Chapter 21 Emperor Xiao Zhi

Wan Gonggong returned to the duty room of the Qianqing Palace, and the two little apprentices he brought with him in the duty room hurriedly came forward to serve, pouring tea and pouring tea, serving water, pinching shoulders and beating legs.

Gonggong Wan only had time to wipe his face, change his clothes, and then tidy up his appearance in the mirror, and then hurriedly went to the Qinzheng Hall of the Qianqing Palace.

Emperor Xiao Ji sat on the bookcase in the Qinzheng Hall to deal with political affairs, and behind him were two chamberlains who held their breath.

He only wears regular clothes, made of bright yellow leno, embroidered with dragon patterns, Zhai patterns, and twelve chapter patterns.

God is very kind to this man, standing at thirty, but the years have only brought him a deeper city, a more calm and majestic temperament, but it has not left traces on his face, he has no beard, he still looks young, and the breeze is like jade.

Anyone would admit that if he wasn't an emperor, he would still be a very attractive man. Of course, being an emperor makes him even more attractive.

When he heard Gonggong Wan come in, he raised his head slightly from the fold he had reviewed, glanced at him, and asked casually, "Are you back?" Then he continued to lower his head and read the folding.

At this time, you will hear that his voice is also very low and deep, like a bell ringing in the hollow, so that people can't ignore his existence, and can't help but be fascinated by this voice.

Gonggong Wan stepped forward to salute him, and then bowed down and reported: "Holy Honor, everything is going smoothly in the ceremony of Nacai. ”

Xiao Yan nodded slightly, and then said no more.

After a while, he seemed to be fascinated by something, and he was stunned. The cinnabar pen in his hand stopped in mid-air, and the red cinnabar dripped from the tip of the pen, soaking through the folds on the bookcase, leaving a huge red dot.

Gonggong Wan would always figure out the emperor's thoughts, and seeing him like this, he hurriedly added with a smile: "Miss Lin Si is very pleased." ”

Xiao Yi's face moved slightly, and his narrow eyes became even narrower.

Rejoice? She's sure she'll behave like that to outsiders.

Even as an emperor, he felt the impermanence and helplessness of life, who would have thought that once sitting on his lap, would bend his eyebrows and smile at him, stretch out his hand to grab a bead on his head, kiss him on the cheek with a smile if he can't catch it, and then look at his lovely little girl with expectant eyes, who will become his wife in the near future.

He still remembered the last time he saw her, when he was only the crown prince, and his brother King Qi joined forces with the deposed prince Yu Xin and Empress Chen, and conspired against the palace. The East Palace was trapped, and he was leading fifty percent of the soldiers and horses of the Xishan Battalion into the palace to rescue him, and he had no time to take care of the East Palace. When his guards finally rescued Donggong, he heard that she had told Tai'er to hide in a rice bowl in the kitchen, and then went out to lure the rebels to the study, and finally she was slightly injured.

At that time, she was only six or seven years old, and she led Tai'er, who was a year younger than her, timidly walked to him, and he asked her if she was afraid.

She was silent for a while, hesitating whether she should prove to adults that she was a brave child, but in the end, as if she finally couldn't help it, tears glistened, full of grievances, and said with a crying voice: "I'm afraid, I'm so afraid・・・・・・"

He really felt sorry for such a little girl at that time, so he held her in his arms, patted her back and comforted her: "It's okay, my uncle is here, it's okay・・・・・・" He was thinking at that time that he must not let such a little girl encounter such a thing in the future.

And she seemed to have finally found a hug where she could feel at ease, holding his neck with both hands, burying her face in his shoulder, and sobbing quietly. He vaguely remembered her trembling body and the warm tears on his neck.

Later, when he ascended the throne, he had to deal with political affairs, fight with those old ministers who had more eyes than the other, and suppress those foreign barbarians who were ready to move, one thing after another.

And Lin Ying and the Zhuang couple were probably worried about what happened before, and they no longer wanted her to come to the palace, and occasionally when he saw some children of his clan in Xianniang's palace thinking of her, he asked why Xianniang didn't summon her into the palace. He remembered that Xianniang also loved this niece very much.

But Xianniang said with regret: "My third sister-in-law said that the child was sick, and said that she would not be allowed to enter the palace so as not to cause us trouble." ”

He also has children, understands the thoughts of Lin Ying and his wife, and then he is no longer reluctant.

He smiled a little helplessly, he still thought that when the little girl grew up, he must choose a good husband for her, give her a holy decree to marry, and use the etiquette of a princess to marry her beautifully, so as to ensure that she has no worries for a lifetime. Unexpectedly, fate came full circle, and eventually he would become her husband.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ji put down the pen and asked Wan Gong again: "I remember that the child has been sick since he returned to Beijing, and now he is ・・・・・・."

Gonggong Wan immediately answered: "The emperor can rest assured, the fourth lady's body has been completely well, the slave has been staring at it, and the imperial doctor also said that the fourth lady's body is good, it turned out that she had been sick just because of restlessness, and then she wanted to open it and was cured immediately, and now her body is completely fine." ”

Xiao Yan nodded and said no more.

After a while, he remembered something again, and asked again, "What about Tai'er, what have you been doing lately?" I haven't seen him in a while, and I haven't seen him come to greet me in the past few days. ”

Wan Gonggong smiled and said: "Your Royal Highness taught the emperor a lesson because of the bad article last time, and I am ashamed, I have been studying hard recently, and I also told the people of Yanqing Palace that if I don't make an article that satisfies the emperor and the princesses, I won't come to see the emperor." ”

Xiao Yan showed a little mildness on his face, and said: "This child's temperament is a little twisted like his mother, I'm afraid that he is mentally complaining about what I taught him last time." ”

Gonggong Wan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, don't say that, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince loves you very much." ”

Xiao admonished: "That's it, who let me be his father." Then he commanded: "Let them take good care of his diet, and let people watch him not to work too hard, so as not to hurt his body." ”

Gonggong Wan smiled and said respectfully: "Yes." ”

As he spoke, he lowered his head, but his face showed a little sadness.

The prince is not studying seriously these days, but hiding in the house without eating or drinking, and his temper has become very irritable, and he has heard the news of his rod killing people in the East Palace several times, if it were not for the fence of the East Palace to be quite stable, I am afraid that the news of the prince's temper has already spread to the ears of the foreign court and the emperor through the hand of the one in Zhaoyang Palace.

The emperor may care about the crown prince, but it is not necessarily the minions of them who know the prince's mind.

The crown prince began to change his temperament after the news came out from the palace that the emperor wanted to establish Miss Lin Si as the queen.

But some things, like the prince's careful thoughts, can only be strangled in the cradle forever, and cannot be known to others. He hoped that the little master of the East Palace would understand as soon as possible that the emperor was his father, but he was also the son of heaven.
