Chapter Fifty-Nine: Troubled Times Rise Up
His grandmother's, these piles of little beauties are all Han Shishi's, but she still wants her to greet her, and half of the lunch meal is given to people, which is simply depressing!
Let Xia Cairen play in the outer hall, Qianqiu said to go to sleep, and then threw himself into the quilt and rolled.
The Queen Mother is not in the palace, and she married out in a hurry before it was too late, who else can she talk to in this palace?
"Mother." Someone knelt down respectfully outside the curtain: "Subordinate Chu Yue to meet you." β
By the way, there is also a Chu Yue!
Qianqiu turned over and sat up, motioned for Lily to go out and close the door, and then opened the curtain and slapped him on the back: "I haven't seen you for a few days, why are you so old and practicing etiquette?" β
Chu Yue glanced up at her in a daze, and saw that she was in good spirits and returned to her previous appearance, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Isn't Niangniang in a bad mood these days, and her subordinates don't dare to make a mistake, for fear of annoying Niangniang like last time." β
Last time? Qianqiu thought about it blankly, and then his expression tightened, couldn't this kid say something to Han Shishi that shouldn't be said during their soul change?
"Last time... It's because I have indigestion, so I'm not in a good mood. Qianqiu smiled dryly: "I wasn't me at that time, you don't have to take it to heart." β
Chu Yue looked at her strangely, then nodded. Qianqiu pulled him up and pressed him to the seat next to him, and flatteringly stuffed a cup of tea for him: "How is the situation outside the palace recently?" β
Chu Yue took a sip and made sure that there was no problem, so he relaxed and said: "Recently, several uprisings outside have been suppressed, and Wu Guo's sincerity in marrying the princess is also very strong, and he sent 50,000 reinforcements to keep the border safe." β
Qianqiu nodded, and asked again: "What about Shandong?" β
"It's a little tricky over there." Chu Yue frowned slightly and said: "The emperor is most worried about the matter in Shandong recently, a group of Xianbei people under the banner of revenge, joined forces with Sima Yuxi, and actually gathered 100,000 stragglers in just one month. Although the strength is far less than that of the formal army, the number is also staggering. β
After a pause, Chu Yue continued with a complicated expression: "And this group of rebels is very strange, the people everywhere they go spontaneously donate food to them, and they don't disturb the people, they only capture the local yamen and seize power. β
Qianqiu was slightly stunned, and then chuckled, the most distributed Xianbei people are in Shandong, can the people not donate food to Xianbei's own people?
"Why is the mother laughing?" Chu Yue looked at Qianqiu's expression, a little strange.
Qianqiu hurriedly suppressed his expression and said, "I think it's a little funny that the rabble is making such a big noise." β
Chu Yue shook his head solemnly: "Niangniang must not underestimate the rabble, the Qin State was also destroyed in the hands of the rabble, according to the subordinates, the emperor is kind-hearted, and may not be able to deal with this crisis well." β
"Oh?" Qianqiu smiled: "Is it possible for them to break into this Luoyang Palace?" β
Chu Yue didn't smile, only pinched the teacup quietly.
Qianqiu couldn't laugh when she smiled, she was the one who knew best how much strength the rebel had, and she also knew clearly that before that day, no one could say who won or lost.
But, but now, she is already the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty, the real Concubine Jingniang. If one day their long knife is on Han Ziji's neck, how will she deal with herself? Or maybe Han Shishi pushed her father to the guillotine, how should she deal with herself?
I should have left earlier, and I should have left when I was tempted, but unfortunately, why didn't I leave earlier. It's too late to get involved in this whirlpool.
Chiaki sighed.
Chu Yue thought that she was worried about the country and the people, and comforted: "Niangniang don't worry too much, the emperor will protect the safety of the harem no matter what." Besides, they haven't called yet, it's early. β
Chiaki nodded.
Chu Yue continued to go on duty, and Xia Luoyue obediently ran into her dormitory and massaged her.
"The mother doesn't look very healthy." Xia Cairen said cautiously: "It seems that something is accumulated within five years, so if the concubine pushes it, you will feel pain." β
Qianqiu blinked and chuckled: "Maybe I can't digest something after eating." β
Xia Cairen's eyes rolled, and he said with a smile: "The concubine's massage, do you still feel comfortable?" β
"Hmm." Qianqiu yawned and nodded honestly, it was quite comfortable.
"There are so many sisters in the palace suddenly, and the mother should feel annoyed for a while. It's just that Niangniang's grace is stable, and even the queen can't grab it, so I don't have to worry about vulgar fans. β
Xia Cairen's eyes were shrewd, he looked at Qianqiu's back, and said faintly: "But if Niangniang is really worried, then the concubine can help Niangniang for a while." It is inevitable that the emperor will be tired, as long as the mother introduces the concubine to the emperor, then the grace of the mother will naturally be stronger, what does the mother think? β
The person on the bed didn't move, Xia Luoyue was a little uneasy, and hurriedly said: "The concubine doesn't mean to compete with the mother for favor, it's just a man, who doesn't have a greasy time." Concubines can keep the emperor for Niangniang, or they can move to the Scene Palace, Niangniang, you can see ......"
Concubine Jing finally movedβshe let out an even breathing sound.
She fell asleep.
Xia Cairen's eyes widened, she didn't expect her to keep talking, Concubine Jing could still sleep?!
"Since the mother is asleep, then there is Lao Xia to cover the quilt for the mother, so as not to catch a cold." Lily stood by the curtain with her hands down, politely and authentically.
Xia Luoyue gritted her teeth, got up unwillingly, covered Qianqiu with the quilt, and then withdrew.
Concubine Jing doesn't want to accept her, right? Otherwise, you won't fall asleep with a push! Xia Luoyue secretly thought that this road would not work, so she had to take other roads.
In the evening, the palace finally had the first round of flop activities.
After Han Ziji finished dealing with political affairs, he naturally went to the Scene Palace, where did he know that he was stopped by Lily, and said embarrassedly that he was preparing the sign that the emperor was going to turn over tonight.
This is interesting, the emperor waved away the palace people, and he tiptoed in and stood at the door barrier like a thief.
"Why don't I have my own brand?" Qianqiu crossed her waist and looked at the little eunuch in front of her angrily and asked.
The little eunuch wiped the sweat from his forehead, bowed his head and said: "Niangniang, the rules in the palace, the newcomers are here, naturally they are all preparing the brands of the little masters, Niangniang..."
"What's wrong with me?" Qianqiu raised his eyebrows: "I'm also one of his harems, are you age-discriminate?" What happened to the newcomer? Do you mean that the emperor likes the new and hates the old? β
The little eunuch choked and wanted to cry without tears, who knew that this Jing Concubine Niangniang was reasonable and generous when she chose a concubine a few days ago, how could she compete with the green head card today.
Han Ziji heard the corners of his lips curl, coughed lightly and walked straight in.
"Your Majesty!" The eunuch was as if he had seen a life-saving benefactor, so he almost jumped up and hugged Han Ziji's thigh: "The slave was derelict in his duty and failed to convince the mother to ......."
"Hmm." Han Ziji nodded, pressed Qianqiu, who wanted to run around, and said in a straight voice: "There is no need for the green head card in the palace for the time being, you go down first." β
"This ......" The little eunuch glanced up at Han Ziji, responded timidly, and ran out with a tray in his hand.
Chiaki sat in her chair with a grunt, not looking at the person in front of her.
"What's wrong?" Han Ziji stretched out his hand and poked her bulging face: "It's a big smell of vinegar." β
Qianqiu's face turned red, and he said in a muffled voice: "I just think it's unfair, why can a man have three wives and four concubines, and a woman can only start from the beginning?" β
Han Ziji raised his eyebrows: "Because this world is a man's world." β
"Who said that?" Qianqiu bared his teeth: "Women can still hold up the world, do you believe it or not?" β
Seeing the little thief's expression of wanting to blow up, Han Ziji didn't argue with her, but just reached out and scooped the person out of the chair and walked to the bed.
"What for?" Chiaki was taken aback.
Han Ziji chuckled: "Didn't you shout to bring me your own brand?" I'm just flipping the cards right now. β
Qianqiu opened his mouth and bit the man's shoulder, and said inarticulately: "Don't you think about it!" β
Marry such a big house of women, and still want to continue to be good with her? She doesn't want it!
Han Ziji gasped, threw Qianqiu into the quilt, and frowned: "You are too ruthless." β
Qianqiu wanted to say, you haven't seen it even more ruthlessly, but as soon as she looked up, she saw the bloodshot in Han Ziji's eyes, and her heart couldn't help but soften, and she snorted twice and lay down in the bed, leaving a place for him.
Han Ziji lay down, sighed a little tiredly, stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around her, and said, "I'm so tired." β
There was a faint coquettish meaning in his tone, and Qianqiu suddenly overflowed with maternal love, patted him on the back and said: "When the emperor is like this, if you are tired, I will let Xia Cairen massage for you, and she will push me to sleep today." β
Han Ziji glanced at her funny: "Didn't you compete for favor just now?" Why are you going to stuff people for me now? β
"That's different." Qianqiu snorted and said, "It's different if someone else wants to grab it and I want to give it." I have never been the only one who robbed people, and no one robbed me. β
"Yes, the second master." Han Ziji rubbed her face playfully, and then sighed and said, "The uprising over there in Shandong can't be suppressed for the time being, and there is still a more and more powerful posture. Today, Taifu said to me, asking me to divide all the areas around Shandong into areas to be captured, regardless of the people's houses, and the army will be forced. β
Qianqiu was startled, grabbed his shirt and asked, "You agreed?" β
"Nope." Han Ziji said a little tiredly: "There are many people in Shandong, and there are only a few rebels, and they are widely distributed, so I have no reason to abandon that large number of people because of a few." β
Qianqiu breathed a sigh of relief, and paused for a while before saying, "You are a Mingjun." β
Han Ziji smiled bitterly: "But they all said that I am too benevolent, and I am only suitable for prosperous times, not for troubled times." β
"In prosperous and troubled times, those who have the people in their hearts are all good emperors." Qianqiu said: "I think you're pretty good." β
"Yes." Han Ziji closed his eyes and hugged the person in his arms tighter: "Then if one day, I can't sit on this throne, what are you going to do?" β
