I took the food box and entered the Xuanzheng Hall alone, Huangfu Chen sat on the dragon chair high, holding his forehead with his hand, the outline of his facial features was hidden in the shadow under his hands, his figure was magnificent, his complexion was bronze, and his angular side face was majestic, but he looked a little annoyed.

Ziqing and Qi Hao stood on the left and right, and they were silent. Ziqing was dressed in a yellow narrow-sleeved dragon robe, with golden auspicious clouds embroidered on the cuffs, a dark white jade belt around her waist, and a white jade exquisite waist pendant hanging on it. Qi Hao, on the other hand, is an ice-blue shirt with narrow sleeves, embroidered with royal blue silk threads on the placket and cuffs, indigo trousers tied in brocade boots, and a moon-white purse I gave him tied around his waist, with some wear and tear at the corners, quite a bit bold, and with a touch of elegance.

"The concubines see the emperor, and the emperor is blessed with gold." Only my voice echoed in the main hall, which seemed particularly abrupt. When Ziqing and Qi Hao heard my voice, they both raised their heads with surprise on their faces. It's no wonder that in the past, when I came to this Xuanzheng Palace, it was when Huang Fuchen was reviewing the recitals, so they naturally couldn't see me here.

Huangfu Chen's heavy and magnetic voice finally spoke, "Jiu'er is here, get up quickly, come forward and rub my shoulders." ”

Hearing the emperor's instructions, I naturally stood up quickly, walked to the dragon chair step by step with the food box, put the food box on the table in front of the palace, took out the soothing tea and lavender cake and placed them, and walked behind Huang Fuchen to knead them.

Ziqing and Qi Hao have grown into a handsome son, the height of the two is like mushrooms after a rain, Ziqing's three-dimensional facial features are as handsome as a knife, these years of tempering have made his whole person emit a kind of kingly spirit, but under his long and slightly curly eyelashes, there are still eyes as clear as morning dew, and a smile on his face all year round, like a jade man made of flawless jade.

On the contrary, it is Qi Hao, with fair skin like milk, a straight nose bridge, dark and deep eyes inlaid in those charming peach blossom eyes, full of affection, and a dizzying smile on the slightly raised corners of his mouth, a touch of handsomeness, and a touch of gentleness.

I have no time to take care of this picture of a beautiful man, and seeing that the three of them were silent, I had to open my mouth again, "I don't know what caused the emperor to be so angry, drink soothing tea, it is better to let the concubines share their worries." ”

Huangfu Chen snorted, "I'm not a good son yet." After that, he raised the Linglong cup and tasted a few sips, Xu catered to his taste, and the brows that had been tightly locked finally relaxed, and then said, "Liangzhou has been ready to move in recent years, and I ordered the king of the south to send troops to deter, he is good, the left one is reluctant to let the queen mother, and the right one is unwell, this is not obvious that he can't get along with me." ”

With a "snap", Huang Fuchen, who had just finished speaking, threw out the teacup in his hand and fell on the smooth marble floor of the main hall, shattering.

"The son doesn't dare, and the father is angry." Qi Hao immediately knelt on the ground, and there was some imperceptible touch in the corner of his eye.

I'm glad that the cup was thrown on the ground. And not on Qi Hao's forehead.

Liangzhou is ready to move, I heard about it five years ago, at that time Shi Brahma and Liangzhou had correspondence, and then Shi Brahma died and thought that this matter would be cold, I never thought that it was only five years, and Liangzhou couldn't bear it, didn't they think about my safety? If I have a tough confrontation with the southern country, aren't you afraid that the emperor will kill me to set an example?

"Since King Nan is unwell, it won't hurt the emperor to send another general, right?" I cautiously asked the angry Huangfu Chen.

"No, this is a mess left to him by his grandfather, and he has to clean it up by himself." It turned out that Shi Brahma was still in the emperor's heart, and it had been five years, and he finally turned his anger on Qi Hao.

"Prime Minister Shi Cheng has passed away for many years, and the king of Nan at that time was just a child, and the emperor asked him to deal with it, I'm afraid it was a little ......"

"Say!" My desire to speak stopped making Huang Fuchen a little impatient.

"It's a little unfair."

After I finished saying this, Huang Fuchen was speechless, his eyes looked coldly at Qi Hao who was kneeling on the ground, thoughtful.

Ziqing suddenly opened her mouth, "Father, Concubine An also makes sense, the imperial brother and I were still young and ignorant at that time, and we didn't know much about Ah Gong's affairs." "It is estimated that he is afraid that the emperor will blame me, after all, the harem is not allowed to participate in politics. But he didn't know that I often spoke up and talked about political affairs when the emperor was worried.

"That's it, Qi Hao, get up, Rong Zhen will think about this matter again." Huangfu Chen sighed heavily and let Qi Hao get up. Seeing that the two of them couldn't help much, he said, "It's been a long time since the morning dynasty, the emperor should rest, the prince and the king of the south have been in the Xuanzheng Hall for a long time, and it's time for lunch." He turned around and said to Qi Hao, "How long has it been since Nanwang saw the queen mother, Niangniang has been unwell recently, and often talks about Nanwang in front of our sisters." ”

When Qi Hao heard me say this, his lazy eyes finally condensed, and he asked a little anxiously, "Why don't you send someone to tell me if the queen mother is unwell, is the queen mother okay?" ”

"Presumably because I'm afraid that King Nan will worry, since the prince has come to the palace, it's good to go and see him, didn't you say the emperor?" I stood beside Huangfu Chen and said meekly.

"Then go, and stay with your queen mother." After all, the emperor still has some affection for the queen, and asked Qi Hao to retire to Shuyi Palace, Ziqing saw that Qi Hao was gone, so he saluted and said, "Since the imperial brother went to Shuyi Palace, the ministers will also retire." ”

Huangfu Chen said, "Don't be in a hurry to leave, it's rare to enter the palace, I know that you are close to Jiu'er since childhood, and now that I am worried about state affairs, you will accompany her for me." ”

Let the crown prince accompany the concubine?!

What does Huangfu Chen think! Aren't you afraid of being gossiped about? Aren't you afraid of ruining my reputation and Ziqing's reputation?

I looked at Huang Fuchen's side face, and still said, "Your Majesty, this is not appropriate." ”

Ziqing also replied, "My father also said that it was when I was a child, and now that my son and Concubine An are adults, we should not be too close." ”

His words are reasonable, but to me they sound very harsh, although I know that he often comes to see me secretly, but now he treats me like a stranger in front of the emperor, which still makes people's hearts sour.
