Because he was going to see the Queen Mother, Xiao Chen's body was tense along the way, no matter how Lu Chen teased him, Xiao Chen's brows were always frowning.
Lu Chen couldn't tell Xiao Chen that the Empress Dowager was actually a dummy, so he couldn't really make Xiao Chen relax, so he could only hold his hand and talk to comfort him.
No matter what happens, he will be by Xiao Chen's side.
When we arrived at the Palace of Compassion and Ning, the Empress Dowager was taking Aunt Wang and others to wait on the flowers and plants. Today was a rare and bright day in early winter. The Empress Dowager smiled gently, with slight wrinkles appearing at the corners of her eyes.
If the real empress dowager hadn't passed away, she would probably be enjoying the flowers and talking and laughing with her old sisters like she is now.
It's just that there is no if in reality.
The stand-in's attitude towards Xiao Chen was unfamiliar, and he wasn't close, but he didn't feel disgusted either. This attitude made Xiao Chen relax a lot, and he was no longer as tense as on the road.
Lu Chen heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this, and it was not in vain for him to let the system be set up like this early in the morning.
"Since you have a bosom friend, then get along well and don't hang out with those miscellaneous people who don't know the so-called." The queen mother put the teacup on the table, covered her red lips with a handkerchief and coughed a few times.
Lu Chen hypocritically said: "Why is your mother coughing? Did the imperial doctor ask for a Ping'an pulse this morning?"
Aunt Wang replied from the side: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has been coughing for the past few days. Doctor Zhang did not find out the reason after taking the pulse."
"If Doctor Zhang can't find out, then find another doctor." Lu Chen's tone was a little harsh, and he said with concern: "I still hope that my mother will take good care of my body. The health of your phoenix body is the most important thing to me!"
"You have a heart." The Queen Mother put down the handkerchief, her voice was much gentler.
The two looked at each other affectionately, and what they saw was a touching scene of a mother's kindness and filial piety.
However, only they know what they think in their hearts.
After meeting the Queen Mother, Lu Chen took Xiao Chen to the Imperial Garden.
Speaking of which, after the two got together, Lu Chen didn't spend time with his boyfriend. Apart from work, he stayed in the Ganquan Palace every day.
The winter in Dayan Kingdom is still very cold, and the pond in the Imperial Garden is covered with a thin layer of ice.
"A Xiao, can you skate?" Lu Chen said suddenly, "I have a house in the suburbs, and every winter it freezes three feet thick. If you are interested, I will take you there after the ice freezes this year."
The founding emperor of the Great Yan Dynasty was born outside the Guan, where the cold winter was very long. His ancestors used ice skating as an essential military skill, and his original suburban house was dedicated to skating.
The last time Yuanshang went to play there was when he was about ten years old. He sat on a wooden bed and let his servants drag him to slide on the ice.
Lu Chen skated in the last world for so many years, and he still misses it when he is free.
Xiao Chen had no interest in skating, but he was satisfied as long as he was with Lu Chen, so he nodded.
Lu Chen bent his eyes and said with a smile: "Then we've agreed."
***
After all, there were not many leisurely days like before, Lu Chen was drowned in a pile of memorials in the imperial study for several days in a row, and the time spent with Xiao Chen was drastically compressed.
This made Lu Chen extremely depressed, and even made him feel a headache. It's been almost a month, and his boyfriend's voice has not shown any signs of improvement.
"System, the medicine is said to be gradual, but it's been almost a month, why hasn't there even been a sound?" Lu Chen frowned and asked.
He asked Xiao Chen how his throat felt after taking it two days ago, but Xiao Chen just shook his head silently.
System: [Made in the mall, absolutely high-quality products, please don't doubt the medicines in the mall, counting according to the course of treatment, Mr. Xiao can already pronounce syllables at this time. 】
[If there is no reaction after taking it, please ask the host to pay more attention to the patient's psychological condition, and lead the patient to actively face his illness. 】
In other words, his A Xiao did it because he didn't believe that his voice could be good?
Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, and then fell into an even more distressed abyss.
He is the worst at comforting people, what should we do? !I'm used to kissing and hugging, and I don't know if it's still useful.
Before Lu Chen could take action, a major event happened in the palace.
The birth mother of the Holy Majesty, the most noble woman in the world, the empress dowager is dying, and all the imperial doctors in the imperial hospital concluded that the empress dowager has no cure and is powerless to recover.
As the empress dowager's own son, Lu Chen didn't even return to the Ganquan Palace. Except for the early court, he served in the Compassionate Palace all the time.
Recently, the emperor promulgated several policies to benefit the people, and the people's reputation for His Majesty has gradually improved. Because of his behavior of serving his biological mother, the Emperor quickly became highly respected by the people, which was unexpected.
Lu Chen didn't know that the people's favor towards him continued to increase, he only knew that because the doll was about to expire, he couldn't rest well, and he had to pretend to be distraught.
Ah, there was no need to pretend, because the fact that he couldn't rest well was enough for him.
The dark circles under the eyes are darkened.
The Empress Dowager was skinny, every time she coughed, she wanted to cough up her lungs. The maid beside her was holding a spittoon, and there were patches of blood in the spittoon, which was coughed up by the Empress Dowager.
Lu Chen walked over, put his hands on her back, and pacified her. His eyes seemed to be soaked in water, and his face was full of grief, which made the surrounding maids turn red.
Aunt Wang was sobbing beside her.
That night, the Empress Dowager passed away.
White cloth filial curtains and elegiac couplets have been hung in the palace. For three days after the end of the court, concubines and maids in the palace are prohibited from wearing colorful clothes for one month, and all entertainment activities among the people are suspended for one week.
The Great Yan Dynasty paid attention to the safety of burying the dead, and the time for the dead to rest was only three days, and all the etiquettes were simple. Generally speaking, the emperor only needed to keep watch for the queen mother on the first day.
But Lu Chen felt that since he occupied the body of his son, he would have to keep a three-day vigil for the Queen Mother, even though the cause of the Queen Mother's death was not known to outsiders.
However, it is undeniable that the Queen Mother also has a motherly heart, otherwise, she would not have personally killed her son after her death.
For three whole days, Lu Chen stood guard in front of the Queen Mother's coffin, and spent most of the time dealing with political affairs, so he was really tired.
When he came out of the mourning hall, Lu Chen couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. When he looked up at the sky, he suddenly realized that the sky of Dayan Dynasty was so blue.
Back at Ganquan Palace, when he saw Xiao Chen dressed in white and with an unmistakable demeanor, Lu Chen really felt like coming home, he was exhausted and finally had a place to confide in.
"A Xiao." Lu Chen just said, but before he said anything, the next second, he began to suspect that there was something wrong with his ears.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty."
Lu Chen's eyes were slightly rounded, his peach eyes were full of shock, he didn't hide his excitement, he grabbed Xiao Chen's wrist and said, "Ah Xiao, can you talk now?"
Xiao Chen's lips trembled a little, and he still repeated the words Your Majesty.
Because he hadn't spoken for a long time, Xiao Chen's accent was a bit strange, but he read it well, as if these two words were engraved in his heart, his tone became more and more gentle, and his cold voice reached Lu Chen's ears Here, the hand holding Xiao Chen couldn't help but tighten.
"Ah Xiao, when will you be able to speak?" Lu Chen has been dealing with the Empress Dowager's affairs for the past few days, so he doesn't even know when Xiao Chen will be able to speak.
He suddenly felt that he didn't care much about his boyfriend.
Xiao Chen opened his mouth, but the words he spit out were somewhat unclear. Afterwards, he gave up speaking and took a brush from the side to write down what happened.
Before he could write, Lu Chen stopped him, "I want to hear what you have to say, can you tell me?"
Xiao Chen looked at Lu Chen, and after a while, he bent his eyes, his eyes were full of tenderness.
Time passed little by little, and Lu Chen also explained what happened after his boyfriend stumbled and stumbled.
Xiao Chen didn't realize that he could speak at first, since Lu Chen went to serve the sick in the Empress Dowager's palace, the Ganquan Palace became quiet.
He is a person who can endure loneliness, but after getting used to Lu Chen's aura and enthusiasm like the scorching sun, Xiao Chen seemed to be missing something if he didn't see him for a day.
As the days passed, Xiao Chen missed Lu Chen more and more.Especially when he heard that the emperor had been busy for a few days and didn't close his eyes, Xiao Chen wanted to go to the Palace of Compassion and Peace for himself.
But no, Lu Chen already had the reputation of a tyrant, if he went to see Lu Chen, there might be people in the palace who spread rumors that the emperor's biological mother was seriously ill and still did not forget to fall in love with his male favorite.
When he had breakfast two days ago, he inadvertently said the word Your Majesty. Originally, he was just wondering if His Majesty had eaten. syllables.
The two words Lu Chen heard at the beginning were already the result of Xiao Chen's continuous training.
"Ah Xiao has worked hard."
Lu Chen's lips trembled, his heart was filled with emotion, but he didn't know what to say, so he only uttered such a superficial sentence.
Xiao Chen shook his head, he approached Lu Chen, and rubbed his forehead, "Your Majesty, don't be sad."
Hearing this, Lu Chen hummed.
The two intertwined their fingers, quietly enjoying a moment of tranquility.
It has been more than a week since the Queen Mother passed away, and the palace also ate vegetarian food for more than a week.
On this day, the men and concubines in the harem who lived as before received a decree.
"Following the fate of the heavens, the emperor ordered that all the ministers do their duty faithfully and protect the lives of the officials in the palace. Goodness, now the title of baron in Er and other counties is specially granted, and they can enjoy [-] acres of land. They can leave the palace on their own, and admire this."
The male and female concubines were stunned when they received the order, and even suspected that they were dreaming.
"Li Wei, did I hear you right? Can I leave the palace now?" A man said in a daze.
Li Wei also couldn't believe it, he took the hand of the father-in-law who announced the decree: "We can really leave the palace?"
The father-in-law smiled and said: "My lord Baron, how can the emperor's holy words be wrong?"
"You should be rewarded for guarding the order in the palace. The emperor Shengming specially gave you titles and lands. The barons should be happy!"
That's right, in order to send all the former concubines out of the palace, Lu Chen deliberately changed the names of these male concubines, saying that the reason for their entry into the palace was to be guards, to give them a place to live and work, and a place where they would not be easily bullied. low title.
As long as these people go back and live a good life without being monsters, they will definitely live more comfortably than most people in the world.
"Eunuch, may I ask why the emperor asked us to leave?" Concubine Dun, who thought that she really liked her majesty, stepped forward, her face full of horror, unlike the surprises of other concubines.
The father-in-law had heard some rumors. Seeing the concubine's pitiful expression, he hesitated and hinted, "The current sage is pure filial piety, and I am afraid that he must obey the Queen Mother's orders."
When the Empress Dowager was still alive, she once said that Her Majesty should not get involved with others, and treat the person she likes well. Because of this sentence, the Emperor must not send these concubines out?
Before Concubine Dun figured it out, the concubines behind were running to pack up their things and leave the harem. Concubine Dun was reluctant to leave, but he was smart enough to know that if he didn't leave, what was waiting for him might be the emperor's anger. He won't get any benefit at all!
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and she couldn't vent, so Concubine Dun could only swallow her grievances.
***
Knowing that the concubines in the harem had left all morning, Lu Chen was delighted. Sure enough, no one in this man-eating harem wanted to stay any longer.
After being happy, Lu Chen died.
He still has to stay in the harem with his family A Xiao for a long time. Lu Chen himself said that his family A Xiao is only in his teens.
Just as he was thinking about it, someone outside reported the names of five people. Lu Chen was taken aback for a moment, and then beamed with joy.
Five gentlemen!
The Five Gentlemen whom he always misses!
His mace to kill the left and right prime ministers is coming!
Lu Chen couldn't tell Xiao Chen that the Empress Dowager was actually a dummy, so he couldn't really make Xiao Chen relax, so he could only hold his hand and talk to comfort him.
No matter what happens, he will be by Xiao Chen's side.
