Chapter 236: Changes in the Capital (23)
The emperor's words seemed to encourage Deng Li, Deng Li plucked up her courage, suddenly knelt in front of the emperor, and spoke, "Your Majesty, the courtiers have one thing that I want to ask the emperor to fulfill." ”
"Oh? What's the matter? The emperor did not immediately agree, but asked.
"The courtier wants to marry ......" Before Deng Li finished speaking, Concubine Jin's face turned pale and she immediately spoke out to stop her.
"Li'er, you must not be presumptuous in front of the emperor." Concubine Jin then remembered that this niece wanted to marry King Yi, and now that she has the emperor's promise, she will naturally not let go of this opportunity, but the emperor has already shown that she has such a meaning for Deng Li, and Concubine Jin can't let Deng Li say that.
"Auntie......" Deng Li looked at Concubine Jin with a serious face for some reason.
"Who do you want to marry?" The emperor asked with a cold face.
"The emperor misunderstood, Li'er has been in the boudoir and has not said anything, this marriage should also be decided by the concubine's brother and sister-in-law, where can I come with Li'er." Concubine Jin smiled reluctantly and explained to the emperor.
"Auntie, you..." Deng Li didn't expect Concubine Jin to stop her, and looked at Concubine Jin with a look of surprise.
Concubine Jin looked at Deng Li warningly, and Deng Li was too frightened to speak.
"I didn't ask you, I asked her." The emperor said coldly to Concubine Jin.
Seeing the emperor's serious appearance, Concubine Jin also knelt down with a shudder, "Please forgive the emperor." ”
Deng Li hasn't reacted yet, how could things have become like this, she just wants to ask the emperor to give her a marriage, as long as she can enter the palace of King Yi, she doesn't care what identity she enters, but the appearance of Concubine Jin just now obviously doesn't let herself say it.
What happened in between?
The emperor was still staring at Deng Li, waiting for Deng Li's answer, Concubine Jin looked down at Deng Li, Deng Li woke up like a dream, she didn't discuss this matter with her grandfather, father and mother, so she recklessly asked the emperor, so her aunt stopped herself.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this was the possibility.
"Back to the emperor, the courtiers don't want to marry anyone, what the courtiers want to say is: The courtiers want to add the emperor's seal to this pair of words, so that the words of the courtiers will become priceless." Deng Li spoke roundly.
Concubine Jin also breathed a sigh of relief.
When Deng Li saw Concubine Jin's appearance, she knew that she had passed this level.
"Okay." Deng Li has already said this, and the emperor naturally doesn't care about the truth of this anymore, and responds happily. Then he took out a private seal from his body, stamped Deng Li's words, and asked his father-in-law to take it to Deng Li.
"Your Majesty." Deng Li pretended to be happy on her face, and the emperor felt a little more comfortable when he looked at it.
"Get up." The emperor shouted, and the aunt and nephew stood up one after the other.
Seeing that it was about to be lunch time, but the emperor had no intention of leaving, Concubine Jin boldly asked, "Your Majesty, it's almost lunch time, why don't you have lunch here with your concubine?" ”
"It's fine." As Concubine Jin expected, the emperor responded.
Deng Li is thinking about when she will be able to leave the palace?
"Your Majesty, it's rare for a concubine's niece to enter the palace once, look..." Concubine Jin looked at the emperor in embarrassment, as if asking for the emperor's opinion.
"Concubine Ai's niece is naturally good, it's okay, let's have lunch together." The emperor said unconcernedly.
"Your Majesty." Concubine Jin's face was delighted, but Deng Li was at a loss, what is this?
What an honor it would be for ordinary people to be left by the emperor to dine together, but for Deng Li, she didn't want to. But the emperor and Concubine Jin had already spoken, and she couldn't resist at all.
It is really uncomfortable to give people an ecstatic look on their faces.
Concubine Jin got the emperor's words, and said to her father-in-law with a gentle face, "I also bother to ask my father-in-law to go to the kitchen and say that the emperor has lunch in Zhaochun Palace today." ”
"Concubine Jin is polite, this is what a slave should do." After speaking, he bowed to the emperor and left.
After begging her father-in-law to leave, Concubine Jin asked the palace people around her to prepare melon and fruit snacks after the meal, as well as the emperor's nap.
Generally, where the emperor has lunch, he will take a lunch break, this is something that everyone in the palace knows, but at this time, Concubine Jin began to be entangled, today Deng Li entered the palace, and the emperor stayed in Zhaochun Palace for lunch, this obscure meaning is already obvious.
But she couldn't make up her mind, should she let Deng Li serve the emperor during her lunch break?
However, then thinking about it, Deng Li's entry into the palace today, the Deng family has already acquiesced to this happening, and naturally what will happen to Deng Li today, the Deng family should have counted.
Thinking like this, Concubine Jin's eyebrows and eyes were full of determination, since there is no way to change it, then leave it at that.
Soon, the imperial dining room prepared lunch, and plates of delicacies were sent to Zhaochun Palace.
The emperor is particular about dining, and there are special people to try dishes and cloth dishes.
The emperor was happy, and Concubine Jin was more relaxed, but Deng Li was restrained throughout the whole process, who can say that he can not be restrained? After all, she is the emperor, and even her grandfather has to be very obedient in front of the emperor, let alone her.
After lunch, the palace people removed the plates one by one.
"The emperor is going to take a lunch break?" Concubine Jin asked softly.
"Hmm." The emperor let out a faint 'um', but his eyes glanced at Deng Li, and then walked to the dormitory, always paying attention to the emperor's concubine, not missing the moment before the emperor left, knowing that the matter of his niece was already a sure thing.
But now Deng Li still has someone else in her heart, if she is willing to serve the emperor, I am afraid it will not be easy.
Concubine Jin asked her henchman to take the ginseng in the tea and let Deng Li drink it.
Deng Li was defenseless, Concubine Jin arranged Deng Li to rest in the side hall, which was only ten steps away from Concubine Jin's bedroom, but at this time, Deng Li no longer had the mental energy to think about it, and was helped by the palace people to go to the side hall.
After doing all this, Concubine Jin calmly walked to the dormitory, the palace people had already waited for the emperor to change into his regular clothes, at this time the emperor was reading a book at random, Concubine Jin took a deep breath, raised the corners of her mouth and walked behind the emperor, and pinched the emperor's shoulder, "Why is the emperor still reading books?" ”
"Nothing to do left or right." The emperor did not lift his head.
Concubine Jin continued, "The concubine happened to be a small day today, and she couldn't serve the emperor, so do you think the emperor should go to the side hall to rest?" ”
The emperor also wants to save face, and he won't do anything to criticize without a reason, and Concubine Jin is also well aware of this truth, so it's just a step for the emperor and an excuse for a reason.
The emperor raised his head to look at Concubine Jin, then smiled, pulled Concubine Jin over, and said in Concubine Jin's ear, "I still love Concubine deeply." ”
"The emperor praised it falsely." Concubine Jin smiled shyly, and then got up, "The emperor should go over and rest earlier, the emperor has a lot of opportunities, and he must rest well to deal with national affairs." ”
"Okay, listen to the concubine."
"The concubine asked the emperor to come over." After Concubine Jin finished speaking, she called her henchmen to take the emperor to the side hall.
