Chapter 925 - Extremely strong desire to control
The emperor looked at Li Heng and said, "How is the emperor's homework recently?" Have you listened to Taifu's words? The eleven or twelve-year-old boy in front of him was very happy to hear his father's question.
"Heng'er has always listened to the words of the Taifu, and will also listen to the words of his father and mother, study hard, and share his father's worries when he grows up in the future." The young Li Heng said such a thing, which really surprised Guo Nianyun and the emperor unspeakably.
"My Heng'er has really grown up, and he knows that he is worried about his father." The emperor said with a smile, seeing the satisfied expression on the emperor's face, Guo Nianyun's heart was very happy.
"Father, you are really eccentric, you don't care about Ning'er at all." As soon as these words came out, Guo Nianyun didn't know what to do, she was afraid that the emperor would be angry.
"Ning'er, how can you be so nonsense in front of your father." Guo Nianyun said sharply to Ning Er, and Ning Er on the side was so frightened that she cried.
"Qianning, how could my father ignore you, when your mother gave birth to you, your name was obtained by your father, do you know why your father named you Qianning?" The emperor looked at Qian Ning and said with a smile.
"Ning'er doesn't know, please ask my father to make it clear." Princess Qianning looked at the current emperor with a pair of big eyes, looking at her father, excitedly waiting for her father to tell her about the origin of her name.
"At that time, when you were just born, my father hoped that you could collect thousands of favors in this life, so that all the love in this world could be condensed around you, so that my little princess could be happy in this life." When the emperor said this, it seemed that time had gone back to the past.
At that time, he was still the king of Guangling County, and the mother of the eldest prince and the second prince had not yet died, so everything was still as good as before. But for the sake of this supreme power, everything cannot be returned, and it will never be returned.
"Today Ning Er only knew that her name was so meaningful, it turned out that her father was so good to Ning Er, Queen Mother, don't you say it quickly?" Princess Qianning said as she pulled Guo Nianyun's arm.
Seeing the emperor's thoughtful appearance, Guo Nianyun said with a smile: "Your father loves Ning'er the most, and the queen mother also loves Ning'er the most like your father." ”
The imperial dining room has begun to pass food in the Qingning Palace one after another, and the emperor looks at Princess Qianning dotingly, and from time to time he puts food in her bowl.
Guo Nianyun was very relieved to see the emperor like this, but when she thought that in a few years, the princess would marry when she grew up, her heart was full of reluctance, and she was very sad for a while.
Guo Nianyun put some more dishes in the bowl of the third prince Li Heng, and then said softly: "Heng'er, when you are growing your body, you should eat more, so that you can grow strong and strong, and protect your sister in the future." ”
After dinner, Li Heng accompanied the emperor to play Go, although he had just learned, but he also played very well, and the emperor was very satisfied when he saw that the three princes were so smart.
It was Princess Qianning, who had to let Guo Nianyun recite poems with her, she said: "Queen Mother, is it okay for you to accompany Ning'er to recite poems, or can you listen to Ning'er recite poems to you?" ”
Seeing Ning Er's serious recitation of poems, Guo Nianyun smiled happily, and she whispered: "It's not early, let the queen mother take you to rest." ”
"Queen Mother, it's rare for Ning'er to come to your palace, so you can accompany Ning'er for a while, okay?" Princess Qianning said coquettishly to Guo Nianyun, every time she comes to the queen mother's palace, as long as she is coquettish, the queen mother will definitely agree, thinking of these Ning Er smiled sweetly.
The emperor taught the third prince Li Heng to play Go for a long time, and then he felt a little tired, so he got up and said to Guo Nianyun: "Let the palace people take Heng'er and Ning'er to sleep." ”
Lu Luo and Wang Gonggong, who served in the Qingning Palace, hurriedly took Qian Ning and Li Heng to the dormitory. For a while, only Guo Nianyun and the emperor were left in the Qingning Palace.
"Yun'er, it's not too early, I'll accompany you back to the dormitory to rest." The emperor took the initiative to say, seeing Li Heng and Qianning today made the emperor feel very deeply.
On weekdays, he always lingers back and forth with the concubines in the harem, and he really snubbed Guo Nianyun in Qingning Palace, but as an emperor, he is not simply helpless.
When a man stands at the highest level of power, he will be extremely inflated, from the king of Guangling County to the current son of heaven, the experience is helpless and indescribable.
With power, you can satisfy any of your selfish desires and hobbies, and what you couldn't think of and can't do before, now you have become easy to do because you are an emperor above ten thousand people under one person.
The emperor hugged Guo Nianyun into the dormitory, both of them took off their clothes and changed into the civilian clothes they wore when they slept, and Guo Nianyun would sit in front of the bronze mirror and comb her long hair every time before going to bed.
The emperor walked over slowly, took the cloud comb in her hand, and then helped her comb her hair behind Guo Nianyun, feeling the emperor's warmth at the moment, Guo Nianyun shed tears of happiness.
"It's not early, hurry up and go to bed to rest, I will go to court early tomorrow." The emperor said softly, Guo Nianyun got up and walked towards the bed with the emperor.
With the emperor's company, Guo Nianyun had a good night's sleep, and her complexion became much better, and when she woke up in the morning, she asked Lu Luo to help her make up, and changed into the clothes that the emperor liked her to wear the most on weekdays.
Gonggong Chen, who was waiting in front of the emperor, had been waiting in the main hall of Qingning Palace for a long time, and it seemed that it was almost the time of the Yu Dynasty, but the emperor had not yet come out.
The prince who was waiting in Qingning Palace saw him so anxious and comforted him and said: "Father-in-law Chen, don't worry, the noble concubine has always been virtuous and virtuous in this harem, and she will definitely not let the emperor miss the time of the early dynasty." Hearing Wang Gonggong say this, Chen Hongzhi's heart was a little settled.
This night, the emperor slept very soundly in the Qingning Palace, and when he opened his eyes early in the morning, he found that Guo Nianyun beside him had already disappeared. As soon as he sat up, Guo Nianyun appeared at the door of the dormitory.
"Your Majesty, you are awake and let the concubines wait for you to change your clothes." After Guo Nianyun finished speaking, he opened the dragon robe for the emperor in an orderly manner, and Guo Nianyun finally dressed the emperor.
Seeing that the emperor in front of him in the dragon robe was so magnificent, Guo Nianyun's eyes were full of smiles, and the man in front of her was not only her man in her eyes, but also the emperor of the ninety-five in the world.
Gonggong Chen accompanied the emperor out of Qingning Palace, and behind him, Guo Nianyun knelt on the ground and saluted: "The concubine sends the emperor off." After sending off the emperor, Li Heng and Qianning, Guo Nianyun returned to the palace.
Sitting in the main hall, Guo Nianyun was preoccupied, many times her mood was contradictory, sometimes she hoped that the emperor could always pamper her in this harem.
Whenever the emperor favored other concubines in the harem, Guo Nianyun would feel unspeakable heartache, but he was born in this emperor's family, knowing that such a thing would not happen, but Guo Nianyun was still full of extravagant hopes.
"Lu Luo, what about the prince, let him come to see me immediately." Guo Nianyun said to the maidservant Lu Luo, about what happened in the Zichen Hall yesterday afternoon, Guo Nianyun must listen to the prince and make it clear.
Originally, I wanted the prince to say it yesterday evening, but I didn't expect Li Heng and Qianning to come, and then the emperor also came, so I didn't ask the prince about it.
Now that I have calmed down, I realized that I asked the prince to inquire about the emperor's whereabouts yesterday, and the prince has not even thought to come back and talk back since he came back.
"Guifei Niangniang, are you looking for a minion?" The prince said to Guo Nianyun, who was sitting in the middle of the hall. Hearing Wang Gonggong ask so knowingly, Guo Nianyun was very angry.
Guo Nianyun thought in his heart, this prince has been serving in Qingning Palace, and he is usually quite clever and a loyal servant. I can't be angry at the moment, so let's ask for the news first.
"Yesterday, I asked you to find out the whereabouts of the emperor, but what else happened after the emperor went to Zichen Palace?" Guo Nianyun's eyes looked at the prince in front of him suspiciously, and asked sharply.
"Back to Niangniang, yesterday afternoon, Concubine Hua Niangniang in the Ice Hall went to the Zichen Hall with the palace maid Hanxiang." Wang Gonggong said truthfully, and as soon as he looked up and saw Guo Nianyun's eyes, he quickly lowered his head again.
"Concubine Hua is sick, and the emperor has guarded her all night, how can she go to Zichen Palace? Yesterday morning, all the concubines came, but Concubine Hua didn't come to Qingning Palace. Guo Nianyun said suspiciously.
"Niangniang, the slave never dared to deceive you, the slave saw it clearly yesterday afternoon, Concubine Hua Niangniang did enter the Zichen Hall alone." The prince said in fear.
Guo Nianyun looked at the prince for another moment, and then said lightly: "Okay, it's none of your business, you can go down." But he was very unhappy in his heart.
"The minions are gone." As soon as the prince finished speaking, he hurriedly left the hall, thinking of Guo Nianyun's eyes along the way, he was still a little scared at the moment.
Although Guo Nianyun is now the highest-ranking concubine in the harem, there is a higher rank above her, that is the imperial concubine, and then the queen.
The emperor has no queen in this harem, and there is no imperial concubine, of course, Guo Nianyun's position is the highest, but once a woman has power, she will have a strong desire to control.
What's more, a woman's emotional world is relatively delicate, and some small subtle changes can hardly escape a woman's eyes and her terrible intuition.
Obviously, in Guo Nianyun's heart, she loves the emperor deeply and gives birth to children for the emperor, but the only thing that Guo Nianyun can't tolerate is that the emperor favors other women.
If a night of favor can make Guo Nianyun feel heartache, then the favor of the emperor Yue'er in the harem has already exceeded Guo Nianyun's expected level of patience.
Guo Nianyun, who has power, in the name of love, tries to make the concubines in the harem able to disperse the emperor's favor, instead of letting the emperor favor Yue'er alone.
After thinking about it for a long time, Guo Nianyun closed her eyes in pain, letting tears slide down her cheeks, she gave birth to children for the emperor, and worked so hard to take care of the harem, and now in the emperor's heart, she is not as favored by the emperor as Yue'er.
Such a gap made Guo Nianyun's heart very sad. If it weren't for Yue'er, the emperor wouldn't have treated her like this now, it seems that it would be time for the new concubines in the harem to distract the emperor's attention.
And at present, the woman who can please the emperor the most and can make the emperor like is probably only Du Nishang in Penglai Palace, if the concubines come to Qingning Palace this morning, they must leave Du Nishang and have a good chat with her.
"Niangniang, Du Zhaoyi and Ji Meiren are here, they came really early this morning." Lu Luo said with a smile, and Guo Nianyun, who was dazed, only broke free from his thoughts when he heard Lu Luo's words.
"That's great, let them in." Guo Nianyun said to Lu Luo, it seems that she really wants something, at this moment she was thinking about Du Nishang, but she didn't expect Du Nishang to appear in Qingning Palace.
"Zhaoyi Du Nishang has seen the concubine Niangniang."
"The beauty Ji Hanyan has seen the concubine Niangniang."
"The two of you came really early today, the emperor just left not long ago, and it is estimated that you are going to the morning court at this time." Guo Nianyun said with a smile, his eyes not forgetting to observe the expressions on the faces of the two.
As soon as Du Nishang heard Guo Nianyun say this, she said with a smile: "Congratulations to the concubine, the emperor was in the palace last night." Ni Shang is really happy for her mother. ”
