Marry a wife to be the emperor

Seeing Lan Min's disappointment, Pei Qinghong said a few words of comfort to the other party. Originally, he wanted to take out the gift in advance, but after thinking about it, he decided to give up.

Whether Lan Min is willing or not, the fact that the Supreme Emperor's birthday and his are on the same day cannot be changed.What Pei Qinghong can do is to inform the other party about this matter in advance, so that the other party has enough psychological preparation, and then try to rush back from the palace as early as possible that day, maybe it can surprise people.

As for the birthday gifts of the two, he had already decided to keep the jade pendant he had taken from Master Wang as Lan Min's first birthday gift for the other party.The birthday gift dedicated to the Supreme Emperor was replaced by a rare gadget that he bought from Fanbang with a lot of money, a telescope that can clearly see far away.

This telescope is not a rare thing in Pei Qinghong's eyes who has the memory of two lifetimes, but it can be said to be a treasure to the people of Lan Country, and even to the Supreme Emperor.

In this era, no matter in the rich Dalan, in Fanbang or even in countries beyond the ocean, the handicrafts of making glass and polishing lenses are very backward.

However, the relevant knowledge in Pei Qinghong's waking memory is absolutely impossible for him to build aircraft and cannons in Lan Country, nor can he greatly improve these handicrafts.

Regardless of the fact that Lan Country's money and conditions do not allow it, his major in the previous life was not in this area, and many of the modern manufacturing methods that he remembered could not produce finished products without the support of the advanced technology of the previous life.

All in all, Pei Qinghong spent a lot of money when he bought this thing, and it is indeed a rare treasure in this era.More importantly, the military value behind this extremely high telescope will definitely be something that the Supreme Emperor values ​​and likes.

The birthday gift that his left prime minister would present to the Supreme Emperor was a statue of Maitreya Buddha personally selected by Mrs. Ye. The statue of Maitreya Buddha was consecrated by the enlightened abbot. It was carved from a complete piece of white jade. One of the most valuable things.

Pei Qingyi, who came back from the palace, nestled in the study and wrote a picture of Baifu as a birthday gift in a few days. Even Pei Qinglin, who was not a courtier, was very interested in giving a birthday gift to the one in the palace under such circumstances.

"I want to become a great general of hussars, and expand the territory of Dalan for me!" After lunch, Pei Qinglin said this when he mentioned the congratulatory gift to the Supreme Emperor.

Ye Shi, who was sitting next to him, just smiled and shook his head, while Ye Wanying, who was sitting beside him, laughed at his impracticality.

Ye Wanying has a petite figure and a sweet appearance. She has white and neat teeth, and her small cherry mouth is especially merciless when she criticizes Pei Qinglin: "Come on, you are the one with thin arms and legs. It’s almost like riding a general to wash a horse and become a firefighter. You can’t even beat my brother, so you just fantasize about these things all day long.”

Ye Wanying's elder brother's official uniform is light crimson, with a gold belt. He is a fifth-rank General Dingyuan. Pei Qinglin is fifteen years older, and he has also gone out with the army several times. His martial arts and experience are naturally better than Pei Qinglin's.Ye Wanying followed her elder brother and also knew how to fight. When she was young, she once beat Pei Qinglin to tears, so she always made fun of him for it.

Pei Qinglin turned his head away, and ignored her with a dark face: "Women have long hair but short knowledge. A man doesn't care about a little girl like you."

"What do you mean?! My aunt's hair is longer than mine, and your hair is not shorter than mine. Who are you talking about a little girl?!" Ye Wanying immediately jumped up and down.

"My mother is my mother, are you half as good as my mother? You are not even half as big as my sister-in-law." Pei Qinglin is obviously not a sympathetic master, and he would not say that he would tolerate Ye Wanying half a point. He stood up from the chair, said good afternoon to Mrs. Ye and Pei Yan, and then went to practice archery with the arrow placed beside him.Ye Wanying pursed her mouth in grievance and complained to Ye Shi: "Auntie, look at my third cousin, he is treating me like this again!"

However, Mrs. Ye did not comfort her as she imagined. Instead, she said a few words that she should obey the rules, and got up from her side quite coldly, leaving her behind.

Ye Wanying turned her face to look for Rong Xin's cousin, but she was so angry yesterday that she didn't come here at all today, and her eldest cousin couldn't count on her, so she turned her face and looked eagerly at her. Looking at Pei Qinghong, he wanted to seek a few words of comfort.

The man with gentle eyebrows and the best temper in the mansion just smiled at her, and walked out side by side with his newly married husband and wife.

When he was far away from Ye Wanying, as a new cousin, Lan Min asked about the former in a low voice: "What about the cousin and the third brother?" He didn't know Ye Wanying well, so naturally he couldn't call her so intimately. boudoir name.

"Don't worry too much about that. Cousin Wanying is too evasive, and she is not suitable for the third brother. If she pesters you, find a way to avoid it. What she dislikes the most is others preaching to her." Ye Wanying's disposition is really too childish, she has a feeling that if she loves you, she will bully you, but not everyone will like this kind of special attention, at least Pei Qinglin has no affection for this cousin at all.

Of course Pei Qinghong knew what his cousin was thinking, if Lang's affectionate concubine was interested, it would be fine to say so.It's just that Pei Qinglin really doesn't like Ye Wanying, and he will never forcefully bring the two together.What's more, in his memory, it's best not to be together in this kind of cousin-cousin relationship, otherwise it's easy to give birth to abnormal children.

Lan Min nodded: "I will pay attention to whether a man or a woman will marry or not. It's just that looking at the two of them today, I remember that the third brother is not too young, and he has reached the age where he can get married, so I feel a little bit emotional. I don't know when the parents are going to let the third brother marry a wife?"

"The third brother is six years younger than me, so it's too early to talk about marrying a wife. My parents also disagree with this matter, and my mother intends to marry a noble daughter for Xiao Qi. In short, in front of my parents, you'd better Don't mention Qiyan's marriage."

Pei Yan had expressed his dissatisfaction with Ye Wanying to him in private, and even Ye Shi, who has always loved his niece, was unexpectedly opposed to this. When he asked, he shook his head: "Your elder brother formed a With a marriage like Rongxin, you marry another man for the Pei family, Qiyan must find someone from a family he likes and has a comparable family background, Wanying is too young to get along with Qiyan .”

"I see, but there is one more thing. The third brother wants to be a general, and his martial arts are outstanding, but his parents don't seem to want him to practice martial arts?" Zuo Xiang and his wife have very high demands on their children, and they are not pedantic. People, this can be seen from the fact that Pei Qinghong married a man.

But such open-minded parents are very subtle in their attitude towards the third son. Even the youngest son who is doted on feels a little wrong.Lan Min believed in her intuition, but she couldn't tell what was wrong for a while.

"It's probably because the parents care too much about Xiaoqi. Don't look at him so strong now. Xiaoqi was very weak when he was born, just like a kitten. It's a blessing to be able to support him. Maybe it's because of what happened back then Parents have always attached great importance to the third brother. If the third brother followed his wishes and asked him to become a general, he must run to a dangerous place. I can't continue the incense for the Pei family, and the elder brother has nothing to do now. Parents It is also natural not to want him to go to the battlefield."

The explanation given by Pei Qinghong can be said to be very reasonable. Lan Min felt that he could accept it, so he stopped mentioning Pei Qinglin's matter, and walked with the former, from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting to poetry and poetry, from The poems and songs talked about the philosophy of life, and finally turned to Lan Min himself.

"If I remember correctly, Zijue used to teach calligraphy and painting in a private school, right?" Before marrying into Pei's family, Lan Min didn't spend every day in the courtyard, he had a serious job , although the salary is low, but the reputation is good, and those students would respectfully call him Mr. Lan when they saw him.

Mentioning this, Lan Min's eyes lit up first, then dimmed again: "Muzhi remembers correctly, I was indeed a teacher in the private school, but not now." Although the steward of the private school wanted to stay with each other, The students' parents didn't want their children to be educated by a man who married a man, and some of the students had a good family background. When the other party put pressure on them, Lan Min couldn't stay even if he wanted to.

As a weak scholar with clear grievances and grievances, Lan Min naturally didn't make things difficult for others, so he proposed to leave before the other party opened his mouth, which was considered a total embarrassment for both of them.

The two walked up the Jiuqu Bridge hand in hand. Originally, they were going to cross the bridge directly. When the matter of Lan Min was mentioned, Pei Qinghong paused, turned around and went up the steps, standing on the edge of the column of the Huxin Pavilion: "Then I don't know if Zijue intends to work in Hengshan Academy, the head of the mountain there pays more attention to talent than reputation. Most importantly, he appreciates your works."

"Of course Zijue doesn't have to worry that the head of the mountain will be made things difficult by others because of this. He is father's disciple and has a reputation. As long as Zijue doesn't do anything out of line, he can stay there with peace of mind. "

Hengshan Academy and Lan Min's small private school are completely different from each other. Even being a cook in Hengshan Academy is respected and envied. If you can enter Hengshan Academy to be a teacher, even if you only teach basic calligraphy and painting It is a hundred times better than teaching children in private schools.

Lan Min didn't show joy as he imagined, but hesitantly said, "How did that mountain chief see my work?"

Pei Qinghong curled his lips, "Didn't Zijue draw a landscape picture before, but you threw it in the wastebasket, I lost a very important picture earlier, and when I dug it out, I happened to pick up this picture The painting, I really like the scenery on it, so I asked someone to frame it, and when I went to pick up the painting, I ran into the head of the mountain."

But Lan Min still rejected his proposal: "Going to Hengshan Academy is indeed very exciting, and I am also very grateful for Mu Zhi's hard work, but I have already negotiated with Huaiyuan Bookstore, and I will be there in two or three days. As a bookmaker, I can read the latest books and have enough time to do what I like. Hengshan Academy is very good, but compared to that, I think the job in the bookstore is more suitable for me."

Pei Qinghong not only knew that the other party had already contacted Huaiyuan Bookstore, but he only spent all this time thinking that the other party would have something to do, and Lan Min would not be annoyed if he didn't want to: "Then I will congratulate you first, go to the bookstore It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if you stay in the bookstore, as long as you are happy. If one day Jue thinks about going to Hengshan Bookstore, don't lose face and tell your husband."

"If there is that day, I will definitely tell Mu Zhi." The one who taught and educated people in the private school before was the shadow guard, and he, the shadow guard, can teach children. If he went to Hengshan, he would definitely be exposed.As for Huaiyuan Bookstore, it was originally a store under his name. If he went to Huaiyuan Bookstore to work, it would be much more convenient to change his identity.

Pei Qinghong fell silent again, resting one hand on the fence and looking at the scenery in the middle of the lake pavilion.The Pei family planted a lot of lotus in the lake surrounding the Jiuqu Bridge. It was the time when the lotus was in full bloom. Among the emerald green lotus leaves that occupied a small half of the lake, there were already hundreds of lotus in full bloom or budding. .Some are white, some are pink, and there are a few bright red flowers, with a slim appearance, which perfectly matches the sentence that comes out of the mud but not stained, clean and clear but not demonic.

It happened that a servant girl brought fish food to feed the koi raised in the lake. Looking from the pavilion, koi of various colors jumped up from the water, scrambling for food, adding a bit of vitality to the beautiful scenery.

The scenery of the Huxin Pavilion is very beautiful, but Pei Qinghong seldom comes here on weekdays. If he hadn't come here with Lan Min today, he wouldn't have been able to appreciate the beautiful scenery, and he wouldn't have just realized that his lotus bloomed now.

Looking at the beautiful scenery, he suddenly came up with another idea: "Okay, let's not talk about this. Speaking of portraits, Zijue has never painted a portrait for me. I will have to take a longer time from tomorrow on." I’m staying in the palace to be responsible for the repairs of the palace, and the weather is fine today, so Zijue will take a portrait of me at the Huxin Pavilion, it’s my thank you for running around for you, what do you think?”

Lan Min nodded with a smile: "Mu Zhi's suggestion is of course very good." The two asked the maid to find someone to bring the painting tools. Pei Qinghong leaned on the stone pillar and stared at Lan Min. Lang Jun rubbed the ink, and stood aside to watch Lan Min paint.

When Pei Qinghong's legs were a little sore from standing and his whole body was a little drowsy, Lan Min's painting, which took two hours to draw, was considered complete.The gentle young man put his brush on the inkstone, and the nineteenth, who was sitting and standing, immediately shouted excitedly: "Master, the gentleman has finished the painting, this painting is really good!"

"Oh!" Pei Qinghong's upper and lower eyelids were glued together, and his legs were numb. He almost fell into the cold lake when he called out to him. Luckily, he was leaning on a pillar and waiting. He stood firm, and walked to the stone table in the pavilion to look at the portrait Lan Min gave him.

The man with extremely handsome eyes is leaning on the vermilion lacquer pillar, behind is the exquisite lake pavilion, looking from the back of the pavilion, the beautiful scenery of the lake on the edge of the water and the sky line, the water surface is shimmering, the lotus leaves are swaying, and the delicate You can also see red koi jumping out of the water between the lotus leaves.

The blue lotus leaves, the pink lotus flowers, the red pavilion pillars and koi carp, and the sky that is dyed fiery red by the sunset, just looking at this painting makes me feel warm, not to mention the smile in his eyes as depicted by Lan Min meaning.

Pei Qinghong hadn't expressed his opinion yet, but Nineteen, who had seen the painting several times, expressed his opinion again: "Mr. Lang painted the young master so beautifully, and the charm came out."

Lan Min showed an extremely warm smile, and said modestly: "It doesn't matter who you ask to draw. Mu Zhi's appearance is beautiful, and others can only draw better than me."

"Zijue is too self-effacing, at least I can't draw this kind of thing." After finishing speaking, he picked up the paintbrush at the side, cut out Zhang Xiao's life, looked up at Lan Min, and started to draw A black and white three-headed villain.

The very distinctive jade crown with hair tied up, and the clothes of the same style on Lan Min, although the strokes are simple, but from the basic features, it is still possible to tell who is in the painting at a glance.

"Yes, sir, don't be modest, my young master is best at drawing this kind of villain with a big head and a small body. I still remember the painting that the young master drew back then. The master who drew the painting has lost his temper." Nineteen still had lingering fears at that time, knowing that the master would not dare to hit the young master when he was angry, and if he really hit him, it would be those schoolboys who would be hit.

But seeing Lan Min pursing his lips and smiling, he quickly added to try to restore the glorious image of his young master: "Actually, the young master can not only draw this, but he can also quickly describe the scenery, which is exactly the same as what the eyes see. It's amazing."

As an excellent architect and engineer, Lan Min has a strong drawing ability, and fast sketching is his strong point, but he can only draw exactly the same things, and cannot draw the beauty of the scenery and the charm of the characters.

If it is said that Pei Qinghong's paintings are photos taken with a point-and-shoot camera, art requires professional photographers to choose photographs taken from different angles with different luminosities.In the eyes of Da Lan's true literati, Lan Min's paintings can only be outlandish and skillful, and they are not up to the table at all.Pei Qinghong knew this very well, so he never made a fool of himself in front of others.

"That's enough, Zijue, don't listen to Nineteen's nonsense. Since I painted this painting, please give it to me." The handsome young man moved the ink-stained paper to this side. , After thinking for a while, he pushed the three-headed body he had drawn over, picked up a pen and wrote his name on it, and then said, "Although this painting cannot be put on the table, I also drew it with my heart, so it is right to give it to Zijue." return the gift."

Lan Min didn't feel that he was being taken advantage of: "If you don't return the gift, the painting is also for you. If you like it, I will feel very happy."

He picked up the three-headed villain that Pei Qinghong had drawn, and said carefully, "Although the villain in Mu Zhi's painting is simpler, it is novel and interesting. Three strokes and two strokes can outline the characteristics of the characters. It's rare."

Nineteen, who was standing on one side, was happy that the relationship between the couple had progressed, and was overwhelmed by the sweetness of the two people's mutual compliments, so they packed their things silently and went back.

On the second day, Pei Qinghong and Lan Min had breakfast together, and then parted ways when they left the house.In Dalan, which can be called Guoshun and Ming'an, the birthday of the Supreme Emperor is much more important than the birthday of the Queen Mother today.The renovation of the Supreme Emperor's bedroom started before Pei Qinghong's wedding, and now it's at the stage of completion for Shangshu's acceptance.

First, the staff of the Ministry of Industry inspected it, then the Minister of the Ministry of Industry checked it, then Pei Qinghong, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, checked it, and finally the Supreme Emperor himself wanted to be satisfied.There is a lot of money allocated by the household department for the repair of the Supreme Emperor’s palace, but few dare to take money from it. Stone and wood are the best materials. If something happens, craftsmen, masons, and officials of all sizes will ask responsible.

Without Pei Qinghong, the immediate boss, who took the money, and the newly appointed Shangshu showed that he attached great importance to the renovation of the Supreme Emperor's palace, the people under him naturally did not dare to fish for it.By the day before the Supreme Emperor's 26th birthday, all the places had passed the inspection, and various high platforms for entertaining civil and military officials, royal family and nobles were also set up, and the palace was decorated with lanterns and festoons everywhere, which was full of joy.

It's just that in the little emperor's bedroom, there were not many people with happy faces.Sitting on a bright yellow cushion in the Qianyuan Hall where the emperor lived, the handsome young man was wearing a five-clawed dragon robe, and was lying on the long table with a sleepy expression. The young emperor Tai Shuyue was only eleven years old.

The purple-clothed woman sitting on the soft couch next to him is five points similar to his face. Because of proper maintenance, she looks only in her early twenties, her makeup is exquisite and graceful, and she has the majesty of a member of the royal family. Sheng Zhu Dan, skin bullying Sai Xue, is the Queen Mother Zhang who is rumored to have an affair with the Supreme Emperor.

The palace servants who served the emperor and the empress dowager were shunned by them early on, and they all stayed outside the palace, waiting for their master to summon them.Seeing the little emperor's attitude, the Empress Dowager Zhang couldn't stay on the soft couch anymore, she stood up and came to the little emperor, with a face of mourning and anger: "Who are you making this gesture for?" Look, how did you promise your mother and queen to your father! You look like this now, even if he let you take charge, you will not be able to do it, and you will only make the world laugh at you!"

The uncle laughed more and more, obviously he didn't care about the Empress Dowager Zhang's words: "It's just a joke, anyway, I'm still young, even if I do it well, those civil and military ministers will only attribute all the credit to the Supreme Emperor , if it is not done well, it means that I am rebellious and will not listen to the emperor's advice."

In history, it is not uncommon for the regent or powerful minister to control the government, and it is not uncommon for the emperor to be made a puppet. What makes him slightly stronger than those people is that it is his uncle who controls the government, and his uncle is still a suspect. broken sleeve.

The Empress Dowager Zhang was obviously dissatisfied with his remarks: "Since you also know that the Supreme Emperor is regent, you should study harder and strive to win power. The power left by your father is still dissatisfied with the Supreme Emperor. All the courtiers can be our help. Your grandfather, uncle, and the entire Zhang family are on our side. Don’t forget that you are the emperor in this world, the true emperor of Da Lan! "

"Except for Zhang's family, how many people in this world still remember that I am the emperor!" Taishu Yue leaned back in his chair after he had straightened up, his still immature face was full of frustration.He lost his father at the age of five, and was promoted to the throne at the age of seven. From an ignorant child to the current puppet emperor, he would be instilled by the Queen Mother Zhang with various disadvantages of the Supreme Emperor almost every day.

But since he discovered that the servants serving in the palace actually obeyed the emperor's orders, and the courtiers didn't take him seriously as the queen mother said, he gradually changed from being angry to being insensitive now.He is only eleven, and Tai Shulan has already grasped the government affairs for many years.The military and political power is also in the hands of his uncle who is the regent. It is not easy for him to live in peace until now. It is wishful thinking to talk about regaining real power.

The Empress Dowager Zhang snorted coldly: "If you don't want to do it, the Empress Dowager will do it for you. What kind of uncle and emperor is he? After fighting the minister known as the number one warrior, everyone can be punished for a rebellious minister like Tai Shulan, as long as you have the heart, the real power will naturally return to your hands."

"What does the queen mother want to do, to assassinate the emperor? Do you think our life is too long? I am only 11 years old, and I don't want to die under the wrath of the emperor." Although there are only eleven, but in this kind of Under the environment, Tai Shuyue's mind is more mature and stable than that of a young man in his twenties.

In recent years, he has been worrying about his own life all day long. He can still live for so long. As long as he lives in peace, he might be able to wait until his powerful uncle dies and the imperial power smoothly returns to him. Naturally, I don't want the Empress Dowager Zhang to do something stupid to take his life into it.

Empress Dowager Zhang didn't say much about this aspect, but instead brought up the matter of marrying the emperor: "Our mothers are of one mind, my son is now eleven, and the Ai family thinks that the granddaughter of Zhang Taifu's family is very good. Being able to marry in and become a queen will be of great help to us."

Except for some exceptions, people in the imperial palace always develop earlier than ordinary people in certain aspects. Many of Dalan's royal family children had children at a young age. Even her husband had a princess when he was fourteen. , and she gave birth to the emperor's heir for the first emperor when she was fifteen, who is now the little emperor Tai Shuyue.

The Zhang Taifu that the Empress Dowager Zhang spoke of was the Taifu when the Taishu Yuefu was the prince. Now he is over sixty years old, and the granddaughter of the second son is three years older than him. The Zhang family and the Zhang family are related by marriage, and they are bound together. The grasshopper on the root rope, but the Taifu Zhang is a complete old fox, and he began to waver when he saw the young emperor from the support of the crowd to the decline.

The Empress Dowager Zhang wanted to tie the two families even tighter through marriage. If Zhang Taifu's direct granddaughter married the emperor and became the queen, it would be impossible for the Zhang family to escape even if they wanted to.

Taishu Yue naturally knew what his mother's queen was planning, but he seemed particularly resistant to this marriage: "If mother's queen wants to marry the Zhang family's prostitute, she can do it herself, and I will not marry her. If mother's queen forces me to marry her , then I will never be lucky enough to empress, you are not joking."

Not moving the queen would embarrass the Zhang family. You must know that the position of the queen cannot really bind the Zhang family. Only the heir who can become the future emperor is the key for the latter to stand in line.The Empress Dowager Zhang's tone softened a bit, and she talked with the uncle Yue Yue in a nice voice.

"If the emperor doesn't like that daughter of the Zhang family, General Li's family is also good..." Of course, it is impossible for the queen mother to choose only one of Zhang Taifu's granddaughters, but the former is the most suitable candidate for the queen in her opinion. .

Tai Shu Yue refused very resolutely: "My son is still young, and before my son is in charge, the mother should not mention this marriage again. If my son really has a girl he likes, he must tell his mother as soon as possible, and then canonize it. Empress. If the queen mother has time, she might as well think about what will happen tomorrow, if the emperor's uncle is unhappy, it would be bad if the queen mother is so ill that she can't afford to be ill."

After saying this, he called the palace servants to come in, and asked the Queen Mother Zhang to be invited out. The two mothers and sons with different hearts broke up unhappily.When it was time to go to bed, Grand Uncle Yue shunned the maids and eunuchs away, leaving only his companion Xue Cheng behind.

The young man with delicate features stretched out his two hands and acted softly at the honest young man: "Big companion, after becoming a mother today, I want to marry a wife for me again."

Youth is a ritual of castration performed after adulthood, the voice is not as shrill as other eunuchs, but has a deep and hoarse texture.He hugged the little emperor with his back, and gently patted the young man's slender back with his broad and thick palms that were no longer rough in the palace: "The Queen Mother wants to give you more help, Your Highness. This is a good thing."

He started serving the little emperor when he was born, and he still didn't change his title after Taishu Yue ascended the throne, which means that he is different from other palace people who serve the emperor, and has an unusually intimate relationship with the little emperor.

Uncle Yue's nasal voice is a bit soft, he can't act like a baby to the Empress Dowager Zhang, but it's okay to treat himself as a close companion: "I think the Empress Mother wants to push me to Huangquan Road earlier, although She always said it was for my sake, but it was only for the sake of the Zhang family behind her. Even if there is no Supreme Emperor, there will be a Zhang family on my head. When the time comes, my relatives will be monopolized, not as good as the emperor's uncle. Anyway, it is still my wife. Uncle's country."

Before Xue Cheng could reply, Grand Uncle Yue went on to say, "Furthermore, if I really married the granddaughter of Taifu Zhang, the second daughter of General Li, and favored them to give birth to the emperor's heir, maybe I will marry you the next day." My life is gone. Sometimes I really think, could it be that the queen mother really had an affair with the emperor's uncle, otherwise, how could the emperor's uncle step down from the throne and leave us mother and child alone, and the mother queen sometimes seems to want me to go die."

Taishu Yue's temper was as suspicious as his biological father. Although Zhang Shi was his biological mother, the attitude of the other party really made him a little dissatisfied.What's more, after learning the way of being an emperor for so many years, he is not the ignorant and ignorant child at the beginning, he already has his own unique judgment ability.

"Bah, bah, bah!" The honest-looking young man spit three times in a hurry, and covered the emperor's mouth with his hands, "Your Highness, please don't say such unlucky words, this servant feels very distressed. Empress Dowager It's always for your sake, but sometimes she's too impatient, and the Zhang family is behind her, so she doesn't think so much. In any case, the servant is always on your side."

The little emperor vomited some bitterness at him and wanted to go to bed. After his uncle fell into a deeper sleep, Xue Cheng, who was looking at him, put down the bright yellow dragon tent. His obsidian-like quiet eyes were originally very gentle, but at this moment But it was extraordinarily gloomy, and the flickering candlelight reflected on this barely handsome face, making his complexion look a little more gloomy for no reason.

No matter what the great uncle Yue and the Queen Mother Zhang thought, the sun in the sky showed a little bit, and everywhere in the palace began to get busy, checking the stage and checking the stage again and again, and the troupe sent to sing the opera had to be rejected Eunuchs or maids searched up and down, and all kinds of cold snacks in the imperial dining room had to be poisoned by special palace people before serving them, and all safety measures were checked again and again.

Everyone's face was tense, if there was even a slight mistake, Long Yan would be furious, and the palace servants like them would be the ones who would be unlucky.Around dusk, officials and princes and nobles all took their seats.

When the sun was setting on the mountainside, the Supreme Emperor, who was the birthday star, entered his seat. As soon as he came, all civil and military officials stood up to congratulate him. Pei Qinghong glanced at the Supreme Emperor when everyone looked up. The other party was still wearing The white jade mask that covered most of his face had a mysterious and majestic appearance.Sensing the other party's gaze, he quickly lowered his head, acting like a gentle, respectful and frugal young man.

I don't know if it's his illusion, the father-in-law Chang Xiuchang who served in front of the Supreme Emperor always looked at him with strange eyes, and when he looked away, the other party was still the same as before, unable to see Something unusual.

The father-in-law with a high-pitched voice dragged the tune for a long time, and read one by one the treasures presented to the Supreme Emperor by officials and relatives of the emperor according to the long list.

There were no surprises in this link, and the rest was just a few simple words of blessing to the birthday star, and those who gave the gift had to say a few words about the gift along the way.Officials from poorer families mostly used homemade gifts, said some auspicious words that would not violate taboos, and just passed by one by one.

Pei Qinghong couldn't compare to those talented literati in terms of poetry, so he also said some panacea-style blessings, and then briefly introduced a few words about the rarity of the military binoculars, then sat down and waited for the stage to start. play.

Under the influence of Mrs. Ye, in this life, he still has some research on this, but he has always lacked interest.Many princes and nobles around him watched with relish, but he could only try his best to keep his upper and lower eyelids from fighting so hard.

In the middle of the babbling opera, the surroundings of Pei Qinghong suddenly fell silent. Pei Qinghong quickly woke up from the drowsy state, and quickly learned from the words and sentences of the people around him that the person who was in the rumor and The empress dowager, who had an affair with the emperor, took advantage of this festive day to suddenly attack the emperor!
