Yuqiongyin
Chapter 416 Changes (25
Xie Chenning didn't say anything, and Wei Ming wasn't in a hurry either.
Wei Ming stood there quietly, his eyes falling on the lotus flowers in the pond. The pink and white flowers looked even more beautiful against the green leaves.
His figure was as straight as a pine tree, as if blending into the surrounding scenery.
A breeze blew by, lifting a few strands of Wei Ming's hair, adding a sense of elegance and transcendence.
Instead, no one cares.
After a while, Xie Chenning raised his head slightly, shifted his gaze away from the lotus flowers blooming in the pond, and said slowly:
"Although this scenery is beautiful, it is inevitable that you will feel tired after looking at it for a long time. In a little while, I will go back to my room to have a good rest. As for you, Your Majesty... it is better for you to return to the palace and rest early."
After saying this, she pursed her red lips, smiled slightly, and glanced vaguely at the emperor beside her.
Eunuch Chen, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but look shocked when he heard this.
He thought to himself: This queen is so bold now! How dare she push the emperor away so bluntly! You know, if it were other concubines, even if they had ten times the courage, they would never dare to act like this.
At this time, Wei Ming shamelessly pretended not to understand the deep meaning of Xie Chenning's words, and instead asked with concern: "How is the queen's health these days? Is there anything wrong?"
Xie Chenning slowly stretched out her slender hands and casually plucked the strings in front of her, producing a clear and pleasant sound.
She exuded a sense of laziness, and she slowly responded with her red lips slightly parted: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am fine and nothing is wrong."
Wei Ming, who was standing aside, frowned slightly when he heard this, thinking secretly in his heart.
You know, since the last incident, he hasn't heard Xie Chenning call herself a concubine for a long time.
The woman who used to be so respectful and polite to me, started to use "I" when talking to me.
This seemingly simple change of title caused ripples in Wei Ming's heart.
What exactly caused this change?
Is she dissatisfied with herself, or is there something else going on?
For a moment, Wei Ming's thoughts were tangled like a tangled mess, difficult to sort out.
The Queen is now becoming increasingly elusive and unpredictable.
Wei Ming frowned slightly when he saw her like this, but he still tried his best to maintain the demeanor that a king should have, "Then Queen, please have a good rest. I will come to see you another day."
After saying that, he turned around and walked hurriedly towards the door.
"Congratulations to the emperor."
Xie Chenning responded softly, his voice was as calm as water, without any emotion in it.
Eunuch Chen, who was following beside him, turned around quietly, wanting to see how the Queen would react at this moment.
However, what surprised him was that the queen did not move at all and continued to sit there quietly, as if everything that had just happened had nothing to do with her.
This look simply shows that he doesn't take the emperor seriously at all! Eunuch Chen thought to himself, and at the same time quickened his pace to catch up with the emperor who had already walked away.

Xie Chenning looked in the direction where Wei Ming left, and a hint of imperceptible indifference and disdain flashed across his beautiful peach blossom eyes.
The breeze gently blew through her hair, but failed to blow away the complicated emotions in her heart.
At this moment, Wei Ke's voice came from behind her: "Look at his hurried look, he is obviously anxious."
Xie Chenning nodded slightly to show her agreement. She opened her red lips and said slowly:
"Yes, my father has sent a message saying that he will be back in the near future. We have made such a great contribution this time, and this reward must not be reduced to the share that father deserves, and he must return the title of Duke of Zhenguo to my father."
The Xie family has been in the military for generations and has long guarded this important area on the western border, making many outstanding achievements.
During the reign of the previous emperor, Xie Feisi of the Xie family once led the army to carry out military missions, especially in the battle of the western frontier, and won victory. He returned victorious every time he went out to fight.
Among them, the fierce battle in the west was the most eye-catching. The battle was extremely brutal and the enemy attacked like a surging tide, but Xie Feisi was calm and fearless in command. He led his soldiers in a bloody battle and successfully defeated the enemy.
Because of this brilliant victory, Xie Feisi should have been conferred the title of Duke of Zhenguo and enjoyed supreme honor and grace.
However, at this critical moment, the late emperor suddenly fell seriously ill and was bedridden, unable to handle state affairs. The entire court suddenly fell into chaos and the situation became unstable.
The third prince Wei Ming, who had originally received the imperial edict of succession, was not able to ascend the throne smoothly, and the issue of succession to the throne came to a deadlock.
For Xie Chenning, Xie Feisi stepped forward. In order to support Xie Chenning and help Wei Ming ascend the throne, he relied on the military power in his hands, overcame all objections, and finally succeeded in letting Wei Ming sit on the throne.
It is no exaggeration to say that without Xie Feisi's full support, Wei Ming would never have been able to reach that position.
Unexpectedly, Wei Ming was so ungrateful that not only did he fail to fulfill his promise to grant Xie Feisi the title of Duke of Zhenguo, he also forgot about this promise.
Not only that, he was also suspicious of Xie Feisi and was on guard against him at all times, fearing that this meritorious official would threaten his throne.
Xie Feisi didn't take Wei Ming's actions to heart. After quietly arranging everything for his daughter Xie Chenning, he returned to the western border to continue guarding the area.
Wei Ming's throne was supported by the Xie family, but he was so cruel and ruthless, playing out a real-life story of the farmer and the snake.
Fortunately, Xie Feisi still has the power of 200,000 soldiers, otherwise the Xie Mansion might have been gone long ago.
The sound of the piano beside his ears brought Xie Chenning back to his senses.
She looked back and saw Wei Ke, wearing a plain robe, sitting in front of the piano.
He lowered his head slightly, his facial lines appeared particularly soft in the moonlight, his eyes were half closed, and his expression was focused.
The slender fingers gently stroked the strings, making a crisp sound, and then the lively notes poured out like flowing water.
"What do you think?"
Wei Ke's hands kept moving. "This time when General Xie returned to the court, the Western Frontier also sent a delegation of envoys. I'm afraid they have the intention of marriage."
Xie Chenning thought thoughtfully, "It seems that the power of the harem has to be taken back."
After the song ended, Wei Ke stopped what he was doing and looked at Xie Chenning with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
He knew that Xie Chenning had always been a man of his own ideas and strategies.
Now faced with such a situation, she is able to think about the pros and cons and make decisions quickly, which is truly admirable.
"Wei Ming can come here tonight, I guess he wants you to host the dinner."
