If possible, Yu Xiujin would take a nap for half an hour every day after lunch, but today Yu Yanli had something to discuss with him...so he couldn't sleep again today.

Yu Xiujin braced himself and sat at the table to play chess with Yu Yanli.Although Yu Yanli was gentle and gentle with others, but he played chess with fierce moves, which made Yu Xiujin unable to backhand at all.

Yu Yanli smiled and said: "I have always liked playing chess with the emperor the most."

"..." Yu Xiujin looked at the shivering Baizi who was huddled in the corner, and smiled helplessly: "Uncle Huang just likes to see me being beaten to pieces."

Yu Yanli couldn't help but bend his eyes, he paused again after thinking, and said, "Speaking of which, Dongwo...how does the emperor plan to deal with it?"

Yu Xiujin gets a headache when he mentions Dongwo. Dongwo is obviously exhausted but still provokes the border soldiers repeatedly. He is like a child who doesn't get attention.Yu Xiujin asked back: "Uncle Huang thinks how to deal with it."

Yu Yan said politely: "In my opinion, it's better to take back the land of Dazhou directly."

Yu Xiujin is not surprised by this; since the Eastern Japanese Dynasty, he has been constantly provoking Da Zhou, and it belongs to the type that can open a dyeing workshop by giving some color. Just mentioning it makes people feel irritated, so most people in the court think Consistent with Yu Yanli's opinion - it's better to get rid of it quickly.

But Yu Xiujin shook his head and said: "People have no benevolence and righteousness, so they cannot stand in the world, and the country is the same. Da Zhou has not suffered from turmoil, so why bother to invade other people's land and destroy people..." He paused: "Actually, I have already invited the Eastern Japanese envoys to come to the capital. Instead of destroying the country, I hope to make friends with them and increase the trade between the two countries."

Yu Yanli played with a sunspot between his fingers, thought for a long time, raised his eyebrows and smiled at Yu Xiujin: "Your Majesty, you are really a kind and wise king."

He said: "Since the emperor has made a decision, the minister will naturally support it... As for the matter of persuading those veteran ministers, the emperor can leave it to the minister with peace of mind."

Yu Yanli thanked him sincerely: "Uncle Huang has worked hard."

Yu Yanli smiled, and the chess piece between his fingers landed on the chessboard with a "slap", and took another Yu Xiujin piece away in an instant.Yu Xiujin looked bitterly at his dwindling number of chess pieces, but heard soft voices coming from the door.He hastily put down the chess piece in his hand: "Chang Shunhai is back?"

Chang Shunhai, who was as white and festive as a doll in New Year's pictures, leaned in and said, "Your Majesty, the slave is back."

Yu Yanli asked curiously, "What did Eunuch Chang do?"

Chang Shunhai said: "Go back to the Third Prince, the slave went to Huang Zhaoyi's place for a walk."

"Huang Zhaoyi?" Yu Yanli asked, "But she caused trouble again?"

"It's not..."

Chang Shunhai glanced at Yu Xiujin who was cleaning the chessboard with a straight face, saw that he had nothing to say, and said, "It's the slave who heard that Huang Zhaoyi had lost his temper, so he went to inquire. It turned out that it was Mr. Li who went to pay his respects today. Had some quarrels with Huang Zhaoyi, Huang Zhaoyi was very angry."

Yu Yanli couldn't help but shook his head: "My niece has a temper since she was a child, and she caused the emperor a lot of trouble."

In fact, Huang Zhaoyi is the daughter of Yu Yanli's elder sister who married into the Li family, and the daughter of her husband's younger sister. She has nothing to do with Yu Yanli, but Yu Yanli is close to her sister, and the Huang family is also close to the Li family. The family members also recognized Quan Quan and made half of their relatives; Huang Zhaoyi was watched and brought up by Yu Yanli since childhood, and was even introduced to the palace by Yu Yanli.

In front of Huang Zhaoyi's elusive little uncle, Yu Xiujin could only say, "I'll go to Li Sijiu to talk about him later, so that he can pay more attention in the future."

Yu Yanli was as good as good, paused, and curled the corner of his mouth again: "I suddenly remembered an interesting thing, but I don't know whether I should tell the emperor or not."

"what?"

"Does your majesty remember Mr. Nian from the Ministry of Rites? The one with the two mustaches?"

Yu Xiujin nodded.This young man is not outstanding in all aspects, except for the two long beards on his upper lip, and his surname, so others call him "Catfish" in private.

Yu Yanli smiled and said: "Master Nian recently married a beautiful concubine with a lot of money, and he loves it so much that he wants to hold it in his hands; but when Mr. Nian always goes out, he is afraid that someone will covet that beautiful concubine, so he recruits guards, Guard at the door of that beautiful concubine."

Yu Yanli paused: "...Who knows, that beautiful concubine actually fell in love with that guard."

Yu Xiujin is not stupid, so he naturally understands that Yu Yanli is reminding himself not to let Li Sijiu interact with other concubines in the harem, but Yu Yanli doesn't understand, Li Sijiu has a deep-rooted affection for him, and he doesn't doubt that Li Sijiu Will empathize with others, as for the other concubines...

Yu Xiujin withdrew his thoughts and said, "What the emperor said is indeed an interesting thing."

That night, when it was almost time, Yu Xiujin tiredly raised his head from a pile of memorials, and walked around the brocade palace familiarly.

Li Sijiu waited at the door, greeted him crookedly, and reached out to touch Yu Xiujin's cuff; Yu Xiujin was slightly puzzled, but seeing Li Sijiu retracted his hand, he said with emotion: "It's really true. Autumn is here, and the emperor's clothes are chilly to the touch, and when there are two more autumn rains, the weather will really cool down."

Yu Xiujin nodded as a response.Although he didn't show any expression on his face, he wanted to laugh in his heart - Li Sijiu was obviously a person with a treacherous mind, but sometimes he liked to gossip like ordinary people, full of fireworks.

Yu Xiujin didn't make any detours, and asked directly: "I heard that you went to pay your respects today?"

coming!Li Sijiu's heart trembled, he knew that Yu Xiujin was going to ask him for a crime.

Speaking of which, this was also Li Sijiu's first palace fight, he was still a little apprehensive, fearing that Yu Xiujin would punish him, he immediately aroused the emotions he had been brewing all afternoon, lowered his head, and used the legend full of sadness Facing him at a 45-degree angle, he lowered his voice and made a special white lotus look: "Yes, I went to pay my respects today, but I suffered a lot of grievances..."

……what?

... You lied to me, you took me for a fool, didn't you? !Obviously you bullied others!

Yu Xiujin looked at Li Sijiu in disbelief, but met Li Sijiu's hidden sad expression.Yu Xiujin knew that he must be pretending to show it to him, and wanted to warn him severely not to make other concubines angry, but then thought that Li Sijiu's acting must be because he was too afraid of losing himself, so he opened his mouth and tried again. Before the words came out, it became a sentence: "Ah Jiu was wronged..."

Seeing that Yu Xiujin was not angry, Li Sijiu felt relieved, but the sadness on his face remained undiminished: "I am not wronged, once I see the emperor, I will feel much more comfortable."

Yu Xiujin felt that he was really stunned. Of course he knew that Li Sijiu was putting on an act, but he felt a little moved in his heart——Li Sijiu, whom everyone feared like a tiger, played tricks for him, but only to get his Doting... Yu Xiujin said: "Chang Shunhai, go get that hairpin from Zhen's study."

Chang Shunhai was taken aback, and looked at Yu Xiujin questioningly, Yu Xiujin closed his eyes slightly, and said before he regretted it: "Go quickly."

[Favorite value +5! 】

The hairpin Yu Xiujin was talking about was a red jade hairpin. It felt warm to the touch, and its whole body was red to purple. The top of the hairpin was carved with a small flower and a few vines. It was simple but not simple.

When Li Sijiu appeared in Changfu Palace wearing this hairpin again, the Changfu Palace fell into silence.

They came in early, so they naturally knew the origin of this hairpin.

Ruby is rare and almost priceless. After Yu Xiujin got this priceless red jade hairpin a few years ago, all the concubines were wondering who this hairpin would be given to, Concubine Ying or Xue Zhaoyi?But in the end, even the queen mother couldn't get it, who knew that it was so easily given to Li Sijiu.

Seeing that everyone's gazes were circling the top of his head, Li Sijiu touched the top of his head: "This is the gift from the emperor yesterday when he heard that the minister was sad. Does it look good?"

... Are you wronged?When did you feel wronged?

The concubine in the house suddenly felt a heart attack.

After waking up today, Yu Xiujin felt flustered all the time. He didn't know what was wrong until Chang Shunhai told him that the queen mother wanted to see him. It had been a long time since the queen mother came to him to be scolded, no wonder he felt so uncomfortable .

When it was time for the Compassionate Ning Palace, Yu Xiujin saw that Concubine Ying was also there, standing straight beside the Queen Mother;

When outsiders were around, the Empress Dowager was very scruples about her image, and smiled gently at Yu Xiujin: "The emperor is here, and the Ai family asked the imperial dining room to make the emperor's favorite sweet-scented osmanthus cake, try it quickly."

Yu Xiujin sat upright opposite the empress dowager, holding a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, but felt that he couldn't eat it.

The queen mother asked: "The emperor and Concubine Ying have not seen each other for a while, have they?"

Concubine Ying politely bowed to Yu Xiujin first, then to the queen mother, and then said with a straight face: "Go back to the queen mother, the emperor and I have not seen each other for a while, as of today, it is already No. 14 days."

"It turns out that Li Sijiu has been in the palace for half a month." The queen mother smiled softly again: "The Ai family really wants to see Li Sijiu's appearance, I heard that he is very handsome, and the red jade hairpin on his head is very elegant."

Yu Xiujin: ...

... He knew right away that Li Sijiu must have caused him trouble again.

Yu Xiujin finally understood that the queen mother went around talking about her husband, and it turned out that it was Li Sijiu who brought the hairpin to pay her respects today, so as to show off and make the other concubines feel sad.

In the Queen Mother's gentle eyes that implied a knife, Yu Xiujin said: "I will go to the Jintu Palace today, and I will definitely persuade him."

The queen mother was satisfied with this.

On the way to Jintu Palace, Yu Xiujin kept thinking about how to restrain Li Sijiu's behavior while not angering him.

But when Yu Xiujin saw Li Sijiu's artificially sad appearance, he was stunned again.

He stroked Li Sijiu's back, and said with difficulty: "Then...then I will ask Chang Shunhai to bring you some high-quality Suzhou embroidery tomorrow."
