After saying goodbye to the empress dowager, although there were more upset things, the Empress Dowager''s safe return still greatly relieved the emperor.
Then he didn''t even eat dinner and went directly to the Queen''s bedroom.
The queen seemed to know that the emperor was back and waited in the hall early.
The queen is in her early 40s, and the great beauty of that year is still charming at this time. She can''t be beautiful without light powder. No one doubts the symmetrical girl who claims to be in her early 20s. On her soft face, there is a little sense of dignity, a bit of the shadow of the Empress Dowager
In fact, she is very similar to the Empress Dowager. She comes from a famous family, has excellent cultivation and knowledge, and has a way of thinking as a superior; After marrying into the Imperial Palace, he became a virtuous internal helper of the king of a country. He solved all kinds of chores in the three palaces and six courts alone, and never pretended to complain to the emperor.
Nowadays, the queen is the most suitable woman to be a queen and command the harem.
After 20 years of ups and downs, they hugged each other and wept without much words.
The emperor knew how painful it was for the queen to lose her son, but he wouldn''t blame him. Since he sent the young Li Jianbi to Jiangdong to separate their mother and son, the queen didn''t say a word more and just supported her husband.
The queen is supporting her husband. Even if her son dies, she doesn''t want to say more to the emperor. She has learned from the emperor''s white hair how sad the emperor is for the emperor''s son these days.
Because they understand each other, they feel more distressed for each other.
They cried silently for a long time. After a long journey and grief, the queen finally fell asleep in the emperor''s arms.
Looking at the woman in her arms who took off her majesty after falling asleep, like a pure and lovely girl, the emperor smiled spoiled and carried the light queen back to bed.
Then he came to a study in the Queen''s palace and ordered someone to move the memorial. It''s still early at this time. Before it''s time to go to bed, I plan to take time here to deal with some urgent government affairs.
Who wants to just make arrangements, a pair of small hands lightly covered their eyes from behind.
In front of him came a soft, tender but beautiful voice like oriole''s morning cry: "father, guess who I am?"
Then came the rustling sound behind him. It seemed that someone jumped for a leaky "father emperor".
"Hehe, who can it be? Who dares to cover my eyes except pingting?" the emperor smiled confidently.
"Guess, guess wrong..." the soft voice in front of the emperor hesitated.
"Although the voice is Changning''s voice, the hands are by no means Changning''s hands. Changning''s hands are soft and boneless. They are smooth and cool all year round. These hands usually carry poetry and songs, caress Guqin and pipa, write calligraphy and painting, and dance Qinghong water sleeves. Is it the same as your rough hand feeling as a troublemaker who is active all day?" the emperor shook his head in a deep sense of absurdity.
Li pingting behind the emperor angrily loosened her hand and rubbed it to see if it was as rough as the emperor said... Can it be her own father! Even if you praise your sister, is it necessary to praise and belittle!
After releasing his hand, the emperor slowly opened his eyes.
In front of me, a beautiful woman with long hair and side bundles stood still at the table.
Her facial features look like a queen, but she lacks a lot of dignity and adds a bit of charm. A pair of big round eyes flickered as if they could speak, and a slightly pale face showed an impulse that people couldn''t help but want to take care of. She has a beautiful figure, slim waist and hips. Her height is not high, but the proportion of her legs is amazing. The slightly loose clothes and robes can not cover the full radian of the upper circumference, which makes it difficult to imagine how to get a plump proportion under the slender and malnourished fragrant shoulder.
She stood there dignified and beautiful, and it was pleasing to the eyes just to see her posture.
This is the emperor''s eldest princess, Li Changning.
Among all the princesses, Changning is the one who best fits the princess''s identity.
She is very beautiful. It''s the beauty that melts people''s hearts. It''s not like Li Shangrong''s coldness or Li pingting''s beauty. She is gentle and sensible, unlike Li Shangrong''s coldness and Li pingting''s liveliness. Hobbies are the top match for first-class ladies, such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry, song and dance, flower tea... In short, they don''t like dancing knives and guns like their two sisters.
This is the perfect daughter in the emperor''s mind. Therefore, the emperor also likes Princess Changning most.
Or, no one in the palace doesn''t like her.
At the beginning, only Changning was of marriageable age. The emperor was extremely contradictory when he married her to Ao Yuanjia. But her daughter was too sensible to embarrass her father. Instead, she tried her best to promote the marriage, which enabled the emperor to complete the political marriage to consolidate the dynasty.
"No, it''s not my rough hand if my father can guess right!" Li pingting said later. "I cover my eyes in the back and my sister asks in front. Of course, my father will see through!"
After all, Li pingting is still a princess. Even if she often dances with knives and guns, her skin is well maintained. How can it be so rough? The emperor teases her... But the emperor can really recognize Li Changning by hand.
Li Changning smiled faintly. He even walked like a textbook. He was dignified and beautiful. He came behind the emperor and pinched his shoulder for the emperor.
In the past, when the emperor was tired of being busy with political affairs, Li Changning would pinch him for a while. The skilled and superb massage technology would let the emperor relax.
So how could the emperor not recognize Li Changning''s hand?
"Hum." when he looked at Li Changning, the emperor''s eyes were full of love. Then he turned to Li pingting, and his eyes suddenly became sharp. "Do you still have time to fool around here?"
Last time, Li pingting deceived him into thinking that Li Shangrong stole out with her. The emperor hasn''t calmed down yet!
"I''m not fooling around!" Li pingting was cold. Her father was eccentric. She asked her to accompany her father from time to time before she came back. After she came back, she immediately became a child picked up. Her father didn''t love her. "Elder sister Changning and I haven''t seen each other for a long time. I came to talk to her about the past."
"Why don''t you accompany the Empress Dowager to talk about the past when she returns to the palace today?" the emperor sneered.
"The Empress Dowager must be very tired when she just returned to the palace. It''s hard to disturb her. I, I will go to see her with sister Shang Rong tomorrow..." Li pingting whispered.
The emperor can''t see what Li pingting thinks?
Li Shangrong has something to do today, so the emperor asked Li Mengyao to pick up the Empress Dowager after he came back. There have been too many chaos during this period. The Empress Dowager must be depressed. Li pingting secretly ran down the mountain with Li Shangrong from Lianhua Mountain and got involved in many incidents. When the Empress Dowager saw her, she must be severely punished. Without Li Shangrong''s help, the smelly girl didn''t dare to see the Empress Dowager alone!
Li Shangrong won''t be free until tomorrow, so she wants to bring her sister who can help to die! At least you don''t have to die so ugly!
Fortunately, he and the Empress Dowager have many things to explain in detail today. The Empress Dowager has no time to calculate her account for the time being, otherwise she still wants to hide today?
"Well, I haven''t told the Empress Dowager about your change in Dunhuang, the siege of the royal hunting ground, and sneaking out of the palace to look for the Dharma protector of the demon cult a few days ago. I''ll have time to explain it in detail tomorrow. When you go to see the Empress Dowager, you''ll just cure your itch."
The Empress Dowager knows these things. She doesn''t have to blow it up!
Therefore, when the emperor went to the Empress Dowager today, these dangerous details were actually omitted as far as possible, so as not to make the Empress Dowager who had just returned from Zhou Ju Lawton ill with anger.
The emperor hasn''t calmed down Li pingting yet, but the name of the favorite girl crazy devil is not given in vain. Secretly, he quietly helped Li pingting bury some charges.
"Don''t... father... Please..." Li pingting was really scared. The Empress Dowager hurt her, but it was selfless to punish people, so she knelt on the emperor''s side with a bitter face, pulled the emperor''s sleeves, and said pitifully with tears in her eyes, "even if you want to say it, can you say it every few months? Father... Please..."
The Emperor didn''t intend to tell the Empress Dowager in detail, but seeing her lovely appearance, he wanted to tease her and let her suffer.
And he was also curious: "what''s the difference between saying it separately and saying it together?"
"There''s a big difference! Together, the Empress Dowager must be very angry. It''s not surprising that she will be imprisoned for half a year in anger. But separately, the Empress Dowager may be imprisoned for ten and a half days and a half months at a time. Three or four charges have accumulated for only two or three months. How much difference do you say between two months and half a year!"
Not to mention the emperor, even Li Changning was amused by the careful calculation of Li pingting, a ghost spirit who is familiar with the Empress Dowager''s temperament.
When Li Changning saw Li pingting''s pitiful and lovely appearance, he couldn''t help but say softly, "no matter how I punish you tomorrow, I''ll go with you."
"Well, sister Changning is the best to me!"
Li pingting grinned foolishly at her beautiful sister. The Empress Dowager must be a lot softhearted when her eldest sister and second sister spoke for her... This father can''t be trusted. He can only stab her in the back of her daughter, but her sister is reliable!
As the king of a country, I''m still so small!
"You are more than guilty. I just love Shang Rong. When she comes, she will protect you. On the contrary, she will be severely punished by the Empress Dowager." Li Changning has a submissive temper and only teases her slightly naughty sister.
"Hee hee... No matter what, you can go together anyway!" Li pingting was afraid to inherit her father''s thick skin. She broke her tears into a smile, bashed her face, gave her sister a domineering kiss on her face, and took enough advantage before she ran away.
"You don''t have to kneel down for me because you haven''t learned court etiquette well?" the emperor said angrily and funny to the runaway figure.
When there were only two of them left in the study, Li Changning breathed a long sigh of relief and said in a faint way: "the father emperor has worried about his white head during this period of time. The daughter''s failure to help is unfilial."
"Don''t say such silly words. How can your presence or absence affect the overall situation... In other words, you and your son-in-law..."
Li Changning was considerate and knew what the emperor meant at this time. He then said, "he still stays in Longxi to recover from the injury. Recently, there was a big mess in the palace. I stayed in the palace to help take care of the chores. I won''t meet him in a short time. The emperor can rest assured... Besides, the girl is in poor health and may not be pregnant all her life..."
