The copper faucet leaking pot in the temple shows that it is the second watch at this time. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The night is deep and dewy, and the late autumn night in the north has shown a hint of coolness. Although there are many rare antiques in the imperial study room, and the bookcases are full of books and chapters, it still seems a little empty. The tassels of bright yellow lanterns hanging from the top cast shadows on the carved screens.

"He Shun, light the fire a little more."

Emperor Shengde ——, the fifth emperor of the Golden Bird Dynasty, the lord of Zhongxing, finally put down the music in his hand, slender and fair, and his carefully maintained fingers slowly pressed the acupuncture points on his forehead.

The bright and dim light cast high and low shadows on his face, and the face under his fingers was angular, and his face was as white and smooth as his fingers.

Undoubtedly, he was a handsome emperor. Twenty years of excessively heavy government affairs, as well as the passage of thirty-four, did not carve too many traces of time on his face.

His eyebrows and eyes are a little too beautiful, his hair is as colored as ink, his eyebrows are very dark, and his narrow eyes are the same pair of dark pupils like ink, the light is introverted and calm, so that people can't see through the joy and anger.

The slightly thick lips, the sharp jaw, and the clear and masculine lines show the assertive and tenacious side of the owner's character.

The great eunuch He Shun lightly lit up the candle flame a little more, and saw that Emperor Shengde picked up a book again, and he had the posture of fighting at night, so he couldn't help but remind softly:

"Your Majesty, it's already the second watch, it's late at night, it's time for you to rest."

The emperor does not rest, and the masters and slaves in this great palace naturally cannot sleep peacefully.

Li Haotian finally put down the book in his hand again, looked at the dark night outside, and wrinkled his good-looking eyebrows, as if he was a little displeased.

"Since it's late, tell everywhere to turn off the lights and turn off the fire, and rest all."

"Yes!"

"I'll just rest behind."

The emperor wants to rest in the side hall behind the imperial study of this heart cultivation hall, and it seems that the masters everywhere will wait in vain tonight.

Naturally, the emperor had his own bedchamber. Qianyuan Palace, is the highest and mighty palace in the harem, located in the middle of the fan-shaped of the entire harem group.

The imperial study of the palace is located between the harem and the main hall in front, and the emperor often sees the late and does not want the concubine to sleep, so he often stays in the apse of the palace of the heart. Although this is not a thing to make a fuss about, the situation is a little different tonight, and the emperor has not been back to the harem for the tenth day in a row. It seems to be deliberately hiding from something.

There is a newcomer in the harem - a newcomer whose status cannot be ignored for so many days.

The daughter of the left prime minister who leans towards the government and the opposition, the Lin family, who holds the civil and military power, the eldest daughter of the Lin Mansion, Lin Zitang, the emperor's new concubine.

Knowing how to handle the severity is the way to survive in the palace, if he doesn't perform the duty of reminding, even if he has the emperor's favor, he is afraid that he will not die in the end.

"The Emperor's ......"

After all, the emperor is the emperor, the true dragon son admired by all the people, he is a slave, what should he say? And the emperor in front of him is the one who dislikes others to dictate his personal life the most.

It is one thing to make a proper compromise politically, and quite another to intervene in the personal life of the emperor.

"What's wrong?"

“… It's time for the emperor to go to the bride! ”

He Shun gritted his teeth and boldly reminded in a soft voice. After speaking, he quickly lowered his head.

The emperor let this new concubine live in Kunning Palace, which is second only to the queen, and Kun'an Palace, which is close to the emperor's sleeping palace, Qianyuan Palace, and seems to be very favored by this bride who has never met and has an extraordinary background. But he didn't see it for ten consecutive days, and he frowned at the mention of the new concubine, and seemed to dislike her very much.

Sure enough, the emperor's good-looking eyebrows furrowed again.

Lin Zitang has never served the emperor, and has not officially rewarded any titles, her current identity is at best just a show girl with the lowest status, why is she called Niangniang?

He Shun, who grew up in the palace since he was a child, didn't seem to realize his slip of the tongue at all, and Li Haotian didn't bother to remind him.

"How many days?"

"It's been ten days."

Li Haotian pondered for a moment, and finally stood up.

"Spread the decree and set up the Kun'an Palace."

"Yes! The minion is going to preach the decree! ”

He Shun happily responded, and was relieved to prepare to convey the will, so that Kun'an Palace was ready to meet him.

Before He Shun could walk out of the door, Li Haotian suddenly changed his mind again.

"Wait."

"Your Majesty?!"

"I don't need to let the people from Kun'an Palace take over, I have to go directly."

He suddenly had a strong desire to see the true face of this Lin Zitang without decoration, and wanted to see what kind of daughter Lin Zuoxiang, who was scheming, who had spent 20 years holding the government in his hands little by little, and inserting his protégés and former officials all over the government and the opposition, would raise?

The Lin family has already produced two champions, one article and one martial arts. Lin Zifeng's excellence made him even if he was very unwilling, he could only hand over the important town of Beiguan and the military power of hundreds of thousands of troops to him.

Although Lin Ziran is young, he has no shortage of talents for governing the country, and many of his political views on reforming the New Deal coincide with his. If Lin Ziran hadn't been born in the Lin family, I am afraid that he would not hesitate to reuse him, and even use him to replace the decrepit Guozhang, the right minister Wang Zhan, and the left minister Lin Wenyue, who has some high achievements.

The Lin family seems to have collected the essence of heaven and earth and produced such outstanding children. As the Emperor of the Golden Birds, there were times when he didn't know whether to feel happy or threatened.

And this demarcation is all about how to use or use them, and how to grasp the scale of proximity and distance.

Lin Zitang, who was summoned to the palace, naturally became this lever to mediate far and near, a victim of a political marriage, and she was selected correctly, but it was just when it was time to marry the Lin family politically, just like the queen Wang entered the palace back then.

Since he chose her, he didn't want to deliberately embarrass her. Ten days of snubbing, just because he hadn't figured out how to face this woman from the Lin family, who was too smart.

Fortunately, he thought to himself that Lin Zitang didn't seem to be as good as her father and brother.

He also read her poems, although the rhetoric is beautiful, it seems to lack some connotation, and the momentum is far inferior to Ouyang Jie, who took the champion lightly.

However, those poems always gave him a feeling that the words, and the people who wrote them, were all hiding behind a hazy veil, so that people could not see or touch them.

What kind of true face is under that layer of gauze?

He was curious.

The two eunuchs held lanterns in front of them, and Li Haotian walked all the way, falling into contemplation all the way. He didn't seem to notice it at all, and he didn't even think about whether his concubine was good-looking or whether she was a charming and beautiful woman. Twenty years of imperial life, surrounded by too many beautiful women, has made him lose that instinctive desire for women.

I saw the lights of Kun'an Palace from afar, and in this dark night, the dim yellow light gave people a warm feeling.

Li Haotian stopped.

The palace had been idle for many years, and apart from the occasional visit, no woman had been there.

There were too many memories of him buried here.

Today it finally has a new owner, and everything seems to be the same, and something seems to have quietly changed.

Withdrawing from his entourage, he quietly walked into the palace gate, and the scene he saw in front of him made his eyes widen suddenly.

"This? ……”

What's going on in front of you?
