Chapter 156: Turbulent undercurrents (1)
Translator: 549690339
In the past three months, the weather in Beijing had changed.
The Emperor, who had ignored the state affairs for a long ti, ca to court again.
Since the Crown Prince had fallen unconscious, noble consort Lin had left the bedchamber and served the Emperor every day. For the past three months, she had taken care of him almost without wearing any clothes.
Back then, Imperial consort Lin had the eldest Prince and was in the lilight.
If it wasn’t for noble consort Yun back then, the current Empress would have given birth to Lu huaijiang, and she would be the Empress now.
From the eldest Prince, noble consort Lin had been sent to a foreign place to be an idle Prince. After Lu Huai and Jiang RI ca to power, she rarely took care of chores.
Now, he was more diligent.
At this mont, the palace lanterns were already lit, but it was still a little eerie in the middle of the night.
“Your Majesty, you look much better recently. Quickly drink this bowl of ginseng soup.” Noble consort Lin was over 30 years old, but she took good care of herself, and now she had a bit more charm.
Under the palace lantern, noble consort Lin’s figure was graceful, and her gentle words made the emperor’s brows bring so joy.
“Ah, you, these three months, I’ve been serving you every day, it must have been hard on you. I haven’t seen you for a long ti.” The Emperor was over 50 years old and had handed over more than half of the Imperial power to Lu huaijiang. He was already rarely in charge.
As Lu huaijiang grew up, the power in the emperor’s hands decreased.
Although he didn’t pass the throne, Lu huaijiang had almost made the Emperor a re figurehead.
The Emperor was satisfied with Lu huaijiang, but he was also a little afraid.
Who wouldn’t like such a son? However, he was no more than 50 years old and was at the age where he yearned for power. The Crown Prince had taken all the power away because of his age.
Noble consort Lin stroked her hair and said in a soft tone, “”Although I don’t see your Majesty often, I pray for Your Majesty every day, hoping that Your Majesty will be in good health and bring prosperity to the world.”
The emperor’s smile deepened.
“With this body of mine, how can I even talk about making contributions?” But his smile was deep.
“Your body is just right.” Noble consort Lin gave the Emperor a reproachful look, which made the Emperor even more satisfied.
In fact, the Emperor had doted on noble consort Lin back then. Otherwise, there would not have been rumors of noble consort Lin becoming arrogant because of his favor.
Noble consort Yun had a gentle temperant, but she had given birth to an intelligent son.
Born with the emperor’s decree.
In the beginning, when Lu huaijiang was made the Crown Prince, noble consort Lin was extrely dissatisfied and made a fuss twice. However, Lu huaijiang was a petty person and would always return the favor to the great prince a hundred tis after the incident. After a long ti, noble consort Lin did not dare to make a scene in front of him.
Later on, the first Prince was made a Prince on the surface, but he was secretly banished from the capital.
Imperial concubine Lin sealed off the bedchamber to avoid the brunt of the attack.
He had been hiding for six to seven years.
“How’s the situation at huaijiang? Has the Imperial physician co to report?” The Emperor rubbed the space between his brows, and Noble consort Lin obediently stood by his side, helping him massage his brows.
Imperial concubine Lin’s brows were slightly furrowed.
“Not yet, but last night, the few Imperial physicians from the Imperial physician Bureau with so skills went over. These days, his son had been writing letters and running around, hoping to find a good doctor for the Crown Prince. Speaking of which, this brat is already twenty years old. Chenqie originally wanted him to say a girl in the fief. He insisted that His Highness had not woken up and that he did not have any intentions. A son can’t be controlled by his mother.”
Imperial concubine Lin chuckled.
The Emperor frowned.
“How can he search for a wife? he is the Prince of great Zhou. Nonsense. There are many won of the right age in the capital’s aristocratic families, so we’ll definitely be able to find soone suitable.”
Imperial concubine Lin didn’t say anything, only smiling. “His fief is in the northernmost land, and the girls of the aristocratic families are all pampered by their parents. Which girl would be willing to leave ho for thousands of miles? It would be better to find soone with a lower status. If one’s status is too high, they are all juniors of the old official’s residence and it would make things difficult for Your Majesty.” Noble consort Lin was still as well-behaved as before.
The Emperor muttered to himself for a mont.
It wasn’t that he didn’t understand noble consort Lin’s aning..
