Chapter 170: Can't talk

"This..." Tang Shi refused: "Concubine has just entered the palace, I'm afraid..."
"What are you panicking? You are not the only one who is even promoted as soon as you enter the palace. While you are still favored, don't ask the emperor to ask for more grace, then wait for the emperor to neglect you, and you will lose everything you want." With a blank eye, Concubine Shu said: "Wait."
"Yes." Tang said with curtsey, "Thank you, Niang Niang."
Concubine Shu also did what she thought of, and immediately went to the emperor to help Tang's position.
"Then seal Zhaoyi." The emperor said casually.
"Thank you, the emperor."
This has no meritorious service and no heirs. It would be good to be promoted. Concubine Shu didn't force her, and only ordered some of her own people, so Tang had some potential and could support it.
So she started to help Tang's fight for favor behind her back. Tang Shi did not let her down. Every time she got a little effect, she never forgot to give her gifts in the palace. She seemed to be a very kind person.
It didn't take long for Concubine Shu to be completely relieved of her and treat her as her own.
The situation in North Korea and China is slowly changing. Because Li Yue and others are unfamiliar with affairs, they have a lazy temperament in their bones, so power gradually concentrated in the hands of Tang Yue, Lu Sanbian and others. Li Yue has not yet reacted. , I gag around every day, and then deal with Li Jiyue, so that he doesn't have to worry.
So when Li Ji found out that something was wrong, the situation was irreparable.
"How could this happen?" General Meng and the others got together, very confused: "You have not noticed, this is unknowingly, our words are no longer useful, and we can't intervene in the affairs of the court."
Isn't this nonsense? The official position has been let out for so long, even if there is surplus power, it should be almost consumed.
Li Ji closed his eyes further and said: "The emperor's trick to boil the frog in warm water is also beautiful. Before the group of can control the right to speak in the court, we will lose our position first. In this way, it will be weakened in disguise. For us."
I didn't expect this before, but I gave up my position just for the good of my children and grandchildren. It's all right now, and it's a dead end.
"What should we do? Just sit there and wait for death?" General Meng frowned: "No? This country was defeated by our ancestors anyway, and we helped the emperor sit on the throne. It doesn't make sense to end up like this. The end!"
Everyone was silent, and some people waved their hands tiredly: "Look again, we are also old, we can't turn it over."
Li Ji snorted colder, and immediately got up and went to write a letter in the study.
The emperor probably also thought that their group of old officials could not turn the sky, so he treated them so presumptuously? It's a pity that water can carry and overturn a boat. After all, the emperor Yuwenjie is still too young.
Hall of Nourishment.
"Is it time?" Huachun smiled and circled the emperor: "I can walk with confidence, right?"
Yuwen licked his lips, with a smile in his eyes: "You could walk with confidence."
"Who said that?" Rolling his eyes, Hua Chun said, "When I get out of bed, you will stare at something like a stare when I get out of bed. A staggering will make you black. How can you rest assured? Walk? It’s fine now, I can jump twice."
This body was three months pregnant. The doctor Feng checked that there was nothing serious and the fetal position was correct, so the two of them were relieved. Three months later, the emperor also planned to send a letter to the queen mother, so as not to hide it for a long time. The queen mother must be angry too.
It's just that you have to choose a good way to tell, try to keep the queen mother calm and protect Huachun in secret. Once the harem knows about it, it's over.
After much deliberation, the emperor chose a good day and took Huachun to the Huiming Hall.
However, when the dragon cart was halfway there, someone outside asked for peace.
"Is the emperor going to please the Queen Mother?" Tang Shi smiled and stood beside the car and said, "It just so happens that concubines and others are going to talk to the Queen Mother."
The corner of Huachun's mouth twitched. In the afternoon specially chosen, all those who should be pleased should be over. Who knew that this group of people had convulsions and was going to speak with the Queen Mother, then how could she and the emperor confess?
Yu Wenjie frowned and was silent for a while before saying: "I won't go to the Queen's Palace, I'm just passing by, you go first."
"Yes." Tang Shi raised his eyebrows and led the others to move on.
"It may not be suitable today." The emperor said: "It's okay to come back tomorrow. They will never come to speak with the Queen Mother every day."
"Okay." Hua Chun responded, thinking for a while: "I don't know why, the concubine has a kind of intuition. Previously, we had to hide it from the queen mother, and then it might become what we want to say, but there is no way to say it. The situation is."
Looking at her, Yu Wenjie shook his head: "You think too much."
They were all in the palace, and it didn't take long to reach the distance by car. How could it be impossible to tell?
However, Huachun really didn't guess wrong this time. In the days that followed, people in the Queen Mother Palace often didn't say anything, and the emperor began to get busy.
"Lord Xi started conscription on the grounds of excessive reductions and insufficient strength." He Changan came into the palace and sat next to Huachun, frowning and said: "The action is very big, saying that only 50,000 soldiers are enlisted, who Do you know how much it is? Last time, he wrote an excerpt and said that he had cut 100,000. It is estimated that there was some water."
Huachun frowned: "Seeing the New Year is approaching, he refuses to make people feel better?"
"Every year during the New Year, the princes of the fiefs have to return to Beijing to dine with the queen mother." He Changan frowned: "So the emperor has been a little anxious lately, so busy that he can't even take care of sleeping, so he only asked the minister to come over and inform the empress. ."
"He's busy, I know." Huachun nodded: "I won't blame him, but I can't help him this time. Recently, he is getting more and more sleepy, and his mind is full of paste."
He Chang'an was taken aback, and glanced down at her belly covered by the blanket, with some doubts: "Manny...is there anything wrong with her body?"
Huachun had a meal, thought for a while, and asked Qing Niao to close the door, and then honestly said: "I'm pregnant, it's been three months, so I have not moved."
He Changan was shocked, his pupils shrunk slightly and looked at her blankly.
"Second brother, don't be too surprised." Huachun said embarrassedly: "Sooner or later, things just come faster than imagined, because the harem is too complicated. The emperor means that the less people know the better, so even you Did not say."
"...That's it." He Chang'an lowered his eyes and curled his lips: "Congratulations, Niang Niang, with the emperor, you can get along better with the emperor."
He tried his best to make his tone calmer, but his heart hurts so badly that he can't hide it no matter how much he can conceal it. He can't even stay in the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart. He stood up and said, "Weichen has other things. ."
Hua Chun pursed her lips, smiled at him, and said, "Second brother, walk slowly."
Nodded, He Changan turned around and strode out, almost staggering, with a moon-white robe lined with a pale face, and surprised Rui'er outside: "Hou Ye, are you okay?"
"It's okay." He Changan smiled as he waved her hand, and quickly left the Hall of Nourishment.
Rui Er was stunned.
She didn't understand anything, only that Gong Yuhou was the elder brother of her master, but the smile of Lord Hou just now made her feel a pain in her heart, and then her face was blank, not knowing why she was a little sad.
At first, he spent Jinghua in the palace, He Changan could pretend that nothing happened, only when the emperor saved her life. Later, when she waited in bed, he persuaded himself that it was inevitable.
Until now, when she was three months pregnant, he suddenly realized that many things couldn't go back early in the morning. What was not caught at the beginning, but then there was no chance again.
Yu Wenjie is really good, and he taught him with practical actions what is meant by "starting first is strong". Even if he still couldn't let go of her, he was forced to let go now.
Losing thoroughly, but not necessarily willingly.
He took a deep breath and leaned against the scarlet palace wall. He Changan raised his head and closed his eyes, feeling extremely tired.
"Master Hou?" A surprised voice sounded beside him.
He Changan was taken aback, opened his eyes and saw that it turned out to be Tang.
The girl who sold steamed buns is now Tang Zhaoyi. This was the first meeting since she entered the palace.
Standing up straight, He Changan nodded: "Mother Zhaoyi is well."
Tang looked at him blankly. After watching for a long time, he was sure that it was not an illusion. He couldn't help but walked two steps towards him: "It's really you..."
Frowning slightly, He Changan took two steps backwards: "The concubine in the palace should keep a distance from the foreign minister, and the empress should stay."
The only illusion in his heart was wiped clean by his words. Tang Zhaoyi sank his face and pursed his lips: "Master Hou doesn't need to think about it. My palace has no other meaning, just to say hello to the deceased."
"Then the minister will retire first." He Changan nodded and walked past her to the entrance of the harem.
Tang Shi turned his head, stared at his back for a long time, then took a deep breath and asked Ling'er, "Where did he come from?"
Ling'er replied: "When Lord Hou goes to the harem, he will only come to see Empress De Consort."
After all, they are brothers and sisters, Tang thinks understandable, but...
"I have a question I have been asking for a long time." She said: "Why do people call Concubine De Fei Huashi? Even if it is called the surname, shouldn't it be He?"
Linger shook his head: "The Concubine De consort is the younger sister recognized by Master Hou. She is registered in He's family, and she is actually not related by blood.
With a slight shock, Tang's gaze shifted, and after a while, he hummed and continued to move forward.
"The emperor hasn't been free, why don't you go to the Queen's Palace yourself, Master?" Qing said, "Let's go there at night."
Looking down at her stomach, Hua Chun curled her lips: "Let's not talk about the problem of the queen mother resting too late. If you choose such a strange time, people will definitely doubt it. You can only find Huiming Hall during the day when there is no one. "
"However, the Huiming Palace has been lively lately, so waiting this way is no way." Qing Niao said, "Should the slave and maid go to discuss with Aunt Yuejian, let the queen mother leave some time to come out and see you only?"
