The eighth month of the lunar calendar is coming soon. My birthday is on the 19th of this month.
My "Moving Palace" was completed at the beginning of the month. I asked people to collect batches of rare animals from all over the Southern Dynasty, such as the blue-green peacock and the two sika deer with long necks.
Unfortunately, the big deer fell ill on the third day after coming to Da Yuan because it was not used to the environment. It refused to eat no matter how much I fed it.
"Are you serious, Big Brother?" I shook its body, but it completely ignored me.
It cost me a few thousand taels of silver to hire this "extra". Now that he has fallen, who should I look for to calculate the money?
However, its fall was effective. When I saw it on its last breath, several palace servants whispered in my ear.
"Look at this rare object. Could it be that what the lords locked up in the Changle Palace next door said was true?……Something big is about to happen in the Southern Dynasty?"
"What are you doing there? Who did you learn it from? Hurry up and get some more tender leaves!”I pretended to give the palace maids a light kick. Suddenly, I thought of something." How's my birthday banquet next month?”
"Your Majesty, now…the national treasury is almost emptied…are you really not letting Tong E come back?”
"Heh." I sneered." If you don't have money, then go borrow. You've seen the consequences if she can't borrow it. If she does well this time, I'll consider letting her come back.”
No one knew that I was calling her Perfect in my heart.
The news of the big deer not eating spread throughout the entire palace. The group of ministers who were locked up in Changle Palace by me did not forget to discuss it in their spare time while playing cards and taking a stroll.
"Could it be…something bad is going to happen?”
"It's definitely not far! Look at the one on the dragon throne! Hey! How pathetic! What a pity!"
There are so many things that people can't help but say. The scene I rehearsed is about to enter the climax.
"Report--" The young eunuch who had come to deliver the news had already run over for the umpteenth time this month, sweating profusely.
Many commanders of the southern border came to discuss the matter in response to my imperial edict, but as soon as they arrived, I first humiliated a few of their leaders verbally, such as the head of the Lingnan commander, who was shorter than the stool beside me, and the nose hair of the Xiangyin governor, which was extremely long and untrimmed. After humiliating me, I realized that the usually silent me actually had such a function.
At this moment, they were about to leave Weiyang Palace in a huff. When they saw the young eunuch who had come to report, they almost kicked him out.
"Hurry up and tell me!" A group of dozens of generals surrounded him and told him to hurry up. He was so scared that he crawled from the door to the ground of the side hall and looked at me, who had just finished cursing and was resting with his eyes closed.
"Your Majesty…"
I heard someone calling me. I opened my eyes and yawned. It was the eunuch who had come to deliver the message. He had been like my best friend for the past few weeks, so I quickly pulled him up from the ground.
"Tell me, what is it?"
" Your Majesty…I received a message this morning. Deputy Prime Minister Nian…she's gone…"
Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked. All the commanders present trembled three times and could not even stand steadily.
"Vice Prime Minister? Is it the Vice Prime Minister Nian that I understand, Nian Gu?”I was originally picking my nose. When I heard this, I pretended to be shocked and quickly stopped what I was doing. I stood up with a whoosh.
"That's right! It was said that the carriage had fallen into the swamp on the way back and there was no time to save it!”The little eunuch quickly knelt down in front of me and cried. The commanders around me seemed to have heard a great thunderbolt from a clear sky and began to wail in an earth-shattering manner. Not only that, the female minister, who had just recovered and was about to go to court, heard this "bad news" just as she walked to Weiyang Palace and fainted again.
"Hurry up! Send him back to the residence!" I sent someone to send the female minister back to the Prime Minister's residence and told the servants of the Prime Minister's residence not to let your master come out again.
I strode into the courtyard, and there were loud, explosive cries all around me. The Imperial Consort had just returned from the imperial kitchen to get some food. When she heard the sound, she felt very strange. The moment she entered the courtyard, I immediately shouted at the sky above my head.
"Ah!"
Then, I fell down in a very dejected manner, and bit the mixture of rouge and water that I had prepared in my mouth, pretending to vomit blood.
The Changle Palace opposite also received the news at the same time. The whole palace was boiling like a pot of boiling water that had been boiled several times and was about to spurt out at this moment. It suddenly broke through the tightly locked palace door. All the people around me rushed to help me up and quickly carried me back to Changle Palace.
Noble Consort Zhang was holding a tray in her hand. On it were all my favorite dishes. Recently, he has been very obedient. He will go to the imperial kitchen and bring back whatever I want to eat.
At this moment, he should also think that I was unconscious. The doubts I had accumulated over the past few days were also high above my head.
As I walked past him, I opened my eyes silently. I saw him holding a tray and thinking about something with his head lowered. It was not until the crowd carried me to the boundary of Changle Palace that he reacted and jogged a few steps to follow.
I slept peacefully for four hours until the sky gradually darkened. I opened my eyes very unkindly.
Outside the front hall of Changle Palace, there were many civil and military officials kneeling, as well as the border commanders who were about to leave. They probably thought that I was going to die, so they all cried until their eyes were swollen.
"Your Majesty…Your Majesty is awake!" When I heard this voice, it sounded so familiar. When I looked at it, it turned out to be the divine doctor standing by my bed.
Good, the heavens are on my side.
I still trust the divine doctor's medical skills. If you want him to treat something, he will definitely do the opposite.
" Godly Doctor…I…" I called myself " I " in a very pretentious manner. Then, I lowered my voice to express that my heart was aching.
"His Majesty is too sad! That's why you suddenly fainted. You must rest well for the next few days!”
When the officials heard that I was still alive, they remembered that Nian Gu had passed away. They immediately threw themselves into each other's arms and cried loudly.
"My condolences…I've decided that I'll mourn for Niangu at the end of this month.”
After I said this, everyone below me was very surprised." Your Majesty…why did you have to wait until the end of the month?”
"This…After all, my birthday party is on the 19th…With this funeral, how long will it take?”
When Lord Zhao heard me say this, he wanted to take off his shoes and hit me with the soles of his shoes. It looked like he wanted to teach me a lesson on behalf of the dead Guo Tai and the recently deceased Nian Gu. Fortunately, I dodged quickly and called my men to pull him back in time.
"This birthday…I definitely have to celebrate it.”I sat up and cleared my throat." My aunt is gone anyway. So what if she's a few days late?”
"F * ck you!" Do you understand the principle of the dead being the most important? Lord Zhao kept scolding me. It was so unpleasant. At this moment, I really wanted the Imperial Consort to cover my ears with her hands again, but I found that after these hours, he was no longer in the hall.
Go back to sleep? I thought about how obedient he had been recently and couldn't help but feel a little lost. I thought about what would happen if it really happened. My only variable was him.
However, I'm actually addicted to him. I really can't bear to stop such a beautiful day.
"Stop talking!" I'll get people to chase all the civil and military officials home. Don't stay in my palace anymore. It's my birthday party on the 19th. If they want to come, then come. If they don't, then forget it.
The Changle Palace was finally much quieter, and I was the only one left in this huge palace. I lay down and wanted to continue sleeping. I suddenly realized that I had already gotten used to sleeping in the side hall of Weiyang Palace. Now that I returned to my bed, I felt that I was not used to it.
Where's my consort? I sat up on the bed and began to miss him again. I've been too busy these days. I've forgotten how much I've fallen in love with him.
I can only blame myself for being too busy during this period of time! But now that I thought about it seriously, I still couldn't figure out what he wanted.
I still couldn't figure out what role he would play in this drama if he left me.
As I thought about it, I gradually felt sleepy. This time, I really wanted to sleep. As I lay down, I found that the tray that the Imperial Consort had previously held, as well as my favorite dishes, were now quietly sitting on the table in the hall of Changle Palace. At this moment, they are already a little cold. I can ask someone to heat them up tomorrow before eating them.
I looked at the food and gradually fell asleep in this observing position. Before I fell asleep, I suddenly understood.
Perhaps he wanted the same thing as I did. We both just needed freedom, the kind of freedom that we defined ourselves.
