Chapter 69: Enjoy a Glass of Wine
Qi Zhenzhen, who had already arranged for his male favorite to wait, frowned slightly and seemed a little impatient. After thinking for a while, she replied: "Prince Guangling is just messing around." When she said this, she seemed to suddenly feel something.
After a brief pause, she waved her hands to order the maids and chamberlains beside her to leave, then lowered her voice and asked, "Tell the truth, who did King Guangling drink with?"
Xinghua felt aggrieved, so he no longer concealed it and replied directly: "I'll leave it to others. When I see the concubines in the harem, I often go there to visit."
"Yes." Nodding silently, Qi Zhenzhen fell into silence again. She also wanted to win over Jin Rong and Jin Bin, who were good assistants. When she heard that Jin Bin was dating Liu Zixing too deeply, she couldn't help but frown slightly.
Regarding Liu Zixing, although Qi Zhenzhen knew that he was disabled, he still wanted this scheming person to help him at some point. Of course, Qi Zhenzhen would not really support Liu Zixing's ascension to the throne. Because Qi Zhenzhen knew that Liu Hui's beloved concubine was pregnant and was about to give birth.
If there is a little prince, Qi Zhenzhen knows that both Liu Hui himself and all the courtiers in the court will try their best to let Liu Hui rule personally. By that time, Qi Zhenzhen felt that the power in his hands would be greatly reduced, and he would even have to live in the harem to live out his life.
It's not a bad thing in the first place, but Qi Zhenzhen's thoughts are so serious, how can he be willing to do that? !
At this time, Qi Zhenzhen had already made up his mind that he couldn't wait for the concubine to give birth to a child. If it is indeed a boy, then Qi Zhenzhen will be ruthless and kill his own son and current emperor Liu Hui. Then, she made the baby boy the prince and then the emperor. As the Empress Dowager, she can continue to listen to the affairs of the court and hold real power.
In this case, the support of Jin Rong and Jin Bin is necessary. What should Liu Zixing do? Qi Zhenzhen could only sneer secretly: once the situation becomes clearer, this scheming person will never be allowed to stay again.
Seeing that she had not spoken for a long time, Xinghua kept silent with her for a long time, and then couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "The Queen Mother, as the master of the harem, naturally cannot, must not not make some restrictions on the access of the harem people."
Qi Zhenzhen was lost in thought, but when he heard these words, he couldn't help but think of himself and feel ashamed and annoyed. It was inconvenient to blame this innocent niece too much, so she could only frown and said coldly: "Xinghua and An Xing, I understand your thoughts. Not to mention those small things, even inside and outside the imperial city, I will look for opportunities to do it." Get in order.”
Xinghua thought she had agreed to his request and quickly bowed to express his gratitude and exited.
Qi Zhenzhen sat for a while, and because she was irritable, she called out: "Where is the waiter?" The waiter standing outside the door naturally understood that the Queen Mother did not want someone to serve her, but that she wanted a male favorite to serve her.
Not daring not to respond, the waiter immediately stepped forward and knelt down: "The waiter suddenly had severe abdominal pain, but he was taken away by the imperial doctor for treatment!"
Qi Zhenzhen felt even more annoyed and patted the table at his hand. The chamberlain prostrated himself and did not dare to raise his head. After a long time, he heard her slowly ask again: "How are the generals of the Imperial Guard doing lately?"
The chamberlain was secretly surprised, first he stuck out his tongue, and then replied: "The person on duty today is General Xie Yun, Xie Chong's adopted son."
Qi Zhenzhen was silent for a moment, knowing that Xie Yun was rigorous in his work and knew how to advance and retreat etiquette. But the desire in his heart was uncontrollable, Qi Zhenzhen gritted his teeth secretly, and then said: "Xie Yunqin has done his job well, so I should give him a small reward. Prepare some wine and tell him to come in to receive the reward."
The chamberlain quickly answered yes, feeling panicked. Prepare wine? Naturally, it is not an ordinary wine, but a special medicinal wine that is added to help "interest" and even stimulate "interest".
Not daring to delay, the chamberlain returned shortly after holding the food, placed it on the table in front of the Queen Mother, and then left to thank Yun for entering the palace.
Qi Zhenzhen looked at the glass of wine in front of him. First, his chest rose and fell rapidly, and then a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth: Xie Chong was arrogant, and Xie Yun also learned to be rude. Being surrendered like this today, do you think you, father and son, are not willing to do whatever you want? !
She was thinking happily here when she heard a sound of armor rustling. Looking up, she saw the handsome Xie Yun walking steadily with his head half lowered.
After saluting, Xie Yun lowered his head and asked for orders: "The Queen Mother has summoned the general. May I ask what your orders are?"
Seeing this with joy, Qi Zhenzhen suppressed the passion in his heart and said with an almost trembling voice: "I saw General Xie working hard every day, and I was deeply moved. It's cold again tonight, so I'll give you a glass of wine."
After saying that, she leaned forward slightly, looked over with a shy smile, and even stretched out a white arm to carry the glass of wine herself.
Xie Yun raised his head slightly and saw it. He immediately blushed with embarrassment and said with hatred in his heart: Are you openly teasing an officer? Do you still have the order and dignity of the court? You go and find your male favorite, I don't dare to say anything. But you actually regard me as such a person, which is really embarrassing. Who knows that there is something different about such wine? !
"The appointment of the last general is official business, how dare you expect the Queen Mother to care about such a trivial matter." Xie Yun replied loudly, "The time of the last general's appointment is approaching, and I dare not stay in the harem for too long. Even like other imperial guards, the last general also It is necessary to give strict instructions and not to make any noise or move around rashly, so as not to disturb the Queen Mother."
After saying that, he bowed to the ground and did not raise his head again.
Qi Zhenzhen's hand had just touched the glass of wine, but when he heard him say these words in a lecturing tone, he felt extremely ashamed and angry.
And he couldn't be punished because he didn't drink - how could it be that in the middle of the night, the Queen Mother was smiling and giving wine to the Imperial Guards, and how could they be alone with each other?
Secretly lucky, Qi Zhenzhen immediately looked gloomy and said coldly: "As expected, he was taught by Xie Situ, and his words are really upright and sharp."
"I don't dare. The end is only about one's own responsibility and not about others." Xie Yun replied lying on the ground.
With luck again, Qi Zhenzhen had no choice but to grit his teeth and say, "Gu is also trying to encourage me. Since General Xie understands, Gu is at ease. Please step back."
Xie Yun did not raise his head after saluting, turned around and left quickly. As he walked, he was cursing secretly in his heart, and his face was even red with embarrassment.
Queen Mother Qi Zhenzhen sat in silence for a long time, and then looked at the glass of wine, feeling even more ashamed and annoyed. The chamberlain next to her was silent for a long time, and then said carefully: "Your Majesty, it's getting late. Please take a rest as soon as possible for the sake of national affairs."
After staring at the glass of wine for a long time, Qi Zhenzhen turned to look at the waiter indifferently: "This glass of wine is for you."
The chamberlain immediately blinked and stood there in astonishment, daring not to move. Qi Zhenzhen frowned, picked up the glass of wine and drank half of it, then looked at the waiter angrily with a blush on his face.
Not daring to hesitate anymore, the waiter leaned on the ground and took the wine glass, then drank it with a tilt of his neck. He was also in a daze immediately. He reluctantly stood up and carefully helped Qi Zhenzhen to the bedroom.
During the morning court session, Qi Zhenzhen sat beside Emperor Liu Hui with half-hearted emotions. After all the courtiers chanted, the eunuch at the chamberlain shouted: "All the ministers have their own books to report to, but those who have no rights to retreat from the court!"
"Weak ministers have their roots." Prime Minister Liu Wei returned from his duties.
