Chapter 56: Self-Inflicted Cleverness

"Raising a tiger is a problem, and since it is a tiger, then fatten him more."

Xuanyuan Che's words made Li Chunyue breathe a sigh of relief.

At present, the disaster victims, famine, and natural disasters in various places are not a good time to do something to the family, not to mention, the Chen family is still a century-old family.

Xuanyuan Che is not in a hurry, and wants to draw it slowly, which is a good thing.

Immediately, he arched his hand and said: "The subordinates understand, and the subordinates retire." ”

Let's go and discuss with Prime Minister Shen Cheng's old man, see what method to use to drag the Chen family, don't let the Chen family mess up because of these assassins for the time being, if you directly use the name of "hungry people uprising" to attack the imperial capital with the army, the situation will only be more chaotic.

At this time, the chief eunuch Wei Ruhai also reminded at the door: "Your Majesty, it's time to go to the Changting Hall for dinner." ”

Previously, he ordered to go to the Changting Hall tonight to pamper Concubine Leng, yes, Wei Ruhai prepared as quickly as possible, and now everything is ready, just Xuanyuan Che, Your Majesty.

Wei Ruhai is in his early twenties but very clever, he was once a little eunuch who swore to follow Xuanyuan Che, and he has stayed in the palace to guard the spirits of the emperor and others all these years.

His waiting was really not in vain, and at a young age, he sat in the position of chief steward that was the envy of countless eunuchs and palace maids.

Xuanyuan Che put down the pen and ink, and told Wei Ruhai to sort it out and send it to Prime Minister Shen, and then went to the Changting Palace.

Hearing the news that he was coming, Leng Qingxiu was unbearably excited early in the morning, and a visible smile appeared in her eyes.

Xiuzhu whispered excitedly: "Niangniang, this is a rare opportunity for us!" Your Majesty finally remembered to spoil you, if you need anything later, just tell the slave and Xiao Mozi, no matter what, the two of us will do our best to help you! ”

"It's okay, Your Majesty may just come and sit with me."

Leng Qingxiu said calmly on her face, but the excitement in her eyebrows and eyes was obvious.

In the past, she really looked down on Xuanyuan Che, but she got the people that Zhu Jiu didn't get, which made Leng Qingxiu, who had always been secretly compared with Zhu Jiu, excited.

When she heard a sound outside, "Your Majesty has arrived", she suddenly felt a little relieved in her heart.

That's it, becoming a king and defeating a villain, Zhu Jiu is a loser after all, as a woman, she can rarely leave a name in history books, even if she dies, she must have died well.

Now no one can compete with her for these fame and fortune, she just takes advantage of this hard-won opportunity tonight to win over Xuanyuan Che!

Immediately, she greeted Xuanyuan Che tenderly and understandingly, and bowed to Yingying: "The concubine sees Your Majesty, Your Majesty is busy all day, and you must be a little tired, why don't you drink the clear soup and cool off?" ”

This clear soup is a sour plum soup that has been prepared a long time ago, unique to Yan Kingdom, and she is the only one in the entire palace who can drink one.

"It's been a long time since I've tasted the taste of Yan Kingdom."

Xuanyuan Che said a word of face, but when he said this, his handsome and deep eyes did not contain a trace of a smile, even if the tone was casual, it was not daring to despise it.

Sure enough, after becoming an emperor, he is no longer the male favorite of the general's mansion, and this awe-inspiring imperial aura alone is not even comparable to Emperor Yan.

Leng Qingxiu showed a little sweet smile, invited him to sit down, served him a bowl of sour plum soup, and tentatively rubbed his shoulders, seeing that Xuanyuan Che did not refuse, he put his mind at ease, Xuanyuan Che squinted his eyes, lay on the couch, and suddenly held her hand: "Concubine Leng, do you like to be lonely?" ”

Being looked at by such a beautiful face, Leng Qingxiu's eyes moistened a little, and her face was dyed with a little red glow, but she lowered her head and said: "The concubine only hopes to do her duty and make Your Majesty happy, besides, Your Majesty is the Majesty of the world, how can anyone dislike you?" ”

"It's just that the concubine knows that her status is low...... I'm afraid I'm not qualified to say I like it to Your Majesty. ”

The euphemism of the words not only shows that she knows what her identity is and what situation she is, but also shows that she likes Xuanyuan Che, but she can say it without making any mistakes.

"You're smart."

Xuanyuan Che looked at her, as if he praised her, before he withdrew his gaze from her, and said lightly: "There will be a draft in the palace next month, and you are the only one in the harem who can handle this great responsibility, so you will handle the draft." ”

These words were like a surprise from heaven, and they hit Leng Qingxiu in an instant, and his almost uncontrollable eyes lit up, and he tried his best to restrain himself before he maintained Fang Cai's gentle and calm appearance and saluted: "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

In the face of the sudden rise to power, she can neither be too excited nor too grateful, to control a man, she needs to let the man see her high level.

Since Xuanyuan Che can rest assured that he can give her power, he must not be as disgusted with her as rumored, Leng Qingxiu's eyes flashed slightly, and said: "Your Majesty, speaking of which, since the draft day is approaching, why don't you also give Miss Tuoba some names?" She saved the life of the concubine that day, if it weren't for her, I am afraid that the concubine would have died in that assassination, and if she entered the palace, she would be able to be a companion with the concubine......"

It seems that every word is because Tuoba Ye saved her life, so she wants Tuoba Ye to enter the harem as well, and the two accompany each other, which is not lonely.

But when you dig deeper, every word seems to be planning for Xuanyuan Che.

After all, now that Tuoba Ye lives in the Changting Palace, the name is not right, and those who know outside will say that Tuoba Ye is a favored maid, and those who don't know will only say that Xuanyuan Che is mediocre and incompetent.

Like Zhu Jiu, why didn't Leng Qingxiu want the situation to settle down?

But the premise is that she has to be the one who stands on the side of interests.

If Xuanyuan Che really likes Tuoba Ye, wouldn't her move be in line with Xuanyuan Che's wishes, and she would be able to leave a virtuous reputation in his heart?

But......

Xuanyuan Che suddenly pinched her chin and forced her to raise her eyes to look at him, her dark eyes were so without warning, and she looked into Leng Qingxiu's eyes with a smile: "How can you hear that every word you say has the sound of an abacus?" ”

This look seemed to see her through in an instant, Leng Qingxiu's heart trembled, and her face maintained a look of worry for him, and said very loyally: "Your Majesty, the concubine doesn't dare to have two hearts, every word is from the bottom of her heart." ”

"Oh, I don't dare to have two hearts, if she knows each other like you......"

I don't know what I thought, Xuanyuan Che suddenly swallowed it back in the middle of his words, his eyes were removed from Leng Qingxiu, he lay back on the couch, and took a book to read: "Lone is going to rest, Concubine Leng can eat by herself." ”

As for the sour plum soup she served him, it was useless.

Leng Qingxiu didn't dare to disturb him, so she had to obediently obey his orders, playing the role of a virtuous, and didn't dare to step forward to urge him to go to bed and sleep together, yes, Xuanyuan Che didn't sleep, and she didn't dare to sleep, so the two stayed up all night, and Leng Qingxiu finally couldn't stay up before she fell asleep.

When she woke up, how could there be any trace of His Majesty on the couch? Clearly gone!

Fortunately, Wei Ruhai was waiting outside, and after handing over the token and seal of the assistant sixth palace, Leng Qingxiu was in a better mood, and asked again: "Your Majesty, but you are going to the court again?" ”

Wei Ruhai smiled without changing his face: "Where do you dare to inquire about Your Majesty's whereabouts?" Please forgive me. ”

is clearly the person who needs to be left and right the most, but he doesn't like what he says.
