Chapter 351: The Little Scholar in Male Disguise and the Amazing Emperor 8
Yelu Zongzhen stepped into Shou'an Palace with a heavy heart.
Seeing his expression, the Queen Mother asked with concern: "What's wrong? Did the donation go wrong?"
Yelu Zongzheng said absentmindedly: "The donation went smoothly."
"That's because the newly promoted top scholar is not very useful."
The beauty who looked exactly like Cha Jiu in his dream appeared before his eyes again. Yelu Zongzheng pursed his lips and said after a while, "He's fine."
The Queen Mother was puzzled and could not figure out the reason, so she guessed: "Maybe he had a nightmare."
This time Yelu Zongzhen didn't say anything.
The Queen Mother thought that he was disturbed by state affairs in his dream, so she comforted him, "Don't worry, this dream and reality are opposite, don't take it to heart."
Unexpectedly, after saying these comforting words, Yelu Zongzheng's eyes became even more disappointed.
"..." Even the usually smart empress dowager was confused by him.
It's just a nightmare. Is there anything to be reluctant about?
Nanny Gui, who was serving the Empress Dowager, stood beside the dining table. While serving the dishes, she reminded her master with her eyes not to forget the purpose of having dinner with His Majesty today.
The Queen Mother finally came back to her senses and brought up the topic: "Your Majesty, it has been more than a year since you ascended the throne, but the position of Queen has been vacant for a long time. This is not a good thing for the former dynasty or the harem. The candidate for Queen should be considered as soon as possible, and the matter of establishing a Queen should not be delayed any longer."
Yelu Zongzhen is now twenty-six years old. Not to mention in the Central Plains, even in the grasslands, men of this age would have married and had children.
But he has never even touched a woman.
Yelu Zongzheng just lowered his head and ate his meal, saying perfunctorily, "No hurry."
The Queen Mother sighed, put down her chopsticks, and looked worried: "I know you experienced bad things when you were young, and you have little interest in women. But now you are the emperor of a country. Choosing a queen and having children are no longer your personal likes and dislikes, but state affairs that are watched by the people of the world. You can't be perfunctory."
This is an unbearable evil thing that I cannot bear to recall, and it is disgusting to talk about it.
Yelu Zongzhen was not the Khan's biological son, but his nephew.
Since the Khan was unable to have children, he adopted him as his own son and raised him as the next ruler of the grassland.
Unexpectedly, Khatun was attracted by Yelu Zongzhen's appearance and wanted to marry her to the new lord after the old Khan's death to continue her position as the last ruler of the grassland.
So, she actually seduced Yelu Zongzheng, who was only eight years old at the time, and even ordered someone to give him a strong drug, brought him into the tent and tried to forcibly molest him...
Fortunately, the Queen Mother brought people to the scene in time and castrated the old woman alive.
The Khan did not say anything, and the matter was over. However, Yelu Zongzheng was still traumatized by women and sex, and was not interested in them.
"Don't worry, mother. I will find someone to take the position of empress." Yelu Zongzhen drank the soup in the bowl, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and said lightly.
"So what kind of woman do you like? There must be a standard." The Queen Mother was worried that this was just his perfunctory words.
Unexpectedly, Yelu Zongzheng really thought about it and said, "You need someone who is smart, well-read, and full of talent. He can criticize current problems and hit the nail on the head."
"She is more straightforward and doesn't go around in circles."
"She's good-looking. She's good-looking even in a crowd of people."
Eunuch Zhang, who was standing nearby, felt something was wrong as he listened.
His Majesty's description of this person... the more I listen, the more he sounds like Lord He Yanyang.
The Queen Mother was also confused: "You are choosing a queen, not a top scholar, what do you need such a talented person for?"
Yelu Zongzhen himself was stunned for a moment.
"Forget it, forget it." The Queen Mother waved her hands and said, "I do have a candidate here, the youngest daughter of Grand Tutor Lin, Lin Qinglan. It's a coincidence that she happens to be a famous talented woman in the capital, and she meets your requirements."
Yelu Zongzheng didn't even think about it: "Not interested."
This kid!
The Queen Mother suppressed the urge to roll her eyes and said patiently, "Don't refuse yet. The Miss Lin will attend the Xiyuan Gathering the day after tomorrow. Go and take a look at her first. If you don't like her, I won't say anything. Your own Queen can make the decision herself."
Just don't not marry.
The Empress Dowager had said this, and Yelu Zongzheng could no longer refuse, so he agreed.
When he returned to Yangxin Palace, Xiao Shunzi came forward to serve him tea.
"Where is Yan Yang? Let him come over and discuss a few games with me." Yelu Zongzheng pressed his brows, closed his eyes and said in annoyance.
Xiao Shunzi replied, "Master He has already gone back."
Yelu Zongzheng paused, seemingly unable to react, "He went back."
"Yes, Your Majesty, Madam He is pregnant, and Lord He hurried home to have dinner with her."
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but Xiao Shunzi always felt that His Majesty’s face darkened a little after hearing these words.
This
He probably said something right.
Xiao Shunzi was shocked for a moment.
Yelu Zongzheng said nothing more.
However, when he sat at his desk to review memorials, he complained that the tea was too cold, and then that the palace was too hot, so he sent a palace maid to bring in ice cubes. In short, these things that were the same as usual now did not please him at all.
It took him a long time to finish reading the memorials in his hand.
Yelu Zongzheng always imagined what Chajiu looked like at home.
At this moment, is he eating with his wife at the table, talking and laughing, or has he finished his meal and is drinking tea and appreciating the moon in the yard, or is he lying on the couch, discussing the names of his future children?
Thinking of this, Yelu Zongzheng felt inexplicably irritated.
But he didn't know why he was upset.
"Little Shunzi."
"The servant is here."
Xiao Shunzi hurried forward.
Unable to suppress the strange emotions in his heart, Yelu Zongzheng simply threw away the memorial and ordered: "I will leave the palace in plain clothes the day after tomorrow. Go and prepare two sets of civilian clothes, one for me and the other... for Lord He."
Go and meet the daughter of Grand Master Lin.
By the way, you can also visit the scenery of the capital with Yan Yang.
…
Last time, Cha Jiu received the 100 taels of gold rewarded by Yelu Zongzheng, and he did not hesitate to spend it.
She gave He Yanyang the best medicine, which not only controlled his injuries but also replenished his previously depleted energy and blood. After the system tested his body, it also said that there was a high chance that he would wake up.
She also bought Shen some pregnancy-protecting supplements suitable for her physical condition, and some soft, comfortable and beautiful clothes.
Shen refused repeatedly, her eyes full of heartache: "You earned all these by working hard in the court every day. How can you waste them on buying me these expensive things? Hurry up and give them up, and buy yourself something nice!"
Cha Jiu put the things back into her hands, looked into her eyes and said seriously: "You are my sister-in-law and my brother's first wife. We are a family. Since we have shared hardships, why can't we share wealth and happiness?"
"Besides, we He brothers and sisters owe you a lot. If you hadn't taken care of everything during these years, my brother would definitely not have been able to concentrate on his imperial examinations, and I would have died of smallpox long ago."
At that time, the original body was diagnosed with smallpox. Thanks to Shen's pawning of her only dowry jewelry, in exchange for silver to buy medicine, and her personal care every day, the original body was able to recover.
This alone is enough for Cha Jiu to be nice to her for the rest of her life.
