Chapter 499 How about I become a dim king?
Baili Jinze got up, his armor clashing against each other making a slight ringing sound, “I have already resumed my orders to the Emperor, and with nothing else to do, I will leave.” After saying that, without waiting for Baili Junyi to speak, he directly turned around and left.
Baili Jun Yi directly in the hands of the brush pinched off: humph, this lawlessness, but also coveted my condensation, sooner or later to clean up your!
Speaking of which, regarding Baili Jinze, Baili Junyi’s attitude was very complicated. He had not returned to the royal family for a long time, and he did not have much affection for his so-called brothers, so if Baili Jinze was like Baili Jin Yu, Baili Jin Jing, and the others, who directly competed for power without regard to the decency of the royal family, he would not have any qualms about laying down a harsh hand.
But on the contrary, Baili Jinze was not confused in his approach to major events, although he had counted on Ning Hua many times before, he had paid the price in the end, and not only did he not trip up after all the things that had happened in the recent period, he had instead stepped in to help. Especially this time, the border crisis, if he did not arrive in time to stabilize the situation, when he regained his memory, I’m afraid that something big has happened.
Only, his mind is a bit too nasty, humph, is Ning Hua something he can just casually miss? Alas, it’s better to be a dim king, directly according to his own preferences, whoever he wants to cut down, without having to worry so much like him.
When Baili Junyi returned to the rear chambers, Shen Ninghua had already returned, “Prince De has returned from the border?”
Baili Junyi nodded his head, pondering in his mind whether he should be a dim king for once, directly chopping up Baili Jinze would have no worries, saving him from distracting Ning Hua’s attention.
“What’s wrong?” Seeing Baili Junyi freeze, Shen Ninghua asked strangely.
“Nothing.” Baili Junyi sat down on Shen Ninghua’s side, and said rather depressingly, “He heard that I had taken in two beauties in the palace and came to help you out.”
Shen Ninghua froze, then a little embarrassed, “He … he is also considered to have a heart.”
Baili Junyi hummed, “Ning Hua, what do you think of me being a dim king?”
“Fainting?”
“Well, like dragging out and chopping up anyone who looks bad directly.”
“Not really, and those speechwriters are enough to bore you to death.”
“… Okay.” Baili Junyi was just thinking about it.
Baili Jinze’s return to Kyoto didn’t trigger much of an impact, and now the eyes of all the officials throughout Kyoto were focused on the Emperor’s harem.
Since Tusu Qingli and Bu Linglong lived in the palace for three days, the Empress moved out from the back chambers of the Chengqian Palace and lived in the Kun Yu Palace where successive Empresses had lived. The eldest prince, the second prince, and the eldest princess were also moved to live in Kun Yu Palace in the name of being too young to leave their mothers.
This time, the wind direction in the palace completely changed, Tu Su Qing Li felt the most obvious, after all, she had lived in the palace for some time before. Since the Empress moved to Kun Yu Palace, the palace people in her palace were much more polite to her, and there were even a lot of courtesans who came to show their goodwill, expressing their desire to attach themselves to her.
The officials in the court even continue to stir up the wind and rain, after all, the Empress moved out this is a good sign. In the past, there are many times to write to the Empress to live in the Queen’s bedchamber after the Chengqian Palace is not the rules, were the Emperor to the Royal private matters to cope with the past, and now there is no sign, the Empress moved out, which means what?
This meant that either the Emperor’s favor towards the Empress had faded, or the Empress had gambled and moved away, and there was a conflict between her and the Emperor. Regardless of the reason, as long as they pushed hard, they could make a crack appear between the Emperor and the Empress, and then tear a hole in the Emperor’s harem.
Tusu Qingyun repeatedly expressed his willingness to donate his family’s property through Zuo Qing, the Minister of Ceremonies, and many officials also sent letters requesting the Emperor to continue to increase his efforts to help the people. Even to the point that many local officials sent a letter of ten thousand people requesting the Emperor to allocate silver to help them rebuild their homes.
Thirty million taels of silver, led to the people’s hearts and minds of the people everywhere. These years, the year is indeed bad, many places of the people in successive years of disaster, and now see the hope, they are tightly staring at the slightest relaxation.
Baili Jun Yi returned to the rear chambers, subconsciously looking for Shen Ninghua, swept around before reacting to the fact that Ninghua lived in Kun Yu Palace. At that moment, the heart became more and more depressed.
A side of the chamberlain chief Wu Ping carefully served, even gasping for breath do not dare to be loud, he is after heavy training before selected up, to Baili Jun Yi is absolutely heartfelt, so for outside rumors what the Empress lost favor and so on words, he in the heart of the scoffing: these stupid human beings, deserved you to be played by the Emperor ah, this is the husband and wife to give you a set up it, you drill it is painful!
“Wuping, has the Empress had her meal?”
“Report back to the emperor, just now the slave went to ask, the empress mother and the little masters have used the meal, now the weather is a little hot, the imperial kitchen has added a few new cold dishes, the empress mother and the little masters like it, and used more than half a bowl of rice it.”
Baili Junyi nodded, his lips couldn’t help but add a point of smile, “Well, that’s good, are there any dishonest ones in the palace?” Ye Yi was no longer, so Wu Ping temporarily took his place, reporting all sorts of news to him.
“The palace recently many palace people began to activity, some people mistakenly believe that you, Your Majesty, angry with the mother, began to plan a new way out, but no one dares to do too obvious …”
“Humph, these people … all give me a good record, then I have to liquidate properly.”
“Yes.” These people can be remembered by the red diamond once reported to the Empress Mother, now the emperor let him remember once again, think these people have a worrying fate ah, but who let them not see the reality it, the, deserved!
At noon, coaxing the three children to fall asleep, Shen Ninghua could not help but rub her shoulders. Changed the new palace, the oldest and Xiaobao play crazy, running around in the palace for a long time, and finally let her catch back, the two are almost become a small flower cat, washed half a day before turning back to white fat doll, this will finally fall asleep, but she is tired enough.
Hongling hurriedly went forward to hold her, “Your Highness, you quickly sit down, slave girl to pinch your shoulders to loosen up a bit, slave girl specially learned the means of massage from Rouqin, you come to see how slave girl’s handicraft is.”
“Hehe, when did you go to consult Zuoqin?” Zoqin was sent by her to the female medical officer’s side to continue her studies, and didn’t let her serve close to her, after all, she was looking at Zoqin as a disciple in general, much different from a palace maid.
“The slave girl took advantage of the midday break to go, so come and try it.”
Shen Ninghua half leaned on the noble consort couch, letting Hongling play at will. Not to mention, she learned extremely seriously, and after pressing for a while, her aching and numb shoulders became much better.
Seeing Shen Ninghua’s expression ease, Hongling couldn’t help but say, “Your Highness, you still need to pay more attention on weekdays, in a couple of days, Lord Chen should come into the palace to help you check your pulse, and if he finds out that your body isn’t getting better, he’ll be reprimanding a few of the slave maids again.”
Shen Ninghua nodded, “Good, I’ll definitely take care of myself these days and do nothing, okay?”
She herself is also clear in her heart, the deficit of the last production has not been adjusted over, after the month is not easy, plus know Baili Jun Yi missing mood ups and downs are too much, resulting in her now look healthy, in fact, very weak, in the outside more stand for a while, feel dizziness. Just, this is a slow disease, anxious also can not make up, can only a little slowly recuperate.
“Hongling, are Tusu Qingli and Bu Linglong still quiet?”
“There are quite a few people on Ms. Tu Su’s side showing their affection, but she doesn’t seem to trust them and doesn’t pay much attention to any of them. Princess Linglong’s side is very quiet, the slave girl has people keep an eye on her, she doesn’t make any other movements on weekdays except for loitering in places with a good view of the palace, or painting inside the Jade Gargoyle Hall.”
Shen Ninghua couldn’t help but laugh lightly, “These two are calm at this moment, you go and pass the word in a while, say that this palace invites them to come and sit in Kun Yu Palace, and by the way, have someone tell the emperor to please come in the afternoon.”
“Yes, ma’am.”
Tusu Qingli and Bu Linglong received this news and were both a bit surprised, they thought that the Empress would leave them hanging for a while longer, but they didn’t expect that they would be declared over on the second day after they moved to Kun Yu Palace.
After the two received the news, no matter what they thought in their hearts, they dressed up with extra care. Expected the time is almost, only out of their respective palaces. Just did not expect, the two expected time is about the same, the distance of the palace and close, just out will directly meet.
Tusu Qingli bent his knees, “Greetings to Princess Linglong.”
Bu Linglong nodded, “Miss Tu Su is excused, I think the Empress has invited you as well, so why don’t you come along.”
“Yes.” Tusu Qingli got up, lagging a step behind to follow behind, her heart was quite a bit unfavorable, her commoner status made her feel inferior at all times, even the palace maids serving beside her were not of the same level.
Step Linglong walked in front of her in a delicate and soft manner, and the palace maids on the side carefully took care of her, fearing that she might not take a step and fall on the ground, as if she was a fragile porcelain doll. In fact, although she was delicate on the surface, she was actually very healthy, at the very least she was healthier than Shen Ninghua’s body now.
Just, also do not know these court ladies by what command, even weekdays will be her as a glaze general treatment, if she wants to blow a breeze, immediately have the court ladies to come for fear that she will catch a cold. Now are in May, the day is hot, and how will catch a cold?
She leaned against the railing to think of some things, there are palace maids came to tell her worrying too much will hurt the body, she ate two more mouthfuls of rice are someone to limit … these days, she felt that she is simply to be raised waste, but can not accuse the palace maids do not do their best, after all, at night there are four palace maids to take care of her, look at their eyes of worry at all times, she guessed that These few people were afraid that she would not be able to get a bite up at night if she was not feeling well!
Luckily, there were no palace maid restrictions on her going out and about, or she would have gone crazy long ago.
Arriving at Kun Yu Palace, a palace maid immediately greeted them, “Meet Princess Linglong, meet Miss Tu Su, the Empress Mother has been waiting for a long time, quickly please come in.”
The two were somewhat flattered by the courtesan’s intimate attitude, and hurriedly followed into the room, only to walk into the main hall, but suddenly felt that the environment was inexplicably depressing.
Shen Ninghua sat on top of the phoenix chair, her face was slightly white, her spirit looked a little bad, and the way she looked at them was even more chilling.
“Greetings, Empress.”
Shen Ninghua took a sip of tea before calling up, “Get up.”
The two faces respectfully, but in their hearts, they each thought away, it seems that the rumors in the palace that the Empress was cold-shouldered by the Emperor in the past few days, is true.
Just as he was thinking, an announcement came from outside, “His Majesty has arrived!”
