"Your Majesty, Gonggong Guo asked someone to bring a letter to Huaqing Palace, and then went back to his room to rest." The ghostly man in the smoke coat quietly appeared in front of Bai Lihuang.

The figure under the backlight of Bailihuang was half bright and half dark, making it impossible to see his face clearly.

It's just that he subconsciously sits in a straight posture, but it looks extremely lonely.

After a while, he asked in a deep voice, "Has anyone ever appeared with you?" ”

"Your Majesty is reassured. The people in the palace of the concubine Niangniang were not subordinates. ”

Bai Li Huang waved his hand.

The man in the cigarette coat disappeared again without a sound, just as he had appeared.

After a long time, Bai Li Huang chuckled, "Now, I don't even have anyone who can listen to me." ”

……

Until the time of the palm lamp, Baili Huang did not appear in Huaqing Palace.

Seeing that Concubine Shu was not as calm and relaxed as before, the old lady shook the beauty fan and looked out from time to time, and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Niangniang, don't worry, Your Majesty may have a lot of government affairs, so I didn't come over." There are people guarding outside, and as long as His Majesty comes, he will come in and tell him. You didn't use much at noon, so why don't you have dinner first? ”

"Mama, did you say that Your Majesty believed him?" Concubine Shu frowned slightly.

"How could Your Majesty not believe you. Instead, he believed the words of the Seventh Highness? The old lady comforted her and said, "Your Majesty treats you with such affection, who in the palace can't see it?" Stop scaring yourself......"

Concubine Shugui's hand holding the fan was tight, "Pack the food on the table, and the palace will go to find Your Majesty." ”

Hearing the news of Concubine Shu's arrival, Bai Lihuang subconsciously stood up and walked two steps before stopping, his expression slightly complicated. But wait until Concubine Shu comes in. Bai Lihuang had already changed his smile and strode over to her, "Why are you here?" ”

Concubine Shu looked at his expression carefully, and saw that there was no abnormality on his face, so she put her heart down first. said softly: "I have waited for a long time and I haven't seen His Majesty coming." I thought you must have been so busy with government work that you forgot to have dinner. ”

"Hey, you really forgot if you didn't come," he glanced out, "and before I knew it, the sky was smoking." ”

"Your Majesty is always like this, it's not good for your health." Concubine Shu frowned lightly, and while setting the meal, she glanced at him disapprovingly, "Government affairs are important, but the most important thing. Or your body. Your Majesty, not only the people of the Ryuk Kingdom will depend on you, but also the concubines will depend on you, if you are tired and broken, aren't you still the concubines who are distressed? ”

"Yes, yes, it's my fault." Bai Li Huang looked at Concubine Shugui's concerned face, revealing a satisfied look, "Concubine Ai, don't worry, I will pay attention to my body in the future, have you been able to use it?" ”

Concubine Shu shook her head lightly, "The concubine will accompany Your Majesty to use it." ”

"How many times have I told you, don't always think about me, your stomach and intestines have always been very weak, you can't help being hungry, and you finally recovered, how can you fall into the root of the disease?" Bai Lihuang immediately frowned in displeasure, "Don't do this in the future." ”

"Yes, the concubines listen to you." Concubine Shu pursed her lips and smiled, and lowered her head delicately.

Bai Lihuang looked at her soft side face, but he was slightly distracted.

More than 20 years later, he is still infatuated with her gentle and quiet appearance. Even if he suspected that this gentleness and quietness might be pretended to show him, he still couldn't help but want to sink into her care and thoughtfulness.

After finishing the meal, Concubine Shu asked with concern while serving Baili Huang's clean hands: "Your Majesty is worried, but what troubles have you encountered in government affairs?" ”

"It's not a matter of government." Bai Lihuang sighed and squeezed Concubine Shu's soft and boneless hand, "Today, the emperor suddenly came to look for me, what are you doing with him?" ”

"The emperor is looking for Your Majesty, either to ask for peace or for the sake of court and political affairs, otherwise what else can there be?" Concubine Shu smiled slightly, but her face was full of curiosity.

Bai Lihuang looked at this impeccable face, and couldn't help but feel a little in a trance---- she already knew what the emperor had said to him in this place, but why could she still pretend to be so ignorant?

If he hadn't let someone follow, I'm afraid he would have believed that she really didn't know.

"He came to me, but for that woman." Bai Li Huang snorted coldly, extremely annoyed, "That woman disappeared inexplicably, he actually thought that I hid the woman and came to ask me about someone!" ”

"Gone?" Concubine Shugui's eyes flashed slightly, and she looked extremely surprised: "How could it be that she disappeared for no reason?" ”

During this time, she really didn't pay too much attention to Ruotang, and only put all her thoughts on teaching Chu Qianlan a lesson, when she heard the little eunuch relay those words in the afternoon, although she was surprised, she quickly understood, but she was afraid that the person who disappeared on the surface had already entered the eldest princess's mansion.

At that time, she understood that Chu Qianlan's so-called disappointment, loss and helplessness of being excluded and left out these days were probably all pretended to be shown to them, but everything had already been arranged behind her back---- she thought that he had temporarily ignored Shen Ruotang's side because of the unsatisfactory situation in the court, so that he had not left the palace for several nights, so she didn't know about Shen Ruotang's assassination. Otherwise, according to his attention to Shen Ruotang, he was afraid that he would not be able to bear it for a long time, but he didn't expect that he would be able to bear it with such a good heart!

The lesson he learned a few days ago about the petty fights, it seems that he didn't pay attention to it at all. He was able to say those words in front of His Majesty, which shows that he didn't take their motherhood into account at all.

Since he is unkind, let us not blame her for being unjust to him!

"It can be seen that my forbidden army commander is also useless!" Bai Lihuang slapped his thigh in annoyance, "I can't even look at a woman, I really don't know what I'm going to do with him?" ”

"Lord Zhao wants to be loyal, and he is also conscientious and has never made a mistake in doing things for His Majesty, this time, maybe he has encountered some difficulties." Concubine Shu made tea with her own hands, and put the teacup in front of Baili Huang with a slender hand, "Speaking of this, the concubine is always a little uneasy these days---- Your Majesty, since she is gone, forget about it." You see that the emperor dared to make trouble with you because of her, if something really happened to her, the emperor would not blame us. ”

She looked worried and frowned, like a selfless mother who thinks about everything for the sake of her son. Bai Lihuang looked at her, reached out to hold the hand she wanted to withdraw, and sighed softly: "If he was only for that woman, I wouldn't be so angry." I am angry that he actually arranged you nonsense in front of me for the sake of an insignificant woman, if it weren't for the fact that I really owe him for so many years, a meal would be indispensable today. ”

At this time, Concubine Shugui's heart was all relaxed.

If Baili Huang didn't say anything about this paragraph, it would show that Chu Qianlan's words still made him suspicious of her. And he didn't doubt her at all, so he could calmly relay what Chu Qianlan said to her. His trust in her could not be shaken by a few words.

Her heart was relaxed, but her face was full of shock: "The emperor arranges the concubines? ”

Bai Lihuang angrily said what Chu Qianlan had said to him, and finally shook his head and sighed: "I listened to what he said, and I couldn't speak when I was angry with him. I can see clearly how you treat him as a concubine, and he still wants to slander you in front of me! is so unfilial and ignorant, the more I think about it, the more angry I become! It's better to let him move out of the palace as soon as possible, so that I don't have to be angry when I see him! ”

"Your Majesty, dissipate your breath." Concubine Shu was busy caressing Bai Lihuang's back to smooth him, "The emperor has no form, it's all the concubines who didn't teach him well, and the concubines must teach him well in the future, don't be angry." ”

"You weren't angry when he said that about you?" Bai Lihuang looked at her and asked in confusion. Ashramble.

"The concubine has not fulfilled her responsibilities as a mother for so many years, and the emperor has a grudge against the concubine, and this knot is not so easy to untie. Besides, the concubine is often worried that his unruly sex will make you angry, so sometimes she is a little harsh on him, and if you think that he has this child in her heart, she will ...... to the concubine" Concubine Shu said, her eyes slowly reddened, but she did not shed tears, but pretended to be strong and smiled, "It's okay with the concubine, there will always be a day when the emperor can understand the concubine's hard work." ”

This is telling Bai Lihuang that Chu Qianlan's words are just lies made up to avenge her, a mother, who abandoned him back then and is too strict with him now.

As she spoke, she couldn't help but shake her head again, "That kid doesn't have a score if he wants to make things up, what kind of Gu poison, but the concubine is unheard of, how can he use the Gu poison in that Shen girl to force him to marry the Xiao family girl?" Besides, the family affairs of the girl of the Xiao family are set by Your Majesty, and the concubine is just a list. This child is really teaching...... I don't know what to say. ”

"yes, this sex is too stubborn, and it needs to be sharpened." Bai Lihuang smiled lightly at Concubine Shugui, echoed her and said, "I've been drying him for many days, and if I continue to dry it, I'm afraid that he will put all his energy on that woman again." I thought about it, let him go into the ministry to hone and hone. ”

Concubine Shugui's eyes moved slightly, but she said: "These things are naturally up to Your Majesty. ”

"You are his mother's concubine, and it is okay to help him read the details." Bai Lihuang looked at her as if he was hesitant, raised his eyebrows and asked, "What, do you think something is wrong?" ”

"The concubine was just worried about his reckless sex. After all, the Ministry of Officials is different from other places, and it is in charge of the appointment, dismissal, promotion, and transfer of officials in the DPRK and China. The concubine also heard what he did in the criminal department a few days ago, and if he acted like that, he would inevitably make enemies everywhere, and if he entered the ministry again, he was afraid that he would ......."

The Ministry of Officials is a great errand in charge of the future of officials in the DPRK and China, and if he is allowed to enter the Ministry of Officials, whether it is those officials he wants to win over, or those who are eager to curry favor with him, it will be the best opportunity for him to establish his prestige. It's too late for her to suppress him now, how can she make him enter the ministry to show his strength?

"Concubine Ai has a point." Bai Lihuang nodded reasonably, "According to what Concubine Ai sees, where should I put the emperor to hone him?" ”

"Where do the concubines know these things?" Concubine Shugui's cleverness lies in the fact that she never gives her own advice easily, "It's just that the concubine thinks that it is better to put the emperor in a less important position first, and let him calm down and settle down." ”

"Well, I'll have to think about it." Bai Lihuang seemed to accept her words, patted the back of her hand and smiled: "Only you, the concubine, are always worried that he will cause a big disaster." ”

Concubine Shugui, who heard what he said, was shocked, and she didn't know if he meant something, but when she saw Bai Lihuang's expression as usual, she smiled and said: "He is the child of the concubine, even if he has more misunderstandings about the concubine, it will not delay the concubine from worrying about him from time to time." ”

Bai Lihuang also smiled: "You are a good mother, but he is not a good son." In the future, we will ignore him, cold him, and see if he knows his mistakes. ”

Concubine Shu pursed her lips and laughed, "Okay, the concubines all listen to Your Majesty." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and the atmosphere was still the same as before.

It's just that Bai Lihuang looked at the beautiful face in front of him, and he still sighed in his heart.
