In the Yuanhe Palace, the ministers were trembling and bowing their heads.

Emperor Shengzhao's heart was even more blazing with anger, and he could explode at any time. The Murong clan in the southeast rebelled, and it has been two full hours since the beginning of the Mao Zheng Dynasty, and so many people can't even come up with a good plan!

The general Sun Feng led the troops to be stationed in the north, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty couldn't even find a pioneer in quelling the rebellion!

"Do you all eat white rice? What's the use of me spending money to feed you all these wine bags and rice bags?! All of them only know how to pick up good things all day long, and they don't even know what to drink? I can't even let out a fart when something happens! What are you doing to eat?!"

Looking at the civil and military officials who were looking at the ants with their heads down, Emperor Shengzhao finally couldn't restrain the anger in his heart, and swept off the folds on the dragon book case, and the jade liu on his head was also shaken.

Seeing this, everyone shouted in unison, and knelt down and bowed very consciously, but the head was buried lower than the other, and they wanted to stick their whole faces on the ground, and it was best to find a slit to stuff it in, for fear that they would be pulled out.

"Your Majesty, you have to pay attention to the dragon body!" Zhao Hai on the side saw that the emperor was angry, and hurriedly served a cup of tea with a smiling face.

Emperor Sheng Zhao took the teacup, looked coldly at the people crawling under his feet, and drank a little before he could barely extinguish his anger a little.

Emperor Shengzhao coughed before continuing: "Give me a good idea when I go back, if I still can't come up with a way tomorrow, I can do it myself!"

"Retreat!"

As he spoke, he waved his long sleeves and walked away.

Zhao Hai instructed the little eunuch to carefully clean up those folds, and then hurriedly turned around to keep up with Emperor Shengzhao's steps.

Walking out of the Yuanhe Palace, there are many pavilions in front of you, and you are very luxurious and graceful. Emperor Sheng Zhao looked at the vast blue and ethereal clouds in the sky, took a long breath, and the whole person seemed to age a lot in an instant.

Zhao Hai cautiously leaned over, paid attention to Emperor Shengzhao's face, and cautiously tentatively spoke: "Your Majesty, the queen invited all the ladies and ladies to enjoy the flowers in the imperial garden today, and I sent you a post the day before yesterday, and you can see this time."

When Emperor Shengzhao heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, but he didn't speak.

Zhao Hai couldn't help twitching in his heart.

It's not easy to do anything, others look at his grace and infinite scenery, but they don't know that the companion is like a tiger. Now sandwiched between a moody emperor and a strong-handed empress, there is no good fruit to eat if you offend either one.

Emperor Shengzhao originally wanted to reprimand him. The slave who didn't see it, he was angry and said these things. But when he thought about it, he was angry with himself this morning, and the officials below must not be very happy, so he was estranged from his monarchs and ministers, so it was better to push the boat with the water. The combination of grace and power is also the strategy of the emperor.

Zhao Hai had been waiting for Emperor Shengzhao to speak, and the most difficult thing was the invisible imperial pressure. It didn't take long for him to feel cold sweat, and even his clothes were clinging to his back.

Just when he thought that Emperor Shengzhao would be angry, he heard him say lightly: "That is the case, you go and invite those adults just now, and we monarchs and ministers will enjoy the flowers together." ”

Zhao Hai's eyes almost didn't fall. Did you hear me right? The emperor, who was still angry in the court just now, actually wants to invite hundreds of officials to enjoy the flowers? But the tone is not joyful, they all say that women's hearts, undersea needles, it seems that the emperor's mind is more difficult to guess than those undersea needles.

However, in the end, it was the person who often accompanied Emperor Shengzhao, even if Zhao Hai felt unreasonable in his heart, the work under his feet was not ambiguous at all, and he quickly arranged it.

After Emperor Shengzhao left the Yuanhe Palace, the ministers stood up one after another and rubbed their knees. Yuanhedian, who was quiet just now, could even hear a needle dropping, seemed to have exploded at this moment, but after all, they were all veterans on the field, and after a few words of yin and yang, they went to the palace in twos and threes.

Although they are all dignified, they are not as depressed as before, after all, at least there will not be a knife hanging over their heads today.

Most of them had already arrived at the palace gate, and a few had already hurried into the carriage. The coachman was about to drive, but he heard a little eunuch calling loudly, saying that His Majesty had invited everyone to go to the queen's flower banquet. The officials looked at each other, not knowing what the saint was thinking, so they had to follow the little eunuch back to the imperial garden.

At the same time, he received the invitation, as well as the king of the sea viewing hall.

It's just that this post was made by the queen.

"So, what we really invite you to see today is a flower tree that I got the day before yesterday. ”

As soon as the queen said this, everyone was talking about it, curious about what kind of rare thing it was.

Looking at the curious eyes of everyone, the mother of a country smiled and showed a smug smile, calling people to carry the flower tree out.

The tree was barried behind a huge black cloth.

Everyone only saw the trunk of the baby's calf, but did not see its branches, and they were very curious about what kind of medicine the queen was selling in her bones, but they did not dare to ask each other, so they could only whisper and talk underneath.

Mama Qi lay in the queen's ear, I don't know what to say, the smile on the queen's face became brighter and brighter, and when she looked in a certain direction, she saw the group of people with shadows and shadows, and greeted her with a smile. When the people looked in that direction, they saw the emperor and his father or husband. It's just that I don't understand why they have a strict complexion.

"Your Majesty!" Empress Yin Yin came up, about to salute, the emperor smiled at her, "No need to be polite", helped the queen to get up, Deng Zhaoyun took Emperor Shengzhao's arm, and the two walked towards this side together, like a loving and sweet look.

The women looked at it with envy.

It's just that the emperor is so gentle, but he is far from the stern and fierce king of a country in the Yuanhe Palace.

Concubine Zhen followed the queen and also saluted, but Emperor Shengzhao only smiled at her faintly, and walked forward with the queen with a sentence of "love concubine is exempt".

On such an occasion today, the queen is destined to be the protagonist, that is, Emperor Shengzhao, and she has to sell her a little face, how can a concubine be jealous today? Therefore, Concubine Zhen can only pull a smiling face, and follow the emperor and queen, showing her virtue and gentleness.

Everyone paid homage to the emperor again, and the protagonist arrived at the flower tree.

Emperor Sheng Zhao looked at the blocked tree curiously, and said curiously: "Empress, what's behind this?"

"Your Majesty is a little restless, and the concubine will order someone to take the curtain away. As he spoke, he glanced at the little eunuch on the side, and when the eunuch saw this, he tore down the curtain in front of the tree.

The moment the curtain was removed, there was a gust of wind, and everyone felt that the eyes were pink and white, and the petals rolled up by the breeze were like pink white clouds floating in front of them. If you look closely, the flowers and rain are blooming, showing clusters of pink hanging strips, and the slender branches adorned with flowers are like heavenly maidens scattering flowers from the canopy into an umbrella shape, spreading out like tassels in the hair, floating left and right in the spring breeze.

Everyone was stunned for a while, and they were all stunned and didn't know how to speak, only to hear Emperor Shengzhao laugh and say: "Yanran wants to laugh at the east wall, and the end of the covenant is better than Begonia." The color is not bad and powdery, and the wind god is partial to Qiluo incense. The garden is full of pictures, and the silk tube takes advantage of the sun. The strange bottom has been drunk lately, and it is difficult for a teenager to go crazy! Very good! Very good!" (2)

As soon as the emperor's words came out, everyone came back to their senses, and sighed that the flowers and shadows in front of them overlapped, which was very graceful, and they didn't know who took the lead, and they complimented Emperor Shengzhao one after another.

In the midst of the words, they heard another voice coming, which seemed to be unusually free and easy: "The people in the painting of the maze at the bottom of the tree, Jin Haigu is drunk and drunk." Good scenery and good poetry, Your Majesty is really wonderful!" This voice attracted everyone's attention, and they all moved their eyes from the flower tree to the person from behind. （3）

I saw that the man was holding a fan and laughing, without pretentiousness, and under the gaze of everyone, he generously performed a gentleman's salute to Emperor Shengzhao.

"The prince is also a wonderful person. Emperor Shengzhao also returned the favor.

A gentleman's friend, not a gentleman's enemy.

King Ming smiled heartily, took a few steps forward, approached the flower tree, and said in surprise: "Dare to ask Your Majesty, this is the famous rain branch weeping cherry?"

The emperor was silent, just looked at the empress. The queen understood, only to know that she didn't know this tree when she wanted to come to the king, so she nodded to the king of Ming: "His Royal Highness the king of Ming has good eyesight, this tree is indeed a weeping cherry tree with rain branches." ”

In those eyes, there was pride and pride.

(1) It is often said in the play: The courtiers leak five colders. The fifth watch day is equivalent to 5 o'clock to 7 o'clock in the morning, that is, the beginning of the morning to the beginning of the morning. For evidence, the time of the previous dynasty of the Qing Dynasty is borrowed here, and most of the successive emperors of the Qing Dynasty were more diligent, and the time of the early dynasty was like this. Here, in order to make the time fit, it is slightly adjusted, and it is said that it is the right time to go to court.
