happy rebirth

Li Xu didn't protect the food, so he naturally invited Ke Qi and Xie Jinhua to eat together.Although there is a difference in generation between them, Xie Jinhua has never used his "uncle" status to talk about things, and Ke Qi has no concept of being an "aunt" at all, so the atmosphere when everyone gets along is always relatively relaxed.

Xie Jinhua recognized at a glance that it was a dim sum from the palace.The dim sum in the palace not only tastes good, but also must be beautiful in shape, so at first glance, it is impossible to guess what materials the dim sum is made of.But Xie Jinhua knew that it was actually made of lotus root powder after eating this dim sum.

To be honest, the last emperor of the former dynasty was actually a good emperor, but his great-grandfather, grandfather and his father did not leave him a good foundation.In the decades before the last emperor ascended the throne, the treasury became more and more empty, and the people's life became more and more difficult. Moreover, the last emperor ascended the throne at a young age, and almost all the power in his hands was in the hands of the auxiliary ministers.After the last emperor came to power, he wanted to turn the tide, but it was already too late.

Now that the Holy Majesty has seized the country, he has also taken over the mess left by the previous royal family.Therefore, when he first came to the throne, the treasury was almost empty.Today, we can only increase income and reduce expenditure in different ways.What, someone made a contribution?Alright, I will personally write the words "Devotion to Duty" and give it to you. Of course, the emperor's words are more valuable than any gold, silver and jewelry.What, you want to have fun with officials during the Chinese New Year?Well, I'll reward everyone with dim sum!

Naturally, the Qingyang Hou Mansion can receive dim sum every year.Xie Jinhua could also taste a small piece.

For such a piece of cake, Xie Jinhua had to get up early, kneel with his family in the cold wind to receive grace, and after tasting the cake, he had to bow in the direction of the imperial city again. The process was very troublesome.To be honest, Xie Jinhua felt a bit at a loss, and always felt that the pastries were not so delicious.

So, facing Li Xu's sharing, Xie Jinhua just got angry and didn't want to eat it.

he!Absolutely!right!No!meeting!greedy!palace!inside!of!point!Heart!

Of course, his childish thoughts did not show on his face.Therefore, neither Ke Qi nor Li Xu noticed that Xie Jinhua, who was calmly drinking tea, was actually angry with a plate of dim sum.Most people don't think in that direction, do they?In short, Xie Jinhua at this moment is lonely.

Li Xu smiled and said to Ke Qi: "This is just sent by the emperor's grandfather, you are lucky."

Ke Qi understood the deep meaning of Li Xu's words almost immediately.It must be that the strategy they discussed last time has worked!At this moment, Ke Qi, who traveled through time, had a fit of petty bourgeois mentality, and picked up a piece of dim sum based on the principle of "since it is something the emperor eats, then I must taste it".It tastes really good.However, Ke Qi himself doesn't like sweets very much, so after tasting this piece, he stopped reaching for it.

Although Li Xu's letter was to test the emperor, he did not lie about dim sum. He really likes this.So, while Xie Jinhua and Ke Qi were drinking tea, Li Xu ate up the whole plate of pastries in a short time.The kid has such a good appetite.

"Mother usually doesn't allow me to eat too many desserts." Li Xu said shyly.

Xie Jinhua nodded in understanding, pointed to Ke Qi and said, "He usually doesn't allow me to eat too much."

Li Xu immediately felt sympathy for Xie Jinhua.The relationship between the two seems to have grown a lot at this moment.

Ke Qi felt that he was wronged, and quickly explained: "That's because you eat too much snacks every afternoon, and you can't eat dinner. Dinner is a regular meal, so you must eat it well. It's all for your health. This You must listen to me." He said this to Xie Jinhua.

Li Xu said in a low voice: "My mother said that too." He felt more sympathetic to Xie Jinhua.

Ke Qi felt that Li Xu's sympathy came out of nowhere.But Li Xu was thinking in his heart, although he likes his mother very much, but when he gets married in the future, he must never find someone who takes care of him like a mother, otherwise he will be like a little uncle, and he will not be able to enjoy himself when he gets married. eat dessert.

Li Xu kind of wants to marry the Fang family's daughter-in-law (or son-in-law).Because Fang's family is an imperial merchant, the Floating Golden Silk Brocade, which can't produce a few horses a year, is the Fang family's unique craft. Li Xu especially wanted to have a dress made of Floating Golden Silk Brocade.It is said that the Fang family's dowry will have a golden silk brocade!

If Princess Dejun knew that her youngest son "allowed" herself out because of a piece of brocade, she would definitely beat him up!

If Princess Dejun knew that her youngest son was already thinking about the dowry of the missing daughter-in-law, she would definitely beat him up!

"However, this is the snack that the emperor rewarded me. Even if my mother knows, she can't blame me for it." Li Xu's liking for Chinese clothes is too persistent, so he seems a bit naive in this respect, but he In other things it is very measured.He said proudly: "Sure enough, I guessed it right. Grandpa Huang must be annoyed by the censors. I cried to him once, and he put me and himself in the same category."

this point is very important.Grouped into one category, they became "one of our own".Although, Li Xu is the emperor's grandson, he should be one of his own.

Ke Qi reminded: "Pay attention to the sense of proportion." Although the holy will is unpredictable, the emperor is also a human being, and he also has seven emotions and six desires.In Ke Qi's view, the emperor, as the lord of the world, is actually a loner, so Li Xu has to do everything possible to make the emperor feel that he is needed by Li Xu.

Li Xu can be disobedient appropriately, cause trouble appropriately, and act like a spoiled child by hugging the emperor's thigh appropriately.

On the contrary, the emperor will have a sense of satisfaction.

But this method of increasing favorability is not available to everyone.For example, the eldest son Li Chang can't act stupid around the emperor.Because he is the eldest son, the eldest son of King Dejun.Under normal circumstances, self-willedness and acting like a baby are often only the rights of the younger son and the eldest grandson.

"I know." Li Xu blinked his eyes, the slyness was fleeting, and only obedience remained.

Ke Qi asked Li Yang to take out the checkers from the luggage.The rules of this game are simple, but it is not so easy to play well. Li Xu was quickly attracted.However, Li Xu felt that the wooden beads did not feel good to the touch.He sighed, and said pretending to be distressed: "If I go to Grandpa Huang to play with the chessboard, and when the game is almost finished, I beg him to send me pearls and jades of various colors to make chess pieces, and he should agree." ?”

"..." Ke Qi suddenly felt a sense of guilt towards the emperor, he seemed to have developed some incredible function in Li Xu.

When Ke Qi and Xie Jinhua returned to their yard, Xie Jinhua suddenly suppressed the smile on his face and said, "I thought you were just having a good time with the second son... but I didn't expect that you would chat so deeply! "We're all trying to find a way to cheat the emperor, this topic is already very dangerous!

Ke Qi touched his nose, and said with some guilt: "It's, is it okay?"

"You... want to participate in the royal affairs?" Xie Jinhua frowned and asked.

Ke Qi shook his head and said, "I don't know...how long will I live, how dare I stand in line." He pointed up with a finger to the sky.

Xie Jinhua was silent for a long time before saying: "It will take another 20 years."

20 years? !The prince is almost 35 now, and the eldest prince is 20!If the emperor lives another 50 years, when he dies, the eldest prince will be [-] to [-] years old.The average life expectancy at this time is really not high, maybe the three older princes will be boiled to death at that time.

"How do you know?" Ke Qi asked.

Xie Jinhua did not speak.He certainly can't tell the story of his previous life, and if he makes up a story temporarily, the more he tells, the more likely Ke Qi will find a flaw.Therefore, he might as well keep silent and let Ke Qi come up with a reasonable answer.

Ke Qi really had some imagination.Although the emperor's pulse case is kept secret, maybe the Xie family has a channel to read the emperor's pulse case?He didn't believe in the data of "20 years", but he believed that the emperor's body must be very healthy at this time, and he would not die in the next few years.

The emperor is not dead, but the little princes are about to grow up, and it will definitely become very lively in the future.

"This kind of thing... You don't want to get involved in this kind of thing." Xie Jinhua said sincerely.

Ke Qi shook his head: "If I want to enter the officialdom, unless I don't want to go further, I will definitely be involved in the situation. Loyalty to the emperor is the safest. But only like Lord Hou, he already has Only with confidence can I confidently show that I have always been loyal to the emperor. And when I first enter the officialdom in the future, I must start from a small official, if someone comes to win me over at this time... I am in the middle of the game, I am afraid that I will not be able to help myself."

Ke Qi used Xie Jinhua's father as an example.

Therefore, Ke Qi chose to make friends with Li Xu.The king of Dejun didn't have the desire to take over his heir - or even if he did, but now everyone believed that he didn't, which was very powerful - so when he made good friends with the palace of Dejun, he could show that he was only loyal to the emperor.And Li Xu is really a good person.Even though he is young, he has all the senses he should have.Children are raised by their parents, from which we can also see the wisdom of the King and Princess of Dejun.

Xie Jinhua was silent for a while.

Ke Qi continued to think about the "20 years" in his heart.

Xie Jinhua sighed, and said: "You never thought about it, maybe I can protect you?" Although he is a concubine of the Hou family, as long as the Qingyang Hou Mansion does not fall, he is also a concubine. Facial.Ke Qi can try to trust him a little more, and rely on him a little more.

Ke Qi's heart skipped a beat.He always felt that he seemed to hear a kind of... grievance in Xie Jinhua's words.

From Ke Qi's point of view, Xie Jinhua should be well protected and free from dust.His hustle and bustle might kill him.

Ke Qi is very grateful for Xie Jinhua's kindness, but at this moment, he can only tell the truth and seriously: "I... I have always known that our marriage is just a stopgap measure, and we will always divorce in the future. At that time, if I am really in a whirlpool, how can I bring you into it?"

Regarding the point of reconciliation, in fact, the two sides have a tacit understanding, but this is the first time that the window paper has been pierced.Ke Qi felt that Xie Jinhua, as a Hou Menzi, would renew his marriage with Wang Heng and Yu when he recovered.Xie Jinhua felt that Ke Qi had ambition and would choose to leave sooner or later.

The two fell silent in unison.

Ke Qi couldn't help thinking in his heart, he didn't refute, so I guessed it right, he should still be friends in the future.

Xie Jinhua thought in his heart, he had known that he would leave, and he guessed it right, but now he just made his words clear.

The two had never been involved in love before, and the benefits were revealed at this time, and they didn't feel embarrassed at all when "talking about breaking up".Ke Qi took the lead in saying: "You regard me as a good friend, and I will naturally treat you as a good friend. No matter what the future holds, I will always think of you in my heart."

Xie Jinhua breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "It should be so." After reconciling and leaving, it's not like they are strangers.

That's right, although there are men who form bonds with men in the world, there are very few men who naturally like men. Only friendship can last forever!

It's just that if you don't like men, you will like women...

At this moment, Ke Qi and Xie Jinhua tacitly thought of the two maids that Mrs. Zhang sent to her.

At this time, it is very common for the young master to sleep in the same room when he is old, just like eating and drinking.Ke Qi couldn't use modern thinking to popularize Xie Jinhua's science. He was thinking about Xie Jinhua's body, and Xie Jinhua didn't want Ke Qi to lose his ambition in the gentle township, so he made up his mind in his heart——Sure enough, the two of them should sleep together at night, right?As long as the other party doesn't say anything, then absolutely don't offer to sleep in separate beds!

In this way, there is no way for any housekeeper or girl to enter!After all, according to what they know about each other, neither of them is the kind of person who would choose to prostitute themselves in the daytime.So just keep an eye on the time of night.They don't share the beds, but the quilts are still separate.

Both Ke Qi and Xie Jinhua were guilty of not looking into each other's eyes.

--------

"We're all about to get divorced, and it's okay to sleep together, it's just sleeping between bosom friends."

"That's right, innocence is at ease."
