"I have important things to do today." The emperor has been pressing, and last night he made a batch of folds until late, and slept directly in the Qianqing Palace, and he didn't go to any of the mothers.

The emperor rubbed his temples, he had a headache, and when he thought about things for a while, it hurt even more.

Xue Gui pondered, and he didn't remember which minister the emperor had made an appointment with, so he heard the news from outside that the queen asked to see him, and the emperor let out a cold snort in his nose and said, "Isn't this coming." ”

Xue Gui realized that the important thing the emperor said was to meet the queen, but how did the emperor know that the queen was coming? Or do you want to do something?

"Let her in." The emperor took the water-soaked face towel in Xue Gui's hand and wiped his hands and cleaned his face.

Xue Gui didn't dare to ask more, so he invited the queen in.

"The concubines ask the emperor for peace, and the emperor is blessed with peace." The queen came in slowly, and saluted according to the rules.

"Get up." The emperor glanced at the queen and called in a low voice.

Just as he was about to throw the face towel to Xue Gui, he was taken by a pair of white and delicate hands, carefully folded it, and placed it in the tray in the hands of the palace maid.

The emperor saw the queen's gentle and petty appearance, put down the face towel, and sorted out the court clothes for him, but his thoughts gradually drifted to another woman, this woman is Yu Qing.

recalled that when I played against Yu Qing before, I saw that she already had a thin layer of calluses on her fingertips, and I laughed at her for not being like a woman.

Unexpectedly, Yu Qing glanced at him without shying away from it, and replied to him in a sour tone.

"Yes, I'm a little female official from the imperial dining room, I just have to boil water and cook rice every day, unlike your other concubines, pampered and well-maintained, the emperor likes delicate skin, find the queen mother to play against it, I remember, the queen mother's hands are white and tender, slender and good-looking, hum, no more."

After saying that, she really twisted her temperament and threw the chess pieces and left, not caring about him at all, which was completely different from the low-eyed queen in front of her.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?"

The queen talked for a long time, and when she saw that the emperor didn't even react, she felt strange in her heart, and when she raised her eyes, the emperor looked into the distance, not knowing what he was thinking, and didn't listen to her at all.

"Well, the queen has a point." The emperor was really distracted, and he bowed his head and responded casually.

"Your Majesty, the queen mother is talking about the noble people."

Xue Gui didn't have a good heart, and hurriedly reminded him, Your Majesty, you look too empty, who can't see it, and if you don't hear the content, you will say that it is reasonable, if you know what the queen said, I am afraid that you will regret not being at the beginning.

"Huh? Qing Guiren, what's wrong with her? The emperor pretended to be confused, he had already guessed that the queen had come this time to do something about the sunshine, but he was still waiting for the queen to speak.

The expression on the queen's face remained unchanged, and even the curvature of the corners of her mouth remained exactly the same as just now, as if she didn't care at all that the emperor was distracted when she spoke, and repeated the words slowly and logically.

"The Qing nobles went out at will during the blessing period, and went to the market to do business, which has made the harem complain, the emperor, the concubines know that the Qing nobles are very hard to pray for the royal family in Kinkakuji this time, but in this way, I am afraid that the Buddha will also dislike us for not being sincere, and refuse to give the heirs to the sisters."

"The issue of heirs should be natural, not forced, and praying for blessings is just a peace of mind, and there is no need to entrust it wholeheartedly." The emperor said.

"Yes, the concubines understand, but the hearts of the people are unsettled, the sisters are now asking for the concubines, and the concubines, as the masters of the harem, must be dealt with according to the palace rules in order to calm the anger."

The queen's heart was cold, did the emperor even abandon his heart of respecting the Buddha in order to protect him? If it weren't for the insincerity of her prayers, how could she not be able to conceive a child until now.

"According to the Queen, what should it be?"

The emperor understands that the matter of Yu Qing cannot be avoided, the public opinion of the people, and the grievances of the harem concubines must always be vented, and even hundreds of officials have begun to make up, and the matter is getting bigger and bigger, and there must be an explanation.

"The concubine thinks that it is better to temporarily demote the position of the noble person to agree."

The queen raised her eyes, looked at the emperor's face carefully, saw that the emperor's eyes were deep, stared at her for a moment, and immediately said: "With the emperor's favor, the position or anything is secondary, and naturally it is not a grievance for Sister Qing." ”

The emperor didn't speak, but his face was much more relaxed, and the queen continued: "It's just that the original prayer for three months, now because Sister Qing frequently goes out of the temple, depending on the concubines, it is better to extend the period and change it to six months, to the common people's grievances, your Majesty, what do you think?" ”

The queen made a good calculation, and came to ask the emperor to punish Yu Qing because everyone in the harem was not in her, and extended the prayer period, the reason was in the people, and she was not offended inside and outside, but she had a good reputation.

Especially to extend the prayer time, men like the new and hate the old, such a long time, I believe it is enough for the emperor to dilute her.

The emperor did not speak, as if he was thinking about the feasibility of the queen's proposal.

After a while, he spoke, "It's okay." ”

It really doesn't matter what the position is, if you don't want to, find a good day in the future, or a happy event in the palace, and then bring the position back.

What made him hesitate was that the prayer period was changed to six months, wouldn't he not see more than half a year?

When the goal was achieved, the queen smiled with satisfaction, "Then the concubine will be arranged." ”

The emperor nodded, did not speak again, in order to calm the people, the court and the harem of public opinion, it is necessary to punish Yu Qing, if you wait for the queen mother to make a move, I am afraid that she will not let her go easily, so this practice can be regarded as the lesser of two powers.

The queen also understood that the emperor was still a little unhappy in her heart, she knew how to stop in moderation, and she retreated.

Even if it is far away from the palace, it can also affect the people of the palace to bother with the sunshine, and at this time, he is living freely in Kinkakuji.

There are no rules and regulations of the harem, rigid rules, and I will not kowtow to anyone at any time, let alone always be afraid that I have made a mistake or worry about being assassinated by others.

Get up early every day to pray for blessings, in addition to eating, drinking, in addition to not being able to go out of the Golden Pavilion Temple, her current life, is like the emperor, leisurely and free.

Anyway, her residence was arranged in a remote place, far away from the daily life of the monks, only the two nuns at the door guarded, and it didn't hurt to be heard by them, besides, her singing was not unpleasant.

"Mountain songs are like spring river water, not afraid of beach dangers, many bends, and many bends......" Yu Qing sang whatever he remembered, mountain songs, nursery rhymes, pop songs, eclectic.

She was singing happily, as if she heard someone calling her at the door, so she stopped, it was a male voice, could it be a little master? No, how could the little master call her Yuqing?

"Yuqing, open the door, it's me!" The man at the door knocked on the door and shouted again.

This voice is a little familiar, Fu Ankang?!

Yu Qing hurriedly went over to open the door, and the person standing outside the door looking at her was not who Fu Ankang was, she was afraid that she was not dreaming.

"Why are you here? And ......" Yu Qing looked at the unconscious little nuns sitting on the ground on both sides of the door in a daze, and asked.

"I clicked on their acupuncture points and won't let me in and talk?" Fu Ankang saw that Yu Qing's eyes were full of doubts, and he opened his mouth to explain.

Yu Qing reacted at this time, looked at the door of the lower courtyard, no one would come at this hour, and made a mistake and motioned for Fu Ankang to come in.

Fu Ankang walked to the table and stood still, Yu Qing saw him staring at himself intently, tilted his head and said, "Why are you standing, sit." ”

As he spoke, he also sat down on the chair, picked up the teapot on the table, poured a cup of tea for Fu Ankang, and put it in front of him.

Fu Ankang still stared at Yu Qing, he wanted to confirm whether Yu Qing was good or not, clenched his hands into fists, and restrained himself on his knees, lest he couldn't control holding her into his arms and destroying Yu Qing's heart defense against him.

"Why are you here? But what does the emperor have for you to explain? Yu Qing put down the teacup and asked curiously.

Fu Ankang felt a pang in her heart, she was still thinking about the emperor, and she didn't show it, she smiled slightly, and said: "I heard about you and was worried, so I came to take a look, and now I see that you seem to be living better than in the palace." ”

"This is nature, na, being a man, the most important thing is to be happy!" Yu Qing learned the classic lines and accents in the TV series and laughed.

Seeing Yu Qing's eccentric appearance, Fu Ankang laughed with her, and then frowned again, "There is one thing, you may not know yet." ”

The decree just made today should not reach Kinkakuji Temple until tomorrow at the earliest, "In order to calm the public opinion, the emperor will lower your position and agree to extend the prayer period for six months." ”

He also heard the news, so he rushed over non-stop, wanting Yu Qing to be mentally prepared in advance, so that he would not be too sad when he received the holy decree.

Who knew that after hearing this, Yu Qing was just stunned for a moment, then waved his hand, and said easily: "It's okay, if the rank is lowered, it will be lowered, anyway, it's not what I want, as for the extension of the blessing, it doesn't matter, I have a very happy time in Kinkakuji." ”

Fu Ankang heard Yu Qing say that the position was not what she wanted, and hope seemed to be rekindled in her heart, what did she want? Is it to figure these out, she will be able to accept herself more easily.

"It's best if you think like this, as for the people's discussions, you don't have to take it to heart, the problem of reputation, I will help you get it back slowly." Fu Ankang comforted.

"I'm not worried about this, as long as any concubines in the harem are pregnant during the period, this insincere charge will be withdrawn, but I'm a little worried about Jing Yuan, I don't know what happened to him now?"

It has been more than a month since she left the palace, although Wanhe and Xiyue are both people she trusts, and she is very relieved to hand over Jingyuan to them to take care of, but what she is worried about is Concubine Hua, and Concubine Jia will attack him again.

Fu Ankang looked at Yu Qing in embarrassment, not knowing whether to say it or not, and finally couldn't see her anxious and worried look, and said: "The little prince is now temporarily taken care of by the queen mother. ”

Seeing that Yu Qing looked up at him hurriedly, his hand unconsciously grabbed his sleeve, his eyes were full of inquiry, and he said: "But don't worry, the queen treats the little prince very well, and the emperor often goes to visit." ”

"That's fine."

Hearing that the emperor often passed, Yu Qing gradually loosened her hand holding Fu Ankang's sleeve, the queen originally had this mind, so it was okay, at least she took care of the emperor, and she would not treat Jing Yuan badly.
