Chapter 405: Pampering
The emperor lowered his eyebrows and reviewed the official documents, and as the new year approached, the economic development of both the frontier and some small surrounding areas should also be appropriately adjusted and operated.
However, these are easy to say, but difficult to do, he not only needs to understand the economic development status of each region, but also to be considerate of the feelings of the people around him.
If the plan is not rigorous and proper, it may even cause dissatisfaction among others.
Raising his hand and rubbing his somewhat swollen temples, the emperor sighed helplessly. Although he ascended the throne at a young age, he also has the quality of a wise man.
"Your Majesty, you can rest, the concubine has stewed a bowl of swallow porridge for you, just to warm up." The queen had already entered the hall at some point, and raised her hand to beckon Xia Chan to put down the porcelain bowl.
The Emperor had already raised his hand and pulled the Empress to his side and sat down.
Since the early dynasty, he has been sitting in this imperial study and reading official documents at no time, and now that the queen has arrived, the emperor has noticed the sky outside.
The stars dot the night, and if you listen closely, you can feel the chirping of mosquitoes and cicadas in the yard.
The incense on the queen's body is light and delicate, and the elegant gestures are all pleasing to the eye. "Don't be busy, the princess can also sit down and eat together."
Raising his hand to hold the pair of plain hands, the emperor rarely smiled.
The queen said that she was sending soup, but in fact, she also brought a few side dishes, and the clear porridge with all the color and flavor was paired with dim sum, which made the emperor feel hungry after a busy day.
"Come, come, sit down beside me."
Ah Fu had already put away the official documents on the table, and now he looked at the standard five dishes and one soup in front of him, and he couldn't hold back his chopsticks.
The swallow porridge is fragrant, and a few wolfberry red dates in it have been stewed very soft and glutinous with the rice porridge, and a trace of sweetness in the entrance instantly overflows the mouth, not only the aftertaste is poor, but also makes people feel better.
Although she was at the same table, the queen didn't dare to really move her chopsticks.
The rules of the harem are very strict, and even the queen should not share a table with the emperor unless it is a grand occasion.
Seeing that nearly fifty men ate and drank like children, the queen just pursed her lips and smiled lightly, and there was joy and tolerance between her eyebrows and eyes.
After a busy day, the emperor was really tired and hungry, buried himself in patronizing and eating, and forgot the queen beside him for a while, and stayed until he was full of food and drink, and there was not much food left in front of him.
"I, this ......"
Like an immature young man, he scratched his face, Rao is emperor, and he couldn't help blushing at this time, revealing embarrassment.
He was just about to raise his hand and ask the back kitchen to make some more, but was stopped by the queen raising her hand, "Don't bother, the emperor will eat happily, and the concubines will not be hungry." ”
"It was I who neglected the queen for a while, alas." Shaking his head, the emperor's face was even more ashamed.
is a man who will show a somewhat immature and reckless appearance when facing the woman he loves, even if he has been married for many years like the emperor and empress.
poofed and laughed, the queen raised her hand and beckoned Xia Chan to help clean up the remnants of the table, and said softly: "As long as the concubine sees the emperor happy, she will be happy." ”
"By the way, Si Jin came to see the concubine today, and asked about your recent situation, although the child doesn't seem to want to be close to us, he still cares about you very much."
Thinking of Shao Sijin's stiff look when she said this, the queen couldn't hide the smile between her eyebrows. Let's go slightly
She put a box of exquisite brocade boxes in her hand in the emperor's hand, and when she opened it, she saw that it was a warm and beautiful piece of mutton fat jade. The white and tender jade surface can be described as the best in terms of workmanship and color.
Since ancient times, it has been used to raise people, and mutton fat jade is a warm and moist product, "He, he must be worried that you will continue to disregard your body so much, so he entrusted his concubine to transfer it to you." Let your heart be considerate and considerate of your own body. ”
Holding the jade in the palm of his hand, the cold touch turned warm after a while, and the emperor sighed: "It's because I don't care enough about this child......"
In the past, only Shao Sijin was independent, so he didn't want to be imprisoned by him for a good future, but now that he looks at it this way, it is obvious that he doesn't care enough about his family on weekdays.
Keen to notice the emperor's gentle expression, the empress seized the air raid and asked, "Seeing that you are so busy every day, but you are still worried about that matter?" Si Jin told his concubine about this, you see ......"
"I know."
Coming back to his senses to interrupt the empress's words, the emperor's face was a little gentle.
He knew what the queen meant, and he should have known that Shao Sijin actually had other thoughts when he sent this piece of jade, but he was not angry. "Si Jin believes that this is a good thing, but I don't insist on stopping him, what his friend said, I have already sent someone to investigate."
"And what was the result?" The queen asked.
Shaking his head, the Emperor sighed, "If it's really what he says, why should he be locked up for so long?" ”
After all, if this matter is true, then it will definitely be a shame for the entire Shun Kingdom, but what if it is not true? He also faced the danger of offending Fengyingguo.
There is no need for the emperor to take such a risk for an ordinary person, not to mention that this matter is originally a punishment and a proper one.
If the evidence is insufficient, how can it not make the concubine and even the entire court angry?
"According to me, rather than rescuing Si Jin's friend, we should pay more attention to Lin Yue and the relationship between the Lin family and the imperial court at the moment." The emperor frowned, and his tone was so low that the queen's heart sank unconsciously.
"You...... What does that mean? ”
Why is it good to have a relationship with Lin Yue again?
This is a big thing for the queen, who has always regarded Lin Yue as her own daughter, and people can't help but feel heavy. In addition, she hadn't seen Lin Yue for a long time, could it really ......
As if seeing that she was worried, the emperor hurriedly took her hand and changed her back to his senses, "Actually, it's not a big deal, but do you remember that his friend mentioned that Lin Yue could testify for him when he played that day?" ”
"I think I've heard him talk about it." Nodding hesitantly, the queen replied.
But she never expected that such a seemingly insignificant sentence could set off monstrous waves, but these are all later words, for now......
After explaining the impact of the incident to the queen in detail, the emperor couldn't help but sigh, "It would be good if this Princess Fengying was willing to come out and explain, but I heard that Princess Fengying was sick some time ago, and she has refused to see anyone until now." ”
Otherwise, why would this matter have dragged on for so long?
Speaking of Murong Xueyu, the queen also remembered, "Today's concubine is often irritable, and from time to time she mentions Princess Fengying's company by her side from time to time. ”
said that it was mentioned, but in fact, it was more like a hint that Sang scolded Huai to imply that the queen didn't like her, but the queen didn't care.
"Why don't you go and ask the concubine to try it tomorrow? Maybe I can really let Princess Fengying come forward. The queen asked, with some expectation in her eyes.
After all, Concubine Qian did dot on Murong Xue Kite before, maybe it would work.
