Chapter 25 Resignation
Xue Zhen learned that Shen Xuanji had made his own decision to choose a concubine for him, and he was really generous. It happened to be the end of the year, and the state affairs were busy. He simply rested in the imperial study or "Yuantai Hall" at night, and had not set foot in the "Fengzhao Hall" for three consecutive days, which was unprecedented.
The palace servants knew that the emperor had been in a bad mood recently, and they were as silent as cicadas, and the hall was silent. Except for Xue Zhen's little noise when he gave the order, he was as quiet as an ice cellar at other times.
Lan Qing was in the "Fengzhao Hall" and looked at Shen Xuanji look like nothing. Xue Zhen didn't come, but she still ate and slept, smiled happily, and cooked food and clothes for her daughter. She was so anxious that she was about to get angry.
"Madam, you should also find a way!" Lan Qing turned around several times outside and returned to the hall to see Shen Xuanji holding Yiran's grimace to make his daughter laugh again, and finally couldn't help making a sound.
"What can I do?" Shen Xuanji asked casually, turning around and holding the bells on the small table.
Lan Qing now thinks that the sound of "jingle bell" is really harsh! She looked bitterly, "Mother, the emperor hasn't come for three days. If it goes on like this, I'm afraid..."
Shen Xuanji replied on the ground, "The legs are on the emperor's body. I don't care whether he loves it or not!"
Lan Qing was about to cry, "Your Majesty, the emperor is already angry. Why can't you coax him?"
Do you want to coax him? In fact, Shen Xuanji didn't think so, but now Xue Zhen is afraid that he is still angry, and the effect may not be good. It's not that she can't pull down, she just doesn't want to do something that doesn't make much sense.
What's more, she didn't think she was wrong at the "group banquet" that day. Xue Zhen doesn't want to accept the concubine now. One day, he will accept it. Being an emperor does not mean that he can do whatever he wants. On the contrary, he is more bound than when he is a prince. There are so many pairs of eyes staring at him. If he takes a wrong step, there will be endless future troubles.
What's more, she and Xue Zhen now have only one happy together. If those courtiers force Xue Zhenna for the reason of the emperor's unsuccessful heirs, will he want to destroy all nine clans of them?
Even if Xue Zhen is really so cruel and stupid, Shen Xuanji doesn't want to be cursed.
As early as the first day she stepped into the Fengzhao Hall, she knew that there must be such a day in the future, but sooner or later.
Xue Zhen is in the imperial study, and naturally he doesn't know what Shen Xuanji is thinking. But his heart has also been in a mess these days. He has also thought about how to deal with such a situation before, but he didn't expect it to be so caught off guard. He corrected the memorial for a long time that day and felt tired, so he wanted to go out for a walk. He was loose and loose. Who knew that he came to the royal garden.
The pink baby in the garden scratched one by one, eager to show all their talents and crush others. He was also very familiar with this scene when he was the ninth prince, and the Empress Dowager also held several such beauty parties, which forced him to see. He never liked these. The fragrance of those powders was buried with deep intentions, which made him unable to breathe. However, he did not expect that one day, his beloved wife would sit in the empress dowager's seat, with the usual look and sharp eyes on her face, choosing young girls for him who might win his favor in the future.
His face was very bad. He quietly looked at the dignified smile on Shen Xuanji's face and knew that she was actually not happy. Her smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes, but just hovered at the corners of her mouth, and she felt a little sad no matter how she looked at it.
Shuangchi accompanied him, and naturally saw all this. In her heart, she secretly lamented that the queen was so smart all her life. Why did she be so confused today? Looking at Xue Zhen again, his face is as black as the bottom of the pot. If he doesn't leave, I'm afraid he will go in and lift the table, which will be a big deal. He cried bitterly, but with a smile on his face, "Your Majesty, there is nothing to see here. It's cold. Why don't I go back early with the emperor to avoid a cold!"
Xue Zhen sneered, "Why is it not good-looking? The flowers and willows here are so lively. Queen, it's really troublesome!"
Shuangchi didn't know what to say but stood quietly and prayed for Shen Xuanji in his heart, hoping that the emperor's anger would not burn too much, and the queen's temper was not so good!
Xue Zhen has something in his heart, so he naturally looks at the fold and gets angry. He turned the folds on the case into a mess, threw it on the ground after a few glances, and scolded endlessly, "Stupid!" Such a stupid man can still be an official!" Humph, you should really look at his brain, whether it's a pig or not!" ......
"Tut, Your Majesty, your cultivation is really amazing!" He was angry when he suddenly heard a flat voice ringing at the door. He didn't need to look up, and he knew that it was Huo Qiyu, the leader of "Jinwuwei". Seeing his bad luck, he came to step on 10,000 evil feet again.
"Hold on, I'm not in the mood to hang out with you!" Xue Zhen picked up a fold and fell to the hateful smiling face.
Huo Qiyue avoided it lightly. When he saw no outsiders, he was also very casual and did not salute Xue Zhen. Xue Zhen is also a common appearance, and he is not unhappy.
Huo Qiyue usually behaves in front of people. People in Qiongjiang know that Xue Zhen and he are friends who pee and mud together. Seeing that he is not self-contained, they have some respect for him.
It can be seen that if you don't know a person deeply, you can be deceived by such a big lie...
Huo Qiyue naturally knew why Xue Zhen was angry, so he came up and patted him on the shoulder understandingly. "Well, the queen is also full of blood and kindness. Why do you refute her face? It's the ultimate dream of many men to embrace fragrance and jade. I've never seen such an ignorant person like you.
Shuangchi listened to a cold sweat and dared to say bluntly that today's emperor "doesn't know good or bad". Except for this Commander Huo, there should be no one else!
Xue Zhen didn't think so, but just glanced at him obliquely, "Shuxiang and hugging the jade? Do you want it? If you want, I'll give it to you!"
As soon as this sentence came out, it was like holding Huo Qiyue's seven inches, and he waved his hand and retreated repeatedly. "You don't have to be polite. I really don't need it."
Xue Zhen looked at him proudly, and his eyes clearly showed, "Look, I knew you only have a mouth!" The meaning of contempt.
"What's the matter with you? If not, go back quickly. Is Qiongjiang peaceful now? Xue Zhen saw that Huo Qiyue was stingy and was in a better mood. He continued to lower his head to criticize the folds, and heard Huo Qiyue's cynical voice sounded again.
"Your Majesty Shengming, Qiongjiang is naturally peaceful, so I came to say goodbye to Your Majesty this time."
"What?" Not only Xue Zhen was stunned, but also Shuangchi stood stupidly, staring at Huo Qiyu to see if there was any illness in his head.
"Where are you going?" Xue Zhen asked almost mechanically.
Huo Qiyu was more moved when he saw his old friend expressing reluctance to him. He smiled awkwardly, "You know, just, I want to find that, um..."
Xue Zhen gritted his teeth and said, "Talk, people, words."
Huo Qiyu looked at the Shuangchi standing aside with some embarrassment, but still summoned up the courage and said, "Your wife and sister don't know how a girl's house has been with the old man for so long."
Xue Zhen reacted for a while before he realized that Huo Qiyue was going to leave Qiongjiang to find Shen Yuluo!
He nodded, "This is a business. You have not coveted my wife and sister for a day or two, but why are you in such a hurry?" He felt a little frightened when he heard it.
Huo Qiyu smiled slightly and looked a little solemn. "You were walking like walking on thin ice before, but now you are finally sitting in this seat. You are relieved to be a brother. It's also hot to look at you and the queen every day. Naturally, you want to look for her. I hope she is still waiting for me in Liyi. When she left, we agreed."
