wait for me to be king

Chapter 30 Women

"absurd!!"

In the Ningshou Palace, the former noble concubine and now the empress dowager sat at the head, her eyes were cold, her voice was not loud, but it was as heavy as a thousand pounds.

On the lower left, the smile on the Empress' face froze, and she bowed slightly, "Please show me, Empress."

The queen mother looked at the queen fixedly, and said word by word, "Now that your majesty has just ascended the throne, how can you immediately open up the harem to buy beautiful women? Have you forgotten that King Chen and King Chu haven't left the capital yet?"

The queen's face turned pale suddenly, and the handkerchief in her hand was about to be crushed, she immediately bowed down, "I know I was wrong."

She couldn't help feeling annoyed, mainly because Emperor Xuanming praised the prince frequently recently, as if he had forgotten King Qi, she was anxious for a while, and made a bad move.

The queen cried, "I was confused for a while, but..." She paused, "Apart from your concubines, there are only Concubine Shu and Concubine Jing serving by your side. Letting down the empress and His Majesty, working hard all day to handle palace affairs, not daring to slack off in the slightest, His Majesty has only two concubines to serve, compared with the late Emperor, it is really..."

Concubine Shu is the Meng family who gave birth to the eldest daughter and the third prince Lu Wang Qi Dai, and concubine Jing is the Lu family who gave birth to the second emperor.

Hearing the empress's cry, the empress dowager's face softened a little. Yes, compared with the first emperor, there are indeed not many people in Emperor Xuanming's harem, including the empress, there are only three women.

The queen first expressed that she was really worried that she would not be able to serve His Majesty well, then she changed her voice and said, "There is only the Fu family around the prince. According to the prince's rules, there should be two Liangdi, six Liangyuan, and Cheng Huizhao. Yi and so on, although the prince was not born by my minister, he is also a child who was underestimated by my minister. I heard that the prince often studies late into the night. Although my minister is happy with the prince's diligence, he is also worried about his health. With Zhao'er and Eldest Sister to take care of him, this son-in-law is thinking about looking after Xiu Nu and adding one or two servants to the Prince..."

The queen mother narrowed her eyes slightly, no matter what the queen's intentions were, what she said was quite in line with the demeanor of a aunt.

The queen took a peek at the queen mother cautiously, and found that the anger on the queen mother's face seemed to have dissipated a lot, and her heart was lifted, "And my minister also has some selfish intentions..."

She seemed a little ashamed and embarrassed, "Chen'er is seventeen now, the eldest daughter of the Yun family has to be a filial piety for her father, and it will be two years after she gets married at the earliest, I think it's better to point out to Chen'er first." As a side concubine, my son looks at Zhaoer's cleverness and cuteness, and wants to hold a grandson again."

I want multiple children to share the favor!

The Empress Dowager smirked, and the Empress stated her purpose so bluntly. Even though the Empress Dowager was determined, the previous anger gradually dissipated. Regardless of the Crown Prince or King Qi, their children are her grandsons, and the royal heirs are naturally her grandchildren. The more the better, the Queen is right to think so.

Besides, if the queen treats the crown prince and King Qi equally, the queen mother will be surprised. The queen is not from a high family background, but is just an ordinary girl from a good family. It is understandable that the eldest son of the Empress Yuan was the crown prince, and the empress felt unhappy.

Thinking of this, the Empress Dowager's tone became gentler, "Although you think well, you are too impatient. Now the imperial court is preparing for Enke. Even if you want to select a beautiful girl, it will be next year at the earliest."

The queen quickly said, "What the queen mother said is that the son has no experience, so I hope the queen mother can remind me more."

The queen mother finally laughed, "I can't really say something, but..." She said slowly, "Is the eldest girl thirteen now? She should marry after staying for a few more years. As a aunt, don't just remember the prince. "

The queen's eyes rolled, yes, Concubine Shu's eldest daughter has reached the age of marriage, although the princess usually gets married late, she should see her early.

She smiled and said, "It's true that my son was negligent. Speaking of which, the eldest girl is already thirteen, and it's always the elder sister who calls me that. I feel wronged by the elder girl."

The queen mother waved her hand, "It's good that you know."

After saying a few more words, the queen saw that the queen mother seemed to be tired, so she got up and left.

Qi Yuan returned to the East Palace in a cold sweat.

As soon as he arrived at the Lizheng Palace, Eunuch Cai trotted over to greet him, and said in a low voice, "The Crown Princess sent someone to send a message. If you are free, please come over."

Qi Yuan paused, turned around and walked towards Guangtian Palace where the Crown Princess Fu lived.

On the way, he whispered, "Is General Xie here again today?"

After Xie Changfeng left in the morning, Qi Yuan went to the Imperial Study Room to stay with Emperor Xuanming, racked his brains to push down the matter of the draft, and had dinner together again. Seeing that Emperor Xuanming was going to the harem, Qi Yuan resigned and left.

Back in the East Palace, Qi Yuan was afraid for a while. He couldn't imagine how Xie Changfeng, the killer, would react if he knew about the draft.

Generally speaking, some high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the Chu Dynasty were indeed fond of Nanfeng, but most of them just tasted it and only tried it in the Nanfeng Hall. As far as the family is concerned, a regular wife is a must, and the eldest son is the hope of continuing the family inheritance, but if there are not only regular wives in the backyard, but also groups of maidservants and concubines... Ha ha.

Hearing Xie Changfeng's words, he seemed to have murderous intentions towards Mrs. Fu, if there were more Liangdi Liangyuan... Qi Yuan subconsciously touched his neck, always feeling chilly.

Hearing this, Eunuch Cai immediately raised his head to look at Qi Yuan, then lowered his head again, "The Commander has not come to the East Palace again, Ye Youwei is on duty today."

Qi Yuan heaved a sigh of relief, and then froze, his face hard to look.

He was actually afraid of Xie Changfeng?What are you kidding?He is the prince, the prince, the prince! !

He clenched his fists and walked into Guangtian Temple with a dark face.

Mrs. Fu got the news a long time ago, and greeted her at the gate of the hall.

Seeing Qi Yuan's complexion was not good, Xu Shi was also cautious when speaking.

"Meet Your Highness."

Qi Yuan waved his hand and stepped into Guangtian Hall first.

Mrs. Fu invited Qi Yuan to the warm pavilion in the East Chamber. She took a handkerchief and went up to wipe the sweat on Qi Yuan's forehead, and helped him change his clothes at home. Pushing open the window of the Nuan Pavilion, a breeze came, accompanied by the faint fragrance of flowers, Qi Yuan's irritability also dissipated a lot.

Fu offered a bowl of red bean soup with both hands, and said softly, "Your Highness, use some bean soup. I asked someone to add some honey. It tastes refreshing and sweet. After using it today, Zhaoer said it was delicious, and even drank it There are two big bowls."

After eating a bowl of red bean soup, the last bit of anger disappeared, Qi Yuan said indifferently, "Zhao'er is still young, so you have to be extra careful when eating, it's better to be careful."

Fu said with a smile, "What Your Highness said is that I have asked Madam Qi to watch carefully, and only let Zhao'er use a small bowl to quench his thirst and nourish his lungs every day, and he dare not use more."

Qi Yuan nodded, "What's the matter?"

Fu's eyes flickered slightly, and he smiled, "Madam Xie came to the East Palace today as a guest. Madam Xie is virtuous and virtuous, and she does not hide her heroism. She is indeed the daughter of the general!"

Qi Yuan was taken aback, and he raised his head, "Mrs. Xie? Is it Xie Changfeng's wife, Mrs. Lin?"

"Exactly." Mrs. Fu casually played with the fan in her hand, while sizing up Qi Yuan without any trace, "I heard from the guard Yan that His Highness was seriously ill at the border, and it was Mrs. Xie who asked someone to vacate the yard and invite a doctor to take care of His Highness." , I have always been grateful, and I want to find an opportunity to thank her properly!"

Fu's words brought back Qi Yuan's memories, thinking of that person's non-stop care that night, Qi Yuan was stunned.

No matter how much Xie Changfeng had in mind for him, he cared about him after all, and stood behind him, guarding him silently.

The expression on Qi Yuan's face suddenly became complicated.

Fu's heart tightened, and she felt that the prince had become weird after he came back from the border. Now that she mentions Lin, the prince has become absent-minded. Could it be...

The smile on Mrs. Fu's face remained unchanged, and she continued, "I heard that Mrs. Xie just had a son, so I asked Hongjuan to open a warehouse to buy some medicinal materials, and also gave Zhao'er the little clothes she saved when she was young. Mrs. Xie I'm overjoyed."

Happy son?Qi Yuan's face darkened.

Mrs. Fu continued to smile, with a leisurely tone, "Speaking of which, General Xie was young and promising. Duke Dingguo was astute and picked General Xie as his son-in-law. General Xie and Mrs. Xie had a deep relationship after they got married. General Xie is the commander of the imperial guards of the Eastern Palace, not only is the palace safe and sound, but also can establish a relationship with Ding Guogong, and don’t ask Ding Guogong to be biased, as long as he remains neutral, it will be a great help to His Highness!"

Eyes like torches?Deep feelings?Qi Yuan's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.

Eunuch Cai who was standing by the side tucked his head into his collar. He finally discovered that there are three mountains in the East Palace, one for the crown prince, one for Commander Xie, and one for the crown princess!

The relationship between these three people is bloody, if it is accidentally mixed in, it will be a dead word!

Mrs. Fu accepts it as soon as she sees it. After finishing speaking, she no longer mentions Mrs. Lin, but has a caring expression on her face, "My mother said a few words yesterday, there are too few people serving His Highness, look..."

Qi Yuan said bluntly, "Don't worry about it, I have already told my father that Enke is coming soon, I'm too busy to deal with it, I don't have any thoughts on it, besides, the emperor's grandfather just left not long ago, so it's not suitable for drafting. "

Mrs. Fu had known for a long time that the Queen's move was a bad one, and she didn't take it seriously from the beginning. Now that she heard Qi Yuan say this, she nodded immediately, "I understand."

Seeing Qi Yuan getting up to leave, Fu said again, "Your Highness is busy these days, please pay more attention to your body."

She stared at Eunuch Cai with a smile on her face, "Everyone around me is paying attention, if His Highness feels unwell, please go to the imperial physician as soon as possible, you understand?"

Eunuch Cai hurriedly said yes, Qi Yuan nodded casually and left.

Xie Changfeng returned to the mansion, just entered the main courtyard, when he saw Qingping flustered.

Xie Changfeng frowned, strode into the room, and saw Mrs. Lin sitting by the bed, holding the letter in a daze.

Qingping was extremely anxious, "The general is back!"

Only then was Lin woke up, seeing Xie Changfeng coming in, her face was full of exhaustion, "Qingping, you go down now."

Qingping hesitated to speak, and backed away after taking every step.

Xie Changfeng was puzzled, "What's wrong?"

Lin said softly, "Enke will be opened soon, right?"

Xie Changfeng nodded. They set off from Yanmenguan just after the New Year. Originally, Enke was going to open in April, but Emperor Xuanming thought it over again. He was worried about the instability of the power transition between the old and the new dynasties. In addition, King Chen and King Chu still stayed in Beijing. Emperor Xuanming took Unsure of how to deal with the two Uncle Wangs, he temporarily postponed the Enke matter to June.

It's already the end of May now, and Enke will open in half a month. At this moment, there are children everywhere in central Beijing, and the inns are full.

Lin sighed, "General, do you still remember my grandfather's family?"

Xie Changfeng thought for a while, "... I vaguely remember that it is the Zheng family of Xingyang?"

"That's right...my maternal ancestral family is the real aristocratic family. Everyone in the world knows that it is a great advantage for my father to marry my mother, even though my mother is only a side branch of the Zheng family." Lin raised the letter in his hand, "This is A letter from my grandmother."

"...Are you talking about Enke?" Xie Changfeng was a little strange, "Our family is a general, so it has nothing to do with Enke, and besides, Zheng's children still need us to take care of them?"

"No, my grandmother said in the letter that when my mother was still alive, she married someone with her fingertips and betrothed me to him." Lin's expression was extremely complicated, "Now the other party has gone to Beijing..."

Hearing this sentence, Xie Changfeng's expression was extremely exciting.

The author has something to say: Just look at the title of this volume and you will know that it is the romantic relationship between the military master and the emperor.

According to an acquainted author, in the Chinese paper texts, it is because CP is not a girl, so it can be described arbitrarily, so most of the girls in the three thousand articles are not simple, they occupy a very important space, if there are readers If you don't like it, you can skip it by yourself...

And in the end, what Lin said has an inside story, so don't worry...
