[Rebirth] Sovereign and ministers get along

Yue Yu sneaked back to the palace with his sword guards, not Yuanqing Palace or Jingning Palace, but Ningfang Palace.

The green willows are Yinyin, and the lotuses are fighting for fragrance.

On a soft couch by the water, a concubine-colored robe with gold and phoenix embroidered patterns, a delicate beauty leaning sideways and half asleep, closing her eyes and feigning sleep.

Yue Yu went straight into Ningfang Hall, sat on the upper chair of the grand master, looked at the beauty in the court, his thin lips moved slightly.

"Wait for me to change clothes."

The cold and calm voice pierced into her ears. Empress Lian slowly opened her eyes, rinsed her mouth with tea, and was served by the maid of honor after eating two lychees. Fangdian.

The skirt swayed, and Jinfeng nodded.

Empress Lian bowed to greet the emperor, and raised her hand to signal the female officer to help Lian to sit down. Yue Yu glanced over the swaying step and settled on Lian's slightly raised belly: "How are you?"

"Your Majesty is concerned..." Lian smiled lightly, "The imperial doctor just asked for a safe pulse this morning, and everything is fine for my concubine."

"En." Yue Yu gave a flat hum and stopped talking, just lowered his eyes and sipped his tea.

Empress Lian was seated under the emperor's head supported by the female officer, and motioned the female officer to find the emperor's dragon robe: "Your Majesty is out of the palace again?"

"Go and burn a stick of incense to Yin Yu."

Empress Lian smiled lightly: "Master Shen is with you?"

Yue Yu raised his eyebrows, noncommittal.

Empress Lian casually chewed the chopped walnuts: "I went to pay my respects to my mother, and happened to see a familiar little eunuch, who seemed to be from His Majesty's palace."

"I'm going to drink tea in the mother's harem."

"Your Majesty should also be more careful. Sometimes, the holy favor is the knife that kills..." Empress Lian's voice was soft, her tone was unhurried, with a bit of casualness, "No one dares to hurt Your Majesty, but Lord Shen It's being watched by countless pairs of eyes."

"Queen, don't worry..." The corners of his slightly raised lips were slightly disdainful, and Yue Yu said happily and angrily, "I won't let anyone touch him."

"People who come from a scholarly family must always care about their reputation..." Empress Lian raised her eyebrows, and finally broke her indifferent expression, "Forget it, Your Majesty's wisdom is in your hands, so there is no need for ministers and concubines to worry about it."

"Heh!" Yue Yu chuckled and changed the subject, "I heard from Pengju that the Empress often rode horses outside the pass to hunt when she was young."

"Well, at that time, the concubine and Fei Geer were still living in Liangzhou with their father..." As if recalling the carefree years outside the customs, the expression on Queen Lian's face was much more vivid, "Say something inappropriate Now, my concubine also wants to go hunting on horseback, although the border is bitterly cold, but I don’t know how much more comfortable it is than enjoying flowers and moon in this deep palace.”

"..."

It is not a rumor that the emperor and the empress are in harmony. The Empress Lian knows her love and interests, which is very suitable for Yue Yu's heart.

In such a huge harem, Yue Yu was only willing to hold her, not only to stabilize the harem, but also to calm the Empress Dowager's heart and cover Shen Lanqing from the wind and rain.

Half a month ago, Empress Lian was ordered by the Empress Dowager to find the emperor, breaking through the ambiguous entanglement between Yue Yu and Shen Lanqing in the quiet room.

Empress Lian also simply left the quiet room without changing her face, and immediately found a group of maids who accompanied her with a cane.

Afterwards, Empress Lian didn't hide it any more, and directly pointed out to Yue Yu: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, my concubine has always known that there is no fate between holy favor and concubine..."

"From the day when I learned that I was going to enter the palace, my concubine thought that when I entered the palace, I could just sit firmly in the middle palace, and let others fight for the grace. Enze..." As she spoke, Empress Lian stroked her lower abdomen, "I let my concubine become pregnant with a dragon seed. Now my concubine has no other wish. No matter if it is a son or a daughter, I will never have to worry about someone to accompany my concubine to relieve my boredom." That's enough."

"To put it bluntly, the majesty's love for Mr. Shen is more reassuring than any concubine in the harem. At least you don't have to worry about Mr. Shen plotting behind your back to spoil your concubine's pure life."

Break it apart and crush it, Queen Lian has just one idea, she doesn't have the heart to compete for favor, she just wants to give birth to a son, and now the son is already in the stomach, if nothing else, her son is designated as both the first wife and the eldest daughter. , as long as she doesn't make a big mistake, no one in the harem can shake her position.

Your Majesty, you fall in love with Shen Lanqing, and it really doesn't matter to her. On the contrary, she just hopes that His Majesty will only have Master Shen in his heart from now on who won't be idle and trouble her.

The harem is clean, so she can feel at ease, right?

Since then, Yue Yu has become more and more "attentive" to Empress Lian's family, ranging from a tribute to Fanbang to a bowl of supper in the Yuan and Qing Palaces, and they have been rewarded into Ningfang Palace one after another.

Empress Lian reciprocated, so she often made some vegetarian tonic soup, and sent it to Yuanqing Palace at the most eye-catching time.

The Empress Dowager had a lot of good things to say to her predecessor, but when Yue Yu sneaked out of the palace to meet Shen Lanqing, she often covered up for Yue Yu.

The emperor and the empress are not like husband and wife, but more like confidants.

The emperor and the empress were gossiping about the family affairs, and the female officer of the empress Lian's family had already waited on Yue Yu to change into the dragon robe deftly.

Gu Dongming, who was guarding the Yuanqing Palace, rushed all the way after receiving the letter from the sword guard, and arrived outside the Ningfang Hall panting, pretending to raise his voice to deliver a message for the Queen Mother: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother invites you to drink tea in Yuanqing Palace."

Jingning Palace.

The Empress Dowager Zhou was fiddling with the white jade teacup with downcast eyes, with a smile on her lips, her expression was peaceful and peaceful.

On the tea stove, the water has boiled three times.

A pot of tea has been brewed and poured, the tea soup has almost lost its color, and has long lost its due aroma, but the Empress Dowager Zhou did not replace it with a spoonful of new tea.

The air bubbles at the bottom of the pot were strung together again. The Empress Dowager Zhou poured out the brewed tea soup slowly, lifted the kettle, and refilled the teapot.

After steeping for a while, Mrs. Zhou scalded two teacups, hung the pot and nodded three times, put two full cups of tea at hand, did not drink, just quietly stared at the curling water vapor rising from the teacups.

This time, before the water vapor disappeared, the servants singing in harmony came from outside the hall.

Empress Dowager Zhou raised her eyes, saw Yue Yu greeted her, and pushed a teacup to Yue Yu's hand: "The emperor came at the right time, the temperature is just right, taste how it tastes."

"The tea made by the queen mother is not bad..." Yue Yu took a sip of the tea that was no different from plain boiled water, and praised without changing his face, "The fragrance on the lips and teeth, good tea."

"If the emperor waits a while before coming back..." Empress Dowager Zhou also took a sip of tea and moistened her throat, "It tastes even better."

Yue Yu raised his eyebrows: "How dare the son delay when the mother summons her?"

"The emperor is pure filial piety, and the Ai family is very pleased..." The Queen Mother Zhou gently stroked the golden ring on the tail finger of her right hand with her left index finger. There is a movement in the stomach, the emperor will no longer just stay in the Yuanqing Palace to attend to political affairs like last night, and go to the harem to rest in the middle of the night, continuation of the heir is not a trivial matter."

"Son remembered."

It was night, the emperor really left the imperial study early, returned to the harem, and stayed in the bedroom of Empress Lian of Ningfang Palace.

The next day, the seventh day of July, Qixi Festival.

In the night sky, the stars twinkle and form a river.

Before the two stars facing each other across the river converged, the emperor who was supposed to stay in the queen's bedroom had already left the palace.

After circling Dongcheng twice, a pair of incomparably exquisite Mohele appeared in the emperor's sleeves.

Looking up at the streets extending in all directions, Yue Yu rubbed the tip of his nose, took out the whistle, and blew several times of varying lengths.

At that time, Shen Lanqing was sorting out the books that had been dried in the sun with her father, Shen Shuo.

It turned out that the second uncle Shen Rui was also helping in the study.

It's just that it took a long time, and I couldn't bear the strong smell of paper and ink, and wanted to stick around in front of Shen Shuo, and rolled my eyes, Shen Rui took advantage of Shen Shuo's inattention, puffed up his face and held his breath, and grabbed Picking up the booklet, without sorting it, it was thrown into the bookshelf with a crackling sound.

Fast is fast, and neat is pretty neat, but the book is scattered in several volumes.

Shen Shuo raised his eyes, saw the knife, and sent Shen Ruifa to Huifeng Hall with a word of lightness, to accompany Shen Shangkun, who had finally calmed down his bad temper, to see his son.

The little monkey Zhanqing fiddled with a small wooden board used by some aunt for raising a child. Holding the small wooden board full of inch-long corn seedlings, he staggered into the study: "Father, brother, radish seedlings!"

The radish seedlings dipped in sauce, Zhanqing's little monkey didn't think it was too spicy, he remembered it in his heart after eating it once, and when he saw the inch-long green shoots, he babbled about the radish seedlings.

Shen Lanqing laughed, and flicked the little monkey's forehead with her fingers: "If you want to eat radish seedlings, tell your mother that you are not allowed to look for them by yourself."

Zhanqing's little monkey flattened his mouth and didn't make a sound, just staring at the green corn seedlings on the small wooden board and swallowing his saliva.

The whistle rang again, and the shameless monarch had already threatened him with his identity.

Shen Lanqing arranged the several historical records at hand in order and put them on the bookshelf: "Father, I have to go out."

Shen Shuo raised his eyes, his eyes seemed to be clear and completely unaware, the deep meaning was really elusive.

In any case, Shen Shuo didn't stop him, but just said: "Take Tinghai with you."

Since Shen Rui's return, Shen Tinghai is no longer the same Shen Tinghai as before.

No matter how infatuated he was with the heartless swordsman, he would not dare to cover for the apprentice of the heartless swordsman under the nose of his adoptive father to moleste his own foster father's nephew.

Shen Tinghai was serious, staring at Shen Lanqing and Yue Yu without blinking.

Yue Yu raised his brows, stuffed the pair of miniature and delicate Mohele in his sleeve into the purse on Shen Lanqing's wrist, grabbed Shen Lanqing's hand, and walked towards the Geng Mansion.

Although Geng's Mansion is also in Dongcheng, one is in the south and the other is in the north of Duke Wei's Mansion, in completely opposite directions.

The corner of Shen Lanqing's mouth twitched, and he asked with a smile, "Your Majesty wants to see Zizheng?"

"..." Yue Yu paused slightly, squeezed the wrist in his palm and snorted softly, "Shen Qing, don't lead the way yet."

Shen Lanqing smiled lightly, turned around and dragged the emperor back to Duke Wei's mansion.

Shen Tinghai stood behind the two of them, thinking uninterruptedly: "Hey! Brother Lan, don't bring such ones!"

"Brother Lan, you should cover it up a bit. If you are so affectionate, if it gets into the ears of your adoptive father, I will die..."

"Hey! Daxia Yun is his apprentice, he is only allowed to shake his little hands, not to lick the corners of his mouth!"

"..."

With Shen Tinghai, a conscientious and conscientious flower, Yue Yu stayed in the Guiyuan of Duke Wei's Mansion, but in fact, he only slept with Shen Lanqing on the same bed.

However, on the seventh day of July, he just wanted to sleep on the same bed with Shen Lanqing.

The next day, after Shen Lanqing was on duty, he had just left the gate of Yuanqing and took two steps towards the duty room when he was stopped by an old servant with a wrinkled face and a smile so blind: "Master Shen, the Queen Mother please You go to Jingning Palace."
