Chapter 459: My daughter is well behaved
Finally back to the palace.
Wang Xifeng only felt that the longing to return home was bursting from the bones.
She didn't want to miss anyone, didn't want to see anyone, didn't want to socialize with anyone. She just wanted to quickly fly back to the big bed she had arranged for herself in Yinyu Palace and sleep on it for three days and three nights.
But no.
The first stop was to report to Emperor Chongzhao.
From her posture, tone of voice, and the words in her reply, Emperor Chongzhao could tell that Concubine Wang was very unhappy to stand here.
The emperor laughed and pointed at the sky: "It is already evening. The queen has been going to bed early recently, so the imperial concubine doesn't need to disturb her rest.
"Go kowtow outside the Penglai Palace, and then go back quickly. He Ke has been waiting anxiously for the whole day."
Wang Xifeng was immediately delighted, her eyes and eyebrows lit up with smiles, she agreed in a sweet voice, turned around and strode away.
Emperor Chongzhao looked at her back, shook his head and chuckled, and then asked Chen Duo: "Go and tell the Shangshi Bureau to quickly prepare the imperial concubine's meal tonight and send it up.
"She is very tired today. I am afraid she will go to bed after taking a bath. She should eat something and not let her stomach be empty."
Chen Duo agreed and smiled again: "Your Majesty is very considerate."
"Go away." Emperor Chongzhao scolded him with a smile, and watched him walk away before asking, "Where is Prince Duan?"
Fuguier reported back: "Your Highness Prince Duan slept soundly all the way, and the Imperial Concubine did not allow him to be woken up, and sent him directly back to the bedroom to sleep.
"Eunuch Changying just went to Penglai Palace to say something, and is now waiting for His Majesty's order outside the palace."
"Well, let him in." Emperor Chongzhao was very satisfied.
Changying came in and bowed.
Emperor Chongzhao waved his hand to let the others leave and called him forward: "How did Prince Duan perform?"
"Prince Zhongyong praised His Royal Highness Prince Duan for being quite like His Majesty in his youth. The Concubine Tai said His Royal Highness is young and calm, which is very rare.
"The Imperial Concubine is just worried about His Royal Highness Prince Duan being hungry and full, and she blames His Majesty for letting my brother go out on a big occasion too early."
Chang Ying couldn't help but smile as he spoke, "I didn't expect that my brother would actually act like a spoiled child and ask for help.
"I was alone with the Imperial Concubine for less than half an hour, and my brother told her that he had not been eating well and sleeping well recently, but the Empress was reluctant to let him take medicine frequently at such a young age.
"My brother personally begged the Imperial Concubine to give him a recipe. The Imperial Concubine was so distressed that she readily agreed, but then she thought about it and was afraid that the servants would not be dedicated, so she rejected it.
“It’s a bit far for me to go to Yinyu Palace for meals, but it’s much more convenient to go to Zichen Palace.
"She said that all your meals will follow the doctor's pulse diagnosis. She personally gave the food bureau a menu and asked me to come and eat with you for a while!"
Emperor Chongzhao raised his eyebrows and laughed: "Sure enough, Lin Ruhai is not a pedantic person, and our Tao brother's mind has also become more flexible.
“That’s good!
"He eats well, too. I watch him eat, and he's not picky or secretive, and other people don't say a lot of nonsense.
“Well, excellent!”
Looking at Chang Ying, he couldn't help but compare him to Chen Duo. He felt reluctant to let go and couldn't help complaining, "Didn't you say you wanted to bring Fuguier out during the days you were by my side?
"Well, she used to have a sweet and clever mouth, but now she is so scared by you that she can't even say a word!
"It's getting a lot more boring here!"
Chang Ying smiled and didn't respond, but told Jing Quan's story:
“I heard that Jing Quan was calm and steady during the chaos in the other palaces, and he was well received by Prime Minister Dai and His Majesty.
"To praise him, the Supreme Lord even said things like a pearl covered in dust and a cuckoo occupying the magpie's nest!
"I just feel a little bit sad that my master has worked so hard for so many years and has become nothing."
Emperor Chongzhao laughed loudly, and a hint of pride appeared on his face.
After all, it was the Jing generation who were trained by him personally, and they did not bring disgrace upon the reputation of the Eastern Palace.
As for Qinghai...
He is loyal, but not a caring person.
"Your Majesty has a keen eye for talent, I am not as good as you." Emperor Chongzhao was very happy and immediately called Jingquan over, telling him, "The Palace Department will be yours from now on, and you should hand it over to Chen Duo in the next two days.
"He's still more suitable for Neiji."
Jing Quan agreed calmly and asked for an imperial decree: "Xia Shouzhong has made great contributions in running around the other palaces. Does Your Majesty want to reward him?"
Emperor Chongzhao hesitated for a while and said, "Give me some gifts. You should prepare them according to the rules."
In other words, the emperor had not decided where to put him.
Changying lowered his head, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
This eunuch Xia originally had a good family background, but unfortunately, he was too narrow-minded and went crazy after drinking, so he was driven out by the emperor.
Originally, being by the Imperial Concubine's side was a good job as a lifetime pensioner, but he was unwilling to accept it, so the Imperial Concubine found out and drove him out.
Now she knows how to pretend to be diligent and calm, but unfortunately, the nests around the emperor and the imperial concubine are all full.
"In fact, the Queen's palace has always been lacking a chief eunuch." Jing Quan lowered his head and spoke seriously.
Emperor Chongzhao couldn't help but look at Changying, and Changying also opened his eyes wide and looked at Jingquan.
"I need to think about this matter."
When Wang Xifeng returned to Yinyu Hall, the first thing she did was to order: "Summon Lady Wuling to the palace tomorrow."
Aunt Meng hurriedly ordered Chun Nuan to go out of the palace to inform them: "Hurry, hurry, hurry! The palace gates will be locked soon!"
"If you can't make it back, just stay at home for a night. It's okay if you come in with my mother tomorrow." Wang Xifeng turned around and glanced at Chunnuan.
Chunnuan quickly put down the bags on her back and in her hands, turned around and ran out.
He Ke finally saw the opportunity and rushed over to hug Wang Xifeng: "Mother, I haven't seen you for more than a month!"
"Hey dear, come and show me, have you lost weight? Brother Tao said that you don't enjoy your meals much lately."
Wang Xifeng held her daughter's face in her hands and looked at it distressedly, then picked her up and weighed her, "Yes, she has lost weight! She is lighter!"
He Ke laughed and saw the tiredness on her face, and hurriedly pushed her: "Mom, I'm hungry and sleepy.
"Go take a shower and change your clothes, I'll wait for you to eat!
"Also, I'm going to sleep with my mother tonight! So hurry up!"
Wang Xifeng said "oh" twice and hurriedly went to wash her hair and take a bath with the help of Chunsui and Chuncao.
He Ke then turned around and looked at An'er with a smile: "Sister An'er, you all worked hard on this trip.
"Mother will leave it to me tonight, so you go and clean up and take a rest!"
An'er was so moved that her eyes turned red and she knelt down: "Yes! I will listen to you, Princess!"
When Wang Xifeng came out, He Ke had already directed people to decorate her bedroom, and her bed and dressing table were also arranged neatly.
The meal on the table has been prepared.
Wang Xifeng wiped her hair until it was half dry and tied it lightly with a ribbon. She and her daughter ate a home-cooked meal and were only about 50% full.
After walking with my daughter for another quarter of an hour to stretch my legs and waist which had been sitting all day, I went to bed and fell into a deep sleep.
He Ke waited until she was about to fall asleep, then he said softly, "Mother, I'm a little too attached to my bed. I can't sleep, so I'll go back to my side first."
He watched her vaguely respond, her sleeping posture becoming more relaxed and her sleep becoming more comfortable, then he smiled and went back to his room.
Aunt Meng chased after Nanny Ji and praised her, "You are really good at educating children. Look at our princess. Is there any daughter in the world who is more obedient than this one?"
Aunt Ji's face was flushed: "That's it!"
