It's great, another day of lying down and idling in the palace

Hearing her direct words, the emperor was a little overwhelmed for a moment.

"What reward do you have?"

"Tell me, what have you been eyeing lately?"

The emperor looked at the other person in surprise.

Does the sun come out in the west today?

This woman actually knew how to ask in a tactful way, instead of just saying "Your Majesty, I want this and that"

"Don't you have enough money? I'll send someone to deliver it to you tomorrow. What else do you want? Expensive jewelry? Rouge? Or delicacies from land and sea?

Do you like the newly-tributed Night Pearls? I'll send you a box of them. You can use them at night without irritating your eyes. It is said that a kind of fish produced in the East China Sea has tender meat. I'll ask the kitchen to cook it for you tomorrow."

What is all this babble of chatter?

Ji Yunqing directly covered the other person's mouth. She felt that her good character was seriously insulted.

She was so angry: "Your Majesty, I don't want anything. I'm not such a greedy person!"

The emperor pulled her hand off: "I naturally know that Yun Qing is not such a person. Our Yun Qing is the most indifferent to fame and fortune."

Ji Yunqing: “…”

Are you sure this isn't meant to mock her?

Afraid that the emperor would think she was really indifferent to fame and fortune, Ji Yunqing threw away everything she wanted to say and hurriedly explained:

"I'm not, I don't have any. I love fame and fortune the most. I, I wanted to be a high-ranking official when I was little!"

She actually wanted to say that she could be a concubine, a queen, or a queen mother, and she didn't mind being an emperor.

But considering that the Queen, Emperor and Empress Dowager were still alive, she was tactful enough not to say so.

Alas, if the previous emperor was not usually dead, she would actually...

The emperor found her words very cute.

Deliberately teasing her: "What kind of official do you want to be? I might consider it."

Ji Yunqing's eyes lit up: "Is it really possible?"

As she spoke, her eyes could not help but fall on the emperor's official robes. The exquisite embroidery, the mighty and majestic five-clawed golden dragon, and even the auspicious clouds under the claws were all beautiful.

The emperor was not blind. When he saw her bright and eager eyes, he couldn't help choking for a moment.

"My dear, what are you looking at? Your mouth is watering."

Ji Yunqing reluctantly withdrew her gaze: "I didn't see anything. I just heard the emperor's question and thought about it casually."

You just want to covet my throne as soon as you think about it, right?

Ji Yunqing tried to defend herself. She said confidently, "It's mainly because I'm only familiar with this position, and I'm not familiar with the others."

"Let's not talk about this, Your Majesty. Let's continue discussing other issues."

Ji Yunqing knew very well that this topic was dangerous and he couldn't discuss it any further, so he quickly changed the subject.

"In fact, I heard that whichever concubine the emperor likes, he will benefit her family.

But I think the benefits should be passed on to my family, right?

So if there is any reward or promotion, just give it to me directly. Your Majesty, we are now a family!"

The emperor immediately grasped the key point: "A whole family?"

Where did this big family come from?

Are those wives of yours again?

The emperor was so angry that he said in a sad tone: "My beloved, why don't you take some medicine to recuperate?"

Ji Yunqing coughed lightly and simply said, "Let's not worry about these details.

What I mean is, if my parents, brothers, sisters, and brothers are talented, there is no need to say more, just do what you want.

If you don't have talent, you shouldn't make things difficult for others, isn't that right?"

If he didn't have any ability, he wouldn't use her name to cause trouble for her. If he really had the ability, she wouldn't suppress him or make an enemy of him.

After thinking about it, Ji Yunqing still reminded him worriedly: "If Your Majesty really wants to confer an official title——"

She rolled up her sleeves uninhibitedly, raised her chin slightly, and said boldly: "Then I will confer the title of Lord.

I know everything. I'm awesome! I can learn anything I don't know.

Well... I can have a twin brother who looks exactly like me, or a hermit who looks 50% like me.

If someone finds us sleeping in the same bed, you can tell them we were just chatting by candlelight."

An idea suddenly occurred to her: "Maybe no one will mention the talent show anymore."

There is no need to question whether she is controlling the emperor, because the emperor has his own hobbies!

The emperor listened to her words one after another, and finally hugged her and said, "My beloved, it's late, let's take a rest first."

Ji Yunqing sighed inwardly, okay.

Thinking of the emperor's poor health, Ji Yunqing worked very hard and ruthlessly thought of evil intentions, trying to make people retreat.

Although being a favorite concubine is glorious, she doesn't want to attract too much attention, so it's better to just squeeze people dry.

Let this man have some idea in his mind so that he won't come to her every day.

……

next morning

Ji Yunqing sat up, hugging the soft bedding, his expression unusually solemn.

She tried very hard last night, but why did she always feel like she was lagging behind?

Ji Yunqing could only think of one possibility and bit his lip secretly.

Damn it, he must have secretly taken some tonic.

I didn’t eat it, it turns out I’m the best.

Xuancao found that her master had woken up, so she came in and whispered softly, "My lady, you are awake.

Chonghua Palace has sent a lot of rewards from the Emperor, and they are all waiting outside. The Emperor has specifically instructed not to disturb you."

Chonghua Palace is the emperor's current bedroom.

Ji Yunqing replied lazily: "Hmm"

After receiving the reward, Ji Yunqing asked, "Where's Ruirui?"

"Your Majesty, the Fourth Prince left early in the morning."

Hongfeng replied without changing his expression.

Look at the sky outside the window now. It is already bright and the sun is already at noon, not to mention noon.

Ji Yunqing had long been accustomed to this schedule and did not feel embarrassed at all. He nodded and said, "Children are energetic and sleep less."

She can't do that, she's an adult.

Logically speaking, you should rest more.

As for the reason, don't worry about it.

When Ruirui came back in the evening, he saw his mother waiting for him.

He immediately ran to her happily: "Mom!"

Ji Yunqing casually touched the top of the child's head and said, "Rui Rui is back. How was your day?"

Ruirui then used her white and tender fingers to tell everyone what had happened today.

Hearing that this child was learning medical skills from Master Shen in the Minguang Palace, Ji Yunqing raised his eyebrows.

It turned out that what the emperor said last night was deliberately meant to fool her.

The imperial physician taught the prince medical skills in the palace. Ji Yunqing didn't believe the emperor's claim of not knowing.

After talking to the child with a smile, Ji Yunqing ordered Ruirui to work: "Go and teach your third sister how to write."

This was something the two kids had discussed.

Ever since Ruirui found out that his third sister couldn't read, he kept it in mind.

After the two children became closer, they agreed that Ruirui would teach the third princess one word every day.

It doesn't take much time and you can learn a lot of words over time.

After several days, Ji Yunqing was still her imperial concubine.

Concubine Liang felt secretly regretful.

It seems that Ji Yunqing is really stingy in providing benefits for his family.

If that’s the case, why don’t she do the opposite and try to persuade the emperor to grant official titles to the Ji family?

She couldn't see the emperor, but there were people in the previous dynasty who could see him.

As long as you become an official and have power in your hands, and are flattered by your subordinates, who wouldn't be confused?

So, one day the emperor heard such a request in the court.

"Your Majesty, I heard that there is a virtuous woman by your side. She has a gentle temperament, good character, a kind heart, a great talent for poetry, and is well-mannered in her words and deeds. She strictly abides by the code of conduct for women... She is a first-class extraordinary woman in the world."

The emperor came back to his senses instantly.

The first reaction was to frown in dissatisfaction.

Which one of the harem do you want to recommend?

What, he decided not to participate in the draft and now he has started to recommend on the spot?

The emperor's gaze fell on the official who stood up, his eyes were deep and flickering.

The official felt the emperor's oppressive gaze, and his frail body couldn't help but tremble.

In the blink of an eye, fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead and flowed down along the wrinkles on both sides of his cheeks.

Just when the official was about to give up, the emperor finally spoke:

"Then please tell me, Lord Xu, which pearl of noble character was left in my harem?"

He had an ambiguous smile on his face, and his tone was unusually soft, but it sounded even more unsettling.

The officials were used to the emperor's cold tone, so when they heard this gentle voice, only one thought rang in their minds:

"The weasel pays New Year's greetings to the chicken, but his intention is not good"

Several people who had seen the Imperial Concubine making a scene in the Imperial Study said that the Emperor could actually speak gently and calmly, but all his patience was only when he was facing the Imperial Concubine.

As soon as the people left, the emperor's face immediately turned cold, the contrast was very obvious.

The official surnamed Xu secretly groaned, and finally gritted his teeth and stamped his feet: "Your Majesty, the person I am talking about is the Imperial Concubine!"

The whole place fell silent.

The enchanting concubine that everyone in the court and the country was talking about a few days ago?

The emperor was also rarely silent, and his mood was complicated when he looked at the officials in the hall again.

As an official, especially an official in the imperial court, one must at least know some basic skills in judging people.

A virtuous woman?

Gentle temperament?

Good character?

Hui Zhi Lan Xin?

Adhere to the code of conduct for women?

Is this talking about Imperial Concubine Ji Yunqing?

The official surnamed Xu continued with a stiff upper lip: "Your Majesty, as everyone knows, the Imperial Concubine is a woman of excellent temperament, extremely virtuous and gentle."

If we don't count the disturbance she caused in the imperial study.

"The Imperial Concubine is upright, kind and generous"

If we ignore the fact that she deliberately put her own agenda in the evil book and wrote down all the officials who spoke ill of her into the palace, and then they became the emperor's concubines.

At that time, when people heard that the imperial concubine had deliberately distributed a lot of evil books to prove that she was the evil concubine, all the civil and military officials in the court secretly laughed at her.

I felt that she was indeed a stupid woman. She actually took the initiative to wear the title of the evil concubine that others avoided.

Later, when I realized that they all became the emperor's concubines in the book, and that most of the three thousand beauties in the harem were ministers in the court, it was already too late.

The contents of the book had already spread, and the emperor did not allow them to interfere.

After all, when the emperor first wanted to take back the book, they did not think it was an exaggeration and insisted on stopping him.

Wait until later...it’s better not to mention it!

The official surnamed Xu thought so in his heart and continued to speak against his conscience: "Your Majesty, I think that such a rare woman should be rewarded."

Reward the Imperial Concubine?

In an instant, all the civil and military officials in the court, regardless of their gangs or teams, had only one thought at this moment: what a treacherous minister!

Such outrageous words can be said.

When his concubine was mentioned, the emperor instantly became interested.

I am also willing to waste a little time talking some nonsense in the court.

"My dear, what do you think? Tell me."

The official surnamed Xu felt sad in his heart and secretly glanced at a certain place in the court, only to receive a threatening look from the other side.

Holding back tears, I said the ultimate goal:

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine is a man of outstanding virtue, so the Xu family who raised the Imperial Concubine must also be good people. County Magistrate Ji is now..."

The official chose to be vague about this, "The Imperial Concubine has a younger brother. It is said that the siblings have a very good relationship and are equally noble and pure.

This person happened to participate in this special examination, so the emperor might as well give him an extra reward, which would also save the dignity of the imperial concubine."

The emperor looked at the official.

Mixed feelings.

If the person being said wasn't Ji Yunqing, it would still have some credibility.

Then I thought of what Ji Yunqing said that day about wanting to be an official, and his ability to attract women.

I'm really worried that if I let him go, he might be seduced by officials or spotted by their wives.

"Lord Xu, you may have slept too much today. You are just talking nonsense. I will grant you leave. Go home and have a good rest."

Hearing the emperor's words, other court officials were afraid that the emperor would go back on his word, so they quickly responded for him: "Thank you for your consideration, Your Majesty. Minister Xu will definitely go back and reflect on his mistakes."

It seems that although the emperor values ​​beauty, it is impossible for him to bend the law for his own selfish reasons.

This is good this is good.

They were just planning to die in protest when the emperor agreed to appoint them to official positions.

The official surnamed Xu's legs went limp.

Going back for vacation?

Didn't say when he'd be back.

He looks dazed. Will he ever come back?

……

Upon learning that this plan would not work, Concubine Liang showed a hint of regret in her eyes.

It didn’t work.

It seems that Ji Yunqing is just like this in the emperor's heart.

In this case, could she try a different approach?

The weather was getting colder day by day in late autumn, and soon the first snow of winter fell.

The snow was not heavy this time. Snowflakes fell one after another, and people walking in the snow looked like a beautiful painting.

Ji Yunqing pinched the soft flesh on his waist. He had been traveling in a sedan chair for some time and had not exercised much, so he had gained a lot of weight.

She said to the third princess excitedly, "Let's go out and play. It would be so poetic to walk in the snow with an umbrella, or play the piano or paint in the pavilion outside!"

The more she spoke, the more fascinated she became.

The third princess gave a soft smile.

"it is good"

After persistent recuperation every day, the third princess is now in better health. As long as she wears thicker clothes, she is not afraid of the snow.

Ji Yunqing was thinking that, although it was snowing, the temperature was not that low, so he should quickly ask the children to come out and play and have some fun.

When the coldest days of winter arrive, we definitely can’t let this child out again.

As for why Ruirui was not invited to join us, it was because Ruirui had to go to school again.

When the third princess gets better, she will definitely find a school for her.
