In the study, the emperor was reading a recital. There was a thick stack on the desk. When the emperor was still happy after reading a memo, he opened another memora but his face became gloomy, and after several copies, the emperor's face became even heavier.

Chen Gonggong was on the side, looking at the emperor, carefully looking for an opportunity to comfort the emperor.

Qing'er also came in for a while, holding a porcelain plate in her hand, and in the porcelain plate was the afternoon tea prepared for the emperor.

was just afraid of disturbing the emperor, so he quietly stood aside and didn't dare to move.

The emperor's expression did not improve at all.

On the contrary, it became more and more dignified.

Suddenly, the emperor coughed a few times, and even his sigh became weaker.

Gonggong Chen hurriedly stepped forward, as if he wanted to ask for something.

I saw that the emperor waved his hand slightly and stopped Gonggong Chen's words.

Gonggong Chen was like nailed there, not daring to move, and even his expression became more sensitive and subtle.

Qing'er looked at the old man who was the emperor.

He was much thinner, and the clothes she wore last year that fit her body looked so empty this year; His expression became more and more haggard, and he was no longer as good as when he saw him last year; His breath was even more weak.

I don't know why, Qing'er suddenly had a very deep sadness in her heart, maybe it was the retention and reluctance of this old man.

"Your Majesty, the tea is getting cold. Warm up with a cup of tea. ”

I don't know where the courage came from.

Qing'er suddenly stepped forward.

Gonggong Chen was shocked by Qing'er's sudden influx.

For a while, he stared at Qing'er in a daze.

What Gonggong Chen didn't expect was where this little woman got the courage.

Dare to arrange for the emperor to come, it's been so long, have you forgotten this most basic rule?

Don't you know that this is a taboo in the palace?

The emperor's gaze slowly moved away from the fold, and his sharp gaze fell on Qing'er.

Qing'er, who lowered her head slightly, bumped into the emperor's cold gaze, and suddenly shuddered in her heart, not knowing what to do.

"Your Majesty, Qing'er, she is too bold. Disturbed the emperor's reading. ”

Gonggong Chen smiled and stepped forward, "Your Majesty, you see, Miss Qing'er also cares about our emperor, and I'm afraid that our emperor will work too hard to read the folds." ”

Qing'er's head was very low, for fear of touching the emperor's dragon power again.

The emperor's face was still majestic and terrifying just now, and when he heard Gonggong Chen say that, he stared at Qing'er for a while, and after a while, he became amiable.

The emperor frowned, smiled slightly, and put down the fold in his hand, "Qing'er, bring the tea." I'm really thirsty. ”

Qing'er walked over gently, her head bowed very low.

But I can still feel that the emperor's sharp gaze is staring at Qing'er.

I don't know why, Qing'er suddenly felt that this gaze was very special.

It's not the kind of eyes that ordinary emperors look at when they love themselves.

The emperor picked up the tea, took a few sips, and closed the lid.

It's just that his eyes have been staring at Qing'er, and this kind of gaze makes Qing'er feel inexplicably resistant.

The emperor seemed to recall something far away, and even his eyes became solemn, and he let out a long sigh, as if the dusty past of history was a heavy pain in his heart.

Turning to look at Gonggong Chen beside him, "Gonggong Chen, do you think Qing'er looks like a person?" ”

Father-in-law Chen suddenly seemed to realize something, and looked at Qing'er lightly.

Suddenly, he smiled slightly, and smiled so kindly, "Your Majesty, Qing'er, like the old slave, has always been by the emperor's side, and after a long time, the old slave didn't feel anything abnormal." Your Majesty, are you tired, do you want to rest for a while? Why do you have to approve so many twists and turns, such a big stack of high, even the old slave is afraid when he sees it. ”

"Because you're a minion, you know what. This is all the business of the imperial court, and there must be no negligence! ”

The emperor scolded Gonggong Chen while smiling.

"If these major court events are really negligent, I don't know how many lives will be lost. That's why I work tirelessly. If I really leave these things to you, I won't make a fuss. ”

"The old slave is a cheap slave, and he has no ability, as long as our emperor doesn't feel annoyed when he sees the old slave, it is the honor of the old slave."

As Chen Gonggong spoke, he leaned up to beat the emperor's back.

"You! Old! I'm used to you! ”

The emperor smiled.

The two of them scolded and smiled.

It seems that this is the tacit understanding between the emperor and the minions, and it is also a way of entertainment between the master and the servant.

Gonggong Chen is deeply liked by the emperor, after all, he is not an ordinary minion, his wisdom, knowledge, and loyalty to the emperor, and the master and servant have long been accustomed to each other's kindness for more than ten years.

Even so, Gonggong Chen was still cautious as when he first entered the palace, for fear that every wrong step would lead to death, after all, he was not serving an ordinary master.

Seeing the two of them happy, Qing'er was happy for a while.

It seems that the emperor's interest today is still good, and the matter of the victims has come to fruition.

Otherwise, if it had been placed a few days ago, even if Gong Chen tried his best, he would not have been able to win the emperor's slightest pleasure.

The emperor smiled and coughed a few times.

Maybe it's too much of a laugh.

Gonggong Chen looked at the emperor worriedly.

The emperor waved his hand and smiled, "I do feel happy today, but I don't feel happy. ”

"Is it the old slave who upsets our emperor?"

Gonggong Chen said, "If the old slave does something wrong, although the emperor punishes him, don't have any scruples." The old slave has no other ability, even if he has thick skin, it is okay to whip him hard, as long as our emperor can be happy. The old slave gave up everything. ”

"You know that I am reluctant, and you deliberately tease me, don't you?"

The emperor smiled, "I see that you are indeed thick-skinned, and your skin is thicker." ”

Looking at the recital on the table, the emperor sighed, but this sigh was even comfortable and worrying.

"I didn't expect this King Guangling to really come up with a trick for me. Unexpectedly, in just three days, I solved the matter I was worried about. It's a good idea. So many courtiers in the entire court, after thinking about it for more than a month, they didn't think of any practical solution, which disappointed me and gave me a headache, but I didn't expect that King Guangling, the third prince of me, would solve all the problems with a strange plan. He is worthy of being my son. ”

Qing'er can see it clearly.

The emperor praised King Guangling with pride, he was very proud of his son, and he was also happy that his son could come up with a solution to the problem.

At this time, the emperor is clearly an old man, an ordinary old man who loves his son and is proud of his son.

Perhaps, in the emperor's heart, he loves his son very much, but the dragon chair under him complicates the relationship between their close father and son.

Perhaps, life is like this, when you try your best to climb to the commanding heights and look back, you find that even the people you used to be closest to are no longer what they used to be, and they are getting farther and farther away from yourself.

Gonggong Chen said, "The old slave also thinks that King Guangling's plan is good. The happiest thing about the old slave is that in less than three days, the emperor can sleep and look better and better. As long as he thinks that the emperor no longer has to worry, the old slave's heart is steady and happy. ”

"Let the refugees who have fled to Jiangsu and Zhejiang selectively grab food under the leadership of people with hearts. The problem of refugees who fled to the land of Jiangsu and Zhejiang was solved, so that the imperial court only needed to allocate some food to appease the refugees who were guarding their homeland. It's a good idea. The refugees who fled to the land of Jiangsu and Zhejiang were solved. ”

As the emperor spoke, his frown gradually tightened.

"It's just that I'm in trouble."

"Your Majesty, isn't this major worry solved, and the rest are trivial."

Gonggong Chen smiled and said, gently hammering the emperor's back, "The others are all petty fights, and they can't make any famous noise." The emperor doesn't have to worry. ”

"Don't worry?"

The emperor smiled coldly, "I'm afraid that there will be more things to worry about in the future." These rich and unkind magnates, relatives of the emperor, and wealthy businessmen in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are not fuel-efficient lamps. Look at all these recitals on the table, they are all for me to ask for an explanation. They actually joined forces to force me, which is really lawless. What do they think of me, three-year-olds? ”

"Your Majesty, where do they dare, even if they are given ten dares, they don't dare."

Gonggong Chen comforted.

"Ten dares?"

The emperor's expression was solemn, "I think they have a hundred guts, a thousand guts, and they actually joined forces to force me, it seems that they really think I am a bully." When the court was in trouble, they took so much food from them, and they couldn't be angry. They also don't want to think about it, if there is no stability in the imperial court, how can they have the opportunity to loot the people's fat and ointment, and then they have the opportunity to make a fortune in business. When it is critical, is it difficult for them to contribute a little to the court? They don't want to think that the skin will be attached without hair? What a bunch of fools. ”

"That's what the emperor said. They don't want to think that the whole world is not the king's land, the whole world is the emperor's, and the emperor can take whatever he wants. ”

Chen Gong is fair.

"Your Majesty, let's ignore them, it is estimated that they will not toss for a few days, and they will be out of gas. When I ran out of gas, I calmed down. ”

The emperor's solemn expression became gentle, and he smiled slightly, "What you slave said is also reasonable, how they like to make trouble, how to make trouble, I just ignore them." It is estimated that the trouble will disappear in a few days. ”

"That's what the emperor said!"

Chen Gonggong agreed.
