Come to extraordinary times

The Imperial Father's Guanghua Palace is heavily guarded. Of course, to me, it's like entering a land without people.

The emperor usually handles government affairs in the imperial study, and ministers will come to the imperial study for instructions when they have something to do.When I came here today, I heard the minister's voice outside the door, as if there were quite a few people inside.

"I have seen His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince." I came to the door of the imperial study room, before I could tell the guards to be silent, they knelt down on one knee and saluted me so quickly.

I had no choice but to wave my hand to get them up, and then I heard my father's voice, "Is Xiaoyi outside? Come in."

The guards opened the door respectfully, and I walked in.There were seven or eight ministers standing inside, all bent over slightly in unison, watching me come in.

I walked through the middle of them, walked to the side of the father, and sat down.Only then did the ministers come to their senses and respectfully said to me, "I see His Royal Highness the Seventh."

Then I remembered that I hadn't seen the ministers for a long time, maybe several years, and they had no chance to see me again.How old was I when you last saw me?In the palace, I don't have the habit of changing my appearance, so it's not surprising that they would stand there in a daze.

"Ministers, you're welcome, it's Xiaoyi who interrupted you." I said to them with a smile.

Father touched my head tenderly, "Okay, little six, bring a bowl of bird's nest porridge to His Royal Highness Seven, let's continue."

Little Sixth Uncle hurriedly gave orders, and after a while, the bird's nest porridge came up.I was sitting at the desk, enjoying the bird's nest porridge, stroking Xiaofei's smooth fur with one hand, while listening to what my father and the others were discussing.

"Your Majesty, it's the rainy season these few months. The Tiandu River, the mother river of the Qingtian Empire, has been flooded in recent months. Tens of thousands of people have been killed or injured along the river, especially in Xuyu City along the river. It has been very difficult recently, and the old minister implores His Majesty to provide funds for disaster relief." An old minister took a step forward and said with a bow.

"I've heard of this before," Father nodded. The treasury can allocate 10 gold coins for disaster relief, but which courtier does Aiqing Hara think is suitable to take over the task of the imperial envoy? "

"The veteran thinks that Nangong and Xiang Leizuo are qualified for this mission." The veteran Hara proposed a candidate.

"Your Majesty, I think you can let the eldest prince try it." A minister came up from the side. I know this person. He is the right prime minister, Mr. Aksu.

"Well." Father thought for a while, "This is an opportunity to practice, but the eldest prince lacks experience, and it is impossible to be competent alone. How about this, let Nangong Aiqing take the lead, and the eldest prince is the deputy, and go to Xuyu together?" The city distributes disaster relief funds.”

"Your Majesty is holy!" The ministers knelt down and shouted together.

I leisurely sipped my bird's nest porridge, thinking that it's a pity that Brother Dahuang is not here, if he is here, I must be so excited, alas, going to disaster relief, wouldn't it be fun?But the flood happened there, the homeless people are quite pitiful, so I don't want to think about it.

Later, some ministers discussed some important matters with the emperor. Among them was a prisoner who lost his sentence. He seemed to say that it was because the lady in the family fell in love with him, but the family objected, so he killed the whole family and reported it to the first level. Come on, my father asked Dali Temple to examine this case some time ago, and this time the report was true, so my father approved a 'cutting decision' with his imperial pen. Such a bad incident will not be tolerated.

By the time my father and the others finished bargaining, my bird's nest porridge had already been finished, and the ginseng tea served to me by Uncle Liu was cold several times. I asked Uncle Liu to warm it up for me, and drank half a bowl by myself Feed the rest to Xiaofei, and felt a little sleepy, so he half-lyed on his father's lap and fell asleep.

"Xiaoyi, we're going back." Hearing Father's voice whispering in my ear, and Father's warm big hands stroking my face, I opened my eyes in a daze, and saw Father zooming in. His face was in front of me. Seeing that I was awake, he lowered his head and kissed my eyelids, then hugged me horizontally under the fox fur covering me. eyes.

Father laughed softly, lowered his head and kissed my forehead, said "little lazy pig", and carried me back to Jingde Palace.

The palace had already prepared the meal, and I woke up after watching my father feed me a mouthful of lemonade and rinse my mouth.

Hey, where's Xiao Fei?I turned my head, only to find that the little lazy leopard who was sleeping just now was eating meat under the service of Xiao Guizi.

"Father, are you going to call the eldest brother to help the disaster?" I remembered the discussion between Father and the courtiers just now.

"Yeah, your elder brother is not too young, you can share some of the father's burden." The father took a sip of the soup and looked up at me.

"That's true," I nodded. "However, places where disasters occur are always chaotic. Brother Dahuang has no experience. Father should be more concerned about safety. It's best to send a few more people to protect him."

"What Xiaoyi said is true." The emperor agreed with me, "Feng'er has done a good job in letting your elder brother participate in politics recently, and the calls for him to be crowned prince have grown a lot recently."

"If Brother Da Huang does well, it would be a good choice." I thought for a while, recalling Brother Da Huang, I thought it was not bad.

"Now the only heir to the throne is your eldest brother, you and Xiao Liu. Your voice is the highest, but we all understand that this is not what you want. After all, Xiao Liu is still young, only Feng'er is the most suitable for the crown prince. Candidates. Feng'er is almost 19 years old now, and the ministers of the old school hope to establish a crown prince as soon as possible. I don't care, but thinking of..."

"What did the father think?" I heard the father hesitated.

"Actually, when it comes to candidates for the crown prince, except you, Xiao Liu might be more suitable." Father said.

"Then wait until the sixth brother grows up before establishing a crown prince." I said indifferently, "Father is only in his 40s now. Speaking of which, heirs from other countries don't inherit beyond this age. Why is Father so anxious?"

"Xiao Yi, you may have to go to practice in a year or two." Father looked down at my eyes, with a light that I couldn't understand, "I don't worry about you, baby, I want to go with you , I don't want you to wander outside alone."

"Father..." I couldn't help but was stunned. I never thought of letting Father put down his throne and his great career to accompany me to practice. Although this is something I very much desire, I never dared I mentioned it to my father, and I didn't even dare to reveal my meaning, but my father himself had this thought. For a moment, I felt my heart warm, as if being enriched by something.No wonder, no wonder the father is so eager to train the eldest brother to be able to handle government affairs and take charge of his own affairs. It turned out that it was for...

"Baby." Father hugged me and rubbed his cheek against my face, "I'm afraid you'll forget Father after a long time in training."

"How is it possible?" I hurriedly raised my head to express my feelings.

"Hehe," Father looked at me with a silly look, "The outside world is too exciting, and there are too many temptations. Is it true that Xiao Yi will not forget the way home?"

"No!" I said firmly.

"Then father is also reluctant to leave Xiaoyi for a day." Father said cheerfully.

"Hehe..." I also laughed, since the royal father has made a decision, and it was what I was looking forward to, so what can I say?Is it possible to persuade him not to go with me?I'm not that stupid.I believe my father will handle it well, this is not something I need to worry about.

When my father and I were having sex with each other, a very disconcerting voice came in, "Your Majesty, Concubine Poluo is asking to see you."

Hey, Concubine Poluo, isn't that the mother and concubine of the fourth brother?She came from the Ama Empire to marry her. She is a very measured woman who never competes for favor. After giving birth to the fourth brother, she is satisfied. In addition, the fourth brother has no prince totem. She is the most carefree person Why did you suddenly come to Jingde Palace to ask for an interview?Ever since I was favored to live in Jingde Palace, Jingde Palace is a place where even the concubine mother and concubine Xiao dare not set foot easily.

Father and I looked at each other, "Let her in." Father said, still holding me in his arms, let me sit on his lap, and fed me dinner.

"Your Majesty, I beg you to be the master for my concubine." Concubine Po Luo brought two maids, and she knelt on the ground as soon as she entered, pleading with tears.

"Concubine Poluo, just tell me if you have anything to say." The royal father glanced at her and frowned, as if he guessed that what happened was serious.

"Your Majesty, Ji'er hasn't been feeling well these days. I asked him not to go to the academy for the time being. I will raise him in the palace and take him back to the concubine's palace to take care of him. But he suddenly fell into a coma from the morning. The concubine called the imperial doctor, but she couldn't diagnose the disease. The concubine's maid Xiaozhen went to the imperial dining room today to ask the imperial chef to cook some liquid food, but when she passed the imperial garden, she found a court lady sneaking to the concubine. Xiaozhen followed her secretly and found that she had sneaked into Jier's room, took the hair that Jier had fallen out, and returned to Concubine Xiao's palace."

oh?Concubine Xiao, this matter is complicated.

"Xiaozhen doesn't know martial arts. When my concubine heard about this, she asked a guard to visit Concubine Xiao's palace secretly, and found..."

"What did you find?" Father's face was a little cold.

"I found that Concubine Xiao was holding a puppet in her hand, and she was using a needle to pierce the puppet's heart." Concubine Po Luo hated her extremely, and she stated with great resentment, "And the maid who stole Ji'er's hair Standing next to Concubine Xiao. Your Majesty, Concubine Xiao must have made a move, which caused Ji'er to fall into a coma, and his life and death are uncertain. I beg Your Majesty to make the decision, save Ji'er!"

Brother Four?I stood up abruptly, this is a serious matter, the use of this kind of witchcraft is the most taboo in the palace, Brother Fourth, don't know what to do now?

"Is what Concubine Po Luo said true?" Father's face was as cold as ice.

"The concubine dare not say anything false. Xiaozhen and the guards are waiting outside." Concubine Po Luo said firmly with tears on her face.

"Come on, order me to go down, and immediately send a team of Imperial Guards to search Concubine Xiao's Palace." Father stood up and ordered.

"Yes." A guard led the order and went down.

"Let's go, let's go and see how Ji'er is doing." The emperor led me and walked out of the palace first, Concubine Po Luo hurriedly stood up and followed out.
