue Qingyi's momentum decreased a lot. He didn't understand, with his love for Xu Shutong, why couldn't he conceive a child?

Not only that, but his descendants are now desolate.

There is always some truth in his mother's words, and he can only keep up the good work. Sending the Queen Mother away, Xue Qingyi's meaning was obvious, "Concubine Ai, ...... tonight" He took her hand and gently rubbed the back of her hand, Xu Shutong smiled knowingly.

"I won't disappoint the emperor."

That night, Qun Yan tried his best to win the emperor's favor, Xue Qingyi sweated profusely, and shouted: "Shutong, Shutong......" Why does he think that every woman is Xu Guifei?

However, the pleasure of life makes him can't think of more, and he doesn't want to think more, in front of women, even if a man is strong, some things are unwilling to admit defeat.

Your Majesty, even more so!

Xu Shutong put down the bead curtain, glanced at the picturesque, lowered his eyes, and the emperor's interest was always so good. It's just that driving a few people overnight, plus eating well for a long time and not exercising, such a beautiful day, I'm afraid it can't be too long-lasting!

Cun regretted that he had already helped Xu Shutong out. Tonight, the concubine used other beauties to send the emperor away.

The room is filled with aromas, and the aroma has a pleasant sweetness. It can be seen that this sweetness is also poisonous, and it is not conducive to the conception of offspring for both men and women.
