In the blink of an eye, it was the fourth year of Zhengxing.
In total, this is already the fifth year of the emperor's accession to the throne. Because the first year of Zhengxing is counted from the first spring after the new emperor ascended the throne, a long time has actually passed.
There is still no joy of new life in the palace, there are still only a few concubines, and it is said that some of them will not be able to see the emperor for a whole year.
On the contrary, it was Ye Zhiqiu's Liangyi Hall. The emperor went there almost every day, either to talk about scriptures or to meditate.
If the emperor was not responsible for the affairs of the court and often went to sit in the imperial concubine's palace, they would have thought that the emperor was preparing to close the palace for repairs.
In mid-February, Mrs. Chiang entered the palace and talked about Jiang Hua's marriage.
Jiang Qing said: "My brother is only fourteen this year. Why did my mother suddenly talk about this?"
Mrs. Jiang said: "I just mentioned it casually. Children grow up quickly. I want you to take it to heart."
"The same goes for you. Your mother has also figured it out. If she had known that the emperor still cared for the Jiang family, she shouldn't have sent you to the palace. Now that you are like this and you don't have a child by your side, how can you tell your mother to feel relieved?
"
Jiang Qing said quickly: "Mother has forgotten that my body is not suitable for pregnancy."
Madam Jiang's eyes turned red and she whispered: "You still want to lie to me. I asked Madam Lu before entering the palace, and she said that there is nothing wrong with you and the Emperor's health."
Jiang Qing was stunned, thinking that her mother would still ask?
But she didn't even sleep with the emperor, so how could she have a child? She said, "His Royal Highness is very protective of me, mother, don't worry."
Mrs. Jiang knew that she could not be persuaded, and she felt guilty for her, so she said: "Your brother has become the prince's companion and can see you often. He said that the prince treats you as an aunt, and you and the emperor still get along like brother and sister.
.”
"Qingqing, listen to your mother. Girls take the initiative, and it's hard for a man to refuse. What's more, you are still his woman in name. When you actually have a child, your mother won't ask for anything but you for the rest of your life.
Just be safe and sound."
Jiang Qing remained silent and did not respond.
Mrs. Jiang sighed and left an erotic picture album behind before leaving.
Jiang Qing didn't know either, because the envelope said "Night Flow", so she casually glanced at it and didn't care, because she was thinking about what her mother said to her, and she was depressed.
The emperor is a very nice person, better than she imagined.
After getting along with him day and night, she gradually discovered that he was a person with a delicate mind and rich emotions. He just kept himself to himself and kept his heart introverted. Unlike other people, his happiness and anger were all on the surface.
She would also be worried when she saw that the prince's heirs were few and far between. Every time she heard the prince cough, she couldn't even sleep well at night.
I wanted to persuade the emperor several times, but I thought that the emperor was so smart, how could he not think of these things, but the emperor didn't mention it, there must be his own reasons.
Jiang Qing decided to find an opportunity to ask Hua Zimo. He grew up with the emperor and must know something about the inside story.
If we could untie the knot in the emperor's heart, maybe everything would be different?
Jiang Qing thought, if it is solved, will some new people be admitted to the palace?
Although she didn't think the emperor would do that, she still felt a little uncomfortable. After all, she was used to this pace of life and didn't want to be disrupted, let alone deal with other women.
However, if you really want to help, you can't just go along with your own ideas, nor can you want to be the same as before.
So even if there was any discomfort, she could only overcome it by herself.
After convincing herself, Jiang Qing prepared dinner. The emperor had been coming here to have dinner recently, saying that the Qinzheng Palace was too stuffy, so it would be nice to go out for a walk to relax.
Jiang Qing also felt that there were mountains of excerpts there, ancient books all over the bookshelves, and even the books that had been read beside the bed, didn't it give people a dull feeling of just burying their heads in marking and reading hard?
Her Qiyun Palace is still better. The flowers and trees planted are all well maintained, as if they were brought out from the flower shed. Every pot is full of vitality, which makes people feel happy just looking at it.
In order for the emperor to take a nap, she also arranged a tea room in the Dongnuan Pavilion of Qiyun Palace, which became her and the emperor's favorite place to stay. The sun was very sunny there and the room was soft, so you could lie down when you were tired.
Once.
Burn incense and play the piano, sit and listen to the sound of rain, and read a book in your free time. It's very nice.
Jiang Qing was just tidying up inside, sorting out some of the books he had read and replacing them with a new batch.
As a result, the emperor walked in and asked, "Want to help?"
Jiang Qing didn't expect the emperor to come so early, and she seemed a little surprised for a moment.
She was holding a thick stack of books and was about to go back to her study.
The emperor stepped forward and took it.
There will inevitably be some physical contact between the two people. The emperor is okay and just wants to help.
Jiang Qing seemed a little embarrassed, and even her ears were red. It happened that two books were piled too high and fell directly on her chest.
The emperor couldn't get it, so he held the book in both hands and said, "Be careful."
Jiang Qing's face turned red, as if she was on fire. She took it off quickly and said "hmm" like a mosquito.
Then she took the two books and followed the emperor to her study.
The shelves in the study are full of her little things.
There are small green dragons and small phoenixes carved from wood. There are also small ceramic ducks and small fish.
Among them, a pair of small fishes are kissing, which is cute, yet warm and sweet.
The emperor couldn't help but reach out and take a look.
Jiang Qing blushed and explained: "Mrs. Lu gave it to me, it's called a kissing fish."
The emperor couldn't help but smile and said: "Only she can give you these weird gadgets."
"And this." Jiang Qing showed the emperor a little beauty with a pouty mouth. It was also made of ceramic and was specially fired.
"Anyway, they are sold out in the market and cannot be imitated by others. Mrs. Lu left a set for me. I still have many more here."
After saying that, he found a few beauties and showed them to the emperor. They were in a palace style, very graceful and luxurious.
The emperor looked at it carefully, and then he saw the logo of the Ji family firm on the bottom of the firing, and said: "Ji Yunwei's wish to be the richest man in the country should be coming soon, right?"
Jiang Qing said happily: "I heard from my cousin that my cousin-in-law wanted to build a treasure house for the children, but he thought the treasure map he drew was too simple, so he asked his cousin to draw it for him."
"He also said that he would build many treasure hiding spots in the house and let the children hunt for them to train their concentration."
While they were talking, the two people came out of the study and were going to sit in the tea room.
There was just enough water to pass around the meal, so they sat down in the flower hall.
The emperor's eyes fell on the book "Light of Night". He found it interesting just by looking at the name, so he took it and opened it.
After opening it, I was stunned for a while, and then closed it silently.
Just as the palace people filed in, Yu Deshui smiled and opened the curtain, looking very happy.
The emperor said: "Give this book to your concubine and put it in the inner hall."
Although Yu Deshui was surprised, he finally did as he was told.
Jiang Qing was placing bowls and chopsticks for the emperor. When she heard this, she asked, "Is there anything wrong?"
The emperor shook his head and said, "What did my aunt say when she came today?"
Jiang Qing was stunned and shook her head.
The emperor looked at her shy expression, and suddenly thought of where the two books had been left. For a moment, he felt a little hot in his body, and he didn't even know where to put his eyes.
