Chapter 449, Expected
The Emperor half-squinted his eyes and looked at the dazzling star from afar.
The spring night was slightly cold, and the night was as cold as water, and he wrapped his robe tighter.
Recently, there have been a lot of trivial matters in the DPRK and China, and he not only has to deal with them one by one, but also has to worry about the affairs of Lichu.
These overwhelmed him a little, and he sighed, is it old and old......
At this time, Gong Jingchen walked over, he was wearing a dark color narrow-sleeved python robe, the cuffs were inlaid with embroidered gold thread auspicious clouds, the scarlet and white jade belt around his waist, and the white jade exquisite waist was hung on it, his temperament was elegant, and his bearing was compelling, he was indeed a little different from before, maybe he had grown up.
Gong Jingchen watched behind his father for a long time, with a faint sadness in his heart, his father was indeed too tired.
When he was a child, his father was his hero, and he always felt that his father was invulnerable, and he was always the most powerful person in the world. Now that he has grown up, he actually wants to protect that big hero.
The moonlight outlined his eyebrows, and it was a little cold.
He slowly walked up to the emperor and saluted the emperor with a smile: "Erchen greets my father." ”
The emperor turned back in surprise: "Jingchen, why are you here?" ”
"I want to see my father, my son has finally recovered from a serious illness, and I think about my father very much." Gong Jingchen had stars in his eyes, and as he spoke, he couldn't help but look at the white hair on the emperor's face, a little confused.
"Although you have always said this before, but the tone of your voice this time is different from the past, it seems that my emperor has really grown up." The emperor paced around him in a layer of moonlight, with relief on his face and a little sigh.
"Father said with a smile, Erchen has already grown up, besides, Erchen is now the father of a three-year-old child." Gong Jingchenlang laughed and took a walk with the emperor on the stargazing platform.
Time seems to go back to when he was a child, when his father always held his hand and played on the stargazing platform. He's just like Maruko, curious about everything. My father would be very patient to tell him all kinds of stars and all kinds of stories.
"You will never grow up in the eyes of your father, my father always thought you were stubborn before, but I didn't expect you to grow up and still not stop." The emperor glanced at the moonlight on the horizon and sighed as he spoke.
"Father, it's the sons and daughters who are not sensible." Although Gong Jingchen had a smile in his eyes, he was a little ashamed in his heart.
"Jingchen, you have been smart since you were a child, but why didn't you do your job later. You tell the truth to your father, are you hiding something from your father? The Emperor's gaze suddenly looked directly at him, as if he could see what was in his heart.
Although he felt that this son was not doing his job, he also felt that he could not see through this son.
"Father, the son doesn't want to hide it from you. Today, the ministers came to invite troops to calm the border war. Gong Jingchen was a little weak-hearted, he knew that his father could ask like this, and he must have found something.
He led the troops out this time but a dangling, what he wanted was to lure the snake out of the hole. Gong Zixuan can't wait now, if he doesn't guess wrong, Gong Zixuan will force the position during this time. He was undaunted by this battle.
I'm just worried about the emperor, I'm worried about Concubine Qing, I'm worried about Ah Liang, I'm worried about Hua'er......
"If you want to go, you can go, now it's time for you to make contributions to the country, and your father supports you." The emperor did not continue to ask, and he suddenly understood something.
"Erchen, thank you, father." Gong Jingchen leaned over and thanked him, but his eyes were quite deep.
"You go down first, my father is tired." The Emperor waved his hand and gently rubbed his temples.
Gong Jingchen slowly retreated, looked back at the emperor again: "Father, remember to pay attention to your body." ”
The emperor smiled at him and nodded, and after Gong Jingchen left, he gently rubbed the jade wrench in his hand and let out a long sigh.
Finally, he smiled wryly and looked at the moonlight in the sky.
Jingchen, Jingchen, you are my own son, do you really think that I have been deceived by you for so many years? I know everything, and not saying it doesn't mean I don't know.
The emperor knew that his son was pretending to be stupid, and Jingchen had pretended to be an idle prince for so many years, but he just wanted to maintain the status quo and be a prince, that's all.
Four years of prospects, he suddenly pretended to be stupid, and he was afraid that he had a plan.
He should be relieved, at least Jingchen is much smarter than he thought.
His sons are all talented, in this world, whoever can take it can take it, all he needs is to wait and see what happens.
When you're older, it's better to worry less.
Thinking about it this way, the emperor was relieved.
The emperor had a smile between his eyebrows, maybe he was in a good mood, and the scenery on the road was also beautiful. The gold bricks and jade tiles, the gold lacquer painting of the Rui beast is also majestic, and the golden dragon seems to be soaring into the sky.
The majestic palace is very quiet at this moment, and the flowers fall to the ground, which is naturally fragrant.
As he walked, he came to Gyeongin Palace.
The lights of Gyeongin Palace were still on, and a few laughs came from inside from time to time. But the voice was small, clear and shallow.
The Emperor walked in with his hands in his hands.
After entering, the gorgeous hall was warm, and Concubine Qing was sitting next to the screen carved with peonies. The long skirt dragged the floor, and there was an indescribable style between the eyebrows.
She was sitting at the table at this time, carefully arranging the jade plate.
"What is Concubine Ai doing?" The emperor gently folded his sleeves and walked over and asked curiously.
Concubine Qing didn't salute when she saw him coming, she has always maintained this style, and she was called a demon concubine by the world before. But so what, she didn't bring disaster to the country and the people.
When she saw the emperor coming, she said with a smile: "The concubine is going to invite the queen's sister to sit here today, and she made a few dishes by herself." But I never thought that the emperor was also here. ”
"When did Concubine Ai learn to cook?" Hearing this, the emperor was even more curious.
"I learned it from Ye Yatou." Concubine Qing asked with a smile.
"No wonder I think Jingchen has grown up, in fact, I also have half of the credit of Ye Yatou, because Jingchen has learned to protect his wife and children." The Emperor carefully sorted out his thoughts, and then laughed.
"Jingchen, he has grown up a lot, but it is not as exaggerated as the emperor said." Hearing the emperor's words, Concubine Qing didn't believe it.
"After some time, Concubine Ai will naturally understand." The emperor pretended to be mysterious at this time.
Concubine Qing ignored him and began to wonder if the dishes she made were not suitable for the queen's appetite.
At this time, the queen had opened the bead curtain and walked in, she first saluted generously, and then said: "The concubine sees the emperor." ”
"What kind of ritual do we have at this time, we gather like ordinary people." The emperor smiled and helped the empress up, and when he shook her slender wrist, he twisted his eyebrows, a little distressed.
The queen is still down-to-earth and generous, and she doesn't like it or worry about it. But that demure and elegant face was a little haggard, and because the wrist was too slender, the jade bracelet on it seemed to fall off at any time.
Since the death of the crown prince, the queen, who has always been dignified and decent, has lost her spirit, and she can't eat, and no small illness has also invaded, and the queen seems to prefer to be quieter than ever.
