Invincible son

Chapter 911 910 [Junchen father and son]

Imperial City, Jingren Palace.

Emperor Kaiping leaned on the couch and closed his eyes to rest his mind, while Concubine Wu Guiyi leaned aside and kneaded his shoulders for him.

As long as the emperor is here, she will never pretend to be a maid for such a job as a waiter, and has always done it herself, and it has been consistent for more than [-] years.From the green girl when she married into the palace to the graceful and dignified imperial concubine, she seems to have not changed at all, and her heart and eyes are full of love and admiration for Emperor Kaiping.

Agarwood is curling up, quiet and elegant, and the maids are silent.

Emperor Kaiping opened his eyes slightly, and asked gently, "What time is it?"

Concubine Wu Gui slowed down her movements and replied with a smile: "Your Majesty, it's just past time."

Emperor Kaiping thought for a while, then pondered: "Today's dinner should still be served in the side hall."

Concubine Wu Guifei hesitated for a while, and then gently dissuaded her: "Your Majesty, concubines should not talk too much about reasoning, but the New Year's Eve is approaching, and all matters in the palace are handled by the empress, and they work very hard day and night. Concubine wants to ask His Majesty for permission. How about going to see Jingtai Palace tonight?"

Jingtai Palace is the bedroom of Empress Chen.

Emperor Kaiping was not surprised to hear these words from her mouth, and said with a smile: "Your temperament is the same as before, but you don't have to be too virtuous. I am the emperor, and I need to take responsibility for the prosperity of the entire beam. The queen is The lord of the Sixth Palace naturally has to take care of all affairs in the harem. This is how the universe and the earth perform their duties in an orderly manner. If I don't let her bother, the queen will think wildly."

Concubine Wu Gui smiled lightly and said: "Your Majesty, my concubine understands this truth, but my concubine is also a woman and knows what a woman thinks. The queen empress is virtuous and virtuous, and she is kind and gentle to her concubines and other concubines, which is rare in ancient times and modern times." Majesty, but this does not conflict with wanting to see His Majesty more, and His Majesty should not be too partial. The concubines are not pretending to win His Majesty's favor, but the harem is not like ordinary people's back houses. If you want a long-term peace and harmony, you still have to Your Majesty, work harder."

Emperor Kaiping sighed lightly, and finally nodded.

The gentle look in Wu Guifei's eyes does not seem to be fake.

Emperor Kaiping said again: "I promise you this matter, but there is one thing you have to obey me."

Concubine Wu Gui respectfully said: "Please give orders, Your Majesty."

Emperor Kaiping said: "In a few days, the New Year's Eve will be celebrated, and you will go with me."

Concubine Wu's complexion changed slightly, she did not intend to be surprised, but shook her head and said: "Your Majesty, this is not in accordance with the rules of etiquette."

Before the crown prince was established, the emperor had always been the emperor's chief priest and the empress to accompany the ancestor worship at the end of the year, and everyone else, no matter the concubine or the prince, had to kneel down.Emperor Kaiping's words were obviously intended to forcibly elevate the status of Concubine Wu Gui, and in the eyes of some courtiers, it might become a signal that she is about to be abolished.

Emperor Kaiping explained: "Don't be nervous, I will tell those in the Ministry of Rites that there is no need to disrupt the previous arrangements, just add a schedule for you on my right."

Concubine Wu understands the deep meaning of the emperor's actions. Obviously, she wants to send a message to the courtiers. The status of the queen and the concubine in his heart is not very different. Moreover, the concubine is the No. 1 queen in the harem. Known as the "Deputy Queen".In the final analysis, Emperor Kaiping wanted to create momentum for the eldest prince to fight for the throne, so that the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty could adapt to his status as soon as possible.

Concubine Wu Guifei pondered for a moment, then said firmly: "Your Majesty, it is not because of concubines who are arrogant because of favors, but the ceremonies of the heavenly family cannot be ignored in the slightest. How can you modify the rules set by the ancestors because of concubines? In fact, Your Majesty allows the virtuous to compete for the crown prince." For the position, the ministers and concubines are already grateful, and will not dare to have other thoughts."

Emperor Kaiping smiled slightly, nodded and said: "It's better if you consider it more thoroughly, so let's leave it at that."

Concubine Wu Gui knew how well the temperament of the Supreme Being around her was. Just hearing this, she knew that her guess was correct. This was just a simple temptation by the emperor, so she couldn't help but secretly heaved a sigh of relief. .

At this moment, someone from the palace came in and reported to the eldest prince to see him, Emperor Kaiping raised his eyebrows and said, "Let him in."

Liu Xian walked in slowly, came to the front and knelt down to salute: "I pay my respects to my father, mother and concubine."

Emperor Kaiping said: "Pingshen. Have you met Pei Yue?"

Liu Xian replied: "Yes, father. My son talked with the Marquis of Zhongshan a lot, and his words benefited him a lot."

Concubine Wu Gui showed a look of joy, and asked with a smile: "It's rare to hear you praise someone, I don't know what he said, which made you so concerned, why don't you say it and let your father comment on it."

Liu Xian raised his head and glanced at Emperor Kaiping. After hesitating for a while, he mustered up his courage and said, "Father, I would like to ask you one thing."

Emperor Kaiping's face did not change, but his eyes became obviously colder, and he said lightly: "What's the matter?"

Liu Xiandao: "I feel that bestowing a marriage is not a good idea, so I implore my father to let this matter go."

Concubine Wu Gui was slightly taken aback.

Emperor Kaiping asked indifferently: "What did I tell you before?"

Liu Xian lowered his eyes and said: "I remember, my father asked my minister to advise Pei Yue to accept the marriage, and the emperor's fingering of marriage did not affect his previous marriage contract. The mother and concubine also mentioned something to my son. For Pei Yue himself, the Tian family is a way to get the best of both worlds. Compared with Pei Yue's future foothold and the prosperity of those around him, the conflicts he had in Pingyang before can be completely resolved."

Concubine Wu Gui wondered: "You child... Since you understand this truth, why don't you just follow your father's instructions?"

It was no secret in the palace that Liu Xian was afraid of Emperor Kaiping. In fact, among the many princes, only the fourth prince could maintain a bit of courage in front of the emperor, and everyone else was like avoiding cats and mice.

For so many years in the past, Liu Xian was submissive in front of Emperor Kaiping, but at this moment he said frankly: "Father, if you force Pei Yue to marry Pingyang, it will only completely push this subject to the opposite side, and at the same time, it will harm Pingyang. lifetime."

Emperor Kaiping frowned and said, "Are you questioning me?"

Liu Xian quickly shook his head and said: "I dare not question my father, I just don't want to see Pingyang die alone in the future. Perhaps in some people's eyes, Pingyang, as a princess, has an arrogant temperament and often has the tendency to be unreasonable and deceiving. But after all, she is Erchen's younger sister, and also... also the daughter of Father Emperor and Mother Concubine, after all, I hope she can have a good home. Father Emperor, Mother Concubine, Erchen will often persuade Pingyang in the future, just ask She can learn to respect others. In fact, she has been confined in the palace this year, and she has changed a lot..."

"It's nonsense, nonsense!"

Emperor Kaiping's scolding interrupted Liu Xian's statement, and he said with a stern face: "I don't want to hear you chatting like a woman, I just ask you, what kind of ecstasy soup did Pei Yue pour into you, so that you can't tell North, south, east, and west!"

Liu Xian's heart trembled, but after thinking back on his thoughts on the way back to the palace, he became firm again, and boldly said: "Father, my son believes in Pei Yue's loyalty, as long as he treats such a minister sincerely, he will definitely He won't go astray. On the contrary, if he blindly suppresses and restrains him, he will be dissatisfied. Once someone with ulterior motives takes the opportunity to plant bad seeds in his heart, it may lead to chaos. Father Huang used to hold Pei Yue incomparably high and trust, but I don't know if I listened to some villain's slander..."

"Liu Xian!"

Concubine Wu Guifei's face was full of power, and a soft reprimand made the warm air in the hall become a bit colder.

There was undisguised genuine anger in her eyes.
