Regent sucks cats daily

Xiao Jumao wandered outside for a day, and returned to Jingquan Palace before dinner, Zhao Quan saw them coming back, so he ordered the imperial dining room to serve.

Yuan Bao, who was sleeping full in his arms, smelled the aroma of the meal, and immediately jumped onto the table in good spirits, and came to his own food bowl.

If it was in the past, Zhao Quan would have accompanied Xiao Jumao to try food and pick up vegetables, but now, these things are all taken care of by Ding Guogong, and Xiao Jumao's daily life has nothing to do with him.

He silently withdrew from the hall, really worried that one day His Majesty would no longer need him as the chief executive.

Xiao Jumao spent a day in activities outside the palace, exhausted some energy, and he was in a good mood, so he ate more, but after eating, he found his stomach was a little bloated.

Tan Shiguan put a coat on him, "Why don't you go for a walk in the Imperial Garden to digest your food?"

Xiao Jumao nodded, and the two left Jingquan Palace and walked towards the Imperial Garden, Zhao Quan led the palace staff to follow behind.

In the imperial garden, autumn chrysanthemums are in full bloom, with a faint fragrance floating, the orange sunset gradually sinks to the horizon, and the sun's rays dye the sky red, Xiao Jumao sits down in the gazebo surrounded by chrysanthemums, and Tan Shiguan sits beside him, stretching out his hands for him Massage the stomach.

Zhao Quan was already guarded by people around him, and he was not allowed to come any closer without permission.He doesn't care who His Majesty likes or who he is with, as long as His Majesty is happy anyway.

"Has there been news from Jiangnan?" Xiao Jumao leaned his back on the man's chest, closed his eyes, and asked calmly.

"They have seized the power of the Zhu family, and they seem to be trying to fight against Yunxiao Villa. My eldest brother wrote that Yunxiao Villa has been hit a little bit, but the other party is just testing it now."

Xiao Jumao nodded to express his understanding, "If the other party drives the forces of Yunxiao Villa out of Jiangling City, and even destroys Yunxiao Villa, what kind of consequences will it eventually lead to?"

Tan Shiguan massaged his abdomen while answering: "I guess, those people's behind-the-scenes masterminds should come from Di Kingdom, Di Kingdom is in the north of us, and Jiangling City is in the south of the capital. If they really control the Jiangnan area, When the time comes, the north and the south will attack from both sides, and we will be attacked from both sides."

Xiao Jumao frowned, "That's true, but I think their purpose may be more than that. Do you still remember the person Wu Heng was going to meet before he died? Moreover, this is the thread that Wang An Xiao Yi led."

The two looked at each other, and it was time for the capital to be cleaned up.

The red glow gradually dissipated and the sky turned dark, Xiao Jumao stood up and said, "Go back to Jingquan Palace."

As soon as he stepped out of the gazebo, he heard a familiar noise not far away, Xiao Jumao frowned, "I almost forgot about her."

There is also a domineering Xiao Zhining in the palace. The one-month confinement period has already passed. It seems that she has started acting like a demon again.

"Your Majesty, Her Royal Highness said that she wanted to see you." Zhao Quan walked over slowly and replied respectfully.

Xiao Jumao was standing outside the gazebo, his expression was difficult to discern, and he couldn't see his thoughts.When Xiao Zhining came over, she saw Xiao Jumao at a glance, and then saw Tan Shiguan beside him.

This is strange.

At least in her eyes, Xiao Jumao is just a puppet who can be rounded and flattened by others, without any advantages except a face.And Tan Shiguan is the kind of person she admires most.In the past, the first thing she saw was always the view of time.

But why, today's Xiao Jumao has changed a lot, becoming so unbearable to look at directly?No wonder the queen mother warned her to be more cautious when facing Xiao Jumao in the future.

"Zhi Ning has seen Brother Huang." She bowed obediently, her almond eyes quickly glanced at Tan Shiguan.

Tan Shiguan said indifferently: "I have seen the princess."

When Xiao Jumao saw Xiao Zhining, he remembered the past.One time, she was framed by Xiao Zhining, and another time, she colluded with the recruits in the training camp and almost drowned herself, but she hadn't settled with her yet.

"Zhi Ning, you are eighteen, do you have someone you like? If so, I will give you a marriage, and by the way, I will give you an elegant house as a princess mansion."

Although Xiao Jumao didn't like Xiao Zhining, he never thought of playing tricks on her marriage. As long as she was willing, he could marry her off immediately, so as not to cause trouble in the palace every day.

Xiao Zhining's eyes lit up, "Brother Emperor, anyone can do it?"

Xiao Jumao smiled, "Of course not." He paused and continued, "However, I still have to ask the Queen Mother about your marriage."

After all, Xiao Zhining is the Empress Dowager's biological daughter, presumably the Empress Dowager has already made plans for her marriage.

"Let's go to Ningxi Palace."

Because the Empress Dowager said that she would always accompany the ancient Buddha with the blue lamp, Xiao Jumao ordered people to build a Buddhist hall in Ningxi Palace, and the Empress Dowager knocked on wooden fish in the Buddhist hall silently every day.

When Xiao Jumao and others came over, the Ningxi Palace was completely silent, when the palace people saw Xiao Jumao, they quickly knelt down to salute, the closer they were to the Buddhist hall, the clearer the regular knocking sound.

Chang Lian stood guard outside the Buddhist hall, when he saw Xiao Jumao, he bowed his head and knelt down to salute, but Xiao Jumao didn't let him get up, and asked: "Is the Queen Mother inside?"

"Yes."

Xiao Jumao was silent for a while, and then said: "Go in and report, just say that I brought Zhining to pay my respects."

Chang Lian knew that the Empress Dowager's only daughter, Xiao Zhining, was most distressed, so he got up and went to the Buddhist hall to report.

After a while, he came out again to lead them in.

The queen mother was still knocking on the wooden fish with her back to them, Xiao Zhining knelt down beside her, and tugged at the queen mother's dark sleeves with both hands.

"Mother."

Xiao Jumao said indifferently: "My son, send my respects to the Empress Dowager."

The Empress Dowager finally stopped her movements, stood up slowly, faced Xiao Jumao, her eyes were unmoved, "Why does the Emperor come to see Ai's family?"

"Zhi Ning has reached the marriageable age. After all, the Empress Dowager is Zhi Ning's mother, so I came to ask you what you mean."

The Empress Dowager's eyes suddenly became sharp. Is the thing she was most worried about going to happen?In order to get revenge, Xiao Jumao wants to tamper with Zhining's marriage?She won't let this happen!

"What does the emperor mean by this?"

Xiao Jumao didn't show it on the face, but there was a sneer in his heart. It is estimated that the Empress Dowager must think that she is going to kill her own daughter at this time. He is not so narrow-minded and focuses on Xiao Zhining's marriage.However, what he wants is the empress dowager's fear.

"I just want to ask what the queen mother thinks." His eyes were clear, his expression was calm, and he didn't seem to be lying.But when the queen mother thought that he was using such a mask to disguise and planned the fall of the Lin family, she didn't believe him at all.

"Let them all go out." The queen mother glanced at Tan Shiguan and Xiao Zhining, and said in a deep voice.

It was exactly what Xiao Jumao wanted.

"Dingguo Gong, Zhining, you go outside the hall and wait."

He spoke, including Chang Lian, the rest of the people all retreated outside the hall, leaving only Xiao Jumao and the Queen Mother.

"Come on, what are the conditions?" The queen mother stared at him closely with a pair of phoenix eyes. Zhining was her weakness, and she could only compromise.

Xiao Jumao was waiting for this sentence.

"The condition is very simple, as long as you agree, I will never interfere with Xiao Zhining's marriage." Of course, he had no intention of interfering.

"You said."

"When your father was still there, once Wufeng Kingdom sent an envoy to visit and gave you some rare treasures, and your father gave you the Zi Ning Zhi."

The Queen Mother frowned, "What you want is Zi Ningzhi?"

"That's right." He's not greedy. If you really want to say it, he's cheating. Although he's a bit inferior, he can't think of any other way to be honest, so he simply takes advantage of the empress dowager's motherly heart.

"That was the only gift the late emperor gave to Ai's family." The Empress Dowager looked dull.

Xiao Jumao couldn't help thinking of his mother and concubine, his father hadn't given anything to his concubine yet.

"The things are in the warehouse of Ningxi Palace, and the Ai family asked Chang Lian to pick them up."

Xiao Jumao shook his head, "Queen Mother, can you go get it yourself? I will accompany you."

He always felt that Chang Lian was very gloomy, and he was often frightened by him when he was a child. Zi Ningzhi's life was at stake, so he had to be careful.

The queen mother was stunned for a moment, seeing his firm expression, she nodded and led the way.

The two left the Buddhist hall and walked towards the warehouse. Tan Shiguan and the others didn't know why, so they had to stay where they were and wait.

Not long after, Xiao Jumao came back with the Queen Mother, he saw his steps briskly, his eyes bright, and he didn't know what good things happened to him.

"The Ai family has already done what should be done, and please don't forget your words." The queen mother left a sentence, then held Xiao Zhining's hand and re-entered the Buddhist hall.

The corners of Xiao Jumao's mouth curled up slightly, and he said, "Go back to Jingquan Palace."

As soon as he returned to Jingquan Palace, Xiao Jumao sat on the bed and looked up at Tan Shiguan with a smile in his slightly round eyes.

Yuan Bao just fell asleep, when he saw the two masters coming back, he immediately threw himself on Xiao Jumao, stomping here and there in his arms.

Tan Shiguan poured a cup of warm tea, walked to the side of the bed, and handed it to his lips, "Are you thirsty? Drink some tea first."

Xiao Jumao opened his mouth and took a sip, "Aren't you wondering what I did with the Queen Mother?"

Tan Shiguan held the teacup in his hand, his brows were handsome and gentle, "It's probably a good thing."

Xiao Jumao didn't hold back anymore, and directly took out a uniquely crafted brocade box from his wide sleeve, "Open it and see what it is."

Tan Shiguan put down the teacup and took it over. As soon as he opened it, he saw purple light flowing in front of his eyes, and then gradually faded.The contents in the box are no bigger than the palm of your hand, at first glance, it looks like a very beautiful purple jade, but when you look closely, you can find that the material is much softer than jade.

"Zi Ningzhi?" Tan Shi looked at the lid of the box, his first reaction was not surprise, but worry, "What did you promise the Queen Mother?"

Xiao Jumao was heartbroken, and it was not in vain for him to have the audacity to deceive this thing. He took the ingot, stood up, and said intentionally: "The queen mother said, as long as I let Lin Mo go, she will exchange it."

Tan Shiguan frowned, "Send it back." Lin Mo intended to rebel, and it was too dangerous to let him out.

Xiao Jumao let out a chuckle, he stretched his arm around the man's waist, pecked him on the lips, his brows and eyes curved, "I'm lying to you, I just promised the queen mother not to interfere in Xiao Zhining's marriage."

"really?"

Xiao Jumao stared wide-eyed, "What did I lie to you for?"

"Your Majesty just lied to me." Tan Shiguan put the brocade box beside the bed, stretched out his arms to hug him, bowed his head under Xiao Jumao's soft hum, and kissed his plump and moist lips.

Xiao Jumao closed his eyes and was lingering with him, the two of them stuck together tightly, their heartbeats were intertwined, they were fond of each other, and the tip of their tongues played and danced together.

Since Xiao Jumao first tasted the forbidden fruit last time, he did not perform Zhou Gong's ceremony with Tan Shi, now he was excited and the timing was just right, so he turned over the sign of Ding Guogong again and asked him to serve him for a while.

After rolling several times on the large dragon bed, Xiao Jumao lay motionless on the bed, as if he had just been fished out of the water.The face is like a peach blossom, the eyes are blurred, the lips are red and swollen, and the white skin like jade is also covered with love marks. Against the bright yellow bed curtain, it is even more fascinating and charming.

Tan Shiguan was not much better, there were still many scratches on his back and chest, his forehead hair was completely soaked, he reached out and hugged Xiao Jumao, "Your Majesty, I will wait for you to take a bath."

Xiao Jumao couldn't utter a word, he could only let Tan Shiguan clean up his body, when he fell asleep in the bathtub, he still wondered if he could get up in the morning.

He fell into a coma until Maoshi, when he was awakened by Tan Shiguan's kiss. Before he could turn his head around, he stretched out his hand and slapped his left cheek, leaving a red mark.

Tan Shiguan grabbed his hand helplessly, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, it's time to go to court."

Xiao Jumao was still a very responsible emperor, no matter how sleepy he was, he still struggled to get up.In a daze, he went from Tan Shiguan to wait for him to wash and dress, and wobbled until he reached the gate of Qiankun Hall before he woke up.

He sat on the dragon chair, tried his best to straighten his waist, and kept in good spirits, listening to the courtiers below.

"Reporting to the emperor, I think that Ding Ran, as a woman, and her father is still a criminal minister, cannot be qualified for the position of coach of the training camp."

When Ding Ran became the coach of the training camp, the city was full of storms.After all, the training camp is all men's territory, and a woman is the coach of a group of men, and she laughs out loud!

Military generals are fine, they are bold and bold, and don't care much about these outdated rules, but civil servants are different. They think that after reading the books of sages, they have a reason to criticize women on the basis of gender, as if they forgot who they were born from .

Xiao Jumao gave a cold "oh", and then said nothing.Anyone could see that he was unhappy, and some people wanted to second, but they were stopped by the people around him.

After a while, Xiao Jumao opened his mouth and said: "I would like to ask all my loves a few questions."

All the ministers bowed their heads and waited.

"Why can the number one scholar of all dynasties become the number one scholar?" Xiao Jumao's clear and light voice sounded in the hall.

The ministers didn't know why he asked this question. After thinking for a while, a minister came out and said: "Your Majesty, I think that it is because the talent of the champion is better than others, so he can become the champion."

Xiao Jumao clapped his hands and smiled, "Well said."

"I'll ask another question, has anyone heard the saying that there is a martial arts leader in Jianghu?"

"Go back to the emperor, I have heard about it."

When one person answered, the other ministers nodded their heads in understanding.

Xiao Jumao asked again: "Then why can the leader of the martial arts be the leader of the martial arts?"

"Naturally, it is the top martial arts, and everyone expects it."

Xiao Jumao laughed, "I'm really happy, I thought all my lovers didn't understand these principles, but now that you all understand, I'm relieved."

All the ministers: "..." What kind of medicine is sold in the emperor's gourd?

"Instructor Ding and Marquis Weiyuan are equally equal in martial arts, so why can Marquis Weiyuan be the instructor but not Ding Ran? Isn't this contrary to what you just said?"

All the ministers: "..." Your Majesty, the point is not whether the martial arts is high or not, the point is that Ding Ran is a woman!

"Let's talk about the daughter of a criminal minister, um, her father is indeed a criminal minister, but she has been trapped innocently for several years. I read the articles you wrote before, and many of them are praising the touching spirit and integrity. I thought that Coach Ding could Persevering in the face of adversity is beyond human ability, why don’t you guys praise it? Could it be that the articles you wrote before are all fake?”

Some courtiers have noticed the emperor's dark fire, and they have been silent, but there are still stubborn and sour old courtiers who still use "women" to refute Xiao Jumao.

Xiao Jumao thought again that when he was a child, his mother and concubine often regretted that she was a daughter and could not make achievements like a man, galloping on horses, and sometimes complained that the world was too unfair to women.

Xiao Jumao could really feel the pain and struggle in the heart of the concubine mother, and it was because of his understanding that he was angry.

He slapped the armrest suddenly, and shouted to those stubborn veterans: "I ordered you to write an article immediately when you go back, denouncing the founding queen of the Xiao Kingdom for not abiding by women's morals. She galloped across the battlefield and killed thousands of enemies. The soldiers eat and drink together, how can a violent woman with blood stained hands be worthy of being the founding queen?"

Qiankun Palace was suddenly silent, the air seemed to become sticky, and all the officials felt that it was difficult to breathe.

"Heh, do you dare?" Xiao Jumao looked at their quail appearances and sneered, "Shut up if you don't dare, instead of thinking that it would be embarrassing for the heirs of the family to be suppressed by women, it is better to think about why they are suppressed .”

No one dared to speak anymore, until Duke Dingguo, who was at the forefront, said "The Emperor is holy", all the ministers seemed to be awakened, and shouted "The emperor is holy".

After retreating, Xiao Jumao returned to Jingquan Palace with a sullen expression on his face. Seeing him coming back, Yuan Bao suddenly jumped into his arms, with a pair of cat eyes that were clear and bright, pure and innocent, and softly turned towards Xiao Jumao After calling out, the anger in Xiao Jumao's heart suddenly subsided a little.

Tan Shiguan came in afterward, seeing that he was having fun with Yuan Bao, he couldn't help but feel relieved, he was afraid that His Majesty's anger would ruin his body.

Poured a cup of chrysanthemum tea and handed it to Xiao Jumao, "Don't get angry with them."

Xiao Jumao took a sip, took the tranquilizing stone on the bed in his hand, and quickly calmed down, "I just thought, if the concubine mother is still here, she must be very happy."

Tan Shiguan took him into his arms, "I will definitely."

Xiao Jumao put the ingot on him, "I'm tired, let's sleep for a while." It's pretty good to be able to persist until now.

Tan Shiguan took off his clothes, hair and quilt for him, watched him slowly close his eyes, his breathing gradually became slow and steady, but saw Xiao Jumao suddenly opened his eyes, as if awakened by something.

"By the way, according to my oral order, the training camp can rest for one day during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and they are allowed to go home and reunite with their relatives."

"Understood, you can sleep in peace." Tan Shiguan understood the reason for Xiao Jumao's move, they wanted to follow Wan Peng's clue to find out the ghosts and monsters in the capital.

Tanshi saw him falling asleep, so he got up and left Jingquan Palace, went back to Dingguo Mansion, handed Ziningzhi to Zhou Shuo, Zhou Shuo sighed a few words, and immediately went back to the house to make medicine.

Tan Shiguan went to the study again, and returned to Jingquan Palace after a revised book was delivered to Jiangnan.When he arrived at Jingquan Palace, his heart instantly settled down, and he felt restless if he didn't see His Majesty for a moment.

In the blink of an eye, the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival came, and the recruits in the training camp rushed out of the camp like birds released from their cages, went straight to their homes, and threw themselves into the arms of their relatives, telling about the hard days in the training camp and the horror of the three instructors.

Although most of the elders were distressed, they were very happy to see that their spirits were much better than before, so they coaxed a few times, and the family sat down and cherished this rare reunion moment.

Xiao Jumao dealt with government affairs in the palace for a day, and when night fell, he changed into ordinary clothes and came to Dingguo Mansion together with Tan Shiguan, with Yuanbao, and Xiao Fan, Zhou Shuo, Ding Then they eat together.

After all, he didn't live alone in the palace, Xiao Jumao was very happy.

"Xiao Fan, I'll take you to the market later, the Mid-Autumn Festival should be very lively." Xiao Jumao said with a smile.

He actually wanted to go by himself, he had never seen how lively festivals outside the palace were.

After the reunion meal, Zhou Shuo said that he was going to go to the pharmacy instead of going with them, so Xiao Jumao, Tan Shiguan and Ding Xiao's master and apprentice came to the lively market.

There are many people in the market, all of whom have just come out from a meal to play with their families.Xiao Jumao saw a lantern riddle not far away, so he took Tan Shiguan and walked over quickly.Tan Shi Guanxu hugged him to prevent him from being hit by pedestrians.

A lot of people surrounded the place where the lantern riddles were guessed, and there was a small alley next to it, not far from the famous Woyun Tower in the capital.

Woyunlou was the place where Jiang Ling used to hang out frequently.

But Xiao Jumao didn't care about this, he looked at those lantern riddles, and found that his brain was not enough, he couldn't guess any of them, his beautiful brows frowned slightly.

"You rarely come into contact with these, so it's normal if you can't guess it." Tan Shiguan comforted him.

Some literati students like to have some fun when they have nothing to do. Xiao Jumao has always learned the way of governing the country as a king, and no one dared to teach him this.

Xiao Jumao sighed lightly, "Then you guess."

Tan Shiguan can actually guess a lot, but for His Majesty's mood, he said: "I have always been good at wielding knives and guns, let alone guessing."

Only then did Xiao Jumao feel more balanced.

Xiao Fan followed closely beside Ding Ran. He was not interested in lantern riddles, so he looked around, looking at the tall buildings and restaurants decorated with numerous lights, and felt that he was extremely insignificant.

Not far away, a dusty carriage slowly drove into the alley next to it. Xiao Fan didn't care at first, so he ignored it.

After a while, Xiao Jumao lost interest in the lantern riddles and continued walking. When they passed the alley, Xiao Fan stopped suddenly.

"Xiaofan, what's wrong?" Ding Ran noticed something strange about him.

Xiao Jumao and Tan Shiguan turned around.

Xiao Fan bent down and picked up something from his feet. It was a silly tiger woven from palm leaves. He took a deep breath, widened his eyes, and looked at Xiao Jumao and the others helplessly. It's a gift from me to brother Hongye."
