Your Majesty, he has a backache and brain fever

In the subsequent ten-day test, Liu Zike did as he said, no longer inferior to Xia Moshi, but in Liu Zike's view, it was still far from enough, but this did not affect his two-day relationship with Xia Moshi. Sometimes they meet with each other, and sometimes they bring along their eccentric younger sister Liu Ziyi.

Every time, when there is a younger sister, thanks to her lively and kind words, whenever she finds that something is wrong, she will try to persuade her elder brother or Xia Moshi, so that the atmosphere between the three can always be slightly eased. Two, it won't make you jealous like an enemy meeting.

And the gang that was captured by Mr. Liu last time also explained the whereabouts of the kidnapped children in detail under various tortures, coercion, and lures. Most of them were good-looking and single-minded Children, mostly boys, were sold to remote places to be sons of barren couples.

Although it still takes some energy and painstaking efforts to find those children who are in trouble one by one, it is better to have clues than to search for a needle in a haystack like a headless chicken. During the month, relevant good news has been sent back to Shangjing one after another, and the people who lost it and recovered it are especially grateful for it.

All of a sudden, the heroic deeds of His Royal Highness Xia Moshi and the eldest son of Jingzhao Mansion Yin Liu Zike in fighting bandits, the good reputation of Jingzhao Mansion Yin's dedication to the people and the public, and Emperor Qi'an's benevolent government are all here in the capital. As the word spread, one or two sincere compliments could be heard in the streets and alleys.

At that time, the limelight of these people was very strong, and it was the same for a while.

In the resplendent palace, Emperor Qi An listened to the reports of the people below, and what he saw with his eyes and ears were all the praises from civil and military officials and villagers, and an indescribable feeling rose in his heart. Ambivalence.

On the one hand, he is gratified that Xiao Qi, who has been silent for so many years, finally has a good reputation. On the other hand, he who has always thought too much will inevitably feel a little uneasy and faintly suspicious. This kind of doubt, It's not that he suspects that Xia Moshi intends to take this opportunity to do something out of his control, but that he can't help but feel a little puzzled, is this really just a coincidence?

The emperor twirled his beard that had grown a bit longer, and frowned slightly, he asked the eunuch Hou who was beside him: "Hou Feng, my little Qi has received a lot of compliments from them, tell me, is this a good thing?" ?”

Eunuch Hou glanced at the emperor's expression, his heart was tense but his face was calm, and his words were gentle and gentle, which made people calm down involuntarily: "Return to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness has been frightened this time, and what he needs most must be you His concern, those who praise or not, must not be the most important thing for His Royal Highness. Since Your Majesty, you are also worried about His Highness, why don't you take this opportunity to go to Liufeng Hall to have a look?"

It was still the usual way of Tai Chi, but the emperor didn't blame him, nor was he angry because he didn't answer the question. Instead, he hummed and walked out, waving his hands to signal the palace people that they don't need to prepare to step away, and just raised their feet and went to Liufeng Hall and go.

But it was an unfortunate trip this time, Xia Moshi was sleeping in the hammock in the courtyard, only Xu Jieyu and Gu Yan were sitting on the stone table under a locust tree in the courtyard, with the breeze blowing by The finely shattered Sophora japonica flowers were occasionally mixed with a few fallen leaves. From time to time, Xu Jieyu used a ropa embroidered with exquisite patterns to help them repel mosquitoes. Just cover Xia Moshi's face.

The woman's gentle eyebrows and eyes made the emperor feel a little strange, as if he couldn't remember that there had been such a chrysanthemum-like woman with outstanding temperament in his life, and he was a little stunned. In an instant, why did he come here? Liufeng Palace will be forgotten.

However, when Xu Jieyu turned around, he could clearly see that her gentle eyes quickly cooled down, without any extra warmth in them, making the emperor feel as if he was just an insignificant person.

Afterwards, he thought again, isn't he an insignificant person? Although they already have an eight-and-a-half-year-old son, if he doesn't come today, he will definitely not remember that in this remote and lonely corner of the palace. There was such a woman who had been favored by him but was forgotten in an instant, and she didn't seem to want to see him like other concubines in the palace, and she didn't even bother to act superficially.

After so many years, he couldn't remember why he didn't care about such a person in the first place, and just let him fend for himself for so many years. middle reason.

The emperor remembered that when she and Gu Yan mentioned Xia Mo just now, they called him: "Xiao Xiao? Xiao Qi?"

"Yes, because I saw that he was born as a small ball and was so frail and worrying for a long time, the concubine boldly gave Mo'er such a baby name, and I hope His Majesty will not blame him."

The emperor had a cold face: "I look like such an unreasonable person? You are Xiaoqi's mother and concubine, so you naturally have the right and freedom to give him a baby name, and I will not interfere with you."

After finishing speaking, the emperor flung his sleeves and turned to leave. After walking two steps, he paused again, and heard a voice behind him without any ups and downs: "Respectfully, Your Majesty." She was as calm and composed as she was.

The emperor shook off his sleeves again, and went out without looking back.

Looking at the emperor's angry back, Gu Yan asked worriedly: "Miss Jieyu, aren't you afraid that His Majesty will blame you and implicate him?"

Following his worried eyes, Xu Jieyu stared at Xia Moshi's sleeping face, and said unhurriedly and indifferently: "No, I know."

In the afternoon, when Xia Moshi woke up, he saw Eunuch Hou leading two palace servants in with some rewards from the emperor. He was confused, and after they all left, he ran to ask his mother, but his mother smiled faintly: " It’s enough to eat enough.”

As soon as these words came out, Xia Moshi once again refreshed his understanding of the mother. On the contrary, Gu Yan, after hearing these words, took another look at the mother and son. Xu Jieyu noticed his gaze, She returned a relieved and entrusting smile to him, and then reluctantly lingered on his and Xia Moshi's faces for a while before stretching out her slender fingers to pat each of their faces lightly: "I'll go to the small kitchen to have a look. My steamed cheese should be almost ready."

Xu Jieyu's sugar-steamed crispy cheese is different from the kind that Xia Moshi ate outside. The taste is more delicate, the amount of sugar is moderately added, and there is a touch of sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance, which is refreshing. It tastes sweet but not greasy. It's cold and silky smooth. After eating a small cup in this hot summer, the whole person feels as if he has been reborn, and a refreshing and light feeling emerges from the inside out, making the whole person feel ecstatic.

Soon, the Liufeng Hall with only four people was filled with laughter. As for the episode at noon, no one mentioned it in front of Xia Moshi.

Afterwards, as Xu Jieyu said, the emperor not only did not vent his anger on Xia Moshi, but instead ran to Liufeng Palace every three days when he had nothing to do. The number of times was really limited, and Gu Yan and his own mother agreed very tacitly that neither of them mentioned the emperor, a person who was so unsightly, in front of him, so they didn't notice this abnormality at first.

However, after a long time, even if he was as dull as Xia Moshi, he finally noticed that something was wrong, because the frequency of imperial gifts in Liufeng Palace was getting higher and higher, and the emperor appeared in front of him more and more times. Other women in the house also began to appear from time to time in the small courtyard where they lived in peace.

In order to show the virtuousness and virtue of the mother of a country, the queen also sings the husband and wife, and all kinds of small decorations flow into the Liufeng Palace like flowing water. Emperor Qi An also often goes to wash his face in front of Xu Jieyu as if he was abused. Every time I go, as long as he doesn't ask, she will never say a word, and her attitude towards him is neither eager to welcome him, nor outright to drive him away, anyway, you will always be indispensable when you come. A cup of tea, one pot after another, will be poured for you until the emperor takes the initiative to get up and say goodbye.

After going back and forth, almost the entire imperial palace reached such a consensus - Xu Jieyu of Liufeng Palace was at the time when she was dominating the Sixth Palace, and it might not take long for this empress' status to rise again.

Therefore, it was very successful in attracting a lot of hatred for Xia Moshi's mother and son.

The direct expression is that when Xia Moshi passed by the Imperial College or met his imperial brothers in informal occasions, he didn't get any good looks. Even during the ten-day test, he was teased every time, such as bow and arrow It's normal for the flute to be broken, dumb and so on.

The most serious one was when participating in the riding and archery examination in early August, the reddish-brown horse Xia Moshi was riding suddenly kicked for some reason, and Xia Moshi was caught off guard and was thrown to the ground , broke two ribs.

So after that, Xia Moshi lay on the bed and spent a mid-autumn festival full of medicine under the influence of a very unpleasant smell of medicine. He even felt that even the mooncakes he ate were filled with a kind of bitterness. Bitter taste.

Of course, the emperor didn't let him suffer this fall in vain, and directly lowered the status of the biological mother of the fifth prince involved from Zhaorong to Ronghua, who was at the same level as Xu Jieyu, and Ronghua's palace was so angry. A lot of precious porcelain was broken, which also made Xia Moshi's situation more difficult.

So much so that the moderate route he planned to take before was directly broken, and he could only be silent for a period of time after gradually showing a little bit of edge, and then repeated the cycle, but he also won the emperor's favor by mistake.

However, the reason why life has thousands of possibilities is precisely because there is a word called impermanence, which can often give you a sudden blow in the head when you are not prepared.

And this stick finally came on the last day of the year.
