Emperor's Lazy Queen

Chapter 44

"Miss!" Qingzhu stamped her feet with a blushing face, turned her head and left, muttering, "I'll go see if the supper is ready!"

"Haha, I'm so shy!" Du Xiaoyue laughed even more happily, and after some nonsense, she felt much more at ease, and her troubles seemed to have disappeared a lot.

"Your Majesty, servant girl!" When the red silk came out of Du Xiaoyue's room, she raised her eyes and saw Tan Wenhao standing outside the door, followed by Eunuch Liu.Shocked, he also greeted him respectfully.

"Your lady is asleep?" It's only a quarter of the hour, and the lights in the room have been turned off, guessing that the owner of the room is also asleep!But Tan Wenhao still asked a question knowingly.

"Yes!" Hongsi lowered her head and replied, Du Xiaoyue had already fallen asleep, and she never remembered to put out the candles before going to bed, so Hongsi had to go back after Du Xiaoyue went to bed every night to extinguish the candles.

"Get up!" Tan Wenhao said lightly, turned around at the same time, and said to Eunuch Liu, "Go back to Qianqing Palace."

"Your majesty, you..." Eunuch Liu hesitated. Tonight, the emperor was going to Yachun Pavilion after finishing the approval of papers, but he was halfway to Zhaoyang Palace.Eunuch Liu didn't know what Tan Wenhao was thinking, he had already passed down an order to go to Yachun Pavilion tonight, but now, he was going back to Qianqing Palace.

Originally, I was going to Yachun Pavilion tonight, but I wanted to see Du Xiaoyue in my mind. After driving halfway, I turned back to Zhaoyang Palace.Thinking about when she was in Taixuan Palace today, she still said that she would welcome herself to Zhaoyang Palace tonight, but in the end, she went to see Duke Zhou first. "What? Eunuch Liu has something to say to me?"

"Slave has nothing to report!" Eunuch Liu bowed slightly and replied respectfully.In the past few nights, the emperor would always visit Zhaoyang Palace, but he never came in to look for the queen.This is also the first time that Eunuch Liu has seen the emperor have such a weird behavior. He obviously wanted to see someone, but he didn't need to summon her again by imperial decree; leave peacefully.

Tan Wenhao glanced at the dark room again, turned around and left, a feeling of depression arose in his heart, and at the same time he didn't understand why he wanted to see her from time to time in his mind!But for her, she eats and sleeps well every day, and even going to Xingyun Pavilion today looks like nothing to do with her!Didn't she say that she wants to help her manage the harem?But she doesn't seem to care about everything she sees, so how is she going to manage the harem?

"Farewell to the emperor!" Hong Si knelt down again, complaining in her heart that Du Xiaoyue went to bed too early, she used to go to bed when she was in her twilight, why did she go to bed so early tonight? !The emperor finally came to Zhaoyang Palace once, but he just missed it!Now there are two concubines in the harem who have dragon species. For the young lady, this should be regarded as another crisis-Du Xiaoyue was not favored by the emperor in the first place, and she has no children to be another bargaining chip. After the noble concubine gives birth to the prince, it is afraid that it will be true as the palace people in the harem have said: Miss's position will eventually be lost.

"Please wait a moment! I have something to tell you!" With a creak, the door opened, and through the streetlights carried by the palace people, one could clearly see Du Xiaoyue in a middle coat standing by the doorframe with loose hair.

"Miss! You... you're awake!" Hongsi couldn't help exclaiming, you know, Miss sleeps very well, and it's usually difficult to wake up after a deep sleep.

"En!" Du Xiaoyue nodded slightly, and did not explain that she was not asleep at all, but was just closing her eyes and resting her mind, "Red silk, light up the lamp! If Qingzhu falls asleep, there is no need to call her to serve you." After giving orders to Hongsi, Du Xiaoyue stepped out of the threshold, greeted Tan Wenhao lightly, and said softly, "The concubine welcomes the holy frame."

Tan Wenhao was frightened by Du Xiaoyue's sudden appearance. If one looked at it from a distance, it would appear to be a female ghost floating in the dark sky, but the faint fragrance wafting from her body definitely could not be a "female ghost" 'Everything on her body; and the tone of respect that she would only respect to herself in front of outsiders is enough to prove her real existence. "Excuse me!" Tan Wenhao even wanted to reach out to help her up, he waved his hand, and finally entered the house with his back behind his back and his sleeves, "It's cold tonight, I don't want to be outside with her You talk."

Well, it's really cold this day. I just came out for a short while, and my whole body started to shiver. I thought it would rain as soon as it got dark, but it turned out that the night was almost over, and there were not even raindrops. See, the temperature has dropped by five or six degrees!

Following closely behind Tan Wenhao, he entered the room, while the other palace people retreated consciously, giving space to the emperor and the queen.

Entering the room, Tan Wenhao sat carelessly on the red sandalwood hollow chair, leaning his hands on the desk, half-supporting his chin, staring straight at Du Xiaoyue, waiting for her to speak.

"Uh...that's how it is. I want to ask you, do you know that the queen mother agreed to hand over the real power of the harem to me?" Du Xiaoyue decided that it would be better to go straight to the point. The question of "have you eaten?" It's better not to ask, "This...is this what you mentioned to the Queen Mother?"

This is one of the problems that troubled Du Xiaoyue. Today, the queen mother suddenly said that she would hand over the power of the harem to herself. At the same time, she also said that she would not live long without explaining the reason. This made Du Xiaoyue feel that everything was too inexplicable.

"Really?!" Tan Wenhao raised his eyebrows and asked softly, and then looked at Du Xiaoyue with a sense of enlightenment, "I have never mentioned the agreement between you and me to the queen mother, and I have not yet asked the queen mother to hand over the phoenix seal of the harem to me. come out."

Oh? !If it is true what Tan Wenhao said, that is to say, all of this was voluntarily given by the queen mother, it can also be said that even if she has not reached any agreement with Tan Wenhao, she will hand over the power of the harem to Own? !Why was she so sure that she would agree to her request? !

Slowly sat down on the couch, and tried to ask softly: "Then you...do you know why the Queen Mother would do this?"

Why do you do this? !Tan Wenhao's eyes sank slightly, and he remembered what the queen mother loved to say on weekdays: "My son, if the queen is not a member of the Du family, the Ai family really wants to hand over this phoenix seal to her!" He didn't understand what the queen mother said, because he really didn't understand, with Du Xiaoyue's timid personality, why the queen mother always favored her very much.But after reaching an agreement with her, Tan Wenhao finally knew why the queen mother said that.However, unexpectedly, the Queen Mother finally handed over Feng Quan to what she thought was the Du family. "The queen mother always has her considerations. In short, I didn't know about this matter beforehand." Tan Wenhao decided to hide something, lightly raised the corners of his eyes, and said with a smile, "Maybe your trick of evading and pretending to be stupid has long been rejected. The queen mother saw through."

well!It seems that ginger is still old and spicy!On weekdays, I often think that the empress dowager, who can have the last laugh in the palace, must be a powerful character, but I don't want her to be observing me when I am observing her!

"It doesn't matter anymore!" Du Xiaoyue straightened her clothes, the wind at night was really cool, "By the way, what's going on in the court these few days?" After thinking about it, she decided to ask about the affairs in the court You know, the struggle between the court and the central government will directly affect the fire in the harem!But he was afraid that Tan Wenhao would think that he really wanted to interfere in the government, so he added a sentence later, "I can talk about the use of separation of powers and checks and balances based on current events tonight."

Looking at the faint black shadows under Du Xiaoyue's eye circles, she remembered that when she was in Xingyun Pavilion today, she always covered her face and yawned quietly. She must be tired.It's just, what is she doing to make her tired? ! "I'm tired today, let's discuss it together at Nuanxin Pavilion another day!"

"Oh! Good!" People have already used the identity of the emperor to speak, what else can I say?But, what to do now?I was sleeping and recuperating, but when I heard him coming, I thought about it, and decided to talk to him tonight, so that we can have a tacit understanding in the future cooperation. Unexpectedly, the plan is worse than changing. I am tired, and I have nothing to do. up. "Then please go back to Qianqing Palace to rest early!" Du Xiaoyue didn't think about letting him stay here tonight. It means that now I have to make my bed, and I have to sleep on the couch again tonight.

The host issued an order to evict the guests. As long as they are interested guests, they will know that it is time to leave now.But if this guest is the current emperor, no host would say such a sentence like Du Xiaoyue! "I'm going to stay in Zhaoyang Palace tonight. This afternoon, the queen won't allow my mother to discuss the question of the queen's dream of the sun." Tan Wenhao suddenly smiled, a little coquettish, a little flashy, but Du Xiaoyue could see the calculation in his eyes. Be clear!

Discuss you bastard!Du Xiaoyue cursed secretly in her heart, rolled her eyes to Tan Wenhao after a few glances: "Do you believe in lies?!"

"You dare to lie to the Queen Mother, you are quite courageous!" Although he was blindsided, his smile did not diminish,
"It's not the first time I've lied to her!" This sentence is true. Every time I chat with the Queen Mother, nine out of ten topics are nonsense.Besides, it's a little lie, as long as it doesn't hurt others, why not? "If you are too timid, how dare you sign a contract?"

"That's right!" Tan Wenhao nodded. She was probably the No. 1 person who dared to negotiate with the emperor. "But, what does this have to do with discussing the queen's dream?"

Uh...why is this guy so hard to deal with?How good it is to stick to one question and follow your own words!In that way, he can be smoothly coaxed back to his own bedroom or the bedroom of other concubines.

"It doesn't matter! It doesn't matter at all!" Du Xiaoyue stood up resentfully, and walked straight to the big bed that she loved very much, "If you insist on staying, you sleep on the couch!" No matter what happened, she still fell asleep on the bed Comfortable!
