Chapter 125: The Emperor's Commendation
"Okay, I really didn't misunderstand you, Yu'er, you really didn't disappoint me, come, bring the things." The emperor smiled, and his normally heavy face also smiled a little at this time, and his eyes were full of love when he looked at Zhou Chengyu.
When the queen heard this, a flash of light flashed in her eyes, and she watched Li Dequan walking over with a tray covered with red silk, and her whole body was full of joy.
"Your Majesty, the things have been brought." Li Dequan said respectfully.
The emperor nodded, "Go to the second prince." ”
Li Dequan agreed, walked quickly to Zhou Chengyu's side and said, "Second prince, this is a reward from the emperor, please." ”
Zhou Jinghan immediately took it with both hands, and he was looking forward to it very much, but in order to show that he was stable, he was still not in a hurry, and calmly unveiled the red silk.
There are two things on the plate, one is a huge night pearl, this night pearl is unusual, not only because it is big, but engraved with royal patterns and characters, is a symbol of glory, since the emperor Zhou Yuzheng ascended the throne, only two people have been rewarded, one is Zhou Jinghan, in order to reward him for many battles, for the Great Zhou has made great contributions, the other is Princess Wenhe, she married the Western Xia for the peace of the Great Zhou and the Western Xia.
Now, Zhou Chengyu has become the third person to obtain this imperial pearl, he is naturally happy, and even the queen nodded secretly.
Another reward was a yellow silk cloak embroidered with a python, which was delicately embroidered and exquisite.
"Yu'er, don't thank the emperor soon." The queen also suppressed the excitement in her heart, and Wen Sheng said to Zhou Chengyu.
Zhou Jinghan was overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked him, "Thank you, father!" ”
"Well, you deserve it, and you've worked hard this time." The Emperor nodded and said.
The queen took the opportunity to say: "Yes, the emperor, you see that Yu'er has lost weight, and I heard the little guy who was serving next to him say that Yu'er was supervising the work in the rain and was seriously ill in Jinzhou." ”
"Oh? Okay now? The emperor asked hurriedly.
Zhou Chengyu replied: "Back to my father, my son is already well, and my father doesn't have to worry about it." ”
"That's good, you can rest for the next few days." The emperor said.
"Yes, thank you, Father!"
"This is the new Maoshanjian this year, I know you love to drink, and I will reward you." The emperor said, pointing to a brocade box on the side.
"Father, the sons don't dare, Maoshan Jian Tea only produces one box a year, and the father loves it the most, and the sons and daughters don't want it."
The emperor waved his hand, "You have made such a big contribution this time, how about rewarding you with a box of tea?" Take it! ”
"Your Majesty, Yu'er is filial to you, and he wants to leave this tea to you." The queen said softly.
The emperor glanced at the empress, and there was a warm smile on his face, "I know that Yu'er is filial, this is my reward for him, there is no need to refuse, in the end, it is also your good teaching." ”
The queen smiled, and she was very happy in her heart, there are many beauties in the emperor's harem, she has long been old and decrepit, although she tries her best to maintain it, but after all, she is not defeated by those new women who enter the palace, so she has been neglected all these years, and only the name of the queen makes her still have a bit of honorable status, at the same time, she also pinned all her hopes on Zhou Chengyu, the only son, and now Zhou Chengyu has made meritorious contributions, the emperor looks happy, and he is also kind to her A lot, the queen naturally can't help but be happy.
"The emperor has won the award, in the end, it is the emperor who sets an example, Yu'er also learns, the concubine is a woman's family, and he can't teach anything, but he just worries about some ordinary trivial things for him, but fortunately, Yu'er is angry, so as not to make the concubine angry, the last time the concubine suddenly fell ill, Yu'er has been guarding, and went to Hanshan Temple to make a wish."
"Yes, Yu'er, these days you are outside, and your mother is also very concerned, now that you are back, then accompany your mother well, and then go out of the palace later." The emperor commanded.
"Yes! Sons obey! ”
The smile on the queen's face at this time was really bright, she picked up a piece of meaty eggplant and put it in the emperor's bowl, "This is the emperor's favorite food, eat more, the emperor has worked hard recently, and he has lost weight." ”
The emperor picked it up and put it in his mouth, swallowed it and said, "It's okay, I have Yun Concubine to take care of her, and she has always been careful." ”
The queen's hand suddenly stopped, and her face froze for a moment, but then she smiled as usual, "Yes, Sister Yun Concubine is the best at taking care of people, not only has a good appearance, but also can sing and dance, which is really commendable." ”
"Yes, I also like it very much, I plan to let her raise the sixth prince, Cheng Tian's biological mother died early, I should find a mother for him."
The queen was still smiling, but this smile was stiff and looked a little unnatural, and her voice was still gentle, "Yes, it is indeed appropriate." ”
"Well, okay, I still have to go and review the excerpts, and you mother and son will have a good narrative." After saying that, the emperor left.
"Congratulations to the emperor."
"Congratulations to my father."
Seeing the emperor's back getting farther and farther away, the queen's face became more and more gloomy, she clenched her fists tightly, and her nails sank into the flesh.
"Queen Mother......" The second prince looked at the queen and knew that she was not feeling at this time.
"Since you left the capital, the emperor has not stepped here once, and even for fifteen nights, the emperor did not come, but went to accompany Concubine Yun." The queen muttered.
"Don't be sad, the queen mother."
"How can I not be sad? That slut didn't know what fox trick she used, and she made the emperor so infatuated with her! The queen's voice was much thicker because of her anger.
"Indeed, Yun Concubine has no heirs, and it is really rare that she can still reach today's status."
The queen closed her eyes and rubbed her forehead gently, the joy just now was long gone, she looked a little haggard, "Over the years, there have been waves of women in the palace, who I haven't seen?" But the only one who can be spoiled to this extent is Concubine Yun! I have to guard against it, if it goes on like this, I'm afraid that I, the queen, will give way to her! ”
Zhou Chengyu frowned, "Queen Mother...... Well, isn't it? ”
"How not? Didn't you see that the emperor was going to give her a son? It doesn't matter if you can't give birth to yourself, the emperor will give it to her! ”
Zhou Chengyu whispered: "Queen Mother, in Concubine Yun's meal, but there is still that medicine?" ”
The queen squinted her eyes and nodded, "Naturally, there is, for so long, she eats every day, I'm afraid that she won't have children in the future." With that, a sinister smile bloomed at the corner of her mouth.
"Then what is the queen mother worried about? Now that the number of princes under his father's knees is not large, if there is something wrong with Zhou Chengtian this time...... She Yun Concubine can't have children either! Zhou Chengyu whispered.
Hearing this, the queen gradually sneered, "Yes, people eat whole grains, who can't get sick?" ”
Zhou Chengyu did not speak.
The queen came back to her senses, looked at the things that Zhou Chengyu had rewarded by the emperor in her hand, and finally had some comfort, she said, "However, among the princes, you are the most outstanding and the least appreciated by the emperor, you must not relax, although the six princes are still young, they can take on some things in two years, I don't know what will happen, you are the only hope of the queen mother, Yu'er, your goal...... It's the Ninety-Five Supreme! ”
Zhou Chengyu nodded heavily, "Yes, my son knows!" ”
"Now that the emperor values you, you have to take this opportunity to make him happy, the crown prince has not yet been decided, and the queen mother is uneasy."
"The queen mother can rest assured that her son will definitely do his best."
The queen looked at him and smiled, "Okay, it's just...... This time the matter must not be revealed, the Soho you mentioned, but it has been resolved? ”
Zhou Chengyu listened, and he was also unsure in his heart, "This ...... Erchen also didn't know, and the people sent out did not come back. ”
"What? Why are you so careless? The queen was a little anxious.
"But she didn't come back either."
The queen thought for a while and said: "This is not an ordinary woman, very strategic, if the matter is not revealed, take her for your own use, it will be more beneficial to you, wait, if she can't come back, forget it, if she comes back, you let Su Kun probe first, if she doesn't know the truth, you have to try your best to win her over, it's really not good, you can also marry her, put her at home, after all, she is your person, she will naturally be towards you." ”
"Yes, my son remembers." Although Zhou Chengyu agreed, Zhou Chengyu didn't think about what the queen said about marrying Soho, because he had a lot of contact with Soho, and he didn't think that she could get it easily, but if it was really possible...... That's interesting.
"These days, isn't there any movement on Zhou Jinghan's side?" Zhou Chengyu asked.
The queen shook her head, "According to the report from the spies I sent, he has been cultivating these days, and he didn't even go out of the door, it seems that he is really sick, after all, the matter of the execution ground, the emperor must be suspicious of him, and he wanted to take advantage of this heat to make him stumble again, but he didn't expect him to refuse to come out, but there was no chance." ”
Zhou Chengyu suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart, he always felt that he had been with Zhou Jinghan these days, but it was obviously impossible, and Bai Renqing's figure gradually appeared in Zhou Chengyu's mind.
Out of the palace, Zhou Chengyu returned to the mansion, and Su Kun was already waiting there.
"Why are you here?" Zhou Chengyu looked at him and asked.
Su Kun came over and whispered, "Soho is back." ”
"What?" Zhou Chengyu's eyes widened, "She actually came back...... With whom? ”
"She's the only one, no one else." Su Kun replied.
"Isn't there a single one with the surname Bai?" Zhou Chengyu felt strange, he could see that Bai Renqing's feelings for Soho were not ordinary, didn't he come back together?
"No, she did come back alone, and there was no one else around." Su Kun replied in the affirmative.
Zhou Chengyu nodded, not knowing what was going on.
"When you go back, go to her and probe her to see if there's anything wrong with her." Zhou Chengyu commanded.
"Yes!"
After Su Kun left, Zhou Chengyu suddenly fidgeted, now that Su He is back, he probably has to think of a countermeasure.
