The Legend of the Loved One

Chapter 112

At night, Qinzheng Palace.

After finally finishing all the important matters, the king before the case put down his pen and rubbed his forehead.

Seeing this, Liangxi, who had been waiting for two hours, hurried forward to persuade him, "Your Majesty, no matter how busy the government is, you must take care of your dragon's body!"

Song Chen closed his eyes and hummed, "What time is it?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it's already two quarters of the Hai hour." Liang Xi bowed his waist and replied.

It's so late.Song Chen paused, then suddenly remembered that he planned to go to appease Chu Xue earlier, but unexpectedly it took so long.

The king got up immediately and hurriedly said, "Go to Yufu Palace."

"Yes, let's drive Yufu Palace."

Liangxi sang loudly, naturally there were palace guards leading the way, but within half a cup of tea, the royal driver had arrived at Yufu Palace.

When he saw Chu Xue who was waiting by the side when he entered the door, he felt distressed and guilty. The children had already gone to bed, but she was the only one who was still staying up late waiting. He pulled her up and took him to the hall in person, and asked softly, "I'm late. , thank you for waiting all night."

She smiled softly, and said: "It's right for a concubine to wait for the emperor. Besides, there are children to accompany her, and she doesn't feel tired. It's the emperor who has been tired all day, so it's really hard work."

Her words are always heart-warming, the hall is cool, and there is the refreshing fragrance of flowers, he is completely relaxed, like a bird that has been flying all day and finally returned to its nest.

Knowing his hard work, she specially prepared a soothing soup, ordered someone to bring it for him to drink, and then personally served him to take a bath.

It's late, so let's talk about the two people's personal words in the curtain.

After taking a bath, he went up to the couch and took the beauty into his arms. Song Chen finally said guiltily: "It's my negligence that put you in danger many times, don't blame me."

He is a high-ranking king, but his voice was so gloomy at this time, she was a little bit sorry, and instead comforted him, saying: "The emperor is serious, it is not you who harmed my concubine, and you are not the one who caused it, so please don't blame yourself."

Hearing this, Song Chen suddenly felt that the recent troubles were all caused by the selection of concubines. Although he had never met those people, he still caused troubles for Xue Er. If he can deny it when choosing a concubine, then these things will not happen!
He used to think that it was nothing important to just pick a few people to put in the harem to stop the mouths of those officials. At this moment, Song Chen suddenly realized that although those women had no intention of touching them, after entering the palace, they repeatedly caused troubles to hurt him. The person who cared, he did wrong at the beginning.

I have no intention of choosing a concubine, so I can just veto it, but Xue'er can still do it by herself!
He suddenly lowered his head, kissed her forehead, and said: "From now on, I won't let the harem add more people!"

When these words came out, she suddenly paused, raised her eyes to look at him uncontrollably, and asked, "Your Majesty really?"

"Yeah." He looked back, and said half-seriously with a smile on his face: "You are not joking, of course you take it seriously." He stroked the hair on her shoulders, "Are you happy?"

She smiled, although it was only a slight smile, but it could make people feel her joy from the bottom of their hearts.

She nodded, lowering her eyes and said: "Your Majesty is the son of heaven, and if he can give up his big plan for a mere concubine, although the concubine is happy, she is really terrified."

"What plan did I give up?" He asked with a smile.

She raised her eyes to look at him, "Isn't it the great plan of the country to extend the emperor's heir?"

But he laughed heartily, and said: "These are just a cover. Since you came, have I met anyone else? Besides, Xue'er can still continue to have children for me. In just five years, she has already given birth to three children for me." Yes, the credit is really not small.”

She became humble and said with a sly smile: "These are the emperor's greatest contributions."

The words on the couch became charming, he couldn't help pressing her under him, and said softly while kissing: "When the blood recovers in a few days, ask the imperial hospital to prescribe some harmless prescriptions, let's avoid them for now." , wait for the first half of the year, and then have a child."

His voice was low and gentle, and he was about to melt her into kisses. She was in a daze, but she forced herself to ask him with the remaining rationality: "Does the emperor not want a child?"

"I think about it, but I'm afraid of your hard work, Xue'er, you don't know, every time you give birth, I'm actually very worried..."

"emperor……"

As Chu Xue expected, on the second day, when the imperial edict to demote Zhao Chu was issued, the court was immediately shocked.

As in the past, the situation was similar when the post-abolition was over, and someone immediately stood up to express doubts, especially Xu Jilin, Duke of Peiguo, who had inherited his father's lord, tried his best to remonstrate, saying that Zhao Chu had been the Minister of the Ministry of War for more than ten years, Song Chen's move It's too merciless.

This is an imperial decree promulgated in court, and the words of the king will take effect immediately. Xu Jilin's questioning is actually a mantis arm, but even if he understands, he has no choice but to do so, because he is a general, and the foundation of the Xu family is also here. He is his person, and his own person is the head of the military department, which can give him the greatest sense of security. If Zhao Chuan becomes a third-rank servant who wants to obey others, the effect will be greatly reduced. What else can he have if he wants such a person? use?

If even Zhao Chu loses the right to speak, will his military power become a piece of fish on the chopping board in the future, ready to be slaughtered?

But this sentence finally angered Song Chen. He is the emperor, how can he allow others to question the imperial decree he issued?
He squinted his handsome eyes, staring straight at Xu Jilin who was standing bowed down, and said coldly: "What is merciless? What kind of sympathy do you need for Mrs. Zhao to commit such a serious crime? Is Mr. Pei recent?" Too tired, have you forgotten all the laws of Daqi? The Zhao family is dirty and chaotic. I only demoted Zhao Chu because I was thinking of him. I know what to do when officials are promoted, and I need you to teach them Is it? This matter cannot be further discussed and will take effect immediately.”

There was frost in the king's cold eyes, and then he said coldly: "Also, since Pei Guogong is so unfamiliar with the law, it's time to review it carefully. After leaving the court, he copied the "Da Qi Law" fifty times, Deliver it tomorrow morning!"

There was no sound in the hall. Although this move was not a move to demote officials, it was as powerful as a slap in the face. The majestic Duke Pei actually wants to copy books?It's a joke in the world!
But when the imperial decree came to fruition, as a subject, how could he resist the decree?
He wanted to fight for Zhao Chu, but in the end he was punished himself. Although it was not painful, but he, a duke who is nearly fifty years old, did such a childish thing, which is really embarrassing.But no matter what, Xu Jilin has to bear it down. Resisting the order and disrespecting it is a serious crime.

Duke Pei endured it again and again, and finally he lifted his robe, knelt down and kowtowed, "I obey the order."

The king withdrew his gaze like a knife, and continued to issue the next imperial edict.

May is over, officially entering the hot summer.

This year's sun seems to be particularly poisonous. For a few days, it seems that it has not rained for a long time, but it is extremely hot, and everywhere is like a steamer.Even though ice was placed in the hall to cool off the heat, people still sweated non-stop. Adults have the strength to talk about it, but children are worrying.

Chu Xue was worried that Xuan'er and An An would get prickly heat, so she simply changed into cooler clothes.An An is a girl, and she always needs to pay attention to observations. Chu Xue asked Shang Yijian to make some thinner skirts, which are beautiful and cool.Xuan'er is a boy, so it's a lot more convenient. The mother simply put him in a small red douche, exposing his arms, legs and back, which is really much more comfortable.

Song Chen came back early that day, and when he entered the door, he saw the little children joyously on the couch.When An An saw his father's face, he first gave a sweet smile. The father looked at her heart-warmingly, and hugged the little girl, kissed and kissed again and again. An An was born quiet and well-behaved, lovable, and the father could hug her any way. , don't cry or make trouble, it's much better than the lively Le'er when she was a child.Father squeezed her small hands like boiled egg whites, didn't even dare to speak loudly, only softly called her name.

Seeing that her sister had been hugged for a long time before it was her turn, Xuan'er, who was still lying on the couch, was not happy, so she wowed vigorously, trying to arouse the attention of her father. Xue smiled, took the initiative to take An An in Song Chen's arms, and persuaded: "Your Majesty, hurry up and hug Xuan'er, the little guy is in a hurry."

Only then did Song Chen pick up the beautiful chubby baby. Xuan'er was born bigger than An'an and had a good appetite. It's more than four months old and round like a small wax gourd.Especially now that she is wearing a small doudu, the small arms and legs like lotus root joints are white and tender, really attractive.

Song Chen actually likes this son very much, but he thinks that An An is a girl and needs him to be more affectionate. Now that he is holding the heavy Xuan'er, he can't put it down very much.

Xuan'er was more active, as soon as he got into his father's arms, he said hello first, and his father touched his bare back, and said with a smile: "It's better for Xuan'er, it's so comfortable, you are the only one in the whole palace who is cool." no?"

Seeing his father talking to him with a smile, the little guy was very happy, kicking his little arms and legs harder, Song Chen took the opportunity to grab the little guy's hand and kissed him hard.

Seeing the closeness between the father and son, Chu Xue was heartbroken, and said with a smile, "It's a good thing that Le'er went to the Queen Mother's place, otherwise, how could I compete with my brothers and sisters to rob my father!"

Song Chen also looked at her with a smile, and said: "It's okay for me, but you have worked hard, and you have to take care of three children all day long. I planned to take you to the palace to escape the summer heat, but thinking about these two young ones, I decided to give up. "

The royal palace of Daqi was built in Luming Mountain in the suburbs of Beijing. Because the mountain is cool and cool, it has always been a good place to escape the summer heat. Symptoms.

Chu Xue smiled slightly, and apologized to him, "I understand, and I feel really guilty. If it weren't for these two children, everyone would be able to live more comfortably this summer, which is better than being bored in the palace and suffering from the scorching heat."

Song Chen comforted her in turn, "Forget it, since we are a family, we will understand your difficulties. But it is the end of summer, and it will be cooler in a few days. You guys should pay attention to your body these few days, Don't get heatstroke."

"Yeah." Chu Xue nodded, and stretched out her hand to tease An An in her arms. The little girl stretched out her hand to hold her mother's slender fingers, and smiled sweetly, while she leaned down and gave her a sweet kiss.

Seeing the warm interaction between the mother and daughter, and thinking of how well-behaved and considerate she is, Song Chen secretly sighed for a while, and after thinking about it, he said to her: "There are still [-] days until the Qixi Festival. It's really hard to worry about everything in the palace. It's been a long time since we went out for a walk, and when the weather gets cooler, I'll take you out for a while?"

Her eyes lit up, she looked up at him suddenly, and said with a smile, "Okay."
