Funing Hall

In the two lifetimes combined, Zhao Cong considered himself a man of great style.

He used to be a classy teacher. Although besides the teacher, he also had a deputy job and family affairs, but no matter who made him angry, he also tried to deal with it as calmly as possible.Showing your true emotions is a failure.When people are angry, it is difficult to control their speech and even more difficult to control their facial expressions. Although the face does not look hateful, it is also indecent.

He has always demanded highly of himself and never shows indecentness to others.

This is even more so when he became the emperor in this life. The only time he lost his composure was when he faced Zhao Shiqi.

He knew he shouldn't have done such an unremarkable thing.

He shouldn't be angry about things like this, and he shouldn't be angry about what a little girl did.

But he is very angry! !

Angry, he suddenly took Fu Lu out of the palace quietly.There are many palace gates, the Donghua Gate is commonly used, and there are also some gates for other purposes.He is the emperor, he can go wherever he wants.He and Fu Lu came out of the Chongzheng Hall, went around the Gongchen Gate in the north, which was always a little crowded, and left the palace.

After making a big circle, the two of them stood outside the gate of Zhao Mansion.

The person at the porter came over immediately. He was a newcomer. He had never met Zhao Cong before, and he didn't know him, but seeing that he was full of dignity, he immediately saluted respectfully and asked, "I don't know who Mr. Lang is?" ? Our lord is not at home today."

Fu Lu said: "Just get out of the way."

Fu Lu was an eunuch, his voice was soft, the porter understood it immediately, he knew that he was from the palace, so he didn't dare to stop him, and greeted Zhao Cong inside.

Zhao Cong stepped into the door, but didn't go any further, but asked: "Did someone send a gift to your house today?"

Although the concierge is a newcomer, he has been working for Zhao Shiqi in Hangzhou, and he is the most loyal. When he heard this, he hesitated whether he should answer.

Knowing that His Majesty was in a bad mood, Fu Lu said angrily, "Your Majesty is asking you something!"

The concierge was startled, and hurriedly said: "If you go back to His Majesty, people will send gifts almost every day."

"What about today?"

The concierge didn't dare to hide any more, and pointed to a row of rooms behind him: "Miss Yan Mo is busy these days, taking people outside, and there is no time to make arrangements, and they are all here."

Zhao Cong glanced at it and said, "Let everyone be carried into the main courtyard." After that, he lifted his feet and walked to the main courtyard.

"..." The porter looked at his back in confusion.

Fu Lu looked back at him and scolded in a low voice, "Why don't you go soon?!"

"Yes yes yes!" The concierge turned around and asked someone to move.

Five or six people moved twice and moved all their things into the main hall. Zhao Cong sat in the first seat drinking tea, without saying a word, with a calm face. good.

The concierge said cautiously: "Your Majesty, they have all moved here."

Only then did Zhao Cong put down the teacup, and looked at those boxes, large and small, all on the floor.

The concierge was afraid that His Majesty would think that their husband is not good at receiving gifts all day long, and said again: "Your Majesty, these are all contacts, and the gift boxes seem to be many, but in fact they are just food, medicinal materials, cloth, calligraphy and paintings, and are not worth much. , Precious parts." As if to convince Zhao Cong, the concierge specially opened an extra large gift box in front of him, and inside was a vase, but it could be seen that it was just made by the official kiln, but the color was rare and out of ordinary. It is difficult for others to buy, but in the family of officials, you can always buy it with some money.

But, what does Zhao Cong care about?

The concierge saw that His Majesty was still expressionless, and said again: "We all have to return the gift. Your Majesty, look at this—" He opened another one, and there was cloth inside, "This is all cloth, and—" He also asked Then open the others.

Zhao Cong called out: "Slow down."

"His Majesty?"

"Show me that." Zhao Cong pointed to a cyan object in the box.

The concierge was a step slower, and Fu Lu quickly took out the blue purse from the box and handed it to Zhao Cong.

Holding it in Zhao Cong's hand, it feels the same as the purse he touched that day, and Zhao Cong's hand can't help but tighten again.He looked at the box again, and there were other purses in it, and he asked, "Which house did this come from?"

The concierge hurriedly searched for a stack of gift slips, finally took out one, and handed it to him: "Your Majesty, here are the gift slips."

Zhao Cong looked directly at the signature, Lin Fu.

He already knew from Shao Yi the relationship between the Lin family and the brothers and sisters of the Yi family.

As a stylish emperor, Zhao Cong still felt that he really shouldn't be so narrow-minded, and should not be as knowledgeable as a little girl.But he couldn't help thinking, these brothers and sisters really have the same virtues!She's so secretive, she doesn't dare to be aboveboard when giving something away!

Zhao Cong was very angry, put the gift list on the table, and calmly said: "Find all the gift lists from this Lin residence."

The concierge was stunned for a moment, and said, "Your Majesty, the gift list is with Miss Yan Mo."

"Open the warehouse and look for it, and find out all the boxes with the emblem of the Lin Mansion on it."

The concierge is Zhao Shiqi's people. In their eyes, their lord is extremely serious, and they have been trained so long ago that they dare not easily disobey his words.The concierge hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, the little one doesn't have a key to the warehouse—"

Halfway through his words, Zhao Cong looked at him, and he couldn't help but shut up.

Fu Lu didn't wait for the master to speak, and immediately said: "There is no key, let someone smash it!"

"This..." The concierge was terrified, he would definitely be punished by their lord!Even if this person is His Majesty!

"Things that don't know how to work!" Fu Lu turned to look at Zhao Cong, "Your Majesty, let's smash this little one!"

"Yeah." Zhao Cong was very satisfied.

Fu Lu lifted his foot and walked out. The concierge hesitated for a moment, begged for forgiveness and ran away with Fu Lu. The rest of the people stayed where they were and did not dare to speak.

Zhao Cong looked at the unsightly fabrics, and simply said: "Find out all the ones with the same emblem."

"Yes." Several people buried their heads in searching among a pile of gift boxes, and finally found three, and they opened them to Zhao Cong.

Zhao Cong saw that they were all ready-made clothes, purses, fan covers and so on.

The sky is blue after the rain, Zhao Cong is so angry that his heart, liver and lungs are on fire.It's because he likes to see Xiaoshi wearing clothes of this color, that's why the embroiderers in the palace make them for him like this.The style of Xiao Shiyi's clothes is also determined by him, and it is also because he likes it. Even if Xiao Shi likes black clothes, he still obeys his orders to wear them.

It's good now, someone who came out of nowhere dared to do this for Xiao Shiyi!

Zhao Cong stared at the beautifully crafted clothes, speechless.

The people standing below did not dare to make a sound, but they could clearly feel that His Majesty was in a bad mood.Zhao Cong was indeed too angry to hide it.Until one person trembled and said: "Your Majesty, the tea is cold, and I will add some tea for you."

"Brew me some herbal tea with mint leaves."

"Yes!" He didn't dare to ask more, he turned around and walked out.Walking into the courtyard, when he was about to turn left to get water, Yan Mo brought someone in and stopped him: "Why are you here?"

He looked back, and immediately said: "Sister Yan Mo, you are back!!"

Yin Mo wondered: "What's the matter?"

"Oh, Your Majesty is here!!"

"His Majesty?!"

"Yes! Your Majesty is here! As soon as you arrive, you will check the gift list in our house, and even ask someone to smash the key to the warehouse—"

"Ah?! Why?" Yin Mo thought that their husband had committed a crime.

"Your Majesty said that he wanted to find out all the gift boxes from the Lin Mansion, and the gift boxes received in the wing room in the past few days are also piled up in the hall. Sister, go in quickly! I'm going to find mint leaves to make tea for Your Majesty."

These words made Yin Mo a little dizzy, she didn't ask any more questions, and stepped up to the main hall.

As soon as she entered, she bumped into Zhao Cong's gaze just looking up.

She also saw His Majesty often, and usually felt that His Majesty was a very good-natured person, gentle and peaceful, and when he spoke, there were smiles at the corners of his eyes and mouth.At this moment, the corners of His Majesty's eyes and mouth were cold, she paused, and went forward to salute: "My servant has seen Your Majesty."

Before Zhao Cong yelled, Fu Lu came in with someone: "Your Majesty, I found them all!" He moved away, and many people came in behind with many gift boxes, and they all put them on the ground.Fu Lu stepped forward and handed the rest of the gift list to Zhao Cong.

Zhao Cong said to Yan Mo, "Get up", while he himself looked down at the gift list.

Delivered at least four times a month, especially this month, almost every day has something delivered!The more Zhao Cong flipped, the more annoyed he became. In the end, it was really difficult for him to control his emotions, so he slapped all the gift slips on the table.Due to excessive strength, several gift slips flew to the ground.

When Fu Lu saw that His Majesty was angry, he immediately knelt down.When the rest of the people saw this, they were so frightened that they knelt down, and Yan Mo also knelt down.

Zhao Cong looked at the ground silently for a while, then said, "Fu Lu and Yin Mo stay here, and the rest go out first."

"Yes..." The others stood up, bent over and stepped back, about to leave.

"Slow down." Zhao Cong called again.

They stopped.

"Go prepare the fire primer and build a stone tube in the courtyard."

"...Yes." They didn't dare to ask more questions, they stepped back and started to prepare.

The hall was very quiet. After a while, Zhao Cong said, "You are the personal envoy of Mrs. Shan, and Xiao Shiyi was also raised by you."

Yin Mo nodded: "Yes." But he didn't know the meaning of His Majesty's words.

"I used to think you were very measured, but look at it!" Speaking of this, Zhao Cong became angry, and he picked up the gift slips on the table, "Look at these gift slips!" He handed it to Yan Mo , It was a little late to receive the ink, and the gift list fell to the ground, flying all over the ground.

Yin Mo was confused, so he couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, they are all worthless things. Your Majesty did not take bribes in private."

"It's worthless, but what are the gifts from this shop? At first, it was clothing materials, but now it's a big deal, clothes and purses are all given away!"

"His Majesty--"

"Just bring it here, how dare you let him wear it? Let him wear it?"

Yin Mo didn't know why His Majesty was angry about this matter.

The more Zhao Cong spoke, the angrier he became, the angrier he became, his voice became calmer: "I don't have any clothes for him to wear? Do you want to wear clothes made by these messy people?"

Yan Mo still didn't know the meaning of His Majesty's words, but he couldn't help but whispered: "Your Majesty, the servant girl feels... that these clothes are exquisitely made—"

"No matter how delicate it is, can it compare to the embroidered lady in Shangyi Bureau?"

"This this--"

"You look up at me."

Yan Mo was apprehensive, but obediently raised his head to look at him, Zhao Cong's eyes were very sharp, Yan Mo dodged a little, but he didn't dare to disobey His Majesty's wishes, and reluctantly met his gaze.

Zhao Cong faced her and said word by word: "Your lord, Zhao Shiqi, and Xiao Shiyi belong to me."

"..." Yi Mo showed a puzzled face.

"What he wears, what he eats, what he does, all have to be decided by me."

"..." Yan Mo was still puzzled, but he couldn't help saying, "Your Majesty, the maidservant didn't do it on purpose. It's just that the little lady who doesn't know her name has a sincere heart for the gentleman, and the maidservant—"

Zhao Cong interrupted her: "His life-long affairs can only be decided by me."

"His Majesty……"

"For the sake of his mother and him, I will forgive you this time." After Zhao Cong finished speaking, he stood up, "Fulu."

"His Majesty."

"Take out all the things with the emblem of the Lin Mansion and burn them."

"Yes!"

Zhao Cong raised his foot and was about to walk out.

"Your Majesty..." Yan Mo spoke cautiously.

Zhao Cong didn't turn around, but said: "In the future, you are not allowed to take things from this house again." He walked out to the center of the courtyard, and saw someone carry a few large stone slabs and pile them into a big container.Fu Lu poured all the clothes into it with his own hands, looked at Zhao Cong again, Zhao Cong nodded, Fu Lu personally lit the fire with a fire primer, and the fire quickly burst into flames.

After a while, the cloth and clothes were completely burned, leaving only ashes.

Zhao Cong finally felt at ease.

Now that he was comfortable, Zhao Cong was ready to return to the palace.He looked back at Yan Mo again, and said in a deep voice, "Don't tell your lord about this."

It's kind of embarrassing anyway.

Xiao Shiyi has always been jealous of this.

Yin Mo was still ignorant, she nodded in a daze.

Zhao Cong warned: "I'll say it again, don't accept things from the Lin family!"

"Yes……"

After Zhao Cong finished warning, he took Fu Lu back to the palace.

Yin Mo looked at the ashes, still puzzled.She also finally remembered to investigate who the Lin family was. She thought it would not be difficult to investigate, and she knew the truth the next day.

When she found out that the little lady was actually Yi Yu's younger sister, she was shocked and regretted what she had done!

It's just that these things only surprised her, what really disturbed her was His Majesty's words.

What does His Majesty mean by those words?

It is His Majesty who knows what their lord is thinking, what is he secretly warning?Why didn't she tell Lang Jun about such a thing?Could it be that Mr. Lang did something wrong in the palace?

It's a pity that their lords have been in the palace recently and can't come back.

Seeing those clothes burned with his own eyes, Zhao Cong felt comfortable.

But it wasn't over yet, when he returned to the palace, he hurried back to Funing Palace, and asked Rantao to find out the clothes that Zhao Shiqi was wearing before, regardless of whether they were all made by the woman from the Yi family, and said directly: " It's about to burn!" In front of Rantao, he relaxed a lot, and his tone was very close to his true state of mind.

"Huh? What's the matter? This material is suitable for tailoring clothes in summer. The servant girl thought it was good and prepared some specially. Now they are all in the warehouse. The embroiderer took them to make clothes, and they will be ready in a few days." It can be made."

Zhao Cong was dissatisfied: "It's all burned."

"Your Majesty, Mr. Lang sent someone to bring it back from the south."

"He called Renyun?"

"Yes, it was brought back by the boat from Mr. Lang's house."

Zhao Cong struggled for a while, and said, "Keep his ones, and burn the rest!"

Rantao said cautiously, "Your Majesty, what's going on?"

Zhao Cong thought for a while, and told Rantao about the matter, and finally concluded dissatisfiedly: "I haven't seen him go out of the palace very often, but there are still those flowers and butterflies rushing on him indiscriminately! Today's young lady behaves like this ? The brothers and sisters of the Yi family are really good!"

After hearing this, Rantao laughed instead: "Your Majesty, you are really too impatient."

"Ok?"

"Your Majesty must not know anything. Why does he care about the clothes on his upper body? He doesn't care, so why bother His Majesty?"

Zhao Cong understood this truth, but was still angry.

He said in a muffled voice, "Anyway, he can't let him know about this, it's too embarrassing."

"Don't worry, the servant girl won't say anything. If you are worried about Yan Mo, the servant girl will go out of the palace tomorrow and explain it to the mansion again. Miss Yan Mo must be kind, and it's all for her master's sake." Well, who would have thought of this."

"It's up to you, just don't ask him to know." Zhao Cong was in the palace, the more he thought about the actions just now, the more he felt a little hot, and he actually went out of the palace to burn clothes on impulse!

Rantao smiled and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty."

After Zhao Cong drank a cup of tea, he went to Chongzheng Hall to continue his political affairs.

As soon as he arrived at the Chongzheng Hall, he saw Zhao Shiqi sitting inside, and he could smell the fragrance of flowers at the tip of his nose.

His Majesty, who had just returned from doing a "bad thing", felt a little uncomfortable when he saw him, coughed, and walked in.

Zhao Shiqi, who was drawing and writing on the paper with his head down, raised his head when he heard the sound, and a bright smile quickly appeared on his face: "Your Majesty is back?"

"Yeah." Zhao Cong pretended to be serious, but actually saw Zhao Shiqi in a green official uniform, and was very happy, "When did you come?"

"Not long after I came, I heard that His Majesty went out for a walk, so I waited for a while and drew a picture." Zhao Shiqi showed him the paper in a fawning manner.

Zhao Cong received it in his hand, and seeing himself in the painting, his heart was immediately filled with joy, and he immediately became happy, and his brows and eyes instantly returned to softness.He thought that his family's Xiaoshi could paint him so beautifully just by drawing him from his imagination, no matter how many butterflies outside wanted to pounce on Xiaoshi, he didn't have to be angry about it!

"Your Majesty?" Seeing him in a daze, Zhao Shiqi called out.

Zhao Cong came back to his senses, put down the paper, and said with a smile, "It's pretty."

Zhao Shiqi smiled: "The painting is Your Majesty, is Your Majesty praising himself?"

Zhao Cong usually disdained to say these words, but now he couldn't help saying: "Isn't I good-looking?" No matter how beautiful a butterfly is, it is not as good-looking as him, but he is still very confident in his appearance.

Zhao Shiqi laughed even harder, stretched out his hand and pulled Zhao Cong into his arms, hugged him from behind, and whispered in his ear: "Your Majesty is the most beautiful."

Zhao Cong turned his back to him, trying to hold back, but he couldn't help but smile with the corners of his mouth raised high.
