Chapter 777: Return to the City II
The ship returning to Beijing was a warship dedicated to the Jiangnan Navy Division, and there were two warships, one large and one small, and the ship was escorted by 200 sailors.
The emperor's travel is naturally a major event, and safety is also necessary. An Dingbo specially dispatched a hundred masters from the Jiangnan Navy Division to escort the emperor back to the capital.
Wan Gonggong is very satisfied with An Dingbo's arrangement, which saves Wan Gonggong a lot of trouble, although the placement of a qiē on the ship is simpler, but special treatment under special circumstances, you can't dismantle the warship and change it into a dragon boat for the emperor! Not to mention the cost of money, there is not enough time!
Nangong Ming asked people to place a rocking chair on the splint for Concubine Wu to rest. Concubine Wu is used to enjoying the lake and mountains on the splint, and the mood of the return trip is different from that when she came, the scenery is not very different.
Nangong Ming felt that the landscape was more beautiful and moving. Concubine Wu felt that the speed of the return boat was too fast.
Originally, the speed of the warship was naturally faster than that of ordinary boats, but Concubine Wu didn't want to return to Beijing so quickly.
Returning to the palace, back to a group of women, looking at Nangong Ming's room with those women, Concubine Wu didn't feel it before, but now she feels very uncomfortable.
Nangong Ming looked at the depressed Concubine Wu, and didn't understand why she was unhappy for a while, and she didn't dare to ask. I'm afraid of asking the result I don't want to know, and I feel uncomfortable at that time.
So it is usually Concubine Wu who enjoys the scenery alone, and the emperor either accompanies him on the side, or goes into the ship to work. Sometimes the two also chatted for a word or two, but Concubine Wu chatted and chatted, and then stopped talking.
Even when I heard that Qingyan liked the king, the two were like-minded and were discussing the engagement after returning to Beijing, but Concubine Wu did not cheer up.
Nangong Ming was busy dealing with the excerpts sent by the capital urgently, so he was really busy along the way. Several large boxes of excerpts must be processed as much as possible, and Nangong Ming Chengtian is still busy processing excerpts the most.
didn't have much time to think about Concubine Wu's affairs, but Nangong Ming believed that as long as Concubine Wu promised her own things, even if she couldn't fully accept herself in her heart, she would accompany her.
Concubine Wu looked at Qing Yan with an excited face, with a faint smile on her face, "The family affair between you and the king will be the master of the palace for you, you serve the palace for a while, and you have a meritorious role in saving the palace." How can I say that this palace will also let you marry in a beautiful way, and let you out of the palace in advance. ”
Qing Yan was not embarrassed: "Then thank you Concubine Wu." It's just that the mother should also relax, there is the emperor in the palace to accompany her, and she will definitely not let the mother be wronged. Qing Yan was also very worried when she saw Concubine Wu listless.
Concubine Wu Wan'er smiled: "You girl is still worried about your wedding dress!" The wedding dress embroidered by your craft must not be eye-catching, or the palace will ask the embroidery girl in the palace to help you prepare, you just mean to embroider a few stitches. ”
Qingyan nodded, grateful, being able to wear the wedding dress embroidered in the palace, that is a great dignity, and the things that come out of the palace may not be seen by ordinary people.
"Niangniang is so kind, but Niangniang, you should also be happy, why do you seem to be unhappy when you heard that you are going back to Beijing, is it possible that you don't want to go back to the palace?"
Concubine Wu sighed helplessly, and also regarded Qingyan as her own, "I just don't want to deal with those concubines in the palace, and now that I'm back in the palace, I'm afraid I'll have to fight with them again." Just thinking about it gives me a terrible headache! ”
Qing Yan understands that there are indeed many things in this palace, even if you don't go out, as long as you are favored, there will be people who will change their ways to calculate you. is as deeply popular as Concubine Wu Niangniang, who is so deeply loved by the emperor, I am afraid that it is not a problem.
"Niangniang, you just have too little temperament, why don't you look away. Those people just can't see that the emperor only favors you, so they are jealous of you and want you to fall out of favor.
If you want to have a good time, just go back and just slap the emperor tightly. Let some people only have jealousy and be in a hurry. ”
Concubine Wu smiled faintly, but she didn't expect this girl Qingyan to say such a thing. "You still don't understand!"
Qing Yan looked puzzled, "It's because I don't understand, so the slave maid has been unwillingly in the harem, but fortunately I can meet a good master like you."
Although the king was not very good-looking, he was a very good man, and he said that he would only marry a slave and a maid, and the slave and maid were happy when they heard it. ”
"This palace also thinks that the emperor only has one woman in this palace, but this palace can't do it itself, so how can I ask the emperor?"
Concubine Wu finished speaking softly, and smiled helplessly. Since he is in the Emperor's House, there are some things that Nangong Ming can control.
Just like at the beginning, he had to let go of himself in order to get revenge, in order to get more.
Now that he is laboriously with himself, laboriously bargaining with the empress dowager, this sincerity is no longer the emperor's affection for the concubine, and he should be content.
"What about the emperor?" Concubine Wu said lightly.
"I'm afraid that the emperor is dealing with the excerpts sent by Beijing, and the slave and maid heard from the king, but how many boxes are there? I'm afraid that the emperor won't be empty all the way! ”
Concubine Wu got up, "This palace wants to go and see the emperor!" Qingyan, you don't have to follow, go to the king to talk to the king, and when you return to the palace, you won't have so many opportunities to meet. ”
Qingyan blushed and nodded, knowing that this was Niangniang's kindness. Even if the king proposes marriage immediately after entering the palace, he will have to wait for a month or two when he marries out of the palace, which is already the fastest.
I have to eliminate my slavery first, change from a palace maid to an ordinary woman, and then I can marry the king, and I must not marry from the palace, and I must buy a residence outside the palace.
Only the princess and the county lord are married from the palace, how can there be a palace maid.
The Empress Dowager is very satisfied, the emperor is still very obedient to her own words, this time the emperor is already on the road, and the emperor should return to the palace in half a month.
It just so happened that the palace of nourishing the heart had been cleaned up for half a month, and the emperor had come back, so he could rest.
The news that the emperor and Concubine Wu returned to the palace together immediately spread throughout the harem like wings, and the palace concubines had not heard any news about the emperor for too long.
I was worried that the emperor might not return to Beijing until a year ago, but I didn't expect the emperor to be on his way.
Thinking that they would be able to see the emperor in half a month, the women in the harem tossed that face one by one. Even what makeup and what clothes the emperor wore on the day he returned to the palace began to be revealed.
And because the emperor was no longer there, the deserted harem began to slowly become lively. When the concubines asked the Empress Dowager again, they all looked eager, and they all wanted to get the Empress Dowager's advice, so that they could have the opportunity to serve the emperor at that time.
After the emperor returned to the palace, the first thing he did was naturally to accompany the queen mother, as long as he was ranked in the queen mother's place, he didn't have to worry about serving the emperor.
Unfortunately, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment! R1152
