But this, this, this...how do I say this?
The General Auxiliary State secretly glanced at his other colleagues. Those colleagues had been dragged down by him and were so disheartened that they didn't want to pay any attention to him.
He closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and confessed!
"Your Majesty, today's incident is all my fault!"
"I caught a young eunuch a while ago and learned that the Emperor and the Empress... ahem, summoned hot water in the dead of night. I was shocked!"
"So the old minister grabbed several other colleagues and shared this great news with them!"
"But this old minister is not disrespectful to Your Majesty. This old minister is praising Your Majesty!"
"Tell them, Your Majesty, that you may not be as strong as me, but Your Majesty is a fierce and powerful man with extraordinary talents. You are not an ordinary person!"
"After all, when I was young, my wife and I would only fight for an hour or so before we rested. But Your Majesty, you fought bravely until dawn!"
When Feng Changye heard this, his face turned colorful. He really wanted this old general to retire and go back to raising pigs!
What kind of unscrupulous military thugs are these!
How dare you say anything? You're such a jerk!
He dared to bet that the Prime Minister and other educated people would never gather together to secretly discuss such private topics!
Feng Changye was almost mad with anger, but the General Auxiliary State didn't even raise his head to see his expression, and continued to speak -
"Your Majesty, yesterday afternoon I saw the toad blood on the Empress's arm. After returning home, I was still wondering, Your Majesty, is this not okay?"
"If you can't, I have some medicinal wine. It's a folk remedy offered to me by my subordinates when I was stationed in the southwest. It's extremely powerful and effective!"
"I was still thinking about how to secretly give you the prescription without hurting your dignity, Your Majesty, while also pleasing you. Now it seems that I was worrying too much!"
"Your Majesty, with your current health, you don't need to take any medicine. We, the old ministers, can just wait and see the birth of the little prince next year!"
After the General Auxiliary State finished speaking in a loud and generous manner, he realized that the other old generals had already lowered their heads to the ground silently.
And when they turned their heads to look at him, they all wanted to kick this stupid teammate of his to the sky!
He was stunned for a moment, then silently put his forehead on the floor tiles.
Damn, did he say the wrong thing again?
But wasn’t he praising the emperor for his greatness?
He mustered up the courage to ask tremblingly, "Your Majesty, have I been too presumptuous?"
“…”It’s incredible!
You actually know that you are being outrageous!
Feng Changye stared at the old general, his expression so ugly that it was beyond words!
He is very embarrassed and angry now!
Because he didn't consummate his marriage with the Queen last night, he is not the powerful figure who can fight until dawn as the old general said, he is still an "incompetent" emperor!
The General who Assists the State actually dared to mention this in front of him. It would be strange if he wasn't angry!
He was so angry that he immediately said, "The General of the State was disrespectful to me. He will be fined one year's salary and sent back to his house to reflect on his mistakes for a month! If it weren't for the fact that you are my grandfather, I would definitely give you another twenty strokes of the cane!"
He gritted his teeth and looked at the other three. "General Zhenjun, General Guanjun, General Huaihua, all will be fined half a year's salary!"
The other three felt relieved.
It’s just half a year’s salary, no problem!
"Your Majesty, I thank you for your grace!"
The General who assisted the country also thanked him with a bitter face.
It's good enough that I didn't get beaten with a military stick...
He never dared to talk about the emperor again!
But he just didn't understand. He had clearly praised the emperor for his vigor and fighting prowess, so why did the emperor still punish him?
He can't figure it out!
Feng Changye glanced at the few people, flicked his sleeves coldly, and turned away angrily!
He is very angry now!
If he saw these old faces here again, he was afraid that he would not be able to resist kicking them!
At times like this, he particularly hoped that there would be only civil officials in the court and no military generals, because these military generals were really irritating!
At this moment, the Prime Minister and others, whom he regarded as elegant, were working while discussing what happened last night.
"Just now, I met that kid from the Ji family, and he told me a piece of good news."
The Left Prime Minister stroked his beard and spoke to the others with a smile.
"The Empress stayed in Taiji Hall with the Emperor last night. At midnight, the Emperor and Empress summoned hot water."
When the others heard this, they were overjoyed!
It is indeed a happy event!
They no longer have to worry about the emperor dying!
Then, several people looked at each other subtly.
"In the middle of the night..."
Several people exchanged glances and smiled knowingly.
I really didn't realize that their emperor was so brave...
They are ashamed of themselves!
…
Feng Changye had no idea that everyone was talking about him and the Queen. He thought that everything would be fine if he punished those reckless men.
After returning to the rear hall, changing into casual clothes and having a meal, he found that the queen was still nowhere to be seen, so he asked the eunuchs serving her.
"Why hasn't the Queen come back yet?"
The young eunuch who served her had a good relationship with Suqiu, so he was naturally willing to speak for Suqiu's master.
He secretly glanced at Feng Changye and whispered, "The Empress Dowager was favored last night. I'm sure after she goes to Shoukang Palace, the other concubines will pester the Empress Dowager and ask her to persuade the Emperor to treat all the concubines in the harem equally and not just favor the Empress Dowager..."
He didn't say it explicitly, but Feng Changye understood what he meant.
Those concubines would definitely bully Zhu Wuhuan in front of their mother.
The Queen Mother already held a grudge against Zhu Wuhuan because of what happened yesterday. Now that she had a legitimate excuse to find fault with him, how could Zhu Wuhuan get away with it?
He immediately put down the bowl and stood up!
"Follow me to Shoukang Palace!"
He was not worried that Zhu Wuhuan would be bullied, he was worried about Zhu Wuhuan's bad temper. If he was bullied, he would just punch everyone in Shoukang Palace and beat them down!
…
At this moment, in Shoukang Palace, Zhu Wuhuan was indeed angry.
When she had met the concubines at Changle Palace before, they were all very well behaved. After paying their respects to her, no one said much and they all followed her to Shoukang Palace to pay their respects to the empress dowager.
Who knew that those black-hearted women were just pretending to be good!
After arriving at Shoukang Palace, their true colors were revealed one by one!
As soon as she entered the hall, Concubine Li behind her passed her first and went straight to the Queen Mother, congratulating her with a sweet smile.
"Empress Dowager, great joy! The Emperor favored the Empress last night. Soon, you will be able to hold a chubby, smart, and adorable little prince!"
“…” Zhu Wuhuan suddenly sighed in his heart!
Here it comes, this damn palace fight, it’s finally here!
Even if she was really favored by Feng Changye last night, it is impossible for her to get pregnant after sleeping with him for one night!
Concubine Li deliberately congratulated the Queen Mother in public, acting as if she was already pregnant with an heir to the throne. Wasn't she just trying to put pressure on her?
Maybe, he wants her to be so nervous about getting pregnant quickly that she can't eat or sleep!
