Chapter 127: The most important thing is balance

127 The most important thing is balance
Bai Yuchen was sitting in the courtyard of the Youranheyuan, dressed in ordinary clothes, and Xiahou Shangle, wearing a thick coat, sat opposite him.
It was already evening, and the winter days were always so short. From the imperial palace to the Youran lotus courtyard, the sky was slowly darkening before the game of chess was finished.
Xia Hou Shangle held Bai Zi, looking at the peculiar chess pieces in the expectation, as well as the frowning eyebrows on Bai Yuchen's face. He hesitated again and again. It was clear that she could win this round, but seeing Bai Yuchen's face unhappy, Xiahou Shangle bit his lip, still leaving Baizi on the ground where he was dead.
"The emperor, the concubine lost."
Bai Yuchen retracted some of his distracted thoughts and looked at the chess pieces of two people on the chessboard. One could tell that Xiahou Shangle had deliberately let him go, but Bai Yuchen didn't break it either, just put down the chess piece and smiled.
"Xue Wu, put away the chessboard."
"Yes."
Replied softly, Xue Wu put away the chessboard and returned to the hall. After a while, she came out with a pot of lotus heart tea, and after pouring a cup for each of them, she withdrew.
"The emperor seems to have something on his mind, I don't know if I can tell his concubines?"
Xiahou Shangle picked up the tea cup and asked softly, but did not look up at him. He just lowered his head and blew the hot tea in his hands. If it weren’t for something upsetting, Bai Yuchen would not have come to the leisurely lotus by himself. , Let alone frowning all the time, even playing chess is absent-minded.
Recently, the relationship between Xiahou Shangle and Bai Yuchen has become more and more subtle, and even said that there is still an ambiguous atmosphere circulating between the two people. Bai Yuchen does not know why. When he is upset, he just wants to come to the leisurely lotus courtyard to sit quietly. Yes, even if he doesn't say anything or do nothing, as long as he sits here for a while, he will feel very calm.
"Oh? I didn't expect the Queen's eyesight to be very sharp. I just sat here for a while, but the Queen saw something on my mind?"
Bai Yuchen picked up the lotus heart tea in front of him and took a sip. Although there was a faint smile on his face, his brows were always frowning. Recently, things have indeed caused him headaches one after another.
First Liang Shimei framed Yan Ruyu, and then Yan Ruyu clamored to temporarily take charge of the harem. Now according to his night guard’s intelligence, there seems to be an unknown transaction between the Yan family and Yunguo. Bai Yuchen discovered for the first time that being an emperor was Such annoying, and being a good emperor seems even more difficult!
"It’s not that the concubine’s sharp eyesight betrayed you, but the emperor’s vision and expression betrayed you. In the past, the emperor was full of spirits, but today he has been frowning and his expression wandering, even playing chess. Can’t you tell?"
Xiahou Shangle put down her teacup, wrapped her overcoat, and held the stove in her arms tighter. She was very afraid of the cold. She spent the winter in the Yue Dynasty in the first year. She always felt that no matter how thick clothes she wore, she would still have The cold air rushed to the body.
After hearing her words, Bai Yuchen did not deny it, but did not admit it. He just got up and wandered to the backyard of the Youran lotus courtyard. Xiahou Shangle followed him to the backyard, standing by the lotus pond, looking at the remnants of the pond. Withered leaves, Bai Yuchen didn't know why, there was a trace of desolation in his heart.
The heights are very cold, especially when he is in the throne, he seems to be full of glory, but in fact, there is not even a person around him who can speak his heart. Sometimes, when he returns to the midnight dream, Bai Yuchen always asks himself a question, that is Why did you work so hard to ascend the throne of God in the first place? Is it because you can't overcome the cold from a high place like today? In order to carry everything on your shoulders, you can't even complain!
Just because he is the emperor, the ruler of a country, he is the king, the king is destined to live a lonely life, and is destined to bear more pain and burdens than ordinary people. In the Yue Dynasty, Bai Yuchen was such a role. He could not You can't say bitterness when you say it!
"Residual lotus and dead leaves, the queen should let people pull all these things out, so as not to look sad!"
The first time Xiahou Shangle saw Bai Yuchen like this, bursts of distress arose in her heart, and she frowned slightly. She told people not to take away these residual lotus, but just wanted to come when nothing happened. Take a look in the backyard.
She was not like Bai Yuchen. She would feel sad when she saw Canhe, but every time she came here when she was unhappy, she would feel much calmer when she looked at Canhe in Mantang. When she was in Muchao, she lived There is also a large lotus pond in the Bieyuan, where the remaining lotus remains in the pond every year.
"The ancients said, leaving Can He to listen to the rain, the concubine only loves the quietness, and the sadness is a human heart, not because of Can He. If a person is in a bad mood, he will feel sad when looking at everything. If it is good, looking at the dead lotus leaves, it will be a bit more tranquil and quiet. There are words that touch the scene, and of course there will be the scene. The emperor feels sad. That is because the emperor feels upset. There is nothing that cannot be solved!"
Xiahou Shangle said softly, Bai Yuchen stood by the pond with his hands under his hands, his eyebrows were still frowned, and his eyes were no longer as irritable as when he first came to the Youran lotus courtyard.
"Yan Ruyu asked me to give her the power of the harem, and the central government is also divided into parties. Sometimes I really feel that I am not a good emperor or a good husband. The government does not handle well, the harem is not well managed, and there is always a failure. Feeling lingers in my heart."
My heart was a little bit painful. Xiahou Shangle didn’t speak, but walked to Bai Yuchen’s side and sighed softly. She never knew that as an emperor, she would have such a sad time. The man she liked was in her There was such a fragile side in front of him, Xiahou Shangle didn't know how to comfort him, so it took a long time to speak softly.
"The identity of the emperor and the husband can only be changed by the emperor. Is it a good emperor? It is the people's evaluation of the emperor a hundred years later, but not a good husband. Even ordinary people cannot say that everyone is a good husband. , The emperor is the king of a country first, and the husband of a person second! Regarding affairs, his concubines do not understand, and also understand that in the Yue Dynasty, there are rules that the harem is not allowed to do politics. As for Yan Ruyu who wants to control the harem, the concubine wants to send the emperor a sentence Then, no matter what the situation, no matter what happens, the emperor must first balance it. Only when balance is achieved can the best solution be found!"
Balance, Bai Yuchen chewed on Xiahou's words, yeah, now in the harem, Nie Xiaoran and Guo Lanhan don't care about the world, they just read books every day, and occasionally come out to walk around the Royal Garden, and the only one who can compete with Yan Ruyu is Liang Shimei.
Bai Yuchen suddenly became enlightened. The balance of Xiahou's appreciation of music can be used not only in the harem, but also in government affairs. I can think of using Na Fei’s four people with different minds, but forgot to use the balance method. Let the chaotic government calm down.
"A word from the queen really made me stand out. I will return to the palace first, and come back when I have time!"
"The concubine sent to the emperor respectfully!"
