Chapter 16: The Taste of Calculation
Today's early dynasty is destined to be extraordinary.
Empress Dowager Hirohito sat next to the dragon chair as before, with exquisite makeup and dignified demeanor, the difference was that the position at the top of the hundred officials was vacant, and there was no Ming scholar.
After accepting the worship of the civil and military officials, Ying Suhan faced the ministers in the hall with a cold face.
Ying Su ascended the throne at the age of twelve, and sat on the dragon chair for a long time, but he really said very little. Now the ministers are standing below in an orderly manner, and he, as a superior person, overlooks a qiē in the main hall, and his heart is like a fire burning oil, although it is hot, it is still calm.
"Your Majesty, the minister has this music!" Ying Fei opened his mouth unhurriedly, and walked out of a column of courtiers and saluted Ying Su.
"Hmm." Ying Su responded lightly, and the eyes of the two brothers met in the air, and flashed at the same time.
"The secret report of Funing County in Ming County was withheld by the minister." Ying Fei only said the beginning, as for the rest of the content, since it is a secret report, it depends on the emperor's meaning.
"Say it." Ying Su opened his mouth lightly, this was discussed by the two of them last night.
"Yes." As soon as Ying Fei spoke, King Xian glanced back at him, with a worried look in his eyes.
Yingfei only did not see it, and said in his heart: Your old man is still worried about himself, the one sitting above is the first one who is going to push you into the fire pit!
"The secret report said that a corpse was fished out in the river in Funing, and it was found that it was a university scholar Mingcheng!" The voice of Ying Fei was not loud, but the Manchao was shocked!
In the extremely quiet hall, almost all of the people showed an incredible expression, and everyone closed their mouths with great restraint and did not make a sound.
At this time, everything is unclear, and everything that is said may be wrong.
"Yingfei, what did you say?" The voice of the Empress Dowager Hirohito sounded in the main hall, which was particularly abrupt.
"Back to the Queen Mother, the minister said: University scholar Mingcheng committed suicide by throwing himself into the river in Funing County." Ying Fei looked ahead, and suddenly felt a little distressed about Ying Sulai, seeing that the drama of the mother and son fighting was about to be staged, and for the two on this stage, it is estimated that no one can stand it!
"Your Majesty, what the hell is going on?!" Empress Dowager Hirohito was stunned for a moment, stood up with both hands on the armrest of the chair, she staggered to Win Su, and said with trembling lips.
"Why didn't the queen mother ask Mingcheng?" Ying Su tilted his head sideways, and spoke in a light and fluttering tone, without a trace of warmth.
"Didn't he say that the elder brother of the mourning family died......" a dead word was spoken, and the Empress Dowager Hirohito's eyes were filled with tears. Her eyes looked at Ying Su, but her hand pointed to Ying Fei standing in the main hall.
"Yes, the queen mother also heard that Mingcheng was dead, as for why he ran to Funing to throw himself into the river, how do I know?"
Ying Su looked at the tears in his mother's eyes, and his heart was also sad, in the past, he had Gu poison attacks and died several times, but he only saw irritability and impatience in the eyes of the woman who gave birth to her, and there was not a single tear of distress.
"He is your uncle, the elder brother of the mourning family! How can you still say it so lightly? A line of tears could not hold back any longer, falling down her cheeks, a water mark slipped on the face of the Empress Dowager Hirohito, her brother is gone, her backer has fallen, and the years to come are so long, who else can she rely on?
"The Queen Mother." Ying Su leaned over her and asked softly, "Who am I?" ”
"......" didn't wait for the sadness to come, the Empress Dowager Hirohito was stunned, she looked at Ying Su, this was probably the first time she looked at her son so seriously, but the more carefully she looked at him, the more she felt that the young man sitting on the dragon chair was unfamiliar!
"Are you ......" Empress Dowager Hirohito was in a bit of a trance, she muttered to herself.
"Huh!" Finally, Ying Su's face turned white and his eyes red.
"Help the Queen Mother go down." He blinked vigorously, forced himself to endure the wetness that had just come up, and then waved his hand.
"Mother, please!"
Wang Zhi stepped up the steps and stood in front of the Empress Dowager Hirohito, separating the wide-eyed mother and son.
Empress Dowager Hirohito was excited, and her body was chilled.
She looked at Wang Zhicai and was interrupted by the eunuch who lowered his head: "Queen Mother, let the old slave accompany you back to Yongning Palace, here Your Majesty will discuss the government." ”
This is the former dynasty, the place where the emperor and ministers of the Zhao Dynasty discussed the major affairs of the world, and you, just a woman in the harem, should only stay where you should be! This is the meaning of Wang's words.
Empress Dowager Hirohito shook off Wang Zhi's hand holding her arm and walked down the imperial steps, and suddenly she turned around and whispered: "Your Majesty, is it okay to let Xiangjun accompany the mourning family?" ”
Ying Su replied expressionlessly: "She will only make my mother unhappy in the palace, and if my mother is unhappy, I will not be happy." ”
"Huh! You're just like your father! Empress Dowager Hirohito sneered after listening to her son's spineless words, went down the steps with her chin up, and walked directly to the back of the palace, and since then, she has never taken a step up the golden palace!
……
At night, Yingsu's carriage quietly drove into Xixiang Village.
When he got out of the carriage and walked into the small courtyard, Yue Xi was sitting at the stone table in the courtyard with his head down and eating noodles.
"I'm back." She looked up from the bowl of the sea and stared at Ying Su approaching her, still chewing a mouthful of noodles in her mouth!
Ying Su leaned over to look at her, only to see her belly bulging, cheeks bulging, and a pair of eyes turning around on her, looking quite funny. He wanted to laugh......
Yue Xi only glanced at Shang Yingsu's suspicious smile of unknown significance, and still lowered his head and took a sip of soup before asking, "Are you hungry?" ”
This day can be said to be the first day of Yingsu's true pro-government. The entire court was full of all kinds of vague wait-and-see atmosphere, which made him very unhappy! After a day in such an atmosphere, I had no appetite, but I could face my mother
has an appetite, but in the face of the lady's heartless question, he actually said in a ghostly manner: "Hungry." ”
"There are still noodles in the kitchen, I made egg noodles and rolled out two pieces of noodles, wait, I'll cook them for you!" Yue Xi got up, walked out slowly with the big sea bowl, and followed with Ying Su's tail.
"How nice it is for you to sit in the yard, it's hot in the kitchen." As soon as Yingsu returned to Xixiang Village, the entire house would automatically avoid, so the two of them walked from the backyard to the kitchen, and they didn't see anyone!
"Do I want to accompany my lady......" Ying Su said with a smile.
"Then you should light the fire." As soon as he heard him say this, Yue Xi also responded very realistically.
"......" June day, the kitchen was already hotter than outside, and the emperor of the Zhao Dynasty sat on a small bench with a smile because of Yue Xi's words and began to light the fire. His mood at the moment is also as hot as the fire in the stove: the lady is still willing to let me burn the fire, does this mean that she is not annoyed with me?
The noodles are ready-made, and there is a pot of chicken soup that is hanging, Yue Xi only washed a few green vegetables, adjusted the taste, and it didn't take much effort to put the same big bowl of hot noodle soup on the table, the clear soup and vegetables, and a few drops of sesame oil were poured on it, steaming, and it looked quite appetizing.
"Are you going back to the yard to eat or are you just eating here?" Yue Xi poured water into the pot and asked as he brushed the pot.
Ying Su saw that she was still busy and said, "Let's eat here, save the trouble of serving and going." ”
"Well, let's eat it here." Yue Xi took a pair of chopsticks from the cupboard and gave them to him, and walked out himself.
"Lady?" Ying Su thought that she would accompany her to finish eating this bowl of noodles, but she didn't expect her to walk out without even brushing the pot.
"You eat first, it's too hot in this house, I'll take a shower." Yue Xi said outside the kitchen door.
"......" In the stuffy kitchen, Ying Su guarded a steaming iron pot and had a headache in front of a bowl of hot noodle soup!
"Let's eat it......" He made up his mind, picking up a few noodles with his chopsticks and carefully serving them into his mouth, sweating on his head immediately......
In June, it was the hot time of the summer, a large bowl of noodles went down to the stomach, and the hot sweat on Ying Su's head was not broken, and when he finally put down his chopsticks and walked out of the kitchen door, he only felt that the hot air blowing outside was extremely comfortable, and at this time his body was like washing, sweat not only soaked his underwear, but also soaked his pants......
"Wow! Are you eating noodles or playing with your life......" Yue Xi, who took a bath and fanned the fan in the yard to take a cool, saw that Ying Su quickly got up and entered the house as if he had been fished out of the water, and brought him a new set of clothes: "Take a bath, and there is hot water......
The body was so hot and sweaty that when Ying Su took a shower and came out of the bathtub, he felt weak, his legs were weak, as if he had lost his strength from practice, and he was very tired.
When he returned to the small courtyard, Yue Xi had already gone to bed, and was holding a book and looking at it with or without a match, as if he was waiting for Ying Su to go to bed together.
There was silence inside and outside the house, with gauze curtains hanging on the doors and windows, and occasionally the wind blew in, but it was refreshing and peaceful.
Put the cloth towel in his hand on the back of the chair, Yingsu slippers went to bed, scooped the lady into his arms and let her lean on herself, only to feel that although she was tired, she was very down-to-earth in her heart.
Crossing Yue Xi's shoulder, he looked at the book in her hand from behind her, and snatched it after only a few glances: "Why does the lady still watch "Crazy Woman Turn", and she is not afraid of teaching the child badly!" ”
Yue Xi didn't have the book in his hand, and he didn't bother with him, so he lay down and said with a hum: "If you don't read it, don't read it, I'm about to memorize it anyway......"
"......" Ying Su shook his head, turned around and blew out the oil lamp at the head of the bed, and also lay sideways beside Yue Xi, thinking carefully about the words and deeds of the ministers in the Golden Palace today, thinking about it, and suddenly remembered to talk to the lady about the future, so he turned over and got up excitedly, only to speak, but there was a clear sound of Yue Xi's even and long breathing in his ears, it turned out that she had fallen asleep......
Lying down carefully against her back, Ying Su approached Yue Xi, smelling the unique refreshing smell on her body, and after a while, she also felt sleepy: the lady is asleep, and she should find kung fu to talk to her again......
"Hot ......" Yue Xi pushed him away with her hand, and she herself squeezed into the bed again.
"Hot?" Ying Su didn't let her go, and posted it again: "The lady also feels hot, and she made hot noodle soup and ate it that night......"
"Hot noodle soup is made for you." In the dark night, Yue Xi closed his eyes and bared his teeth: "I eat cold noodles." ”
"Huh?" Ying Su was stunned, and faintly felt that he was calculated by the lady...... I feel really uncomfortable......
