Chapter 80 The Queen's Marriage
Chu Yunning lost his identity as Princess Xiao and became a third-rank Shanggong, responsible for assisting the queen in handling the harem.
Some people say that the Empress Dowager left people by her to cherish Chu Yunning, and even more so to appease General Chu.
There are many different opinions, and there are all kinds of opinions.
Chu Yunning arranged the first bedtime for Emperor Mingwen in the afternoon, and specially chose a charming and well-behaved person, Meipin.
Less than half an hour after the person was sent, Eunuch Mo called her away.
"The emperor has an order to let Lord Chu go there immediately."
Chu Yunning was confused. She had no habit of watching the game online, but then she thought that Emperor Mingwen could not do it.
It shouldn't be as dirty as she thought, there should be something else.
Facts prove that Chu Yunning overestimated Emperor Mingwen.
Under the candlelight, Meipin was wearing a rose-red gauze that was as thin as a cicada's wings, half-covered, not to mention how charming she was, even she couldn't help but take a look.
"Please pay tribute to the emperor."
Emperor Mingwen didn't raise his head and continued to read the memorials. After waiting for a long time, he squinted his eyes at Chu Yunning;
"It's late at night, I'm a little hungry. I'm sorry, Lord Chu to make some late-night snacks."
Chu Yunning was stunned, and even wanted to curse silently in his heart. Emperor Mingwen looked at the little expression on Chu Yunning's face, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "What, don't you want to?"
I'd like to have a p!
I thought to myself but didn't dare to say it, and just said that I would prepare. Emperor Mingwen lit up the name of the spicy rabbit head.
Chu Yunning paused and thought to himself that why he was so stingy to be an emperor? He just stole a rabbit head during the day and was retribution to the evening?
"Emperor..." Meipin's delicate voice came from his ears, and Chu Yunning's face turned red and she slipped away without stopping.
In the middle of the night, she had to guard the stove to make rabbit heads. The more she thought about it, the more angry she became. So Chu Yunning put a lot of chili peppers in the rabbit head to increase the taste.
"You're so hot!"
Half an hour later, he made a plate of rabbit heads and a pot of sour plum soup. Chu Yunning waited at the door for a long time and heard the child's voice coming from inside, and rolled his eyes speechlessly.
After waiting for almost an hour, she was about to fall asleep before Eunuch Mo put her in. The entire inner hall was filled with ambiguous aura, making people blush and heartbeat.
She had never experienced any incidents between men and women in her previous life. She could have a lovely son without experiencing these things. It was so cost-effective!
"look up!"
A cold sound came from the top.
Chu Yunning looked up and met Emperor Mingwen's face, which seemed to be smiling. To be honest, Emperor Mingwen was very handsome and more feminine than King Xiao.
"Emperor." Chu Yunning raised his tray with his hands high.
Emperor Mingwen squinted his eyes at Eunuch Mo. Eunuch Mo immediately stepped forward to take the tray and handed Chu Yunning a pair of chopsticks: "Mr. Chu, you can try it first according to the rules."
She almost forgot about this and made a mistake!
Every emperor was afraid that someone would poison him, so he would make people try the poison with his body. Chu Yunning did not hesitate to pick up one and bite him.
It was numb and spicy, Chu Yunning forced himself to show it but didn't show it. In fact, his mouth was about to spit out.
"Come on." Emperor Mingwen leaned lazily on the soft collapse, put one hand on his knee, held it with his other hand, and tasted it in a very good manner.
Chu Yunning held back his smile and blinked at Emperor Mingwen innocently. The Empress Dowager did not grow up in the capital. She ate spicy food when she was a child, but Emperor Mingwen was different. He grew up in the palace since he was a child, so he must have never eaten such spicy food.
As expected, Emperor Mingwen put down his chopsticks and drank several bowls of sour plum soup before putting it down.
"Get back." Emperor Mingwen waved his hand, as if I was tired and wanted to rest. Chu Yunning took a deep breath and silently cursed Emperor Mingwen as a tyrant in his heart!
"Chu Yunning, you are scolding me!" Emperor Mingwen looked affirmative.
Chu Yunning was frightened and subconsciously refuted: "I dare not."
The two confronted each other for a while, then Emperor Mingwen said, "I promise you can leave the palace five days a month to organize your industries."
Upon hearing this, Chu Yunning was very happy, and the tyrant became more conscientious.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The next day
After serving in bed, Meipin was named concubine and was named concubine Meipin. There were endless people coming to congratulate her.
In the next few days, other concubines were successively promoted. I don’t know who leaked the news. When I learned that the matter of serving the bed was given to Chu Shanggong, Chu Yunning immediately became a busy concubine and endless concubine.
There were more than a dozen big and small, and some came to ask for it with all their belongings. Chu Yunning thought about it but did not refuse, so he arranged for a night.
"Random, unrestrained, too unrestrained!" The news came to the ears of the palace queen. The queen was furious and even occupied her on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month. This clearly didn't take her seriously!
"Where is Chu Yunning, go and bring her to me!"
Soon the palace maid replied: "Empress, Chu Shanggong said that he would not be free for the time being."
"What?" When the queen heard this, she was even more angry and wanted to tear Chu Yunning apart. She actually didn't take herself seriously because of the queen mother's favor. Damn it!
At this time, a palace maid reported: "Empress, the emperor is here."
The queen instantly turned from anger to joy, tidied up and down, helped her hairpin with her head, got up and went to the door to greet her.
"I wish you a blessing to the emperor."
Emperor Mingwen raised his hand: "The queen doesn't have to be too polite, just sit down."
"I wonder if the emperor is here, do you have any instructions?" The queen asked a few politely, and Emperor Mingwen nodded: "King Xiao is not young anymore, and there is no caring person in the mansion to serve him. You are the queen and the emperor's sister-in-law, so I will organize a marriage for him."
The queen was slightly stunned. This was too sudden and she was not prepared at all.
"But……"
"The Queen Mother never likes you. If you can care about this, the Queen Mother will not make things difficult for you in the future."
After hearing what Emperor Mingwen said, the queen agreed directly: "Don't worry, your elders, leave this matter to me, I will definitely do it properly."
"The sooner this matter, the better. On the one hand, it is to make the mother feel relieved, and on the other hand, someone takes care of King Xiao." Emperor Mingwen looked serious.
"yes!"
At the instigation of Emperor Mingwen, the queen began to work hard, selecting different girls every day, meeting different destiny wives, and asking for news. She had no time to trouble Chu Yunning.
The queen was very fast, and on the third day, she found several suitable candidates, and the queen specially summoned King Xiao.
While waiting for someone, he asked someone to invite Chu Yunning, who was intercepted halfway.
"I wish you a blessing to the Empress."
The queen was in a good mood and raised her hand: "No need to be polite, Chu Shanggong came over to see these paintings."
There were several portraits of a woman on the table. The women in the painting were all outstanding in appearance, and there was also a note next to it about whose girl it was.
The second daughter of the Minister of Personnel, Nian Fang, is a sixteenth child, and is good at music.
The eldest daughter of the Ministry of War, Nian Fang, is 17 years old and has a gentle personality.
...
Count eight people in total.
She didn't understand the queen's meaning, so she asked, "What is the purpose of the Empress asking for me?"
The queen deliberately kept it a secret and smiled mysteriously: "Don't worry, you'll know when everyone comes."
After waiting for half an hour, King Xiao came late.
"My brother, please pay tribute to the emperor's sister-in-law." King Xiao bowed.
"Your Majesty Xiao doesn't have to be polite. Come and see these candidates." The queen pointed to the portrait on one side and said to Chu Yunning: "Chu Shanggong also helps our palace staff and see which lady is suitable for being Princess Xiao."
The queen deliberately bit the three words "Princess Xiao".
Chu Yunning suddenly realized that she was going to choose a wife for King Xiao. The queen stared at Chu Yunning's expression, trying to see the expression of loss, shock, and unwillingness on her face.
After staring for a long time, the queen was disappointed. Chu Yunning was very calm, as if she didn't care at all.
It must be pretending!
The queen said excitedly again: "Chu Shanggong was once the person next to King Xiao's pillow. He must know King Xiao's preferences very well. Help King Xiao choose a satisfactory girl."
King Xiao looked at Chu Yunning with a serious look on his face, his eyes darkened slightly. He knew all the news in the palace these days.
After Heli, he regretted it and thought that one day he would enter the palace to apologize, and then tear Heli Shu apart and reconcile with Chu Yunning.
Today is just an opportunity. After a while, Chu Yunning will cry and beg for mercy. He will plead for her in front of the queen and say a few good things. They will make up with the flow.
"King Xiao likes gentleness. With my eyes, it's very good that the daughter of the Minister of War is also very good. Miss Li is gentle and understanding. This girl Zhang is even more excellent. She is proficient in both chess and calligraphy and painting. Once she marrys into the Xiao Palace, she can still be harmonious with King Xiao Qinse. It's simply a beautiful conversation!"
Chu Yunning pointed to the portrait seriously: "The Empress has a good vision. Every girl on this is very good. If King Xiao doesn't dislike him, he can choose a few more people to enter the mansion."
"You!" King Xiao's face changed slightly. He looked at Chu Yunning with a calm look. He couldn't help but wonder, did she really not care anymore?
The queen was half-believing and half-doubted: "Chu Shanggong, can you take what you said seriously? Once the marriage is decided, Princess Xiao will be in the future."
Chu Yunning pretended to be puzzled: "What does the Empress mean? Are you questioning the Emperor's decision?"
"You!" The queen was choked and said angrily: "I don't know what's wrong, I regret it in the future, don't blame me for not reminding you!"
Chu Yunning raised his jaw and said very seriously: "A good horse will not eat the grass back. Since he has made a choice, he will never regret it. I believe that the same is true for Prince Xiao."
King Xiao was angry and clenched his fists tightly and hummed coldly: "I am the same. Just as Chu Shanggong said, I will take the daughter of the Minister of the Shangshu as a concubine today and ask the emperor's sister-in-law to take the marriage."
