Dressed as the Regent's fox pet

Chapter 31

Hearing the news early in the morning, Fang Ying immediately followed Nie Mingchi in the carriage to the imperial city.

On the carriage, Nie Mingchi kept frowning, but never relaxed.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Fang Ying kept very quiet.The carriage soon arrived at the imperial city.Nie Mingchi hurriedly got off the carriage and went straight to Suoyun Palace.

Outside the Suoyun Palace, the palace servants who served the Young Emperor saw Nie Mingchi coming, as if seeing a savior, they hurried towards him, "Your Highness, you are here!"

"Where's the young emperor?" Nie Mingchi asked hastily.

"You're still kneeling inside!" The palace man was almost crying.

Nie Mingchi responded, leading the crowd towards the gate of Suoyun Palace.But when they saw the young emperor kneeling on the stone steps at the entrance of the hall, everyone, including Fang Ying, trembled.

The thin boy knelt upright on the snow-covered steps, and the five-clawed dragon pattern on the red robe showed his identity.

There was snow last night, and now there is also snow on his shoulders, which has not had time to be melted by the rising sun.

Nie Mingchi walked up to the young emperor, seeing his pale face, he quickly took off his cloak and put it on for the young emperor.

The young emperor refused, and he looked into the Suoyun Palace with no expression on his face.

"Put it on," Nie Mingchi insisted again and again, before the young emperor put on the cloak, but still knelt on the ground and refused to get up.

Nie Mingchi squatted down to look at him, "I've been kneeling all night, I can't continue to kneel down. The courtiers are all watching, what are you doing? Don't get angry anymore, get up quickly!"

The young emperor didn't speak, and Nie Mingchi felt his head hurt again.Although he knew that it was related to the Empress Dowager Chen, and also knew something about their mother and child, but the young emperor was the son of heaven after all, and he couldn't keep kneeling like this.

This incident seems to have something to do with the first emperor.The empress dowager Chen and the first emperor were notoriously bitter couples. The empress dowager Chen stayed in the cold palace by herself after giving birth to the young emperor, and was not taken to the Suoyun palace until the young emperor ascended the throne.

It can be said that the Empress Dowager Chen was very displeased with the young emperor.It is said that the young emperor was brought to see the empress dowager Chen just after he was born, that is, the then empress Chen was thrown to the ground when he first met. It can be said that he was very displeased with the birth of this child.

It was also for this reason that the young emperor was sent by the first emperor to be raised by the empress dowager Huo before the full moon, and he did not know what would happen if he continued to let the young emperor stay in front of the empress dowager Chen.

The young emperor has always been close to the Empress Dowager Huo who raised him, but the Empress Dowager Huo is not his biological mother after all.The young emperor always missed the Empress Dowager Chen, leaving a soft place in his heart for her.

But the Empress Dowager Chen stays in the cold palace all the year round, and the young emperor usually does not see her.Even if I saw it, let alone some cynicism.

To put it bluntly, the Empress Dowager Chen treated him not like a mother and son, but more like an enemy.

However, after the young emperor ascended the throne, the first thing he did was not to do anything else, but to personally go to the Leng Palace to invite the Queen Mother Chen out and enshrine her as the Queen Mother.

This was only after the young emperor went to the cold palace several times, and after repeated pleading, the Empress Dowager Chen was willing to move to the Suoyun Palace.

The empress dowager Chen had a grudge against the first emperor, and after the death of the first emperor, the empress dowager Chen transferred all the resentment to the young emperor, and never had a good face towards him.

As Nie Mingchi concluded, the Empress Dowager Chen hated all the men in the Nie family.

Even though Shaodi was her own son, she tried every means to humiliate him just because his surname was Nie.

The Empress Dowager Huo left after sitting in the Suoyun Palace last night, and it was already the next morning when she heard the news that the young emperor had knelt down all night.

She didn't even bother to eat breakfast, so she hurried to Suoyun Palace.

After coming here, I was slightly surprised to find that Nie Mingchi was also here.After being surprised, she walked up to the young emperor, knelt down and swept the fine snow off his shoulders for him.

"Stupid boy." Empress Dowager Huo said with a choked voice while sweeping the fine snow for him, "Get up."

The young emperor's expression loosened a bit, but he still didn't move.

Empress Huo sighed, got up and looked into the hall.I couldn't see the description clearly in the hall, and I didn't know whether the Empress Dowager Chen got up or not.

Empress Dowager Huo looked at Young Emperor, then at the half-open inner hall, and said, "I'll go and have a look."

Nie Mingchi nodded, looked at the young emperor's figure, and sighed softly.

Why didn't he want the young emperor to get up, but such a scene would happen almost every first day of the first lunar month, and he couldn't stop it.

Because the first day of the first lunar month is the birthday of the Empress Dowager Chen.

Nie Mingchi sighed softly, and stood aside silently.

Fang Ying stood by his side, seeing that the young emperor refused to get up no matter what, so he also knelt down by his side.

Shaodi felt that there was someone more beside him, and he was shocked for a moment. He obviously didn't expect Fang Ying to kneel down with him.

"Good brother, we share our difficulties together, and share our difficulties together. It's so boring just kneeling on your own. I'll accompany you." Fang Ying said.

This time, not only the young emperor, but even Nie Mingchi was a little stunned.

At this time Zhang Yong hurried to the front of the Suoyun Temple, and heard that the young emperor was kneeling inside, so he also knelt down, just kneeling on the other side of the young emperor.

"You..." The young emperor knelt down as soon as Zhang Yong came, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"There is no reason why your majesty is kneeling and your subordinates are standing. Don't worry, your majesty, and me." Zhang Yong said.

The young emperor looked at Fang Ying, then at Zhang Yong, and was speechless for a moment.

Nie Mingchi stood behind them, raising his eyebrows.

Empress Dowager Huo came out of the inner hall at this time, she walked up to the young emperor, and supported him with one hand, "Get up, don't kneel anymore."

Empress Dowager Huo's father and brother were both from the general family background, and she had also learned martial arts since childhood, so she brought the young emperor up under her auspices.

"But she asked me to get up?" Shao Di asked.

"That's right. Kneeling all night, it's time to go back. How do you look like kneeling like this when you're dignified?" Seeing that his knees were wet, Empress Huo said distressedly,

Nie Mingchi wrapped him in a cloak and supported him when he couldn't stand still, "Kneeling all night, my knees should be stiff."

Shaodi nodded, he felt numb from the waist down, only the cold feeling followed him everywhere.

"Let's go, we'll take you back to rest." Nie Mingchi said.

The young emperor nodded. In fact, he knelt down all night, waiting for only a word from the Queen Mother. Now that he has waited, it is indeed time to leave.

But the young emperor passed out within a few steps, he had to use his sharp eyes and quick hands to support the young emperor so that he would not slide to the ground.

Shaodi was picked up horizontally by Zhang Yong and brought him back to Haozang Hall.As soon as they returned to Haozang Hall, Nie Mingchi and Queen Mother Huo immediately sent someone to announce the imperial physician.

After waiting for a while, the imperial physicians arrived, and began to diagnose the young emperor's pulse as soon as they arrived.After the pulse diagnosis, it was confirmed that the young emperor had a cold, and everyone felt relieved.

But in the weather of the twelfth lunar month of winter, the wind and cold are not trivial, and you still need to be careful.

After the imperial doctor finished speaking, he withdrew. In the main hall, Empress Dowager Huo sat in front of the dragon couch and gently stroked the young emperor's hair, "Poor child."

Empress Dowager Huo saw Nie Mingchi standing at the side again, and said, "His Royal Highness, go back first, I will take care of Zhen'er here."

Nie Mingchi nodded, and respectfully led Fang Ying out.
