There is a dragon

16

Among the princes and daughters, Dekang is the youngest, but not the most favored.Dekang's mother and concubine status is not high, these years has been conscientiously following behind the Empress Dowager He, keeping herself safe, and lived safely in this man-eating harem.

When the first emperor was seriously ill, Dekang's mother and concubine were in a hurry to find a family for her, but they couldn't make it in time. When the first emperor passed away, Ye Jingshu, the new emperor, took the throne and handed over all the women in the harem to the Empress Dowager He. Let her arrange.When the first emperor was there, Empress Dowager He didn't take them seriously, and naturally she wouldn't deliberately treat them harshly when she left, but if she wanted to say she cared, she didn't.It's just that I always remember that there is such a person, and I call over to hang out when I have something to do.

In a blink of an eye, Dekang is almost the same age, and if he waits any longer, he will become an old girl. No wonder the people around her are anxious.Ye Jingshu didn't expect that he had a younger sister who was going to get married, and no one reminded him, so the decision rested with Empress Dowager He.

If Empress Dowager He was offended, Dekang's marriage, although not bad, would not be good anyway.She has nothing to rely on. If her husband's family is stronger, she might be overwhelmed. How could they be happy with these princesses?

As a sister, even if Fukang and Dekang were not very close before, it is not good to watch her jump into the fire pit.Besides, there is only one sister left for her, and if she divides again, she will really lose a close person.

Gently stroking the feathers of the drinking bird, Dekang reluctantly returned the drinking bird to Ye Yunyan, watching her bounce away with a dazed expression.

Dekang hesitated to speak, but when he came into contact with Fukang's serious face, his voice dropped by three minutes: "Sister, I...I don't really want to marry..."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Fukang scolded lightly, "Your Majesty doesn't care about your marriage, so you should be more filial in front of your mother. When the time comes, leave here as soon as possible. Do you want to stay in this palace?" Can't you stay forever?"

Of course not.

Dekang shook his head, but getting married was not what she wanted.

As a princess, she must not marry a countryman. It is impossible to live a simple life.

"Nowadays, there are quite a few young talents of the right age in the imperial court. Dekang, you should pay more attention and plan for yourself earlier..." Fukang paused, "And your Majesty, don't touch his bad luck. Keep your eyes open. Don't mess with him."

Speaking of Ye Jingshu, the smell of blood from a year ago seemed to be still there, and Fukang gathered his clothes uncomfortably: "Your Majesty intends to promote the status of the poor family, so be careful, don't be promised a poor and poor child by your majesty."

"Horror?"

"You can't bear this hardship." Fukang persuaded, "The children of the aristocratic family are the first choice."

De Kang reluctantly responded, and silently listened to Fukang's teaching of experience. Fukang was always for her own good, not trying to harm her.Brother Huang doesn't care about her marriage, she can only rely on her aunt, Empress Dowager He.

Knowing that the drinking bird was safe and sound, Ling Ze raised his eyes to look at the two princesses, then turned his gaze back, and suddenly met Ye Jingshu.

Being caught straight, Ling was a little stiff, but seeing Ye Jingshu raise his eyebrows with great interest, his eyelids twitched involuntarily.

A rough person like Ye Jingshu probably didn't know the secrets of the water-drinking bird to let Ye Yunyan play like that. Thinking of this, Ling Ze calmly withdrew his gaze and turned to Ye Yunyan.

Ye Yunyan won't let go of a new toy until she gets tired of playing with it.After running around to show off her new toy, she ran to her concubine Zhou Xue, chirping and showing it to her.

Zhou Xue lowered her head, with a smile on her face, tidied up her stray hair, and echoed in a warm voice.

With such a lively and lively child, the birthday party was quite lively, and Empress Dowager He kept talking and laughing at Yan Yan, letting go of her dissatisfaction and prejudice, and blending into the party.

Ye Jingshu took a glance, distracted to look at Ling Ze, saw that he had looked away, thoughtful.

There are many connections between the national teachers and aristocratic families. Many of the national teachers in the Great Wei Dynasty came from aristocratic families. These days, I have never heard that Ling Ze has any family members visiting the palace. Could it be that he has a bad relationship with the family?

There were several pimples in his heart, Ye Jingshu took care of his mind, and he didn't even react when Empress Dowager He called him.

"Your Majesty?" Empress Dowager He raised her voice, and Ye Jingshu's delay in answering made her a little ashamed.

"The Queen Mother wants to find an errand for the King of Chu?" Ye Jingshu asked.

The other people in the hall did not dare to vent their anger, for fear of being implicated and burned by the emperor's anger.

The left and right conversations were open, and they all made it clear. The Empress Dowager He gritted her teeth and faced Ye Jingshu: "Seeing that the King of Chu is not too young, they all say to start a family and start a business. If you have a family, you should have a career. Your Majesty is the brother of the King of Chu." , this blood is thicker than water, no matter what, it can't be cut, your majesty is the king of a country, and it's just a matter of one sentence to find a job for your brother to live in Hukou..."

Ye Ruiwen lighted his crutches, took a few steps back quietly, and sent Ye Xizhou a caring look,

Ye Jingshu has never objected, and Empress Dowager He became bolder: "Besides, the clan is not prosperous at all, and all the burdens of the country and society have fallen on His Majesty. King Chu is His Majesty's elder brother, and he can't write two leaves in one stroke. A few days ago Your Majesty is sick, and he is also the leader of the King of Chu, so it can be seen that he is still capable..."

Zhou Xue grabbed Ye Yunyan's sleeve tightly to keep her from making a sound, and her eyes signaled the nanny to take the children away.

Empress Dowager He didn't realize it, and continued to say: "The King of Chu was familiar with the affairs of the court before, and His Majesty came from West Qin, so I'm afraid he didn't know..."

"Mother!" Ye Xizhou couldn't sit still any longer, his face turned pale, he stood up and bowed to Ye Jingshu: "Your Majesty, I have no property, I'm afraid I have failed His Majesty's trust, please take it back."

Ye Jingshu raised his eyelids, scanned the hall casually, and said calmly: "I haven't ordered it yet, how can I take it back?"

Ye Xizhou was taken aback for a moment, and stood there, dripping with cold sweat.It was because he was too anxious, unexpectedly Ye Jingshu had the patience to listen to the Empress Dowager He's words, and also caught the loopholes in his words, and did not directly attack.

Ye Jingshu didn't like others to interfere with his authority, even if he was not familiar with the government and the affairs were difficult, he would rather work harder by himself.

With so many people today, if he gets angry and smashes the field here, it will be reported in Beijing that he is not filial, openly quarreling with Empress Dowager He, and embarrassing her at the Qianqiu Banquet.

Anyway, he also lived in the capital for a year, so he understands more or less.

Ye Xizhou neither entered nor retreated, stuck in the hall, secretly worried.

Ye Jingshu's eyes were burning, he stared straight at him, and walked around: "Brother Huang, is it true that he has no interest in the government?"

He moved all the way, and the jubilant banquet became a bit colder, the surroundings were silent, and everyone looked at the people in the middle without blinking.

The power was delegated to Ye Xizhou before, but in the end it was completely returned to Zhao. Is it just for the sake of speaking out in a grandiose way?

Did Ye Xizhou naively think that Ye Jingshu wouldn't turn his face in front of so many people?

Ling Ze originally planned to leave quietly, but when he heard Ye Jingshu's question, he stopped and looked back.

Ye Jingshu was wearing a black robe, and as he walked, the patterns embroidered with gold threads on the corners of his clothes flickered.The forehead is high and the eyes are deep, and the facial lines are sharp and condensed, like a sharp sword out of its sheath, making people afraid to look directly at it.

His lower head Xizhou bowed down, even though they were far away, Ling Ze could still feel his tension.

Also, facing such a person, who wouldn't be afraid?He himself is the sharpest sword, one sword breaks all spells, and he goes forward without hesitation.

"Long-cherished and sleepy, night clothes and food, Your Majesty has worked hard day and night for the people of the Great Wei Dynasty. The King of Chu is willing to help His Majesty consolidate the foundation of the country for thousands of years. It is also out of loyalty and wants to share His Majesty's worries and problems." Ling Ze stepped forward slowly, Walking in front of Ye Jingshu, he said slowly, "It is my great Wei's blessing to have this brother and subject, Your Majesty."

As he spoke, he bowed first and shouted: "Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

Under the leadership of the national teacher, other people in the hall also congratulated Ye Jingshu.

Ye Jingshu squinted his eyes, and focused on Lingze the gaze that was oppressing Ye Xizhou.Unexpectedly, when bribery is useless, Lou Xinming will really laugh at him this time.

Whether Ye Xizhou is willing or not, he will not let him get more involved in government affairs.If you do it now...

No, wait any longer.The Empress Dowager Qianqiu has many guests, and the aristocratic family is all out, so he can't tear himself apart so quickly.

Ye Jingshu changed his mind, and suddenly changed his words: "In this case, the king of Chu will follow him to the Yizheng Palace in the future."

This matter was raised so high and gently put down. What's even more inconceivable is that Ye Jingshu actually agreed to let Ye Xizhou participate in politics.

After the banquet, Ye Xizhou still couldn't recover, and stayed aside in a daze.

Before Ye Jingshu ascended the throne, he directly led troops to surround his palace. He didn't even let him participate in the enthronement ceremony. It was obvious that he was told to be more acquainted and not to do impossible things - if Ye Jingshu hadn't been sick and bedridden, he would have been in court even after that. None have been on it once.

Glancing at the Empress Dowager He who was pretending to be innocent, and looking at Ye Xizhou whose clothes were dripping with water, Ling Ze said coldly: "The prince and the queen mother are also invited to discuss with the ministers before making a move next time."

"National Teacher!" Ye Xizhou quickly stepped up to Lingze.

"What's the matter, my lord?"

Ye Xizhou said apologetically: "Today, the empress suddenly brought up the matter of participating in politics. If there is no national teacher to rescue the siege, I'm afraid—"

"The prince didn't know beforehand?" Ling Ze interrupted him.

"...I don't know," Ye Xizhou smiled wryly, "otherwise I wouldn't rush out and refuse."

Ling said "Oh" with a cold expression: "Since His Majesty has spoken, the prince will go to the Palace of Political Affairs and wait in the future."

He suddenly felt a little discouraged, and he didn't want to spend more time with Ye Xizhou, who was like a gentleman—he had clearly admired this kind of Ye Xizhou before, and thought that a monarch should be like him.
