Chapter 62(1/2)
Chen Ning learned the news that night in the emperor's arms. She said "ah" and said, "What a pity..." She is a very talented person.
"A literati who rarely rides a horse can learn from others' romanticism, and isn't it self-inflicted?" How could Dong Yuheng be a pity? It's just a pity that he is so sorry for his own fault.
"Can someone else tamper with it?"
"He was a poor scholar and had no weight on him. Who would poison him?"
Chen Ning thought about it, and then remembered the important thing, "What should Chen Mei do? The husband you refer to her is this top scholar?"
"Yeah." Dong Yuheng sighed. Fortunately, he forgot this time and had not issued an order yet. "I will give her a husband after a while."
"You should be more careful. Don't want those who have more wives and more concubines at home. It's better to be single. It doesn't matter if you have a smaller official position."
Dong Yuheng raised his eyebrows slightly.
"What?" Chen Ning asked innocently.
"So what if you have a wife and a concubine at home? I personally refer to the marriage, can the husband's family neglect her?"
Chen Ning was silent for a while, "There is only one heart for a person. With more women, the fewer ones you get."
The emperor raised her face, "Are you blaming me?"
Chen Ning smiled meaningfully under the orange candlelight, "I dare not," she paused and added, "You are the emperor."
Dong Yuheng stared at her calm face and was silent for a long time, "Just understand."
Chen Ning curled his lips and lay back to the side and looked at the top of the tent. Dong Yuheng reached out and pulled her into his arms again.
"Your Majesty the Emperor," Chen Ning's voice was soft and fluttering, "Have you ever... loved a woman with all your heart?"
Dong Yuheng was inexplicably angry, "I once loved a dog with all my heart."
Chen Ning burst into laughter and patted him gently.
"You..." The emperor wanted to speak but stopped, held her tightly, and "slept."
Late at night, the two of them were sleeping heavily, but they heard Wanfu report an urgent memorial of 800 miles away.
Dong Yuheng immediately got up, Chen Ning followed him up without complaint, and sent him out of the inner hall because he was not well-dressed. When she returned to the bed, she thought for a while, but she was afraid that there was something strange about the front line. She thought about it for a while, and then slowly fell asleep.
The next day, Chen Ning thought about what he had reported urgently for a while, and recalled another thing. She asked someone to summon Qin Hefeng to come.
The Prime Minister of Sitian Bureau was both an external minister and an internal minister. He was the same as the imperial physician. Even the Prince and the Imperial Concubine liked to listen to the Prime Minister's orders.
The concubines summoned the ministers for no more than an hour, and there must be many servants on both sides. Chen Ning summoned Qin Hefeng through a screen in the main hall, thinking that he had the fate of doing this.
Qin Hefeng asked for peace and stood respectfully with his hands down.
"Master Qin Xiang, what's the matter with me?" A calm voice came from behind the screen.
Qin Hefeng bowed and replied: "Reply to Empress Rui Concubine, I heard that the Empress had met the family master, so I came to ask."
"You mean Taoist Winsber?"
“That’s right.”
Chen Ning asked replies without answering, "How do you know that I have ever met Master Wen?"
"This..." Qin Hefeng hesitated for a while, "Your Majesty once told me, so I learned about it."
Chen Ning was surprised. How did Dong Yuheng know that she had met Master Wen? Even if he sent someone to check, he could not find out the past. Suddenly a flower face appeared in her mind. Annoyance flashed in her eyes. It must be Xiaohua. She smiled bitterly. This Xiaohua was probably shaking her bottom by 100%. Fortunately, Ziqi asked Xiaohua to retreat at that time, otherwise...
"Yes, I met a respected teacher in the Li Mansion of Yunzhou two years ago. The respected teacher came to stay in the mansion. I didn't expect to ascend to the fairy calmly in the wing room the next day." Chen Ning told the truth with regret.
Qin Hefeng had already accepted that his master had ascended to the immortal world, but he was concerned about another thing, "I wonder if the empress, did the master ever observe the appearance of you?"
Chen Ning was silent for a moment, "Yes."
"I dare to ask what the teacher said to criticize his destiny?"
Chen Ning chuckled, "Didn't you also look at me?"
Qin Hefeng was embarrassed, and a hint of blush flashed across his white face, "Weichen is not good at learning skills..."
"Then I'll come to see me when you're so mean." Chen Ning didn't plan to tell him.
Qin Hefeng seemed to have expected this result. He hesitated for a moment, pulled out a piece of paper from his sleeve, raised his hands high above his head, "Empress, this is a prophecy that the empress has criticized for her birth date. Please take a look at it."
Tao'er presented it, Chen Ning opened it and saw that it was just some difficult words. She swept it casually, but stopped at the last sentence.
I have a tragic fate, and I am afraid of dying young.
A strange light flashed in his eyes, but Chen Ning chuckled, "It seems that my life is very hard."
"Empress, I will not hide it from it. Your destiny and fortune are very different from your face. I really want to watch the appearance of the Empress again and ask the Empress to fulfill it."
"Being arrogant, the empress is proud of you, how can you see it whenever you want?" Xiuru shouted.
Qin Hefeng knelt down, "I only ask for one side, I am willing to receive punishment, and die without regrets!"
Chen Ning was silent for a moment, "Master Qin Xiang, I will ask you first, does Your Majesty know the birthday comment?"
"I dare not hide it."
He could really bear it... Chen Ning shook his head, then looked at the beauty of the screen and said to the master, "You don't have to watch the face for me anymore. I will tell you what your master said." She paused for a while, and then said, "Master Wen said, I shouldn't have come to this world." Master Wen was really a strange person. He was not saying that she shouldn't have come to this world, but that she was not a person in this world. She was surprised for a night and wanted to ask him if there was a way to go back, but he passed away peacefully in the wing room.
As soon as these words came out, all the servants in the Chunxi Palace were surprised. The Empress is indeed a man in the ordinary world!
Qin Hefeng was shocked, sure enough! Sure enough! He was afraid that he was thinking that he was right. Although the fetus was a daughter of the Shen family, the soul was afraid that he would be the miserable master. Is she a wandering soul or a fairy?
"To be honest, I don't know what Master Wen said. Master Qin Xiang, I hope you can solve my doubts one day." Chen Ning is now a dead horse and can cast a net wherever he has hope.
At night, Dong Yuheng did not come to Chunxi Palace, and Chen Ning knew that he was staying in Qiankun Palace. I thought something big happened, so when she went to Zhaohua Palace to pay her respects the next day, she asked for a few words.
Unexpectedly, it was a flood. The rains were continuous in Yizhou District, and the upstream broke down, and more than ten counties downstream were flooded.
Chen Ning knew that this was a very serious natural disaster and became more and more depressed.
The queen said, "Your Majesty is upset about this matter. Be careful and serve you well."
The concubines also knew that the situation was serious and went to Qiankun Palace to pay their respects. They were sent away without even seeing each other.
On the way back to the palace, Chen Ning whispered to Xiuru, asking her to pay attention to the movements of going to the study room and the imperial kitchen.
Xiuru took the order first, Chen Ning looked up, but saw Hua Lanying standing sadly not far ahead.
She walked past her without looking sideways. Hua Nongying suddenly knelt down behind her and called out a sad voice. She chose the original title, hoping that Chen Ning could remember the past love.
Chen Ning stopped, turned his head and looked at the kneeling beauty casually. It is really beneficial to be beautiful. Not only do men like it, but women are also prone to feeling unbearable. But Chen Ning's current mood is just helpless.
Hua Nongying is Dahua's twin sister. Although she is introverted, she is also well-behaved. She intended to hone her out of her sister's protection and stand alone in the sunshine. But she voluntarily shrank in her small boudoir and did not leave the house. She had no choice but to take care of her from Dahua. When Hua Nongying took his own initiative and said Dahua was dead in front of Dong Yuheng, she was dissatisfied with her, but she also thought it was caused by her weakness. At least she was conscious and sacrificed herself for Hua. The family is innocent. But since she entered the palace, things were placed one by one before her, she had to see Hua Nongying's character. It turned out that she had not been for the Hua family, but for her own glory and wealth. She was unwilling to give up the enjoyment of the lady, so she was willing to sacrifice herself to the "Sixth Prince". When she entered the palace and became the empress, she was determined to seize the emperor's favor, and put everything behind her and repeatedly used it on her...
Chen Ning has always had a clear distinction between love and hate. She is heartless to her friends and hates betrayal by those she trusted the most. The moment Hua Nongying actually contributed her to keep the emperor, she had already broken her gratitude in her heart.
Eyed wolves are not well-equipped.
"What's wrong with Madam? In the past, my wife loved me, but now she doesn't care about it. If my sister did something wrong, my wife just beat and scolded me. Why did she take a dull knife and cut my heart with a knife?" Hua Nongying knelt there, holding a handkerchief and crying.
Her eyes were a little cold, and Chen Ning thought that she had chosen a good place, and how should the women who were doing nothing be arranged by kneeling and crying like this? She had a good version of herself. The widow used her sisterly love to seduce the emperor, and kicked her sister away after she gained power.
She shook her head and said, "Do you don't plan for each other. You can just be aware of yourself in the future." After that, she left without looking back.
Hua Nongying didn't want her good wife to be so merciless. Is it true that the lady has been plotting against her since the beginning, just to attract His Majesty's attention? She turned pale and she collapsed and knelt on the ground.
Dong Yuheng was still staying in Qiankun Palace. The next day Chen Ning heard the eunuch's return from the inquiry, saying that there seemed to be another urgent report last night. His Majesty discussed important matters with the ministers in the study room, and he finally returned to the palace to rest until the third hour. At dawn, he got up and continued to discuss state affairs. The imperial kitchen has not heard from His Majesty's meals for a whole day.
“Didn’t you eat this morning?”
"Your Majesty has never given food." The eunuch paused and said, "Last night, the empress from two or three palaces sent people to send ginseng soup and other items, and they were all stopped outside the hall by the Grand Master Wanfu."
"Where is Your Majesty now?"
"Your Majesty and the adults are in the imperial study."
When the eunuch left, Madam Qin said, "Empress, did the old slave also ask the kitchen to make a ginseng soup and send it to you?" The imperial kitchen specializes in the imperial meals, and each palace in the harem has its own small kitchen.
Chen Ning frowned slightly.
Seeing this, Madam Qin continued to work hard: "Your Majesty drinks or not, it is also your wish."
Chen Ning then spoke, "If you send it, you have to let him eat it." He spent a lot of energy and forgot to eat and sleep. Even if he was strong, it would be bad.
Chen Ning was not so careful before, but when he thought about it, he felt so careful when he worked day and night.
Madam Qin said, "Your Majesty must be very happy to know about the Queen's concern. But Your Majesty has always been the only one. Eating depends on his wishes." She hinted that her thoughts were naive.
Chen Ning was helpless. Isn’t this a willful child who is uncontrollable? But this child has the power of life and death, and the people around him dare not twist his beards on his tiger's mouth.
She thought about it and gave an order.
Xu Yuchunxi Palace eunuch appeared at the door of Shangshu with a large food box.
A moment later, Wanfu led the eunuch inside and bowed to the inside in the study outside, saying, "Report to Your Majesty, the Empress of Chunxi Palace has brought food to Your Majesty."
Dong Yuheng was worried. He heard that he was disturbed by trivial matters and was about to give up. He heard that it was from Chunxi Palace. He suppressed his temper and said, "I won't eat it. Go back and tell the Empress that Concubine Rui is intent."
The eunuch did not accept the order, but instead said loudly outside: "Your Majesty, Concubine Rui said that people are iron and food is steel. Your Majesty is worried about the victims, so he should take care of the Dragon Body and direct the disaster relief."
Is a man a iron rice or a steel? What kind of weird remarks are this? Several courtiers inside looked at each other.
Dong Yuheng's eyebrows jumped. Although the sound seemed a little thicker... No wonder Wanfu put it in. She was so brave!
Later, I heard someone say outside, "Empress Rui Concubine also said that even if His Majesty is strong and strong, the adults will be hungry." I don't believe that the emperor will not eat them and they dare to eat them.
To be continued...
