Emperor Tongue [Rebirth]

A quarter past noon, the weather turned hot, and even the birds couldn't bear to be restless. They flew up the willow branches, chirping and chirping with the warm wind blowing the leaves.The surface of the water was stirred up by the wind to ripple gradually, sending the narrow and thin leaves that fell into the water by mistake to the deeper center of the lake.It's just that the koi carp that had been quiet for a winter in the lake were brought up to the surface of the water by the warm wind, spit out bubbles, disrupted the water patterns, and stirred up circles of water splashes, disturbing the cleanliness.

It's just that such a beautiful scene is not so pleasing to the eyes of the First Prince.Not to mention the rumors in the palace, that before An Jieyu conceived, the Qin Tianjian had penetrated the celestial phenomena and cut off the fate of an emperor star. In this way, the prince she gave birth to would be the king of the prosperous age.

He had just come out of Jinglin Palace, and after discussing with his mother and concubine, he was even more depressed. Qi Gu walked by the pool with his attendants, and was utterly disturbed by the birds on the tree. Some poisonous baits killed more than half of the noisy birds, and they were still clean.

"Hey!" A person came from around the corner, recklessly bumped into the servant who was carrying the lamp for the eldest prince, and the picture scroll in his arms fell all over the floor, "Hey, I'm rude, I'm rude, Ye Mo walked too hastily, father-in-law, don't blame me. Eunuch, don’t blame me!”

Hearing the movement, Qi Gu raised his eyes and saw a person dressed in white, who turned out to be the immortal Yeqian painted by legends in the palace, so he couldn't help but take a second look.Just by looking at it, you can see something amazing.

The eldest prince has seen countless treasures since he was a child, so he naturally knew the Leng Jinjian that fell out of Ye Qian's arms, and his expression turned ugly: "Who am I supposed to be reckless, it turned out to be Ye painter."

Ye Qian was picking up the scrolls and stuffing them into his sleeves. When he heard the eldest prince approaching him, he hurriedly cupped his hands and bowed: "My minister, Ye, has seen His Highness, but Ye has lost his eyesight, and ran into him when he was in a hurry. The First Prince's battle. Please don't blame your Highness."

Qi Gu smiled sneeringly, the expression in his eyes seemed to be frozen to the bottom, he was willing to bend down himself, and helped Ye Qian pick up a scroll: "It's no wonder that the painter Ye has no eyes, it's just that your steps are too flustered, so you bumped into him. I don’t know where Ye painter is in a hurry to get a job?”

"Back to Your Majesty, Ye has just come from the Hanlin Academy of Painting. He followed the order of the empress and rushed to Fengluan Palace to make a portrait for An Jieyu." Seeing the prince bending over, Ye Qian dared not straighten her waist Get up, but there is still a fairy air of neither humble nor overbearing in his speech and demeanor.

"Make a portrait of An Jieyu?" Qi Gu smiled again, but there was a knife hidden in the smile, which made people feel chills all over their bodies, as if there was a poisonous snake with green leaves entangled in front of them, spitting out a letter, ready to bite at any time.The eldest prince reached out and twisted the paper of the scroll, and asked: "An Jieyu is about to have a good time, so it stands to reason that it is not impossible to make a portrait at this time. Women, most of them like to have a permanent appearance, and everyone wants to be beautiful." Leave the good colors of the day in the painting, and don't leave it for a long time. It's just that you, painter Ye, are so courageous. How dare you knowingly commit such a lie and make up such lies to fool me? Don't believe it...don't believe that I called you tonight Did you die in the mansion?"

"I dare not!" After hearing this, Ye Qian immediately stood up like a straight pine tree, and became flustered. He took a step forward and knelt down and said, "I don't know what mistake I have made, so please speak up, Your Majesty! But what you said is absolutely true. , if His Highness does not believe it, you can send someone to Fengluan Palace to ask!"

"I didn't say I really wanted to kill you. Get up and talk." Qi Gu has never blatantly threatened his courtiers in the palace, and if it wasn't for the recent poisonous fire, he wouldn't have said it out loud, with bruised veins on his forehead and clenched fists, "You It can be seen that cold gold paper is extremely rare, because the thin paper is inlaid with a layer of gold and silver powder, the paper is pure white and delicate, and it can be smooth but not slippery, transparent and full of light, and the image on the painting can achieve It is a rare treasure that will not rot for a hundred years and will not be damaged. It's just that Leng Jinjian can only be used as a portrait of a king, and it's really not her turn to be a mere Jieyu. Tell me about it, this Leng Jinjian, How did you get it out of the painting academy, and where are you going to use it?"

It is not without precedent for the eldest prince to ask this question. The palace counts the storehouses every year, and Hanlin has the most mistakes.Because the pens and inks of the nobles in the palace are worth more than pearls and jade, the handwriting that flows out is worth ten thousand gold.Privately circulating pens and inks in the palace is a serious crime of beheading, but even so, there are still slaves who are not afraid of death to send ink treasures out to extract oil and water from them.

"This... I am sure that I am not wrong, Your Highness, please check it out!" Ye Qian did not dare to raise her head, but her words were sonorous and forceful.Qi Guting was confused by this, he dared to take Leng Jinjian and said that there was nothing wrong with it, and it would be a disaster if he touched it, so he sneered and shouted: "Okay, that Ye painter is talking about it, this Where is the Leng Jinjian used?"

Yeqian was taken aback for a while, and contrary to the normal state of being straightforward, said in a low voice, "This... this cold golden note... this cold golden note..."

"That's what you said, why are you stuttering!"

"Return to Your Majesty, minister... I dare not speak out because of my humble position!" Seeing Ye Qian lowering her head but raising her eyebrows, hinting at the eldest prince with his eyes, the eldest prince waved his hand to disperse the entourage around him, and only then did he listen. Ye Qian said softly: "Back to Your Highness, this matter is really strange... I dare not speak directly, because I am afraid that His Highness will have some bad doubts in his heart, this is not something I can bear... "

"I told you to say it, and you said it, talking and talking!" Seeing that the normally stable person panicked in front of him, cold sweat dripped down his temples, Qi Gu was even more furious, and urged road.

Ye Qian repeatedly confirmed that all the attendants around had retreated, blinked her eyes, bowed her head and whispered, "Return to Your Highness, it is indeed the empress's idea to make An Jieyu look like this, but this cold gold note is indeed the Holy Majesty's will." , if there is no oral order from the emperor, how can the cold gold paper be taken out from the treasury! Isn’t this a serious crime of beheading?”

"Is it my father's idea?" A bad premonition slipped through Qi Gu's mind, so he shrewdly sidetracked: "Is it my father who wants to be a portrait?"

Seeing that the eldest prince was about to take the bait, Ye Qian was full of caution in his actions, shook the fabric of his cuffs, shook his head and replied: "If the emperor wants to make a portrait, why don't you dare to say it directly, this cold golden note is specially made by the emperor The specially appointed person took it out from the warehouse, and it was to be stored in Fengluan Palace first, and on the day the little prince landed, he ordered the servant to keep a portrait of the little prince for... for future..."

Ye Qian didn't need to finish these words, the eldest prince could also hear the clue, knowing that his guess was eight or nine, and it was indeed left by his father to the prince in An Jieyu's stomach.First there was the unicorn jade pendant, and then there was the cold golden note, even if he wanted to pretend he didn't know anything, he couldn't pretend anymore.

"Your Highness?" Seeing that the situation was good, Ye Qian accepted it. Seven points of the play were enough, and the remaining three points were for the Eldest Prince to experience, "If Your Highness is fine, please ask the minister to go to Fengluan Palace first. Jieyu's fetus is restless, she might give birth to a prince someday."

"Well, let's go, don't waste the time." Qi Gu waved his hand and sent the person away impatiently.Painter Ye picked up the scroll and headed towards Fengluan Palace, with a smile that was sure to win on his lips.

The outskirts of Yincheng.

In the carriage room, Liao Xiaofu couldn't help smacking his tongue when he heard it, and exclaimed in surprise, "Your Highness actually asked the Empress to collude with Ye painter?"

"Hey, what is a gang? Can you say something nice with your little mouth? After all, she is also the empress of Dazhao, the orphaned queen, and your future mother. How can you use the word gang? At most, it is a conspiracy. That's all." Qi Mo didn't stop what he was doing, he peeled fresh almonds for Xiao Fuzi, "Come on, open your mouth."

"Ah..." Liao Xiaofu opened his mouth obediently, and waited for the prince to peel almonds and put them in his mouth, his eyelashes blinked quickly, like two small fans, "Is that cold gold paper really so precious?"

"Of course gold is expensive. Haven't you heard the saying that paper is more expensive than oil in the Bell and Drum Division? Since the Hanlin uses mica paper, the monarch or emperor can only use cold gold paper. The mica paper is embedded with mica. Leng Jinjian is made of real gold and silver, which is ground into powder and punched in. According to the size, it is divided into three grades: upper, middle and lower. If the paper is made in a large size, it will be more expensive. If it is for the emperor, it will take a I am afraid that there are only a few sheets of Lengjin paper in the entire palace, and it will take another two years. Even Gu only used it once in the year when he became the crown prince, and the portrait is still in the mother's harem. The mother found the painting again The painter made a copy and sent it to the grand master's mansion as a gift to my grandfather." Qi Mo stuffed an almond into Xiao Fuzi's mouth, saw that he didn't taste it carefully, chewed it and swallowed it, then told him to open his mouth, Xiao Fuzi was reluctant to open up.Well, I didn't like almonds at first.So he took out fresh pumpkin seeds from the snack box, cracked open one, and said, "Come, Fu'er, open your mouth."

Liao Xiaofu naturally didn't like the slightly bitter almonds, so he just passed the taste on the tip of his tongue and quickly swallowed it.This time, seeing the prince eating melon seeds, the little mouth opened again.The pumpkin seeds were deliciously sun-dried, and they chewed after eating them. Liao Xiaofu swallowed, feeling a little unsatisfied, but his heart was full of things: "Your Highness will be able to arrive at Xiaoliangzhuangzi today, right? The servant has also thought about it. If you follow His Highness Going into the city, you might get in the way of His Majesty's hands and feet, and miss His Majesty's business. This servant is not ignorant of flattery. He knows that he is not as good as Master Su, so he waits in the Zhuangzi with his seniors. Counting the days, General Yang Can Maybe I have already met Mr. Zhang, and I haven’t seen Senior Brother for a long time. I dreamed about Senior Brother several times last night, and I was very worried. I hope that His Highness’s important matter will be settled soon, and I can also enter the palace to kowtow to Master. .”

"Well, now the arrow is on the string, so I have to send it." Qi Mo didn't want to bother Xiao Fuzi, so he cracked another pumpkin seed, and before he could speak, Xiao Fuzi waited with a sigh of relief, um, this time Qi Mo knew in his mind that he didn't like almonds, but pumpkin seeds.The two of them were eating well when they heard a commotion outside and the carriage stopped.

"Report!" The curtain of the carriage was lifted by someone, and the person holding the reins outside knelt down and said, "His Royal Highness, there is someone riding a single horse from a distance, he has been stopped, and his name is Jiang Wencheng!"

"Senior brother! He is a slave's senior brother! Your Highness, please don't kill him!" Liao Xiaofu exclaimed and stood up with a smile.Unexpectedly, it was the senior brother who came, it seems that the soldiers of the Su family are ready to respond.

In Fengluan Palace, Wang Guofu took the letter sent by the Taishi Mansion and waited for the empress to send it.No one would have imagined that the fourth prince would enter the city with the crown prince's Yuling badge to take risks, and at this time, he didn't run far, and even ran into the palace.Yesterday, I asked someone to send a secret letter, asking my mother to replace the guards of Yincheng with her own people, not asking for the city gate to be wide open, but only asking to be able to enter Yincheng.But this looks very bad in the eyes of Wang Guofu, he watched the prince grow up, and he is not familiar with the Fourth Highness, he only saved him once and never met again.Now he doesn't know what the child looks like or what kind of character he has, but judging from this letter, this person is not as kind as the prince.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness the Fourth Highness insists on entering the city, and this old slave seems inappropriate." Wang Guofu is also a servant of the family who grew up with Empress Zhao, and he always thinks about everything closely, "Isn't the Fourth Highness forcing your Majesty?" ? When is this, he still doesn’t know how to avoid it.”

Unexpectedly, the empress didn't show a hint of blame on her face, she held the letter for a long time and read it, her hands trembling, she was really reluctant to burn the letter written by Rong'er herself. "Rong'er's child is going to enter the city. As a queen mother, I can't help much, and I can only help. Please help the prince to prepare the car and sedan chair. The child will definitely return to the Grand Master's Mansion when he comes back. I want to see him .”

see youWang Guofu was very unhappy when he heard this. Although he had never met the Fourth Highness, he could see clearly what the Fourth Highness was doing. If he suddenly met the Queen Mother, the child would only have the throne in his heart. What did he say? Tell the young miss what you want to say, isn't that just cutting your heart with a knife?But Wang Guofu has been used to obeying his words since he was serving the queen since he was a child. The eldest lady wanted to see the baby, so he had to risk his life to let the eldest lady see the fourth prince.

"The slave is ready to go now, the empress is just waiting with peace of mind."

The author has something to say:

Thank you to the little cuties who are waiting for my update!Chinese New Year is really too busy, but fortunately, I can write with peace of mind as soon as the fifth day of the new year is over! ! !mwah! ! !

Xiao Fufu opened his mouth and waited for food, no matter how cute he was
