Several people were demoted in a row, and the atmosphere was already solemn, but Emperor Qianxi happened to make Nanyi Prefecture's fate obvious, making the ministers even more cautious.
Several days passed, and the relationship between Emperor Qianxi and Concubine He began to heat up.
On this day, Emperor Qianxi finally came to Qianning Palace. After the two got tired of each other, they hugged each other. Concubine He had some evil intentions. When she felt that they were close, she asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, I wonder how this child Yucheng is doing recently?"
Emperor Qianxi was stunned and said without thinking, "Well~ Why did my beloved concubine say this?"
"I am worried..."
Emperor Qianxi caressed the person in his arms and comforted him, "Okay, don't worry too much. I have my own solution for this matter."
A flash of panic flashed in Concubine He's eyes, and she recovered instantly. She couldn't help but ask, "Oh? I wonder if your Majesty has an idea? Can you tell me that I know about it?"
Emperor Qianxi thought for a moment, then said with a bad smile, "Well, it's okay to tell you, but you have to take good care of me, otherwise..."
Concubine He half-covered her face, then moved down and gently hit Emperor Qianxi's chest with her hand, pretending to be shy and said, "Your Majesty, I hate it~"
Emperor Qianxi pretended to be in pain and said, "Be gentle, my beloved concubine, be gentle..."
Concubine He pretended to be angry and said, "Humph, your Majesty knows how powerful I am, right?"
The evil smile on Emperor Qianxi's face not only did not subside, but instead took advantage of the situation and said, "My beloved concubine is great, and I am also great. Who is more powerful, my beloved concubine?"
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty is bullying me like this, and I'm just... really angry."
Emperor Qianxi said hurriedly, "My dear concubine, don't be angry. I will tell you how to solve the problem of Yucheng."
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Concubine He immediately stopped what she was doing.
Emperor Qianxi pursed his lips and was about to speak. Concubine He looked at him expectantly. Just when Concubine He thought Emperor Qianxi was going to explain to her, Emperor Qianxi suddenly pecked her face.
In order to find out what Emperor Qianxi was thinking, Concubine He did not resist, but took the initiative to cater to her. After a while, Emperor Qianxi, dripping with sweat, finally stopped with satisfaction, and did not forget to place her hands on the towering mountain peaks. He pinched a handful, then licked his lips and smiled!
Concubine He held Emperor Qianxi's hand, held it tightly on her mountain peak, and then said coquettishly, "Your Majesty is satisfied now, but you can drive this concubine half to death..."
Then he did not forget to remind him, "Your Majesty, please remember to keep your promise~"
After Emperor Qianxi vented his anger, he was in a good mood and kept smiling.
"Since my beloved concubine wants to know, then I will tell you!"
Concubine He stared at him intently. Emperor Qianxi swallowed and squeezed it hard before speaking slowly.
"To tell you the truth, I plan to betroth Yucheng to Lingyun. In this way, Yucheng will not suffer too much, and Lingyun will not be punished. Do you think my method is feasible?"
Concubine He was startled. She was dumbfounded for a moment and stammered, "What? Your Majesty... Your Majesty, you want to betroth this child Yucheng to Ling Yun?"
Emperor Qianxi didn't expect that Concubine He would be so shocked by these words, so he frowned and asked in confusion, "What's wrong with Concubine He? Why are you so shocked?"
Concubine He suddenly realized that her reaction was a bit big and had attracted the attention of Emperor Qianxi. She suddenly had a headache and knew that if she didn't make up a reasonable explanation, she might arouse Emperor Qianxi's suspicion.
"Your Majesty, I am worried that this child Yucheng is a golden child, while Lingyun is only a fifth-grade bachelor's degree student. Moreover, he is only a farmer's family. It would be too unfair for Yucheng to marry him..."
Concubine He said she was thinking about Princess Yucheng, but in fact she was not. Instead, she was worried that Emperor Qianxi's move would not only exempt Ling Yun from punishment, but also make him richer, which was inconsistent with her original intention.
She thought to herself, "No, this thing can't be successful no matter what. She can't just watch Ling Yun grow up under her nose. Otherwise, if she puts all her efforts into it, wouldn't she do a good thing with bad intentions?"
Concubine He's explanation was quite satisfactory.
From Emperor Qianxi's point of view, the starting point was naturally from the perspective of Princess Yucheng. He was worried that Princess Yucheng would suffer a loss, so he was shocked.
Emperor Qianxi laughed and explained, "My beloved, you are worrying too much. Although that boy Ling Yun is only a fifth-grade bachelor now, his future is immeasurable. Therefore, from a long-term perspective, this child will be perfected." Betrothal to him is a good choice."
Concubine He did not dare to speak out her inner thoughts, otherwise she would definitely offend Emperor Qianxi, but she allowed the situation to develop and felt extremely uncomfortable.
I can't show my displeasure on the face of it, I plan to make insinuations, find out the situation clearly first, and then make other plans.
"Your Majesty, I wonder if Yucheng agrees?"
"There won't be much problem with Yucheng, but..."
Concubine He asked impatiently, "Your Majesty, what is it?"
Emperor Qianxi glanced at her and felt a little puzzled. For some reason, he always felt that the person in his arms was extremely concerned about this matter.
Concubine He naturally sensed Emperor Qianxi's suspicion, and in order to dispel his suspicion, she immediately explained, "Your Majesty, please don't misunderstand me. I just feel guilty for myself, so I want to understand the situation so that I can do something for Yucheng. "
Emperor Qianxi then thought about it and felt that Concubine He might be feeling guilty, so she seemed to be particularly considerate, so he told Ling Yun about her rejection.
When I heard that Ling Yun actually rejected Emperor Qianxi's proposal, I was shocked and at the same time felt relieved.
At the same time, Concubine He was thinking in her mind, thinking about how to prevent this from happening.
All in all, no matter what, she could not let Princess Yucheng marry Ling Yun, otherwise the two invisible rivals would not only not be eliminated, but would join together, which would probably cause trouble to her in the future.
Emperor Qianxi came out of Qianning Palace, his legs and feet were a little weak, and he didn't want to deal with business, but Xiao Lizi kept reporting that Li Chengyou asked for an audience, and waited in front of the imperial study room for a long time, saying that he could not see His Majesty, but refused to leave. .
Helpless, Emperor Qianxi dragged his tired body back to the imperial study. When Li Chengyou came in, he wanted to ask him to speak quickly and fart quickly, so that he could rest early.
"Li Aiqing asked to see me, but what's the important matter?"
Li Chengyou replied, "Your Majesty, I do have something to do."
Emperor Qianxi paused and signaled, "Since you have something to do, let's talk about it!"
Li Chengyou was silent for a long time, then suddenly raised his head with extremely firm eyes, gritted his teeth, and made up his mind, "Your Majesty, I am willing to go to Nanyi Prefecture, but I have something to ask for. As long as your Majesty agrees, I will set off for Nanyi Prefecture immediately. .”
