Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Lady
"Let's go see your mother later! She's been talking about you all these days! As soon as the emperor mentioned Concubine Shu, he smiled, and the anger just now was swept away. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Okay, I'll go later." Duanmu Li looked at the emperor's few gray hairs, and said with concern: "Dad, you are not young anymore, usually be leisurely, don't fight so hard." ”
In this palace, the only wife recognized by the emperor was Concubine Shu, his son was only Duanmu Li, and the other women were just ornaments he married back in order to consolidate his position. He never really treated them, and he didn't care much about their children.
"If you are willing to take over my shift and promise to be the emperor in office, I can rest." The emperor brought up the old things again, and still said with some reluctance.
"Dad, I'm really not here. Isn't there still a big brother here, he's already the crown prince, just let me take it easy! Duanmu Li's bitter gourd face is as distorted as he wants, he really doesn't want to be tied to that position for the rest of his life, it seems that he controls the world, but in fact, he can't even do what he wants to do. Every day, there are piles of twists and turns waiting for him to deal with, as long as the behavior is a little inappropriate, he will be blamed by the ministers, as long as he makes a wrong will, he will be scolded by the world as a faint king. Let him live like this, he will definitely go crazy.
"That's it, I won't force you!" The emperor once again gave up on persuasion, and such a conversation was staged every few months.
"If you don't want to be the emperor, forget it, but I'm afraid he won't be able to tolerate you in the future, as a prince, many things are not up to you, it's not that you can be alone if you want to quit the fight."
"Big brother shouldn't do such a thing." Duanmu Li said this purely to comfort the emperor.
"Do you think he's simple? He was the Queen's son. Even if he can tolerate you, the queen may not be secretly attacked. Worry crept up on his face again.
"Dad, I know what I have to do, and if I really fight, I may not have the strength to fight back. Don't worry, I'm not a bully either. ”
"Okay, pay more attention to safety recently, the capital is too unquiet now!" It's time to be reminded, now that Li Er has already talked about this, he doesn't have to say much, it's a big deal for him to worry more and make more plans for his future!
"Okay, Dad, I still have to go see my mother, I'll go first, you can be busy!"
After Duanmu Li left, the emperor pondered for a while, this son really didn't let him worry! (The hearts of parents all over the world!) )
Secluded courtyard
At noon, the sun disperses the clouds that obscure it, and the sun shines on the earth. In the morning, some of the damp ground had already dried out, and the air had become a little hot, and I knew that I was screaming happily. The sun casts a thin light through the dense foliage, hitting the ground, the stars are dotted, a breeze blows, the leaves rustle, and the stars twinkle with the wind.
It's a somewhat remote yard and it's very secluded.
There was a woman sitting under the tree, as if thinking about something. The woman's appearance is not alluring, but it is also a small jasper. She is the concubine who has been in favor for twenty years.
The people in the palace have already changed many batches, and many people have disappeared forever within a month of entering the palace, but she has been living leisurely. Even if she is in the most inconspicuous corner of the palace, she always touches the emperor's heart.
Her courtyard is quiet and natural, and there are only five people in the service. But the shadows are full of shadow guards who are trusted by the emperor.
Those who enter the palace for the first time will definitely think that this is the residence of some disgraced concubine. However, this is the residence of the emperor's most favored concubine.
"Mother!" Duanmu Li called softly.
The person who sat quietly woke up from her contemplation, and the smile on her face instantly bloomed, and the flowers were eclipsed. She has a beautiful smile, her smile is a cure for heartache, a light for those who walk in darkness all year round, and a way to revive the desperate and vulnerable.
"Li'er, you're here! Come and let Wei Niang see if she has lost weight? "Her care comes naturally.
"No, mother, you love to worry about it, I'm not small."
"No matter how old you are, you're my child, how can I not worry about it." Concubine Shu looked at Duanmu Li lovingly: "Since you are here, accompany me well, and tell my mother, what have you been busy with lately?" ”
"I didn't do anything, I kept my duty." Duanmu Li suddenly remembered Xia Zimo, and his eyes lit up. "Mother, I recently met a very interesting child."
"What's so funny about him?" Concubine Shu also mentioned sexual interest to the child, her Li Er used to only mention Xu Tianfeng, but now she has mentioned other people, what kind of person is the child?
"Mother, can you trust a twelve or thirteen-year-old child to open a green building?" Duanmu Li said a little mysteriously.
Concubine Shu also leaked a different color: "Come and tell me about ......"
Baicaotang
Xia Zimo had lunch in Lichun Courtyard and went to Baicaotang. As soon as she entered the backyard, she saw a person she hadn't seen in a long time: "Clear sky, when did you arrive?" ”
It's been less than three days since she gave the order! That's a five-day journey!
"It arrived last night. The main hall master called, who dared not obey. Qing Air Conditioner smiled.
"Don't laugh at me, I've only been the master of the hall for a few days, and I haven't sat down yet! It's you, I haven't seen you for a few years, and you've become a lot more handsome! ”
"Of course, Xiao Mo has also grown a lot taller! I remember the last time we saw each other was three years ago! You're still drugged me! ”
"At that time, you had just taken office, and you came to report from the valley! At that time, you were black and skinny, and it scared me. ”
"Then I should thank you, thanks to your medicine to make me like this." Qingkong looked at his white skin and sighed, since taking her medicine, no matter how tanned his skin was, he couldn't get it back. When he first turned white, he was often regarded as a little white face by unwitting people, and even now, those guys in the building secretly called him "little white face"! Alas! There are joys and sorrows!
"How many people did you bring here?" Xia Zimo returned to his seriousness and asked seriously.
"Fifty, all elite." Speaking of this, Clear Sky is very proud, those are the talents he personally selected.
"Okay, so we should have the power to protect ourselves!"
In the past, the capital has been very smooth, and there has never been any major incident in the past twenty years, so there are not too many masters here to protect it.
"What about Cangqi? Why not here? Xia Zimo looked around and didn't find the person she was looking for.
"He just went out to look for you!" Xiaolan said.
"Did he say where to find me?"
"It seems to be going to the Jin Palace! Didn't the young master say that he was going to look for you there? ”
"I need to go back quickly." Xia Zimo was afraid that Cang Qi would say something that shouldn't be said: "Clear Sky Let the brothers relax first!" I don't think there will be a chance to relax anytime soon. ”
The smell of the air has changed these days. The storm is coming!
Xia Zimo explained before leaving: "If Cangqi comes back, let him go to the Jin Palace" to find me." ”
Xia Zimo hurriedly returned to the Jin Palace, and asked the guards guarding the door of the Jin Palace, "Who is looking for me today?" ”
"Hui Xia Gongzi, there was a person who claimed to be your subordinate just now." The guard replied respectfully.
"Where is he now?" Cangqi is really here! Xia Zimo's tone was a little anxious, and her brows furrowed slightly.
"It's not clear, he left as soon as I told him you weren't there."
It seems that he should have gone to Lichun Temple, she had taken him there. Xia Zimo breathed a sigh of relief and asked again, "Is the prince here?" ”
"No, I haven't come back since the prince entered the palace in the morning." The guard looked at Xia Zimo's somewhat anxious expression, and proposed, "Why don't you wait for the prince to come back, I'll go and inform you immediately?" ”
"No, it doesn't matter anyway." Xia Zimo frowned. Thinking that Cangqi couldn't find her in Lichun Courtyard, she should go back to Baicaotang, and she shouldn't have to worry about this.
Secluded courtyard
Duanmu Li and Concubine Shu chatted happily, and bursts of pleasant laughter rang out.
"Is he really as funny as you say?" Concubine Shu had a strong interest in Xia Mo in Duanmu Li's mouth.
"He's a lot more interesting than I say." Duanmu Li swore and said.
"I've heard so much about him that I'd like to meet him." At a young age, Li Qingyuan and Zhong Lixue, these two eccentric people can work for him, this person must be extraordinary, if he can win him over, Xuanyuan Kingdom will definitely add a big help.
Concubine Shu can be after this. Standing out among the three thousand beauties of the palace, she has been pampered for 20 years, and she must have something extraordinary. Although after . The palace is not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the court, but it does not prevent her from whispering to the emperor. She is naturally sensitive to the changes around her, which has allowed her to avoid many crises, and she has also relied on this ability to help the emperor come up with many ideas.
It's not very peaceful now, and one more friend will give you one more chance of surviving, and one more chance of winning. She has to think about the man she loves.
"Mother, I'll take him into the palace in a few days to show you!" Duanmu Li also wanted to introduce Xiaomo to the people closest to him, he didn't know why he had this idea, if he really wanted to investigate, he could only say that it was instinct.
"How's that kid doing?" Concubine Shu said with concern. Because of Duanmu Li's relationship, both the emperor and the concubine were very kind to Xu Tianfeng, and the general's mansion also benefited at the same time.
"He's busy training all day now......"
They were chatting so happily that before they knew it, the sky was flushed.
Seeing that it was not early, Concubine Shu said to Duanmu Li: "Li'er, I don't think it's early, let's stay in the palace today." ”
"No, mother, Xiaomo is living with me now, I don't feel at ease to leave him alone in the house." Duanmu Li politely refused.
"Okay, then you can go back. Be careful on the road, the capital has not been very peaceful recently. Concubine Shu sensitively noticed the recent changes in the capital, although the emperor didn't tell her anything, but in the past few days, the shadow guards responsible for protecting her have increased several times.
"Mother, I know this, in this palace, you should pay more attention, after all, this is the most dangerous place - cannibalism never spits out bones."
"You don't have to worry about this, your father will protect me."
Speaking of this, Concubine Shu smiled very sweetly, she has been living peacefully under the protection of the emperor for twenty years. She had always believed that he would protect her, and the facts proved that her trust in him was not wrong.
