Chapter 52: The Hard-Working Emperor
How tragic the father and queen mother were back then, Han Ziji knew. But......
"Father, the sons don't understand, do you mean that Concubine Jing is to the sons and daughters, and the queen mother is to you?" He raised his eyebrows disapprovingly, this gap is too big, where can it be compared.
The Emperor Taishang rubbed the teacup and said with a smile: "Maybe it's not that important, but she can still influence you a thing or two, if it's an ordinary woman, it's fine... If you don't like it that much now, it's better to break it off sooner to avoid trouble in the future. ”
Ordinary women? It's a pity that Ji Qianqiu is a thief, but what happened to the thief? It's also very good, I can eat, fight, and carry.
No, what does he want to do with this, Ji Qianqiu has already said that he wants to marry Chu Yue, and as soon as she recovers from her injuries, he will have to arrange a marriage for her.
The mood was a little complicated, and Han Ziji didn't think about what the emperor meant by his words, he just explained, and then continued to discuss state affairs.
Qianqiu was ordered not to get out of bed, the fact is that she really can't get out of bed, her legs cramp from time to time, and the skin and flesh on her waist can't be pulled at all, so she can only play a wooden man quietly.
"Minister Pei Yutian, please see Concubine Jing."
Lying down, a voice sounded outside, and Chiaki opened her eyes suddenly, and shouted to Lily, "Open the door for him." ”
Lily led Pei Yutian in and stood outside the curtain. Pei Yutian half-knelt down and said: "Qi Yu Niangniang, the minister returned from leaving the state, and brought back a letter to his mother's house, and presented it to you in accordance with His Majesty's will." ”
Letter? Qianqiu's heart tightened, the last time she wrote a letter to her family, she still used Han Ziji's body to order Pei Yutian not to read the contents of the letter. But this letter is in her hands, will Han Shishi have already read it?
"There is Lord Lao, Lily, bring it for the main palace."
Lily answered, presenting a letter to her.
"Show the adults the tea and watch the seats, it is inconvenient for the palace to get up, so I will lie down and read the letter first, you are free." Qianqiu smiled and said a few polite words, and the people outside nodded, and sat down quietly and stopped talking.
"Qianqiu Qinqi: Wu'er, the Black Wind Village has been dispersed, each running for the future, I wish you good in Luoyang, and the husband and wife are harmonious. If you are fated to meet the brothers in the village, you should protect and help each other as usual. As a father, he went to Shandong to join his brother, so he didn't have to worry about it. ”
Chiaki pinched the letter paper, her eyes gloomy. This letter must have been written by Master Liu, and he said it so implicitly, where is the Black Wind Village scattered, it is clear that they are acting separately.
Daddy expected her to meet her brother in the village, but... But this letter came late, and she was already sorry for Uncle Si and those who lost their lives.
For the sake of a man, she is really stupid, why can't she think about it for a while, and she wants to run to help him.
"I'm a little sleepy, so I'll sleep first." Chiaki folded the letter and put it back under the pillow, turned her head into the bed, and said in a muffled voice.
Pei Yutian outside stood up and said, "The minister will leave." ”
"There's Lord Lao." Lily politely sent Pei Yutian all the way out, turned his head to look at the quiet Scene Palace, and sighed slightly.
Situ Xiuxiu is said to have been very frightened and has been recuperating in the palace and has been closed doors. However, the emperor didn't go to see her, but Wu Guo heard the news and expressed his gratitude to the Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty, and by the way, when he sent reinforcements, he gave enough food.
Han Ziji was very busy, the Xianbei clan in Shandong unveiled the uprising, and the Qiang tribe in Hebei also rose together, all like the vegetable market rushing to the market, all of them picked this time, threatening to help Sima Yu overthrow the rule of the Han clan and bring the emperor Han Shuo to justice.
Joke, Han Shuo is so easy to bring to justice? When the Sima royal family was still there, no one could help him, and now there are still some remnants left, where did he get the courage to oppose Han Fu Sima?
However, for this chaotic situation, the Emperor Taishang only clapped his hands: Emperor, you are busy first, and the father and queen will take your mother out to swim in the mountains and play in the water.
I'm going to his grandma a bear! Han Ziji looked at the trembling courtiers in the court, and couldn't help but scold his father in his heart. This is the time when people are panicking, and he actually left like this, asking him to be alone?
This is also too exciting, in case he doesn't do it well, his father will have to watch a Hun sitting on the throne and wave his claws at him when he comes back.
Han Ziji said that there was a lot of pressure, the lights in the Taiji Hall were lit until dawn every day, and the courtiers who came and went and the Taifu who constantly put pressure on the emperor made the emperor lose weight quickly.
"Your Majesty, you haven't had a good rest for half a month." Situ Xiuxiu knelt on the ground with the tonic and frowned: "Of course, state affairs are important, and the emperor should also take care of the dragon body first." ”
Han Ziji didn't look up, only said "um", motioning for her to put her things down and leave.
Situ Xiuxiu was a little unwilling, now that Wu and Jin have a friendly relationship and depend on each other, it should be the best time for her to get pregnant, but the emperor is so busy that he doesn't even enter the harem, where is she going to get pregnant?
Looking at the tonic in his hand, Situ Xiuxiu smiled and put it on Han Ziji's table, and said softly: "Your Majesty, this is made by the concubine herself, the ginseng soup that is most effective in tonifying the body, can you taste it first?" ”
Han Ziji finally raised his eyes impatiently, his eyes were bloodshot: "Can't you see that I'm busy?" ”
Situ Xiuxiu was startled, bit her lip and glanced at the tonic, and went out with a wave of her sleeves.
"Shui Lan, guard the Tai Chi Hall for the palace, and don't allow other women to enter, when the emperor wants to come out, tell the palace!"
Shui Lan lowered her eyes and replied lightly: "Yes." ”
Han Ziji finally dealt with the most troublesome issue of military salary, and as soon as he looked up and saw the supplements next to him, he suddenly remembered Qianqiu. The girl had been lying in bed to recuperate, and she must have been bored to the point of going crazy. It's better to wait a while, he borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, and sent this to her to make up for her body.
After half a month, the wound on the leg is almost healed, that is, the hole in the waist, it is said that it was a few stitches with sheep intestines, and the medicine was just changed yesterday. The doctor said that if he continued to raise it for a month, he would be lively and lively in storage.
Qianqiu was lying a little moldy, but for the sake of the very good food every day, she endured it.
"Mother." Lily came in with a strange expression.
"What's wrong?" Chiaki turned over and changed her position to lie down and asked.
"The water blue of the Furong Hall asks to see you."
Hibiscus Hall? Qianqiu was trembling, the queen and her are now the well water does not interfere with the river water, they haven't seen each other for a long time, why did they suddenly send her dowry maid?
"Let her in."
Shui Lan lowered her eyes, knelt down outside the curtain upright, and said, "Slave maid to Concubine Jing Niangniang." ”
"Well, why are you here?" Chiaki asked.
Shui Lan said: "Please retreat from the left and right." ”
Lily frowned and glanced at her.
"It's trouble for the people in your palace to talk." Qianqiu didn't have a good face, but curiosity was troubled, and she still said to Yuri Nunu: "Go out and bring the door." ”
Lily hesitated for a moment and complied.
Only she and Shui Lan were left in the inner hall, and Qianqiu asked curiously, "What does the queen have to tell the palace?" ”
Shui Lan shook her head: "The slave maid is here for herself, and has nothing to do with the queen." ”
What? Qianqiu didn't understand, so she just listened to her.
"The slave maid is the queen's dowry maid and knows many things about the queen. The queen regarded Niangniang as a thorn in her side, and wanted to get rid of Niangniang several times, and the slaves and maids knew all those things. Shui Lan lowered her head, her voice was very soft, but she was very clear.
Qianqiu raised her eyebrows: "You know, you know, why did you come to me?" ”
Shui Lan was stunned, and looked up at Concubine Jing in surprise: "Why should Niangniang pretend to be stupid with the slave maid, if you want to win the throne and win the emperor's favor, Niangniang can cooperate with the slave maid." ”
"I'm not interested." Qianqiu shook her head, these women's scheming was too heavy, and she was a little afraid.
"Niangniang thinks that the slave maid is not weighty, right?" Shui Lan smiled slightly, raised her head and said: "Then Niangniang wait, the emperor will come to the Scene Palace later, and then if Niangniang wants to ask the slave maid, or if she wants to cooperate with the slave maid, then find someone to summon the slave maid in the Yeting Palace." ”
Han Shishi is coming over? Qianqiu smashed his mouth, I haven't seen him for half a month, and this harem is really lonely. But how did this palace maid know what the stone was going to do? And this look of being confident and selling off the guan made her want to punch her face twice when she saw it.
However, the Ting Palace? That's the residence of a low-level palace maid, how can the marriage of a dignified queen be in the Ting Palace?
Qianqiu was a little curious, and when Shui Lan left, she asked Lily what was going on.
Lily smiled lightly: "The palace maid of the Furong Palace is not as good as our Scene Palace, the queen basically let the eunuchs serve, only Shui Lan is a palace maid, and she is not allowed to live in the Furong Palace, so she rushed to the Yeting Palace." For the sake of it, isn't it afraid that the emperor will accidentally fall in love with the palace maids in her palace one day and thin her favor? ”
So stingy? Qianqiu is speechless, no wonder Shui Lan wants to cooperate with her, this is to find a home for herself.
"The emperor has arrived."
The voice of Junzi's father-in-law sounded outside, and Qianqiu was slightly surprised, hey, this head is really here.
I went out of the palace late, saying that there was something, but I didn't know what to do, which means that the stone came to see her.
Chiaki was a little happy, and half-sat up and looked at the door.
Han Ziji looked tired, came in with supplements, put them on the stool next to her bed, and then began to undress herself.
"You... What are you doing? Chiaki was taken aback.
"What else can you do?" Han Ziji rolled his eyes angrily: "I haven't slept well for half a month, can I borrow half a bed for me?" ”
Looking at the dark circles under his eyes, Chiaki swallowed back the words of refusal, and watched him climb into bed, sit beside her and rub his eyebrows.
"Drink that tonic and your body will get better faster." Han Ziji pointed to the cup of things he brought.
"Oh." Chiaki reached out and brought it over, put it on her lap, opened the lid, and the fragrance was overflowing.
Good stuff.
Qianqiu picked up the spoon and ate it, eating it with relish, and the emperor next to her couldn't help but glance at her.
