Chapter 78 From then on, the king no longer held court early
Jiang Zhen's body was trembling slightly, her hands tightly grasping the quilt. She felt Xie Fei's hot palm with thin calluses gently covering her waist. She gritted her teeth and closed her eyes in fear.
While she was waiting for the pain to come, the hand did not make any other movements but just rubbed her waist gently. It was not teasing, nor was it ambiguous. It was really a gentleman's massage.
Jiang Zhen was stunned at first, then she opened her eyes in disbelief and looked at Xie Fei. Under the dim candlelight, his facial features were looming, his charming peach blossom eyes were slightly closed, his long and thick black eyelashes cast long shadows under his eyelids, his thin lips were slightly raised, and he was kissing her earlobe like a dragonfly skimming the water.
Deeply affectionate but without lust, with an intoxicating tenderness in the doting.
Jiang Zhen looked a little absent-minded, but Xie Fei laughed softly. She could feel his chest vibrating slightly, and his heartbeat quickened instantly. Then he pressed his hot lips against her ear and said slowly, "What's wrong? Queen, are you not sleepy yet? Do you want me to help you?"
As he spoke, his smiling eyes slowly opened, and tiny sparks shone through the veil into his dark and deep pupils, like a deep pool reflecting the starry sky, so beautiful that it was captivating.
The big hand on her waist suddenly tightened twice, and Jiang Zhen suddenly came back to her senses. Her face turned completely red, and her breathing between her nose and lips became more rapid. Her starry eyes blinked uneasily and then immediately closed. She opened her red lips slightly and yawned softly: "I'm so sleepy..."
Xie Fei glanced at the pretentious woman in his arms with amusement. Her quilt was as red as fire and her black hair was as black as ink, which made her face look even whiter than snow. Her cheeks were flushed red because of nervousness and her curled eyelashes were trembling.
She is so charming and lovely.
Xie Fei's heart moved, and he moved closer with a smile on his face. Seeing her pursed her lips nervously, he lowered his head and leaned over, sucking twice before leaving. He said in a low voice with a hoarse smile: "Sleep peacefully, I won't bother you tonight."
Jiang Zhen slightly opened her eyes, looked at him and smiled shyly, then raised her arms to wrap around his neck, buried her head in his shoulders and fell asleep in his arms.
The two people in Kunning Palace were affectionate and affectionate, but the Xilan Palace in the southwest corner was in an eerie silence. Xihelan leaned on the soft couch by the window, her pretty face was tense, her heart was boiling with anger, and she bit her lower lip tightly with her pearly teeth to prevent herself from getting angry, but the silk handkerchief in her hand had already been tangled up by her.
The two senior palace maids, Roufeng and Zhen'er, knelt trembling beside the couch, with beads of sweat rolling down their foreheads.
They didn't dare to make a sound, but the burning candles made two crackling sounds. Xi Helan's irritability suddenly exploded. She slammed the table hard and shouted in a low voice: "I'm so mad!"
After Roufeng and Zhen'er looked at each other, Roufeng bravely advised: "Master, don't be angry. It's not worth it to get yourself hurt. The emperor must have a master in his heart. The queen is just your shield. Besides, as the master of the six palaces, the queen has a fixed monthly sleeping time. The emperor may have no choice..."
"What do you know, idiot!" Xi Helan interrupted Roufeng abruptly, grabbed the teacup on the table and threw it over, scolding, "I get annoyed when I see you, get out of here!"
Roufeng and the other person shuddered, not daring to say another word, and crawled out. Xihelan took a deep breath, reached out and gently rubbed his forehead, his thoughts racing.
What Xi Helan was angry about was not that the stud favored another woman, but that it was just a cucumber. She was not willing to compete with these vulgar women for a man's favor. She was just unwilling to accept it.
In the past, no matter how busy the emperor was or what he was doing, even if he planned to rest with other concubines today, he would always send someone to tell her. Afterwards, he would try to please her and coax her, asking her not to be angry, saying that he only visited them because of the rules of his ancestors, and that he was just chatting with them under the quilt.
But now he hasn't sent anyone to report to him for two days, and he even really left before the Queen. This afternoon, after the concubines paid their respects to the Queen, it was reported that the Queen was listless, her waist was weak, her eyebrows and eyes were charming, and it was obvious that she was over-favored.
The rumors were so vivid that they could not be groundless rumors, and it was certainly not something the Queen did on purpose. After all, the Queen had been a role model for all the concubines in the harem since she entered the palace, and had been publicly praised by the Queen Mother for her virtuous character. She would never go against her own words, it could only be the fact.
He is another dead scumbag who cannot control his lower body. All the golden words, the vows, the emperor's favor, are all empty. Only power is real.
Thinking of this, Xi Helan became more and more disdainful of Xie Fei. From the very beginning, she only regarded Xie Fei as a prop on the road to success. She used him to complete her tasks and achieve her goal of dominating. She never thought of living her life relying on a man's favor, especially when this man was a royal product.
In her mind, besides his usefulness, Xie Fei was nothing more than one of her works, a work that showcased her charm and ability. Just like all the time-traveling heroines in novels, she wanted to cultivate a loyal dog who would be devoted to her.
So as long as he reported to her, Xi Helan would not care whether he favored someone else. However, she could not accept the feeling that he was not under her control, and she could not accept the failure and stagnation of the mission. This not only made her feel insecure and without a sense of accomplishment, but she also began to feel uneasy and panicked.
Because she signed a contract with the system, if she succeeded, she would ascend the pagoda and be passed down through the ages, but if she failed, she would be shattered and her soul would be destroyed.
Clearly everything was going as she planned, but suddenly everything changed without any warning. Thinking of this, Xi Helan gripped the hem of her clothes even tighter. She knew she had to do something.
[System, I want to exchange for a flood response plan. ]
[bite! The redemption is successful and the host can check it at any time. ]
…
At about five o'clock on the second day, Xie Fei rode the golden throne out of Kunning Palace. He was lazily leaning on the armrest and yawning when suddenly a palace maid ran out from the side, holding a letter and kneeling on the ground, trembling and saying, "Roufeng pays respect to the emperor."
Zhang Dezi was stunned for a moment with an ugly expression on his face. He paused and looked at Xie Fei hesitantly: "Your Majesty, what do you think?"
He was very familiar with this Miss Roufeng. She was the personal maidservant of Concubine Lan. Since the Emperor often sneaked into Xilan Palace in the middle of the night, they had come into contact many times.
"What's the matter?" Xie Fei glanced at Roufeng who was kneeling on the ground and asked casually.
When Roufeng heard the question, she felt relieved and said, "My master ordered me to deliver this letter to the emperor. My master said that the emperor would understand it after reading it."
Hearing this, Xie Fei already had some guesses in his mind. He turned his head to glance at Zhang Dezi, who hurriedly stepped forward, took the envelope and handed it to him.
Xie Fei took a quick look at the letter and found that it was just as he guessed, a plan for dealing with floods. However, the plan was very general and did not include a specific analysis of Da Qi's situation. However, it was better than nothing. It was an opportunity that was delivered to his doorstep and he could not miss it.
He smiled softly and said, "Your master is very thoughtful. You can go back first. Someone will deliver the reward later."
Roufeng immediately said happily: "Yes, I thank you for your grace."
Xie Fei waved his hand, and the emperor rose again. Soon they arrived at the Golden Throne Hall. All the civil and military officials had already arrived. When they saw the emperor, they all knelt down and shouted respectfully: "Your Highness, long live the emperor."
"Stand up." Xie Fei sat lazily on the throne, looking at the people below the stage with dejected expressions, and said with a smile, "I have read your memorials on the way here. You all have real talents and knowledge. Look at this thick pile, all of them are good strategies for dealing with disasters. Seeing that you are so dedicated to the Great Qi, I am very pleased."
Everyone bowed and kowtowed, saying they dared not, but in their hearts they cursed Xie Fei. He was having a really good time as the emperor, the ministers thought, with all the power in his hands. While everyone was racking their brains and working day and night, they heard that he, the lord of Da Qi, was living a happy and carefree life, eating and sleeping well. The thought of it made them feel really sad and unwilling.
You want the horse to run but don't give it grass to eat. That's really fucked up!
When everyone was thinking wildly, Xie Fei ordered: "Zhang Dezi, announce the decree."
Imperial edict? What imperial edict?
While everyone was puzzled, Zhang Dezi bowed and accepted the order. He took out the imperial edict from his sleeve, stepped forward a few steps, unfolded the imperial edict and began to read it out word by word. The civil and military officials knelt on the ground, and the extremely familiar shrill voice of Eunuch Zhang came to their ears.
But this decree was not familiar at all.
One, two, three... one decree after another was heard by everyone in an orderly manner. Everyone looked at each other, too shocked to speak.
This... this is really unbelievable. These countermeasures are the real good strategies. In comparison, the memorial I submitted is simply disgusting.
Everyone was shocked, and when they stood up, their eyes looking at the young king on the throne changed completely. There was admiration, relief, and joy, but the smart people felt fear.
The emperor deliberately wanted to intimidate his ministers by making them think hard for two days and two nights without sleep. Then he threw out a whole set of shocking decrees that he had prepared long ago. He was telling everyone that it was impossible to threaten him!
This is a warning. If anyone fails to do his best next time, he will be dismissed.
The ministers in the court had different thoughts. In the harem, Roufeng returned to Xilan Palace to reply to her master. Xihelan listened to Roufeng's words, a smile slowly appeared at the corner of her mouth, and the pride between her eyebrows was obvious.
As he was talking, there was a bustling noise outside. After a while, a little palace maid walked in quickly, smiling and said, "Master, Eunuch Zhang has brought a lot of people here, and each of them is holding rare treasures. I heard that they are rewards from the emperor to you!"
Xi Helan was startled when she heard that, and walked out of the door with the help of Roufeng in confusion. There were rows of palace maids and eunuchs standing in the yard, holding wooden trays covered with red silk cloth in their hands. The palace maids of Xilan Palace gathered around them, their brows and eyes were full of unconcealable joy.
Their master has finally gained favor after all the hard work, and they are finally no longer looked down upon and are about to rise to prominence as well!
While everyone was surprised and happy, Xi Helan frowned as he looked at it all, and the feeling of worry in his heart suddenly became stronger.
The author has something to say: ??Xie Fei: I, Yan'er is bad, hahahaha
