Chapter XVI: Discernment

"This is what you specially did for the banquet of that Cheng lady?"

The emperor looked at a few dim sum fruits in the food box pushed over by the king of Jin'an and asked with a smile.

"No, I have already eaten what I made for Cheng Niangzi, this is specially made for His Majesty's mothers, and I also got Cheng Niangzi's guidance to make additional and subtracted ingredients, Your Majesty, you can taste it." King Jin'an said with a smile.

The emperor laughed, and looked at the eunuch who tried the food over there after eating, and then reached out and picked up a piece of chopsticks and put it in his mouth.

"Not bad." He praised.

"The minister has retired." King Jin'an said with a smile.

"It's been a few days since I've been out for the first time, so sit a little longer." The Emperor said.

"King Qing is not at ease at home." King Jin'an said with a smile.

The Emperor nodded.

"What did Mrs. Cheng say?" He asked.

"Your Majesty, the sons and daughters did not invite Mrs. Cheng to see a doctor for King Qing." King Jin'an said, knelt down again, and seemed to hesitate.

The Emperor looked at him with a smile on his lips.

"What's that for?" He asked.

"Erchen grew up in the palace since he was a child, and the younger brothers and sisters in the palace are younger than Erchen, and there are very few people of the same age..."King Jin'an thought for a while and said, "When I took King Qing to Jiangzhou to ask her to see a doctor, I didn't hide it from Your Majesty, her attitude was very simple and ruthless....What she said was really hard to hear..."

The emperor smiled slightly, although he didn't know the specific situation at that time, but he personally felt that this lady was stubborn and blunt, and what he wanted to say would not be good.

"At that time, Erchen was almost angry, and he wanted to have people kill her on the spot, and he also put down cruel words." King Jin'an said. "I thought about it later. This is anger in the end. So I've been feeling a little sorry in my heart. ”

"Excuse me?" The Emperor asked with a smile.

“… Yes, Erchen thinks she's a very real person, what is what, Erchen threatened her at the time, she was nothing, and now she apologizes, she still has nothing....I just think, um. This person is very... It's very..."The King of Jin'an said as he didn't seem to know what to say.

The emperor looked at him and smiled even more.

"Very sincere?" He took the conversation and spoke for him.

The king of Jin'an County clapped his hands busily.

"Yes, yes, that's what Your Majesty meant." He said.

The Emperor laughed again.

"You, how did you become me?" He smiled, and looked at the King of Jin'an County with a smile on his face, "Do you think this person is good?" ”

King Jin'an nodded.

"It's good, it's simple, it's easy to get along with." "It's like a child who doesn't know anything about the world, and sometimes it's ridiculous." Sometimes it's hateful. ”

"Girl." The Emperor added with a smile.

"Girls? Erchen didn't pay attention, are girls like this? The sisters I've seen aren't like this. King Jin'an asked with a smile. Erchen thinks she is similar to Sixth Brother. ”

The Emperor smiled and nodded.

"yes, almost." He said with a bit of emotion, "One was stupid before, and the other is stupid now..."

The last sentence he said to himself, almost inaudible, and then picked up a piece of dim sum with chopsticks and ate it.

"Your Majesty eat less." King Jin'an said, "Sweet and greasy look at the accumulated food." ”

The emperor smiled and put down his chopsticks.

"Erchen really retired." The king of Jin'an said, squeezing his eyes at the emperor and kowtowing.

It was nearly evening, the light in the hall was dim, the emperor watched the king of Jin'an slowly withdraw from the palace, his eyes were a little reluctant to take it back, he was stunned for a moment before he lowered his head, saw the food box in front of him, and reached out and picked up the chopsticks.

"Your Majesty." An attendant hurriedly stood up, "Didn't Your Highness say that you can't eat anymore." ”

"Listen to him." The Emperor said.

It was a little scary, but the chamberlain was not afraid.

"Slaves and maids don't listen to the king of the county, slaves and maids listen to Your Majesty." He smiled and said, without hesitation, he took the food box, "Your Majesty, don't blame the king of the county for not sitting with you more, King Qing is an excuse, he is now a clan, and entering the palace at will will be impeached by the imperial history, which is different from being in the palace." ”

"It's only been a few days since you've been in the clan, and you're about to be impeached?" The emperor smiled, disapproving.

Before the words fell, the voice of the waiter came from outside the door.

"Your Majesty, the concubine is here."

The emperor raised his hand, the attendant by the door hurriedly opened the door, and the concubine walked in with a smile.

"Hey, the county king is gone?" She said with some surprise.

The Emperor nodded.

"Why are you leaving? The concubines still want to go to the queen mother and the queen together. The concubine smiled and said, "It's not as good as before, it's so easy to come here, why don't you wait a little longer." ”

Before she could finish her sentence, the Emperor stood up.

"Why isn't it as good as it used to be? Wei Lang, why is it not easy for him to enter the palace? He said slowly.

The concubine didn't expect the emperor to turn his face, and she was a little stunned for a while.

"No, it's not, Your Majesty, the concubine, the concubine just sighed...."She said busily.

"I sigh that he is a clan, and if he enters the palace like before, he will be impeached, right?" The Emperor interrupted her and said coldly, "I'm going to wait and see who has the guts!" ”

With that, he brushed his sleeves and left.

The concubine was ashamed and angry, standing in place and walking, she didn't go, and finally hid her face and left.

"I've been in the palace for thirty years, and Your Majesty hasn't blushed with me."

"In front of so many people, Your Majesty said this about me..."

“… The most wronged thing is that I obviously didn't say anything..."

“… I'm still dead..."

In the palace of the concubine, the palace maids and attendants outside the door all hung their heads, not daring to look inward, only hearing the constant crying inside.

"It's my mother's fault." Gao Lingbo said.

"It's my fault."

The concubine sat up from the couch and shouted.

"What did I say? I was kind enough to go see him, thank him, who knew he stumbled there first! ”

"Mother." Gao Lingbo frowned and said, "It's not that others are too inferior, it's that we are not smart enough." ”

"What do you mean by that?" The concubine shouted angrily. "I knew the boy had bad intentions. In the palace, he spoke sweetly and stumbled King Ping in front of the emperor. Now that I'm out of the palace, I don't know how to converge, and I've intensified! ”

Gao Lingbo shook his head.

"Niangniang, you have to look big, don't catch small." He said, "Now King Qing is good, whether it is the King of Jin'an County, including that Cheng Niangzi." It's all a small thing. ”

"How so? It's a small thing, so what's a big thing? The concubine hurriedly said, "What if King Qing is cured?" ”

"Healed, so what?" Gao Lingbo said, "First, King Ping is older, and secondly, King Qing has been stupid, in recent years, King Ping has been raised as a prince, do you think who will put an older King Ping who has begun to participate in the government and carefully upbringed does not choose, but chooses a foolish King Qing for three years?" Three years, mother! ”

But. What if the prince who was cultivated as a prince was not virtuous?

The chaise's hand on her lap was clenched.

Gao Lingbo looked at her hand and lowered his gaze.

". Thinking too much. He said, "The minister has said before, what a once stupid child said, will anyone believe it?" ”

That's right, the concubine breathed a sigh of relief.

"The most important thing now is to make King Ping stable, I don't want him to be good at learning, as long as he has good conduct, it is enough." Gao Lingbo said, "As for the county king, the better he is, the worse he is, a clan, so dazzling, not necessarily a good thing." ”

The concubine let out a long breath, but when she remembered it, she raised her hand to wipe away her tears.

"So what do I do now? His Majesty was suspicious of me, and he threw my face again, and I couldn't see anyone. She cried.

"Niangniang doesn't have to do anything, what should I do." Gao Lingbo said, "Remember, if you don't care, others don't care, and if you care, others will care." ”

He said and got up.

"Niangniang can't be reckless in the future, let people call ministers so late."

The concubine was going to thank the two words and snorted and sat back.

"You can't be a public man, you don't have to learn from Chen Shao and don't enter the palace at night." She said.

Gao Lingbo smiled when he heard this.

"But Niangniang is not the queen after all, and the minister has to be cautious." He said.

In the future, King Ping will ascend the throne, the queen will be the queen mother, the name is justified, you can reprimand the Son of Heaven can also punish the harem, even if the concubine is the biological mother of the Son of Heaven, if something happens, the courtiers will not stand on her side.

So she can't do without a courtier who can help her stabilize her position and not be easily calculated.

Even if Gao Lingbo was not in the court at that time, the forces he had accumulated and cultivated could do this.

The concubine naturally knew in her heart, she snorted and waved her hand.

Gao Lingbo hurried out.

The sun sets, and a new day has arrived.

"Thirteen, thirteen."

There was a call from inside the house, and Qin Shisanlang, who was standing under the porch watching the caged bird, hurriedly responded and looked over.

I saw that my parents, brothers and sisters were already seated in the house.

"It's coming, it's coming." He hurriedly walked in, and sat down on his knees in front of his own desks, looking at the meal on which it was more sumptuous than usual.

"Thank you, father and mother." He said.

The atmosphere in the room was cheerful.

"I wish our Qin Arc another year longer." Qin Shi laughed.

The brothers and sisters also picked up the wine bowls one after another, Qin Shisanlang returned the salute with a smile, and everyone drank together.

Because of his young age, he can't live long, and it is enough to eat a little more heartily than the daily meal, and he quickly finished eating and scattered.

Qin Shisanlang accepted the gifts from his brothers and sisters again, and moved back to his house, which was already piled up.

The little guy stood aside and muttered who sent this, who sent it, who sent it.

"What did you get on Saturday?" Qin Shisanlang asked directly, "It won't be that it hasn't arrived yet, right?" ”

"It's here, it's early this morning." The little guy laughed as he took out a large gift box from it.

Qin Shisanlang smiled, and it can be seen that it was pinched and calculated when it was delivered today.

He reached out and opened the box, and saw that it was nothing more than a rough short knife.

"I don't know which unlucky man took it from." He laughed, playing with interest.

"It's not as good as the one you gave him at the beginning." A guy said.

"What do you know, is it rare to have a child? The main thing is the heart. The other boy shook his head and said.

Qin Shisanlang laughed and threw the knife to the little guy.

"Hanging in the study." He said.

The little guy answered.

Qin Shisanlang turned around and walked a few steps again, looking at the gift box on the side.

"What about Cheng Niang's?" He asked.

"It's also delivered." A guy said, busy looking for the gift box.

Qin Shisanlang breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why don't you leave it alone." He said, watching the two little guys rummage through it.

"Found it!"

A guy took out an object and shouted happily, looking at the calligraphy on it.

Seeing what the little guy took out in his hand, Qin Shisanlang knew why he didn't take it out all at once.

There are only three parts of the congratulatory gifts, one is the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, the other is the jade pendant sachet, and the other is as strange as Liuliulang.

And what the little guy was holding in his hand at this time was turned out of the pile of pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and he was drowning in it.

Qin Shisanlang stretched out his hand to take it, this is an inkstone, a famous product in Beijing, which is worth a lot of money, and it is not inferior to those inkstones sent by others.

Qin Shisanlang smiled, and the hand holding the gift box gradually clenched hard.

"This must have been bought by the big shopkeeper of Banqin himself." He said, "The shopkeeper of Banqin is very particular about picking gifts. ”
