The next day, when the officials just got up, they heard an inexplicable edict issued by the emperor.He actually rewarded a commoner woman with ten million yuan, three hundred slaves, one hundred hectares of public land, and the first district of Jia.He even named this woman Xiuchengjun.

Everyone held the official newspaper in their hands and felt at a loss for a while.After inquiring again and again, I found out that Jin Su was the daughter of the people who were born before the Queen Mother entered the palace, so I couldn't help but laugh.Most people just forget about it after laughing as a chat after dinner.Only those with a keen mind noticed the battle between the emperor and empress again, and couldn't help but lament that His Majesty's methods are becoming more and more fierce.For a moment, everyone even restrained their thoughts, lowered their eyebrows and lowered their eyes to do their errands.Only Princess Pingyang, who was always restless after thinking about it after returning home, was tossing and turning.It wasn't until nightfall that I came up with a solution that wasn't a solution...

"Invite me to be a guest at the Marquis of Pingyang?" Liu Che raised his eyebrows, looking at Princess Pingyang in surprise.

"Exactly, His Majesty has been on the throne for such a long time, and he is always busy with state affairs. The queens and empress dowagers in the palace also have to stop. During this period of time, His Majesty has lost a lot of weight. My sister feels distressed, thinking that if His Majesty is fine Why don't you go to my sister's house and sit down. My sister will make arrangements for you to have fun." Princess Pingyang smiled, and her expression became more and more ambiguous.

It's just that Liu Che didn't pay attention, just shook his head and said: "This is not possible, the emperor also understands, I have just ascended the throne now. Now the court is waiting for prosperity, among other things, the military academy, Mingtang and various places have just begun Jianjian, there are so many things to do every day! How can I have time to have fun! Let’s talk about it later!”

Liu Che said this because it was different from the historical situation.Due to Han Yan's mediation, he himself did not completely offend the Empress Dowager and was shunned by Xuezang Palace.Being ambitious, he naturally couldn't think of having fun, so he declined Princess Pingyang's invitation without thinking.

It's just that Princess Pingyang, who has already made arrangements, can't tolerate Liu Che dismissing him with a single word.Repeatedly persuaded: "This matter cannot be resolved in one day. Besides, there are so many ministers in the court, so it is natural to share the worries for His Majesty. If His Majesty has something to do, let them handle it. Why bother? Your Majesty is young. Yes, you should know how to combine work and rest.”

"I don't critique papers all day long. When I have nothing to do, I also go to Shanglinyuan to hunt and practice with the soldiers. It's just fun. I don't think it's too hard." Liu Che He waved his hand, and for some reason remembered Han Yanlai who had established a military academy outside the city, and his smile deepened.

Listening to Liu Che's words, Princess Pingyang covered her mouth and smiled more and more: "What kind of fun is hunting and training? You big men are all focused on building meritorious deeds. You really don't know what it means to relax. No, if you don't talk about it, you'll be fine." That's all. Since His Majesty said it today, I still have to ask His Majesty to come to my residence, so that His Majesty can know what is the real joy in the world."

Liu Che felt a little curious when he heard Princess Pingyang's secretive words. "Oh, I don't know? So tell me, Huangjie, what is the joy in the world?"

Princess Pingyang smiled and pretended to be suspenseful. "I can't talk about it casually. If it's a pleasure in the world, His Majesty will know it if he enjoys it himself."

Liu Che is a bit stubborn, if you tell him frankly, he might just listen and let it go.The more you pretend to be like this, the more caring he is.Can't help but arouse interest: "I have to give it a try if you tell the emperor to say so. It's also good to let me know what kind of pleasure is more haunting than enjoying in the palace."

"Then your majesty will go with me?" Princess Pingyang said.

Hearing this, Liu Che pondered for a moment.Looking at the unfinished memorials on the case table, they are just trivial things that don't matter.He looked at the sky outside again.Thinking that Han Yan would not be able to come back after leaving Chang'an City for a while.He couldn't help but said in a deep voice: "Okay, let's go!"

Princess Pingyang readily responded, "No!"

Because he was going to Princess Pingyang's mansion, Liu Che didn't bother to prepare for the royal driver.After changing into their regular clothes, and with the necessary guards, the two went to Pingyang Hou Mansion with ease.After Pu got out of the carriage, Liu Che stared at the vermilion gate in front of him and frowned slightly.

"What's the matter, Your Majesty?" Princess Pingyang looked at Liu Che's appearance, and Fox asked.Looking at the door of his house from Liu Che's angle, he couldn't help being startled.Suddenly feel guilty.

[Walls inlaid with royal tribute glazed tiles at the corners of the eaves, the gate with red gold border, and two exquisitely carved squatting faces in front of the gate] The white jade suanni all show the majesty and wealth of the owner of the house.

Liu Che glanced at Princess Pingyang indifferently, and said in a calm tone: "I have issued an edict ordering that the government and the public must follow the ancestral system to build houses, especially the princes and nobles. The imperial sister is my direct sister. Naturally, don’t make things difficult for me.”

Princess Pingyang obediently agreed.But I don't think so in my heart.After all, in terms of violating the rules, no one's house is as exaggerated as Han Yan.It's just that Han Yan's background is strong, supported by the empress dowager and senior military officials, and Liu Che himself doesn't feel anything, so no one dares to speak out to impeach him.

It's just that Princess Pingyang forgot that although the world said that Han Yan's house is exquisite in structure, there are many strange magic in it.But if you really get the ancestral system and comment on it, you really can't tell which violation of the system.Where is it that the building materials that are beyond the rules are used so brightly like her.

Since he was invited out to have fun, Liu Che couldn't say too much.After a brief mention from Princess Pingyang, she entered the Pingyang Hou Mansion at the invitation of Princess Pingyang.

This was Liu Che's second visit to a subject's house since he ascended the throne. Although he had no intention of wandering around, it was inevitable that he would scrutinize him a little more.Different from the elegance and comfort of Xiaohan Mansion, just after entering the gate of Pingyang Hou Mansion, there is a painted wall in front of you.What is painted on it is Double Dragon Playing Pearl.The two giant dragons, which seemed to be about to break free from the wall, were churning up and down on the wall, with ferocious faces, and their four giant claws were slightly opened, showing their majesty.Liu Che stood on this wall and looked at it for a while, before giving a faint compliment: "The painting is not bad."

"But this was painted by the most famous painter in Chang'an City." Princess Pingyang complied with the sentence very proudly.Liu Che frowned slightly when he heard this, and remained silent.

Going around the wall and walking inside, there is an open square.The ground is made of neat white jade, and it even has a warm texture when you step on it on foot.Liu Che looked down at the dragon pattern and phoenix badge faintly appearing on the jade, and said softly: "When the imperial sister repairs this Pingyang Hou's mansion, does she often run to Changxin Palace?"

"That's right, many building materials were collected by the queen mother!" Princess Pingyang smiled coquettishly. "It's all for His Majesty's face. If not, how could this high-quality material get into my sister's hands."

Liu Che answered without hesitation, "Isn't it!"

Keenly aware of Liu Che's displeasure, Princess Pingyang had some understanding in her heart, but she didn't care.I can be regarded as a relative of the emperor, so I really want to live like a beggar.But she didn't want to touch Liu Che's bad luck, so she immediately took Liu Che's hand and walked into the main hall, saying, "I thought you would come today, my sister has already made arrangements."

While speaking, Cao Shou hurried back after receiving the news of His Majesty's visit.Looking up at the sky, he hurriedly ordered the house to prepare the food and wine. Liu Che sat down on his knees, and Cao Shou and Pingyang both accompanied him.

I don’t know if it’s because of Liu Che’s arrival, or it’s been like this before, but the dishes in the Pingyang Marquis Mansion are exquisitely prepared, with everything from mountains and seas to delicacies. It’s just that I’m used to the food in Han Yan’s mansion, and I don’t feel like eating anything else. .So Liu Che only took two bites before putting down the chopsticks.

Pingyang and Cao Shou looked at each other and looked at each other.Ping Yang clapped his hands, and a group of singing girls filed in.Liu Che saw the ambiguous smile on Pingyang's face, but smiled silently.

The silk and bamboo sounded, and the singers in light gauze turned around and sang folk songs towards the table. Their voices were clear and bright, which had a special flavor.A girl in a red silk long dress in the middle is even more melodious, with a clear voice.Liu Che subconsciously took a few more glances.It's okay if you don't look at it, but once you look at it, you feel a little familiar.Especially that long hair that hangs loosely around the waist, which made Liu Che want to touch her.

"What's your name?" Liu Che leaned over and asked with interest.

The singing stopped suddenly, and the woman in the red silk dress knelt nervously and said, "Slave Wei Zifu."

"Wei Zifu?" Liu Che repeated one sentence playfully, and praised, "Good name."

"Her younger brother is the school captain Wei Qing who is currently in charge of training a group of Yulin soldiers in Shanglinyuan." Princess Pingyang said softly from the side.

"Oh!" Liu Che nodded suddenly, no wonder he felt a little familiar!It's just thinking of Wei Qing, especially thinking that he is now living in Xiaohan's Mansion, spending more time with Ah Yan than himself.Immediately, I feel bad, and I feel that it is not so interesting to look at Wei Zifu's charming face...

Princess Pingyang didn't know why Liu Che suddenly became cold.This woman was carefully trained by her according to the habit of selecting beauties by the former chief Taoist and Liu Che's temperament.It doesn't make sense that Liu Che would feel bored, what went wrong...

Suppressing the doubts in her heart, Princess Pingyang waved her hand to signal Wei Zifu to continue singing.

Wei Zifu had no choice but to kneel on the ground and sing slowly: "Shangxie, I want to know you..."

Because he was kneeling, his voice was a bit dull and awkward, and it was completely lacking in the beauty and melody just now, and it actually had a dull feeling.Liu Che became impatient after listening for a while.Waving his hand to interrupt Wei Zifu's singing, Liu Che got up and said, "Okay, it's getting late today, I should go back to the palace."

After a while, Ah Yan should be back.

"Your Majesty—" Princess Pingyang was a little surprised, and quickly got up to persuade: "It's getting late, Your Majesty might as well stay at Pingyang Mansion for one night!"

"How can this be done? There are still a lot of official affairs to be dealt with!" I haven't seen Ah Yan yet, so I can't sleep after scolding at night?

Princess Pingyang had no choice but to watch Liu Che stride away.

He stood outside the door with Cao Shou and waited until Liu Che disappeared.Princess Pingyang returned to the main hall angrily, until Wei Zifu raised her hand in front of Wei Zifu and slapped Wei Zifu across the face.

"Nothing, you wasted such a good opportunity." A cold light flashed in Princess Pingyang's eyes, "My Pingyang Marquis's Mansion doesn't raise waste. From tomorrow, you will work for me at the handyman's office!"

"No!" Wei Zifu held back his tears and said with a bow.

"Get out!" Princess Pingyang pointed at the door and shouted: "From now on, I don't want to see you again!"

"Yes!" Wei Zifu said, under the mocking eyes of all the singers, he hurriedly got up and ran out of the main hall.No one saw it, and in a corner where no one was paying attention, Wei Zifu breathed a sigh of relief...

Although she is a singer with a low status, she is not a woman who is not free from the city's schemes.Now his own brother is worshiping under Han Yan, but who is Han Yan?The grandson of the empress dowager, the best friend of the empress who grew up together.No matter they are all from the queen's lineage, as Qing'er's elder sister, how can she follow the order of Princess Pingyang in a muddle and block her younger brother's official path?

What's more, she has been in Pingyang Hou's Mansion for such a long time, and she has been inquiring about it openly and secretly.Today His Majesty is not satisfied with the actions of the Empress Dowager's mother's family meddling in political affairs at will, and now he has found the Empress Dowager's daughter back in a big way to curb the Empress Dowager's greed... The foundation is weak, and His Majesty's sacred heart has been lost. The status of the Queen Mother's line is not as stable as Princess Pingyang said.

I am just a little maidservant with no foundation or background, anyone in the palace can pinch him to death like an ant.If it is really like what Princess Pingyang said about entering the palace at this time, His Majesty will treat him with such a no-nonsense attitude.I'm afraid that the Queen doesn't need to take action in person, even those people who are in power can kill themselves.If he is not careful, his younger brother Wei Qing will be implicated.

Thinking of his younger brother Wei Qing, Wei Zifu sighed quietly again.When Wei Qing came to redeem himself with silver money, Princess Pingyang did not live and die for the purpose of cash cow.Now it seems that Princess Pingyang is completely disappointed in herself.Do you want to pass a message to my younger brother and ask him to come over again...

She really didn't want to live through such a cautious and suffocated life!
