Chapter Eighty-Eight: The One Who Pleases the Heart
When the emperor finally took care of his official duties and raised his head, he saw that the queen was serious and attentive, raised her slender jade hand and carefully removed the oil on the ginseng soup, and put it into the bowl one by one.
Suddenly, the emperor felt a piece of ironing! After all, after a tired day, suddenly someone brought you some soup to relax, others didn't know about the emperor, but the emperor felt very comfortable now, and suddenly the whole person's mood was a lot better.
When the queen took the soup, she slowed down, worried that it was too fast, and the emperor didn't come over. Even if the action is slow, the emperor shouldn't have come over at this time! Could it be that the emperor has taken on another official business?
She turned her head to look at the emperor with some confusion, and saw the emperor staring at her in a daze? She wasn't mistaken, right? The emperor stared at her in a daze? The queen was looked at like this by the emperor for the first time, and thought that she had lost her honor in front of the palace.
"Your Majesty, why can't you come over? Is there something wrong with the concubine? As she spoke, the queen subconsciously raised her hand and touched her hair and face, but she didn't feel anything.
The emperor came back to his senses at this time, quickly shook his head, and said, "It's okay, I was thinking about business just now, and I fell into the gods for a while." With that, the emperor left the dragon chair and walked towards the collapse.
"Then the emperor hurry up and drink ginseng soup, the concubine specially asked people to put it down and stew it in the morning, just thinking that the stew is good and bring it over to the emperor to make up for your body." After saying that, the queen picked up the bowl that had just been put on the table and had already been multiplied with soup.
When the queen came, she handed over the bowl in her hand.
"This kind of thing, just let the people below send it, why do you bother to come here, Kunning Palace is not far away." As he spoke, the emperor blew slightly towards the soup bowl and used it with a spoon.
The queen said with a smile: "Taking care of the emperor's daily life and diet is what the concubines should do, and it is also what the concubines are willing to do. The people below will inevitably have places where they are not well taken care of, could it be that the emperor dislikes his concubines? ”
The emperor naturally knows that this must not be the reason why the queen came, you know, but there is no concubine who came to the imperial study in person to deliver soup and water without a purpose.
Even if he knew, the queen's words still made the emperor quite satisfied. The emperor obviously knew that the queen came over to say something, but he just didn't speak, it depended on whether the queen could hold back.
Since a scene has begun, it is natural to endure it until the end. The queen didn't say anything, just served the emperor to drink ginseng soup. The emperor drank all the ginseng soup, but he still didn't see the queen speak, and he had some doubts in his heart, could it be that the queen really just came to deliver the soup?
After many years of husband and wife, the emperor does not say that he knows the queen 100%, but he must know a lot about the queen. After all, if the king of a country doesn't even have the slightest eye to see people, then this court will definitely become a world of ministers and thieves.
The queen just took the bowl quietly, she was wondering how to speak.
"Your Majesty, hasn't the decree of Zhengyu and Taifu's eldest daughter been decreed yet?"
The emperor thought that the queen was in a hurry, after all, this matter was raised by the queen from the beginning, and she was the mother of the third son, so it was normal to be in a hurry.
"I was going to Li De to announce the decree, but I thought about it again, so I put it on hold. Don't worry, the decree has already been written, but it's just a matter of time. ”
The queen naturally knew that since the holy decree had been written, and let her know, there would be no change in the emperor's golden words. She's just trying to use this to lead her to what she wants to talk about next.
"Your Majesty, I don't know if the concubine wants to be a matchmaker recently, this little prince of Prince Gong's mansion, Xie Tianrui, is about the same age as Zhengyu, but he hasn't married yet!"
"Oh? Why did you suddenly think of Zhengyu? "The emperor feels a little strange, you must know that although he doesn't say how much the queen likes Xie Tianrui on weekdays, he has no feelings for Xie Tianrui, but the emperor can still feel it.
It's just that the emperor has never been profitable, and he will be so tolerant of Xie Tianrui in particular, there must be other reasons, but this reason is inconvenient to announce to the world.
Early this morning, Prince Gong handed a sign to the palace, saying that she had not seen her concubine for a long time, and she wanted to enter the palace to accompany her concubine and talk to her concubine. The concubine thought that she hadn't seen Prince Gong for a long time, so she agreed. After seeing Prince Gong and Princess Gong, the concubine suddenly remembered that Xie Tianrui, the king of Xiaojun, was not young, but he had not yet married. ”
The queen did not directly say the reason, leaving room for imagination for the emperor. Then he paused and continued: "The concubine knows the emperor's love for Xie Tianrui, the king of the little county, and she doesn't dare to make decisions on her own, so she came to ask the emperor for your opinion." ”
Sometimes, the picture made up by one's own brain may be more acceptable and convincing than the truth.
If the emperor thought unexpectedly, the queen would not suddenly think of mentioning this matter, plus Prince Gong entered the palace to meet the queen in the morning, it should be Prince Gong and the queen proposed it.
"Xie Tianrui, that kid already has a favorite candidate, and he wants you to marry?"
The emperor was a little crying and laughing, he had just met Xie Tianrui a few days ago, and he hadn't heard Xie Tianrui mention this matter at all. This is not a big deal, just tell him directly, it is difficult for him to disagree.
has a favorite woman, don't just say it, actually tactfully find his mother to enter the palace to ask for the queen's decree, is it possible that his holy decree is not as useful as the queen's decree!
When the queen heard this, she just wanted to use Princess Gong to be in a hurry, so she wanted to find an excuse for Xie Tianrui to talk about it. I didn't expect the direction the emperor himself wanted to be even better than the excuse she intended, why didn't she think of it in the first place!
"It seems that the emperor, you really understand the mind of the little county king!"
The queen said with a smile on the corner of her mouth, neither admitting nor denying it, but that's it, let the emperor decide that this is what it is.
"Which girl did this kid fall in love with and came to you to make peace?"
"If you go back to the emperor, it's Tang Yining, the second lady of the General's Mansion."
The unique roster that Lianxiang had prepared didn't seem to be useful.
Seeing that the emperor and the queen had finished eating, Mr. Li asked people to come and take away the bowl of ginseng soup, and put the two on the latest rainy day dragon well, and then took the others down.
"What? Xie Tianrui's kid fell in love with Tang Yining, the general's concubine? ”
The emperor's face, which was originally still with a happy expression, immediately pulled his face down, frowned, and put down the clear bone china tea cup in his hand dissatisfied.
Of course, the queen would not think that the emperor would not know about Tang Yining's bad reputation spread all over the streets and alleys. If the emperor doesn't know, it's probably those ladies who are not very good and not very bad.
Regardless of the time of day, the extremely bad and the excellent are always easier to remember.
"Does the emperor think that this second lady is wrong?"
"This Tang Yining didn't make me feel good anywhere!"
Although Xie Tianrui is not the emperor's biological son, no matter how he says it, he is a popular person in front of the emperor, which makes the emperor look at him. This second lady is not only a concubine, but also that reputation, that behavior, no learning, no talent, the key person is still very dull!
"The person that the little county king has a crush on, the concubine thinks it should be not bad. Otherwise, how could they go out of their way to find a concubine? Moreover, neither the emperor nor the concubines have ever seen the second lady of the General's Mansion, everything is just hearsay, and these rumors may still be different from reality. The emperor just doesn't believe in this person, and he should also believe that the little county king is. ”
The queen naturally investigated this Tang Yining, but the emperor did not. This candidate was selected by the queen, and it is naturally clear whether there are rumors and water in it.
She said this only for her own purposes.
Seeing that the emperor listened to her words and fell into deep thought, she breathed a sigh of relief. It's good to be able to listen to it! The basis for what she said was that Xie Tianrui wanted to marry Tang Yining, but in fact it was not.
The emperor naturally knows Xie Tianrui, the king of Xiaojun, better than the queen, so the emperor still agrees with the queen's words. In this way, the emperor did not have the initial rejection of Tang Yining.
"Xie Tianrui really fell in love with Tang Yining?"
The queen did not answer the emperor's question directly, but said separately: "Your Majesty, in fact, if you think about it from another angle, on the one hand, this is the person who the little county king wants to marry, on the other hand, this person doesn't say anything else, he always doesn't do anything hurtful, and he is still the concubine of the general's mansion." Besides, according to the understanding of the concubine, this Tang Yining is a wonderful person! ”
The emperor finally became a little interested and asked, "Oh? Wonderful? What does this mean? ”
How did the queen know what was good about Tang Yining, and if she knew, she would not want to push Tang Yining to Xie Tianrui and block Prince Gong's mansion. But this did not prevent the queen from blowing Tang Yining into the sky, so that the emperor would have a feeling that this girl was better than the eldest daughter of Taifu.
"Is it really as good as you say?"
The queen smiled: "Is this second young lady really that good, the concubine can not be said to be good." But now, the emperor, marrying a wife is really good if the little county king thinks it is good. ”
This Tang Yining already has a bad reputation, and even if the emperor finds out that what she said is exaggerated after marriage, she has other ways to excuse her. Naturally, she decided to do it as a result of everything she had already thought about.
You can't pull yourself into the water because of a Prince Gong's mansion.
Besides, after marriage, the emperor can see Tang Yining, the female dependent, is naturally on some public and formal occasions, and he may not be able to see him a few times a year, how can it be so easy to discover Tang Yining's true face.
