Chapter 132
Lu Huiling wanted to see the emperor no matter what this morning, so she acted like a child and sat down in Eunuch He's seat outside the Qinzheng Hall door, saying: "It doesn't matter. I have nothing to do with you, no matter what.
If you just wait here, Eunuch He won't have to entertain me anymore, you can go ahead."
This puts Eunuch He in a difficult position. He is already working as an errand beside the Emperor in the Qinzheng Palace. How can it be inappropriate for Concubine Ming to sit here and let him do his own thing as if no one else is around?
"Empress, you'd better go back first. After the emperor has finished handling the government affairs, I will go to Minghua Hall to invite you over. Minghua Hall is not far from Qinzheng Hall, isn't it?" Eunuch He bent down and persuaded with a smile.
.
"I'm here even though I'm here." Lu Huiling ignored Eunuch He and turned around to mind her own business, "How can you leave just as you say?"
"This... other empresses in the palace are like this. You don't know that the emperor doesn't see anyone in the morning." Eunuch He walked to Lu Huiling with small steps and begged.
Everyone in the palace who had met Lu Huiling before thought that she had changed her temper and had become mature, steady, dignified and generous, but Lu Huiling knew in her heart that there were some things that she couldn't do just by being reasonable, so she just did this.
At that time, he started to become unruly and willful.
Lu Huiling turned her head and said, "If you don't leave, I won't see anyone in the morning, so I'll be fine until noon. The food in my palace is not delicious, but I think the food here is good."
"Oh, my dear! Only the queen and the deputy queen can accompany the emperor to eat together!" It's no wonder that Lu Huiling didn't understand, as she had never learned these etiquette before.
"That makes me full just by looking at it." Lu Huiling said reluctantly.
The aunt and maid of Minghua Hall knelt on the ground at the steps of Qinzheng Hall. Outside the door of Qinzheng Hall, the empress of the main palace of Minghua Hall was acting rogue again, which made the eunuch guards waiting outside the door more knowledgeable.
"Hey." A deep and powerful voice came from the Qinzheng Hall, "Who is making the noise outside."
Lu Huiling, who was quarreling with Eunuch He, quickly curled her lips and kept silent. Eunuch He and Lu Huiling looked at each other. Lu Huiling winked at Eunuch He and whispered: "Look at what I am doing, the emperor is calling you.
!”
Eunuch He did not dare to blame Concubine Ming, so he could only sigh and walk into the Qinzheng Hall with his head hanging down, looking like a disaster was imminent.
Xu Lan, who was kneeling at the foot of the steps, secretly screamed in her heart. If the emperor were to blame, the palace attendants in Minghuatang would definitely suffer first. But now there is no way to alleviate it, so she can only place her hope on Concubine Ming.
It's better not to make the emperor angry.
"Empress, empress." Xu Lan shouted in a low voice.
Lu Huiling was lying outside the door of Qinzheng Hall, looking through the crack in the door to see what was going on inside. When she heard Xu Lan calling her, she turned back to take a look.
Xu Lan waved her hand to kneel down and pick him up. Lu Huiling, who didn't understand anything at all, naturally obeyed and knelt in the middle of the door of Qinzheng Hall. As soon as the door was opened, she could be seen.
Mr. He opened the door a little, stepped in sideways, and closed the door again.
Qi Bingyu held his head and read through today's memorials. Suddenly he heard movement outside the door and asked aloud.
"Your Majesty." Eunuch He approached slowly, for fear of alarming the Emperor.
Qi Bingyu put down the memorial. At this time, what he was looking at was the tax collection. The battle on the front line was tight, and now he was unable to attack fiercely. He could only spend more food and grass day by day. Suoxingzhou was saved. As long as he regained the border and defeated the enemy in Great Liang
It would be good if the army was driven out of the border, but food and grass became a big problem, which really worried Qi Bingyu.
"Who is making noise outside the door?" Qi Bingyu asked with a frown.
"Yes..." Eunuch He hesitated a little, but still said truthfully: "It's Concubine Ming. Your Majesty misses you so much that she came here early in the morning. Now after waiting for a long time, I can't persuade you to go back."
When Qi Bingyu heard that Lu Huiling was coming, he was a little surprised. He thought that Lu Huiling was angry with him because of his reckless behavior that night, so he never dared to go to her, thinking that after waiting for this
After a while, the canonization ceremony was officially held, but I didn't expect Lu Huiling to come to see me so soon.
"Quick...please come in, Concubine Ming!" Qi Bingyu said anxiously.
Eunuch He was stunned for a moment. He seemed not to hear clearly what the emperor was saying, and looked at the emperor in surprise.
"Why are you still standing there?" Qi Bingyu frowned and looked at him, "Please come in, Concubine Ming."
"Ah, hey, yes! Yes." As he said this, Eunuch He trotted all the way to open the door of Qinzheng Hall.
As soon as the door of Qinzheng Palace opened, Qi Bingyu stood up from the dragon chair, with one hand behind his back, his eyes full of expectation, and even the corner of his mouth could not help but curl up into a rare smile.
After Eunuch He opened the door, Lu Huiling was kneeling upright in front of the door. How dare he accept such a great gift? He quickly turned sideways and knelt down against the door, not daring to raise his head.
Seeing the door slowly opening, Lu Huiling looked up at Qi Bingyu who was standing under the plaque of "Diligence in Government", with a faint smile on her lips. She leaned over and saluted: "I am here to see you, Your Majesty. Long live my Emperor."
Qi Bingyu couldn't help but laugh. He looked at Lu Huiling who came in the light. Every time he saw her, he always felt that he was twenty or thirty years younger, just like when he first ascended the throne.
He smiled and said: "My beloved concubine has a normal body."
Qi Bingyu waved to Lu Huiling to come forward. Lu Huiling slowly stood up, walked towards him step by step, and sat down next to him. Now the living assistant beside him had been replaced by a eunuch.
"Why don't you sleep more?" Qi Bingyu took her hand and asked kindly.
Lu Huiling smiled, shook her head and said, "When I was a female officer, I got up very early. Now that I have time to sleep, I can't fall asleep."
Qi Bingyu looked at her with joy on his face, forgetting the worries about government affairs just now, and now he just wanted to look at her quietly, that's all.
"What is your Majesty looking at?" Lu Huiling accidentally caught a glimpse of some memorials on the table and presented them to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Qi Jingyang, so she asked pretending to be curious.
Qi Bingyu glanced at the memorials she mentioned without warning, and said: "It's about tax collection. This matter is now left to Prince Yang to handle."
"Collect taxes..." Lu Huiling murmured, then shook her head, "I don't understand this."
Qi Bingyu looked at her silly way of shaking her head and thought she was extremely cute. He smiled and said, "The concubine doesn't need to know this."
Lu Huiling lowered her head and smiled lightly, then said no more.
"Did you come to see me for something?" Qi Bingyu asked.
Lu Huiling shook her head: "It's okay, but it's okay."
Hearing what she said, Qi Bingyu felt strange and held her hand a little harder. He was worried that something was wrong with her and asked anxiously: "If you have anything to say, you must tell me. I will definitely promise you anything I can promise you."
Qi Bingyu knew that if he rashly appointed Lu Huiling as his concubine, Lu Huiling would definitely be under pressure from all aspects. He was too worried that someone would deliberately slander her behind her back, preventing him from achieving consummation in his lifetime.
Lu Huiling pretended to smile and shook her head, "No. It's just..."
She hesitated for a while and said: "When I was a female official, I could still stay with the emperor all day long and look at the emperor day and night. Now that I am the emperor's concubine, even seeing the emperor is a luxury."
