The handsome face of the past is no longer, and the white hair can be seen on the temples.
This once high spirited prince was finally smoothed by the years, and became old and sad.
The imperial concubine thought, and the empty hand touched her still smooth and tight face. Fortunately, she was still young.
The emperor listened to the approaching footsteps, slowly opened his eyes, and saw that it was his concubine. His face looked better. "So late, haven't you had a rest yet?"
"Your Majesty hasn't set foot in the harem for several days. She sleeps in the imperial study day by day. My concubine loves your body and can't sleep. She specially stewed some soup for your majesty to drink while it's hot."
Then she put the food box on the table, opened the lid, and the delicious smell of chicken soup floated out in an instant.
The emperor's stomach growled.
He coughed a little embarrassed, "cough... A little hungry."
The imperial concubine covered her lips with a smile: "that's just right. Your majesty, please have a taste."
She took out the cup and handed it to the emperor with a spoon.
The emperor scooped a spoonful, blew and drank, "well, it's delicious, it's still the same taste."
"Come on, sit down."
He patted the empty position of the Dragon chair.
The imperial concubine was not polite to him. She sat down and leaned on his shoulder. "Your Majesty has worked hard."
The emperor put down his spoon and sighed, "there's no way. I'm the emperor. If I sit on the land, I have to be responsible for these people."
"Well, I know, but don't be too tired, your majesty. Some less important things should be done by the people below."
The emperor touched her hair and said in a soft voice, "isn't there something special now? The people at the bottom can't do it."
Hearing this, the imperial concubine straightened up and said, "isn't it rain free? It's simple. Your majesty opens an altar to worship heaven. It's just a formality. The people won't say anything at that time. "
The emperor's eyes brightened, "yes, why didn't I think of it? What a good idea, Princess
The imperial concubine glanced at him: "Your Majesty didn't think of it, just didn't think of how to do it."
"I didn't tease you. I didn't expect it."
He pinched his eyebrows. "Maybe I'm too tired recently, and my head is in chaos."
Before his voice fell, he felt the pressure coming from his head, and the force was moderate, which relieved his headache.
"Can I help your majesty relax and then go back to sleep?"
The emperor leaned back, "OK, listen to Princess Ai."
……
The next day, the emperor went out to court from Yunfu palace, and proposed the matter of offering sacrifices to heaven in the early court. The ministers discussed for a while and agreed to this method.
After all, the wind and rain are not controlled by human power. If nothing is done, the people will be in turmoil. It's better to hold a ceremony to pacify the people.
So the early dynasty became to discuss how to hold the ceremony.
"Your Majesty, this matter should be sponsored by the Ministry of rites. The national teacher is too old to travel. It's time to choose another one."
The right prime minister suggested.
Zuo Xiang glanced at him: "although the national teacher is old, he has a good reputation. He suddenly changes people and is hard to convince the public."
"What do you say? The national teachers are too old to go out. If there's something wrong, the ceremony won't be a joke! "
The emperor was also worried about this. "I don't know what else you can do? Or who can take the place of the national master to preside over the ceremony
After pondering for a moment, the prince went out and said, "father, why don't you ask Master zhuyou to take the post of national teacher?"
The emperor narrowed his eyes: "master zhuyou..."
