Heavenly Seven Dragons
Work related
The emperor bows his head first, doesn't he?
Although her temper is a little blunt and she has no discernment, at least she still has this insight.
"Don't worry, Queen Mother, my son has written it down." Long Yintian replied with a smile on his face, and he understood the general idea in his heart.
The empress dowager either felt that he had not visited the empress too often, so she took the opportunity to hint at him; Lushui'er reminded him.
"Just write it down." The queen mother nodded in satisfaction, and then turned the topic to Xinyue, the siblings: "The Ai family just told the queen that Prince Narui is really a blessing. It's a pity that only these two helpless children are left behind."
The queen also echoed her voice, and she also showed a lot of maternal love in her words. After all, she now has a twelfth elder brother. As a first-time mother, she naturally loves her children a little more, so she also treats Keshan even more. An extra favor; Long Yintian didn't speak much, and most of the time he listened to the queen mother chatting about family affairs.
However, the Queen Mother is also a shrewd person, and in a few words, she revealed the full set of their family background from Xinyue and Keshan. After all, Prince Narui lives in the south all the year round, and it is impossible to know many things without asking carefully. Find out that some unknown people are left in the palace, if something happens, it will be troublesome, although the emperor will definitely send someone to investigate, but the queen mother still believes in her own vision.
Long Yintian also took this opportunity to observe the siblings Xia Xinyue and Keshan carefully, and he also had a rough calculation in his heart.
Keshan not only knows the rules, but also has a relatively calm temper. When he shouldn't speak, he just sits and listens obediently. The child must have received a very good family education before.
As for that Xinyue Gege, Long Yintian couldn't catch her eyes at all. She couldn't see the aristocratic air in this Gege, and she often answered irrelevant questions and cried at every turn. Just find someone in this palace. All the grand ladies outperformed her.
In fact, not only Long Yintian sees it this way, but even the queen mother and queen feel the same way, so gradually the queen mother is not as enthusiastic about this new moon as when she first came, but when she looks at Keshan, she has more eyes. Appreciate the color.
The family chat was almost finished, and all the things that should be seen were seen. The queen mother naturally said that she was back to the business: "Your Majesty, the Ai family is very pitiful to see the two brothers and sisters. I wonder how the emperor plans to arrange them?"
Long Yintian smiled slightly, and said the plan he had in mind: "Keshan is the orphan of Prince Rui, and I feel deeply sorry for Prince Rui's suffering, so I plan to let Keshan inherit the line of Prince Rui and seal the county. King, I will stay in the capital in the future. However, I still intend to listen to the opinions of other princes about how to arrange it."
Seeing that the emperor had brought out the name of the clan, the queen mother couldn't ask any further questions. After all, Keshan was going to inherit the title of the prince, so it would be best for the clan to arrange it.
After hearing the emperor's words, Keshan's face showed a lot of joy. After all, he is not a son of the eldest son. If there were not such changes in his family, then the county king would not be in his turn anyway.
In contrast, Xinyue seemed uneasy, because the emperor didn't mention her at all, she didn't know how the clan would arrange herself, and she was even more afraid that she would never see the hero in her heart again in the future, but all these things happened again. It's not her who has the final say, even if she is anxious, it won't help.
In the evening, it is naturally the time to entertain and reward the returning soldiers, but this time there are not many ministers present, on the contrary, all the old people from the clan are here, and this naturally includes the famous Hong Zhou from the clan .
Prince Zhuang is running out of time. Once Prince Zhuang passes away, the older generation of power holders will completely withdraw from the stage of history. Now, Hong Zhou is doing a great job in both the imperial court and the clan. There is no shortage of the emperor's support, so even though Hong Zhou has not taken over as the capital of Zhenghuang Banner, anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is only a matter of time, so it is only normal for many people to turn to Hong Zhou for their own interests .
After the banquet started, Hongzhou couldn't help but frowned after hearing the eunuch Xuanzhi read a few rewards, and turned his head to look at Yongbi who was sitting not far from him, his eyes were full of concern.
Yongbi was already prepared in his heart, and he also guessed that this would be the result. It was already considered good not to be punished by the emperor, so while smiling wryly, he just shook his head at Hongzhou, indicating that he was fine.
Seeing that Yongbi didn't care about the lack of a reward, Hong Zhou naturally felt relieved, and then turned his attention to the emperor, because at this time the emperor had already asked the clan ministers how to arrange for Prince Rui's bereaved son.
☆, the beginning of ambition
In fact, as early as a few days ago, the ministers of the imperial family had already discussed in detail how to place the orphan of Prince Rui, and they also presented the prepared book to the emperor. At this moment, the emperor raised this matter at the banquet, but It's just a formality in front of the princes and ministers. To put it bluntly, it's just to show the emperor's grace.
An old official of the clan stood up very tacitly, and recited the drafted plan according to the scriptures, and other clan ministers also followed suit. Although Hong Zhou did not directly participate, he also knew the emperor's intentions, so naturally He also spoke in agreement.
It stands to reason that all the ministers of the clan have no objection, so this matter should come to an end, and I just waited for my son to send someone to arrange it later, but I didn't expect Nu Dahai, who had been silent all this time, to leave suddenly She came out and knelt down on one knee, and said sincerely: "Your Majesty, Gege and little Baylor have suffered such a catastrophe at a young age, and I am deeply saddened. What a weak woman like Gege should want most is the warmth of home, and when she returns home On the way to Beijing, Gege has also mentioned this matter to me many times, so I implore the emperor to allow Gege to stay in the general's mansion for a while, so as to help Gege get out of the shadow of losing a loved one as soon as possible."
After hearing Nu Dahai's words, all the ministers present looked at him in unison, and couldn't help whispering at the same time. Even Hong Zhou looked at him with the eyes of an idiot, and secretly said in his heart :'What kind of identity is this Gege? He even got it in front of all the ministers and said, Nu Dahai, do you have any brains?Besides, what kind of family warmth? Didn't you clearly accuse the royal family of being ruthless? It seems that if the fourth brother doesn't take you into action, I'm afraid he will be sorry for the surname Aixinjueluo. '
Long Yintian, who was sitting on the dragon chair, was furious when he heard this. Although he knew in his heart that the relationship between Nu Dahai and Xinyue had been unclear for a long time, what he didn't expect was that this Nu Dahai would dare to act so blatantly. Please order, and the implication is that the royal family has no warmth, only you, the general's mansion, have it.
Long Yintian narrowed his eyes slightly, and his face was also very gloomy. Since you, a general, are so capable and upright, let's see how far you can go without the support of Aixinjueluo's family.
Just when everyone thought the emperor would be furious, Long Yintian said unhurriedly: "Nu Dahai, I have granted your request. During the period before Xinyue leaves the cabinet, let me She'll stay in the General's Mansion temporarily. But Xinyue is still Gege after all, so don't neglect her."
After hearing this, Nu Dahai was overjoyed, and hastily kowtowed: "My humble minister kowtows to thank the emperor for his kindness."
The ministers next to him were suddenly dumbfounded, and they were a little unclear about this sudden change. Therefore, only Yongbi, who knew the inside story of the matter, could truly understand the emperor's thoughts. I don't care so much.
Although the banquet in the hall is still going on, those things that happened in it were quickly known by outsiders. Of course, different people have different methods and eyeliners, just like the eighth elder brother Yongxuan.
"You mean that instead of being angry, Huang Ama actually allowed that Princess to live in the general's mansion?" In the side hall, Yongxuan was very surprised when he heard the news, because it completely overturned his view of Huang Ama. Logically, Huang Ama would never do such a useless thing.
"It's absolutely true, and I was surprised when I heard the news, so I came here to ask you." Yongxie, who was supposed to go back to the palace, was sitting beside Yongxuan leisurely at this moment. The most important thing is to tell his fellow brother what happened just now, and he also hopes to find the answer from the eighth brother.
Yongxuan always felt that there was something in this incident that he hadn't noticed, so after thinking for a while, he said to Yongxuan again: "Fourth brother, can you explain this incident in detail from the beginning?"
"Well, good." Although Yongxuan didn't know what Yongxuan was thinking of, she still described every detail he had heard, and told Yongxuan all the gossip he knew. Xuan.
"So that's it, it makes sense..." After sorting out the news completely, Yongxuan quickly understood the ins and outs of the whole matter, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart that Huang Ama was different and moody, and at the same time I also mourned for Nu Dahai and the people in the General's Mansion.
Yongxie's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he hurriedly asked: "Eighth brother, what did you find?"
"This is a trick to 'direct disaster to the east', and the general of Nu Dahai is probably going to make it to the end." As he spoke, Yongxuan combined the news he heard from Yongbi with what happened today. After a detailed analysis, although the results were unexpected, they all seemed reasonable.
Yongxie frowned and thought for a while after hearing this. After all, it was about the face of the royal family. He really didn't expect Huang Ama to deal with it like this, so he still asked with some uncertainty: "Do you really think Huang Ama is Think so?"
"Although I can't be absolutely sure, it should be [-]%." Of course Yongxuan guessed what Yongxuan's doubts were, so he further explained: "I have the most chances to get along with Huang Ama, so I will find some It's normal to see details that you don't usually see."
Yongxuan sighed slightly, it's not that he didn't believe Yongxuan's words, he really had deep concerns in his heart, after hesitating for a moment, he still planned to speak out, so as to avoid any misunderstanding and barrier between the brothers in the future.
"Eighth brother, there is something I have never asked you before, but I think it is too early to think about it because you are still young. But after hearing some things recently, I think it is necessary to ask you what you think. "
In fact, Yongxuan had long thought that Yongxuan would ask this question sooner or later, so she was not surprised at all, instead she pursed her lips and said with a smile, "Fourth brother, if you have anything to say, just say it, what is there between you and my brother?" It cannot be said."
"In that case, then I'll just say it straight." Yongxuan stared at Yongxuan with a serious face, and asked in a deep voice: "Eighth brother, do you... want that seat very much?"
Although Yongxuan didn't say it clearly, Yongxuan could hear it clearly, and then she smiled indifferently, and said in a rather firm tone: "Of course, all I have been doing is for this purpose."
Yongxuan sighed slightly, he knew very well the cruelty of the battle for the throne, so he didn't want his only brother to participate in it, but on the other hand, he also knew that Yongxuan was a man with means and ambitions. People, who are only nine years old, have already shown their signs, and they must be better in the future. It is normal for such a person to be unwilling to be mediocre.
Seeing that Yongxuan kept his head down and did not speak, Yongxuan asked in an affirmative tone that could not be refused: "Fourth brother, you will help me, right?"
Yongxie knew that if there was no answer today, the brothers would be farther and farther apart, so he raised his head and pursed his lips helplessly, and said, "If I refuse...will you regard me as an enemy?"
"Not yet..." Yongxuan did not lie on this issue, but only half a sentence was left unsaid, 'No matter who blocks my way, then whoever is my enemy. '
"Forget it, who told you to be my only younger brother." Yong Xun exhaled, and his mood immediately relaxed a lot. Perhaps in his heart, this younger brother is more important than other things.
Some things need not be said clearly, but those who listen will naturally understand. Yongxuan understands that he will have a very good help from now on, which is of great help to him at this stage, and Yongxuan's own ability Weak, but his ambition is not as big as his.
If Yongxuan had no ambitions, maybe Yongxuan would try her best to fight for it, but if Yongxuan wanted to fight, then Yongxuan would be willing to help. After all, no matter which one of them gets the seat, they will definitely treat the other well. For the cruel royal family, such a result is already considered pretty good.
Personally sent Yongxuan outside the hall, Yongxuan looked at the back of the fourth brother leaving, and felt somewhat guilty in his heart. To be honest, he didn't pay much attention to brotherhood. The reason why he said this was completely I am using the feelings of the fourth brother, but this is the helplessness of being in the royal family. If you want to win, you have to use any means.
At this time, a little eunuch came to Yongxuan's side quickly, first looked around, and after confirming that there was no one there, he whispered in Yongxuan's ear: "Eighth elder brother, I heard that the emperor has returned to the imperial study. , and passed the news to the prince to discuss matters."
"You did a good job, let's go." Yongxuan raised his hand and waved the little eunuch away, looked up at the direction of the imperial study room, thought for a moment, then smiled excitedly, and walked quickly towards the imperial study room gone.
☆、Night talk in the study
Outside the imperial study room, Yongxuan stopped by the wall not far from the door, carefully listening to the movement in the house, but because Long Yintian was still discussing state affairs with Hongzhou, so in order not to disturb them, Yongxuan chose to temporarily He stayed outside the door, intending to wait for Hong Zhou to leave before entering.
Although the imperial guards next to him saw the sneaky look of the eighth elder brother, they didn't see it at all, because the emperor has always indulged the eighth elder brother. Although there is no clear purpose, in fact, the eighth elder brother Elder Brother has already been able to freely enter and exit the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Long Yintian, who was writing a letter while talking to Hongzhou, suddenly paused his hand without warning, and raised his head to glance outside. Although Hongzhou standing beside him was puzzled, he did not Dare to think more.
After seeing a black figure outside the window, Long Yintian raised the corner of his mouth slightly, then put the written letter in the envelope and handed it to Hongzhou, and said meaningfully: "With this A letter can be convenient for you to do things, but it is best not to use it unless it is a last resort."
"My brother understands." Hong Zhou took the letter carefully and put it close to him, and then left with a salute. He could see that Long Yintian seemed to have other things to do, so he didn't stay too long.
After Hongzhou left, Long Yintian looked at the door and said loudly: "Don't hide outside the door and eavesdrop, come in."
Yongxuan thought he hid it well, but he didn't expect Long Yintian to find out quickly, and was caught on the spot, so he inevitably felt a little guilty, but fortunately, he didn't hear any important conversation at all.
Secretly sticking out her tongue, Yongxuan took a deep breath, pretended to be nonchalant, stepped into the imperial study room, and saluted Long Yintian according to the rules.
Looking carefully at Yongxuan, Long Yintian saw that he seemed to have something to say, but he was thinking about something and refused to speak.
Yongxuan has always been a different person, and usually looks obedient and obedient, but in fact he is the most courageous and adventurous of all the elder brothers.
After thinking for a while, Long Yintian ordered aloud: "Wu Shulai, go to the imperial dining room and get some freshly made snacks. Remember to pick some of Yongxuan's favorites."
Wu Shulai hurriedly responded, then turned around and left the imperial study room quickly, and closed the door very carefully when leaving, and at the same time transferred the two imperial guards guarding the door away.
Having been by Long Yintian's side for so many years, Wu Shulai has long been aware of the small hints in his words, so he immediately heard what he meant, and naturally considered every detail.
As soon as Wu Shulai closed the door, Yongxuan changed her obedient appearance and ran to Long Yintian's side in a few steps, with a slightly anxious look on her face, and said in a cautious tone: "Huang Ama, my servant didn't mean to The eavesdroppers just didn't want to disturb you and Uncle Wu talking about business, so they stayed at the door and didn't come in."
Long Yintian didn't feel any dissatisfaction or anger because of this, and he didn't seem to be surprised by this incident. Instead, he looked at Yongxuan meaningfully, and said with deep meaning in his words: "Today's incident Forget it, you are very smart, I believe that you will be able to do things properly."
Yongxuan originally thought that he could hide it from Long Yintian's eyes, but unfortunately, the result was not as he expected; moreover, Long Yintian's words were secretly warning Yongxuan not to play tricks, at least not to be fooled by him. Playing tricks in front of him, because these are absolutely impossible to hide from his eyes.
Yongxuan's heart began to feel a little uneasy. When he was nervous, he didn't know how to answer, so he just said the beginning and he couldn't continue: "Huang Ama..."
Long Yintian saw that Yongxuan seemed a little nervous, so he reached out and hugged him on his lap, while gently stroking his back with his hands, he asked in a soft tone: "Okay, don't worry, it's okay. It’s just that I want to know, what’s the big deal that deserves you to come to the Imperial Study in person at this time?”
Yongxuan felt Long Yintian's unique gentleness, and his nervousness disappeared immediately. In fact, he had already guessed that Long Yintian was just talking about him at most, because he hadn't done anything too much, and he was far from it. Touched Long Yintian's bottom line.
After a quick turn of her mind, Yongxuan leaned her head on Long Yintian's shoulder, and said in a slightly coquettish tone: "Actually, it's nothing serious, but I saw a lot of interesting things when I left the palace today. , so I am anxious to share it with Huang Ama."
"Oh? Tell me." Long Yintian was slightly surprised, and at the same time, he became very interested in Yongxuan's words. Perhaps in the eyes of others, Yongxuan's behavior was childish, but Long Yintian did not. Don't think so.
Because he felt that the daily communication between father and son was extremely necessary, and before Yongxuan, no brother had ever come to chat with him on his own initiative, so Yongxuan's move naturally aroused his great interest.
Yongxuan smiled and described in detail what he saw and heard when he left the palace today, especially the incident when he saw Nu Dahai and Xinyue, he even added embellishments, because he already knew I did not understand Long Yintian's arrangement at the banquet, so I am not afraid of missing anything at this time.
Long Yintian listened very patiently, and added a few words from time to time, giving the impression that he was really like a pair of ordinary father and son.
Perhaps at the beginning, Yongxuan was still a little vigilant, but after talking about it, he also unknowingly let go, and his true emotions were also inadvertently revealed, but he didn't notice it himself.
It's just that this little change in Yongxuan could not escape Long Yintian's eyes, and he was happy to see such a change. As for the little inadequacy in Yongxuan's words, he would also It's just that I didn't hear it.
While talking, Yongxuan suddenly thought that he could go out of the palace occasionally to have fun, but it seems that Long Yintian has never been out of the palace recently, so he couldn't help persuading him half-jokingly: "Actually, I can go out occasionally. Going around the palace is also very interesting, Huang Ama shouldn't stay in the palace all the time, it's too boring."
Faced with Yongxuan's concern, Long Yintian felt very useful, so his tone was much softer than usual: "There are too many troublesome things recently, I will definitely go out of the palace with you when I am free."
Being able to go out to play with Huang Ama in the palace is something Yongxuan has been looking forward to for a long time, so he hastened to finish his words, for fear that Long Yintian would go back on his word: "It's a deal! Huang Ama don't play tricks when the time comes."
"I have a good word, and I will never renege on my debt." Long Yintian raised his hand and touched Yongxuan's head, and then called Wu Shulai, who had been standing at the door for a long time, to come in.
Originally, the imperial study room was not far from the imperial dining room, but Wu Shulai had already stood at the door for a long time in order not to disturb the relationship between the emperor and the eighth elder brother.
It wasn't until the emperor opened his mouth that he quickly walked into the imperial study, placed all kinds of snacks in the food box on the desk one by one, and then quietly retreated outside the door very discerningly.
Looking at the exquisite snacks on the table, Yongxuan picked a piece of moderate size, but he didn't put it in his mouth, but handed it to Long Yintian, and said with certainty: "Huang Ama will definitely not eat it at night. Eat as much as you want, it’s better to eat more snacks, or you won’t be able to sleep well at night if you’re hungry.”
Long Yintian opened his mouth with a slight smile, and ate the whole piece of snack that Yongxuan handed over, his lips brushed against Yongxuan's fingertips inadvertently.
Yongxuan's hand trembled slightly, and she immediately retracted it as if she had been electrocuted. She turned her gaze away in a little panic, and her cheeks turned red uncontrollably. This was not the first time he had experienced this strange feeling of heart palpitations. , but it is the first time that it is so intuitive and obvious.
Although he still doesn't quite understand what's going on, relying on his own intelligence, he still figured out some things very quickly, but there is still a lack of necessary proof.
Although Long Yintian saw that Yongxuan was a little strange, he didn't think much about it, because there were many people who behaved like this in front of him, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
Also picked up a piece of dim sum and handed it to Yongxuan's mouth, and watching him eat it obediently, Long Yintian simply relaxed and began to enjoy this rare and warm time.
He didn't bring Yongxuan back to the bedroom until the plates on the table were empty. Of course, this was still the result of Yongxuan's willfulness.
☆, enter the palace with respect
Early the next morning, Xinyue moved to an independent courtyard outside the General's Mansion. Originally, she didn't have any belongings, but for the sake of the royal family's dignity, the Empress Dowager gave a lot of gold, silver and silk clothes against her will. Something like that, at least a discerning person can tell at a glance that the person living here is a personality.
In fact, it was said to be a temporary residence, but the emperor did not specify the time limit. Besides, Xinyue is considered an adult now, and the marriage has not been discussed yet because she just encountered a disaster, so how long she will stay is still unknown.
However, Xinyue has a dignified identity after all, and the old and young people in the general's mansion naturally dare not neglect. Although the old lady doesn't like Xinyue very much and thinks her arrival has broken the peace of the family, Nu Dahai's wife However, Yanji is very enthusiastic about Xinyue, expressing sympathy for what happened to her both inside and outside the words.
Because Yanji's daughter Luo Lin and Xinyue are about the same age, they quickly become good friends. As time goes by, Xinyue and Luo Lin's older brother Jiyuan gradually become acquainted.
On the surface, the arrival of Xinyue didn't seem to have brought much change to the General's Mansion, and Xinyue got along with everyone in the mansion in harmony.
Xinyue's younger brother Keshan was arranged to live in the elder brother's house in the palace, and the queen also specially selected a few clever little eunuchs to serve him, so Keshan quickly became familiar with the life in the palace. In the upper study room, I gradually got to know a few older brothers, and of course the one who has the best relationship with him is Yong Rong, who has a generous personality.
And the queen mother who treats Keshan the best in this palace, whenever she has free time, the queen mother will call Keshan to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to drink tea and chat. The reason, besides his own intelligence and sensibility, is naturally his identity That's it.
Because the Queen Mother loves children just like those ordinary old people, and the identities of the elder brothers are too sensitive, she feels that it is not a good thing to get too close to anyone; before, only Qing'er was by her side, Later, there were more Hejia and Lanxin, and this time Keshan was added. Anyway, the old man still likes to be lively.
However, although Keshan lived well in the palace, as his own sister, Xinyue never visited him once. On the contrary, Yanji visited him twice by taking the opportunity of begging to see the queen, and even Talking to him about Xinyue's recent situation, it gave people the impression that Yan Ji was Keshan's relative.
Although the queen felt a little confused when she heard about it, she didn't ask any more questions. After all, it was a family matter. As a queen, she couldn't control it that much. As long as nothing major happened, she would just turn a blind eye and close it. Only eyes.
Although Long Yintian had heard about Keshan's affairs, he didn't care about them at all. In his opinion, he didn't need to worry about these matters at all. With the queen around, he could naturally handle them well.
Originally, he could take this opportunity to relax for a while, but the passing of Prince Zhuang made him busy again.
Although Hong Zhou was planning and arranging the follow-up incident on the surface, Long Yintian also helped secretly. Otherwise, considering Hong Zhou's ability and power, it would be very difficult to completely cut off Prince Zhuang's followers.
Fortunately, Hong Zhou is also a very smart person, knowing when to act and when to play dumb, so the whole thing went relatively smoothly.
Although he has been busy for more than half a year, it is inevitable that some of them slipped through the net. Long Yintian simply handed over the full authority to Hong Zhou. After all, he is quite at ease with his younger brother.
Just after lunch, Long Yintian planned to go to the Palace of Compassion and Peace to greet the Empress Dowager in the afternoon. After all, he has been busy for several months, and the greetings are not as frequent as before. Too much is not easy to deal with, the old man, sometimes the most stubborn.
However, before Long Yintian left the gate of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, a young eunuch rushed to report that he had visited the Queen Mother with Princess Jing this morning, and that he was having tea and chatting with the Queen in Kunning Palace.
'Why did He Jing come to the palace this year? '
Although Long Yintian was puzzled, he changed his mind just now after hearing that the Empress Dowager had chatted with Princess He Jing all morning, instead of going to the Palace of Compassion and Peace to disturb the Empress Dowager's rest, she turned and walked in the direction of Kunning Palace .
In the Kunning Palace, He Jing had a rare chat with the queen for a long time. Before that, she had always held a grudge against the queen. After all, the queen was her mother-in-law, and although she treated her pretty well afterwards, there was still a gap in her heart Yes, so she avoided meeting the queen for a long time, even if it was unavoidable, it was just a few polite words on the surface.
But this time entering the palace changed He Jing's view of the queen, because the queen is not as self-confident and above others as she thought, on the contrary, she is more approachable than before. It also feels a lot lighter.
Moreover, He Jing didn't feel any difference between the queen's treatment of her and the previous queen's life, and sometimes she inadvertently recalled the scenes when she was a child, which made her agree with this successor even more, and even She felt that it was far better for Concubine Xian to be the queen than other concubines.
When Long Yintian walked into Kunning Palace, he happened to see the warm scene of He Jing, the Empress, and Lan Xin getting along well, especially Lan Xin who was tired of being around He Jing, who seemed to like this dignified sister very much.
Unexpectedly, the emperor would arrive suddenly, the queen hurriedly stood up to respond in surprise, and Lan Xin happily followed, only He Jing seemed to be worried about something, and deliberately walked in the back while hesitating.
Although the queen was very happy in her heart, she still somewhat complained about the sudden attack of the emperor, so she unconsciously said the words: "Why didn't the emperor inform you when he was coming to Kunning Palace, so that the concubine could prepare for it?" , it will be bad if you neglect the emperor."
Long Yintian has long been used to the queen's straightforward temperament, so he didn't think too much about her words, but only half-jokingly said: "Okay, I will definitely send someone to inform you in advance next time."
"Hey? How can I do it!" Lan Xin reacted quickly, and immediately heard the inappropriateness of the queen's words, so she quickly made up for it with a smile: "If Huang Ama wants to come, she can come anytime, but my son I look forward to Huang Ama coming every day~"
Long Yintian didn't respond to Lan Xin's words, but just raised his hand and touched her head, then walked to the main seat and sat down.
Only then did the queen realize her slip of the tongue, so she hurriedly called for Nanny Rong to bring some refreshments, and at the same time diverted everyone's attention.
And Lan Xin happily snuggled up beside the queen. The queen is her mother-in-law, and there was nothing disrespectful about her doing so, on the contrary, it showed the warmth of family affection.
Facing such a scene, He Jing felt a little embarrassed, so he just watched quietly, and secretly observed Lan Xin, a smart little sister.
After chatting casually for a while, Long Yintian saw that He Jing seemed to have something to say all the time, but for some reason he refused to speak, so he simply made the words clear and asked: "He Jing, you suddenly entered the palace today. Is there something wrong?"
He Jing felt that the timing was not right, because she did not expect that the emperor would come to Kunning Palace at this time, and she still wanted to talk to the emperor alone, so she hesitated a little, but she still did not say the purpose of this trip: " It's not a big deal, it's just that I haven't seen Huang Ama for a long time, and I'm worried about it, so I went into the palace to have a look."
Long Yintian heard that what He Jing said was just a scene, so he didn't ask any more questions, and after chatting for a while, he got up and left, and when he left, he specially called He Jing, he also wanted to have a chance to have a good time with He Jing have a chat.
Walking on the small path in the imperial garden, He Jing rarely spoke about his own affairs: "Actually...the minister came to the palace this time because he really wanted to ask the emperor for permission."
Long Yintian didn't ask any more questions, he just thought about it for a while, and suddenly understood, so he said in a positive tone: "The death day of Xiaoxian should be coming soon."
He Jing was a little surprised, and the look in Long Yintian's eyes became much more complicated. She always thought that the emperor had forgotten the anniversary of her mother's death, otherwise why hadn't the emperor paid homage to her forehead for so many years? mother?
"Yes, after so many years, I want to go to the imperial mausoleum to pay homage to my mother, so I hope Huang Ama can grant her permission."
"It's rare for you to be filial, so how can I not allow it." Long Yintian didn't pay much attention to the anniversary of Empress Xiaoxian's death. She is also the biological daughter of Empress Xiaoxian, so it is human nature to miss her so much.
However, in order to prevent He Jing from being too indulging in sadness, he immediately added another sentence: "I saw you and Lan Xin seem to have a good chat today, why don't you let her go with you, or take the opportunity to let her Relax. Her parents died young at a young age, so it is not so easy to let go of such a change."
"These ministers have heard about it before. After talking today, the ministers also found that they are very close to Lan Xin. It is rare to have a caring sister. Huang Ama can rest assured." Although He Jing could not see Knowing the emperor's true intentions, she still has a good impression of Lan Xin, and she has also heard about Lan Xin's experience before entering the palace, so the emperor's arrangement did not arouse her disgust.
Long Yintian nodded, and stopped bringing up those old events, and instead chatted with He Jing
Although her temper is a little blunt and she has no discernment, at least she still has this insight.
"Don't worry, Queen Mother, my son has written it down." Long Yintian replied with a smile on his face, and he understood the general idea in his heart.
The empress dowager either felt that he had not visited the empress too often, so she took the opportunity to hint at him; Lushui'er reminded him.
"Just write it down." The queen mother nodded in satisfaction, and then turned the topic to Xinyue, the siblings: "The Ai family just told the queen that Prince Narui is really a blessing. It's a pity that only these two helpless children are left behind."
The queen also echoed her voice, and she also showed a lot of maternal love in her words. After all, she now has a twelfth elder brother. As a first-time mother, she naturally loves her children a little more, so she also treats Keshan even more. An extra favor; Long Yintian didn't speak much, and most of the time he listened to the queen mother chatting about family affairs.
However, the Queen Mother is also a shrewd person, and in a few words, she revealed the full set of their family background from Xinyue and Keshan. After all, Prince Narui lives in the south all the year round, and it is impossible to know many things without asking carefully. Find out that some unknown people are left in the palace, if something happens, it will be troublesome, although the emperor will definitely send someone to investigate, but the queen mother still believes in her own vision.
Long Yintian also took this opportunity to observe the siblings Xia Xinyue and Keshan carefully, and he also had a rough calculation in his heart.
Keshan not only knows the rules, but also has a relatively calm temper. When he shouldn't speak, he just sits and listens obediently. The child must have received a very good family education before.
As for that Xinyue Gege, Long Yintian couldn't catch her eyes at all. She couldn't see the aristocratic air in this Gege, and she often answered irrelevant questions and cried at every turn. Just find someone in this palace. All the grand ladies outperformed her.
In fact, not only Long Yintian sees it this way, but even the queen mother and queen feel the same way, so gradually the queen mother is not as enthusiastic about this new moon as when she first came, but when she looks at Keshan, she has more eyes. Appreciate the color.
The family chat was almost finished, and all the things that should be seen were seen. The queen mother naturally said that she was back to the business: "Your Majesty, the Ai family is very pitiful to see the two brothers and sisters. I wonder how the emperor plans to arrange them?"
Long Yintian smiled slightly, and said the plan he had in mind: "Keshan is the orphan of Prince Rui, and I feel deeply sorry for Prince Rui's suffering, so I plan to let Keshan inherit the line of Prince Rui and seal the county. King, I will stay in the capital in the future. However, I still intend to listen to the opinions of other princes about how to arrange it."
Seeing that the emperor had brought out the name of the clan, the queen mother couldn't ask any further questions. After all, Keshan was going to inherit the title of the prince, so it would be best for the clan to arrange it.
After hearing the emperor's words, Keshan's face showed a lot of joy. After all, he is not a son of the eldest son. If there were not such changes in his family, then the county king would not be in his turn anyway.
In contrast, Xinyue seemed uneasy, because the emperor didn't mention her at all, she didn't know how the clan would arrange herself, and she was even more afraid that she would never see the hero in her heart again in the future, but all these things happened again. It's not her who has the final say, even if she is anxious, it won't help.
In the evening, it is naturally the time to entertain and reward the returning soldiers, but this time there are not many ministers present, on the contrary, all the old people from the clan are here, and this naturally includes the famous Hong Zhou from the clan .
Prince Zhuang is running out of time. Once Prince Zhuang passes away, the older generation of power holders will completely withdraw from the stage of history. Now, Hong Zhou is doing a great job in both the imperial court and the clan. There is no shortage of the emperor's support, so even though Hong Zhou has not taken over as the capital of Zhenghuang Banner, anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is only a matter of time, so it is only normal for many people to turn to Hong Zhou for their own interests .
After the banquet started, Hongzhou couldn't help but frowned after hearing the eunuch Xuanzhi read a few rewards, and turned his head to look at Yongbi who was sitting not far from him, his eyes were full of concern.
Yongbi was already prepared in his heart, and he also guessed that this would be the result. It was already considered good not to be punished by the emperor, so while smiling wryly, he just shook his head at Hongzhou, indicating that he was fine.
Seeing that Yongbi didn't care about the lack of a reward, Hong Zhou naturally felt relieved, and then turned his attention to the emperor, because at this time the emperor had already asked the clan ministers how to arrange for Prince Rui's bereaved son.
☆, the beginning of ambition
In fact, as early as a few days ago, the ministers of the imperial family had already discussed in detail how to place the orphan of Prince Rui, and they also presented the prepared book to the emperor. At this moment, the emperor raised this matter at the banquet, but It's just a formality in front of the princes and ministers. To put it bluntly, it's just to show the emperor's grace.
An old official of the clan stood up very tacitly, and recited the drafted plan according to the scriptures, and other clan ministers also followed suit. Although Hong Zhou did not directly participate, he also knew the emperor's intentions, so naturally He also spoke in agreement.
It stands to reason that all the ministers of the clan have no objection, so this matter should come to an end, and I just waited for my son to send someone to arrange it later, but I didn't expect Nu Dahai, who had been silent all this time, to leave suddenly She came out and knelt down on one knee, and said sincerely: "Your Majesty, Gege and little Baylor have suffered such a catastrophe at a young age, and I am deeply saddened. What a weak woman like Gege should want most is the warmth of home, and when she returns home On the way to Beijing, Gege has also mentioned this matter to me many times, so I implore the emperor to allow Gege to stay in the general's mansion for a while, so as to help Gege get out of the shadow of losing a loved one as soon as possible."
After hearing Nu Dahai's words, all the ministers present looked at him in unison, and couldn't help whispering at the same time. Even Hong Zhou looked at him with the eyes of an idiot, and secretly said in his heart :'What kind of identity is this Gege? He even got it in front of all the ministers and said, Nu Dahai, do you have any brains?Besides, what kind of family warmth? Didn't you clearly accuse the royal family of being ruthless? It seems that if the fourth brother doesn't take you into action, I'm afraid he will be sorry for the surname Aixinjueluo. '
Long Yintian, who was sitting on the dragon chair, was furious when he heard this. Although he knew in his heart that the relationship between Nu Dahai and Xinyue had been unclear for a long time, what he didn't expect was that this Nu Dahai would dare to act so blatantly. Please order, and the implication is that the royal family has no warmth, only you, the general's mansion, have it.
Long Yintian narrowed his eyes slightly, and his face was also very gloomy. Since you, a general, are so capable and upright, let's see how far you can go without the support of Aixinjueluo's family.
Just when everyone thought the emperor would be furious, Long Yintian said unhurriedly: "Nu Dahai, I have granted your request. During the period before Xinyue leaves the cabinet, let me She'll stay in the General's Mansion temporarily. But Xinyue is still Gege after all, so don't neglect her."
After hearing this, Nu Dahai was overjoyed, and hastily kowtowed: "My humble minister kowtows to thank the emperor for his kindness."
The ministers next to him were suddenly dumbfounded, and they were a little unclear about this sudden change. Therefore, only Yongbi, who knew the inside story of the matter, could truly understand the emperor's thoughts. I don't care so much.
Although the banquet in the hall is still going on, those things that happened in it were quickly known by outsiders. Of course, different people have different methods and eyeliners, just like the eighth elder brother Yongxuan.
"You mean that instead of being angry, Huang Ama actually allowed that Princess to live in the general's mansion?" In the side hall, Yongxuan was very surprised when he heard the news, because it completely overturned his view of Huang Ama. Logically, Huang Ama would never do such a useless thing.
"It's absolutely true, and I was surprised when I heard the news, so I came here to ask you." Yongxie, who was supposed to go back to the palace, was sitting beside Yongxuan leisurely at this moment. The most important thing is to tell his fellow brother what happened just now, and he also hopes to find the answer from the eighth brother.
Yongxuan always felt that there was something in this incident that he hadn't noticed, so after thinking for a while, he said to Yongxuan again: "Fourth brother, can you explain this incident in detail from the beginning?"
"Well, good." Although Yongxuan didn't know what Yongxuan was thinking of, she still described every detail he had heard, and told Yongxuan all the gossip he knew. Xuan.
"So that's it, it makes sense..." After sorting out the news completely, Yongxuan quickly understood the ins and outs of the whole matter, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart that Huang Ama was different and moody, and at the same time I also mourned for Nu Dahai and the people in the General's Mansion.
Yongxie's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he hurriedly asked: "Eighth brother, what did you find?"
"This is a trick to 'direct disaster to the east', and the general of Nu Dahai is probably going to make it to the end." As he spoke, Yongxuan combined the news he heard from Yongbi with what happened today. After a detailed analysis, although the results were unexpected, they all seemed reasonable.
Yongxie frowned and thought for a while after hearing this. After all, it was about the face of the royal family. He really didn't expect Huang Ama to deal with it like this, so he still asked with some uncertainty: "Do you really think Huang Ama is Think so?"
"Although I can't be absolutely sure, it should be [-]%." Of course Yongxuan guessed what Yongxuan's doubts were, so he further explained: "I have the most chances to get along with Huang Ama, so I will find some It's normal to see details that you don't usually see."
Yongxuan sighed slightly, it's not that he didn't believe Yongxuan's words, he really had deep concerns in his heart, after hesitating for a moment, he still planned to speak out, so as to avoid any misunderstanding and barrier between the brothers in the future.
"Eighth brother, there is something I have never asked you before, but I think it is too early to think about it because you are still young. But after hearing some things recently, I think it is necessary to ask you what you think. "
In fact, Yongxuan had long thought that Yongxuan would ask this question sooner or later, so she was not surprised at all, instead she pursed her lips and said with a smile, "Fourth brother, if you have anything to say, just say it, what is there between you and my brother?" It cannot be said."
"In that case, then I'll just say it straight." Yongxuan stared at Yongxuan with a serious face, and asked in a deep voice: "Eighth brother, do you... want that seat very much?"
Although Yongxuan didn't say it clearly, Yongxuan could hear it clearly, and then she smiled indifferently, and said in a rather firm tone: "Of course, all I have been doing is for this purpose."
Yongxuan sighed slightly, he knew very well the cruelty of the battle for the throne, so he didn't want his only brother to participate in it, but on the other hand, he also knew that Yongxuan was a man with means and ambitions. People, who are only nine years old, have already shown their signs, and they must be better in the future. It is normal for such a person to be unwilling to be mediocre.
Seeing that Yongxuan kept his head down and did not speak, Yongxuan asked in an affirmative tone that could not be refused: "Fourth brother, you will help me, right?"
Yongxie knew that if there was no answer today, the brothers would be farther and farther apart, so he raised his head and pursed his lips helplessly, and said, "If I refuse...will you regard me as an enemy?"
"Not yet..." Yongxuan did not lie on this issue, but only half a sentence was left unsaid, 'No matter who blocks my way, then whoever is my enemy. '
"Forget it, who told you to be my only younger brother." Yong Xun exhaled, and his mood immediately relaxed a lot. Perhaps in his heart, this younger brother is more important than other things.
Some things need not be said clearly, but those who listen will naturally understand. Yongxuan understands that he will have a very good help from now on, which is of great help to him at this stage, and Yongxuan's own ability Weak, but his ambition is not as big as his.
If Yongxuan had no ambitions, maybe Yongxuan would try her best to fight for it, but if Yongxuan wanted to fight, then Yongxuan would be willing to help. After all, no matter which one of them gets the seat, they will definitely treat the other well. For the cruel royal family, such a result is already considered pretty good.
Personally sent Yongxuan outside the hall, Yongxuan looked at the back of the fourth brother leaving, and felt somewhat guilty in his heart. To be honest, he didn't pay much attention to brotherhood. The reason why he said this was completely I am using the feelings of the fourth brother, but this is the helplessness of being in the royal family. If you want to win, you have to use any means.
At this time, a little eunuch came to Yongxuan's side quickly, first looked around, and after confirming that there was no one there, he whispered in Yongxuan's ear: "Eighth elder brother, I heard that the emperor has returned to the imperial study. , and passed the news to the prince to discuss matters."
"You did a good job, let's go." Yongxuan raised his hand and waved the little eunuch away, looked up at the direction of the imperial study room, thought for a moment, then smiled excitedly, and walked quickly towards the imperial study room gone.
☆、Night talk in the study
Outside the imperial study room, Yongxuan stopped by the wall not far from the door, carefully listening to the movement in the house, but because Long Yintian was still discussing state affairs with Hongzhou, so in order not to disturb them, Yongxuan chose to temporarily He stayed outside the door, intending to wait for Hong Zhou to leave before entering.
Although the imperial guards next to him saw the sneaky look of the eighth elder brother, they didn't see it at all, because the emperor has always indulged the eighth elder brother. Although there is no clear purpose, in fact, the eighth elder brother Elder Brother has already been able to freely enter and exit the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Long Yintian, who was writing a letter while talking to Hongzhou, suddenly paused his hand without warning, and raised his head to glance outside. Although Hongzhou standing beside him was puzzled, he did not Dare to think more.
After seeing a black figure outside the window, Long Yintian raised the corner of his mouth slightly, then put the written letter in the envelope and handed it to Hongzhou, and said meaningfully: "With this A letter can be convenient for you to do things, but it is best not to use it unless it is a last resort."
"My brother understands." Hong Zhou took the letter carefully and put it close to him, and then left with a salute. He could see that Long Yintian seemed to have other things to do, so he didn't stay too long.
After Hongzhou left, Long Yintian looked at the door and said loudly: "Don't hide outside the door and eavesdrop, come in."
Yongxuan thought he hid it well, but he didn't expect Long Yintian to find out quickly, and was caught on the spot, so he inevitably felt a little guilty, but fortunately, he didn't hear any important conversation at all.
Secretly sticking out her tongue, Yongxuan took a deep breath, pretended to be nonchalant, stepped into the imperial study room, and saluted Long Yintian according to the rules.
Looking carefully at Yongxuan, Long Yintian saw that he seemed to have something to say, but he was thinking about something and refused to speak.
Yongxuan has always been a different person, and usually looks obedient and obedient, but in fact he is the most courageous and adventurous of all the elder brothers.
After thinking for a while, Long Yintian ordered aloud: "Wu Shulai, go to the imperial dining room and get some freshly made snacks. Remember to pick some of Yongxuan's favorites."
Wu Shulai hurriedly responded, then turned around and left the imperial study room quickly, and closed the door very carefully when leaving, and at the same time transferred the two imperial guards guarding the door away.
Having been by Long Yintian's side for so many years, Wu Shulai has long been aware of the small hints in his words, so he immediately heard what he meant, and naturally considered every detail.
As soon as Wu Shulai closed the door, Yongxuan changed her obedient appearance and ran to Long Yintian's side in a few steps, with a slightly anxious look on her face, and said in a cautious tone: "Huang Ama, my servant didn't mean to The eavesdroppers just didn't want to disturb you and Uncle Wu talking about business, so they stayed at the door and didn't come in."
Long Yintian didn't feel any dissatisfaction or anger because of this, and he didn't seem to be surprised by this incident. Instead, he looked at Yongxuan meaningfully, and said with deep meaning in his words: "Today's incident Forget it, you are very smart, I believe that you will be able to do things properly."
Yongxuan originally thought that he could hide it from Long Yintian's eyes, but unfortunately, the result was not as he expected; moreover, Long Yintian's words were secretly warning Yongxuan not to play tricks, at least not to be fooled by him. Playing tricks in front of him, because these are absolutely impossible to hide from his eyes.
Yongxuan's heart began to feel a little uneasy. When he was nervous, he didn't know how to answer, so he just said the beginning and he couldn't continue: "Huang Ama..."
Long Yintian saw that Yongxuan seemed a little nervous, so he reached out and hugged him on his lap, while gently stroking his back with his hands, he asked in a soft tone: "Okay, don't worry, it's okay. It’s just that I want to know, what’s the big deal that deserves you to come to the Imperial Study in person at this time?”
Yongxuan felt Long Yintian's unique gentleness, and his nervousness disappeared immediately. In fact, he had already guessed that Long Yintian was just talking about him at most, because he hadn't done anything too much, and he was far from it. Touched Long Yintian's bottom line.
After a quick turn of her mind, Yongxuan leaned her head on Long Yintian's shoulder, and said in a slightly coquettish tone: "Actually, it's nothing serious, but I saw a lot of interesting things when I left the palace today. , so I am anxious to share it with Huang Ama."
"Oh? Tell me." Long Yintian was slightly surprised, and at the same time, he became very interested in Yongxuan's words. Perhaps in the eyes of others, Yongxuan's behavior was childish, but Long Yintian did not. Don't think so.
Because he felt that the daily communication between father and son was extremely necessary, and before Yongxuan, no brother had ever come to chat with him on his own initiative, so Yongxuan's move naturally aroused his great interest.
Yongxuan smiled and described in detail what he saw and heard when he left the palace today, especially the incident when he saw Nu Dahai and Xinyue, he even added embellishments, because he already knew I did not understand Long Yintian's arrangement at the banquet, so I am not afraid of missing anything at this time.
Long Yintian listened very patiently, and added a few words from time to time, giving the impression that he was really like a pair of ordinary father and son.
Perhaps at the beginning, Yongxuan was still a little vigilant, but after talking about it, he also unknowingly let go, and his true emotions were also inadvertently revealed, but he didn't notice it himself.
It's just that this little change in Yongxuan could not escape Long Yintian's eyes, and he was happy to see such a change. As for the little inadequacy in Yongxuan's words, he would also It's just that I didn't hear it.
While talking, Yongxuan suddenly thought that he could go out of the palace occasionally to have fun, but it seems that Long Yintian has never been out of the palace recently, so he couldn't help persuading him half-jokingly: "Actually, I can go out occasionally. Going around the palace is also very interesting, Huang Ama shouldn't stay in the palace all the time, it's too boring."
Faced with Yongxuan's concern, Long Yintian felt very useful, so his tone was much softer than usual: "There are too many troublesome things recently, I will definitely go out of the palace with you when I am free."
Being able to go out to play with Huang Ama in the palace is something Yongxuan has been looking forward to for a long time, so he hastened to finish his words, for fear that Long Yintian would go back on his word: "It's a deal! Huang Ama don't play tricks when the time comes."
"I have a good word, and I will never renege on my debt." Long Yintian raised his hand and touched Yongxuan's head, and then called Wu Shulai, who had been standing at the door for a long time, to come in.
Originally, the imperial study room was not far from the imperial dining room, but Wu Shulai had already stood at the door for a long time in order not to disturb the relationship between the emperor and the eighth elder brother.
It wasn't until the emperor opened his mouth that he quickly walked into the imperial study, placed all kinds of snacks in the food box on the desk one by one, and then quietly retreated outside the door very discerningly.
Looking at the exquisite snacks on the table, Yongxuan picked a piece of moderate size, but he didn't put it in his mouth, but handed it to Long Yintian, and said with certainty: "Huang Ama will definitely not eat it at night. Eat as much as you want, it’s better to eat more snacks, or you won’t be able to sleep well at night if you’re hungry.”
Long Yintian opened his mouth with a slight smile, and ate the whole piece of snack that Yongxuan handed over, his lips brushed against Yongxuan's fingertips inadvertently.
Yongxuan's hand trembled slightly, and she immediately retracted it as if she had been electrocuted. She turned her gaze away in a little panic, and her cheeks turned red uncontrollably. This was not the first time he had experienced this strange feeling of heart palpitations. , but it is the first time that it is so intuitive and obvious.
Although he still doesn't quite understand what's going on, relying on his own intelligence, he still figured out some things very quickly, but there is still a lack of necessary proof.
Although Long Yintian saw that Yongxuan was a little strange, he didn't think much about it, because there were many people who behaved like this in front of him, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
Also picked up a piece of dim sum and handed it to Yongxuan's mouth, and watching him eat it obediently, Long Yintian simply relaxed and began to enjoy this rare and warm time.
He didn't bring Yongxuan back to the bedroom until the plates on the table were empty. Of course, this was still the result of Yongxuan's willfulness.
☆, enter the palace with respect
Early the next morning, Xinyue moved to an independent courtyard outside the General's Mansion. Originally, she didn't have any belongings, but for the sake of the royal family's dignity, the Empress Dowager gave a lot of gold, silver and silk clothes against her will. Something like that, at least a discerning person can tell at a glance that the person living here is a personality.
In fact, it was said to be a temporary residence, but the emperor did not specify the time limit. Besides, Xinyue is considered an adult now, and the marriage has not been discussed yet because she just encountered a disaster, so how long she will stay is still unknown.
However, Xinyue has a dignified identity after all, and the old and young people in the general's mansion naturally dare not neglect. Although the old lady doesn't like Xinyue very much and thinks her arrival has broken the peace of the family, Nu Dahai's wife However, Yanji is very enthusiastic about Xinyue, expressing sympathy for what happened to her both inside and outside the words.
Because Yanji's daughter Luo Lin and Xinyue are about the same age, they quickly become good friends. As time goes by, Xinyue and Luo Lin's older brother Jiyuan gradually become acquainted.
On the surface, the arrival of Xinyue didn't seem to have brought much change to the General's Mansion, and Xinyue got along with everyone in the mansion in harmony.
Xinyue's younger brother Keshan was arranged to live in the elder brother's house in the palace, and the queen also specially selected a few clever little eunuchs to serve him, so Keshan quickly became familiar with the life in the palace. In the upper study room, I gradually got to know a few older brothers, and of course the one who has the best relationship with him is Yong Rong, who has a generous personality.
And the queen mother who treats Keshan the best in this palace, whenever she has free time, the queen mother will call Keshan to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to drink tea and chat. The reason, besides his own intelligence and sensibility, is naturally his identity That's it.
Because the Queen Mother loves children just like those ordinary old people, and the identities of the elder brothers are too sensitive, she feels that it is not a good thing to get too close to anyone; before, only Qing'er was by her side, Later, there were more Hejia and Lanxin, and this time Keshan was added. Anyway, the old man still likes to be lively.
However, although Keshan lived well in the palace, as his own sister, Xinyue never visited him once. On the contrary, Yanji visited him twice by taking the opportunity of begging to see the queen, and even Talking to him about Xinyue's recent situation, it gave people the impression that Yan Ji was Keshan's relative.
Although the queen felt a little confused when she heard about it, she didn't ask any more questions. After all, it was a family matter. As a queen, she couldn't control it that much. As long as nothing major happened, she would just turn a blind eye and close it. Only eyes.
Although Long Yintian had heard about Keshan's affairs, he didn't care about them at all. In his opinion, he didn't need to worry about these matters at all. With the queen around, he could naturally handle them well.
Originally, he could take this opportunity to relax for a while, but the passing of Prince Zhuang made him busy again.
Although Hong Zhou was planning and arranging the follow-up incident on the surface, Long Yintian also helped secretly. Otherwise, considering Hong Zhou's ability and power, it would be very difficult to completely cut off Prince Zhuang's followers.
Fortunately, Hong Zhou is also a very smart person, knowing when to act and when to play dumb, so the whole thing went relatively smoothly.
Although he has been busy for more than half a year, it is inevitable that some of them slipped through the net. Long Yintian simply handed over the full authority to Hong Zhou. After all, he is quite at ease with his younger brother.
Just after lunch, Long Yintian planned to go to the Palace of Compassion and Peace to greet the Empress Dowager in the afternoon. After all, he has been busy for several months, and the greetings are not as frequent as before. Too much is not easy to deal with, the old man, sometimes the most stubborn.
However, before Long Yintian left the gate of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, a young eunuch rushed to report that he had visited the Queen Mother with Princess Jing this morning, and that he was having tea and chatting with the Queen in Kunning Palace.
'Why did He Jing come to the palace this year? '
Although Long Yintian was puzzled, he changed his mind just now after hearing that the Empress Dowager had chatted with Princess He Jing all morning, instead of going to the Palace of Compassion and Peace to disturb the Empress Dowager's rest, she turned and walked in the direction of Kunning Palace .
In the Kunning Palace, He Jing had a rare chat with the queen for a long time. Before that, she had always held a grudge against the queen. After all, the queen was her mother-in-law, and although she treated her pretty well afterwards, there was still a gap in her heart Yes, so she avoided meeting the queen for a long time, even if it was unavoidable, it was just a few polite words on the surface.
But this time entering the palace changed He Jing's view of the queen, because the queen is not as self-confident and above others as she thought, on the contrary, she is more approachable than before. It also feels a lot lighter.
Moreover, He Jing didn't feel any difference between the queen's treatment of her and the previous queen's life, and sometimes she inadvertently recalled the scenes when she was a child, which made her agree with this successor even more, and even She felt that it was far better for Concubine Xian to be the queen than other concubines.
When Long Yintian walked into Kunning Palace, he happened to see the warm scene of He Jing, the Empress, and Lan Xin getting along well, especially Lan Xin who was tired of being around He Jing, who seemed to like this dignified sister very much.
Unexpectedly, the emperor would arrive suddenly, the queen hurriedly stood up to respond in surprise, and Lan Xin happily followed, only He Jing seemed to be worried about something, and deliberately walked in the back while hesitating.
Although the queen was very happy in her heart, she still somewhat complained about the sudden attack of the emperor, so she unconsciously said the words: "Why didn't the emperor inform you when he was coming to Kunning Palace, so that the concubine could prepare for it?" , it will be bad if you neglect the emperor."
Long Yintian has long been used to the queen's straightforward temperament, so he didn't think too much about her words, but only half-jokingly said: "Okay, I will definitely send someone to inform you in advance next time."
"Hey? How can I do it!" Lan Xin reacted quickly, and immediately heard the inappropriateness of the queen's words, so she quickly made up for it with a smile: "If Huang Ama wants to come, she can come anytime, but my son I look forward to Huang Ama coming every day~"
Long Yintian didn't respond to Lan Xin's words, but just raised his hand and touched her head, then walked to the main seat and sat down.
Only then did the queen realize her slip of the tongue, so she hurriedly called for Nanny Rong to bring some refreshments, and at the same time diverted everyone's attention.
And Lan Xin happily snuggled up beside the queen. The queen is her mother-in-law, and there was nothing disrespectful about her doing so, on the contrary, it showed the warmth of family affection.
Facing such a scene, He Jing felt a little embarrassed, so he just watched quietly, and secretly observed Lan Xin, a smart little sister.
After chatting casually for a while, Long Yintian saw that He Jing seemed to have something to say all the time, but for some reason he refused to speak, so he simply made the words clear and asked: "He Jing, you suddenly entered the palace today. Is there something wrong?"
He Jing felt that the timing was not right, because she did not expect that the emperor would come to Kunning Palace at this time, and she still wanted to talk to the emperor alone, so she hesitated a little, but she still did not say the purpose of this trip: " It's not a big deal, it's just that I haven't seen Huang Ama for a long time, and I'm worried about it, so I went into the palace to have a look."
Long Yintian heard that what He Jing said was just a scene, so he didn't ask any more questions, and after chatting for a while, he got up and left, and when he left, he specially called He Jing, he also wanted to have a chance to have a good time with He Jing have a chat.
Walking on the small path in the imperial garden, He Jing rarely spoke about his own affairs: "Actually...the minister came to the palace this time because he really wanted to ask the emperor for permission."
Long Yintian didn't ask any more questions, he just thought about it for a while, and suddenly understood, so he said in a positive tone: "The death day of Xiaoxian should be coming soon."
He Jing was a little surprised, and the look in Long Yintian's eyes became much more complicated. She always thought that the emperor had forgotten the anniversary of her mother's death, otherwise why hadn't the emperor paid homage to her forehead for so many years? mother?
"Yes, after so many years, I want to go to the imperial mausoleum to pay homage to my mother, so I hope Huang Ama can grant her permission."
"It's rare for you to be filial, so how can I not allow it." Long Yintian didn't pay much attention to the anniversary of Empress Xiaoxian's death. She is also the biological daughter of Empress Xiaoxian, so it is human nature to miss her so much.
However, in order to prevent He Jing from being too indulging in sadness, he immediately added another sentence: "I saw you and Lan Xin seem to have a good chat today, why don't you let her go with you, or take the opportunity to let her Relax. Her parents died young at a young age, so it is not so easy to let go of such a change."
"These ministers have heard about it before. After talking today, the ministers also found that they are very close to Lan Xin. It is rare to have a caring sister. Huang Ama can rest assured." Although He Jing could not see Knowing the emperor's true intentions, she still has a good impression of Lan Xin, and she has also heard about Lan Xin's experience before entering the palace, so the emperor's arrangement did not arouse her disgust.
Long Yintian nodded, and stopped bringing up those old events, and instead chatted with He Jing
