After lunch, Hang Yang said that the carriage was ready, Yu Mingzhi and Qin Ji went to change their clothes, and then went out into the palace to thank him.

The people on the street were still talking about the pomp and circumstance of yesterday's Qin Sheren's marriage. Today's emperor's daughter is still young, not yet at the age of marriage, several sisters were married ten years ago, and the people in Beijing have not seen such a grand occasion for a long time.

Yu Mingzhi was through the curtain and heard the voices of the people in the open-air tea house outside.

"Look at the red envelope I got yesterday, look at how much money is in it. ”

"Such a big piece of broken silver?!Let me see if it's real. ”

"How can the silver in Qin Sheren and Guo Dafu's merchants be fake?"

"The pomp and circumstance of the county lord is a little worse than that of the princess, but this grand occasion is also an eye-opener for us. ”

"Yes, I heard that the joyful music is played from the palace, the front is led by the Imperial Forest Army, and the dowry team behind can't see the head, which prince and nobleman can compare?"

"Jealousy makes people red-eyed......

Yu Mingzhi turned around and continued to lean on Qin Ji's arms, "You have to deal with it." ”

Qin Ji hugged her waist tightly, disapproving, "It's okay, I'm still worried that they won't come to me." ”

Yu Mingzhi rubbed his chest.

Qin Ji asked, "Is the marriage satisfactory, Miss Yu?"

"Very satisfied. For her, as long as she marries the man she loves, an ordinary wedding is enough for her to be happy, let alone a big battle like Qin Ji.

She is now the daughter of a criminal minister, which is unimaginable.

But Qin Ji just has the ability. can swaggeringly take her through the crowded streets, so that she can reunite with her mother and sister on the day of marriage.

Qin Ji kissed her forehead.

Yu Mingzhi squinted and smiled, with a sparkling light in his eyes, and raised his hand to rub his face.

Passing through the bustling street market, the carriage stopped in front of the palace gate, and Gonggong Liu was already waiting. Qin Ji jumped out of the car first, asked someone to set up a stool, and then held Yu Mingzhi's hand and carefully helped her out of the car.

Yu Mingzhi said with a smile, Qin Ji's eyes were full of doting.

Gonggong Liu saw it in his eyes. A smile on his face. Greeted him, "The slave maid said hello to the people of Qin She and Mrs. Qin!"

Qin Ji rewarded a red envelope, "Thank you Gonggong Liu." ”

Gonggong Liu accepted the red envelope and said politely. "The emperor and the queen mother invited Qin Sheren and Mrs. Qin to go to the Lotus Heart Terrace. The slave and maid led the way. This side please. ”

"I'm tired of Father-in-law Liu. Qin Ji took Yu Mingzhi's hand and followed behind Gonggong Liu, passed through the long Yongdao and Daodao palace gates, and went to the Lotus Heart Terrace in the Imperial Garden. On the road. They didn't say a word, but the smile in their eyes seemed to contain countless words, and they understood each other's intentions without saying anything.

In the sun, Qin Ji took out a folding fan from his arms, opened it and held it on Yu Mingzhi's head.

Yu Mingzhi moved closer to him so that he could also cover up.

Grandpa Liu occasionally looked back and saw their loving appearance, and couldn't help but smile deeper, sighing in his heart that they were really a match made in heaven.

Built on the water, surrounded by swaying lotus flowers, the lotus fragrance bursts and lingers, and pale pink veils are hung on all sides, in which are mats, two low tables and a table are placed, and delicate plates contain fresh melons, fruits and snacks. The emperor and queen sat idly on the ground, talking and laughing, and there were several painters painting at the desk.

Seeing them coming, the emperor beckoned to save them from saluting, and called him to come along, "Qin Aiqing, Mrs. Qin, come and sit here." ”

Qin Ji and Yu Mingzhi still made a big salute in a proper manner, thanking Sheng Shanglongen.

The emperor said: "It's all like my own family, your marriage is beautiful, I am happy, and my face is bright." No thanks, no thanks, it's steaming outside, come in and sit, and drink a bowl of sour plum soup to cool off. ”

Qin Ji took Yu Mingzhi in with him.

Although there is only a light veil separating it, the pavilion is as cool as a spring day.

It seems that this pavilion may seem simple, but there is something special about it.

The queen looked at Yu Mingzhi, she was wearing a peach-colored wide-sleeved shirt and a blue and white long skirt, her face was as delicate as a flower, beautiful and moving, and her appearance was even more likable, so she smiled even deeper, "Baozhi, come here and sit down, and let the painter draw a picture for you in a while." ”

Yu Mingzhi smiled and sat over, "Queen Mother." ”

The queen held her hand and said with a smile: "I'm really sorry to let you delay in the palace on the second day of the wedding." However, it is rare for this Hongda painter to go back to the capital, and he will go out to visit the mountains and rivers tomorrow, so he can't wait. The emperor respects these painters and literati, so naturally he will not force others to stay. ”

Painter Hong, who was concentrating on painting, smiled, "Thank you for your love." ”

The queen leaned closer to Yu Mingzhi and whispered: "In the past, the emperor didn't like to paint portraits with people, even if he was a favorite concubine, there was no such thing, this is the first time." ”

Yu Mingzhi bowed slightly, "Congratulations to the queen." ”

The queen covered her mouth and smiled, her eyebrows and eyes were full of pride, "No one will have such honor in the future." Zhao Shufei didn't think about it. By the way, did Concubine Zhao and the others really send gifts to you?"

Yu Mingzhi responded, "Turn your head, I'll call someone to do it, exchange it for money, and fund the orphans." ”

The queen clapped her hands, "Baozhi is kind-hearted, this is the most appropriate way to do this." ”

"Thank you, Queen, for the compliment. ”

The queen said: "Last time I told the emperor about it, he didn't say much about Zhao Shangshuling and Fu Changshi, but he must have remembered it all." There will be a good look for them in the future. As she spoke, she snorted coldly, full of disdain and disdain.

Yu Mingzhi followed with a smile and did not talk much.

The emperor poured Qin Ji a glass of wine, accompanied by a luminous glass, which was brilliant and very moving.

"I heard that this was brought back from the Western Regions by Mrs. Qin's mother's family, and it was the first time I drank such a mellow and sweet wine. The Guo family is a talent, and they are very popular with me, why didn't Qin Aiqing ask the Guo family to be in charge of these purchases in the palace earlier. ”

Qin Ji smiled and said, "How can you serve the emperor without being tested by Weichen?"

The emperor nodded. Qin Aiqing bothered. Come, you and I will drink two more glasses today, and I will drink your wedding wine. ”

The two of them raised their glasses and drank bitterly, not at all.

Yu Mingzhi was peeling grapes for the queen mother while secretly observing them.

The two of them looked relaxed and at ease, like a pair of brothers.

She lowered her eyes and ate a grape.

Painter Hong stopped writing, looked at the painting carefully, and then waved his hand, and immediately two palace maids stepped forward. One person holds the other. Send it to the emperor and queen and ask them to look at it.

Yu Mingzhi and Qin Ji also looked over, and the two of them on the drawing paper were lifelike, and the man was handsome and graceful. The dignified elegance of the woman. Charm on display.

In her opinion. The emperor's appearance is even more energetic and radiant than he himself.

Years of drinking and meat life have made the emperor in his prime show his decadence, but as a painter, Mr. Hong obviously will not paint truthfully.

"Very good, very good!" the emperor admired. "Give wine. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Painter Hong took the wine glass, drank it all, and said to Yu Mingzhi and them: "I'm going to paint portraits of Qin Sheren and Mrs. Qin." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Hong. Qin Ji and Yu Mingzhi sat together, not hiding their affection in front of the emperor and queen.

The queen smiled and whispered to the emperor.

The emperor listened, nodded, and looked at the loving newlyweds.

He blinked, and the inexplicable familiarity with Mrs. Qin came back to his heart, as if he had met somewhere before, but he couldn't tell when they had met.

It's just that he didn't want to ask Mrs. Qin because of this.

The queen offered a glass of wine, and he took it, leaving the question behind him.

He remembered another thing, "I'm thinking about going south next spring to play." ”

Qin Ji was slightly surprised, "Go to the south?"

The emperor nodded with interest, "I have read it in books, and they all say that the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is good, which is completely different from ours." You look at the rockery pavilion over there, which is built in imitation of the Jiangnan garden, the more I look at it, the more I want to see what the original scene is like. I can't just sit in this city and not look at the world outside, right? I have even thought about the name, let's go to the south to inspect and inspect to see if those officials are worthy of the court and the court. ”

Qin Ji smiled and said, "The emperor is right. ”

The emperor was very happy, "Since you also agree, mention it tomorrow morning when you go to court." Half a year, you have to prepare a lot of things. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. "Qin Ji owes himself.

Yu Mingzhi has been paying attention to their words, the emperor wants to go out to have fun, which means that silver and gold will be spent like flowing water, and the people will be wasted.

Qin Ji must have thought of this as well, but he agreed with the emperor to do so.

In the preparation of various matters, there will be countless oil and water.

When things are done well, there will also be a reward for being promoted to a knighthood.

Is this what Qin Ji values?

She glanced at her newlywed husband, the affairs of the court, she only wanted King Yi's faction to be destroyed, let her father redress her grievances, and let him go with him.

Anyway, the emperor has tossed the world to this point, what about more excessive things?

Yu Mingzhi took a sip of sour plum soup, and just felt that her waist was a little sore after doing it for a long time, a warm and dry hand covered her waist and back, rubbing it gently, and the feeling of soreness gradually dissipated with her movements, and her whole body was comfortable.

She turned her head sideways and smiled at Qin Ji beside her.

Qin Ji said softly: "After I go home, I'll give you a good press." ”

Yu Mingzhi said, "By the way, can you teach me?" she paused and added, "Honor my mother in the future." ”

Qin Ji responded: "Okay." "What's on her mind, is he still not sure?

At the moment, his heart was as sweet as honey.

On the other side, the emperor took out the map that had been prepared a long time ago, spread it out for Qin Ji to see, and pointed to a few places, "You have to take a look here, not only the scenery, but also the food is first-class." Qin Aiqing, you must be by my side when the time comes, and bring your wife with you. ”

Yu Mingzhi said: "Thank you for the emperor's love." ”

The emperor said: "I heard that Mrs. Qin also stayed in Jiangnan before? ”

It is said to the outside world that Guo Baozhi was found in Jiangnan. Yu Mingzhi glanced at Qin Ji and smiled bitterly.

Qin Ji said lightly: "Your Majesty, Weichen's wife, she will go to Jiangnan because of ......" He looked at the emperor meaningfully and helplessly.

The emperor suddenly remembered, patted his head, and said to Yu Mingzhi apologetically: "I forgot...... I'm really sorry, Mrs. Qin. ”

After the siege was lifted, Yu Mingzhi smiled and shook his head, "The emperor is serious." ”

The queen approached the emperor with a smile and asked in a coquettish voice, "Your Majesty, will you take a concubine with you?"

The emperor clenched her hand, "Of course, you are the mother of a country, of course you want to accompany me to see this great river and mountain." ”

"Your Majesty, you are so good. The queen leaned on the emperor's back, "The concubine thought about who else in the harem could accompany the emperor. ”

"Well, it's up to you to decide. The emperor said: "The queen understands my heart more and more, and I am very relieved to leave it to you." ”

The queen's smug spirit was flying, and when the time came, Concubine Zhao Shufei and a few other little vixens didn't want to have this honor.

The emperor asked Qin Ji to look at the map and discuss the route, as if he could set off tomorrow.

Just when he was in high spirits, a man in armor hurriedly rushed to the lotus heart stage, and whispered a few words to Gonggong Liu with an anxious expression. When Gonggong Liu heard this, his face suddenly turned pale, and he hurried to the veil, "Your Majesty, there is an urgent report!"

His voice was high-pitched, instantly piercing the relaxed atmosphere.

The emperor's hand pointing on the map froze, frowned unhappily, and shouted: "What's the matter, so panicked?!

Gonggong Liu was so frightened that he trembled all over, and said, "There is news from the north, Yan Shilang ...... him."

When Qin Ji heard this, his eyes also became dark.

"What's wrong?" the speech was rambling, which made the emperor even more unhappy.

Gonggong Liu stomped his feet, and was about to cry, "The people in the north have rebelled, and Yan Shilang has been arrested!"

"Dare to Diao Min!" The emperor threw the map out fiercely, right on Gonggong Liu's face, "Call that person in and speak in detail!"

Yan Shilang escaped the poison of King Yi's faction, and went to the north with a large amount of money, grain, and grass to relieve the disaster and appease the victims, which was also to promote the emperor's benevolence. But not only did it not appease the people's grievances, but instead provoked a rebellion? Yu Mingzhi looked at Qin Ji worriedly, his face was a little bad, but it quickly faded away, and he looked at the soldier who delivered the message with a calm expression.

The man knelt down with a "poof", gasped and saluted the emperor, and said with a crying voice: "Your Majesty, Yan Shilang worked hard day and night, comforted the victims, and distributed grain and grass, but those Diao people didn't know who they listened, thinking that the grain and grass were only distributed for three days, and the rest went into the pockets of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, so they gathered together to rebel." They arrested Yan Shilang, saying that they were going to unload him in eight pieces to sacrifice the flag, and then ...... And then ......" he raised his eyes in horror and looked at the few people present, "to the capital......

"Diao Min, Diao Min!" the emperor Huo Ran got up and rushed to the crown angrily, "Little Diao Min actually dares to covet my country! )
