Chapter 82: Talking in the Imperial Study
Concubine Wu had already told her that before she came, the emperor had already renovated the original minister's mansion and turned it into her princess's mansion.
You will be able to move in in the next few days.
In addition, Qionghua Palace is currently the palace where she temporarily resides in the palace.
After the palace banquet, she can move into the princess's mansion.
For the sake of future freedom, she endured it.
Emperor Yong had already managed to finish reading the first volume by making strange noises all the way, and put the book back proudly.
He gave Concubine Wu another look, letting her experience it herself.
Concubine Wu was drinking tea and reading a storybook. When she heard Emperor Yong's series of sarcastic remarks, she couldn't help but roll her eyes.
I just pretended not to notice the hint from his gaze behind me.
Emperor Yong clenched his fist and coughed heavily, finally attracting Concubine Wu's attention. "Your Majesty is ill. Do you want to summon the imperial physician?"
Emperor Yong was embarrassed for a moment.
Then a wave of sadness surged up. The imperial concubine didn't know what was going on. Her ability to understand the emperor's intentions was not as strong as before.
How come this girl entered the palace and seduced her concubine?
Emperor Yong coughed uncomfortably. Since he couldn't understand, he had to speak up himself. "What about the next volume?"
"Hmm?" Concubine Wu was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood that His Majesty wanted to see the next volume, but also wanted to give it to him on his own initiative.
He is really spoiled!
Concubine Wu waved her hand, and a palace maid brought the next volume of the storybook. Emperor Yong then took it with satisfaction and enjoyed this rare leisure time.
Especially, when he was enjoying himself, Zhong Ning was being trained on the other side for comparison. Looking at him this way, he seemed to have even stronger intentions.
He read two volumes in a row until the chief eunuch came in to report that Qi Yu wanted to see him about important matters. Emperor Yong then put down the storybook reluctantly and walked towards the imperial study.
When he left, he looked at Zhong Ning with resentment.
It was clearly he who gave her status and honor, granted her a residence, and renovated the princess's mansion, but in the end, he got nothing.
Even the imperial concubine received gifts, but he didn't.
Emperor Yong looked unhappy and walked towards the imperial study.
When they finally entered the hall, Qi Yu was summoned in. Just as he was about to pay his respects, he saw an exquisite jade box placed on the imperial table.
"What is this?" asked Emperor Yong.
The chief eunuch stepped forward with a smile and replied, "Your Majesty, I dare not take the initiative. This was sent by Princess Zhaohua. Perhaps it is a gift for Your Majesty!"
The corners of Emperor Yong's lips curled up slightly. It seemed that he had wronged the girl. Although the girl's manners were a little vulgar and her actions were a little bold, she was still a sensible child after all!
Emperor Yong rolled up his sleeves and carefully opened the jade box. Inside was a layer of white brocade, and on top of the brocade lay a purple Ganoderma lucidum that spread out like a auspicious cloud.
"Your Majesty, this purple Ganoderma lucidum is a top-grade elixir. It must be a hundred years old. It is rarely seen even in the palace. The princess is really thoughtful." The chief eunuch smiled and praised Zhong Ning's filial piety to the sky with just a few words.
"Well, Zhaohua is a filial person." Emperor Yong was very satisfied with the gift and praised Qi Yu for finding such a wonderful woman like Zhong Ning. "Qi Aiqing is also good and has won my heart!"
Qi Yu:……..
"Yes, I thank Your Majesty for your praise. It is Your Majesty's grace that has enabled me to find such a remarkable person as the princess!"
When Emperor Yong heard this, he agreed.
If he hadn't suddenly appeared and made up a story about a common princess, Zhao Hua would never have been able to be with him.
What's more, she looks a bit like me.
How can such a good match not be considered God’s will?
"My dear Qi, is there anything important that brings you to the palace today?" Emperor Yong waved his hand, signaling the eunuch to carefully put the jade box away, and then asked.
Qi Yu didn't dare to hide anything and repeated what he had gotten from Yang Yong. Emperor Yong's eyes widened as he looked at him in disbelief. "Rebirth? How could such a strange thing exist in this world?"
"Your Majesty, the woman stated that in her previous life, due to fate, she became the head maid of Li Rongyue, the third daughter of the Minister of Rites. She was fortunate enough to accompany the third daughter Li into the palace to pay homage to her elder sister, Concubine Zhen. This is how she was able to see the Emperor."
Emperor Yong: "Zhenpin's sister's maid?"
Concubine Zhen entered the palace last year and was favored for two days every month, so he had a pretty good impression of her.
But this is not enough to prove that the other party is reborn.
Qi Yu continued, "Besides that, the woman also said that Yelü Zhen, the seventh prince of Beidi, was among the envoys."
Emperor Yong's hand, which was stroking Bizhuzi, suddenly stopped.
His eyes suddenly became sharp, and his entire demeanor changed drastically.
Just sitting there makes people feel awe-inspiring and oppressive!
"Investigate!" Emperor Yong said coldly, and then continued, "There's something fishy about that woman. Send someone to keep a close watch on her. No one can afford to lose her!"
"Your humble servant obeys your command. I have already sent people to investigate the matter of the Northern Di envoys. I believe there will be results soon. However, with the Northern Di making such unusual moves, if there are no veteran generals guarding the front lines, I am worried that they will take advantage of this opportunity to invade."
"Don't worry, my dear minister." Emperor Yong waved his hand, saying nonchalantly, "The Northern Di may be ambitious, but they know they can't take over Great Yong anytime soon. All they want is to demand some money and food."
"After the princess marries the Western Rong, Great Yong and Western Rong will unite as a powerful force, and I will take care of the Northern Di issue myself!"
Qi Yu:……..
A bitter feeling welled up in Qi Yu's heart.
As expected, His Majesty still has to put the overall interests of the world first, and does not have many solutions to the problem of the Northern Di repeatedly sending troops to harass the border.
Perhaps, it is not just His Majesty, most of the court officials are waiting for this marriage to begin as soon as possible. Once the princess is married, they will have a powerful relative like the Western Rong.
In this way, the Northern Di and Southern Zhao would all be a piece of cake.
Will everything really be peaceful if we place our hopes of victory on other countries?
The entire family of Marquis Yongyi is still in prison. As for the claim he made earlier about the replacement of Marquis Yongyi's son, there is no evidence for the time being because the secret guard escaped.
Now I just hope that during this Double Ninth Festival banquet, the Northern Di envoys can gain something else when they enter the palace to attend the banquet.
Although they all don’t know why the Seventh Prince of Beidi came this time?
But I think it won’t be a good thing!
Emperor Yong suddenly thought of the so-called Seventh Prince of Beidi, who seemed to be quite famous. He thought for a moment, and then said, "Since the Seventh Prince of Beidi is coming, let Gu Mingzhe and other talented people make some preparations!"
"The minister obeys the order!"
"Also, the girl said that when her mother met someone, the other person left behind a poem!"
"Tell me about it!" said Emperor Yong.
"[The graceful Yan Niang, fifteen years old, accustomed to dragging her long skirts, never taking delicate steps. A single glance from the crowd reveals her beauty, while the world's colors are like dust.] The girl's mother's maiden name is none other than Lin Yan Niang!"
Emperor Yong frowned slightly. He was very sure that he had never written such a poem.
Although he had learned it since childhood, he had no interest in it.
