Jinyiwei factory flower base love story

Although Duan Mingchen lowered his head, he could feel Xiao Jing's scrutinizing gaze, and suddenly felt a glow on his back.The name of King An made his heart shrink. Whether he admits it or not, King An is his biological father after all. So what is the purpose of Xiao Jing calling him here to ask this question?Is it to test your loyalty, or suspect that you are colluding in rebellion?

Duan Mingchen felt chills in his heart. King An was already buried in the underground palace of Wenxiang Island even though he was wronged. Even his eldest son Xiao Jue died under Gu Huaiqing's gunshots. Princess An also died of illness in Suzhou not long ago. King An Even if he deliberately rebelled before his death, the dragons have no leader at this time, and there is no way to stir up trouble.However, should the emperor stop there, or should he eradicate himself, including himself?

In terms of blood relationship, Xiao Jing is still his cousin, but the royal family doesn't have any kinship at all, not to mention that he is just the illegitimate son of King An who has never had a bright face, and the forces of King An will not recognize him as the master.

In any case, I have a clear conscience. I have never turned to King An, nor have I ever betrayed the court. Even my mother sacrificed her life for it.

Thinking of this, Duan Mingchen's heart calmed down. He raised his head, looked at Xiao Jing calmly, and said, "King An is a traitor, intending to rebel. His crime is unforgivable. He has already been executed. This is his own fault and he deserves it!"

Xiao Jing looked at Duan Mingchen steadfastly, and said with a meaningful smile: "Duan Qing, there is no need to be nervous. You are capable, resourceful, and loyal. You can show the sun and the moon. I already knew the inside story of the Wenxiang Island battle. Well done, I was not disappointed."

"The emperor's praise, that's the duty of the minister." Duan Mingchen hurriedly said humbly, but was secretly shocked in his heart.

There is something in the emperor's words, clearly hinting at himself, right?Sure enough, Xiao Jing already knew his true life experience, so the emperor was actually testing and testing himself in the battle at Wenxiang Island. Fortunately, he did not do anything harmful to the court, otherwise... Duan Mingchen thought, his vest leaked I broke out in a cold sweat.

"Don't worry, I see your loyalty, and I will never treat loyal ministers badly." Xiao Jing patted Duan Mingchen on the shoulder, "Duan Qing is a rare talent, if Ding You can't serve the country for three years, It is really Daqi's loss. After careful consideration, I have decided to recover from today's situation. Aiqing doesn't have to resign, she can work in plain clothes and continue to serve in Jinyiwei."

Duan Mingchen was shocked: "Your Majesty, this is not filial piety!"

"I know that Duan Qing is a filial son, seizing love is not in line with filial piety, but there is a country first and then a family, and state affairs are more important than family affairs. Duan Qing must agree with this point?"

Duan Mingchen had no choice but to nod in agreement, but he still said: "Your Majesty has many important ministers and good generals around him, so why do you have to use humble ministers to win over your feelings? I'm afraid you will be impeached by the imperial censor at that time."

"Those censors, what decision do I make, they don't object or impeach? If everything is done according to their wishes, nothing can be done!" Xiao Jing waved his sleeves and said displeasedly, "Duan Qing doesn't need to worry, the censor's side Let me settle things down. I will also issue an imperial edict to make Lingtang a first-rank wife, Lingtang is a rare and wonderful woman in the world, and she deserves such a title."

Duan Mingchen couldn't help the red eyes, and sincerely knelt down and said: "On behalf of my mother, I thank Your Majesty Long En!"

It has to be said that Xiao Jing is well versed in the way of the emperor, and knows what Duan Mingchen values ​​most, so he succeeded in comforting Duan Mingchen by giving Mrs. Duan a posthumous title. In the end, he issued another imperial decree: "Although King An is dead, There are still many remnants of rebellion. Recently, there has been news from Pingcheng that the rebels of King An have incited the followers of the White Lotus Sect to rebel. I have sent General Feng Kun to lead the army to quell the rebellion, but it seems that the progress is not going well. I want Duan Qing to lead a team of Jin Yiwei to Pingcheng to assist General Feng to put down the chaos."

Duan Mingchen said: "I would like to obey His Majesty's will!"

Xiao Jing nodded in satisfaction: "It's not too late, you gather your troops and set off immediately."

Duan Mingchen was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and immediately knelt down respectfully to thank him for accepting the order.

Although Pingcheng was not very far from the capital, it was still hundreds of miles away. Going to Pingcheng for business meant that he would not be able to return to the capital until the rebellion was over.He and Gu Huaiqing had just resolved their misunderstanding and reconciled as before, but they were facing separation in a blink of an eye.

But what can Duan Mingchen say?The king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die, let alone just sending you out on an errand?

Xiao Jing has treated him very leniently, not only did not pursue his life, but also gave him a heavy responsibility.Although Xiao Jing is a young king, but with his open mind and unsuspecting attitude, in time, maybe he will become a generation of wise kings that will go down in history, right?

The imperial decree ordered him to leave immediately, Duan Mingchen naturally did not dare to delay.Coming out of Xuande Hall, he went directly to Fusi of Jinyiwei North Town, and at the same time sent someone home to ask Taozhi to help him pack his bags, and then led a dozen Jinyiwei on horseback to Pingcheng.

Xiao Jing's order was issued suddenly, and Gu Huaiqing had to work in the palace again during the day, Duan Mingchen didn't even have time to say goodbye to Gu Huaiqing face to face, so he had to write a letter hastily and asked the housekeeper of the Gu family to forward it to Gu Huaiqing, in which he confessed that he had been robbed by the emperor, Sent to Pingcheng to do business, so that Gu Huaiqing doesn't have to worry.

When Duan Mingchen left the capital, Gu Huaiqing was busy in the palace with matters concerning the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Party.

Logically speaking, this job shouldn't have fallen on him.The Chrysanthemum Appreciation Fair is a traditional grand event of the Daqi court. It is held every autumn. Although it is called Chrysanthemum Appreciation, the flowers on display are not limited to chrysanthemums, and theater troupes, singing and dancing are also invited to add to the fun.

According to the usual practice, it should be presided over by the empress, the lord of the central palace.However, Xiao Jing's empress was not only unfavored, but also had been lingering and ill all year round. She just played a false name and basically ignored things.

Last year's Chrysanthemum Appreciation Party was presided over by Concubine Ning, and it was well organized, which satisfied the Queen Mother and the Emperor. It was supposed to be organized by Concubine Ning this year, but she was actually pregnant at this juncture.

Concubine Ning was pregnant with the hope of becoming Xiao Jing's eldest son or eldest daughter, the whole palace was very nervous, who dared to make the concubine work hard, if she lost a dragon fetus, it would be a bad thing.

Not long after Xiao Jing ascended the throne, there were not many concubines in the harem.When he was the crown prince, Xiao Jing first married the main concubine Zhang, and later took in two side concubines. However, the two side concubines suffered from illness and died one after another.

Now, apart from the empress and concubine Ning, his harem includes the five concubines who were drafted into the palace last year, and there are even lower-level talents who change clothes, all of whom are court ladies who have been favored occasionally.Regardless of seniority or level, these people are not enough to take on heavy responsibilities.

The queen mother eats vegetarian food and recites Buddhism all the year round, and has been ignoring it for a long time, not to mention that the emperor can't make the queen mother work hard, so finally Xiao Jing had to hand over the errand to Dongchang, but Wan Zhen, the governor of Dongchang, didn't understand this kind of party with flowers and plants, so This errand fell on Gu Huaiqing.

How can the women in the harem be easy to deal with?Gu Huaiqing expressed his headache.

The Empress Dowager loves viewing flowers very much, and also attaches great importance to the annual chrysanthemum viewing party. If this job is done well, it may not be of any benefit, but if something goes wrong, it will definitely not escape punishment.

The Empress Dowager appears to be ignorant, but she is actually the most powerful woman in the harem. When she was an empress, the Empress Dowager was a meticulous person who paid attention to details. For such a master, she must never act with a foolish mentality.

Gu Huaiqing knew the power of it, and he didn't dare to neglect it at all. He tried his best to consider every detail carefully, so as not to cause any trouble.

The venue for the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Party was held in the Imperial Garden. Gu Huaiqing led a group of eunuchs and maids to arrange the venue in advance, planning the location of each pot of flowers in advance.Although the flowers in the palace are rare treasures in the world, how to arrange and match them to produce the most beautiful picture is very particular.

However, the imperial garden is always very lively, except for Gu Huaiqing and his group who are busy arranging the chrysanthemum viewing party, there are also beauties in palace costumes who are busy visiting the garden to enjoy the scenery.

No, there are two beauties walking slowly in the distance.The beauty on the left is wearing a crow-blue peony-patterned long jacket and a green satin skirt, with a clear face and a slender figure, exuding a quiet and bookish aura, she is Zhuang's concubine Shen Yijun.

The beauty on the right is wearing a cherry pink cross-collared short jacket with woven golden cloud shoulders on the chest, back, shoulders and sleeves, and a white silk skirt with lotus branches underneath. It is Feng Xiaoluan, the concubine Li. Holding a petite brown poodle in his arms.

Concubine Zhuang and Concubine Li walked over talking and laughing, they seemed to have a very harmonious relationship, one of them was as light as an autumn moon, and the other was as delicate as a spring flower, even though Gu Huaiqing didn't have any preference for women, but looking at such a beautiful woman in the world, It's enough to be pleasing to the eye and the mood.

Gu Huaiqing led the palace servants to greet the two young masters. Concubine Zhuang and Concubine Li knew Gu Huaiqing's importance in front of the emperor, and they treated him very politely.

Concubine Zhuang said gently: "Your Majesty, there is no need to be too polite."

Concubine Li asked curiously: "Master Gu is preparing for the chrysanthemum appreciation party in the future?"

Gu Huaiqing nodded: "Exactly."

Concubine Li smiled sweetly and said, "Master Gu has worked hard. I heard that there will be many rare rare flowers on display this year. We are all looking forward to it."

Concubine Li was born delicate and beautiful, but her smile was even more charming and radiant, which made people dare not look at her closely.

Gu Huaiqing subconsciously staggered his eyes to avoid Li Pin's extremely lethal smile, feeling a little puzzled in his heart.

The six concubines drafted into the palace last year, although each had its own characteristics, but purely in terms of appearance, Concubine Li was the best, even better than Concubine Ning, and Li Concubine's character was also pleasing, neither like Concubine Ning The imperial concubine is so domineering and domineering, and she is not as high-minded as the talented concubine Zhuang. It stands to reason that she should be very favored.However, for some reason, this Concubine Li is not very outstanding in the palace. Although she is not unfavored, she is not very favored either.

But such a thought is fleeting, after all, who Xiao Jing likes and dotes on has nothing to do with him, so don't worry about eating carrots.

Gu Huaiqing said humbly: "It is a humble honor to be able to share the worries of the ladies. I should do my best to try not to let the ladies down."

Concubine Li covered her mouth with a smile and said, "With Mr. Gu here, there must be no problem."

As if echoing the owner's words, the puppy in her arms also barked twice. The puppy was less than a foot long, with two round black eyes and fluffy brown curly hair all over its body. It looked naive. , very cute.

Gu Huaiqing couldn't help but look at it twice, and praised: "Your Majesty's dog is so cute."

Concubine Li laughed happily, rubbed the head of the puppy in her arms, and said: "It's called Longan, it's only half a year old, it's a tribute from Fanbang, I like it, so I'm coming to raise it."

Concubine Zhuang joked: "Look at how distressed you are, you almost raised him like a son."

"So what? Longan'er is smart, she can also juggle."

As if afraid that everyone would not believe it, Li Pin put the longan on the ground, and then began to give orders.

"Get down!"

Longan'er just lay down obediently.

"Walk!"

The longan was on all fours and rolled on the ground.

"stand up!"

Longaner immediately got up and sat down.

"Bye!"

Longan'er only stands on her hind feet, her two front paws are folded together, and her little tail is shaking behind her, which is both cute and funny.

All the people present were overwhelmed by Longaner's performance and applauded one after another.

Concubine Li touched Longan'er's head proudly, took out a few black lumps from her purse, which looked like dried meat, and fed them into Longan'er's mouth, Longan'er swallowed it immediately, and stuck out her tongue to lick it. He licked Lipin's palm.

At this moment, a piercing voice suddenly came: "Hmph, it's all about pet owners. Presumably Concubine Li won the favor with this servile appearance, right?"
