C562 Consecutive merit (2/2)
Not long after, Feng Degui held a book with both hands and presented it to the emperor. ”Your majesty, this is the paper that Qingnan sent back to the capital with great haste.”
”Qing Nan?” It's definitely Yun Zheng's paper. Quickly show it to us. ”
”Yes.”
Zhou Cheng Di looked at the paper and smiled, praising it, ”Alright! Good! Good! Yun Zheng really did not disappoint my expectations. Qing Nan's Medallion of Gratitude has already been carried out. ”
”The Ninth Prince is wise and wise. It is the Emperor's fortune to be able to show us equal respect.” Feng Degui promptly said.
”I have been considering who among the princes can take over the position of Crown Prince. In this past year or so, I have been very satisfied with Yun Zheng every single time, so should I give this position to Yun Zheng, but Ye'er is also not bad. He also has outstanding military merits and enjoys prestige among the three armies, so if I were to take up the position of Crown Prince, the soldiers of the three armies would not be dissatisfied?”
”Your majesty, esteemed imperial concubine wishes to seek an audience.”
As he was speaking, Consort Xian came in from outside.
Zhou Cheng Emperor put the paper away and said, ”Let her in.”
Not long after, Xu Xianyi sauntered into the hall. She took a bowl of soup from a palace maid behind her and said, ”Your majesty, chenqie made a cup of venison blood soup. chenqie showed it to the imperial physician. She said that your majesty drank it for the sake of the dragon's body.”
The emperor said, ”I seem to remember that among the fourth concubines, you were especially good at cooking.”
”Your majesty doesn't dislike it, that's chenqie's fortune.” ”Drink while it's hot. Your concubine has been simmering for six hours.”
After finishing the bowl of soup, Zhou Chengdi asked, ”Consort Xian, you didn't come here just to deliver this bowl of Golden Deer Blood Soup to me, right?”
”As expected, nothing can be hidden from the emperor. This concubine is thinking that the empress dowager has just lost her mother and is now gravely ill, so this child must be very sad. She wanted to ask the emperor to show her kindness and allow her concubine to see him.
When Zhou Chengdi heard this, his face immediately turned dark and he said, ”There's no need to go overboard. I have other plans. Please don't ask too much about this matter, Consort Xian!”
If it wasn't for the honor of the imperial family, he would have publicly killed her!
”Your majesty!” ”Your majesty, don't blame your consort for speaking too much. The empress shall pay her respects, the Eleventh Princess is very ill, and your majesty won't allow anyone to visit her. The empress's reputation will be tarnished, and people will be suspicious of your actions. Some people even thought that the empress's death …” ”Do you think there's anything fishy about the empress's death? Do you think she was killed by someone? Do you think the emperor …”
”Shut up!” When the emperor heard this, he flew into a rage and said, ”Did the empress die weirdly? ”Who dares to say that, I will chop off his head!”
”Your majesty, even if no one dares to speak out publicly, they'll definitely speculate in their hearts. This really isn't good for the empress dowager and the emperor!” ”So, in order to prevent the future of the masses from talking, Your Majesty please allow me to see the Eleventh Princess. Your concubine won't say anything and will only take a look. This way, everyone who sees the Eleventh Princess won't suspect that the Eleventh Princess is under house arrest and won't make any wild guesses.” Xu Xianfei quickly said.
Zhou Chengdi pursed his lips and frowned when he heard what Xu Xianfei said.
”Your majesty, the harem has always been a place of conflict! Your majesty, please allow your concubine to share this worry with your majesty. Only when people find out about Princess Eleven will they not make wild guesses.” Xu Xianfei said righteously.
