Chapter 435 It's another year of warm spring
"Don't worry, the emperor is more empathetic than you and me, not to mention, the second brother is no longer the emperor who was once the young and restrained. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info"The eldest princess is very appreciative and proud of the emperor's current power.
"Hey...... Do you still want to pull Zi Ran into this whirlpool? Xiao Yan was a little disappointed.
"Little uncle, it's not that we want to, but Ziran has to." The eldest princess expressed helplessness.
"Hey...... It's okay, maybe it's fate, as long as the child is safe, I don't have an opinion. Xiao Yan also knew that he was helpless in this struggle for imperial power, so he didn't want to say more.
"Don't worry, that kid still has us." The eldest princess laughed.
"That's right, there's us, there's still us......" Xiao Yan smiled.
Just after noon, the eldest princess took Xiao Yan out of the palace and returned to Xiao Hou's Mansion, with uncharacteristically fanfare, so that everyone in the capital relished the Xiao family and talked about it.
Not long after, Jiang Zhengxi, who had broken up the chess game, also took Yan Ruojiu and said goodbye to the emperor and Fei Ziran out of the palace and returned home.
That night, in addition to the rumors that Xiao Yan and Marquis Xiao were rehabilitated and returned to Beijing, the always high-profile Liuli Pavilion was also temporarily closed due to a thorough investigation by the Nangong family.
Since Fei Ziran's identity was determined, the emperor has not concealed his love and compensation for this son who has been away for many years.
In the blink of an eye, it is the end of the year, and Fei Ziran is destined to be low-key.
On the first day of the new year, the emperor took Fei Ziran to participate in the sacrifice to the heavens, and at the same time officially added Fei Ziran to the royal jade and changed his name to Jiang Ziran, not in the same row as other princes.
Recorded in the royal jade, participating in the highest level of imperial power to worship the sky, but not ranked into the prince's seat, both inside and outside the court are a little confused about the emperor's intentions.
Just when the courtiers were in an uproar again, another holy decree of the emperor directly quelled all speculation, but also pushed Jiang Ziran, who was officially renamed, to the forefront of public opinion.
This holy decree is also simple, directly gave Jiang Ziran the position of the king of the county, and gave the king of the county the name of An, since then, everyone in the capital knows that the emperor has a son with the name of the king of Anjun.
And this is the first time among the princes, and it has to be envied and unattainable.
Because of the Jiang family, among the previous dynasties, the prince was directly divided into kings, which is indeed rare, and only individual princes with extremely prominent merits can enjoy this honor.
According to historical records, among the six generations of the Jiang dynasty, only the former emperor Jiang Yaowen, that is, Jiang Ziran's great-grandfather, was once crowned king when he was on the throne of the prince, and that was also because of the irreplaceable contributions he had made, but now it is ...... Jiang Ziran, Wen Tao, and Wu were not successful, and when they were suddenly divided, the courtiers were stunned, and they had to start thinking about the emperor's favor and trust in him.
It seems that the political affairs of the DPRK have happened irreversibly and unexpectedly at this moment, and all the ministers have begun to reconsider the beginning of the new year.
This holy decree also completely pulled Jiang Ziran into the struggle for imperial power, no matter how he rejected it, he would never be able to change what his identity determined.
For a while, Jiang Ziran couldn't get used to it, but with Xiao Yan helping him all the time, Jiang Ziran slowly accepted the reality.
It's another year of spring flowers, and the willful emperor is playing against Xiao Yan in the garden of the eldest princess's mansion.
Xiao Yan finally left a son, and then smiled modestly: "Your Majesty, Weichen...... Won again. ”
"Oops...... Come again, come again! ”
The emperor's chess skills are also quite exquisite, no matter who he plays against, the worst is a tie, of course, because of his identity, there are also cases of sloping whiskers and slapping horses, ignoring this, the emperor's chess skills can indeed be overwhelming.
But this has played five or six games with Xiao Yan, and the emperor, who has always been very confident in his chess skills, has never won a game, and he has lost a game worse than a game, how can the emperor with a good face be willing to stop, and he is stunned to bet on Xiao Yan to open another game.
Not long after, the emperor was forced to die again, and he was stunned for a quarter of an hour holding the white son in his hand, and he didn't know whether to put it aside.
Father-in-law Zhou on the side, looking at his master's energetic look, was very helpless, he desperately squeezed his eyebrows and made eyes for Marquis Xiao.
But Xiao Yan, who was focused on the chess game, was stunned, Father-in-law Zhou was in a hurry, their master couldn't lose anymore...... Otherwise, this face will really not be able to hang up, and when the time comes, it will really start a fire, hey, hey...... Hiss...... Grandpa Zhou felt his scalp tingle when he thought about it.
Zhou Gongcheng thought about it, the emperor finally left a son, and then breathed a sigh of relief with some satisfaction.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan smiled slightly, calmly dropped a son, and then hugged his fists and said, "Your Majesty, admit it." ”
"What...... Is it? I've lost again? The emperor looked incredulous, staring at the chess game in front of him, his face was red and white, and he couldn't tell whether he was angry or annoyed.
Father-in-law Zhou was about to cry on the side, and his old face full of wrinkles was not much better than that of the emperor.
After a long time, the emperor finally recovered from the blow, and said with depression and annoyance: "Whew...... Xiao Yan, you, you ......"
"What? Haven't you finished yet? When the emperor was about to go berserk, the eldest princess came over with a smile.
Father-in-law Zhou looked nervous as if he had seen a savior.
As soon as the emperor saw the eldest princess, he greeted with indignation: "Eldest sister! ”
"Eldest princess......" Xiao Yan still smiled warmly.
"What's wrong? Looking angry and depressed? The eldest princess looked at it, and the emperor raised her eyebrows angrily, and was a little puzzled.
However, after stepping forward to take a look at the chess game, the eldest princess smiled and said, "Hehe, I see? What do you think? Emperor, how many have you won or lost? ”
"Uh......" is more than half a hundred years old, accustomed to the wind and waves, and has always been an emperor who is not surprised by changes, and suddenly became embarrassed.
Xiao Yan still smiled and said nothing.
Gonggong Zhou, who was behind the emperor, waved his hand at the eldest princess at the right time, hinting at the battle situation.
The eldest princess smiled and said, "Hehe, this time I met an opponent, right?" ”
"That, that, that's because I'm not in a good state today, and I'm just unprepared for a while." The emperor said with a look of reluctance.
"Hehe, you, Xiao Yan is a close disciple of the chess saint Kong Cicada, this is all over the world, there is probably no opponent for him, you can hold on for so long, it's already quite good." The eldest princess smiled and comforted.
"Empty, empty cicada?" The emperor didn't believe it, for fear that the eldest sister would say it casually in order to comfort her.
"yes." The eldest princess laughed.
The emperor raised his eyebrows and looked at Xiao Yan again, and Xiao Yan smiled when he saw this: "Well, Weichen is indeed the apprentice of Master Empty Cicada. ”
"You, you, why didn't you say it earlier!" I knew I wouldn't have played with you, huh...... The Emperor said depressedly.
"Hehe, the emperor didn't ask." Xiao Yan said with an innocent face.
"You...... Hu ...... "The emperor is really depressed.
"Okay, okay, you're half a hundred, why are you still like a child, the chess game is like a battlefield, winning or losing is a common thing, what's there to be angry about." The eldest princess patted the emperor on the shoulder and smiled.
"Eldest sister......" The emperor was a little unhappy.
"Okay, it's been more than two hours, it's time to rest, lunch has already been prepared, let's move the land, right?" The eldest princess didn't want the emperor to get entangled in this little thing, so she smiled and pulled the emperor to the dining room......
After lunch, and a burst of spring camellia in the garden, the emperor's depressed mood was relieved.
In the end, the emperor took two pots of camellia from the eldest princess's garden, and the frustration in the chess game was put aside.
After sending the emperor away, the eldest princess smiled helplessly: "Little uncle, you are really, your chess skills, can't you let the emperor go?" ”
When Xiao Yan heard this, he smiled helplessly: "How do you know that I didn't let it?" ”
"Uh......" The eldest princess smiled bitterly when she was asked, "Hey...... Let him not let him know. ”
"Hehe, hey...... It's really interesting, no matter what the emperor says, he is in his early fifties, how can he be in front of you, he still looks like a child, and he is still thinking about the complaint, hehehehe, hehehe...... Ay...... It's really like when you were a child......" Xiao Yan couldn't help but laugh.
"Hey...... The emperor is also a human being, and I am his eldest sister, no matter how old I am, this will not change, the palace is a place that lacks human feelings, he is always encircled there, occasionally in my petty temper, coquettish, it is also regarded as a kind of soothing, and it can be regarded as a way to maintain and enhance the relationship between our sisters and brothers.
But...... The emperor is not bad, but most of the time he is stable, unlike the third child, since he was a child, I haven't really worryed, he is more like a child......" The eldest princess said her two younger brothers, and the meaning of doting was overflowing.
"Hehe, hey...... I've heard about this too, but don't you enjoy it? "Xiao Yan knows the eldest princess best.
"Whew...... Who made them my brother, hey......" The eldest princess laughed.
"Yes, in the royal family, it is really rare for brothers and sisters to work together and be so close to each other like your three siblings, hey...... By the way, Zi Ran has been okay lately? After the Chinese New Year, Xiao Yan hadn't seen Jiang Ziran for a while.
