Chapter 38: "The Emperor's Decision"
Nalan Youruo knew Xiao Yunning's thoughts, and thought about how to make his second brother understand his own mind, it can be said that everything was ready, so he showed off his birthday gift to his grandmother wholeheartedly, waiting for Nalan Zhiyu to come back.
Emperor Xiao Chenhao has been in a bad mood for the past few days, and as a personal eunuch, Chang Zuo carefully holds a bowl of ginseng soup.
"Your Majesty, let's drink a bowl of ginseng soup" The emperor didn't know what he was thinking today, he only ate a few bites for lunch, Chang Zuo had followed the emperor for many years, not to mention that he was the emperor's personal eunuch, if something happened to the emperor, he would definitely not survive.
In addition, Chang Zuo's relationship with the emperor is not as simple as the relationship between master and servant, the two grew up together since childhood, and they can be said to be friends.
Xiao Chenhao knew that Chang Zuo was worried about him, nodded and took a few sips, then waved his hand and let Chang Zuo go out.
Xiao Chenhao sat on the chair and couldn't help but have a lot of thoughts, since the last time he glanced at Jiangnan, he had taken the girl who only knew the other party's name to heart.
Xiao Chenhao has finally realized in the past few days what is the pain of lovesickness and devouring it.
The ministers of the DPRK and China quarrel every day, letting themselves be concubines, but they are not interested in those daughters who are pretentious, one in front of them, and one behind their backs.
Xiao Chenhao was very conflicted, although he wanted the woman named Shunhua in his heart, he didn't know what to do.
Suddenly, the emperor raised his head and looked outside, remembering that when his father was a child, he often told himself that everything should go with his heart.
Heart, everything is as you like, everything is your own mind, Xiao Chenhao can say with certainty that he has moved his heart to the woman who has been with him for a long time.
Xiao Chenhao also figured it out, in the past nineteen years, that woman was the first woman to make it difficult for her to sleep, and she was also the first woman to let her heart be out of her control.
It is said that the white years can be repaired with the same boat, and the millennium can be repaired to sleep together. Now that I have finally been tempted. I can't let myself regret it.
Xiao Chenhao, who had made up his mind, immediately asked Chang Zuo to go to Xuanmaping to enter the palace. Ma Ping felt the upper study as fast as he could.
"Weichen knocked on the emperor," Ma Ping knelt down and saluted.
"No courtesy" Xiao Chenhao waved his hand and pointed to the chair next to him.
"Emperor Xie" Ma Ping walked on the chair and sat down, but he did not forget his duty as a courtier.
"I don't know what the emperor has to call Weichen to" Ma Ping looked at the emperor respectfully.
"I need you to go to Jiangnan and find someone for me"
Ma Ping was a little confused, didn't he come back from Jiangnan just now, a few days later?
Xiao Chenhao didn't care what Ma Ping was thinking at this time, but said very directly, "It's the last time we met in Zhuohua Valley, that young lady"
Ma Ping didn't react much when he heard this, from the performance of Emperor Jiangnan after meeting that woman, Ma Ping knew that there would be such a day, and the emperor's orders at this time were all expected by Ma Ping and Chang Zuo.
"Yes, Wechen obeys"
Xiao Chenhao understood that it would be very difficult to find a woman in Jiangnan who only knew her name and didn't know anything else, so he carefully said to Ma Ping, "In terms of her clothes, manners and speech that day, she should be from the official family in Jiangnan, and the family is quite noble."
Although Nalan Youruo was dressed very low-key that day, Xiao Chenhao still recognized that the material of her clothes was something that was valuable and not necessarily bought.
And her every move is down-to-earth and generous, very elegant, and at first glance, she is from an extraordinary background.
"You will bring ten secret guards tomorrow to check the official palaces in Jiangnan one by one, and as soon as there is news, you will immediately send a pigeon to me."
After speaking, he took it out of the table drawer, and drew a portrait with his own hands, "You take this, let all the secret guards take a look, keep it after reading it, and remember to take it out if you need it in the future."
Xiao Chenhao didn't want to show her portrait to others in his heart, but there was no way, except for Ma Ping, no one else had seen Shunhua, so he had to do this in order to find her
The emperor patiently advised, "We will leave tomorrow, but remember this, you can't let the third person know, don't look for her in Jiangnan with great fanfare, secretly find out her parents, family, age, etc., in short, the more detailed the better."
Ma Ping watched the emperor's every move, and secretly thought in his heart: The emperor really took that woman to heart.
"Weichen obeys the order" Ma Ping carefully held the portrait in his hand, and secretly made up his mind that he must find this young lady, because His Majesty was finally tempted.
Xiao Chenhao waved his hand, "Go down, remember not to make a noise" Xiao Chenhao was afraid that the courtiers would quarrel again before they could find it.
After Ma Ping retired, Xiao Chenhao was thinking about how to prevent the draft, and how to make Shunhua agree to his own calculations.
At this time, Xiao Chenhao was immersed in his own imagination, and he didn't think about whether Ma Ping would find someone when he went to Jiangnan.
It is said that when you meet a person, there is a meeting in the landscape, you miss a person, the wind is light, you hold a person, the shore of the ripple water, and you will end up with compassion and compassion.
Xiao Chenhao took out Jiangnan, the girl named Shunhua, the woman who disturbed her mind wrote the Peach Blossom Fairy.
Although it is not written for himself, Xiao Chenhao is still very careful to collect, looking at the poems on the table, Xiao Chenhao has to admit that the woman's handwriting is very beautiful, a hairpin flower Xiaokai, Gao Yi Qingwan, smooth and thin, broken jade curling, graceful like a tree, Mu Ruoqingfeng, such as red lotus reflecting the moon, Bizhi Fuxia, Xiao Chenhao is the more he looks at it, the more he likes it.
You must let me find you, a little girl with hibiscus blossoms and a research Ruo Shunhua. Xiao Chenhao looked forward to it in his heart.
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is here" As soon as Chang Zuo entered, he saw the emperor staring at the poem again, and sighed in his heart, hoping that Ma Ping could find a young lady as soon as possible.
Xiao Chenhao heard Chang Zuo's words, and after coming back to his senses, he carefully put away the things on the table, "Please come in"
Chang Zuo walked in with the Queen Mother, Xiao Chenhao got up and saluted, "Son to the Queen Mother, please say goodbye"
The Queen Mother waved her hand, "Get up" Xiao Chenhao personally helped the Queen Mother on the chair that was on the side, and said, "How could the queen mother come to my son" Xiao Chenhao really didn't know the purpose of the queen mother, because usually the queen mother would not come to the study at all.
The Queen Mother smiled, "Why can't the mourning family come and see their own son?"
Xiao Chenhao hurriedly said, "Of course not, it should be the son who went to see the queen mother, but there have been a lot of things in the past two days, so I didn't go to the queen mother to say goodbye, it's the son's."
Xiao Chenhao and the Queen Mother's mother and son have a very good relationship, Xiao Chenhao, the emperor, is very filial to his mother, and some of the things that the Queen Mother usually uses are only done after the emperor has told him thousands of times.
The Queen Mother knows that her son is filial, and she will not be really angry. I remembered what my aunt said the other day.
felt that he might have really done something wrong, and said to the emperor guiltily, "Queen Mother Chenhao is sorry for you"
Xiao Chenhao was a little stunned when he heard this, "Why did the queen mother say this" As far as I know, the queen mother has not done anything unfavorable to herself for so many years.
The Queen Mother looked at the dazed emperor and explained, "The mourning family should not be like the courtiers, forcing you to establish a queen and a concubine, and regard the queen concubine as a state affair, but forget that the queen concubine is also for your happiness."
My aunt is right, as long as you don't like it, even if there are three thousand beauties in the harem, you won't be happy, and if you like it, even if it's just one person, you will be happy."
After listening to the Queen Mother's words, Xiao Chenhao was moved, "Thank you, Queen Mother"
The Queen Mother shook her head, "We are mother and son, we don't need to be so polite, you just have to pick the person you like slowly, and leave the draft matter to the mother to deal with."
Xiao Chenhao nodded, "Erchen knows, Erchen will not disappoint the queen mother, he will definitely find one for the queen mother, very good and daughter-in-law"
When the Queen Mother heard this, she smiled and said, "Okay, good mother, believe in my son's vision."
Mother and son laughed and talked about other things.
