[Qing] Empress Xiao Chengren Reborn

When Xuan Ye came, the chefs in the small kitchen had already prepared the meals.

In addition to ordering the small kitchen to prepare Xuan Ye's favorite dishes, Zhu Jin also specially ordered the small kitchen to prepare an extra bowl of porridge for Xuan Ye. Seeing Xuan Ye coming in, she hurriedly smiled and beckoned him to sit down: "It's a coincidence that the emperor came, my minister." My concubine has just ordered the kitchen to prepare some meals, and I also prepared some for the emperor, the emperor should hurry up and use it while it is hot!"

When Xuan Ye came, the dining table was already full of meals, Zhu Jin had already lowered her head and started eating after saying this, so she didn't notice the unhappy look on Xuan Ye's face.

Xuanye was really hungry. He didn't eat anything during the banquet. Those dishes looked good, but they didn't taste very good when they were eaten. Moreover, after a long time, not to mention the hot dishes were all cold. Even those soups were cold, and they were still dripping with oil, so they couldn't drink at all. Even though a pot was added later, because it was getting late, he didn't have much appetite, so he just ate a few mouthfuls of meat from the leg of lamb. , just drank a few sips of sake.

Later, he went to the Palace of Compassion and Ning, so he didn't care about his hunger. After all, he still forgot that he hadn't eaten anything at all. When he came to the Palace of Compassion, he could smell the aroma of food all over the room as soon as he entered the room. Only then did Ye realize that he was starving.

After eating the pearl brocade for a long time, seeing Xuan Ye had been stunned for a long time without moving his chopsticks, she raised her eyes to look at him in surprise, and only then saw the coldness shrouded in Xuan Ye's brows, her heart moved, only then did she remember that Xuan Ye was from When the Compassionate Palace came back, he immediately asked in a low voice: "Did the Empress Dowager force the Emperor to seal up the harem?"

Zhu Jin didn't think it was a big deal at all, and didn't know what to worry about, so she continued, "Actually, it's not impossible to seal the harem. The emperor chooses a day to seal it. What a great influence, it is not impossible to make the Empress Dowager and her elders happy!"

Xuan Ye didn't want to talk about sealing the harem, so he just smiled and said: "The Empress Dowager is not in good health and needs to rest, maybe you won't need you to bring the concubine to pay her respects in the future, so you can rest in Kunning Palace with peace of mind." Baby, the Empress Dowager will be taken care of by Aunt Su Ma and the imperial physician, so you don't need to worry about it."

Zhu Jin was startled: "Is the Empress Dowager sick?"

Zhujin's question was not answered. After Xuanye finished speaking, he lowered his head and began to drink the porridge. Seeing Xuanye's expression of not wanting to answer, Zhujin didn't ask any more questions. Nodding his head, he agreed, but he was guessing in his heart, maybe Xuanye had another unpleasant quarrel with Xiaozhuang because of the matter of sealing the harem, maybe this time the quarrel was a bit serious, Xiaozhuang refused to see Xuanye again, not even with him see her.

After Xuan Ye was full, his expression became much better than before. He glanced at Zhu Jin and asked abruptly: "A Jin, if you don't become a queen, have you thought about what you will do now?"

Zhu Jin felt that Xuan Ye was really weird tonight, but she also knew that if she really asked Xuan Ye, she would ask for nothing if he refused to say, so she didn't even think about it, she just smiled and said: "If the concubine doesn't do it The queen, probably Ama is the one who decides to marry the concubine to a certain nobleman or clan as his wife."

In her opinion, being a queen or being the wife of the clan is the same, there is no big difference.

"That's not what I mean," Xuan Ye felt that Zhu Jin didn't understand him, so he said again, "I put it another way, what I mean is that if no one arranges your life, you can do whatever you want , then what kind of person do you most want to be and what do you want to do?"

"If no one arranges my life..." Zhu Jin thought about it seriously, "If I can do whatever I want, then I want to travel all over the mountains and rivers of Qing Dynasty!"

She said longingly, "I want to go to the westernmost part of the Qing Dynasty, and I also want to go to the northernmost part, as well as the easternmost part and the southernmost part. I want to go and have a look! Look at those clear and pure Good mountains and rivers, it’s best to be a traveler, walk and watch, write words and thoughts, stop and live for a few months when you reach a place that you think is beautiful, and then go, when you are tired, you will be in Jiangnan Buy a house, watch the sky, the rain, and the flowers, and tell my son stories about my youth when I get old! I still want to—"

When Zhu Jin said this, she suddenly paused, turned her head to look at Xuan Ye, pursed her lips in embarrassment, and said, "The concubine has forgotten her form, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

She was so happy at the moment that she forgot that it was Xuan Ye who was talking to her, and she was only rejoicing that she stopped in time, otherwise Xuan Ye would be unhappy when she heard the following words .

What she yearns for is actually very simple. What Xuan Ye said is what she wants, to live freely, to do whatever she wants, without any constraints, but unfortunately, these are always extravagant wishes.

——She didn't say the latter words, in fact, what she wanted to say was very simple, she still wanted to fall in love with someone unfettered, and then get all the love from that person, and then live with him, together through wind and rain, and laughing Together, all wishes are fulfilled together.When she gets old, she will pull her loved ones to tell her children stories about their youth.

Xuan Ye shook his head, with a smile in his eyes: "No, I think what you said is very good, and this is what I want to hear. You have been in the palace for a long time and feel bored, and you want to go out to play. Wait for you to give birth to Xiaoge. , I will take you out to play again!"

He pretended not to understand the meaning of her words, Zhu Jin also pretended not to express what she wanted in the words just now, and said with a slight smile: "Okay, the emperor made a promise to my concubine, and my concubine is waiting for the emperor to fulfill the promise."

Xuan Ye smiled and said, "A Jin, do you know what my greatest wish was when I was young?"

"I know," Zhu Jin said with a smile, "When the emperor was young, he wanted to be a good emperor, just like the late emperor. I hope to follow the example of my father and be a good emperor who is diligent in governing and loving the people. What the emperor said, my minister The concubine remembers it. The emperor taught it to Chenghu, and Chenghu also said the same thing in the past."

"That's right, I said that, and I've done the same thing these years, but," Xuan Ye said with a smile, "I've changed my mind now! If I'm not the emperor, I'd like to—"

"Your Majesty, it's better not to think about these things!"

Zhu Jin interrupted Xuan Ye with a smile, "If the emperor is not the emperor, the world will be in chaos! The emperor is the emperor, this is destined, the emperor can't think wildly! But the concubine is very curious, the emperor You said you changed your mind, what did the emperor change it to?"

Zhu Jin interrupted Xuan Ye's words, Xuan Ye was not annoyed, he just smiled and said: "You want to hear it? I won't tell you!"

He didn't intend to say it at first, and he wouldn't say something that was not a foregone conclusion.

He took Zhu Jin's hand and brought it to the couch: "It's late at night, let's settle down!"

Dong didn't wait until February, and gave birth to a little elder brother in the first month. In terms of ranking, he was Xuan Ye's sixth prince.

The sixth elder brother was born in the first lunar month, which is very auspicious and joyous in itself, Xuan Ye is also very happy, but he has not yet named the sixth elder brother, but the empress dowager, who has not shown up for a long time due to illness, passed down the decree and personally gave it to the sixth elder brother. Brother gave Mongolia the name Saiyinchahun.

Xuan Ye naturally understood in his heart that this was the Empress Dowager telling him the importance of Mongolia in a disguised form, but he had no intention of staying away from Mongolia at all. Seeing that the withdrawal of the feudal domain was imminent, he would never voluntarily give up Mongolia as an ally.

But taking this opportunity, Xuan Ye personally carried Sixth Brother to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to thank the Empress Dowager. This time he was holding the newborn Sixth Brother, but he was not rejected. Brother went in.

After seeing Xiaozhuang, the grandparents and grandchildren didn't say much, Xuanye thanked him according to the rules, Xiaozhuang just called out lightly, but when he ordered the maid to hold the sixth elder brother to look at him, Xiaozhuang's face was full of embarrassment. With a slight smile, after only looking at it for a while, Xiaozhuang was afraid of disturbing the sixth brother, so he asked the nanny to take him away.

Without the sixth elder brother here, Xiao Zhuang became indifferent. She glanced at Xuan Ye, got up and went back to the inner hall: "I'm tired, let Lagu Su Ma take the emperor out, if nothing happens in the future, The emperor doesn't have to come to my Compassionate Palace all the time."

Xuan Ye sighed, he couldn't say anything more, he could only say yes, then turned around and left the Palace of Compassion and Peace.

Aunt Su Ma saw him like this, and persuaded him: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the Empress Dowager has recovered a lot. Since she is willing to see you today, it means that it is a good thing! Don't be discouraged, Your Majesty. One day, the Empress Dowager will meet you." I understand the emperor's heart."

Xuan Ye said: "I know, please ask Aunt Su Ma to take good care of the imperial grandmother."

He watched coldly today, although the imperial grandmother pretended to be sick and said that she wanted to rest and refuse to see anyone, but from today's look, the imperial grandmother's body and spirit are still very good, it can be seen that the imperial grandmother is not depressed, and the anger returns to anger , but did not treat himself badly.

"It's natural, the emperor can rest assured, I will take good care of the empress dowager."

Xuan Ye nodded, turned around and left, he remembered that today was the day when the imperial physician gave Zhu Jin a pulse diagnosis, and he was about to go over to have a look.

Liang Jiugong followed up and said, "Your Majesty, the nanny has sent Sixth Brother back to Zhaoxiang's place."

Xuan Ye nodded and asked: "These days, are there any rumors about the Empress Dowager pretending to be sick in the palace? Did the Empress Dowager disappear to those who came to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to pay her respects?"

"Going back to the emperor, there was originally, but it was suppressed by the empress's people later,"

Liang Jiugong thought about it seriously, and then said, "Nowadays, those court ladies and eunuchs who rumored that the empress dowager was ill by the emperor have all been dealt with. No one dares to say anything more. Everyone in the palace knows that the empress dowager The empress dowager got sick from the cold. Every time people went back to the Palace of Compassion and Peace to pay their respects, they were blocked by the palace maids and eunuchs. Only Empress Lan went in to visit once, but after she came out, Empress Lan didn't say anything , even if someone asked, she still said that the Empress Dowager was ill, nothing else."

Xuan Ye curled his lips into a smile: "Concubine Lan is a smart person, she knows how to measure."

Then he looked at Liang Jiugong and smiled, "Suppressing the rumors in the palace, you have helped a lot of people in the queen, right? The queen is doing the right thing, and you are doing a good job too. You still have to keep an eye on the queen, the key now At that time, I don't want anything to happen to the queen. The front court is chaotic, but the harem cannot be chaotic."
