Chapter Forty-Six: Picking up the lamp and being talked about the government
Yang Xi covered his mouth and yawned, and said with a smile: "Yes, I am busy enough, not only went to Lingbo Pavilion, but also went to the concubine, by the way, come to see Concubine Chen!" ”
"Your Majesty is indeed busy enough!" Chen Qingxuan got up, sat on the quilt, leaned on the bed and smiled.
"So, I don't want to leave, I want to stay here for a night, what do you think?" Yang Xi asked with a smile.
"Your Majesty should sleep in the palace seriously, the concubine is a little uncomfortable today, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for Your Majesty!" Chen Qingxuan sat and didn't move, he ran around two or three places overnight, so he wasn't tired? Listening to it, I really thought that I was young and could wander among the many concubines?
"Concubine Ai wants to go wrong!" Yang Xi reached out and pinched her upturned little nose, and said with a smile, "I just want to stay with you for the night. ”
Chen Qingxuan looked at him stubbornly, what are you kidding? Anyway, she wasn't very prepared to give him half of her bed, so she began to pretend to be confused: "The concubine doesn't understand!" ”
Yang Xi saw that she was not ready to get up at all and divide half of the bed for herself, and her eyes fell on a small bed next to her, in the concubine's room of sufficient grade, all of which were furnished like this - there will be a simple low couch next to it, which is slept by her own personal palace maids, and the bed is rolled up during the day and covered with cushions, which can be used for sitting and lying down, and it does not affect the appearance.
Chen Qingxuan doesn't like people to sleep in her room, so even Yuehe sleeps in the outer room, and the two palace maids, Meizi and Bamboo, live separately, and no one sleeps on this low couch in her room on weekdays.
And at this time, he saw Yang Xi's eyes fall on the low couch, and said secretly in his heart: "If he doesn't let him go to bed, he shouldn't want her to sleep on that kind of low couch, right?" ”
It's really too much to think about it, and I actually turned His Majesty away.
However, if he is allowed to stay here until dawn, God knows how many tongues he will provoke, it is better to let him go to the palace, anyway, it is only a few steps from here to his own dormitory, Jingyang Palace.
"Little Guizi!" Yang Xi shouted in a low voice.
"The minions are here!" Xiao Guizi was busy bowing in from outside.
"Spread my futon here, and I'll not leave tonight!" Yang Xi pointed to the low couch.
"Your Majesty, this can't be helped!" Xiao Guizi's face changed when he heard this, such a low couch is prepared for servants and slaves, how can he let His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Zhou Kingdom sleep in such a place.
"Hurry up, Hugh is going to be verbose!" Yang Xi said with a calm face.
Chen Qingxuan still just looked at him and didn't move, and soon, the little nobleman had already taken the futon and other things, and spread them on the low couch, Yang Xi waved his hand and ordered them all to go out, and at the same time instructed: "If anyone dares to go out and chew the root of their tongue, be careful of your heads!" ”
Xiao Guizi secretly looked up at Chen Qingxuan, and hurriedly bowed and retreated.
Yang Xi untied his clothes and lay down on the low couch, Chen Qingxuan saw him like this, he didn't speak, and lay down again, but he couldn't sleep?
What is Yang Xi going to do? put his dormitory and didn't sleep, and came to her to make trouble, didn't he dislike her enough trouble? If this is preached, it will be troublesome from now on.
She couldn't sleep, but she could also hear the sound of rustling from Yang Xi's bed, and she didn't seem to be able to sleep either.
"Qing Xuan, have you slept?" Yang Xi finally couldn't help it and shouted in a low voice.
"Being troubled by His Majesty, the concubine has no sleep!" Chen Qingxuan turned over and simply sat up again.
"I can't sleep!" Seeing this, Yang Xi also got up and sat up, uncovered the quilt, put on a fox fur coat, walked to the underground tea stove, reached out and picked up a tea cup, warmed the water, rinsed his mouth first, and then poured tea, drank for half an hour, and asked, "Does Concubine Ai want to drink tea?" ”
"Your Majesty, let's go back to the dormitory and sleep, don't make a fuss!" Chen Qingxuan persuaded bitterly.
"Uh...... I'm not ready to go back! Yang Xi said as he poured tea for her, and said in a low voice, "If Concubine Ai can't sleep, why don't we two talk?" ”
Chen Qingxuan took the teacup, took a sip, and still handed it to him, Yang Xi took it, put it aside, and then sat on her bed, and sighed in a low voice: "I deserve to be the emperor?" ”
"What do you mean, Your Majesty?" Chen Qingxuan chuckled, he didn't sleep in the middle of the night, he didn't just come to her to complain, right?
"It's bitter in every way!" Yang Xi sighed, took a pillow and leaned on it, sat on her bed, and sighed in a low voice, "Internal and external troubles, even who I want to favor, I can't help myself, and the emperor is incompetent to do my part." ”
"Your Majesty is too humble!" Chen Qingxuan said in a low voice.
"Too humble? Outside, there is the Southern Xia Kingdom eyeing the tiger, the prime minister of the court and the central government and many courtiers are forming a party for personal gain, Gu Zhen has a large army in his hands, and he doesn't put me as the emperor in his eyes at all......" Yang Xi whispered.
"Your Majesty's many indulgences!" Chen Qingxuan leaned on the bed and said in a low voice.
"I'm helpless, I'm going to move the roots, I'm so confused, I don't know where to start?" Yang Xi sighed.
"Your Majesty went to Huayang Palace, can you see Wang Cairen?" Chen Qingxuan asked.
Yang Xi nodded, a little unsure of the meaning of her words, Chen Qingxuan smiled and said, "Wang Cairen is the granddaughter of the princess of Zhenguo. ”
"I'm afraid of driving wolves and attracting tigers, but it's not beautiful!" Yang Xi shook his head and said, "It's not like I haven't thought about it. ”
"There are no wolves, only tigers, and the two tigers are fighting ......" Speaking of this, Chen Qingxuan was silent.
Yang Xi looked at her in a daze, Chen Qingxuan's sleepy eyes were hazy, and he seemed to have fallen asleep, not only did he exclaim softly: "Ai Fei - Ai Fei - There are many omissions in the imperial court's taxes, resulting in an empty treasury, and a lot of silver flows into some courtiers' mansions......"
"All the wealth of the world is owned by His Majesty, and His Majesty can obtain it, not to mention, how much tax can be collected from the heads of the common people who are bitter?" Chen Qingxuan closed his eyes and whispered, "Nowadays, there is a large population, many businessmen, and many wealthy people, and all these commercial houses in the world are protected by important ministers and officials in the DPRK and China......"
In the end, she was silent and slept peacefully.
"Aifei-Aifei-" Yang Xi called twice, seeing that she didn't answer, and didn't know if she was really asleep, or pretending, but she still walked over, gently helped her to lie down, and pulled the brocade quilt to cover her.
Looking at her sleeping face, he suddenly had an impulse to lean down and kiss her lips secretly.
"I have always believed that you are the lucky star of my life!" Yang Xi chuckled, turned around, and lay down on the low couch next to him, this time, he actually slept peacefully, until the fifth watch, when Xiao Guizi came in to wake him up.
Hearing the whispered voice, Chen Qingxuan sat up, saw that Yang Xi had changed into court clothes, and asked, "Your Majesty is going to the early court?" ”
"Yes!" Yang Xi lowered his head and said, "It's still early, Concubine Ai can sleep for a while!" ”
