Chapter 188: With the king's side

Li Wei returned to the court very high-profile, all the soldiers in the capital lined up to greet each other, and the people went out to watch, only to see the brown big horse sitting on the regent, accompanied by the red gauze curtain next to the footsteps, but there was a faint smile in the silence. ↖ , The emperor on the step was wearing a light crown, although her face was a little pale, she was in good spirits, and waved frequently. The people had already learned the news that the emperor had a leg injury, and many people took herbs to treat leg diseases and put them on the road they walked by.

The avenue leading from Kyoto to the palace gate was crowded with people and there was a lot of discussion.

"Hey, our majesty is so good-looking."

"How can you see clearly under the curtain? Or the regent is handsome and mighty. ”

"Is it the Lord Regent who got His Majesty back?"

"Why do I think Lord Regent and His Majesty are a good match? It makes people happy to look at. ”

"Yes, yes, it's like a golden boy and a girl."

"Lord Regent has never laughed, but we just saw him laugh, really! It's a shame you didn't see it! ”

The people blocked the official road, and the guards opened the way until the gate of the palace.

Beichen Luo wore a grand dragon costume to greet him at the palace gate, Li Wei collapsed, beckoned to him, pulled him up together, and returned to the palace.

Beichen Luo pulled his imperial sister, not leaving an inch, that sticky appearance made Li Wei can't bear to drive him away, so he let him enter the palace together, seeing that Mama Bi also looked at her with tears in her eyes, no longer nagging, and went to get a set of quilts in person, only to let the two sisters and brothers rest.

The Ministry of Industry rushed out a wooden wheelchair overnight, and Beichen pushed her imperial sister to the court. Baiguan watched the two sisters and brothers appear together, no one dared to squeak, although His Majesty had been missing for nearly half a month and injured his leg, but this spirit was still very strong, even worse than before, this assassination, I don't know how many people will suffer.

After the early dynasty, several major news spread throughout Kyoto.

Because of Guo Zibi's meritorious service, the Guo family has the talent of tracing and investigating the case, and is upright, so he was specially hired as the Yushitai; Lu Xiao was promoted to the secretary of the Ministry of Rites; Mrs. Wei was rewarded with a title, and at the same time, he was given a gold medal order to avoid death.

Since then, the post of Yushitai has finally settled, and the people began to dig up the private affairs of the Guo family while looking forward to it, and they were shocked to hear that the Guo family was actually a century-old family, and they couldn't help but be in awe.

A small celebration banquet was set up in the palace, and the courtiers sat together.

Li Wei needed to pay tribute to the hero, and seeing that Mrs. Wei's face was not very good, she asked Duo Neng to push her wheelchair and came to the teacher's side:

"Don't hide what the master has to say, isn't the reward I gave not enough? But your official position is too high, I can't continue to promote you, what do you want? ”

Wei Taifu's old face was entangled, "Your Majesty, how dare the old minister take credit." The success of this case is all due to the credit of Lord Lu and Guo Zibi, and the old minister followed behind, and it was a shame to be rewarded. ”

Lu Xiao has already stepped forward, "Wei Taifu is modest, if we hadn't gotten your guidance when chasing King Xu, and knew the way to that villa, I'm afraid we would have pounced." ”

When Mrs. Wei heard this, his face stiffened, and he smiled uncomfortably. He remembered the address of that mountain villa, and his heart felt as if an unknown pill had fallen, which was his favorite Zhuangzi in Liqing, but for some reason it became a hiding place for King Xu and others, and he saw a very familiar figure that day, but he felt that it was impossible.

Li Wei didn't care about his distraction, thinking that Wei Taifu was a more or less self-humble spirit of a scholar. talked to Lu Xiao again, "Lu Aiqing has worked hard this time, I must toast you." Li Wei took the tea from the wine glass and clinked glasses with him.

Lu Xiao didn't dare to take credit, but she was happy at this time: she finally came back safely, although she had a foot injury, but after all, she came back.

"Your Majesty, Wechen is very worried about Your Majesty these days."

"There's nothing to worry about, isn't this coming back. I will not die this time, and the Beichen Kingdom will have a blessing, so you have to follow me well. Li Wei became smug and began to joke again.

"We're not going to leave Your Majesty."

"Yes, yes, you must not change jobs."

Lu Xiao looked at her gently, knowing that she might understand the meaning differently, "Where is Your Majesty, where is the minister." Li Wei's heart was overjoyed when she said this, and she patted his hand, "Let's go, let's talk to Guo Zibi." ”

Lu Xiao took the affection in his eyes and followed behind Li Wei sternly, and at the same time, he could feel that Lord Regent's eyes had intimidated him for a long time, from the time he started talking to His Majesty, until now, he was sticky and sharp. If he can have a good start with His Majesty, he doesn't mind regaining His Majesty's attention, but unfortunately, His Majesty only thinks of him as a courtier now.

"Your Majesty is safe and sound, and Lord Regent should be the first to take the credit!" Taishi Qi didn't know when he had already walked up to Guan Qianyi and raised the cup in his hand.

Guan Qianyi retracted his gaze and looked at Taishi Qi in front of him, "What Taishi said is that this king is ahead of Taishi." I heard that the Taishi also sent a lot of people to look for His Majesty? ”

Qi Taishi, who asked this, was a little embarrassed, he thought that His Majesty would not return, and was about to send people to prepare for the disappearance of His Majesty, but he didn't expect the regent to bring people back, and he was so angry that his heart was almost broken. Having missed such a good opportunity, they are now vigilant, and if they want to do it again, I am afraid it will be even more difficult.

Guan Qianyi already knew that after this assassination case, he more or less knew what chips the Qi family had, and even if His Majesty had to get rid of it, it meant that they already had a replacement candidate, if it wasn't for Beichen Luo, it could only be the other children of the first emperor. However, except for the thirteen princesses of King Xu, the brothers and children of the first emperor have long been unable to give birth to waves, so who do they want to replace the position of His Majesty?

This game of chess is quite big. Since they want to play so big, he should accompany them.

Qi Taishi quickly concealed his discomfort, "Lord Regent, the day of Your Majesty and Xuan is coming soon, I don't know what your lord thinks?" According to the ancestral system, it should be the time for His Majesty to choose a harem. He had already seen the unusual relationship between the regent and the emperor, since the beginning of the rumors outside the palace, the court was full of subtle atmosphere, the emperor seemed to have not negotiated much with the regent, but every time the next dynasty always gathered in the Chongming Palace to discuss matters.

Since the regent cares about His Majesty, and His Majesty cares about the regent, he can give them a reminder first. As long as this regent with extreme human rights can stand on his side with Taishi Qi, he can also slow down his plan.

"No, Master Qi has to work hard." Guan Qianyi also understood that Li Wei's etiquette could only be decided by Mrs. Qi, because as His Majesty, she had no other suitable elders.

"Her majesty is my granddaughter, as it should be. His Majesty is so big in a blink of an eye, but I'm already old. Qi Taishi pretended to sigh, "So, the person beside His Majesty, the old man must choose well, the relationship between the Lord Regent and His Majesty seems to be good, I wonder if the Lord has considered this aspect for His Majesty?" ”

Guan Qianyi raised his glass, "Your Majesty has known about this matter for a long time, and will personally convey it to the Ministry of Rites, and Lu Licheng, it has nothing to do with other so-called male concubines, Taishi should be careful, don't mistake the holy will." ”

The Taishi was stunned, "This, Your Majesty is doing this," the emperor violated the ancestral teachings by doing this. He didn't have the courage to say it directly in front of Guan Qianyi, and it was a big deal, although a woman had to have a woman's rules, but it was obvious that this woman could not be decided by their elders.

"Master Tai doesn't need to worry, His Majesty will inform the Ministry of Rites of Tomorrow morning."

The Taishi understood at this time, that is, His Majesty's and the etiquette were not up to him. He had to laugh and say that His Majesty had thought about it thoroughly, but his heart was a little colder, so he didn't have to worry too much about his grandson's affection. The regent knew that he couldn't handle it, and his granddaughter on the dragon chair couldn't be obedient, so he could only tear his face and put one last move.

This time, the emperor was able to return safely, and found the Guo family to serve as the imperial historian, and also found the murderer of the first emperor, and obtained the old talisman in the hands of the thirteenth princess, which really made a lot of money. Baiguan couldn't help but pay a little attention to his majesty when he toasted, and his majesty, who was more and more calm and laughing, was too thoughtful, and even used his body as a bait to lure the enemy to attack. However, they could also feel that the atmosphere in the court was a little weird now, and the Qi family was pretending to be friendly with the regent as always, while the other families were a little more indifferent.

Rising stars such as Lord Lu and Master Guo are talking closely with His Majesty, although the old ministers also know the truth of "once a son of heaven and a courtier", but looking at the more and more young people, their hearts are also a little blocked. And Lord Regent, who has always been at the center of the whirlpool of power, has been able to be favored in the court, which really makes them ashamed and jealous. However, his majesty is not the kind of person who rushes to kill a lot of suspicion, so they won't have any big trouble.

After three rounds of drinking, although Li Wei was toasting with a teacup, she still felt a little full in her stomach, so she excused herself and left the banquet. She found a secluded spot nearby, and Duo Neng put a cushion over her leg and held her a hot water bag.

"Your Majesty, but you're not feeling well?" Duo could know that His Majesty's injury was not healed, and he drank a lot of tea at the party, thinking that she was irritable and uncomfortable.

"It's okay, I just want to be quiet."

Duo Neng shut up immediately, and stood behind her, looking at His Majesty's wheelchair, his expression a little sad. Although it is said that His Majesty will be able to jump around after a good recuperation, but now he just looks uncomfortable. What a good person, why should you suffer these sins? Hmph, I heard that it was the same person who killed the first emperor and stole his dragon snake flower, it's so lawless! The more Duo thought about it, the more angry he became, but he could only stand where he was.

"I heard that Mama Bi is still angry?" Li Wei suddenly asked again.

Duo Neng replied immediately, "Yes, Mama Bi is very angry with Cui Yue's guards. "Because Cui Yue's guards failed to protect His Majesty well, Mama Bi didn't want to deal with Cui Yue for a few days, and Cui Yue's guards were not very optimistic about their injuries.

"Mama Bi is so stupid." Li Wei sighed secretly, "If Cui Yue really dies because of protecting me, won't Mama be even more sad?" Wouldn't I be sadder? Mama hopes that each of us will be safe and unharmed, and that we will spend every day happily, which is exactly what we want. But she herself is not happy, so why should she ask others to make her happy in peace? "I actually hope they both are okay."

Duo Neng tilted his head and thought for a while, he didn't understand much about His Majesty's words, but he would find an opportunity to convey His Majesty's thoughts to Mama Bi, of course, he had to pretend to be unintentional and obscure, otherwise Mama Bi would definitely be unhappy.

There was a time, as the little followers around His Majesty, they had to figure out their minds, and they also knew how to make things more beautiful. A girl with the whole country on her shoulders, who of them is not distressed to help when she sees it?

Hey, who is here, can Duo look at the person coming from the path, Lu Shangshu?

Duo Neng gestured to Lu Xiao and asked him not to come over and disturb His Majesty quietly. Lu Xiao paused, the newly changed Shangshu official robe made him a little more noble than usual, seeing that Duo Neng gestured obviously unwilling for him to pass, he had to stand in place for a while, until Li Wei came back to his senses, turned his head to see him, and smiled at him.

Lu Xiao took a step forward and came to her side.

Duo was able to step back a few steps away, not going far, but not wanting to get in the way of the conversation. If the person who came was Lord Regent, he could leave directly, but if it was someone else, he had to stand in a place where His Majesty could see him.

"But are you tired and tired?" Lu Xiao habitually stood beside her, and took the wheelchair handle at this time, "But do you want to walk around, or go back to the hall to rest?" ”

"Well, let's just walk around."

The wheelchair rolled, slowly walking along the path, there was wind, the fragrance of flowers and grass blowing, she squinted a little sleepily, feeling that this kind of life seemed to be next to the mountain hut Qingxi, she could hear the sound of gurgling water, she sat on the bluestone, and Guan Qianyi was going into the water to catch fish, which made her a little confused. However, Lu Xiao's voice made her suddenly come back to her senses.

"Your Majesty, on the day of the day, do you want to choose a male waiter?" Lu Xiao mentioned a sentence, and seeing that she didn't answer, he added, "Weichen, as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, has just taken office, and there may be many things that he doesn't understand, so His Majesty should mention it from time to time." ”

Li Wei was stunned again: Yes, Lu Xiao is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, but she almost forgot about this stubble. In this way, he will definitely be in charge of her ceremony, and seeing how he looks forward to it, she wants to abolish this ceremony, because it is too complicated and troublesome.

"I don't want to hold a ceremony. This is originally a private matter, why should I bring it to the court? Didn't the father's weak crown not hold a ceremony back then? So what kind of coming-of-age ceremony of mine can also be omitted, right? ”

"But the first emperor missed the gift of the weak crown because he was on the way to the battle."

"That's right, my father missed the weak crown because of state affairs, which shows that he cares about state affairs. I'm also very busy now, and there are still a lot of state affairs that I can't deal with, so I won't be able to do my best to give you a gift. ”

Lu Xiao couldn't cry or laugh for a while, "Your Majesty, don't be reckless in this matter." ”

"I have worked hard for the state and canceled my birthday celebration, why not! Well, how happily decided. Brother Lu Xiao's first task when he took office was to help me plan well and deal with those diehards in the court. Li Wei gave herself a few applause, and her mind suddenly felt much lighter.

"If His Majesty wishes, the minister must obey the order. But the minister wanted to ask His Majesty a question, is His Majesty's reluctance to hold a ceremony because he doesn't like this day, or does he not like to hold a big celebration? Or maybe you don't want to choose a waitress on your side? ”

Li Wei: ...... Lu Xiao can really ask, to the point.

"I don't want to make a big deal, and I don't want to choose a male waiter."

Lu Xiao paused, and was silent for a moment before saying, "Your Majesty, Wei Chen, in fact, I hope to follow His Majesty's side, not as a courtier. (To be continued.) )
