pet queen [rebirth]

Chapter 47 Jinjiang Exclusive

By the time the enthronement ceremony was over, it was getting late, Xiao Qian returned to Qianming Hall, Xiao Luzi had already prepared dinner.

It has been a long time since Xiao Qian sat down to have a dinner in such a peaceful way. Before, he was always in a hurry to settle things, and then there were a lot of things waiting for him to deal with.

So did Su Mingmo. He was busy arranging the extra palace people in the harem. Since the Empress Dowager delegated power, the inner affairs of the harem also needed to be handed over. Xiao Qian really had no time to worry about these things, so Su Mingmo took the initiative to do it for him.

This evening was actually a rare time for them to be free and not need to rush to deal with heavy affairs.

Su Mingmo was not used to the thought of having nothing to do after dinner at night.

Xiao Qian still has a lot of memorials that need to be approved, but that's all for tonight, and the rest is not important, so we can leave it for tomorrow.

Su Mingmo picked up a piece of fish, carefully picked out the thorns, and put it in Xiao Qian's bowl: "Taste this fish, it's very fresh."

Xiao Qian didn’t have time to eat fish when he was dealing with state affairs, so the Imperial Dining Room would not prepare it for him. Today was the first time he tasted the fish steamed by the Imperial Dining Room after entering the palace, and Su Mingmo personally picked it up for him Xiao Qian took a sip and said, "It's very sweet."

Su Mingmo was taken aback, how could steamed fish be sweet?

He hurriedly took a sip himself, and found that Xiao Qian was teasing him, and immediately blushed: "The emperor is joking."

He remembered that just after the ceremony was over, Xiao Qian went to change clothes, and the queen mother sent someone to inquire, asking if she could continue to take charge of the internal affairs of the harem.

It was Xiao Qian's idea to let the Queen Mother delegate power. Since the founding of the Jin Dynasty, the Cheng family had produced several generations of queens, but it became a special case for Su Mingmo.

What does the Queen Mother mean? Xiao Qian understood that she managed to keep the Queen Mother's position through Xiao Qian, so she naturally wanted to keep strengthening it, and even wanted to keep their Cheng family's "Share the World" status.

Therefore, Su Mingmo always mentioned to Xiao Qian what the Queen Mother sent people to bring up during the day, Xiao Qian said, "Don't talk to me, Ziyu, I won't talk about serious things tonight."

Su Mingmo thought for a while and said: "The queen mother is different from those old officials in the previous court. The former ministers opposed the emperor... the establishment of the empress was all because it did not conform to the etiquette system. At that time, the queen mother did not say a word, even the movement of delegating power It's also very fast, I'm afraid it's just to negotiate terms with the emperor."

Xiao Qian sneered and said: "I guessed it a long time ago, I will go talk to her tomorrow morning."

Su Mingmo reminded him: "Your Majesty, the Cheng family is no better than those difficult ministers. Think of the Huaibei King, Jingyang King... sitting on ten thousand acres of fiefdom, and even the gold medal arrows bestowed on them by the emperor. The reason why they tried their best to weaken the Cheng family was because they were afraid of them, but they failed. Although the emperor dealt with it in a timely manner, the King Duan's rebellion hurt the vitality of the country to some extent. Only the Cheng family where the queen mother lived , not a single sound, and even at the emperor's enthronement ceremony, King Jingyang said he was sick, so it's self-evident what they are thinking."

Xiao Qian also put a piece of pickled fish into Su Mingmo's bowl: "The one who knows me is Ziyu. I am so relieved that Ziyu can think of me like this. I know everything you said I will find a way to deal with it."

Su Mingmo said embarrassedly: "The emperor is so smart, he must have thought of this without Ziyu reminding him, Ziyu is probably talking too much."

Xiao Qian smiled and said: "No, Ziyu can be said to be my military adviser, but Su Junshi. He just finished the post-sealing ceremony today. A year ago, Ziyu entered my palace and performed the ceremony of husband and wife with me, but he did not marry him. In fact, if we perform the ceremony of husband and wife again today, will we be able to pay back what we owe?"

"Cough, cough, cough!" Su Mingmo blushed from being choked by himself.

After one night, Su Mingmo woke up from his dream.

There was more noise outside, and it was time for Xiao Qian to get up and go to court for a stick of incense.

He moved slightly, and found that Xiao Qian had a hand on his waist.

Su Mingmo turned his head and saw Xiao Qian's peaceful sleeping face.

He gently traced Xiao Qian's face with his eyes.

These facial features make him feel like he likes it no matter how he looks at it.

When Su Mingmo came out of Yushitai Prison last year, when he first saw Xiao Qian, he always felt a sense of fate.

That feeling is different from the encounter with the boy Xiao Qian when he was seven years old, it is more like fate in a certain sense.

Su Mingmo woke up not long ago, and Xiao Qian also woke up. He opened his eyes and asked softly, "What time is it?"

"It's time to wake up in one stick of incense." Su Mingmo replied.

Xiao Qian laughed: "There is still time."

His voice was a little hoarse after he just woke up, and his eyes were still hazy, but he lifted the quilt, wrapped himself and Su Mingmo, and wrapped him in his arms.

"Your Majesty?" Su Mingmo was taken aback, "This...it's too late!"

Xiao Qian tormented him for half the night last night, almost breaking his waist, and he came back this early in the morning.

"It's too late..." Xiao Qian turned over and lowered his head to kiss him.

Both of them will have time to wash up in the future, so don't dislike the other.

Su Mingmo thought Xiao Qian was going to do something else, but fortunately they only kissed, and Xiao Luzi came to remind them: "Your Majesty, it's time to get up."

Xiao Qian was already awake, lifted the quilt and sat up.

Su Mingmo also quickly tidied up his underwear.

Xiao Qian saw that he was tidying up, so he said to Xiao Luzi: "Come in."

Xiao Luzi was busy, and began to change clothes for Xiao Qian.

Xiao Qian was still tossing around with him, and after a while, he suddenly said: "Zi Yu, have you found the "Book of Boudoirs" that was lost earlier?"

"..." Su Mingmo was startled, and looked up at him.

Xiao Qian laughed: "Since there is such a good thing, if Ziyu finds it, don't keep it private, we can study it together in private."

Su Mingmo: "..."

Xiao Qian deliberately teased him, and sure enough, Su Mingmo's face turned red again after a while.

Xiao Luzi was castrated and entered the palace since he was a child. He has never been in touch with men and women. Of course he doesn't know what the "Book of Boudoirs" is. He looked at Xiao Qian and then at Su Mingmo. What kind of riddle is playing in front of you.

However, because someone was present, Su Mingmo wished he could find a place to sneak in.

Fortunately, Xiao Luzi went out in a short while, and then one after another, court ladies came in to serve Su Mingmo. After cleaning his face, Su Mingmo put on his clothes, and only then did he feel the heat on his face disappear.

After the morning court, Xiao Qian didn't go to the imperial study to get busy with business, but went to Ren'an Palace first.

The Empress Dowager has already moved out from the Yonghe Palace, because Su Mingmo has been living in the Qianming Palace, and the officials have a lot of opinions. Xiao Qian doesn't care about these, but he is afraid that Su Mingmo will not be disturbed, so he has already ordered the original The Yonghe Palace should be repaired and renamed, and after Su Mingmo lives in, Xiao Qian will stay there with him.

Ren'an Palace is where the Empress Dowager lives now, she no longer needs to take medicine, the smell of many herbs is gone in the palace, knowing that Xiao Qian is coming, the Empress Dowager sat on the couch and waited early in the morning, when she saw Xiao Qian enter the door, she faintly Authentic: "The emperor is here."

Xiao Qian knelt down and said, "Qian'er sees the Queen Mother."

"Come on," the queen mother put the tea bowl in her hand aside, "before all the officials opposed you to become a queen, but the Ai family never stopped it. Now that you have fulfilled your wish, should you also think about it for your mother?"

Liu Yue offered Xiao Qian a cup of tea.

Xiao Qian sat down and took a sip and said, "Qian'er doesn't understand what the queen mother means."

"You are so smart, why don't you understand?" The queen mother said, "The queen is a man, and she is destined not to have a queen. If you don't accept a concubine as soon as possible, do you want to wait for the future, when the world of Jin falls into the hands of people with foreign surnames? "

Xiao Qian said indifferently: "Why would my mother think so? Da Jin belongs to the Xiao family, and I will return the world to the Xiao family in the future."

The queen mother didn't notice that Xiao Qian said "return": "Then what do you want to do? Let the current queen give you a child?"

The queen mother herself thought it was a bit ridiculous to say this, but she heard Xiao Qian say: "Didn't I leave a sixth younger brother for the Xiao family?"

"What did you say?!" The Queen Mother was shocked and almost knocked over the teacup in her hand, "Do you know what you are talking about?"

Although Concubine Yun was not born in a family of empresses like the Empress Dowager, her family was also distinguished.

Now the Yun family also has many fiefdoms in Suzhou and Yangzhou.

If the Yun family gains power, what will happen to the Cheng family in the future?

The queen mother thought to herself, could it be that the Ai family bet on the wrong treasure?

She said earnestly: "Qian'er, the Ai family is not trying to force you. After you pass the throne to Xiao Yuanrui in the future, I am afraid it will be inappropriate. After all, the nephews and nephews are not close. Besides, you managed to rebel against Xiao Yuanqi there." What is the purpose of taking the country in your hands?"

"The Ai family doesn't ask you to enjoy the rain and dew in the harem. You like the queen and dote on him. That's what you should do, but... you must at least save yourself a queen!"

Xiao Qian said with a smile: "The queen mother thinks that I have worked so hard to win the country from Xiao Yuanqi for what?"

The queen mother was taken aback by his question.

"The former emperor, the first crown prince, Xiao Yuanqi, and even most of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, before I ascended the throne, did not think that my surname was Xiao, and they all said that I was the son of a foreign clan."

"Mother, if you hadn't been bound together with me by force, you probably would have felt the same way, right?"

"What are you talking about..." The Empress Dowager's eyes flickered slightly.

"I just want to survive," Xiao Qian said, "What did my mother do wrong? What did my grandfather's hundreds of soldiers do wrong? Just because they are foreigners and people from the Western Regions, they were ruthlessly exterminated by the late emperor. We If I don't struggle to crawl out of the mud, I, and the people I cherish and love, will probably go to hell with me!"

"Queen, tell me, why did I seize the throne?"

The Empress Dowager was amazed, her thoughts turned, and she seemed to grasp a clue, but she didn't quite understand it: "You already knew about the Princess of the Western Regions? Then..."

"Queen mother, if you live in peace, I can promise you that you will spend the rest of your life in the palace with the imperial grandmother. After a hundred years, you will enter the imperial mausoleum. Everything will be done according to the highest ancestral system. I will not touch your Cheng family either. What happens to your Cheng family in the future, it has nothing to do with me, but if you want to intervene, force me, or use the queen to force me, let me do something I don't want to do... then don't blame me for being rude gone."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Qian took his leave, got up and left Ren'an Palace.

After Xiao Qian left, the Empress Dowager stared blankly at his back, and said to Liu Yue: "Liu Yue, what do you think he wants to do?"

After she finished speaking, unconsciously, she felt a faint chill rise up behind her back.
