It’s hard to break a phoenix’s destiny

Chapter 476 Please Be My Right Hand

"The Emperor has arrived!" The sharp voice of the little eunuch came from the gate of Tianyuan Palace. Yang Xianrong could not help but frowning and quickly lay down. The speed of her movement scared Concubine Pei.

But she understood the next moment, because Sima Chi had pushed open the door of the bedroom and walked in with big strides, followed by many eunuchs and palace maids. Looking at the scene, it was much grander, even more than the number of people Sima Zhong brought with him back then.

Yang Zongguan followed behind Sima Chi, holding a golden box in his hand, and stood beside him with his back bent. Sima Chi had gained some weight, and his face was ruddy, and he seemed to be in a good mood.

"Is Queen Hui feeling better now?" Sima Chi just glanced at Concubine Pei and raised his hand slightly, indicating that she didn't need to salute.

Cui Xi and Lu Zhu had already squeezed in from the door and knelt at Sima Chi's feet.

Cui Xi whispered, "Queen Hui took the medicine today and felt much better. She said she must thank the emperor for sending her the Ganoderma lucidum. It is so precious."

"As long as it works, money is just something outside of our body." Sima Chi smiled, then sat down beside Yang Xianrong's bed and looked down at her with tenderness in his eyes.

Yang Xianrong opened her eyes wide and looked at him, smiling, "Your Majesty, are you able to come and see me today? Concubine Pei came over and talked for a while, and I was tired, so I lay down."

"It's okay, just lie down, and let's talk for a while." Sima Chi touched the corner of the quilt, "The weather is getting cold. If there is anything missing in your palace, you must tell me and I will have someone send it to you immediately, so that those people outside will not spread rumors that I treat you harshly."

"How did these rumors start? Has the emperor ever investigated?" Yang Xianrong suddenly asked.

"That's not the case." Sima Chi saw Concubine Pei still standing by the side, so he motioned for her to sit down too. How could Concubine Pei sit on the bed with Sima Chi? Lu Zhu hurriedly moved the embroidered cushion over. Cui Xi hurried over again, helped Yang Xianrong sit up, and added a lot of cushions behind her.

Recently, because of taking care of Yang Xianrong, Cui Xi was a little overwhelmed even though she was in good health. She accidentally dropped the cushion at Sima Chi's feet. Cui Xi quickly knelt down to admit her mistake and reached out to brush off the faint dust on his dragon boots.

It was really busy, and Sima Chi frowned again. "What medicine did Queen Hui take today? Why is there still a smell in the room that makes me feel dizzy?"

Hearing what he said, Concubine Pei suddenly felt dizzy and reached out to hold the bed. Yang Xianrong glanced at her and sighed softly: "Your Majesty must come to Tianyuan Palace less often. If the disease is passed on to you, wouldn't it be my fault?"

"Hey, it's been more than a month, and you're still not well. How can I be at ease?" Sima Chi's face was really sincere. "I was thinking, I'm afraid you want to blame me for killing the bandits in Zijing Mountain? But I heard that Queen Hui became the big brother of Zijing Mountain because she made pancakes."

"So?" Yang Xianrong laughed, "Does the Emperor also want to destroy me?"

"Hey, hey, hey, that's not what I meant. I just think it's really funny. You have to know that I rushed up the mountain at that time because I was afraid that something might happen to you. I was really anxious. As a result, you actually..." Sima Chi also laughed, and even wanted to reach out and touch Yang Xianrong's hand, but because Concubine Pei was also sitting here, he held back.

"It's the only solution." Yang Xianrong sighed softly, "It was a situation like that. Fortunately, the emperor came. By the way, what has the emperor been doing these days? I heard that Empress Liang is looking for a beauty for you?"

"...You know everything so soon?" Sima Chi's eyes widened. "This is all done by Empress Liang. It has nothing to do with me. I didn't mean it that way." "In fact, at your age, you should have more concubines...to have more children." Yang Xianrong's eyes were smiling, making people dizzy. Sima Chi couldn't help but touch her, but unexpectedly, Cui Xi handed Yang Xianrong a cup of hot tea, and he almost bumped into her. The hot tea spilled and dripped on the back of Sima Chi's hand, startling him and he immediately dodged.

Cui Xi also had hot tea in her hand, but she had hurt the emperor, which was a serious crime. Therefore, Cui Xi quickly knelt at Sima Chi's feet and cried, "Your Majesty, please spare me, I was careless..."

Yang Zongguan had been standing beside Sima Chi holding a box. Seeing this, he immediately shouted, "What is this? Someone, drag him away!"

"No!" Yang Xianrong shouted hastily, and then coughed violently, which frightened Sima Chi very much. He asked, "Don't worry, don't worry, it's okay, I didn't get burned. Yang Zongguan, don't shout loudly, Queen Hui is still sick!"

"Yes, yes, yes." Manager Yang also knelt down and admitted his mistake. "I was wrong."

"Okay, it's not a big deal, everyone get up." Sima Chi was very generous and waved his hand, "Manager Yang, take the box in your hand."

Manager Yang held up the box.

This is an exquisite lacquer box with a black background, red flowers and gold foil mother-of-pearl in it, which looks very noble.

"This is the golden book I gave to Queen Hui." Sima Chi opened the lacquer box. Inside was a palm-sized gold medal set off by bright yellow silk. It looked very thick and felt very weighty when held in the hand.

He placed the gold medal in Yang Xianrong's hands, but Yang Xianrong didn't expect it to be so heavy, and both of her hands fell on the bedding.

Manager Yang opened his mouth again, but no sound came out.

Because Sima Chi held Yang Xianrong's hand, they were very intimate.

"Golden Book?" Yang Xianrong was obviously a little surprised. "What is the emperor going to do?"

Sima Chi looked at her seriously and said word by word: "I hope Queen Hui can help me, be my right-hand man, and manage the country of Dajin together."

"What?" This time, everyone in the room was surprised and wide-eyed. Concubine Pei even knelt on the ground, not believing what she heard, but guessing something else in her mind.

Yang Xianrong had already said, "Your Majesty, this is against the rules and will be ridiculed by the people of the world." She wanted to pull her hand out of Sima Chi's, but he held it tightly in her hand and she could not move at all.

"I'm not afraid of being laughed at by you or Concubine Pei." Sima Chi said seriously, "I haven't been the emperor for long, many people don't obey me, and there are too many rumors. But I really want to do something for the Great Jin, so that this country can be restored to its former state as soon as possible. Well... you also know that I have no people, no soldiers, no money, and those ministers always make things difficult for me... I heard that Queen Hui is smart and solved the case of the King of Chengdu's wife-killing, as well as the shakuhachi case in the palace, and so on. So, can you help me establish my authority in the court and be my good wife?"
