180 - Temptation
waved away the palace people, Chu Qiansoft pulled her mother and said, "Mother, my daughter has something to ask her mother to help me." β
"Rou'er, what's wrong with you? Was he bullied in the palace? Mrs. Chu said distressedly.
Chu Xianrou said seriously: "Mother, I want my mother to help me find out the situation between the DPRK and China from my father." β
Mrs. Chu was shocked: "Rou'er, what do you mean by this? You know that your father has always been neutral and loyal only to the king. β
Chu Qianrou explained: "Mother, you don't know, since her daughter entered the palace, she has been favored by the emperor, although her daughter often persuades the emperor to be wet with rain and dew, but the emperor doesn't listen, because many mothers in this palace hate their daughters. If the emperor goes big in the future, and the princes of those mothers succeed to the throne, I am afraid that the fate of the daughter will be very miserable, and the daughter is even more afraid of affecting her father. So my daughter wants to know in advance and take precautions. β
Mrs. Chu nodded and said, "It's also hard for you, my mother understands, and my mother will ask your father when I go back." β
"Hmm." Chu Qianrou picked up a piece of dim sum and sent it to Mrs. Chu's lips, "Mother, how about you come and taste the pastries in this palace?" β
After sending her mother away, Chu Qianrou thought of other methods, such a big thing, it is not enough to rely on the news from her mother's side, and it is still a question whether her father is willing to reveal it.
"Your Majestyβ" Neiguan Li elongated his voice.
"What's the matter?" Murong Lin was a little displeased, he was facing the song with a headache.
"Concubine Rou asks to see you."
"Hurry up!" Before Neiguan Li walked out of the palace gate, Murong Lin had already gotten up to greet him, and said with a smile, "Concubine Ai, why are you here?" β
Chu Xian said softly: "The concubine is afraid that the emperor will only care about the review and folding, and she will hurt the dragon body by working too hard, so she personally stewed ginseng and black chicken soup to relieve the emperor's fatigue." β
"Aifei really has a heart." Murong Lin pulled her to sit down.
Chu Qianrou smiled and picked up the bowl, scooped up a mouthful of soup, and gently blew it to Murong Lin's lips: "The concubine feeds the emperor to drink!" β
"Haha, good!" Murong Lin enjoyed it very much, since she was named a concubine that day, she seemed to be a different person, it seemed that no matter what kind of woman she was, as long as she bothered to coax her, she would surrender.
"Is it good?" Seeing him finish drinking, Chu Qianrou asked with bent eyes.
"Delicious, delicious! I was dizzy when I watched the song, but thanks to the chicken soup sent by my concubine, I was refreshed again. β
Chu Qianrou stood up and walked behind him: "When the emperor is tired, take a rest and let the concubines press for you." β
Murong Lin leaned on the back of the chair and narrowed his eyes: "Then it's hard to love the concubine." β
Chu Qianrou pretended to be surprised while pressing him: "It turns out that the emperor has so many twists and turns to see every day!" β
"Not only do you have to look at it, but you also have to review it one by one, and my position is not so easy to sit in." Murong Lin pointed out.
"Why doesn't the emperor let the crown prince share the emperor's worries?"
"Concubine Ai is here to be a lobbyist for the prince?" Murong Lin said in a deep voice, his eyes like torches.
Of course, Chu Qianrou could hear the meaning of his words, thinking that if the emperor really misunderstood the prince, she couldn't ask for it, but she had to take herself out first, so she pretended to be aggrieved and said: "What do you mean, Your Majesty, the concubine just wants to share the emperor's worries, and the concubine can't wait to replace the emperor to approve the recital." However, the concubines are shallow, and the ancestors have ordered the harem not to interfere in politics, and the concubines can only be in a hurry. Thinking of the prince's request to see him yesterday, thinking that the prince is the prince, he can not only share the emperor's worries, but also learn the way to govern the country from the emperor, and be a wise monarch like the emperor in the future. β
"The prince asked to see him yesterday?" Sure enough, Murong Lin's attention was successfully diverted.
"The concubine didn't see it, although the concubine has a clear conscience, but it's not good for a lonely man and a widow to live in the same room." Saying that, she sighed again and said worriedly, "I don't know if the concubine will offend His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Queen Mother by doing this." β
"It's okay, with me supporting you, you don't have to be afraid of offending anyone."
"Thank you for the emperor's protection."
Murong Lin closed his eyes again: "I've been very late lately, Concubine Ai, you read the recital to me." β
"The concubine doesn't dare."
"Don't dare?" Murong Lin opened his eyes unhappily, he got up and came to the desk to pick up a book and spread it out in her hand, "If I tell you to read it, you will read it!" β
"Your Majesty's ......" Chu Qianrou was so frightened that she fell to the ground as soon as her hand slipped, she hurriedly knelt down, put her hands together, and said in a panic, "The emperor forgives the sin!" β
"Forgiveness?"
"Your Majesty, although the concubines are women, they also know what they can and can't do, and their father has always taught their concubines to be loyal to the monarch and patriotism, and it is their duty to serve the emperor well. The concubines wanted to share the emperor's worries, but the concubines didn't dare to exceed the rules, and asked the emperor to forgive their sins. The concubine can make tea and grind for the emperor, just reading this kind of thing, the concubine will never dare! β
Murong Lin took the fold with a smile, and then took her hand again: "You get up, I won't force you." β
"Thank you for your kindness."
"Go make me a pot of tea."
"Yes, please wait a while, the concubine will come."
Murong Lin sneered and put the fold back on the case, even if she knew each other, if she really saw it, she wouldn't be able to pet it in the future. Although he is obsessed with his mind, after all, he is also an emperor, playing with the government and politics, and he is a master of trade-offs, so he will naturally not be without scheming.
Chu Qianrou just mentioned the prince, and he suddenly wondered in his heart, could it be that she suddenly changed so much because she was attached to the prince and deliberately pleased herself so that she could help the prince speak? He hasn't died yet, those unfilial sons covet his throne one by one, and now even this Chu Sui can't sit still?
However, after some temptation just now, she really just mentioned the prince unintentionally, and she didn't have any other thoughts. However, since he was already suspicious, he naturally wouldn't let his guard down like that.
After Chu Qianrou sent the brewed tea, she offered to leave, and it was not until she returned to the Frost Pavilion and closed the door that she poured two cups of tea in a row, stroking her chest and panting. Sure enough, if the change is too fast, it will arouse the emperor's suspicion, and this time it can be regarded as a fool, but it cannot be taken lightly. This kind of thing must not be rushed, and you must be calm. As long as you pass this level, you will be able to have a smooth sail in the future.
After that, Chu Qianrou still pretended to be heartless, the emperor gave her a reward and laughed, let her be wronged, she made a little temperament, turned into a tasteful little daughter-in-law, and the emperor coaxed her to become a little goblin. In this way, she left an innocent impression on the emperor and made the emperor very happy. The emperor was also happy to smile at the beautiful woman, and sent good things to Yuxiu Palace one by one.
But there is one point, once it comes to the affairs of the court, she immediately retreats, even if she makes the emperor angry, she still insists on her opinion. After coming down again and again, Murong Lin finally reassured her. If she really had the intention of forming a gang, the lustful Murong Lin would also spoil her, but he would not trust her, and at most treat her as a plaything. And now, Murong Lin not only spoiled her, but also gave her a lot of real power, but she never used it, as long as she pestered the emperor, she didn't care about anything else.
One day, Murong Lin put his arm around Chu Qianrou and asked, "Concubine Ai, I think you looked cold when you first entered the palace, but now you are judging two people." Tell me, why did you suddenly change? β
Chu Qianrou hooked his neck and said: "Before the concubine entered the palace, she only had a one-sided relationship with the emperor, and she was only afraid of the emperor's dragon power, plus the day she entered the palace...... The concubine was in pain for a long time, because the concubine was scared when she saw the emperor and just wanted to go home. Until that day, the concubine saw the Fifth Highness in Zichen Palace. Looking at the appearance of the Fifth Highness and the emperor, the concubine suddenly had a very wonderful feeling, it turned out that what was in front of her was not only the Son of Heaven, but also a loving father, and also the husband of the concubine, so the concubine no longer thought about him, and only thought about the emperor in her heart. The emperor is the heaven of the concubines, everything is the concubines, and the concubines must serve the emperor well. β
Murong Lin was very satisfied with this answer, so he trusted her even more, and often talked to her about some political affairs. But at this time, she always deliberately avoided the topic. Murong Lin hugged her in his arms: "Concubine, just listen to my complaints." β
"Your Majesty, this is not ...... appropriate"
"Oh, you!" Murong Lin said helplessly, "The ancestor left a warning that the harem should not interfere in politics, because he was afraid of causing trouble to the court, but that was not absolute, for example, if the young emperor ascended the throne, the queen mother could listen to the government and discuss state affairs with the auxiliary ministers." Ai Concubine, you have a pure mind, and you have no intention of harming the court, and listening to my complaints and grievances does not belong to violating the admonitions of your ancestors. β
Chu Qianrou stared at him suspiciously with innocent eyes, and shook his head after a while: "But my father said ......"
Murong Lin blew two beards unhappily: "Chu Sui is old and stubborn, don't listen to him!" β
Chu Qianrou snorted and laughed: "If my father knew that the emperor said this about him, he would definitely be sad!" β
Seeing her laughing, Murong Lin also laughed: "You can still make me happy, and the others will know about the situation between the DPRK and China one by one." I'm not dead yet, they can't wait to plan for themselves, and none of them will make me worry! β
"The emperor wants to talk nonsense!" Chu Qianrou covered his mouth, lowered his head and said with a red face, "The emperor is fierce and fierce, what can't he die?" β
"Hahaha!" Her appearance completely pleased Murong Lin, "Concubine Ai is so sensible, I want to spoil you well!" β
"The imperial doctor said that the emperor, you have to take care of the dragon body!"
"Didn't Concubine Ai say that my body and bones are good!"
Murong Lin was already old, and his health was getting worse, and after Chu Qianrou entered the palace, he forcibly forced Yunyu and hollowed out his body. In the past few days, he has been a little cold, and the imperial doctor has persuaded him to recuperate, but he can't withstand Chu Qianrou's temptation, so he pampered her twice in a row, and finally made himself sick.
After Murong Lin fell ill, Chu Qianrou was also undressed, but she was still called by the queen and Yu Guifei to reprimand her. Those who are also concubines have been in the palace for a long time, and they are also sneering while calling their sisters. As for those with low ranks, although they didn't dare to clash with her head-on, they did a lot of things to fan the flames, and gloated when they saw her being reprimanded.
Chu Qianrou didn't fight back, she just silently wrote down this account in her heart, she had more important goals, she didn't have time to worry about them, and when she was empty in the future, she would clean them up one by one.
Chu Qianrou was feeding Murong Lin medicine with tears in her eyes.
"Aifei, what's wrong with you?"
Chu Qianrou blamed herself: "The concubine is blaming herself, causing the emperor's dragon body to be damaged, and the concubine is ...... The concubine is to blame......"
Murong Lin held her hand: "What are these words, Concubine Ai, I just have a cold, and it's not a big deal." β
"But if it weren't for the concubines pestering the emperor without measure, the emperor would not have aggravated. The queen mother and the noble concubine reprimanded correctly, and the concubine is the one who flatters the country......"
"Bastard!" Murong Lin was furious.
"The emperor forgives his sins!" Chu Xianrou knelt down with a "bang".
"Get up, I'm not talking about you. When they say that you are a misfortune to the country, don't they say that I am the faint king? β
