Chapter 291: Checks and Balances
Yan Miaoyu just wanted to reach out and touch the child's cute face, but Li Ruoxi opened his eyes at this time but softly stopped him.
"Your Majesty, if the child just falls asleep and touches it, I'm afraid that he will wake up crying and upset His Majesty."
Yan Miaoyu withdrew her hand and sat beside her again, and said with a smile.
"There are so many nurses in the palace, but you have to work hard to take her with you, why bother?"
"Your Majesty, what mother in this world is willing to be separated from her child? During the day, a few nurses took her, and this night, I always had to watch him by my side to feel at ease. ”
Li Ruoxi's affair is full of maternal love, and she smiled happily when she looked at the child.
"Well, it's hard."
Yan Miaoyu nodded and said softly, and suddenly thought of Nan Angui who had taken care of Ling Hao day and night like this, but at that time, he was busy with state affairs and had no heart to care about the two of them.
Li Ruoxi walked out of bed with a smile, took Yan Miaoyu's hand and came to the hall, and ordered Lu Luo'er to go in and take care of the prince.
"Your Majesty, did Your Majesty promise your concubines one thing two months ago, I don't know if Your Majesty still remembers."
Yan Miaoyu frowned instantly, and at the same time remembered that it was to deal with her at that time, so he tentatively promised her that she could temporarily manage the harem after giving birth.
"Ruoxi, you also know that there has always been a queen mother in this harem, and it is difficult for me to interfere."
"Could it be that what Your Majesty said before was just to coax me? It's a shame that the concubine really believes in His Majesty. ”
Li Ruoxi had no choice but to look disgusted on her face, the Queen Mother's side was not a problem for a long time, and now as long as the emperor nodded, she could achieve her goal.
"Ruoxi!"
"Your Majesty, the queen mother is now old, and she once said that she doesn't want to manage any harem affairs, and now that the queen mother is not in the palace, the concubines want to share the hardships for the queen mother, is Your Majesty so worried?"
Although he knew that Li Ruoxi's true purpose was not just to temporarily manage the harem, after all, he had no jokes, and Yan Miaoyu also knew the promise he had made.
It seems that in this harem, it is still necessary to hurry up and let Nan Angui come back.
"Okay, I'll go tomorrow
Discuss with your mother, it's rare for you to have this heart. However, you still have to take good care of your body just out of confinement. ”
A few days later, in the courtyard of the Lotus House, a man and a woman were sitting at a stone table playing chess.
Before I knew it, it was getting dark, and Nan Angui held the chess pieces in his hand for a long time and did not fall.
She looked at the chess game that was already clear on the chessboard, as long as this one fell, she could win, but Yan Miaoyu, who was sitting opposite, seemed to be very unhappy.
Nan An Gui thought for a while, and finally dropped the chess piece.
"Your Majesty, the concubine's skills are not as good as others. Still lost. ”
Retracting some deep thoughts, Yan Miao Yuzai carefully looked at these chess pieces on the chessboard, and knew at a glance that the other party was letting him.
He threw the chess pieces in his hand back into the box and told Xiao Ru to put the chessboard away.
After Xiao Ru turned around and finished collecting, she went to the kitchen to bring a few plates of pastries, and then quietly retreated.
"Your Majesty seems to want to say something to your concubine today, right?"
Coming to the Lotus House so late is definitely not just about playing chess.
Nan Angui got up and poured a cup of tea for Yan Miaoyu, and asked softly, she had already seen through Yan Miaoyu's thoughts, and she had been absent-minded since she first started playing chess.
Recently, the relationship between the two people has become more and more harmonious, and sometimes it even seems that a man and a woman who have just met are in love.
Yan Miaoyu always felt that every time he felt bored, the person he wanted to see the most was Nan Anzhuo, even if he didn't speak and was just silent, he felt extremely comfortable.
"I didn't expect you to be so good at reading people's minds now, so that you can find out that I have something on my mind."
I took a piece of pastry and took a bite, and immediately tasted that this was Nan'an's craftsmanship, and my mood was much better.
What happened in the palace recently annoyed him, Du Qing'er had just entered the palace and caused Li Ruoxi to give birth prematurely, and now Li Ruoxi wants to be in charge of the harem again, and now he has received a secret report, Prime Minister Li Cheng seems to have committed treason with the enemy but there is no evidence.
He was really tired of being the emperor, it was better to let go of this emperor and give up the throne to King Xiaoyao.
"Your Majesty, all the sorrow written on my face when I came here today, and the concubine thought
Yes, it's a headache to not know. ”
Nan Angui took a sip of tea lightly, and made the charcoal fire next to him a few times, and the temperature around him instantly increased.
Fortunately, both of them were wearing thick coats, otherwise it would be really difficult to freeze outside in such weather!
Yan Miaoyu did not deny his emotions, stood up with a sigh of relief, and came to the backyard.
There is no scene of lotus flowers blooming in summer in the lotus pond at all, and now it makes people feel withered and desolate.
Everyone envied him for easily obtaining the throne of emperor, but the price of ascending to such a high position was the almost loss of his beloved, and a lot of troubles disturbed him every day.
He can't be like a child who has been wronged and wants to tell others, he is the lord of a country, a king who is in charge of the lives of all people, so he is destined to bear the pain that he is not willing to bear.
"Since this lotus has been defeated, why don't you find someone to fish out the pool overnight?"
Nan Angui looked at Yan Miaoyu, who was a little sad, and began to feel distressed in her heart, frowned, and did not answer.
After a long time, Yan Miaoyu finally spoke slowly: "Li Ruoxi is now worried about the power of the harem, and the court is also above. It's chaotic, and sometimes I feel sorry for the trust of the royal brother at all, and I'm sorry for your affection. ”
Nan Angui was silent, just turned around and quietly looked at her husband beside her. She always thought that after he became the emperor, he would become a ruthless and ruthless person, and it turned out that he just hid all his vulnerability.
"Your Majesty, whether you can manage the world well, there is no need to question this, at least in the past few years since you took over the throne, there has been no trouble in the world, and the concubines have never blamed Your Majesty, how can you live up to it?"
She turned around and looked at the lotus leaves in the pond again, and continued to speak: "If Li Ruoxi wants to master the harem, don't let him go, but she still has to find someone who can check and balance her, so that there will not be a scene of one person in power." ”
Checks and balances, Yan Miaoyu nodded silently, Nan Angui is right, Li Ruoxi's character must find a woman who can contend with her, so that she can be restrained and don't do too much!
