It's just her identity, she has never told the emperor, but the prime minister has not taken any action recently, which makes her gradually let down her vigilance, listening to Mama's words every day, and looking forward to the healthy birth of the child in her belly.

When the emperor saw the smile of the person in front of him, his heart was also soft, he just wanted to live slowly like this, he didn't want those powers, let the prime minister fight, he just guarded his concubine and waited for their child to be born.

He hugged the person in his arms tightly, and was afraid that she would be cold, so he asked the attendant to take out a blanket and cover him.

Winter in the capital has always come earlier, and it will snow before the wax moon in the depths of winter.

Today is such a snowy day, the emperor has been quietly sitting with the person in his arms, and the snow floating outside the window has gradually formed a thin layer, and the passing palace people have made a rustling sound when they step on it.

The warm body of the person in his arms leaned on the emperor's chest, which made him feel extremely relieved.

When Concubine Hao died, although he was sad for a while, he was sad later, but later he was sad and mixed with a little bit of acting in order to let the prime minister relax.

It's just that at first, he just felt that he needed a woman around him to spoil him to achieve his illusion of an emperor who was addicted to beauty, and it wasn't until that day that Siyiyuan danced that he really made a heart for his beauty, so it was out of control.

He knew that Qi Qiao's identity was not pure, it was not just a woman who Bao Xiangshu sacrificed for the holy grace.

He often heard her nightmares in the middle of the night, and his expression was full of horror.

He always gently patted her on the back and coaxed her to sleep again.

He inexplicably felt that he was somewhat similar to himself, and there was a deep sense of insecurity hidden in his eyes.

But he still couldn't help but fall in love with this beautiful woman with a beautiful face and many small ideas.

In fact, he was also worried that she would be like those people, for fame, fortune, money and power to harm him, but when he heard her say "tiger hero" that day, he kept an eye on it and didn't go hunting, who knew that later he saw Bao Xiang's body that was tragically bitten to death by the tiger.

He saw her in the middle of the night again drawing his eyebrows and eyes, and her eyes were full of fear.

He knew that although Concubine Zhen was restrained by others for some reason, her heart was still towards herself.

I thought about Concubine Zhen for a long time, the person in his arms had already fallen asleep, and the emperor listened to the shallow breathing of the person in his arms, and unconsciously closed his eyes.

Occasionally, a eunuch outside came in to bring some snacks for the emperor's mother, and when I saw the scene of the two people in the room sleeping with their ears and temples grinding, I only felt that the room was much warmer than the outside.

It wasn't until nightfall that Concubine Zhen woke up from the emperor's arms.

The snow outside the house was getting heavier and heavier, and it looked beautiful against the candle flame inside.

In the house, the people who had already been served had been added to the charcoal fire, and they seemed to nest in the emperor's warm arms, covered with a soft blanket, and they only felt warm to their hearts.

The emperor felt the movement and woke up, as if he sat up, the emperor stood up and moved his body, "I only hugged my concubine for a while, and I felt my whole body ache. ”

seemed to be disgusted and said: "The emperor is blaming the concubines for being heavy." ”

The emperor smiled: "It's not you who are heavy, it's the little prince who is heavy." ”

It seems that he is showing his face at this time, and he blames the emperor for not being serious.

When the two of them slept these times, they also felt hungry, so the emperor asked them to have dinner.

The dinner is also full of dishes that seem to be my favorite dishes on weekdays.

looked at the emperor's eyebrows through the mist emitted by the hot pot on the table, and felt that today's life was a little too happy, which made her eyes suddenly sour.

She quickly shook her head, made a casual appearance and began to eat.

The emperor watched her every move, "When Concubine Ai gives birth to a prince, I will crown Concubine Ai as the queen." From now on, no matter who the concubine was in the past, she will only be my queen in the future, is the concubine willing? ”

Qi Qiao raised his head sharply and looked into the emperor's eyes, and he just looked at him, with the calmness and forgiveness in his eyes that knew everything, Qi Qiao finally understood that he had always known.

The emperor saw that he had been staring at him blankly, and he didn't urge her, but just looked at her with a smile.

After a long time, she finally reacted, she nodded slowly, from then on, she was just the emperor's concubine, and she was no longer the prime minister's pawn.

The emperor continued: "Now that the prime minister of the DPRK and China is the dominant family, you also know that Qi Yuanshi has long been unpleasant to me, and he doesn't know what conspiracy to use in the future. ”

"No matter what, the concubines will be with the emperor."

The emperor nodded, "Eat quickly, the dishes are almost cold." After that, he stared at Concubine Zhen to eat as usual, and didn't mention anything else.

The next morning, the Cheng Dynasty proposed that the Scorching Sun Kingdom had repeatedly provoked the Biansai, and the Marquis of Cen Zhao invited himself to go on the expedition, and the emperor agreed and ordered him to leave after half a month.

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu stepped forward again and proposed the matter of the two-day palace test, and the emperor was still as indispensable as usual.

Facing backwards, an inconspicuous small palanquin exited the palace through the west gate, which was rarely noticed in the palace.

In Cen Mansion, everyone began to prepare for the expedition in half a month.

Yun Sha asked Cen Zhaohou, who had just returned from the lower court, "What is the origin of the Scorching Sun Kingdom?" Why don't you hear of this country before? ”

Cen Zhaohou replied, "This Scorching Sun Kingdom was originally a dependent state of Tusaige, and then Tusaig was destroyed by the imperial court, and this country has been in a state of dying, until the new king of the Scorching Sun Kingdom, Ermuzhu, made great efforts to govern the country, re-established the laws of their country, and tolerated foreign countries to come to their country to immigrate, which gradually became stronger, and swallowed several small countries nearby, and now he dares to provoke the imperial court." ”

Yun Sha nodded.

Suddenly, I heard a report from the attendant that there was a visit from Cen Zhaohou's friend outside.

The two people in the room were strange, and suddenly saw the man who was brought in with a noble appearance took off the gauze hat on his head, Cen Zhaohou was shocked, and hurriedly ordered the subordinates next to him to go down, so he pulled Yun Sha to kneel down and salute, "See the emperor." ”

It turned out that after the next court today, the emperor asked his cronies to find him an inconspicuous carriage and took him quickly to Cen Mansion.

The emperor stepped forward to help Cen Zhaohou, "Aiqing, please get up quickly." ”

Marquis Cen Zhao asked the emperor to sit on the throne, and personally poured him a cup of tea, "I don't know why the emperor suddenly left the palace?" ”

The emperor's eyes were full of solemnity, "Aiqing, I only want to ask you, are you used by the prime minister now?" ”

The emperor heard today that the prime minister invited Cen Zhaohou to the mansion two days ago, and the two talked for a long time before they came out.

Today, he asked Cen Zhaohou to go to the border to quell the chaos, causing everyone to speculate whether this arrogant first general had also become the prime minister's right-hand man.

The emperor didn't want to and couldn't believe it.

The Cen family has been loyal for generations, and Cen Zhaohou is a person who does not pay much attention to power, so the emperor can rest assured that most of the military power in the court will be handed over to him, and he will also regard him as his last hole card.

When Cen Zhaohou heard this, he said, "The Cen family has been loyal for generations, and Weichen will never be that chaotic minister and thief!" ”

After that, he explained the scenes in the prime minister's palace that day to the emperor one by one.

After listening carefully, the emperor's eyes were full of murderous intent, and he said to Cen Zhaohou: "Now that I am weak, I know that Qi Yuanshi's wolf ambition does not know how to bring it down. ”

Cen Zhaohou said: "The emperor is the true dragon emperor, naturally he will not be harmed by that little man, and Weichen will also do his best to help the emperor, and if he finds the right time, he will definitely take down the thief!" ”

Hearing this, the emperor nodded and said, "Okay!" With Aiqing's words, I was relieved, and it was not too early, so I went back to the palace first. ”

"The emperor walks slowly."

Cen Zhaohou looked at the back of the emperor leaving, and his brows furrowed deeply.

He always knew that the emperor was not as stupid as he appeared, but the tumor of Qi Yuanshi had been planted as early as when the emperor was alive, and now the emperor has been in power for less than ten years.

The next day was Yunsha's birthday, and Cen Zhaohou invited Jiang Yanyue and them to come to the mansion for dinner.

Now Jiang Yuebai was also a little scared when she saw Lou Yinyang, and she didn't dare to talk to her like before.

Jiang Yanyue heard that Marquis Cen Zhao was going to deal with the Scorching Sun Country in a few days, and said, "I lived in the Scorching Sun Country before Yuebai. ”

When Cen Zhaohou heard this, "But I see that you are all from the Central Plains. ”

Jiang Yanyue said: "Forty percent of the people in the Scorching Sun Country have entered from other places, as long as they abide by the local laws, they will be able to get the local household registration in a few years. ”

Cen Zhaohou nodded, "In this way, Narmu is an enlightened king." ”

Generally, the kings of small countries have some intention of rejecting foreign populations, and they are afraid that foreigners will come to their country to compete for their local resources and cause civil strife.

Jiang Yanyue agreed, "Yes, Ermu grape welcomes foreign population, so many people from poorer countries have come to Ermu grape, which not only makes Ermu grape more adult men to work, but also promotes the economy of Ermu grape, so that it has developed rapidly in a few years." ”

When Cen Zhaohou heard this, he asked, "Then I don't know what this Ermu grape is doing suddenly to provoke the Central Plains?" ”

Jiang Yanyue said: "I don't know about this, but Naermu should know how many catties and taels he has, and he shouldn't have come with the idea of occupying the Central Plains." ”

Cen Zhaohou nodded.

Suddenly, Jiang Yanyue saw the jade pendant on Cen Zhaohou's body and exclaimed, "Where did General Cen get this jade pendant?" ”

When Yun Xuan heard this, he also looked at it.

Jiang Yuebai also noticed the jade pendant on Cen Zhaohou's body, and was also shocked, he took off the jade pendant hanging on his body, "Look at this piece." ”

I saw that the jade pendant on his body and Cen Zhaohou's piece happened to be able to form a circle.
