A palace full of cannon fodder reads my heart, and ladies are killing each other indiscriminately

"Li Cairen has had a miscarriage, so I am naturally sad, but I am even more afraid that Zhao Zhao will be sad."

He took a step forward, hugged her slender body, and looked down at her skin, which had been getting better and better recently.

His heart palpitated for a while, and he stared at her deeply.

Concubine Zhao pretended not to notice his lustful eyes and smiled shyly.

"Your Majesty knows how to make me happy." He lowered his eyebrows with a sad expression: "It's a pity. Originally, I had a hard time asking the Emperor to agree to let the child in Li Cairen's belly be raised in Chenghuan Palace, but the result..."

She sighed, sadness lingering on her brows.

The emperor's eyes flashed with a hint of guilt.

Li Cairen had a miscarriage, and it was he who had his hands moved.

He didn't want to bring up Li Cairen's miscarriage anymore, so he changed the topic to Gu Ruoruan.

"Ruanruan has been outside the palace recently. I heard that she went to Zhuangzi with General Zhang. I didn't expect that time passed so quickly. Ruanruan has grown up all of a sudden. Since she fell into the water, she has become well-behaved."

He sighed and said: "I still remember that she always loved to act coquettishly in my arms. Ever since she fell into the water, she seemed to have become sensible all of a sudden, and she no longer likes to get into my arms."

Concubine Zhao lowered her eyebrows and sighed: "Your Majesty didn't tell me, I really didn't find out."

Dai Mei frowned slightly: "Since Ruanruan fell into the water, she has often been awakened by nightmares at night."

"Even my concubines are not bothered much. Look at that little heartless one. He has been out of the palace for so long. He didn't come to see me when he saw me yesterday. After staying for a while, he ran out of the palace again."

The emperor's face froze and he comforted softly: "It's normal for children to like to play when they are older."

He suppressed the suspicion in his heart and remembered that Gu Ruoruan and Gu Huaizheng were playing together.

Everyone knew that the bastard Prince Regent was famous for being arrogant and domineering in the capital, but he didn't expect to be able to play with Ruanruan.

Thinking of Gu Huaizheng, he still suspected that the regent deliberately left Gu Huaizheng in the general's mansion.

The spies sent back the news that General Zhang was very fond of Gu Huaizheng and even taught him riding and shooting in Zhuangzi.

Therefore, he had the idea of ​​​​Zhang Shaoqing and wanted Zhang Shaoqing to teach Gu Huaiyu.

After all, Gu Huaiyu is his optimistic future heir.

"I have been thinking that now that the border war has subsided, it is all due to the contributions of your father and brother. I...how should I reward you Zhang family."

Take back your mind.

The emperor stared at Concubine Zhao's delicate face, feeling a little dazed for a moment.

If only the Zhang family were not so powerful, he might be able to continue doting on her like this.

"Your Majesty, you are the emperor. Whatever reward you want, my father and brother will happily accept it."

Concubine Zhao looked indifferent: "The emperor said this on purpose in front of my concubines today, right? In fact, he had already thought about how to reward father and brother. Right?"

The emperor pinched the tip of her straight nose: "Zhao Zhao is right, I have indeed thought about how to reward your father and brother, but there is one thing you didn't expect...that is, I plan to make you the imperial concubine and co-manage the Sixth Palace on behalf of the empress. power."

"Really? Your Majesty, you didn't lie to me?"

Concubine Zhao looked surprised, shook his arm and asked.

The emperor laughed loudly: "Of course it's true. Zhaozhao, you will always be the most important in my heart. The queen has always been weak and is unwell from time to time. As for my thoughts, you should be able to understand to some extent if you are so smart, right? "

Concubine Zhao raised her lips and smiled charmingly: "Of course I know my position in your heart, Your Majesty."

With a charming smile on his face, he had already seen through the emperor's little thoughts.

Didn't he just want her to fight the queen to the death?

The queen wanted to win over her Zhang family, and the emperor wanted to use her Zhang family to deal with the Wen family. There was no one in this palace who didn't have an exquisite heart.

The better she got to know the emperor, the more Concubine Zhao disliked him.

Even the thought of humiliating myself and pretending to be affectionate with him makes me feel sick.

No wonder the queen was so cruel that he couldn't give birth.

The queen has already taken action, so of course she will also make people work harder. After the emperor has completely fallen asleep, she will add a little spice, as if she is reciprocating his deep love and loyalty over the years.

"I plan to let Ruanruan move in with other princesses." The emperor looked at Concubine Zhao's face with a smile, trying to get some clues from her face.

Concubine Zhao smiled sweetly. Did the emperor test her once and not give in? Would he test her a second time?

"Ruanruan is already four years old. Although according to the ancestral rules, you can only move out of the concubine's palace when you are five years old, but since the emperor has said so, there is no harm in moving there."

Concubine Zhao said considerately: "Besides, Ruanruan has a turbulent temper now, and my concubine has to share your worries for you, the emperor. I will definitely not have much time to take care of her in the future."

"Besides, my father is worried that Ruanruan will be lonely in the palace. As long as the emperor allows it, he can let Ruanruan live in the palace for a while and then live outside the palace for a while."

Concubine Zhao took the opportunity to make her request, with a bit of pleading between her brows: "My father is already old. I'm afraid I can't afford to go to the border to take care of my father's worries. Why don't we just fulfill my father's request to live a long life and have children and grandchildren."

"Let Ruanruan go out of the palace to fulfill your filial piety instead of my concubine, okay?"

After hearing Concubine Zhao's words, the emperor's face showed a hint of joy.

So, General Zhang is planning to retire, or...is planning to give up the military power in his hands.

He quickly suppressed the joy that had just appeared on his face: "Well, it's just Concubine Yi Ai's."

"Ruan Ruan is young, and the people serving around her may not be dedicated. I'll have someone pick a few more reliable people to send her to."

"It all depends on the emperor's arrangements." Concubine Zhao said respectfully.

Concubine Zhao agreed so easily, which made the emperor even more suspicious. He stared at her with a deep gaze for a long time, as if he wanted to read her thoughts from her face.

Concubine Zhao blinked at him, with a look of ignorance on her face: "Your Majesty, why are you looking at me like this?"

"It's nothing, I just think Zhao Zhao seems to be looking better."

The emperor speaks from his heart.

Concubine Zhao is now so radiant that people can't help but want to take a second look.

Concubine Zhao smiled shyly and nudged him.

The emperor felt hot in his heart, so he held her hand, picked her up and walked to the couch.

……

On the fifth day of May, General Zhang celebrates his 70th birthday.

The general's mansion is like a city.

The Zhang family has long received orders from the palace. Today Concubine Zhao is going back to the General's Mansion to pay birthday wishes to General Zhang. This is the emperor's way of showing his favor to the Zhang family.

At almost noon, there was finally movement outside the door. Everyone in the Zhang family stood at the gate waiting for Concubine Zhao to return.

Even those who came to pay their birthdays and wanted to take the opportunity to climb the big tree of the Zhang family stood at the door, hoping to catch a glimpse of the emperor's most beloved Concubine Zhao.

Gu Ruoruan happily ran to the door and stood beside General Zhang under Yunzhi's care.

Standing on the other side was Gu Huaizheng. Gu Huaizheng's face was flushed. He was obviously happy to see Concubine Zhao again.
