Chapter 59: Out of the Palace

"Your Majesty......" Concubine Zheng Guifei didn't expect the emperor to drive her away so soon, and she felt a little lost, "Your Majesty, the concubines haven't seen you for a few days, don't you want to be concubines at all?" ”

"Presumptuous, I've already said that I still have things to deal with, don't you understand? Concubine Zheng, now that Jiangnan is still serious, not only do you not think about the victims of the disaster, but you even want to bewitch me into neglecting the government, what do you want? ”

"Your Majesty, the concubines are just worried about the emperor's body and have no other meaning, so please ask the emperor to take a look." At this moment, if Concubine Zheng Guifei hadn't seen the emperor's abnormality, she would be stupid. Thinking of Gonggong Li's reminder, he regretted not being at the beginning, "The concubine retired." She turned and hurried out of the hall, as if someone was chasing her behind her. Gonggong Li stood outside the hall, watched her come out, and saw that her face was very bad, so he pretended not to see it, and turned to look aside.

"Gonggong Li, it was the concubine who misunderstood you just now, and there is Gonggong Lao on the emperor's side. The weather has been hot in recent days, you ask the imperial dining room to prepare more meals to relieve the heat, don't let the emperor get tired and sick. ”

"Don't worry, the emperor is the master of the miscellaneous family, and the miscellaneous family will naturally do their best." Li Fuxi kept looking ahead when he spoke, and Concubine Zheng felt uncomfortable when she saw this, but she didn't dare to make another attempt. Li Fuxi is indeed a father-in-law, but he is indeed the most favored father-in-law around the emperor, the concubine in the harem didn't scold her, wasn't he the same before, she was reckless just now, Li Fuxi held a grudge, and I don't know if she would stumble on her later.

On the way back, Concubine Zheng was angry, the emperor saw it, and was scolded for no reason and offended Gonggong Li, it was simply a loss to his wife and a soldier, this day, it was really unlucky. After returning to the palace, Concubine Zheng Guifei couldn't find a place to vent her anger, so she scolded the maids in the house one by one, and only after scolding comfortably did she think about what the emperor meant today. I just thought about it for a long time and didn't figure it out.

In the imperial study, the emperor glared at Gonggong Li unhappily, "Did I tell you that no one is allowed to come in?" What happened to Concubine Zheng just now? ”

"The emperor was wronged, the old slave persuaded Zheng Guifei and stopped it, but Zheng Guifei said that the old slave was humble and had no qualifications to blame her, and said that the emperor favored him among many mothers, if the old slave had to stop her today, she would want the old slave to have a hard time in the future, so the old slave ......"

The emperor stared at Li Fuxi for a long time, and said in disbelief, "What you said is true?" "This Zheng Guifei is indeed a little arrogant, but she is not so brainless, doesn't he know what will happen if he offends Li Fuxi? But what Li Fuxi said was so reasonable, as if he wasn't worried about her investigating at all, and after thinking about it, he believed it.

"Okay, forget about this time, if there is a next time, go to the inner court to receive the twenty boards."

"Yes, the old slave thanks the emperor for his grace." Li Fuxi wiped his cold sweat and walked out of the imperial study, standing at the door, the corners of his mouth slowly hooked up a smug smile, Zheng Guifei, hum, this is the fate of you who don't listen to the old slave, just a concubine, or a concubine without an imperial heir, the old slave wants to see how long you can still be arrogant.

One afternoon, Zheng Guifei was thinking about how to release her suspicions with Gonggong Li, and in the evening, Gonggong Li came to Kunning Palace, "The emperor has an order, Zheng Guifei's virtue is wrong, and her words are inappropriate, which makes me very displeased, and Zheng Guifei is specially punished for thinking about it behind closed doors for a month. ”

Thinking about it behind closed doors? The emperor rarely came to the harem, and now he has been grounded for a month, a month later, I don't know that the harem is the fox spirit who is favored, and the concubines who entered the palace with him have children, even if they don't, there is a huge family support behind them, only him, from the attack to the present, step by step, she only relies on himself, if she is grounded, how can the emperor forget her after a month?

"Father-in-law Li, why did the emperor suddenly ......?"

"Concubine Zheng Guifei, please be cautious, how the emperor has her own decisions. You just have to remember that you don't leave Kunning Palace for a month from today. Li Fuxi looked respectful, but the smile on his face was slightly mocking. Seeing this, Concubine Zheng still didn't understand something in her heart.

"Father-in-law Li, today's incident is that the concubine is reckless, and I ask Father-in-law Li not to be as knowledgeable as the concubine." Turned around and took the night pearl on the table, "This is a squire from my hometown before the concubine entered the palace, this concubine has always regarded her as a thought all these years, today the concubine gave her to her father-in-law, and asked her father-in-law to say a few words for the concubine in front of the emperor......"

"Niangniang's words are serious, the old slave is just acting according to the emperor's will, if Niangniang feels unfair, she can go to the emperor in person to plead. Injustice......&" Gonggong Li waved his hand at the guards behind him, "Please also ask Niangniang to go to the emperor in a month to theorize." ”

"Gonggong Li, you can't be like this, Gonggong Li's concubine is really unintentional today......%" Zheng Guifei wanted to say something, but Gonggong Li turned around and left, walked to the door, stopped, thought for a moment and turned his head and said, "Zheng Guifei, life is so impermanent, many things are changing rapidly, why haven't you even figured out such a little truth in the harem in the past few years." ”

Father-in-law Li's naked warning, Zheng Guifei heard it clearly, and after a while, she sat on the ground unwillingly, and the maid hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, "Niangniang, it's cold outside, let's go back to the house first." ”

"Yes, this concubine has been in the palace for so long, how can she even forget such a simple truth. This person, you really can't do what you want, otherwise, you don't know how you died. ”

The emperor stayed in the imperial study for a week, and several ministers copied it for an afternoon without making a result, and she was upset and irritable when she was arguing, so she simply drove people out. Towards dusk, the heat dissipates a little, but it is still a little muggy, and the sky is clear during the day, but at night the weather is gloomy and stuffy.

In the imperial study, the emperor was restless, and glanced at the hungry dinner sent by the imperial dining room, he had no appetite at all, Li Fuxi saw this and hurriedly persuaded, "Your Majesty, the state affairs are busy, you still eat a little, the weather is very hot these days, you don't eat anything at all, and your body will not be able to bear it." ”

"I'm fine." The emperor glanced out the window, "Li Fuxi, go and prepare, I want to go out of the palace for a walk." ”

"Your Majesty, it's getting late, I'm afraid it's not safe to leave the palace at this time, it's better to go out of the palace tomorrow, wait for the old slave to prepare carefully, and then the emperor will leave the palace......" Li Fuxi was worried that the people of the old party knew the news to assassinate the emperor, but the emperor couldn't wait for a moment, "No need, only you and I will leave the palace, and no one else will take anyone else." ”

"But the emperor, the night market in the capital is mixed, if you meet any gangsters, what happens to the emperor, the old slave is not enough to cut off even if he has ten heads." Father-in-law Li became more and more worried when he heard this. The emperor ignored him, went directly to the inner hall, and after a while, he changed into his usual clothes, "Why haven't you changed your clothes yet, why, how do you want me to help you?" ”

"The emperor laughed, and the old slave went to change his clothes." After a quarter of an hour, the two of them left the palace, followed the main road, and drove the carriage directly to the night market. Before ascending the throne, the emperor often came to the night market, and then her father died, and after she became the emperor, she never came again.

Time flies so fast, a few years have passed in a blink of an eye, but this night market has not changed at all, and it is more and more lively than I remember. The heart that had been restless for a few days suddenly became clear at this moment. The emperor took Gonggong Li all the way over, and when he saw what he liked, he sold it, and after a while, he bought a large meal of delicious and fun, seeing that Gonggong Li couldn't hold it, but the emperor didn't have the slightest intention of stopping.

"Young master, it's not too early, let's hurry back home."

It's hard to get out of the palace, how could the emperor go back so easily. Ignoring Gonggong Li's words, he strode forward, and there was a stall selling masks in front of him, and the masks on the stall were colorful and had various expressions, which was very good-looking. The emperor saw it at a glance,

"Boss, how do you sell these masks?"

The stall owner is a shrewd person, seeing that he has an extraordinary temperament and exquisite workmanship, he is not an ordinary person at first glance, and the price on his lips is more than ten times more expensive than in the past.

"Ten taels of silver each. How many does Childe want? ”

"Ten taels of silver, it's so expensive, why don't you grab it." Although Li Fuxi has been serving the emperor all the year round, he occasionally goes out of the palace to run an errand, and he knows some of the market, but an ordinary mask, one or two pieces of silver are expensive, and this person actually opened his mouth to be ten taels, isn't this obviously pit their young master?

"Don't wronged people, I'm telling the truth, the masks on our stall are different from ordinary masks, if you don't believe it, you can take a closer look." The stall owner took a mask and stepped forward to let the emperor take a look, "Look at the workmanship of this mask, as well as the patterns and colors on it, I personally got it, this thing is time-consuming and laborious to make, and it is not profitable for only ten taels of silver." ”

"What's wrong with what you've done yourself, are your hands golden? Ten taels of silver, it's really our young master who is wronged. After hearing this, Gonggong Li became even more angry, and pulled the emperor to persuade, "Childe, you listen to the old slave, this thing is really not worth this money, there is more than this one that sells masks here, if Childe likes it, let's go to other stalls to have a look." ”

The emperor stared at one of the masks on the stall motionless, the stall owner originally thought that the price he called was too high, and he was going to lose this big order, and he originally thought about whether to loosen his mouth and ask for less, but after seeing the attitude of this son, he was immediately happy.

"You get what you pay for, since Childe doesn't want to pay this money, let's go to other stalls over there." The stall owner looked arrogant. Seeing this, Gonggong Li gritted his teeth angrily, Diao Min, don't think that the old slave doesn't know what you're fighting pay attention to. I want to bully his master, no way.

"Steward Li, Young Master Ben likes this mask, pay for it."

Gonggong Li hadn't finished scolding the stall owner in his heart, when he heard the words, his face changed slightly, and he opened his mouth to persuade again, seeing that the emperor couldn't put it down, he gritted his teeth and took out the silver. The stall owner was immediately happy when he saw this. personally stepped forward and took the silver ingot, "Uncle, don't send it if you go slowly,"

After leaving the stall and walking forward for a while, the emperor handed the mask to Gonggong Li and said, "Why, you are so stupid that I can't even see if he is fooling me?" ”

Gonggong Li was slightly stunned, stopped and looked at him with some surprise, "What does the emperor mean ......?"

"Yes, I have already seen his thoughts, but even so, this king still admires his serious nonsense appearance, after all, there are very few people who are so confident. In addition, when you demolish him later, he can still be calm and continue to maintain his position, and I feel that I am happy to earn her ten taels of silver. ”

What kind of logic is this? Gonggong Li looked inexplicable, but when he saw that his master rarely showed a smile, he no longer cared about the stall owner's behavior.

"Master, where do you want to go next?"
