Human beings are very contradictory. When you are afraid, etiquette and music are the way, but when you are despised, etiquette and music are bullshit.

Sacrifice is a part of ritual.

In the daily relationship between the monarch and his ministers, Situ Yue has never shown any weakness. She has been on the throne for half a year, and she has shown various appearances of not listening to advice, and she is also very independent, and some of her ideas are unexpected. .There are various ways to manipulate those disobedient courtiers.Compared with the selfish emperor, she was absolutely selfless. Compared with the emperor who was wise in his early years and longed for peace in his later years, Situ Yue is definitely not a king who can respect the virtuous and corporal, and is willing to get along with his ministers. Situ became more and more afraid.

On the night of New Year's Eve, even though the chariot carrying the sick emperor had just entered the palace, the members of the clan who had been waiting for a long time did not dare to rush, all the young and old were waiting in the cold wind, and even Situ Yue's uncles were all quiet Such as chickens, not to mention those clans that are farther away.As night fell, the surrounding wind whimpered. The emperor brought Situ Yue and Cheng Yue, followed by two younger generations, into the ancestral temple together.Situ Yue changed into a uniform with twelve chapter patterns, a crown on his head, and his face was flushed.Prompted by the etiquette officials, they burned incense and sacrificed wine, and went through the process with difficulty.

According to the practice of previous years, the juniors had to go to the Chongzheng Hall to sit for a while to flatter them, and they had the right to pay New Year's greetings.But this year Situ was clearly sick, so he comforted everyone, got into the sedan chair, and was carried back to Chongzheng Hall.

Because of the need to watch the year, and because Situ Yue didn't eat much along the way, Empress Zhao took Qiao Qiao to wait for her in the bedroom.Situ Yue fell directly on the bed, breathing heavily, seeing Zhu Dan throwing off his big clothes and shoes and crawling onto the bed to nest in her arms, he said unhappily, "Son, go aside, don't let the father get sick for you."

Zhu Dan didn't move.No one dared to pull him down, among those who could reprimand Zhu Dan, Queen Zhao went to the side hall, where there was a small stove with Situ Yue's medicine boiled on it.

After a while, Empress Zhao brought someone over with medicine. Situ Yue touched the medicine bowl and drank it in one gulp.

Empress Zhao cried out emotionally. The bitter taste in Situ Yue's mouth at this moment made him want to die.Not in the mood to comfort her, Qiao Qiao could only persuade her, "Mother, don't be like this. Today is New Year's Eve. Besides, the father is also ill, like last year, so it's really worrying."

Empress Zhao cried even worse, so Situ Yue had no choice but to say to her, "I'm hungry, how long have you been crying?"

On the second day of the court meeting, Situ Yue sat on the dragon chair and fell asleep, and the eunuch yelled the whole time, and everyone kowtowed under His Majesty Dan, maybe they didn't see Situ Yue falling asleep on his side, or maybe I saw it, but I didn't dare to say it.After everyone retreated, Situ Yue was pushed awake by Cheng Ju, and seeing the empty hall, he felt that he was simply a fool.

In the evening, the royal family held a family banquet. Since the emperor was still alive, the banquet was held in Xiyuan.The emperor sat upright and was very happy to see the many descendants below him. He toasted frequently during the banquet. Situ Yue's cup was filled with boiling water and he was also willing to join in.When the cold came, everyone gathered around the fox fur and looked at the cold dishes on the table with their hands on the stove, and their interest in talking suddenly increased.

People in the royal family always think about their words three times before they speak. On such occasions, court affairs cannot be discussed. Firstly, they are not respectful enough, and secondly, not everyone can hear the court affairs.You can't talk about brothers. Although they are from the same father, many of you here are not born to the same mother. They are naturally disliked by other brothers, and there will be gaps when talking. , provoking the emperor's fury, no one can take care of it.Then, it is even more impossible to talk about Fengyue. On this occasion, the juniors below are all standing, some of them are still ignorant. It would be too impolite to talk about Fengyue in front of their children and grandchildren.

In this case, learning is the best choice.

However, the actual situation is that there are very few academic masters and many scumbags among the people present, such as the current Patriarch Situ Yue, she is famous for not studying, and the uncles of the kings once laughed at her for not being able to write articles. It's a ghostwriter.When the wine order was being enforced just now, Situ Yue was very shameless and said he would not do it anymore. If Zi Yue Shiyun goes on, the emperor's face may not be upheld.

Situ Yue didn't have this kind of thought. Anyway, there are many people who want to be my gunners. When the wine order was enforced just now, she found a few cousins ​​eager to try and recommend themselves.

Now, I can't even talk about the safest topic, what should I do?The kings looked at each other and decided to learn from the princesses in the school.

"Congratulations, father. I heard that the second son of the fourth brother's family got a son a few days ago. It's really gratifying. Our family has another thousand-mile horse." The nine kings came out first.

The emperor stroked his beard with a smile. "Extremely extreme, having a baby is always a happy event." The wrinkles on his face smiled sincerely.

Everyone took a look, the old man loved to listen, and he didn't want to do the emperor's business, so they all shook up their spirits and prepared to gossip about their children and grandchildren.

This kind of unhealthy trend started like this. At first, each of them praised their own children, but the thirteenth king and the fourteenth king are still two bachelors now.

Talking and talking about Fuyuan, Fuyuan's current status is embarrassing, his father is a prince, but the emperor has a son.People in the clan didn't dare to talk too much about it, so they skipped over it indiscriminately, and only said good boy and so on.

Situ Yue looked at Fuyuan standing behind Chengyue, "Naturally he is a good boy, all the children in our family are good boys. Fuyuan is also grown up, it's time to talk about a daughter-in-law. If you brothers know which lady is It can be regarded as a good match..."

Everyone started booing.

Situ Yue turned his head and said to Fu Yuan, "Now you have grown up so much. I think when you were just born, your father and king brought you to see me. You were just a little bit old. Now it's time to find a wife. The daughter-in-law gave birth to a big fat boy, and then she went out of the school to receive an errand, and then she is considered an adult, and only then is she married and established a career."

The emperor is also quite pleased.Cheng Yue naturally understood the meaning of Situ Yue's words, and his eyes were slightly moist. Sitting next to Situ Yue, he groped for Situ Yue's hand and held it firmly. Situ Yue patted the back of his hand lightly. .Fu Yuan was behind them and immediately bowed down to thank Situ Yue.

Zhu Dan was so sleepy that he opened his mouth wide and yawned.With his eyes closed, he touched Situ Yue's arms and was about to fall asleep.

As soon as the topic changed, one of Situ Yue's cousins ​​asked, "Brother Huang's eldest daughter, Princess Xunhe, is in her prime now. Does Brother Huang have a candidate for the east bed?"

When Zhu Dan heard "Princess Xihe", he quickly raised his head. After hearing this, he asked incomprehensibly, "What is the candidate for the east bed? Is it necessary to choose someone for the east bed?"

Everyone laughed, Situ Yue wanted to die, and we couldn't take off the hat of being illiterate.

"East bed, it's the son-in-law. Do you know the son-in-law? It's your sister's husband."

Zhu Dan lost sleepiness in an instant, "Who said that my sister is looking for a husband, my sister belongs to our family, and she is not looking for a husband."

The fourth king wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said with a smile, "Silly boy, girls always want to marry. Your sister will belong to someone else's family sooner or later. When the time comes, bring your little nephew back and call your uncle. But , Your Majesty, it's time to choose earlier, nowadays in honorable families, there are few promising boys, and Yingwei's are even rarer.

The five kings also picked up the topic, "We only have one girl in our family, and we also want to find a good husband's family for her. I want a kind mother-in-law, and I also want to find a boy who is good. , now, life is just like this, with thousands of choices, half bitter and sweet."

The emperor even brought back the scars in his heart.Concubine Zhao Ling is dead, and the people of the Zhao family are all dead outside, but the child born to the eldest princess is also from the blood of the Zhao family, and the emperor is not happy. Unwilling to take a step, the one who feels distressed is still his father.

Zhu Dan still knew a little bit of the rules, so he didn't make a fuss in front of everyone. When he returned to Chongzheng Hall, he pouted and complained to Queen Zhao, "I don't want my sister to marry. If my sister gets married, What should I do if someone bullies her, she is faceless and stupid..."

Empress Zhao hugged him and rubbed him for a long time, she was very rare, "Girls always want to marry, in the future, if his husband treats her badly, I will count on you to vent her anger for her."

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, people from Empress Zhao's natal family entered the palace to pay her respects. This time, it was Empress Zhao's grandparents who entered the palace with her uncle Zhao Xing. Grandma hinted several times that after lunch, Situ Yue asked the guards to send away the grandparents and grandchildren.

"Hey, I just want to let my uncles and uncles come to Beijing." Empress Zhao changed out of the big clothes she had when she saw the guests, and put on the casual home clothes, and leaned on the kang. Can't stop.Situ Yue sat on the edge, covered her with a quilt, and watched her fall asleep before going to Chongzheng Hall.

Mrs. Qin has entered the palace.

"This is the fruit from the tree in the old house. It has been dried into dried persimmons. I thought you would like to eat them, so I brought them here." Mrs. Qin poured out the persimmons from the white cotton bag, and Cheng Ju served them on a white porcelain plate. , brought it to Situ Yue.

"Well, it still tastes the same. Seriously, I haven't eaten persimmons for several years." Situ Yue finished eating a plate of persimmons, put down the plate, and asked casually, "Do you remember before Ke'er got married?" ? The Ningguo Mansion came to ask for Geng Tie."

"Remember, why don't you remember, it was also in the old house. After so many years, how do you remember this?"

"It's nothing, just thinking back to the beginning."

Situ Yue pinched the persimmon cake and recalled the events of the past ten years. At first, she just didn't want to get married, and she didn't want to become a housewife busy in the backyard, so she just wanted to break free.Therefore, in order to muddy the muddy waters of the kings seizing their heirs, she became the king of Rongjun.

After becoming the king of the county, she felt that she could not do nothing, and be different from those clan children who ate and waited to die every day. She tried her best to do things in the court, heard rumors, and was stirred into the vortex of verbal wars several times.Was assassinated, was rescued.

At the beginning, she didn't want to be a county king, and she didn't want to be an emperor.However, she is not willing to be mediocre. Since ancient times, there have been so many mediocre emperors and quite a few talented ones. However, she just doesn't want to be an emperor who has lost all the emperors.

Ambitious and independent, this is the greatest wealth left to her in her previous life.

"Think again, where are the gentlemen of Ningguo Mansion now?" Situ Yue concealed the violent fluctuations in his heart, changed the topic, and took a bite of persimmon.

"I heard it's on the way to exile." Mrs. Qin sat opposite Situ Yue, and pushed the water glass in front of Situ Yue. She was old now, her arms were weak, and she was shaking unconsciously. "The female family members of Ningguo Mansion are with the wives of Rongguo Mansion, and the glory and wealth are no longer there. They work all day, just like women in the market."

Situ became more and more interested, "How do you say that? In the Rongguo Mansion, Marquis Jia En has some spare money. Although it is not as good as before, it is still possible to live on a daily basis."

"You know one thing, but you don't know the other thing. The former second grandmother of their family, Mrs. Wang, is gone, and she helped a concubine to become a grandmother. The previous one left a son and a daughter, and the girl married a peasant family. , son, is crying day and night. For this reason, the grandpa of the Jia family felt sorry for his grandson, so he took his old servants to guard his grandson's coffin and returned home. They have been on the road for years. It's all up to the second master Lian to take care of the family, but he was also a son-in-law back then, and now he can't bend down to support the family. A few days ago, the old lady of their family disappeared. Before leaving, he divided up his private house In the blink of an eye, Zhen, the second grandmother of Bao, bought a small yard, and the new second grandmother Lian immediately ran out of their family. As soon as the old lady on this side closed her eyes, there was a commotion on the other side. Separation, in the end, it was the Lin family that sent Jia Taijun off for the last time."

"What about Jia Baoyu? Born with jade, Jia Taijun has always regarded him as the one who will prosper the Jia family in the future. What about now?"

"I'm studying hard at home, preparing for Enke in the coming year, thinking about jumping into the dragon's gate with this."

Situ Yue was just smiling, how many people have spent their whole lives and never went to the Golden Luan Hall to take part in the palace examination, even if Jia Baoyu had very spiritual energy.In the past, the selection of scholars by the imperial examination was based on the talent of writing, but now, Situ Yue pays more attention to pragmatism.

As for Jia Baoyu, he really doesn't know crops, doesn't know water conservancy, and doesn't know how to appease the people and act as herdsmen for the Son of Heaven.

Perhaps, he can take on the research and development of a cosmetics store...
