Chapter 174: Right and Wrong
This matter is very important, so the emperor decreed that no one should be allowed to publicize this matter, everything was carried out in secret, and she kept calling her illness to the outside world, and handed over the affairs of the harem to Concubine Liu, and concentrated on dealing with the manufacture of glass mirrors. Although the principle of mirror making is simple, in this era when technology is not developed and there is no electricity, it is not as easy as imagined to make it, and it is not difficult to complete all the raw materials needed to make glass.
Even with the full support of the emperor, it is still difficult.
This matter is assigned to the Shang Gong Bureau to be responsible, every day to listen to the Shang Gong Bureau of the system, Si Zhen and so on to report the progress and production difficulties, she one by one to develop solutions, if there is a difficult problem, naturally also have to do it yourself, personally to the craftsman's workshop to view, and the craftsman to discuss the solution, so that a month of time flies by.
Calculating the date, the queen has been pregnant for more than five months, and she still has too many things to do, so she doesn't dare to slack off, and even reaches the point of forgetting to sleep and eat.
The emperor is also very concerned about this matter, and after he is busy with the affairs of the court every day, he will personally announce the craftsman in charge.
Batching, melting, forming, annealing...... Every time a problem is solved, a new one will be encountered, but with hard work, all difficulties will be solved, and every successful attempt will make them excited.
In addition to discussing this matter every day, the two have no extra energy to talk about the wind and snow. What outsiders see every day is that no matter how busy the emperor is, he must go to Yongning Palace every day.
The news that the concubine is favored by the harem is not new, but I don't know when, the news that the concubine covets the queen's position has spread, and it has been spread by word of mouth in the harem.
The news spread with nose and eyes, although outsiders are not familiar with the affairs of the harem, but they have also heard of it, although the queen is now pregnant with a dragon heir, but has not been favored by the emperor, and the concubine Niangniang since marrying the emperor, she is alone, and now the concubine Niangniang is already in charge of the phoenix seal, although there is no name of the queen, but there is already a queen.
She has always ignored these news, and the emperor knows it in his heart, so he also laughs at it.
At last she had some free time on this day, and she was crooked in the wooden attic, looking greedily at the beautiful landscape.
"Miss, miss." The scream hurried in.
She looked up, frowned, and asked, "What's so alarming?" ”
The palace maid entered the house and saluted, and said: "Niangniang, just now the slave maid met Gonggong Zhang of Qianqing Palace outside, and I heard Gonggong Zhang say that the emperor lost his temper in Qianqing Palace. ”
Lu Nuoxin was slightly stunned, his eyebrows frowned, since he ascended the throne, no matter what happened, no matter how annoyed or angry the letter was, he would deal with it as he pleased, he rarely lost his temper, what's wrong with it today?
She picked up the cloak on the side and put it on, and walked quickly to the Qianqing Palace.
It's late September, and the weather is getting cooler as soon as the autumn tiger passes. The solemn and solemn Qianqing Palace is silent.
In the hall, in front of the royal case carved with the Fulong Yuan case in black, the letter is dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, and the robe is embroidered with a five-clawed green dragon with gold thread bordering, which is extremely noble, majestic and majestic, and makes people dare not force to look.
His face was cold, the corners of his eyes were slightly raised, his eyes were deep, he couldn't see his expression, his thin lips were tightly pursed, and he sat there without saying a word.
He looked at the newly opened book in his hand, and the slender fingers that pinched the corner of the music were blue and white due to the exertion of his fingertips, revealing the anger that he could not hold back in his heart.
Several ministers knelt down with their heads bowed, they held their breath, fine sweat oozed from their foreheads, and the autumn wind spilled in outside, and they couldn't help but shiver.
The people in the palace outside the palace lowered their heads tightly, and they didn't dare to come out, and the sharp-eyed slave saw her coming from a distance, a trace of joy flashed in his eyes, and he raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat, as if he could finally take a breath, and hurriedly bowed his head and said: "The slave greets Niangniang!" ”
waited at the door for a long time, and the ministers in the hall sighed one by one, but the moment they saw her, their eyes flashed, and they hurriedly lowered their heads a little lower.
Without waiting for an announcement, she went straight into the inner sanctum.
The emperor raised his eyes, his cold and majestic eyes softened slightly, he put down the red pen, closed the piece in his hand, stretched out his hand to her, and said, "You are here." ”
"Yes." She answered softly, walked over to him as if no one was around, and was pulled by him to sit next to him. Both of them speak and act very naturally.
"What's wrong? Did they you off? She sat down and asked with a soft smile.
"Nothing." Xin raised his hand to brush the hair on her forehead that was scattered due to the hurry, the movement was gentle and natural, and said: "This time I have been busy for so long because of the mirror making matter, and I finally took a day off, you are not resting in the house, what are you doing here?!" ”
"I heard you've got a liver fire here, come and take a look."
She smiled, catching a glimpse of an open yellow piece of music that had been thrown in the corner of the imperial case, and it was clear that this book was one of the sources of his anger.
He closed the piece quickly, then took her hand, wrapped her cold hand in the palm of her hand, and said casually as if nothing had happened: "It's nothing to look at." ”
She was stunned, looked at the book suspiciously, and remembered the indignant expressions on the faces of the old ministers who had just left, plus the rumors that had spread so much recently, and her heart gradually became a little clearer.
She sighed, and when he refused to speak, she stopped asking. The letter pulled her over and let her lean into his arms, feeling warm and comfortable.
She looked through the gap in the folding of the screen, and landed on the unprocessed piece of the piece, sighing slightly, although she was reluctant, she still asked softly, "You don't have to deal with government affairs?" ”
Xin hugged her tightly with his arms, rested his chin on top of her head, lowered his eyes to hide the look in his eyes, and he muttered for a moment before he said in a low and deep voice, "Stay with you for a while." Those things don't hurt to let go. ”
Lu Nuoxin felt that something was wrong with him today, she sat up, turned to look at him, and saw that he was frowning, she frowned and asked, "Xin, what made you angry?" ”
Xin raised his hand and gently stroked her beautiful face, touching the darkness that appeared under her eyes due to her tiredness for days, and there was distress and depression in her eyes, but she smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's all trivial, don't worry, I can handle it." ”
As she spoke, she took her into her arms again, and let his chest become her support. She leaned on him quietly, feeling this rare moment of relaxation.
The fallen leaves flying outside the window were swept by the cold wind and swirled in the air, and finally fell on the moon-white window paper, blending white, revealing a faint desolation.
