Chapter 127: Loneliness
The emperor squinted, leaned back in his chair to rest, and didn't care who the eunuchs would serve him, except for a few eunuchs who had followed him since childhood, the other eunuchs were all dispensable, and it didn't matter who they were.
"What time is it?" I don't know how long it was, but the emperor spoke.
"Back to the emperor, it's time to apply. ”
The emperor only felt a sore body, and that feeling of powerlessness came back again, which made him irritable, unable to sit still any longer, so he simply got up and walked out.
The eunuch silently followed.
As soon as the side hall where the imperial study is located, you can see a circle of courtyards around you, because the emperor ordered that the snow here should not be cleared, the snow in the courtyard in the past few days is white, and it looks very plain.
In the rare sunlight in the afternoon, it is very beautiful to meet some of the evergreen dwarf plants in the courtyard.
Supposedly, this kind of snow scene, with trees, will have a unique view.
However, in the palace, there are only a few areas where trees can be planted, and the place where the emperor will stay is not allowed to plant trees around, and the dwarf plants must not be able to hide people.
It's for safety, but it's a little less fun.
The emperor has lived here for all these years, and no matter how good the scenery is, he has long been tired of seeing it, and at this moment looking at the snow scene, he is just in a daze, thinking about his thoughts.
"What has the Empress been doing lately?" Suddenly, the Emperor asked.
The big eunuch who followed silently was stunned for a moment before replying: "Back to the emperor, the queen mother didn't do anything except stay in the palace every day to read, or rather, she didn't do anything except occasionally read books, eat three meals a day and go to bed. ”
What he didn't say was that the queen mother was very simple even for three meals a day.
The Emperor asked this question several times a year, and each time he got the same answer.
Hearing such an answer this time, the emperor did not speak for a long time, and his expression was a little lonely.
"Your Majesty, it's cold, and you can't stay outside the palace for a long time. The eunuch waited for a while and whispered.
The Emperor nodded and turned back.
Phi Xiang Palace
"Xinping was not stopped, and went out of the palace directly?" Hearing the palace people reply, Concubine Wu couldn't help but have a little headache.
"She's a little too angry. "I already know what happened in the imperial study, and Concubine Wu also regrets this daughter's temper.
regret should not have been allowed to be pampered by the emperor in the first place, and did not discipline him harshly.
But at that time, not long after the emperor killed the prince's family, there was also blood in the court, and a group of people serving in the palace were cleared, and Concubine Wu was also afraid at that time and did not dare to go against the emperor.
And now, it's time to taste the bitter fruit.
Although Princess Xinping was honored, she offended many people, even the two kings of Shu and Qi, none of them were close to Xinping.
Concubine Wu is also distressed sometimes, if the new emperor ascends the throne one day, what will happen to her daughter?
With the support of the emperor, and without the support of the emperor, for a princess, the difference is still quite big.
But it's useless to think about these things.
She is not stupid, naturally she will not offend the reigning emperor in order to please the adult prince, be cautious, and what to do when she should do is the main reason why she has been honored and continued to live until now.
The female official on the side persuaded: "It's okay to leave the palace, the emperor is not only grounded in the princess, but also to return home early, but also to fulfill the holy will." ”
"I'm not worried about this, it's just that it's just a three-month lockdown, and it's gone in a flash, and I don't even have to wait for three months, and the emperor will definitely be extra kind during the New Year. ”
Concubine Wu sighed: "I just can't figure out why the emperor suddenly lost his temper like this." ”
This is what Concubine Wu is most worried about and puzzled.
Although the princess interfered in politics, to put it seriously, she was indeed scolded and not wronged, but in the past, did Princess Xinping ask for less things in the emperor?
Many of those things are more serious than this, and they have never been reprimanded and grounded for this.
It's just asking the emperor for help to let a student who was mistakenly included in the list of the team accompanying him to the southwest stay, which is not worth mentioning.
What's more, whether it is her or the emperor, they must be happy to see Princess Xinping divert her attention from Xuan Xuan, and the students who can make Princess Xinping pay attention to it can already be regarded as a reserve of horses.
Really speaking, this is still a good thing, how can it be worth the emperor's wrath?
didn't want to understand this matter, Concubine Wu couldn't feel at ease.
"Mama Xu is investigating Su Ziji, is there really anything wrong?" After thinking about it, Concubine Wu felt that the problem might be Su Ziji, and she asked the female officer in front of her.
The female official replied: "Back to Niangniang, Su Zi's background is innocent, from a child to a Xiucai to a lifter, all the way has been smooth, there is no problem, and the ancestors of the Su family have not been traitors and criminals for the first three generations...... Just ......"
"Just what?" Concubine Wu just glanced at.
"It's just that the person who went to investigate replied, saying that Su Ziji had already become a relative before he came to the capital!" the female official bowed her head and said.
"What? he already has a wife?" Concubine Wu really didn't know about this.
Although she is smart, she is more cautious, and her background is not bad, and the people she has cultivated over the years do not dare to touch places that should not be touched easily, so it is easy to protect herself, but in terms of intelligence, she is indeed inferior to those who are ambitious and even take risks.
"According to the information, he is only seventeen years old, and his parents are dead, where did this wife come from?"
The female official's head lowered: "Niangniang, I heard that his wife is the daughter of a bookstore owner, because the bookstore owner was killed by an adulterer, they have already had a marriage letter between them, in order to take care of the orphan girl, he went directly to the church before the funeral......"
"So, that woman hasn't passed the filial piety period yet?" Concubine Wu immediately grasped the point of this matter.
"Hui Niangniang, that's right. ”
"That's fine. "There is no cave house, just taking care of orphan girls and simply visiting the church, then it is not so bad that it is difficult to fight.
Moreover, this should not be the reason for the emperor's anger.
This kind of thing, I found out after investigating it myself, Xinping probably didn't know about it, and the emperor probably wouldn't blame Xinping for seducing a married man.
If Xinping really doesn't marry Su Zi, it is not impossible to fight for it.
But now, is Xinping really not from Su Zi not marrying? Will it be after a while, the target will be shifted again?
Concubine Wu fell into a headache again.
What's going on?
first favored a monk, and then finally had a good impression of a serious person, but the other party still has a wife, can't he smoothly like a talent who has no problems?
"That's it, let's forget this matter first, you go and tell Mama Xu that in the past three months, don't mention Su Zi's nationality in the princess's ear...... The debate is also less mentioned. ”
"Urging the princess to read more books and cultivate her self-cultivation, do you know?" Concubine Wu said, she was very worried, daughter, do you know that the grace of God is so fickle, you can't waste a little.
"Yes!"
