The queen just came out of the inner hall and saw that although it was drizzling, the emperor had already come in with several eunuchs.
Seeing the emperor come in, all the maids in the palace knelt down. The queen also bowed her knees slightly and bowed her head to perform the Wanfu salute. As soon as the bright yellow figure came to the front, she helped the queen with her own hands and smiled at the queen: "Why are you so polite? You and I are husband and wife."
, just treat them as a normal couple, there is no need to greet each other personally."
The queen did not refute the emperor's words. She just smiled faintly and looked at the eunuchs behind the emperor. They were holding some jars in their hands.
Seeing her looking over, the emperor explained: "This is the spring tea from Xingong. Some are roasted and some are fragrant. They are all top-quality tribute from the local area. I know you like tea, so I brought some of each here. You can come back later
Try them all, and if you think which one tastes better, ask someone to tell me, there are still some in the private treasury, and they will be sent to you when the time comes."
The queen bowed slightly and smiled faintly, but this smile, which was so perfect that no one could fault her, was like a perfunctory mask.
The emperor looked at it for a moment and shook his head helplessly.
"You all go down first." The emperor waved his hand.
"Yes." Including the eunuchs brought by the emperor, as well as the maids and eunuchs in Yong'an Palace, all respectfully withdrew.
The emperor then walked up to the queen and asked softly: "Are you angry? Otherwise, you wouldn't be so perfunctory and didn't even say a word to me. But what did I do wrong to make you unhappy?"
At this time, the emperor didn't even say "I", only me.
The Queen's chest felt uncomfortable. Originally, she could save face in front of outsiders, but now that there were no outsiders in the palace, the Queen simply spoke out what was in her heart.
She frowned slightly, and her beautiful eyes were full of disappointment: "Your Majesty, why are you still asking? You are asking knowingly! You have asked people to test several times, and it has been confirmed that Su Ziji is Fu'er's son, your grandson.
But at the end of the day, you are so stingy that you are not even willing to give a single prize to a top pick?"
"It's just a champion, what does it mean to Fu'er's son?"
"Look, I guessed that you would have wild thoughts, so I came over as soon as I finished my government affairs." The emperor gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, sighed first, and then said softly: "It's not that I won't give it to him.
I just want to give young people a little more experience."
"Taizu once thought of letting the prince practice, but he still failed. When the prince went to practice, not to mention raising troops and mobilizing a large number of people, those ministers could not think of anything, either to seek refuge, to enchant, or to alienate, causing trouble among the sons of the late emperor."
Seeing that the queen seemed to have listened and her face softened a lot, the emperor patted the queen's hand and arrived at the entrance of the palace. Seeing the female officer and eunuch timidly retreating into the distance, the emperor swallowed, feeling a little bitter.
"Actually, even the current princes of Qi and Shu, I think they are very uncomfortable staying in the capital. But as a prince, you can't just enjoy the benefits and not take responsibility. With their status, even though I am the head of a country.
Jun, you can’t think about the consequences.”
"Su Ziji has been admitted to the clan and has become a member of the royal family. He is a noble person, but with many pairs of eyes staring at him, how can he go out to practice again?"
"He is only seventeen years old. He is still too young. Wouldn't it be a pity to arrest him directly? Staying in Beijing will not do him much good."
"I'm going to let him go to Shun'an Mansion for some experience. There are some things he can handle. Credit and seniority are all paid off. It will be good for him to accumulate some experience and see more people."
"Queen, you and I have been husband and wife for many years. You should understand me. Now it's really not the time. Although I am the master of the world, there are some things, and I can't do it by temperament."
This is reasonable.
The queen finally nodded.
The emperor was in a daze for a long time, and then said: "Don't worry, when he comes back this time, I will definitely give him a title. This way, I can stop the mouths of those old guys, and it will also be good for Su Ziji."
.”
"Your Majesty is still thinking carefully. It's my concubine who didn't think well and wrongly blamed your Majesty." The queen smiled and apologized with a slight bow to the emperor.
Seeing this, the emperor also breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly supported her, and smiled: "You and I, husband and wife, why are you so polite? As long as you don't misunderstand me, I will be very happy."
Then the two sat together and chatted about some things. At this time, the conversation gradually opened up. The emperor held a low table and said: "I remember that I often used this table back then. I remember that "Spring Scenes in the Forest" was written here.
At that time, you were on my side. "
The words are too much to miss.
When the emperor was young, Han Mo's book was extremely exquisite, and Yougong painted flowers.
The queen's heart moved, thinking: "Yun Danfeng is near noon, and the flowers are along with Liu.
She read it lightly and sighed again: "I have been years old, it seems to be yesterday."
At that time, the interesting things kept thinking about the conflict of interests, and the grievances were diluted.
It was pattering outside, and the spring rain started to fall again at some point. The emperor was obviously very interested in talking, but seeing the tired look on the queen's face, he decided to leave the palace without letting her stay with him anymore.
The queen gave each other, there was a corridor between the temples, and the two walked through. The female officer and eunuch naturally did not dare to make noise.
In silence, the two of them had already stepped out of the door one after another, and a chariot was waiting not far away from the steps. Naturally, someone held an umbrella to greet them. The emperor walked down the steps, but turned back and looked at Yong'an Palace, looking a little confused.
.
"Twenty years ago, I was a little late to return to the palace. You just waited here, and when you saw me, I smiled at me."
"In the blink of an eye, I have grown old, but I always feel that this smile is still there yesterday." The emperor said softly, with a smile on his face, as if reminiscing, but halfway through the sentence, the smile gradually faded away.
The emperor turned to leave, and sighed softly again, stood under the step, looking back at the queen again, the breeze and drizzle, the whole palace city seemed to solidify in time.
When the female officer came in again, told the queen that the emperor had gone out of the Yong'an Palace, and the queen hanging with a faint smile on his face, then converged and smiled, and turned his face again.
"Mother, those spring tea ..."
"Put it up first, I don’t like to drink new tea recently, let's drink last year's tea."
"Yes." I didn't know why the queen changed her taste again, but the female officer did not dare to question, responded, and retreated.
Just leave the queen to walk back to the chair and sit down again.
In this re -recovered inner hall, she supported her cheeks and fell into memories. Until Chaoxia came in, she interrupted her miss.
The queen didn't look up and asked directly, "How, what happened?"
"Mother, Princess Xinping is in an accident." Chaoxia said: "You instructed, he had to report on her affairs -the princess was assassinated outside the palace, and it was scared to faint. Now it has returned to the palace."
