Chapter 171:

After Princess Zhaoyang went to the palace to greet her mother, she felt relieved when she found that her queen's food, clothing, shelter and transportation remained the same as before. Although she said horribly, she actually couldn't bear to see this mother being bullied by others.
Looking at it now, there is no bullying.
Xiao Heng really deserves to be the man she once fancyed, and Princess Zhaoyang sighed that she could still take care of such a queen.
"It's all to blame for the empress who is not grateful for herself, and sent someone to watch the emperor. The emperor is more generous than filial piety."
This is the judgment made by Princess Zhaoyang.
He has finally become the three princes of the three princes. Life has not been easy recently. Before his brother and Xiao Heng got on the bar, it turned out to be boring in the end. Of course, he has self-knowledge and will not seek out what he shouldn't. He didn't have the ambition and talent for seeking.
After all, his mother's queen did such a thing as a prying eyes on the queen dowager. The third prince was surprised when he heard the news. He was worried about what happened to his mother and Xiao Heng was afraid of him because of this. .
For this, I suffered no less.
Even later, the dust settled. He saw that Xiao Heng also picked it up and put it down gently. Even the empress who had a weird temperament towards him, only invited to Qixia Hall. The daily supply of food and clothing remained as usual, so he was finally relieved.
In the end, it was Xiao Heng's kind heart, who left a face for himself and his mother.
Later, he naturally talked about it with Princess Zhaoyang, and both of them were relieved.
As for Gu Suier, the empress dowager went to Qixia Hall. With the accusation that the empress dowager had been spying on, she didn't need to go to the empress dowager every day.
This is really a chore for her.
"Niangniang, this is good, now the empress dowager is nothing more than a false name. In the harem, you are the biggest empress, the emperor comes up, and you have to listen to the empress. This is really the number of people under 10,000! "
Mother An was really pleased with this. Apart from her comfort, of course she secretly checked all the eunuchs and mothers who had worked for the empress dowager.
Those people either changed their allegiance to the queen, or were driven out of the palace directly by her.
In short, in the palace nowadays, all eyes and ears are the queen, no one dares not listen to the queen's orders.
Gu Suier heard what Madam An said, although she was happy, but it was not for the sake of one person being over ten thousand people, but thinking that the harem is clean, and Xiao Heng might be more focused on the affairs of the court.
Like before, Xiao Heng actually smashed the West Wind Garden for himself, and this spread to the court ordering official's ears. After all, it didn't look like that.
Now that he is good at taking care of the harem, Xiao Heng is also relieved, and he concentrates on taking care of Achen and Awan.
But what she didn't expect was that within a few days of this cleansing, something else happened.
Originally, there were two types of admonishment officials in the central government: the inner stage and the outer stage. The inner stage was the Yushitai, and the outer stage was the supervisor. The inner and the outer stage performed their duties. Many of them were different, but now the Yushitai doctor and the supervisor doctor They even gave advice, saying that there is only one queen in the harem, and no concubines, and the emperor should donate to the concubines and open branches and leaves for the royal family.
Seeing such advice, Xiao Heng naturally ignored it and threw it aside.
But who knows, there are more and more such memorabilia, and the words are getting more and more earnest and solemn, like that, it seems that Xiao Heng can't take a concubine to marry a concubine, this Jokhang country is about to perish.
Xiao Heng sneered, but under the command of all these melodies, they did not approve or send them.
It was in Ruiding Hou’s Mansion that what kind of bed he wanted Xiao Heng to sleep on was not controlled by others, not to mention that he is now an emperor, what kind of woman he wants, how many women, and A group of courtiers to decide?
There are naturally those ministers who will appreciate the holy intentions, knowing that the emperor only favors the empress's empress, and that people like them are admonishment empty-handed and irritating the emperor for nothing, so they will not mention this matter again.
But there are always some people who are not long-sighted, thinking that the emperor should put all his attention on the society, and that he is the eternal virtuous minister comparable to Wei Zheng of the Tang Dynasty. Those who are above memorials are still in an endless stream. In the harem, "Mian Ning One and Two Concubines".
Gu Suier didn't know such scenes at first. She only served as a councilor in the harem and took care of her own pair of children. She knew so much. Besides, Xiao Heng also deliberately concealed it, and he didn't want her to worry about it, so naturally people would keep it from her.
Later, the second youngest grandma brought Sister Ru over, and inadvertently mentioned: "The emperor is really fond of the empress. Even if the officials are admonishing, he is not moved at all."
Gu Suier didn't know this at all, but now she was startled.
"Admonish the officials? What do you advise? It has something to do with my palace?" She realized what.
"Oh... I don't know the empress?" The second young lady realized that the emperor loved empress, but she kept hiding this matter from her.
Right now I regretted that I was talking too much, so I had to prevaricate: "It's nothing, the government affairs of North Korea are busy, and the emperor must not want the empress to worry about it."
This prevarication was obviously false. The second young lady's face was reddish, but she couldn't say anything. Fortunately, at this time, the mother brought refreshments, so she had to change the subject and talk about other things.
Gu Suier sent away the Second Young Lady and Sister Ru, but she was puzzled, knowing that Xiao Heng must be hiding something from herself, and when her heart moved, she called Ah Chen.
"Let's talk about it, what's the major event in the DPRK recently?" Gu Suier became less and less loving when facing her son.
Sometimes Gu Suier would also wonder why she was so fierce to her son. Looking at Awan who made herself soft enough to her heart, she could not help but reflect on herself, but as soon as she saw Ah Chen, she couldn't help being fierce. .
If it's not right, Ah Chen is fierce, she feels something is wrong.
"I...I don't know." Ah Chen glanced at his mother's pretentiously fierce eyes, rolled her eyes, spread her hands, and said innocently: "Mother, this political issue, I am a child and I How do I know... I'm still a kid who studies."
Gu Suier sneered when she heard the words.
"Achen, Zhizi Mo Ruoniang, don't pretend to be in front of this palace. Looking at your rolling eyes, you must be hiding something from me! If you dare not say, I will tell your father and let your father The emperor spanked you!"
This threat heard in Ah Chen's ears, and he suddenly felt a pain in his butt.
He couldn't help but touched his ass, and grievedly narrowed his mouth: "Queen, I didn't do anything wrong, why should I hit me!"
Gu Suier: "Because this palace lets your father beat you."
Ah Chen: "..."
He opened his innocent eyes, and looked at his mother in grief and disbelief. How could his mother learn to threaten him like this?
This this this...
But... he was really scared.
Because he knew that his father always listened to his mother, and his mother really wanted his father to beat him, he really couldn't escape.
"Then what I have said is not enough!" Ah Chen muttered softly; "Actually, those ministers all teased my father to marry me!"
Having said that, he raised his eyebrows and said with some pride: "Will I agree? Of course I disagree? They said that if my dad marry me, I will agree?"
He said this naturally and smoothly, but in fact he agrees or disagrees. Does it matter?
Of course Gu Suier didn't care about this issue.
Gu Suier had actually guessed it a long time ago, and now I heard Ah Chen say this, but I just sat down.
She thought that the ministers played sparsely just to give Xiao Heng a woman, so she felt funny and distressed. She naturally believed in her husband's character, knowing that he would not change his mind because of some ministers.
It's just that the disciples increase a lot of worry.
"Have you been studying hard recently?"
Gu Suier's eyes suddenly fell on Ah Chen, and she asked.
"I... of course I study diligently." Ah Chen didn't understand. Isn't he talking about Dad's marrying my daughter? Why suddenly this topic turned to himself.
"That's good, don't be naughty anymore, read more, or your father will get angry, if he can't say more concubines, then give you a bunch of younger brothers."
Gu Suier threatened her son.
"..."
Ah Chen shrugged his eyebrows, his mother is also true, this kind of lie, maybe Mon Awan is okay? Meng him, how is it possible?
"What? You won't listen?"
"No, no, no... I naturally listen to what my mother said. I must study hard, and I must live up to the expectations of my father and queen, and I must grow up to be a great emperor!"
Ah Chen said this quickly.
Looking at her son's sincere expression, Gu Suier felt soft-hearted, and touched his hair lovingly: "Achen wants to behave."
Ah Chen: "...Hmm."
But he thinks he has always been good.
Since knowing that all the officials had asked for Xiao Heng's concubine one by one, Gu Suier naturally felt sorry for her husband.
After all, the government is already burdensome. Xiao Heng has to spend some effort to do this. Now he has to bear the pressure of not accepting his concubines and not opening up for the royal family. How can he not be upset?
Gu Suier didn't mention this to Xiao Heng, and didn't want Xiao Heng to know that she had inquired about it from Ah Chen, she just took care of the harem more carefully.
In fact, in the harem, since Xiao Heng ascended the throne, he has sent hundreds of Gong'e back home, and there is nowhere to go, and some of them have used money from the palace as a dowry for their respective marriages.
Nowadays, there are no other nobles in the palace except Gu Suier, but the maids who stayed to serve.
In addition to taking care of the harem, Gu Suier is more respectful in taking care of Xiao Heng. She knows that Xiao Heng likes the food she cooks with her own hands. Although the chef in the Imperial Kitchen is better than herself, she will get tired of eating frequently. Xiao Heng will Occasionally I miss the meals I cooked in Northern Xinjiang.
So she would pick a free day to cook for Xiao Heng, or make some pasta snacks that he likes to eat.
On this day, Xiao Heng turned down, but his face was hesitating, and he entered the Courtyard Palace, still with displeasure between his eyebrows.
In the past, he ignored all the memorabilia, and even met some fierce rhetoric, he would dismiss it.
Who knows that today, above that hall, the current Wei Guogong actually took the lead in playing succincts and asked him to accept his concubine as a daughter.
He naturally refused, and clearly preached that there was only the queen in his harem and nothing else.
Who knew that those people actually knelt down and cried, saying that now he is twenty seven, but only the prince is under his knees, and the population is thin, so he is afraid of shaking the country.
Xiao Heng hated being so persecuted, not to mention that as the emperor, he was persecuted by his ministers. He was furious on the spot and walked away.
Now that I returned to the harem, stepped into the Courtyard Palace, and saw Gu Suier's soft smile when welcoming him, I finally felt relieved.
Few people in this world know why he insists on not accepting a concubine.
He had no father since he was a child and lived a difficult life. When he was young, all he remembered was that his mother worked hard to support himself, while he stayed at home alone, waiting for his mother to return hungry.
Sometimes I sneak on the wooden pier and lie on the wall, looking at the neighbors.
The family next door, there are fathers, mothers, old people and children, and the whole family gathers to eat and talk, and they enjoy themselves.
At that time, when he looked at other people's home, he would also think, if he also had such a home.
Later, he went to Ruiding Houfu, and Ruiding Houfu gave him a home, but it was not the same as the one he hoped.
His longing was hidden in his heart and never mentioned. He felt that depending on his temperament, he was afraid that it would be impossible in this life.
But he met Gu Suier. Gu Suier gave birth to him and washed his hands and made soup.
He knew that this was the home he wanted.
Such a home, a home given to him by Gu Suier, is a coincidence and a coincidence. It is not easy to come by. How could he go to accept a concubine and make this home utterly utterly utterly exhausted?
Gu Suier naturally saw that his face was not good, but she didn't ask.
Before in the frontier, it was possible to ask questions, but now he is enthroned and his status is different from before, so she will not ask.
She did not understand the major events of the court.
What she could do was Haosheng made him a snack he liked to eat, and immediately greeted him, helped Xiao Heng change his clothes, and served him a snack.
"You look bad?" Xiao Heng curled his eyebrows slightly and looked at Gu Suier who was smiling beside him: "The doctor asked for a pulse the other day, did you say anything?"
As usual, the imperial physician will communicate with the nobles in the palace every month.
"No..." Gu Suier shook her head: "I am in good health, and the doctor didn't say anything."
But when she said this, she suddenly remembered that she always felt her breath is unstable these few days, and occasionally felt suffocated, and even her appetite was not good.
She hasn't been too busy recently, is it really bad?
Of course, I only know this in my own heart. After all, the imperial doctor only got my pulse ten days ago. How could it be possible that he got a serious illness in only ten days.
If it is something inconspicuous, it will be passed after raising it by yourself, and there is no need to let Xiao Heng know. He has enough things to worry about now, so why bother to make him worry more.
When Xiao Heng heard her say this, he thought about letting the imperial physician in the palace come over and ask her for a pulse in the past two days.
Who knew that he was thinking, he heard Gu Sui'er suddenly covering his lips, turning away his face, making a retching sound.
Xiao Heng was slightly startled, and hurriedly supported her, helping her beat her back: "Why do you feel uncomfortable?"
Gu Suier only felt that her appetite was upset these few days, but she didn't expect that she would vomit in front of Xiao Heng. She finally stopped the vomiting, froze for a while, and suddenly thought of something.
Looking back, her clear eyes were shining brightly: "The emperor, I...I might..."
Xiao Heng looked at her with his eyes facing each other, and he also thought about it.
"Quick Xuan's doctor."
There was a faint joy in his calm and cold voice.
