Chapter 485： Queen Chen

Beijing Palace

These days, the emperor keeps his door closed to anyone, and even Zhou Guifei, His Majesty's favorite concubine, refused to see her, which gradually attracted the attention of the imperial concubines, concubines, princes, and grandsons.

Everyone vaguely guessed that His Majesty had not seen anyone for so long. Could it be that he was seriously ill?

Or guess what, His Majesty is likely to sneak out of the palace!

However, apart from His Majesty himself, no one could give them an answer.

Kunning Palace

"Empress mother, the people in the palace are secretly guessing that the father has left the palace, is it true?" Crown Prince Yu Wenyan asked Empress Chen with a frown.

Empress Chen sat on the couch of the imperial concubine with a calm face, and said lightly, "Guessing is just guessing, I haven't seen His Majesty in person, even if I guessed correctly, so what?"

The crown prince asked, "The queen mother, do you know that the father and the emperor..." Is he really sick, or did he sneak out of the palace?

Empress Chen shook her head and said, "His Majesty always has his own plans and measures in doing things." He didn't tell the Prince that His Majesty was really ill or had left the palace.

But the information revealed actually told the Crown Prince, Your Majesty, that he did leave the palace.

After listening to Queen Chen's hints, the prince's pupils shrank violently for a while, and he suddenly felt unbelievable.

Immediately, he showed a worried expression and said, "Mother, it's so dangerous outside, the father..."

Empress Chen waved her hand to stop him from speaking. She warned the prince with sharp eyes, and said coldly, "His Royal Highness, there are ears on the wall! The queen mother said that your majesty always has his own plans and proportions in doing things, we just need to wait quietly!"

Then she warned again, "Prince, don't do extra things, you know?"

The prince's expression immediately became a little stiff, but he still replied respectfully, "Yes, Queen Mother!"

He didn't know why, why the queen mother was so indifferent to him, obviously they were mother and son, right?

A bitterness emerged in the prince's heart.

Empress Chen glanced at the prince's expression, and sighed helplessly in her heart, and then said in a cold tone, "Prince, it's nothing, you can go down. The mother is going to rest!"

The prince replied, "Yes, mother, rest well!"

After the prince left, Empress Chen's nurse looked at the indifferent Empress Chen, sighed softly, and said, "Niang Niang, the prince will one day understand your painstaking efforts."

Empress Chen looked at the Prince's back and smiled bitterly, "Nanny, do you think the Prince will blame Ben Gong's cruelty?"

After he was born, he didn't care about him, and when he grew up, he was also indifferent to him.

However, she didn't do it on purpose.

The nanny persuaded, "Miss, don't think too much!"

Empress Chen nodded and replied, "That's right! Don't think too much about this palace, as long as he is fine, everything will be fine!"

"Ok!"

After the prince returned to his palace, his mood immediately became complicated.

Every time he went to see his mother, he was both looking forward to and nervous, but more of a desire.

He really hoped that his mother would greet him like a normal mother, how well he has eaten recently, how well he slept, etc...

However, his mother was very indifferent to him, and sometimes she didn't even want to give him a look.

Sometimes, he wanted to ask his mother why she hated him so much?

The prince sighed softly and said, "Forget it!"

A little **** came over and said to the prince, "Your Highness, someone came from outside!"

Having said that, the little **** gave a note to the prince.

The prince frowned and took the note from the little eunuch.

As soon as he opened the note and saw the contents of the note, his pupils contracted violently for a while, and his expression became extremely excited.

He said, "This palace is going to Kunning Palace. You have people guarding the gate of the palace and don't let anyone step further, you know?"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

His Royal Highness came to Kunning Palace again with a very complicated expression.

Empress Chen's wet nurse came over and asked, "Your Highness, are you in a hurry? Empress Empress is resting!"

His Royal Highness said eagerly, "Mother Wang, there is an urgent matter in this palace, and I must see the queen immediately. Please let me know!"

Madam Wang looked at His Royal Highness, who looked anxious, nodded and said, "Okay. The old slave will report to the empress. As for her..., forget it." In fact, what she wanted to say was that if the empress did not see him, Can't help her.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was still very grateful, "Thank you, Madam Wang!"

After a while, Wang Mama came out without saying anything, just shook her head at His Royal Highness, and then said, "His Royal Highness, go back and come back tomorrow!"

However, this matter is indeed urgent, and His Royal Highness simply feels that it is good to postpone it until tomorrow.

He said to Wang Mammy very earnestly, "Wang Mammy, Ben Gong is really in a hurry to see my mother, and I can't delay it until tomorrow. Please tell Mammy again, it's about," he looked around, very worried. It is pure, "It is about the safety of the father!"

Hearing this, Madam Wang's face changed, and then she said with a serious expression, "That's fine, His Royal Highness, the old slave will inform the Empress again!"

After a while, Madam Wang came out again, nodded to His Royal Highness, and then said, "His Royal Highness, Empress please come in!"

"Thank you, Mommy!" Then, he strode in eagerly.

As soon as I entered, I saw the graceful and luxurious Empress Chen, reclining on the concubine chair, looking at His Royal Highness, and asked lightly, "The nurse said that you have an urgent matter to find this palace, and it is related to the safety of your father! What's the matter?"

His Royal Highness looked at the tranquil surroundings, then walked to Empress Chen, took out a note and handed it to Empress Chen, saying, "Empress Mother, just sent this thing to my palace."

The Queen Mother took the note, and when she saw the contents of the note, her normally indifferent expression immediately changed slightly, but her expression soon recovered.

Looking at the prince, he asked sharply, "Someone sent it here? But who do you know?"

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince shook his head and said, "Empress mother, my son has not had time to find out, so he came to Kunning Palace!"

After listening to Empress Chen, her face turned cold, and then she gave a sharp lesson, "Prince, you are too reckless and careless. How can you trust a small note without checking the investigation?"

His Royal Highness was stunned, then lowered his head and admitted his mistake, "Mother, it's the fault of the servant!"

In fact, there is nothing wrong, just relying on a note from nowhere, he believed the information on the note, he was too impulsive.

"It's just that the son is too worried about the safety of the father and the emperor, that's why..." The prince defended himself deliberately.

Empress Chen stopped him from speaking, and then sternly reprimanded, "As the prince of a country and the future prince, you must be calm, steady and rational in everything, even if you encounter a major event that is about to come down, it is even more important. This is necessary! Only in this way can the civil and military officials of the imperial court be reassured, and the common people can be given a strong, calm and rational ruler of a country! Instead of acting impulsively when something happens like this!"

After His Royal Highness heard this, he immediately felt that he was really too impulsive.

He seriously admitted his mistake to Empress Chen and said, "What the mother taught me! It was the son who was impulsive, and the son knew that he was wrong, so let's not set an example!"

Empress Chen seemed to nod her head and said, "Well, since the crown prince knows he's wrong, it's better! The crown prince, you go down, this palace has to rest for a while!"

The prince opened his mouth, but the last words he said were, "Yes, the queen mother, the ministers retire!" He wanted to ask the matter on this note, how to deal with it. However, thinking of the lesson of Empress Chen just now, she did not ask again.

After the prince went out, Empress Chen's body, which she held up so hard, immediately softened, and her face turned pale.

Mammy Wang looked at it, and immediately shouted in surprise and worry, "Niangniang, what's wrong with you?" Immediately, she shouted to the outside world, "Someone, go and call..." Go and call the imperial doctor.

Empress Chen raised her hand to stop the grandmother Wang from calling someone. She shook her head and said, "Nanny, you don't need to call the imperial doctor, this palace is fine!" After speaking, she slowly sat up.

But looking at Empress Chen's bloodless face, Mama Wang was worried.

She said, "Niangniang, but you don't look very good!"

Empress Chen rubbed her dizzy forehead and said, "It's okay!"

Seeing Empress Chen's stubbornness, Madam Wang did not insist on calling the imperial doctor, but asked, "Mother, what happened?"

Empress Chen handed the note to Mama Wang for a look.

When she saw the contents of the note, Madam Wang said in shock, "How come?"

Empress Chen said with a very calm expression and stern expression, "It seems that His Majesty has not seen anyone for a long time, and everyone guessed that His Majesty has left the palace. Therefore, some ghosts, gods, snakes and horses are just about to move!"

Mammy Wang nodded, but she still said with some worry, "Miss, the matter of His Majesty's departure from the palace must soon become an open secret. You said on this note that the imperial concubine's maiden family is investigating His Majesty. The whereabouts outside the palace, you say, will they be detrimental to Your Majesty?"

Empress Chen shook her head and said, "The imperial concubine Zhou Yuexin and the third prince Yuwen Feiye can't do it, but the Zhou family's ambitions are too big, so they may not!"

Madam Wang was startled, "That lady, what should I do? What if Zhou Zhou's family really finds out the whereabouts of His Majesty, and they really do something to His Majesty?"

Empress Chen said calmly, "Who gave the Zhou family such huge ambitions and desires?"

"Imperial Concubine and the Third Prince!" Wang Ma immediately responded, "Niang Niang, you mean..."

Empress Chen nodded and said, "Since Your Majesty is not in the palace, then this palace, as the mother of a country and the head of the six palaces, has the obligation to clean up the harem of the harem for His Majesty, don't you think, Nanny?"

"That's right!" Mammy Wang nodded in response.

Empress Chen immediately ordered, "Place the Changle Palace!"

The person who lives in Changle Palace is Zhao Changle, one of the four concubines, Zhao Xian!

...

At this time, His Majesty the Emperor, who was very busy, did not know that he secretly left the palace, but it was already known, but it caused a **** storm in the six palaces!

Hundreds of acres of land, it took only two days to recover all the millet.

Of course, Lin Yuelan arranged for everyone to come and harvest.

After all, sometimes the sky is not beautiful, who knows, if it changes its face, it will change its face, so it is better to take it all back as soon as possible to be at ease.

Besides, she doesn't have to worry, there is no place to dry the recovered millet.

Long before planting rice, she had thought about where to dry the millet, how much space she needed to take, and so on.

Looking at the recovered Huang Chengcheng's millet, Yuwen Longyan and Princess Zhang's servants, they were even happier and more excited than the master Lin Yuelan.

Eunuch Zhang exclaimed at Yuwen Longyan, "Master, this old slave has the final say. This harvest reaches eight stones per mu!"

This is more than double the crop yield of the average farmer.

Yuwen Longyan faced the fussing Eunuch Zhang and said with a bluffing face, "Butler, I don't need you to tell me, I can also know!"

Last year, I received eight stones per mu. This year, there was no drought or flood disaster. There is no reason that the harvest will be less than last year.

Therefore, the high yield of eight stones per mu has long been shaped in his mind.

Eunuch Zhang said very excitedly, "The old slave used to be a farmer's baby. At that time, the yield per mu was only three or four stones. This is still the harvest when there is no natural disaster or man-made disaster, and the harvest is good. , it is very likely that there will be no harvest. At that time, we only had to starve to death. I think at the beginning, when I was in drought and no harvest, my family really had no choice, so I sold the old slave for some money, and then changed some food, so that the whole family can barely survive. If, "

Speaking of which, Eunuch Zhang's eyes were red, and there were still a few tears in the corners of his eyes, and he continued, "If our family had such a good harvest at that time, how could we have stored some food, and then when the disaster came, we would not As for the hungry family, they can't survive!"

Listening to Eunuch Zhang's words, Yuwen Longyan narrowed his eyes slightly and sighed in his heart.

Then he said to Eunuch Zhang, "You, don't be sentimental. I believe that these farming methods, girl, can be popularized soon. By then, people all over the country will have a good harvest, and there will be no more The days of starving to death and selling children and daughters to survive."

Eunuch Zhang nodded and said, "Well, Your Majesty Shengming!"

It's just that Yuwen Longyan looked at Wu Ming, who has been carrying millet for the past two days, and asked in confusion, "Why is Wenming picking millet all the time?"

Eunuch Zhang listened to His Majesty's words and followed his gaze, only to realize that it was Wu Huwei who had been picking the millet for the past two days.

Eunuch Zhang said with the same doubts, "That's right, why is it Wu (Wen)... The young master has been carrying millet, isn't it tiring?" Hundreds of acres of land and thousands of stone millet, one person is picking millet, not tired Weird.

"Master, I'm going to ask Miss Lin if you want to replace Young Master Wen?" After all, he was the first secret guard by the emperor's side, and he was really exhausting. After that, who will protect your majesty's safety? ?

Yuwen Longyan glanced at Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan, who were talking on the other side of the rice field, and then looked at Wu Ming, who was expressionless and serious, he immediately raised his hand and said, "No need. I believe the girl has her own measure. of!"

The person who can let Wu Ming pick millet by himself, except for Lin Yuelan, the master of Lin Jiayuan, does not think about him.

Therefore, he still acts as if he doesn't know anything!
