Traveling through the harem: the favorite concubine

Chapter 48

"Your Majesty, you've finally made it through!"

The people of Palace Liu couldn't hide the sadness and joy in their hearts. If the crown princess became the queen, then she would be the queen's nanny and the most powerful palace maid in the harem.

"Yes..." Chen Yuanxiang was lying on the chair, unable to hide the smile on his face, and his heart was full of clear sky.

She suppressed her excitement and lay quietly for a while, then she suddenly seemed to have thought of something and said to Nanny Liu: "Nurse, let's pack up quickly, let's move to Jiaofang Palace!" She stood up suddenly from the chair, feeling like The urge to wait.

"Okay, let the servants clean up, and we will move when the emperor orders."

Liu Gongren nodded again and again when he heard the words, and was about to go down to give orders.

Suddenly, Lan Zhen came in from the outside.

Chen Yuanxiang glanced at Lan Zhen delicately, but said nothing.

As if she didn't realize it, Lan Zhen knelt down with ease, saluted Chen Yuanxiang respectfully, and said, "Master, the empress is here to welcome you!"

Chen Yuanxiang was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and subconsciously frowned.After a while, she smiled arrogantly: "What does the queen mother want from me?"

She glanced at Lan Zhen with a bit of disgust in her eyes, disdainful in her heart, it's at this point, you still have to be sincere to your master.

Lan Zhen lowered her head and said softly: "The empress has something to discuss with the master."

"If the queen mother has something to do, let's talk about it tomorrow. I haven't seen the emperor for a long time, and I want to catch up with the emperor first."

Lan Zhen was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that the emperor Chen Yuanxiang was talking about was naturally the former His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Chen Yuanxiang held it proudly, suddenly seemed to think of something, and said to Lan Zhen: "Mother, can I no longer be called Empress Empress?"

The prince has become the emperor, how can her aunt be the queen!

Lan Zhen lowered her head and did not speak, watching Chen Yuanxiang's embroidered shoes pass by her.

After listening to Chen Yuanxiang's words, Liu Gongren frowned slightly, but did not speak. When she accompanied Chen Yuanxiang back into the room, she cautiously said: "Your Majesty, it is not very good for you to reject the Empress Dowager like this." !"

"What's wrong." Chen Yuanxiang's mind was still immersed in the joy of becoming a queen, so of course he had no time to think about other things.

"This... the empress is always the prince's biological mother. Even if she is no longer the empress, she will still be the empress dowager."

Although the queen is the mother of the country and the most honorable woman in the world, this court attaches great importance to filial piety. Even if the queen mother is not in power, the queen mother must respect her.

Chen Yuanxiang blinked, but laughed, and said to Liu Gongren: "Nurse, even if my aunt becomes the empress dowager, no matter how old she is, can she still be older than the emperor! Go to the dining room and help me find out what I can do." The soup that nourishes the body, I will send it to the emperor!"

She didn't want to look at her aunt's face!Her husband is now the most honorable man in the world, so why doesn't she try to please her husband, but endure her aunt's ambiguity!
"But……"

Liu Gongren was a little hesitant, but seeing that Chen Yuanxiang was smiling, but his face was full of stubbornness, obviously he couldn't listen to anything at this time.

As soon as Zhao Qingze returned to the Chaoyang Palace, a eunuch came up to report: "Your Majesty, Prince Rong just wanted to hang himself and was rescued."

"Hang yourself?"

Hearing this, Zhao Qingze twitched a mocking arc, looked towards the direction where Prince Rong and the others were being imprisoned, and said, "They're all people with a broken leg, yet they're so restless."

"Since Zhao Qingli wants to die, don't stop him. Just tell him that if he dies, I will tell the world that he hanged himself in fear of sin." Man, now he still has to cause trouble.

There was a bit of gloom in his tone: "It's the same with other people, you just watch them, if you want to die, you will fulfill them!"

Zhao Qingze didn't believe that this group of people who bleed the same blood as him would easily say that they were all idiots with wolfish ambitions!

"Yes!"

The replying Tai listened to the impatience in Zhao Qingze's tone, couldn't help shrinking his neck, and quickly agreed.This is the emperor who seeks to usurp the throne and is definitely not as harmless as he looks.

"Your Majesty, the Supreme Emperor has woken up!"

Just as he was speaking, an eunuch came from the side hall and reported to Zhao Qingze.

"Wake up so soon?"

A mysterious light flashed in Zhao Qingze's eyes, but he smiled, "Since Father is awake, I, as a son, naturally have to go and see!"

He took a step forward and walked towards the side hall where the Supreme Emperor is now housed.

Although it is a side hall of the Chaoyang Hall, the layout is not really good.Walking in in broad daylight, there is no light in the room, only a few arm-thick candles emitting dim light, and the room exudes a depressing smell of medicine, which is gloomy.

Zhao Qingze looked normal, and slowly walked to the bedside in the inner room.

Lying on the bed was an old man who looked much older. He stared at Zhao Qingze who was walking over with anger in his eyes. Because of the binding of the iron chain, he couldn't move at once.

"Father, don't move, or you will be the one who suffers!" Zhao Qingze reminded with kindness.

Facing the angry gaze of the Supreme Emperor, he laughed, sat down on the head of the bed, and said softly and softly: "Father, why don't you save me some trouble! It would be great if you were paralyzed and disabled. You don't need someone to trap you like this, look, how ugly it is!"

He smiled and fiddled with the iron chain, seeing the Taishang Huang glaring at him even more angrily, his heart felt relieved, and the smile on his face deepened!

"Father wants to talk to me, right? That's fine, let me get you to take the things out of your mouth, anyway, father will have to drink medicine later."

Zhao Qingze stood up, and the eunuch beside him immediately stepped forward to remove the cloth strip from the Supreme Emperor's mouth.

As soon as the cloth strip was taken away, the Supreme Emperor took a deep breath, and angrily scolded Zhao Qingze: "Nie Zi, an unfaithful, unrighteous and unfilial traitor, I gave birth to you back then, why didn't I let anyone take care of you?" You're drowning..."

The Supreme Emperor was full of arrogance, and his roaring voice echoed in the not-so-large side hall, which also made the eunuchs, palace men and imperial physicians who were standing on the sidelines bow their heads.

Zhao Qingze smiled and sat on the edge of the table, allowing the Supreme Emperor to scold him in various ways, and took a sip of the tea offered by the palace servants.

I don't know how long it took, when the Taishang Emperor scolded him so dry and tired that he couldn't speak, Zhao Qingze put down the teacup with a smile, and walked to the bedside again, with a gentle smile on his face: "Father, this is the end of scolding. I thought my father could scold me even longer!"

"Nobody...nobody will recognize you!" Taishanghuang panted heavily, closed his eyes and said to Zhao Qingze.

Zhao Qingze's smile did not change, he nodded, and kindly took the teacup and asked, "Father, do you want a dry mouth and a drink of water?"

"you……"

"But I'm going to drink the medicine soon, Father, don't worry." He handed the teacup to the eunuch standing behind him, and said with a smile: "During this time, why don't I come and chat with Father. "

"Rebel!"

The smile on Zhao Qingze's face deepened, and he said softly: "Father, feel free to scold me, the title 'Nizi' is really pleasant to hear from Father."

"You...how did you become like this?"

There seemed to be endless disappointment in the eyes of the Supreme Emperor, but Zhao Qingze nodded again, and said with satisfaction: "The topic of the father is a good one, and the son is still thinking, what can we talk about with the father? Then talk about it." How could my son become like this!"

"Speaking of which, I would like to thank my father for imprisoning my son. If my father did not imprison my son, I might want to wait a little longer. After waiting for more than ten or twenty years, my son is also very patient. But, Father, why do you imprison this minister even though you know he is innocent? It is just because you think that this minister is not listening to you enough, and you want to destroy his prestige. Why do you say you are doing this? You must be forced to take your seat to be happy!"

Zhao Qingze smiled and said slowly, the matter of usurping the throne seemed so calm in his mouth, as if it was just a son who had a conflict with his father and had a quarrel.

"I'm afraid you already have the intention of treason!"

The Taishanghuang stared, but he was rarely calm, but he said this sentence viciously.

Zhao Qingze nodded with a smile: "Father, it's really rare to be smart once. In fact, my son is not as smart as your father! I used to think that my son was the prince, and whenever my father wanted to pass on the throne to my son, my son would not be as smart as you." You should wait. Even if the father does not pass the throne to the son, the son should also thank the father for his long grace, but why do you want to abuse the son, so that the son feels that he has to rebel!"

He paused, and the expression on his face seemed to be recalling: "Didn't the father say that the son will not be recognized? There, the minister will tell you about these things, the father."

"Huang Wenren, 18 years ago, the scholar and the number one scholar counted by the father. Now, the minister of the Ministry of Rites and the most important minister of the father, three months ago, he started preparations for the enthronement ceremony for me. Lu Kang, four The concubine son of a military general, was only a small bodyguard 15 years ago, but accidentally saved his father in the paddock, since then he has been favored continuously, until today he is the most favored subject of the father, leading the minister of the bodyguard..."

"shut up!"

The overlord had bulging veins on his forehead, clenched his fists, struggling to get up.

"Father, don't get excited. If you don't like to hear these things, my son will talk about something else!"

Zhao Qingze smiled mockingly, and said softly: "Of course, I don't have that much ability to win over everyone. However, I have also collected evidence of some people's crimes. Can they be obediently dragged by me?" Are you walking with your nose? I have to say, the shadow guards left by Grandpa Huang to Father Huang are really useful!"

"you……"

The Taishang Huang opened his mouth wide and barely sucked in air, his ugly appearance made Zhao Qingze turn his back in disgust.

"Chatting with Emperor Father is really boring. My son-in-law said so little, and Emperor Father has become like this!" Zhao Qingze said to the imperial physician beside him: "Is Father's medicine ready? I haven't delivered it yet."

"The minister has already been fried."

The imperial doctor knelt down tremblingly and saluted.

"Then serve your father with medicine!" Zhao Qingze turned his head with a smile, looked at the emperor, and said softly: "Father, you see, my minister cares about you, and I am afraid that you will be uncomfortable if you are trapped by iron chains. After you prescribed the medicine, your hands and feet will slowly lose any sensation, and by then, you won’t suffer any more!”

"You... you pervert!"

"Isn't the father only scolding his sons and ministers for rebellious sons?"

"You will be condemned by the heavens, so what if you become the emperor, you cut off your sons and grandsons, you have no heirs, you become the emperor, and you still have no heirs in the future!"

The Supreme Emperor roared, a strange smile appeared on his face, and he looked at Zhao Qingze proudly.

Hearing this, Zhao Qingze suddenly laughed, reached out his hand to stop the little eunuch who was holding the medicine, and walked up to the Supreme Emperor: "If Father didn't remind me, I would have forgotten to tell Father! A month ago, there was an extra grandson. He is my son, very healthy and smart. Of course, he will be much luckier than me. I will personally train and educate him. When he can be alone, I will give way to him , I am not so greedy for this position like my father."

He had a soft expression on his face and described in a soft tone.

"It's impossible for you to lie to me!" The Supreme Emperor shook his head with a look of disbelief.

"Father, if you don't believe me, when I bring Aman in, I'll take him to have a look with Father. But, I hope that at that time, Father's mind will still be clear."

"Father, don't let me down, but try to stay awake."

Zhao Qingze meant something, and the eunuch behind him walked up to the Supreme Emperor with the medicine.

"This medicine is the filial piety of my son, and my father has to drink it up. It is also my son's thanks to my father for this birthday, and I called back the important officials from all over the world, which is convenient for my son's enthronement ceremony."

After Zhao Qingze finished speaking the last sentence, he walked out of the side hall.Outside the dim side hall, there are blue sky and white sun, like two worlds.He looked up at the bright sun overhead and closed his eyes.

The little eunuch in the Chaoyang Hall walked up to Zhao Qingze, and replied softly: "Your Majesty, just now the Crown Princess and Concubine came here to forcefully send soup to His Majesty."

"Chen Yuanxiang..."

A layer of disgust appeared on Zhao Qingze's face, and he said the name in a cold tone.Although the little eunuch didn't say much, just thinking about it, he could think of Chen Yuanxiang's arrogant behavior just now.

Seeing this, the little eunuch hurriedly said again: "The servant persuaded him to go back according to His Majesty's instructions. Will Your Majesty confine the Crown Princess to the East Palace?"

The little eunuch said something that was almost offensive, but there was no trace of anxiety on his face.

However, a strange smile appeared on Zhao Qingze's face: "There's no need to ground your feet, let's see what she can do. Just send someone to watch over her, and don't let the troubles cause embarrassment to the court."

"Right now, the most important thing is my enthronement ceremony."

After the enthronement ceremony, everything begins.
