Chapter 238 Loosening the Plum Garden
For several days in succession, the weather was gloomy and hot, probably heavy rain was coming, this night, there was thunder and lightning again, in the middle of the night, candles in all the palaces were extinguished early, but Fenglin Palace suddenly lit up.

It turned out that the queen was awakened by the night dream, and she couldn't restrain herself, sobbing and crying in the emperor's arms. The crying emperor was helpless and distressed.

"Queen, what's the matter, what did you dream about, why are you crying like this? Don't be afraid, I'm here, no one can hurt you, don't be afraid."

The queen took a few deep breaths, tried to calm herself down, and cried in a low voice: "Your Majesty, this concubine dreamed of Meier."

A word of Meier made the emperor stunned on the spot with a heavy expression on his face. After a long time, he sighed slowly: "The Empress and Meier have a deep affection. It is only natural to dream of her, but it is for no reason. Why did I dream of Meier?"

Speaking of this, the queen raised her eyes to look at the emperor: "The emperor doesn't know something. In fact, the concubines always dream of Meier for a few days at this time every year. They just don't want the emperor to be sad, so they hold back and say nothing." Said, today the concubine lost her temper."

"So that's how it is." The emperor said in a deep voice, "I remember that when Mei'er first entered the palace, it happened to be the beginning of winter, which is now."

"Yeah, it's rare that the emperor still remembers the day when Meier entered the palace. It was the sixteenth day. It was extremely cold and there were many rules in the palace. The emperor happened to come in and saw it, so he offered Meier a cup of hot tea. Meier often told her concubines that at that time, she felt that although the emperor was an emperor, he also had the consideration of ordinary husbands and sons-in-law for their wives and daughters. A good man, so she is willing to entrust her for life."

Hearing this, the emperor's eyes were reddish, his gaze was empty, as if he was lost in memory: "Mei'er entrusted her life to me, but I let her down, I'm sorry for her."

"Your majesty, please don't say that. Meier has never felt that the emperor is sorry for her. Although Meier is a bit childish, she doesn't think so deeply. She is just angry and doesn't understand. It's just that everything came too soon. Suddenly."

The emperor was silent for a long time before he seemed to come back to his senses, looked at the queen, and asked, "Did you dream about Meier?"

The queen chuckled softly: "Meier has liked playing hide-and-seek with my concubine since she was a child. Even if my concubine saw her when she was young, she would pretend that she hadn't seen her, and wait for her to come out by herself, bouncing around." As the empress spoke, tears fell, and the emperor quickly wiped them away for her. She smiled again, signaling that he was fine.

"Look at you, when you talk about Meier, you cry like tears."

"The concubine is fine, the concubine is happy, maybe the flowers in the plum garden are blooming, and the concubine misses Meier so much, especially when she sees Huier, it is even more difficult to extricate herself."

"Dream about plum garden?"

"Well, I dreamed that my concubine and Mei'er were playing hide-and-seek in the plum garden. She was hiding and I went to find her. But this time, I couldn't find her no matter what. I woke up as soon as I got anxious."

"You, you say you are a sister, but you always act like a mother, doting on Mei'er to heaven."

"Does the emperor despise his concubine for getting old?"

"That's not what I mean. Look at me. I'm much older than the queen. The queen doesn't despise me. How could I despise the queen?"

"Nonsense, the emperor is not old."

"Okay, I'm talking nonsense. I'm not old, and the queen is not old. Don't cry anymore. When Meier was here, she was most afraid of your tears, and I was also most afraid."

"Is there anything else you are afraid of, Your Majesty?"

"I am not afraid of the sky, I am not afraid of the earth, but I am afraid that I will betray you. I have already betrayed Meier, and I can't betray you anymore."

"emperor!"

"Okay, I don't want to talk about this, the Queen should tell me what else I dreamed about? Maybe Meier hasn't forgiven me yet. Over the years, the days when I dreamed of Meier are very rare."

The queen snuggled into the emperor's arms and continued: "Mei'er loved the plum garden the most during her lifetime, and the flowers in the plum garden in her dream bloomed very well. ..."

Seeing that her expression was fixed, the emperor also knew that she was thinking of the dream of Meier disappearing, so he comforted him: "When the flowers bloom this year, I will take the queen to the plum garden to enjoy the plum blossoms, and the queen will not be sad anymore."

"The emperor has agreed, so you can't go back on your word."

"Of course I won't regret it."

The queen sat up straight, looked at the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, the plum garden in the dream is full of flowers, it is very beautiful, and Mei Er must also like to see such a beautiful scenery. The concubine heard that if the plum blossoms are in full bloom. If you go to loosen the soil for the plum trees for a while, the plum blossoms will bloom well this year. Thinking about it carefully, this plum garden has never loosened the soil. After this heavy rain, it is better to let someone loosen the plum garden soil, so that this year’s plum blossoms will bloom more beautifully.”

"Okay, the plum garden is left to the queen to take care of. I am very relieved. Let these things be done according to the queen's ideas. If the plum blossoms bloom well, Meier will also be happy. Huier is like Meier, and she also likes plum blossoms. She I'm sure to be happy too."

"That's right, the emperor is still thinking of Hui'er. This child came to greet my concubine today, because he didn't see the emperor, so he was not happy."

"Oh?"

"The emperor comes to have a rest in the afternoon every day. Hui'er specially took advantage of this time to come. However, the emperor is busy with government affairs today and has no time to rest. Naturally, she rushed to nothing." Then, the queen covered her mouth and smiled: "Then With a small mouth, you can hang a teapot on it."

The emperor seemed to be able to imagine Yan Beihui's pouting, and couldn't help laughing loudly: "This little girl is also spoiled by the queen, she has no rules and no distance, in front of the queen, that's not a little bit of etiquette." No."

"What kind of etiquette do you need in front of my mother? The concubine is willing to spoil her. Besides, it's not the concubine who spoiled her alone. The emperor has shifted the responsibility to the concubine."

"Okay, okay, it's all on my head." As he spoke, the emperor said with a smile: "If Hui'er wants to see me in the future, the queen will let her come directly to the imperial study, so the little mouth will pout again. gone."

"How can that be done? The emperor is naturally busy with government affairs in the imperial study, how can Huier come to bother you, but recently, the emperor has really worked hard."

Speaking of this, the emperor frowned: "Recently, Nanban is ready to move. I am busy morning and evening, busy with this matter. The queen also knows that my father does not like war, nor does I advocate war. As his son, Naturally, we must follow the imperial father's will, but I am worried that this battle may be unavoidable."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, there will be a solution. The concubines can't help you with the affairs of the previous court, but the concubines believe in the emperor, and they will definitely turn the crisis into safety."

"I do have an idea, but I still need to think about it. I will go to court tomorrow and discuss it with the ministers."

"Your Majesty, you have to go to court early tomorrow, let's rest." After saying that, the Empress helped the Emperor to lie down, and she also lay down. The candlelight in Fenglin Palace finally went dark.
