"The kindness of my mother's parenting has always been in my heart, and I have never dared to forget it."
"Your temperament has always been heavy and quiet. Since A Ling left, you haven't stepped into the harem again. Aijia is worried about you, but she doesn't know where to start. Fortunately, Qin shi entered the palace and made you like it. The Empress Dowager Chu dropped another son and said slowly: "There are some things Aijia knows that Your Majesty doesn't like to hear them, but the imperial harem is not a family affair, but a state affair. Since it is a state affair, there are rules and regulations to abide by, and Aijia always has to tell you. two sentences."
Xiao Yu turned the wrench on his hand, noncommittal.
The Empress Dowager Chu changed her usual tyranny and said earnestly:
"Since last year's election, the Qin family was named a sixth-rank beauty. In less than a year, not only did he have a prince, but he also leapt to the third-rank Zhaoyi. Your Majesty is so fond of Qin Zhaoyi, isn't he afraid of incurring words and confusing people's hearts? If the post-officer is in chaos, how can the previous dynasty be safe? The Ai family has a word to enter His Majesty. It is better for His Majesty to use the Mid-Autumn Festival to mention the positions of He Shuyi and Xu Shuyi, one decree, three courtyards, and the whole He family. , Xu family's face in the previous dynasty, why would your majesty not do it?"
"I didn't think carefully about this matter." Xiao Yu dropped a son, and responded indifferently: "Next month's Mid-Autumn Festival, I will follow my mother's words, and the Jin He and Xu families will be the fourth-grade Jieyu."
"That's it."
A smile appeared on the Empress Dowager Chu's face.
Obviously, when I was old, I only played chess so well. After talking for a while, I was a little tired. Empress Dowager Chu rubbed her forehead and called for tea.
At this time, the curtain outside the door was kicked up, and Chu Yu walked in with a black and gold painted plate Yiyi:
"The ministers and daughters pay their respects to Your Majesty."
She wears a cyan top with a goose-yellow pleated skirt on the bottom, embroidered with willow leaves on the placket, and the willow leaves scattered on the ground when she knelt down, which is extraordinarily fresh and elegant.
Xiao Yu glanced at her, Chu Yu didn't dare to look up, only to feel that the top of his head was like frost, and it was as cold as snow.
This is not the first time she has seen the emperor, but every time she sees it, she feels that the power of the emperor is growing, which is both heartbreaking and terrifying.
Empress Dowager Chu watched from the side and sighed inwardly.
Her family's face is still too tender, unlike Qin Zhaoyi's various methods, she will please men.
She went around the Buddha beads in her hand, and after a long silence, she finally said, "Ah heard that Aijia was sick on the couch, so he invited him into the palace. She has been serving in the Cining Palace for the past two days."
Xiao Yu pursed his lips. When the figure of the Chu family girl appeared in the Cining Palace, he knew that today's banquet was probably a Hongmen banquet.
He nodded slightly: "Chu Liu girl is filial and filial, she should be rewarded."
Empress Dowager Chu looked at Chu Rong, suddenly smiled, and then said, "How about Aijia asking for a reward for her?"
Xiao Yu said lightly: "The mother said it bluntly."
Empress Dowager Chu knew that there was no emperor in power who would like to be arranged, but at this time she couldn't care less and said only: "Speaking of which... Ah Li is almost two decades old this year, and it's time to talk about it. How about asking your majesty to give you a marriage, considering the age of marriage?"
Xiao Yu heard the words and raised his eyes to look at the Empress Dowager Chu.
She has never set a target. Previously, the romance was divided into two and three, but it was only for the Chu family to retreat.
The Empress Dowager Chu was shocked by his eyes, but she still smiled: "What do you think, Your Majesty?"
Xiao Yu slowly turned his head and said to the girl of the Chu family who was waiting eagerly:
"Miss Chu Liu is both talented and beautiful, and she is also filial to her mother-in-law. I will definitely choose a gentleman for you. I will accept this matter."
Chu Rong's heart tightened, and he hurriedly bowed down:
"My minister, thank you, Your Majesty."
After a game of chess, Xiao Yu got up and said goodbye:
"Empress mother rest early, I will come to accompany you another day."
The Empress Dowager Chu glanced at Chu Lin, who immediately understood.
She held a horn lamp in one hand and an umbrella in the other, and silently followed Xiao Yu who got up and walked out. Chu Yan sent people all the way out of the Cining Palace, and when he was about to leave the Cining Palace gate, he suddenly called:
"His Majesty."
Xiao Yu paused and looked back at her.
Chu Yan clenched his fists and looked at him with misty eyes: "My servant... I want to stay in the palace and serve the Queen Mother and Her Majesty forever, can Her Majesty do it?"
The night is dark and windy, and the Chu family's daughter-in-law recommends a pillow seat, I'm afraid no one will believe it if you say it.
Xiao Yu's eyes dimmed, and he said solemnly, "I don't think I heard what Miss Liu said today."
The noble girl's face was thinner than paper, and the emperor's words, "Just pretend you didn't hear it," made her blushing and shamed.
But Chu Rong only wanted to bet this time, and he could only bet this time.
She put down her umbrella, stepped forward suddenly, and let the heavy rain pour down, the soaked thin shirt outlined all the beauty of the double decade, she reached out and grabbed the corner of his robe, put it on it gently, and choked: "When the servant girl was young Entering the palace to say goodbye, I even dared to call His Majesty’s third brother several times… The ministers and daughters dare not ask His Majesty to recite the love of the past…”
"Then don't say it." Xiao Yu pushed her away, the sleeves of the robe slipped out of the woman's hands ruthlessly, and he said word by word, "You are the niece of the Queen Mother, I will not punish you for the crime of disobedience, but you Disregarding propriety, righteousness and shame is also breaking the rules, so just kneel here and sober up."
The palace people stood with bated breath, and no one dared to raise their heads. Eunuch Sheng was contemptuous in his heart. A noble woman, why is this? Seeing the emperor was about to take a step, he hurriedly jogged with his umbrella and shouted:
"Your Majesty, don't let the rain damage the dragon's body."
The rain on the top of the head was only a few moments, but it was much heavier. It was crackling on the umbrella, and the whole palace seemed to be drowned by the sound of water.
"Your Majesty, shall we go back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation?"
Sheng Gonggong asked.
Xiao Yu pondered for a moment:
"The wind is blowing, withdraw the carriage, I will return to Jingren Palace."
After Eunuch Sheng listened, he quickly waved his hand at the back, and the palace servants bowed and stepped back.
However, Xiao Yu took the horn lamp in the hand of Eunuch Sheng, and walked quickly to Jingren Palace, and soon arrived at Jingren Palace.
There was no sound of a chariot, and no announcement. Zhulan Zhuxin stood at the door and directly confronted Xiao Yu. She was so frightened that she fell to her knees in a hurry and called "Your Majesty", but she didn't have time to inform the master.
Xiao Yu lifted the curtain and walked straight into the inner hall.
The door was closed, and the candles flickered.
Qin Zhaoyi had obviously just taken a shower, and her long black and smooth hair was scattered behind her.
She was holding Xiao Yun who was washing and putting on shoes and socks.
The little prince's feet were white and tender, Qin Yan deliberately held them, and scratched them with his fingertips, causing Xiao Yun to shrink his feet subconsciously, and he was stunned, and then pulled Qin Yan and shouted, "Mother, itchy, Itchy, let go, let go, haha, haha…”
Qin Jie smiled and continued to tickle him, one big and one small playing in a ball on the bed, just as she was working hard, she heard a low cough coming from the door.
The two were arguing, and no one heard...
Xiao Yu listened to the little prince's giggle, and when he saw Qin Ye's smiling face, there was a trace of warmth in his heart.
He clenched his fist to his lips and coughed again.
This time, the two on the couch heard...
They turned around following the sound, and when they saw the person who came, they were all startled.
Xiao Yun shrank his feet subconsciously, and wanted to stand up and salute, but Qin Xun didn't let it go, and her half-raised body fell onto the couch like a duckling.
"Auntie!"
he said.
Qin Xue let go.
Xiao Yun blushed, but he still carefully arranged his clothes, got up and went down to the ground, cupping his hands:
"My son, please greet the father and emperor."
Qin Jie looked at the small tuft of hair on the little prince's head, and her eyes turned into a bright moon in the sky, but her eyes were so bright that she could not be ignored, so she also got out of bed and saluted, "Your Majesty, Wan'an. ."
Xiao Yu looked at Qin Jie's cheeks that were blushing because of the play, and the smile that had not disappeared from the corner of his mouth, and didn't speak.
The little prince, who had not seen him for a long time, raised his head, tilted his head, looked at this and then at that, thinking to himself, is there a transparent thread in the air, one end is pulling the father and the other, and the other is pulling the mother
Xiao Yu strode over and only left one sentence:
"Cover the eye."
The little prince subconsciously covered his eyes with ten fingers, but he couldn't resist curiosity, so he quietly opened a little.
I saw the majestic father holding A-Niang's slender waist just now, hey, he was too short to see clearly, so he wanted to move over quietly, only to take a step, his head was held by a hand, the father was dumb. The voice came:
"Close your eyes."
Under the prestige, Xiao Yun still closed his eyes obediently, only closed his eyes, but saw the shadows on the ground, one tall and the other petite, the small nestled in the big one.
Xiao Yu lowered his head and covered her lips.
This kiss didn't look like the usual arrogant plunder, but rather a faint lingering, Qin Xue couldn't wait for a long time, opened her eyes, but her lips were bitten. This time, it was a violent storm, crushing her, as if to tear her to pieces and swallow her in her stomach, tangled, swallowed, and couldn't breathe.
Qin Jie remembered that there were still short legs on the side, and hurriedly beat him, Xiao Yun then loosened up, and his eyes indicated: What's the matter
At this time, Yuan Ma, who was waiting on the side, took the little prince away with interest, and also evacuated everyone.
The candles in the inner room quickly dimmed.
There was a storm outside the window, and the Milky Way poured down inside the tent.
Qin Jie only felt that she was a small boat in the wind and rain, unable to do anything but tossed along with it. It's just that this bump is not a bumpy bump, but it has to follow the wind and rain. When he is fast, she can only be fast, and when it is slow, she can only make drizzle.
After the rain, Xiao Yu's palm covered Qin Jie's lower abdomen, and the finger pads slid back and forth:
"After a while, I will decree to seal you as empress."
Qin Jie couldn't help raising her eyes when she heard the words, and when she met Xiao Yu's eyes, she said seriously: "I know His Majesty's thoughts, but in the eyes of outsiders, too much favor is not beautiful, and it is easy to give His Majesty a sullen look. 's reputation, this matter cannot be rushed..."
Xiao Yu seemed to be obsessed with her lower abdomen, and said indifferently:
"Fall and fall."
Qin Jie didn't understand why he was so anxious every day. He wasn't like this before, so he sighed and said:
"Look at the fact that in the past year, my rank has risen from the seventh rank to the third rank, the prince I raised has also become a prince, and the family has also won the title... How did the Qin family get the title, it's just a matter of deceiving the world, just Who doesn't count the elites in the court?"
Xiao Yu didn't answer.
"Um?"
Seeing that he was slightly dazed, Qin Xue said again: "In addition, my brother is still an official in the imperial court, and his qualifications are still shallow. If there are more queens and sisters, your majesty will not be afraid..."
Xiao Yu's temple jumped violently, as if he knew what she was going to say, he immediately raised his hand to clamp the snow-white slender neck, blocked her lips, and raised his head after a long while:
"What am I afraid of? Huh?"
Feeling dizzy, Qin Xue hummed four words subconsciously, and she didn't know whether it was a foreign relative who was involved in politics, or whether people's hearts were changeable. In short, it was not a good word.
But I don't know why, when he said this, the stagnation in his chest dissipated a little.
