Chapter 162: Father's Sister
β? οΌοΌ
Gong Qingtian beckoned to Ye Ruoxi, Ye Ruoxi walked over with a smile, and then knelt down in front of the bamboo couch: "See the emperor, what does the emperor command?" β
"Get up, kneel now, don't you think it's too late? I don't think I'm sincere in kneeling down to me. β
"Your Majesty, look at what you said, the people who kneel at your feet all day long and worship are piled up and piled up, aren't you tired of it? I'm sure you're not short of me, so why bother. You see, I admire the emperor from the bottom of my heart, and my admiration for you is like the water of the Yellow River, gushing endlessly. β
"Talking is more interesting than my mother, and I should be called my father."
Ye Ruoxi wrinkled her little face, in her life, she was locked by the old demon of the palace family, and she couldn't escape from the royal palm, she wanted to be a royal woman.
"Father, is this your reward?"
Ye Ruoxi fiddled with the incense burner in her hand, her eyes were resentful, she didn't know Gong Qingtian's identity just now, she said a lot of rebellious words, will the emperor see the guilt?
"Father, what, what you said just now, you just ignore it, your sons like to talk nonsense, don't mind. It is said that the prime minister's stomach can support the boat, you are the emperor, don't count it, right? β
"Now I know that those words should not be said, is it too late to say them?"
Gong Qingtian didn't have the slightest smile on his face at the moment, and his originally dim eyes flashed with a palpitating light, and he looked down indifferently at Ye Ruoxi, who was kneeling in front of the bamboo couch.
"Hehe, it doesn't seem too late, who made your father so kind and kind, so that the sons couldn't help but talk nonsense. Besides, the sons are also to be amused, and the father doesn't have to be serious about those words. Otherwise, in the future, the ministers here will not even dare to breathe in front of your father and emperor, and you may not like it. β
"Girl, are you threatening me?"
"Don't dare, where do you dare to threaten your father, that is, in front of your father, you can say anything, you don't want to hide it or say the clichΓ©s of officialdom."
"Worthy of her daughter, get up."
Ye Ruoxi got up slowly, she remembered that those people were like this in front of Xuanyuan Yan, she had to learn a little.
"Come and sit next to me."
Gong Qingtian stretched out his finger and pointed to the bamboo chair next to the bamboo couch that Ye Ruoxi was sitting on just now, Ye Ruoxi was not polite, so he sat down and looked at Gong Qingtian with a smile. Even if she has more awe and jealousy of this emperor in her heart, she will not show it on her face.
"Aren't you afraid of me?"
"Does my father want his sons to be afraid of you?"
"What kind of person am I in my eyes?"
"In the eyes of your son, you are the father of your son, a sick and frail old man."
Gong Qingtian closed his eyes slightly, in her eyes, was he like this?
For a long time, Gong Qingtian didn't speak, Ye Ruoxi didn't speak, Gong Qingtian suddenly gasped, coughed violently, and his face surged with the abnormal Yin
Red.
Ye Ruoxi silently held Gong Qingtian's hand and transmitted the internal force into it, Gong Qingtian's wheezing and coughing gradually subsided, he gasped heavily, feeling the internal force that Ye Ruoxi had transmitted into his body, and understood that from the moment Ye Ruoxi came in to this moment, almost all the internal force was exhausted for him.
"When I first came in, I didn't know who I was, why did I spend all my internal energy?"
"It doesn't make a difference to me who it is, I'm just helping a sick old man."
Ye Ruoxi smiled softly and looked directly into Gong Qingtian's eyes: "Of course, now it's different, you are the father of Erchen, and you are even closer." β
"This kid."
Gong Qingtian's expression also softened, just now Ye Ruoxi didn't know who he was, so he was willing to spend a lot of internal strength for him, talk to him and take care of him, he saw that Ye Ruoxi's heart was pure, and he liked this shrewd and wise daughter-in-law even more.
"Is it so good for anyone?"
"To my family and friends, to be as warm as spring, to my enemies, to be as harsh as winter, hehe, this rule I will never change. I'm not so kind to anyone, but I'm just in love with my father. β
Ye Ruoxi began to pat Gong Qingtian's ass and coaxed this father and emperor, but there were too many benefits for her, so why not do it.
With her shrewdness and mind-reading skills, how could she not see that Gong Qingtian had a deep affection for her mother, and she was also very fond of spoiling.
"Ruoxi, it's very good, my father likes it very much. It won't be long before Jinwen will sit in my position, and with Jinwen by his side, I will be relieved. There is a queen to assist Jinwen inside, and Qingbi outside, so I can be safe and worry-free. β
"Father, the queen is actually not fun, do you have to be the queen?"
"That position, I don't know how many people want it, so I don't care about it?"
"I've never thought about being a queen, in front of your father, my son doesn't want to hide what he says, a lot of scruples, just say anything, father, don't be surprised, okay?"
"Father won't blame me, it's my child, I want to speak like this in front of me."
"Father, what do you say is good about the queen? It is said that the queen's status is noble, but it is difficult to get out of the palace, and she is locked in this golden wire cage all day long, how depressed. If there are hundreds of more women and queens competing for a husband, how tiring should they be to intrigue all day long? I originally liked the days of freedom, coming and going like the wind, life is a flick of a finger, but for decades, why not choose an easy life, to make yourself too tired. β
"Ruoxi is the queen of thieves who is famous in the rivers and lakes, and even I have heard of the good name, do you want to give up the glory and wealth, and the position of the noble queen, and go to wander the rivers and lakes?"
"That kind of life is what Erchen likes, but ......"
Ye Ruoxi wrinkled her little face and put on a pose
The appearance of the bitter gourd, she has been tied to the wrist by the big demon, eaten and locked, where can she run?
In the boat in the water pavilion, Xuanyuan Yan's hand was clenched into a fist, a woman without conscience, at such a time, she still dared to have this kind of thought.
Worry surged in Xuanyuan Yan's heart, he had never had this kind of worry, he couldn't let go, he couldn't let her go, even if he tied up, he also wanted to tie this woman who was not in the room to his wrist, so that she would not want to escape from him.
"Brother Huang, you don't have to worry, the imperial sister-in-law is reluctant to leave you."
Xuanyuan Yan wrote on the table with his fingers, Xuanyuan Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and his eyes were dark.
"Alas, father, what do you say I should do?"
"If you have any doubts, tell your father, maybe your father can help solve them."
"Alas...... I'm afraid that Erchen can't do without your son of the great demon, who was eaten to death by him. If it weren't for him, I would have slipped away a long time ago, why should I be harmed by people in this kind of place, so depressed, I almost lost my life several times. β
"Jinwen, right?"
Hearing Gong Qingtian ask, Ye Ruoxi smiled, his eyes were full of affection, with "deep love" written on his left face and "moved" written on his right face.
"He's very good to me......"
Xuanyuan Yan's kindness to her, that affection and doting, how could she not know that she was bound by his deep affection, and it was difficult to leave.
"In that case, stay by Jinwen's side and use your wisdom and strength to help him. He needs, don't leave him, girl, don't know to cherish, for many years, there has not been a woman who can touch Jinwen's heart, she is the only one. β
Ye Ruoxi pondered, she didn't know what the future would be like, if Xuanyuan Yan ascended the throne and became the emperor, whether they would be farther and farther apart, but she would hold on to the present and win the future.
"Father, I will hold his hand tightly, even if he lets go, he will rest and easily shake me off."
"Good girl, she is worthy of being my daughter-in-law, and I am relieved to be by Jinwen's side."
"Father, you shouldn't overwork, the ministers here have been talking to you for a while, you should also rest."
"It doesn't matter, my time is short, and once I rest, it may be forever. Until then, I always have to cherish this moment. β
"Father's ......"
Ye Ruoxi didn't know what to say, in the face of an old man who was sick and weak and was dying, any comfort was superfluous. In particular, this emperor is incomparably wise and discerning, and there is something he can't figure out.
Holding Gong Qingtian's hand tightly, Ye Ruoxi just input the internal force little by little, feeling tired, her internal force has been exhausted, and it is difficult to continue, she does not dare to stop, because without the maintenance of her internal force, maybe this old man no longer even has the strength to speak.
Gong Qingtian
Pat it on
Ye Ruoxi's hand withdrew from Ye Ruoxi's hand with a smile, he knew that Ye Ruoxi's internal strength had been exhausted for him, and he couldn't help but think of Ye Tianqing, every time Ye Tianqing came to meet him, he would consume all the strong and profound internal force for him before he would stop.
Every day, he relies on these internal forces and drugs to maintain himself.
Although he will never lack people who will provide him with internal force, and he doesn't have to bother Ye Tianqing to do this, he understands that it is Ye Tianqing's heart for him. Ye Tianqing's internal strength is profound, and he can be compared to non-idlers, and he can last for a few days at a time.
Therefore, Ye Tianqing would come over every few days to meet him, not because he had something to return to, but just to use his internal strength to extend his life.
"The father and son of the Xi family, as well as Ruoxi, are all the same, for me, they will all be like this!"
Gong Qingtian stroked his hand, there have been too many times in his body, the internal force that the Xi family has delivered for him, even every time Kang Yuanbang meets him, it is the same, if he does not consume the internal force, he will never walk out of the door of his dormitory.
"The Xi family is loyal to me, and there is no dissent!"
"Ruoxi, go open the window lattice, I want to breathe fresh air."
Ye Ruoxi hurriedly got up, opened a window lattice, turned around to the bamboo couch, and pulled the brocade quilt upwards for Gong Qingtian.
"Come on, spread Ye Tianqing to see you."
"Yes."
Not far outside, someone agreed, Ye Ruoxi didn't even hear the sound of footsteps, and he didn't notice that someone was so close.
Not long after, Ye Tianqing's echo of asking to see him sounded outside, the door was pushed open, Ye Tianqing bowed his head and bent in, and walked forward, picking up his clothes and kneeling: "See the emperor." β
"Your Majesty, please forgive the emperor, the daughter of the minister is ignorant and ignorant, offending the emperor's authority, and the minister asks the emperor for his guilt."
"Qingbi, get up, Ruoxi is fine, I like her very much."
"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty."
Ye Tianqing took a few steps forward and bowed down to stand in front of the bamboo couch: "Please ask the emperor to order, the minister is here to wait for the emperor's will." β
"Father."
"See the crown princess."
Ye Tianqing bowed down to Ye Ruoxi, although they are close relatives of father and daughter, but Ye Ruoxi is the crown princess in the end, the real princess, as a courtier, he also has to bow to Ye Ruoxi.
"Father, daughter to meet father."
Ye Ruoxi hurriedly bowed in return, still very uninterested in this kind of rule.
"Qingbi, it's not in the court, these vulgar rites don't need to be narrated, my daughter is very good, she is the best candidate for the queen, I am very satisfied. She was more elve-and-aque-like than her mother, and she made me happy. β
"Yes, the emperor is too generous and spoils her too much, so that she doesn't know the rules."
Gong Qingtian sighed, his breathing became heavy and urgent, he consumed too much energy tonight, even if Ye Ruoxi used internal power to input, but Ye Ruoxi's internal strength
The merit is not high, so he can only barely maintain the conversation between him and Ye Ruoxi.
Ye Tianqing hurriedly knelt on one knee in front of the bamboo couch, reached out and held Gong Qingtian's hand, and slowly input the strong internal force.
If Gong Qingtian hadn't been asleep on the sickbed recently, waking up and consuming a little more energy, he would need someone else's input of internal force in order to maintain and continue his life and delay the arrival of his last days.
Ye Ruoxi looked sideways at Ye Tianqing kneeling in front of the bamboo couch, such a Ye Tianqing was something she had never seen, on a handsome face with mature charm, the deep sadness, the admiration in the eyes, there was no hypocrisy.
In front of such an old man who was so weak that he had to rely on his internal strength to continue his life, her father, who leaned towards the government and the opposition, and the right minister of the Tanglin Kingdom, had an extremely obedient attitude and did not have the slightest disobedience to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, please rest for a while."
"Hmm."
Gong Qingtian closed his eyes and didn't speak for a long time, with the help of the internal force from Ye Tianqing's hands, he gradually gained some spirit again.
"Qingbi, it wasn't for me to open my mouth at the beginning, and I would never marry Ruoxi to Jinwen, I must have been very embarrassed at the time, but because I spoke, I didn't say much. Qingbi is difficult for me. β
"The emperor's words are serious, the emperor's will, the minister must obey it, everything the minister does, is willing, and there is no reluctance, please don't mention this matter again. At the beginning, the minister was stupid and didn't understand the emperor's deep meaning, and the emperor forgave his sins. β
"For thirty years, Qingbi has been loyal to me, and from tonight, there is still Jinwen in the Tanglin Kingdom, and I will be handed over to the ministry."
"Your Majesty, please don't work your mind and recuperate the dragon body, the emperor's wish is the minister's wish, and the minister will definitely let the emperor get his wish, and he will never dare to disappoint the emperor in the slightest."
"Qingbi, Xi family, there will be another queen."
"Yes, the emperor, everything is in accordance with the emperor's will."
"Qingbi, the Xi family, there can only be one queen, that is, the daughter Ruoxi, I like her."
"Yes, Your Majesty, the ministers understand, and I will obey the emperor's will."
"Ruoxi, be my daughter-in-law and the queen of Jinwen, how about it?"
"Father, the sons obey the order, please rest assured that the sons will try their best to assist the prince to ascend the throne and become the emperor and govern the Tanglin Kingdom."
"That's good, I'll rest assured, Qingbi, how is the border doing?"
"Your Majesty, please don't worry about such trivial matters, the ministers will return to the prince and ask the prince to show me."
"It's okay, Jinwen should also deal with the government affairs, study hard, Qingbi, take him with your heart, just like when I took him all the way. It's just that I'm delayed to visit the great rivers and mountains of Tanglin Kingdom, don't blame me, I don't worry about handing it over to others. β
"Your Majesty, please don't say it again, the ministers understand that everything will act according to the emperor's wishes."
Ye Tianqing lowered his head, his hand was slight
trembling slightly, seeing that the emperor had almost reached the end of the oil lamp, he had a deep and unspeakable sadness in his heart.
"I don't have the energy to worry about it, I believe that it can be arranged properly, and everything will be entrusted to me."
"Yes, the ministers obey the order, the emperor's intentions, the ministers understand, please don't bother the emperor."
"I can spend a few days on it, so let me spend more time today, but it will cost me more internal strength."
"The emperor's words are serious, and the ministers only hate their lowly abilities, and they can't make the emperor better."
"Ruoxi, come here."
Ye Ruoxi hurriedly knelt in front of the bamboo couch, and the emperor's attitude and words tonight were to support Gu.
"Ruoxi, Jin Wenzhen handed it over, and my father will arrange all the things in the future, and listen to my father's arrangements. Don't be too willful, the future will be the queen of the Tanglin Kingdom, and the child will be the prince of the future Tanglin Kingdom. β
"Father, don't worry, the son will assist the prince, please rest assured."
Ye Ruoxi smiled bitterly, there can only be one queen in the Xi family, and the emperor's meaning is already very clear, her position as queen is probably to be paved with the blood of her aunt, Xi Qinglian, and lead to the position of the mother of a country.
There was deep sadness in her heart, she understood that this was the emperor's power technique, and it was also something that had to be done.
Ye Tianqing just nodded in agreement, knelt in front of the bamboo couch, and did not say a word of disobedience, which made Ye Ruoxi feel a little strange.
She didn't quite understand why Ye Tianqing was so deferential to the emperor, not even a word of disobedience, and the slightest expression of disapproval. Speaking of the Xi family that there can only be one queen, Ye Tianqing's attitude was indifferent, as if that should be extremely normal.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured, the Empress has been deeply favored by the Emperor for many years, and she should be loyal to the Emperor and wait by the Emperor's side."
Ye Ruoxi's heart tightened, the meaning of this sentence was that Ye Tianqing was promising the emperor to let Xi Qinglian be martyred.
"Is she a member of the Xi family, her father's sister, does her father really want to sacrifice her?"
"Ruoxi, step back first, there are things to do for my father and the emperor."
Ye Tianqing said unceremoniously, as if he had forgotten the identity of Ye Ruoxi's crown princess, Ye Ruoxi was depressed, just now the emperor asked her if she was willing to be Xuanyuan Yan's wife, the queen of the Tanglin Kingdom, but as soon as she turned around, she was thrown out of the wall by her cheap father.
"Let her stay, she is the future queen of the Tanglin Kingdom, there are some things to know."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Let them in."
"Yes, someone is coming, and it is rumored that the crown prince and His Royal Highness will meet you."
"Yes."
