Chapter 396: The Crime of Bullying the King
"Qing'er, what nonsense are you talking about? No one said anything to the queen, we didn't have time to say anything, she was like that. "The Emperor Taishang is also a little angry.
His seventh prince, such an excellent son, questioned him as a father like this for a woman, although he couldn't deny that this woman was indeed a very good woman, and this woman also saved his life, but it didn't mean that he could tolerate his son questioning himself like this.
The Emperor also heard that the Emperor Taishang was a little angry, and he changed his words to a lighter one: "Oh, that's when my son heard that his grandfather and great-grandmother were going to let another woman snatch his father, and he was in a hurry!" ”
"Qing'er, what are you talking nonsense?" The Emperor said, "These are two unrelated things at all! ”
"I don't care, anyway, don't tell me about choosing a concubine, don't say that I'm annoyed when I hear it, and my children don't like it!" The emperor said strongly.
This throne is not uncommon for him, if he is the emperor, he has to be led by the nose and let his beloved woman be wronged, then this emperor is not right.
When the Emperor and the Empress Dowager saw the emperor like that, although they wanted to say something, they saw that the emperor had ignored them, walked straight to Cheng Xi's side, and asked the imperial doctor: "Imperial Doctor Liu, what's wrong with the queen?" ”
Imperial Doctor Liu had just taken the pulse of the queen, and when he saw the emperor, he hurriedly saluted, and the emperor waved his hand and said, "You don't have to do these false courtesies, you tell me directly, what's wrong with the queen?" ”
"Back to the emperor, the queen mother is not a big problem, but the queen mother's pulse is a little unstable, probably because she has been too tired recently, she needs to take care of the fetus with peace of mind, not too tired, not stimulated." Imperial Doctor Liu said, "The queen's body is a little weak, and Weichen prescribes a few pairs of fetal pills for the queen's mother, and it will be good to recuperate for a while." ”
"Okay, you take care of the queen's body, you must keep their mother and son safe for me, what medicine is needed, just use it, what is not in the treasury, just tell me, I will definitely find a way." The emperor said.
Seeing Imperial Physician Liu leave, the emperor said to the palace maids: "Come on, carry the queen back to Weiyang Palace, Imperial Doctor Liu's medicine is decocted, and it will also be sent to Weiyang Palace." ”
"Qing'er, the queen is weak, let's not move her!" The Empress Dowager persuaded.
Even if she is not anxious about Cheng Xi, she is also anxious about the child in her belly, she has also heard that Cheng Xi's birth is a prince, so when she saw Cheng Xi's painful expression just now, she was really shocked, and now she still has palpitations.
"Imperial grandmother, you don't have to worry, you are not far from Weiyang Palace, and it won't be anything wrong to carry it, so it's better to let the queen go back to her bedroom and raise the baby with peace of mind." The emperor said.
And his last sentence was meaningful, which meant to secretly warn the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager that the Empress was still pregnant! Don't make some things all day long, so that she can't raise the baby with peace of mind.
In a word, it made the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager a little embarrassed, these days, the Empress is indeed a little tired because of the needle and detoxification for the Empress Dowager, and they are indeed a little unkind when it comes to choosing a concubine.
The two looked at each other for a moment, and then said nothing more.
The emperor watched the palace maids carry Cheng Xi back to Weiyang Palace, and also left the Empress Dowager's palace and went to Weiyang Palace.
Watching the palace maid put Cheng Xi on her phoenix bed, the emperor waved his hand and said, "You all go down." ”
He reached out and held Cheng Xi's hand, her weak and boneless little hand was held in the palm of his hand, he felt very distressed, the woman he put on the tip of his heart, but he was wronged for him, he sighed, and said in a deep voice: "Xi'er, it's useless to blame your husband, I can't protect you......"
"Your Majesty......." Cheng Xi heard the emperor say this, and knew that there were no outsiders present in this bedroom except for the two of them, she slowly opened her eyes and said softly.
"Xi'er, when you woke up, did you feel anything uncomfortable? I'll have the Imperial Doctor come and show you. The emperor asked with concern.
Since he ascended the throne, he only used the word "I" when facing Cheng Xi alone, but said "I", he felt that saying that word made him seem superior, he felt that he and Cheng Xi were husband and wife, they were one, he just wanted to treat Cheng Xi like an ordinary husband and wife, not condescending.
Cheng Xi looked around and made sure that there was no one else around except the emperor again, and then she said, "Ah Qing, I'm fine." ”
As she spoke, she sat up with her body propped up, and said with a smile: "Ah Qing, I'm not so useless, I fainted at a little thing." ”
When the emperor heard Cheng Xi say this, he was stunned for a moment, and it took a while to come back to his senses and ask, "Then you ...... just now?"
Cheng Xi chuckled, leaned his head on the emperor's chest, and asked, "Will the emperor cure Xi'er for the crime of bullying the king?" ”
Only then did the emperor understand that it was just because Cheng Xi didn't want to hear the emperor's grandmother and father mention the selection of concubines in her ear, so she pretended to be sick, "You girl, do you know that you are really scared of your husband, don't scare me like this in the future, okay?" ”
The emperor grabbed Cheng Xi's hand, put it on his chest, and said gently: "Xi'er, seeing you fall ill, your husband's heart will hurt!" ”
Cheng Xi lowered his head and said, "Ah Qing, I'm sorry!" ”
"You don't have to say I'm sorry, the person who should say I'm sorry is me, it's me who can't protect you, I can't keep you from harm, I must be strong, so that they can't help me." The emperor secretly made up his mind.
Maybe it's time for him to use the power of the Optimus Pavilion to put pressure on his father and the emperor, and also let some ambitious ministers of the court rein in their hearts, don't think that if you have a daughter at home, you want to stuff it into his harem!
He wants to let those people know that his harem is not a place where cats and dogs can enter.
Cheng Xi didn't know what the emperor was thinking about now, she just wanted to snuggle up to her beloved man like this, it was really good, she didn't want anyone to destroy it, even if that person was her father-in-law.
The emperor suddenly thought of seeing Cheng Xi's pale face just now, and he asked, "Xi'er, are you really okay?" Your face was so ugly just now! ”
"I'm fine, Ah Qing, I know medical skills, my own body, I know it very well, besides, even if you don't believe in my medical skills, you should also believe in the medical skills of the imperial doctor, I'll be fine." Cheng Xi comforted the emperor.
Because of the queen's fainting, the Empress Dowager and the Empress Taishang also kept silent about choosing a concubine for the emperor, but some ministers in the court refused to let go of the emperor, and they are now dealing with General Cheng, oh, no, it should be Jing Yuanhou, that envy, jealousy and hatred!
They all want to let their daughters enter the palace, thinking that if their daughter can be selected by the emperor as a concubine, then they can even be reused by the emperor, and they can want to wait for Jing Yuan.
But they don't want to think about it, their daughter is not Cheng Xi, where will the emperor take a fancy to their daughter?
In the court, Li Taishi admonished for the selection of concubines, he was selfish, their Li family because his sister was sent to the cold palace because of his sister the former queen, lost power in the court, he felt that his daughter was outstanding, and he could completely compete with the queen, if his daughter could be selected and become the emperor's concubine, then their Li family would have hope to make a comeback.
As soon as Li Taishi's words were finished, the Ministry of Industry Shangshu also stepped forward to second, and then, the ministers of the court, except for Jing Yuanhou, all seconded the proposal.
The emperor sneered in his heart when he saw it, this is his good courtier!
The emperor glared at Taishi Li with a stern look, which made Taishi Li secretly say in his heart that he had offended the emperor.
"This harem is my harem, do I want to choose a concubine, is it your turn to discuss? In the end, am I the emperor, or are you the emperor? Well! The emperor asked coldly, "You all day long know that let me choose a concubine, choose a concubine, you have that time, you might as well think about how to govern our Huaxia Kingdom well!" ”
The emperor's majestic tone made the ministers shudder, and the Taishi Li and the Ministry of Industry Shangshu were even more frightened just now.
And the emperor didn't seem to intend to let them go so easily, he said: "Taishi Li, Lin Shangshu, you are all idle, now the Western Regions and the Desert are eyeing our Huaxia Country, and I have a headache, you guys will write a strategy on the current situation in the Western Regions and the Desert, and I will see it in three days." ”
Although Li Taishi and Lin Shangshu knew that this was the emperor's deliberate embarrassment for them, the emperor's order could not be violated, and they had no choice but to accept the order.
And when the ministers saw the emperor's attitude, they didn't dare to say much, and after the next court, the ministers all went to Jing Yuanhou, all wanting to please Jing Yuanhou, but Jing Yuanhou could please them if they wanted to?
When he was just a general, he didn't bother to deal with these people who could only flatter, and now that he is Jing Yuanhou and the national abbot, he is even more lazy to pay attention to them, and he only talks to a few ministers who have always been good friends.
Because of the emperor's attitude in the court, the courtiers did not dare to blatantly mention the matter of choosing a concubine again, and the empress dowager and the emperor did not dare to mention it again at this time because of Cheng Xi's fainting, and the emperor and Cheng Xi finally lived a peaceful life for a while.
Good days always pass quickly, Cheng Xi's belly is getting bigger and bigger, and her body is getting heavier and heavier now, but she still insists on doing some exercises every day, on this day, she was doing yoga in the dormitory, and it happened that the emperor came and saw her doing those strange movements.
"Xi'er, what are you doing? How to make such a dangerous move? The emperor hurriedly supported her and asked.
Cheng Xi saw that there were no outsiders around him, and said with a smile: "Ah Qing, you don't have to worry, this is called yoga, do more of this kind of exercise, your body will be softer, and I do more exercise now, so it won't be too hard when I give birth, you can rest assured, I care more about this child than you, he is a piece of meat that fell off my body." ”
