Reborn as King again

My relationship with He Wenliu is always indifferent. He shut himself in the Qingluan Palace, as long as it has nothing to do with Jier Yuner, he doesn't care about it.

For example, in the past few days, I have favored Jia Wanru so much. It is impossible for He Wenliu not to have heard the news. As usual, he chose to remain silent in front of me and did not make any comments.I just like He Wenliu like this, obedient, sensible, not noisy.

He Wenliu didn't ask, so naturally I wouldn't take the initiative to speak up. I just played two games of chess with him silently and didn't leave until the afternoon.

It was late autumn, the autumn wind was bleak, and the leaves of all the trees in the palace were almost falling, leaving one piece bare.On this day, after lunch, I remembered that there were several memorials that had not been reviewed, so I walked back to the imperial study.

I'm too lazy to take the emperor's chariot, I've just finished using it, and I can take a walk to digest my food.

Just as I was about to reach the entrance of the main hall of the imperial study, I saw a person in front of me bowing to me with his head on his head and saying: "I will see my father."

Taking a closer look, it turns out that the person in front is Li Chen.Li Chen has been keeping a low profile in the palace, but it's a pity that his skin really prevents him from keeping a low profile.Today Li Chen was wearing a very simple lavender palace gown, but just like that, people felt like a fairy.

"Is Shen'er looking for something with me?" I asked.

Li Chen was stunned for a moment, and then realized that he was standing at the door of the imperial study room, and quickly shook his head and said, "I'm just passing by here, my son..."

"Brother Emperor..." A timid voice came out.

It was only then that I saw Yun'er hiding behind Li Chen. She was holding Li Chen's clothes tightly with her small hands, and looked at me defensively.

I remember that He Wenliu mentioned to me that Li Chen is one of the few people Yun'er is willing to contact, so Li Chen must be playing with Yun'er in the palace.

Li Chen held Yun'er's hand, coaxing her and said, "Yun'er, say hello to Royal Father."

Yun'er shook her head vigorously, but she didn't dare to stand forward, so I didn't get annoyed. I asked Wanfu to go to the imperial study to get a cloak. Seeing that Yun'er's little face was a little red, it must have been blown by the wind. Give her a cloak to wear Should be better.

While I was waiting for Wanfu to take the cloak, I saw a phoenix marching in a mighty manner. Zhou Ling got off the phoenix chariot and was supported by the inner eunuch. He walked up to me and greeted me. Saluted and greeted, only Yun'er was still hiding behind Li Chen, dragging the hem of her clothes.

Seeing that I didn't say anything about it, Zhou Ling didn't pretend he didn't see it.

"Why is the emperor standing at the door?" Zhou Ling asked with a smile.

"I asked Wanfu to fetch a cloak for Yun'er, lest she catch a cold from the wind."

Zhou Ling said sincerely: "The emperor really loves Princess Yuner very much."

I smiled and didn't answer, just happened that Wanfu came with a dark blue cloak, I don't know where he found it, it seems that although Yun'er is a bit big in this size, it will never be held on the ground like adult clothes.

I took the cloak from Wanfu and wanted to put it on for Yun'er myself, but seeing Yun'er's defensive eyes, I gave up.

I handed the cloak to Li Chen, and Li Chen took it with both hands: "I thank my father on behalf of Yun'er."

"It's okay, you go and play."

"Yes."

Li Chen turned around and put on the cloak for Yun'er, saluted us again, took Yun'er's hand and left with a group of eunuchs.

Zhou Ling looked at the backs of Li Chen and the others, and said: "I heard that although the First Prince is a man, he is a beautiful woman. I have no contact with him at ordinary times, but I just glanced at him in a hurry. I met him today, and he really deserves his reputation." .”

"Well, Shen'er looks like his mother."

While talking, Zhou Ling and I walked into the imperial study together. Zhou Ling smiled and said, "This year, the eldest prince is only 11 years old. He is so beautiful at such a young age. I wonder if anyone will marry him as a princess in the future."

I couldn't help but laugh and said: "How can the great prince of Datong not marry the concubine?"

"It's because he is so beautiful that others feel ashamed and dare not marry him." Zhou Ling thought for a while and asked, "The eldest prince will be out of the palace in five years. How do you plan to arrange it, Your Majesty?"

"You also said that there are still five years left. It's still early. We'll talk about this kind of thing later." In fact, I have made plans for Li Chen's future. When he is just out of the palace, I will seek his opinion. If he wants to go to the vassal land, I will allocate a piece of land for him and let him be the vassal king. If he wants to stay in the capital as an idle prince, I will be happy to support him as an idler.

We walked into the hall and sat down. Wanfu asked the eunuchs to prepare refreshments. I asked, "The empress is here to look for me in the imperial study. Is there anything important?"

"Well, the official came to look for Weichen," Zhou Ling said in a soft voice, with a somewhat tentative tone, "it's about Wan... Concubine Wan."

"Don't worry about who I like, it's not up to the officials to intervene." I smiled and flicked Zhou Ling's forehead lightly, "Queen, you are so easy to talk, and they will ask you to see you in the future and pretend to be sick." Just don't see it."

Hearing what I said, Zhou Ling's expression turned ugly, "Your Majesty, isn't it inappropriate to do this?"

"Concubine Wan committed a crime after all, you..."

"Queen, do you mean to let Zhen continue to neglect Concubine Wan?" I asked with raised eyebrows.

"It's not what the ministers mean, but what the eunuchs mean," Zhou Ling kicked the ball tactfully, "If you continue like this, you will probably receive a letter of impeachment from the eunuchs. Isn't the concubine's situation even more embarrassing?"

"You don't need to worry about Concubine Wan's affairs." Are there still few things they impeach?I have long since seen the strangeness, "I will find a way to deal with it."

"emperor……"

"Empress." I frowned and didn't want to listen to him anymore, "You should really learn from Concubine Wen, don't take over everything."

This is the first time I have spoken to Zhou Ling in such a serious tone. Zhou Ling was obviously a little frightened, and he also has a temper, so he just told me, "Yes, a humble minister is not as good as Concubine Wen, and Concubine Wen is not as good as you. No matter whether you ask or not, let you let yourself go, but have you ever thought about why? If you really love someone, how can you tolerate him with other people in his heart? I admit that I have selfishness, and I feel jealous when I see Concubine Wan. I love you, but what about Concubine Wen, does he really love you?"

"Queen!" I interrupted Zhou Ling, "You are the queen, how can you say such a thing? The relationship between me and Concubine Wen, I don't need you to intervene." Zhou Ling's tone seemed to be Challenge it.If I hadn't figured out what happened to Zhou Ling and He Wenliu long ago, I would really have believed what Zhou Ling said.

Zhou Ling also found that his own emotions were too agitated, a little offended, "Your Majesty," Zhou Ling knelt on the ground in fear, and explained: "My minister... my minister was just..."

"I know you usually feel uncomfortable because of Concubine Wen making things difficult for you." I sighed, helped Zhou Ling up, and let him sit next to me again, "There are some things I can't tell outsiders, but you are the queen. She is my legal wife in name, so I will tell you."

"Yes." Zhou Ling breathed a sigh of relief and listened carefully.

"What does the empress think of me treating Concubine Wen?" I asked first.

"Very good." Zhou Ling replied without thinking.

"Then what qualifications do you think Concubine Wen has to make me treat him well?"

"Concubine Wen..." Zhou Ling paused for a while, probably trying to organize his words, "Concubine Wen has a good temper and good looks. She gave birth to two daughters and one son for the emperor, and behind him is the He family." support."

After listening to Zhou Ling's list, I smiled: "There are so many reasons, only the last one is the most important. Concubine Wen is from the He family."

"You mean to say that you dote on Concubine Wen entirely because of the family behind him?"

"Or do you think that Concubine Wen's temperament can really catch my eyes? I guess I have forgotten her in the harem long ago, and she will die alone." What I said is also true. Didn't He Wenliu in the previous life live in the harem like this? For most of my life.

"Concubine Wen's elder brother is Prime Minister You, and her second elder brother is also a great general of Yuanma with a heavy army in his hands. Anyway, I have to appease them." I took Zhou Ling's hand, patted the back of his hand and said: "I know that you are being angry with Concubine Wen, if you bear with it, the He family won't be prosperous for long."

"What?" Zhou Ling's eyes widened, as if he had heard some earth-shattering secret, "Your Majesty, do you want to move the He family?"

"Why not? It's a matter of time," I stated the facts, "He Wenwu leads troops to fight and holds the military power, and He Wenyan has a tendency to assist Ji'er in the court. The He family is too powerful, I can't help it." Don't guard against it."

"Great power?" After thinking for a while, Zhou Ling asked, "Then... Then there is the Xia family. Their foundation is deeper than that of the He family. Are you going to move the Xia family too, Your Majesty?"

"No," I said with a sneer, "The Xia family won't be successful, and they don't even have a prince to help them for a long time, so there's nothing to be afraid of."

"What the emperor said is true," Zhou Ling thought for a moment, "You want to pamper Concubine Wan first, do you also want to..."

"How come, I am sincere to Concubine Wan." I smiled wryly, and said to Zhou Ling: "If the queen wants to call me promiscuous, playful or something, I have nothing to refute."

"I know it's unfair to you. It's impossible for me to pamper you alone because of you, and it's unfair to Concubine Wan."

"Your Majesty..." Zhou Ling didn't know what to say.

"I like you, but I can't let Concubine Wan go. Concubine Wan is the first person I treat sincerely in my life. She has been with me for many years, and I can't let her down." I held Zhou Ling's hand tightly , I was afraid that he would withdraw his hand when I was not paying attention, "Queen, I hope you can understand, there are many things that I can't help myself."

"This minister knows, Your Majesty." Zhou Ling showed a warm smile to reassure me, "As long as the emperor has this minister in his heart, this minister will die without regret."

A few days later, I promoted Jia Wanru again, not just as a concubine, but as a noble concubine. Among the emperor's canonized harem concubines, there are only four positions for noble concubines, second only to the queen. They have been vacant before, and now they are finally Someone has it.
