Chen Palace

Chapter 47 Listening to the Rain
The heavy rain finally poured down like a pour, and the sky was full of dark clouds, which had the taste of "black clouds overwhelm the city and want to destroy it".

Amidst the din of the rain, it seemed that everything had returned to silence. In the entire palace city, only the high-hanging palace lanterns, under the eaves, tried their best to emit a faint light. Leaving the outer cover behind, under the precarious wind and rain, trembling slightly.

As the evening approached, the sky was getting darker and darker. Concubine Qi had just left, and Yuan Qi just copied a few lines from "Zhuangzi", when he heard crisp voices from the corridor.

He knew the identity of the comer almost without careful identification. He closed his eyes, imagining her icy and snowy figure, her clear and elegant demeanor, and couldn't help but be distracted, and gave birth to infinite yearning—she was busy tracing the source of the poison, and the two had already passed away. It was two or three days without seeing each other.

Not seeing each other for a day is like three autumns...

This sentence written by the ancients infatuatedly was originally regarded by him as a "hero with shortness of breath", but he really changed himself, but he still misses it like a kid.

If you don't love lovesickness in your life, you will love it, and you will hurt lovesickness...

He couldn't help pondering, listening to the sound of the rain outside the window, he felt inexplicably melancholy, and couldn't help but smile wryly.

He put down the lake pen in his hand, raised his head, and looked at the beautiful woman in his dream, looking healthy and vigorous, coming in from the outside, gradually approaching——

Her body was slightly wet, and a few locks of black hair were scattered on her forehead, like black jade, embellished with a crystal clear snowy face, those eyes, which were extremely clear, were a little more lustrous and hazy due to the heavy rain, watching quietly, But it seems to want to ingest the soul of a person.

"How did it get wet like this?"

He got up, took the clean silk towel himself, handed it to Chen Lu, and motioned her to wipe it off.

Chen Lu didn't refuse, she adjusted her appearance a little, and said, "Emperor Ji Yixin and her husband-in-law are outside the Longsheng Gate, and I have something urgent to ask to see you."

Yuan Qi was a little puzzled, and said with a smile: "Could it be that Sun Ming finally mustered up the courage to come out and make a drunken golden branch, and my sister-in-law came to complain?"

He imagined this scene in his mind, and couldn't help laughing out loud. There was actually a bit of naughtiness like a teenager in his smile.

Chen Lu had also heard about this Empress Dowager, and they all said that she was resolute and very strong, and some people talked vividly about the anecdote that the son-in-law was afraid of his wife.

Seeing the emperor's mischievous and mysterious expression, she thought it was really funny, and held back her laugh, she said: "The emperor arranges his own sister like this, beware of the emperor's concubine getting drunk and beating the golden dragon!"

After finishing speaking, she was a little surprised—she even started joking?
It seems that, being infected by the young man Yuan Qi's smile, his gloomy heart was also stained with a bright color...

She lowered her head, a little embarrassed, and changed the subject: "You should let them in quickly, although there is a shelter at the Longsheng Gate, after all, it is raining and blowing!"

Yuan Qi was like waking up from a dream, and while laughing, ordered Qin Xi to say: "Please come in, sister and brother-in-law."

He thought of Chen Lu's cold joke, and found it even more amusing, until the Emperor Ji and the son-in-law walked outside the door, he still couldn't restrain it.

Chen Lu glared at him coldly, very annoyed, wishing she could swallow her words back, and could not wait for the two of them to enter, Yuan Qi reluctantly restrained her face and resumed her usual solemn demeanor.

****
"It's so late, what is the important matter for the emperor and the son-in-law to report?"

Di Ji bowed her head and said with a smile: "It's nothing but a big deal, it's just that I haven't come to see the emperor for a long time, and I really feel uneasy."

She looked directly at the emperor with beautiful eyes, and Yuan Qi knew at a glance that she had something urgent to say, so he motioned to the left and right to step back, leaving only Chen Lu behind, and said: "Sister Huang, what do you want to say?"

Empress Yixin took a deep look at Chenlu and knew that she was the emperor's confidant, so she no longer shy away from it, she told what happened today, and said softly: "In my opinion, the second younger brother has indeed worked hard and made great achievements. The rewards are not too much, but there are always some villains who are in a position to instigate them, if King Jing has any delusions, it will actually harm him!"

After Yuan Qi listened quietly, he didn't get angry. He stepped down from the throne, came to Di Ji, personally helped her to the seat, and gave the seat to the son-in-law before sighing deeply: "After all, I still have flesh and blood. fellow countrymen!"

Emperor Yixin heard this sigh, her eyes were red, and she almost shed tears: "I know, the emperor is really in trouble, and a sister can't help you, but the son-in-law is not an outsider, he led the army to garrison the capital, As long as the emperor gives an order, no matter how difficult or dangerous it is, he will always come down to the king's palace."

"Why is it so serious?"

Yuan Qi couldn't help laughing, he looked at Di Ji's slightly anxious expression, and was moved in his heart, and said: "Sister Huang, don't worry, I am in this Jiuzhong Emperor's Palace, but my heart is like a mirror, who is making trouble, who is Weeds on the wall, this time we can recognize them one by one!"

When Di Ji heard what he said, a stone fell from his heart, and Ji Yan smiled and said: "It's also because I'm overthinking, the emperor is a real dragon emperor, his eyes are like a torch, there is still a reason why those treacherous villains can't see through their tricks?"

She turned her head and smiled at the son-in-law, indicating that what she expected was correct, the emperor's temple is like a god, and she has already taken precautions.

Sun Ming returned a doting smile, as if he had thought of something, he got up and said: "Your Majesty, there is one more thing that I want to report to you."

He hesitated for a moment, then said after deliberation: "In the past few days, there have been many rumors among the courtiers and relatives. There are some words that are really insane, deceiving the emperor and committing crimes - I think you have heard of it?"

Diji couldn't help feeling anxious when she heard that he was so straightforward and brought up this taboo topic.

Sun Ming held hands under the table, comforted his wife a little, and then continued: "I really don't believe these wild and bizarre rumors, but seeing the momentum, they are getting more and more intense. I am really worried that if this continues, Public opinion among the people will be unfavorable to the emperor."

He was born as a warrior, and he always speaks directly. After finishing speaking in such a breath, he picked up the teacup and took a big sip.

Yuan Qi heard this, his eyes flashed, and he was not angry and prestige: "The son-in-law is really upright. I have heard the rumors in Beijing... The saint has a saying: Wang De is like the wind, and the people's spirit is like grass. , can be regarded as extensively cultivating moral government, and the common people will not be so confused!"

The young emperor, looking at the heavy rain outside the window, smiled. He looked leisurely, as if the whole world was under his control.

At this time, the wind and rain were rushing, Chen Lu stared at the emperor, but felt that he was proud of his youth, but still calm, knowing this situation, he was well prepared.

She sighed softly, narrowing her eyes slightly, feeling for a moment that the person standing in front of the window was that person who was wronged and ungrateful in her previous life, but was awakened by the sneer on the emperor's brow——

Yuan Xu has always been like a spring breeze, he will not have such an expression...

"Shangyi..."

Yuan Qi called several times before Chen Lu woke up from her contemplation: "What orders does the emperor have?"

Yuan Qi took a closer look, and saw that she seemed unable to adapt to the dark and gloomy sky, her eyes were narrowed like a cat's, and only the clear stream of light flashed through her eyes.

"What's wrong with you, are you so restless?"

he asked with concern.

"Weichen is a little dazed..."

Her voice was a little ethereal, under the roar of the rain, it seemed to come from outside——

"This rain is really uncomfortable..."
