Chapter 51: The Emperor of Cold Love
Lan Hongzhen slapped the table on it and yelled impatiently, he was about to be tortured to death by this mother and son, if it weren't for the fact that he had promised Murong Qiuyue that he would never give up, he would really want to drive this seemingly gentle and virtuous woman out of the palace now.
Rubbing his temples and closing his eyes fiercely, Lan Hongzhen raised his head and stared at Murong Qiuyue, who was in tears in the audience, and said coldly, "Queen, you step back first, Yue'er is right, I have already said that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics!" ”
"Your Majesty?"
Murong Qiuyue shouted with tears in her eyes. She suddenly found that she began to understand the father and son, and they seemed to have formed a united front?
Is this good or bad for her.......
Lan Hongzhen twisted his head to the side, waved his hand with a calm face, which means that he can't leave or not.
"Mother, will you go back?"
Gonggong Deng walked over from the side, picked up the sad Murong Qiuyue on the ground, and said softly.
Murong Qiuyue glanced at Lan Yue, who was looking at her coldly, closed her eyes in pain, slowly straightened up with her holding Gonggong Deng's hand, and took a deep look at Lan Hongzhen, who didn't look at her at all, for a long time, held her head high, and slowly walked out of the hall.
In the main hall, it was suddenly quiet, only Lan Hongzhen and Lan Yue, who was kneeling on the ground, were dirty.
Lan Yue looked up and found that Lan Hongzhen was also staring at him in a daze, father and son are like this, you look at me and I look at you, and no one spoke for a long time.
"Father.."
Lan Yue whispered in a daze, his father is this a demon? Staring at him like a monster.
"Huh?"
Lan Hongzhen came back to his senses, smiled bitterly, and waved his hand, "You can also go back to the palace, go wash up and come back to see me, I can consider your proposal." ”
"Really? That's great, Father! The son will definitely live up to his father's expectations this time, son of the emperor...."
Blue Moon said excitedly.
"Okay, okay," Lan Hongzhen interrupted him, and said unhappily, "I just said to think about it, when did you agree?" It's not too late to talk to me when you're done. ”
"Yes, Father! Thank you for giving your son this opportunity, and your son will retire! ”
Lan Yue sincerely kowtowed to Lan Hongzhen, and then retreated with apprehension.
Even if the queen mother didn't give him a chance, as long as his father could help him believe in him, he believed that he would not be much worse than the prince's brother.
It's just that what gives him a headache is that this time, it is estimated that he still has to ask the prince's brother to help in private.
In the huge imperial study, only Lan Hongzhen was left.
He stretched out his arms, put his hands on the sides of the chair, tilted his head back, and lay back relaxed, staring vacantly at the empty ceiling of the temple.
Although the palace is big, it is as empty and cold as Lan Hongzhen's heart, there is only Murong Qiuyue in his harem, and he only has uncles and brothers, most of whom are sealed outside, and they are usually very respectful to him, and there is no sign of misdeeds. son, there are only two people, Lan Xing and Lan Yue, Lan Xing is the eldest son, and he naturally became the prince, but Lan Xing showed no disdain for this prince.
He also wanted to let the crown prince succeed to the throne as soon as possible, to fulfill the wish he had always wanted to complete but did not have time to fulfill.
"Alas!"
Lan Hongzhen couldn't help but let out a long sigh and closed his eyes.
"Your Majesty, let the old slave wait for you to go back to the palace to rest?"
Gonggong Deng's shrill voice sounded in Lan Hongzhen's ears, waking up Lan Hongzhen in his sleep.
He raised his head, opened his somewhat dark eyes, glanced around and asked, "What time is it?" ”
"Back to the emperor, it's already time."
Gonggong Deng lowered his head and replied respectfully.
"It's time? I won't go back to the palace, just rest in this imperial study, both horizontally and vertically, where to sleep is not sleeping? ”
Lan Hongzhen said with a wry smile.
"Your Majesty," Gonggong Deng helped Lan Hongzhen to get up, and while slowly walking towards the dormitory in the imperial study, he hesitated and spoke cautiously, "After so many years, you should also accept a concubine." ”
Hearing Gonggong Deng's words, Lan Hongzhen's footsteps paused slightly, and then he raised his feet casually and continued to walk inside.
"It's been so many years, so let's do it."
The tired voice carried infinite emotion.
At the beginning, when he promised Murong Qiuyue, he should have understood.
There is a good saying, it is forgivable to do sins in heaven, but you can't live if you do sins yourself!
I don't know, she's still there? If so, how are you doing?
Gonggong Deng helped Lan Hongzhen and followed his footsteps into a dormitory in the imperial study. Many times, His Majesty, the most noble emperor of the Southern Dynasty, lived in this gorgeous but deserted house, without the company of beautiful and enchanting concubines, and without the well-behaved and lovely palace maids to serve, he was as affectionate as Gonggong Deng, an old eunuch for many years.
Many times, Gonggong Deng is thinking, everyone in the world wants to be the emperor, and the people also know the love of the emperor and queen, and there is only one person in the harem for many years, but they don't know what the situation of the emperor and queen is, except for him, the old eunuch who serves closely.
Sometimes, Gonggong Deng even felt that Lan Hongzhen's life was not as happy as his own eunuch.
He stayed outside the Lan Hongzhen Hall every night, knowing that the emperor couldn't sleep all night, and he went to court with black circles under his eyes every day.
"Little Dengzi,"
Lan Hongzhen sat on the edge of the bed tiredly and called softly.
"Your Majesty, the old slave is here."
Gonggong Deng brought the basin to Lan Hongzhen and bowed down to reply.
Lan Hongzhen rolled up his sleeves, put his somewhat thin hand into the basin, washed it casually, and then took the towel handed over by Father-in-law Deng, wiped his hands and threw them into the basin, propped his hands on the edge of the bed, looked at the door with empty eyes and said,
"You say, how many years have you been following me?"
"Back to the emperor, the old slave followed you when he was ten years old, and after all, it's been thirty years, right?"
Grandpa Deng took a deep breath and recalled.
"Thirty years on.... Back then, you were still a little eunuch as tall as me, this moment," Lan Hongzhen glanced at Gonggong Deng and said with a wry smile, "This moment, look at you, the white hair has come out." ”
He looked down again at his long hair hanging down his shoulders, and there was a hint of silver in it. First Chinese Network
"Your Majesty, the old slave is old, but the Emperor, you are still young, your day... The old slave was also worried, the old slave felt that there was still a lack of a caring person around the emperor. ”
As he spoke, the corners of his eyes were already moist, and he couldn't help but wipe them with his sleeve.
Lan Hongzhen couldn't help but laugh when he saw him, "Little Dengzi, do you also think that I am too lonely here?" ”
"Uh-huh!"
Gonggong Deng nodded, most of the time there are only two people in the day, he and the emperor, isn't it too lonely?
"Do you have a good candidate?"
Grandpa Deng took off his boots for Lan Hongzhen, Lan Hongzhen put his feet on the bed, and asked with a funny look at Grandpa Deng's stubble-free chin.
"This... Where is the old slave selected? However, the emperor is in the prime of life, once you agree to choose a concubine, those ladies still have to squeeze their brains to enter the palace? You, choose two more lovely ones, and it's not bad to chat with you in your spare time! ”
Gonggong Deng thought that Lan Hongzhen had agreed, and hurriedly proposed seriously.
"We'll talk about it later."
Lan Hongzhen lay down on the bed and closed his eyes, he felt so tired!
"The emperor forgives the sin, it's the old slave who talks too much, and the old slave deserves to die!"
Seeing that Lan Hongzhen seemed to be a little displeased, Gonggong Deng hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.
"Huh!! You can also go and rest, just let the little forest guard. ”
Lan Hongzhen sighed and said.
"Yes! Emperor Xie is compassionate. ”
----------
In the study of the Prince's Mansion, Dark Er appeared in the room like a ghost, and then knelt down in front of Lan Xing and said, "Master, the second prince is back." ”
"Well, Hongu knows."
Lan Xing was sitting in front of the bookcase, drawing something on a piece of paper, and he replied without raising his head when he heard Dark Er's words, and the pen in his hand flew on the paper like a swimming dragon.
Dark Er was a little frightened, and he said again, "Master, all the disaster relief food has been robbed. ”
Bluestar's hand paused, then flew back on the paper.
"What else?"
He asked coldly.
Hehe, as he expected, in order to prevent Yue'er from leaving the imperial capital, the queen mother really did everything!
"And... Those robbers seem to be related to the Shenyue Cult. ”
Dark two said again.
"Shenyue Sect? Shenyue Sect? Hehe! ”
Blue Star groaned for a moment and sneered. It seems that the power of the queen mother is not bad, but does the kind and innocent Yue'er know these things?
It's just that he has pity on his father.
Anyway, he doesn't want the throne, let alone the emperor, as long as the queen mother doesn't count on himself, he doesn't bother to ask.
"Anything else?"
"Master, the second prince recommended himself to find out the robbers and retrieve the disaster relief food."
Dark two thought for a moment and said.
"What did the Emperor say?"
"The emperor didn't say he agreed, nor did he say he didn't agree, he only said that he could consider it."
Dark two reported truthfully.
Bluestar nodded, indicating that he understood, and then waved his hand to let Darker retreat.
The figure flashed, and the dark two were gone.
The candlelight illuminated the angular side face of the blue star, and it was getting colder and colder a little bit, and then colder, and the temperature in the study seemed to drop several degrees. He stared at the person painted in front of him, it was a girl, with delicate and delicate facial features, a sky-high ponytail, a face without powder, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and her eyes were smart, like a fairy from another world.
He picked up the pen again and wrote a small cloud in the lower left corner of the drawing, then circled it with a circle, and wrote a smaller star outside the circle.
Lan Xing put down the pen, picked up the painting, gently dried the ink with his mouth, and took a closer look, well, quite satisfied.
He carefully rolled up the painting, put it in a bamboo tube beside him, and then looked up and shouted out the door, "Come in." ”
"Your Highness."
Nangong walked in from outside the door, and when he saw Lan Xing, he hurriedly saluted, his handsome face was full of frost.
"What's wrong? Who borrowed your rice and paid you back the chaff? ”
Lan Xing asked with a leisurely raised eyebrow.
"Your Highness!"
Nangong was a little embarrassed, when did his master learn to joke?
"Then why do you keep a straight face?"
"It's not because of Concubine Tianbian... Empress. ”
Nangong pursed his lips very unhappily, he had been entangled by Concubine Tian outside the door for a while, and he couldn't get out, but he still saw Mama Han coming, so he took the opportunity to leave. These women are really too difficult.
"Concubine Tianfang? What about her? It stands to reason that she is still your master? You just don't want to see her like that? ”
Lan Xing couldn't help but laugh, Nangong is not divided between master and servant?
"Just now, my subordinates originally came to see His Highness, but they were stopped by the side concubine at the gate of the courtyard."
