The world is heavy and late

Chapter 150 Returning to the Palace
Xia Qing's drinking capacity is really good, because not only did she not get drunk after drinking half the night, but she was also very energetic in the morning.

But Qiao Huan accidentally caught a cold, and it took a few days for her to improve.

When Xia Qing came to see Qiao Huan, seeing that Qiao Huan was almost recovered, she breathed a sigh of relief and said to Qiao Huan, "Thank God, if something really happens to you, I can beat Xiang Cang and myself to death. "

The father-in-law next to him coughed twice in embarrassment.

Xia Qing turned her head to stare at him and said, "You spent so much time in the room that day, you had to cover Qiao Huan with a blanket anyway, and when you left, why didn't you tell me if you thought it was inconvenient."

After speaking, he turned his head and said to Qiao Huan: "You don't know, when I went back in the middle of the night, I saw you lying on the couch like that, and my hands were cold when I touched you, which shocked me a lot."

Qiao Huan's spirit has recovered most of it. She looked at Xia Qing at first, but after all she was not used to looking at people, she turned her face slightly and lowered her head and said, "It's really nothing, but I've been prone to cold since childhood."

Xia Qing sighed and said: "Fortunately, you are almost well now. Xu Li sent someone to tell me. Your Majesty is going to return to Beijing in the next few days. If you are not well, you will be able to take care of yourself if you are seriously ill and the road is bumpy. You go with half your life."

Eunuch Xiang followed up and said: "Yes, Madam also asked Miscellaneous Family to tell aunt that the heat is over and it would be much more convenient to go back to the palace."

When Xia Qing heard Xiang Cang speak, he turned his head and gave Xiang Cang another look.

Xiang Cang lowered his head with a guilty conscience, he never thought about covering Qiao Huan with a quilt.

After Xia Qing finished watching Qiao Huan, she went to Gu Weiyun's place. When she arrived, Gu Weiyun was practicing calligraphy. She stretched her head to look and said, "Your handwriting has become stronger and stronger. Your majesty taught it."

Gu Weiyun smiled lightly, instead of answering her words, he said: "You have put away all your things, and you will be returning to the palace tomorrow."

Xia Qing sighed and said: "Although the rules are strict where His Majesty is, the Daming Palace is still different from the Imperial Palace. I still feel reluctant to go back now."

Gu Weiyun didn't stop writing and said: "You used to persuade me that if you are depressed on weekdays, just think about the result, why are you still sighing today?"

Xia Qing looked at the immersed and gentle Gu Weiyun and said, "Complaints should be finished in advance, and I'm afraid I won't be able to say a word after returning to the palace."

Gu Weiyun put down his pen and said, "Then let me tell you some good news."

Xia Qing looked at Gu Weiyun and saw the light in her eyes. She raised her eyebrows and said, "Grandpa Xu is going to come back?"

Gu Weiyun: ...how did you guess it all at once?

Gu Weiyun's expression was too obvious, and Xia Qing understood what she was thinking at a glance, so she said: "There are only a few good news that can be told to me, if it's not yours, it's Eunuch Xu's, and the good news for Eunuch Xu is naturally Back to Beijing, what about you..."

Speaking of this, Xia Qing looked at Gu Weiyun narrowly and said, "Could it be another one?"

Gu Weiyun and Xia Qing had been together for so long, and she understood Xia Qing's appearance immediately. She felt that her worries about Xia Qing were all in vain.

She rolled Xia Qing's eyes and said, "Yes, I asked His Majesty yesterday, and His Majesty said that the paperwork written by Xu Zhongshang a few days ago said that the matter is almost done."

After she finished speaking, she was a little surprised and hesitated and said: "But I don't know why, His Majesty was a little worried after speaking, and asked me after a while, how about recalling King An to Beijing in advance?"

After she finished speaking, she looked at Xia Qing, but Xia Qing understood, but she didn't think that the emperor was paying attention, so she lowered her eyelids and said, "How did you answer?"

Gu Weiyun looked at Xia Qing's appearance, and pondered for a while. She had a feeling of being questioned by her master at home, and she said: "I heard His Majesty talk about Mr. Xu, and then about King An. I want to discuss this matter with the two of you." Related, I asked His Majesty if King An also contributed to Lord Xu's matter?"

After speaking, he stopped and looked at Xia Qing, Xia Qing smiled slightly, picked up the tea ceremony that the little palace maid had just given her: "I guess so, and she also contributed a lot."

Gu Weiyun just laughed, she put down the pen in her hand and said: "So I think it's better to take advantage of His Majesty's full birthday in October and call him back to Beijing. This birthday banquet should be a big one."

Xia Qing said: "It seems that I want to thank you this time."

Gu Weiyun thought for a moment and said, "Could it be that King An's entry to the capital is also good for Mr. Xu?"

Xia Qing glanced at her appreciatively, Gu Weiyun thought for a while and said, "Why?"

Xia Qing put down his teacup and sighed, "Because Eunuch Xu's journey back will not be peaceful. If King An goes to Beijing at this time, he can go on the same journey with Eunuch, and there will be more manpower."

Gu Weiyun was a little surprised and said: "Why? I knew the danger when Mr. Xu went, why would it be the same when he came back? Besides, it is likely that no one will take action with His Majesty's thunderous tactics a while ago."

Xia Qing said, "It's because of that method."

She knows what Gu Weiyun thinks, and this is also what most people think. Loyalty to the emperor is something engraved in their minds, and the emperor is even more powerful, but she knows that not everyone thinks that way.

She said: "Some people can stop at this point, but some people can't. The involvement is too deep, and the aristocratic family and the emperor have never been punched and kicked by you. The last time His Majesty demoted so many people, the aristocratic family must be angry of."

"Besides, the father-in-law will definitely steal some people's limelight when he comes back this time, and what he has done will definitely hinder some people's eyes. Most of them want to see him disappear for no apparent reason."

Gu Weiyun nodded and said, "Is that why you are worried?"

Xia Qing sighed, did not say this, but continued: "I heard from a friend in the past that the forces in Yizhou are deeply rooted. If Eunuch Xu wants to accomplish this, King An must have put in a lot of effort. Your Majesty may also I want to show the emperor's kindness and win people's hearts. After all, some time ago, His Majesty demoted many people. I am afraid that some people were panicked. This move is to tell everyone that as long as they are used by him, fame and wealth are at their fingertips, so they called King An to the capital in advance. Anyway, the New Year’s Day is only two or three months away.”

Gu Weiyun completely understood now, and she was also a little worried about Xu Zhong, but she saw that Xia Qing didn't say this, so she didn't mention it, but before she finished thinking, Xia Qing spoke again.

She said: "There is one more thing, I have thought about it for a long time, probably His Majesty can't wait any longer."

Gu Weiyun didn't understand why this matter was not over yet, she said: "What?"

Xia Qing thought about the news he had heard in the past few days and said, "Do you know that His Majesty is checking the accounts of the account department recently?"

Gu Weiyun nodded, Xiang Cang was in Weiyang Palace, there was always news about them inside and out.

Xia Qing said: "You said that there will be no war, and there will be no major disasters. What is your majesty trying to do by liquidating the household department and reorganizing the treasury?"

Gu Weiyun felt a little enlightened in her heart, and she said: "But the official school?"

Xia Qing nodded, and she said: "I guess so. Yizhou is rich and has a large population, and the style of private schools is not as prosperous as that of other places in the south of the Yangtze River. It is a good place to establish the first official school. If King An and the emperor stand together at this time , this place is even better.”

After listening to Xia Qing's words, Gu Weiyun asked, "Does your Majesty's question have so many meanings?"

Xia Qing said: "I'm guessing, but I think it's almost the same, and it even has more meaning than I thought. Your Majesty is a wise king."

After Xia Qing finished speaking, she looked at Gu Weiyun who was engrossed in her thoughts and said, "What do you think of us?"

Gu Weiyun woke up suddenly, thought for a while, then looked at Xia Qing with a smile and said, "Didn't you say that? The pace of going to the harem should be consistent."

Xia Qing once again marveled at Gu Weiyun's intelligence in her heart, she was only limited by the morals of the world and her age.

On the face, he sighed with a fake face and said: "Oh, it really is called husband singing and wife following."

Gu Weiyun doesn't care about Xia Qing's teasing words now, she is a little helpless, Xia Qing can always make people feel that her vision is broad at one moment, but at the next moment it makes you feel that what you just thought was wrong.

She said: "Hurry up and pack your things. According to what you said, we have a lot of things to do after returning to the palace. Don't forget, there is still Mrs. Cui in the palace."

Xia Qing: ...Oops, the past few months have been so comfortable that I almost forgot about it.

Xia Qing still lit the oil lamp to pack her things at night. She didn't know why she had so many odds and ends in only four months.

After she finished tidying up, she lay on the bed and sighed deeply, feeling that she was completely spoiled by Qiao Huan, and tidying up was really difficult.

But the next morning, Xia Qing got up early, because she wanted to watch the people in Gu Weiyun's palace. Although Xia Qing would not be by Gu Weiyun's side every day, the aunt in charge still had to be there of.

Moreover, she had to send the emperor back to the palace with other people, and wait for the emperor, Gu Weiyun and others to get on the sedan chair before she could return to her carriage with those ministers.

Xia Qing, who finally got into the carriage after tossing all morning, said he had nothing to say.
