Chapter 42: Confusion and Worry
"Oh, is it? It seems that Zitong really likes you very much. Xiao Jingwu just said lightly, and then said to Ming Shiyun again, "However, Zitong's ability to take care of the harem is unparalleled, but in terms of teaching children, Ruotong still has more experience, and Ruotong is always idle over Zitong, so it's better to invite Ruotong to come and sit down, she should be able to give you more and better things." ”
"Yes, the concubine knows, so the concubine will go to Sister Hua's palace to sit and ask her to talk about the way of birth and education for the concubine." Since Xiao Jingwu clearly said this kind of thing, of course Ming Shiyun could only obediently respond, but her heart was really a little puzzled because of such an attitude.
In the end, is the emperor really thinking that Concubine Hua is more fruitful than the queen in teaching children? Or is it warning her not to think that her child can become the crown prince? The meaning of this layer in the emperor's words is really impossible to think about it, and I always feel that I think too much and it turns out to be wrong.
It wasn't until the eunuch on duty came to remind Xiao Jingwu that it was almost time to move to the concubine who turned over the cards today to rest, Ming Shiyun's heart still couldn't care less about this matter, so the expression on her face also looked a little wistful, which made Xiao Jingwu misunderstand that she was reluctant to leave by herself.
"Don't be sad about your concubine." Leaned over and kissed Ming Shiyun's petal-like delicate little face, Xiao Jingwu rarely softened his posture to comfort her, "I also had to leave Concubine Ai for the sake of harem balance, otherwise you should be misunderstood again, that's really something I can't bear to see, can you bear with it?" I'll come to see you every day, my dear. ”
"The emperor can go, the concubine is not a willful child who doesn't know the world and doesn't understand His Majesty, and the concubine wants to relieve His Majesty's worries before coming to the palace, how can she be angry with the emperor for such a thing." knew that it was his expression that caused Xiao Jingwu to misunderstand, but how could Ming Shiyun stupidly explain it to Xiao Jingwu? At the moment, it is simply wrong to make mistakes, and it just happens to make Xiao Jingwu pity and pamper himself.
"Your Majesty has come to Fenghua Palace every day, and the concubines have long been so happy that they don't know how to repay Your Majesty, you are really good to your concubines, and the concubines will not be the ones who don't know the emperor's hard work, I want to be Your Majesty's interpretation flower, do you say it's okay."
"Okay, okay, you've been my interpreter for a long time." Shu Changlang laughed, Xiao Jingwu was reluctant to leave, and Ming Shiyun hugged her in his arms and kissed her fiercely twice before letting go and turning away.
Waiting until she couldn't see Xiao Jingwu's back anymore, Ming Shiyun's well-behaved sweet smile that was almost frozen on her face slowly dispersed, although she never looked back, she did know that Tang Wanyi was already standing behind her intimately waiting for her to order things at any time.
"Wanyi, do you say that Your Majesty likes the five princes more, or does he like the princes more?"
"This ...... Why did the mother suddenly ask about this? ”
"When I tempted His Majesty just now, the emperor directly asked me to learn the way of teaching children from Concubine Hua, but he made it clear that the queen was inferior to Concubine Hua in this regard, so I was thinking...... Does the emperor have any plans? The voice was very soft, and when Ming Shiyun spoke, she pulled Tang Wanyi to the center of the main hall, unobstructed, and no one could eavesdrop.
"It's hard to say." Hearing this, Tang Wanyi also lowered her voice to the lightest, thought for a moment and replied cautiously, "When I was still a female official of Shangyi by Your Majesty's side, there were indeed times when the emperor praised the five princes and blamed the prince, but the slave maid thought that the degree of expectation of the prince was different from that of ordinary princes after all, so although on the surface, the emperor preferred the five princes, but some things may not be as they seem. ”
"There's some truth to that, too." Ming Shiyun nodded thoughtfully, and asked again, "Then what do you think of the reason why Your Majesty asked me to learn from Concubine Hua Gui, but didn't let me find the queen?" ”
"This ...... This slave doesn't dare to say it, the emperor's mind has always been difficult to guess, and now the dispute between the prince and the five princes and the three princes' sisters-in-law is only secretly carried out under the table after all, the prince is very good, and the queen's family supports, I'm afraid it's not so easy to deal with, according to the slave maid, we might as well ...... Wait. ”
"But I'm afraid, we can't afford to wait." Raised his hand and gently stroked his abdomen twice, his body was not yet three months old, but Ming Shiyun had already begun to feel a strangeness connected by blood, "The matter of Imperial Doctor An has just passed, who knows what will happen next?" If we can't find someone to rely on, I'm really afraid that my children will ......."
"This ...... It's also a drag. Tang Wanyi didn't understand Ming Shiyun's worries, and also thought that it was indeed the top priority now, but now the situation in the harem was involved in the battle for succession, which was like a fog, if you were in a hurry to decide, I was afraid that the gains would outweigh the losses, and you would have to make a trade-off in a moment, but it would be unwise.
