Emperor Xuan Jing is indeed quite annoying.
The severe drought in the north successively affected Shandong, Hebei, Gansu and other areas. Among them, Gansu was severely affected, but its governor concealed the disaster, resulting in a situation where thousands of miles of land were barren and nine out of ten houses were empty by the time the court learned about it.
Emperor Xuan Jing was furious and directly chopped off the head of the Gansu Governor.
The next step was to summon all the ministers to discuss ways to deal with the drought.
He worked day and night, and the ministers followed suit, exhausted. Poor Zuo Xiang, even though he was already old and his beard was white, he still had to come to court before the cockcrow every day. He was not allowed to leave and stayed in the Qianqing Palace for several days.
I heard that he couldn't bear it today and was carried home.
There's nothing we can do. The emperor is full of energy, cares about the people, and is young and strong. He doesn't seem to feel tired when it comes to government affairs. They, with their old bones, can't bear it!
After several days of discussion, they finally came up with a plan for allocating funds for disaster relief and comforting the victims.
The ministers could finally return home.
Wang Fuhai was watching from the side. The emperor did not keep anyone behind today, so when the ministers went back, they all looked so grateful and walked very fast.
All of a sudden, the Qianqing Palace became quiet.
However, after the ministers left, Emperor Xuan Jing had more memorials to submit, but no fewer. Wang Fuhai came in and saw Emperor Xuan Jing marking them with a red pen.
The emperor has only slept for two hours every day these days. Looking at the dark shadows under Emperor Xuan Jing's eyes, Wang Fuhai was very worried. He knew that the emperor was diligent in his work and loved the people, but he also had to take care of his own health.
He stepped forward with the item in his hand and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, this is the ginseng and black chicken soup sent by Concubine Hui."
Emperor Xuan Jing finished reviewing the memorials in his hand, glanced at the small celadon bowl, frowned slightly and said, "Put it aside for now."
Wang Fuhai said yes respectfully. Seeing that the emperor had no intention of drinking, he sighed inwardly and stepped forward to serve the emperor with pen and ink.
Indeed, quite a few concubines have come to deliver gifts these days, but not everyone's things can be put in.
Besides, the Emperor usually wouldn't drink it. Emperor Xuan Jing would only give some face to the Empress when she sent it.
"Your Majesty is diligent in his work and loves his people, but he must also take care of his health. The Empress has instructed me that if you feel unwell, I must summon the imperial physician in time." Wang Fuhai took the opportunity to speak softly.
"Shut up!" Emperor Xuan Jing said lightly, and the red pen and the ivory pen holder made a crisp "click" sound. Wang Fuhai immediately closed his mouth and dared not say more.
The purple gold incense burner in the Palace of Heavenly Purity is stained with ambergris all day long, with green smoke floating in the air and a pleasant fragrance.
Emperor Xuan Jing pressed his aching head, but suddenly remembered the smell of that woman.
He glanced at a small bowl and a savings box on the side of the table.
He hadn't been to the harem for a long time, and the concubines were doing all kinds of things, but it seemed that he had never heard of anything being sent from Qixiang Palace?
Emperor Xuan Jing's eyes suddenly darkened.
Wang Fuhai noticed that the emperor's eyes suddenly turned unfriendly, and then he asked lightly, as if he was just casually asking, "What's going on in Qixiang Palace?"
Wang Fuhai was still a little stunned when he heard the three words "Qixiang Palace". The emperor was asking about Qixiang Palace instead of Changchun Palace or Zhaoyang Palace?
Thinking of Concubine Bai's beautiful little face, Wang Fuhai was shocked. It seemed that Concubine Bai had changed in the emperor's heart.
Fortunately, as a qualified general manager, Wang Fuhai always has information about the movements of the concubines.
Especially... Concubine Bai has been living a very interesting life recently. I heard that she is researching some delicious food and drinks every day, which have never been heard of in the palace, such as cakes, egg tarts, double skin milk and so on.
A lot of them were also given to the Queen, who liked them very much.
Besides, she has been interacting very closely with Lady An recently. On weekdays, either Lady An comes to see Lady Bai, or Lady Bai comes to see Lady An...
Sure enough, after saying this, Emperor Xuan Jing's face became even darker. What a heartless little thing! I'm thinking about her here, but she can't remember me at all!
You're researching delicious food, but you didn't even think of sending me a portion!
As the emperor's face became increasingly cold, the chill began to emanate from his entire body.
Wang Fuhai didn't dare to say more.
However, when the emperor turned over the green card at night, the one he turned over was Concubine Bai's card!
Oh my god, Concubine Bai, what kind of magic potion did you give the emperor?
_
The news that the emperor was coming to Qixiang Palace was like a piece of gravel thrown into the quiet harem, immediately causing a thousand waves.
Qixiang Hall was even more delighted. Except for Bai Susu herself who was a little dazed, Nanchun and Manxia were all very excited!
There is no other reason. The emperor has not been to the harem for many days, but when he returns to the palace, he usually goes to the queen or to Concubine Hui to see the princess!
Their master actually surpassed the Empress and Consort Hui. What does this mean? It means that the Emperor is thinking about his master! How can this not be exciting!
Everyone was ready to go, some were cleaning the house, some were looking for clothes, and some were combing their hair.
Ling Qiu rubbed his hands eagerly and asked, "Master, may I do a flowing cloud bun for you?"
Bai Susu was naturally beautiful and looked good no matter how she dressed up. However, Ling Qiu still felt that his mistress was too casual, sometimes appearing in public with her hair casually tied up.
There is no place to use my skills!
The emperor has finally come back to the harem, and I must let the master surprise him!
Bai Susu saw Ling Qiu's eager look and thought to herself, why does it feel like her maid is more ambitious than me?
This won't do. Although the emperor is not an ordinary man, he is still a man, and she still understands the principle that beauty can be alluring.
She has a mission!
