Invincible son

Chapter 538 537 [Night Long Dreams]

Harem, Jingren Palace.

"My concubine welcomes Your Majesty."

Concubine Wu Guifei led the palace people to pay homage to the emperor's guard of honor. Emperor Kaiping got down from the imperial chariot, stepped forward to help her up, and blamed her: "I have sent someone to come here to pass the message, and I ordered you not to go out to greet her. How much did you say?" You always don't listen this time, could it be that you don't want me to come to Jingren Palace?"

Concubine Wu Guifei turned around and supported Emperor Kaiping's arm, and said with a slight smile: "Your Majesty takes pity on my concubines, but how can I be negligent in etiquette? If the adults in the previous court heard it, I would worry Your Majesty at the court meeting. The concubines know It is the benevolence of the Holy Son of Heaven to follow such advice, but if your majesty is troubled by the negligence of the concubine, it is the concubine's fault."

Emperor Kaiping glanced left and right, and said indifferently: "How do outsiders know what happened in Aifei Palace?"

The palace people were terrified, they all bowed their heads and held their breath.

Concubine Wu Gui said softly: "Your Majesty, the people in the concubine's palace are very honest, and they won't talk nonsense and bite their tongues anymore."

Emperor Kaiping nodded, but there was a calculation in his heart.

Entering the inner hall, Concubine Wu Gui personally helped Emperor Kaiping change into his regular clothes, and then thoughtfully served hot tea.

Emperor Kaiping had gentle eyes, pointed to the side and said, "Sit down too, and talk with me."

"Yes." Concubine Wu Gui replied.

Emperor Kaiping sighed softly, "I am here today to make amends."

Concubine Wu Gui was startled when she heard the words, she was at a loss and said, "Your Majesty, my concubine can't afford it."

Emperor Kaiping waved his hand to signal her not to get excited, and said slowly: "Before you took a fancy to the daughter of the Pei family and wanted to betroth her to the boss, I also agree with this marriage. I can understand your good intentions, but things are not what you want, I'm afraid You can only choose another person to marry into Prince Lu's residence."

Concubine Wu Gui bit her lower lip lightly, and said slightly surprised: "Could it be that the Pei family has gone back on their word?"

Emperor Kaiping sneered and said, "If the Pei family had the guts, I would look up to them instead. It wasn't the Pei family, it was a foolish kid who messed up this matter."

Seeing that the emperor didn't seem to be angry, Concubine Wu Gui asked curiously, "Who is so bold?"

Emperor Kaiping said angrily: "Who else can there be? That donkey-like idiot Pei Yue. Perhaps I have been too lenient during this period, and he has become more and more ignorant of the heights of heaven and earth, and dared to interfere in the affairs of the Tian family."

Although his attitude was very severe, but based on Concubine Wu Gui's understanding of this supreme being, I am afraid that the young nobleman really caught the emperor's eyes, otherwise his emotions would never have been so agitated.

Thinking of this, Concubine Wu Gui asked calmly: "Your Majesty, did the Marquis of Zhongshan intervene in this matter because he had a rift with the Pei family?"

Emperor Kaiping shook his head, briefly repeated Pei Yue's reasons, and finally said coldly: "If it weren't for the sake of his great contribution this time, I would not allow him to be so presumptuous."

Concubine Wu Gui smiled lightly: "After all, His Majesty is lenient and benevolent, so the courtiers dare to be honest with each other."

Emperor Kaiping looked at her in surprise, and asked, "You're not angry because this kid ruined the boss's marriage?"

Concubine Wu Guifei sighed softly, and said helplessly: "Your Majesty, if the concubine doesn't have some resentment in her heart, no one will believe it if she tells it. Xian'er is already in her 20s and has no heirs. How can a concubine like a mother Don't be in a hurry? After finally falling in love with a girl with a good family background, character and appearance, but being forcibly disturbed by the Marquis of Zhongshan, the concubine can't wait to teach him face to face."

Emperor Kaiping laughed and said: "He is already a prince, and you are really unable to teach him a lesson."

Concubine Wu Gui nodded and said: "The concubine understands that even if Pei Yue is still a brat, the concubine will not go out of her way to teach him a lesson."

Emperor Kaiping wondered, "Why?"

Concubine Wu Gui said with a natural expression: "Pei Yue came out this time because he wanted to repay the kindness that Pei's daughter had shown him. Seriously speaking, those kindnesses are not very deep, but he still stepped forward, which shows that he is a man who puts loyalty first. He is a man of temperament. Now he is a subject of His Majesty, and he has the ability to lead an army in battle. He is a good general who should conquer the world for His Majesty. The more people like this, the better. The courtiers and concubines wish they could be everywhere, so how can they do it because of a marriage? What about the loyalty of these courtiers?"

Emperor Kaiping couldn't help saying with emotion: "It would be great if everyone in the world thought like you."

Concubine Wu Gui said softly: "The disloyal and unrighteous people are only a very small number after all. The subjects of Daliang have a heart for His Majesty, but they cannot have the opportunity to say these words in person like courtiers and concubines."

Emperor Kaiping said with great interest: "You mean, I should speak out?"

Concubine Wu covered her mouth with a light smile and said, "Your Majesty, don't make fun of your concubines. It's not the turn of the people in the harem to talk about such important matters."

Emperor Kaiping laughed loudly, raised his hand and nodded her.

The hall is brightly lit, just like daytime.

Emperor Kaiping leaned on the couch, looked at Concubine Wu's gentle face, and said with a smile: "Today, I asked Luo Ting who among the princes is more suitable for the position of crown prince."

Concubine Wu Gui was slightly taken aback, and then a bit of nervousness appeared in her eyes.

Emperor Kaiping had a panoramic view of these changes, and continued: "He told me that establishing a heir and establishing an elder is the principle of the Tian family's conduct, and this boundary cannot be crossed."

Concubine Wu Gui moved to his side, raised her hand to help him tap his legs lightly, nodded and said: "Master Luo is right."

Emperor Kaiping asked, "Do you really think so in your heart?"

Concubine Wu Gui nodded lightly, and at the same time showed a slightly bitter smile.

However, this attitude made Emperor Kaiping very satisfied. Although the status of emperor always makes people different, he doesn't want to see everyone around him like Mo Haoli or Wang Pingzhang. The reason why he dotes on Concubine Wu more and more over the years is also the reason why Pei Yue's temperament is valued by him.

Just thinking of Luo Ting's answer, he couldn't help frowning slightly: "Wait a little longer."

Concubine Wu then persuaded: "Your Majesty, I still feel that Master Luo's words are reasonable. Xian'er's talents and abilities are not superior to others, and the adults in the previous dynasty would not agree. In fact, I only hope that he can live in peace for the rest of his life." It is good to be happy, and there is no other unreasonable thought. The concubine is already a concubine, and he is valued by His Majesty's favor, and a virtuous son is even more respected by a prince. If you are not greedy, how can you be worthy of His Majesty's grace?"

Hearing these words, Emperor Kaiping's heart moved, he raised his hand and patted the back of Concubine Wu Gui's hand, and repeated with a smile: "Wait a little longer."

Concubine Wu Gui didn't understand what he meant, she was a little dazed.

Emperor Kaiping said slowly: "Boss used to be reckless, but he has changed a lot recently, which is a good thing. But I think it's not enough, and he doesn't have to go to the palace to pay his respects every day. Only by getting close to the wise can he gradually become stronger."

Concubine Wu Gui asked, "What does Your Majesty mean?"

Emperor Kaiping laughed and said, "I'm afraid he doesn't want to let him deal with those old men. In the end, the result will be half the effort. Although Pei Yue is a few years younger than him, he may not be weaker than him in terms of experience, and this kid has a sense of grandeur. It's better for him to be close than to be bored in the palace all day long."

Concubine Wu Gui showed surprise and said without hesitation: "I thank Your Majesty for your kindness."

Emperor Kaiping warned: "Because of his youthful experience, Pei Yue's temperament is a bit skeletal, you have to mention a few words to the boss, don't become an enemy instead of getting close."

Concubine Wu Gui smiled movedly: "The concubine will definitely teach Xian'er well, so that I can live up to your majesty's painstaking efforts."

Emperor Kaiping nodded and said, "It's very good."

The night outside the hall was as dark as ink, and everything in Daliang Capital was quiet. As time passed quietly, only the night wind in early spring blew through the dreams of the world.

Zhongshanhou's Mansion was also in silence. In a bedroom in a small courtyard in the back house, a candle was shining dimly.

"gentlemen!"

A soft cry suddenly woke up the person next to the pillow.

Lin Shuyue showed panic, quickly shook Pei Yue awake, and shouted worriedly: "Young master, young master!"

Pei Yue sat up suddenly, his chest heaved violently, and his face was covered with beads of sweat.

Lin Shuyue glanced at it by the candlelight, and asked with some distress: "Did the young master have a nightmare?"

Pei Yue closed his eyes slightly, let out a foul breath, and nodded.

Lin Shuyue got out of bed in draped clothes, took a soaked towel from the corner, leaned against the bed and carefully wiped off the sweat on Pei Yue's face, then stretched out her hand, only to find that Pei Yue's chest and back were completely covered. It was cold sweat, as if he just got up from a pool of water.

Lin Shuyue was taken aback. She had been with Pei Yue for so long, and the young master in her impression seemed to be omnipotent. His determination was far beyond comparison. How could he be a nightmare like a child?
Pei Yue let Lin Shuyue wipe his body for himself, and the scene in the dream was very clear and lifelike.

There was only one person in the dream, and that was Mr. Xi, but he was lying on the ground covered in blood, his eyes were tightly closed, and his breath seemed to go loose.

Pei Yue had never seen or even imagined that the husband would appear in front of him in such a posture, so he was extremely nervous and worried, and the situation that Lin Shuyue saw appeared.

Lin Shuyue helped him dry his body, and then found a clean and comfortable undershirt to help him change, and returned to the bed after finishing his work.

Pei Yue lost all sleepiness for a while, and asked softly, "What day is today?"

Lin Shuyue leaned over and snuggled up to him, and said softly, "Today is February [-]th."

Pei Yue calculated in his mind that Zang Fengwei would be back in half a month at most.

Of course he didn't believe that Mr. Xi would have an accident, but the dream was so real that he couldn't wake up for a while.

Lin Shuyue raised her hand to caress Pei Yue's chest, and gently persuaded: "Master, dreams are always reversed, so don't think too much about it."

Pei Yue heaved a sigh of relief, and also felt that his reaction just now was too violent. If it was Ye Qi who was lying next to her right now, she would definitely be laughed at by her for a while.Thinking of this, he smiled slightly, put his arms around Lin Shuyue's soft body, nodded and said: "Okay, go to sleep, I have to do something big tomorrow."

Lin Shuyue blinked and said, "Then I wish the young master every success."

Pei Yue's eyes were bright, he looked up at the roof, and said awe-inspiringly: "After this matter is completed, and when Zang Fengwei comes back, your young master will truly have the strength to stand in the court."
