073 Despising oneself
The emperor had his back to the door, how did he know that Min'er would suddenly appear, but Concubine Shu saw the moment the queen entered the door and hooked the emperor's body.
Xiang Ye slowly put down Concubine Shu and covered her with the quilt before getting up and saying to Min'er: "You are here, sit down, I am talking to Concubine Shu." ”
They looked at each other, Min'er was so calm, but Xiang Ye pretended to be calm. At that moment, he wanted to let go of Concubine Shu immediately, or even push her away, but he felt that Concubine Shu was too pitiful, and Min'er might not want to see him so ruthless.
The emperor was not happy with Min'er and the other women with his back, Concubine Shu had been married to him for fourteen years, and he thought that even if he was ruthless, he should have some humanity.
But doing so, it is likely to make Min'er misunderstand, especially Min'er will be quiet, she will never show her face, if it really makes her temperament, but bother to coax her, I am afraid that she will hide everything in her heart, and after a long time, she will suddenly alienate herself one day.
Thinking of these things, Xiang Ye suddenly smiled, in the past seven years, he has walked to the capital step by step, and nothing will make him entangled and troubled, he can surrender to the world with the sword in his hand, and he will one day spend so much effort for women.
Min'er saw the emperor smiling at her, and she smiled faintly in return, and then directly transitioned the smile to the person on the sickbed, Concubine Shu sat and bowed slightly to Min'er, without saying or speaking, only coughed a few times, and leaned down weakly.
"When the concubine contracted the wind and cold in Qinzhou, the imperial doctor gave a lot of loquat ointment to clear the lung fever after reducing fever, and the concubine didn't know if it was suitable for the concubine, so she took a jar as it was." Min'er ordered Qingya to put it on the table, and warned Concubine Shu very clearly, "You must have asked the imperial doctor, if you can't eat it, don't eat it indiscriminately." Besides, this thing is as sweet as honey, don't let the little prince eat it by mistake. ”
Concubine Shu sneered in her heart, this young man, talking and doing things, is really leaky. She coughed a few times, thanked her, and still refused to speak.
Min'er said indifferently to the emperor: "Concubine Shu looks tired, the concubine will come to talk to her in a few days, and she will be relieved to come and see it, the emperor will sit for a while, and the concubine will retire first." ”
Xiang Ye nodded, but said deliberately: "I heard that the affairs in the palace, the queen is temporarily handed over to Lin Zhaoyi and them to take care of?" ”
Min'er Fu said: "Exactly, they have been in the palace for a long time, and they are intimate with the concubine, so they must learn a little ability, and they can't be compared with the concubine, and they are far better than the concubines." ”
Xiang Ye smiled and said: "Naturally, it can't compare to you, I know, the queen shouldn't bother too much, when Concubine Shu recovers, she will continue to share it for you." ”
The emperor looked at Concubine Shu, Min'er also set his eyes on her, and the haggard man squeezed out a smile embarrassedly, and had to speak: "The concubine will recover soon, please rest assured." It's just that she didn't mention the queen in this sentence.
Naturally, Min'er didn't care, she just came to respond to the scene, and wanted to reassure the emperor that since she was fine, she would naturally have to leave, and she couldn't hinder the intimacy between the imperial concubines. The person with a light face thinks so, the moment she entered the door just now and saw the emperor holding Concubine Shu, her heart was tight, she didn't know why she was sad, but she couldn't show her face.
Sure enough, in Xiang Ye's opinion, in Concubine Shu's opinion, the queen has not been affected by half a point, hasn't she always been this cold and uplifting?
The queen came like a dragonfly, and left without saying a word, and the biggest impression left by Anle Palace to Min'er was the cute little prince under the corridor. Concubine Shu has a good appearance, and her son is so cute, although the child cannot be qualified, but the second prince is very likable, and he smiled sweetly at the nurse Chong Min'er.
For the sake of the child, Min'er will not really ignore or despise the existence of Concubine Shu, she has always thought that it is good to be in harmony with each other. It's a pity that she has no control over others and puts her in a hostile position.
In the dormitory, the emperor had not yet left, he stood at the window and saw Min'er's smile at Xiang Feng, half relieved and half unwilling. How much he hoped that Min'er would be jealous of the situation just now, he was always entangled, hoping that Min'er could care about himself, but because reason made him calm, he shouldn't be entangled in this at all, so he kept going over and over again, always getting along with himself.
Seeing Min'er walking away, Xiang Ye turned around to look at the person on the sickbed, Concubine Shu took his gaze, even if she was weak-hearted, she didn't let herself avoid it, didn't she just hope that she could leave something more in the emperor's heart?
"You're satisfied." Unexpectedly, the emperor chose to immediately pick it out, "But I feel sorry for you." ”
Concubine Shu's eyebrows raised, and her eyes widened a lot, because pretending to cough made her throat hoarse: "What does the emperor and the emperor mean, the concubine doesn't understand." ”
Xiang Ye approached her, his expression was serious, but his tone was not cold, he didn't say these words ruthlessly, it was because he thought about more than ten years of love that he took pity on her, and said: "What do you think the queen will think about such a small action?" But in fact, whatever she thinks, it has nothing to do with me and you. Between me and you, whether there is a queen or not, no matter how much I have a deep affection for the queen, it will not have any effect, and for fourteen years, I have given you everything I should have given you. ”
What do you mean by what should be given? What do you call it all? What Concubine Shu wanted was not the situation in front of her at all, and she didn't want to listen to these words.
"Your Majesty?"
"If you do something like that, it will only make me feel that you are belittling yourself, and I will not be angry with you for the sake of the queen, but I will pity you." Xiang Ye sighed, "Take care of your body, don't wait for those few to make a mess in the palace, you will be tired of going back and cleaning up." ”
Concubine Shu smiled coldly and turned her face away: "Since the emperor is now deeply affectionate to the queen, why not take back the rights of the concubines and let the mother worry about it herself?" ”
Xiang Ye said: "If you hope for that day, I will naturally fulfill you." ”
Concubine Shu looked at the emperor suddenly, but Xiang Ye pushed her to lie down, and said gently: "Take care of your body, I will come to see you in a few days." ”
"Your Majesty...... Don't blame the concubines for being ruthless! ”
At the moment of separation, Concubine Shu gritted her teeth and said this, but the emperor still left quietly, how could his imperial spirit allow a woman to shake casually.
When he walked out of the dormitory, Feng'er ran over and happily held his father's hand, Xiang Ye still liked this son very much, picked him up and coaxed him a few words, and asked the nurse about the little prince's living habits now. However, the child pestered him and refused to let go, the emperor was not in a bad mood, and he also wanted the people inside to feel at ease, so he simply took his son to Qingming Pavilion and took him to play for a while.
The father and son went out together, Xiang Ye hugged him for a while before letting him walk by himself, the tall man was holding a small doll, and the joy of family was very beautiful, and anyone who looked at such a scene would be envious.
Not far away, Wang Jieyu wandered here with the palace maid, when she came, she met the queen to arrive, and it didn't take long for the queen to come out, thinking of taking this opportunity to go in hard, it was easier to talk in front of the emperor and the concubine, but soon the emperor also came out, holding the little prince and talking and laughing, it can be seen that he likes the second son very much.
is also a son, her Hong'er was born at the wrong time, she almost didn't see her father when she was two years old, and she didn't see the emperor for the first time until she entered Beijing, but when the emperor reached out to hug him, the four-year-old child was frightened by his father's tall and mighty, hugging her skirt and crying and trembling.
"Master, it's better for us to keep up with the emperor, if it drags on like this, there will be no chance to say it." The maid beside him reminded Wang, "That week, the little boy was already messing around in the study, and our highness couldn't study well with him." ”
"I know." Wang Jieyu responded irritably, "But look, is it time to talk about these things?" ”
And on this day, although the emperor did not publicize it, and Min'er did not take the initiative to tell it, the queen mother still learned about the two children finally having a round house through Mama Lin. Although Concubine Shu's illness is a troublesome matter, it will not reduce the joy of harmony and affection for the emperor and queen, she specially sent someone to tell Min'er that she didn't have to go over to accompany her today, and gave a meal to Shangyang Hall in the evening, and specially let Mama Lin go to Qingming Pavilion and ordered her son to go to Shangyang Hall for dinner.
Min'er has long been accustomed to the enthusiasm of the Queen Mother, not to mention that now she has truly become the emperor's woman, and she accepts these good intentions more naturally, when the emperor came, she had already prepared a dining table with Qingya, but she didn't want the emperor to say: "I will eat a few bites with you, I won't eat, I played with Feng'er for a while today, and I unconsciously ate a lot of pastries, and I felt uncomfortable in my stomach." ”
Qingya said on the side: "The slave will go and make a pot of hawthorn tea for you." ”
The emperor frowned: "It's too sour, don't use it." ”
Min'er motioned for Qingya to prepare, put down her chopsticks and said, "The concubine will accompany the emperor for a walk." ”
Xiang Ye said: "You are hungry, eat first, otherwise the queen mother will complain." ”
Min'er actually reached out and took a delicate bun from the plate, and smiled at the emperor: "The concubine can eat while walking." ”
The emperor looked at her blankly, he hadn't seen anyone eating while walking for many years, naturally this was not a particularly good thing, but he was sitting and eating, and a bunch of people were dangling around him and dizzy, which always made him very unappetizing, especially nostalgic for the seven years of the war, grabbing a steamed bun and tearing half a piece of bread and stuffing it into his mouth casually and satisfied.
Xiang Ye happily took Min'er's hand and took her outside, since the Shangyang Hall was built on the island, around the Shangyang Palace, you can see all the scenery of the Taiye Pool.
The emperor turned his head from time to time, and saw Min'er eating the food in her hand slowly and methodically, and only waited for her to finish eating it all before he spoke: "It's not okay next time, the queen mother is not allowed to eat in the wind, if she knows, she should complain again." ”
Min'er smiled: "It's just a trivial matter, and the queen mother doesn't care about it." ”
Xiang Ye thought for a while and said, "It's not a big deal, Min'er, I want you to ...... Don't worry about Concubine Shu either. ”
