Volume 1 Annihilation of Hatred Chapter 33 If Life Is Like the First Meeting
The Imperial Study
Gu Yulou first tidied up his robe, took a deep breath, and then saluted respectfully.
"Chen Gu Yulou meets the emperor!"
Emperor Shengling only put aside the fold for the time being, rubbed his eyebrows lightly with both hands, and slowly got up in front of Gu Yulou.
"Aiqing is flat." Emperor Shengling just glanced at Gu Yulou casually, and his eyebrows were frowning, naturally nothing good. Playing with a string of beads casually, without saying a word, just listening to what this minister, who is not arrogant on weekdays and doesn't even pay attention to me, actually speaks.
"The ministers are not doing well, and please ask the emperor to punish them!" Gu Yulou kept his head down, not daring to look at the Holy Tomb Emperor. I only heard that Emperor Shengling's hand suddenly stopped moving, but after a moment, he heard the sound of beads rolling to the ground one by one.
"Aiqing's recent affairs have really become more and more unfavorable." Emperor Shengling turned around, flicked his sleeves angrily, and sat down on the dragon chair. Although the face is like a joke, there is no color change, but the words are different, but there is a different meaning.
Could it be that I have been too pampered and pampered by you, and you have forgotten your duty as a slave!
Gu Yulou casually arranged his robe, and then knelt on the ground.
"The minister is guilty!" Without waiting for Gu Yulou to say anything, the good inkstone that the Western Regions had paid tribute to had already smashed down on his head. The sticky and warm blood instantly slipped from his forehead, and Gu Yulou didn't care about it. Just respectfully surrender your hand.
"Thank you for the emperor's reward!"
"That's it, let's talk about it, what bad is that stinky boy holding back?" Emperor Shengling casually picked up a cup of tea and drank it casually. What if he leaves at night and escapes back to Nanling, the whole world belongs to my Yun family, but it is just a little ant, and what can he do. If I wanted to crush him, it would be easy, but I was afraid of dirty shoes, and I would be disgusted.
"Emperor Qiqi, since the deceased son returned to Nanling, he has not been able to go out, forgive the ministers for being stupid, and I really can't see anything wrong!"
Hua Lian stood aside and looked at the Holy Tomb Emperor's expression softened slightly, but if the injury on the forehead of this ancient commander was not dealt with, I was afraid that it would be inappropriate. casually gestured to the little eunuch on the side.
"Why are you still stupid, why don't you hurry up and pass on the imperial doctor."
Emperor Shengling just glanced at Hua Pian, but he couldn't see what the meaning was, in short, there should be no meaning of punishment, but faintly showed a little appreciation. In the end, if he has always been by his side, as a slave, he should keep in mind his duty to be a slave, if he is pampered and arrogant, or he is arrogant, or he is self-conscious, and he is wise, I am afraid that he will not be allowed to live until now.
Seeing that the injury on Gu Yulou's forehead was simply dealt with, he thought that the eldest princess mansion was there recently. It was really a little uneven, so I had to tell Emperor Shengling everything I knew.
It's just that Emperor Shengling's mind was not on the jealousy between Shangguan Linfeng and Yun Fusu, but there was one thing that had been pressed on his heart for many years, causing him to be separated from his eldest sister, and he needed to choose a good opportunity to solve this misunderstanding as soon as possible.
"By the way, that Yu Lingchen, how is it going!" If it is Wang Lingchen, Li Lingchen is fine, if the eldest sister is lonely and wants to raise some noodles, it is good for him to be whoever he is, even if it is a little man in Xiaoxiang Pavilion, but that person, he should not be surnamed Yu.
A good brush was broken, and the ink splashed on the fold of the Jiangnan flood that had just been approved. Hua Lian hurriedly stepped forward.
"The minion will rush to the Great General's Mansion to protect the country, and ask Dao Shilang to redraft an excerpt." Hua Lian carefully disposed of the spilled ink, and then prepared the dirty folds, and was about to rush to the Protector General's Mansion. I never wanted to be suddenly stopped by the Holy Tomb Emperor.
"No need, I haven't been to the queen for many days......," Emperor Shengling said halfway through his words, and Hua Lian had already sent someone to pass it on.
The Mansion of the Marquis of Zhongyi
"Don't kneel down for me, you unfilial son!" Qi Yang kicked down, and the eldest son Qi Wenyuan was defenseless, only felt a pain in his knee, and knelt on the ground.
The loyal and righteous Marquis Qi Chuhuan stood with his hands in his hands, frowning between his eyebrows, but he was too lazy to watch this acting father and son who didn't know who to show it. It is said that the tiger father has no dog son, how could he give birth to such a useless one.
"Father, please also ask my father to save Yuan'er this time, if the emperor investigates it, I'm afraid it's Yuan'er this time, this time, Yuan'er is the third generation of our Qi family!" Qi Yang gave Qi Wenyuan a look over and over again.
"Grandpa, Yuan'er knows that he is wrong, and asks grandpa to help Yuan'er this time." Qi Wenyuan hurriedly stepped forward and pulled the corner of Qi Chuhuan's clothes.
Qi Chuhuan suddenly kicked the person aside.
"Humph! I knew why I had to do it in the first place! Now that the floods in the south of the Yangtze River are rampant, as an official of the imperial court and the parents of the people, I can't solve problems for the imperial court, and I can't sympathize with the suffering of the people, so a mediocre official has lost the face of my Qi family, but you, a thing that doesn't know life and death, dare to be greedy for the silver ...... of the imperial court's disaster relief" Qi Chuhuan stumbled, and was almost angry by Qi Wenyuan.
"Who is that Dao Wenjue, although now he is just a small household servant, but he is famous in the officialdom who is not afraid of power, upright, but this time the emperor ordered him to be fully responsible for the flood and ink greed in the south of the Yangtze River, if it is replaced by someone else, the old man can still give up this old face and maneuver around one or two, but this time, I am afraid that Yuan'er wants to get out of the whole body, I am afraid that it will be difficult!"
Qi Wenyuan sat on the ground with his buttocks, his little face was pale, and his eyes were as godless as dead fish.
Qi Yang stepped forward timidly, only looking at his father, who had gray hair almost overnight.
"Father, or let my sister help out with a ...... or two" Before Qi Yang finished speaking, Qi Chuhuan turned around suddenly, and came up with a slap. Qi Yang only felt that his ears were buzzing, and his father's slap really made him more sober.
My sister is in the palace, and the situation is also difficult, it is good not to ask my mother's family to help me with one or two, and Han'er has to plan carefully, and now Yuan'er is greedy for ink, and there is a lot of uproar, I am afraid that my sister is avoiding suspicion and it is not enough, where can I expect her to help anything, in the end, I am in a hurry.
Wenning Palace
"The concubine visits the emperor!" Queen Duanyi Qi Zui knew that the emperor was coming to Wenning Palace, so she hurriedly freshened up. Since the death of Concubine Shugui, the emperor has come to the harem less and less.
Qi Zui was still worried about whether the emperor would be angry with him and Han'er because of Yuan'er's matter, but now it seems that he is worried too much! When my heart relaxed, my spirit was much better, and I smiled, just as ruddy and lovely as a girl.
"Queen, please get up, I have been burdened by government affairs recently, so I have snubbed the queen, and the queen should not blame me." Emperor Shengling took the queen's hand, and the two sat down at the table together.
Qi drunk was obviously a little flattered, the emperor treated himself like this, or when he first saw the imperial garden, every time he thought of this, although he was more than thirty, he was only as shy as a girl, and his eyes were full of affection, and he was afraid that it would overflow.
The maid stepped back playfully. Happily instructed the kitchenette to prepare hot water, which might be needed later.
"The emperor has all the opportunities, it is the blessing of the people of the society, where do the concubines dare to complain, the concubines just feel sorry for the emperor It's too late." Qi drunk and counted the hours, and the red dates and white fungus soup boiled in the small kitchen should be about the same.
But in a moment, the maid had already brought the soup, and before she reached the table, Qi Zui had already gotten up, took the soup, carefully opened the lid, took a fan from her hand, and carefully fanned it cold. Then he took a spoonful and handed it to the mouth of Emperor Shengling.
The ability to be a concubine, so not warm, never thought, Emperor Shengling took the spoon, then handed it to his mouth, and then brought the whole bowl of soup to his side, and ate it in a big gulp, but after a moment of effort, it was solved by dividing it by two. Take a handkerchief and gently wipe the corners of your mouth. Only then did I think of the queen who was stunned on the side, her eyes full of grievances.
"The queen doesn't have to be so troublesome, I'm just tired, I want to come to the queen to sit here, between you and me, how long has it been since we've been so busy and chatting together! I still remember when I was the fourth prince...... "Emperor Shengling just casually mentioned a few things about the past, but I didn't know that I had been a mother for more than ten years, and the drunken child was still as sentimental as when I first met, and I loved crying ghosts."
It's just that how did Emperor Shengling know that if life is like the first time we met, how can it only be like the first time we met. The same pear blossom with rain, the same smile, some are soft, some can be a knife hidden in a smile, in this deep palace, where is there a bit of sincerity. Who cares about a little sincerity and a little fakeness. Who hasn't been innocent, how can this palace wall be a little deep, lonely and bitter and chilling.
"Has the queen heard of Yuan'er?" Emperor Shengling took a sip of tea casually, just as if chatting, but his eyes swept over Qi Zui's body intentionally or unintentionally.
Qi Zui's heart was tight at first, and he had long known that it was a blessing or a curse, and he couldn't avoid it. It's strange that Yuan'er is finally a breathless, just a few hundred taels of gold, and he is covered with lard.
"The concubine knows that it is wrong, because the concubine and her father usually favor this rebel son too much and neglect to discipline him, so that he indulges in such a disaster, the emperor only handles it impartially, and wants to kill and punish, and the concubine has no complaints!" As soon as Qi Zui's words fell, he suddenly knelt on the ground.
Emperor Shengling hurriedly got up and helped the person up.
"The queen is serious, Yuan'er is Yuan'er, Zhongyi Houfu is Hou's Mansion, and the disaster will not be as good as his wife and children, not to mention, the matter of Yuan'er is still under investigation, and it has not yet been determined......" Emperor Shengling only looked at Qi Zui's tightly clenched handkerchief, and he had a calculation in his heart. The conversation changed.
"The queen really knows me best, only the drunken child is the most at ease!" After Emperor Shengling finished speaking, he pulled Qi drunk into his arms. But a moment of grinding, the person is lifted up and hugged to the couch, the spring night is short, the red candle is swaying, the bed curtain is falling, and it is a room of infinite spring light.
Early the next morning, when Qi got up drunk, he only felt empty beside him, and he was busy calling the maid to ask.
The emperor only said that he was afraid of making noise until the queen rested, so he only asked the slaves and maids to wait for the change of clothes and rushed to the early court. The emperor is really the most favored queen! The maid was on the side, changing clothes for Qi drunk, and her heart couldn't help but bloom. The queen has waited so long and looked forward to it for so long, and the good days have finally arrived!
As soon as Qi drunk here had just freshened up and dressed up, a eunuch came to report.
"Empress Qiyu, someone from the Marquis of Zhongyi's Mansion has come!" Without waiting for the eunuch to finish speaking, Qi Zui only felt his heart tighten. But he had to pretend to be calm.
"But far away?" Qi drunk took a sip of tea violently, suppressing his shock.
"It's the Marquis of Zhongyi, I just said that I was asking the queen to say goodbye, and I wanted the slave to bring a message to the queen, don't worry too much, the Marquis of Zhongyi's Mansion is the Marquis of Zhongyi's Mansion, the queen is the queen, and with his old man, the Marquis of Zhongyi's Mansion will never drag the queen back!" Qi Zui motioned to the maid to take a few gold leaves and stuff them for the little eunuch, and after the little eunuch retreated, Qi Zui got up suddenly. I only felt top-heavy, it was pitch black in front of me, and I almost fell to the ground. Unconsciously wet his eyes with tears, he endured the heartache, sobbed and only called,
"Father!"
