This, this Xi Xiurong is too bold, isn't it?
That's not a rope!
It's a snake!
A snake!
How can you just take it?
Emperor Jingli and the Queen Mother spoke together: "Xi Xiurong, be careful!"
Liao Qingqing looked at Emperor Jingli, then turned to the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother pointed at the little green snake and said: "Xi Xiurong, be careful it hurts you."
"Yes. Thank you Queen Mother for your concern, I will pay attention." Liao Qingqing said.
"What are you going to do now?" The Queen Mother asked.
Liao Qingqing held the little green snake steadily and said: "I will release it."
"Yes, release it."
"Put it in the small river next to it."
"Go."
Liao Qingqing turned and walked to the river, and put the little green snake on the ground.
The little green snake crawled to the water's edge and quickly dived into the water.
It disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Liao Qingqing then walked up to the Queen Mother and said, "Queen Mother, the little green snake has gone."
The Queen Mother put her hands together and chanted, "Amitabha."
The ministers, guards, soldiers and farmers beside her all breathed a sigh of relief, and then they came forward to apologize, saying that they were not thorough in their inspections, causing the little green snake to disturb the Queen Mother and the concubines.
Please punish me, Queen Mother.
As soon as the words fell, the surroundings suddenly became quiet
. The Queen Mother's face was tense and she didn't say anything .
Emperor Jingli frowned slightly.
Liao Qingqing didn't understand why the atmosphere suddenly became solemn.
She looked at the Queen Mother and Emperor Jingli in surprise, and suddenly understood something.
The Queen Mother and Emperor Jingli were worried.
Plowing the registered fields in person is a ritual that started a long time ago.
"Qin Geng" means that the court attaches great importance to farming, and "Ji Tian" means auspicious ceremony.
Together, it is a kind of auspicious ceremony for the emperor to pray to the heaven for good weather and good harvest.
Since it is an auspicious ceremony, everything should be auspicious.
The little green snake is a kind of evil monster in front of the auspicious ceremony.
It suddenly appeared to attract everyone's attention.
It was an accident.
It is also a symbol of bad luck.
The ministers just wanted to apologize without studying the deeper meaning.
If Emperor Jingli and the Queen Mother admitted the disturbance of the little green snake, they would admit that it was bad luck!
This is a shake to Emperor Jingli's prestige as the emperor.
After thinking this through, Liao Qingqing couldn't help but speak up: "Your Majesty, Queen Mother, I have heard a saying among the people, 'When green snakes make noises, loaches jump, rain is coming'. Now is a time when there is a lack of rain. Your Majesty said yesterday that it would be good if it rained, but I didn't expect the little green snake to appear today. This must be because your sincere farming moved the heavens, and the little green snake came to predict the emperor. So this is not a crime or not, it is clearly a good omen." The
Queen Mother's eyes lit up when she heard this.
Emperor Jingli looked at Liao Qingqing.
Liao Qingqing quietly glanced at the farmers.
The farmer seemed to have thought of something and said, "Yes, yes, yes, our ancestors have a saying, 'When green snakes make noises and loaches jump, it will rain', and 'When dragonflies fly low, bring a raincoat and a hat when you go out', it's going to rain."
When the Minister of Revenue heard this, he immediately realized that he had knelt down and said something wrong, and immediately broke out in a sweat, and his legs went limp.
He quickly changed his words and said in a sonorous and powerful voice, "Xi Xiurong is right. It is our ministers who are stupid and fail to understand the intention of the little green snake. This is clearly a good omen. Your Majesty is ploughing the fields, and it is a blessing from heaven. Long live the emperor!"
When he said the last sentence, the Minister of Revenue had already shouted.
Liao Qingqing quickly knelt down.
The others followed suit and shouted together: "Your Majesty is personally tilling the fields, it is a blessing from heaven and a blessing for the people. Long live our emperor!" The
Empress Dowager of Emperor Jingli was slightly startled.
Emperor Jingli tilted his head slightly and looked at the
Empress Dowager meaningfully. The Empress Dowager nodded gently to Emperor Jingli.
Emperor Jingli glanced at Liao Qingqing again, and then said seriously: "As Xi Xiurong said, all things have spirits. I am the Son of Heaven, this world is my world, and all things are also my things. I do not ask for a long life, but I ask for good weather and good harvests in the world, harmony of all things, and people to live and work in peace and contentment!"
Emperor Jingli was a man with great aura and a talent for performance.
A few simple words immediately moved everyone.
It was originally just an ordinary plowing of the land.
After Emperor Jingli said this, it had a sense of selfless sacrifice.
Everyone was grateful for having such a good emperor.
Once again, they shouted that the emperor was wise and wise, and long live the emperor.
The little green snake incident was an accident, a surprising and mysterious accident.
The personal tillage of the land was also coming to an end.
Emperor Jingli led everyone to kneel down and worship heaven and earth devoutly, and then got on the carriage.
When they were about to arrive at the palace, it suddenly rained heavily.
The personal tillage of the land was pushed to a climax. The Minister of Revenue and others were surprised, and they were also secretly grateful to Liao Qingqing in their hearts. Otherwise, they didn't know how to end it without a thoughtful kneeling.
So everyone remembered Liao Qingqing in their hearts.
Liao Qingqing was sitting in the carriage at this time. She didn't know what the Minister of Revenue thought, but she heard the soldiers next to her marvel at the power of Emperor Jingli as an emperor.
She wanted to laugh happily, but when she looked up, she found that the Queen Mother was looking at her.
She quickly put on a serious face.
"Laugh if you want to," said the Queen Mother.
Liao Qingqing pursed her lips and said, "Yes."
But she still didn't dare to laugh, as dignified as Concubine Liang.
Concubine Liang was sitting in a carriage at the back. She and Concubine Xian had never thought that the development of the little green snake incident would end up with Liao Qingqing being the center of attention.
They were unwilling to accept it.
Ye Zhaoyi and Wu Chongyi, who were sitting in the carriage without saying a word or paying any attention to the wolves, arrived at the palace and accompanied Liao Qingqing to escort the empress dowager back to Shouxi Palace. Before they
left Shouxi Palace, the imperial edict of Emperor Jingli arrived.
While Ye Zhaoyi and Wu Chongyi were demoted to Liangyi, Liao Qingqing was rewarded with a thousand taels of gold for her calmness and wit, and was promoted to Xi Zhaorong.
Xi Zhaorong? !
The next level up is Xi Fei!
This promotion is too fast!
Liang Guifei, Xian Fei and others were all stunned.
In just over a year, Liao Qingqing went from a small Liangyi to a constantly rising position.
If she continued to be promoted like this, wouldn't she become the empress...?
They shuddered in their hearts.
At the same time, she looked at Liao Qingqing.
Liao Qingqing was very confused. What did she do?
She wasn't very outstanding.
Was it all because of the support of her peers?
Emmm... It should be Ye Zhaoyi and Wu Chongyi who supported her.
"Xi Zhaorong, accept the order." The Queen Mother said.
Liao Qingqing quickly came back to her senses and accepted the order respectfully. The Queen Mother
glanced at Nanny Chang.
Nanny Chang took a jade ruyi from the hall and handed it to the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother said: "Xi Zhaorong, you did a good job today. This is given to you by me. I wish you peace and happiness."
???
Liao Qingqing slightly widened her eyes. The Queen Mother actually gave her something as a reward?
The Queen Mother said: "Take it."
"Thank you, Queen Mother." Liao Qingqing took the jade ruyi with both hands.
"Okay, after a busy day, everyone is tired, let's go."
The Queen Mother helped Nanny Chang walk into the palace.
Liao Qingqing turned her head to look at Concubine Liang and others. Concubine Liang turned around and left in anger, followed by Concubine Xian. Ye Zhaoyi... Oh no, it was Ye Liangyi and Wu Liangyi who left with red eyes.
Liao Qingqing returned to Lisheng Pavilion with the jade ruyi.
He Xiang and the palace maids happily congratulated Liao Qingqing.
Liao Qingqing said, "I think you just want to reward me!"
He Xiang laughed.
Liao Qingqing said, "Okay, I have money now anyway, He Xiang, you go and reward some, and give yourself some money."
"Yes, master."
He Xiang went to reward the Nanny, palace maids and eunuchs of Lisheng Pavilion.
Liao Qingqing didn't feel much about Xi Zhaorong or not, but she really liked the glittering gold. She stared at it, and at this time Emperor Jingli came.
"Your Majesty." Liao Qingqing saluted.
"Get up." Emperor Jingli's tone was not very good.
Liao Qingqing stood up slowly and looked at Emperor Jingli in confusion.
Emperor Jingli sat on a chair in the hall.
Liao Qingqing stepped forward to pour water.
Emperor Jingli took a sip.
Liao Qingqing poured again.
"Don't pour it, I don't want to drink it." Emperor Jingli said.
Liao Qingqing raised her eyes to look at Emperor Jingli, and asked softly: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? You don't look in a good mood."
""It's all because of you." Emperor Jingli glanced at Liao Qingqing.
Liao Qingqing asked puzzledly: "Your Majesty, what did I do wrong?"
"Who asked you to catch a snake with your bare hands? "Emperor Jingli questioned.
Liao Qingqing was stunned for a moment and said, "I caught it of my own accord."
"What if it hurts you?"
Liao Qingqing explained, "No, I know how to subdue a snake, and it's a small snake that won't hurt people on its own initiative. But Wu Chongyi and Ye Zhaoyi were shouting and wanted to throw dirt at the little green snake. If it was angered, I'm afraid it would hurt the Queen Mother. "
Seeing Liao Qingqing subduing the little green snake, he first thought that his wife was very powerful, and then he felt a little scared.
What if the little green snake bit her?
What if it was poisonous? The
more he thought about it, the more worried he became, and the more worried he became, the angrier he became. He was angry at Liao Qingqing's impulsiveness, but he couldn't get angry with Liao Qingqing, especially when she said at this moment, "I'm afraid it will hurt the empress dowager."
He said, "The empress dowager asks you to work every day, and you still protect her?"
"Of course, she is the emperor's mother and also my mother. "
With just these simple words, Emperor Jingli's heart softened. He had had a quarrel with the Queen Mother before, but mother and son are mother and son. After so many years, they had nothing to say to each other face to face, but they also do things for each other's good in private.
Hearing Liao Qingqing's words
, he felt a sense of relief that he was understood. He reached out and held Liao Qingqing's hand, and his other emotions faded away. He whispered, "Qingqing, thank you." "Thank you for helping me out." Emperor Jingli asked curiously, "'When green snakes make noises and loaches jump, it will rain', is there really such a saying?" "Maybe, right? Anyway, it's going to rain today, and I knew it in advance. "She had observed the celestial phenomena and asked Qin Tianjian. "So there is no such saying as 'When green snakes make noises and loaches jump, it will rain'?" "I can't remember clearly, but it's just a proverb, it was created by ordinary people. I am also an ordinary person. If I say it for the country and the people, wouldn't everyone be happy? "Liao Qingqing said it confidently. Is there such a perverse logic? If you think about it carefully, it seems to be the case. Emperor Jingli was curious. He stared at Liao Qingqing quietly. When he was personally tilling the land, all the ministers knelt down to ask for forgiveness. He was at a loss for a moment. It was Liao Qingqing who stood up neither humble nor arrogant, and said a few words softly and playfully, turning the situation around. He never knew that Qingqing, who was usually naive and weak, could be so radiant at that moment. His heart was hit hard. He was agitated and upset.
Seeing her playful look as usual, his heart softened and he wanted to hug Liao Qingqing. He used a little force on his hands and pulled Liao Qingqing to his side. However, Liao Qingqing did not stand steadily and sat on his legs.
Liao Qingqing: "..."
Emperor Jingli: "..."
???
Something seemed to be wrong.
The indescribable part of Emperor Jingli was slowly getting bigger and harder...
Liao Qingqing was startled and stood up quickly and took two steps back.
Emperor Jingli did not force Liao Qingqing to sit down, but coughed lightly.
Then he said awkwardly: "Well, I came to take a look on my way. I have something to do in Zhengqian Palace now, so I will leave first and come back later."
Liao Qingqing saluted quickly: "Farewell, Your Majesty."
Emperor Jingli strode out of Lisheng Pavilion.
As soon as he arrived at Zhengqian Palace, he called Doctor Fan to the palace to inquire about his health.
Doctor Fan asked: "Your Majesty, do you mean that you have a reaction again?"
"I have a reaction every three to five days!" Emperor Jingli said unhappily.
"Your Majesty, does your head still hurt?" Doctor Fan asked.
"It hasn't hurt for a long time."
"Well, your Majesty's condition has been improving rapidly." Doctor Fan stroked his newly emerged stubble, thought for a while, and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I have the courage to ask, did you...that...come out?"
"What do you mean that...did it come out?" Emperor Jingli was puzzled.
"That's it." Doctor Fan said in a low voice.
"..." Emperor Jingli was choked and wanted to scold Doctor Fan for being dishonest, but since doctors should not avoid suspicion, he did not scold Doctor Fan and said bluntly: "No."
"Then Your Majesty needs to wait a little longer. The poison back then was too harmful to Your Majesty's body. You can't act too hastily, otherwise you will hurt others and yourself." Doctor Fan said.
"Okay, you can go down." Emperor Jingli said irritably.
"Yes."
Doctor Fan left.
Emperor Jingli thought about it. He had been poisoned for so many years. He survived the early stage when his health was so bad. Now he is getting better and better. He should not be anxious, so he put away this thought.
He walked up to Yu's study.
In the evening, he went to Lisheng Pavilion again to have dinner with Liao Qingqing.
After dinner, the nanny from the clothing department came to bring clothes to Liao Qingqing.
All the spring clothes were washed and folded. Liao Qingqing wore the middle coat that night. It was made of gauze, close-fitting and soft.
Liao Qingqing wore it to sleep.
Emperor Jingli habitually read a book before going to bed. When he put the book down, Liao Qingqing had already fallen asleep. He put down the gauze and lay down slowly.
He reached out and gently stroked Liao Qingqing's smooth face.
When he took his hand back, his eyes inexplicably fell on Liao Qingqing's chest.
What kind of middle coat is this? !
So revealing!
Too much!
Emperor Jingli felt his breathing quicken instantly, and that indescribable part of his body raised its head again, unable to suppress it. He thought of Doctor Fan's words, "Haste hurts others and yourself." He couldn't hurt himself, let alone Liao Qingqing. He suppressed it forcefully, pulled up the quilt, and covered Liao Qingqing.
He fell asleep away from Liao Qingqing.
Not long after he fell asleep, he began to dream. In his dreams, there was Liao Qingqing, a Liao Qingqing who was more seductive than ever before, teasing him.
He hugged Liao Qingqing and did those indescribable things. He
had never felt so comfortable before, and it felt like he had entered heaven.
He was extremely excited, and suddenly shivered and woke up. He sat up abruptly, feeling something was wrong.
He lifted the quilt and looked down.
The movement was too big, and it startled Liao Qingqing.
Liao Qingqing rubbed her eyes and called out, "Your Majesty."
Emperor Jingli felt nervous and reached out to cover Liao Qingqing's eyes, "Don't look!"
Liao Qingqing: "???"
The author has something to say: --
Emperor Jingli: I'll look at it later!
Liao Qingqing: ???
