I thought about it for a while, and reluctantly smiled: "It's rare that this time, Taishi and Lord Nangong are so united, and they both ask for troops to be used against Xichuan." ”

Speaking of this, Pei Yuanhao's face darkened a little.

This, of course, is the last thing he wants to see as an emperor, Taishi often says that Bai is an old minister of the Three Dynasties, and his protégés are all over the court and the opposition, and Nangong Jinhong is his favorite concubine Nangong Lizhu's father, and he also has a lot of power in the court and the opposition, if they are combined, it is bound to be a big impact on the imperial power.

Pei Yuanhao sneered: "Yes, it's rare, the two of them will actually work together." ”

"Then, does His Majesty the Emperor have any countermeasures?"

"Their folds, first press in the imperial study, and then drag on for a while."

My brows furrowed deeply, and I said softly, "However, procrastination is not the way to go. ”

Pei Yuanhao's brows furrowed even deeper.

I was silent for a while, then looked at his eyes full of gloom, and said softly: "Has His Majesty the Emperor ever thought about putting this matter in the previous dynasty and handing it over to the courtiers to discuss it?"

Pei Yuanhao shook his head gently: "This won't work." ”

“”

"Can't you guess the outcome of the court meeting?"

I thought about it, indeed, Chang Yanbai and Nangong Jinhong both attacked this time, they must have a certain control over the situation, so they will join forces to attack the emperor, if this matter is really handed over to the courtiers for discussion, as Pei Yuanhao said, the result of the court discussion may be the result we don't want to see.

For a moment, both of them fell silent.

The Qingyin Pavilion is very transparent, but at this time, it is quiet, it is extraordinarily quiet, and even the sound of several of us breathing and heartbeat can almost be heard clearly, just when I was sitting there dullly thinking about countermeasures, Yu Gonggong cautiously walked in from outside, stood at the door and said: "Your Majesty, what should be next?"

Before he could finish his sentence, I hurriedly raised my hand and waved it at him.

When Father-in-law Yu saw me like this, he looked at Pei Yuanhao sitting there, his brows were deeply locked, and he also understood, and hurriedly retreated with his hands in his hands.

It seems that Pei Yuanhao originally had some arrangements today, and wanted to accompany Miaoyan for his birthday, but he was disrupted by the fact that I suddenly raised it now.

As for my original plan to go to Jixian Hall today, it seems that it is no longer feasible.

But

Jixian Palace

I was suddenly stunned, as if I remembered something, raised my head and looked at Pei Yuanhao, he seemed to feel something, looked up at me, and I said tentatively: "If Your Majesty submits that matter to the court, I will not expand the scope of the court." ”

"Expanding the scope of the council"

He raised an eyebrow and looked back at me, "What do you mean?"

"Around His Majesty the Emperor, there are actually some people who dare to speak out, such as the Imperial History, the Zhongshu Provincial Wailang Qi Fang, and the Horse Washing Horse Gao Tianzhang Gao of the Economic Bureau, these people are still in the prime of life, and they dare to give direct advice, if it is a court discussion, these people may be of some use."

Pei Yuanhao thought for a while and said, "However, what they say in the court discussion may not have any weight. ”

"There is no weight, just be reasonable. If the emperor thinks that their words have no weight, it is better to invite a person of weight to come out and lead them to the court meeting. ”

His eyes suddenly flashed, and he looked at me: "You said yes"

I said, "Mr. Fu." ”

He suddenly felt like someone had pierced a hole in the dark clouds above his head, and there was a light shining in his eyes, and his whole face became clear, and he muttered: "Fu Badai Fu Badai"

"Yes, Mr. Fu Da," I said softly: "After all, he is the emperor's canonized Taibao, although he has not been to the court for many years on the grounds of eye disease, but I know that several of the emperor's national policies are from him, and he has overall control over the emperor's new policy. ”

Pei Yuanhao's face was also happy and worried, and after thinking for a while, he slowly said: "It's not that I haven't considered him, but his current situation is really not suitable for him to work anymore." And, since "

At this point, he stopped for a moment.

Of course I understand what he is going to say, since those ancient books in the Jixian Hall were burned, and Liu Qinghan had an accident, Fu Badai's ambition back then seemed to have been put to waste, and now he only records ancient books behind closed doors, if he is allowed to go to the court again, I don't know how to win or lose.

And Pei Yuanhao is unwilling to bet on winning or losing.

I thought about it for a while and said: "From the perspective of the people's daughter, although Mr. Fu Da is old and old, he records books behind closed doors, but it may not be useless, after all, if he really uses troops against Xichuan, he is the most unwilling to see it, so he naturally has to try his best to stop it." Besides, if the Taibao all participate in the court meeting, the emperor might as well let the prince go over and have a look. ”

His eyes were stunned: "Nian Shen"

However, before I could continue, the corners of his mouth certainly flashed with a cold smile: "He, forget it." ”

My brow furrowed.

Speaking of what happened just now, he seems to deserve it, but when it comes to letting Nian Shen go to court, he doesn't seem to be happy, it shouldn't be unhappy, but he has scruples.

What was he afraid of?

I subconsciously looked at him, but this time, he seemed to have solved a big problem, the cold smile on the corner of his mouth slowly warmed, and he looked up at me with a smile: "Light, you, are really my interpretation flower." ”

When I heard this, my face froze.

However, without waiting for me to react, he quickly stood up, moved his hands and feet, and then said with a smile: "That's it, the play is over, we should go back." ”

"Where to go"

"Aren't you hungry?"

"Ahh

I was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously reached out to touch my stomach, but he smiled and picked up the wonderful words next to him, and said: "Even if you are not hungry, our daughter should be hungry, what if my wonderful words are hungry?"

“”

"Let's go, it's time for us to eat something, I have already ordered to go down, let the imperial dining room prepare a table of food in the imperial garden, let's go over and warm up."

As he spoke, he walked out, and I followed behind with a wooden voice, and I couldn't react for a while.

He asked the Imperial Dining Room to put the food in the Imperial Garden

Although it is not snowing heavily, but there is snow everywhere in the end, put things in the imperial garden, I am afraid that before I eat, I will freeze into a few plates of ice trays, and it will be warm and not freeze our stomach and intestines.

I muttered in my heart all the way, but I could only follow him forward, and when I reached the Imperial Garden, I didn't see what he let him eat, but I smelled a fragrance first.

A numb, spicy, and very tempting aroma.

He led us up to the high platform.

This place is still the same as that day, surrounded by thick curtains on all sides, making this place into a warm pavilion, and on the stone table in the center, there is a copper pot, which boils a pot of red soup, and the top is slowly spread with fiery red peppers and peppercorns, which is actually a pot of hot pot.

My eyes widened in shock.

He smiled and said: "I also know that your appetite has not been good recently, and the people in the imperial dining room are not good at making spicy things, so I specially asked them to go to the Sichuan restaurant in the capital to find a few cooks, and selected a few rounds before leaving this, today let him make a pot of this for you to eat, try the dish." ”

I was speechless for a moment, just staring at the boiling pot of red soup in a daze.

He smiled: "What are you doing in a daze, sit down and eat." ”

"Oh."

I sat down slowly, he put the words on the stool next to him, and looked up at me again: "You said before that the words can be spicy."

"Hmm."

"Can she eat this?"

"You can still eat it, but it's better to bring her a bowl of water and eat it again."

"Well, that's what I think."

After speaking, with a wave of his hand, Father-in-law Yu brought up a big bowl of steaming water from below, Pei Yuanhao scooped up a piece of fish from the pot, the fish slices were extremely thin, and boiled in the soup, as smooth and tender as white jade, and because the chef had fish bones in advance, it was effortless to eat, and Miao Yan ate several slices one after another, although she didn't say anything, but I could feel from the speed at which she ate that she liked it.

And when I ate a slice, I also felt that it was spicy and fragrant, which was wonderful.

Thinking about the past, after leaving Shudi, for so many years, except for the previous way into Sichuan and Miaoyan, and Qinghan went to eat hot and sour cold noodles once, it has been a long time since I tasted the taste of the countryside so carefully.

Watching me eat slowly, Pei Yuanhao asked, "How is it?"

I nodded, "Not bad." ”

The smile in his eyes slowly piled up, and he said, "Then eat more, it's cold today." ”

"Hmm."

Next, the three of them feasted here. Although I didn't say much, but because of today's incident, what he asked, I still answered, plus a pot of red soup kept bubbling, and after a while, Father-in-law Yu also brought people in to add soup and tea, but it was also very lively.

It's just that I don't know how many of the ladies in the harem outside saw and how we ate and drank in the imperial garden.

Pei Yuanhao's interest was very high, and after eating, he took me and Miaoyan around, until it was dark, I couldn't bear it, and I couldn't bear it, so I sent us back. When we returned to Jingren Palace, lanterns had been hung everywhere, and the swaying red light made the figures of several of us stagger a little.

When we ate before, Miaoyan and I only cared about eating the things in the pot, and drank tea when we were tired, but he was in high spirits and drank a little wine, and after that, when we were resting and eating refreshments somewhere else, we drank some more.

I don't like dealing with drunks, especially this one in front of me.

So, when I walked to the door of the house, he stood behind him, smelling the faint smell of wine emanating from him, the smell made me frown, stretched out my hand to push the door open, and the cold wind poured in, which also made Su Su and Mama Wu in the room surprised to come out, and when I saw him standing behind me, they immediately knelt down: "Meet the emperor." ”

"Get up."

He said as he walked inside.

My brow furrowed even tighter.

If I want to drive him out, I am not wrong with reason, but if I really want to speak, I am afraid that if I annoy a drunkard, things will not be cleaned up.

I thought about it, and then instructed Su Su: "Go and pour a cup of tea for the emperor's majesty, remember to be stronger, and give your majesty a hangover." ”

He glanced up at me.

I didn't speak, I led Miaoyan to wash my hands, Susu's tea had been served to him, he also picked it up and took a sip, I walked to the door, Yu Gonggong They were still serving outside, I said softly: "Father-in-law, Emperor Xià him"

Father-in-law Yu looked at me and couldn't help but shake his head gently.

Then he said, "Don't worry, girl. ”

“”

"When you go around in the afternoon, the ladies of each palace have been sending people to follow and inquire." After speaking, he came up and whispered, "The concubine's is too." ”

"Oh."

Hearing this, I relaxed a little.

When I returned to the house, Pei Yuanhao had already finished drinking a cup of tea, put the teacup on the table, and then looked up at me.

My footsteps subconsciously froze.

I can't say I'm still afraid of him, and I can't say I'm not afraid of him at all, after all, I'm still in his hands, as long as he's still awake, I won't have much conflict with him, what I'm afraid of is that he's not sober.

But now, I don't know if it's because he's drunk, or because of the red light of the lantern shining behind me, under the eaves.

His eyes, a little red.

That kind of redness, I can't say it, but it makes me a little frightened, even frightened.

I stopped there.

Usually at this time, as soon as I return to the house, it is time to change into the clothes at home and rest, especially today I have eaten something with a strong smell with him, and there are a lot of smells on my body, but now, I don't dare to act rashly, or wear that thick coat, and slowly walk to the other side and sit down.

The earth dragon in the house burned very strongly, and the heat gradually smoked up.

On his forehead, there were beads of sweat.

His gaze flickered a little under the light of the flickering candles on the table, and he only looked at me, as if there was still a little floating smile on his face, and the orange candlelight shone on his face, and the smile was melting, as if the night was not so cold for him.

And I was looking at him like that, and my heart became more and more uneasy.

After being silent for a while, I finally broke the silence first: "Your Majesty, don't you go back to rest?"

He looked at me, his gaze even hotter, "Of course I want to rest." ”

“”

I don't have much to say about that.

But faintly, I heard someone walking slowly outside stepping on the snow, the sound seemed so inaudible in the wind, but I was keenly captured, and suddenly, my heart rose to my throat, and I couldn't wait to look out the window.

At this time, Father-in-law Yu said softly outside: "Your Majesty"
