Chapter Ninety-Nine
Diligent Palace.
"Your Majesty, it's late, it's time to rest." When Gonggong He saw that the emperor had reviewed the folds all night, he couldn't help but persuade him.
"Hmm." Although he said so, Qi Bingyu still didn't mean to get up and go to the dormitory, he sat on the dragon chair with his head propped up, his eyes were sour, and he unconsciously closed his eyes to rest.
As soon as Qi Bingyu closed his eyes, what came to mind was the woman in white dancing on the war drums in front of the three armies at today's marching ceremony.
The dancing posture is light, like a frightening wave, graceful like a swimming dragon, every step is a gentle and strong force, the graceful figure under the white clothes of the holy snow is outlined by the wind, perfect curves, long ink-dyed hair.
Vaguely, Qi Bingyu seemed to return to that happy Chinese New Year's Eve night many years ago, a woman stepped on the snow in the thick of the water vapor, dancing on the Yaochi light boat, the same white clothes won the snow, the dance was light and soft, beautiful.
"The autumn breeze is clear, the autumn moon is bright, the fallen leaves gather and disperse, and the jackdaws are frightened." Qi Bingyu sighed deeply, stood up and walked to the window, looking at the calm imperial city, dotted with stars in the distance, it seemed to be calm as water, and it was peaceful for a moment.
"When do you know when you will see each other? It's embarrassing to be on this night! Enter my lovesick door, know that I am lovesick, long-term lovesickness, long-term lovesickness, short-term lovesickness is infinite, I knew that it was so stumbling, how could I not know each other at the beginning. ”
"Taibai really perfectly interprets my heart!" Qi Bingyu raised his head and sighed.
Gonggong He had long heard that at the festival today, the emperor had to see a woman who danced like the first queen, and it was no wonder that the emperor missed the first queen so much today.
Gonggong He has been by the emperor's side for many years, and he has accompanied him from the enthronement to the present, and he understands the relationship between him and Lu Fushuang the most, Rao is a harem of 3,000 beauties, and Qi Bingyu has only one Lu Fushuang in his heart from beginning to end.
After Lu Fushuang's death, Qi Bingyu's heart has always been empty, and his current preference for Concubine Mei Xia Rongxin is just based on the feelings that have accompanied him over the years, as long as Lu Fushuang appears, everyone will look bleak.
Qi Bingyu still owes Lu Fushuang after all, and the two have been together for a long time, but before Lu Fushuang died, Qi Bingyu stayed in Concubine Mei's Yichun Hall because of greed and drunkenness, but he didn't see Lu Fushuang for the last time.
The rain that night has been shrouded in Qi Bingyu's heart, and he has not cleared the clouds and mist to see the light for a long time.
"He Sheng." Qi Bingyu called.
"The minions are here." Gonggong He listened to the emperor's call, and hurriedly stepped forward.
"Who is the woman in white dancing on the drums of war today?" Qi Bingyu asked.
Gonggong He pondered for a while, the wars were frequent, and the festival was in such a hurry, the palace had been handed over to the adults of Qin Tianjian to handle, Gonggong He was busy with the emperor's body, and he had to wait for the emperor to read the papers, and occasionally had to go to Concubine Mei, as the head of the inner house, he really didn't have time to take care of those things.
"The emperor forgives the sin, but the slave doesn't know." Gonggong He said truthfully, "The festival was done in a hurry, so I didn't submit the list to the Ouchi for inspection, and the servants have been busy with the affairs of the palace recently, and they are really negligent. However, the Lord of the Qin Heavenly Prison has a list of them, and the servants will go and get them early tomorrow morning, and they will know by then. ”
"Hmm." Qi Bingyu responded, then returned to the table, picked up a case file, and suddenly seemed to think of something, "How is Concubine Mei doing over there, Jing Qin is on the expedition, is she okay now?" ”
"Niangniang is knowledgeable, Jing Wangye is in command of the expedition, it is a good thing for the country and the family, the prince makes a living for the people of the world, Niangniang will understand." Gonggong He leaned over and said, "It's just that the prince has been with Niangniang since he was a child, and the queen has never left Shangjing for a long time. ”
"I know, the state affairs have been heavy recently, so I will go to the Yichun Palace to see her when I have time. He Sheng, you take a few pieces of jewelry from the treasury and send them to Yichun Palace, in addition, the brocade sent by the prefect of Beijing is also sent, the weather is cold, and you have to make new clothes. Qi Bingyu continued to look through the folds.
"The brocade sent by Zaojing is for the emperor to make regular clothes... This..."Gonggong He was a little embarrassed, Qi Bingyu hadn't made new clothes for a long time, and the emperor had lived so clearly, which made people a little confused.
"It doesn't matter, the current state affairs, wars are frequent, we can save what we can, and we can't treat the front-line soldiers badly." He flipped through the fold, looked at it for a while, frowned, picked up a dotted pen and dipped it in red ink, and drew a cross on the fold he was reading, "Another twist to impeach the prince!" We can't wait until after the war is over! ”
In the final analysis, Qi Bingyu's heart is biased towards Qi Jingqin, but now that Qi Jingqin is in command, the country cannot be without a monarch for a day, Qi Bingyu himself understands his body, and the prince is indispensable, even if it is Qi Jingyang, he can justifiably ascend the throne after his death and inherit the unification.
Qi Bingyu coughed angrily twice, he covered his chest, there was a pain in his heart, and his facial expression was almost distorted in pain.
Gonggong He hurriedly stepped forward to support Qi Bingyu, and while stroking his back for him, he shouted to the equally panicked eunuch behind him: "What are you doing in a daze!" Why don't you go to the Forest Academy! ”
"Come back!" Qi Bingyu raised his hand and signaled, "Ahem!" Don't pass on the doctor, don't go. ”
He slowly stopped coughing, but Gonggong He was still not at ease, so he picked up the hot tea on the table and gave it to him: "Your Majesty, please ask the imperial doctor to come and feel at ease." ”
Qi Bingyu took the hot tea and took a sip, the hot tea warmed up his body after the stomach, and his heart was not as painful as Fang Cai, he shook his head and said: "It's so late, the imperial doctor is here, you are relieved, but it will make the courtiers worried." ”
After all, at this time, the mountains and rivers are turbulent, wars are frequent, and the people are struggling to make a living.
He Gonggong blessed his body and retreated to the side worriedly.

Yichun Palace.
"Mother, aren't you resting yet?" Aunt Yun Xi waited outside the dormitory, and suddenly she always heard Concubine Mei sigh softly, and couldn't help but ask softly.
"Yun Xi, you come in." Xia Rongxin always thought about the woman in white dancing on the war drums today, and she couldn't sleep well.
Aunt Yun Xi pushed the door in response, Concubine Mei was leaning on the bed railing at this time, and the windows in the dormitory were also wide open, Yun Xi saw it, and hurriedly went over to close the carved windows of the dormitory, and kept saying: "Niangniang, it's autumn, it's windy at night, how can you sleep with the window open, you will catch a cold." ”
Xia Rongxin beckoned to Yun Xi, Yun Xi knelt under the bed and looked up at Xia Rongxin: "Niangniang, what's wrong with you?" ”
"Lu Fushuang is back." Xia Rongxin said seriously.
Yun Xi was shocked: "How is it possible? The first queen has already entered the imperial mausoleum, how can she come back? Is the mother having a nightmare? ”
Xia Rongxin shook her head, closed her eyes in annoyance, and leaned her head on the bed rail: "At today's marching festival, the goddess who danced on the war drums is just like Lu Fushuang who danced on the Yaochi light boat on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve..."
As she spoke, she opened her eyes again and looked at Yun Xi, her expression solemn and painful: "Don't you see it, the emperor's eyes on the woman seem to be Lu Fushuang's reincarnation, it was Jingqin who took command of the expedition, but as soon as the woman appeared, there were more than 100,000 people in the Mingtai schoolyard, but in the eyes of the emperor, it seemed to be empty, and his eyes kept looking at her until the woman walked out of the school. ”
"Isn't it wrong? I am a big country in the Celestial Empire, millions of people, it is extremely normal to have similarities, maybe they just look like the first queen? Yun Xi pulled a smile and said with relief, "The first queen has passed away for so long, the emperor and her are married couples, it is very normal to see similar people moved, don't go to your heart." ”
