"Your Majesty, you have won again!" In the Nanxun Palace, the emperor and the queen are playing chess. The first game had just ended, and the queen was busy congratulating the emperor.

The emperor squinted his eyes slightly and looked at the chessboard, "I have won again, every time I play chess with the queen, I can always win a chess piece and a half, it seems that I am a step ahead in chess!" ”

A queen's maid walked in, with a bowl of hot soup on a tray in her hand.

stepped forward and saluted.

The queen picked up the hot soup and looked at the emperor gently, "Your Majesty, you see that the weather is getting colder and colder, this is the bird's nest porridge stewed by the imperial concubine and the imperial kitchen. Come to the emperor, and the concubines serve the emperor to drink. ”

The emperor's rich eyes stared at the queen for a moment, and in an instant, he became amiable.

"My queen has a lot of thoughts, how can I not appreciate it! Come, let me taste it, does it taste good? ”

After the emperor finished speaking, he took the bird's nest porridge and tasted it.

Watching the emperor savor carefully, the queen seemed to be waiting for the opportunity, snooping, scrutinizing, in order to get it just right.

In the blink of an eye, the emperor had finished drinking.

The queen took the bowl and placed it on the tray of the maid, her slender white hands and her graceful manners.

"Your Majesty, how's it going?"

"The queen really has a heart! This bird's nest porridge is indeed a little different, it seems to be a little different from the previous imperial chef's cooking, I can't tell what the difference is, I just think it's delicious! ”

The queen smiled gently, "This is made by the new cook in the palace, and the concubine also drank it once by chance, because she felt that the taste was unique and nourished her body, the concubine thought that the emperor read hard every day, so the concubine had the courage to send this bird's nest porridge to the emperor." Since the emperor thinks it's delicious, do you want another bowl? ”

"No need! Good things should be tasted lightly, and eating too much will only backfire! Queen, what a bother! ”

The emperor looked at his queen, as if he was exploring something and guarding against something.

The queen's face was gentle, "What the emperor said is true!" A beautiful thing lies in a rarity, if you eat more and see more, it will become an ordinary thing, and if it becomes a worldly thing, it will not be a beautiful thing. ”

"How have you slept well these days? I see if your bad complexion is caused by excessive grief! The general left suddenly, I was also very sad, the general has won countless battles, Siyi heard the name of the general and was also frightened, there is a general guarding the frontier, the blessing of the Tang Dynasty, the blessing of the people! ”

"It's just a pity that my old brother is loyal to the king and the country, and he doesn't want to go in such a hurry. The concubines are still in sorrow, and it is difficult to calm down. ”

The queen's face was gloomy, and she almost wanted to shed tears.

"Don't be too sad, the queen should not be too sad, I will send the imperial doctor to prescribe a few pairs of calming medicines for the queen, and after a long time, it will be fine!"

The queen took out a gentle scarf and wiped the corners of her eyes, "Concubine Xie Emperor!" ”

Glancing at the emperor, "Your Majesty, the concubine has something to say, I want to tell the emperor!" ”

"Queen, please speak!"

"Your Majesty, since the death of my brother, the Far Eastern Army has been without a commander, if it continues like this for a long time, the army's spirit will be shaken, and it may not be a good thing for the imperial court at that time. The emperor, Jiayan grew up with the emperor since he was a child, and has always been loyal, for this child's character, the emperor knows more than the concubines, if the emperor can give Jiayan a chance, it will be a good thing for our Tang Dynasty, the emperor. ”

Guo Nuan, who was in charge of the Far Eastern Army, died suddenly, for the queen, it was like losing an arm, and the queen herself wanted to take this opportunity to support her nephew to inherit his father's business, so that she would have one more assistant in the military, and she could also make a draw with King Shu's forces, intending to seek later.

How could the queen be willing to let go of such an opportunity.

The emperor's deep eyes are like a bottomless pool, "Queen, you are really considerate, you have always been thinking about me, and you are thinking deeply about my Tang Dynasty!" ”

The queen looked at it and pondered, "Your Majesty, in terms of talent and morality, Jiayan is not inferior to those respected old generals. If Jiayan hadn't been trained by the emperor since he was a child, how could he have today's talent and virtue, thanks to the emperor's hard work. accompanied day and night, and Jiayan was even more loyal to the emperor. ”

"Queen!"

The emperor interrupted the queen's words, "Jiayan, this kid, I like it very much, he is chivalrous and courageous, and he stands out among generals in terms of military strategy." Queen, family affairs are family affairs, and state affairs are state affairs. There are some things that have to be brought to the top of the main hall and discussed by those ministers, even I, the Ninety-Five, can not do everything. Queen, do you say yes? Queen, accompany me to play another game of chess, and don't talk about other things. ”

With that, the emperor began to take out the chess pieces and prepare to set them up.

The queen suppressed all her anger with silence, and it was just the beginning, how could she lose this game.

The queen took out the chess pieces and began to accompany the emperor to play chess.
