The Emperor patted her on the back and said, "Don't worry, I have strengthened the guards to protect you, and there will be no more assassins." By the way, how is Duchess Lu Guo's illness? ”

Rong Niang replied: "She just didn't have enough qi and blood to faint, and after drinking the medicine, it would be fine, and the concubine had sent someone to send her back." ”

The Emperor nodded, "That's good." This time, thanks to you for taking care of her, otherwise Lu Jiuyuan would not have been able to explain to him when he came back. ”

Rong Niang smiled a little reluctantly, "The emperor treats Lu Guogong really well." ”

"Isn't that how it should be? He guards the frontier for me, and I should take care of his family a little more, so that he can defend himself against the enemy without worries. The Emperor said as a matter of course.

"But, isn't the emperor worried?" Rong Niang said lightly.

"Worried about what?" The Emperor frowned.

Rong Niang glanced at him, sighed and said, "The concubine knows that the emperor values Lu Guogong, but there are some words, I don't know whether to say it or not?" ”

When the emperor heard this, he said helplessly: "Rong Niang, you are no one else, if you have anything to say, just say it, is it difficult, I can still be angry with you?" ”

Rong Niang turned her back and said in a quiet tone: "The concubine is not afraid that you will be angry, but she is afraid that you will blame me." After all, in the emperor's heart, the concubines are not as good as Lu Guogong. ”

The emperor smiled and broke her shoulders, "Why are you still jealous?" ”

Rong Niang tilted her head and did not speak.

Seeing this, the emperor said: "In my heart, no one can compare to your mother and son. ”

When Rong Niang heard this, a smile appeared on her face, and she snuggled into his arms and said, "It is enough to have the emperor's words, but the emperor has to remember what he said." ”

Looking at the smile on her face, the emperor's eyes were a little obsessed.

After so many years, Rong Niang is still so beautiful.

Seeing him looking at herself obsessively, Rong Niang lowered her head shyly, but she was quite complacent in her heart.

There is no man who is not lustful.

Even the emperor who is the supreme emperor of the Ninth Five-Year Plan is no exception.

Otherwise, when they first met, he wouldn't have seen her once, so he impatiently placed her in another courtyard.

But this man, most of the time, is very rational and calm.

Although he was impressed by her beauty, at first, he only took her to the other courtyard and did not touch her.

It wasn't until it was determined that she was of a simple origin that she frequently appeared in the other courtyard.

"By the way, what do you want to say?" The emperor gathered his mind and asked curiously.

"The emperor said that he would not cure the crimes of the concubines, so the concubines said." Rong Niang said with scruples.

"I won't cure your sins, it's okay for you to say it." The Emperor made a promise.

Rong Niang said: "The concubine said this, just to give the emperor a wake-up call, and she didn't mean anything else." ”

"Well, you say." The Emperor had always been patient with her.

Rong Niang paused and continued: "In the past, when the concubines were outside the palace, they often heard the people talk about Lu Guogong.

said how brave he was, he was a big hero, because of him, everyone could live and work in peace and contentment, if Dayan didn't have him, he would have fallen apart a long time ago.

However, for Dayan, the one who worked hard for the people was obviously the emperor. Why do the people only know Lu Jiuyuan, but they don't know the emperor?

At that time, when the concubine heard this, she felt very uncomfortable and was very upset for the emperor. ”

The emperor listened quietly, without fluctuation, and comforted her in turn, "Don't think about it, Lu Jiuyuan has indeed made a lot of contributions to Dayan.

A few years ago, the Khitan frequently invaded the border, and it was Lu Jiuyuan who shocked them, and the border was able to be peaceful for so many years, so that I could free up my hands and clean up those big vassal kings, and the people could remember Lu Jiuyuan, which should also be. ”

Seeing that he was unmoved, Rong Niang frowned imperceptibly, and said with a forced smile: "But the emperor, the merit is high, Lu Jiuyuan has some merits, so the people are so supportive, if he is allowed to make another contribution this time, when the time comes, won't the people want to offer Lu Jiuyuan up?" At that time, in the hearts of the people, I am afraid they will forget that Dayan still has an emperor. ”

After the emperor was silent for a moment, he sighed and said nonchalantly, "What can I do then?" For so many years, only Lu Jiuyuan has fought against the Khitan, and only he can resist the strong enemy of the Khitan, and the others are not suitable. ”

"There are so many generals in the Manchu Dynasty, why don't there be any suitable ones? The emperor didn't give them a chance, how do they know they can't? Rong Niang also sighed, "The concubines always feel that the emperor's hopes are pinned on Lu Jiuyuan alone, not only are they biased towards other generals, but if anything happens in the future, the emperor has no one else available, won't the situation be very passive?" ”

The emperor was stunned for a moment, suddenly glanced at her lightly, and reminded: "Rong Niang, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, do you know?" ”

Rong Niang's face changed slightly, and she knelt down in front of him, "The emperor is angry, it's the concubine who has said too much." ”

The emperor looked at her with lowered eyes and did not speak for a long time.

Rong Niang was uneasy in her heart, and deliberately said in a very aggrieved voice: "The emperor said that he would not cure the crimes of the concubines, and the concubines said ......."

When the emperor heard this, he sighed and pulled her up.

"I don't want to punish you, it's just that you are a woman, and you really shouldn't be involved in political affairs."

"The concubine knows that she is wrong, and she will never say anything more in the future." Rong Niang said with a hanging face.

The Emperor patted her hand and said nothing.

Rong Niang looked at his face and snuggled up to him, "It's not too early, the concubine asked people to arrange dinner, and the emperor will accompany the concubine and Heng'er to eat together, right?" ”

The emperor glanced at her and shook his head, "Not today, I still have a fold to review, so I won't leave it, let's talk about it tomorrow." ”

Rong Niang's face froze, and she forced a smile: "The concubine will send it to the emperor." ”

"No need." After the emperor finished speaking, he got up and strode away.

Rong Niang slumped in her chair.

She upset the emperor......

But after thinking about it, the words she said didn't leave a pimple in the emperor's heart.

As long as there is a pimple, the emperor's trust in Lu Jiuyuan will definitely be sharply reduced.

When the time comes, she will just find an opportunity to light another fire.

Perhaps, the Emperor will simply take back the talisman.

Without the talisman, what is Lu Jiuyuan afraid of?

Tao Yao refuses to be close to her, so what? They have no value to use.

"Mother, Daddy is gone, he ignores Heng'er."

At this time, Heng'er trotted in, her tone full of grievances.

Rong Niang came back to her senses and took him into her arms.

"Your dad has something important to deal with, and we'll go to him tomorrow." She patted her son's back and whispered softly.

Heng'er's little face was depressed and unhappy.

"Mother, I want to go out of the palace to play with my sister and Brother Xiaohao."

When Rong Niang heard this, she said irritably: "You are the prince, you can't leave the palace at will." ”

"But I haven't been out of the palace for a long time." Heng'er flattened her mouth, "The palace is worse than the other courtyard." ”

Rong Niang's face softened, and she said bitterly: "Heng'er, you are a boy, you can't just think about playing, you have to read more books, study more, and be able to be independent in the future." ”

"I don't want to read, I don't want to study." Heng'er's little face wrinkled.

When Rong Niang heard this, she pushed him away and said sharply: "If you don't read or study, you will only be a waste in the future, and no matter how much my mother does, it will be in vain." ”
