When he left the palace of the eldest princess and returned to the palace, An Changqing was still a little erratic and couldn't get to the point.
Standing side by side with the king, standing shoulder to shoulder with you, even if you count hundreds of years and thousands of years forward, only a few people can deserve this honor. And behind this honor, it is often related to the politics of the previous dynasty, and those who can win this honor. Could it be that he has made a great contribution.
He felt that the weight of this side-by-side king was even heavier than the canonization of a queen. Anxiety in his heart also brought to his face.
Xiao Zhige had been with him for a long time, and at a glance he could see his worries, he took his hand and said, "Well, do you think this reward is too heavy?"
An Changqing nodded honestly. Compared with those who made great contributions in the previous dynasty, his achievements were really insignificant, and such a heavy reward made him feel embarrassed.
However, Xiao Zhige disagreed and said sternly, "Well, it's too arrogant to belittle yourself."
He counted what An Changqing had done along the way.
Relieve snow disasters and solve the crisis in Yanzhou; reform the farmland system in Yanzhou, promote sweet potato planting to solve the livelihood problems of the people; also set up artisan workshops, making drum carts and other agricultural tools to promote agricultural production; The gun was made, and he also contributed a lot...
"These are all important things for the benefit of the country and the people. You can't say that your achievements surpass your predecessors, but you are not inferior. But you can afford it, you don't need to feel ashamed."
Seeing An Changqing's face slightly embarrassed, Xiao Zhige's serious face fluctuated for a while, and then changed to a more intimate tone: "Besides, it is a great achievement to give birth to a dragon and a phoenix for me. The queen deserves it. This side-by-side king naturally deserves it.”
The emotions that An Changqing had not easily brewed up in an instant, and glared at him a little angrily. This man is really getting more and more serious, and he has to make fun of him when he talks about business.
He was angry and annoyed, and the end of his eyes was dyed a thin red. Xiao Zhige looked happy, grabbed his hand and pulled the man into his arms, regardless of whether he was still on the carriage, and smugly whispered into his earlobe: "Besides, if it wasn't, it wouldn't be. There will be the me I am today. Even if I become emperor side by side, I should be..."
This person has always followed the rules of etiquette. This was the case in his previous life. Although he was slightly less hostile in this life, his temper was still the same. When it comes to nonsense, there is a whole set of reasons. An Changqing thought in a dizzy way. Fortunately, he said this in front of him. …
***
After returning to the palace, Xiao Zhige really began to prepare for the knighthood.
An Changqing's title, mansion, and fief, he had to make it himself. After deliberation for a long time, the word "geese" was settled.
When people got married, Xingxing used the wild goose as an employment, taking its loyalty; Combining the two, the title was set.
On October 20th, An Changqing returned to the former Northern War Palace with a pair of children.
The next day, the imperial decree for the reward arrived.
Led by An Changqing, the Northern War Palace knelt down at the door to receive the imperial decree. The eunuch who came to announce the decree was Han Zhang, the newly promoted head of eunuchs beside Xiao Zhige. Han Zhang was about thirty years old, he was simple and honest and chubby, but he was very smart and winking. Otherwise, Xiao Zhige wouldn't have promoted him to be the chief eunuch and served him closely by his side.
After Xiao Zhige ascended the throne, An Changqing was brought into the palace. The palace seemed calm, but in fact, there was a dark tide outside, and there were countless rumors. The new emperor's ascension to the throne is a major event. If the princess is a woman, then it will be a matter of course. But the princess of the Northern War is a man. There are pedantic old ministers who did not dare to say it on the surface, but implicitly and implicitly hinted that there has never been a male queen since ancient times.
In addition, An Changqing was taken into the palace just like this, but no news of the canonization has come out, it seems that he will be kept in the palace for no reason. Therefore, many people's minds are floating, and inevitably they are eyeing the position of the queen.
It's just that these bad things were suppressed by Xiao Zhige, and there was no chance for them to be introduced into the harem, which stained An Changqing's ears.
Others couldn't understand it, but Han Zhang, the eunuch in charge who was with Xiao Zhige all day, could see it most clearly - this post was left empty and would not go to another house. Those people outside still have too little understanding of this new emperor.
Therefore, Han Zhang was very polite to An Changqing, and his face was wrinkled with a smile, and he announced the decree without delay.
Han Zhang's voice was high and high-pitched, and he recited a long and eloquent speech before he read the main part: "...you have made great contributions to the country and the people, and Jia Yanyi's actions should be the leader of the world, and the word "side by side" is specially given. The same respect as the king, no need to kneel and worship the etiquette, and can enter and leave the palace at any time..."
"...the title of Yan, and the grant of the land of Yanzhou... It is advisable to order a secretary to choose a day, prepare a book of ceremonies, and the master will implement it."
In addition, there are also rewards from the little prince and the little princess. The eldest son, Xiao Anheng, was established as the crown prince, and the eldest daughter, Xiao Anzhu, as the princess, was given the title "Sui Zhu".
After reciting the edict, and then reciting the reward, it took half an hour to finish reading all of them. Han Zhang rolled up the edict with a smile, and personally helped An Changqing up: "Congratulations to King Yan, congratulations to His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness, Princess."
Although An Changqing had already prepared, he was still a little excited at this time. He gave a wink, and An Fu, who was beside him, took out the reward that he had prepared a long time ago and distributed it to everyone. Han Zhang got the biggest share, with a bigger smile: "Thanks to King Yan for the reward, and the slaves are also happy with the prince."
After declaring the decree, Han Zhang should go back to the palace. Before leaving, he said again: "Your Majesty said yesterday that the palace still needs to be repaired and renovated, and the prince should not stay for a long time. Now the palace is deserted, and it is not delicious for your majesty to eat alone."
An Changqing only left the palace yesterday afternoon, and it took less than a day for the two of them to separate. It was really shameless for this person to call Han Zhang Chuan such words. An Changqing slandered secretly, but her ears were slightly red, and she said, "I see."
When the people from the palace leave, the servants will move in all the gifts and put them away. Butler Wang was the first to come to congratulate him: "Congratulations, Princess." After speaking, he realized that An Changqing was now the King of Yan, and changed his words: "The servant is so confused, it's time to call him the prince."
An Changqing didn't care much about the title, but just thinking of what Xiao Zhige had done for him, his heart was soaring. The title Yan, the special fief of Yanzhou, and the old house of the Northern War Palace were given to him... These tiny details, when carefully tasted, are full of sweet tastes.
Only those who care about it know what Yanzhou and this mansion mean to him.
An Changqing cocked the corners of her mouth, and she actually missed the people who were far away in the palace. However, today's award is given, and there is no shortage of people to congratulate these few days. He will not be able to escape for a while, and he can only stay in the palace for a few more days.
The next day, there was an endless stream of people who came to congratulate, and the palace of the Northern War Dynasty was transformed into the palace of the King of Yan, and the threshold was almost broken.
An Changqing, wearing the prince's python robe, received endless congratulations in the flower hall. It was the same noisy and lively, but the biggest difference from the past was that now all the princes and princes were around him.
On the first two days, An Changqing was congratulated in the mansion. At the end of the day, they were all irrelevant people, so An Changqing asked Butler Wang and An Fu to come forward to entertain them. He invited Qi Wei and other close people to get together.
Xiao Zhige ascended the throne as emperor, and Qi Wei and others were also rewarded for meritorious deeds, adding officials and titles. It's just that everyone's friendship started in Yanzhou, and it is deeper than others. Without outsiders, they are still close and laughing as usual.
Qi Wei couldn't keep his mouth shut after drinking too much, and muttered: "His Majesty hasn't stood up for a long time, Tie Hu and I were worried that the princess would be abandoned in the beginning and the end, but I didn't expect that His Majesty was going to hold back. …”
What he said was a bit outrageous, Xie Ling kicked him under the table: "You don't know who you are after drinking a little wine, and your majesty can break your mouth?"
Qi Wei glared at him: "I don't look like you are heartless. How many people wanted to put their own girls into the palace to be queens a while ago. If you want me to say, this queen is not worthy of anyone except the princess!"
"Yes! I only recognize the princess!" Tie Hu also agreed.
"That's because I have a brain." Xie Ling sneered.
He had already seen it through. His Majesty had already planned the matter of standing up. It was a pity that Xie Ling and Tie Hu could not listen to him. If he hadn't stopped him, he would I also have to go to Xiao Zhige for a hustle and bustle, and then I will be punished for nothing.
An Changqing didn't know about this, so he frowned slightly and asked, "Are many people staring at the queen's position?"
Qi Wei didn't think about it so much, and curled his lips: "That's natural. One person can get a chicken and a dog to ascend to the sky. Your Majesty is at the peak of the spring and autumn, and there is no concubine, only the prince and the princess under his knees. Those who have daughters of the right age at home, who do not want to go to the palace. People? That is, His Majesty is not fascinated by beauty, so he rejected it all."
But An Changqing didn't know about this, and he had never heard Xiao Zhige say it before. These things did not reach him, I think it was because Xiao Zhige took it upon himself.
Now that Xiao Zhige is lavishing rewards on him again, if those people winked, they would rest their minds and wouldn't dare to come in front of him.
Xiao Zhige did ten points for him, but only took three points to take credit.
Thinking that yesterday Xiao Zhige had sent a eunuch to send a message, urging him to return to the palace, his mood that was not very urgent suddenly became a little restless.
After drinking absently with Qi Wei and others, it was already dusk. An Changqing originally wanted to rest early and return to the palace early tomorrow. Immediately, he remembered that the edict said that King Yan could enter and leave the palace at any time, he hesitated for a while, then he couldn't help but changed his clothes and hurried to the palace.
The guard at the palace gate was a Yanzhou soldier, and he respectfully let him go. After entering the palace, An Changqing went directly to the Qianzheng Palace. He expected that Xiao Zhige should be ready to rest at this time, but he did not expect to be empty.
Seeing him coming back, Wang Yu greeted him with a happy face: "Your Highness is considered to be back."
"What about Your Majesty?"
Wang Yu said: "Your Majesty has been resting in the side hall of Chongzheng Palace for the past few days that the prince is not in the palace. According to Director Han, His Majesty has to deal with political affairs every night until very late."
An Changqing frowned, then turned around and went to Chongzheng Hall.
The side hall of Chongzheng Hall was brightly lit. An Changqing went over, and the palace servants outside were about to salute him when they saw him, but An Changqing stopped him. He walked lightly into the inner hall and took a look, and sure enough, he saw Xiao Zhige buried in the desk, and the memorials on the desk were piled high.
Han Zhang cut the wick on one side and lit the candle light. When he looked up and saw An Changqing at the door, he was startled: "Your Highness?"
Xiao Zhige raised his head when he heard the sound, and saw An Changqing's eyes deepened, and then said in a piqued manner, "King Yan is really a rare visitor."
An Changqing pursed her lips, gave Han Zhang a wink, and walked in. Han Zhang understood, and quickly withdrew, and by the way sent the palace servants who were serving outside to the outside.
Xiao Zhige was very unhappy, he was like a free bird, and he didn't want to come back once he was released. These days he is alone in the deep palace, listening to the news from the palace, he ate two bowls less of the stuffy meal.
He deliberately straightened his face and didn't speak first. If it had been in the previous dynasty, the courtiers would have been frightened by the war when they saw him like this.
It was a pity that An Changqing was not one of those former officials who feared him, nor was he afraid of the cold face he pretended to be. Like a bird returning to its nest, he walked up to him in three or two steps, then sat on his lap, then raised his head and pecked his chin, his bent eyes full of cunning: "I miss you."
Xiao Zhige frowned and said nothing.
An Changqing then kissed him on the side of the cheek again, and asked, "Does Your Majesty want me?"
Xiao Zhige finally couldn't hold back, grabbed his waist, put him between himself and the table, and bit him fiercely: "I miss you, doesn't King Yan know?"
An Changqing cooperated with his kiss, the corners of his mouth raised high, and Heiliang's eyes were full of smiles: "I know, so I came back at night."
Xiao Zhige moved for a while, his arms could not help tightening, and his movements became more fierce.
And this night, An Changqing paid a very painful price for not returning home for the past few days.
The author has something to say: Cowardly: I think I made a wrong decision.
