Your majesty, please stay in the cold palace

When Xu Chengze heard that the queen was coming, his head started to hurt again.Why is this woman here again?It's only been a few days since Ansheng!But when the queen came, he couldn't lose his courtesy, so he could only get up and walk to the door to greet her.

Empress Yan Shi was dressed in a uniform embroidered with nine phoenixes, wearing a golden step, her face was as calm as water, still imposing.

When she entered the door and saw Concubine Lin Xian and Concubine Liu Shu, she was taken aback for a moment, then laughed.

"Hey! What kind of wind is this blowing! It's so packed today? I thought we've arrived at the Empress Dowager's Palace of Compassion and Peace, and it's even more lively than my palace's Kunning Palace! Get up!"

"Thank you, Empress."

Everyone got up, Xu Chengze invited the queen to sit down, and asked Alian to exchange tea.

Concubine Liu Shu was the first to say: "A few days ago, my concubine was lethargic, but these days I feel better. I wanted to chat with my sisters and sisters, but I was afraid of disturbing the queen's lunch break, so I came to the imperial concubine."

Yan glanced at her stomach a few times, "Sister Concubine Shu, how many months old? You can't see the stomach."

Concubine Liu Shu lowered her head, caressed her protruding belly with her hand, and said with a smile: "It's only been less than three months, and there are still many months left."

!,,

The Yan family said "Yes", "The emperor's heirs are weak, and the concubine Shu wants to have a good life and take care of her body."

"The concubine will."

Yan Shi turned her head to look, and then looked at Concubine Lin Xian, "Where is Rui'er? Isn't it here?"

Concubine Lin Xian hurriedly said: "Go back to Empress Empress, Rui'er has gone out to play."

Yan took a sip of tea and said lightly: "Concubine Xian, since Rui'er is the prince, he shoulders the responsibility of the country. I heard that the emperor is looking for a teacher for Rui'er. When he goes to school, it can't be as good as it is now." It's so playful."

Concubine Lin Xian got up and saluted, "Yes. The concubine would like to follow the Queen's instructions."

Before she finished speaking, she heard the sound of footsteps, followed by the sound of Guo Rui entering the door.

"Mother Concubine, Aunt Gui, I picked up an egg!"

He shouted so, but threw himself on Xu Chengze's body, showing off with the egg in his hand.

"Look, it's so big!"

In his chubby little hand, the egg really looked huge.

Xu Chengze patted his head with a smile, took the egg in his hand and put it on the table, and said in a low voice: "Ruier, the empress is here, why don't you go see her?"

1,,

Guo Rui's smile disappeared, and he took a few steps forward with a serious face, and knelt down, "Rui'er has seen the queen empress, and the empress is a thousand years old."

Yan Shi hummed lightly, "Get up!"

"Thank you, Empress."

Guo Rui got up, then stepped back in front of Xu Chengze, and said softly, "Auntie Gui, I want a drink of water."

Xu Chengze smiled and asked Yi Na to bring a new teacup, poured a glass of water, and handed it to Guo Rui.Guo Rui took it and "gudong gudong" drank it all.Xu Chengze took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped his mouth.

Seeing that Guo Rui was so close to Xu Chengze, Mrs. Yan felt unwilling. Seeing that his clothes were wrinkled and stained with vegetation and mud, she frowned, "Concubine Lin Xian, although Rui'er is still young, she is going to school soon. How can he be so unruly? Look at his dirty body, how can he have the dignity of a prince? Also, what is a noble aunt? What about the rules in the palace? If you don’t know how to teach your children, I will teach you !"

Concubine Lin Xian got up quickly and said: "I know I was wrong, I hope the empress will forgive me."

Seeing his mother being taught by the queen, Guo Rui raised his head stubbornly. Xu Chengze was afraid that his childish temper would offend the queen if he said rashly.So he smiled and said, "Don't be angry, empress, how old is Rui'er? Naturally, he is more lively and playful, even the queen

In fact, when I was young, I also had the experience of going up a tree to dig out a bird's egg and almost falling off.Boys are naughty, it is inevitable.When he has been taught by a teacher, has read a book, and grows up, if you ask him to do these things, he will not do it. "

Concubine Liu Shu covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Sister Guifei, how do you know that the emperor has taken out bird eggs?"

Xu Chengze pursed his lips and smiled, "Of course the emperor told his concubines."

Yan's tone was sour, "The emperor actually told the noble concubine this kind of thing, it seems that it is not a rumor that the emperor only favors the noble concubine

!,,

"Why don't I remember telling you such embarrassing things?"

When everyone turned their heads, they found Guo Heng standing at the door, taking off his cloak with a smile.His complexion is still not good, but there is a long time on his face.

He smiled and seemed to be in a good mood.

Xu Chengze didn't expect that he would be caught saying bad things about Guo Heng behind his back for the first time, and his face was full of embarrassment; the queen didn't expect that the emperor came to Mei Fangyuan again, smiling and full of jealousy; Concubine Lin Xian and Concubine Liu Shu They also have different thoughts, but they think the same as the queen, the emperor really dotes on the noble concubine!

They saluted together, "Long live the emperor."

In the room, even the court ladies and eunuchs knelt on the ground, Guo Heng smiled and said: "Get up!"

The queen got up, stepped forward to take Guo Heng's cloak, said with a smile: "The concubine was still joking with Concubine Ning just now, the chance of seeing the emperor in Meifang Garden is the greatest."

Guo Heng smiled without saying a word, sat down on the chair, and said: "What is the wind blowing today? Are you all here?" Concubine Liu Shu laughed out loud, then covered her mouth and said: "Your Majesty, you This sentence is exactly the same as what the imperial concubine said.

!,,

"Oh?" Guo Heng then turned to look at Xu Chengze, with a half-smile on his face, "It turns out that I and Concubine Ning are so close-minded.

Rhinoceros. "

Xu Chengze blushed and glared at him.Xindao, can you stop flirting with me in front of so many wives of yours?I am not your woman!

Concubine Liu Shu picked up her teacup and covered her curled mouth.

Yan's complexion was very ugly, the emperor really treated Ning Guifei differently.Listen to this tone, look at that look, jealousy makes her speak sharply

carve.

"Your Majesty, you are not in good health, you should rest more. Meifang Garden is so far away, you should come here less often."

"Well, it's really a bit far away." Guo Heng rubbed his chin, "Princess, I think your health is almost recovered. Let's move back to Ninghe Palace tomorrow!"

"This..." Xu Chengze covered his mouth and coughed twice, "Your Majesty, this concubine is still coughing badly and has no strength in her body, can I wait for this concubine to recover completely before moving back?"

Guo Heng was amazed that the Lenggong was so rudimentary, yet she was unwilling to leave?

But looking at Xu Chengze's tired face, the obvious blue shadows under his eyes, and the red blood in his eyes, it seems that his body is indeed not complete.

recovery.

Looking at her frail body and the shabby condition of the house, Guo Heng thought about it: "The weather will get cold in a few days, you are weak, and living here is not good for your health. In this way, move back before the beginning of the month. how?"

Guo Heng gave him a deadline, which was considered a step back. Xu Chengze didn't dare to bargain any more, so he could only salute and thank him.

Guo Heng took a sip of tea in a good mood, and saw Guo Rui curled up in Concubine Lin Xian's arms.

He waved at him, "Rui'er, come here."

"say,,

疋.

Guo Rui came to Guo Heng and called out timidly, "Father."

Guo Heng smiled and patted his head, and said softly: "I have finally found a suitable teacher for you. You can go to the study next month."

Hearing Guo Heng's words, the empress, Concubine Lin Xian, and Concubine Liu Shu all changed their expressions.Only Xu Chengze's face remained unchanged, thinking in his heart, the emperor persuaded Kong Qingshu so quickly?

The empress suppressed her doubts, and pretended to have a sudden realization: "No wonder the emperor is in such a good mood, it turns out that this important matter has been resolved. I wonder which great Confucianism the emperor invited to be Rui'er's teacher?"

Guo Heng raised his eyelids, and said lightly: "The one I chose, of course I can't be wrong, it's Jiayuehou."

"Marquis Jiayue? Consort Kong?"

Not to mention the empress was surprised, Concubine Lin Xian was also very surprised.Jiayue Hou Kong Qingshu was born as the number one scholar, learned and talented, and more importantly, he was famous for his integrity and never formed a party for personal gain.

Although he is a little blunt, he is very knowledgeable, and I heard that he likes children very much. He was a teacher in a private school before he was the top student in high school. Although he is demanding, he is very patient.He has old qualifications and high status, if he is willing to be Rui'er's teacher, no one will say anything, it would be great.

Concubine Lin Xian didn't expect Guo Heng to be able to invite Kong Qingshu, so she hurriedly saluted.

"The concubine thanked the emperor."

Guo Rui didn't know who Jiayuehou was, but he was very excited when he knew that he had a teacher. He knelt down and kowtowed to Guo Heng.

Guo Heng smiled and excused them.

Both the Queen and Concubine Liu Shu were very disappointed.What the queen thought was that the emperor could think of that stubborn old man and invited him out

Mountain.In terms of public affairs, Kong Qingshu was born as a number one scholar, and his knowledge is qualified. In terms of private affairs, he is the emperor's uncle, Guo Rui's great-uncle, or Jiayuehou, who was conferred by the previous emperor, and his seniority is qualified.It seems that my elder brother can't be this young teacher anymore.

My father wanted my eldest brother to be a young teacher, and he was determined to get it, but this time he was going to be disappointed.But, how did the emperor think of using Jiayuehou?He was obviously very troubled before.

Concubine Liu Shu was also disappointed. What she thought was that the emperor had already decided on a candidate. It seemed that her father was hopeless. She didn't even have a chance to speak. Human favor.

She also remembered what Concubine Lin Xian said just now, she seemed to have asked Concubine Ning, and Concubine Ning helped her, what happened?Could it be just a matter of hiring a teacher for Guo Rui?Unexpectedly, the princess of the southern border country is so scheming.It's just that she came all the way from southern Xinjiang, so she probably wouldn't know that Jiayuehou was.Then... Concubine Lin Xian thanked her for what?

Concubine Lin Xian already has a son, and she is still close to Concubine Ning Gui. Judging by Concubine Ning Gui's attitude towards her, she is not close, so she has not offended her?Could it be that Concubine Lin Xian said something in front of her?

It can't be seen that this Concubine Lin Xian is soft and weak on the surface, she doesn't care about the affairs of the palace, as if she is indifferent to fame and wealth, but she can actually use a knife behind her back.

Concubine Liu Shu thought again, now that she is pregnant, if she gives birth to a son, she will be a strong contender for the throne, and she will definitely not like her.In this case, why should I come to curry favor with the imperial concubine?The empress is more powerful than the noble concubine. Her father is a grand master who almost dominates the court. If I make friends with the empress, wouldn't it be more powerful to me?

Thinking of this, she made up her mind, and her signature sweet smile appeared on her face again.

Guo Heng raised his eyes to look at Adele, only to see that she lowered her head thoughtfully, not only feeling a little lost in her heart.
