Chapter 454: Blessing or Curse
The two carriages entered the palace together, Shi He's carriage was faster.
Sitting in the carriage, Shi He seemed to have decided something.
"Ayin..."
Shuiguo Wangfu, you can't choose.
Shui Qingyin had been waiting for Di Chenyu in the side hall. This was her first time to see Di Chenyu as an empress. She had a lot of things to say to him, and she had to say them to him.
The moment the door of the side hall opened, Shui Qingyin looked out of the hall with joy, "Emperor... Shi He?"
The light in her eyes instantly extinguished.
Shi He felt like he was being pricked by needles. "Your Majesty, you seem disappointed to see me?"
"Why are you here?"
"I met Di Chenyu in front of the palace gate."
Shui Qingyin raised her eyebrows. "Where is he?"
"My people have temporarily arranged him to the East Palace."
"Shi He!" Shui Qingyin's face was full of anger. "How dare you touch my people?"
"A Yin, I didn't touch him." Shi He's voice suddenly softened and he sighed. "How dare I touch him? I just sent him away and wanted to talk to you alone."
Shui Qingyin pursed her lips. "What are you doing?"
When she was a child, Shi He would call her A Yin every time he met her.
Since she reached the age of 15, she didn't like Shi He calling her that. She had grown up. Besides, she was now the empress. She and Shi He had different positions and were mortal enemies.
"Ayin, you want to be a real emperor, right?"
"What are you talking about! Just say it if you have something to say!" Di Chenyu is still waiting for her.
Shi He laughed at himself, "I can hand over 40% of the power in my hands."
Shui Qingyin was surprised, "Shi He, are you still asleep today? Hand over the imperial power? You probably forgot how you snatched this 40% of the imperial power?"
After the death of his father, his mother was left alone. In recent years, she has relied on Shi He's help to stabilize the court.
But his mother is meticulous and has thunderous means, but she is still no match for Shi He. Shi He used 40% of the imperial power as a bargaining chip to help her ascend the throne.
Many times, Shi He and her have different political views. 40% of the people in the court are Shi He's.
Moreover, as far as she knows, Shi He has always had a master behind him all these years.
She hadn't figured out who that person was, but it seemed like a god.
"Ayin, have you ever considered letting me become the king's husband?"
"You're dreaming! You want to enter the temple, but it's not something that can be done overnight."
She didn't know why Shi He wanted to enter the temple.
"Even if I hand over the imperial power in exchange for the position of a king's husband, you won't agree?"
"Shi He, you understand, I will not choose you as the king's husband, nor will I let you enter the temple! I will take back the 40% of the imperial power in your hands, instead of using it as a bargaining chip to exchange for the king's husband. I will eventually grow up, Shi He, just wait and see!"
The girl in front of her didn't have the bright and daring look of her childhood, but instead had a domineering and steady look in her eyes. She was only twenty years old, and she shouldn't have such a mature and steady mentality.
This reminded Shi He of Shui Qingyin when she was a child. She was really happy at that time.
After all, she grew up and stood on the opposite side of him. She was clearly looking at him, but she didn't see him in her eyes. How ironic!
Shi He turned around, and a little drop of foam popped out from his fingertips, silently falling into the cup, and the water in the cup rippled slightly. "Your Majesty, after today's conversation, I know what to do. Since Your Majesty has made up his mind, from now on, I will obey your orders."
He handed the cup to Shui Qingyin, "After this cup of water, let's put aside the past grudges."
Shui Qingyin took a look and took the cup from Shi He's hand, "Shi He, remember what you said today."
She was about to drink it all.
"Your Majesty!" The little eunuch came to report hurriedly.
Shi He's five fingers hanging in his sleeves suddenly clenched.
Shui Qingyin put the cup on the table, "What's the matter?"
"Emperor Chenyu wants to see you."
Shui Qingyin: ???
Shi He frowned.
Didn't he send Emperor Chenyu somewhere else? Why did he choose this time to come?
"Let him in. By the way, Regent, why don't you leave?"
Shi He: "I..."
"I have something important to say to Emperor Chenyu, you leave first."
Shi He took a deep look at the cups on the table, and finally turned and left.
Emperor Chenyu led a small person into the hall.
Emperor Chenyu was also very depressed.
He and Abao were originally in the side hall, but Abao didn't stay in the side hall.
In his heart, he kept saying, "Something big is going to happen, something big is going to happen, brother, go and see His Majesty."
This confused Di Chenyu. What big thing did he have to see Shui Qingyin for?
But he couldn't bear to see A Bao's anxious look. Maybe the little girl was not used to staying in the side hall, so he brought her here to see His Majesty. After His Majesty finished talking to him, he could leave the palace earlier.
"Di Chenyu pays respect to His Majesty." Di Chenyu bowed his head, and did not look at the person sitting in front of him, but bowed first.
The hall was silent, and after a moment, a chuckle came, "Stand up."
What voice? ? ?
Di Chenyu looked up, but saw Shui Qingyin standing in front of him with a coquettish smile on her face.
Di Chenyu's face turned pale, and he was surprised. "Shen Qingqing?"
"It's me."
"You are..."
"Empress of Shuiguo, I'm sorry that I used a fake identity to deceive you."
"Your Majesty, you are too kind." When the empress went out of the palace to play, she would indeed use a fake identity.
There was no deception, it was just for the convenience of being outside.
Even when his father went out of the palace sometimes, he would do this. Di Chenyu understood this.
"Sister Qing..." Abao laughed.
Shui Qingyin pulled Abao over, "Little girl, I missed you so much."
"I miss Sister Qing, too." A Bao's eyes rolled around, and finally his eyes fell on the cups on the table.
[Brother came just in time]
Di Chenyu:? ?
He was quite confused.
Shui Qingyin played with A Bao for a while, and A Bao was also a perceptive person, "Sister Qing, you called brother to the palace, you must have a lot to say to him, I'll ask the maid to take me out to play."
A Bao ran away in a flash.
Before leaving, he took a deep look at Di Chenyu.
[Brother, whether it is a blessing or a curse depends on your luck]
Di Chenyu felt that his IQ was seriously off the charts today.
After the maid brought A Bao out, A Bao looked at the side hall not far away, [That place... has the breath of Zhao Hua]
"Sister maid, what is that place?"
"Hey, little princess, that is the Queen Mother's bedroom."
"Queen Mother?"
[Queen Mother Ning of Shuiguo]
[In the original plot, Queen Mother Ning was a crazy woman. On the day Shi He became the king's husband, Queen Mother Ning hit the pillar in front of the temple and committed suicide]
A Bao saw that no one was following, so he sneaked to Xingquan Palace.
In the hall, Shui Qingyin looked at Di Chenyu, no longer the carefree and cheerful person she was outside the palace. Now wearing this dragon robe, she seemed to have become a different person, cold and noble.
"Sixth Prince, I summoned you to the palace today because I have something I want to ask you for help with. Or, let's say, it's a discussion."
"Your Majesty, please speak directly."
Shui Qingyin hesitated for a while and took a deep breath. "Sixth Prince, do you know that the Shui Kingdom is going to choose a king?"
