274. The daily life of the emperor and queen
Li Shimin's trance and absent-mindedness these days were naturally seen by Empress Changsun.
As a queen, seeing that her husband is so wrong, she is naturally obliged to help solve problems, and if she wants to solve problems, she must first find out the cause of her husband's abnormality.
It's just that Li Shimin refused to say, and she didn't want to ask too much, so after a few days, seeing that her husband had not improved, she sent Wang De, the chief attendant of the emperor's side, over.
wanted to ask him if there was something she didn't know about, but Wang De was also at a loss.
He didn't know what was going on, and he didn't follow Li Shimin on the day he went hunting.
But he also saw the emperor's mistakes in the past few days, well, is it because he went to Changle Gate? Naturally, he didn't suspect that the emperor had anything to do with the two women in Changle Gate, but thought that it was not the Zheng family who offended him again.
After all, when the Zheng family first entered, he would curse the emperor and queen Wang De if he had nothing to do, so Wang De was silent for a while and said cautiously: "Niangniang, when Your Majesty came back from hunting, I went to Changle Gate......
"Got it, thank you Princess." Empress Eldest Sun nodded.
Her thoughts were similar to Wang De's, and she thought that her sister-in-law had said something unpleasant, which made her husband feel uncomfortable, and it was wrong for a few days.
For this reason, at noon that day, when the emperor got off work and was about to eat, someone went to invite him to come over for dinner.
Li Shimin saw the eunuchs beside the queen, and remembered that in the past few days, because of something in his heart, he went to the emperor's side less, and he went by chance, for fear that his wife would see something abnormal, so he also accompanied his son and daughter to talk and ran away.
Seeing that his wife invited him over for lunch, it was naturally inconvenient to refuse, so he quickly went to the Lizheng Hall with his chamberlain.
When Li Shimin arrived at the Lizheng Palace, Princess Changle and her youngest son Li Zhi were there, and Empress Changsun saw her husband coming, and immediately took her children to greet him: "Your Majesty is here, sit down, Qinglan, and set up a meal." ”
Li Shimin sat down for a while, and the dishes came up, all of which were Li Shimin's favorite dishes, such as sour bamboo shoots and duck soup, fried yam with mountain celery fungus, etc., the sour bamboo shoots were just soaked with fresh spring bamboo shoots a few days ago, and the taste was sour and crispy.
Li Shimin likes to eat spring bamboo shoots very much, which almost everyone in the harem knows, but the dish of spring bamboo shoots is a hair thing, and he is angry when he eats too much.
Li Shimin was born as a martial artist, and his own fire is very strong, and if he eats too much of this thing, it is easy to accumulate fire and hurt people.
For this reason, whenever the spring bamboo shoots are on the market, the eldest grandson queen will specially tell the people in the imperial dining room that when making bamboo shoots for His Majesty, he must be given a dish to clear away heat and detoxify.
"It's still the queen who understands me." When Li Shimin saw a few dishes on the table, he immediately had a great appetite, and when he greeted his wife and daughter, he picked up the chopsticks and chopped them quickly.
After eating, Li Zhi was taken down for a nap, and the beautiful little girl also said goodbye and left.
When only the two of them were left in the house, Li Shimin looked at his wife and said, "The queen specially invited me to come over for dinner today, but what do you have to say?" ”
"It's nothing, it's just that Your Majesty has been in low spirits these days, and the concubine is a little worried." Empress Changsun said that she was found to be pregnant again in November last year, and now she has been six or seven months, and it is estimated that she will give birth in August.
"It's nothing, it's just that I went to see my sister-in-law a few days ago, and saw that Miao Miao was already a big girl, I was thinking about helping her to point her to the door, but this little girl didn't want to, she insisted on escaping out of the empty door and praying for her father, I felt a little uncomfortable."
Li Shimin's old face was slightly red, and naturally he couldn't tell his wife that he was worried about his younger siblings these days, so he could only bring out Miao Miao to talk about things.
Of course, this is not all a pretext, after hearing that Miao Miao refused to marry and wanted to escape into the empty door, he really felt uncomfortable.
"How did this happen? No wonder Your Majesty feels uncomfortable, if you don't change your mind, I'll persuade her again? Empress Eldest Sun was stunned when she heard this, and was silent for a moment before speaking.
She didn't doubt her husband, she was a very well-behaved and traditional person, she had been married to her husband for so many years, and she hadn't seen him have any special indulgence in women's sex, so naturally she didn't expect her husband to go to Changle Gate and have a heart for the Yang family.
"No, your body is heavy, don't think about these things for the time being, Miao Miao, I see that her move is not single-minded, but a decision made after serious thinking, besides, even if you want to persuade her, wait for a year and a half."
"At that time, if she can change her mind, we will help her find a good family affair." Li Shimin looked at his wife's appearance, and suddenly spurned himself in his heart, since the victory in the North Road, his flowery intestines seem to have increased.
Could it be that as an emperor, as his merits increase, his thoughts and desires will become more and more inflated? Emperor Yang of Sui seemed to be like this back then.
Li Shimin, who was aware of this point, was nervous and determined to drive this inappropriate thought out of his mind.
Well, maybe you can consider the queen's words, draft a draft, and add a few newcomers to the palace.
Speaking of which, there has been no newcomer in his backyard for many years, and as an emperor, his brother-in-law can't think about it, so it shouldn't be too much to choose a few more concubines, right?
It's just that how to talk to his wife about this matter, he felt embarrassed again, he glanced at the eldest grandson queen with complicated eyes, his mouth opened a few times, and he was still embarrassed to say what was in his heart.
"Your Majesty has something to do, but it doesn't hurt to say it." Empress Eldest Sun became more and more surprised when she saw this.
"Oh, it's nothing, you're heavy, it's better to take a nap at noon, there's something to do in my imperial study, I'm going to get busy first." Li Shimin couldn't talk about the draft after all, and ran away in the eyes of his wife.
"Niangniang, I see that Your Majesty seems to have something to say to you, but it seems that you can't open your mouth." After Li Shimin left, Qinglan and Ah Chou walked in and spoke.
"This palace can see it, Your Majesty's appearance is indeed a little strange, forget it, since he refuses to say, it is estimated that the time has not come, and this palace will not ask more, and this palace will go to rest." Empress Eldest Sun raised her eyebrows slightly, ignored them, and turned to enter the house.
"Ugly, what do you say is wrong with Niangniang?" Qinglan looked at Ugly with a surprised face.
"I don't know, could it be that Your Majesty made Niangniang angry?" Ugly spread his hands.
It is said that Li Shimin is quite upset when he sees his wife, who is usually very responsive and intelligent, so sluggish today.
If he remembers correctly, it seems that his wife took the initiative to say to him that he wanted to draft for him during the Northern Expedition last year, right? Why didn't she say anything after the victory of the Northern Expedition?
"Your Majesty, Lord Dai Dai asks to see you." Just as he was sitting in front of the imperial case and thinking nonsense, Wang De walked in.
"Oh, let him in." Li Shimin pressed his heart and summoned Fang Dai Zhou in.
"Dai Qing, you came to me at this time, but what's the urgency?" As soon as Li Shimin saw Dai Guan, he asked.
"Back to Your Majesty, the food and money in our treasury are in an emergency." Dai Zhou replied.
