Chapter 471: In the Palace
"What's wrong? Emperor? What's going on? After Chaolu invited all his subordinates down, he sat down next to Li Ting and asked.
"Have you ever heard about a story that is spreading in the capital today?" Li Ting looked at him.
Chao Lu immediately understood in his heart, what was Li Ting asking about, what else could be the most lively thing in the capital, and it was not the matter of Li Xu's family.
"Is the emperor talking about the matter of Li Xu's family?" Chao Lu asked cautiously, and at the same time kept looking at Li Ting's expression, and sure enough, after hearing this answer, he moved his brows obviously.
"What do you think of Concubine Ai?" Li Ting was a little impatient to know what Chaolu thought, and he was in Zheng Yan'er's palace just now, which could be regarded as a good breath for him.
Chaolu thought about it quickly, and then said to Li Ting, "What is there to think about the concubine, this national affairs have always been the emperor's decision, naturally the emperor, your decision is the most important, you feel that you should do what you want, why do you need to ask the concubine what she thinks?" ”
"Really?!" Li Ting didn't expect to hear such an answer from Chaolu's mouth, since he ascended the throne, no one had ever told him that his thoughts were the most important, "Then what if you think wrong?" Wouldn't it be laughable and generous when the time comes? ”
Chaolu shook his head very gently, "Your Majesty, how can you think so, you are the Ninety-Five, you just made a mistake, it is extremely normal, people are not sages, who can do nothing, not to mention that you have to work so much for state affairs every day, even a little mistake can be forgiven, the concubines believe that the people will not understand such a truth." ”
Li Ting smiled when he heard this, pulled Chaolu closer to him, and said, "Sure enough, Concubine Ai knows best, and understands what I think, and the rest of the people only know how to persuade me to do this and that, which is not interesting at all." ”
Li Ting realized more and more that what Chao Lu said was very right, yes, he is the emperor, he is the symbol of the highest power in this country, why should he care too much about what those people say about him, and so their opinions are not important at all, because the person who is really in power is himself!
"Now, can the emperor tell his concubines why the emperor has been unhappy recently?" Chaolu asked very thoughtfully.
Li Ting was silent for a while, as if recalling that Fang Cai himself had become a little unhappy again, and then said to Chaolu, "Well, only here can I be truly happy, and I am at Concubine Rong's place, but I am just angry with her." ”
Chao Lu suddenly made a very surprised expression, not to mention that Concubine Rong really loves Li Ting, even ordinary concubines will not easily dare to make Li Ting angry, what is going on?
"Your Majesty, are you mistaken, how can Concubine Rong make you angry? She has always loved the emperor the most! ”
Unexpectedly, after Li Ting shook his head, he also looked very disappointed, "I was ignorant in the past, but now I am many years older, and he still treats him like before, which really makes me feel unaccustomed to my hands, and I am ......"
"And what?" Chaolu is not a particularly intelligent person, but in front of Li Ting and Zhang Yan'er, she can always observe some extraordinarily trivial questions.
"It's not such a special thing," It's just that as you said, this matter has now spread to the harem, but Concubine Rong, as the head of the harem, has not yet dealt with this matter, confirming that this issue has been widely publicized, and it is also discussed casually in front of me, I naturally can't let her go easily, so I gave a few words. ”
"Is it because of this that the emperor is depressed?" It's no wonder, as a concubine in the harem, the most important thing is not to have an inexplicable relationship with the previous dynasty, not to mention that Zheng Yan'er's father and brothers were powerful people in the previous dynasty, no wonder the emperor felt uncomfortable.
"Yes, if she doesn't say it, it's fine, but she still has to come to this front to say that she herself is very knowledgeable, and she knows more than I know!" It seems that Li Ting really doesn't like Zheng Yan'er's self-righteous appearance very much.
Indeed, as long as she is a normal person, she basically won't like Zheng Yan'er's way of getting along, and she can't wait to reveal everything she knows and tell you clearly, but in fact, she only knows a little about everything, and such a person is the most annoying.
But in front of Li Ting, he couldn't say that, "Your Majesty." Rong Guifei Niangniang is not deliberately showing off in front of you, he is just to share a worry or two for the emperor, you think, you have worked so hard in the court, and she still has to ask you these things when you arrive in her palace, isn't it just that you are afraid that you will be too involved in state affairs after the next dynasty? ”
Li Ting opened his mouth wide in shock when he heard Chao Lu speak for Concubine Rong Guifei, "Chao Lu, why is she treating you like this, and you still have to speak for her?" As far as I know, Concubine Rong hasn't treated you well since she beat you into the palace, right? ”
That's because saying this can make you hate Zheng Yan'er even more, so that it can reflect my generosity! Chao Lu thought about it in her heart, but she said obediently, "Your Majesty, you are too worried, since the concubines entered the palace, Concubine Rong has also cared for the concubines!" Moreover, if I don't have a good relationship with Concubine Rong and still speak for her, wouldn't it be more proof that Concubine Rong really cares about you, the emperor? ”
Li Ting nodded thoughtfully, but he also had a shot in his heart about this kind of thing, Chaolu has been a compromiser since she entered the palace, just because she feels that her background is not as good as others, so she is very respectful at all times.
Although Li Ting often tells Chaolu that she doesn't have to care about these things outside her body at all, Chaolu is so empathetic, and she is afraid that Li Ting will be repeatedly reprimanded by the ministers of the court because of herself, so she can hide these things and never take the initiative to cause trouble.
On the other hand, Concubine Rong, relying on her own family affairs, has never been willing to settle down in this palace, in the past, he could still feel a trace of Zheng Yan'er's loveliness, but now he is only bored.
Li Ting knew that what he needed was not a concubine who was looking for his attention all the time, but a gentle and considerate person like Chaolu.
"Your Majesty, don't think so much! If Concubine Rong knew what he wanted, but was misunderstood by the emperor, how sad should he be? It's not easy for everyone in this palace, and it's even more difficult for you, the emperor, as the master of the harem, so it's better to forget these troublesome things quickly, let's go and rest for a while, okay? ”
"Okay, I'll listen to Chaolu, so no matter how long I've been with others or Chaolu, you make me feel the most comfortable, the other concubines are too noisy, I don't want to stay!" Li Ting followed Chaolu into the back room as he spoke, and the income was very skillful in pressing the mole for him.
