Qing Ai took the gift box, turned around and respectfully held it up in front of Cheng Qi.

The word "Frost Blade" is engraved on the body of the sword with the method of staggering gold, and there is no other decoration.

What is the meaning of sending the sword?

Ji's expression changed slightly.

The relationship between the little emperor and Xie's father and son became closer, but he alienated Li Yan who supported him at the beginning. Although Li Yan was not in Beijing, Li Chengqi did not write even a single letter to Li Yan in the past few months. .

After ten years of sharpening a sword, the Frost Blade has never been tried. Is the regent showing his loyalty to the new emperor, or...a warning?

Li Chengqi lightly slid across the sword with two fingers.

The blade was cold, making his fingers ache.

With a buckle of the finger bones, the sound was as clear as spring water, Li Chengqi sighed: "Good sword."

Other than that, there was nothing else to say.

Li Chengqi glanced at the old eunuch staring at him intently from the corner of his eye, as if waiting for him to thank him and return to Li Yan's words.

There was a moment of silence in Changle Palace.

The visitor waited anxiously, even a little impatiently.

He knew that the little emperor was not smart, but he didn't expect to be so smart. He cleared his throat and was about to remind the little emperor.

"boom."

The sudden knocking sound of the box startled all the thoughtful people in the hall.

Li Chengqi put her hand on the box cover, smiled and sighed: "It's a pity."

The little emperor's birth was not very similar to that of the late emperor, his eyelashes pressed against his eyes, which were full of vigor, dark and dark, almost giving off a cold light.

Those words that she wanted to say proudly and arrogantly disappeared as Li Chengqi knocked the box on.

"Put it away properly, this is the regent's wish." He said to Qing Ai.

Qing Ai said shortly: "Yes."

After reading the gift, Li Chengqi seemed to feel very unimpressed, and waved her hands to make everyone back away.

Li Yan gave him the sword, but he took it. Li Chengqi felt that there was no problem, ignored the expressions of everyone who hesitated to speak, and took a plate of pine nuts to play with the birds.

The atmosphere in the hall became more and more embarrassing, this man's complexion turned from red to white and then to blue. Ever since Li Yan became the regent, he has never been so indifferently ignored.

What's more, this person in front of him is only an emperor. It is not known whether he can live to be in charge of the government!

The little palace man greeted him, "Please."

The attendants outside were originally happily waiting for their lord to be sent out with the utmost respect. They didn't want to think that there were only people from the second and third palaces, and the leader with a pale face was their lord?

The attendants hurried up to meet him, seeing that his expression was not right, and he couldn't say what he had prepared, so he had to apologize with a smile: "Is the godfather going out of the palace?"

The old eunuch slapped him.

Those who have been pampered for a long time don't have much strength in their palms, and those who are beaten are already used to it. They nodded and bowed their heads and said, "My son is rough and thick, and my godfather hurts carefully." He said, slapping his face with both hands left and right. There was a slapping sound, and the face immediately became red and swollen, and he slapped and scolded: "You bastard with a rotten tongue, where are you going, and when will it be your turn to talk too much."

Several people walked out of Changle Palace quickly.

The two young maids had never seen such a battle, and they still stood on tiptoe in the courtyard to watch.

A slightly higher-ranking female officer stood behind the two children with a blank expression.

Without realizing it, the two of them mischievously pointed at the distant figure and said with a smile: "Except on the stage, this is the first time I've seen a green-faced person."

"What green-faced man?" asked the female officer.

The little palace maid covered her lips and said, "I just gave it to His Majesty..." She suddenly realized that the voice was not from someone around her, she stopped her mouth, turned her head stiffly and slowly, and looked embarrassed when she found out who it was, "Sister."

With one hand on each side, the female officer tapped their foreheads with ten fingers, "Are you standing here waiting to be punished? What should you do?"

The two children hurriedly saluted and left. The little girl who had just spoken saw the female officer standing there solemnly, and couldn't help but ask, "Sister?"

The female officer glanced at her, and she immediately lowered her head, not daring to speak.

The one who had been speechless tugged at her sleeve and dragged the person away, "My sister also wants to see people with green faces." She explained in a low voice.

The little girl let out an epiphany.

Female officer: "..."

What and what!

In Changle Palace, Li Chengqi has picked up half a plate of pine nuts.

Xuanfeng was so angry that his feathers exploded, and his black eyes stared angrily at him.

After teasing for a long time, Li Chengqi finally fed one of the pine nuts. While Xuanfeng was eating the pine nuts, he stroked two handfuls and sighed, "How lucky you are."

Yougu will chop pine nuts for you.

How many important officials in the court have never eaten it.

Ji looked at him for a long time, the young man leaned against the table very unruly, playing with the birds carelessly.

Li Yin is very similar to Li Zhao, but not quite like him.

What resembles is the appearance of the two of the same origin, but what is not like is the demeanor and even temperament of the whole body.

But when he smiled and said it was a pity, he really, really looked like the late emperor.

Ji Shi walked to Cheng Qi's side, bowed his knees and saluted, "Your Majesty."

Li Chengqi threw the plate away, and reached out to help her up, "Master Ji, you don't need to be polite." His smile was very sincere when he looked at Mrs. Ji, "What's the matter, sir?"

When Ji stood up, her eyes fell on the pine nut plate that Cheng Qi picked up again.

Li Chengqi sighed in her heart.

Even though there was a distance between the two of them, the Ji family could not say everything to him in the past, but at least he would not be so hesitant, it's just that he is no longer Li Zhao.

"My lord wants to talk to Gu about the Prince Regent's gift?" Li Chengqi asked with a smile, "Your lord also thinks that I'm not being polite enough to the people who brought things here?"

Ji shook her head, "Your Majesty, you are the king, and the regent is your subject. As for the person who comes to deliver things, he is just an insignificant servant. A king treats the soldiers of the country with courtesy." She changed the subject, "But this person After all, he is a person close to the Prince Regent, His Majesty is indifferent today, and outsiders may think that he wants to draw a line with the Prince."

Li Chengqi knew what the Ji family meant, it was not wise to only get close to Xie Mingyue or Li Yan, the little emperor had no deep relationship with any of them.

If the little emperor offends one of them, the one who is close to the little emperor will just watch with cold eyes.

He has no power or power, but he ascended the throne by virtue of his resemblance to the late emperor. He can't choose, and he has no choice. If he gets close to one, he will cause trouble to the other.

Cheng Qi rubbed her nose and smiled helplessly. She didn't know if she was more pitiful now or in the past. He didn't show it on his face, but he was a little moved in his heart.

The situation is not clear, the Ji family can stand on the sidelines, she is the former emperor, no one will make things difficult for her, even if there is another emperor in the future, she will either continue to be a female official in the palace, or go out to the palace to be raised, she is willing to speak out at this moment Reminder, has been extremely good.

Li Chengqi didn't answer anything else, just smiled and said: "Thank you, my lord."

Ji's bowed his head, "I dare not thank Your Majesty for being loyal to the emperor."

Cheng Qi held the pine nuts between her fingers, Xuanfeng stared at his fingers with black eyes without blinking, not wanting him to throw them upwards.

Xuanfeng fluttered its wings to meet it, it was raised in the palace with a lot of beauty, and it flew very rarely, so when it flapped its wings, it was not flexible, but it looked clumsy and funny.

The little emperor pursed his lips and smiled, "My lord, tonight I told the public that I was too tired from studying alone, and I was tired of Mr. Xie's homework. I really couldn't spare time to do other things. I will never see anyone who comes alone."

Ji's heart is clear, the people sent by Li Yan have received a cold reception from the little emperor, and they will definitely not let it go.

What's more, what the lord sent is extraordinary, and it won't take long for Li Yan to send the little emperor's sword to the ears of the Jing brothers and sisters. With the personalities of these two people, I don't know what they will do, "Mr. clear."

After Li Chengqi finished teasing the bird, she closed her hands contentedly, seeing the Benji of the ancestors on the table, she immediately thought of Xie Mingyue.

He thought for a while, then looked at the bright sunshine outside the window, and holding his pen helplessly, said: "Research ink."

Qing Ai studied ink quietly beside him, trying not to make a sound so as not to disturb Li Chengqi.

Li Chengqi glanced distractedly, the inkstone in Changle Palace is still Longwei inkstone, but it has been replaced with a new one.

While Li Chengqi was copying his own biography boredly, he wondered where the one he used earlier had gone.

Qing Ai lowered her head to grind, not daring to look directly at the king.

A few strands of Li Chengqi's hanging long hair were casually draped over his chest, swaying with his movements.

Xuanfeng stopped on the paper and gave Li Chengqi a soft chirp.

Li Chengqi tapped Xuanfeng's hairy little head with the pen holder.

Xuanfeng wanted to peck his finger, but Li Chengqi quickly took it away, and knocked harder, Xuanfeng was so angry that his wings exploded.

Qing Ai raised her eyes carefully, and looked at the little emperor without any trace.

The young man supported his face with one hand, and teased the birds with a brush in the other, so he was very leisurely.

His eyes were extremely beautiful, almost to the point of sharpness. When he glanced at them, those thick and colorful eyes made people tremble involuntarily.

Qing Ai was startled, and lowered her head in panic.

Li Chengqi turned her head, dropped the pen, picked up the Shizu Benji and started to read it at a glance.

He didn't care about copying, and didn't pay attention to what he copied before. After a cursory look, he found that there were many praises for him in it, and he was simply portrayed as the number one sage in ancient and modern times.

Li Chengqi doesn't take it seriously. In his opinion, part of these exaggerated words is because he was really good at what he did when he was alive, and part of the reason is that his father and his grandfather were absurd and cowardly when they were in power. Cannot resist the insult of other countries.

It can be seen that the generations of his Li family are not very suitable to be emperors. Li Yanyin said that Li Chengqi is like Cui Min and Cui Taoxi, except that he is not like himself.

Some palace people brought refreshments.

Li Chengqi scooped up a spoonful of almond soup with a silver spoon and put it into his mouth. The almond milk was rich in aroma, soft and smooth in the mouth, but not too sweet. He squinted his eyes contentedly.

Just because he doesn't care about Li Yan doesn't mean that everyone doesn't care about Li Yan;

For example, today's empress dowager and the uncle of the country care very much.

Jing Eryang saw the old eunuch off with a grateful expression, and returned to the palace to meet the queen mother, with a very dignified expression.

The empress dowager was terrified when she heard the eunuch's embellished threats and the report from the palace man she had placed in Changle Palace. Jing Eryang walked in with such an expression, which made her turn pale with fright.

"Your Majesty..." He sighed a long time.

Jing Jiayu didn't care about face, interrupted: "What did you say?"

Jing Eryang hurriedly comforted: "Your Majesty, don't worry, there is nothing important, even if it was there in the past, it is gone now, please rest assured, Your Majesty."

Jing Jiayu couldn't hear the meaning behind what her own brother said, so she was relieved, then remembered the old eunuch's arrogant look, felt angry, and complained: "Although the prince has good intentions, it is true that he sent the sword for no reason. Scarier."

"Your Majesty, be careful," Jing Eryang said solemnly, he looked around in a serious manner, and suddenly lowered his voice, "Did you hear some people say that Xie Hou is a high-ranking and powerful person, and His Majesty's dealings with Xie Hou's son Is it a great thing?"

Jing Jiayu was at a loss for words for a while, Jing Eryang looked at her with burning eyes, so she had no choice but to hum and reply.

When Jing Jiayu first arrived in Beijing, he was unfamiliar with the place, and he was the only elder brother he could rely on.

Now that she has been the Empress Dowager for several months, even the little emperor has no power, and her status is beyond words. Countless people rush to the Empress Dowager's side, and her staff are like crucian carp crossing the river.

Even if they are brothers, it doesn't seem so important.

He invited the little emperor several times, but was blocked by Ji's excuses, secretly hated but helpless, if he was not close to his nephew, he could only hold on to his sister tightly.

What's more, the old eunuch said that the prince intends to grant him a real title, if His Majesty is satisfied, maybe he can learn from the previous dynasties and make him a powerful general.

"Forgive me for speaking bluntly, your empress is so stupid." Jing Eryang said that bluntly, seeing Jing Jiayu's face darken as expected, he knelt down and said earnestly: "I know that I have made a mistake, but it is also for the sake of my empress and you. His Majesty An Wei was so anxious that he couldn't care less about his words. The empress thought carefully, the late emperor loved Lord Xie Hou so much when he was here, why didn't he let Marquis Yujing be the Minister of Gu Ming before he died? Marquis Yujing's ambition is obvious, if there is no regent, say Maybe he has already planned to usurp the throne!"

Jing Jiayu was startled.

Looking at the Empress Dowager's expression, Jing Eryang knew that he said the same thing, and continued: "The prince is not the case. The prince is His Majesty's beloved younger brother, and the regent himself." He looked into Jing Jiayu's eyes, "Most most The most important thing is, no matter how the prince's status is arranged, the throne will not reach the prince's head. If God is not pitiful, Yujinghou will overwhelm the prince, you, Your Majesty, the Jing family will not be able to stay, and Yujinghou will be the first emperor. Killed the three princes at the funeral, what else can he not do?"

"If the sky has eyes, except for the prince," he made a gesture of wiping his neck, "our Majesty's throne will be safe and secure."

Jing Jiayu was originally confused, but when she heard her brother's heartfelt statement of interests, she slowly calmed down.

After thinking about it carefully, she suddenly felt that it was reasonable, but she still felt that what the adviser said to her earlier was right, and said: "It's not that you are completely close to Marquis Yujing. Wouldn't it be better to offend?"

Jing Eryang recalled what the old eunuch said just now, shook his head again and again and said: "Mother, since ancient times, where the wind blows and falls, can the grass on the wall have a good start and a good end? If we don't offend either side, don't we mean both sides offend?"

Jing Jiayu bit her lips and remained silent.

"I heard from Mr. He that the prince will be back soon. When the prince returns and sees His Majesty walking so close to Marquis Yujing, I'm afraid it will be even worse." Jing Eryang persuaded.

Countless thoughts flashed by, Jing Jiayu looked at her brother who was kneeling on the ground earnestly, finally heaved a long sigh, and said, "You're right." She stretched out her hand, and said softly, "Get up, you and Aijia Although there are differences between monarchs and ministers, they are even more close relatives, don't just kneel down while talking, the Ai family will be heartbroken, as if the royal family can't tolerate family affection."

Jing Eryang was overjoyed when he heard the words, but he didn't show too much on his face, Xu Xu got up holding Jing Jiayu's wrist, as if he was very moved, and said: "Your Majesty values ​​affection, I am grateful, but you must not forget the rules."

He sits down.

After talking for so long, his mouth was dry and he drank a cup of tea.

"In Uncle Guo's opinion, what should we do now?" Jing Jiayu asked worriedly: "The close relationship between Xie Che and Min'er is well known in the palace, and it is indeed hindering the power of Marquis Yujing, but His Majesty is willing."

"I don't think so. It's just that the Young Lord and His Majesty are about the same age. There are no young people of the same age around His Majesty, so the relationship seems close. In the future, more children from aristocratic families will enter the palace to accompany His Majesty, and the relationship between the two will gradually weaken. Yu Marquis of Jing, Marquis of Yujing," Jing Eryang frowned, listening to the old eunuch, the prince was very reluctant to Xie Mingyue to be the husband of the little emperor.

But the deal is done, he can't intervene, "If His Majesty can personally say that Marquis Yujing is not good, and you want to change the husband, the prince will definitely support it."

"Let Min'er say it?" Jing Jiayu looked at Jing Eryang suspiciously, "Wouldn't it make Yu Jinghou hate Shang Min'er by letting Min'er say it?"

Jing Eryang smiled and said: "Queen Mother, you see that you are in a hurry again. Didn't I just say that the prince will be back soon, so what if you offend Marquis Yujing.

Besides, Marquis Yujing was busy with affairs, so he himself was not so willing to teach His Majesty. If His Majesty said that he was sympathetic to Marquis Yujing's busyness and asked Marquis Yujing to concentrate on state affairs, it might be a favor. "

Jing Jiayu gradually calmed down, nodded and said, "Uncle Guo is right."

"Come here," she said, "Go and invite Your Majesty."

Busy palace people led the order to go out.

In less than half an hour, he came back again. He was alone when he went, and he was still alone when he came back, without seeing the emperor's car.

"Where's Your Majesty?" Jing Eryang asked eagerly.

"Uncle Huiguo," the head of the palace was lowered, for fear of being punished by the two of them, "Ji Da... The Ji family of Changle Palace said that the studies left by Marquis Yujing are heavy, and His Majesty still has homework to finish. His Majesty has been working hard for days , I don’t feel well, I’m afraid I’ll give your empress the sickness, and wait until His Majesty is better.”

Before she could finish speaking, a teacup had already been dropped.

The tea splashed, hot water poured on the legs, and there was a burst of white gas.

The palace man felt a burning pain in his leg, but he didn't dare to make a sound, he hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.

"Being the emperor for a few days, the wings are really harder than usual," Jing Jiayu sneered, gritted his teeth, "Even his own mother is ignored, he forgot who accompanied him all the way to the capital, mourning on the way home I have suffered so much, but I don’t know who it is for!”

There was dead silence in the hall, and the palace people knelt on the ground without daring to breathe.

"Your Majesty is the most filial to your Majesty, if you can't do such a thing, I'm afraid someone is bewitching Your Majesty, stirring up trouble between Your Majesty and Your Majesty." Jing Eryang comforted.

"He is the emperor now, how can he listen to Aijia's words?" Jing Jiayu's anger was not appeased by Jing Eryang's comfort, "Okay, okay, since Aijia's good son doesn't want to come to see Aijia, What's the harm in Aijia going to meet him in person?"

Before the words fell, the sky thunder roared, startling everyone in the hall.

In summer, the sky changes quickly. One moment the sky was clear, and the next moment it was cloudy.

The palace man hurried to close the window.

The black clouds are churning, and the purple lightning is like a dragon leaping among the clouds.

It was impossible for the little emperor to compromise easily, and now Jing Jiayu was furious, and the two could not reach an agreement.

On the contrary, the knot between the mother and son was added, Jing Eryang concealed that this matter was not in a hurry today, so he said: "Your Majesty calm down, don't get angry, it's going to rain outside, why don't you let His Majesty come over tomorrow when the sky is fine .”

Jing Jiayu's chest heaved up and down with anger, and she didn't speak.

Jing Eryang went over to pour tea for his younger sister, and comforted him with gentle words, "Madam, Rong Chen is going to find some young talents for His Majesty to choose. After I have an agreement with His Majesty, Majesty will order His Majesty to come over again?"

Jing Jiayu took the tea and sneered, as a tacit consent.

For the next few days, Jing Eryang has been running around to find a suitable husband for the little emperor.

With the lessons learned from Huo Bai and the others, this time Jing Eryang is not as careless as before, no matter who is recommended to him, he accepts everything. He intends to get close to the regent, and the person he finds is naturally the same as Li Yan and Li Yan. There is an inseparable relationship between the students and the old officials.

He found dozens of people who he was satisfied with, and then showed them to the Queen Mother. After screening, only five people remained.

So when Li Chengqi returned to Changle Palace after class the next day, she met the Queen Mother, the uncle of the country, and a bunch of people he didn't know but were so attentive that they wanted to put their faces on Jingeryang's boots.

Li Chengqi turned and left without saying a word.
