After enjoying a few days of leisure, someone finally dared to disturb Emperor Liu's peace. The palace attendants did not dare to stop him, after all, he was the queen.
"Where are the officials?" The face under the warm sun was very calm. Fu Hou glanced at her and asked softly.
"The officials are taking a rest, I will inform the empress now!" Yantuo was still wrestling with Zhang Dejun during the investigation. Emperor Liu who was serving Emperor Liu in Qianning Palace was only a chamberlain, so he knew that when facing the empress, he obviously lacked confidence. .
Fu Hou didn't say much, just nodded, and then walked directly inside. In the bedroom, the beaded curtain swayed slightly. On the soft couch, Emperor Liu was lying on his side with his buttocks facing out. After sitting for a long time, not only did he have more fat on his waist, but his buttocks were also significantly larger than before. .
Of course, Empress Fu's attention was not on Emperor Liu's figure. She seemed not to hear any movement and was still lying silently. She seemed to exude a lonely temperament.
The chamberlain did not dare to approach the couch. From a distance away, he crouched and called softly: "Guan family! Guan family! The Queen is here..."
Unfortunately, after calling a few times, there was no response. He couldn't help but turn his head towards the back of Fu, with a little helplessness in his eyes. Seeing this, Empress Fu waved to him and said, "Go down."
The chamberlain looked at the empress and then at the seemingly unaware emperor, hesitating a little. It was not that he was worried about the absurd possibility that the empress would treat the emperor, but he did not get the signal from Emperor Liu, so he hesitated unavoidably.
But the Queen was not someone who could be offended. Seeing Fu Hou's eyebrows gradually frowning, she gritted her teeth and said quickly: "Yes!"
Only the emperor and empress were left on the couch in front of the bed. The palace became even quieter. They looked at the back of Emperor Liu lying on his side. The quilt covering him looked messy. There were also a few chapters thrown aside casually, as if they were watching. I fell asleep watching the memorial.
Slowly stepping forward, Empress Fu gently helped Emperor Liu cover himself with the quilt, then packed up the memorials and placed them on his pillow. He did not deliberately read the contents, but at that moment, the symbols still gained some key points. The information described in these memorials is the specific expenditure details of the Han court over the years.
The queen sat silently by the couch and stared at Emperor Liu leisurely, while the emperor lay quietly and fell asleep. As time went by, the atmosphere gradually became awkward.
After a while, Emperor Liu finally moved, turned over and lay down, opened his sleepy eyes, looked at the talisman, and said tiredly: "Are you here? Wait a minute..."
"You and I are so estranged from each other?" Listening to Emperor Liu's calm tone, Empress Fu said calmly, looking at Emperor Liu.
Seeing this reaction, Emperor Liu was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said: "I have been a little tired these past few days, both physically and mentally. The imperial doctor said that I need to rest. Qian Ning Palace is quiet here."
Emperor Liu's explanation was full of nonsense, as if he was looking for various reasons at random. Empress Fu looked at him: "The official family has not set foot in Kunming Hall for nearly a month. If you don't come to see me, why don't you allow me to come to see you?"
Hearing this, Emperor Liu couldn't help but smile: "Could it be that I'm jealous? Such words don't seem to come from your mouth."
Hearing this, Empress Fu also looked at Emperor Liu, her eyes so bright that Emperor Liu couldn't bear to look directly at him. Such words also don't seem to come from Emperor Liu's mouth. Doesn't he know Empress Fu? How can Empress Fu be just an ordinary little woman who is sour and jealous? This is the most extraordinary woman in the world.
Probably in order to cover up his embarrassment, Emperor Liu finally started to do it with his body propped up, and Empress Fu also helped to get a pillow for him to lean on. The eyes of the couple were finally at the same level. Emperor Liu looked at his queen and suddenly said with emotion: "You also have a few strands of white hair on your temples!"
"You're getting old!"
Empress Fu is still full of the temperament of a noble lady. She is the most noble woman in the world, but her time has passed. Without the blessing of her identity, she will never see her original grace and beauty again.
He didn't sigh, or even make any subconscious movements, he just said it in a calm tone. Regarding his aging, Fu Hou's mentality was obviously very open-minded.
Seeing this, Emperor Liu was touched in his heart and said with a smile: "People will grow old eventually. You and I, as husband and wife, will grow old together, but we will not be so lonely!"
As he said that, Emperor Liu's eyes finally revealed a rare tenderness, and he said warmly: "You have weak bones, so you should take care of yourself!"
After all, Fuhou suffered a serious illness that year. Although she survived, her body could not be said to be healthy these years. Hearing these simple but penetrating words of concern, Empress Fu's eyes also softened, and she responded: "I am living in the harem, everything is going well, there is no need to worry, but you are working hard to rejuvenate the country, so you need to be careful with yourself. Body!"
Emperor Liu and his wife knew each other and had a deep relationship. In fact, they did not need these heart-warming words to strengthen their relationship.
After a brief greeting, Emperor Liu asked, "Why do you come to see me?"
Empress Fu said: "Nowadays, the country is in trouble, the people are in trouble, the court is troubled, and there is unrest both inside and outside. As the emperor, you are resting in the palace, which will inevitably lead to speculation. Both the inner and outer palaces are concerned about you. The situation..."
"If the internal and external officials of the imperial court could focus half of their energy on serving the country and the people, instead of trying to figure out my thoughts and my words and deeds, then there would be no need to worry about the world being unjust or any difficulties. Can't get through?" Emperor Liu shook his head.
"What you said is biased! There is still no shortage of virtuous ministers and Liangbi in the imperial court!" Empress Fu said.
What Empress Fu said was always to the point, and it was true as he said. There were indeed many ingratiating people in the imperial court who were bent on making excuses and speculating on their superiors, but there was no shortage of practical talents. When working for Emperor Liu and the court, they would only know how to make excuses. , after all, there is an upper limit. If you want to climb up, actual governance ability is the foundation.
"Could it be that Zhao Pu and the others are looking for you?" Emperor Liu suddenly asked.
Empress Fu didn't seem to notice the suspicion in Emperor Liu's eyes, and just shook her head: "Without their presence, couldn't I have come to see you?"
"Of course you can!" Emperor Liu smiled, thought again, and said, "The court is certainly in troubled times, but after so many years, what kind of difficulties have it not experienced?
I can rest assured that there are Zhao Pu and others in the outer court. During the Northern Expedition, Zhao Pu was able to handle so many disturbances. Although the disaster in the Central Plains was serious, it did not really make them panic.
Even without me watching, they can still get things done. If they can't get it done well and something goes wrong, then I'll do it for them! "
Hearing what Emperor Liu said, Empress Fu couldn't help but said: "The official family is still as strong as ever. How can the ministers not be trembling with fear?"
Emperor Liu naturally didn't care about the "collision" in the Queen's mouth. He just remained silent for a moment, and then said calmly: "In their position, they plan their affairs and shoulder their responsibilities. This is my consistent philosophy. Give them authority and status." , honor, don’t let them repay mediocrity!”
Empress Fu didn't say anything about this, and it was inconvenient for her to interfere in court affairs. He also pondered for a moment and said: "Many people have died in the palace recently..."
When the investigation operation in the Han Palace was launched, one incident was revealed to the world, and the criminals were found out one by one, followed by a series of suicides in fear of crime. What Emperor Liu said that day in the Chui Gong Hall was really speaking of the Constitution of Heaven and following the law.
Emperor Liu raised his eyebrows and looked at Empress Fu in surprise: "I know that many people died, and they basically committed suicide out of fear of crime. They were all sinners and traitors who deserved their death. Why did it disturb your ears? Does it make you soft-hearted?"
After hearing this, Empress Fu shook her head and sighed softly: "It's not that I came to intercede for those sinners, nor do I feel sorry for their deaths. It's just that people in the palace have been in panic recently, even my Kun There are constant rumors in the Ming Palace, the country is in trouble, and the inner court is so turbulent, it is not a good thing after all!"
"Don't worry!" Sensing Empress Fu's worry, Emperor Liu waved his hand and said calmly: "A little ripple is not a big deal!"
