"Guo Fu, am I really that bad compared to Huo Sang?"
"Why would she rather chat and laugh with Hawthorne than talk to me properly?"
"Why does she remember what happened with Hawthorne when she was a child, but can't remember the details of the first time she met me?"
"This..." Guo Fu suddenly frowned in embarrassment.
Listening to what Your Majesty asked, it is really difficult to answer.
"What is this? Tell me!"
"I dare not."
"I forgive you for your innocence. Speak!" Murong Qingli stared at Guo Fu's face and spoke in a cold voice.
“Are…are you sure?”
"Are you questioning me?"
"How dare I? I am afraid that what I say may be unpleasant to the ear and will make Your Majesty even more angry." Guo Fu said in a low voice.
"Won't."
"That's what I said. In my opinion, Prince Huo can never compare with you."
"You are the emperor of the Great Zhou Kingdom. You are diligent in your work and love your people. You have a good internal administration and a great love in your heart."
"And Prince Huo is just an idle prince, not half as busy as you."
"As for what you said about Concubine Zhen still remembering what happened with Prince Huo when they were children, this is quite normal."
"But if you ask Concubine Zhen, she will definitely not remember the small details such as what Prince Huo was wearing and what postures he played with when she was a child."
"Your Majesty, the Queen is a kind and pure person who knows her limits."
"She was happy because she saw something she liked, and happened to be accompanied by Li Zhaoyi and Hao Meiren."
"She was not happy just because Prince Huo went there."
"If I am not mistaken, when you visited Empress Zhen before and showed concern for her, there was obvious happiness in her eyes."
"And that happiness is because of Your Majesty."
"The queen regards you as someone she can get close to, so she is willing to share her past events with you."
"But you suddenly got angry and started to scold her because you were jealous."
"For no reason, Concubine Zhen listened to you and told you a story, but you suddenly scolded her. How could she not be angry?"
"This old servant understands that you are not targeting Concubine Zhen."
"But, the queen doesn't know!"
"The queen might think that she is annoying you and making you unhappy by telling you these things."
"Next time, if you ask me to have a heart-to-heart talk with you again, I'm afraid I won't dare to do it."
"She doesn't dare? She is so brave that she even dares to beat and scold me. What else is there that she dares not do?"
"How could she not know that if someone else dared to do that to me, I would have chopped him off a hundred times already."
Murong Qingli felt very upset and angry at the same time.
If he were to ask himself, he felt that compared to other people, he had been quite good to Si Muqiao.
"But your majesty, Concubine Zhen is not someone else!"
"She is always different in your heart."
"Otherwise, given your temper, you would have lost your temper the first time the queen overstepped her bounds."
"Since you are willing to pamper her, why don't you convey these concerns to her?"
"It's fine even if it's inconvenient to say it. At least don't say one thing and mean another, and show such disgust in front of the Empress."
"As time goes by, even if the queen can understand your heart, she will be hurt by your attitude."
"Your Majesty, no one likes to be treated coldly and spoken disrespectfully by the person they love."
"Just think about it, if you took great pains to make a delicious dish for Concubine Zhen."
"Empress Zhen actually likes it very much, but on the surface she looks very disgusted and says that it's nothing more than that."
"Forget it. Since you sent it to me, I ate it reluctantly."
"How do you feel? Will you be willing to send it next time, or the next time, or the next time?"
"Your Majesty, people's hearts will grow cold, and love will fade away."
"You're done?"
Murong Qingli stared at Guo Fu, which made Guo Fu feel scared and he immediately knelt down with a thud.
"Your Majesty, I am too talkative."
"But you asked me to speak up, and you also said that you would definitely not blame me."
"Old slave, old slave..."
"Alright, my words are golden. I'm just curious, how come an old man like you knows so many things?"
From the tone of Murong Qingli's voice, it seemed that he was really not angry, and it was even a little lighter than before.
Only then did he suppress the worry and regret in his heart and speak respectfully.
"Your Majesty, I am just speaking casually, please just listen."
"Hmm! You're right! Concubine Zhen is not someone who can't tell right from wrong."
"It's all Hawthorne's fault."
"That pretty boy, he looks like a decent person, but he's actually full of tricks."
"Last time he pretended to be sick to deceive Concubine Zhen's concern."
"Guo Fu, pass down the order. From today on, no one is allowed to enter the palace without my order."
“???” Guo Fu.
It seems that after all he has been talking for a long time, Your Majesty just thinks that it is Prince Huosang's fault?
Obviously he has bigger problems, right?
Forget it, forget it. Your Majesty was willing to listen to him and didn’t punish him. I guess you took his words to heart.
It's just that due to the sake of face, His Majesty would not admit that he was wrong in front of him, a servant.
Understand. Understand.
Alas, he could only help Concubine Zhen up to this point.
"Why are you still standing there? Go and pass on the order!"
"Yes, I obey your command!"
Guo Fu turned around and went out, leaving Murong Qingli alone in the room.
Sitting at the desk, Murong Qingli couldn't help but begin to reflect on himself.
Is he really wrong?
Yes, that pretty boy Hawthorne is full of tricks and is very good at pleasing others.
He is the king of a country, and others always try to please him.
This is the first time that he has thought about something from someone else's perspective.
But what does Si Muqiao like?
The prerequisite for catering to her preferences is to know what she likes.
If I remember correctly, Hawthorne once told him that if he really wanted to be with Si Muqiao, he had to be devoted to Si Muqiao alone.
He can definitely do that.
As the Son of Heaven, he has a big heart, but it is filled with the country and the world.
He was already surprised that there was room to accommodate Si Muqiao.
As for other people, he had no time to pretend, nor did he want to.
I'll ask him later if Simuqiao really minds having so many women in his harem.
He didn't mind disbanding the harem and leaving only Si Muqiao alone.
In this case, she should be able to understand his feelings, right?
Murong Qingli sat at the desk and thought for a long time before finally coming up with a solution.
Oh, didn’t Hawthorne give two pairs of peacocks?
He wanted to give Simuqiao an entire zoo.
Those that I have seen and haven’t seen, those with hair or without hair, those that fly in the sky, swim in the water, and burrow in the soil.
He would ask someone to help Si Muqiao find it.
In addition, he remembered that Simuqiao also liked to read medical books.
Well, I'll ask someone to find the rare medical book that has been handed down from the past and send it to her.
Simuqiao also likes spicy and sour chicken feet.
He immediately ordered the imperial kitchen to prepare 50 kilograms of spicy and sour chicken feet and send them to her.
