His Majesty And Ministers

Jing Le practiced chopping and stabbing in the yard, while Lin Hangyu went out to practice sword according to the scheduled time every day, leaving Jing Xiaoyun sitting on the bed and playing with the wooden toys that Lin Hangyu gave him. The child fell down.

When no one was watching him act coquettishly, Jing Xiaoyun became especially well-behaved, and she could enjoy herself playing with wood by herself.

Jing Le was sweating from sword practice, half an hour later, when he was about to stop and go into the house to drink, he suddenly saw a person coming in from the courtyard gate, but it was Ye Mao, the eunuch next to Jing Ye.

Ye Mao smiled and said, "Please be safe, little prince."

"Eunuch Ye." Jing Le put away his sword and nodded.At such a young age, he just learned a cold face from his master, but his tender face obviously lacked confidence in pretending to be serious, and the palace servant who came first saw that he pursed his lips and smiled straight away.

Ye Mao invited Jing Ye in sideways, and Jing Le saluted politely, "See Your Majesty."

Jing Ye walked over with a smile and rubbed his slightly sweaty forehead hair: "What is Yun'er doing?"

"I'm playing with something that Master made for him." Jing Le was a little awkward. His father died young, and few elders would make such casual but intimate gestures to him. Lin Hangyu would never touch the top of his head, even very Shake his hand less.

When Jing Ye entered the room, Jing Xiaoyun looked up and saw him, immediately threw the toy aside, and stretched out her hand for a hug: "Uncle!"

Jing Ye was afraid that he would fall off the fence with too much force, so he hurried over to pick him up, and sat on the edge of the bed, rubbing his face to make him laugh.

The maids outside the house took out the snacks they brought, Ye Mao smiled at Jing Le: "This is made by Mr. Lu in the palace, it tastes so good, my son, please taste it."

Jing Le sternly refused: "No, Master said that eating snacks is not good for your teeth."

"You can't believe everything your master says." Jing Ye walked out of the room and stuffed a piece of pastry into Jing Le's mouth, "He must have never told you that snacks are better than rice."

The taste of the pastry is sweet, glutinous and soft, filling Jingle's cheeks.

He said silently in his heart: This is not what I ate, this is not what I ate, this is not what I ate... Then he chewed it a few times, feeling a bit reluctant to swallow it.

Jing Ye looked at him and smiled, then realized something and turned around and said, "Mr. Lin."

Jing Le was so frightened that she swallowed it all in one gulp, and even let out a "burp".

Lin Hangyu turned his gaze to Jing Le, then turned back to Jing Ye and said, "I have something to say to Your Majesty."

Jing Ye guessed more or less in his heart, and turned sideways to signal the room to talk.

When Ye Mao took Jing Xiaoyun out, Jing Ye said, "What does the sir want to talk about is related to Empress Li?"

Lin Hangyu said: "If Your Majesty is determined to become a queen, please return Jingyun to Xiaoyixuan."

Jing Ye said: "You said return it to me?"

Lin Hangyu said: "The old man has entrusted him and vowed not to violate it."

Jing Ye said bluntly: "Then please go out and ask Yun'er, sir, to see if he is with me, or with you, a master who can't hold a child."

Lin Hangyu: "..."

Jing Ye met the other party's eyes that were as cold as ice and snow, so he could only sigh and said: "Sir, you can rest assured, I have decided that I will never be a descendant in this life, and Yun'er is the only crown prince in this dynasty."

Lin Hangyu said: "Empty words have no basis."

Jing Ye smiled and said, "Why is there no proof? I like men, so I won't have children with any woman."

Lin Hangyu stopped talking, just stared at Jing Ye.

Jing Ye was taken aback by him, thinking that Yu Tao, who is good-natured, could be detected by human eyes?

The other party quickly looked away and said, "I believe you for now."

for the time being?That's my precious nephew, one day you want to take both of them away, am I helpless?Is it true that the emperor doesn't have many thugs?

Jing Ye was noncommittal, walked out the door, and stuffed another piece of pastry into Jing Le's mouth.

Jing Le looked at the expressionless Master, and swallowed it tearfully.

The imperial list has been released, and the draft has begun.According to the general regulations, the Ministry of Household Affairs has to notify all regions to submit the roster of women of the right age, to review them one by one, and then enter the palace. All kinds of things are very complicated.

But this time after the election, it is much easier to use the method Jing Ye said. From all over the country, including the capital, the gentry of the family will select women with both ability and political integrity and noble backgrounds, and send them to the palace to be selected by the emperor. There are also quotas for entering the palace. limit.

Although it is well known in the court that the emperor cut off his sleeves, His Majesty is no longer fatuous and violent in the past two years.Once a queen and concubine, above ten thousand people, for these families of daughters who were born in a noble family and raised with arrogance, it is not only the path they have known since they were young, but also a future that they can fight for.

Standing by the painting table, Lin Min first drew a few hibiscus lilies and the like, but couldn't hold back the emotion, and used a few strokes to describe the people he saw that day in the blank space.

The confidant maid on the side said carefully: "Miss, you are going to enter the palace, either as a queen or as a concubine..."

Lin Min looked at the painting and said, "I know that I want to enter the palace, either as a queen or as a concubine."

Seeing her expression, the servant girl sighed secretly and stopped persuading her.

Lin Min tried hard to recall the man's clothes, expression, and appearance, and was about to describe it in detail, when he heard the maid outside say: "Ma'am."

Both the master and the servant were startled, Lin Min turned around hastily, and the servant girl quickly pressed the small statue with a paperweight.

Feng Tingting turned into the inner room and said, "What are you doing?"

Lin Min said: "There is nothing to do all day, just draw a few strokes casually to relieve fatigue."

Feng seems to have heard some joke: "Nothing? In two days it will be the flower banquet of Ronghua Pavilion. All the noble eunuchs in Beijing who have daughters to marry have posted invitations, not only the adults who presided over the selection, but also the painters. Hold the pen, and present your looks to His Majesty, why don't you think about what kind of makeup and colors His Majesty likes to see, but you are here to paint for fun?"

Lin Min bit her lips and said, "Your Majesty prefers men, so why would he like women's makeup?"

Feng said: "Stupid! Since you know His Majesty doesn't like Fendai, you choose a lighter color, and don't do anything here. Do you think you can win just by your appearance? You must know that there are also noble ladies from the capital, don't you?" When talking about another family, let’s just talk about the youngest daughter of the Gu family, but she also has an older brother in the palace, who is not much worse than you.”

Lin Min raised his head and said, "Mother, didn't you say that after Lin Xiaosheng became a prostitute, a lowly person can't be my elder brother?"

Feng touched her cheek with his palm, and said softly: "He is not, not only because he is lowly, but also because he has never regarded himself as the Lin family and regarded you as his sister."

When Jing Ye woke up from his afternoon nap, Gu Hong was sitting beside him with his clothes on, reading the letter.

Jing Ye sat up, looked sleepily at the letter paper and asked, "Whose is it?"

Gu Hong put the loose collar on for him, and said with a smile: "Chen's father forced the youngest sister in the family to draft a talent show, and this girl wrote a letter begging me to go back for help."

Jing Ye woke up suddenly, and said with a smile: "What is your family mixing with?"

Gu Hong flicked the paper and said: "She is about to get married, and she is still like a wild horse, messing around all over the world. It is because I and my brothers dote on her too much. This time, I have the right to accept it." her heart."

Jing Ye glanced at him and said with a smile: "She doesn't have anyone she likes? You tell her to tell me, and I will give you a marriage order."

Gu Hong put down the letter paper and said: "If the king promises a thousand pieces of gold, he can't go back on his word."

Jing Ye said, "I haven't regretted it."

Gu Hong stretched out his hand to open the lapel he had just closed: "Then His Majesty promised to only allow the minister to accompany the night last night, why are there two more people?"

Jing Ye: "..." Can he control this matter!

Two days later, Huarong Pavilion Flower Banquet.

The Gu family was thrown into a commotion by the eldest lady, Gu Mei.In Lin's house, Lin Min put on the willow-huangling skirt that Yanxiu Pavilion had made for her, which made her skin white as cream. She was holding a sandalwood face fan, and the hibiscus hairpin on her sideburns was tactful and coquettish.

Mrs. Feng hung a pair of silver unicorns around her waist with her own hands, and said with a smile: "The embroidered clothes look like late spring, and the golden peacocks and silver unicorns are woven. It is rumored that Concubine Yang in the previous dynasty had a beautiful appearance. I hope that Min'er will be like her after entering the palace." Ordinary, loved by thousands of people, has a bright future."

Lin Min smiled and said, "Thank you, mother."

Maids and servants surrounded her and got into the small sedan chair in front of the mansion, while Feng Shi waved her fan into another sedan chair.

It was just the right time to arrive at Huarong Pavilion, Feng Shi took her to the large peach grove in the back garden, sure enough, they were all princes and nobles, chatting and laughing, and the maids brought fruit and wine to each other.

Lin Min followed his mother to exchange greetings with the wives and ladies, and looked up to see two girls sitting at the embroidery table under the peach tree, each accompanied by a personal servant girl, their appearances were outstanding.

Feng Shi whispered in her ear: "That's the daughter of the Gu family and the Yang family. If you're interested, you can make friends in the past."

Lin Min lowered his head and said, "Yes."

She was about to move forward, when she suddenly saw one of the two standing up and looking in some direction, she turned her head to follow her gaze.

I saw a person walking out of the place where the peach blossoms were thick, dressed in red and silver, with a folding fan swaying gently, unrestrained and elegant.

The man glanced over with a smile, and met her exactly.
