Cheng Ning, who was really drugged: "...Don't make excuses for staying in bed. It will be my responsibility if the courtiers have opinions later."
"Your Majesty, please come quickly, there is something going on in the prison." Wang Xi said earnestly outside the bed curtain.
Hearing the word "big prison", Wei Yanzhou opened his eyes silently.
When he got out of bed, Wang Xi explained while changing his clothes: "Zhou Kuo, the supervisor of the prison, knelt outside Qinghe Hall at the fourth watch and said that Li Nian escaped from prison last night. Fortunately, he was not in danger. Now he is there to apologize. Woolen cloth."
Wei Yanzhou didn't want him to change his clothes and looked at Cheng Ning.
Cheng Ning sighed, got out of bed, put on the dragon robe for him, and tied his belt, but didn't ask much about the court affairs.
"Since there is no danger, why are you here to plead guilty?" Wei Yanzhou stared at Cheng Ning's hair, and even took a small strand and twisted it on his fingertips.
"I want to ask Your Majesty's permission. The prison has not been renovated for many years. Can you allocate a sum of money to renovate it?"
If something like this happened to ordinary people, they would probably want to cover it up.
This Zhou Kuo was not afraid of being blamed, and even asked himself to repair the prison. I guess he was not a careless person.
Cheng Ning snatched the hair back from his fingertips, fixed it for him, and went back to bed to catch up on her sleep.
Wei Yanzhou reached out and held her waist, preventing her from leaving: "Give me a crown."
All the people in the He Palace were here, but she was the one who was the clumsiest.
Cheng Ning is good at everything in combat, but he is really not good at dressing up.
"That's right," Wei Yanzhou admired Cheng Ning's expression of unwillingness to crown her. There were many kiss marks from him in her open collar.
It seems to indicate that this person belongs to him from the inside out.
Wang Xi responded yes.
"This Zhou Kuo, is his grandfather the minister of the front palace?" Wei Yanzhou suddenly asked.
Cheng Ning put the crown on Wei Yanzhou, but he still wouldn't let her go, so she simply leaned against him, rested her chin on his shoulder and closed her eyes.
This sleepy look made Wei Yanzhou very happy.
Cheng Ning had just recovered from his injury, but last night seemed to be a bit too much.
So he half-hugged Cheng Ning and let the palace maid straighten the folds of his clothes.
"Yes, Your Majesty, the Zhou family was originally a high-ranking family, but since Mr. Zhou passed away, the Zhou family has declined."
That's why Zhou Kuo stayed as prison warden for more than ten years.
"The imperial court is short of people. Give him a chance. If the prison affairs are well managed, then grant him the original official position of grandpa."
At this time, Cheng Ning said: "Then your Majesty, hurry up and go to court."
This is driving people away.
Wei Yanzhou waved the palace maid away, picked her up and put her on the bed: "Can't you be more active besides sleeping?"
"One thing," Cheng Ning opened his eyes: "Eunuch Wang mentioned Li Nian just now. I remember if he had a son. We met him once when we went to Yuxiangji."
She heard Li Nian mention his three-year-old son last night.
It would be really sad if a child is innocent and goes to the guillotine at the age of three.
Wei Yanzhou seemed to have remembered: "What? Are you asking for mercy?"
He obviously hated Mrs. Li, but now he begged for mercy for his son.
"I started learning at the age of three. Even though I am a boy, I still don't understand anything at that age," Cheng Ning said.
But she didn't say it too bluntly. Wei Yanzhou only needed to understand what she meant. As for what to do, she couldn't shake his decision.
"I know," Wei Yanzhou scratched her nose: "If I promise you, can I get another reward?"
It’s so easy to talk today.
Cheng Ning thought about it, raised her head and kissed him on the corner of the lips, then immediately lay down again and seemed extremely annoyed: "Congratulations, Your Majesty."
After saying that, he covered his head with the quilt, turned over and fell asleep directly.
The fifth watch was indeed still early, so Wei Yanzhou went with her, and before leaving, he told the palace maid not to go in and disturb her.
Wang Xi sighed at the side: "Actually, even if the empress doesn't speak, your majesty is not planning to kill the child. He has already been sent into exile with the female family members."
Wei Yanzhou didn't care: "We can't let her worry in vain."
Make Cheng Ning happy.
**
After the morning court, Wang Xi used to send decoctions and medicines to Linhua Palace.
I happened to meet Xie Qingyi.
Xie Qingyi recognized that he was Wei Yanzhou's confidant and greeted him politely: "Good morning, father-in-law, are you going to Linhua Palace?"
Your Majesty stayed at Linhua Palace again last night, and the news spread throughout the night.
Xie Nianyao was still angry and smashed the broken porcelain all over the floor.
"Empress Hui Bin," Wang Xi carefully moved the soup away from Xie Qingyi and saw an injury on her hand: "What's wrong with this hand?"
"Nothing." Xie Qingyi hid behind her and walked with him: "Yesterday I told sister Xi Fei that I would give her pear paste. No, someone just sent it over. Qingyi sent it to sister."
On the other hand, the maid next to her, Yin Yin, was indignant: "My queen has a position now. Last night, the queen got angry and smashed things on the floor. She had to pick them up all by herself."
"Yinyin, what are you talking about?"
Wang Xi laughed along with him: "The Queen is more arrogant, but the concubine Hui is considerate. Who wouldn't say that the Queen is very lucky."
Yes, if Xie Nianyao had no family background, who would sympathize with her?
Xie Qingyi suppressed the anger in her heart and secretly calculated that she must be favored as soon as possible.
She no longer wants to live a life of oppression under Xie Nianyao!
Concubine Xi is very capable, so she naturally has to take advantage of her.
All the way to Linhua Palace, Wang Xi watched Cheng Ning drink the medicine.
Xie Qingyi was admiring at the side: "I heard that Your Majesty, for the sake of Concubine Xi's health, was afraid that her concubine would endanger herself by having an heir, so she gave her medicine every time after going to bed. How considerate."
Those who don’t know this really think she is envious.
Wang Xi lowered his eyes silently.
Cheng Ning said nothing.
Only then did Xie Qingyi realize that she had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly knelt down: "I said the wrong thing, please forgive me, Sister Concubine Xi."
"There is nothing wrong with what I say," Cheng Ning smiled: "As for the heir, the birth of the queen is naturally more important. How can I get ahead of it?"
Yes, the queen gave birth to a legitimate son.
Xie Qingyi secretly said, of course Xie Nianyao cannot give birth to an heir, she was the first one not to allow it.
The goal was achieved, Cheng Ning said: "Get up, the queen has not recovered yet, so she will be free if she doesn't need to pay her respects. Linhua Palace is boring. You are too young to stay here with me and it will embarrass you."
"It's not embarrassing." Su Qingyi said coquettishly: "I like talking to my sister, but Sister Xi Fei, the weather is warm, I passed by Jinping Garden, and some flowers bloomed, why don't you go and take a look?"
Inviting Cheng Ning out obviously had another purpose.
Although Su Qingyi knew how to advance and retreat, she was still young and it was inevitable that she would lose her temper.
Cheng Ning thought about it and asked Chunhua to bring him the cloak: "Then let's go out and have a look."
When we arrived at Jinping Garden, as expected, Xie Nianyao was there.
He was directing the palace people to swoop at butterflies: "Idiot, I want the one with blue wings!"
Su Qingyi pretended to be embarrassed: "I didn't know my sister was here too, Sister Xi Fei——"
But Xie Nianyao had already seen them, especially Cheng Ning, and glared angrily: "How dare you show off to me?"
