Chapter 349 Condolences
The emperor finally held a draft, which made the ministers who had been looking forward to it for a long time overjoyed.
Nowadays, the queen is the only favorite in the palace, but the queen has been married to the emperor for more than ten years, and she has already grown old.
The girl in their family is young and beautiful, and will definitely replace the queen and become the emperor's favorite concubine.
The position of queen is something that cannot be considered. After all, the queen has given birth to three legitimate sons and her status is stable. However, it is also possible to be a noble concubine or even an imperial concubine.
Furthermore, before the Holy Emperor ascended the throne, he was the man his daughter's family wanted to marry in the city, and now he is even more popular.
Some girls went to the palace with their fathers and brothers. At the palace banquets, they were lucky enough to meet Emperor Xuanzhi once or twice. They were fascinated by the magnanimity that Emperor Xuanzhi exuded.
This time they had the opportunity to enter the palace and serve Emperor Xuanzhi, so they all made up their minds to stand out in the draft and seek glory for themselves and their family.
For this purpose, they sent people to inquire about Emperor Xuanzhi's preferences, and some even asked the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother did not dare to disclose such private matters as Emperor Xuanzhi liked to eat and use, for fear that someone would take the opportunity to murder Emperor Xuanzhi.
The Queen Mother thought about how Emperor Xuanzhi had pampered Jiang Changning all these years, "You must have outstanding looks and good clothes."
When I woke up from a drowsy sleep, it was already midnight.
"Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who is opaque and won't force myself." Jiang Changning knew their good intentions.
"I guess Your Majesty is also thinking about your Majesty right now." Fang Ju said with a smile.
The couple got up, finished their dinner, and returned to Qiyuan Palace in a dragon and phoenix chariot. While taking a bath, Jiang Changning was tortured a lot by Emperor Xuanzhi again.
He sat down first, held Jiang Changning on his lap, and went to kiss her face.
Xiao Lin'er is fat and very cute.
She had seen how kind Emperor Xuanzhi was to Jiang Changning, and was afraid that after Jiang Changning fell out of favor, the gap would be too great and she could not bear it.
Since the prince studied with Emperor Xuanzhi, she rarely went to the imperial study. She would be embarrassed if she always showed affection in front of her son.
"Give me the food box." Jiang Changning carried the food box and entered the imperial study.
Seeing Jiang Changning teasing Xiao Lin'er happily, she seemed not to be affected by the draft, but the two felt that she was forcing a smile.
The Queen Mother could not let the beautiful women imitate Jiang Changning's makeup to attract Emperor Xuanzhi.
"Your Majesty," Jiang Changning called.
"Aunt, you are the queen, no one can surpass you." Princess Kangren said dryly.
"What's the matter? Your Majesty, what's the matter with me?" Jiang Changning asked with a smile.
But she couldn't tell them Emperor Xuanzhi's private decision, because if Emperor Xuanzhi broke his promise, she would become a joke.
"Just come back in the evening." Emperor Xuanzhi lowered his eyes and looked at the person in his arms, "Is the Queen worried that I don't have the mental strength?"
Jiang Changning didn't want to mess around with him like this, "Your Majesty, come to Qiyuan Palace in the evening and we'll meet again."
Yan Yinyao also advised: "Cousin, the prince and the others are filial and obedient. Please pay more attention to them and don't get into trouble."
In the imperial study, Emperor Xuanzhi was crouching at his desk and reviewing memorials.
"Your Majesty just kicked out the slaves and said that the empress is here, so he invited them in directly." Chang Youzhong bowed and made a gesture of invitation, "Your Majesty, please."
"Your Majesty should be still reviewing memorials in the imperial study at the moment, right?" Jiang Changning asked Fang Ju who had just entered.
"That's it." Jiang Changning's eyes flickered, "Pick up a box of pastries. I want to go see my Majesty."
As for the bun
Every time Jiang Changning came here to pay her respects, he always wore a dignified bun.
"It's nothing wrong. His Majesty just asked the empress if she was here after a while." Chang Youzhong said with a smile.
Think about how old she is. She is a grandmother. Time really makes people grow old.
As soon as he finished speaking, Shu Fei came in and said, "Your Majesty, your Majesty sent someone to take your Majesty to the royal study."
"Then let's go to the inner chamber." Emperor Xuanzhi never wronged himself on this matter, not to mention that he was holding his beloved wife in his arms, so why should he hold it back?
When they learned that there was going to be a talent show in the palace, Yan Yinyao and Princess Kangren came in with signs asking to see Jiang Changning.
"Yes, yes, it's my fault. Please don't be upset and let me make up for it." Emperor Xuanzhi took the food box in her hand and put it aside, then pulled her to the dragon chair.
After they left, Jiang Changning remembered that he had not seen the busy Emperor Xuanzhi for a few days, so he had to bring some cakes to express his condolences to his majesty.
Yan Yinyao and Princess Kangren had lunch in the palace before leaving the palace and going home.
Jiang Changning liked him very much and teased him with a rattle. Of course, she would like him even more if he called her "uncle and grandma."
It’s okay to doubt anything, but you can’t doubt a man’s ability in this matter.
Before she reached the imperial study room, she saw Chang Youzhong looking there. As soon as he saw her, Chang Youzhong trotted over and said, "Oh, my dear, you are finally here."
Emperor Xuanzhi also said plausibly: "You are not joking. I said that I can serve the Queen comfortably at night, so I must do it."
"Today the prince left the palace and went to Dong Daying. Your Majesty should be approving the papers at the moment. The servant just came over there. I heard from Eunuch Chang that your Majesty did not summon the ministers." Fang Ju said with a smile.
"It's obvious that His Majesty has neglected his beloved wife and refused to go to the harem for several days." Jiang Changning said angrily.
"Go, go, don't tease your master." Jiang Changning raised his legs and walked out.
Fangju smiled and said: "Your Majesty, my servant is right. Your Majesty is also thinking about your Majesty."
"Your Majesty, please don't mess around, I'm just joking." Jiang Changning dodged, "This is the imperial study room."
"It's hard for Eunuch Chang. Please help me inform Eunuch Chang." Although Jiang Changning knew that Emperor Xuanzhi was alone in the imperial study, he would not rush in rashly.
Jiang Changning couldn't resist in the end and was eaten clean by Emperor Xuanzhi. She really tried her best to express her condolences.
Emperor Xuanzhi looked up and saw that it was Jiang Changning. He immediately put down the book and came to lead her, "Is the Queen willing to come and see me?"
Jiang Changning asked them to enter the palace together. Yan Yinyao did not bring Zeng Mi, who was already engaged and was busy embroidering the wedding dress. Princess Kangren brought her two-year-old son Xiao Lin'er.
After thinking about it for a while, I found that Jiang Changning had no preference for colors. He could wear clothes of any color and still look charming in them.
She had no ability to dissuade Emperor Xuan Zhi from not participating in the draft. She could only persuade her aunt to relax her mind and not be sad about this matter.
"Your Majesty is so powerful that I have never been worried about you." Jiang Changning said quickly.
"Not necessarily, he is so busy." Jiang Changning thought for a while, "It's better to have someone go over and ask first, so as not to disturb His Majesty."
Jiang Changning, who was so tired that she didn't even want to raise her eyelids, ignored him. But when she was about to fall asleep, she remembered that she seemed to have forgotten to do something.
Fatigue hit her, and she fell into a deep sleep before she could think deeply.
The talent show outside the palace was in full swing, and the emperor and empress in the palace lived their little lives affectionately.
At the palace banquet on New Year's Eve, Jiang Changning discovered that no girl of the right age was brought into the palace from each palace. He smiled slightly, and it seemed that he planned to wait for the draft to make a splash.
Chapter completed!
