happy rebirth

The emperor is probably ill, the empress thought so.

They have been husband and wife for decades, just like most couples in this era, although the two of them have never had the idea of ​​falling in love, the emperor has always respected the queen and trusted her a lot.Even though there are many beauties in the harem, the emperor has never neglected Changqiu Palace.

But the number of times the emperor has come to Changqiu Palace in the past two days is too much!

The queen drank tea with the emperor elegantly, but her mind was full of various things, and she was too busy.Well, the summer palace clothes have been cut, and all the orders for this month have been sent out. Originally, these palace affairs were handed over to the Crown Princess, and the Crown Princess has indeed done a good job, but now the Crown Princess needs to feel at ease Taking care of the prince's body, the queen had to take over again.Although she was used to doing palace affairs, as a queen, she had to consider other things. For example, the birthday of a super-ranked elder outside the palace was coming, and the queen had to ask someone to prepare the congratulatory gifts.

Why do you say that a good wife and husband have few misfortunes?This gift-giving is a science, and the empress's gift represents the dignity given by the emperor to the veteran.

The queen sighed inwardly, and silently put down the teacup.She is so busy, how can she have time to gossip with the emperor!

Moreover, look at what the emperor likes to hear recently!

Which mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are not at peace with each other, and the whole capital sees it as a joke; which mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are at odds with each other, how the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law fight each other, how the house is full of smog, and how the head of the family stands up, he will do it all. What made them stop at last; the emperor even asked with great interest about the relationship between the empress and the empress dowager, what can the empress say?Can she say that the queen mother has been making trouble for her and never stopped?

I don't know where the emperor got such an interest!

The queen decided to bring trouble to the east, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, speaking of the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law... I have always envied my sister Concubine Shu, the second child is a filial child, and she has always been very respectful to my concubine. Concubine Shu is very respectful." Those who like her are like a pair of mother and daughter. The emperor might as well go to the Oasis Palace of Concubine Shu's younger sister." When the queen was young, she had no intention of competing for favor, as long as the concubine was obedient, then she was virtuous.

The emperor was driven away by the eldest wife to the younger wife.

The emperor is not very lucky to visit the harem anymore, it's all for the sake of keeping himself healthy.But he usually goes to sit with the concubine who has a son.Although Concubine Shu didn't know what the emperor was up to during the day, she told the truth, "Xiu'er is a good child, I have always liked her."

"Haven't you guys ever quarreled?" the emperor asked.

Concubine Shu smiled and said: "When the second child just got married, although I already knew that Xiu'er was a good girl at that time, I didn't get along with her very much. At that time, I was willing to treat her well, but I just thought that she wanted to accompany her." If the second child lives a lifetime, if you treat her well, you are also treating the second child well."

This made sense, the emperor nodded.

Concubine Shu continued: "Presumably Xiu'er thinks the same in her heart. She is willing to be filial to her concubine, one is because the Qingyang Hou Mansion taught her well, she is indeed a filial child, and the other is because she knows that the second child is filial. The queen is also filial to the concubine. If she thinks carefully, it will make things difficult for the second child. Both the concubine and her are looking forward to the well-being of the second child, so they will naturally get along well. After a long time to see people's hearts, the concubine will really treat Xiu'er as a concubine. It's a girl."

Most of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are at odds because of the same man, but Concubine Shu gave Kairui another way of saying that she and Princess De got along harmoniously because of Prince De.Emperor Kairui immediately realized that the discord between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is because they have selfish intentions, while Concubine Shu and Princess Deqin are so harmonious because they have no selfish intentions!They all hoped for the good of Prince De in their hearts, so they couldn't bear to embarrass him!

Emperor Karui suddenly felt a little envious of his son.How lucky is the Prince de Prince!

In Kai Ruidi's view, Ke Qi's metaphor of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is very incisive.Although the inner house methods are sometimes not on the table, and sometimes they are a bit petty, but there are still merits in the scheming and nonsense.The emperor got scriptures from the women in the harem, and had many bad ideas in his mind.When the court meeting was held, the courtiers suddenly noticed that the emperor looked at them with strange eyes.And the emperor has become so difficult.

As the chief culprit who made the emperor become ruthless and unreasonable, Ke Qi lived a very happy life.

In the capital, the storyteller is still telling the love story between Ke Tanhua and Xie Liuyuan.Everyone in the capital knew that they were a match made in heaven, and even this match made in heaven was about to spread throughout the world.At this moment, someone had an idea, and remembered that the relationship between Ke Qi and Xie Jinhua was the Great Monk Fa Yan.For a time, Master Fayan became the object of pursuit by unmarried men and women in the capital.

At first, it was said that Master Fayan has supernatural powers and can calculate a happy marriage for people.Gradually, the rumors became more and more outrageous, and some people even said that Master Yan was the moon elder who descended from the sky, and if he got a red thread from him, he would have a happy marriage.A well-educated eminent monk is praised by the world as a matchmaker.

Master Fayan now lives in the Royal Temple.

Ordinary people can't easily get in touch with the master, but dignitaries can still find opportunities to get in touch.Seeing more and more people coming to him to calculate the marriage fate for their children and grandchildren, the master touched his bald head with a solemn and precious face, feeling very helpless.

The master is from the south, and he speaks a dialect that no one can understand.With a smile on his face, he said unhurriedly in the dialect of his hometown: "Every time I meet someone, I have to change into a cassock and put on a serious expression. I really can't live a comfortable life!" I am the only one who recites Amitabha Buddha, and I really want to marry him, so they are not afraid that the Taoist emperors and generals will go to their house in the middle of the night to make trouble!"

The little monk couldn't understand what the master said, and looked at the master blankly.

The master clasped his palms together and performed a Buddhist salute, then changed into Mandarin, and said, "Amitabha, I just said that the incense in the temple is very prosperous recently. , cultivate compassion and dedicate all merits to sentient beings.”

Monks don't tell lies, Amitabha, good and good.The little novice put his palms together and bowed to the master.

There are definite numbers in the dark.

The master looked in the direction of the capital, as if seeing a red sun rising.

In just a few days, all the ministers in the court knew that Ke Qi was a big celebrity around the emperor.Although the emperor didn't invite him to accompany him every day, there would always be one time every now and then.The emperor kept him for meals again and again!Every time Ke Qi accompanied the meal, the emperor's appetite would improve.

As soon as the emperor was happy, he gave Ke Qi the word Mingxian.The emperor is probably also a waste of names, the eldest brother of the Xie family was named Mingjun, Xie Jinhua was named Wenxian, and Ke Qi was given the name Mingxian, which sounds like a combination of the two of them.With the emperor's gift, Ke Qi can perform the crowning ceremony in advance.

In the history class 1000 years later, the teacher said to the students: "...Everyone must be very curious. As the number one beauty at that time, how beautiful was Ke Mingxian? According to historical records, the emperor at that time, every meal, Just call Ke Mingxian to come over to accompany the meal. Looking at his face, the emperor's appetite has improved. Think about it, if a person is as beautiful as boiled beef, hot plate mutton, white-cut chicken, and preserved vegetables Braised pork, roasted pork with chestnuts, and stewed lotus root are the same, and they can make people eat a few more mouthfuls of rice every meal, so what kind of delicious food is that, and the beauty in the world!"

Because of the frequent summons by the emperor, even though Ke Qi is a minor seventh-rank official, people dare not really treat him as a minor official.

There is always a phenomenon of stepping on the low and holding the high in the officialdom.Needless to say, Ke Qi, even Xie Jinhua felt a particularly obvious change.He was in the Chongwen Museum, so he was far away from all kinds of disputes, but Ke Qi was valued by the emperor, and everyone knew that Ke Qi and Mrs. Xie Jinhua had a good relationship, so they respected Xie Jinhua a little.Xie Jinhua privately told Ke Qi that he is being covered by Ke Qi now!

However, Ke Qi is not without distress.

If it is a normal newcomer in the officialdom, they will generally be a low-key person in their own department first, and then get to know colleagues and familiarize themselves with the top in the process, thereby opening up their social circle.In the officialdom, connections are very important.But Ke Qi didn't have this opportunity, he was instantly different from other rookies, not to mention seizing the opportunity to get to know other people, he is not familiar with the No. [-] and No. [-] of his same period.

So, when his colleagues invited Ke Qi to drink, even though Ke Qi wanted to go home earlier to accompany Xie Liuyuan, he still accepted it with a smile.

The people who made an appointment to drink were all members of the Hanlin Academy. Everyone had similar official ranks, and the highest among them was only a sixth-rank official.The others already had some friendships, but Ke Qi was not familiar with them.But Ke Qi knows how to be a man and how to talk, and after drinking for three rounds, everyone is no longer restrained.

One of them was surnamed Qi, and he was a concubine of a high family.Not all aunts can accommodate a concubine. In order to obtain family resources, and because he really prefers men, Qi Bianxiu offered to find a man to form a contract a few years ago, leaving no offspring in this life.His brother Qi is a businessman.Editor Qi has always been suffering from not being close enough to his brother Qi, and now that he drank too much wine, he couldn't help but want to learn from Ke Qi.

When Editor Qi asked such a question, everyone couldn't help looking at Ke Qi.Only Ke Qi can solve this problem!

A thought suddenly popped up in Ke Qi's mind.He has found a breakthrough to integrate into the collective!He can take this opportunity to play with everyone.

So, Ke Qi put down his wine glass, and asked with a smile: "Brother Qi's question is too general, and I didn't know how to answer it for a while. How about this, let me talk about a few specific examples, and Brother Qi might be able to gain something. For example, if that brother Qi's family suddenly wants to eat cotton candy..."

Editor Qi was actually a little drunk, otherwise he wouldn't have asked Ke Qi for the secrets of getting along with each other in front of everyone.Hearing what Ke Qi said, he opened his mouth and wanted to refute, saying: "He doesn't like food..." Before he could finish his words, he was stopped by the people around him.

The person who stopped Edit Qi hurriedly said, "So Xie Liuyuan likes to eat cotton candy? Xie Liuyuan is full of childlike innocence!"

"I'm just making an analogy." Ke Qi said.

Everyone looked at him with a look of "well, well, you are just making an analogy, we all believe it".

Cotton candy is a traditional Anchao folk dessert. Even if you eat it carefully, it is easy to stick to your mouth.Therefore, everyone ate in private, lest they be rude in front of others.Ke Qi continued: "If there is only one portion of cotton candy, how can brother Qi share it with the family?"

"It's not easy! Divide it into two bowls!" Qi Bianxiu said.

Ke Qi smiled and shook his head.

"If it were me, I should give all the cotton candy to my wife, and I won't eat it." Another person tried to answer.

Ke Qi still shook his head.

"Should I hurry up and send someone out to buy another copy?" Editor Qi asked.

Ke Qi continued to shake his head.

Editor Qi patted his thigh and said, "I understand, I can't send someone to buy it, I have to buy it myself. This time, right?"

"Still wrong." Ke Qi said with a smile.

The Hanlin Academy is full of smart people, and now a group of smart people still can't find an answer to this question.They thought hard for a while, and came up with several solutions, but Ke Qi kept shaking his head, so they had to beg Ke Qi to announce the answer.The ancients pursued a gentleman, but in fact, they could be very romantic in private. If the relationship between husband and wife is good, getting along is no more boring than modern people.But they still can't play Ke Qi!

Ke Qi said with a masterful attitude: "When a husband and wife get along, they really have to show their intentions. But intentions are not enough, and actions must be taken. No matter how good your ideas are, it is not as good as... When he just finished eating and didn't have time to wipe his mouth, he went up to taste a couple of mouthfuls."

Clothes!Everyone is speechless.

Editor Qi stood up and offered Ke Qi a big glass of wine with admiration.

When a group of Hanlin returned home, they passed by a pastry shop, and they bought all the cotton candy in the shop.
