Behind the mountain, the spring scenery is beautiful. Appreciating at night is even more pleasing to the eye.
Li Hai had Zi Yan in his arms, surrounded by more than twenty concubines, drinking and having fun, feeling very happy. I just feel that spring is too short, and I wish it could be spring all year round.
Li Hai kissed Ziyan heavily with his thin lips full of alcohol: "Baby, look at this beautiful spring, if you don't drink until tomorrow, you are not allowed to leave."
Zi Yan covered her sharp white teeth, and giggled: "Your Majesty, you are so healthy that you can drink until tomorrow. If I stay with you until tomorrow, I am afraid you will have dark circles! With dark circles, the Emperor will not look down on us anymore." .”
Li Hai squeezed Ziyan's buttocks, and smiled: "I like you, I like you to the bone! As long as your bones are there, I will like you. What does it have to do with the dark circles?"
Zi Yan grinned again: "I don't know if the emperor drank a few cups of sweet wine just now, so his mouth is so sweet. Anyway, since the emperor has such elegance, Zi Yan will accompany the emperor! It's just that we are drinking and eating here. , playing and admiring, some people over there will be jealous and unhappy."
Li Hai hugged Ziyan tightly: "This imperial palace belongs to me, and the Great Jing Kingdom belongs to me. Who would be dissatisfied with me or angry with me?"
Zi Yan stretched out her slender red crisp hand, pointing to the palace: "Isn't there a hag living there?"
Li Hai immediately understood that Zi Yan was referring to Rong Chang'an. First, he shivered from his thighs to his body, his face was tense, and then he grinned after falling behind.
"She just knows that I am here to eat, drink and have fun, so what? Can she rebel? If she dares to rebel, I will put her in the cold palace."
Zi Yan curled her lips, and looked at Li Hai in disbelief: "The emperor drank too much, and said some things that didn't make sense! At the beginning, you promised me: after tomorrow, you will let the concubine be the queen! But later , didn’t it just make me happy for nothing! I don’t believe the emperor’s words anymore.”
Li Hai laughed at himself, cupped Ziyan's handsome face, and kissed him mouth to mouth.
"Zi Yan, last time it was my words that didn't count, I should be punished!"
Without hesitation, he picked up the wine glass and poured it into his mouth.
Ziyan fell into Li Hai's arms affectionately, her fragrant body made Li Hai uncomfortable without a single pore.
"Okay, okay, let's forget about what happened last time, but for what happened this time, the emperor has to compensate me no matter what." Zi Yan's coquettish voice and coquettish posture made Li Hai want to stop.
"Last time? What happened last time?" Li Hai pretended not to know.
Zi Yan snorted coldly: "I don't know if the emperor is a noble person who forgets things too much, or if he deliberately said he didn't know! You put me in the cold palace this time, and let me suffer all kinds of torture and humiliation in the cold palace. I don't know how much I have suffered! "As he said, he took out a handkerchief to wipe his tears, and wept.
Li Hai also slowly came to his senses, thinking that it was impossible for Ziyan to do such a thing of betraying him! Even if it was true betrayal, how could it be so bold to have a tryst with a man in this back mountain? It is expected that Ziyan fell into Rong Chang'an's scheme, that's why it happened.
"I won't talk about what happened last time, let's just talk about happy things today, okay?"
Ziyan shook Li Hai's arm coquettishly: "Don't! I suffered so much in the cold palace, and now the emperor dare not take me out of Tonggong. Tonggong is so deserted and boring, I'm about to die of suffocation …”
Turning his eyes, he begged again, "Your Majesty, why don't you build me a separate garden outside the palace and let me live there! You also know that if I stay in the palace with Rong Chang'an, I won't see you if I look down." If you look up, there will always be friction. It's better not to be out of sight, out of mind, the emperor will build another palace for me, so you won't have to worry about me and Rong Chang'an."
Li Hai waved his hand, as if what Zi Yan said was just a piece of cake.
"What do I think you want! It's just a palace! Why not? Tomorrow I will ask the minister of the Ministry of Industry to send someone to build it for you. Baby, where do you like to live?"
Zi Yan suddenly straightened up from Li Hai's arms, overjoyed, two bright lights seemed to be burning in her eyes: "Your Majesty, are you really willing to agree? There are many cherry and plum flowers in the abandoned garden, and they are in full bloom now. Red, white, purple, pink, I... If I live there, I will be very happy.
In the future, the emperor can often go there to escape the summer heat. Although the palace is luxurious, it is bare and there are not many trees. "
Li Hai smiled and showed his two shiny fangs: "If you don't believe me, I will send someone to call the minister of the Ministry of Industry and ask him to bring the map, tell him the location, and he will start work tomorrow, how about it? "
"Just right! Just right!" Zi Yan clapped her hands, as happy as a happy little magpie. "Your Majesty, go and call the servant of the Ministry of Industry! Quick! Quick! Quick!"
So Li Hai asked Eunuch Liu, who was beside him, to arrange for the eunuch to call the minister of the Ministry of Industry.
Half an hour later, the minister of the Ministry of Industry came over to salute Zi Yan and Li Hai.
"Long live the emperor, long live, long live!"
In the midst of feasting and feasting, Li Hai uttered a high-ranking jade voice: "Now take out the map of the imperial city and show it to Concubine Ziyan, where is the suitable place to build a palace. The concubine has taken a fancy to it, and you will arrange to clear the people there tomorrow, and then start."
"Follow the order!"
The servant asked his assistant to present the map of the imperial city and put it on the case.
"Concubine, come and take a look, you can order whichever place you like." Li Hai said dotingly to Zi Yan.
With a smile on his face, Zi Yan looked at the map of the imperial city, pointed to a place and said: "Minister, I chose this place to build the Li Palace!"
The minister of the Ministry of Industry opened his dizzy old eyes, and looked at the place Zi Yan was pointing at, which was the abandoned garden. The servant's face was a little embarrassed and tense.
"Your concubine, this is an abandoned garden. It stands to reason... it cannot be built to leave the palace."
Zi Yan's eyes suddenly sank: "Why can't the abandoned garden be built to leave the palace?"
The servant of the Ministry of Industry replied respectfully: "The abandoned garden has always been a place for ladies to play, and literati often reminisce about ancient times and write poems there. If the Li Palace is built, people will be dissatisfied with the court."
Ziyan pursed her lips, like a hilltop: "It's none of my business for them to compose poems and odes there! The shore of the land, is it the land of the king? The abandoned garden is the emperor's land. Who dares to build a house there?" Say no!"
The servant of the Ministry of Industry wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Your concubine, you can't say that. The whole world belongs to the emperor. It's true, but the emperor is a herdsman on behalf of the sky. The emperor can't ignore the people of the world! Moreover, The Abandoned Garden is the garden of a certain prince who died unjustly, and people respect and love this prince very much. If this land is expropriated, people will definitely talk about the court.”
"Besides, there are thousands of households around the abandoned garden. If you want to build a palace in the abandoned garden, you must take these people away. When you decided to build a temple for the empress dowager last time, it made people panic. If the garden is the Li Palace, I'm afraid it will lose the hearts of the people. Therefore, as a minister, can the noble concubine choose another place to build the Li Palace?"
Don't say that choosing to abandon the garden will cause public anger, even building the palace will cost manpower and material resources. As the minister of the Ministry of Industry, he understands that the imperial court is nervous about the treasury at this time. The last disaster relief in the Northwest cost a lot. The money in the treasury now is to prevent a sudden war. If the Li Palace is built, this money will definitely be used. If it is used, what should I do if it will be used for war in the future? It made the servant look very sad.
Zi Yan was very dissatisfied after hearing what the servant said, and threw herself into Li Hai's arms, angrily said: "Your Majesty, as the parents of the common people, is it so difficult for you to even build a house on your own land? If so, you It doesn’t matter if you don’t become the emperor! I’m so mad!”
Li Hai then asked the servant: "Sure enough, as you said just now, if the abandoned garden is designated as the Li Palace, will the common people have objections?"
The minister's words were full of deep worry: "How can a humble minister exaggerate!"
Li Hai pondered over it, then smiled and persuaded Zi Yan: "Why don't you choose another place? The Dajing Kingdom has a vast land, isn't it satisfying to you?"
