Pampered Into Being The Empress - Chapter 85

As soon as the voice of the **** was heard, the concubines and maids of the Jiaofang Palace and the maids lifted their spirits. Rong Xi took the lead to get up from the main seat and respectfully bowed to Mu Huai.

Although the concubines were of high seniority, they were still different from the emperor, so they had to curtsey to Mu Huai according to the rules.

Mu Huai’s eyebrows are sharp, his eyes are sharp and catching, and his voice is cold and destined: “Get up all the time.”

Rong Xi Yiyan got up and motioned to the court lady in the flower hall to set up a chair for Mu Huai, but he wondered in his heart, why did Mu Huai suddenly come over?

Mu Huai sat behind Rong Xi’s side, and coldly scanned all the concubines present with those deep black eyes.

For some concubines, he can’t remember her looks and surnames.

After Concubine Hui took her seat again with a slight panic, her wrinkled eyes were dodging, deliberately avoiding Mu Huai’s cold stare.

She was the most bullying and afraid of hardship. She had been used to Mu Huai’s brutal behavior before, and when she thought of the tragic end of Concubine Li and Concubine Shu, she dared not even look at Mu Huai.

Wang Jieyu, who was sitting next to Concubine Hui, was slightly smiling.

She saw the cramped expression of Concubine Hui, and said in her heart, why should she have known today?

Everyone in the palace, no one knows, the new emperor’s temperament is the most surly and vicious, and his wrists are also very tough.

The empress Rongshi is the woman who the emperor puts on her cusp.

Concubine Hui knew this too, but she dared to provoke Empress Rong as if her head was flooded.

Today, the new emperor came by coincidence, just in time for the yin and yang words that Princess Hui said to the queen.

But even if it was unlucky, the new emperor didn’t run into it. If the princess Hui really annoyed the queen, the queen only had to blow a few pillow breeze on the ear of the new emperor, and she would suffer.

After Mu Huai let everyone sit down, there was no more words.

The emperor’s innate prestige made everyone present dare not act rashly. Concubine Hui felt that the new emperor’s sight had been falling on her, and she shuddered.

Concubine Hui winked at Wang Jieyu repeatedly, but Wang Jieyu ignored it.

Wang Jieyu knew in her heart that Concubine Hui wanted her to take the initiative to speak with the new emperor, so she could find an opportunity to follow her back to Tangyu Palace.

She said in the morning that she didn’t want to come, but Princess Hui ignored her feelings.

Until now, why should she help her?

Wang Jieyu pretended to take a sip of tea and stopped looking at Concubine Hui.

Concubine Hui gritted her teeth bitterly, and finally got up trembling for a long while, first Mu Huai spoke, and said to him: “The emperor…this palace is unwell, so she will return to Tangyue Palace first.”

Seeing that Concubine Hui was about to take the maid out of the flower hall, Mu Huai’s eyes were cold, he winked at the eunuch, and the **** stopped Concubine Hui.

Concubine Hui couldn’t get out, and her heart became more panic.

Mu Huaiyin’s cold voice sounded in her ears: “Why, as soon as I sit down, Princess Hui will leave?”

After Concubine Hui was shocked by Mu Huai’s cold voice, she had to sit back in her seat.

It seems that the emperor is determined to support the queen today, he is really too arrogant and indulgent in this woman, as if he was stunned.

Mu Huai glanced at Concubine Hui and asked: “I just heard that Concubine Hui seems to be dissatisfied with the palace I built for the queen? What is it called, the money the queen saved is spent on this palace?”

Concubine Hui’s eyes flickered.

Behind her, there is a Zheng family who has been a general for generations. Although Qi is still peaceful now, other countries in the Central Plains are watching.

If Mu Huai had to use soldiers at that time, she would have to win her mother’s family in advance. When Li Guifei and Li Rui died, the only powerful generals in Beijing were Wang’s, Yin’s and her Zheng’s.

Concubine Hui expected that Mu Huai would still give her some face.

Since the emperor asked her why, she also wanted to talk to him.

Concubine Hui looked sad, and she felt confident in her heart. She said: “The queen manages the harem well, and the emperor saved ten thousand taels of silver during the two months you traveled east. The original palace and the sisters who served the first emperor were both I feel that the queen’s birthplace is not high, so she is so frugal, and I also appreciate her approach. But today this palace came to Jiaofang Palace to give a gift, and it turned out that the queen’s bedroom was so extravagant, which… it makes people feel that, The queen used all the silver she saved to add decorations to the palace.”

As soon as Concubine Hui’s words fell, Mu Huai’s eyebrows gradually became dark, he turned his head and glanced at Rong Xi beside him.

Rong Xi’s expression was very indifferent, and his face was not sullen because Mrs. Hui said that she was not of high birth.

Mu Huai was not so calm, he suppressed his anger.

Obviously his Xi’er has been so diligent in managing the affairs of the harem, wanting to share his worries for him, but also for him.

But so strenuous, not only is it not pleased, but in the eyes of this princess Hui, she has turned her into a polite and greedy woman.

This is really outrageous.

Rong Xi shook his head when he saw that Mu Huai’s aura was not right around him.

Mu Huai ignored her, and her voice became colder and retorted the Concubine Hui: “The queen is the lord of the harem, and the palace where she lives also represents the decent family of heaven. I have no other concubines. In the queen’s palace.”

These words have already indicated to everyone that this palace is not for the queen to repair alone, as the emperor he also wants to live.

In this way, whoever dared to say a word, that is really a brain drain.

Mu Huai spoke aggressively, and Concubine Hui’s expression was obvious.

But Mu Huai still didn’t plan to give up.

He added: “Before the Eastern Tour, I ordered the Ministry of Households to allocate silver taels for the construction of the queen’s palace. Although I was not in Bianjing for the past two months, I used the treasury to allocate a lot of silver taels to various prefectures and counties in order to build canals and embankments. Many kilns and warehouses were also set up. The silver that the queen saved in these two months went to the national treasury and was added to the two small counties in the east of Qijing.”

As soon as these words fell, the other toffees present also felt that they had blamed the queen.

Before they were more or less dissatisfied with Rong Xi because of Concubine Hui’s provocation.

Although they wouldn’t be as brainless as Princess Hui, who dared to show the queen face to face, they all secretly didn’t like the beautiful and beautiful young queen.

But when the new emperor said so well-founded, they knew where all the remaining silver had gone.

Mu Huai’s tone sank a little, and he asked Concubine Hui again: “Just ask, Concubine Hui, where did you hear it? Did the queen use all the money she saved to decorate the palace?”

The few words that the new emperor Tong Hui said before, still a few traces of respect for the elders.

But the tone of this sentence is like reprimanding a courtier in the court.

But the new emperor’s anger was originally a well-founded anger. Who made Concubine Hui too short-sighted.

The concubine beside her was silently watching Concubine Hui’s joke.

Concubine Hui’s face was sullen and she remembered that the former concubine was just a shameless concubine when she did not give birth to Mu Huai. Later, with Mu Huai, her mother was worthy of her son, and she was promoted to the position of concubine thanks to the love of Emperor Zhuang.

The emperor’s grandfather was just a city gate servant, who used to be under her grandfather’s.

Concubine Hui scolded secretly if there were things that the mother had no mother’s.

Concubine Xian died early, and this new emperor had no one to teach him, and he also didn’t understand the rules.

A few years ago, the new emperor was a lame man who couldn’t walk, but now he has become the emperor in this dynasty, and he is still so majestic in front of the elders.

No matter how the ninety-five emperor is the emperor, don’t he have to look at the face of his father and respect them, the old people of the Emperor?

Concubine Hui’s complexion also sank a little, and she said to Mu Huai: “Emperor, your mother and concubine died early, and this palace also watched you grow up, and when you were young, this palace embraced you. No matter what, You should also recite some of the kindness of the first emperor to you and respect this palace.”

Rong Xi didn’t take people like Concubine Hui too seriously. Although she always likes to pick things, she is a stupid mind, and her mind is not so sinister.

She also knew that Concubine Hui’s mother’s power was very important to Mu Huai, even if she did not respect her as a queen, she did not do anything excessive to her.

But Mrs. Hui’s words are too pungent.

Anyone with a discerning eye can hear this. Concubine Hui is ridiculing Mu Huai’s mother and concubine for leaving early, so he doesn’t respect the elders and has little education.

Rong Xi no longer remained silent, and was about to open his mouth to relieve Mu Huai.

But when I saw that, Mu Huai’s lips were gradually smiling.

His voice was low and his tone calmed down a little: “Since Concubine Hui mentioned the emperor father, I also feel that even though the emperor is no longer alive, I really should do something for the emperor to be filial.”

Concubine Hui thought that her words had awakened Mu Huai’s conscience, and she was a little proud.

He only listened to Mu Huai and pretended to say deeply: “But my government affairs are tedious, and there are some things that I have to entrust Princess Hui to do.”

Concubine Hui was puzzled, and asked: “What does the emperor want in this palace?”

Mu Huai’s eyes were dark, but his tone was calm: “I want to build a royal palace in the east of Bianjing. My father’s three-year funeral period has not expired. Since Taifei Hui is thinking of his father, she went to the temple to pray for his father. stop.”

Concubine Hui’s complexion changed.

There was such a custom in the previous dynasty. If the emperor died and the new emperor succeeded to the throne, the concubines of the first emperor who had no children would go to the temple to shave their hair into mud and pray for the soul of the first emperor.

Concubine Hui stuttered: “This…this…”:

——”Why don’t Princess Hui wish to pray for her father?”

Mu Huaifu asked in a deep voice.

Concubine Hui couldn’t tell the truth, it was disrespectful.

But who would like to have a good day in the palace, but go to the temple to eat and recite Buddha?

Concubine Hui was anxious and pointed her finger at the concubines around her, and said, “Since I pray for the first emperor, why let the palace go to the nunnery? They are also the concubines of the first emperor, and they have no heirs. Why didn’t the emperor choose They go.”

Wang Jieyu’s beautiful eyes were finally cold, and she quietly took a look at Concubine Hui.

Unexpectedly, Concubine Hui was so stupid that she wanted to take them into the water with the concubines of the first emperor.

Most of the concubines of Emperor Zhuang who were present could not be loved, and did not have so many deep feelings for Emperor Zhuang. No one would sincerely want to go to the temple nunnery to pray for Emperor Zhuang.

Rong Xi saw that the expressions of all the concubines present changed, and the disgust towards Concubine Hui was revealed in his eyes.

It turned out that Mu Huai had caused a misfortune.

Sure enough, Mu Huai followed Concubine Hui’s words and said to the other concubines present: “Concubine Hui proposed that you also pray for your father. I feel that Concubine Hui’s words are reasonable. Do you have any objections to this?”

“The construction of the royal palace takes time. The concubines and concubines can stay in the palace until the New Year’s Day. After the funeral of the father and the emperor, they can return to the palace to settle down.” Mu Huai said again.

The other wives present are not young anymore. I thought that after Emperor Zhuang’s death, they would be able to live some leisurely wealthy days, but once they went to the temple, they would be endless miserable days.

Even if they only stayed in the nunnery for three years, they all found it long and difficult to endure.

But those concubines didn’t want to hate the new emperor with strong temperament, they spread the grievances in their hearts on the broken-mouth Concubine Hui.

If it weren’t for Princess Hui, how could the new emperor let them also go to the temple to pray for blessings?

But they couldn’t refuse this matter. The concubines and concubines had to answer in unison: “Concubines have no objection. I wish to pray for the first emperor.”

The toffees of Hua Ting left one after another, and Rong Xi knew in his heart that there would be no good life for the concubine Hui to return.

The rest of the toffees are not vegetarian, and will definitely unite and target her together.

Originally, Rong Xi felt that Mu Huai was impatient and violent, and he was easily dazzled by anger.

But what happened today gave Rong Xi a better view of Mu Huai.

Concubine Hui’s face is abominable, and Mu Huai is angry, but she can sensibly come up with a strategy to deal with her. She has not lost the emperor’s poise and majesty, and her words are reasonable enough to convince the public.

But Mu Huai’s time and talents should be placed on the court, or used on the battlefield.

How can you sit in a pile of women and fight these toffees?

Rong Xi shook his head helplessly, but Mu Huai’s misfortune was also inspiring her.

Seeing that the pesky concubines finally left the Jiaofang Palace, Mu Huai held the slender hands of the woman beside him in his palm and played with it carefully.

Rong Xi knew that when Mu Huai returned to her, he always wanted to relax and have some fun.

Even if she was a queen, she couldn’t always talk to Mu Huai, who was an emperor, like the superintendent.

Rong Xi remembered that the reason why many queens of the previous dynasty were not treated by the emperor was also because of this. Being a regular wife would definitely be more far-reaching than a concubine serving as a husband, but men might not like women to do so.

After clarifying these truths, Rong Xi knew that he not only wanted to secure his position in the house, but also wanted Mu Huai’s favor.

After all, the queen is also one of the women beside the emperor, so she must not blindly put on dignified airs, but also to please the emperor.

Perhaps Mu Huai will have a harem in the future, and she will no longer be the only pet.

But in the past few years, she had to work hard to become the most important woman in Mu Huai’s heart.

Thinking about it, Rong Xi didn’t mention more about talents, nor was he so stupid to persuade Mu Huai that he shouldn’t treat those wives like that.

Mu Huai led her to the partial hall of Jiaofang Palace.

The two were sitting behind the Luohan bed, and Mu Huai looked at Rong Xi’s extremely beautiful smile, but felt that her smile did not reach the point of view.

The last time she took her out of the palace for fun, her smile was real.

Now this smile, but with a deliberately flattering disguise.

Since this woman became a queen, she has been speculating about his thoughts all the time. The more he spoils her, the more frightened she becomes.

All the performances, as before, are treating him as the master.

Rong Xi knows when to laugh and when to rant, and every move is his heart.

But Mu Huai still felt that something was missing.

After thinking about it, Rong Xi was still beside him.

She became his wife and gave birth to their children safely. If he had other demands, it would be hypocritical.

At this time, the sun outside the threshold window poured over the Arhat bed, and the side hall was warm and pleasant.

Rong Xi peeled the orange tangerine with his thin white jade fingers, which reminded people of the poem-“Wu Yan Shengxue, thin fingers break the new orange”.

After Rong Xi handed the orange petal to the man’s lips, Mu Huai lowered his head and ate the orange petal.

The taste of tangerine is the same as the taste in his heart.

Sweet and sour.

Take a closer look, with a slight astringency.

After Rong Xi finished feeding him the oranges, he gently wiped the corners of the man’s lips with a silk kerchief with a smile.

She has delicate eyebrows, and her focused look is very peaceful.

Mu Huai didn’t want to immerse himself in that bit of astringency in his heart, so he bent his fingers and scraped off the delicate and straight nose of the little queen, and said warmly: “Empress Lao will go to Qianyuan Hall with me to help me polish ink.”

Rong Xi responded gently.

On the way to Qianyuan Hall, the two took a ride side by side.

Rong Xi pulled out a piece of silk kerchief from her sleeves. While twisting the kerchief, she bent her index finger slightly and pressed it to her lips.

Shicai had a calculation in her mind, and the private feuds between her and the Queen Mother lay before her eyes.

Empress Dowager Zhai lived a day in this world, but the thorn in her heart could not be pulled out.

Rong Xi sat on Huanian and glanced at the handsome and handsome man on his side.

Everything she had was given to her by this man.

If she wanted to plan something, she would have to take advantage of this man’s power.

But what she wants Mu Huai to do for her is likely to touch his bottom line as an emperor.

No matter how much a man loves her, if she crosses this line, Mu Huai will most likely not tolerate her, or even kill her.

Recently, Mu Huai was also quite entangled with the Queen Mother Zhai.

He also glanced at Rong Xi, and asked, “Look at what I did? What’s wrong with me?”

Rong Xi was pierced by his thoughts, but he whispered back to him: “The emperor doesn’t look at his concubine, how can he know that his concubine is looking at you?”

Mu Huai frowned and shook his head, with a low voice with helpless indulgence: “It’s getting sharper and sharper.”

Rong Xi didn’t say much, she looked up again at the blue sky of Bianjing, seemingly inadvertently.

In order not to dirty Mu Huai’s hands, and to get rid of Queen Mother Zhai, she might really have to do it back.

*****

Before that day, Mu Huai inspected the drought control results submitted from various states and counties in Qianyuan Hall.

When he visited the east, he assigned the important tasks of drought prevention to officials in various places. After returning, he also ordered the Ministry of Household to allocate money. Recently, officials from the Ministry of Industry were sent to various places to supervise the construction.

But Mu Huai was cautious, and he was still not at ease with those local officials. He was afraid that they would be ignorant of the court’s silver. He thought that he would send some more Yudu princes to various counties to monitor.

But seeing the grille leaking out of the window, it was already early.

I felt it was time to go back to Jiaofang Palace and sleep with the little queen.

Mu Huai felt sorry for Rong Xi’s frail body. Although he was always in high spirits, he deliberately restrained himself and didn’t dare to be too presumptuous.

Tonight he was going to sleep with the woman purely.

After Bianjing entered the winter, Rong Xi’s hands and feet were always cold, and he would be stunned for women every night.

The government affairs temporarily chimed, after Mu Huai arrived at Jiaofang Palace, he found that the woman had not personally greeted him at the gate of the palace tonight.

It is said that the palace staff will tell her in advance when he will be here.

Mu Huai felt strange in his heart, but didn’t ask the palace man next to him too much, thinking that the woman might be tired, so he fell asleep before him.

He walked slowly towards the back of the dormitory, only to find that Rong Xi was not asleep, but he was also very strangely dressed.

I saw that despondent, tidy, petite beauty was wearing a plain white bedclothes, but she was covered with a snow fox waistcoat. She was not as usual, with long hair scattered, but she wore a double-ringed bun with her hair tangled. Some fluffy ornaments.

He looked like a little vixen.

Mu Huai couldn’t figure out what tricks this woman was playing with him, so he scolded with a deep eyebrow, “What kind of style is it to dress like this?”

Rong Xi didn’t feel afraid of his reprimand, but walked in front of the man with small steps.

She walked in front of the man, and the soft fur on Xuehu’s waistcoat also inadvertently rubbed the back of his hand.

Rong Xi’s eyes were red, and he looked gentle and obedient, and looked like a snow-white rabbit.

Mu Huaiqiang restrained himself. He wanted to hold this grinning spirit in his arms, rubbing and rubbing the thought, and then asked in a pretentious tone: “I am asking you something, why don’t you answer?”

Rong Xi raised his eyes timidly and glanced at the man.

Under the flickering candlelight, the lines of Mu Huai’s neck were intertwined.

Rong Xishi just saw it, his Adam’s apple rolled slightly.

She knew his preferences very clearly, and Mu Huai was indeed a wicked person.

Rong Xi’s eyes turned slightly, still deliberately showing a timid expression, but suddenly he threw his petite body into the arms of the tall man in front of him.

She wrapped her slender arms around the man’s waist, and the white hair on her body made him itchy.

But his heart is even more itchy.

Mu Huai couldn’t take it anymore, or couldn’t help but stretched out his hand to touch her fluffy head, and asked in a low voice, “Why are you acting like a baby suddenly? What do you want me to do?”

His voice was hoarse, and his eyes were deeply stained.

Rong Xi raised his eyes again at this moment, and looked at the man’s face with a hint of seductiveness.

Then she stood on tiptoe and put her soft lips on the side of the man’s ears, and murmured like a blue: “The emperor… the bruises on the knees of the concubines disappeared.”
