Traveling through the harem: the favorite concubine

Chapter 130

During dinner, Zhao Qingze finally appeared in the bedroom.

Ruyi had already collected the sewing work she had done earlier, and was sitting at the table waiting for Zhao Qingze to come back.

Because the filial piety period has not yet passed, the food on the table is still vegetarian, but it is much richer than usual, and it looks much more delicate.

"Today's meal looks different from the past."

Zhao Qingze picked up the chopsticks with a smile, picked up a piece of tofu and put it in Ruyi's bowl.

"Use more if you like it. I've been vegetarian recently, and my body can't stand it anymore."

There was nothing unusual on Ruyi's face, she still smiled and said.Zhao Qingze nodded, and used an extra bowl of rice as he said.

After dinner, Zhao Qingze didn't go back to the front right away, but sat by the couch and talked with Ruyi.

"God Bless's hundred days are just these few days, and Aman's first birthday will be next month. I will let Concubine Xian take care of it. You don't have to worry."

Ruyi smiled and nodded. At this time, the nanny carried Aman and Tianyou to the bedroom. Ruyi stretched out her arms and hugged Tianyou and put them on the couch. Then, she put Aman on the couch, and Tianyou fell asleep. It was very quiet, but Aman was full of energy. Just as he was put on the couch, he supported the table with his little hands and stood up.

"Aman can stand by himself now."

Ruyi smiled and talked to Zhao Qingze.

A few days ago, Zhao Qingze saw that Aman still had to be supported by others to stand and walk. Unexpectedly, in just a few days, he was able to stand up on the table by himself, and he was a little surprised.

"Aman grows up really fast. I haven't seen him for a few days, but he gave me such a big surprise."

Zhao Qingze was about to stretch out his hand to tease Aman to take a few steps, but Aman was tired from standing, so he squatted down and sat back on the couch.

Ruyi smiled, reached out and hugged Aman to Zhao Qingze, and said softly: "Yes, Aman is growing very fast every day now. Wait until the next time, he will be able to leave by himself!"

After Ruyi said this, her face was slightly melancholy, but she didn't show much, and said with a smile: "Tianyou will grow up quickly."

Tianyou didn't know if it was because of the premature baby. Although he didn't get sick again, he grew very slowly. Compared with Aman at that time, it was really different.

Fortunately, the imperial doctor said that there was no problem every time he checked.

Zhao Qingze played with Ruyi and Aman for a while, in the end you squeezed Tianyou's little hand, but returned to the front hall to get busy, Ruyi hugged Aman and sent Zhao Qingze away with a smile.

It's just that after Zhao Qingze left, the smile on her face fell, and she sat on the couch in a daze, until Aman, who was sitting in her arms, called her dissatisfied, and Ruyi came back to her senses.

In the days that followed, Ruyi was always like this day. When facing Zhao Qingze, she always had a smile on her face, nothing unusual, but when Zhao Qingze left, she couldn't help but be alone in a daze, or preparing to thing.

Zhao Qingze was busy with important affairs in the court. Although he went back to the bedroom every day, he also came back to have a meal, or came back to rest very late, and he didn't notice anything unusual about Ruyi.

As the preparations for the war became more and more complete, Zhao Qingze started to prepare and arrange things in the palace.

It can be said that his imperial conquest this time was planned early in the morning, and it is precisely because of this that when he ascended the throne, after taking thunderous measures, he began to appease the subordinates again, but the only variable is how many people Luckily, he controlled Ruyi and the two children in the palace. After the death of the Supreme Emperor, Zhao Qingli was imprisoned in the imperial mausoleum, and the empress dowager's lingering sickness also helped him indirectly.

Of course, the most important thing is to greet Ruyi early and explain the matter to her, so that he can leave with confidence.

So it was early morning, and Zhao Qingze returned to the apse early.

When he just walked into the garden, he saw the imperial doctor coming out of the bedroom from a distance, he was startled, turned his head to look at Deng Xian, and asked aloud: "The imperial concubine is ill, why didn't you tell me? "

Deng Xian also had a strange face, he didn't see anyone around the imperial concubine report this matter to him at all in the morning.

"The slave has not received the message."

Deng Xian lowered his head to report, but he was shocked by his negligence in his heart.

Seeing this, Zhao Qingze didn't say anything, but just raised his feet and walked towards the bedroom.When the palace guards guarding the door saw Zhao Qingze, they were about to report, but Zhao Qingze raised his hand to stop them, and walked into the palace by himself.

After Ruyi sent the imperial physician away, she began to put the porcelain bottles filled with pills from the imperial physician into the small box prepared earlier in the morning.

After everything was put away, Ruyi handed them to Shaoyao, and told Shaoyao to put them into the pile of things she had prepared earlier.

"Your Majesty, in fact, even if the emperor wants to conscript himself, he will bring the imperial physician with him."

Fangcao and Shaoyao didn't know Ruyi's plan at first, but Ruyi has been preparing day by day for the past few days, and the two of them also saw the problem.

Especially Shaoyao, who has been with Ruyi for the longest time. Seeing Ruyi forcing a smile in front of Zhao Qingze, but in private like this, her heart aches and she can't help persuading her in a low voice.

Ruyi was taken aback when she heard Shaoyao's words. After a while, she smiled lightly and said softly: "I know the emperor doesn't lack these things for me, but I'm panicked. At least I have prepared these things, and I can still make my life easier." Calm down."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the emperor's personal conquest is just to command, not to go to the battlefield in person."

Fangcao also persuaded Ruyi softly.

Ruyi doesn't know this truth. In fact, she is really inferior to Mrs. Cao's family. Like Cao Rui, she will definitely go to the battlefield to fight, almost with her head in her head. Mrs. Cao's family can keep calm response.Zhao Qingze only went to the northwest to sit in the command of the war, the danger was much less, and Ruyi felt a little restless.

"I know, but I can't help but want to worry. When I think of the emperor going to such a dangerous place, I can't let it go."

Ruyi said something softly.

"Since the empress doesn't want the emperor to go, she told the emperor, the emperor will definitely worry about the empress."

Shaoyao persuaded softly, although she has been by Ruyi's side for so long, and Shaoyao has become more stable, but she is not as cautious as Fangcao, especially when facing Ruyi, she can't help but say a lot of things.

Ruyi smiled and didn't speak.

But the expression on her face made Fangcao and Shaoyao understand.She won't say it, she would rather be worried and sad.

Zhao Qingze stood outside for a long time, but in the end he did not enter, but walked out of the bedroom.

It was as quiet as when it came.

Deng Xian, who was guarding the door, saw Zhao Qingze coming out, and rushed to meet him, but he heard Zhao Qingze say softly: "Don't let the imperial concubine know that I've been here."

After saying this, Zhao Qingze walked towards the inner study.

He locked himself in the inner study for a long time, did not meet the ministers, and did not deal with official business, but sat on the desk alone and thought for a long time.

When it was time for lunch, he walked out of the inner study and returned to the bedroom.

Ruyi originally thought that Zhao Qingze would eat in the front hall as usual, so she used it first. When she saw Zhao Qingze walking in, she had a surprised expression on her face, but she put down her chopsticks and said softly: "Qingze , why are you back?"

"Accompany you for lunch."

Zhao Qingze smiled, and sat down at the table. Ruyi hurriedly greeted Shaoyao and brought a pair of bowls and chopsticks. After looking at the dishes on the table, she ordered Shaoyao: "Go to the dining room and ask for some more dishes to be served."

"No need, just eat like this!"

Zhao Qingze stopped him, picked up the chopsticks and began to use them.

If you agree with this, you have to give up.

After the two finished their lunch, they sat on the couch with a cup of tea in their hands. Zhao Qingze and Ruyi began to talk: "The deployment of the Northwest War is almost done, and the reinforcements have already arrived in the Northwest. Cao Rui, as the main general, will leave tomorrow. Now his wife is about to give birth again, at this time, we should pay more attention to the affairs of the Cao family."

"kindness."

Ruyi nodded, and said softly, "The last time Aunt Cao entered the palace, I asked two Wen women who had delivered my baby to follow Aunt Cao to Cao's house."

"It's still your thoughtfulness." Zhao Qingze held Ruyi's hand with a smile, and said softly, "At this time, the Cao family absolutely can't do anything."

"Don't worry, I will pay attention."

"God bless the full moon, because now the war is imminent, and the Supreme Emperor has just passed away, I am afraid it will not be a big deal, but I have wronged the child."

"Aman is a small family, how can there be such a big banquet."

Moreover, Zhao Qingze was not in the palace, so Ruyi didn't want to hold any banquet at all, and went to face outsiders by herself.But also know it's impossible.

When Ruyi said this, she felt a little depressed, but she still smiled and said softly: "Qingze, are you going to the northwest with General Cao tomorrow?"

Zhao Qingze didn't answer, but Ruyi stood up with a smile, and said slowly: "Don't hide it from me, I know that you plan to march in person, and my two children and I will wait for your triumphant return in the palace. However, you must Take what I have prepared for you."

Ruyi took a deep breath, walked to a cabinet in the bedroom and opened it.

Zhao Qingze slowly walked behind Ruyi, looking at the many things in the cabinet, including clothes, shoes and socks, daily necessities, and a lot of medicines...

There is a full cabinet.

"When you leave, I'll put it in a box and bring it to you, okay?"

Ruyi asked softly.

However, Zhao Qingze shook his head.

The smile on Ruyi's face fell, but after a while, she regained her smile, looked at Zhao Qingze and said softly, "Is it too much? Then I'll take some, and you can take a little."

Zhao Qingze still shook his head.

Ruyi bit her lip, but the expression on her face was that she couldn't help being depressed and wanted to cry. He reached out and touched Ruyi's face, and said with a smile, "Did you misunderstand?"

Ruyi raised her head and looked at Zhao Qingze puzzled, but she heard Zhao Qingze smile and say: "Who told you that I'm going to the Northwest? Who said I'm going to go to the northwest?"

"You...don't go..."

Ruyi covered her mouth, surprised.

She couldn't believe it, she absolutely didn't believe that Zhao Qingze's various performances these days were her illusions, even though Zhao Qingze didn't tell her personally that he wanted to go on a personal conquest, but she was able to confirm this matter.

"I have my own generals to help me in this war. I won't go to the northwest." He explained with a chuckle.

But there was some hesitation on Ruyi's face. After a long time, she said softly: "Did I behave too badly and made you worry? You don't have to worry about me. I will take care of myself and my children."

When Ruyi heard that Zhao Qingze said that she would not go to the Northwest, her heart was unavoidable, she was indeed ecstatic, but after the joy, she felt that she was a little selfish, and quickly opened her mouth to explain.

Zhao Qingze smiled, patted Ruyi on the shoulder and said softly: "You, you just love to think wildly, God Bless's hundred days, Aman's one year old, how can I not be by your side and the child!"

Ruyi opened her mouth, wanting to say something else.

But Zhao Qingze said again: "Do you still remember what I told you?"

Ruyi looked at him, a little strange, and didn't speak.

Zhao Qingze smiled lightly and said slowly: "From the first time you gave birth to Aman, but you were worried for me outside the palace, I told myself that I will never let you be scared again in this life, I have done it to you Guaranteed, when you gave birth to Tianyou, I also said that I would protect you for the rest of my life, and I said that you are not joking, so how could I break my promise!"
