Empress Dowager + Spoiler

Seeing that Zhao Sansi was suddenly speechless, Princess Mingzhao thought that her son was making people unhappy, so she stood up and brought Xiaoshizi over, "A'Ning, your emperor's uncle has hugged you for so long, come down quickly. "

After being hugged for so long, Zhao Sansi was indeed a little numb. When he came back to his senses, he smiled and didn't force himself.

Her absent-minded appearance made Princess Mingzhao and the son-in-law a little uneasy, the husband and wife looked at each other, then knelt down and said goodbye with the little prince in their arms, "Your Majesty takes care of everything, and my son-in-law and I will stay soon, so we bid farewell to the emperor. "

Zhao Sansi's mind was not on them at the moment, so he didn't stay there for long, rubbed his browbones, cheered up a little, asked Little Six to prepare the gift in return, and sent them to the gate of the palace in person.

After the people left, Zhao Sansi sat alone in Chengqian Hall in a daze, recalling everything from the first time she saw that noble concubine Xi to last night, and after a long time, she clutched herself and slammed into a mess. With a beating heart, he murmured: "What do I like about the imperial concubine?"

Chapter 39

About what kind of liking she likes for Gu Xizhao, Zhao Sansi has never been able to figure it out. She wanted to ask these people around her a few times, but when the words came to her mouth, she felt inexplicably ashamed and had to give up, but the more she thought about it, she couldn't Understand, the more she scratched her heart and lungs for an answer.

Distressed as hell.

Therefore, since Princess Mingzhao was sent out of the palace, those who surrounded her all day could obviously feel the little emperor's frown, especially Huarong, who was always by her side and waited on her. She looked like she was out of her mind. In the past two days, she was scolded miserably by the prime minister in the morning and scolded miserably by the Taifu in the afternoon. She was anxious and distressed.

Seeing that the Taifu was so angry that he walked away again, Huarong came out quietly, and said to Li Zhongxian with a sad face: "Elder-in-law, what do you think has happened to the emperor these two days?"

"You wait on me all day, you don't know, our family doesn't even know." Li Zhongxian took a sneak peek into the hall, the little emperor's mouth looked like he was studying seriously, but his brows were frowned like pimples. Yes, his face is full of absent-mindedness, it's no wonder that the faces of the Prime Minister and the Tai Tuo have not looked good in the past few days.

These few days, the little emperor kept his law and order unbelievably, but he was too law-abiding.

As the saying goes, if things go wrong, there must be demons. The more so, Li Zhongxian became more uneasy. After pondering for a while, he said: "The emperor doesn't like to enjoy, so I will let your sisters serve you personally on weekdays. You can spend the same two days. What did you say?"

"No." Huarong shook her head, "The emperor has never been a talkative person, only occasionally when she mentioned the imperial concubine, she would say a few more words. Since that day when Princess Mingzhao's family was sent out of the palace, the emperor has kept talking. The imperial concubine didn’t even mention it.”

Li Zhongxian thumped in his heart, "Really?"

Huarong nodded, glanced inside again, leaned close to Li Zhongxian and said, "I don't know what the emperor is thinking, my father-in-law doesn't know, when the emperor was approving the papers today, the papers were turned upside down, and Mr. Wang's Zhezi was painted with a lot of ink, which made the Prime Minister lose his mind and threw the teacup in front of the Emperor in the palace."

Li Zhongxian didn't know what to say, and after a while he said: "Then... the emperor is not angry?"

Huarong shook her head, "Eunuch, when did the emperor get angry with us? The servants have been serving her these days, and I only see that the emperor is a little bit stubborn about the noble concubine..."

Regarding this, Li Zhongxian felt the same way, and thought about it for a while, "After Princess Mingzhao left that day, you served in the palace, do you know what the prime minister and the emperor said?"

"After the prime minister came that day, the emperor ordered his servants to serve tea. I don't know what else he said. When the servants went in again, they only heard the prime minister persuading the emperor, saying that the emperor is still young and has seen few women. Bewildered... I don't know the specific servants, but it's mostly these."

Li Zhongxian gritted his teeth secretly, "Then what was the emperor's reaction at that time?"

When he chased him that day, Cai Jun had long since disappeared. Later, he got involved in some miscellaneous matters, and the words that he had discussed in the long run have been lost. Now it seems that this Cai Baozi must have said something.

Hearing the difference in his tone, Huarong couldn't help but looked up at him, thought carefully, and then answered carefully: "I didn't pay attention so much, anyway, after the prime minister left, the emperor has always been in such a distraught state."

Hearing this, Li Zhongxian became more and more sure that it was Cai Jun who said something that made Zhao Sansi like this these two days, and scolded Cai Jun thousands of times in his heart.

Seeing that he was silent, Huarong was afraid that Li Zhongxian would blame her for not taking good care of her, so she took the initiative to say: "In the future, the servants will be more careful in serving the emperor, but right now I'm afraid I need my father-in-law to help me think of a way, the emperor's appetite is not good these two days It's not good to follow, I'm afraid it will be..."

"Okay, you can go and serve first." Li Zhongxian interrupted her impatiently. Of course he knew that the little emperor's going on like this was not an option, but right now he couldn't come up with a useful solution, "The emperor is reading it there. It's been so long, you send some snacks to let her relieve her fatigue."

Hua Rong bowed to answer, went to serve the snacks in person, tried it herself before bringing it to the hall, saw that Zhao Sansi had kept that movement, although his mouth was reading, but his eyes were looking blankly, she was afraid of taking a risk. He got too close to scare people, so he called out from a distance first, "Your Majesty..."

After yelling three times in a row, Zhao Sansi came back to his senses, quickly turned a page of the book in his hand, and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that it was Hua Rong, "It's you."

"It's a servant girl." Huarong nodded, brought over the pastry, twisted a piece of it with a handkerchief and passed it over, "Your Majesty, take a rest, you have been reading for more than half an hour."

Zhao Sansi rubbed her eyes, she didn't have much appetite, but they had already been delivered to her hand, she took it anyway, took a bite, felt sweet and greasy, a little greasy, and put it down again, "These pastries are for you, you guys Sisters, take it and eat."

Huarong knelt down to thank her, then put the cake aside, poured her a cup of tea, and suggested in a low voice: "The sun is already in the west, the emperor has been sitting in the hall for a whole day today, do you want to go out? Listen It is said that the Phalaenopsis orchids in the Imperial Garden are in bloom, bright red, very pleasing to look at."

Zhao Sansi took a sip of tea, looked at the "Analects of Confucius" placed in front of him, and shook his head, "Today, the Taifu was pissed off by me. Only if you know it by heart.”

It is a good thing that the emperor is motivated.

Huarong pursed her lips and refused to persuade her anymore, but looking at Zhao Sansi's small face, she felt distressed for no reason, hesitated for a moment, and said boldly: "Your Majesty, you... you have been a big deal these few days. Something on your mind?"

Zhao Sansi looked at her, and opened her mouth slightly, "How do you know..." Halfway through speaking, she drooped her head again, and said dejectedly: "No, no."

Obviously there is.

Huarong knelt down, "This servant secretly ponders the holy will, this servant deserves to die. But this servant is really worried about the emperor, and this servant is willing to share his worries for the emperor."

Although now you are the king of a country, Zhao Sansi is still not used to the etiquette of these people kneeling towards her at every turn. She scratched her nose irritably, "Get up first, I haven't figured it out yet. , let me figure it out before I say it.”

Huarong thought that she thought she was stupid and thought she couldn't come up with any ideas, so she didn't want to talk to her.He secretly hated himself for being useless, and thought of Gu Xizhao for some reason, stood up and remained silent for a moment, and then suggested thoughtfully: "The imperial concubine is the most intelligent. In the past, the late emperor liked to discuss things with the imperial concubine when he encountered things that he couldn't understand. Fan..."

Zhao Sansi: "..." Her concern is all about the noble concubine. Could it be that she is going to say to the noble concubine in person: "Great concubine, I... oh no, I deserve to die, I don't think you are my sister-in-law, but I still want to marry you!" Marry you, noble concubine, tell me quickly, what is my liking for you...

Just thinking about it like this made her feel ashamed and wished she could find a hole and go down.

Seeing that Zhao Sansi lowered her eyes and said nothing, Hua Rong didn't dare to say more.

For a while, the hall became quiet again.

After a while, came Zhao Sansi's old-fashioned sigh, "I'm worried, even the imperial concubine can't help me now."

Just talking about Gu Xizhao, Zhao Sansi became a little more energetic, "By the way, Eunuch Li said before that the fate of the harem concubines and the rearrangement of the palace will be finalized in three days, but now it is finalized?"

"It's settled." Huarong nodded. It was rare to see her take the initiative to ask these things in the past two days, so she said a few more words, "The first emperor was diligent and did not indulge in beauty. There are 38 people in the harem, unprecedented in history. Fifteen of them were included in the list. Except for nobleman Qing who voluntarily stayed in the palace, the other fourteen chose to go out of the palace. Now these main halls in the harem will be vacated for you to place your concubine. Therefore, these 24 masters, Except for the Empress who is still listening to the Bamboo Palace, Yihua Palace like Concubine Yu's and Changle Palace for Concubine Gui are all vacant..."
