Qiqing's eyes lit up at first, then she shook her head seriously and said,"" Master said that I'm going to pray for His Majesty. How can I neglect my duty? If His Majesty loses his blessing because of my neglect, Qiqing will be a sinner of the country.”
It was really funny to hear such words from a child's mouth."Neglected? Sinner of the country? If all the officials knew these words, then this country would not need me to govern. Naturally, the weather would be good.”
Tang Jinchuan also smiled and advised," It's alright. His Majesty is so wise and there are many people who wish him well. He won't lose his good fortune because of Qiqing.”
"Really?" Qiqing blinked her big eyes, half-believing.
The two of them said no in unison, and he was slightly relieved. He sized up Tang Jinchuan curiously again."Who is Big Brother? Is he Her Majesty's husband? What was a husband for? I asked Master, but Master said that I was too young and would understand in the future. However, I was clearly old enough to leave Master, but my senior brothers couldn't.”
Tang Jinchuan glanced at Nalan Baiqiong and said,""Yes, big brother is Her Majesty's husband. A husband is used to..." He didn't seem to have a good word to describe it.
"To assist His Majesty in governing the world.”Nalan Baiqiong was a little embarrassed and spoke first.
Tang Jinchuan nodded.”
Qiqing nodded seriously.”
The carriage swayed. He probably did not sleep well last night, so he soon felt sleepy. However, he did not dare to sleep. He unconsciously closed his eyes and his little head nodded. He was awakened by himself again and opened his eyes to look at Nalan Baiqiong and Tang Jinchuan.
She was really cute. Nalan Baiqiong gestured for Tang Jinchuan to close his eyes together so that he wouldn't feel pressured.
Seeing that Nalan Baiqiong and Tang Jinchuan had closed their eyes to sleep, Qiqing finally fell asleep in peace. After she fell asleep, her body slowly softened and she fell asleep on Nalan Baiqiong's lap.
"I thought His Majesty didn't like children.”Tang Jinchuan said softly.
"No way. She's good-looking and so obedient. Anyone would like her.”Nalan Baiqiong unknowingly revealed a motherly smile.
"Is husband only used to assist Her Majesty? This is considered teaching a child badly." Tang Jinchuan suddenly reached out and grabbed Nalan Baiqiong's hand.
Nalan Baiqiong suddenly raised his head and looked at Tang Jinchuan in confusion.""What's wrong?"
Tang Jinchuan was silent for a long time before he let go of his hand and said in a disappointed tone,""I don't know how to flatter Your Majesty, nor do I know how to make Your Majesty look at me more.”
"What are you talking about?" Nalan Baiqiong bit her lips. She knew that if this continued, Tang Jinchuan would only become more and more lonely. When she first saw him, there was still eagerness in his eyes. Now, there was only coldness.
Tang Jinchuan shifted his gaze away and stopped talking.
Nalan Baiqiong didn't know what to say, so he decided not to say anything. He maintained the awkward atmosphere along the way. He was really conflicted.
After returning to the palace, Shen Yanxi found a small courtyard near Zhaori Palace for Qiqing to stay in. To the outside world, she only said that she was a little monk recommended by Master Jianeng and sent a group of palace servants to serve her. She also found many Buddhist scriptures from Longsheng Hall for Qiqing to study.
Although the journey was not far, sitting in this carriage really exhausted Nalan Baiqiong both physically and mentally. After taking a hot bath and sweating profusely, Nalan Baiqiong felt much more comfortable. Wearing only a gauze dress, Nalan Baiqiong sat beside the ice block in his bedroom to enjoy the cool.
"Your Majesty, don't sit so close. You might catch a cold.”Xie Yi took out a few other gauze clothes and a handkerchief to dry her hair.
Nalan Baiqiong saw that she was about to put on two more layers of clothes for herself and hurriedly said,"Don't come over!"
Xie Yi was shocked and stood rooted to the ground, not daring to breathe loudly."Your Majesty?"
"Let Your Majesty go. If you catch a cold, Your Majesty will be the one to drink the medicine.”Other than Shen Jingmin, no one else dared to say such disgraceful words.
Xie Yi had no choice but to follow Nalan Baiqiong. She gave the two clothes to the palace servants and only took a handkerchief to wipe Nalan Baiqiong's hair. Although Shen Jingmin was younger than her, she was still able to figure out the Emperor's thoughts and please the Emperor. Even Shen Yanxi was not as skilled as her.
When she was almost done, Nalan Baiqiong was also sleepy. She threw herself onto the bed, and Xie Yi and Shen Jingmin quietly left. Shen Yanxi came to cover the night pearl.
"Wait a minute." Nalan Baiqiong turned around." Yanxi, don't you think Jinchuan is a little angry with me?”
Hearing Tang Jinchuan's name, Shen Yanxi's heart skipped a beat. Fortunately, she had already subconsciously said in a calm tone,""Your Majesty, what do you mean? But what did he do wrong?”
Nalan Baiqiong turned over gloomily."To you guys, I'm in the wrong, but to me, this is an undeserved disaster. You know how I feel. I'm not ready yet.”
"Then when will Your Majesty be ready?”Shen Yanxi was a little aggressive." When everything is ready, will Your Majesty choose the Empress or Lord Qingwu?”
This question caused Nalan Baiqiong to be silent for a long time.
Shen Yanxi was determined to help Tang Jinchuan.""Your Majesty, I have an idea. Since the Emperor had no interest in matters between men and women, and felt guilty towards the Empress, why not casually make up a title and let the Empress take on an official position?”
Shen Yan was delighted that Tang Jinchuan would be able to see the Emperor every day. This way, they would get to know each other more, and there would naturally be a chance for them to develop feelings for each other.
Both of them were people who couldn't be forced, and they weren't good at expressing themselves.
"Sure." Nalan Baiqiong's eyes lit up." Go and tell him tomorrow that with Jinchuan's meticulous personality, he will definitely be a useful and honest official. He won't have to be bored in the harem and be a good person like a canary."”
"Yes." Shen Yanxi probably knew Nalan Baiqiong's personality the best. She knew that Nalan Baiqiong had no suspicions, so she said it without hesitation. "Your Majesty, do you want to rest?"
"Rest."
Shen Yanxi covered the Night-Luminescent Pearls one by one, closed the door, and left.
On the second day of court, the Lingnan King sent a memorial saying that the Lingnan King had passed away a few days ago and the heir had succeeded him. He would come to the Imperial City to report on his work in a few days.
After the court session, Nalan Baiqiong asked Shen Yanxi who the heir of Lingnan King was.
Shen Yanxi's expression was a little strange as she replied,"" The son of Lingnan King, the first son of the late Emperor's elder brother. His name is Wende. When he was raised in the palace, he was the closest to His Majesty. His personality is also very similar to His Majesty's, even more so than His Majesty's…How ridiculous."
Speaking of preposterous, Nalan Baiqiong knew that the Emperor Shen Yanxi was referring to was the original owner. A character that was even more unscrupulous than the original owner? He hadn't come yet, and Nalan Baiqiong already had a headache. He pondered if he could find a way to send him away and not let him enter the palace.
However, when Tang Xue heard about this matter, she pretended to shed a few tears. However, she was very happy. The Princess Consort of Lingnan was Tang Xue's cousin, Liu Dai 'er. If she had not suppressed the Prince of Lingnan, the Nalan royal family would not have been so easy to suppress.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:122120183:55AM
