Concubine, she is so charming

Chapter 173 Southern Tour
"Your Majesty, taste it first to see if it suits your appetite. The concubine specially asked the dining room to prepare it like this."

Ye Yun rolled up his sleeves, and first picked a piece of white radish from the old duck soup for him.

Ning Chen didn't move his chopsticks, but reached out and stroked her hair, "Why don't you wash your hair at night, you won't be afraid of the wind and cold."

"Just remembered it suddenly, why did the emperor come to my concubine so late?" Ye Yun said casually.

Ning Chen paused, and said, "Suddenly remembered."

Ye Yun was stunned for a moment when he said this, and the two looked at each other, and for some reason, they both suddenly laughed.

After laughing, Ye Yun raised her hand and touched the dark blue under the man's eyes with her fingertips.

"The emperor is too tired these days, let's have dinner and rest soon."

"Well, serve me a bowl of soup." Ning Chen nodded.

He doesn't like to drink soup, but it's cold all the way here at night, so he can drink a bowl to warm his body.

Ye Yun served a bowl obediently, and then sat quietly next to him, did she pick up some meat with chopsticks, but coaxed Ning Chen to eat most of the meal.

Then I pushed the person to the clean room to wash up.

Yuan Jiuhou was outside, looking at the withdrawn dishes, he was also relieved.

After suffering like this, I can't sleep well, so I have to eat well, right?

When Ning Chen came out after washing, he saw only a small head exposed under the brocade quilt on the bed.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Ye Yun stretched out his arm from under the quilt, a white and tender part, like a lotus root.

"Your Majesty, come and have a rest, all the concubines are sleepy."

"Sleep first if you're sleepy, and wait for me to do something." The corners of Ning Chen's lips raised unconsciously.

Go over and lift the quilt and lie down.

It's just that as soon as he lay down, the woman beside him rolled around inside, and pulled him to lie down again.

Just when I didn't understand why, I heard the little woman muttering, "The courtiers and concubines have covered the quilt with heat, the emperor should go to sleep soon."

Ning Chen narrowed his phoenix eyes slightly, stretched out his hand to touch it, and found that the mattress under him was indeed warm, and suddenly felt a softness in his heart.

Stretching out his long arms, he took the man into his arms.

The girl's freshly washed hair carried a faint fragrance, lingering at the tip of her nose, which was intoxicating.

He wasn't sleepy at all, he didn't wake up until night after sleeping at noon, and wanted to talk to Ye Yun.

"Snow disaster in Lanzhou, I asked your cousin to go too. He has been exercising well these days. I intend to let him go out for a few years, and then go back to Beijing after he has achieved political achievements."

It is rare to have a newcomer with a clean foundation and real skills. Ning Chen is still very satisfied with Chu Yunhuai.

Right now, he is planning to train him into his own team.

"The emperor is here and the concubine wants to talk about political affairs, but the concubine doesn't understand." Ye Yun squinted her eyes and snorted.

Ning Chen felt itchy in his heart, so he pinched her waist, "It's fine if others say they don't understand, and you still pretend to be like me."

When the topic came up, Ning Chen remembered that the woman's previous two proposals were good, and suddenly asked, "What do you think about the snow disaster and the rumors, just say it, I won't blame you."

"The emperor really wants to listen?" The girl half-opened her eyes, and hooked her fingers around the front of the man's chest.

Ning Chen nodded uncompromisingly, motioning for her to continue.

Ye Yun glanced at him, then said lazily, "The governor of Lanzhou hides the truth and does not report it, and the people are not allowed to go out of the city to find a way to survive. It is not a pity to die thousands of times. Complaints, if you want to stop the rumors, you must cure the root cause, it is impossible to stop the people's mouths, but the emperor can make the people admire the emperor from the bottom of their hearts, and this will also consolidate the emperor's foundation."

"Then what is the root cause?" Ning Chen asked.

"The emperor can go north to appease and beat Zasak, why not go south."

The girl spoke lightly, very carelessly.

Ning Chen frowned, "Let me think about it, sleep first."

After speaking, the hand holding the person tightened a little more.

Ye Yun was already very sleepy, and fell asleep within a while.

Hearing the shallow breathing of the woman in his arms, Ning Chen was still in deep thought.

There is no precedent for Nanqi to make a southern tour. It should be said that the south is close to the sea, and it is also a plain. It has always been peaceful and easy to govern, unlike the north, which borders the ambitious Liao Kingdom.

All through the ages, after Emperor Nanqi ascended the throne, he only toured the north, never toured the south.

One is that the emperor's travel costs a lot, and the other is that the south has always been safe and not worth visiting. Usually, it is enough to send trusted ministers to go there.

But right now the hearts of the people are fluctuating, and it is indeed a good choice for him to go to the southern tour in person.

It's just that this matter has to be discussed with the ministers, and most of the old ministers will not agree to it. If it is really decided, it will take some thought.

In the end, Ning Chen didn't know how he fell asleep, but in his dream, he dreamed that he was going on a southern tour.

The next morning, he got up early and went back to Jiuchen Palace, where he summoned several ministers.

They were not released until noon.

I don't know what they talked about inside, but news came out that the emperor wanted to tour the south.

Yuxiu Pavilion.

Ye Yun asked the girls to get a small stove for decocting medicine, and was pulling a few people to roast sweet potatoes together.

I suddenly thought of this taste.

"Your majesty should bring his concubines along on his tour to the south. I don't know how many will be able to go this time." Nan Zhi gossiped.

"I guess I won't take anyone with me this time. I'm going out because of the snow disaster. What does it look like to bring a concubine?" Ye Yun shook his head.

Huiyue took over, "I don't know how long it will take for the emperor to go. Yi Xiurong is seven months pregnant, and she is about to give birth. If the emperor is not here, she may be uneasy, and the queen's pregnancy has just turned three years old." It's been a month, and seeing that she's not doing well, the slaves always feel that something will happen if the emperor is not in the palace."

If there is still the Queen Mother in charge, it is a pity that the Queen Mother has done too many foolish things, it is really impossible to convince people, so she is automatically ignored.

Ye Yun calmly peeled a sweet potato with chopsticks, not caring much.

"The emperor is gone, we just need to keep our palace safe, and don't let others get into the loopholes, so it doesn't matter."

It has nothing to do with her who is born or not.

Nan Zhi and Huiyue nodded, thinking that there were only three things to do, if there was another mistake in Yuxiu Pavilion, the two of them in charge would be ashamed.

In the end, the matter of the southern tour was settled.

For the auspicious omen of the dragon raising its head on the second day of the second month of the second month, the departure date was set on the second day of the second month's month, without concubines as expected.

Accompanying Ning Chen were Prince Ping Ning Hao, Prince Concubine He Xinyan, Prince Chen Xianwen's son-in-law Chen Xianyi, and other ministers.

The courtiers headed by the Queen Mother's mother's British Duke, the Queen's mother's Li Guogong, and Kang Wang Ningrui stayed in Kyoto.

In the next few days, Ning Chen concentrated on one day and ordered people to take the princes and princesses to Jiuchen Palace for a look, and then went to see the Queen, Concubine Wen De and Yi Xiurong alone.

The day before his departure, he had lunch at Ye Yun's place, and then returned to Jiuchen Palace.

The land in the south is huge, so if we leave this trip, we will not be able to return until May.

At that time, Yi Xiurong will definitely give birth.

Ning Chen also specially left a will, no matter whether Yi Xiurong gave birth to a prince or a princess, as long as the mother and child are safe, they will be promoted to Xiuyuan.

After only two years in the palace, she took this position, and for a while, Yi Xiurong was in the limelight.
