Liu Xin, the emperor of Jizhou, had a low-ranking mother and had no relationship with the throne at first. Unexpectedly, Emperor Li died young and had no heirs.

In the autumn of the eighth year of Jixing, Your Majesty will celebrate with the whole world.

Since this time was the birthday of Emperor Jizhou, the other four countries in Kyushu sent envoys to congratulate them with gifts.

Compared with the hustle and bustle outside, the Prince Regent's Mansion located in the imperial city is much quieter.

Jian Xiaonian found out that the mansion hadn't replaced the lanterns and colored silks for a long time, and he found out after asking Fudong. In previous years, only the door was hung for the occasion, so the mansion didn't notice the change.

"In two days, there will be decorations on the road from the main entrance to the main courtyard. If His Majesty sends someone to deliver a reward that night, the angel will come in from there to issue the decree."

Someone: "..." The plastic brotherhood that is only superficial is really a reality!

Little did he know that this "superficial effort" was all Jiang Changshi's own decision. He specially ordered some extremely exquisite lanterns and placed them at the door.

Jian Xiaonian remembers that when he was still at home a few years ago, lanterns and colorful silks would definitely be hung in the house every time of the autumn season. Although the styles were not too complicated, they would be lively and family reunions on the occasion of official birthdays.

Unexpectedly, there would be no such activities in the Prince Regent's Mansion. Xiaonian thought: Prince Yu himself will go to the palace that day, so the mansion will be even more deserted.

Originally, he wanted to take advantage of the colorful lanterns and get a horse-racing lamp for the little tiger cub to have fun with, but now Doctor Jian completely gave up.

Fortunately, after a long time in the official family, it will be the Moon Worship Festival, and it will be the same if he finds a way to get a lotus lantern or a rabbit lantern for the little guy, so Xiaonian was not disappointed for too long.

During this period of time, he accompanied Liu Yu to take the medicinal bath, and accompanied him to try the nepeta a few times, and every time he entered, he only saw the white tiger, and occasionally he could take the opportunity to touch the paws, and he was satisfied.

Apart from the slight trouble of having to wash the big cat every time he comes back before he dares to see the little tiger cub, most of the time he lives a "very fulfilling" life.

Because the size of tiger cubs is always short, Jian Xiaonian asked Jiang Zhi, and the answer he got was that they are like this and grow relatively slowly.

It is said that this is the answer of an "expert". Jian Xiaonian also asked the owner of the palace to prove it, but he was dubious in his heart - half a year is not long at all, is this more than a problem of slow growth?

There was a faint answer in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it, and he didn't even dare to think about it. Seeing that Liu Yu and Jiang Zhi didn't say it, Xiaonian pretended he didn't know.

Anyway, little tiger cubs are still little tiger cubs, and Jian Xiaonian still regards them as treasures in the palm of his hand.

In the blink of an eye, it was the Qianqiu Festival. There were official banquets in the palace for three consecutive days, and there were celebrations in the city. Ordinary people could walk outside to watch the celebrations and various folk activities.

Sure enough, Prince Yu was called to the palace and never returned. Although Xiaonian wanted to go out for a walk, he was afraid that the cubs would be unhappy in the yard alone, so he gave up the chance to go out and play, and stayed with them in Wanfengyuan.

I don't know if he heard me mention the marquee, but Jiang Changshi finally sent a six-sided lantern.

I saw a majestic big tiger painted on each side of the gorgeous lantern, walking through the forest, jumping among the rocks, or lying down in the shade of the trees... It's like a real scene, fascinating

Because it was made by imperial order, the white tiger painted on it did not avoid black stripes on a white background, so it looked lifelike, and Jian Xiaonian couldn't help but think of the one he saw with his own eyes.

Touching the colored painting on the lamp with his fingers, thinking about those dark blue eyes, and thinking about some kind of fascinating furry touch, Jian Xiaonian couldn't help showing a slight (idiot) smile.

——The big meow above is far less beautiful than the big meow he saw!The one in the main courtyard is the most handsome and most...

While Dr. Jian was pondering in his mind, suddenly there was a sound of "噗味" next to him, which interrupted his train of thought.

Dr. Jian lowered her head and looked to the side, her eyes immediately widened in shock.

I saw a small paw of the little tiger cub had broken through the lamp surface and stuck into the lamp, stuck on it and pulled it out, so it looked at Xiaonian innocently, and howled, with a milky voice There is a trace of small grievance that cannot be ignored.

——It's not the baby's fault...it's the lamp that moved first!Aww~

Completely forgetting that the white tiger lantern, which is worth several gold, was "scrapped" before staying in the Wanfeng Courtyard for an hour. At this moment, Dr. Jian, who was only worried that the little guy would be scalded, quickly grabbed the obedient little paw, and carefully pulled it out. After pulling it out, give it a soft whirr.

After careful inspection, no injuries were found, so he patted the little guy's butt angrily: "Naughty!"

Knowing that he had caused trouble, the little guy quickly threw himself into Jian Xiaonian's arms, twisted and rolled, and rubbed Jian Xiaonian's hand from time to time, showing his belly for him to touch.

Doctor Jian was not willing to lose his temper with it, so he squeezed his little paw and let it go.

Obediently realized that he was not angry, and immediately became "arrogant" again... As a result, the other five sides of the expensive colored lantern were not spared in the end, and there was a small hole in all of them.

Pity the majestic big white tiger on it, either missing ears or eyes, how can it be so handsome!

……

Unlike the Wanfeng Courtyard, which was quiet and warm, it was a very lively time in the palace.

Your Majesty has entered the age of forty, and he is already eight years old in charge of Jizhou. Now the chaos of power changes in the previous dynasty has gradually subsided. Although the counties are not completely stable, people are still quite fond of the days of He Qing Hai Yan, Shi He and Sui Feng. looking forward to.

When the banquet started, the emperor was seated in the hall, and the great music was played. After His Majesty took his seat, the princes went up to the hall one by one, and the regent Liu Yu occupied the lower left of the official house.

Then, civil and military officials of the fourth rank and above filed in from east to west, stood in the hall, and performed praises and salutes.

Guanglu Temple opened the jue and poured wine, and presented it to His Majesty. At the same time, there was great joy, and all the officials knelt down. After the emperor toasted and drank, the music stopped.

At this time, Guanglu Temple drank wine for the emperor, and then there were several rounds before the big meal was played, and the big music was played.

The officials were invited first, and then there was a family banquet, so the emperor returned to the harem not long after the banquet began.

Before leaving, he glanced over the group of officials and murmured: "I have lived another year, it is really gratifying."

With the ears of several princes, they naturally stiffened their bodies when they heard what the officials said, not daring to make any special movements.

Only the regent Liu Yu glanced at the emperor indifferently, but did not speak.

Liu Xin glanced back at him, seemed to be in a happy mood because of seeing someone close to him, smiled more gently, and drank the wine in the glass before turning and leaving.

Looking at his back, Liu Yu frowned slightly, feeling vigilant in his heart.

At this time, the officials in the palace holding the cups and chopsticks were actually not at ease.

After all, what happened in the palace before has been widely spread, involving the Xu family from which the Empress Dowager and the noble concubine came, and the Jiang family, the regent's niece, how could people take it lightly.

After His Majesty succeeded to the throne, due to many reasons, the harem has not been full. In the past few years, the only high-grade concubines in the harem are the noble concubine Xu Gui, the outstanding concubine Wan, and the deceased concubine Yuan.

Originally, Concubine Xu Guifei was the only one who was favored and gave birth to the eldest son of the emperor, which was even more beautiful, but in recent years, His Majesty has gradually gotten close to Concubine Wan, and even mentioned to the Queen Mother that he wanted to make another wife.

Although Concubine Wan's father was only the third master from the Shangzhu Kingdom's mansion, he was related to the Prince Regent after all, and his background was not bad. In addition, he was naturally beautiful and had a beautiful appearance. It has already soared into the sky.

In the early years, His Majesty also wanted to promote Concubine Yuan and Concubine Wan, but the Empress Dowager stopped them on the grounds that they had no children.

Later, concubine Yuan passed away unexpectedly, His Majesty seemed disheartened, and did not mention this matter for a long time.

Until this year, the official family suddenly wanted to confer Concubine Wan as concubine Shu, and their attitude was extremely tough, as if they didn't intend to listen to the Queen Mother's dissuasion at all, and insisted on going their own way.

According to the ranking of the four wives of Jizhou Gui, Shu, De, and Xian, Concubine Jiang Shu and Concubine Xu are just one step away!

If concubine Shu, who has been named wife, is favored and can have a prince in the future, it will be difficult to judge who will be the queen.

There was a lot of fuss in the palace because of this incident, and Concubine Wan's father was "running around" in the name of Jiang's family, trying to give his daughter some support.

Under the prestige of the Xu family, no one dared to talk to him at first, but His Majesty's attitude has affected some people. Recently, some people even started to support him openly, wanting to profit from it.

If His Majesty is determined to confer the title of Madam, then the banquet in the palace tonight must be "extremely lively".

Everyone seemed to be celebrating the official's birthday, but they were actually observing carefully, waiting for the news of the "dust to settle" from the palace.

However, to everyone's surprise, although there was news in the palace that His Majesty had sealed a wife during the family banquet, the protagonist of this story was replaced by someone else.

"Concubine Wan's singing today reminded His Majesty of Concubine Yuan who was also good at singing. Because of her pity for her beautiful appearance, she died young, so she wanted to posthumously concubine Shu, and the Queen Mother also agreed."

——A living person failed to take this position, but let a dead concubine occupy the fourth wife's position, how can it not be surprising!

Not to mention how heartbroken the person whose dream had been dashed was at the moment, anyway, the ministers really couldn't figure out what happened, which made His Majesty, who had always been very tough this time, change his mind and made a compromise.

But when they thought about it carefully, it was clear at a glance which one was more threatening to the Xu family, Concubine Shu, who only occupied the top spot, or Concubine Shu, who was born in the Jiang family.

Compared with this incident, what happened afterward seems to be less noticeable.

After the Qianqiu palace banquet, His Majesty rewarded the royal family and courtiers who were close to him. At this time, the incomparably noble Prince Yu's mansion has always been the only one.

However, in addition to gold, silver, satin, and rare treasures, there is another reward this year, which is extremely special.

In order to celebrate the birthday of Emperor Jizhou, Jing Guo sent [-] beautiful beauties along with the gift, and Liu Xin gave two of them to his younger brother, the regent Liu Yu.
