Abandoned prince's favorite

The next day.

The autumn wind is rustling and the drizzle is falling.

But this gloomy weather did not stop the enthusiasm of the people in Qiangzhou to rebuild their homes. Everyone from the elderly to the children are busy.

He Tongen stood respectfully beside the carriage, waiting for instructions.

After Xie Chengan helped Yu Fengbao into the carriage, the soft look on his face disappeared, and then changed to a serious face.

He Tongen felt that if the emperor stopped being the emperor and just changed his face, he would be able to make a living after all.

Xie Chengan looked at the Qiangzhou City, which had already taken shape, and felt deeply moved.

"He Tongen, you and Bao'er are both meritorious ministers for this disaster relief, but now that Bao'er is pregnant, I really can't bear to let him work here, so I wronged you to stay in Qiangzhou for a longer time. Only with you here rest assured."

He Tongen hurriedly knelt down to thank him.

"I am ashamed and dare not be responsible. This is all a matter of the humble minister. Please rest assured that Qiangzhou will not return to its original state, and the minister will not return to the court."

Xie Chengan nodded, if there were more good officials like He Tongen who were dedicated to the people in the court, his life would be much easier, he stepped forward to help him up.

"For the time being, you will act as the magistrate of Qiangzhou, and you will also keep an eye out for me on weekdays. Are there any talents among the officials below? If so, just let them practice."

He Tongen agreed.

Xie Chengan got into the carriage, and opened the curtain as if remembering something, "In addition, Qiangzhou suffered heavy losses from the earthquake, so I decided to exempt taxes for three years."

He Tongen had tears in his eyes.

"On behalf of the people of Qiangzhou, I thank the emperor for his kindness!"

……

Xie Chengan didn't want to make too much noise, and kept everything simple, only two or three carriages and a small team of guards.

The carriage looked like an ordinary carriage from the outside, but inside it was newly decorated, covered with thin and soft cashmere carpet, Yu Fengbao leaned on the soft pillow, picked up a freshly made candied fruit and threw it into his mouth.

His appetite has gotten better these days, and he prefers sweet and sour.

As soon as Xie Chengan sat down, Yu Fengbao twisted his body and got into his arms. He hadn't seen him for several months, and he wished he could stick to him all the time.

"Bao'er is pregnant with a child now, why is she also a child?"

Xie Chengan hugged him in his arms, reached out and tapped the tip of his nose lightly.

Yu Fengbao lightly pecked his lips, "In the past, no one cared for anyone, so of course I have to be sensible and capable. Now that I have an emperor, I naturally want to enjoy everything I haven't enjoyed before."

Nestling in Xie Chengan's warm embrace, he stretched out his slender fingers to point at the peach cakes on the low table and said, "Little Anzi, I'm a little hungry, quickly bring that plate of peach cakes to me."

Sweet and sour taste of candied fruit on soft lips.

Xie Chengan was still not satisfied, he stuck out his tongue and licked his lips.

"Yes, I will fetch it for you for my husband."

He reached out to pick up a piece of peach cake and put it in his mouth, then lowered his head and fed it.

The aroma between the lips and teeth is mixed with the crisp fragrance of peach cakes, and the whole carriage is full of spring.

The carriage slowly left the city.

Not long after leaving the city gate, there was a tsunami-like movement behind him, cheers and music overwhelmingly rolled over.

Yu Fengbao panted and pushed Xie Chengan away, "Your Majesty, what's going on outside?"

The person in his arms had a pink face with spring, eyebrows and eyes with affection, his eyes were clear and penetrating, his lips became more red and lustrous because of the kiss just now, Xie Chengan's eyes were burning with flames.

"Whatever, I just want to..."

Yu Fengbao tilted his body, avoiding Xie Chengan's kiss, lying on the side of the car window, opened the curtain and looked out, only to see countless people chasing after the carriage, they were running and shouting.

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live."

The voice shook the sky, reaching directly to the heavens.

Xie Chengan stopped the carriage, he got out of the carriage holding Yu Fengbao's hand, and then waved to the people who rushed over.

These are the people of his Great Zhou Dynasty.

They are tenacious, they are grateful, and they use the most simple way to see them off.

Yu Fengbao's eyes flicked across the unfamiliar faces. These people were the most ordinary people, hardworking and kind-hearted were written on their faces. His nose was sour, and his eyes were blurred.

Xie Chengan noticed the change in his mood, and shook his hand carefully.

"They came to see me off, not you. Why are you so moved?"

Yu Fengbao quietly pinched his waist, "Last night you clearly said that you and I are one body, so when they send you off, it is naturally the same as sending me off."

Xie Chengan's lips curled into a smile.

When he was young, he read the sentence "Water can carry a boat and overturn it" and didn't think it had any profound meaning at that time, but now looking at the people in front of him, he suddenly understood.

The world is the world of all peoples, and only those who have the will of the people can become emperors.

A young woman with a flowered cloth tied on her head came forward with her child in her arms, "I was in front of the magistrate's mansion earlier, thank you, Lord Yu, for saving me. This is how the women and children can survive. The woman is illiterate, please boldly ask Master Yu to name the child."

Only then did Yu Fengbao remember that this young woman was the woman who wanted to die when he first arrived in Qiangzhou City. He hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, but he hadn't studied much, so it would be nice to ask him to name her. It was really embarrassing for him, he looked at Xie Chengan behind him as if asking for help.

Xie Chengan pretended not to see him.

Yu Fengbao had no choice but to walk up to him, took his hand and shook it lightly, "Your servant is ignorant, so instead of letting me name it, it's better to let the emperor choose it, so that the emperor's blessing will protect the child's health." When you grow up, you will become a pillar of the country in the future."

As soon as he said this, Xie Chengan couldn't do anything about it.

He stepped forward and glanced at the baby in the swaddle. The baby was small, with pink and tender skin, and looked really cute. He asked in a low voice, "Is this a boy or a girl? What's your last name?"

The young woman didn't expect such an honor, she hurriedly knelt down to thank her, but was stopped by Yu Fengbao.

"The husband's family name is Han, and the woman kowtows to thank the emperor for giving the name to the son in her arms."

Standing on the mound, Xie Chengan saw that the drizzle had just stopped, and the originally dark sky seemed to be clearing up. When he looked into the distance, he saw the vastness of the sky and the earth, and suddenly he felt a sense of openness and openness in his heart.

"Let's call the child Zhiyuan, which means tranquility and Zhiyuan. I hope this child will have a great future in the future."

The woman thanked her and withdrew.

At the beginning, everyone was afraid of the might of the sky and did not dare to go forward. Now seeing that the emperor is so approachable, they all rushed forward. Fortunately, He Tongen led people to maintain the order of the scene. The common people did not have enough money, and the things they sent were nothing more than fruits , eggs and deli pastries.

A little girl with a broken arm stuffed a bouquet of wild flowers into Yu Fengbao's hand and ran away.

Xie Chengan said softly: "Thank you, Bao'er."

Thank you for letting him see such a touching scene.

After the two returned to the carriage, the voices behind them became smaller and smaller.But Xie Chengan's heart was still surging, he chose a yellow wild flower and put it on Yu Fengbao's temple.

He raised his chin again, and looked carefully.

"It's true that people are more charming than flowers."

Yu Fengbao gave him an angry look, "What kind of flowers do I wear as a big man? If I let others see it, I will laugh." After finishing speaking, Fu lowered his eyes again. Strictly speaking, he is not a real man anymore. He wanted to take the flower off his head with his hand, but Xie Chengan blocked it.

"Who says men can't wear flowers? I will wear them with you, and Bao'er will pick one for me."

Xie Chengan held the bouquet in front of him.

Yu Fengbao picked a big red flower and stuck it in his hair.

Xie Chengan moved his face close to him, as if you were going to praise me.

Yu Fengbao thought for a long time before saying: "The emperor is born to look good, and he looks good in everything he wears!"

……

After returning to the capital, it was nearly the end of the new year, and the whole capital was getting stronger and stronger.

After Xie Chengan returned to the palace, he simply washed up and took Yu Fengbao to the Palace of Compassion.

Yu Fengbao had met the Empress Dowager a few times, and he only knew that she was an extremely powerful woman. Now that Xie Chengan was going to risk the world's disgrace to make her Empress, he felt panicked when he thought about it, and he deliberately slowed down his pace.

"Your Majesty, I feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach, why don't we go another day."

He turned around and walked back, before taking two steps, Xie Chengan pulled him back, he stared at his face and looked, "Bao'er, do you know that you are the last person who knows how to lie, once you lie Don’t dare to look me in the eyes.”

Yu Fengbao drooped his head and didn't speak.

Xie Chengan hugged him and coaxed him.

"Bao'er, I know that you will be scared when you meet your future mother-in-law for the first time, but don't forget, we are three against one, no matter how powerful the mother-in-law is, she can't compare to us."

Yu Fengbao looked at him in surprise.

"Three against one?"

Xie Chengan reached out and touched his belly, "You still have a villain in your belly. Even if the mother doesn't like you, he has to take care of her grandson in your belly. Don't worry, if the mother gets angry with you How about beating her son and scolding her grandson?"

Yu Fengbao was amused by him, and he relaxed a little.

Anyway, stretching the head is a knife, and shrinking the head is also a knife. He should die early and be born sooner. He gritted his teeth and strode forward, "If the queen mother is not happy for a while, you can sleep on the couch tonight. Now the grandson of the queen mother is me!" I can't move, but I can still move the Queen Mother's son once or twice."

"what?"

Xie Chengan exclaimed, and hurriedly chased after him.

He secretly regretted that this time he really shot himself in the foot.

……

Cining Palace.

The Empress Dowager sat on the soft couch with a gloomy face.

"Your Majesty, you are just about to ascend the throne, and the government has not yet been stabilized, so you did such absurd things?"

Xie Cheng'an cupped his hands and said, "My son knows his mistake, so he doesn't dare to do it anymore. It's just..."

The queen mother pointed at Yu Fengbao again and shouted: "Your majesty is young and doesn't know how important it is. It's useless to be a slave around you. It's enough for you to go to Qiangzhou to relieve the disaster by yourself. You can also lure the emperor to go to that dangerous place. Aijia asked you if you are the emperor. If something goes wrong, how many heads do you have enough to chop off?"

Xie Chengan thought that the bricks and stones were hard, and Yu Fengbao was pregnant again, if he kneeled for a long time, his knees would be hurt, so he hurriedly helped him up.

"Mother, if you want to blame, you can blame your son. This matter has nothing to do with Bao'er. Besides, Bao'er is now pregnant with my child. He is a great hero of our Great Zhou Dynasty. Even if the mother doesn't care about him, she still has to feel sorry for his stomach. Your own grandson."

The queen mother was silent, and her eyes fell on Yu Fengbao's slightly protruding abdomen.

"How many months?"

Yu Fengbao lowered his head and replied in a low voice: "It's almost six months."

The Empress Dowager didn't get entangled in this matter anymore, she just said: "Now that he is pregnant, it is naturally inconvenient to serve him. Ai's family let Anxiu go to the imperial court early in the morning. She is safe, and she is also in Ai's house. You can worry less."

Xie Chengan didn't care about these little things, he cupped his hands and said: "Mother, my son still has something to ask for, the new year is approaching, and it's the first new year since my son ascended the throne. My son wants to be happy and announce it to the world. Li Bao My son will be the queen, and after Baoer gives birth to a son, I will be my eldest son and become the crown prince."

The queen mother snorted coldly.

"Nonsense! The Great Zhou Dynasty has been established for a hundred years, and it has never seen a man as its queen."

He pointed at Yu Fengbao, the gorgeous armor glowing coldly, "Besides, he is not considered a man, just an eunuch. The Ai family just pretended not to hear what the emperor said today. After saying this, the Ai family also Tired, you all retreat."

She rubbed her forehead and went straight to the inside.

Xie Chengan wanted to say more, but Yu Fengbao tugged at his sleeve and said in a low voice.

"Your Majesty, I'm hungry!"

When Xie Chengan heard this, he couldn't care less about finding the Empress Dowager for an argument, and besides, this matter is not something that can be done in a hurry, he just tried it out today, so that the Empress Dowager can be mentally prepared.

"Come on, pass on the sedan chair!"
