little wife

Chapter 68

There was some silence in the imperial study room. Emperor Shenghe took Yang Zhan's memorial and stood up, opened it while pacing and read: "... Seeing beetles in the elm wood, I feel suspicious, but it is the heart of An Beizhou, Erchen pretended to be sick, and secretly asked Zhonglang to thoroughly investigate Jing Yun..."

The sound stopped abruptly, replaced by a coughing sound, and Jing Yun could clearly hear some murmurs in the chest cavity.

His heart tightened, he took a step forward involuntarily, opened his mouth, but swallowed what he wanted to say.

With a "snap", Emperor Shenghe threw the memorial on the table, and sneered: "Those subordinate officials in the Eastern Palace, each of whom is sitting on a vegetarian meal, is serious and unmoving, and they are better than each other when they come up with bad ideas!"

Jing Yun was stunned, and suddenly realized that he might not be able to hide their every move from the people of Emperor Shenghe who were placed in the East Palace and Sifang Pavilion.

He was silent for a moment before saying: "The candidates for the East Palace were chosen by His Majesty on behalf of His Highness the Crown Prince."

Emperor Shenghe was not angry when he choked, but said slowly: "Even if it is the same precious sword, in the hands of a knight it is a sharp blade for eradicating rape and evil, and in the hands of a farmer it is a kitchen knife for chopping firewood and cooking."

"His Royal Highness is lenient and benevolent. He made this decision only to gain some praise from His Majesty. Please be merciful to him. His health has improved these days, and he has been sharpened in government affairs. He must be more decisive." Jing Jing Yun thought about it.

Emperor Shenghe stared at him for a long time, and then said indifferently: "You are quite towards him."

"Your Majesty has appointed the crown prince, how dare I not sincerely assist you?" Jing Yun's voice was respectful.

Emperor Shenghe smiled and said casually, "Then what if I choose someone else?"

The imperial study room was silent, Eunuch Tian and the servants were waiting outside the door, there seemed to be a slight metallic sound in his ears, and Jing Yun had a momentary heart palpitation.

other people.

Who else?
Yang Hao or Yang Yan?
This is not good news for Jing Yun.

He was silent for a moment and said: "The emperor is the emperor and the minister is the minister. As the son of heaven, your majesty has a lot of things in his chest. No matter who the prince is, your majesty must have weighed it in his heart countless times, and it must be a choice that is beneficial to Da Chen's future generations. If the person is useful to me, I will smash my body to pieces to repay the great Chen Jiangshan community; "

Emperor Shenghe looked at him, his eyes were deep and difficult to read, and after a while he smiled slightly, and suddenly changed the subject: "Do you think Dali Temple can judge the mastermind behind that scene?"

Jing Yun shook his head: "This person is thoughtful and has been planning for a long time, so I'm afraid it will be difficult."

"Then who do you think it might be?"

Jing Yun pondered for a moment and said: "There are three consequences to this matter. One is that His Royal Highness and King Ding may not like His Majesty. The other is that the mouth is actually in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. The third is that it is said that Nalu Yi is the original Northern Zhou Dynasty. The uncle of the first prince and the current emperor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty did not have the same relationship from the beginning. As long as we start from these three points, the mastermind can be delineated in a small area. The people of the Northern Zhou Dynasty behave suspiciously, so we have to guard against them."

The two looked at each other, and they both saw a bit of worry in each other's eyes.

If this matter was a plan of killing two birds with one stone by the people of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, I am afraid that there would have been spies and internal agents of the people of the Northern Zhou Dynasty in the capital.

"Northern Zhou..." Emperor Sheng He's eyes suddenly turned cold. Da Chen and Bei Zhou have always been old enemies. The Northern Zhou army was able to keep the Northern Zhou army out of the country, but was unable to go further. The border was often plundered by the Northern Zhou. The first emperor was defeated by the Northern Zhou when he was there. The city was returned.

Over the years, Emperor Shenghe has never dared to forget this confidant's serious trouble. He cultivated his health and reorganized his military equipment. Over the years, there has been a slight improvement, and he has trained many generals with potential. However, the chronic illness in the army has been serious over the years. Overnight.

"It seems that we have to defend the northwest," he said after pondering for a moment, with a trace of worry flashing in his eyes, "Marquis Xinyi is getting old and suffering from chronic illnesses; Zhao Bin is good on paper, but unfortunately he has never actually fought."

Jing Yun's heart moved, but he suppressed it again.

"You go back. You should keep a close eye on the mission. Don't let them take advantage of it." Emperor Sheng He waved his hand, signaling him to leave, while he sat at the table with his brows deeply frowned. The pen came to draw circles on the paper, thinking of the place where he was concentrating, he unconsciously covered his chest and coughed twice.

Jing Yun was not in a hurry to leave, but just looked at it silently for a moment, with a sense of astringency in his heart for no reason, and quietly retreated.

Outside the door, Eunuch Tian greeted him as soon as he came out, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I heard His Majesty cough several times, don't you worry?"

This Eunuch Tian's name is Tian Feng, and he has been with Emperor Shenghe since he was a child. He has won the trust of Emperor Shenghe all the way from a small eunuch official to the current head of the imperial court.Jing Yun took a look at him and knew in his heart that no one would know better than him how Emperor Shenghe's health was, and he was looking for something to say.

"It's a blessing for our ministers that Your Majesty has devoted all his efforts to the Great Chen, but tomorrow will be His Majesty's [-]th birthday. After all, he is not as easy to get tired as when he was young. I also ask Eunuch Tian to persuade Your Majesty more. One piece and one piece of relaxation is the way of civil and military affairs." Jing Yun knew that he shouldn't talk too much, but he still couldn't help but say a few words.

Eunuch Tian was stunned for a moment, and the creases at the corners of his eyes suddenly turned into a flower of laughter: "Your Majesty still has a heart, and the servant persuades you every day, but one sentence from the Majesty is worth more than a hundred words from the servant, and the Majesty has more time to come to see Your Majesty." That's good."

Jing Yun was a little embarrassed, but still had no expression on his face, and strode out of the imperial study room.

Eunuch Tian watched his back disappear outside the eaves of the corridor, and immediately went into the house happily, and changed tea for Emperor Shenghe. Seeing that there was only some residual ink left by Emperor Shenghe's hand, he held the ink ingot and began to grind: "Your Majesty, looking at Jue Jue, I'm afraid I still miss you in my heart."

Emperor Shenghe's hand trembled, and the nib of the pen marking the memorial paused, leaving an ink mark on it.

"The slave sees that the son is extremely kind to the young lady," Eunuch Tian suggested again, "The young lady seems to be very caring, so why don't the nobles in the palace invite the young lady to come and walk around, so that After going back and forth a few times, the young lady must be able to persuade the prince more."

Emperor Shenghe raised his eyes, and his eyes were full of melancholy: "Yes, Yun'er really loves her like a treasure, but the love is deep and lifeless, but I am a little worried that he is too affectionate. His temper has never been born in childhood. Royal, otherwise I’m afraid it will be a heart-rending battle. Now that he refuses to return to the sect, it may be a good thing for him.”

Eunuch Tian was stunned for a moment, then cautiously said: "Then Your Majesty... forget it?"

Emperor Shenghe snorted softly, and the trace of melancholy was swept away: "How can it be forgotten? Let him have a good time first, to sharpen his mind."

Eunuch Tian suddenly realized: "Your Majesty, it turns out that this is playing hard to get. It is really clever."

Emperor Sheng He glanced at him: "Is it because you are free? How is the birthday banquet arrangement tomorrow? The Court's Ministry of Rituals is here, and you in the inner palace can help Concubine Mei a little bit."

"It's been arranged a long time ago. This servant will go to inspect it again. There can't be any mistakes." Eunuch Tian retreated with a smile. Before he could leave the door, Emperor Shenghe called him again, paused for a moment and said : "Arrange Yun'er's seat closer to the front, and, why not call his wife as well."

The next day, Emperor Shenghe's birthday banquet was held in the Zichen Hall. The Zichen Hall's double-eave roof was majestic. On this day, it was even covered with gold-painted embroidered carpets and flowers on the ground. Share royal majesty.

The birthday banquet is divided into inner banquet and outer banquet. The outer banquet is set in the Zichen Hall, with a long case on the floor, where congratulatory envoys, high-ranking officials, and relatives of the emperor gather. The family members of the vassal king, the wives with imperial orders, etc.

Ning Luo didn't expect that she would attend the emperor's birthday banquet. It was full of nobles, and there were few people like her who didn't even have a grade. She even placed her position among a group of princesses and princesses of the county. It is only a few steps away from the main concubine Meihuang.

Once she comes, she will be safe. Ning Luo was born in Ningguo Duke's Mansion, and she also entered Rui Wang's Mansion in her previous life. Her maternal ancestral family is also a wealthy businessman from the south of the Yangtze River. In the past few days, the girl's pure spirit has not diminished, but her brows have become a bit more feminine. In addition, her appearance is beautiful, her complexion is soft and fair, and her jewelry and clothes are noble but not gaudy. Others are not bad at all.

During the banquet, the family members of the vassal princes didn't come to the capital often, and they didn't know who she was. They inquired in a low voice who the "fairy-like" woman was. When they heard that it was Mrs. Ding Yunhou, they were all shocked and couldn't help but tsk tsk admiration.

Zhao Daiyun was choked up listening to it, looked at it coldly for a while, and then sat down beside the Crown Princess Chen Shi by persuading her to drink. She greeted her with all her heart, and Chen Shi is a gentle and gentle person. That unhappiness has long since dissipated.

"Emperor's Sister-in-law, she doesn't have a commandment, and Jing Yun's grade is not enough, why did she come to this Zichen Palace?" Zhao Daiyun gestured to her side.

After hearing the rumors, Mrs. Chen saw Ning Luo at the place of Imperial Concubine Mei, and she was always a little unhappy. She thought that Ning Luo would always come to explain something, but she didn't see anyone after waiting for several days. It's even more uncomfortable to see it.However, she has always maintained her identity and is not good at speaking ill of others, so she just said lightly: "Who knows?"

Zhao Daiyun smiled implicitly: "Sister-in-law Huang is kind-hearted and thinks of the best in everything. When I went to the palace to pay her respects, I saw a painting and calligraphy by Concubine Mei. I saw it in her boudoir before. "

Chen's complexion changed, and he squeezed out a smile: "She is a fan of elegance."

Zhao Daiyun didn't point it out, and returned to her seat after persuading her to drink. She raised her eyes and looked at Ning Luo, who was two seats away. The skirt, the eyebrows are cut like leaves, the eyes are like autumn water, and the color is like spring flowers, which makes people jealous.

That's it, as long as Ning Luo is there, she, Zhao Daiyun, seems to be overwhelmed, and she will never have a bright future. This is the case in the women's hall, and it is also the same in Rui Wang's mansion.But now it seems that she has a noble status, but she needs to think hard all the way, or she will be turned over by Ning Luo and ride on top of her head one day.Yang Yanming didn't say anything about it, but secretly he was thinking about this woman all the time, even taking care of Mrs. Ru, who was only two points similar, and now she was pregnant first.

Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth with hatred.

As if aware of Zhao Daiyun's gaze, Ning Luo looked over, eyes met, Zhao Daiyun smiled, leaned forward and raised the wine cup in her hand: "Sister Ning, how are you doing?"

Ning Luo's eyes were cold, and he said indifferently: "It's okay, thank you Princess Rui for your concern."

"My little sister Xuan misses you all day long. She is pregnant, so you can come and see her when you have time."

Ning Luo's heart sank, Ning Xuan hadn't gone to another hospital to recuperate yet?

"She made a fuss about going to another courtyard a while ago, and the lord agreed, but it's His Majesty's birthday, she is also a decent junior, and she is busy going in and out of the house. I just became a villain and didn't answer." Zhao Daiyun looked at her face, feeling a burst of joy in her heart, "June [-]th will be here soon, I'm afraid sister Xuan won't be able to leave for a while."

Ning Luo's fingertips holding the wine cup trembled slightly, and it took a while before she said: "Heaven is reincarnated, and I hope that the princess will have good thoughts in her heart and accumulate blessings for the next life."
