Chapter 29 It's Impossible To See The Emperor!

Xiao Qing was relieved when he went to tell the emperor the news of Qin Shuhuang's arrival.

Presumably, as long as the emperor knows that the eldest princess is coming, even if he offends the regent, he will soon fall down.

Xiao Qing returned to the side hall of Qinzheng Hall to accompany Qin Shuhuang.

Who would have thought that this wait would take another hour...

Qin Shuhuang's brows gradually frowned, and Xiao Qing's face also became worried.

Could it be that the emperor was angry with the princess and deliberately delayed the morning court because he did not want to see Her Royal Highness the eldest princess?

Shouldn't it?
Xiao Qing scratched his head anxiously, why the master is not here today, if the master is here, he will be able to know what is going on at the first time.

A young eunuch hurried in and said a few words in Xiao Qing's ear.

Xiao Qing was startled, then nodded, and the young eunuch respectfully withdrew.

Seeing Xiao Qing's troubled face, Qin Shuhuang asked, "The emperor has gone elsewhere? Will you not come to see me for the time being?"

Xiao Qing smiled awkwardly, "There was news just now that the emperor, the regent and other ministers went to have lunch in the side hall of Wende Hall. They said they would continue to discuss politics after lunch."

Qin Shuhuang frowned even more after hearing this sentence.

Since Xiao Qing said that he went to report to the emperor, he must have gone, which means that the emperor knew that she had entered the palace.

The emperor knew she was coming and had dinner with the ministers, was he avoiding her on purpose?
The emperor's brother is still angry with her?

Xiao Qing noticed that Qin Shuhuang's expression was not good, so he immediately smoothed things over and said: "Your Highness, there are important matters in the court today. I'm afraid the emperor will not be able to leave for a while. Since the emperor has already eaten, I will also arrange meals for you. Today Your Highness’s favorite chef, Liu Yuchu, is on duty in the imperial dining room. I will personally go and ask Liu Yuchu to cook some of your favorite dishes.”

How could Qin Shuhuang be in the mood to have a meal? After her father, the emperor, and her mother passed away one after another, she and the emperor's brother supported each other in the palace. The emperor's brother was definitely not the type to hold grudges, especially between siblings.

I'm afraid there's something going on in it or someone is interfering with it.

Xiao Qing was just about to go to the imperial dining room when he was stopped by Qin Shuhuang, "No, I've had some snacks. I'm not hungry now. Since the emperor's brother can't leave for the time being, you can accompany me to Ciyuan Hall." .”

"Yes! Your Highness!"

Soon, Qin Shuhuang arrived at the Ciyuan Hall.

Although the late Queen has been gone for more than ten years, this place is still exactly the same as it was more than ten years ago. Even the flowers, plants and furnishings in the main hall are the same as in Qin Shuhuang's memory, and even the location has not changed.

Ciyuan Hall is full of childhood memories of Qin Shuhuang and his younger brother.

The crib that she and her brother had slept on, the various toys that she had played with, and the small clothes that she had worn when she was a child were all neatly placed in their original locations. They were maintained by dedicated personnel and kept spotless.

Qin Shuhuang stroked these childhood things and became more sure that the emperor's brother was not really angry with her.

What happened today?

After sitting for a while in Ciyuan Hall, Qin Shuhuang didn't stay long. After going to the ancestral hall to offer incense to the late emperor and late empress, Qin Shuhuang said to Xiao Qing who was accompanying him: "I want to visit the emperor's brother's palace. ."

After the first emperor and the first empress were gone, Qin Shuhuang, as the elder sister, took on the responsibility of the elder. Even though Qin Shuhuang was only one year older than her younger brother, she was still like the eldest sister and mother.

When Qin Shuhuang was not married, she often helped her younger brother to take care of the affairs in the bedroom, so it was not too much for Qin Shuhuang to propose to visit the emperor's bedroom at this time.

The emperor has not yet married and does not have a harem. The princess is the emperor's eldest sister and a sibling from the same mother, so there is no inconvenience.

Xiao Qing immediately led Qin Shuhuang to Funing Hall.

Before Qin Shuhuang arrived at Funing Hall, Xiao Dong, who was following Qin Shumin, knew the news.

While going out to exchange tea for the emperor, a little eunuch stuffed a note into the hand of the eldest maid, Weiwei.

Xia Qianwei took the opportunity to check the note, which was the message that Xiao Dong had sent her.

The corners of her mouth raised slightly, the eldest princess wanted to see the Holy Majesty today, I'm afraid it would be impossible!

After Xia Xiwei went out, she called two maids and gave some instructions. The maids left quickly and saw that they were leaving in the direction of Fuling Palace.

Today's court proceedings did not end until one and a half hours in the afternoon. Qin Shumin had lunch in the side hall and discussed solutions during lunch.

The court was controlled by people from Qin Wei's line. Qin Shumin wanted to use his own people, but was blocked by the old ministers using Tai Chi.

Until the end of the court meeting, there was no discussion about military expenditures and river improvement.

The important ministers left one after another from the side hall of Wende Hall.

The morning session started early in the morning and ended in the afternoon. The matter had not yet been resolved. Qin Shumin did not have much power, so he had to deal with these old fox ministers and was restrained by the regent. He had to tighten his heartstrings and use his brain at every turn. Thinking of a way, after such a long day, I am really tired physically and mentally.

Seeing that the important ministers had left, Weiwei brought in a bowl of red date and lotus seed soup and gently placed it on Qin Shumin's desk. She said gently in a low voice: "Your Majesty, have a bowl of lotus seed soup and rest. There are so many government affairs, how can you finish them all in one moment?" ."

Qin Shumin rubbed his forehead, and there was a faint fragrance from the lotus seed soup. During lunch, he had been thinking about how to deal with these old foxes. He didn't eat a few mouthfuls, but he was really hungry now.

Qin Shumin picked up the lotus seed soup and drank it in two or three sips.

The sweet lotus seed soup, with the unique fragrance of lotus seeds and red dates, calmed his depressed mood a lot.

Maybe he had been nervous before, but he suddenly relaxed, drank the sweet soup again, and suddenly felt sleepy.

Qin Shumin lives a regular life. When he got up, he was about to drive back to Funing Hall for a lunch break. Just as he was about to call someone, Weiwei smiled and comforted her, "I see that the emperor is very tired. It will take a quarter of an hour to return to Funing Hall. It's not as good as today." The emperor is taking a nap in the Qinzheng Palace?" After saying that, Weiwei glanced at the pile of memorials on the imperial desk as if inadvertently.

Qin Shumin couldn't help but yawned a lot, thinking about it, he waved his hand, "Arrange for me."

Weiwei immediately ordered the palace staff to decorate a main room behind the Palace of Qinzheng.

Qin Shumin rested in the Hall of Qinzheng.

Accompanied by Xiao Qing, Qin Shuhuang went outside the Palace of Funing.

Qin Shuhuang knew that his younger brother had developed the habit of taking a lunch break over the years. As long as he was free, he would definitely go back to the palace to take a nap for half an hour.

It's almost time now.

Qin Shuhuang asked Xiao Qing beside him, "Is the emperor still taking a lunch break recently?"

Xiao Qing said with a smile: "Thanks to your highness still thinking about the emperor, the emperor has not changed his habit, he has to come back and sleep for a while at this time every day, sometimes it takes half an hour, sometimes it takes two quarters of an hour."

Qin Shuhuang nodded and walked towards Funing Hall.

As soon as he reached the gate of Funing Hall, Qin Shuhuang was about to enter Funing Hall when two eunuchs guarding the gate suddenly reached out to stop Qin Shuhuang.

"Your Highness, the eldest princess, stay!"

Qin Shuhuang paused, looking at the two eunuchs standing in front of her with cold eyes.

Xiao Qing couldn't help but asked: "Bold! What are you doing!"
