EBE Chapter 193 You Look Like Her
Chapter 193 You Look Like Her
The Queen said, "I dare not say."
"Just tell me!"
The queen could only say coquettishly: "The abbot said that although I am the queen, I cannot represent the king of a country. I hope that Your Majesty will go with me to pray for blessings next year."
The old emperor looked at the queen who was bowing her head and couldn't help but smile: "You said this yourself, right?"
The Queen started to act coquettishly: "I really hope that Your Majesty will go with me. It's so lonely in the mountains. I am thinking of Your Majesty and Jing'er. Jing'er is so young and has to stay in the palace alone. He must miss his mother very much."
When the old emperor saw his wife like this, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay, okay, if I have time next year, I will definitely go with you."
"Your Majesty is so kind. I will grind ink for you." The queen went over and stood beside the old emperor.
Her clothes were fumigated with incense, and when she was grinding ink, the fragrance came to the old emperor, and he couldn't help but smile again.
He is already this old, how could he not know the tricks of the women in the palace?
It's just a means to win favor.
"I'm tired!" said the old emperor.
After hearing this, the Queen couldn't help but ask, "Then I will wait for Your Majesty to rest?"
"Okay." The old emperor stood up.
The queen went to change the old emperor's clothes, asked the palace servants to make the bed, and then helped the old emperor to sleep.
Afterwards, she also lay down beside the old emperor and hugged him: "Your Majesty, do you want me to…"
The old emperor smiled and said, "Okay."
Although he has been feeling much better recently, he still wants to try if he can still do it.
The queen took off his clothes for him.
Candles were lit in the bedroom. Under the dim light, the queen saw the old emperor's wrinkled skin. That was the skin of an old man. The old emperor was older than her father.
When people get old, they start to smell like old people, a smell of rotting skin that can’t be washed away no matter how hard you try. You can only endure it.
The queen endured the nausea and served the old emperor.
But the old emperor still couldn't last long.
Before the queen could get back into shape, the old emperor was already lying down exhausted.
"I'm going to sleep first." He didn't dare to be presumptuous.
But the person next to me feels very empty.
She was naked, and her body felt hungry for a long time. She felt that she wanted any male.
Unfortunately, as the queen, she could only wait until the old emperor died before she could do whatever she wanted.
She even wanted the old emperor to die earlier.
But the eunuch heard the noise inside and reminded her: "Madam, you should get up."
There are regulations for sleeping with the emperor in the palace. As long as the emperor rests, the concubines must leave at night.
Of course, if she had the emperor's permission, she wouldn't have to leave, but the old emperor had fallen asleep, so even the queen had to leave.
The old emperor was getting older and more cautious about such things, so the queen had to leave.
She couldn't harm the emperor.
……
"Is there any movement at the Shangshu Mansion?" the Queen asked Nanny Liu.
Madam Liu came over and saluted, saying, "Your Majesty, no, the people we sent were all arranged on the periphery. It is said that the Shangshu Mansion has a rule that one must be proficient in martial arts to serve in the inner courtyard, because Madam Jing was kidnapped twice when she was in the southwest before."
The Queen said speechlessly, "What a bunch of rubbish! Does the Shangshu Mansion need guards? Do we need to send some guards?"
"I heard that the emperor has already sent masters from the palace to protect us, so there's no need for that anymore," said Nanny Liu.
The queen could only say: "Let those rubbish continue to watch. As long as they don't join the party struggle, I will not go against them."
……
New Year approached.
Li Yujiao received a reply from Chun Ge.
She mailed her letter in the fall and received a reply three months later, which was much faster than when she was in the southwest.
"What did Chun Ge say?" Jing Qishan asked.
Li Yujiao said: "I sent clothes and money to Chun Ge, hoping that he would come to Beijing, but he said he wanted to stay in Rongcheng. He has passed the examination and wants to continue studying."
Jing Qishan said: "This child has a big heart and doesn't want to always rely on us."
Li Yujiao was a little disappointed: "But he can always come to Beijing to see us. I also told him that there is a younger sister at home. Even if he doesn't come to see us, he should at least come to see my sister."
When a woman becomes a mother, she always feels that everyone should come and see her child.
Jing Qishan smiled and said, "Maybe he thinks it's not the right time yet. When he thinks the time is right, he will come naturally."
Li Yujiao calculated and said, "I haven't seen him for more than two years. Chun Ge should be fourteen now. A fourteen-year-old boy should have developed well and may be very tall."
Jing Qishan smiled and said, "In the countryside, you can almost get married."
"The money we gave him is enough for him to marry a wife."
Jing Qishan looked into the distance and said, "I hope he can get married and have children in the countryside, and live a simple life like this."
"Why do you say that, my husband?" Li Yujiao asked.
Did he realize something?
In his previous life, Chun Ge died before Jing Qishan came to Beijing.
Jing Qishan hugged Li Yujiao and said, "Madam, didn't you say that the pressure in the capital is too great and if possible, you hope to stay in the southwest forever? You are worried about being taken advantage of for the time being, not to mention that Chun Ge is just a child?"
Li Yujiao thought so too. Chun Ge came from the countryside to the capital. If he went to school, he might not be as good as those young masters in the capital who have been going to school since childhood. If he came to find a job, he could only do low-level jobs.
Even though he is already a scholar.
Li Yujiao wrote back to Chun Ge, asking him to concentrate on his studies and hoping that he would be able to go to Beijing to take the imperial examination one day in the future.
……
After the Spring Festival, the Grand Tutor in the court celebrated his birthday and invited Jing Qishan and Li Yujiao and his wife to join him.
Li Yujiao is now a second-rank imperial official with a noble status. She is no longer afraid of socializing. There are some things that no one can force her to say as long as she doesn't want to.
And as for that damn talent show, as long as she said she couldn't do it, no one dared to force her to make a fool of herself.
This time she sat at the table with the Grand Tutor's wife.
Not long after she sat down, the Grand Tutor's wife suddenly stared at her and said, "Madam Jing, you look like an old friend of mine."
"Oh, really?" Li Yujiao said with a smile.
She remembered that the last time she came to Beijing, someone also said that she looked like someone.
"I may have a common face and it's easy for me to have someone else's face." Li Yujiao said with a smile.
“But, I really think you look a lot like…” But the Grand Tutor’s wife just couldn’t say it.
Someone nearby came to Li Yujiao's rescue: "Since ancient times, beauties have all looked alike, because there is only one word that describes them: beauty. It could also be that they have the same temperament, so when you see them, you naturally think they are similar."
The Grand Tutor’s wife thought it made sense.
Women in this world who have the same temperament and beautiful looks will naturally be classified as beauties.
"Maybe I recognized the wrong person. I just felt that Madam Jing looked like someone, but I couldn't tell who she looked like. It's like us who are old. If we don't have a certain status, we will just be called Auntie when we go out."
Everyone laughed.
At this time, the butler in charge of welcoming guests shouted: "Welcome to the eldest prince, the eldest prince is safe and sound!"
