Chapter 118 The Draft (2)
"Yes, the concubine understands. The emperor sweats so much, let's drink some water first." After finishing speaking, he put the water down, helped Xiao Ma sit up, and stuffed an extra pillow behind him for him to lean on.

After Xiao Hao opened her mouth to drink the water brought by Xie Mo, she asked softly, "How about?"

"Continued Cup."

Xie Mo went over and poured another cup for him to drink.

"The concubine has already been told by concubine Xian that she will take care of the affairs of the harem for the past few days, and she only needs to come and explain to the concubine every day. If there is anything that cannot be decided, come and ask for instructions." I didn't expect her to manage the harem. It's not going well, I was injured on the first day and it's not convenient to see people.Since it is necessary to manage, it is natural to take back the power gradually.Otherwise, how could they suppress Yun Shang, who has become a climate, and Ding Rou, who has a son.To plan a safe future for the Xie family, at least it must be shown that she has enough value to be used.

Xiao Hao stared at Xie Mo, and the gauze around her head.

If it was in the past, not to mention slapping her, but irritating her with words, he would not speak to him for at least three to five days because he was a prince who would not dare to do anything.She is very delicate and can never bear a little pain.Now, it is as if what happened yesterday never happened, patiently and meticulously looking after her.

In the past six months, although she had been submissive, there was always some grievance in her eyes, unlike the calm and breezy one now.It's like he doesn't care how he treats her anymore.

"Is the emperor hungry? Do you want something to eat? There is porridge simmering in the small kitchen."

"no appetite."

"It's better to use a little bit. You can restore your strength after using it. Besides, you can't drink the medicine on an empty stomach. When I'm sick and have no appetite, my family will make hot and sour soup for my appetizer. It's better for me to ask Linglong to make it." Come." Xie Mo persuaded.Seeing that Xiao Hao had no objection, she asked Linglong to do it.

Before Xiao Hao wanted to thank Mo, he told him that the Xie family was willing to cling to orthodoxy.This matter is of great benefit to him.He welcomed Xie Mo as the queen, wasn't it for the power of the Xie family behind her.That's right, as a courtier, he should share the worries of the king.However, in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, there were not a few people who did not work hard.Where there are any real pure ministers, they all have their own purpose, either for fame or for profit.What he wants, of course, is for the Xie family to obey wholeheartedly, adding a touch of brilliance to his martial arts and martial arts.

If the Xie family doesn't support Duke Huai, then either Duke Huai or Liang Guogong will lose a powerful support at that time.At least if they want to fight the banner of "Zhu Wudao", they will lose a mouthpiece that can persuade scholars all over the world.

He is the emperor, that's right, he is also the prince who was changed by the emperor himself.But those guys always think that Duke Huai was deposed innocently, and he is a concubine prince who came to power only because of his biological mother's favor, so there is something wrong with his reputation.And the Xie family has almost produced great Confucianism from generation to generation, and their influence in Shilin cannot be underestimated.Even if he wanted to start a course to obtain a scholar, he couldn't avoid the peach and plum fragrance that Xie's children gave lectures and traveled all over the world.With the Xie family speaking for him, he can also occupy the moral high ground.

Master Chen tried his best to persuade him that if Xie's family is really willing to contribute wholeheartedly to the new government and new policies, he should be lenient as the emperor.Now, Xie Mo seems to want to use this to ask him for a guarantee that the Xie family will not be overthrown.

Regarding this, Xiao Mo was noncommittal.For an influential family like the Xie family, of course he has to rely on it, but he can't let their influence remain so great.

"Young lady, the hot and sour soup is ready." Linglong brought the food in.

Xie Mo took it and put it on the bedside, then picked up the sweet white porcelain bowl in one hand, and a porcelain spoon in the other, tasted the poison first, then changed the spoon to feed Xiao Mo.

"Your Majesty, try it. It's very appetizing to eat. There are so many military and state affairs waiting for the Emperor to deal with. You definitely don't want to waste time on the bed."

Xiao Hao opened his mouth, "Your tone is not like a harem woman, but like Chen Xiang."

Xie Mo muttered, "How could I be like him, if I want to be like my father." He handed the spoon to his mouth courteously, "Your Majesty, please try it for your face."

After taking a few sips, Xiao Hao really felt that his taste buds were very stimulated, and the taste gradually developed in his mouth, and he also wanted to eat.Seeing this, Xie Mo put down the spoon and passed the porridge.

"This is medicinal food, but it has been processed so that it won't have the slightest smell of medicine. If the emperor thinks the taste is not right, it is because your taste is naturally different from normal when you are sick."

Xiao Hao also cooperated, and he opened his mouth to swallow when she fed it to his mouth.Xie Mo thought to himself, probably because he was a little bit guilty for smashing himself.In fact, her wound was fine, it was just a cut, but it was indeed a bit scary to see the blood streaming down her face.

She figured it out, from now on, just treat him as a king and creditor.If you don't pray for love on him, you won't be so sad.

"You go to rest. I still have things to deal with." After feeding the porridge, Xiao Ma asked Xie Mo to go out.She knelt down and saluted, "Yes, the concubine is in the next room. If the emperor has something to do, let someone come to pass on the concubine."

Xie Mo returned to the Xixuan room, since she had something to ask for, it was essential to please the king.However, Xiao Hao does not seem to be an easy person to please.And no matter what she did, she would be ridiculed and reprimanded by him.Therefore, what she can do is not the way of women in the harem competing for favor.Instead, let the Xie family truly be used by the king.Manage the harem for him by himself, and prevent the previous chaos from recurring.

Well, there is actually another way.Xiao Hao said that she made him unhappy every time, didn't that mean that when she made him happy, he just... Xie Mo pulled his hand and gave himself a mouthful, what was she thinking.She is the majestic mother of a country, the daughter of the prime minister, how can she compare herself with the daughter of the Israelites.Isn't this self-deprecating?He hastily suppressed this thought that came out of nowhere.

If this is the case, even if you win the king's favor for a while, you will eventually fall in love with fading.Do you want her to follow the example of Mrs. Li, who is so overwhelmed by the country and the city, and cover her face before she dies, so as not to let the emperor see that she is no longer as delicate as a flower.However, after Mrs. Li, there was Zhao Gouyi who took her place and the Li family was finally destroyed.Obviously this way is dead!
Thinking about it again, there are three people in the harem who are favored by him: Concubine Gui, Concubine De and Concubine Xian. Since Guifei is the empress dowager's niece, Xiao Hao naturally treats her differently from others.The rumors that there have always been noble concubines who want to replace the queen are not groundless.And this is her Achilles' heel, the death of the Empress Dowager is related to her; Concubine De, because she gave birth to the eldest son of the emperor, she has a detached position in the harem.This doesn't work either, because she has no chance of conceiving an heir at all.Moreover, does she have the life to watch the child grow up?If she can't be by her side to protect her and leave her youngest son or daughter in the deep palace to be raised by the new queen when she dies, then Xie Mo will die with regret.Not to mention the prince, even the eldest princess Xiao Rong is beside Concubine De, so she has to bother to please her at such a young age.Xiao Rong's act of inviting pets for Concubine De was of course guided by adults.She was praised for this and of course will continue next time.Xie Mo didn't want his daughter to become a tool for others to invite favor.
