23. Greetings, please
"......" Yu Du still did not change his complexion, but he thought to himself, the emperor almost wrote the words "Prince Zhaoling" on his face, "Oh, you said about the national policy, the minister thinks that Zhaoling is inferior to Zhaoyue in all aspects, and the new national policy is nothing more than to enhance his own strength, as long as we know the movements of Zhaoling well, we can effectively prevent it." β
"Hmm." Qi Yan responded, paused, and asked again, "I seem, do I care about that matter?" β
"If the emperor doesn't say it, the ministers are stupid, I don't know what the emperor said."
Qi Yan's eyes turned cold, "Don't pretend to be confused. β
Yu Du couldn't help but laugh and said, "Yes." β
Qi Yan was silent and said, "By the way, did Guo Shangshu intend to marry his daughter to me as a concubine a few days ago?" β
Yu Du's brain was a little blank, and it took a while before he reacted: "Yes." β
"Refute him, let's just say that the new emperor of me ascended the throne, hoping to focus on the foundation, and there is already a queen and Zhaoyi, so it is inconvenient to take a concubine in the harem for the time being."
"Yes." Yu Du responded.
"Go to Chenghuan Hall and have a look." Qi Yan stood up.
At this time, a palace lady ran in from outside the door and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the queen mother has fallen asleep." β
Qi Yan secretly clenched his fists, what a Shen Qinghuan, he was entangled here, but she slept so soundly, he said in a cold voice, "What else did she do today?" β
"The queen mother went to the Xiangyi room to bathe, and it took about an hour."
"Got it, keep looking at her, report to me if there's any situation." Qi Yan waved his hand to let that Gong'e go down, and said, "By the way, what is your name?" β
"Slave Yun'er."
"I will ask the people below to give your parents outside the palace a sum of money so that they can live a good life, you just need to watch her for me in the palace."
"Yes, the slave and maid thank the emperor."
"Go down."
Qi Yan sat back in his chair and continued to review the official documents.
"Your Majesty, aren't you going to Chenghuan Palace?" Yu Du asked.
"No, do you see that people take me to heart?" Qi Yan tried to calm down, but found that his heart was already a little messy.
Yu Du stopped talking.
On the second day, Shen Qinghuan woke up early, thinking about what Mo Xiang said yesterday, she went to apologize to Qi Yan today, although she was a little reluctant, but she felt that she had to do this.
However, as soon as I finished washing, I heard Mo Xiang say: "Niangniang, Xu Zhaoyi has come to say hello to the queen." β
"Oh-" Yes, as the first person in the harem, I have to accept the invitation of the sixth palace every day. Qi Yan now only has Xu Zhaoyi and her, what about the future, what if he has four, five, and three thousand beauties?
She suddenly felt a little sour, marrying the emperor without thinking about this kind of problem, she was really too naΓ―ve. It's just that she thinks that there has never been anything that she Shen Qinghuan can't get, even if there are more people competing for favor, she must be the one Qi Yan loves the most.
She thought that she needed to give this Xu Zhaoyi a little bit of power.
After she dressed up properly, she asked Xu Zhaoyi to wait for an extra stick of incense in the hall before walking out slowly.
"See the Queen." Xu Zhaoyi looks like a very polite woman, she looks quiet, and she doesn't have any bad intentions.
Shen Qinghuan didn't know where to go for a long time when she had a little bit of a calculation in her heart, and she had never been able to mention any malice towards the kind people in the opposite side.
"Xu Zhaoyi doesn't have to be polite, get up, Moxiang, go and pour tea for Zhaoyi."
Xu Zhaoyi smiled gently, and Shen Qinghuan felt that she was a little like that orchid, elegant and noble, and she also had a lot of good feelings in her heart.
"The tea here is good, much better than those in the palace on weekdays." Xu Wanwan praised.
"This tea, it's not in the palace, it's the Yunju Immortal I brought from the house, I bought it from the Jiangnan Tea House, the taste is pure, I don't like to drink tea very much, but I also think this tea tastes great." Shen Qinghuan said, "If Zhaoyi likes it, I can ask Mo Xiang to bring you some past." β
"That's embarrassing..."
"There are only two concubines in the palace, you and me, and I can't use it up alone, if the emperor occasionally goes to sit with you, you can also make him drink, right?" Shen Qinghuan thought, as a queen, after being a country, in addition to firmly grasping the emperor's heart, in front of others, he still has to show tolerance and generosity.
Unexpectedly, Xu Zhaoyi's face was not very good, and she said in embarrassment: "The queen doesn't know, although the concubine has been married to the emperor for a year, but the emperor rarely comes to the concubine, every time she comes and leaves, even, even..."
Seeing her slightly flushed face, Shen Qinghuan suddenly realized, it turned out that this suave Qi Yan might still be a man who had not been in the wind and moon...
