Chapter 175: Doubts
"Your Majesty, but it's almost the New Year, but I don't know what the situation is on the Hexi side?" Concubine Xian peeled a big orange for the emperor with her own hands, then lightly dipped it in a little salt, tried the taste, and then put it in the emperor's mouth, and said softly to the emperor.
"Well, the prince came to a letter some time ago, everything in Hexi is on the right track, if you count the days, you should come back soon!" The emperor didn't have any ideas, Concubine Xian asked him to answer, and he felt that Concubine Xian was worthy of the name of Concubine Xian, even if she was now in this pot-bellied appearance, she didn't forget to miss the prince.
"Didn't the prefect of Hexi hear from him?" Concubine Xian frowned slightly and asked, according to the letter from the prefect of Hexi, the prince is dead this time, and the official document should have arrived, is it because of the New Year? So why don't you postpone this official document to be reported? Concubine Xian's mind was in her mind for a while, but it turned around several times.
"Hexi Prefect, hum! With such a catastrophe in Hexi, does this Hexi prefect still want to continue to be the prefect? The emperor said coldly, with a hint of fierceness in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, this natural disaster is not something that a Hexi prefect can stop, what's the use of you and a small prefect not going?" When Concubine Xian saw that the emperor's face was not good, she immediately comforted her softly, she knew that the prefect of Hexi was a person who was of great use to herself, and she couldn't easily let the emperor be a substitute ghost, especially in this situation, even if the prefect of Hexi wanted to be a substitute for the dead ghost, it was not this kind of meaningless substitute death, for Concubine Xian, only the death of the prince was a big deal, as for other things, what about how many people died? The world is getting bigger.
"Natural disasters are unstoppable, but what about disaster relief? Just one disaster relief can be punished for his capital crime, and needless to say, this world is my world, and it is also the world of the people in the world. The emperor glanced at Concubine Xian meaningfully, but then refused to say anything more.
Concubine Xian was slightly stunned, looking at the emperor's appearance, she couldn't help but be slightly shocked in her heart, but she couldn't say anything more, during this time, Concubine Xian suddenly found that the emperor seemed to be a little dissatisfied with herself, and even didn't seem to be as good as before, and even knocked on herself intentionally or unintentionally. These were unimaginable in the past, although the queen mother manages the affairs of the harem, but rarely rewards the concubines, and now in the harem, it can even be said that the palace maids Ning Yue and Ning Yun around the queen mother are helping the queen mother to do things, these two palace maids are no matter what concubines are not concubines, even if they are favored concubines, they also get things according to the rules, and if they want to get more things, or if they want to get some good things, then they can only ask for the emperor's holy decree, even if they are virtuous concubines, So Concubine Xian felt that she was thinking too much.
"Aifei, what do you want?" The emperor looked at Concubine Xian's thoughtful appearance, and actually smiled and hugged Concubine Xian in his arms. "Your most important task now is to give birth to our child peacefully, whether it is a prince or a princess, it is our heart and soul!" The emperor said softly to Concubine Xian.
"Your Majesty, it must be the prince's son!" Concubine Xian said firmly.
"Oh? How did Concubine Ai know? Seeing Concubine Xian's determined appearance, the emperor couldn't help but smile and asked. Your Majesty, have you forgotten what Zhang Zhenren said? The dragon is in the sky, in the arms of the concubine! Concubine Xian said to the emperor shyly. Hahahaha! The emperor laughed loudly, but he also put the matter aside and never mentioned it again.
"Prince, tomorrow will be the Chinese New Year's Eve, but we will continue to rush overnight?" Dongfang asked Dongfang Mingyu silently and respectfully, after these things, Dongfang Moran became more and more silent, and he became more and more respectful to the prince, rarely teasing Dongfang silently like before, and there was also respect in his words.
"Uncle Huang, what do you think?" The prince also seemed to be a little embarrassed.
"I can go back faster after traveling overnight, but it's a little hard for the sergeants!" Dongfang thought for a moment and said thoughtfully. "Uncle Huang, I let you say whatever you want!" The prince smiled bitterly, the recent changes in Dongfang Moran Prince Dongfang Mingyu also completely looked at it in his eyes, which made his heart feel relieved and a little helpless, on the one hand, he knew that Dongfang Moran had finally made the decision to take his lead as the only one, and it was no longer like Dongfang Moran was completely an outsider before, even if he was the prince, he was still his imperial uncle, the elders pressed the juniors, and he could scold the prince. But now Dongfang silently respects him, but it also makes the prince understand in his heart that the uncle who used to be casual with him seems to be completely gone, and he is afraid that what he will be left with in the end is a lonely family.
"Prince, how can you still rest?" Wang Caijun checked the post outside, and was about to go back to rest, when he saw that the light in the prince's bedroom was still on, so he knocked lightly on the door, stood at the door and asked softly.
"Caijun, you didn't rest either?" Dongfang silently looked at Wang Caijun wearing a cloak and asked with a smile. "It's cold today, and I'm afraid it's going to snow tomorrow, so I asked people to prepare hot ginger soup so that everyone can have a good rest." Wang Caijun said with a smile.
"It just so happens that Caijun is also here, let's discuss!" The prince looked at Wang Caijun and said with a smile.
"It's okay, cherish the moon, you go back first, clean up first!" Wang Caijun turned his head and said to Xiyue.
"Okay!" Xiyue respectfully saluted the prince and the king of Qi, and then turned to leave.
"Caijun, you came just in time, tomorrow is the Chinese New Year's Eve, I and the imperial uncle are still talking just now, do you want to take a day off?" The prince asked with a smile.
"I'm afraid I don't have time now!" Wang Caijun said with a sigh, "But this is ......" Dongfang said silently frowning.
"Prince, as the saying goes, there must be a brave man under the heavy reward, at this time, it is better to give everyone more practical things, more meat, less wine, and then everyone gave ten taels of silver, which should be more effective than everyone resting for a day!" Wang Caijun thought for a while and said.
"That's right, Caijun is right! If so, it's a lot of silver! Dongfang said silently with a frown. But it's not much, and it's only a few hundred taels of silver when added together, less than a thousand taels, and we can spend it! Wang Caijun said with a smile.
