After the Spring Festival, Emperor Yongkun finally had some free time. At this time, Hui Dezhi ordered his servants to move things to the main house of the Qingming Palace. The congratulatory gifts brought by several neighboring countries were precious, rare, and beautiful. It's all here. Several large boxes are heavy and stocky.
Today was the third day of the third day, there was a temple fair in Kyoto during the day, and there was a lantern riddle party after dinner, Qingruo went to play with Emperor Yongkun by pulling his sleeves, and then left the palace yesterday evening with Ruyi Linglong.
After the sixth day, Qingruo's parents had to leave for the frontier. She wanted to go out to play, and also wanted to go home for two days. She went back to the Gong's residence last night, and had a day of fun outside today. It seemed that she came back in preparation for the fourth day.
So now the master of Qingming Palace is not here, only two nuns in charge and a group of servant girls.
"After Miss Gong returns to the palace, let Miss Gong pick out the things she likes and then notify the Ministry of Internal Affairs to come and record them."
"yes."
Dezhi returned to the Qianlong Palace to report, "Your Majesty, the things have been delivered, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs will record them after Miss Gong comes back to pick them up."
"Hmm." Emperor Yongkun was sorting out some documents and notes, and put the brush and inkstone aside, so that he could write on the place where annotations were needed.
After Qingruo told him about Beihu's politics last time, Emperor Yongkun taught her something more, like 'politics'. He taught her that the political world is between the emperor's government and the courtier's government. In the past two days, he took advantage of his spare time to find out the notes that he wrote down when he was studying, which is suitable for her to read now.
Fortunately, she is not disgusted with these aspects, and she is still serious about her studies, and she has made rapid progress.
"Have the arrangements been made at the Gong residence?"
"It's been arranged. Gong Shoufu originally had two secret guards for Miss Gong, and now there are six secret guards sent by His Majesty to follow Miss Gong. On the surface, Miss Gong's two maids can also punch and kick, and there are two more Guard."
He was busy some time ago, and occasionally he was able to go to the Qingming Hall to have dinner with her. It was only a few words when he saw her in normal times. Last time he went to see her playing chess, he told him that he hadn't played chess with him for a long time. .
Now that he was free, the little one ran out to play.
Emperor Yongkun made some calculations in his mind, and after sorting out the notes for her, he ordered Dezhi, "Change clothes, I'm going out of the palace."
De Zhi waited on Emperor Yongkun to change his clothes, Emperor Yongkun raised his hand and beckoned a hidden guard, "Go to the branch of the Gong Mansion."
"It's Your Majesty."
Emperor Yongkun didn't bring any guards with him, only Dezhi.
The Gong family was notified, because it was the words from the secret guards, obviously Emperor Yongkun didn't want others to know, so he didn't publicize it, but Gong Shoufu summoned the family to prepare to welcome the holy car.
Gong Shoufu's attendants waited at the door, bowed to welcome Emperor Yongkun and Dezhi all the way to the main room, and then knelt down with the Gong family who were waiting together in the hall to greet the saint, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live. "
Emperor Yongkun raised his hand to avoid the ceremony, "Pingshen, I just came out for a walk, just be casual."
After welcoming the holy driver, the woman was led back to the backyard by the old lady, and the concubine was also led by the second master. Everything in the hall was already prepared, and Emperor Yongkun could do whatever he wanted.
Emperor Yongkun raised his eyes and glanced at the retreating female relatives of the Gong family, and asked Gong Shoufu directly, "Where is Xiao Ruo?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, after lunch, he said he was going to a temple fair and took people out. Just now, the old minister has sent someone to look for it."
Emperor Yong Kun nodded, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "You can play outside for so long in such a cold day."
He didn't bother to sit down when no one was around, "Let's go, Shoufu took me to see the garden of Gong's Mansion. I heard earlier that the garden of Gong's Mansion is very interesting."
Gong Shoufu bowed to accept the order, "It's not interesting, it's just some novel styles that the juniors like. Your Majesty, please."
The garden of Gong's mansion is really interesting, and Emperor Yongkun knew who the so-called junior's preference was referring to at a glance, and she was the only one who could allow Gong Shoufu to do so freely.
Halfway through the garden, a servant came to tell the young lady that she was back. Gong Shoufu glanced at the emperor's expression, "Your Majesty..."
Just when he bowed and spoke, a clear voice came over, "Your Majesty~"
That's right, the hidden guard on her side was also notified, and rushed over as soon as she got home.
Although he was dressed warmly, it was cold after all, and now there were two small spots of bright red on his cheeks, seeing him standing here and pulling his cloak over.
"Yeah." Emperor Yongkun stretched out his hand to pull her to his side, and raised his hand to stroke her hair. After being outside for a long time, her hair felt wet and dewy, and she frowned, "Go back to the house first and take a shower." Change clothes."
Qing Ruo raised her sleeve and sniffed, wrinkled her nose and asked him, "It doesn't smell bad, I just took a shower yesterday."
Emperor Yong Kun's frowning brows relaxed, and the hand on top of her head tapped twice in reverse, "Good boy, go take a bath first."
"Okay." Still obediently agreed. "Qing Ruo will leave first." Blessing a group of people, she took her maid and went back to the yard first.
Emperor Yongkun saw her go, and turned to Gong Shoufu, "Let the kitchen cook a bowl of cold soup and send it to her."
"… yes."
Because Emperor Yongkun was there, all the direct descendants of the Gong family were there for dinner, but the men and Emperor Yongkun were in the main hall, while the female relatives were arranged in the side hall. The Gong family saluted Emperor Yongkun, and the old lady led the female relatives to the side hall Walk.
"Xiao Ruo, come here." Emperor Yong Kun beckoned, and directly pulled Qing Ruo to his right hand.
He took the main seat, with Gong Shoufu on the left and Qing Ruo on the right.
Emperor Yongkun was in a good mood, and when Gong Shoufu asked him if he wanted to serve wine, he happily agreed.
There was no deliberate persuasion to drink alcohol, as long as the men had wine at the dinner table, they would be more relaxed. The Gong family was talking with Emperor Yongkun, and Dezhi walked around to Qingruo and served her a meal first.
After talking to Gong Shoufu, he turned around and patted her head, "What's wrong?"
The little guy was sleepy, he ate a little bit of food after half a day, and didn't eat much of the food, and the prawns that Ruyi Linglong peeled for her didn't move at all.
Qing Ruo rubbed his palms, and put one hand on his stomach, "I ate something at the temple fair at noon, and I drank the cold soup when I came back, and I felt my stomach was bloated and uncomfortable."
Emperor Yongkun frowned, stretched out his other hand and placed it on her little hand, and then gently pushed her hand away, gathering some internal strength in his palm, and rubbed it warmly for her twice, "Yes Eat too much or the temple fair is not clean?"
Qingruo shook her head, because the corners of his eyes were narrowed because of his comfortable movements, but he still looked sleepy.
Emperor Yongkun continued to rub her, turned around and began to order, "Shoufu, the medical staff kept in the Chuan mansion will come over and show Xiao Ruo to see if there is something unclean to eat after eating."
He also told Dezhi behind him, "Go ask the kitchen to make some light food for digestion."
Qing Ruo pulled his sleeve, Emperor Yong Kun lowered his head, "What's wrong?"
"Your Majesty, I want to eat the fragrant hawthorn sauce."
Emperor Yongkun laughed, and his words were neither light nor heavy, "I feel uncomfortable and want to eat." He turned around and said to Gong Shoufu, "Shoufu, take your brand and ask the guards to go to Xiangmanlou to buy a copy for her as soon as possible. .”
Xiangmanlou is the largest restaurant in Kyoto. Of course, not only the wine in it is famous, but also all kinds of food dishes. Today, on the third day of junior high school, many people want to order dishes and wine at Xiangmanlou because of the banquet in Fuchu.
So this time, if you want to buy a meal as soon as possible, you have to take Gong Shoufu's brand to free up manpower to cook for her that day.
Gong Shoufu, "..." He has been an official in the court for so many years, except for using the brand in official affairs, he has never used the brand to gain privileges in private affairs, so this is the first time, he went to a restaurant to buy a portion of hawthorn sauce.
Well, the emperor's order can be regarded as official business.
The servants who were waiting around got busy.
The emperor who was rubbing his belly here was dripping water gently, looking down at her, "Is it more comfortable?"
A table of people couldn't bear to look straight away and turned their heads away. Although I have already gotten used to Qing Ruo's state of looking like wind and rain in Gong's house, but seeing their majestic and solemn emperor for the first time, it is still a bit messy.
There was a charcoal fire in the room to keep warm, but it was winter after all, and the dishes on the table were changed as soon as they were cold, waiting for the kitchen to make something for her, waiting for the guards to buy her hawthorn sauce back, Emperor Yongkun spoke softly He coaxed her to eat some vegetables first, and promised to ask the doctor to take the pulse after eating, and if there was no problem, he would accompany her to the lantern riddle meeting in the evening.
Qingruo has always eaten regularly, and the food she eats is either prepared for her by the Gong family or carefully prepared by the imperial dining room. Today, she ate a lot outside in the cold wind, and she was a little overwhelmed.
The kitchen made something for her to digest, and Emperor Yongkun's warm palm rubbed her for a while with internal energy. When the doctor in the mansion came to feel the pulse, there was no major problem.
The little girl who had regained her vitality was grabbed by Emperor Yongkun. Emperor Yongkun took the cloak that Ruyi handed over to cover her whole body, and then pulled up the hat for her to put on. In her hands, the whole person was wrapped round and round, revealing a delicate and charming little face and translucent and clear almond eyes.
Emperor Yongkun pursed his lips and told her, "There are many people at night, just follow me, don't run around."
Nodding heavily, the watery eyes wrapped around his sight like a silk thread, on the tip of his heart.
The people of the Gong residence followed Gong Shoufu to kneel to see the emperor off, and the emperor was still holding Miss Jiaojiao of their family by the hand.
Gong Shoufu straightened up after knocking. Emperor Yongkun had a strong figure, and his steps were steady and heavy. Gong Shoufu sighed heavily as he looked at it. go.
After eating a meal, everyone in the Gong family knew the truth, but Emperor Yongkun didn't realize it now. He took care of Qingruo, and he was so overbearing that he almost excluded the rest of the Gong family.
In the early years, the first emperor was still there, and Emperor Yongkun was only a prince.
Gong Shoufu has met Situ Xi several times. She is the daughter of a general and has a resolute and tenacious personality.
Her father was not optimistic about Emperor Yongkun, but she had a relationship with Emperor Yongkun, so her father naturally disagreed.
At the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner in the palace, Gong Shoufu remembered that her father asked the late emperor to marry her and another soldier based on his achievements in the First World War. Emperor Yongkun was also at the banquet at that time, but at that time, the conflict between him and the fifth prince intensified, so Emperor Yongkun remained silent.
Situ Xi knelt beside her father and begged the first emperor not to issue an order.
Later, as the battle for the throne became more intense, Situ Xi finally married, not Emperor Yongkun, but the soldier her father had asked for her. For Emperor Yongkun, Situ Xi made a deal with her father.
Gong Shoufu was not the chief minister at that time, but he was also a minister. Even if he didn't want to know many things deliberately, he still wanted to know them in order to survive, and he knew them in detail.
From his teenage years until his death, Situ Xi gave all his value to Emperor Yongkun, and the road to the emperor was already full of blood.
Gong Shoufu also knew that there was nothing wrong with such a thing, but before Situ Xi died, Gong Shoufu met her once. At the age of twenty-four, she seemed to be as old as in her thirties. Gong Shoufu took the imperial doctor with him at that time, and watching her suddenly remembered Situ Xi when he was a teenager and came back from the frontier with her father.
With a soft whip wrapped around her waist, her self-confidence is as dazzling as a blooming peony.
Gong Shoufu didn't know how much love Emperor Yongkun had given her, or how much of this love was left after it met the power.
He has always been a ruthless person, let alone others, he is even more ruthless to himself.
What Gong Shoufu saw back then was Emperor Yongkun's ruthless, successful man, who he looked like. Going forward with one heart, you can cut off love and love, until you hold the world in your hands, and then let your preferences be unrestrained.
One month after the new emperor ascended the throne, ordinary people can only feel that the New Deal has been implemented, and the life of ordinary people will be better in the future. They cheer and they are happy.
As for the nobles of the court in the imperial city, they were almost bloodbathed in that month.
Later, Emperor Yongkun called him into the palace. Only Dezhi was guarding the gate of the government affairs hall, and only the emperor was inside. The young emperor held a teacup and took a sip of tea, "Shoufu, go and help me get her spirit card out."
Since then, Gong Shoufu has never heard the emperor mention her name or anything about her. But Jingheng has no heirs, the harem is empty, there is no draft, and there is no such thing as entering the palace as a concubine.
At this time, Emperor Yongkun grabbed the little girl who was in the crowd, pulled her back into his arms with a little force on his arm to protect him, went forward to write down the answer to the lantern riddle, and got the lantern she wanted and handed it to him. she.
"Wow~ so amazing~"
The little girl's eyes were brighter than the lantern in her hand, she raised her hand and touched her head, her words were indulgent and gentle, "Which one do you want?"
Ruyi Linglong and Dezhi who followed behind her were all holding the lantern he had won, and they even asked the guards to ask for a private room in the restaurant to keep it for her when they couldn't hold it anymore. go back.
Qing Ruo turned her head to look, then raised her head and pointed to a lantern in the shape of a little white rabbit hanging high above the booth.
"that!"
Emperor Yong Kun squinted his eyes, pressed his tongue against the roots of his teeth, lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "Good boy, brother Youyan."
Qing Ruo squinted at him with the corner of her mouth curled up, seeing that Emperor Yong Kun was about to reach out to pinch her nose, then leaned over to hold his arm and said softly, "Brother Youyan."
Emperor Yongkun narrowed his eyes slightly to cover the tenderness and warmth inside, turned around and firmly encircled her little hand with his big palm, pulling her towards that side.
**
want,
Brother Youyan will give you all.
