The identity of the direct son - Xu I's prosperous world

Brother Heng went back to the hall, the elder Li Ge was already the biggest in the hall, many people surrounded him and complimented him.

Of course, there are several generations of big family heads with hairpin tassels in it, who disdain Li Ge's behavior very much, and drink happily by themselves.

The singing and dancing on the opposite stage has changed several times, but the sound of music is still lively.

The emperor didn't keep the ministers for too long, and before the moon was in the middle of the sky, he said that he could leave. Mr. Ji and Brother Heng didn't stay too long, so he left first.

While in the carriage, Lord Ji asked Brother Heng who was sitting opposite him, "The emperor went to look for you, did you say anything?"

Brother Heng looked at Mr. Ji, his mind had turned for a while, and he asked, "Father, do you have any relationship with the emperor?"

Although the little emperor had to sit in the Xuanzheng Hall every three days in the early court, but in fact, the court was only for Mr. Li Ge, and the little emperor did not have any decision-making power over government affairs.

Brother Heng didn't understand how Master Ji and the little emperor hooked up.In Brother Heng's eyes, although Lord Ji is very good at being an official, he is not a big figure in the court, and he is not outstanding. In the heart of the little emperor, Lord Ji is probably not someone who can play a major role.

Mr. Ji knew that his son was smart, but he didn't expect him to see these things so clearly. He pondered for a moment before saying, "We'll talk about it when we get back." Then he closed his eyes and rested his mind.

Brother Heng also fell silent.

Back at Ji Mansion, Brother Heng followed Mr. Ji directly to the study room. Mr. Ji closed the door of the study room before going to sit behind the desk, and let Mr. Heng sit on the chair before he said, "Yi Gui was the first The empress dowager meant that Yi Gui was not allowed to be buried in the imperial mausoleum, and she was not given a posthumous title. It started with Ping Guogong, and I followed suit. After all, Yi Gui was the emperor's biological mother, and she was given to the emperor The emperor was buried with him, how can he be buried in a poor way. In the end, the queen mother had no choice but to agree, and named Yi noble as a noble concubine. Two years later, one time, it was also at a palace banquet. I was walking by the garden and ran into the emperor. I didn't expect him to remember my writing and thank me, the emperor was only nine years old at that time. Hey..."

Lord Ji let out a sigh of relief, probably because he felt that the little emperor was very difficult.

Brother Heng was also slightly moved. From today's dinner, it can be seen that the little emperor is not a useless dude. It doesn't seem real, but what happened to the little emperor, it's just a one-sided relationship, so it's impossible to judge.

As for Master Ji, he has a connection with the emperor, and he really wants to send himself to the emperor's side to read with him.

Master Ji is doing this for the emperor, loyalty to the emperor is one of them, and he also intends to gain power from the emperor.Now when it comes to the prosperity of power, it is naturally Mr. Li Ge and Uncle Zhao Guo, but both of them made a mistake. Not as useful as they imagined.Master Ji wanted to invest in the little emperor and keep the little emperor, and when he came to power in the future, it would naturally pay off.

Brother Heng said, "Father, is it an appointment with you that the emperor went to see me today?"

Master Ji's eyes showed deep meaning, he looked at his son and nodded, "He is going to visit you on purpose."

Hearing this tone, Lord Ji was not sure why the emperor went to him. If he thought about it, there was only one reason, and that was to see how he was doing.

An 11-year-old child with such a deep mind, presumably can survive until the future to take charge of the government.

Brother Heng thought about this, and said, "The emperor didn't say anything today, he just asked me whose family's child I am and what my name is. I said I belong to the family of Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Punishment, and my name is Ji Heng. How many people are around the emperor?" The Huangmen officer followed, thinking that it was not suitable for him to speak to me directly if he had anything to say, and later the eldest son of Uncle Zhao's family came to ask the emperor to go to the queen mother, and the emperor left."

Master Ji nodded, "Well, let's wait for the final result."

Afterwards, Lord Ji didn't say anything more, and asked Brother Heng to go back to the inner courtyard to rest.

Master Ji is still very satisfied with Brother Heng's performance in the palace. After all, Brother Heng is still young and it is his first time entering the palace. It is rare to be able to answer questions in an orderly manner without saying anything wrong. Even when facing the emperor, he can be calm and peaceful.

Although he was quite satisfied with Brother Heng, Mr. Ji, who was strict with his son, did not praise Heng Brother, and everything was very flat.

Brother Heng went back to the inner courtyard by himself. The family had already held a Mid-Autumn Festival banquet at night. Now that the moon is in the sky, there are no people who are still sitting in the courtyard watching the moon.

It was mid-autumn season, and it was quite cold at night, Brother Heng walked into the main courtyard, and a maid caught him at the door, and someone ran into the main room, Xu Shi and Xu Qilang came out to welcome him.

The imperial palace cannot be called a dragon's pool and a tiger's den. Brother Heng, who has been inside for a while, did not regard this as a big deal, but in Xu's eyes, this is a big deal, after all, the palace is not an ordinary place As the wife of a third-rank official, Mrs. Xu has a third-rank imperial order, but Master Ji is not close to the Zhao family, the empress dowager's natal family. Naturally, Mrs. Xu has no chance to be called into the palace by the queen mother. Xu's treatment of the palace is naturally very embarrassing. Have longing.

Mrs. Xu walked over quickly, bent down and held Brother Heng's hand, and found that Brother Heng's hand was cold, so she quickly brought him into the room. The room was much warmer than outside, and Brother Heng I sneezed a few times when I went in.

While handing him the handkerchief, Mrs. Xu asked, "How is it? I'm fine in the palace."

Brother Heng sniffed, "It's nothing. I just drank a few glasses of wine and looked a little drunk."

Mrs. Xu looked at him left and right, and the more she looked at him, the more she fell in love with him. She smiled and said, "How about the wine in the palace?"

Xu Qilang followed him, and also smiled at Brother Heng. Brother Heng shook his head and said, "When I was not in Yangzhou, the peach blossom stuffed daughter red at my uncle's house was delicious. Everything I ate was cold, and the moon cakes were not delicious." It’s delicious, but the wine is cold, even if it’s warmed up, it’s still cold when served on the table.”

Xu Qilang said proudly, "Lianghuai salt merchants, a wealthy family, use finer salt than the palace. Many people have said this. The wine at home is better than the wine in the palace. It's normal."

Brother Heng looked at him, "You never know how to restrain your mouth."

Xu Qilang smiled and said, "Anyway, this is in front of you and your aunt."

Mrs. Xu stretched out her hand and patted Xu Qilang on the shoulder, "Qilang, Brother Heng is right, you should pay attention, and restrain yourself when you should restrain yourself."

Xu Qilang agreed embarrassingly, but everyone knew that he would not restrain himself the next time he made a foul mouth.

Before Brother Heng entered the palace, he had already eaten something, but after walking around the palace, it was very laborious and he was hungry again.

Mrs. Xu asked someone to bring some mooncakes for him to eat, and cut the mooncakes into small pieces for him, saying, "The mooncakes at home are made of Jinhua ham. This ham was brought by your uncle a month ago." , This is the same as what was paid to the palace, but, how could the palace be willing to use this to make ham and put it on the palace banquet? I know that most of the palace banquets are for viewing, and there are one or two things to eat. They are all made in big pots, and after traveling such a long distance to deliver them to the table of the palace banquet, they have already been cold, so what else can we eat."

Brother Heng looked at Mrs. Xu with a smile. It was probably the luckiest thing in his life to have a mother like Mrs. Xu, so he would not do anything to disappoint her.

Although Mr. Ji likes him very much now, in Brother Heng's heart, Mr. Ji is still the same Mr. Ji who abandoned him back then. He likes him now only because he is useful.Master Ji's position in his heart is not even as important as Uncle Xu's.

Brother Heng took two bites of mooncakes, thought of something, and said, "Mother, father is in the front yard, you can also send some food."

Xu said, "Do you need to worry about this? Someone sent it away."

Xu didn't send it in person, so it can be seen that she is only a husband and wife to Mrs. Ji, and her real affection is not too heavy.

Brother Heng looked at Xu, and felt sorry for her. For a woman, it is not natural that her son will be happy if her son is obedient. She should also have a husband who loves her very much, but Master Ji is really not such a good man. Husband, Mr. Ji probably never loved Mrs. Xu, or even his concubines in the mansion.

Although in front of outsiders, Master Ji is a model of a good husband. He has never asked for a concubine, has never had a reputation for being romantic, has never had a woman outside, and respects his first wife at home. He is upright and dedicated to his official career, etc. .

Mrs. Xu would not treat one more favorably than another. She cut mooncakes for Brother Heng and then cut them for Xu Qilang. After looking at Brother Heng twice more, I went to rest.

Brother Heng ate something, and told Mrs. Xu that he was very tired, so he told Mrs. Xu to go to rest quickly, and then he went back to the room, washed and went to bed.

Lying on the bed, looking at the top of the bed curtain, Brother Heng couldn't fall asleep very much. The little emperor's deep eyes kept appearing in his mind. When he saw the little emperor at that time, he didn't have any special feelings. Sometimes I think about it like this, but there is always a feeling that I was familiar with him before.

The next day, Xu Qilang and Brother Heng had breakfast by Xu's side and went to school together in the outer courtyard. Xu Qilang dragged Brother Heng and said, "My aunt was here yesterday, so I can't ask. You went to school yesterday. Palace, did you encounter anything special?"

Brother Heng glanced at his face lightly, "If you encounter any special things, you must always behave yourself, otherwise, what do you think a palace banquet is? Can you make trouble?"

When Xu Qilang thought about it, it was indeed the case, and he couldn't help but sighed a little disappointed, and said, "That's no fun."

Brother Heng said, "You are really a child."

Xu Qilang was dissatisfied, "I am older than you."

Brother Heng said, "But you don't know how much younger than me."

Xu Qilang was even more dissatisfied, "Is there any, not at all."

Brother Heng quickly reached out his hand to let him stop pestering him, "It's not a child who said such meaningless words."

Xu Qilang said, "How old are you, you always pretend to be an adult."

Brother Heng blinked, smiled and stopped talking.

Xu Qilang was fascinated by his smile, blushed, and quickly turned his face to look at the sun in the sky, "The weather will be fine today, it's only Mid-Autumn Festival, and the weather is so cold."

The matter of the emperor's accompanying reading was finalized in October, and the son of the uncle's family, Zhao Jiasilang, Zhao Zhili, and the grandson of Duke Ping, who was also the nephew of Concubine Xu, Xu Xuan, who was 12 years old, were selected. He also reported an unpopularity, Ji Heng, the son of the left servant of the Ministry of Punishment, who is less than nine years old.

It is said that at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, the emperor saw that Ji Heng was good-looking, so he asked Mr. Li Ge for it. Although Mr. Li Ge reprimanded him, he later agreed.

The eunuch who passed the decree in the palace came to Jifu to deliver the decree, and Xu knew about it. When she took Brother Heng to the front yard to receive the decree, she was not happy, but shocked. After receiving the decree, she took the emperor She didn't even realize for a moment that she wanted to entertain the eunuch who delivered the edict, because Mr. Ji was still on duty in the yamen and hadn't come back. Only Brother Heng and Mrs. Xu received the order, so Mr. Heng had to pull Mrs. Xu's sleeve secretly , Xu recovered from the shock, quickly said some polite words to warm up the scene, and asked the maid to quickly present the eunuch's thank you gift, and then invited the eunuch to stay for a meal. The eunuch was very polite, no Leave the meal.

After the eunuch left, Mrs. Xu looked at Brother Heng with an angry face. With Mr. Xu's intelligence, she probably guessed that Mr. Heng was taken to the banquet during the Mid-Autumn Festival by Master Ji for more than just a banquet.
