Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 612 Listen to the Queen
Suffering makes people grow.

But, many times, suffering doesn't have just one form.

Seeing the extravagance and absurdity in the palace, Empress Qian sighed and waved her hands lightly, so the big court lady Zhiluo behind her immediately understood, and immediately began to direct the palace staff to tidy up the mess in Qinghe Pavilion.

These palace people were obviously used to this kind of scene for a long time, and they took care of themselves and quickly cleaned up.

After a while, the Qinghe Pavilion became clear and refreshing, and even the half pot of wine on the table in front of the Supreme Emperor was put away by the palace people.

As the real master of Nangong, Zhu Qizhen not only did not show any dissatisfaction, but cooperated with a smile, put down the wine glass in his hand, thought for a while, and urged the palace people beside him.

"Go get two more cushions."

Then, he simply stood up, walked down the steps, supported Queen Qian's hand, and let her sit in her original position, while Zhu Qizhen leaned on the newly brought cushion beside him, said.

"The queen mother wants to come over, why didn't you tell me in advance that your legs and feet are inconvenient, so send someone to pass on a message, and I will let Ruan Lang welcome the queen to Yanchun Palace when the time comes."

The Nangong Palace is large in scale. The Chonghua Hall at the front is the Yizheng Hall, the Qinghe Pavilion at the back is Zhu Qizhen’s bedroom, and the nine halls on the left are the residences of the inner palace concubines.

Empress Qian smiled, but shook her head and said.

"Your Majesty was joking. Since you are keeping the year old, you will naturally go to your Majesty's Qinghe Pavilion and your concubine's Yanchun Palace. What does it look like? If you celebrate the New Year, you don't have to make your mother angry."

"What's more, it's just two steps. Recently, my concubine's legs have improved a lot. The imperial doctor said that if you walk around more, you can recover sooner."

Among the nine halls of the South Palace, the Yongchun Palace in the middle is the largest. Logically speaking, it should be the residence of the main palace. However, Yongchun Palace is a little far away from Qinghe Pavilion.

Therefore, Zhu Qizhen simply let Mrs. Qian live in Yanchun Palace which is the closest to Qinghe Pavilion. As for Yongchun Palace, although there are many more empresses in Nangong these days, no one can live in this palace.

It should be said that the current situation of Nangong is still very comfortable and peaceful.

The emperor kept his word. Since the return of the Supreme Emperor, he has never interfered with Nangong's affairs. The post of Nangong's guard commander has also been handed over to Meng Jun. From the harem.

Inside the Nangong Palace, there are Habayashi guards patrolling, and there are Jinyi guards outside the palace, but there are never any restrictions.

Out of prudent considerations, up to now, Zhu Qizhen has not tried to leave Nangong, but Empress Qian has gone out twice.

Once, when the little princess was born, she went to Kunning Palace.

Before, when Zhu Qizhen was in Yibei, Empress Wang took good care of her, so this time when the little princess was born, Empress Qian specially brought a piece of Yu Linglong as a gift.

Another time, when the dust settled in the East Palace, Empress Qian went to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to visit Prince Zhu Jianshen.

You know, since Zhu Qizhen returned to the capital, his concubines also moved to Nangong, including the prince's biological mother, noble concubine Zhou.

Logically speaking, Zhu Jianshen should also move to the South Palace with his biological mother like the other princes. However, after the new year, the prince will leave the pavilion to study and move to live in the East Palace.

Therefore, in order not to toss back and forth, he temporarily lived in the Compassionate Ning Palace.

Empress Qian did not encounter any obstacles when she left Nangong twice.

However, it was unavoidable that when leaving the Chonghua Gate, the Jin Yiwei on duty followed him to Miyagi, and they followed closely.

However, this is expected and not surprising.

What really distressed Empress Qian was that her husband seemed to have changed a lot compared to before.

The Zhu Qizhen in her impression is a man who stands upright, proud and arrogant. All the difficulties in this world seem to be shattered in front of him.

Outsiders all know that the orthodox emperor favors power and traitors and insists on going his own way, but only Empress Qian knows that her husband has great ambitions and handles government affairs until late at night.

At that time, he was ambitious and determined to build up the achievements of his father and ancestors and leave his name through the ages.

Before the personal conquest, although Empress Qian was the lord of the six palaces, she didn't worry about everything.

Because Zhu Qizhen can be distracted and help her deal with many affairs in the harem. On weekdays, she can even do some embroidery that she likes, and sew some small things like sachets.

At that time, my husband seemed to have endless energy and energy.

But now...

In this small world of Nangong, he is still the king who speaks for himself, and he is still full of energy every day.

However, as the person next to him, Empress Qian could feel that the fire in his heart was extinguished.

Now, he harbors guilt, cowardice, and indescribably complex emotions in his heart.

He began to like extravagance, greedy for beauty, and good food, and became the fatuous look mentioned in the book that he once dismissed.

However, he still treated her very well, even better than before.

Watching the husband in front of him personally take the teacup from Ruan Lang's hand, he carefully felt the temperature through the cup before handing it to him. When Empress Qian took the cup, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

Now Zhu Qizhen can do many things that he couldn't do before.

For example, I would personally pour tea and water for her, eat with her, and help her practice walking patiently step by step.

Even when she suffered from an old disease at night and coughed continuously, no matter which bedroom she was in, she would rush over immediately in clothes, decoct the medicine herself, test the medicine, and then stay by the bed for a whole night.

Not like the empress of the Tian family, but like a folk couple.

On the bright side, in the Nangong Palace, it was Zhu Qizhen who took care of Empress Qian.

However, Empress Qian knew that now her husband was relying on her instead.

The palace man made a mistake, and he was so angry that he wanted to be punished to death, but as soon as Queen Qian arrived, the great anger could be dispelled in an instant.

In Nangong, no one dares to offend Jun Yan.

However, Empress Qian was free to go to banquets and dances in the Qinghe Pavilion, and send away the dancers who were halfway through the dance.

Not only was Zhu Qizhen not angry, he would pour tea himself, help her sit down and watch the palace servants tidy up with great interest.

This kind of performance often made Empress Qian feel like a thorn in her throat, but felt distressed for a while.

Yibei, what happened to turn a young king who wanted to be the master of everything into the current decadent emperor.

She didn't dare to ask, and she didn't want to ask. Before the conquest, she lived carefree under her husband's wings. Now, her husband needs to rely on, so she is the one to rely on!
Gently sipping the fragrant tea, Empress Qian put down the teacup with a slight smile on her face, stretched out her hand to straighten Zhu Qizhen's wrinkled clothes, and said.

"Your Majesty, on New Year's Eve today, the Queen Mother will bring Brother Shen over. The concubines called Sister Zhou, Sister Wan, and Sister Chen. They brought Brother Lin, Brother Shi, Brother Chun, and Huiqing and Jiashan. Chun'an sisters, let's celebrate the new year together, shall we?"

Zhu Qizhen sat beside him, the smile on his face froze slightly, but he didn't speak.

So, Empress Qian thought for a while, and reached out to hold his hand.

There was a soft sigh in the hall.

"Okay, listen to the queen..."
