Chapter 509 The villain is the queen (26)
The next day, the news that His Majesty, who was not suitable for sexual intercourse, turned over Concubine Hui's sign late at night, spread throughout the harem and even the court.
The old guys are like old gossips. After discussing the affairs of their family, country and world all day long, they will routinely discuss the emperor's private life.
There is no way. Although the emperor is the lord of the world, he is actually subject to a lot of restrictions. He is surrounded by historians and supervisors. Every move he makes is in the eyes of these people. If there is a possibility of threatening national security, these old guys will take it. Come out and put it on the table and have a good chat.
Now that the emperor ignores his health and goes to see Concubine Hui in the middle of the night, what can the emperor do with his concubine? Lying under the covers and chatting?
This is terrible, Mingjun has already shown signs of being obsessed with beauty, and the ministers are worried about it again.
Above the court hall, hundreds of officials paid homage.
"Your Majesty, the dragon body is the most important!"
"Your Majesty, I think you can go to the Summer Palace to recuperate in the next few days. It just so happens that the weather has been cold recently. Your Majesty can recuperate your body. You must not put the cart before the horse."
The weather has been getting colder and colder recently, winter is approaching, and New Year's Eve will be held in seven days. During this period, the border is considered peaceful, and the general has returned to Beijing. It coincides with the New Year, and it is reasonable for the emperor to go out of the palace to recuperate at this time. After all, It's my annual break in two days.
Now that this has been mentioned, Hu Jun would definitely not agree in the past. He worked hard and never relaxed for a day.
The officials in the court also imagined His Majesty's reaction.
It must be that the New Year is approaching, the weather is cold, and the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the people on the border have not yet been solved. How can the king of a country rest first?
This is the case every year. In the seventeen years since His Majesty has been on the throne, he has never left the palace for a parade in advance. If there is a lack of harvest in a certain year, he will even cancel the annual leave and stay busy until the end of the year.
This year may be the same.
Everyone was already preparing to flatter everyone, but the emperor's voice slowly came from the throne.
"What Jiang Shilang said is absolutely true. From today on, all my beloved ministers will go back to last year's vacation. As a means of leaving the palace, the Ministry of Rites is preparing to go down. This year's New Year's Eve will be spent in the Summer Palace." There was a dead silence in the audience, and the ministers bowed their heads. , looking at each other.
After a long while, the master quickly stepped forward, knelt down and shouted.
"Thank you Lord for your kindness."
Everyone behind him followed suit, knelt down and shouted.
"Thank you, Lord!"
——
This year’s trip to the Summer Palace was a grand one.
It was the same in previous years. The emperor and his concubines went to the palace to escape the cold and spent the New Year here.
This can be regarded as the biggest event of the whole year in the entire palace. The concubines can meet their parents' families, and the palace officials can also rest and relax for a few days, get some reward money, and get together to drink some wine, which can be regarded as celebrating the New Year.
The day before departure, people from Yangxin Hall came to inform them that Concubine Hui would accompany them on this trip.
Along with Concubine Hui, there were three other concubines. The remaining concubines stayed in the palace. They could go home to visit their relatives, or they could stay in the palace and live alone. Anyway, the emperor didn't take one with him, so most of the concubines will choose to go home.
After a year of being angry in the palace and holding it all in, I can go home and talk about it.
It was normal for the four concubines to go together. They were the ones accompanying them every year. However, this year, His Majesty changed the usual ceremony, omitting a lot of red tape and bringing many fewer people. He only brought four concubines with him.
