Under the night, the shadows of the green trees seem to be the most beautiful and sexy woman in the world wearing a hazy gauze.
There are delicate colored lights hanging on the tree, some like flowers, some like animals, and some like the moon and stars. Each light is not too big, but hanging on the branches, it seems to create a The beautiful and dreamy beautiful world makes people feel like they don't know what the night is.
Jin Yang remembered that Jinzhou held a grand Shangyuan Lantern Festival when he was a child. He was locked in the palace until the meeting was over, and he had no chance to see how grand it was outside.
Later, the younger brother who had been there said that the lights outside looked like flowers, puppy and bunny, and I secretly envied them in my heart. However, when he grew up and became the emperor of Dafeng, he saw all kinds of exquisite and gorgeous lamps in the palace. I don't know how many times more beautiful than the lamps in small places like Jinzhou.
But when he saw the lanterns hanging in the palace of Luanhe today, he suddenly remembered that he had told Gu Rujiu that there was something at the Jinzhou Lantern Festival, and what he told was the second part of his childhood memory. what my brother said.
The liveliness of the lantern festival, the naive animal lamps, and the snacks on both sides of the road have all become things of interest in his childhood fantasy.
It's just that he gradually grew up, and the memories of his childhood were thrown behind his head, so when he mentioned this to Jiujiu, it was just an interesting talk.
He didn't expect that Jiujiu would let people make those lanterns he imagined, and let people put Jinzhou flavored snacks imitating the folk snack stalls.
The familiar taste penetrated into his breath, as if filling something, making his heart seem to be immersed in a pot of sweet soup, so soft and warm.
Looking back at Gu Rujiu in a daze, he found that he couldn't say a word, but he believed that he would never forget this scene in this life.
The lantern under the moonlight, the lover who carefully prepared these for him, and the delicious food.
"Which family's son is this, you are here," Gu Rujiu stretched out his hand with a smile and pulled Jin Yang into the gate of Luanhe Palace, and then said, "The shop has a special bowl of longevity noodles, which is cooked by the owner himself and eaten. People in this face will live a hundred years, with good fortune, full of children and grandchildren, and a loving husband and wife. Would you like a bowl?"
Jin Yang's throat was a little sour, a little sweet, and a little choked. He stared at Gu Rujiu, reluctant to look away.
"Since the son doesn't speak, it's the default," Gu Rujiu smiled, pulled Jin Yang to the table and sat down, then rolled up his sleeves, "Please sit for a while, and you'll be fine soon."
Ten paces away, there was a pot on the shelf, firewood was burning under the pot, and the water in the pot was bubbling.
Next, put the vegetables in the pot, then sprinkle the green chopped green onion in the noodle bowl, seasoning suitable for salty and bland, wipe off the water vapor on the edge of the bowl, and Gu Rujiu put the noodle in front of Jin Yang: "Sir, please use it. "
The aroma of chopped green onion and noodles entered his nose, Jin Yang picked up his chopsticks and picked up the noodles.
This is a noodle, the noodle is very long, but the thickness is very uneven, and it is ugly and crooked. He stuffed the noodles into his mouth, reluctant to let it break, so he ate it very carefully, even with the strength of the noodles.
After eating a bowl of noodles, he ate the vegetables again, drank the whole bowl of noodles, and even picked up the chopped green onion sticking to the edge of the bowl with chopsticks.
Putting down his chopsticks, he looked at Gu Rujiu who was standing beside him smiling, and stretched out his arms to hug her waist.
Gu Rujiu looked at him distressedly, put her hand on his shoulder, and patted it gently.
He lost his mother at the age of three, his father was weak and incompetent and lustful, his stepmother was unkind, and his younger siblings were arrogant and arrogant. Jin Yang, who had such a childhood, had never said a single hardship in front of her, but she could think of how much he suffered.
Maybe no relatives made longevity noodles for him, maybe no one took him out to see the lanterns that children were interested in when he was a child, maybe no one cared about what he wanted, liked and hated.
It doesn't matter, she is willing to make longevity noodles for him by herself, she is willing to make up for his childhood regrets, she is willing to care about him, and she will help him get a little bit of what he didn't get before.
In the eyes of the world, he is a high-ranking emperor, a man who should be invincible, and a descendant of the royal family with a good fate. But in her eyes, he is not only an emperor, but also a person, her husband.
He is good to her, and she wants to be good to him too.
"Is the noodles I made delicious?"
He heard her ask.
He nodded, resting his head on her stomach, like a tired traveler who finally found his own oasis.
"This is the best noodles I've ever eaten." His voice was hoarse, and he didn't look up.
"As long as you like it." Gu Rujiu smiled, gently caressing the back of his head with her right hand, her expression extremely gentle.
"Will you make me a bowl at this time every year in the future?" The temperature of his abdomen was transmitted to his cheeks through the thin cloth, and his face was a little red.
"Okay," she smiled like the most beautiful short-lived in the night, "as long as you like it, I will do it for you at this time of year."
In order to give Jin Yang this surprise, she spent a lot of time yesterday to successfully make such a longevity noodle, and let the people below carefully use it to chill it so as not to spoil the taste. The appearance is indeed ugly, but it is one.
"The lamp is very beautiful," Jin Yang looked at the lanterns in the courtyard, let go of Gu Rujiu's waist, got up and took her hand and walked under a tree, then took a rabbit lamp and held it in his hand, "I like it the most. this one."
Gu Rujiu looked at the naive rabbit in his hand, and took out a golden mouse lamp, "My favorite is this one."
Gu Rujiu is a rabbit and Jin Yang is a rat.
The two looked at the lamps in each other's hands, and both felt that the other was childish, so they laughed together.
"It's a pity that today is the waning moon, so I can't enjoy the moon." Jin Yang held Gu Rujiu's hand and walked slowly in the yard with her, and then watched each lamp carefully. These lamps were not as delicate as the lanterns in the palace. , but with a unique folk flavor.
He looked at the people around him for a long time, and suddenly thought that when he went to the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, the lanterns he could see were nothing like this. What's more, there was no one around him at that time, no one cared. Unlike now, someone is with him, and someone is worried about him.
"The moon is so beautiful, how can you enjoy the lights?" Gu Rujiu smiled and looked up at the dark sky, "It's just right now."
"You're right, it's just right," Jin Yang nodded with a smile. After he had finished admiring the lanterns on each tree, he looked at Gu Rujiu and said, "Jiu Jiu, tonight... I'm very happy."
Gu Rujiu turned to look at him: "I'm happy too, but..." She blinked, "It's getting late, you should go back to sleep." After turning around for so long, the bowl of noodles you just ate should have also digested.
"Okay," the lantern is beautiful, but to him, the beauty is not the lantern, but the friendship with him. He cared about his body for a long time and didn't want to let him go to bed late, so he would be obedient and reluctant to let her worry.
"I'll let the palace people put them away. If you want to see them, I'll let them hang them up again." Seeing that Jin Yang obediently agreed, but there was still some reluctance in his eyes, Gu Rujiu said, "What's more, we are not Have you already carried your favorite lantern in your hand?"
Jin Yang looked down at the rabbit lamp in his hand, then looked at Gu Rujiu, who was being held by him, and said with a smile, "You are right, the most precious and favorite is already in my hands."
He's not talking about lights, but people. And in her heart, she understood very well.
The two returned to the Zichen Hall. After taking a bath, Gu Rujiu sat on the head of the bed, tilted her head and smiled at Jin Yang: "Do you still have any gifts you want?"
Jin Yang looked at her sexy collarbone, white and smooth legs, and her eyes were bright: "Of course there is."
Hearing this, Gu Rujiu hooked his index finger: "The gift is here, you need the master to pick it up."
Jin Yang strode forward and opened the most beautiful gift in the world.
The lanterns in Luanhe Palace were lit all night, and early the next morning, Bai Xian took someone and carefully picked up the lanterns.
He Ming, who came with him, smiled and said without a smile: "Eunuch Bai is really capable, but this matter was kept secret."
"How can a servant go against what the mother-in-law ordered to do," Bai Xian handed the lotus lantern in his hand to the eunuch behind him, "Everyone knows that Eunuch He is the most proud person in front of His Majesty, how can I let it go? You know, so please forgive me, Eunuch He."
He Ming was choked by Bai Xian's words, and then he said, "You are the person in front of Your Majesty. If you plan for the Empress, you are not afraid that Your Majesty will be dissatisfied with you?"
"He Ming, do you know how many years I have served in front of Your Majesty?" Bai Xian stood up on tiptoe and took off a moon lamp, and then carefully handed it over to an eunuch. After the eunuch left, he continued, "Someone For His Majesty's painstaking efforts to get to this point, I was sent by her, so what?"
At that time, he received the favor of the princess, so after being transferred to His Majesty's side to serve him, he didn't complain much, but only repaid the favor of the princess in the past.
As a eunuch, he can't do many things, can't do many things, and has many helpless things.
He knows better than anyone what His Majesty's life was in Prince Cheng's mansion, so now that Princess Cheng brings her children into the palace and asks someone to give him a gift, he will directly slap the gift on the other party's face.
He doesn't care whether others scold him for being a dog or a villain, but it is impossible for him to give Princess Cheng a good look.
He Ming heard Bai Xian say this, and was silent for a moment, and he no longer had trouble with Bai Xian, but walked to another tree and took down a monkey holding a peach lamp.
He didn't quite understand the Queen's intentions, because these lanterns didn't look like a special scene, and even the style was something that children liked. How could she think of using these things to coax His Majesty's favor
Although he didn't understand it in his heart, when he saw Bai Xian's cautious attitude towards these lanterns, he knew that these lanterns that looked childish and romantic, might be very important to His Majesty.
Gu Rujiu didn't want to get up at all, she was wrapped in a silk quilt, and her naked shoulders were exposed from the corner of the quilt.
"Sleep a little longer?" Jin Yang walked to the bed with a ruddy face, lowered his head and kissed the corner of her mouth, "I'll go to the imperial study, and I'll be back before noon."
"Well," Gu Rujiu nodded while under the quilt, looked at the back of Jin Yang's departure, and touched the corner of his mouth. To be able to kiss the corners of her mouth affectionately when she didn't wash her face or rinse her mouth, Jin Yang must have true love for her.
"Your Majesty seems to be in a good mood today," Jin Xiang followed behind Jin Yang and said with a smile, "It seems that a big happy event has happened."
"Huh?" Jin Yang touched his face, only to find that the corners of his mouth looked at him involuntarily, "It's really good."
Jin Xiang's eyes rolled, and there was a spectrum in his heart. Seeing His Majesty's blushing face with joy in the corners of his eyes, it must have been a pleasant night.
The Empress is really amazing. There were several stunning beauties at the birthday banquet yesterday. His Majesty didn't even look at it at all. From beginning to end, he either talked to the minister or focused on the Empress.
To allow an emperor to achieve this level, the Queen's concubine's method is truly remarkable.
Hu Yunqi, who was walking side by side with Jin Xiang, raised his eyebrows and said nothing. Although he and Jin Xiang are both deputy commanders of the Dragon Imperial Guard, but Jin Xiang and His Majesty are brothers of the same clan, this relationship is not comparable to him. So what Jin Xiang could say, he couldn't.
But he is also a man, so he naturally sees why His Majesty is in a good mood. Although his thoughts are not as unrestrained as Jin Xiang's, the direction is indeed the same.
Your Majesty's love for the Empress must be true love.
"No wonder," Jin Xiang said, "Your Majesty seems to be extraordinarily energetic today. Is it because he is a year older and has been blessed by God?"
Amused by his words, Jin Yang said, "I borrowed you auspicious words."
Jin Xiang touched his head and smiled honestly, as if he was a little embarrassed.
Outside the imperial study, Li Guangji stood quietly. Seeing that His Majesty did not take the imperial carriage, but walked over with the eunuch Long Jingwei, he straightened his sleeves, walked to Jin Yang, and gave him a big gift.
"There is no need for Li Xiangji to be more polite," Jin Yang said to excuse him after Li Guangji had performed the ritual. "Li Xiang went outside the imperial study early in the morning, but what's the matter?"
"Report to Your Majesty, this minister has been wronged, please let Your Majesty be the master." Li Guangji bowed deeply to Jin Yang with a bitter look on his face.
Seeing that Li Guangji continued to bend his head to his knees, the smile on Jin Yang's face faded a little: "What's the matter, Li Xiang follows me to the imperial study to talk about it."
"Yes." Li Guangji stood up, bowed and followed Jin Yang into the gate of the imperial study.
Jin Xiang raised his eyebrows and stood at the door with Hu Yunqi, then he was careful about the movement inside.
"Your Majesty, King Zhong had people surrounded the door of the minister's house early this morning, and people poured ink and cursed the street, and made Weichen's family face disgrace. Please, Your Majesty, be the master of Weichen."
Only then did Jin Yang realize that the shirt Li Guangji was wearing was a little wrinkled, and there were a few drops of ink standing on the corner of the shirt, which looked a bit sloppy compared to his previous image.
"What's going on here?" Jin Yang looked surprised, "You have no relationship with the Prime Minister, how could you cause such a big thing?"
"This matter..." Li Guangji sighed and explained everything in detail.
It turned out that after the birthday banquet ended yesterday, the civil and military capitals of the Manchu Dynasty went back to their respective homes, and then the carriage of the King Zhong and the carriage of the Li family met. At that time, the Li family's carriage was on the bend, and the Zhongwang's carriage was on the straight.
Because the Li family's status has always been very arrogant, and the situation is straight and curved, the Li family's coachman did not stop the carriage at all, and went directly to the front of the carriage over the Zhongwangfu.
After Li Guangji knew about this, he scolded the groom and prepared to visit King Zhong today. Who knew that he hadn't left the house yet, but King Zhong came first. Then, regardless of the 3721, someone splashed ink on the door of their house.
The reason is that the Li family does not follow the rules, does not distinguish between high and low, and does not even know the most basic etiquette, which is really insulting.
Before entering the palace, Li Guangji also guessed, did King Zhong know that he was arranging people to impeach him behind his back, so he used the topic to deliberately prevent the Li family from stepping down
But thinking that the identities of the people he arranged are very ordinary, I am afraid that even the relatives of those people may not be able to guess their relationship with him, how could King Zhong know the cause and effect after hearing the cause and effect, Jin Yang pondered: "Li Xiang, Zhen This uncle has always been reckless, so I will let him take him back and won't let him come to trouble the Li family again."
Uncle? Li Guangji almost didn't spit out a mouthful of blood in his heart. This is how many generations of blood relations are missing, and His Majesty is so close to calling King Zhong an uncle
Doesn't His Majesty hate people in Yurou Township, why is he so kind to King Zhong
Didn't the memorials for impeaching the loyal king have any influence on His Majesty's judgment? If this is true, it can be seen how firm His Majesty is in his heart, and the firmness is simply frightening.
Moreover, this obviously maintains the attitude of King Zhong. The implication is that King Zhong is such an unreliable person. You should be more concerned with a reliable person like you.
Li Guangji felt a little embarrassed, but seeing that His Majesty was clearly unwilling to take care of the affairs of the two families, he had no choice but to bow before retreating.
"What kind of hairpin and Ying family, what etiquette is advertised, and there is no distinction between the high and the low, what is the etiquette?" King Zhong scolded in a loud voice. There was no dirty word in these words, but every sentence seemed to be in Poke the heart of the Li family.
The Li family despised a man with a simple mind and strong limbs like King Zhong, but the other party was the king of iron hats, a scumbag that many people in the Dafeng Dynasty did not know about, so even if the other party splashed on the door of their house, they would not It's good to use force against King Zhong, but just argue with the people brought by King Zhong.
Seeing the iron hat king and the first-class family of the Li clan have had a lot of trouble, which made many onlookers red with excitement, wishing that the two sides would fight immediately, it would be even more interesting.
To everyone's disappointment, the Li family was very smart and did not take the initiative to fight with the people brought by King Zhong, and King Zhong did not let the servants beat them, but only asked the servants to scold the Li family, and the person in front had a hoarse voice. Now, let another person come on, just like a street fighter who bullies others at the head of the town.
Li Jiaao has been in the capital for so many years, when encountering such unreasonable things, several Li family members were almost so angry that they couldn't breathe.
On the other hand, King Zhong, who made Li Jiaqi look like this, was sitting on a carved chair with Erlang's legs crossed, holding a blue-and-white tea cup, and he looked leisurely, which simply refreshed the three views of the people in the capital.
It turns out that there is a contradiction, how can you still do this
Look at how angry the Li family is, this loyal prince can still drink tea leisurely, and he doesn't care about the Li family.
Many people have feelings of envy, jealousy and hatred towards a family like the Li family, so when they suddenly see the high-ranking Li family being bullied like this, many onlookers have an unspeakable feeling in their hearts. Pleasure, there is a vague hope that the Li family will be more unlucky.
The dignified prince and the prime minister are so arrogant, it really doesn't look good. No matter how happy the people watching the fun, they all show concern and "I don't understand anything" on their faces.
When Gu Cunjing brought Long Jingwei to the scene of the incident, he found that there were crowds of onlookers who did not know the truth standing in every corner not far away. He sighed helplessly, got off his horse and walked to King Zhong: The official has seen King Zhong."
After King Zhong saw Gu Cunjing's appearance, he put down Erlang's legs that were shaking, and then handed the teacup to the long attendant behind him, "Who is this lord?"
"Commander of the Imperial Guard under the Dragon." Gu Cunjing looked back at the door of the Li family's house, and saw that more than half of it had been splashed black with ink, and even the stone lions on the threshold stone steps were pitch-dark, looking particularly tragic." The lower officials are here by the emperor's order."
"The commander of the Dragon Guard is a good position," Zhongwang nodded and said with a smile, "I don't give other people's face, but the commander is the person in front of His Majesty, different from others." After saying these words, he Standing up, without asking what order Gu Cunjing had come under the emperor, he waved to the subordinate he brought, "Since the commander has come to intercede for the Li family, this king will give the Li family a face. Wang will definitely play a copy of the Li family."
The Li family was out of breath again, should they still thank him for not holding him accountable
"Master Commander," Although King Zhong was bitter and unreasonable towards the Li family, he was still very polite when facing Gu Cunjing, "It's not that this king and the Li family can't get along, it's just that this king is a member of the royal family. Even an aristocratic family is not as expensive as our royal family. Don't they look down on me, the royal family, and the emperor when they act like this?" Speaking of which, he said bitterly, "If my ancestors are embarrassed because of me, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me in this life. Peace of mind!"
To speak such a matter of stealing the road so solemnly, fresh and refined, King Zhong is considered a talent.
Gu Cunjing looked at him with admiration.
Gu Cunjing felt a little speechless for a while.
After saying what he wanted to say, Prince Zhong waved his hand and said goodbye to Gu Cunjing. Dust away.
"Too deceiving!" Li Lao Er, as Li Guangji's younger brother, is also quite good at poetry, so he is very respected in Beijing. Seeing Prince Zhong leave without anyone else, his face turned pale. If Li Huaigu, who was next to him, had not pulled him, maybe he would have passed out by now.
Gu Cunjing didn't look at the faces of the Li family, and after clasping his fists politely, he left with his subordinates.
In fact, he didn't even think that King Zhong, who made such a big mess, would leave so easily, and things went so smoothly that Gu Cunjing doubted the authenticity.
