Your majesty, please stay in the cold palace

Guo Heng saw Xu Chengze's reaction in his eyes, and also heard the two words he started, but remained calm.

"Yes, it was precisely because of Fu Minxian's untimely death that Mr. Fu was eager to think about his son, so he went with him."

Xu Chengze lowered his head slightly and did not speak.He was afraid that if he opened his mouth, he would choke up.

Fu Minxian was the only son of Fu Zhaobin. He had read poetry and books since he was a child. More than ten years ago, Xu Chengze entered the palace to accompany him. Fu Minxian often taught them how to write on behalf of his father.He has a gentle temper, but he is very serious in his work, no matter who he treats, he treats everyone equally.Both the prince and the companion listened to him very much, and respectfully called him "Senior Brother Fu".

Xu Chengze remembered that the last time he saw Fu Minxian was after he was the number one scholar in high school. Facing the admiration and envy of these little ones, he didn't show any pride on his face, but just smiled at them faintly.

He didn't expect that the person who was as elegant as a chrysanthemum had already left.

Seeing that he was silent all this time, Guo Heng coughed lightly, "Guard Yu, don't you have a better solution?" Xu Chengze finally came to his senses, put away his grief, "Your Majesty, there is someone for a lowly position."

"Oh? Let's hear it."

"Jiayue Hou Kong Qingshu."

This time it was Guo Heng who was surprised, "You mean the eldest princess' son-in-law, Jiayuehou Kong Qingshu?"

"say,,

"But... Ever since the eldest princess passed away, Lord Konghou has been shutting himself out and not asking about political affairs."

"Your majesty, I feel that the grand master has nothing to say if Kong Hou Ye is the teacher of the eldest prince. As for whether he is willing to do it or not, it depends on the emperor."

Guo Heng is no stranger to Kong Qingshu.Kong Qingshu was the number one scholar 20 years ago.The article is well written, and what is even more rare is that the person is good.Back then, the eldest princess, Guo Heng's aunt, was over the age of double ten and was still unmarried. When the first emperor saw Kong Qingshu, he had the heart to betroth the princess to him.

Guo Heng has also heard about the story of Kong Qingshu and the eldest princess. It was a tortuous process at the beginning, but now it is a good story.

But the reason why Kong Qingshu didn't ask about government affairs was that the death of the eldest princess was just an excuse for him. The main reason was his disappointment with the former emperor, especially the death of Xu Yixiu, which made him completely give up on the Daliang Dynasty.It has been almost 20 years since he resolutely withdrew from the court and ignored worldly affairs.

Thinking of Kong Qingshu's character and ability, Guo Heng nodded, "Okay. I will invite him."

Xu Chengze yawned, looking sleepy, looking at the food on the table, he didn't have any appetite.

"A-Lian, you shouldn't have woken me up. I still want to sleep."

A-Lian whispered: "Princess, what can you do if you don't eat? I didn't eat breakfast, but I have to eat lunch. Look at you, you are getting thinner and thinner."

Xu Chengze raised his hand and touched his face, "How could it be as exaggerated as you said? I have always been like this."

Yi Na said coldly: "Eat well, and go to bed after eating."

Xu Chengze knew that the two of them were doing it for his own good, so he could only eat with his head down.

After only drinking half a bowl of soup, I heard Xiao Chengzi report outside: "Concubine Shu, please see me."

"Oh? Concubine Liu Shu is here again?"

Alian said, "It seems that the princess is right, there must be something wrong with Concubine Liu Shu."

Yi Na snorted coldly, "What's the matter at this hour! The princess hasn't eaten yet!"

In fact, it's not because Concubine Liu Shu came at the wrong time, but Xu Chengze got up too late.Who would have thought that he would only have lunch when the end of the day was almost over?

Xu Chengze stood up, "A-Lian, you go out and serve me first, Yi Na, wash and change my clothes."

"say,,

疋.

Seeing Concubine Liu Shu again, she still greeted her with a smile and chatted some gossip, but the expression on her face seemed to hesitate several times.

She didn't say anything, and Xu Chengze didn't want to ask, he just sat and listened to her, and made a few perfunctory words from time to time.The sun shone in warmly, it was neither hot nor cold, Xu Chengze felt a little sleepy as he listened.

"The concubine sees that her sister's spirit is not good and she always wants to doze off. Could it be that she is happy?"

Concubine Liu Shu's words suddenly woke up Xu Chengze.Are you happy?How can it be?

He shook his head hastily, "No, no, I'm sleepy in spring, tired in autumn and nap in summer."

Concubine Liu Shu covered her mouth and said with a smile: "When the concubine was just pregnant, she was also sleepy! I always feel that I can't wake up. Sister, you'd better ask Imperial Physician Qi to come and see."

Xu Chengze nodded perfunctorily.

Concubine Liu Shu looked at Xu Chengze's appearance, her face was flushed, and her eyes were moist from yawning, she couldn't tell whether it was jealousy or envy.She is so beautiful!No wonder the emperor likes her so much.

"Sister, in fact, the concubine just came here, because...to ask for something."

oh?She is finally going to say the purpose of coming to the door twice?

Xu Chengze took a sip of tea, frowned bitterly, and looked at A-Lian sadly.He knew that A-Lian deliberately gave him Kudingcha, in order to make him more sober, he was indeed sober a lot.

"Concubine Shu, if you have something to say, please tell me. How can I ask for it? I can't afford it."

Concubine Liu Shu smiled and said: "Sister said so, the concubine will be my sister and agree? The concubine thanked my sister first."

As he spoke, he stood up and bowed Yingying down.

Xu Chengze hurriedly said: "Alian, quickly help up Concubine Shu. Concubine Shu, you are pregnant, so there is no need to be polite."

Concubine Liu Shu sat down again, and Xu Chengze said seriously: "Ms. Concubine Shu, you and I are both concubines in the palace. If there is anything I can help, I will naturally help. It's just that I have just entered the palace not long ago, and I am not familiar with the place where I live. Yes, I'm afraid I will disappoint Concubine Shu."

Concubine Liu Shu didn't take it seriously, "Sister Concubine, don't be modest, who in this harem doesn't know that the emperor likes you the most? As long as you say a word, the emperor will definitely agree."

Xu Chengze frowned, his tone became much colder.He doesn't like her beating around the bush, and has long been tired of it, but the other party is a woman and pregnant, so he can only be patient and perfunctory.At this time, it was unbearable.

"Concubine Shu, what's the matter? Please tell me directly!"

"Oh. Look at me. I've said so much, but I didn't get down to business. It's like this. The concubine's father is now a bachelor of the Imperial Academy. He heard that the emperor wanted to invite Mr. Enlightenment for the eldest prince. He really wanted to try it. He As the teacher of the eldest son of the emperor, if the concubine is lucky enough to give birth to the prince, he can also go to school with him when the time comes, as he is the child's grandfather, he will definitely do his best to teach. Is this a little selfishness of the concubine?"

This is what happened?

As the prince's teacher, he had better knowledge and better character.Xu Chengze didn't know anything about Concubine Liu Shu's father, how could he tell Guo Heng that?What's more, he just recommended Kong Qingshu yesterday, so he can't go back on his word.Moreover, the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy is only a fifth-rank official, and it is not suitable for Prince Shaofu who was promoted to a second-rank official all at once.

Therefore, he immediately rejected Concubine Liu Shu.

"Concubine Shu thinks highly of me. The prince's teacher is responsible for the prince's education and has a relationship with the country. How can I wait for the concubine in the harem to make decisions about such important national affairs?"

Concubine Liu Shu didn't know what Xu Chengze was thinking, she just thought he was unwilling to speak.

"Is the noble concubine unwilling? If you mention it to the emperor, no matter whether the emperor agrees or not, the concubine will accept your favor. You came from southern Xinjiang alone, and you are not familiar with the place in this palace. We sisters Wouldn't it be good to help each other?"

Hearing what she said, Xu Chengze became even more annoyed by her.She is coercing and luring, do you have to agree to it?

He said coldly: "Ms. Concubine Shu really flattered me. As you said, I am new to the palace, how can the emperor listen to me? Mrs. Concubine Shu is pregnant, and the emperor must cherish her. If she speaks , Your Majesty has absolutely no reason to refuse."

Concubine Liu Shu heard his words become more rusty than before, her face changed color, and if she wanted to say anything more, she heard the report from the eunuch outside, "The virtuous concubine has arrived, and the eldest son of the emperor has arrived."

Xu Chengze stood up and said with a smile: "What kind of wind is blowing today, Concubine Shu is here, and their wives are also here?"

Concubine Liu Shu felt sour when she heard Xu Chengze's familiar tone. Does this mean Concubine Lin Xian often comes here?That's right, I heard that the emperor is in a hurry to find a teacher for the eldest prince, and it was the imperial concubine who proposed it to the emperor.Does Concubine Lin Xian have her own ideas?After all, she was hiring a teacher for her son.

I heard that Concubine Lin Xian walked around frequently with Concubine Ning, that's why Concubine Ning rejected me?

Concubine Liu Shu thought so, but she also stood up and looked at the door.

Guo Rui entered the door, and as soon as he saw Xu Chengze, a big smile burst out on his face. He raised his calf, and wanted to pounce on him, but he caught a glimpse of Concubine Liu Shu standing behind Xu Chengze, and stopped, restraining himself Excited, he bowed in a proper manner.

"Rui'er has met the imperial concubine, the concubine Shu."

Xu Chengze pulled him up and looked at him, only to see that his hair was tied up in a bun, and he was wearing a blue uniform, giving him a bit more imposing manner.He smiled and said, "Sure enough, he's going to school, and he's much more stable than a few days ago."

Concubine Lin Xian greeted Xu Chengze and Concubine Liu Shu with a smile, and said: "Sister Guifei, don't praise him, that is to say, he still looks stable in front of you. He is still very stubborn in front of concubines!"

"Rui'er is still a child, it's natural to be playful, so please don't be too harsh, Concubine Xian."

"The imperial concubine is right!" Concubine Liu Shu said leisurely beside her, "I also think that the eldest prince is lively and cute, and I really envy the elder sister Xianfei!"

Concubine Lin Xian looked at her bulging belly and said with a smile: "Sister, don't worry, you will be a mother in a few months. When you have a child, you will know that you have worked hard."

Concubine Liu Shu lowered her head and touched her belly, smiling complacently, "When he comes out, I will definitely teach him well." Guo Rui took Xu Chengze's hand and looked up at him, "Auntie Gui, I can go and see Little rabbit?"

"of course can."

Xu Chengze asked Alian to take him there.

Concubine Lin Xian smiled and shook her head, "This kid is always arguing for me to raise a rabbit for him!"

Xu Chengze said: "If Rui'er likes it, let him take that rabbit back."

Concubine Liu Shu hurriedly said: "Oh! You can raise the elder sister of the imperial concubine. Look, who raises chickens and ducks in this palace? So I said, the emperor loves elder sister the most."

Xu Chengze was speechless and could only smile.

Yi Na served refreshments again, and the few people chatted.

Xu Chengze was a little absent-minded. Concubine Lin Xian and Concubine Lin Shu were talking about concubines in the harem. Apart from these two, Xu Chengze didn't know anyone else, couldn't intervene, and wasn't interested.When talking about the emperor again, he was even more unable to open his mouth. Now his relationship with the emperor is too difficult to define.

Concubine Lin Xian heard that the emperor had rejected the proposal of the grand master and proposed to ask Concubine Kong to be Guo Rui's teacher. Concubine Lin Xian thought that Xu Chengze must have played a role. She came here this time to thank her, but she didn't expect Concubine Liu Shu Will be at.

She gossiped for a while, then said cryptically: "Rui'er always comes to bother my sister, my concubine should thank you very much!"

Xu Chengze hurriedly said: "I like this child Rui'er very much, you don't have to thank you, Concubine Xian."

"It's getting late, and the concubine will not disturb the rest of the imperial concubine and sister."

Concubine Lin Xian stood up, thinking of telling Guo Rui to go back, but she heard the voice outside: "The empress is here!"
