Returning the Pearl and the Reborn Emperor

Concubine Zhen is pregnant, and the emperor is overjoyed when he hears about it. The concubine who has favored him in recent years has no good news. He suddenly heard that Qilin gave birth to a child. He was excited to drink and celebrate with Qing Ting. Although Qing Ting is good at drinking, but now she is old Not small, dare not be reckless, the emperor is also the same, they drink a few cups to add to the fun, and then take advantage of the drunkenness to chat and laugh.

The emperor asked Qing Ting with a smile: "I'm almost old, I don't want to have this kind of trouble anymore, I don't know if my old wife can smell jealous when drinking."

Seeing him teasing herself, Qing Ting smiled and said: "Since ancient times, drinking wine has the smell of vinegar. There is only one lady, not me. Besides, the royal family has a baby, and the branches and leaves are scattered. What a joy, so where did the vinegar come from?" Smell." Mrs. Fang is effective as a Yufu, this one has already been determined, and there is no way to correct it.

The emperor laughed at her because she was stubborn, and the two asked the maids to remove the food and drink, and Yi said some homely things on the kang. When it came to this child who was about to be born and didn't know the gender, the emperor couldn't help but sigh at the love of this capital city. Most of Xinjueluo's descendants are mediocre. Without this surname, they would be useless, and most of them would not be able to survive.

Qing Ting said disapprovingly: "With this surname to take care of, it will take a few lifetimes for others to dream of things. Not to mention the royal family, even other big families have a direct descendant who is promising but not promising. If you are really capable, you will not be suppressed by your own background. If you are really suppressed, you can only blame him for not having a chance. This person can succeed. Background, ability, luck, and opportunity are all indispensable. Some people can succeed and some cannot. , Just like the moon has its ups and downs, some people can prosper and others can't, so no one can be satisfied with everything."

The emperor laughed at the empress' lack of knowledge, but he said it in his heart. Ever since the poor family was able to become an official, he always had some problems with the children of the aristocratic family. The empress came from an aristocratic family, so saying these words was very suitable for her status.

Although Qing Ting drank a few cups, she was still clear-headed, and she didn't need her to be knowledgeable about the past and the present, and she had extraordinary insights, and she just said a few words in ordinary times. Regardless of the source", the people the emperor just mentioned are all surnamed Aixinjueluo. If he doesn't say anything now, his petty mind can be kept in his heart, and he will get it back one day. He is used to teasing people. Besides, the aristocratic family The importance that children hold high in the court has never changed. There are few children from humble families who have no roots and no roots who can be high in the first rank. Except for the help of powerful father-in-law, there are really not two who can rely entirely on themselves.

The emperor yawned and seemed a little tired. Qing Ting asked him if he wanted to sleep for a while. The emperor had already dealt with the important papers, and left the rest to the Military Aircraft Department. If there was nothing special, she nodded. Said: "I'm taking a nap here with you, remember to wake me up later,"

Being an emperor is also a hard job. You don't sleep at dusk and you don't sleep at night. Qing Ting eats with him. He only eats half a bowl of rice. He didn't eat much just now. Qing Ting

Instruct the maids and eunuchs to serve you well, not to disturb the emperor, and pay more attention to the fact that if the emperor suddenly wakes up and asks for tea,

The emperor rested for a while, woke up and took out his pocket watch to match the western clock in the room. I remember the queen said that it was about 45 minutes later. The maids at the side heard him saying that he wanted tea, and hurriedly brought tea.

While drinking tea, the emperor asked, "Where is the queen?"

The serving maid answered, saying that she was writing outside.

Qing Ting walked in from the outside and said: "The emperor woke up, I wanted you to sleep a little longer,"

"I'm sleepy when I go to sleep again, and I'm still writing those ghostly things." The emperor washed his face and became more energetic. Where can you find a monkey with boundless magic power to rescue you?"

Qing Ting said with a smile: "I'm old and ugly. The goblin took me to do something. Now, the goblin won't even look at me."

"That's not what I meant. Besides, if you are ugly, the concubines in the harem would not dare to let me see you." The emperor joked with her a few more times before leaving. It's time for the concubine to pass, and she can't be kept waiting.

Qing Ting sat in front of the case and wrote for a while before she put down her pen and read her content from beginning to end. Over the years, she has written a lot, and there are quite a lot of strange things in the palace. Some innocuous records are quite enjoyable. Besides these, she also wrote some stories about ghosts, foxes and fairies. The concubines in the palace love to read them if they are bold and fearless, and they also read them if they are curious, timid and afraid. I also like to watch it. I often go to the palace to ask her for it and go back to the princess mansion to watch it slowly.

The emperor disapproved of their appearance, saying that all the ghosts, foxes and monsters are just to frighten these innocent women, and he still enjoys scaring himself. It's time for revenge.

On the contrary, Qing Ting has done something. After a hundred years, when people talk about her, they might add that Empress Nala is still a novelist.Qing Ting sometimes exudes a literati breath in her body, which is still a bit sour.Just happened to be free today, Qing Ting took out some of the previous writings to read and revise, only to find that some words were added and written in the blank space next to them.

Qing Ting wrote a demon who heard that the scholar had no parents, no brothers, no care, no worries, and a single family, with few neighbors around. She said happily: "Very good, very good." Someone wrote a small line beside it: Very good, very good, it is convenient to act when eating people.This handwriting Qing Ting has seen many times, it is upright and powerful, the emperor's imperial pen.Your Majesty, you never believed what you said, and every time you said it was wrong, it was tasteless, it was boring, it was not good-looking, and you wrote and drew pictures on my manuscript every time.Maybe scholars in the future will like this thing, from which we can test the depth of the emperor's empress' feelings.

br>——————————————————————————————————

When dressing up in the early morning of the second day, one of Qing Ting's hairpins disappeared, but she had clearly worn it yesterday, and took it off before going to bed and put it away in the jewelry box.

The maid in charge of such affairs was trembling, knelt on the ground and begged her for mercy, pleading: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, the slaves really put away last night." Her voice trembled, she knew that this was one of the empress's favorite jewelry , is gone now, even if the empress punishes her lightly, she can't escape the crime of dereliction of duty. If she is punished by the chief steward and demoted from a first-class court lady to a handy maid who does rough work, then I have nothing to worry about, and I will leave the palace in the future No face.

Qing Ting was not angry, and said: "Get up and look for it. If you can't find it for a while, don't search desperately. Maybe it was borrowed by a good friend. If you look hard, your good friend will be upset and damage it." The gain outweighs the loss if you own this hairpin, or else it will become a charm over the years, and you will go out to play by yourself, and when you have enough fun, you will come back by yourself." How many people dare to steal her things , if you dare to steal, your courage and means are by no means ordinary, and hers will return to her in the end.This kind of thing happened frequently in the palace, especially around the Ghost Festival, Qing Ting generally didn't want to pursue it too much, as long as the things were returned intact, she didn't mind her good friends lending her things to play with.

Shi Gege's nanny came over to have breakfast with Qing Ting in her arms. Although Qing Ting took pity on her daughter, she always paid attention to cultivating the child's independent character. She didn't allow the nanny or maid to help, and asked Shi Gege to eat with a spoon , Ten Gege is used to fine food, and is very pampered, he can get whatever he wants, this morning he wants to eat crispy fresh milk, and he refuses to eat the prepared breakfast no matter what.

Qing Ting's face turned cold, she put down the spoon, and said, "Don't be picky eaters, so what if you eat less."

Seeing the queen's serious expression, Shi Gege's nanny hurriedly lowered her head to scoop up a spoonful of hazelnut and wolfberry porridge for Shi Gege, and whispered to Shi Gege to eat quietly.

Qing Ting calmed down, ordered the nanny to step back, picked up the bowl herself, and said to Shi Gege: "I'll make it for you tomorrow morning, and eat well today, and the queen mother will feed you, this porridge is delicious and good for your health."

Shi Gege was very coaxing, seeing that the Queen's mother had become amiable again, she pouted and said that the red beans in it were not tasty.

"It's good for the eyes. Don't ten girls want to have beautiful eyes like the fourth sister? Queen Mother assures you that after you eat wolfberries, your eyes will be more beautiful than the fourth sister. Hurry up and eat later." The concubine is coming to pay her respects."

Shi Gege looked at Huang Erniang, blinked his eyes, and ate porridge obediently, with a slightly sad face.

After a while, the concubine came to pay her respects. Before she came in, the eunuch said that the empress seemed to be in a bad mood. She was smart.

I made up my mind to say less and make less mistakes, try to reduce my sense of existence, and just get along.

The queen looked at them and said with a smile: "The ones who came here are quite early today."

The concubines thought to themselves: It's not usually this time, why is it so early.

Qing Ting looked at Concubine Zhen, with a smile on her lips, and said: "Sister Concubine Zhen, you are pregnant now, you have to pay attention to your body, pregnancy is hard work, let alone the heir of the emperor, you have not had any good news in the past few years, This palace is also very anxious."

Concubine Zhen hurriedly replied: "Returning to the empress's words, I thank you for your concern. Although I am pregnant, I may eat and drink. I don't have to work hard at all. Only then can I have the honor to have children for the emperor. I am a slave who cultivated in my previous life." The blessings that come, the servant dare not be careless."

Qing Ting smiled lightly and said: "It's good to be able to eat and drink. When I was pregnant, no one made me worry."

Concubine Zhen lowered her head with a smirk, and the others dared not speak easily, and they didn't know who the empress was angry with.

Concubine Qing glanced at the new concubine: "Yesterday, you were sleeping in bed. I heard that the emperor left from the empress's place."

The new concubine found out that besides Concubine Qing, there were other concubines looking at her. She thought to herself: How old is the empress now, and she is still so jealous?

Qing Ting knew what they were thinking by looking at their faces, and she also knew that her temper was not very good now, but women always go through menopause, if you hold your breath in your heart, you will get sick——

Qing Ting kindly let them go, and seeing them relieved, Qing Ting thought to herself: Am I a witch? Why are everyone so afraid of me.

The emperor came over again in the afternoon and discussed one thing with her: Eleventh and Twelfth are not young, but they grow up in the palace, even if they go to Mulan and other places, they still hug each other. There are really few people who can understand the feelings of the people. The emperor wants them Go out and have a look by yourself.

Qing Ting worried: "Let them go out by themselves, it's safe..."

The emperor said: "What are you afraid of? Even if you go outside, there are people protecting you. This elder brother will go out on business in the future. He will be sent out suddenly. He doesn't know anything. His eyes are dark. Do you want to do the court's affairs?"

The emperor made up his mind, Qing Ting had no room to object, so he had to agree.

The emperor said again: "Concubine Zhen is pregnant, I think she is not in good spirits, and her food business is poor, you should take care of her."

Qing Ting agreed, and said: "Sister Zhenzhen is also the same. I asked her how she was doing this morning and asked her to pay more attention to rest. She said that she can eat and drink, and she is in good spirits. Come to greet my concubine The concubine heard it, and I saw that she looked good, so I thought it was true.

In this way, to be honest with me, I will also spare her greetings. Since I became a queen, not to mention concubines in the palace, even nobles who are pregnant, I take good care of them. Why are you being polite to me? My face was so hideous that she dared not speak. "

The emperor frowned and said, "Can you take the imperial physician's medicine on time?"

"Didn't the imperial doctor say that it's not a big problem. You can take the medicine when you want to take it, and forget it if you don't want to take it."

"Who in this world wants to take medicine"

The two elder brothers were very excited. Finally, they didn't go out with Huang Ama and Huang Erniang. Although they didn't receive any errands, Huang Ama said that you can't just know about palaces, towers and pavilions. of.

The emperor had already found a place for them to go, and the two children ran to where innocently and enthusiastically, Jinghai County

Aunt Rong was reluctant to beat and scold her own children, let alone the empress's children. In her eyes, it was just one word - well, I wish I could worship them as gods.But the emperor and empress always make their children suffer, and she was very reluctant to bear it. This time, seeing the emperor and empress took her outside the palace again. The two elder brothers are so grown up, and they never go out without hugging each other, and they never leave The emperor and empress were around for more than two hours.It’s always good to be at home, but it’s difficult to go out for a while. What if the two elder brothers eat something bad outside, catch cold, catch heat, or get sick? They are still children and don’t know how to take care of themselves.In the eyes of Rong Rong, they will always be children, especially Yong Xing, who is loved to the bone by her.

The two brothers left the palace excitedly, and Nanny Rong couldn't eat well and sleep well in the palace, she was more anxious than their two nanny, she endured it for two days, she really couldn't help it.

Nanny Rong found a chance when no one was around, and asked the queen in a low voice: "Where did the two little elder brothers go? This old slave thought, it depends on the people's sentiments. Usually, the emperor often takes the two little elder brothers out of the palace. Looking around, you can also investigate the sentiments of the people. After all, the two elder brothers are young. If they go far away, it will be worrying. Master Queen, you can find out with the old slave. Where are the two little elder brothers going? ?” This is also for the safety of the two elder brothers, and the place to go is not known to others.

Qing Ting smiled wryly and said, "I didn't run very far, I went to Tianjin."

"Tianjin?" Mother Rong thought to herself: What are you going to do in Tianjin, where is there anything to do.But after all, Tianjin is next to Beijing, and the cost of food and clothing is not much different from that of Beijing, and it is easy to come back. The two elder brothers should not suffer much.

"I went to Jinghai County." Qing Ting shook her head. Now the two pampered princes have suffered a lot, and let them know that there are still no crops in this world, and the landlords don't have a few crops a year. A place to eat.

"Jinghai County?!" Nanny Rong's expression suddenly changed. What is this?

Mother Rong has never been to the place, but there are quite a few eunuchs from Jinghai County in the palace.There are rules in the palace, palace maids and eunuchs are not allowed to whisper in non-official duties, and Nanny Rong will not go to the eunuchs to ask the eunuchs where they are from and what the place is like, but a place with eunuchs is by no means a life. The place.

But the queen said: "It's okay, let them know that there are times when the people are struggling so close to the emperor's feet." Not to mention the disaster year, the place is not much better even in normal times. Can the saline-alkali land grow crops?Qing Ting used to read casual books, and saw someone saying that the daughters of the landlords in that place had eloped with the cloth dealers, tsk tsk, what kind of landlord's daughter can be seduced by a few pieces of low-grade cloth, one can imagine what kind of place this is .

Having said that, she was still a little worried. Before, she asked some court ladies and eunuchs how life was at home. There was an eunuch who came from Zhenhai. When he talked about the situation at home, it was sad to hear.

Yuyu was deep, Qing Ting looked at the moonlight outside the window but did not enter the dormitory for a long time, took off her makeup and stood in front of the window to look at the moon, thinking in her heart: I don’t know what the two brothers are eating today, where they sleep at night, The bed outside must be uncomfortable to sleep in. Fortunately, the emperor could figure out that place.Forget it, they have enjoyed too much, and they just need exercise.Emperor, don't you want to send their brothers overseas next time.

Qing Ting was thinking about what would happen if they went abroad in the future. The two brothers slept soundly on the hard bed in the small hotel. They were not used to this bed, they were all tired. Fortunately, they went to a training camp after a while. , physical and mental qualities are strong enough.
