C43 Lan Feis visit (2/2)
”I am afraid that your Majesty has put so much effort into coming here, that I am afraid your Lady Qiong will not know.”
Mo Hua laughed bitterly, ”Oh Shen Qing, tell me, as the Son of Heaven, what kind of woman do I need? And yet … ”But …”
Although he could not continue, Great Deity Official understood.
Imperial Consort Qiong, Ye Qiongjiang. This Xin Country was the Nanping The General's daughter, the deathsworn that Xin Su sent to the palace to assassinate the Emperor. This woman who was chosen for Gu Rongzhi, the woman who had played the key role in the Monarch Calamity …
Why did he have to fall in love with her?
”Speaking of which, is there anyone in Shen Qing that you like?” Mo Hua suddenly asked.
Great Deity Official was startled, then said after a pause: ”Your Majesty must be joking, Shen Qing controls the Star Palace, and won't like anyone.”
For such a transcendent existence like the Star Palace, although the divine authority would not topple and the imperial authority would not disappear, in the end, one mountain could not hold two tigers, so how could the previous emperors not be wary?
Thus, on the day that the Star Palace was established, no one would leave behind any sons, just in case. Although there were no clear rules, Star Palace had always been strict with them and had never violated them.
Of course, Mo Hua was clear about the hidden rules inside, it was just that he had neglected them for a while today.
His eyes darkened slightly as he sighed softly, ”Shen Qing, the situation between us is different from the previous generations of Sovereigns and Great Deity Official. Although the previous officials came from the royal family, they were not close friends. We are brothers, brothers from the same father and mother. If you have anyone you like, I will support you. ”
”Your Majesty, from the moment Shen Qing took over the Star Palace, he has vowed to pay respect to Da Xia and he will never fall for anyone.”
From the morning until the next day, Ye Qiongjiang felt that Fang Chun was a little strange.
”What are you laughing at?”
Ye Qiongjiang frowned, she scrunched her face up, pretending to be serious, she asked: What exactly do you want to say?
Fang Chun pursed her lips into a smile, as if she was a fox who had stolen meat, ”Esteemed Empress, the Emperor must have been extremely mighty last night. When she left in the morning, she even told this servant not to wake you up, saying that you're tired, and that you should sleep until you wake up naturally.”
”What kind of nonsense are you spouting!” Ye Qiongjiang blushed, she spat at Fang Chun, but was secretly surprised, the Emperor came by last night? But why didn't she know? What kind of tricks was this Mo Hua trying to pull?
Fang Chun saw that her eyebrows were tightly-knit and she seemed to be deep in thought. She thought that she was still thinking about last night and secretly laughed, then bowed and said: ”This servant will not disturb the Empress, this servant will take his leave.” However, after walking a few steps, she stopped and smiled, ”Empress, don't worry. Young Eunuch Qing has drunk this servant's cherry wine, tonight, your Majesty will return!”
Fang Chun was indeed able to become the Grand Palace Maiden, but she was actually very quick-witted. Before the Imperial Consort Qiong got angry, she had already retreated very quickly.
Ye Qiongjiang held in his anger until she was half dead, but she had no one to vent it on, she could only vent out his anger, ”It's all that damn emperor!”
Actually, he didn't need to wait until the evening. When he first arrived at Shen, that 'Emperor of Death' had already arrived.
After bringing Mo Hua to the room and sitting opposite of him, Fang Chun brought out the fragrant tea that she had stewed and stood behind Imperial Consort Qiong, her lips unconsciously curling up.
Ye Qiongjiang sat straight up, and watched Mo Hua leisurely take a sip of tea from his blue and white porcelain tea bowl, and then said indifferently: ”Your Majesty, don't you need to review the imperial reports? Arriving at the harem so early is probably not the doing of the King. ”
With that, Fang Chun, who was standing behind her, was struck dumb, almost fainting. She felt like she had risked his life to pull the emperor over, but his own mistress had risked her life to push the emperor away …
”Puff …”
Mo Hua suddenly spat out his tea. Ye Qiongjiang calmly got up and dodged the attack.
”Cough, cough.”
Mo Hua could not resist coughing twice, placing the tea bowl on the table, taking the handkerchief handed to him by Qing An, he wiped the corner of his lips, then raised his head to look at the indifferent Ye Qiongjiang, ”I haven't been here for a few days, is this what you wanted to say to me?”
”This concubine is only advising His Majesty not to indulge in women's beauty, as the country's affairs are more important. ”It's almost the flood season, so the emperor has to worry about the flood control projects in various places. Chenqie thinks that right now, the emperor shouldn't be so free.”
Ye Qiongjiang said righteously, as though she was ready to give her advice at any moment.
Those who did not know the inside information, upon seeing this scene, would definitely praise Imperial Consort Qiong's virtue, which was comparable to the most virtuous Queen since the founding of Da Xia Empire.
Fang Chun smiled apologetically and continued, ”Your majesty, Empress's meaning is … ”Actually, I hope the emperor can …” Even though he was halfway through his words, he found himself at a loss for words, unable to continue on. This... This couldn't be rounded at all.
Just as he didn't know how to resolve the tension between the emperor and his concubine, he suddenly heard a young eunuch sing loudly outside, ”Esteemed Empress Lan has arrived.”
