Shen Yi's Darkness and Depression

Chapter 273

"Cough, cough, cough~" Shen Yixiang has been coughing badly in the morning these past few days, and the huge Yong'an Hall echoed the sound of the emperor's coughing, making one's heart chill in an ethereal way.

"Your majesty, did the concubine's incense burner choke you?" Concubine Jing asked cautiously while patting the emperor's back.

"It's okay, I coughed when I woke up in the morning, it seems that the previous cold illness has burned the root of the disease, and it will not work if it is a little colder." Shen Yixiang shook his head helplessly. In the past two years, his body has been aging obviously, which makes him very worried.

"Your Majesty, the dragon's body is not in good condition, so don't be in a hurry to go to the morning court. The concubine is very worried about you." Concubine Jing said very pitifully, and hurriedly ordered her servants to go to Duanchuanbei Xueli to relieve Shen Yixiang's cough.

"Small problem, it's okay." Shen Yixiang doesn't like sweets the least, he coughed chokingly after taking a sip of the soup, "cough cough cough~"

"Your majesty, since you fainted last time, you've been coughing all the time. Would you like to see the imperial physician again?" Concubine Jing's anxious eyes turned red and she almost shed tears. She was really worried about the emperor's body, Because grace is all her capital.

"My concubine, don't worry, I'm getting old after all, and I can't accept it anymore, cough cough cough ~" Shen Yixiang comforted, he felt that he was still suffering from a cold illness.

"Your Majesty, my concubine has a suggestion and I don't know if I should say it or not." Concubine Jing adjusted her posture, and it was too inappropriate to speak in a sobbing tone when talking about business.

"What worries does Aifei have? You are still so cautious when talking to me?" Shen Yixiang finally stopped coughing.

"The concubine wants to suggest that Your Majesty advance the prince's marriage." Concubine Jing said carefully, she had never cared about the prince's affairs.

"Why?" Shen Yixiang was puzzled.

"In order to cheer the emperor, the past three or two months have been uneven. Since the New Year's Eve banquet, the concubine always sees the emperor's frowning face. The concubine is anxious for the emperor but can't help." Concubine Jing used her trump card again. The pitiful appearance made the emperor very soft-hearted.

"When will it be early? Is it too hasty?" Shen Yixiang asked back. He likes Concubine Jing's understanding most on weekdays, and knows that she will not give suggestions for no reason.

"The concubine has entrusted the Prime Minister to calculate the auspicious day on the sixth day of the sixth lunar month, so that the auspicious day on the eighth day of the eighth month can be transferred to the third prince. Why not do double happiness?" Concubine Jing finally finished what she had been planning for many days , she dared to report to the emperor after she had done enough homework.

Concubine Jing never speaks casually about things she is not sure about. The most important rule she has learned in the harem for many years is to be silent, what should be said and what should not be said, what should be done and what should not be done, she Knows better than anyone.

"Why did Concubine Ai think of counting auspicious days?" Shen Yixiang was a little puzzled. He complained to Concubine Jing that he was in a hurry when it was scheduled for August. He didn't think Concubine Jing would forget what he said.

"A few days ago, the emperor was worried about Jin Ge's envoys all day long. The concubines saw it in their eyes and felt pain in their hearts. They just wanted to help the emperor share their worries, so they went to Mr. Xiang to take a look. Fortunately, it was an auspicious hexagram, and the emperor was happy that afternoon. Telling my concubine that the envoy has been rescued, it can be considered that my concubine did not go in vain." Concubine Jing said very sincerely, when the emperor confided to her, she only listened quietly and never asked more questions.

"My beloved concubine is worrying too much for me. There are too many variables in the affairs of the court, how can a divination be accurate." Shen Yixiang was very at ease, and was content to have such a gentle and considerate concubine like Jingfei.

"At that time, the concubines were very happy to figure out the auspicious hexagrams, but the Prime Minister reminded the concubines not to be overwhelmed with joy, and to pay more attention to the emperor's dragon body, and the concubines began to worry again, especially when they heard that the emperor had fainted that day, the concubines went again. I asked Mr. Xiang about it." Concubine Jing didn't dare to speak to Shen Yixiang according to Mr. Xiang's original words, it was too inauspicious to spoil the emperor's interest.

"What did Master Xiang say?" Shen Yixiang was slightly worried.

"He said that you don't have to worry too much, you can break the disaster by being overjoyed." Concubine Jing still said it very reservedly, she understood the emperor's wisdom, and she knew his original intention as soon as she heard it.

"My dear concubine, to be honest, sometimes I choose to believe in Mr. Xiang just to seek psychological comfort, but I don't think that destiny is a definite number, and all causes and effects are variables. How can it be known clearly through divination ?” Shen Yixiang’s contradiction may be because he sees it too thoroughly, some things he thinks are useless, but he has to do it for others to see, and he is worried and tired for the sake of the world, so that he is tired of it because of the red tape. Feel conflicted.

"The concubine is only worried about the emperor, and the matter of joy is just to seek comfort. Believe it or not, there is no conflict." Concubine Jing felt that she had said what she had to say and did what she had to do. It didn't matter if the emperor didn't accept it, anyway. Just do what she wants.

"Let's not mention the announcement of the prince's wedding date to the world. The date on the eighth day of the eighth lunar month is exactly what he calculated. Now he is the one who says ahead of time. How should I choose my beloved concubine?" Shen Yixiang questioned.

"My lord Xiang didn't say that we must advance the wedding date of the prince. It was the concubine's own decision. Moreover, the concubine heard that Concubine Xuan Gui was able to oversee the work and that the preparations for the relevant matters were almost ready, so the concubine boldly proposed this suggestion." Concubine Jing After earnestly persuading, the Prime Minister gave the account.

"I know that I love my concubine out of concern, and I will consider it." Shen Yixiang nodded in relief.

"Hasn't the emperor noticed that his concubines have been losing weight recently?" Concubine Jing changed her tactics and began to pity herself. She knew that it would be difficult for the emperor to tell the world in advance, but she felt that she could persuade the emperor.

"Worry about me and make you sick?" Shen Yixiang carefully observed the person in front of him.

"Isn't it? The harem's chores are complicated and worrying, and the concubines are really overwhelmed, alas~" Concubine Jing sighed heavily.

"My dear concubine has worked hard. I haven't let you preside over the harem for so many years because I was worried that you would be weak and that you would not be able to take care of yourself." Shen Yixiang clearly divided power and favor. , because most of people's troubles are self-inflicted, and there should be checks and balances and games no matter when and where.

"Your Majesty, my concubine understands that it is a concubine's honor to share your majesty's worries." Concubine Jing nodded and smiled, her coquettishness made Shen Yixiang's heart itch.

"Persevere, after the wedding is over, you won't have to worry about complicated and trivial matters, okay?" Shen Yixiang gently stroked Concubine Jing's fragile cheek.

"Well, for the sake of the emperor, the concubine can only be wronged and force herself to hold on." Concubine Jing rubbed her temples and frowned, her sick and shy appearance made the emperor feel distressed.

"Your Majesty, it's time to go to court early." Su Gonggong knew that he would displease the Emperor, but he still insisted on urging.

Being petted and arrogant, being dull becomes a sycophant; serving a pet without being arrogant, being wise and wise.
