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

Ji Heng couldn't feel the change in the atmosphere after he entered the palace, but he felt that after living for so many years, the only thing that has improved is that his face has become thicker, so he can keep calm in everything.

He pretended to be stupid and acted like he didn't know that others were looking at him. He just calmly looked around to find someone. He wanted to find Zhao Zhili, but he saw that there were already twenty or so high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the large hall. , and some young people who are still young, high-ranking officials are all wearing court dresses, and most of the young people have no official positions, so they dress very brightly, which makes Ji Heng feel surprised.With so many people coming and going, it is very difficult to find the person you want to find for a while.

He hadn't found Zhao Zhili yet, but he was blocked by Xu Xuan who was walking over. Ji Heng bowed his hands to him politely, "His Royal Highness, you are polite."

Xu Xuan went abroad to lead soldiers for several years, although he also made progress in other aspects, but Ji Heng felt that he had learned to turn a handsome face into an iron plate, and Xu Xuan lightly returned Ji Heng's salute, saying , "I haven't seen each other recently, will you end up in Chunwei this time?"

Ji Heng smiled and said, "Exactly, Mr. Lao is paying attention."

Xu Xuan didn't have anything to say, he didn't have anything to say to Ji Heng at first, but seeing Ji Heng was there, he always wanted to come over and talk to him, that's why he blocked him like this, now he has nothing to say, I had no choice but to remain silent.

Ji Heng was always smiling slightly. Seeing Lord Ji talking to several other ministers, he and Xu Xuan politely pleaded guilty, went to Lord Ji's side, and had a good relationship with Lord Ji Let's salute.

The palace music is melodious in the palace, the incense is wafting, and the beautiful Lantern Festival lanterns are hung under the eaves, embellishing the Fengxiang Palace as if in a fairyland. Fruits and wine stored in the palace were also put on the table.

Ji Heng never found Zhao Zhili, and then he suddenly realized that Zhao Zhili probably didn't come into the palace.

Therefore, although Ji Heng said that he was neither sad nor happy, and did not have any special mood swings, he still thought in his mind that the Zhao family was such a big and behemoth-like family in the past, and now it is really tired.

But when you think of the Rongguo Mansion and Ningguo Mansion in Dream of the Red Chamber, the buildings collapsed as soon as they were encountered.Everything is just an idea of ​​the emperor.

After a while, the palace music stopped, and the penetrating voice of the eunuch singing, "The emperor is here!"

So everyone stopped talking, knelt down neatly according to their positions, greeted the emperor, and shouted long live three times, the voice might be able to reach the other side of Penglai Pond.

Ji Heng was by Master Ji's side, so he was at the front, and he could hear the rubbing sound of the emperor's dragon boots on the carpet, and then he sat down, and the emperor said something, and the singing eunuch sang again , "The family of all the ministers is free from courtesy and flat, and is given a seat."

So it was another mountain shout of thanks.

Ji Heng bowed his body and got up with Mr. Ji and sat down behind the desk. This is a very long table, and there are many people sitting on it. The supply is also limited, and there is nothing to eat. Even if there are so many people around, it is very stressful. Most people may only taste a piece of cake, and some drink directly without eating anything.

Ji Heng also didn't eat anything, he was already full before entering the palace from home, and now he was just sitting in a well-behaved manner, even the emperor didn't look at him.

The emperor glanced at him several times, and saw that Ji Heng was just sitting there staring at the board on the table, thinking, the last time he got close to him in the palace, has it been so long? Are you still angry?

The emperor was a bit frustrated, but there was a gentle smile on his face. The ministers sitting in front of him were all ministers who had a lot of contact with the emperor. These ministers knew that no matter how gentle the emperor's smile was, he might turn his face and deny anyone in an instant. So even at the palace banquet, everyone is cautious and restrained, absolutely not daring to be presumptuous.

Then the emperor said a lot of high-sounding words, and then even praised many people, gave wine, and then waved his hand, and the palace servants rushed to deliver the decree, and the beautiful and graceful dancer of the music workshop came to the palace, As the palace music sounded, they began to dance around.

At this time, the emperor summoned some people to speak in front of him. Most of these people were with their sons and nephews. The emperor would ask these young people about their situation. A few words of praise, and some rewards, so that they will work hard for the court, the country, and the people in the future. After spending a lot of time in this way, the emperor kept looking at Ji Heng, and found that Ji Heng was watching the dancer dance, with a very serious expression on his face. Concentrated, without blinking, the emperor began to feel jealous.

He couldn't sit still any longer, so he got up to leave, but let the ministers play on their own, the dancer's dance stopped, and everyone got up and knelt down to send the emperor off.

Everything was just a ceremony, and when the emperor left, the eunuchs sang salutes to get everyone up.

Just as Ji Heng sat down again, Zhang Hesheng, who was very important to the emperor, asked a little eunuch to call him. Ji Heng had no choice but to follow the little eunuch to the outside of the hall. Zhang Hesheng was waiting for him outside, with a hand in his hand A thick cloak, and when he saw him, he bowed and said, "Young Master Ji, the emperor welcomes you."

Ji Heng frowned in his heart, but said calmly on his face, "I don't know what's the matter with the emperor?"

Zhang Hesheng found out that Ji Heng didn't want to go, so he hurriedly said, "How does this servant know, Mr. Ji, you should go with the servant."

Ji Heng paused for a moment and had no choice but to follow.

Zhang Hesheng also carefully put on the cloak for Ji Heng. This is a very luxurious and beautiful sable fur cloak, and it is still new. Ji Heng was a little hesitant, but it was not easy to push back and forth with an inner eunuch. Instead, the people in the temple peeped furtively, so they had no choice but to put on their clothes and go with him.

Ji Heng was taken directly to the Emperor's Qilin Palace. Ji Heng knew that if he left, he might not be able to get rid of his reputation as a lucky minister. He was very angry, but he could only hold back.

Afterwards, I even had to think that even such peerless talents as Wei Qing and Huo Qubing would be passed down by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty according to the unofficial biography. I found the shadow in "Legend of Ning Xing"...

Even though Ji Heng comforted himself in this way, he still couldn't suppress his anger in the end.

When they arrived at the Qilin Hall, the emperor who had taken the first step had already changed out of the emperor's regular uniform and put on a more casual Confucian shirt, looking like a scholar.

Seeing Ji Heng coming in, he smiled and said, "Junqing, it's not too cold all the way here."

It was originally arranged to have a palace sedan chair, but Ji Heng didn't sit on it. Ji Heng ignored his ingratiating greeting and wanted to kneel down to salute. The very winking one had already retreated quietly and without a sound. Ji Heng wanted to break free because of his anger, but the emperor took advantage of the situation to hoop him, and almost dragged him into the inner bedroom, Ji Heng could bear it at first, but now he couldn't bear it anymore. As soon as he was put down by the emperor, he staggered the emperor. The emperor stood still, and looked at Ji Heng again, feeling aggrieved and dazed.

Ji Heng stood straight in front of the emperor, and said, "Your majesty, it's fine for you to announce me to enter the palace, why do you announce me to come in front of so many ministers? Although I really can't get this face for a long time, but It is even more unbearable to be visited and suspected by everyone like this. What do you mean?"

But the emperor acted innocent and said, "I definitely don't want to make you look bad, I just want to talk to you."

Ji Heng stared at him, he was not a three-year-old child, so naturally he would not be moved by his words, the emperor stretched out his hand to pull him again, and said, "Your father handed over the matter of coastal defense and the settlement of pirates." The brochure came up, I read it for a whole day, and thought it was a good idea, so I thought, you must have discussed it with your father, so I thought of passing it on to you to explain it to me carefully. The words in this brochure, I It's still a little blurry in places."

When it came to business, Ji Heng couldn't keep getting angry, so he accepted the emperor's pull, went to sit down on the couch, and started talking to the emperor with the booklet the emperor handed him.

Because there was only one booklet, it was very inconvenient for the two of them to sit on both sides of the small table on the couch to read. The emperor sat on the same side as Ji Heng, and had close contact with Ji Heng again. Ji Heng was very annoyed, but But there is nothing to do with such an emperor.

The emperor's eyes were clear and straight, and he definitely didn't have any lewd thoughts, but Ji Heng would still feel annoyed if he blatantly ate Ji Heng's tofu.

Ji Heng talked for a while, and the emperor also listened carefully. Not only did he listen carefully, but he also asked Ji Heng to take a pen to write a thick note. They all reported from outside the curtain, saying that the palace banquet was over, all the ministers also sent out the palace gate, and the palace gate was naturally closed, and Ji Heng couldn't even leave the palace if he wanted to.

Ji Heng drank at night, although he didn't drink too much, but his capacity for alcohol was not good at all, he was always in a state of drunkenness, and at this time he talked too much with the emperor, his mouth became very parched , drank several cups of tea, got up to change clothes.

Knowing his physical condition, the emperor waved him to clean the room without saying anything about letting the palace servants come in to serve him.

After Ji Heng solved the problem, he stood by the screen in the clean room and looked at the picture of plum, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum on the screen. He already understood in his heart that the relationship between himself and the emperor had entered a dead end, and it would be difficult to go back. Yes, unless you break through the wall.

Ji Heng was actually a little dizzy because of those slight drunkenness. He couldn't help but think of the eleventh lady of the Xu family. He thought, if the emperor has an eleventh lady, will he continue to pester him.

The third sister entered the palace and became the emperor's concubine. Although Ji Heng didn't feel that the emperor was his brother-in-law at all, this kind of status did exist. Ji Heng felt even more unbearable when he thought of the emperor pestering him like this. This feeling oppressed him, working together with the alcohol in his body, making it unbearable for him.

The emperor was a little worried when he found out that Ji Heng hadn't come out of the clean room. He walked to the door and asked Ji Heng through the screen, "Junqing, are you okay?"

Ji Heng came out from behind the screen, followed the emperor out of the clean room, stood in the bedroom and said, "Your Majesty, I drank some wine tonight, and my energy is not enough. I'm afraid I won't be able to discuss with the emperor all night. I'm going out of the palace now." The gate of the palace has also fallen down, unable to go out, I begged the emperor to reward me with an empty room to sleep for one night."

The emperor was tall and straight. Standing in front of him, he could already hear the coldness and repulsion in Ji Heng's words, so he said, "Since you are already tired, let's rest. I will have someone come in to serve you."

Ji Heng bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I dare not stay overnight in the emperor's bedroom. The one who can stay here is not your majesty's concubine. What is it for me to stay in the bed where the concubine has slept before?" .”

The emperor was stunned for a moment, and he glanced at the dragon bed. The big bed in the master bedroom in the Qilin Palace was replaced by a big Babu bed according to the emperor's request. A Babu bed is like a small room, with The bed, even a dressing table, and drawers, etc., are beautifully set up and very practical. Of course, it is not convenient for the palace servants to wait for the emperor to get up and down, but the emperor likes to have such a bed, which is a small world for him and his loved ones .

The emperor knew what Ji Heng meant, and Ji Heng didn't say a word all night without a sense of rejection, which made the emperor sad, and he said, "I understand what you mean, although I want to say that this bed is new, except for me, No one has ever slept on it, but that's not what you want to say. Do you think that I treat you as a concubine, so you are not happy, or you think that I have another concubine, and you are not happy, yes ."

Ji Heng said expressionlessly, "Your Majesty, you should have your concubine. I have nothing to be unhappy about, but I am a courtier, and I have no intention of having anything to do with the emperor, so please don't treat me as a concubine." The concubine uses it."

The emperor stood upright, like a mountain, very handsome and majestic, but it seemed like a small earthquake was about to collapse, his voice even trembled a little, and he said softly, "You are my son! Queen. I only spoil you in this life."

He spoke lightly because he lacked confidence and knew that Ji Heng would not agree.

Ji Heng not only refused to agree this time, but even smiled wryly, "Your Majesty, I am a man. Besides, can I compete with my sister for a man?"

Ji Heng knew that if he said this, the third sister would not be of any benefit, but he still said it, and then felt a little painful. The emperor suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled him into his arms. The emperor had his own love in his heart. Stubborn, when he never thought that Ji Heng's body had such a perfect defect, he felt that he should respect Ji Heng, the two were destined to each other, but knowing Ji Heng's physical condition, the emperor thought stubbornly, Ji Heng exists exclusively for him, because if Ji Heng is not a man, he cannot enter the palace to accompany him as a companion, and if he does not accompany him, the emperor will not know him, and will not fall in love with him. The emperor thought, isn’t this bestowed upon him by the heavens, to let him enter the palace as a man so that he can know him, and he can use his daughter as his wife.

The emperor whispered, "I gave the eldest prince to your sister to raise. I have never favored her before, and I will never do so in the future. As long as you promise me to enter the palace to be the queen, I will find a way to give you the status and settle this matter." It's done seamlessly."

Ji Heng thought that the emperor was already crazy, and if he was with him like this again, he might also be infected by him.
