In recent days, the atmosphere in the court has been tense, and the emperor obviously wants to relieve himself, don't be tense for a long time, and then break down.

Moreover, I also want to tell the people that the Great Zhou Dynasty is still peaceful and prosperous, and those small disputes on the border are nothing.

The emperor's holy birthday has passed, he was sick at that time, and he didn't do much, but just received some gifts, and on this day, he suddenly had a whim, and he wanted to invite all the ministers and clans, all with their children and grandchildren, to go to the newly rebuilt Xiyuan to play.

is a good prince, he doesn't have to do big things, so he is responsible for this, I think when he is not the prince, he is also a close minister of the Son of Heaven, and he is serious about running errands for the court.

was a little depressed, holding a small watermelon while nibbling, while complaining to Hongchen, anyway, in the queen's place, she was not afraid of others hearing it.

Hongchen laughed.

"What else do you need to be new, how can there be anything new? The last time a few emperors and grandchildren wrestled, they all fell into disgrace, I don't need to prepare, put them in the garden, and it was naturally lively. ”

Hongchen smiled again, blinked, and suddenly remembered that there was a small game in the space that a great power didn't know where to look, coaxing a group of people in the space to play, and everyone was embarrassed, and it was also very interesting.

"I'll give you an idea." Hongchen held his chin, asked people to bring a pen and paper, and wrote and drew seriously, "Isn't there a big lake in the garden, you build some props in the lake, let those dragons and phoenixes and grandchildren be divided into several groups to compete, which group has passed more levels within the specified time, the more points, and the final winner has a reward, well, it is best to have a little reward every time you pass a level." ”

Hongchen pondered carefully, these dragon sons and phoenix grandchildren don't care what they say, they are all educated by elites, and everyone is not short of ability.

At least those who can be brought to the emperor to show off must be the best.

The show is too simple, but it can't stimulate their fighting spirit, so they still have to prepare for difficulties.

The prince listened to the clouds and mountains and mist, but when Hongchen explained like this, he looked at the so-called single-plank bridges, high and low bars, rotating windmills, flushing planks, and chain bridges flying across the woods, all messy, and knew that even a good hand was not easy to pass, poof, and happy.

"This is good, I just hope you don't mess with me."

"Caiyi entertainment, you are indispensable."

Hongchen handed over the drawings and asked the prince to find someone from the inner palace to complete these mechanical props.

"If you're not happy after playing, well, I still have an idea, call the survivors, gather your dragon sons and phoenix grandchildren, no one will bring any palace people, find a way to survive and participate in the competition, we can think carefully about the competition items and rules, and the ones left in the end will be rewarded, it must be interesting."

Hongchen smiled, "Don't we want to play?" Then have a good time, play for a few days in one go, and it doesn't hurt to come. ”

The prince listened to it very well.

The queen sat aside and heard them discuss, and the first stood up and clapped her hands: "Good, good, this is good." ”

Of course, Niangniang thinks it's good, anyway, no matter how much she tosses, she can't toss her old man's head.

So, the prince got on the thief ship like this, and was inexplicably stuffed with a ghost idea, and honestly went back to arrange it.

When the time came, the emperor really invited all the ministers to Xiyuan to have fun, and Hongchen accompanied the queen to accompany him.

As a result, this lively scene lasted for three whole days, and a group of children from the noble family were all tossed and almost scattered.

The prince also followed suit.

At this time, it is not hot at all, although it is not a cold winter, the wind is cold enough, everyone tosses in the water, it is really a big sin, but it is really stimulating, at the beginning there is a little politeness, and later, the emperor is overjoyed, and he is rewarded, plus the ministers are there, who doesn't want to show their faces in front of everyone, the fight is white-hot, you make me stumble, I harass you all kinds of tricks, tricks are frequent, make the emperor laugh, and the depression in his heart is swept away.

Participating in the desperate competition for victory, the bystanders are also too addicted to the eyes, and they also gamble.

Da Zhou people love to gamble, they can gamble on anything, and now it's so lively, how can you not gamble?

Not only the courtiers, but even the harem of the Long Live Lord opened a big gamble. A group of little palace maids and little eunuchs all played with silver.

While the queen was happy, she asked people to prepare ginger soup and hot water, and when she finished playing, she threw it into the hot water and soaked it until it was transparent, and poured ginger soup one by one, and then released it after taking care of it.

The fierce ended, the emperor was really unsatisfied, these children were thrown into the northeast corner of Xiyuan Shoushan Mountain, long live the Lord also entered, sat on the mountainside, delicious and delicious to watch them do their own food and clothing, living a miserable, no one to serve the pitiful life.

The prince didn't end up this time, he joined the so-called referee team, and coaxed Long Live Lord to also help with the topic, muddy the water, and create difficulties for a group of children, Long Live Lord was really interested, even his body felt much lighter, and his spirit was also very good.

A game, the emperor was happy, the participants in the game showed their faces and were happy, and the ministers also made a happy appearance, in short, everyone was satisfied.

Another advantage is that the crown prince and the royal family are a little closer, and the relationship has become a little closer and less rusty.

After all, the prince is different from them, he grew up outside, a group of clan dignitaries, and he doesn't know what kind of temper the prince is.

If you want to say that the emperor is a creature, it is better to be gentle, and any minister is afraid of encountering the one who will kill at every turn, and serve that kind of master, which may lose his head at any time, and even the whole family will suffer.

The crown prince looks good, the future job seems to be a little guaranteed, and some neutral people gradually feel that there is nothing wrong with the smooth transition of the imperial court.

Long live the old man, and the question of the successor should also be considered.

They are loyal monarchs, but they also have to think about it for the future, and build a good relationship with the prince in advance, there is nothing bad about it, the prince is the emperor's personal seal, get closer, as long as you don't step on the line, it is estimated that the long-lived lord is also optimistic.

Hongchen is also very satisfied, very happy to play, the girls play games on weekdays, most of them are very quiet, that is, riding horses to shoot hunting, but also beautiful posture, compared to how fast they can run, how many prey they can shoot, most of them pay more attention to manners, when they can be so wanton and happy, but they are very rare and rare.

In the past few days of playing in Xiyuan, Hongchen reported it directly, and told Qiao's that the young lady of the Ninghou family invited her to accompany her, Qiao's naturally would not be unwilling, Sister Yao, they were very envious, for several days, going out early and returning late all day, the Lu family's affairs, I didn't care too much, but I didn't expect that if I didn't pay attention to it for a few days, the Lu family actually came to have guests.

The Lu family is not familiar with the place in the capital, and when they come from other places, to put it bluntly, they are fleeing, and they also have relatives to defect, which is really a new thing.

Qiao's didn't take it seriously, and Hongchen came back just in time, so he let her see her.

is a beautiful woman, with a pair of children, the son looks ordinary, but the daughter is really a little beautiful, of course, for small families, it is called beautiful, and it is very inconspicuous in the capital.

However, this girl is a little strange, her eyes are hazy, and her eyes are strange and uncomfortable.

Qiao Shi introduced it lightly, and only let Hongchen call the woman is.

I turned my head and inquired only to find out that this so-called person who came to join the family was not a serious relative, but Aunt Xu's sister.

Aunt Xu finally gave birth to a son and a daughter to the eldest master, belonging to a favored concubine, and she is also a little decent at home, even compared to Qiao's who only has one daughter, she herself still feels that she is more embarrassed, fortunately, Sister Fang is quite clear in this regard, for her own aunt, of course, she is closer to her heart, closer than her mother-in-law, but in appearance, she is steady, lukewarm, and never willing to be honest at will.

Because of this, Aunt Xu was still very unhappy.

Aunt Xu became a concubine, the family conditions are naturally not good, the Xu family opened a tofu factory, did a little business, gave birth to two daughters, the eldest daughter was lucky, married to a merchant's sister-in-law, is the wife of the main house, when the second daughter arrived, just suffered a disaster, the family was almost unable to open the pot, just the eldest master of the Lu family passed by, and fell in love with the beauty of the second daughter, that is, Aunt Xu, so he accepted her as a concubine, and gave a lot of silver, so that the family passed the difficulty.

After entering the Lu family, she was very favored, gave birth to children one after another, and her status also rose, so she did not subsidize her mother's family, and now the Xu family is also very rich.

Her eldest sister's luck is really bad, the man died early, the clan coveted her family's property, and it was also to see her orphans and widows being bullied, but the eldest sister of Aunt Xu's mother's family had a few means, but she made a big deal and didn't let the clan succeed.

The people in the clan are angry, vindictive, deliberately bad, instigating a local greedy and lustful gentry, fancy her daughter, to say that a daughter, can keep the family property, it is estimated that Aunt Xu's eldest sister for the son, can also be ruthless, the problem is that when I look at the gentry, I have a crooked mind, not only want a daughter, but also want her to go bankrupt to prepare a dowry, she is ruthless, she gritted her teeth and secretly sold the family property, and took the children to prepare to go back to her parents' house, but I didn't expect to do it yet, I received a letter from my sister, saying that my sister actually settled down in the capital.

What kind of family is the Lu family? Don't look at the family, but for the Xu family, it is to the sky.

And it was the capital, Aunt Xu's sister and her husband died early, and she only had a pair of children, and her mind was on the child, hoping that her son would get ahead, and if she wanted to get ahead, of course she had to study, and her son had a bit of talent, and when he was studying at home, the gentlemen praised him, and he was no worse than others.

She was also forced to be ruthless, so she simply burdened the money and traveled thousands of miles to Beijing to join her sister.

As soon as this happened, Aunt Xu was also worried, she was just an aunt, how could there be a reason for her aunt's relatives to come to join her, and which one did she vote for? They're not good at all!

Fortunately, Aunt Xu did have a face in front of the master, and she could only bow down and be small, so she lied back in front of the eldest master, and the eldest master didn't take it seriously, and responded casually, anyway, the family will not lack a bite to eat.

It's all here, and the old lady and Qiao's didn't pout people back, just like the old man said, it doesn't matter, there is no need to make a fuss and let others see the joke.

It is estimated that this also thought of this, so she dared to come to the door with a cheeky face.

There have been no new playmates at home for a long time, and Sister Yao and her sisters think it's very interesting to see the newcomers, so they get together and chatter non-stop.

"That Hua Wei is very interesting, and he said that he is a reader, and he seems to be reading very well, but when he entered the study, he was a little worse than Brother Quan in the third room."

The other little girls snickered too.

Hongchen was speechless.

Brother Quan, don't look at the age of six, but the children of the Lu family, no matter the concubine, are all after the three-year-old enlightenment, they will find Mr. to teach seriously, and when they are six years old, they will start to slowly prepare for the boy's test.

What is Caret?

His so-called reading, it is estimated that he is with a literate person, maybe the old Xiucai who barely took the test at the age of fifty or sixty barely knows a few words, and the old Xiucai's students are estimated to be indispensable, and he will have nothing to eat if he is too little.

The boy from the countryside, if he can really compare with the sons and daughters of the Lu family, the old lady will probably be furious.

"That Huajuan is also quite strange, she doesn't look at people properly." Sister Yao blinked, Sister Fang was not here at this time, and it was rare for her to say a few small words, Hongchen didn't stop it when she heard it, if Qiao's heard it, it was estimated that she would have to give a few words.

"The little maid who took care of Huajuan said that this guest was very strange, and when they went into the house to clean up a teacup or something, they had to stare hard with their eyes, and the people who stared at it were uncomfortable."

The sisters also had nothing to say a few words, mainly fresh, and after two days, they didn't take such a relative who was not a relative to heart about it.

Hongchen didn't care even more, the news came out from the prince's side, suggesting that the emperor's health was getting worse and worse, and the queen was also a little worried, she told the prince not to act indiscriminately, and follow under the nose of the long live lord, it's better to be honest, no matter how old the emperor is, he can't point to him that he is already old and confused, haven't I seen the birth of the prince and the princess in the palace in the past two years?

On the one hand, I have to make the queen happy, and I am very busy.

I didn't pay attention to this, and something happened as a result, not much, but not very good, this new relative of the Lu family, Miss Huajuan went to the garden to pick flowers one afternoon, and when she saw Qiao's at first glance, she screamed loudly, saying that she had a poisonous snake in her heart and wanted to bite someone, although she only said one word, she let the rush over and gag it, or startled Qiao's family.
