The next day, Chrysanthemum finally woke up, and the pain and discomfort in her body made her feel as if she had been dismantled and put back again, especially her two legs, which were so painful that she couldn't lift them.

Although Chrysanthemum was simple, she was not stupid, vaguely, she felt that something must have happened to her, and when she saw the bruises on her body when she took a bath, this thought was even more certain.

Oh my God, what's going on? Could it be that she has lost her virginity? Not clean?

The thought frightened her, and she locked herself in her room, thinking about what had happened yesterday over and over again.

At that time, she was sitting alone in the private room of the restaurant, eating and drinking while waiting for Xiaokui to come back, eating, eating, it seemed that she heard Liu Xi come to her next door to talk about business, and then she didn't know anything, and when she woke up again, the person was already at home, and it was already the next day.

I heard my mother say that she was sent back by Liu Xi in the middle of the night at the third watch, it is said that she drank too much and ran to his cafeteria, drank a lot of wine, and was sent back by him after Lingding was drunk, but she didn't remember it at all.

Is what Liu Xi said true? If so, where did the marks and pain on her come from? If it wasn't true, why did he lie, what really happened between the time she was in a coma and when she was sent home?

Although I want to know, but after all, she is a daughter's family, and some words are really unspeakable, so she has to hold back her heart full of thoughts, so she thinks about it day and night, tosses and turns, and in less than a month, she actually suffered a serious illness.

This disease is menacing, so that the chrysanthemum, which has always been strong and lively, can't even get out of the house, and it has been raised until the third day of March, when it is slightly better.

According to the usual practice, every year on the third day of March, the queen will hold a grand banquet in the palace, and invite the children of hundreds of officials in the court to participate.

This year's Shangsi Festival is particularly lively, those princes have returned, and many envoys from other countries have also come to join in the fun. Because after March 3, March 15 is the Wanshou Festival, Nangong Yi didn't care about the Wanshou Festival in previous years, but this year he didn't give an edict early, indicating that this year's Wanshou Festival should be bigger, so that the vassal kings and courtiers from all over the country will go to Beijing to celebrate their birthdays and report on their work by the way.

Therefore, there are more young men and women on this year's Shangsi Festival than in previous years, and the young ladies all want to shine at the Shangsi Festival and recruit a golden beetle son-in-law to go back, and the young people of the nobility also polish their eyes, staring at those versatile and noble young ladies and constantly inquiring.

Cai Wei sat in the waterfront pavilion, looking at the performances of the ladies on the stage made of painting boats in the lake with a smile, and commented by the way, Concubine Yao and Concubine Huo sat on both sides of her, talking and laughing from time to time.

This time the vassal king entered Beijing, Concubine Huo and her son King Jing also returned, a few years have passed in a blink of an eye, the former Concubine Huo Xian is already the queen mother of the country, King Jing's fief is fertile, the people are rich, Concubine Huo Xian is pampered all day long, and there is no need to live a cautious life in the palace like before.

After several years of recuperation, she is much more fruitful than before, her face is a little more peaceful and graceful, and King Jing has faded from his original childishness and has become a heroic young man.

Concubine Yao had nothing to do, she originally recorded Chaoyue in her name, but unfortunately Chaoyue was killed, and she didn't have any thoughts, only enjoying flowers with those old sisters in the harem every day, listening to plays, occasionally fighting cards, drinking, and living a very comfortable life.

Duchess Liguo and other Mrs. Yipin sat at the hands of the three maidens, opposite several princesses, princesses, and little princes, including the princess Chaoyun of the little prince of Mengnu, the eldest princess of Zhaohua born by a talented person of the emperor, the pearl princess born to the current queen mother and the eldest prince Nangong Jin, the second prince Nangong Yu, etc.

Taifu Siqing Mu Zhongqing's wife Du Shi is also there, and now Mu Zhongqing has been promoted to Taifu Siqing from the third grade, and Du Shi has also become Mrs. Sanpin, although the status is slightly lower than that of those present, but because of Caiwei's relationship, everyone present treats her politely, and no one dares to show any disrespect to her.

Fei'er is also there, as the general's wife, she has been pregnant for more than three months, and as a first-time mother, she can't see that she is a mother at all, and she is beautiful like a girl who has not left the cabinet, and she is even better looking than all the daughters who came to attend the Shangshi Festival banquet today.

Fei'er is getting more and more beautiful, which is a good thing, but it makes her mother-in-law Wu worried. Because there has always been a saying among the people, it is said that if a pregnant woman becomes ugly during pregnancy, she will be pregnant with a boy; If they become beautiful, they will be pregnant with a girl, although they already have a grandson at home, but compared to their court, one grandson is too little.

Therefore, she desperately hoped that Fei'er could give birth to a big fat grandson for her, and she could see her daughter-in-law's face becoming more and more beautiful day by day, and her and her husband's hearts suddenly sprung up again, and they felt more and more bottomless.

Fei'er didn't care if she was pregnant with a boy or a girl, she felt that as long as it was her own child, no matter whether it was a boy or a girl, she liked it all the same.

Mo Ziqi also looks at it this way, although he must have a son to inherit the family business, but he is still young and will have many children in the future, so it really doesn't matter if the first is a man or a woman.

On the painting boat, the emperor's half-brother King Chu is performing a blow job, the sound of the flute is melodious, tactful and reverberatory, which makes people feel intoxicated.

The king of Chu was a heroic and proud man, and many nobles in the capital fell in love with him. It's a pity that he was framed by Concubine Jin for the crime of witchcraft curse many years ago, and together with his mother, he was imprisoned by the Emperor Taishang for seven years.

Seven years of time, smoothed out all his edges and corners, let him from a young man with lofty ambitions to a timid and cowardly, mediocre man, he once stood firmly in Nangong Yi for a while, and even secretly handed an olive branch to Jin Guifei and his party when he was imprisoned, but unfortunately Jin Guifei did not appreciate it and ignored him.

Nangong Yi didn't know these things, but because he didn't study them deeply because of his childhood feelings, he released him after ascending the throne, gave him a mansion and raised him, and made him a carefree prince who didn't care about the world.

Cai Wei has already made an order to let the king of Chu marry the lord of Jingyang County of Qingluo Kingdom, the king of Chu naturally obeys the order, the lord of Jingyang County loves this Wanyan Jingchen wholeheartedly, but the love for many years has no result, I heard that my aunt asked her to marry the younger brother of His Majesty Nangong Xià and be a serious princess of Chu, she was tempted.

First, she is getting older and older, and she is about to become an old girl, in Qingluo country, the reputation of the old girl is very unpleasant, she doesn't want to be pointed at; Second, after several years of temptation and seduction, Cousin Jingchen didn't have any thoughts about her, and she couldn't see any hope when she climbed him, so she gradually became discouraged; Three, Nangong Majesty's appearance she has seen, such a man with a dragon chapter and phoenix posture is much more handsome than her cousin Jingchen, and his younger brother is not expected to be bad, so, after thinking about it a few times, she finally agreed.

Mrs. Wu was very happy to see that she had finally sent this annoying Jingyang County Lord away, and now, finally no one was seducing her son-in-law under her nose, and her daughter didn't have to worry about this kraft candy Jingyang County Lord anymore.

Their marriage was scheduled for the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15, and the king of Chu had already sent the dowry to the Qingluo Kingdom, which is said to have begun to prepare the dowry....

"Okay—"

After the king of Chu finished playing, Cai Wei applauded, and everyone else also applauded.

"Spring and autumn, reward-"

Cai Wei glanced behind her, and Chunqiu hurriedly stepped forward with a set of four treasures of the study room and rewarded it to the king of Chu.

The king of Chu took this set of four treasures of the study, and knelt on the ground with great difficulty, he was obese, and it was very difficult to kneel on his huge belly, and it was even more difficult when he kowtowed, so tired that he knelt down for a long time before kneeling down, and kowtowed to Cai Wei to thank him.

The next performance is Mo Shuya, the eldest lady of the Liguo Mansion, Shu Ya is a cheerful character, compared with Chrysanthemum Xiangyun, but because of her too noble background, the family has very strict requirements for her, and she is not allowed to travel around all day like a chrysanthemum, forcing her to learn the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting that everyone should learn.

At this moment, she was sitting elegantly on the stage, plucking the strings, and with the plucking of her fingers, strings of beautiful notes rippled out with her wide sleeves, making Wen Yi fascinated.

Cai Wei smiled: "In the past two years, Shu Ya has become more and more handsome, I really don't know what kind of man can be worthy of her?" ”

In fact, the reason why Cai Wei said this is because she can't give Mo Shuya a marriage, it stands to reason that with Mo Shuya's background, countless matchmakers have come to ask for marriage, but Mo Shuya has not decided on the family matter yet, not that no one has come to propose marriage, but that she is too capable of doing it herself.

Don't look at her usual hippie smile coaxing the elders to be happy, but who wants to mention marrying her, she will cry endlessly, and at worst she will cut off the water, forcing each other to die, and make up her mind not to marry, so many times, the old lady and Mo Yuanshan and his wife don't know what to do, and finally discussed, and decided to let the queen mother be the master of the marriage, the queen mother will give marriage, and she will not find that kind of unbearable family if she wants to come, and the most important thing is that the mother will marry, and this little girl will not dare to do it.

The old lady also made this calculation, but she didn't think about it, and the queen refused to point her out.

After hearing Cai Wei's words, the old lady smiled dryly: "Niangniang is in love, Shu Ya's child is the first child in the family's grandchildren, it is inevitable that she will be arrogant by the elders, and her temperament is not too good, so we mean not to ask her to marry into the Gaomen Mansion, just to marry a child with a peaceful temperament, born in a scholarly family, and an upright person." ”

Hearing that the old lady explained to her the criteria for choosing a grandson-in-law, Cai Wei had no choice but to reluctantly nod and said, "This palace knows, and it will definitely pay attention to Ya'er." ”

When the old lady heard this, she was satisfied, Ya'er, the worried Nizi, has the queen mother in charge, so she is not afraid that she is a demon

After Mo Shuya finished playing, Cai Wei's younger brother Mu Chongwen came to the stage to perform a sword dance for everyone, now Wen'er, is already a twelve-year-old beautiful boy, these years, he has been following the wind and month by month to practice martial arts, because he is smart and diligent, and can endure hardships, so the swordsmanship has been practiced very sophisticated, when dancing, the clouds and water, each move has dozens of changes, once derived, the changes are extremely complicated. If you change to someone else, even if you are not dizzy, you will be fascinated by this kaleidoscope of swordsmanship, and you will be at a loss, but the Dugu Nine Swords that Wu'er has learned have no tricks at all. If there is only one enemy move, he only has one move, and the enemy has a thousand moves, and he also has a thousand moves.

After the dance, he held his sword and saluted the audience with his fists, and the audience immediately applauded like thunder, and the praise was endless.

Seeing his son's long face, Du Shi felt that there was light on his face, and his mouth couldn't close, Cai Wei nodded and smiled: "Fortunately, I finally lived up to the hopes of His Majesty and me..." ”

In the evening, the Shangsi Festival banquet had already dispersed, and the three buns also fell asleep one after another.

Nangong Yi came back from the imperial study and said to Cai Wei: "Wei'er, accompany me for a few drinks." He was obviously in a very good mood, and there was a little smile in his eyes, but he didn't know why he was so happy.

"Good!" Cai Wei smiled slightly, although today's Shangshi Festival banquet was already very tired, but it was rare for a man to have such a Yaxing, she didn't want him to be disappointed, so she nodded lightly. Ordered people to set up tables and chairs in the courtyard, lined up melons and fruit snacks, arranged a few side dishes, colorful dragon and phoenix pattern holding pots, and a pair of dragon and phoenix pattern colorful wine glasses.

The palace lamps were hung high, and the soft light sprinkled into the courtyard of Shouxian Palace, with a hint of coldness in the softness.

Nangong Yi beckoned, and Chunying and Chunli walked up with their clothes in their hands.

He personally unfolded a light gold printed shawl with a relatively wide banner and put it on Cai Wei, and then waved his hand to let the palace people go down.

"Don't take care of me all the time, but also pay attention to your body." Cai Wei wrapped the shawl around her body, stood up, unfolded his pale white embroidered golden dragon cloak, and draped it for him. At this time, the temperature difference is very large, and it is very cold at night.

Nangong Yi said with a smile: "It's okay, this wine has been warmed, and after drinking it, it will be hot." Despite this, he did not remove his cloak.

The man asked his subordinates to step down, personally poured a glass of wine for each of them, raised his glass, and said to Cai Wei: "Wei'er, I want to toast you, if it weren't for you, I and my people would not have turned around so quickly in the earthquake event." ”

After saying that, he drank it all.

Cai Wei also raised her wine glass, took a sip, and said, "It's all from last year, what are you still mentioning him for?" At present, the drought is coming, so that the people can plant corn extensively, potatoes, pumpkins and sweet potatoes are important, and it is also important to store grain. ”

Nangong Yi said again: "I want to tell you that this matter is related to the grain tun, you have asked me to send people to various countries to do business, in exchange for food, I sent the eunuch Cao Jinpeng of the palm seal of the internal official eunuch to Xianbei country, today I received a side report that Cao Jinpeng has exchanged more than one million stone of grain in Xianbei, and is escorting to our Dajin." ”

Cao Jinpeng was one of the eunuchs who grew up with Nangong Yi at the beginning, and he once went to school in the inner study.

The internal officials and eunuchs also had great rights at the beginning, only under the celebrant supervisor, the most important thing was to manage the palace people, specifically in charge, wood, stone, tile, earth, building materials, east, west, paint, weddings, etc., gunpowder system, and rice salt warehouse, construction warehouse, imperial altar warehouse, where the country built palaces, mausoleums, and copper and tin makeup, utensils and ice kilns, which is equivalent to the Ministry of Engineering of the outer court.

Why did he send Cao Jinpeng, in addition to Nangong Yi's trust in him, but also because he has an excellent character, is smart, quick thinking, extremely knowledgeable, and is more familiar with the geography, history, culture, and religion of various countries, and his body is also extremely strong, so he is the most suitable candidate.

When Cai Wei heard this, she was also extremely happy, and couldn't help laughing: "This is really a good thing worth celebrating, then I will congratulate Your Majesty first, for this more than one million stones of food, I will give Your Majesty a cup." ”

After speaking, he drank all the wine in the cup.

Until now, the amount of wine has not been much larger than before, a glass of wine, the cheeks suddenly turned red, and the chill of the spring breeze was also dispelled a little, as if a hot breath spread from the abdomen, scattered to the limbs, and the whole person felt a lot warmer.

The body was warm, but Cai Wei suddenly felt that her eyes were sour.

In the past few months, how hard Nangong Yi has worked and how hard she has worked, she has seen it in her eyes and hurt in her heart.

In front of people, he never showed the slightest tiredness, let alone a similar worry and impatience, and handled government affairs in an orderly manner every day, in the eyes of outsiders, he was always a wise pearl in his hands, an unfathomable emperor.

But Cai Wei knew that he must be very anxious and even under great pressure. He will only show his tired and even fragile side in front of her. Whenever this happens, Cai Wei doesn't need to do anything, just accompany him quietly.

On the second day, he will be in good spirits again.

But recently, Cai Wei obviously felt that Nangong Yi was a lot more relaxed, and the smile on her face increased, because everything was developing in the best direction.

Both of them drank a lot of alcohol that night. Nangong Yi has always had self-control, and he has never been greedy for drinks, but this time, he is one cup after another. Cai Wei didn't stop him, he ascended the throne for three years, there was such a large-scale earthquake, and two years later there will be a major drought, someone will definitely take advantage of this to make a big fuss and spread rumors.

In the face of difficulties, he needs to fight hard, and he also needs to vent his feelings.

The emperor is also a man, not a god.

It wasn't until he finally got a little drunk that Cai Wei stopped him, asked him to prepare a sobering soup, washed up, and served him to bed.

Ten days later, Hallomy arrived. Nangong Yi held a birthday banquet in the Shuntian Palace, and hundreds of civil and military officials, foreign envoys, relatives of the emperor, and several princes and princesses were all present. Cai Wei sat next to Nangong Yi and accepted everyone's worship with him.

Jin'er, Yu'er and Mingzhu sat with several imperial uncles and eldest princesses.

Everyone knelt three times and bowed nine times, and after reading the birthday message, it was time to celebrate the birthday and send a gift.

First of all, the two princes and Princess Mingzhu gave gifts to Nangong Yi, and then the king of Fan, the eldest princess, as well as civil and military officials, royal relatives, and foreign envoys.

Jin'er and Yu'er gave Nangong Yi the flower wine made by their brothers, although Cai Wei served as a guide on the side, but the brothers did not let Cai Wei help at all from picking flowers to fetching water, it can be said that this jar of wine was completely completed by the little brothers, which is very commemorative.

Nangong Yi opened up the face-saving person, poured a cup, and drank it all.

Mingzhu sent a cartoon painting drawn by her, painting five people leaning together affectionately, the big two are her father and queen mother, and the younger three are their brothers and sisters.

The gifts given by other people are all rare treasures, some are rare books, some are Buddha statues, some are poems, calligraphy and paintings made by themselves, no matter what gifts are given, Nangong Yi accepted them with his head and encouraged everyone a few words.

Only the gift given by Miao Jiang, Nangong Yi didn't even look at it, and directly rewarded it to Huang Youshan, the waiter of the Ministry of Works.

The birthday gift given by Miao Jiang is two beauties who can sing and dance, and it is said that one has a natural fragrance on his body, which makes people smell intoxicated, and his name is called Xiangxiang; The other is good at music and rhythm, and has the ability to go around the beam for three days, named Piaopiao.

However, Nangong Yi had no interest in the beauties they sent, and it happened that the waiter of the Ministry of Works had recently died of his wife, so he borrowed flowers to offer Buddha to send those two delicate beauties out.

After three rounds of drinking, Nangong Yi suddenly stood up and said loudly to everyone: "Today, I have an important matter to announce to you. ”
