Funing Hall

Before Lu Yuan finished speaking, he was kicked out by Zhao Cong.

He looked puzzled, Fu Lu happened to come back from outside, looked at his stupid look, and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Master, I was kicked out by His Majesty."

Fu Lu immediately said angrily: "Did you say the wrong thing or do the wrong thing?!"

"I didn't do anything, I'm going out with Xiao Langjun today, come back first-"

"Why did you come back first?"

"Xiao Langjun bought a fan pendant for His Majesty, oh, it is really a rare thing, it is made of colored glaze, and it can be engraved inside..."

Fu Lu stretched out his hand to hit him: "Tell the truth!"

Lu Yuan dodged him, and said anxiously: "I'm not talking right now, the pendant is rare because it can engrave characters in it! There is only one person in the city who can engrave characters like that, and they live far away, Xiao Lang. You are afraid that you will come back late, and His Majesty is worried, so you ordered the younger one to come back first!"

"Since this is the case, it is a good thing, why is His Majesty displeased?"

"I don't know, my little one, Master."

"When you told His Majesty about this, how did His Majesty look?"

"Master, the little one was kicked out by His Majesty before he could say anything!"

Fulu kicked him.

"..." Lu Yuan touched his butt and bounced to the side.

Fu Lu glared at him, wanting to go in and report.Lu Yuan is good at everything, but he is too playful, so he can't be the leader.In this way, Fulu really misses auspiciousness, auspiciousness is the most useful, although auspiciousness is loyal, but too naive, only auspiciousness is just right.

But they are still locked up now, His Majesty didn't say to let them go, and they didn't dare to mention it.

Fu Lu was about to go in to report, when he saw the little palace maid coming out, and said with a soft laugh: "Mr. Fu, Your Majesty is lying down to rest. Your Majesty got up too early today."

"..."

Fulu had to wait by the door.

When Zhao Cong woke up after a rest, Zhao Shiqi hadn't come back yet, and Mrs. Qian had something to report back and forth, so it was not easy for Fulu to go in and disturb her.Qian Yuemo had dinner with His Majesty, it was even harder for Fu Lu to elaborate, he was so worried that he was standing on the porch.He didn't know much about the desire to control, he only knew that their Majesty would not be in a good mood when he couldn't see Xiao Langjun.

The moon is hanging high, and Mr. Xiao Lang has not come back yet!

He stretched out his hand and called Lu Yuan: "Where did Mr. Xiao Lang go!"

"That place on Zhangjiajie, Master!"

Fu Lu frowned. Although Zhang's Street is a little far away, it's not that he hasn't returned yet.

He patted Lu Yuan on the head again: "Go to Donghua Gate and guard it!"

"Yes yes yes..." Lu Yuan turned around and ran away.

As soon as he ran away, Rantao came out and said, "Lady Qian is probably going to rest here today, I see she has something to say to His Majesty, where is Piaoshu?"

"Talking with Chaxi together."

Rantao nodded and went to look for Piaoshu.

Zhao Cong leaned on the couch with a blanket on his knees, Qian Yuemo sat aside, and said softly: "Aunt Wang is still honest these days, and I have never seen her have any contact with anyone. Several eunuchs were beaten to death by the order of my concubine, this..."

"You did very well."

"Yes, after this incident, the concubine is still offering sacrifices to the Baoci Hall, and there are many things that are due to them."

Zhao Cong nodded, this is very good, on the bright side, he must do well.

In the past few years, he and Qian Yuemo cooperated tacitly, and he also revealed to Qian Yuemo that there was something wrong with Aunt Wang, and Qian Yuemo really helped him keep an eye on Aunt Wang.It's a pity that Aunt Wang is very cunning, or the people behind Aunt Wang are extremely cunning, too calm.

Qian Yue knows the truth of the book silently, and her head is also clear.Sometimes when he encounters some doubts, he is willing to discuss with Qian Yue silently.

Zhao Cong took a sip of tea and said, "This year is a rare good year. When the dragon raises its head, I want to plow the fields myself."

"Your Majesty is right. There has been little rain in the past few years, which has frustrated the people."

It's been a long time since the Son of Heaven has personally farmed, but the drought was severe a few years ago, he was busy with the locust plague, and he didn't believe there was such a kitchen god, so he simply avoided these trivial matters.But the common people still care about this form after all. This year is a good year, so he will continue.

But, there have to be some changes.

He put his hands loosely on the blanket, and said: "In the past, when the late emperor was here, it was nothing more than leading all the officials to perform some ceremonies at Xiannongtai. This year, I want to find a field outside the Kaifeng mansion. , cultivate the land himself."

Qian Yue looked at him silently.

"At that time, you and the other concubines will accompany me."

"Yes, I will arrange it myself."

"You have to go to the field to plow by yourself. You should be prepared and wear some light clothes." After he finished speaking, he looked up at Qian Yuemo, "I'm afraid it will take a lot of hard work for you."

Qian Yue smiled silently: "How can it be so hard? My concubine lived in a village outside the city when I was young, and I also went to the fields with my mother to see it."

Zhao Cong showed a little smile: "I will order Taichang Temple to arrange this matter tomorrow." After he finished speaking, he frowned again, "You must explain to the ladies. I don't worry about you, but they... ..."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely tell them well."

Zhao Cong nodded and opened his mouth to let her rest here.This has been the case for the past few years, and she is always kept to stay several times a month.It's not that he didn't want to canonize Qian Yuemo as queen, but at the beginning he thought that Xiao Shiyi was dead, and he didn't want to have a wedding at all. He was especially exaggerated in those few years, and even ordered Wei Junwang's mansion to hang up Xiao Shiba for a year.

This is not only a discord with etiquette, but a complete lack of etiquette. Many ministers begged him to think deeply.

He was still determined to go his own way, and he hated Weijun Wangfu very much at that time.

It's ridiculous to think about it now.

In the past few years, because he couldn't make Qian Yuemo the queen, he always felt that he owed her. After all, Qian Yuemo had helped him a lot, and he had even personally said that he would make her the queen.Although Qian Yuemo didn't care, he felt a little sorry.He had to give her good things often, and even took good care of her natal family. Qian Yuemo's father and brother both had good jobs.

He was willing to believe that the Qian family was loyal.

At this time, he couldn't help thinking, why not take advantage of the good year and just make Qian Yuemo his successor?It also makes the people of the world lively and lively together.

But there was some inexplicable reluctance in his heart, but he didn't know where this reluctance came from.

It's just that after he finished talking with Qian Yuemo, he thought of Zhao Shiyi again. He looked out the window, and it was so dark, but he hadn't returned yet.

His face couldn't help but darken again.

Qian Yuemo kept watching him carefully, feeling surprised in her heart.

At this moment, Fu Lu smiled and said outside the window: "Your Majesty, Mr. Xiao Lang is back!"

Zhao Cong's eyes lit up immediately, and he raised his upper body from the pillow and asked, "Where are you?"

"Lu Yuan sent people back and forth, and they have already arrived at Donghuamen, and I am afraid that they will arrive at Funing Palace in a while!"

"I came back so late, and I don't know if I have eaten. Where is Rantao? Tell her to arrange some food. After he arrives, he will—" Zhao Cong leaned back again in the middle of speaking.He didn't see anyone for a day, why should he be like this when he came back?Maybe someone had a good time eating outside, with the little lady who received his gift.

The light in Zhao Cong's eyes disappeared again.

Qian Yuemo blinked her eyes, looked away, looked down at her hands, got up and saluted, "Your Majesty, my concubine will go back first."

Zhao Cong nodded and whispered, "Go."

Qian Yue turned around with a silent smile and walked out of Funing Hall.

She was not walking fast on the palace road, and after a while, she saw Zhao Shiqi walking towards him from afar.

Zhao Shiqi is taller now, with long legs and big strides. Lu Yuan trotted behind him, barely keeping up with him.

She stopped, and when Zhao Shiqi walked in front of her, she bent her eyes and said with a smile: "Young Lord, why did you come back so soon?"

Zhao Shiqi knew at a glance that she came out of Funing Palace.He was a little unhappy, as long as he was close to Zhao Cong, he didn't like it.He knew that Qian Yuemo was Zhao Cong's favorite concubine, looking at the delicate face with a gentle smile in front of him, he couldn't help thinking that because he lived in the side hall, Zhao Cong would not call Qian Yuemo to sleep with him.

Then when he goes out of the palace, wouldn't Zhao Cong often call her to serve him?

Thinking of this, Zhao Shiqi looked at Qian Yuemo with unfriendly eyes again.

Qian Yuemo has long been used to it, and she is not the same as she was five years ago, so she will be confused by this.She moved away and said softly: "Young Lord, come back quickly, Your Majesty is thinking about you."

Hearing what she said, Zhao Shiqi's face softened, and then he strode away without any hesitation.

Qian Yuemo turned to look at his back, thoughtful.

Sitting on the couch, Zhao Cong was actually very anxious, but he didn't show it at all.

He finally asked Rantao to prepare food, and she and Chaxi were putting one by one on the small table beside the couch.Although it was January and it was still cold, the inner room was extremely warm.But the warmth at this time is different, after all, Zhao Cong who is sitting among them is also warm.

On the table in front of him, the food was also steaming hot.

Rantao and Cha like to arrange things and smile at each other.

In addition to the fragrance of plum blossoms in the inner room, there is also the aroma of fireworks from food.

There was no communication, Zhao Shiqi walked in directly, Zhao Cong almost sat up straight again, but fortunately he restrained himself at the critical moment.With a calm face, he looked at Zhao Shiqi who walked in with a smile.

Zhao Shiqi walked in a hurry, walked around the window, and walked up to him, panting slightly.He didn't speak for a while, just looked at him.

Rantao took La Chaxi's hand, and the two walked out quietly, only the two of them were left in the inner room.

Zhao Shiqi knew that he came back late, so Zhao Cong was not happy again.But I don't blame Zhao Cong either. During the years when he "died", Zhao Cong was terrified.Before he ordered Yan Mo to inquire about the Prince Wei's mansion, when he left the palace today, Yan Mo talked to him for a long time.

Only then did he know that Zhao Cong had ordered Wei Junwang's mansion to hang him up for a year.

He didn't feel happy at the time, he just felt sad.

Because he thought of his previous life, when Zhao Cong died in his previous life, the Duke Wei's mansion had only been left blank for a few days?

In this life, he faked his death, but Zhao Cong treated him like this.

Thinking of this, his eyes couldn't help being filled with a strange emotion called softness.

I'm afraid he doesn't know it himself, he also has such moments, and there will be such emotions in his eyes.

So now that Zhao Cong is so worried about him, it doesn't matter if he coaxes Zhao Cong. In the past, Zhao Cong coaxed him.Adding up his two lifetimes, he was already older than Zhao Cong.Although Zhao Cong has already ruled in person, even though he is the emperor, he is only 21 years old.

Thinking of this, he stepped forward and sat beside Zhao Cong, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, I'm back."

Hearing his words, Zhao Cong couldn't hold back anymore, frowned, and asked, "Why did you come back so late?"

"I went to Zhangjia Street to find a craftsman, but he went back to live in his hometown in the countryside. I ran out of the city again, and managed to come back before closing the city gate."

"What are you looking for craftsmen for?" Zhao Cong was curious.

"I bought a rare item today, and only this old man in the city can engrave letters on it."

Zhao Cong was curious at first, but when he heard this, he became unhappy. It turned out that he wanted to perfect the gift so that he could give it away!

Zhao Shiqi, who had been observing him all the time, could clearly see the change of expression on his face, Zhao Shiqi didn't understand why he was suddenly upset.He sat much taller than Zhao Cong, Zhao Cong lowered his head and didn't look at his words, so he couldn't see Zhao Cong's face.He took advantage of the situation and knelt down to the side of the couch, looked up at Zhao Cong: "Your Majesty?"

Zhao Cong ignored him.

He stretched out his hand to pull the blanket on Zhao Cong's lap: "Your Majesty..."

Zhao Cong glanced at him, saw that his eyes were a little pitiful, but he couldn't bear it, so he reluctantly said, "No problem."

Zhao Shiqi took out a small pouch from the front and handed it to Zhao Cong: "Your Majesty."

"Ok?"

"Your Majesty, take a look." Zhao Shiqi put the purse on his lap.

"What is this?"

"Open it and see."

Zhao Cong thought for a while, put down the hand stove in his hand, pulled off the strap of the purse, and took out a drop-shaped thing from it.It's glass.He immediately thought of what Lu Yuan said, so it turned out that this was what Zhao Shiqi wanted to give away!

Ho!Give a gift to the little lady, and show him to check it?

He really thinks Zhao Cong is his father!

Even if it's a father, it doesn't make sense to help his son read these things, right? !

Zhao Cong irritatedly didn't take a closer look, and stuffed the things back into his purse.

Zhao Shiqi was taken aback for a moment, and said softly: "Does Your Majesty not like it?"

Zhao Cong picked up the stove and ignored him again.

Zhao Shiqi was also a little disappointed, he bought Zhao Zongning's first silver house last time, and now the shopkeeper would send it to Yimo whenever he had something good.That silver shop is indeed very capable, and can often find exquisite and rare things.He went out of the palace today to see the mansion, so he went to look around casually, hoping to find something to give to Zhao Zongning.

Unexpectedly, he immediately took a fancy to this colored glaze.

After You Qi heard that it could be engraved, he immediately bought it.This thing looks good, and it is the most suitable for making a fan pendant.Moreover, the colored glaze was burnt into a blue sky after rain, which is exactly the kind of hazy and ethereal that Zhao Cong likes.

But Zhao Cong didn't like it.

Zhao Shiqi also bowed his head and remained silent.

The room was extremely quiet, and Zhao Cong felt distressed again. He glanced at Zhao Shiqi, who bowed his head, and said, "Let me see what you gave the girl, and I can't make up your mind for you."

"Your Majesty, this is for you!" Zhao Shiqi raised his head immediately.

"..." Zhao Cong was stunned.

Zhao Shiqi took out the fan pendant from his purse and handed it to him: "There are words engraved inside."

Zhao Cong took it in his hand in a daze, and looked carefully, there were really words engraved inside.

The word "treasure" is engraved.

"This pendant is really small. The master said it is only big enough to engrave a character."

"... Oh." After a long while, Zhao Cong responded with one word.

Zhao Shiqi tilted his head on his arm, and continued to look up at him: "Does Your Majesty like it?"

Zhao Cong inexplicably felt that his face was burning. At this time, facing this face, as well as such expectant eyes and expressions, he couldn't bear it...

"You can ask Rantao to make a tie, using azure silk thread." Zhao Shiqi suggested.

Zhao Cong is not good at talking anymore, but fortunately his body is not good, his face is pale all the year round, even if his face is a little red now because of the burn, there is not much difference.

He squeezed the fan pendant into the palm of his hand, and it took him a long time to calm down. He raised his head and asked, "Have you eaten yet?"

"Not yet."

Zhao Cong quickly pointed to the small table: "Eat."

"Hi Your Majesty—" Zhao Shiqi continued to ask.

Zhao Cong interrupted: "Eat quickly, it will be cold if you don't eat."

"Does Your Majesty like it?" Zhao Shiqi was unwilling to give up.

Zhao Cong was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly.

Only then did Zhao Shiqi laugh and stood up on the low couch, and continued to sit next to Zhao Cong, with his back to him, and buried his head in eating the food on the low table.He has not eaten for four or five hours, he is indeed very hungry at this time, he only knows how to eat hard, but he also eats well.

Zhao Cong leaned on the leading pillow, looked at his back, his eyes were filled with complex, puzzled, and even a little bit confused.

Like Zhao Shiqi, even though he has lived two lifetimes, how has he ever truly been in love?

How did he know that liking and liking are actually different?Furthermore, he has always regarded Xiaoshi as his nephew, and never thought of going anywhere else.

He looked down at the water drop lying on the palm of his hand again, and the word "treasure" faintly appeared in it.

Although he was puzzled, he was indeed extremely happy at the moment.

He took another look at the back of Zhao Shiqi who was eating seriously, and finally showed a smile.
