Chapter 52
The queen and all the concubines echoed respectfully, "What the queen mother said is very true."

The feeling of being hugged by everyone is very good, which made Empress Dowager Xu regain her former noble feeling.

The purpose of worshiping the Buddha behind closed palace doors was to avoid some people and things, but it really made her feel bored!
Empress Dowager Xu said again: "The emperor wants to keep his filial piety for the late emperor until the end of the year, so in the spring of next year, shouldn't it be time to consider the matter of drafting?"

The concubines and concubines present were stunned at the same time, with different expressions.

The draft means that a group of fresh beauties will flood into the palace, and for them, concubines who have been neglected and forgotten by the emperor for a long time, it will be like adding insult to injury!

"Nowadays, there are only a few old people in the harem brought by the emperor from the Chen Palace. Among them, only Zhen Ji gave birth to a princess for the emperor." "They" expressed dissatisfaction, "they are getting older, so why not choose some young women to serve in the palace, and to reproduce and give birth to the emperor as soon as possible! Empress, are you right about Aijia? "

All the concubines were disgusted with what the Empress Dowager Xu said again!They are only eighteen or nineteen years old, how come your empress dowager said "older"?All the concubines turned their attention to Empress Si who was being questioned!
The queen has not yet given birth to a son-in-law, so she shouldn't be willing to have a newcomer in the palace, right?
Empress Dowager Xu also looked at Si Luoyun expectantly, thinking: Don't you always say "Yes, Empress Dowager"?Let's see if you answer this sentence this time!If you don't answer, you are not virtuous enough!
When Si Luoyun heard Empress Dowager Xu asking her opinion about the draft, she was actually unwilling in her heart!
If there are more concubines and concubines in the palace, it is inevitable that there will be more fights between some women!She had seen how her mother Zhao controlled her aunt in the mansion, and she didn't want to use those methods...

Duguye showed a serious attitude of listening to Queen Mother Xu's proposal, and when Queen Mother Xu finished speaking and asked the queen, he raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"Mother, I think it's more appropriate to postpone the draft for another year." Dugu Ye said in a respectful tone, "Although I tell the world to observe filial piety for my father and emperor until the end of the year, it's not appropriate to invite a beautiful girl into the palace before one year has passed. It will take one or three years for the subjects to keep their filial piety. If I choose the draft so soon, I will inevitably be criticized by the subjects! Wouldn't it add trouble to those who have always been dissatisfied with my enthronement as emperor? , an excuse for treason?"

Hearing that the emperor vetoed his proposal, Empress Dowager Xu's expression turned ugly!
Empress Dowager Xu endured it, and persuaded her in a earnest tone, "Because the emperor has no children now, some of the courtiers will be disloyal! If..."

"Mother's queen." Dugu Ye interrupted Queen Mother Xu gently, then looked in Si Luoyun's direction, and said with a smile, "After the filial piety period, I will work hard with the queen. I want to come to the vassal king and the subjects. What I am looking forward to is the legitimate son of me and the queen."

"..." Empress Dowager Xu couldn't pretend to be kind any longer, and was turned green with anger by the cheeky emperor!
Si Luoyun, who sat quietly by the side as the empress dowager and the emperor's foil, was hit again innocently, and her face turned red immediately!Can't help but cast a reproachful glance at Dugu Ye!How could he say such frivolous words in front of so many people!
The emperor and empress' eyes expressing affection as if no one else was around, made some people present heartache!
After sitting for a while, Empress Dowager Xu, who failed to achieve her goal, claimed that she was tired and returned to Funing Palace.

After the Laba porridge banquet was over, the emperor drove to the Queen's Feng Palace.

Duguye doesn't stay overnight every time he comes to Feng Palace, he still has to consider Si Luoyun's reputation after all.

During the filial piety period, it was reasonable for the emperor to occasionally stay overnight in the empress's palace. The subjects believed in the empress' self-control, and nothing would happen.But if there are too many times, it will inevitably cause gossip that is not good for the queen!

Tonight, Dugu Ye only came to Feng Palace because he had something to discuss with Si Luoyun.

Chunxiao was still recuperating, and Liao Muer was busy with the New Year's affairs, so Si Luoyun appointed two maids named Xuemei and Luomei to serve her closely.

After serving tea to the emperor and queen, Xuemei and Luomei stood aside.

Seeing that they were two strangers, Dugu Ye waved them out!
When the two maids walked out of the bright room, one of the maids stepped on her skirt and nearly fell down. She blushed and knelt down begging for mercy after a soft "Yah". "Slaves are dull, please forgive me, Your Majesty and Empress!"

Si Luoyun looked at the maid named Luomei and frowned, "You guys go down first."

Luomei stood up and followed Xuemei back out.

Outside the gate of the palace, Xuemei looked coldly at Luomei, who had fair skin, a good figure, and a bit of beauty beside her.

At this time, Luomei's cheeks were slightly red, her eyes were full of affection, she was actually the shy look of a young girl in love.

"Luomei, I advise you not to think or do what you shouldn't do!" Xuemei frowned.

Luo Mei, who was still blushing, was stunned for a moment, then pouted and said indifferently: "Sister Xuemei said, sister can't understand."

"If you don't understand, you know it in your heart!" Seeing Luomei pretending to be stupid, Xuemei felt angry! "Don't drag others into bad luck with you!"

When she was working in other halls before, Luomei would always fight and laugh with some little servants!She even ran against the prince in the Jade Expo Garden... There is no shortage of such court ladies who want to fly up the branches and become phoenix birds in the palace, but there are very few successful ones!How many lives were lost in vain!

Luo Mei bowed her head and said nothing, she didn't take Xuemei's persuasion to heart at all!
In the past, she was just an ordinary court lady, and she didn't even have the chance to serve in the palace!When the emperor came, he could only kneel in the distance and peek at the holy face!

Who wants to be a servant forever?Her appearance is not bad, why can't she seize the opportunity and give it a go?Didn't the late emperor's harem also have several noble masters who climbed up from court ladies?Although she doesn't have a title, she is well-clothed and well-fed, and someone is waiting for her!

Dugu Ye still doesn't know how many rotten peach blossoms he has!

After the two court ladies retreated, Dugu Ye said to Si Luoyun: "Like the kind of clumsy palace maids who do not do good things, arrange to do some sweeping things, just don't get them around to cause trouble. If it doesn't work, let the internal servants Those who can be arranged come in!"

"I have been serving you for a few days, but I didn't find anything bad before." Si Luoyun replied, "They are only temporarily serving by your side. Let them go back to what they were doing."

Duguye just didn't want Si Luoyun to be ignored and treated poorly by the maids like when she was in the Chen Palace!If the Queen had her own arrangements, it would be inconvenient for him to take care of them.

After taking a couple of sips of tea, Duguye thought for a while before saying: "I was attacked in the southern suburbs that day and saved your guards...Does the queen still remember?"

After being reminded by Dugu Ye, that somewhat familiar face appeared in Si Luoyun's mind again.But she just can't remember who it is!
"The concubine heard that the emperor rewarded them with a hundred taels of gold?" Si Luoyun thought that the "remember" that Dugu Ye asked was just remembering what happened that day. "Should the concubine also reward something?"

After all, those guards saved her, so if the queen herself felt uncomfortable, it seemed a little inappropriate.

Duguye raised his eyes to see Si Luoyun's serious appearance, and felt a blockage in his heart again!

"If you want to reward, then reward it!" Dugu Ye placed the tea bowl heavily on the couch table, making a bang!
Having been with Dugu Ye for more than two years, Si Luoyun, who can no longer read his face, has also learned to read his face!

What did you say wrong?Why is the emperor so angry?Shouldn't he steal the emperor's limelight and reward those guards?
Thinking of this, Si Luoyun hurriedly said: "However, the concubine doesn't have that much money in his hands, so I will reward... the guards with 50 taels of silver each." Isn't that enough?
Dugu Ye's slender fingers were still resting on the edge of the tea bowl, when he heard Si Luoyun "cry poor", his fingers tightened!
Huh?His complexion is even worse?Si Luoyun pinched the handkerchief and peeked at Dugu Ye's darkened face, panicking in her heart!

Why hasn't Mu'er come back?If Liao's female official was here, she might have resolved the heavy atmosphere with a few words!
"How about...the concubine should not reward her." Si Luoyun's shoulders slumped, she would not try to figure out the emperor's heart.

He was the one who mentioned those guards, and he didn't ask her to reward them, so why?
Dugu Ye was so angry that he slapped the couch table with his big palm, shaking the tea bowl over, and the tea flowed onto the table!

Si Luoyun stood up in fright, and quickly threw the handkerchief in her hand onto the tea, so as not to drip down and wet Dugu Ye's robe!
Duguye grabbed Si Luoyun's wrist, twisted her arm, twisted her into his arms, and let her sit on his lap!

"Emperor... Your Majesty?" Si Luoyun stared at Dugu Ye's thin lips tightly pursed in anger.

His lips are beautiful!Even when he purses his lips and does not smile on weekdays, the corners of his mouth are slightly upturned.

That day, when he reined in his horse like a god and appeared in front of her and hugged her onto the horse's back, Si Luoyun found that her heart seemed to be jumping out!Not because of fear, not because of the joy of being saved, but a strange, inexplicable emotion!Until she was carried back to his car by Dugu Ye and settled down, her heart kept beating wildly, making her breathing a little difficult!
The woman in her arms looked at herself with blank, innocent eyes, as if she didn't understand why he lost his temper!This is what made Duguye frustrated and angry!

After Nanjiao was assassinated, when he rewarded the bodyguards who saved Queen Si, he took a look at the list Zhao Chenghu submitted, and Fu Yongjue's name was on the list!
Later, Dugu Ye announced that the two guards of that day had an audience, and learned from them that it was Fu Yongjue who leaped into the carriage of his boss, the queen, and grabbed the reins to rein in the horse that was irritable due to the arrow!He also used a knife to cut off the decorations on the burning carriage and kicked the two walls of the carriage, before he rescued Queen Si!It was also Fu Yongjue who summoned the guard brothers who fought against the assassins to protect Queen Si and protect her to join him!

Duguye can picture Fu Yongjue's general appearance in his heart without summoning him!Because the queen was saved that day, the last man who retreated from Queen Si attracted Duguye's attention...

Si Luoyun and Fu Yongjue can be regarded as childhood sweethearts. If Empress Xu hadn't stepped in, she might be Mrs. Fu now!
In his last life, he didn't know about the relationship between Fu Yongjue and Si Luoyun, so he felt "cheated" after knowing it in this life!
Will the last Empress Si treat Fu Yongjue...

Si Luoyun couldn't help being curious as she watched the expressions on Duguye's face and eyes constantly changing.

"What is the emperor thinking?" Si Luoyun couldn't help raising her hand to caress Duguye's thin lips, which were getting tighter and tighter, obsessed with the curved arc.

He thought that there would never be such throbbing again, but when Si Luoyun's soft voice wafted into his ears, Dugu Ye realized what he had missed in his previous life!
"Sister Xuemei, do you think we should go in and serve the emperor and empress?"

Standing at the door of the sleeping hall for about two quarters of an hour, Luomei asked Xuemei who was standing on the other side in a low voice.

Xuemei gave Luomei an angry look and ignored her!
Luomei reluctantly raised her hand to gently lift the thick curtain that blocks the wind...

"What are you doing?" Seeing this, Xuemei yelled at Luomei's Chao Yue in a low voice, "The Emperor and Empress didn't ask us to go in, why are you in a hurry?"
