Chapter 23: Deliberate Exaltation
"The slave has seen Your Majesty."
"The concubine has seen Your Majesty."
The three women walked out of it in order, and then bowed down to the emperor, the emperor was the first time to see the queen dressed so brightly, he couldn't help but wonder a little more, and said with a chuckle.
"Why is the queen so estranged from me, doesn't she hold a grudge against me?"
As he spoke, the emperor glanced back and motioned to the chief steward beside him to step forward and help the queen up.
The personal eunuch next to the emperor, Gonggong Li immediately stepped forward to help the queen up, with a smile in his eyes, full of joy and said.
"Niangniang, this is in a good mood these days, and the clothes are also a lot brighter, not to mention the emperor, even the slaves look good."
When the emperor heard this, he immediately smiled and nodded, and said with relief in his tone.
"That's right, I haven't noticed this just now, I didn't think that the queen is not good at dressing up on weekdays, but now when she dresses up, she is gorgeous, so it can be seen that she can't be too light."
When the queen heard this, she laughed, but her smile was too shallow, and she didn't mean to be close, but it made the emperor feel a little uncomfortable.
"The concubine is also old and decrepit, at this age, she can't be as delicate as the concubine's sister's dressing up, but she rarely dresses up on weekdays, which makes Your Majesty feel a little fresh."
Hearing this, the smile on the emperor's face froze, as if he felt that the queen was making trouble with him, did he feel that he didn't care enough about her on weekdays? The emperor's face was not good-looking, and he didn't seem to be very satisfied.
Seeing this scene, Dong Xiangjun immediately knelt on the ground and said very respectfully.
"The slave and maid thank the Dong family, thanks to Your Majesty's kindness, and was able to enter the palace to visit your aunt, and I am grateful to Your Majesty, please accept the slave and maid."
Seeing that this nephew and daughter-in-law were so sensible and did not have the bad temper of the Xie family at all, the emperor was a little satisfied, smiled and nodded, which can be called a kind statement.
"You are Zhou'er's daughter-in-law? Not bad, good, look at it, it's smart, it's a sensible look, and he takes care of him, after all, it's me on the last three yuan and the first, although I'm sick now, but that's not a fraud. ”
Dong Xiangjun smiled and nodded, and was very happy to mention it to the emperor.
"The husband often said with the concubine at home, to have today's light, all depends on His Majesty's usual upbringing, if it is not for the poor health, I will definitely thank Your Majesty, and now I pray day and night at home, I hope that Your Majesty is healthy and the country is forever."
The emperor's favorite thing to hear is such words, and he immediately laughed and said with great satisfaction.
"I thought that the Xie family was not sophisticated, I never thought that there would be a good daughter-in-law like you, who would teach her husband and children at home, if that kid bullied you in the future, you just have to come to sue me, and I will administer justice to you."
When the queen heard this, she smiled slightly, and said with a smile.
"What did Your Majesty say about this? Isn't it clear about our nephew? That child is naturally mostly raised by you, that is a beautiful son, how have you ever quarreled with a woman? You're worrying too much. ”
The queen's simple words instantly reminded the emperor of the fact that he had taken this child many years ago.
At that time, this little nephew was still young, and he was famous as a genius, he was famous in the entire capital, he was very sensible, he was more than close to himself, and he was not afraid enough, but who would have thought that he would become like this now?
With a little regret in his eyes, the emperor was surprised by the queen's closeness to him, I don't know when the two changed from husband and wife to this strange look, and even talked a lot, as if they had become enemies.
The emperor sighed, turned to the queen and said, "Why don't you remember?" At that time, our husband and wife, Qin Se and Ming, and the children were also sensible, I don't know when? The queen and I are so estranged, and now that I think about it, I regret that it is tight. ”
The emperor seemed to arouse a trace of affection for the queen in his heart, and said with a hint of comfort in his tone.
"You just have to rest here, in time, I will be able to let you out, and you won't be here all the time."
The queen nodded meekly, and said with a tone full of closeness.
"Your Majesty is the only hope for your concubines, if your concubines don't trust Your Majesty, which one can you trust? After leaving, the concubines will definitely regain their strength and supervise the harem for Your Majesty, and want more sisters to spread the branches for Your Majesty, and also make our royal population more prosperous, Your Majesty just look at the sincerity of the concubines. ”
The emperor just smiled awkwardly, and just as the emperor wanted to say something more, a woman's coquettish voice came over, and he said softly.
"Your Majesty, what are you hiding? The concubine still wants you to go and see our children, the emperor has been praised again in the upper study, and is waiting for his father to praise him, but you actually came to such a deserted place, and asked the concubine to go back, how can you talk to the child? ”
The smile on the emperor's face subsided a lot, his complexion became a little flater, and he turned his head to look at the concubine with a faint tiredness, and his voice was cold.
"As the king of a country, where do I go on weekdays? I still have to report to you, I don't know, when will the concubine be in charge of the world? ”
was stabbed by the emperor's words, and the concubine immediately knelt on the ground and apologized softly.
"Please also ask Your Majesty for forgiveness, the concubine body is definitely not the meaning, the concubine body just feels that this place is really cold and tight, and the yang energy is insufficient, don't let Your Majesty get caught in the cold, even if the concubine body has great courage, she does not dare to be the master of the house for the emperor."
The concubine sincerely apologized, but the emperor had a preconceived idea at the moment, no matter what the concubine said, she was no longer willing to give this face, and said with a cold face.
"What else would you not dare? I see that this harem is about to become your hall, if you have nothing to do, go back and read more books, don't be embarrassed outside, my harem is not short of vase beauties. ”
was reprimanded by the emperor as a vase beauty, or in front of the queen who read poetry and books, the concubine's face was not very good-looking.
It's just that after all, thinking that this is the emperor's order, he can only nod his head again and again and agree, and then he retreats in embarrassment.
The emperor seemed to be disturbed by the arrival of the concubine, and his face became much calmer, and he glanced at the queen, and then whispered.
"The cold palace is bitterly cold, be careful about your own body, in case you break your body and get a lesion in the future, but no one can replace it, if you want to prove innocent, you have to wait until you can hold on to that day, don't boil yourself down, I believe in you, and if I have evidence in the future, I will definitely save you as soon as possible."
