Therefore, although they guessed a possibility of the place where the jade pendant was located, it did not help much to retrieve the jade pendant. What's more, they knew it was just a guess, and they were not sure. The jade pendant must have been lost. Outside the palace.
Xiaohuan can also understand this situation. Therefore, she has no good way. If the emperor knows that she and the princess have sneaked out, the princess may know a few words of scolding, but, in her own words, she was even stabbed. The possibility of death was that after the other princes had secretly left the palace and were discovered, following them the court ladies and eunuchs had no good end.
"You can take someone to look for it again tomorrow, maybe in some corner, OK, I'm tired, I need to rest first." Princess Qi stood up weakly and said.
Originally, it was a very happy thing to be able to go out of the palace today, but it happened one after another. Feng Jueguo's envoy proposed marriage and Yu Pei lost two things. These two things are enough to destroy Princess Qi. She was very happy at first, so her mood is very depressed, and she wants to rest first.
"Okay, princess." Xiaohuan said quickly, and then waited for Princess Qiqi to wash and rest.
On the other side, after his Majesty the Emperor left the Imperial Study Room, he went to Wu Guiren's bedroom and was going to rest there tonight.
In this regard, Wu Guiren is of course happy and proud.
In the palace, being lucky by the emperor is something to be proud of. It shows that your majesty the emperor values you and your status in his heart is high enough. Some concubines may not be able to see the emperor throughout the year. On the one hand, I can only guard the empty room every day and wash my face with tears. The whole room is deserted and deserted, just like a haunted house.
Noble Wu is obviously different. Although His Majesty the Emperor does not stay with her every night, he still rests with her the most times. This situation is enough to make other concubines envy and hate. Here, you can also see Wu Guiren's status in the harem. The reason why she was able to secure her position as a nobleman, and at the same time, there was a rumor that she was going to be made a queen, which obviously had something to do with this situation.
"Welcome your majesty." After Wu Guiren dressed himself beautifully, he welcomed the emperor's arrival.
"Get up." His Majesty the Emperor stepped forward to help Wu Guiren up, which made Wu Guiren even more proud.
In all fairness, Wu Guiren is still very beautiful, and he can be selected as the imperial concubine. In that way, he will not be bad in appearance, but his slightly thin lips are not too comfortable. feel.
"The concubine looks at your majesty's look tired, presumably your majesty is tired, I will squeeze your shoulders for your majesty." Wu Guiren said.
"Okay." His Majesty didn't refuse, and he sat down directly on the bed. After that, Wu Guiren kneaded him behind his back.
"Hey, Concubine Ai's craftsmanship is good, and it's quite comfortable to press." Not long after, His Majesty the Emperor said in surprise.
Guiren Wu was a little proud of it, and said with a smile: "The concubine learned from Rong's mother specially, so that when your majesty is tired, the concubine can do something to help your majesty.
"Ai Concubine is interested." His Majesty said, patted Wu Guiren's hand.
"This is what a concubine should do." The smug expression on Wu Guiren's face is even more obvious. She is so careful, naturally to gain the favor of her majesty, and now, her majesty has taken her mind, and she is naturally more proud "The concubines are very happy to be able to do something for your majesty."
"Yeah." His Majesty closed his eyes and nodded, but he said in his mouth: "If my ministers could all be like my concubine, thinking about sharing the burden for me, then I would not be so. tired."
His Majesty the emperor is obviously sentimental.
"Your Majesty, is there something that makes your Majesty unhappy? Is there something wrong with the concubine's father?" Wu Guiren asked.
"Master Yue did a good job." His Majesty said. In private, he didn't call the other party by name, but was commensurate with the name of Yue Zhang: "It's just that other people are not as careful as Yue Zhang."
"The concubine heard that Feng Jueguo's special envoy is here today. Your Majesty is annoyed, is it related to them?" Wu Guiren said while kneading, and at the same time, he carefully looked at the emperor's face.
"It's related to them." His Majesty said: "I haven't seen Concubine Ai. Those envoys who are extremely windy are all very excessive. They look down on me and our Dalu dynasty in public. Although one of the envoys spoke very politely, look. He respects me very much, but I can see that in his heart, he doesn't take me seriously."
"Are Feng Jueguo's envoys so courageous? They are not afraid that His Majesty will kill them?" Wu Guiren said with a "surprised" expression.
"Aren't they afraid? They are very bold now. On the border, we can't beat them. They naturally don't have to be afraid of us. They are the ministers who are incompetent, especially the generals on the border. I share the burden, why should I be embarrassed in public?" His Majesty said, with an expression of indignation on his face.
Indeed, in his heart, the emperor had a lot of dissatisfaction with the generals on the border. So many, the generals there asked for soldiers for soldiers, food for food, and he agreed to all the requirements of those people. As a result, how did they reward themselves?
The intelligence I received from this side was either defeated or robbed of the population and cattle and horses by the people of the country. Even if it was occasional victory report, but soon the front line would suffer defeat again. There is no way that the good mood lasts for too long, how can this prevent His Majesty the Emperor from being dissatisfied with those generals.
But this time, the emperor agreed with Li Yuangu to rectify the army, which is a very obvious signal. His patience with those generals has been wiped out, and he no longer trusts them, and he can't let them continue to mess around and waste his country. Resources.
Many people have seen this from this action, especially Wu Yan. Therefore, he clearly chose to shut up at the time, and he didn't hit the tuyere and hit it, otherwise, The scolding is light. Wu Yan, who has been an official for many years, is naturally able to see the truth clearly.
"Your Majesty calms down your anger, but don't get angry. It's not worth it because of those popular people." Wu Guiren said quickly.
"Yeah." His Majesty the Emperor looked a little better, and said: "I still care about my concubine."
"This is what the concubines should do." Wu Guiren said, "Is the man who has the most outstanding style here to humiliate your Majesty?"
"Naturally not." The emperor said: "They are here to negotiate."
"Peace talks? That's good." Wu Guiren said with a happy face: "Although the ministers don't understand major national affairs, they often hear people say that we have fought with the people of the country for many years, and the national treasury is exhausted. It's almost done, and your Majesty is often troubled by this matter. If you can negotiate, this is a good thing. Congratulations to your Majesty."
"How can there be such a good thing, those people who are not a good person, and they are not good people, would they easily agree to peace talks? The conditions they put forward are very excessive, and they even want me to marry the princess to them. Big prince, Aifei, you said, how can I agree to this matter? Those people who are extremely windy are just wishful thinking!"
"It's too much." Wu Guiren said. After that, she hesitated a little and said, "However, this matter may not be a bad thing."
"It's not a bad thing? They want our Da Lu dynasty princesses to go over and marry me. This is more abhorrent than pointing my nose to curse me for incompetence. How can they be worthy of our Da Lu dynasty princess? Once we got married, doesn’t it mean that we are afraid of them? Although we were not able to win against them on the border, they were not able to take advantage of them, they only gained the upper hand.” His Majesty the Emperor heard Wu Guiren’s words. , He immediately said with some excitement, and even directly stopped Wu Guiren's massage, turned around and looked at each other with some anger and anger, wondering how Wu Guiren would say such a thing.
"Your majesty calms down your anger, and your concubines just talk casually." Wu Guiren quickly knelt down and said with a panic: "Your majesty is just a woman who is ignorant. Please punish your concubine."
"Okay, get up, I don't blame you." His Majesty saw Wu Guiren's panic and felt that his reaction just now might have scared the other party. The other party is just a woman and doesn't understand the country. Major events are also normal, and there is no need to care too much about them.
"My Majesty Xie." Wu Guiren stood up tremblingly, and continued to knead his shoulders to the Emperor, but this time she didn't continue to say anything, and the whole room also seemed unusually quiet.
It may be that the room was too quiet. His Majesty said: "You just said that this matter may not be a bad thing, what do you mean?"
"The concubines dare not say." Wu Guiren said with trepidation.
"Go ahead, I won't blame you." said the emperor.
"The concubine said boldly. If there is something wrong, I hope that your majesty will not blame it." Wu Guiren said.
"Yeah." His Majesty nodded and said.
"Your Majesty, those who promised Feng Jueguo to raise relatives will have a reputation for insulting your majesty, but as long as your Majesty conquer Feng Jueguo in the future, then others will only say that your majesty is for the sake of the world, and he will endure the humiliation and agree to this. If you have a family relationship, your majesty's reputation will naturally be restored, and it can also make your majesty's name go down in history." Wu Guiren said.
After Wu Guiren finished speaking, he secretly looked at the expression of His Majesty the Emperor, and found that the other party was still closing his eyes and did not interrupt himself, knowing that the other party was not angry, and then he continued.
