Ning Chen Ling Xiao

The weather is getting cooler, and the Mid-Autumn Festival in the imperial city is just in time. Chu Yifeng took the post from the Ministry of Rites and handed it to Ling Xiao: "Look, this is the name given to the little prince by the Ministry of Rites. If you are knowledgeable, let's see which one is the best."

It will be the little prince's hundredth day soon, and on that day, there will be a three-day feast as usual, and the nobles in the imperial city and the ministers of the court will be invited to order, because now Chu Yifeng is still in the filial piety, Chu Yifeng made an exception, and only allowed a one-day banquet .

The name of the little prince was about to be decided on the hundredth day, and Chu Yifeng hesitated for a long time with the three sent by the Ministry of Rites, and still wanted to ask Ling Xiao what he meant.

Chu Yifeng's generation is Yizi generation, and the little prince's generation is Yuzi generation. The eldest son of King Hui is called Chu Yuming.

Ling Xiao took the post. This is Chu Yifeng's eldest son, and the whole country attaches great importance to it. The Ministry of Rites racked their brains to come up with four names for Chu Yifeng to choose, Chu Yuyu, Chu Yuren, Chu Yukai, and Chu Yuao.There are many allusions and good meanings behind each name, all of which are not bad, Chu Yifeng chose for a long time and didn't know which one was better, and the Queen Mother didn't care, saying that the child was his and let him decide.

Ling Xiao looked at it for a long time, then smiled: "It's all good...but all..."

Chu Yifeng smiled: "You can't be sure to pay attention, why don't you think about it again?"

"Yu..." Ling Xiao pondered, "Yu... Yu, Chu Yuyu."

Chu Yifeng repeated it a few times, and said with a smile: "Okay, it sounds nice, so let's call it Chu Yuyu. You don't need to explain it to me by citing scriptures, and I don't understand it either. Just this." He wrote the three characters Chu Yuyu on the post and handed it over. To the servant, "Go, send it to the Ministry of Rites."

After finishing their business, the two went to Fenghua Palace to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager was leaning on the ebony imperial concubine couch in the inner room to read a book. Come eat with me."

"Yes." Ling Xiao agreed, and smiled, "How is the little prince these days?

The Empress Dowager nodded, caressing the golden silk peony on her temples, said with a smile: "The little prince is very good, and he doesn't cry too much, just like Feng'er when he was a child, not a tiring one."

Chu Yifeng smiled: "It's good to be honest, I'm afraid that the queen mother will be tired." The queen mother shook her head and smiled: "Is the hundred-day banquet ready? Although it is in the filial piety, it is the eldest son of the emperor. What should be handled is still to be handled." Get up, don't lose face to our heavenly family."

"The Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Internal Affairs have already submitted all the affairs that should be handled that day." Ling Xiao knew that Chu Yifeng must have not read it, so he quickly took over the conversation and said with a smile, "The emperor has read it carefully, and I have read it too." Well, there's nothing missing."

The Queen Mother nodded: "That's good. This child has suffered a lot since he was born. I always thought that I should love him a little more. By the way..."

The queen mother thought for a while and smiled: "The next day will be the hundred days of the pheasant's children, right? If I remember the date correctly, you can go out of the palace that day, Xiao'er, and send me some things. He just said that when she was confinement, he would bring her and the children into the palace to show me. One thing after another, how can I take care of it? You can talk to Zhi'er for me, and wait a hundred years. Let her go to the palace in the future, I haven't seen the children yet."

"Auntie has a good memory." Ling Xiao smiled, "In the future, I will thank Auntie for the reward on behalf of Chier."

"When I went to look in the library, I found a few pieces of satin, which are just right for you to wear, and they have already been sent to Chengqian Palace for you." Nephew, it’s all fine satin, you like it.”

Ling Xiao hurriedly got up to salute, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Auntie, for the reward."

During the conversation, it was time to share the meal, and the three of them did not mention the meal.The day after tomorrow, Ling Xiao went out of the palace, and brought Chu Yifeng and the queen mother's reward to Shifu to congratulate him.

A few days later, we arrived at the emperor's eldest son Bairi. They said it was a family banquet. The House of Internal Affairs received the Queen Mother's instruction, and it could be said to be luxurious. Ling Xiao came a step late because he had to sort out the paperwork that was going to be sent out in the morning. When he arrived In the main hall, only the queen mother has not come yet, Ling Xiao sighed in his heart, tomorrow the group of censors will talk about it again, this is Chu Yifeng's first banquet after he ascended the throne, Ling Xiao didn't dare to attend the banquet easily, and was just about to ask the eunuchs When I took my seat, I saw Eunuch Zhang walking over.

Ling Xiao entered the main hall through the side door. Chu Yifeng had good eyes and saw it immediately. He turned his head and gave a few words to Zhang Gonggong who was beside him. The emperor is afraid that you don't know where your seat is, so let the servants take you there."

Ling Xiao nodded, and as Eunuch Zhang entered the table, Ling Xiao paused looking at his seat, then turned his head and said in a low voice: "Is this the seat arranged for me by the emperor, or the seat arranged by the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"

"It's the meaning of the emperor, so naturally it's the meaning of the House of Internal Affairs." Eunuch Zhang smiled, "You don't need to worry too much, Zi Junhou. The emperor has been waiting for a long time, so hurry up and take the seat."

The seat that Chu Yifeng arranged for Ling Xiao was very good, he still remembered the rules he set in the north, no matter what the occasion, as long as there was a seat for Chu Yifeng, there must be a seat for Ling Xiao first under Chu Yifeng.

Ling Xiao walked slowly to his seat and sat down, turned his head and whispered to Chu Yifeng: "Aren't you afraid that the censor will talk about it tomorrow morning?"

"It's nothing." Chu Yifeng is in a good mood, and he has calmed down after being scolded several times by the speaker, "They said it once, and if I don't change it, they will stop talking. You sit far away from me, I'm afraid I'll forget it later Ci'er, remind me a bit."

Ling Xiao chuckled: "I obey the order."

Not long after, the queen mother also came, and everyone saluted before sitting down. The queen mother seemed to have not noticed that Ling Xiao's seat was not suitable, exchanged a few words with everyone, turned her head and smiled at Ling Xiao: "A few days ago, the child's hundred How about the banquet?"

"Very good." Ling Xiao stood up and bowed, "Both adults and children are well. Sister She asked the minister to kneel down on her behalf to thank the Queen Mother for her reward. After a few days, I will send a post to the palace to greet the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother nodded with a smile: "Let her choose a good weather and bring the child with her."

Ling Xiao nodded: "Yes."

Chu Yifeng watched Ling Xiao sit down and laughed softly: "Look, the queen mother doesn't say anything."

Ling Xiao turned to look at Chu Yifeng, Chu Yifeng was not afraid of the officials at all, he was just worried that the queen mother would have objections when he saw it, but now he didn't care when he saw the queen mother, and finally he was relieved, and he couldn't help showing some children's looks after they succeeded in doing bad things Complacent, Ling Xiao looked funny, lowered his head and said softly: "Okay, a little majestic, don't always look at me."

"Yeah." Chu Yifeng lowered his head to drink, but couldn't help but look at Ling Xiao from time to time.

Not long after, the queen mother ordered the nuns to carry the little prince out, and ordered the Minister of Rites to read out the name given to the prince, saying a lot of good meanings in it, and the old and virtuous elders of the clan came to hug each other He hugged the little prince, said a lot of auspicious words, shaved his hair and put it in the brocade box.

The little prince is doing well today, he has been tossed about for a long time and he never cried, he gave in to anyone who hugged him, but he kept turning his head to look at this and that, this was the first time anyone in court saw the little prince, who originally questioned the little prince's lineage People are also resting now, the three-month-old child has grown a little bit, the eyes and nose are too similar to Chu Yifeng, at first glance they are father and son, but the eyebrows are a little sharper, the lips are thin, and there is nothing wrong with it. Chu Yifeng is kind.

After going through all the procedures, the little prince was already a little unhappy. He pursed his lips and wanted to cry, but the queen mother smiled and said, "I'm afraid you're hungry? Come, let me have a look."

The nanny carried the little prince over, the queen mother coaxed him to be carried to the back, and said with a smile: "The palace is also exhausted in the middle of the day, everyone has a wide seat, I will take Yu'er back to the palace first." Ling Xiao knew that the Queen Mother was worried about the little prince, so he stopped persuading him.

Everyone heard the words and quickly got up to send the Queen Mother off. Chu Yifeng and Ling Xiao sent the Queen Mother to the gate of the hall. The Queen Mother patted Chu Yifeng's hand lightly: "Okay, go back, don't drink too much." Then turned to Ling Xiao He said with a smile, "Xiao'er too, drink less."

The two quickly responded, and watched the queen mother leave before returning to the palace to return to their seats. Chu Yifeng scanned the meals on his table, and then glanced at the table in front of Ling Xiao: braised hoof knuckles, pearl balls, pork belly with plum vegetables, etc. There is a Confucian first-grade pot, Chu Yifeng nodded, yes, Ling Xiao doesn't eat it.

Chu Yifeng knows Ling Xiao's habits best. Ling Xiao is not a picky eater. A picky eater will at least eat a bite or two if he doesn't like it. But if Ling Xiao doesn't like it, he won't eat even a bite.

Chu Yifeng looked at the dishes on his case, and said with a smile: "This five-flavored dried shredded rice dish is very good. I remember that Zi Junhou likes this the most. Thank you."

Ling Xiao paused, and quickly got up to thank him. Looking at the dishes that Eunuch Zhang brought up, he felt amused, toss, toss, toss, let the censor scold him tomorrow if you have enough toss, then pick up the chopsticks and pick up the vegetables, and look at those His Highness who wish to take him out The veteran who was pulled down from the seat and strangled to death chuckled, hate it, what else can you do besides scolding me in your heart?

After the banquet, Chu Yifeng still drank a little too much, Eunuch Zhang and the two young eunuchs couldn't support him, but Ling Xiao had no choice but to support him himself, and when he entered Chengqian Palace and closed the palace gate, Ling Xiao directly carried Chu Yifeng into the bedroom.

After both of them washed up, it was midnight, Ling Xiao turned off the palace lantern halfway, went to bed, looked at Chu Yifeng's flushed face and chuckled, "He will make trouble for me..." Ling Xiao lay down, and Chu Yifeng habitually Turning over and sticking his head into Ling Xiao's arms, he hugged Ling Xiao a few times and fell asleep again.

The next day, no official came in to say what happened at the prince's hundred-day banquet last night, which surprised Ling Xiao. It shouldn't be... What's wrong?Are you used to it or do you know that no one listens to you when you say it, so you don’t bother to say it?

No matter what it was for, no one mentioned it, and Ling Xiao didn't care. He didn't know it was waiting for him on the third day when he thought it was over.

Ling Xiao looked at the new batch of young eunuchs and chuckled, and said to Mr. Zhang, "Is this from the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"

Eunuch Zhang nodded: "Yes, last time, Lord Hou, you said that the young eunuchs who served the emperor's pen and ink were too dull, so I asked the old slave to choose some to come up. The old slave told the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs that they were not sent just today. "

Ling Xiao looked at the handsome boy and smiled lightly: "Not bad, not bad...all good."

Zhang Gonggong was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He felt that something was wrong when it was delivered today. How could this group of eunuchs be so juicy?Someone must be a ghost, he thought that Ling Xiao must have something to say, so he didn't have an attack, but Ling Xiao didn't seem to notice it.

Ling Xiao turned his head to look at Chu Yifeng, and said with a smile, "May I take a look, Your Majesty?"

Chu Yifeng also noticed something strange, seeing the smile in Ling Xiao's eyes and the corners of his mouth slightly twitched, he couldn't help but twitched in his heart, swallowed and said, "I don't see... it's not very good, look at Zi Junhou... I'd better pick it up again." Make a batch."

"Really..." Ling Xiao chuckled, "I think it's pretty good."

A few days ago, Ling Xiao was so angry that he was suppressed by the government. Seeing the little eunuchs serving pens and inks in the palace was also annoying, so he asked Zhang Gonggong to say that he wanted to change the batch, thinking that he was not serving meals, so he didn’t have to be honest , I can save myself some worry by choosing some more clever ones. I didn't expect that the Ministry of Internal Affairs would dare to send such a group of goblins just after the word was released.

Ling Xiao walked down the golden steps of the Panlong, gently raised the chin of a little eunuch, and smiled: "Leave it, there is no need to pick any more...Look at this child's looks, a pair of affectionate almond eyes, two curved eyebrows, really beautiful!" nice……"

Ling Xiao chuckled, he had wanted to clean up the House of Internal Affairs a long time ago, but unfortunately he hadn't made room for it and hadn't found a reason, no, he bumped into it himself.
