Chapter 243 No Ambition

Of course, it is impossible for Yan Qing to really send ten boys and ten girls to Ji Weiyu, and Ji Weiyu will not be stupid enough to take such words seriously.

It was late autumn, the days were getting shorter and shorter, and it was getting dark faster at night. Yan Qing quickly ended this meaningless chat and jealousy, and ordered Ji Weiyu and Lu Ming to be sent out of the hotel to rest.

Before leaving, she extended the deadline by two days, but she also said that she could not refuse: "Three days at most. After three days, we will set off to go back. From now on, we will return to Beijing every year in the twelfth lunar month to report on our work."

The twelfth lunar month?

Lu Ming counted the days. It was now September, which was not far from the twelfth lunar month. It would take at most three months to enter Beijing again.

However, Yan Qing quickly poured cold water on him: "Forget it this year, we will implement it from next year."

Lu Ming frowned: "Your Majesty, why do we have to start from next year?"

"Firstly, I'm here because you've already been here once this year. Secondly, I'm so busy this year that I don't have time to pay attention to you." Yan Qing said in a calm tone, "What do you think?"

Lu Ming did have a big opinion, but did he dare to say it?

His Majesty became much more majestic after becoming emperor. He sighed: "I dare not have any opinions."

So Her Majesty the Queen made the final decision, and no one dared to refute it.

The imperial concubine was happy to see them deflated.

September is a busy month, and late autumn is also a busy season. This busyness may even last until the end of the year.

The ministers are extremely busy, especially the Ministry of Rites. There are too many things piled up together. The officials of the Ministry of Rites go to court before dawn every day. After the court, they go to the Ministry of Rites to be on duty. They are busy entertaining distinguished guests and busy with encore matters. , and also busy choosing attendants for Her Majesty the Queen.

In this busy atmosphere, who has time to stare at His Majesty's harem?

Time passed quickly. In the next three days, Ji Weiyu and Lu Ming went to the palace from time to time to have a meal. Several men met together and often became jealous and bickered, but there was no suspense that in the end it was the royal wife who was the winner. Victory, whether it is a single fight or two against one, the one who is favored will always be confident and have the upper hand. Moreover, in terms of scheming, city government, and means, there will not be many opponents for the emperor in the entire dynasty.

On September 12th, the four vassal princes entered the palace to attend a farewell banquet, bid farewell to the queen and the imperial concubine, and returned to their respective fiefdoms.

After leaving, we won't be able to see each other again for at least a year and three months.

Lu Ming's mood was extremely low, and the eyes he looked at Yan Qing revealed too much reluctance, but in the end he turned around and left without looking back.

There is no banquet in the world that never ends.

If you have to leave sooner or later, it doesn't seem to make any difference whether you leave a day earlier or a day later.

Yan Qing stood on the steps of the palace, looking at the four figures who were getting away, and said in a calm voice: "The regent has kept his promise to the letter this time. He didn't come back even after I ascended the throne. It seems that he has completely stayed away from the court. ”

"Although he is not in the imperial city, he is not far away from the court." Wen Jin said in a calm tone, "The four princes and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty all know that he is staying in the fiefdom of King Xuanwu. As long as the court needs it, the regent will still be the regent. King, no one dares to ignore his presence.”

Yan Qing was silent for a moment: "Wen Jin."

"I'm here."

"I may not sit on the throne for too long." Yan Qing looked at the majestic palace in the distance, with the pavilions and palaces touching the sky in the distance, "If one day I abdicate..."

"No matter where your Majesty goes, you can't throw me away." Wen Jin lowered his eyes and held her hand domineeringly, "I will go wherever Qingqing goes. As the emperor, I will assist you with all my heart, and we will govern together." This land of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains; if you want to return to Suzaku City, I will go with you to the Suzaku King to live in seclusion and retire; if you want to live a leisurely life of wandering clouds and wild cranes, I will accompany you to travel all over the world, to thousands of mountains and rivers, and appreciate Dayong Mountain and river scenery.”

Yan Qing tilted her head to look at him: "I still think men should have great ambitions."

"I have no ambitions and short-sightedness, and I have disappointed Your Majesty." Wen Jin narrowed her eyes, "I can only see Your Majesty in my eyes, and in my heart I can only pretend to be romantic and affectionate. I only deserve to be obsessed with the love between my children and my children in this life." My greatest wish is to stay with His Majesty and grow old together.”

Yan Qing was silent for a moment: "But few emperors live long, they are all short-lived."

"So what do you think, Your Majesty?"

"Take three years to prove your strength." Yan Qing said calmly, "Let the Queen Mother and Yan Chen see how I, the lone star of the evil god, made Dayong prosperous, how I made their mother and son completely defeated, and then let them Look at the late emperor, how ridiculous his self-righteous calculations are."

As for three years later...

Let’s talk about it then. The plan can’t keep up with the changes. Who knows what will happen in three years.

Yan Qing turned back to Jiuhua Palace. Before he could step into the threshold, a group of people came in large numbers not far away.

Wen Jin's expression darkened for a moment, and he suddenly thought of four words, lingering in his mind.

"Your Majesty." Ji Weiyu and Ji Chenghao walked to the front of the palace, "Xiao Wang wants to discuss the details with your Majesty on the matter of diplomatic relations between the two countries. I wonder if your Majesty is free now?"

Yan Qing turned around, looked at the group of envoys and guards behind him, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Such a big battle?"

"The little king is here sincerely about diplomatic relations, so he has to bring a few more envoys, otherwise it will be easy for the royal wife to misunderstand." Ji Weiyu clasped her fists and bowed in a very graceful manner, "Your Majesty, do you have free time?"

Yan Qing said calmly: "Come in."

Wen Jin raised his hand with great grace: "Envoys, please come in."

The envoys who went abroad responded in kind: "Your Majesty, please."

When you come and go with me, there is only politeness but no sharpness. It is as friendly as if Dayong and Chu have become a family.
