Chapter 168 Shu Yao
The two argued until sunset.

Ye Qinghuai never imagined that one day Gu Shihai would praise Lin Yuxiu so much, but she herself was trying to reject Lin Yuxiu's promotion.

But this conversation with Gu Shihai made her discover one thing.

That is, Gu Shihai's attitude when talking to her was much tougher.

Although since Chunwei, Gu Shihai has never had a good attitude towards her, but it is often just a few sarcastic remarks.But this time was different, Gu Shihai put forward many suggestions on personnel and government affairs, and almost forced Ye Qinghuai to agree.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Gu Shihai looked out the window, got up and said, "It's getting late, Your Majesty, let's rest."

After finishing speaking, he took out a small box the size of a palm from his sleeve, walked up to Ye Qinghuai, put it on the case in front of Ye Qinghuai and said: "I heard from the queen that your majesty has been owed the Holy Body because of his labors in state affairs." Good, so I sent someone to find this medicine, hoping to help His Majesty recuperate a little bit."

Ye Qinghuai stared at the small box in front of her, startled.

Gu Shihai took a few steps back, and said to Ye Qinghuai: "Your Majesty, the heirs in the palace are now dying, which is a great disaster for the country. There are rumors in Beijing that your majesty has not been close to women since Concubine Lan left, and has developed a habit of breaking sleeves, which even caused the royal family Your Majesty, the foreign enemy is at present, such rumors are extremely detrimental to Your Majesty, the Empress, and the court. Now that Du Zhengen is about to be executed, Concubine Lan's wronged soul should go to bliss, and I hope His Majesty will make a decision soon."

Without waiting for Ye Qinghuai to open his mouth, Gu Shihai saluted and said, "I will take my leave."

After saying that, he backed out.

From the beginning to the end, he kept a straight face, which made Ye Qing feel an inexplicable pressure.

After Gu Shihai left, Ye Qinghuai opened the inconspicuous little box, and inside was a porcelain vase on the white brocade, which contained half a bottle of pills.

Ye Qinghuai frowned as she looked at the pearl-sized pill.
-
"Where did you get this medicine!" Zhou Shou just took a look at the medicine, blowing his beard and staring.

"What kind of medicine is this?" Ye Qinghuai asked instead of answering him.

Zhou Shouyi stumbled a little and said: "This is... This is a medicine for men. It is used to nourish essence and nourish yang. In short, you must not use it."

Aunt Fanghua at the side heard Zhou Shouyi's words and was so startled that she stopped working.

Ye Qinghuai was not surprised, she looked at the vial as if lost in thought.

Zhou Shouyi thought carefully about the pill in his hand, and murmured, "The medicine is indeed the best medicine..."

"My lord is in a hurry to hug my grandson, so of course I want to give him good medicine." Ye Qinghuai interrupted abruptly.

Hearing what Ye Qinghuai said, Zhou Shouyi and Aunt Fanghua immediately understood who gave the medicine.

"It's a pity that I'm useless..." Ye Qinghuai stretched his waist and said, "Since it's a good medicine, you can take it, Grandpa Zhou, and just leave the bottle to me."

"Mr. Gu Ge is really serious. How can someone give His Majesty something like this..." After Zhou Shou left, Aunt Fanghua muttered while changing Ye Qinghuai's clothes.

Ye Qinghuai sighed, and said: "Chen Yuansi is just asking for a fake to get emotional. If the Chen party really falls, Gu Shihai may be able to tie me to the queen's bed."

What Gu Shihai did today made her realize that in today's court, Chen Yuansi and Gu Shihai are indispensable.

If it falls to one side, the victorious side will definitely empty her, the emperor, in the next step.

With her current strength, she is far from being able to wrestle with either Chen Dang or Gu Dang.

She has to hide her strength and bide her time, waiting for the opportunity.

"Your Majesty, tomorrow is Princess Shu Yao's birthday, are you going to the harem?" Aunt Fanghua asked suddenly.

"Oh yes." Ye Qinghuai came back to her senses, "How old is she this year? Is she going to be in time?"

"Your Majesty, the princess is fourteen this year, and she will reach the age of Ji next year." Aunt Fanghua replied.

After Emperor Shunping ascended the throne, his health was not very good, so Ye Qinghuai, the fourth prince, had only two younger brothers and two younger sisters.The fifth younger brother died in the Renshen Rebellion because he was the younger brother of the prince.The sixth brother was born weak and died before he was one year old.The little sister also suffered from a serious illness when she was young, and she didn't survive.

Therefore, among the peers who are younger than Ye Qinghuai, there is only this sister Shu Yao.

There are two older sisters above her, but they have already been titled and married, so there is only this princess in the harem now.

Shu Yao's biological mother came from a mediocre family and her status was not high, she was conferred the title of concubine only after she gave birth to a princess.Ye Qinghuai was closely watched over by Empress Dowager Jingmin when she was young, and she didn't have much contact with this younger sister.However, since she came to the throne, she has become very fond of this princess. Not only are there constant rewards every year, but also the best seats will be reserved for her at various banquets in the palace. The princess's birthday is even more lively every year.

"Have you hired a troupe this year?" Ye Qinghuai asked.

Princess Shu Yao is not a fair lady like her name, on the contrary, she has a very eccentric personality, and her favorite thing is to watch acrobatics and tricks.

Two years ago, on her birthday, Ye Qinghuai had someone find an opera troupe from outside the palace to perform for her.

"This year too." Aunt Fanghua replied.

Ye Qinghuai thought for a moment, then murmured: "After the mother's death, this is the first major event in the harem. Presumably the queen and the imperial concubine will come."

In this way, she hadn't seen the queen and concubine for a long time.

The queen is impatient, presumably she told Gu Shihai that the two of them hadn't consummated their marriage so far, so Gu Shihai sent such medicine.

However, did Gu Shihai really think that the emperor's sexual intercourse was difficult?

In fact, even if Ye Qinghuai was a lively man, he probably wouldn't touch the queen.

Naturally, Gu Shihai would not fail to understand the reason.

He did not expect the emperor to take his medicine when he sent the bottle of medicine today.

More probably to put pressure on the emperor.

Ye Qinghuai also understood his intentions.

It seems that I have to meet the queen to comfort her a little bit.Ye Qing said heartily.

"Auntie, send a message to the harem tomorrow morning, saying that I will go to spend Shu Yao's birthday with me when I leave court." Ye Qinghuai said.

Aunt Fanghua bowed her head in response, and after a while, she asked, "I don't understand why Your Majesty cares so much about Princess Shu Yao?"

Ye Qinghuai was silent, and said: "In the past, I often wondered what I would look like if I was not the fourth prince of my father, but a princess. Later, when I saw Shu Yao, I knew what I would look like. .”

She was wearing a middle coat and sitting on the bed, her voice seemed a little lonely.

Aunt Fanghua was about to speak out to comfort her, but she looked up and smiled at Aunt Fanghua, saying: "So I always want to see her. Looking at her, I feel relieved."

Aunt Fanghua felt pain in her heart, and after a while, she asked, "Your Majesty still wants to abdicate now, and go out of the palace to travel around in the future?"
