Just when the emperor was lying on the dragon bed and was distracted, a eunuch gently walked up to him and replied: "Your Majesty, the Qiucai people are here, waiting outside." ”

The emperor raised his head slightly, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said, "Let her in." ”

The eunuch received the order, and after a short time, Qiu Cairen slowly walked to the emperor's bed alone with a small food box.

"What about the palace servants who serve you? How do you carry it yourself? The Emperor said a little strangely.

Qiucai people tied a flowing cloud bun today, with only a white hosta on their heads, lined with a porcelain-white face, a light green palace dress, and a yellow juan veil as thin as cicada wings.

After listening to the emperor's words, she smiled on her face, put down the food box gently, saluted the emperor, and said: "It's not a heavy thing, I'm afraid that they will spill the soup with their hands and feet, and the emperor won't be able to taste my craftsmanship." ”

"You made me soup?" The Emperor asked with a smile on his face.

Qiu Cai people know that in this harem, I don't know how many women are in the emperor's house, and the means are naturally varied, and there are not a few people who personally wash their hands and make soup, but the same thing, in different backgrounds and environments, often achieve different results.

"Your Majesty works hard day and night, and the concubine can't help much, so I specially learned from the old lady in the palace to boil a night of resting soup for Your Majesty, I heard that it can calm the nerves, and I don't know if it works, if it works, the concubine body will be boiled for Your Majesty every day."

Qiu Cairen said as he carefully took the rest soup out of the food box.

I slowly removed the lid from the soup bowl, took the spoon and scooped it into my mouth and tasted it. "It's just right, it's warm," she said, scooping a spoonful and putting it to the emperor's mouth, "It's a little better than those medicinal soups." ”

The emperor lowered his head and tasted it, and couldn't help but praise: "The taste is fresh and delicious, I didn't expect you to have this craft." ”

"Since it is delicious, the emperor will drink more, and after drinking, he will have a good rest, according to the concubines, the emperor is not sick. It's just that you need to rest. Qiu Cairen said and scooped another spoonful and put it to the emperor's mouth.

So. After a short time, the emperor drank the whole bowl of soup, and said with great satisfaction: "It's really good." ”

Qiu Cai stood up and pulled the back of the emperor's back. Hold the Emperor by the shoulders and lay him flat. smiled: "The emperor rests." The concubine is guarding by the side, and you will wake up refreshed. ”

"Okay, if I can sleep peacefully. You'll be rewarded heavily! The Emperor closed his eyes as he spoke.

At the beginning, the emperor still opened his eyes from time to time to look at the Qiucai people sitting on the edge of the bed, and gradually his eyelids were heavy, and he fell asleep after a while.

After the emperor fell asleep, Qiu Cairen put the emperor's exposed arm into the thin quilt, and looked at him quietly with a calm face.

The emperor slept for nearly three hours, without dreaming of anyone, nor waking up from his dream, and when he woke up, it was already Shen Shi in the afternoon.

He slowly opened his eyes and saw Qiu Cairen sitting in front of her bed, dozing off with one hand on his chin, in his opinion, Qiu Cairen at this time was so cute and cute.

Qiucai is only sixteen years old this year, more than thirty years younger than the emperor, if it weren't for the palace, they would be two generations at all.

The emperor sat up slowly, and was about to reach out to touch Qiu Cairen's little face, Qiu Cairen seemed to feel something, wiped the saliva that was about to be left at the corner of his mouth, and opened his eyes.

"Your Majesty, are you awake, are you sleeping well?"

The Emperor pointed outside and smiled, "You see, the sun has set in the west, and I have been sleeping since the morning, which has never happened in these days, thanks to your resting soup." ”

Qiu Cairen smiled and said, "As long as the emperor can rest well, it will be our blessing." ”

While they were talking, the eunuch came in and replied, "Your Majesty, Lord Zuo asks to see you!" ”

Qiu Cairen was slightly stunned, and immediately bowed to the emperor and said, "The concubine retires!" ”

The emperor didn't say anything on his face, but there was a look of displeasure on his face, and said, "Let him come in!" ”

Qiu Cairen lowered his head and walked forward, just opposite to Zuo Ni who came in.

"Xia Guan has seen the little master!" Zone gave a salute to Qiucairen.

Qiu Cairen's face did not change and returned the salute, "Hello Lord Zuo!" After speaking, he hurriedly left the Heart Cultivation Palace.

Zuo Nie came with a lot of worries, so naturally he didn't pay much attention to the autumn talents, and after seeing the ceremony, he hurried to the emperor.

"Your Majesty save me!" As soon as they met, Zuo Ni knelt down and gave a big salute to the emperor.

The emperor lifted the thin quilt on his body and got off the bed, and the eunuch hurriedly put on a cloak engraved with gold silk embroidered with double dragons and pearls from behind.

"Now that the prince is in charge of the country, there is something that can't be reported directly to the prince, but he comes to bother me." The emperor said with some impatience.

Zuo Nizhan kowtowed tremblingly, and said, "Your Majesty, what the minister wants to say is the matter of the prince?" ”

The emperor's face changed, and he said, "What's wrong with the crown prince?" Could it be that the crown prince has done something inappropriate, or are you dissatisfied with the prince's imprisonment? ”

"The minister doesn't dare, the minister doesn't dare!" Hearing this, Zuo Ne kowtowed repeatedly, "Yes, it seems that the crown prince wants to investigate the murder of the king of Chu ten years ago when someone participated in the impeachment of Weichen last time," after he said this, he stopped talking, just knelt on the ground and waited for the emperor's reaction.

After hearing this, the emperor paced slowly a few steps and said, "How do you know?" ”

Zuo Nie saw that he couldn't hide, so he had to bite the bullet and say in order to survive: "Dissatisfied with the emperor, there were a few fish that slipped through the net, and the minister has been secretly looking for it all these years, and finally found one some time ago, the guy has changed his name and surname, and he got married and had children, but he couldn't escape the eyes of the minister, and was killed by the minister, his case has been closed, but the prince doesn't know who he listened, and he wants to reiterate this case, if the prince really knows the identity of the guy, what should Weichen do?" Please also make it clear! ”

After listening to his words, the emperor scolded fiercely: "What a fool, the past is over, just like the sediment that has sunk to the bottom of the lake, as long as you don't stir it up, who will mention these old things again, the more it is mixed, the more muddy it is, it is really stupid." ”

"The minister should die, I hope your majesty will forgive your sins......" After listening to the emperor's words, Zuo Ne couldn't help but kowtow and confess his guilt.

"That's it!" The emperor was annoyed by his quarrel, and reprimanded: "You go down first, and wait for me to think about it." ”

Zone wanted to say something, but in the end he was so frightened that he didn't say anything, and retreated out of the Heart Cultivation Palace.

After Zuo Ni walked for a short time, someone reported that Cining Palace had sent someone over.

The emperor was busy passing in.

After someone came in, the emperor saw that it was the old lady beside the queen mother, and couldn't help but wonder a little and asked, "But what is the important thing for the queen mother to send her son to do?" ”

The old lady who came to pass the word said: "The queen mother heard that the emperor had assigned the prince of Chu a marriage, and sent the old slave to ask if there was such a thing?" ”

When the emperor heard this, he was suddenly surprised, and hurriedly said: "There is such a thing, this matter happened suddenly, and the matter of the marriage is purely helpless, I am about to send someone to tell the queen mother." ”

When he said this, he thought for a while and said, "I am in good health today, and I want to go out for a walk, so I simply go to Cining Palace for a walk, and personally explain the ins and outs of this matter to the queen mother." ”

The old lady smiled: "This is the best! ”

After the emperor arrived at Cining Palace, the queen mother was sulking alone, and when she saw the emperor standing in front of her, she was stunned at first, and her face suddenly softened: "The emperor's body is better?" I look very energetic today. ”

"Mother Lao is worried, her son's illness has improved a lot, and today I came here from the Heart Cultivation Palace." The emperor said with a smile.

The Queen Mother was also happy when she heard this, "I'd rather be better this time, otherwise the mourning family will be suspenseful for you every day." ”

As he spoke, he took the emperor's hand and pulled him to sit opposite him.

The emperor saw that the queen mother was happy at this time, so he told the queen mother about Rong Yi's matter, and said: "This is also a matter of no way, you can't let him ruin the reputation of other girls in vain, in the end he is responsible."

Although this incident happened in the palace and may not spread to the people, there is no impermeable wall, and if the children of the Liu family do not marry Rong Yi, it will be difficult to find a mother-in-law in the future.

You also know Rong Yi's temperament, if I don't give him marriage, he will definitely be like a normal person, but he just ruined the reputation of the Liu family's children in vain, didn't the queen mother say?

He still pushes three blocks and fours, if it weren't for me forcing me to really beat a bachelor for a lifetime. ”

"I've let you say everything, what else is there to say about the mourning family, it's just that Xiuzhen's child is suffering, if it weren't for Rong Yi, he could have found a good in-law's family, but now he can only follow a merchant, crazy all day long, not like a person."

Xiuzhen said in the mouth of the queen mother is the granddaughter of her maiden brother Xiao Renxin, who was ruined by Rong Yi that day, and spread to the city full of wind and rain, and the emperor also wanted to give marriage at that time, but Rong Yi didn't want Xiao Xiuzhen to live or die, and finally even went to the temple to be a monk, saying that he wanted to be the first senior monk of the royal family, and was reprimanded by the emperor.

However, in the end, this marriage was not completed, and Xiao Xiuzhen finally married a merchant.

The Queen Mother has always been worried about this, and today she heard that the emperor had pointed out Rong Yi's marriage again, and she had already made a holy decree, and she was immediately annoyed.

Then he ordered someone to go to the emperor for questioning.

After listening to the emperor's words just now, the queen mother's anger has disappeared by half, and seeing that the emperor is looking very good today, he doesn't want to make trouble for him anymore, so he said: "After pointing to the marriage, I will order Rong Lu to handle it well, and let him get married this morning, and also accept his temperament." ”

The emperor hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, the queen mother said yes." ”

After appeasing the Empress Dowager in this way, the emperor left the Cining Palace.

After a short time, almost the entire capital knew that Liu Yushi's niece was assigned to marry Rong Yi, the prince of the king of Chu, and the city was full of storms for a while.

However, almost no one is optimistic about this marriage, but those who have daughters at home are relieved, and they don't need their daughters to be worried as soon as they go out.

And Liufu became an embarrassing deposit.

The officials in the capital now dare not offend the Liu Mansion, let alone approach the Liu Mansion, so that Liu Jialu sits at home all day long, and almost does not go out, and the Shi family sighs all day long.

Liu Ke, Liu Ming, and Liu Feng finally discussed moving out.

Just as they were about to leave, they were stopped. (To be continued......)
