The Empress Wants To Be Deposed! - Chapter 44
Song Jinning was holding a fan with red sandalwood handle. The embroidery on the full moon-shaped white silk is extremely simple, but a pink camellia with two butterflies.
She had used this fan to completely cover all of her face. At this moment, hearing Li Chengxuan’s question, the fan slowly fell from the top to the bottom.
The forehead was smooth and white, and then there was a pair of slender and soothing distant eyebrows, and then the pair of moisturizing and clear apricot eyes.
The apricot eyes were still smiling slightly at this moment, and suddenly looked over, like the water under the sun, shimmering with sparkling waves.
A little later is Qiong Nose, cherry lips, sharp chin. Finally, her whole beautiful face appeared in front of Li Chengxuan’s eyes.
The scene just now can be said to have been watching Lee Seung-hsun holding his breath. Until this moment, Song Jinning’s face was completely uncovered, and Li Chengxuan looked at her intently.
However, in contrast to this, Song Jinning glanced at Li Chengxuan, except for the moment when he removed the fan and revealed his eyes, Song Jinning stopped looking at him after that.
The tuan fan in her hand shook gently, and she tilted her head slightly, and a strand of broken hair on the sideburns rose gently.
“Are you happy to play today?”
The hand shaking the fan paused, Song Jinning suddenly chuckled as if thinking of something funny.
“There is not much joy. But your Majesty, I have met some people today.”
“Which people?”
Li Chengxuan reluctantly turned his gaze away from Song Jinning’s face, asking very absent-mindedly.
Who can make you laugh like this when you meet? Humph, every time you see me on weekdays, you have never been so happy to see you smile.
If Song Jinning knew that Li Chengxuan was going to complain for himself even this little thing, then he would really have to laugh. After smiling, you have to point to the tip of his nose and ask him, my Majesty, how old are you this year?
But I don’t know, so she said with great interest: “I have seen many wives from aristocratic families. And these wives are not here alone, next to or with their own daughters, or Be your niece or niece or something.”
Song Jinning didn’t say that Mrs. Lin Chuan didn’t take her daughter and only took her son. Anyway, this matter has little to do with Li Chengxuan.
If Song Jinning is Qiqiao Linglongxin, then Li Chengxuan must be Jiuqiao. Hearing Song Jinning’s words, I knew what the wives of those nobles were fighting.
A pair of long eyebrows frowned involuntarily.
Counting the days, he and Song Jinning have been married for half a year. Because each other only has the name of a husband and wife and not the reality of a husband and wife, it is natural that Song Jinning cannot be pregnant.
Because of this, courtiers have repeatedly stated that the harem is empty, and asked him to draft the harem so that he could open up the royal court.
Ministers who have daughters of school age in the family are particularly enthusiastic about this matter.
Li Chengxuan was no longer the young emperor who was left to judge. First, I talked about the emptiness of the national treasury. The limited amount of money should be used to let the people live and work in peace and contentment. How can it be used to draft their own talents, and won the praise of some ministers who have no daughters of school age. Then I selected a few of the most powerful ministers who had school-age daughters in the family and gave their daughters a marriage.
And the objects of marriage were the sons of these ministers’ rivals!
Hmph, see who will dare to jump again in the future! Re-bounce and re-marry, until there are no daughters of the right age to be married in your family.
And the object of marriage is also the son of your rival!
Li Chengxuan’s operation was as fierce as a tiger, and the previous period was quiet for the time being, no one dared to catch him and keep playing so that he could fill the harem.
It’s just that he couldn’t get through here. These people dare to hit the queen mother, even Song Jinning.
Song Jinning didn’t even know Li Chengxuan’s hard work for not being drafted. He was using his fingers to count the women she saw today.
“…Mrs. Wei Guogong’s daughter is the most exquisite and beautiful, Mrs. Jining Hou’s second daughter is the most beautiful, the niece of Mrs. Changxing’s family is the most literate, and the daughter of the official minister’s family has the best eyebrows. The eyebrows are like feathers, and the eyes are like lacquer, making people forget the vulgar when they see it.”
Seeing the excitement of her face, people who didn’t know thought she was going to draft for herself.
Lee Seung-hsun knew that the secular world has virtuous and generous words about women’s morals. Not only can’t be jealous, some even choose concubine rooms for their husbands themselves. The queen, who is the mother of a country, should do this even more so that she can become a model for women in the world.
But seeing Song Jinning now wantonly talking about the advantages of other women in front of him, Li Chengxuan only felt extremely depressed.
He didn’t speak, just listened to Song Jinning.
Until Song Jinning had counted all the women he saw today, Li Chengxuan asked, “Of these women today, which one do you like the most?”
“what?”
Song Jinning was confused. The hand shaking the fan stopped, and he looked at Li Chengxuan with a puzzled expression.
How did she listen to him, she could choose a woman to stay with her as a concubine?
No, even if she wants to choose, she should choose a man to be the face first, right?
I don’t understand what Li Chengxuan’s words mean at all.
However, Li Chengxuan did not wait for her to understand, so he put on another sentence: “What, what do you mean, I want me to bring all these women into the palace?”
There was a bit of gritted teeth in the tone.
But Song Jinning was stunned before, how could she know that Li Chengxuan had a reversal in an instant, she didn’t react for a while, so she didn’t notice the gnashing of her teeth at all.
I also used my own thinking to understand the two sentences of Li Chengxuan before and after.
In his words, he asked her which one she liked the most. It must be because he was too lazy to choose, and because he believed in her vision, he planned to accept whichever she said was the best as a concubine.
In this second sentence, I saw that she didn’t answer his first question, thinking she was embarrassed. The reason for the embarrassment is also very simple, because the women are so nice, he thought she liked them, so he just thought of including them all as concubines.
This logic is so tight that Song Jinning almost likes to give herself a compliment.
I’m so smart!
As for whether Li Chengxuan accepts a woman into the palace or accepts all those women, it makes no difference to Song Jinning.
He shook the fan in his hand leisurely, and said with a smile: “Isn’t it still up to your majesty to accept one or all of them?”
But in my heart, I was thinking, in fact, I still took it all, and it was lively. In this way, can she still watch a lot of beauties like Gongdou in the future.
Although Li Chengxuan had expected Song Jinning to say this a long time ago, he still felt a fine tingling in his heart when he heard the words from her.
At the same time, there is a sense of helpless frustration.
Isn’t it a stone that he likes? How could he not even notice his intentions at all?
@Foam
He couldn’t stay here anymore.
If he stayed any longer, he was afraid that he could not help but rush to hold Song Jinning’s shoulders and shake them vigorously, and then asked her that he was so handsome and outstanding, with wide shoulders, slender waist, long legs, tall and straight, and he was the best of the ninety-five years. The emperor, still linger in front of you every day and eat all kinds of delicacies with you. Your face is often changed by your anger, but you have never blamed you, but why do you only have me in your eyes but never have me in your heart?
When will you put me in your heart?
He stood up without saying a word, then turned away with a calm face.
When he walked to the door, he suddenly remembered something, and he turned and walked back.
Song Jinning was surprised at which one he was singing, and suddenly saw him come back.
He blinked twice in confusion, and just as his Majesty called out, Li Chengxuan looked up at her.
But there was still no word, only a thing was taken out of her arms and placed on the Kang table in front of her, and then she turned and left without saying a word.
Song Jinning: …
What does Li Chengxuan mean?
Gu Yu was coming into the hall from outside, and he ran into Li Chengxuan in front of him, and curtseyed.
Without waiting for her to speak, Li Chengxuan had already passed her straight ahead. The figure quickly disappeared at the shadow wall.
Gu Yu looked at the shadow wall in surprise for a while. After waiting to confirm that Li Chengxuan had really left, he turned and continued to enter the hall.
“Niang,”
As soon as I entered the hall, I saw Song Jinning turning his head and looking out the window. He asked, “How did your majesty go?”
In the past, your Majesty would definitely stay for dinner and stay for overnight. Why did you leave today without even having dinner?
“I do not know.”
Song Jinning turned around and stared at Gu Yu.
Bai Lu, who was still standing on the side, couldn’t stand the two goods, and reminded: “Manny, what your Majesty just gave you.”
Song Jinning remembered that moment. Slightly lowering his head, he saw a rectangular box on the Kang table.
The box is made of huanghuali wood. There is no gold or inlaid snails, just a few lotus leaves and the like.
If Song Jinning takes a closer look, he will see that the carved lotus is a double lotus. But isn’t this box originally not big? How big can the carvings on it be?
And Song Jinning never imagined that Li Chengxuan would use something like Bing Tilian to show her heart, so she didn’t pay attention at all.
He stretched out his hand and opened the box without hesitation.
She knew in her heart that this box must be the good thing Li Chengxuan said this morning to give her.
I was actually quite curious. I don’t know what kind of rare or precious thing it will be, it is worthy of being as mysterious as Li Chengxuan.
