Heavenly Seven Dragons

It shouldn't be a big problem to leave it to him.

He casually handed the paperwork on the table to Yongzhang, and Long Yintian got straight to the point, talking about the real purpose of calling Yongzhang this time: "Yongzhang, you have been in the imperial study for a while. It’s the day, and I must have learned a lot. However, things on paper are always dead, and it’s not as good as you participate in it yourself.”

The meaning of Long Yintian's words was obvious, which made Yongzhang feel a little overjoyed from the bottom of his heart, even a little flattered, he asked with some doubts: "Huang Ama, what do you mean... ?”

Long Yintian nodded affirmatively, then glanced at Jiefu lightly, and said: "I plan to let you go to the Ministry of Rites to study and experience, I see that Jiefu has been in the Ministry of Rites for many years, and you should also be with him I know him, and with him assisting you, I can rest assured."

When Jiefu heard this, how could he still not understand the emperor's thoughts, and he raised his heart again after he had settled down not long ago; but don't care whether this matter is good or bad, since the emperor has explained everything, It was also very difficult for him to refuse, so he had to respond hastily: "Please rest assured, the emperor, I will definitely try my best to help the third elder brother, so that the third elder brother can familiarize himself with the affairs of the Ministry of Rites as soon as possible."

Yongzhang knew that this was his chance, so he hurriedly responded, "I will definitely try my best and never let Huang Ama down."

"Well, it's good to have confidence, but you must also remember that this time you go to the Ministry of Rites to focus on learning, not giving orders, understand?" Long Yintian's words were superficially mentioning Yongzhang, but in reality However, he even warned Jiefu that he had better know what to do and what not to do, otherwise something would happen sooner or later.

Yongzhang didn't hear the deep meaning in Long Yintian's words, he only thought that Huang Ama was teaching him, so he replied very seriously: "I must keep what Huang Ama said in my heart."

However, Jie Fu, who had been standing by the side all the time, broke out in a cold sweat from Long Yintian's few words. After all, what happened to Lord Kangxi at that time was still vivid in his memory. Of course he understood what the emperor's warning was.

After talking about the business, Long Yintian had some free time, and after signaling Jiefu to leave, he started chatting casually with Yongzhang.

But it was obvious that God didn't intend to give him this chance. They hadn't chatted a few words before Fu Heng hurried over with an urgent melody.

Long Yintian sighed helplessly and asked Yongzhang to leave first. Then he took the two memorials from Fu Heng, opened them and read them carefully, and his expression became more and more serious. gloomy.

A memorial said that the Tibetan county king Zhuermot Namzal was about to launch a rebellion. Fu Qing, the governor of the Tibetan capital, and Labudun, the governor of the left capital, were aware of his intentions and lured him into execution; Zang Tashi's heart was not dead, and he launched a rebellion that night, and Fu Qing and Rabdon were killed.

The other said that the internal strife in the Junggar tribe had escalated, and it had developed from a small-scale conflict to a large-scale military operation, and there were several frictions with the Qing army, and King Qi was unfortunately killed as a result.

Throwing the memorial on the table fiercely, Long Yintian suppressed the anger in his heart without saying a word. Fu Heng also knew that now was not the time to talk, so he just stood quietly by the side, waiting for Long Yintian to ask questions. talk.

After about half a stick of incense, Long Yintian calmed down the anger in his heart, and said in a very calm voice: "The matter of Tibet is urgent, Fu Heng, do you have any suitable candidates in mind? Come on, let me listen."

Although Fu Heng really wanted to fight in his heart, but at the same time he also understood that his current achievements had already made many people jealous, and there were a lot of rumors and rumors. It's time to end; but sending troops to Tibet is different from other places, and the acclimatization and altitude sickness alone are two big problems.

After thinking carefully for a while, Fu Heng finally opened his mouth and replied: "I think Yue Zhongqi, Governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi Province, and Zhaohui, Minister of Household Department, are good candidates."

For the candidates recommended by Fu Heng, Long Yintian is quite acceptable, but there is only one thing that is troublesome, because Yue Zhongqi is a Han, and he has just made great contributions to the suppression of Jinchuan before. If he is allowed to play again this time, then the court will definitely Some people objected that disharmony between Man and Han is really a headache.

But the headache is a headache, but the war must not be delayed, so Long Yintian simply summoned the people from the General Aircraft Department, and threw this trade-off issue to them, and asked them to select someone and draft it before tomorrow morning. booklet.

Regarding the emperor's will and the upcoming war, the ministers of the Military Aircraft Department did not dare to neglect, racked their brains and deliberated all night, and finally came up with a plan that satisfied Long Yintian.

So early the next morning, Long Yintian skipped even the court meeting, and directly issued a decree, ordering Celeng, Yue Zhongqi, and Zhaohui to lead troops into Tibet, transfer Yin Jishan to Sichuan to manage the food and pay; Zhaohui entered Tibet together.

☆, Lanxin Princess

The author has something to say: We are finally back, it's not easy...

But it's still in the Calvin stage, it's painful to say...

Ever since the army was dispatched to Junggar, Long Yintian had no concubine who had been lucky enough to visit the harem, and he had never even stayed in the harem. He either stayed late in the imperial study every day, or discussed matters with the ministers at the military aircraft office.

It is true to say that there are many wars and government affairs, but Long Yintian has other plans for this war, so he made himself so busy as a last resort.

After being unlucky in the harem for a long time, the concubines in the harem couldn't sit still. Not only did they try their best to seduce the emperor, but they also went to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to greet the queen mother more and more times. Naturally it goes without saying.

On the contrary, the queen seemed extremely quiet during this period, doing whatever she should do every day, completely aloof from the world, except for the necessary greetings every day, she basically stayed in Kunning Palace without going out. Even if other concubines came, she would try her best to decline.

Seeing that the empress behaved so low-key, the concubines naturally couldn't help but speculate. Among them, the most credible statement was that the empress was no longer favored, and the empress didn't plan to marry her when she was disheartened. What's the point of fighting, why not just be a queen in the palace in peace and stability.

The empress kept a low profile, but the fighting between the concubines became more intense. After all, the Spring Festival is approaching, and as a rule, the positions of the concubines in the harem should also be changed, especially the Yu concubines, Yu concubines, etc. Concubine, Concubine Rong and Concubine Ling, they were all clamoring to get those vacant concubines.

Putting down the memorial just approved in his hand, Long Yintian looked up and saw a little eunuch standing in front of the table, dragging a wooden tray in his hand, on which were neatly stacked two rows of concubines' names The green wooden sign, needless to say, it's time to flip the sign again.

Long Yintian glanced at the neatly stacked wooden plaques, raised his hand and waved away the little eunuch, and he wanted to continue correcting the memorial, but he stopped after hearing Gao Wuyong's words.

"Your Majesty, today is fifteen."

As usual, on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year, Long Yintian should go to the queen's place, but recently, due to the busy state affairs, he doesn't want to be distracted by the affairs of the harem, so he hasn't been there for more than three months Now that the harem is in the palace, naturally he has not set foot in the Kunning Palace.

After thinking about it for a while, Long Yintian finally put down the booklet in his hand, raised his head and ordered: "Show the Kunning Palace."

In the Kunning Palace, the queen was leaning on the soft couch, half-squinting her eyes and looking at the book of poems in her hand, but as for whether she read it or not, and what was going on in her mind, she was probably the only one. knew.

The maid standing next to her gave the queen some tea and snacks with a wink. She didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, she just raised her eyes occasionally to observe the queen's expression.

At the window, under the service of the maid, a small figure was leaning over the table, copying the copybook in front of him very seriously, although the handwriting under the pen was really not satisfactory, but it could be written from the thick pen next to it. Judging from the past paper, this child is quite persistent and patient.

This picture looked so peaceful and harmonious, but it didn't take long for a figure that entered in a hurry to break the pleasant atmosphere in the room.

"Hey, empress, please hurry up and get ready, the emperor is already heading towards Kunning Palace."

The one who was yelling and walking quickly was none other than Nanny Rong who had been with the Queen for many years. In this Kunning Palace, apart from her, I am afraid there would be no other person who dared to do this in front of the Queen. Loud talking minions too.

"Your majesty?" The queen straightened up from the soft couch as soon as she heard this, the feeling of laziness just now was swept away in an instant, and there was a lot of doubt and joy in her eyes, "Why did the emperor suddenly think of it?" This palace is here, could it be... what happened in this palace?"

"Lian Jing, hurry up and tidy up, let the kitchen prepare more vegetables and cakes that the emperor loves to eat. Chen Xiang, hurry up and do the empress's hair and makeup." Nurse Rong ordered quickly, while helping the empress get up from the couch Sitting in front of the mirror, there was a strong smile on her face: "Empress Empress, today is fifteen, the emperor should have come to Kunning Palace, so don't think about it for now, the most important thing is to serve the emperor well."

"This..." The empress obviously hadn't figured it out yet, and she didn't know what to do. She had finally been at peace for a month, but the sudden arrival of the emperor made her feel a little indigestion.

On the other hand, Chen Xiang, who was standing behind her, combed her hair deftly, and said with a smile: "Nurse Rong is right. Empress Empress, you should take care of the emperor first, what's the matter waiting?" Tomorrow, the servants will help you calculate the total, what do you think?"

Chen Xiang and Lian Jing are the new maids who were transferred from the House of Internal Affairs to serve the queen after the queen was punished last time. In fact, both of them have been in the palace for more than a year. Working in the imperial dining room, I also knew that they were all kind of inconspicuous little characters. This time they were transferred to Kunning Palace, which was equivalent to a promotion.

Moreover, the two of them are the kind of smart, winking and good at handling things. They have won the queen's trust in less than half a year. Some time ago, the two of them helped the queen to come up with ideas on many things. , the final result was also good, so right now even the always proud and arrogant Rong Nanny began to gradually trust these two young girls.

Seeing that everyone around her said that, the queen naturally stopped insisting, sighed and said: "Okay, I will listen to you."

At this time, the little figure who was originally at the table came to the queen's side at some point, and asked a little nervously: "Mother, is the emperor coming?"

The queen touched the little guy's head with her hand kindly when she heard the words, and said a little seriously: "Lan Xin, you are the adopted daughter of my palace, so you are naturally the daughter of the emperor, so please remember to call me the emperor." Ma, do you understand?"

Lan Xin nodded obediently, and firmly recorded the queen's words in her heart.

After all, she has only entered the palace not long ago and is still very unfamiliar with the palace. The only support is the queen, especially this time when she is going to meet the emperor whom she has never met before. It is inevitable that she will be nervous psychologically, and it is okay to make a small mistake. Original.

"Ge Ge, let's change clothes and freshen up, so I can impress the emperor later." After finishing speaking, Chen Xiang gave Lian Jing a wink who had just returned.

And Lian Jing also understood immediately, and hurriedly took Lan Xin's little hand, while talking to Lan Xin gently to distract her, she quickly took her to the side hall to change clothes.

After all the nervous fuss, the eunuch in charge of delivering the news outside the palace finally said the words that made the queen secretly happy: "The emperor is here."

Stepping into the Kunning Palace, Long Yintian frowned almost imperceptibly when he saw the person kneeling all over the room, and then ordered everyone to flatten down, while he himself directly sat on the main seat.

Chen Xiang knew that the emperor didn't like places with many people, so as soon as she stood up, she ordered the others to go down first, and she herself also retreated outside the door after serving tea.

Turning his head to look at the little person standing beside the queen, Long Yintian casually asked: "Is this the Gege from Prince Qi's mansion?"

"Exactly." Seeing that the emperor mentioned Lan Xin, the queen immediately pushed Lan Xin in front of the emperor while replying, "Although Lan Xin is young, she is very obedient and sensible. The concubines like this more and more." It's a child."

Lan Xin glanced at the emperor nervously, and said in a childish voice like a bird: "Huang Ama."

"Well, yes, he is indeed a lovely child." Long Yintian could see that Lan Xin was only nervous, but she was not afraid of herself. Immediately, her affection for Lan Xin doubled, and a little smirk gradually appeared on her face. smile.

After all, the king of Qi died for his country, so it is only natural to take good care of his children; moreover, it is not a good thing for the queen to have no sons and a half daughters under her knees. Only then would he agree without even thinking about it.

Lan Xin knew that this was the first time he met Huang Ama, and the impression was very important, so she secretly took a deep breath, turned her eyes slightly, and said with a smile: "Huang Ama's praise is really worthy of me. Dare to do it. In fact, I have not been in this palace for a long time, and I don't understand many things. It is all because of the Queen's mother who patiently taught me that I am what I am today, so Huang Ama Your praise should be reserved for the Empress."

What Lan Xin said was very good. She not only showed her humility, but also flattered the queen, and even mentioned the queen's kindness to the emperor. It can be said to kill three birds with one stone.

Since ancient times, it has been said that there are no taboos in children's words. Lan Xin believed that the emperor must have believed part of what she said, and that was enough.

Long Yintian understood Lan Xin's meaning as soon as he heard it, and he naturally appreciated Lan Xin more, and half-jokingly squeezed Lan Xin's small face and said: "I have learned to protect my daughter at a young age. It’s really a little grown-up.”

The queen also saw that the emperor had a good impression of Lan Xin, and the worries in her heart were completely let go. At the same time, it also made her love Lan Xin a lot more, and the smile on her face became softer and softer: "Your Majesty, Don't bother talking here, it's time for dinner, otherwise it won't be good for your body if you're starving."

"I'm really hungry, let's go and eat." After speaking, Long Yintian got up and took Lan Xin's little hand and walked towards the inner room.

Through the brief interaction with Long Yintian, Lan Xin also saw that her Huang Ama was actually not that serious, on the contrary, she looked a bit like her deceased Ama, and the tension in her heart gradually disappeared. The exquisite dishes on the table gradually revealed her childlike nature.

☆, decreed to give marriage

Although the empress is the lord of the harem and the most honorable woman in the Qing Dynasty, she is just a wife in front of the emperor, so she, who never serves others on weekdays, is serving the emperor herself at this time. , and every time she picks up the dishes that Long Yintian wants to eat, her observation skills are not too subtle, and her intentions are not too deep.

In fact, after getting along for so long, Long Yintian has always felt that the empress should be deeply in love with Qianlong, who is now himself. Even none of the other concubines could do it.

But unfortunately, the queen's love may never be reciprocated. The former Qianlong obviously didn't love her at all, and the Long Yintian in front of him didn't understand what love is at all.

Maybe Long Yintian will be a good emperor, but he is not a complete person, but he himself does not know this.

As for Lan Xin, Nanny Rong served the meal, but since the emperor was here, she did not dare to move too much, so as not to disturb the emperor's interest.

Seeing her favorite side dishes placed far away but not being able to eat them herself, Lan Xin felt a sense of loss in her heart, she could only look at them pitifully, and then secretly swallowed her saliva.

Seeing Lan Xin's kitten-like appearance, Long Yintian felt amused in his heart, without thinking about it, he put some on the small plate in front of Lan Xin, "There are no outsiders here today, just eat whatever you want. Say, there's no need to be so cautious."

It was just this simple interaction, and Lan Xin understood that Huang Ama had completely accepted herself at this time, and she still liked herself a little bit. It's like having everything, she is still very clear about this.

"Thank you Huang Ama." Although Lan Xin felt a little flattered, she was more happy in her heart, "You should also eat more, my son heard from the emperor's mother that you are busy until late every day, not much. Eat some and you'll get sick."

Seeing that what Lan Xin said was plausible, Long Yintian couldn't help but joked: "You've been nagging like this at a young age, let's see who dares to marry you when you grow up."

"Huang Ama..." After Long Yintian said this, Lan Xin's face was immediately flushed, she immediately pouted, and said coquettishly, "The queen's mother , look, Huang Ama is bullying people!"

The queen stretched out her hand to straighten Lan Xin's body, and said with a smile from the bottom of her heart, "You, sit down and eat obediently."

"Oh..." Although Lan Xin sat down obediently, she still couldn't help but glance at Long Yintian, and murmured, "Emperor Niang is really biased..."

Tong Yan Wuji's words made the queen feel dumbfounded, but when she turned around and saw the emperor watching Lan Xin eating with a smile on her face, she was completely relieved and continued to serve the emperor.

Who would have thought that Long Yintian's casual glances would make the empress blush instantly, and Lan Xin couldn't help lowering her head and sniggering several times when she saw it.

Long Yintian saw Lan Xin's small actions in his eyes, so when the queen turned her head to pick up the food, he unceremoniously gave Lan Xin a warning look, but the smile on his face remained the same. No reduction.

Lan Xin also saw that Huang Ama didn't really want to blame herself, so she boldly gave him a thumbs up, then quickly lowered her head, and continued to eat vegetables as if nothing had happened. I didn't dare to laugh, my stomach hurt a little from holding back.

'What an interesting girl. "Long Yintian didn't say anything, just pretended that this incident had never happened, and continued to have dinner with peace of mind. Presumably, having such a lively and active Gege around could sharpen the Queen's temper and let Kunning Gong is also more angry.

After dinner, Nanny Rong led Lan Xin to the side hall to rest, leaving the space in the palace to the emperor and empress.

While serving Long Yintian's tea carefully, the empress started to talk about serious business at the right time: "Your Majesty, it's almost the Spring Festival. Shouldn't the ranks of the concubines also be promoted?"

The empress sounded like she was asking about the emperor's intentions, but in fact, it is already a common practice to raise the position during the Spring Festival every year, and the empress dowager specifically asked about this matter a few days ago. The empress knew that if this matter was not arranged, it might be too late. That's why she took this rare opportunity to ask the emperor what he meant.

Long Yintian also understood that it would not be justifiable if the positions were not changed during the Spring Festival this year. Right now, two of the four concubine positions are vacant, and no matter what happens, one has to be raised, so he thought for a while and said: "You just have to look at this matter." Let's make arrangements, and just draw up a list for me later."

"There is one more thing, I don't know whether I should say it..." The queen hesitated and glanced at the emperor. She was deeply afraid that if she said it directly, she would offend the emperor, but this matter is very important. The queen mother Both Concubine Chun and Concubine Chun have talked with her alone many times because of this matter. After all, she is the queen now, and it is her responsibility to handle this matter.

Seeing the queen's hesitation and hesitation, Long Yintian guessed that there might be some troubles in the harem and he needed to make up his mind, so he simply put down the teacup in his hand and said lightly: "The queen It’s okay to say something.”

"The concubine will tell the truth." The queen also put down the things in her hands at this time, sat up straight and said a little nervously: "The third elder brother will be sixteen after the new year, and it is time to open the government office and build the mansion. At his age, the concubine wondered if he should give him advice on the marriage, and started to build the mansion by the way. If this matter is delayed after the New Year, I am afraid that the time will be a little tight."

Hearing the Queen mention this matter, Long Yintian had a sudden realization. He did not expect time to pass so quickly, and Yongzhang had also reached the age when he should be married, but he really had no experience in this marriage. In his two lifetimes, he has never had a big marriage, but what is certain is that referring to his elder brothers as a marriage is definitely a political marriage, and has nothing to do with feelings.

The queen saw that the emperor did not speak, and the expression on his face did not seem to be displeased, so she boldly continued: "A few days ago, the concubine Chun specially came to see the concubine because of this matter. She hopes that after the new year, Yongzhang will marry a concubine Fujin as soon as possible, maybe... she can still take a look at it. You know, the emperor, that the body of Concubine Chun... I'm afraid it won't last long..."

Concubine Chun has been ill since she came back from Mulan. She has been resting in bed for the past few months. She has been seen by the imperial physicians several times but nothing has improved. When she reported back to Long Yintian, those imperial physicians told the truth that Concubine Chun's illness It is already terminally ill, and now it is only dragged by the medicine stone, it is hard to say whether it can survive the next year.

It is also because of Concubine Chun's serious illness that Yongzhang always runs to Yikun Palace when he has nothing to do during this time, and he has almost no time to spend with Long Yintian.

"What you said is reasonable. I'm afraid you, the empress, should worry more about this matter. Concubine Chun... Let her recover from her illness." Long Yintian lowered his head expressionlessly, his voice still flat and indifferent. Bo, it's just that the eyes are deep and scary, but the queen didn't see it, "Yongzhang is soft-tempered, just pick someone who suits his temperament and can manage the house, and everything else comes second."

As soon as the queen heard this, she had some confidence in her heart, and the expression on her face relaxed a lot, "I understand what you mean, don't worry, I will do my best to handle this matter, after all Zhang also called the concubine the emperor's mother, and the concubine will not lose the child no matter what."

"Yeah." Long Yintian nodded in satisfaction and didn't say anything more, but his mood was no longer as relaxed and happy as when he had dinner just now, and there was even a little bit of reluctance and faint Melancholy, in his opinion, maybe this is the feeling of being a parent.

The day before New Year's Eve, the palace was decorated with lanterns and festoons, and the festive atmosphere was everywhere. The cold wind didn't seem to extinguish people's enthusiasm. On the contrary, it was the snowflakes that fell that filled the upcoming festival with a noble atmosphere. color.

Yongzhang, who had just stepped into the gate of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, had not had time to enter the house when he saw his sixth younger brother Yongrong running over quickly from a distance, his round face was already a little red from the cold Now, from the snow stains on his body, it is not difficult to guess that this little guy must have been mischievous again.

Before gaining a firm foothold, Yong Rong smiled pantingly and said, "Third Brother, Third Brother, I really congratulate you!"

Yongzhang frowned suspiciously, and was very puzzled by Yongrong's nonsensical words: "What happened? What can I congratulate?"

"Hey, third brother, don't you know? Huang Ama has already decreed to give you a marriage, and also promised you to open a government office and build a mansion after the New Year. This time I will have another one outside the palace. It's time to go, hee hee, when the time comes, third brother, don't shut me out..."

Yongrong's words struck Yongzhang's heart like a thunderbolt, which made it difficult for him to accept it for a while, and the blood in his whole body seemed to freeze as if it instantly became cold.

It's not like he didn't hear Erniang mentioning Nafujin before, but he only thought it was a mother's wish, so he didn't take it too seriously, but he didn't expect Huang Ama to give up so quickly. the will.

When he was young, he wished he could leave the palace and see the vast world outside; but thinking about it, he suddenly felt a faint feeling of nostalgia, he... didn't want to leave... even if it was... only a wall away ...

☆, New Year's Eve

Yongzhang didn't know how he persuaded Yongrong to leave, and he didn't know how he came to the imperial study room. He only knew that he was startled when he saw that bright yellow figure, and his confused consciousness was finally found. on track.

Kneeling down habitually, Yongzhang mechanically said the words that had been said tens of thousands of times: "I send my regards to Huang Ama."

"Get up." Long Yintian looked up at Yongzhang with some doubts, then turned his gaze back to the memorial in his hand again, and asked in a flat tone: "Yongzhang, why are you in such a hurry to find me?" What's the matter?"

Because tomorrow is New Year's Eve, Long Yin took advantage of the festival to give these brothers a special holiday, allowing them to go out of the palace to have fun, just to let those ministers who have been busy for a whole year go back and rest for a few days Day, after all, the combination of work and rest can be efficient.

But now Yongzhang suddenly ran to the Yushufang to look for him at this time, it's no wonder Long Yintian felt puzzled.

Standing up straight, Yongzhang opened his mouth slightly, but unexpectedly he didn't say a word. It's not that he didn't want to ask, but he didn't know how to ask.

Are you asking why Huang Ama gave him a marriage?Or do you mean that you don't want to accept Fujin at all?Don't want to marry a woman you've never met?

But as an elder brother, how can he say such words?

Born in the royal family, it is extremely difficult to make decisions on marriage matters, especially matters such as accepting a concubine Fujin, which are mostly closely related to the interests of the family. He does not understand this truth.

But it is one thing to understand the truth, and another to see the facts with your own eyes. Otherwise, how can you explain the uncontrollable helplessness and colic in your heart?

He didn't hear Yongzhang's reply for a long while, and Long Yintian's doubts became even worse. He finally put down the memorial in his hand, looked up at Yongzhang and asked, "Yongzhang, did you come here just to Greetings to me? If you have anything to say, just say it, don't keep it in your heart."

"My son..." Yongzhang gritted his teeth secretly, and finally opened his mouth cautiously, "My son heard... Huang Ama gave me a marriage order, but my son has not received the imperial edict, so ...I just wanted to confirm with Huang Ama..."

"So it's about this..." Long Yintian casually picked up a recently written imperial decree from the table, and motioned for Gao Wuyong to pass it to Yongzhang, "When I went to visit the pure concubine just now, It’s just that the oral order was issued first, and the imperial decree has not yet been issued. But since you are here, you don’t need to send another person to go.”

Looking at the imperial decree handed to him, Yongzhang felt as if a huge stone was pressing on his heart. Not only did it become more and more difficult to breathe, but with the pulsation of the heart, the pain had spread from his heart to his heart. Limbs and limbs were all skeletal, and even the fingertips were sore and cold.

Seeing that Yongzhang did not move for a long time, Gao Wuyong, who was holding the imperial decree in his hand, reminded softly with good intentions: "Congratulations, third elder brother, this is the imperial decree for bestowing marriage."

Gao Wuyong's words woke Yongzhang up suddenly. He knew that at this moment, he would never disobey the order. No matter who Huang Ama asked him to marry, he could not refuse, because he had neither the qualifications nor the qualifications to marry. right.

His pale hands tremblingly accepted the imperial decree, Yongzhang only felt that the originally light silk brocade was as heavy as a thousand catties at the moment, and the slightest trace of unspeakable fear and loss began to spread crazily in his heart.

Gao Wuyong is a person who is good at observing words and deeds, and he naturally noticed Yongzhang's abnormal behavior. Although he didn't understand why Yongzhang had such a reaction, he still asked softly: "Third elder brother, what are you doing?" Are you okay?"

"It's okay." Yongzhang tried his best to squeeze out a smile, but he never dared to lift his lowered eyes, he was afraid that Huang Ama would see something in his eyes, although he didn't understand at the moment What are you afraid of.

Although Long Yintian was far away, he could see Yongzhang's reaction clearly from the condescending position, but Yongzhang's pale face and trembling hands made him somewhat worried.

Seeing that Yongzhang didn't seem to have anything to say after receiving the imperial decree, he simply said in an orderly tone: "Yongzhang, I think you look very bad, so don't go out to play with Yongxuan and the others this afternoon. , take a good rest in the house for a few days, and it won’t be too late to go to the Ministry of Rites to study after you recover your body.”

Long Yintian's caring words warmed Yongzhang's heart a little, but the combination of cold and warm made him feel even more uncomfortable.

He knew that he couldn't stay any longer, and he was afraid that he would do something irrational, so he could only lower his head and try to suppress his voice and said, "I am sorry for your embarrassment, my son. I will take a good rest. Huang Ama is busy with state affairs, so my son-in-law will leave first."

Although Long Yintian still didn't understand why Yongzhang came here in a hurry, but he couldn't bear to see his precarious appearance, so he hesitated a little, and Long Yintian finally agreed to his request: " Well, go back and have a good rest."

Looking at the figure of Yongzhang who could be said to be running away, Long Yintian stroked his lower lip with his fingertips, thoughtfully.

———————————— Black Cat Shura’s dividing line —————————————————

On New Year's Eve, the emperor held a banquet in the palace as usual. On the surface, it was a banquet for officials and brothers, but in fact it was also a rare political banquet. The various political purposes were self-evident.

And those princes and ministers also brought their sons here as usual, maybe one of them will be favored by the emperor, and the benefits in the future will be even more difficult to estimate.

As for those concubines and princesses, they will of course have the New Year’s Eve dinner with the queen mother in the harem, and of course the daughters of those ministers are also indispensable. After all, they are all candidates for the future Fujin and side Fujin. A good opportunity for the Queen and Queen Mother to inspect them.

During the banquet, listening to the scenes of the ministers coming and going, Yong Rong lowered his head and played with the jade pendant on his body while observing the surroundings, obviously he couldn't sit still.

Originally, with Yongrong's active and straightforward personality, he already hated those vain and submissive things in the officialdom. In addition, he was young, so he was basically a dispensable supporting role in such banquets, so naturally after a long time will get bored.

After finally reaching the second half of the banquet, Yong Rong quietly took the opportunity to leave the hall. He originally planned to go to the imperial dining room to steal something to eat after visiting Er Niang, but who would have thought that he had just returned from Yi When he came out of Kun Palace, he raised his eyes and saw a guy who gritted his teeth in resentment.
