The gods of the gods

"Since the emperor said so, let's do it!" The queen mother sighed, "The Ai family is a little tired, the emperor, go get busy!"

"Okay, the empress mother has a good rest, and my son will leave." Seeing this, Emperor Zhengde waved his hand to let the eunuchs retreat, and then left the Palace of Compassion and Ning.

Chapter 21 Overnight in Kunning Palace

Not long after leaving the Palace of Compassion and Peace, Emperor Zhengde waved his hand and said, "Eunuch Sun, go and investigate the matter of Liu Sheng's fluttering catkins. I am very curious that Dongying and Liu Sheng's family are going to place such a person with strong martial arts in our place." What do you want to do next to me? See if it means Dongying or the Yagyu family."

"Yes, I'm going now, old slave." Eunuch Sun left quickly, while Emperor Zhengde headed for Qianqing Palace. When he arrived at Qianqing Palace, Eunuch Sun was already waiting for him with some letters.

Eunuch Sun trotted all the way over, pushed the others back, and then said, "Your Majesty, this old slave has already investigated. This Dongying Liusheng family is the family with the highest martial arts in Dongying. The world's first-class martial arts. His current home lives in Liusheng, but Ma Shou is one of the few top masters in Japan, and he may break through the Grand Master at any time."

"And this Liusheng Piaoxu is the second daughter of Liusheng Danmashou, and the only blood of Liusheng Danmashou, and his strength should be in the middle stage of the master. However, because the blood of Liusheng family is thin, the eldest daughter and son of Liusheng Danmashou have already passed away. After passing away, the status of the Liusheng family in Dongpu was not as good as before, and they were squeezed out by many other forces. But this time Liusheng Piaoxu came to Daming, it seems to be for the purpose of making peace with Daming, hoping to marry into Daming, and borrowing my Daming tomorrow With the prestige of the dynasty, come to help the Yagyu family survive this danger."

Emperor Zhengde frowned and said, "You mean, Liu Sheng Piaoxu came here not to marry into the imperial palace, but to get married with officials in the court, so that the Liu Sheng family can get help in Dongpu to survive this danger .”

Eunuch Sun nodded and said, "Go back to the emperor, that's exactly the case. Liu Sheng Piaoxu's visit this time is only the meaning of the Liu Sheng family, and the Liu Sheng family only intends to let her marry the officials' children in the court. It's just because the queen mother is too anxious to serve the emperor. Selecting a concubine, this is why I inadvertently selected this person from many people who are close to each other."

The corner of Emperor Zhengde's mouth couldn't help twitching, his mother's luck is really not very good!

"Since this is the case, let's forget about it." Speaking of this, he seemed to have thought of something, and said, "The purpose of Liusheng Piaoxu seems to be to marry the sons of officials in the court. I remember that Duan Tianya seemed to be with Liusheng's family in Dongying There must be some connection! Duan Tianya is a secret agent of the big family, a character cultivated by the emperor's uncle, who has also contributed a lot in business reform and the six sects. Now he is much older than me, but he has never been married."

"How about this! Pass on my will, and marry Liu Sheng Piaoxu and Duan Tianya." Emperor Zhengde said.

Eunuch Sun has been with Emperor Zhengde for too long, and Emperor Zhengde can guess a little bit of his thoughts, "Your Majesty, do you want to take the Liusheng family for your own use? But the Liusheng family is far away in Dongpu. Such a force is not for us. Words don't seem to be of any help?"

Emperor Zhengde said lightly, "It is really useless to us now, but with the key of the Yagyu family, we are equivalent to inserting a nail in Dongpu. As long as my Ming Dynasty develops, we can open the door of Dongpu at any time, It pulls into our map."

Eunuch Sun suddenly looked stunned, "It turns out that the emperor has already moved his heart to win Dongying. The emperor is wise. With the existence of the Yagyu family, Dongying has no secrets for us. In the future, with my Ming's strength, we will take Dongpu. Dongpu can be said to be a piece of cake!"

Emperor Zhengde nodded, then walked back to his dragon chair, picked up the memorial on the table and began to review it again.But now that the Ming Dynasty has made great efforts to govern in the past few years, it has been on the right track, and there are not many things that really make him decide.But the things that are really up to him to decide, each one is a big one and needs to be carefully considered. After he finished reviewing the memorial, it was already time to hold the lights.

"Your Majesty, it's time to eat." Seeing that Emperor Zhengde had finished reviewing the memorial, Eunuch Sun quickly served the prepared meal.Emperor Zhengde took a look, and found that the top-notch medicinal diet was carefully prepared by the imperial physician of the imperial hospital and jointly prepared by the imperial chef. It was of great benefit to the cultivation of Qi and nourishing the body, and he was used to it.

After eating the medicinal food, Eunuch Sun gestured skillfully for everyone to retreat, leaving only Emperor Zhengde to meditate and practice Qi in the imperial study, refining all the medicinal power in his body.After he refined all the medicinal power, he called softly, and Eunuch Sun opened the door and walked in.

"Your Majesty, it's Xu time now, but it's time to go to bed." Eunuch Sun bowed and asked softly.

Emperor Zhengde thought for a while, and then said lightly, "Go to Kunning Palace and tell me that I will rest at Kunning Palace tonight."

"Ah!" Eunuch Sun was quite surprised. Emperor Zhengde had played and played all day since he ascended the throne, and his relationship with the queen was not very close, and he never even stayed overnight in Kunning Palace.And after the Ming Dynasty launched commercial reforms a few years ago, he was busy with government affairs all day long, and he never went to the harem at all.

Today, could it be that,,,, recalled the matter that Emperor Zhengde was urged by the Queen Mother in the Palace of Compassion, Eunuch Sun immediately understood, and quickly said, "Yes, this old slave will pass on the word." After finishing speaking, he walked away quickly The imperial study room walked outside.

------------

In Kunning Palace, the current Empress Xia is doing embroidery quite lonely. Emperor Zhengde has not entered the harem for several years because of his busy government affairs. Not only her queen, but also other concubines in the harem are also lonely.Without the existence of the emperor, they didn't even have the intention to compete for favor. After all, the purpose of competing for favor was to get more favor from the emperor, but the emperor didn't come to the harem, so there was no such thing as a fight for favor.

Just when the Xia family was about to change clothes and rest, a maid came trotting quickly from the outside, with a look of surprise on her face, she said, "Empress, empress is so happy! Eunuch Sun of Qianqing Palace has a message that the emperor will come tonight Stay overnight in Kunning Palace, let you prepare!"

Xia's expression was slightly startled, since entering the palace, the emperor has never lived with her at all, not even when the two got married, how could he come to Kunning Palace today? "Little Lian, are you sure it's the news from Eunuch Sun of Qianqing Palace?" After being surprised, Xia's face also showed a smile. Although there are many concubines in the harem, everyone knows that the emperor is busy with government affairs these years. The harem never came.Now, although I don't know why the emperor came to the harem suddenly, but the first one came to his Kunning Palace, it means that the emperor still has husband and wife feelings for her.

"The empress is real. Eunuch Sun told me personally. It seems that the empress dowager is urging the emperor during the day, hoping that someone in the harem will give birth to a dragon child as soon as possible. So the emperor will come to empress to stay overnight at the empress's place." Lian said quickly.

"That's why hurry up and prepare." Xia's expression was quite nervous, and many maids under him also quickly washed and dressed her.Soon, under the costumes of many maids, Xia was dressed up as a stunning beauty, after all, the appearance that can become a queen must be the first choice!

"The emperor is here." The queen had just washed and dressed when she heard a voice from outside Kunning Palace.The queen also got up immediately and walked towards the door, looking towards the palace gate, like a wife looking forward to her husband's return, and after a while, she saw Emperor Zhengde walking in.

"The concubine has seen the emperor." The queen stood in front of the door and bowed slightly.

Emperor Zhengde gently raised his hand to help him up and said, "The queen is polite, you and my husband don't have to be so polite." He lifted the queen's chin and looked at this face that he had almost no impression of.

Facing the direct gaze of Emperor Zhengde, and under the eyes of many court ladies and eunuchs, the empress was also very shy, her cheeks blushed.As a queen, she is already stunningly beautiful, and with the grooming and grooming of the maids, she is even more beautiful, and now she is even more beautiful under the shyness.Even Emperor Zhengde, who had at least decades of experience, felt his heart throbbing.

Chapter 22 The Headache

Since ancient times, the harem has been the place where news is least kept secret, and news spreads as fast as lightning.Just at dawn on the second day, the news of the emperor's overnight stay in the Kunning Palace spread throughout the harem. In the morning, Zhengde was still awake, and he heard many concubines outside the Kunning Palace coming to the Kunning Palace to pay their respects.

Emperor Zhengde also felt a headache about this, how could he not guess what these concubines were thinking.He didn't come to the harem for several years before, the empress and many concubines were never favored, but last night he stayed in the empress' palace overnight, the balance of the harem has been broken.If you don't suffer from widowhood, you will suffer from inequality!

Thinking of this, Emperor Zhengde got up gently, walked to the door and said, "Tell all the concubines, just say that the queen is not feeling well today, just ask for your safety, let them all go back! By the way, call some female medical officers, and go to the house The government took some nourishing medicinal food and sent it to Kunning Palace to nourish the queen's body."

"Yes, servant girl is going now." The servant girl's response sounded from outside the door.

Zhengde returned to the dragon bed and sat down, his eyes fell on the sleeping man's face, and he looked at her quietly, after a while, a touch of tenderness flashed in his eyes.But soon he seemed to think of something, and his expression darkened a little. "After all, you and I are not from the same world. I have a lifespan of more than 150 years. Even if I break through to the supreme master in the future, I will have a lifespan of nearly 300 years. Your life is only a small part of my life."

"But the concubine is willing to spend her life loving the emperor." At some point, the queen quietly opened her red phoenix eyes, and a faint smile appeared on her face.

"Wake up." Emperor Zhengde said softly, with the strength of his great master, he could clearly know that the queen woke up before he said those words.

"Yes, my concubine is here to help the emperor change clothes." Empress Xia was about to get up, but before she could sit up, a palm fell on her fragrant shoulder, gently obstructing her movement, and covered the quilt again.

Emperor Zhengde said softly, "Don't move, you are not feeling well, take a good rest these few days, and the other concubines also let them avoid the matter of coming to pay your respects these few days, don't worry about them bothering you."

Empress Xia's eyes were slightly red, "If the emperor cares so much, I will have no regrets in this life."

Emperor Zhengde tapped her on the forehead lightly, "What are you talking about? I didn't come to the harem before because there were too many affairs in the court, and many things kept me busy. Now the affairs of the previous court are almost settled. Since you have become my queen, I will love you like this in the future."

Just as the two were talking with each other, there was a soft knock on the door, "Your Majesty, breakfast is ready, do you want your servant to wait for someone to change clothes?"

"Come in!" Zhengde looked outside the door and found that it was dawn, so he said.

"Yes." Many maidservants filed in and quickly prepared for him to wash, and they were ready in a short time.

"Your Majesty, this is the black-bone chicken soup specially made by the imperial chef. It is specially made to nourish qi and nourish qi. It is a good nourishing medicinal diet, which is very good for nourishing the body." After washing, a court lady handed over a bowl of chicken soup. Come.

"En!" Zhengde took the bowl of soup, but he didn't drink it himself, but walked to the dragon bed and gently helped Empress Xia up. "Come on, let me feed you."

Empress Xia suddenly panicked and said, "The concubine is the one who serves the emperor, how can the emperor come to feed the concubine."

Zhengde gently stroked the hair in front of her, and said with a smile, "You and I are husband and wife, if there is anything you can do, come on, open your mouth."

Seeing the jade spoon being brought to her mouth, Empress Xia hesitated for a moment before slowly opening her mouth to drink the chicken soup.After drinking the chicken soup spoonful after spoonful, she could also feel the warmth in her stomach. After drinking a bowl of chicken soup, her whole body became much stronger.Looking at the man's face in front of her, Xia Yuyan felt as if she was dreaming, everything was so illusory, but her body told her that it was real.

--------------

After having a breakfast in Kunning Palace, Emperor Zhengde didn't stay any longer. After all, the imperial court submitted memorials every day, which needed to be reviewed by him.What made him quite helpless was that after staying in Kunning Palace for one night, all his concubines from the harem came this morning.Some brought tea and water, and some brought soup and snacks. Nearly ten concubines dangled back and forth in front of his eyes, which gave him a headache.

After finally dismissing these concubines, Emperor Zhengde sat on the dragon chair and rubbed his temples quite tiredly.He is not physically tired, but mentally tired.The ancients said that there are three women in one play, but he has to deal with nearly ten of them, and they are all played by him, so how can he not give him a headache.

A headache is one thing, but the memorial still needs to be reviewed. After handling the affairs of the court, he also started his usual practice.

Although he is a grand master with a lifespan of 60 years, but now he wants to practice the heaven-replenishing magic skill, but he has not even opened up the vitality treasure.Although his Essence and Blood Divine Treasure has been opened to the third level, it still needs to be accumulated step by step if he wants to open the Vitality Divine Treasure. The Divine Treasure is not so easy to open up.

When Emperor Zhengde opened his eyes, it was already dusk. Today's practice made him feel a lot easier. The Sky-Bending Divine Art is indeed the unique skill of the Heaven-Bending Holy Land.Although the power of the first three layers is not so outstanding among the top divine arts, it is much stronger than the purple qi divine art he practiced in the past, and the accumulation of inner qi is also much faster.He felt that with his current speed, he would be able to successfully open up the divine reserve of vitality within half a year at most, and formally enter the realm of refining qi.

"Your Majesty, dinner is ready." Eunuch Sun walked in gently, saw Emperor Zhengde opened his eyes, and stepped forward to report.

"Yeah!" Zhengde got up, suddenly he seemed to think of something, looked at Eunuch Sun and asked, "Is the Queen's health better?"
