188 Private Interview
Before he entered the door, he heard Goro in the yard coaxing the child.
With the babbling words, Goro coaxed this, "Yi'er is not allowed to eat her fingers, is it dirty? Come on, Daddy gives you a candy stick and bite this!"
While coaxing the one, "Ke'er doesn't want to lie down? Want Feifei? OK, Dad and you are playing Feifei with you."
The scene seems to be busy, but it exudes infinite warmth.
The emperor stopped for a long time and couldn't bear to interrupt the family joy of pushing the goalkeeper. He was so handsome that he showed a longing expression on his charming face.
He sighed quietly, not knowing whether it was for himself or Cui Ling, "This should have been mine..."
Cui Ling couldn't understand the meaning of this sentence and frowned gently.
But the next moment, the emperor's expression became brighter like a flower blooming in March.
She thought in her heart that the emperor might have envied Goro and wanted to experience such a father-son relationship.
Thinking of this, she smiled and said, "When the emperor becomes a relative, the beauties in the harem will be able to get around her children soon."
The emperor was slightly stunned, with mist rising in his eyes, but he forced himself to laugh, "Yes."
When Wuro heard the movement of the outer compartment, he came out with Ke'er in his arms. He was surprised to see that it was the emperor, "Emperor, why are you... you... here?"
He looked around and saw that the emperor had only brought a few personal guards, and he seemed to have sneaked out of the palace. He frowned and said, "You are not the same now, how can you leave the palace at will? If there is something wrong, I will send someone to call me into the palace."
After a pause, he asked hurriedly, "Is it really something I have to ask me for?"
The emperor smiled at Goro, "The deep palace is lonely, I just miss you."
He deliberately raised his eyebrows, "How come, don't you want to see me?"
This is ambiguous, and the emperor's beautiful face is like a sudden flash of light, which is extremely evil.
Cui Ling got goosebumps at the moment, and couldn't help but look back and forth at Wulang and the Emperor with suspicious eyes.
She thought to herself. These two people have grown up together since childhood and they will not be together day and night...
Then she shook her head quickly, trying to sway the unreliable thoughts. Really, Goro has married her. The couple is loving, and they are affectionate, and they have a pair of children. What are they thinking about?
Wulang hurriedly welcomed the emperor in, "Does the Empress Dowager know that the emperor left the palace?"
While teasing Yi'er, who was well-behaved in the cradle, the emperor replied, "I told her to my mother."
His eyes were curious. "How come the children's hands and feet are so soft?"
Goro smiled and said, "Of course. I tell you that when they were born, they were soft all over, and I didn't dare to hug them, for fear that if you accidentally get hurt or hurt."
Seeing that the emperor was quite interested, he couldn't help but automatically enter the dad mode and talked about the parenting lesson he had figured out from beginning to end.
Even Cui Ling was bored when she heard it, but the emperor listened with great relish and asked a few questions from time to time.
Seeing that the two of them were having an odd chat, Cui Ling quietly stepped out and took Mujin to the kitchen.
Master Liu has become a kinship with Humming Lady Zhou, and now it is the newlywed. The love between the couple is directly reflected in Master Liu's face. Not only does his face turn rosy, but he also looks much younger.
Seeing Cui Ling come in, Master Liu hurriedly greeted him, "Madam is here, are you trying to make some fresh dishes today?"
Cui Ling lowered his voice and said, "The emperor is here, make some fresh ones, lighter."
She paused, "You can do this meal yourself today, don't let others know. You will test it before it is served. Be careful and have no mistakes. Do you understand?"
The expression on Master Liu's face suddenly became solemn. He nodded, "Yes, there must be no mistakes. I will do it myself to ensure safety."
The emperor's diet is particularly important.
Master Liu stayed in the imperial kitchen. Although he had never cooked dishes for the emperor himself, he had seen too many experiences and knew the rules.
So, after Cui Ling gave the order, he immediately arranged it. All the ingredients were done by himself, and he passed by him without any mistakes. He used all his life's skills to make a light-tasting meal.
The emperor and Goro talked about Gyeonggi-wei from parenting in the house.
After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Goro should take office as the deputy commander of the Gyeonggi Guard.
This is a hot and powerful position. The emperor insisted on putting Goro here. Although he wanted his confidants to slowly occupy an important position, he might not have to use a high position to trap Goro in Shengjing City so that he could visit him in private from time to time.
Well, just like today.
But after the appointment was issued, the emperor discovered that Meng Liang, the commander of the capital guards, was a bit... the man was fierce and harsh, and he was also a little petty.
He felt a little guilty towards Goro.
Originally, the wife who coveted someone else's life was not kind enough, and she even placed her under such a cruel boss. She didn't know the inside, but thought that he and Goro had a deep hatred.
So the emperor thought to try his best to make Goro's life easier. He secretly told Goro to his close ministers to collect Luolai's Mengliang's weaknesses and small reports.
Then he said firmly that no matter what problems arise between Goro and Meng Liang in the future, his good brother will definitely stand on Goro's side without hesitation.
Goro was so grateful that he said, "Your Majesty, you are really my good brother!"
The emperor also said very seriously, "Good brothers will last forever!"
After the two reached an agreement on the matter of Gyeonggi-gu, another major issue began - the emperor's empress and the selection of concubines.
The emperor asked Goro's opinion, "Which one do you think is more suitable for these candidates?"
Unlike Gu Zuo when he was at Dongshan Beizhuang last time, Goro still answered this time. He pondered for a moment and said in a low voice, "If the emperor insists on listening to my foolish opinions, then I will say it boldly and unrestrainedly!"
He paused, "I think the girl from Chengen Hou Liang's family is pretty good."
The emperor's eyes moved slightly and he asked in a low voice, "Oh? Tell me why?"
For him, the Queen's list of alternatives does not make much sense.
There was no woman he loved, so no matter who became the queen, there was no difference for him.
But it's just a position, who can do it is the same?
But if he had to choose, Chu Yun, a girl from the Empress Dowager's mother's family, was a good choice.
Of course, he thought it was good. It was just because he saw the empress dowager's forbearance over the years and her lifelong regrets. As the empress dowager's son who was as close as flesh and blood, he hoped to realize her dream when she was old.
Although the queen mother had a respectable status and had always ruled the harem, she had never been the queen in her life.
This is her biggest regret.
The emperor wanted to make up for this regret for her, that was to make a daughter of Liang the queen.
But he kept this idea in his heart, no one guessed it, and never mentioned it to anyone.
Goro's thoughts coincided with him at this moment, but he wanted to know why.
Goro smiled and said, "The Great Storm Dynasty is now peaceful and prosperous. It is not an extraordinary time. The queen does not need iron-fisted means. Your position is stable, as stable as Mount Tai. You don't need a strong queen of your mother's family. On the contrary..."
He paused, "If the empress's family is too prosperous and the relatives in charge of the emperor's power, it would not be a good thing."
The emperor raised his eyebrows, "So what?"
Goro continued, "So, Chengen Hou Liang's family is a good choice."
Like the old lady's family, the Liang family was both a military general from Xiling City and started his career through military merits.
The old lady's family is still stationed in Xiling City, but the Liang family entered Shengjing City because of the Empress Dowager.
However, the Empress Dowager has never been favored and is very low-key, so the Liang family did not flourish because of the Empress Dowager. It was just because they still had some military power, so they acted appropriately.
When the Empress Dowager helped the former emperor to seize the throne, the Liang family's contribution was later exchanged for the title and salary of the Empress Dowager and Cheng'en Marquis.
But the former emperor was so smart, and Empress Jiang had to oppose the Empress Dowager in every way, so the Liang family of Chengen Hou did not have any real power in the court except this title.
The Liang family has no more expensiveness, no more power.
But because of this, it is more and more suitable for a queen.
Goro gave the emperor a reason to justify the Liang girl as the queen. He finally smiled on his face, "Ajun is right."
He thought for a while and asked again, "It seems that Miss Cui's cousin, the cousin of his sister-in-law, is also on the list. I wonder what the lady is?"
The last time when the Cui family was mentioned for some reason, Lord Lin, the commander of the Imperial Guard, once said that his wife mentioned that Miss Cui Shiwu was a rare lady in Shengjing City. She was not only good at playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also her appearance was beautiful.
Because of Cui Ling, the emperor always had a little more fantasies about the girls in the Cui family. He wanted to know if Miss Cui Shiwu was really as Lord Lin said, and she was an excellent candidate.
He lowered his head slightly and thought to himself, "If Cui Shiwu was three points like her, that would be great..."
Goro frowned when he heard the name, "It was not supposed to be ill-mouthed about my wife's family, but this Cui Shiwu is really too inappropriate."
He said with some angrily, "The emperor just saw Ling'er's left hand? These are all good things that Cui Shiwu did!"
After Cui Ling's palm fell like that day, Goro did not give up and sent a few people to investigate the ebony box.
The ebony box belongs to a wife from the third bedroom of the Cui family, but the box has been sent out.
The one I gave was the wife of the eldest son of the eldest son.
An old lady in the fifth house has a good relationship with the old lady in the long house. It is confirmed that Miss Fifteen saw that the box looks good, so she took it back, so the last box belongs to Cui Fifteen.
As for the day Cui Ling fell and the time point, Wulang also sent someone to inquire in detail and just calculated that the person who put the box and set up a trap on the road where Cui Ling passed was Cui Ling!
After hearing this, the emperor frowned, and a hint of cruelty flashed in his eyes, "It turns out that Miss 15 of the Cui family is so... amazing..."
He showed a cold sneer on his lips, "I want to see it." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations, monthly votes, and your support are my greatest motivation.)
