After enjoying a few days of leisure, someone finally dared to disturb Emperor Liu's peace. The palace attendants did not dare to stop him, after all, he was the queen.
"Where are the officials?" His face was very calm under the warm sun. Fu Hou glanced at her and asked softly.
"The officials are taking a rest, I will inform the empress now!" Yantuo was still wrestling with Zhang Dejun during the investigation. Emperor Liu who was serving Emperor Liu in Qianning Palace was only a chamberlain. Everyone knew that when facing the empress, he obviously lacked confidence. .
Empress Fu didn't say much, just nodded, and then walked directly inside. Inside the bedroom, the beaded curtain swayed slightly, and on the soft couch, Emperor Liu was lying on his side, with his buttocks facing outside. He had been sitting for a long time. Not only is there more fat on my waist, but my butt is also obviously bigger than before.
Of course, Empress Fu's attention was not on Emperor Liu's figure. She seemed not to hear any movement and was still lying silently. She seemed to exude a lonely temperament.
The chamberlain did not dare to approach the couch. From a distance away, he crouched and called softly: "Guan's family! Guan's family! The Queen is here..."
Unfortunately, after calling a few times, there was no response. He couldn't help but turn his head towards Fu Hou, with a little helplessness in his eyes. Seeing this, Fu Hou waved to him and said: "You can go down."
The chamberlain looked at the empress, and then at the seemingly unaware emperor, and hesitated a little. It was not that he was worried about the absurd possibility that the empress would treat the emperor, but he did not get the signal from Emperor Liu, so he hesitated.
But the queen was not someone who could be offended. After seeing the talisman, her eyebrows gradually furrowed, she gritted her teeth and said hurriedly: "Yes!"
Only the emperor and empress were left on the couch in front of the bed. The palace became even quieter. They looked at the back of Emperor Liu lying on his side. The quilt covering him looked messy. In addition, there were a few chapters thrown aside casually, as if reading. I fell asleep watching the memorial.
Slowly stepping forward, Empress Fu gently helped Emperor Liu cover the quilt, and then packed up the memorials and placed them on his pillow. He did not deliberately read the contents, but in that instant, the symbols still gained some key points. The information contained in these memorials is the detailed expenditures of the Han court over the years.
The queen sat silently by the couch and stared at Emperor Liu leisurely, while the emperor lay quietly and fell asleep. As time went by, the atmosphere gradually became awkward.
After a while, Emperor Liu finally moved, turned over and lay down, opened his sleepy eyes, looked at Fu Hou, and said tiredly: "Are you here? Wait a minute..."
"You and I are so estranged from each other?" Listening to Emperor Liu's calm tone, Empress Fu said calmly, looking at Emperor Liu.
Seeing this reaction, Emperor Liu was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said: "I have been a little tired these past few days, physically and mentally exhausted. The imperial doctor said that I need to rest, so Qian Ning Palace is quiet here."
Emperor Liu's explanation was full of nonsense, as if he was looking for various reasons at random. Empress Fu looked at him: "The official family has not set foot in Kunming Hall for nearly a month. If you don't come to see me, you don't allow me to come. Looking at you?”
Hearing this, Emperor Liu couldn't help but smile: "Could it be that I'm jealous? Such words don't seem to come from your mouth."
After hearing this, Empress Fu also looked at Emperor Liu, her eyes were very bright, so bright that Emperor Liu couldn't bear to look directly at him. Such words also didn't seem to come from Emperor Liu's mouth. Didn't he understand Empress Fu, Empress Fu?
How can she be just an ordinary little woman who is sour and jealous? This is the most extraordinary woman in the world.
Probably in order to cover up his embarrassment, Emperor Liu finally stretched himself out and started to do it, and Empress Fu also helped him get a pillow for him to lean on. The eyes of the couple were finally at the same level. Emperor Liu looked at his queen and suddenly said with emotion:
"You also have a few strands of white hair on your temples!"
"You're getting old!"
Empress Fu is still full of the temperament of a noble lady. She is the most noble woman in the world, but her time has passed. Without the blessing of her identity, she will never see her original grace and beauty again.
He didn't sigh, or even make any subconscious movements, he just said it in a calm tone. Regarding his aging, Fu Hou's mentality was obviously very open-minded.
Seeing this, Emperor Liu was touched in his heart and said with a smile: "People will grow old eventually. You and I, as husband and wife, will grow old together, but we will not be so lonely!"
As he said this, Emperor Liu's eyes finally showed rare tenderness, and he said warmly: "You have weak bones, so you should take care of yourself!"
After all, Empress Fu suffered a serious illness that year. Although she survived, her body has hardly been healthy these years. After hearing these simple but penetrating words of care, Empress Fu's eyes also softened, and she replied: "I live in peace in the harem.
, everything is going well, don’t worry too much, but you are working hard to rejuvenate the country, so you need to be careful about your body!"
Emperor Liu and his wife knew each other and had a deep relationship. In fact, they did not need these heart-warming words to strengthen their relationship.
After a brief greeting, Emperor Liu asked: "Why do you come to see me?"
Empress Fu: "Nowadays, the country is plagued by disasters, the people are in trouble, the court is troubled, and there is unrest both inside and outside. As an emperor, you are resting in the palace. It is inevitable that people will speculate. Both the inner and outer palaces are concerned about you.
The situation..."
"If the internal and external officials of the imperial court could focus half of their energy on serving the country and the people, instead of trying to figure out my thoughts and my words and deeds, then there would be no need to worry about the world being unjust, and what difficulties would there be?
Can’t get through?” Emperor Liu shook his head and said.
"What you said is biased! There is still no shortage of virtuous ministers and Liangbi in the imperial court!" Empress Fu said.
Empress Fu's words are always to the point, and it is true that there are many people in the imperial court who are bent on playing tricks and speculating on the emperor's wishes, but there is no shortage of practical talents. When working for Emperor Liu and the court, they only know how to play tricks.
, after all, there is an upper limit. If you want to climb up, actual governance ability is the foundation.
"Could it be that Zhao Pu and the others are looking for you?" Emperor Liu suddenly asked.
Empress Fu didn't seem to notice the suspicion in Emperor Liu's eyes, and just shook her head: "Without them coming forward, couldn't I have come to see you?"
"Of course you can!" Emperor Liu smiled, thought again, and said: "The imperial court is certainly in troubled times, but after so many years, what kind of difficulties has it not experienced?
I can rest assured that there are Zhao Pu and others in the outer court. During the Northern Expedition, Zhao Pu was able to handle so many disturbances. Although the disaster in the Central Plains was serious, it did not really make them panic.
Even without me watching, they can still get things done. If they can't get it done well and something goes wrong, then I'll do it for them!"
Hearing what Emperor Liu said, Empress Fu couldn't help but said: "The official family is still as strong as ever, how can the ministers not be trembling with fear?"
Emperor Liu naturally didn't care about the "collision" in the Queen's mouth. He just remained silent for a moment, and then said calmly: "It is my consistent philosophy to be in their position, to plan their affairs, and to shoulder their responsibilities. Give them authority and status."
, honor is not for them to repay with mediocrity! "
In this regard, Empress Fu said nothing more, and it was not inconvenient for her to interfere in the affairs of the imperial court. She also pondered for a moment and said: "A lot of people have died in the palace recently..."
When the investigation operation in the Han Palace was launched, one incident was revealed to the world, and the criminals were found out one by one, followed by a series of suicides in fear of crime. Emperor Liu's words in Chui Gong Hall that day, when
It is true that the Constitution is spoken and the law is followed.
Emperor Liu raised his eyebrows and looked at Empress Fu in surprise: "I know that many people died, and they basically committed suicide out of fear of crime. They were all sinners and traitors, and they died unjustly. Why, it disturbed your ears?
Does it make you soft-hearted?"
After hearing this, Empress Fu shook her head and sighed softly: "I'm not here to intercede for those sinners, nor do I feel sorry for their deaths. It's just that people in the palace have been in panic recently. Even my Kun
There are constant rumors in the Ming Palace, the country is in troubled times, and the inner court is so turbulent, it is not a good thing after all!"
"Don't worry!" Sensing Empress Fu's worry, Emperor Liu waved his hand and said calmly: "A little noise is not a big deal!"
