Better to live forever [Rebirth]

In the 22nd year of Zhenyuan, autumn.

After the results of the civil and military imperial examinations were announced, it was natural for some schools to be happy and others to be sad.

Just as Zhu Dingbei expected, Emperor Zhenyuan appointed Tian Yi to be the champion of martial arts, followed by Du Hui, and the two of them unanimously asked His Majesty to join the army in Liangzhou.Emperor Zhenyuan commended them for their family and country, loyalty and bravery, and ordered Zhongshu to express their favor and allow them to take the decree to Liangzhou to join the army.After that, he immediately ordered the next three to go to Ningzhou, Yizhou, and Qinzhou to serve the country.

Zhu Dingbei didn't pay much attention to the results of the imperial examinations. He didn't know that an invitation had been sent to his family, so he found out that the champion of the new examination was Su Yi, whom he had met once.

Old Hou Ye saw his grandson's complexion changed, so he asked a lot. Hearing that he is the grandson of Li Laogui from the household department, his expression suddenly looked like he swallowed a fly: "Is this kid not happy to find it?"

He had dealt with Li Tao from the household department for so many years, and the two cursed each other in private countless times. If those curses were really effective, both of them would have died several times as early as 800 years ago.His grandson is really interesting, he even handed over the post to their house, isn't that putting his face on their ears!

Zhu Dingbei didn't intend to accept the invitation, but thoughtfully said: "I didn't expect this little bastard to be really capable."

His perception of Su Yi was average, perhaps because of his background in a merchant family, that person seemed to have a friendly smile, but he still did not conceal his shrewdness and calculation.He also didn't hide his ulterior motives, maybe it was a kind of openness, but the fact that he was Li Tao's grandson was enough to make the Zhu family respect him.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is just two days after the national examination results are released.

This year, the Mid-Autumn Festival in Zhenbeihou Mansion was more lively than ever, not only the old lady's birthday and the double joy of the festival, but also a little birthday star.

The birthdays of Dajing's children before the age of ten are generally not very important, but Yue Yuan'er and the old lady's birthdays are on the same day, and the little uncle Zhu Dingbei loves her very much, so the old lady greeted her early and asked Celebrate your birthday with the little birthday star.

Ning Heng and the others came to pay their respects early this morning, and they also met Zhu Dingbei's blue-eyed little niece.

The little doll was very lovable in a red dress, with a smile on her plump white face, peeking at them in Zhu Dingbei's arms, and whispering intimately in Zhu Dingbei's ear from time to time.

Lou Anning said in surprise: "Changsheng, the little baby really looks like you."

"Naturally, my nephew, Uncle Xiao, doesn't look like me, does he, Yue Yuan'er?"

He tapped Yueyuan'er's cheek, and Xiaowaer seemed to hear that they were praising him for shyly buried in Zhu Dingbei's neck and giggled.

Qin Xi looked at it strangely: "Changsheng, you must have looked like this when you were young."

Zhu Dingbei: "..."

Nonsense!I think he, Young Marshal Zhu, was praised for being like a father since he was a child, he is a tough and dark little man!He didn't know how he had grown into such a bitch's chirping ghost after living in Luojing for a few days!

Ning Heng looked at the little baby imitating his uncle and glaring at Qin Xi. The two pairs of similar peach blossom eyes were indescribably cute. He raised his hand to touch the little girl's face, and the touch felt soft and tender. It's shocking.Zhu Dingbei slapped his hand away angrily, "I can only see but not touch." He snorted, and then rolled his eyes at several people: "Why do you guys become uncles? Today's birthday gift and meeting gift are all indispensable. , Take it out for me quickly."

In response, Ning Heng unfastened the Ruyi buckle on his body and handed it to the little girl. The emerald jade color and the moist water head were clear at first glance, it was not ordinary.The shape of the Ruyi buckle is similar to that of a copper plate, and the little girl just thought it was a copper coin. She immediately covered it with a smile, and whispered in Zhu Dingbei's ear, saying that she would save it for her uncle to buy delicious food. Zhu Dingbei laughed again and again, wishing to praise him.

Lou Anning and Qin Xizao couldn't help but circle around the little girl, Jia Jiaming said to Lou Ankang: "This child looks more like Changsheng when he smiles."

Lou Ankang also said: "No wonder Changsheng treats her like a jewel, she is really a likable little girl."

Because Ning Heng wanted to enter the palace to have lunch with the empress dowager, he couldn't stay long. Before leaving, he had another birthday greeting with the old lady, and was sent out of the mansion by Zhu Dingbei.

The little baby insisted on walking on the ground, but Zhu Dingbei didn't know why, and when the child fell to the ground, he happily grabbed his and Ning Heng's hands, and walked bouncing between them, then smiled and said: "No Thinking that you are quite popular with Yue Yuan'er, it must be the credit of that jade button, this little thing is quite smart."

Ning Heng looked at him: "She is very close to you."

"Of course."

Zhu Dingbei glanced at him, and the dimples on Ning Heng's cheeks were revealed, although he didn't say it, but his eyes were already saying: That's why I treat her with joy.

Children are the most sensitive, and Ning Heng treats her with gentleness and love, so she naturally likes her too.Zhu Dingbei patted him on the shoulder angrily, picked up the child, and hurriedly threw him onto the sedan chair and drove him away.

Yue Yuan'er kept turning her head to see that the sedan chair was gone, and then whispered to Zhu Dingbei, "Uncle, he looks good."

Zhu Dingbei raised his eyebrows, "Does Yue Yuan'er like him or uncle?"

Yue Yuan'er: "I like Uncle, and I like him too!" She didn't speak slowly, and after finishing speaking, she happily said: "Mother said that I can't marry Uncle, Yue Yuan'er wants to marry him, he is good-looking."

Zhu Dingbei's face darkened: "..."

他不觉得小孩子说出这样的话有什么不对，而是咬牙切齿地想到：这个要娶十八房小妾的混账玩意儿，胆敢勾他的月圆儿，真想现在就揪回来胖揍一顿!

At the mid-autumn palace banquet in the evening, because the emperor wanted to meet the young master of Zhenbeihou's mansion by name, the old master and the old lady brought Zhu Dingbei with them.Ning Heng came to look for him, and after being sized up by him for no reason, he sneered sinisterly, then grabbed his face, rubbed it left and right angrily, and looked at his innocent eyes even more out of fear.

"Oh, Lord Changxin is so handsome, no wonder he can always seduce ignorant girls, he is really amazing at such a young age!"

"Is it long... born?"

When the eunuch was summoned to find the grandson of the Marquis of Zhenbei, what he saw was this scene that broke his heart.

He quickly knelt down a few steps away, buried his head so low that he didn't dare to take a second look, and said in a respectful voice: "Your Majesty has spoken to the descendants of the Marquis of Zhenbei to see you."

It wasn't until Zhenbeihou's grandson led him to get up that he stood up with lingering fear, leading the way in fear and fear, not daring to turn back, thinking to himself: No wonder everyone says that Zhenbeihou's mansion is powerful, and this rankless grandson dares to show it. It's really terrible to touch Master Yipin Hou and bully the empress dowager's precious nephew.

Zhu Dingbei couldn't hear that Xiao Tai was watching him as a scourge, and he was still thinking about Emperor Zhenyuan's intention to summon him.Ning Heng still had a sense of proportion, let Zhu Dingbei and the summoned eunuch take the first step in front of the palace gate, and returned to the empress dowager by himself.

On such an occasion, his identity is no longer a classmate of Zhu Dingbei's Guozixue or a young boy, but the Marquis of Changxin who represents a family and a family. bring trouble.

Zhu Dingbei walked with his head down, until the eunuch was summoned and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the grandson of the Zhenbei Marquis has an audience." Then he knelt down and said: "Zhu Dingbei, the grandson of the Zhenbei Marquis, pays homage to your majesty, long live, long live! Long live."

Emperor Zhenyuan didn't ask him to kneel too much, after he saw the ceremony, he smiled and said: "Excuse me, come in, let me take a look."

Zhu Dingbei just stood up, when he heard a voice laughing: "I heard before that the young master of Zhu's family had a dragon and a phoenix appearance, and seeing him today is really extraordinary."

The corners of Zhu Dingbei's eyes twitched, but he didn't pay attention to that person. He didn't even glance away from the corner of his eye. He walked a few steps forward under the guidance of the palace staff without squinting, and stood still for a half-respect.Emperor Zhenyuan's eyes fell on him, and seeing that he kept his head down, he smiled and asked him to raise his head.

Zhu Dingbei raised his head slowly, his eyes barely touched the emperor's, and then dropped down again, Luo Ziah on his dragon robe.

This was the first time in this life that he faced His Majesty the Emperor head-on after returning to Beijing.

He hasn't changed at all...and it seems that he has lost a little of the secrecy he had seen in his previous life.

He was full of emotion in his heart, and heard Emperor Zhenyuan sigh and say: "What Uncle Wen Chang said is true. I only took a closer look at this child's appearance today. If I hadn't known him as the son of Marshal Zhu, I really wouldn't have recognized him." .”

Zhu Dingbei's face was sullen, his expression was dull, Emperor Zhenyuan didn't care, after all, it was still a child's first time meeting the saint, so he was naturally nervous, so he turned to Lord Zhenbei, who was under the head of the royal family, jokingly said: "Little It is really a big deal for you to get your grandson to vote in your family. No wonder the mother always said that this child should be born in the royal family, and I also think this is reasonable."

Lord Zhenbei's voice was much louder than these genteel people, he got up and said: "Old Zhu's family has waited for several lifetimes to have such a white baby. Your Majesty should say that my old man married the right wife, and this child will follow his grandmother."

Emperor Zhenyuan laughed non-stop, pointing at Lord Zhenbei and said, "This child's appearance really doesn't deserve half of the credit for loving you, haha."

Zhu Dingbei listened to the echoes of the officials and Emperor Zhenyuan's laughter, and quickly lowered his head to hide the sharpness in his eyes.He has always known the behavior of his Majesty the emperor, and he also took advantage of his gentle appearance. He was very kind and amiable when restraining his coercion.His Majesty the emperor has been respectful and corporal since he was young. He has been diligent and frugal in recent years, and has also made some achievements in politics - at least compared with the conservative emperor, he is worthy of his ancestors.

He was also happy because he was loyal to such an outstanding emperor.

But he never imagined that it was such an emperor who was admired by all the people and he was loyal to him. When he led the army to fight, he was planning how to kill himself and the Zhu family!

In his first rebirth, he still couldn't see through His Majesty the Emperor.This rumored person who loved Concubine Zhu Xian very much could kill the innocent woman who had been with him for more than thirty years in a blink of an eye, leaving her without dignity after death.He now attaches great importance to and appreciates the Zhu family, and cares about a child. He gave many treasures to show his love for the Zhenbei Hou Mansion and the Zhu family, but he can turn around without a trace of hesitation. , Eradicate the tomb of the man of the Zhu family who is piled up with flesh and blood!

How can you not hate it?

But none of that mattered anymore.

He was no longer the ignorant young man who did not dare to offend Tianwei and feared the emperor and the royal family.

As early as the moment he made up his mind to destroy the Zhu family, there was... no sense of justice between them.
