Prince Regent's Concubine

The queen mother lay down, covered the quilt, and closed her eyes directly.

The nun beside him waved to the eunuch and let him go out.

The eunuch understood and withdrew, and then went to answer the emperor who was waiting outside.

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is not in good health, she has already fallen asleep, and I don't know when she will wake up." The eunuch did not dare to tell the Emperor to go back, and after finishing speaking, he lowered his head and stopped talking.

The emperor stared deeply at the door of the Jianing Palace, turned around and left.

He walked so fast that Zhou Qi had to trot to keep up. The emperor, who was already unhappy, was shut down again by the queen mother, and his anger grew even worse.

After hurriedly walking for a long time, Zhou Qi started to catch up with him and started panting, so he called him to stop.

The emperor kicked an unknown flower on the side of the road, "They are all against me, and they don't even pay attention to me, the emperor!"

Zhou Qi advised from the side, "Your Majesty, please calm down, calm down, don't be angry and ruin your body."

Zhou Qi didn't expect that in just one day, things would change completely. He was obviously very happy when he came back from the palace yesterday.

"Your Majesty, the dragon's body is important, don't be angry with some trivial things."

The emperor turned sharply and stared at Zhou Qi, "Small matter, is this a small matter? You have a regent, a queen mother, and so many ministers, but none of them puts the emperor in their eyes. There are still people in this world Is your majesty more useless than me?"

As he spoke, he became even angrier, and the flower closest to him suffered.

Zhou Qi was also so frightened that his knees softened and he knelt down.

The emperor himself vented his anger, and finally said to Zhou Qi in a muffled voice, "Get up, and find a pavilion to sit."

Zhou Qi quickly responded and led the way to find the pavilion.

The pavilion was found, but someone arrived a little earlier than them, and the piano had just been placed on the stone table and hadn't started playing yet.

Zhou Qi hesitated whether to go forward, the one who could play the piano in the palace must be a concubine, but it was still a little far away, Zhou Qi didn't recognize which concubine it was.

"Your Majesty, this?"

The emperor raised his hand, "Wait a minute, if you dare to come to the imperial garden to play the piano, I want to hear how well she can play."

These women have not been blessed since they entered the palace and were made concubines. The imperial doctor said that the emperor is young, and it is not good to break up early. It is best to wait another two years.

In addition, he himself is not interested in female sex, and he is busy with court affairs all day long, so everyone's brand is overturned. Now, apart from knowing whose daughters have entered the palace, he even recognizes everyone. Incomplete.

The piano player over there didn't keep them waiting too long, and soon remembered the sound, it was still Feng Qiuhuang, it sounded good, at least it was pleasant.

After listening to a song, the other side was still going on, but the emperor greeted Zhou Qi to leave.

Zhou Qi also asked, "Won't the emperor go to see this empress?"

Xiao Jingheng originally planned to refuse, but after thinking for a while, he said, "Go and find out who the girl is, and make another list tonight and send it to me."

Zhou Qi understood what list he wanted, it was nothing more than that the family members of the girls who entered the palace had to be on the side of the queen mother, and had nothing to do with the side of the regent, so that they could be favored by the emperor.

Zhou Qi agreed, followed the emperor back, found someone to handle the matter, and followed the emperor every step of the way.

The rules in the palace are strict, and the things the emperor wants are always delivered quickly.

As soon as it was dark, a list was in the hands of the emperor. Zhou Qi reported, "Your majesty, today's empress is the second daughter of Shaoqing in Dali Temple. She was conferred the title of concubine Li. She is sixteen years old."

"Young Minister of Dali Temple," Xiao Jingheng read softly, and then opened the booklet to read the content on it. When he saw the young minister of Dali Temple, the emperor paused for a while, "I remember that Prime Minister Li said a few days ago that he wanted to talk to the young minister of Dali Temple. Are you in-laws?"

Zhou Qi: "There is such a thing, Your Majesty, the only son of Prime Minister Li asked to marry the eldest daughter of Shaoqing of Dali Temple."

Xiao Jingheng knows what Li Wei's only son is like, and there are rumors outside that Prime Minister Li's only son wants to marry Qin Yuyan, the former lady of the Duke of Qin's mansion. The news is not true, no one asks him, and Xiao Jingheng doesn't take it to heart .

And now that everyone is gone, it's useless to say these things.

Thinking about it, Xiao Jingheng suddenly sighed, "Uncle Huang is really unlucky, let's marry a man instead of a delicate girl like Qin Yuyan."

Zhou Qi didn't dare to answer these words, he just said silently in his heart, now that he thinks he married a man, don't you still think about his man.

From these words, Zhou Qi understood that the emperor had taken a fancy to the talent of the princess regent. He not only wanted to make people a courtier, but also wanted to trap people by his side. As for feelings, he definitely didn't have any. By following him, the princess regent can be used by him even more.

Zhou Qi didn't answer, and Xiao Jingheng didn't continue. Knowing that the woman during the day was the daughter of Shaoqing of Dali Temple, Xiao Jingheng asked Zhou Qibiao to drive to see Concubine Li.

It's okay to not go to bed, but to meet people and listen to a song.

The emperor went to the harem and stayed overnight in Concubine Li's palace. The news spread like flying in the harem.

Then the harem became lively. When the emperor didn’t come to the harem, everyone was the same. They didn’t think so much, but if they entered, it meant honor and favor. Whether it was food, clothing and status in the palace, even the family would benefit. Naturally, this thought Liven up.

Not long after he went to court the next day, the emperor received bowl after bowl of soup sent by court ladies or eunuchs.

The emperor collected them all and arranged them in a row on the table.

Xiao Jingheng asked Zhou Qi, "Xiao Qizi, whose palace do you think I should go to rest tonight?"

This means that everyone offends others, Zhou Qi proposed to flop, it all depends on luck.

"Then flip the sign, don't put those who have been there before, and don't tell them to welcome me at night, it will be like this in the future." For Xiao Jingheng, it was a different place to sleep, just like everyone else, not important.

The news didn't get out, but in the days that followed, someone would sleep with her every night, and there was no reward after simply sleeping, so the soup was delivered more frequently.

Xiao Jingheng also seemed to have found some fun in it, watching these concubines scrambling for his favor, the setbacks he had suffered before also dissipated a lot.

If the regent doesn't go to court, he won't go to court. It's not like he can't turn the court without him. On the contrary, he can win people's hearts better.

With this in mind, Xiao Jingheng lived a very happy life.

Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming soon, Xiao Jingheng arranged for the production of cement according to Ling Qingshi's original proposal, and recruited ordinary people and homeless people to repair cement roads. The road from the capital to Kaiyang County is also under construction, and the road from Kaiyang County to other places is also being repaired. After the New Year, the entire vicinity of the capital will be completely different.

This is his merit, which lasts forever and can be praised by the world.

When Xiao Jingheng was preparing for the New Year's Eve to listen to the praises of the people, another urgent letter from eight hundred miles also entered Beijing.
