The wheel of history keeps moving forward every second, whether people want it or not, it has been turning non-stop. This day is the second day of the second month of February in the twenty-fifth year of Hongtai, and the procession to participate in the sacrifice in the prayer hall is mighty and continuous, and the scene is extremely spectacular. In the temple, the veils hung down to the ground, the candles were bright, and the yellow flags were full of scriptures.

The rituals of the sacrifice are extremely complex.

The Sanreiro of Taijoji Temple tirelessly reads the obscure astronomy of the festival.

The monk of the Zuo Chan sect of the Sanglu Division presided over the Dharma sacrifice.

The high-ranking Emperor Hongtai was dressed in the most solemn crown in the ceremonial system, holding a jade gui, covering his knees, a big belt, and a big ribbon, and took the lead in kneeling and kowtowing reverently to show his awe of God. And the princes and grandsons of the next head, civil and military officials, princes and princes also arranged according to their ranks, the emperor knelt, they also knelt, one by one in the lengthy sacrificial text of Zanlilang, kowtowed deeply.

Everybody is religious.

No matter how many evil things you have done on weekdays, how many innocent people you have hurt. At this moment, these incumbents of the highest authority of the Dayan Dynasty all believed that their sincerity could move the heavens, and when they were sacrificing, it was also the only time when they could connect with the gods, and no one dared to be religious.

Most people at the time believed in ghosts and gods, from the emperor to the common people.

At the beginning of the summer, he knelt in the crowd in a regular manner, and the corner of his eyes looked forward from time to time, wanting to see where Zhao Zhu was. After last night's "-one-book-reading-small-talking-pearl knotting" and "hugging and sleeping", she felt that there seemed to be something different between her and him. In the past, the two were half joking and half true, and they were always a little hazy, and no one had ever opened their hearts and talked about their feelings.

Last night's "knotted hair", she knew it, he understood.

He braided the knot with his own hands, which was naturally a response.

Touching the "hair knot" wrapped in lotus in her arms, she can't wait to see the handsome figure like every girl who wants to see her sweetheart when she is in love. However, although there were no female dependents to participate in today's sacrifice, there were also a lot of people in the main hall, and she, as the last of the old emperor's n concubines, was too far away from Zhao Zhu, and there were many people in between.

It seems like a century has passed......

When she was almost bored from sleep, the sacrifice was finally over.

A person surnamed Li, who was in charge of the sacrifice in Taichang Temple, came over and said, please take a break, change your clothes, and then go to the imperial field on the side of Yinchun Garden, and at noon, the ploughing ceremony will be held on time.

To be honest, if it hadn't been for such a time, Xia Chuqi would have had no idea that plowing was so exquisite. The Great Yan Dynasty is extremely particular about costumes at all levels, the sacrificial clothes are worn during the sacrifice, and when you go to plow the fields, you naturally can't pretend to be this, whether it is the old emperor or the civil and military officials, you need to change your clothes first.

When he went to the apse to change clothes, Xia Chuqi didn't see Zhao Bottle.

But along the way, she became the focus of the crowd.

Whether it is out of curiosity or wait-and-see, everyone wants to see her, the good medical officer of the Waijin Palace, who has long been famous in the Waijin Palace, plus the unmarried concubine of Princess Ziyue. It's a rare opportunity for her to appear in front of everyone, and it's just a 100% eye-catching rough stone.

Everyone has a different vision and has their own thoughts.

At the beginning of the summer, when he couldn't see those people, he didn't squint, accompanied by Li Miao, and changed into a set of regular clothes that had been prepared a long time ago. Plain texture, red clothes, wearing a golden hairpin, no belt around the waist, with his slightly thin figure, not as rigid as a man, but there is a unique style.

"Is it pretty?" She raised her arms and asked Li Miao with a smile.

"Not bad." Li Miao looked at her, still with a cold face.

"Huh. That's good......"

Once a woman has someone in her heart, she will always pay special attention to her appearance, and she wants to see that person all the time, want to stay with him, even if she can't do anything, it's good to take a look. After a few turns outside the towering Qifeng Palace, she didn't see Zhao Zhu, she got into the carriage of the palace, and prepared to go to Yinchun Garden in advance to wait.

The weather is warm today, and the scenery near Yinchun Garden is very good.

Yutian is just outside the Yinchun Garden, looking at it from afar, it is a large piece of neat and flat land that winds out of a small stream, exactly like the word "Tian". Because the emperor is going to plough the fields today, everything that should be prepared has been prepared, and the Praetorian Guards on duty can be seen patrolling back and forth with waist knives all the way, and the nail armor is touching the "sonorous" sound endlessly.

"The air is so good, I have to take two more breaths of oxygen......"

Xia Chuqi stretched out his arms, closed his eyes slightly, and took a deep breath, feeling very pleasant.

"Chu Qi, look over there."

As soon as Li Miao pointed at it, Xia Chuqi's eyes lit up.

It was a small garden in the Yinchun Garden. The garden is very secluded, on the low wall of blue bricks and stones, there are a few branches of plum blossoms that poke out through the wall, this seasonal plum blossom basically fails, and the few residual plums look particularly attractive, which suddenly makes her have a feeling of "a red plum out of the wall".

"It's so beautiful. Let's go, let's see. ”

At the beginning of the summer, the seven hearts were up, and after leading Li Miao, he strode over. Entering the small arched door, I saw the remnants of the plum blossoms, and suddenly felt that this scenery was more meaningful than when the plum blossoms were in their heyday. She didn't speak, shuttling between the flowers and leaves, full of joy to see the broken petals shining in the skylight, only to feel that this small courtyard seemed to be a paradise.

"What if...... Will you never see me? …… Recall...... It's been planned for so long...... Why turn a blind eye...... In the world, only the suffering that cannot be sought is the great suffering...... Trapped in that square inch...... ...... for you No regrets in this life......"

An intermittent voice came slowly, startling Xia Chuqiyi.

Of course, this was not what she said, but a female voice that seemed to be like a jade falling from a clear spring, slowly coming from the depths of Merlin. The voice was full and affectionate, soft and moving, as if it was a whisper to a lover, and it sounded particularly good.

It was too far away for her to hear too clearly.

But Yinchun Garden is a royal garden, and the people who can appear in this place are either the ladies of the palace or the wives of the inner and outer lives.

Could it be that someone's daughter-in-law is cheating here?

Glancing at Li Miao, she was considering whether to retreat or advance, and with a "brush" in Merlin, a person flew out of the oblique thorn, and the sound of clothes and swords breaking through the air was very harsh.

Li Miao's movements were sensitive, and without saying a word, he blocked in front of her and greeted her.

"Is that you?"

"Is that you?"

A male voice, a female voice, and two questions in unison made the two people who were questioning stared, and some of them couldn't react, and Xia Chuqi's eyes suddenly condensed, and his back stiffened.

Chen Jing?!

If he is here, then Zhao Zun will also be here.

So that soft female voice just now was talking to him?

His heart twitched hard for no reason, and Xia Chuqi curled the corners of his mouth and looked at Chen Jing.

"Lord Chen, can Your Highness be inside?"

"Chu ...... Master Ma ......: "Chen Jing has always been a man whose face does not change when Mount Tai collapses in front of him. But at this moment, Xia Chuqi, who was stunned by the gorgeous clothes in front of him, suddenly appeared, he was a little stunned, he didn't know how to answer, and his tall body froze there.

"But it's inconvenient to say?" Xia Chuqi asked calmly again.

"Yes......" Chen Jing's Adam's apple slid and clasped his hands together to make a gesture towards him.

"Lord Chen is here to watch the wind for His Highness?" Xia Chuqi hooked his lower lip, and his eyes swept Merlin again.

"No, it's not." Chen Jing has always been loyal, but he is not used to lying. His eyes drifted for a moment, and he didn't look at Xia Chuqi's eyes again, but lowered his head slightly.

Looking at him with a glittering gaze, Xia Chuqi's ears "buzzed", and his legs and feet were a little weak. She couldn't think about what it was like, but her voice was a little hoarse.

"Lord Chen, who is the woman talking to His Highness?"

She asked very calmly, but Chen Jing's face changed, but he didn't mean to answer her. Seeing this, Xia Chuqi took a look at the remnant plum on the branch, no longer chattered with him, and was about to walk into the plum forest, but Chen Jing, who had always been respectful to her, stretched out his sword scabbard and suddenly blocked her way.

"Master Pony, you can't go in."

Can't you?

The seven night pearls that are brighter than the moonlight are not finished, the two strands of hair with a faint fragrance are still tightly entangled, those words are still floating in the ears, and the body that has been tightly embraced by him has not yet cooled, but in just a few hours, is it possible to change the world?

As soon as his breathing was tight, Xia Chuqi felt that his eye circles were hot.

"Get out of the way."

"Master Horse-" Chen Jing blocked and raised his voice.

With a light "oh", how could Xia Chuqi not know that he was "warning"? Hooking her lower lip with a smile, she asked, "Could it be that His Highness is cheating on which girl in it, for fear of being seen?" If that's the case, then the horse can really go in and take a look, such a rarity, but it's rare in a hundred years, isn't it a pity not to see it? ”

She is a stubborn person, but Chen Jing is even more stubborn than her.

Seeing that Li Miao was about to use force with Chen Jing again, on the way in the small garden, there was another burst of human voices, and soon a group of about a dozen people came over slowly. The person at the beginning was very unlucky, it was King Ning, whom he hadn't seen for a long time at the beginning of the summer. On King Ning's side, in addition to the subordinates, there were several men she didn't know, looking at the clothes on their bodies, she guessed that they might also be the sons of Emperor Hongtai.

"Chu Concubine, what's the matter here?" Ning Wang Zhao Xi was the first to ask with a smile.

Dispute......?

Xia Chuqi beat inexplicably in his heart, squinted his eyes slightly, put away those unhappy emotions, and saluted them first, before he responded with a smile.

"His Royal Highness King Ning is joking, how can there be any dispute? I'm here to enjoy the plum blossoms. ”

"Could it be that the king is mistaken?" Zhao Tuo glanced into the depths of Merlin, and a meaningful smile appeared in his eyes, "Chu Concubine, the old nineteen is not here?" ”

Looking at the expressions of King Ning and those princes, Xia Chuqi didn't know in his heart that Chen Jing was blocking the women she wouldn't let her see, and she couldn't let these princes see them.

Her heart felt like a lump of cotton, and she was very uncomfortable.

But before things were clarified, she wasn't so stingy that she didn't help Zhao Zhu because of this.

Suppressing the sour idea in her heart, she smiled brightly and said in a deliberate tone.

"His Highness Nineteen went to pick plum blossoms for me, and I will be back soon."

If Zhao Zhu was not there, they would definitely not believe it, this was the best excuse she could think of at the moment. When these people are blocked here, whether to transfer people or destroy the "evidence", she believes that with Zhao Zhu's shrewdness, she can do a good job.

"Huh, really? Chu and Lao Nineteen are really ......"

King Ning was very ambiguous and "hehe" two pieces, a pair of ruthless eyes as if a detector had been installed, looked her up and down, and then turned back to Zhao Kai to look at each other, and with a flick of the hem of his clothes, he was about to break in.

"His Royal Highness King Ning—" Xia Chuqi blocked the way, but before she could exit, a person came out of the depths of the Merlin. Dressed in a black eight-treasure moire brocade robe, his steps were calm and gentle, and his cold gaze contained a hint of majesty full of coldness.

What does not match his image is that he really holds a bouquet of delicate plum blossoms in his hand.

Walking over, he glanced at those few people and handed the plum blossom to the seventh day of the summer month.

"Look, do you still like these branches?"

The warmth of the red plum lining his body added some warmth to his originally cold face, just like the rippling waves in the soup spring pool under the pearl last night, which went straight into the heart of Xia Chuqi.

Looking at him, she slowly pulled away her smile, took Hongmei to her nose and sniffed it gently, sighed intoxicatedly, deliberately showed affection, and said with a red face, "Your Highness Nineteen has worked hard." ”

"Stupid."

Under the thoughtful and ambiguous gaze of those princes, Zhao Zhu gently patted her shoulder, pinched her fingertips silently, and then turned her head indifferently.

"Your royal brothers are also here to enjoy the plum blossoms?"

"Yes, after this flowering period, we can only wait for next year to see the plum. The plum blossoms in this Yinchun Garden, every year are the last to wither, today I also came to take a look, I didn't expect it, but it was with the old nineteen and the horse master did not agree? ”

The person who spoke was none other than Emperor Hongtai's second son, King An, Zhao Shu, who laughed and finished speaking, but Zhao Dong, the slightly thin Hunan King on the left side of King Ning, took over and added as if he was deliberately disgusting.

"I didn't think that the old nineteen would also be interested in appreciating plums? I thought I was hiding inside to meet my old lover? Ha ha! ”

Zhao Dong's words just hit Xia Chuqi's sore spot.

Curling the corners of her lips, she lifted a vague smile, and looked at Zhao Zhu with a smile, trying to see a little uncomfortable on his face. It's a pity that this man has always been as high as the cold moon in the sky, how can a mortal like her understand it?

Glancing at Xia Chuqi, he seemed to be careless about what those people thought, and said indifferently.

"Smell the fragrance and make your hands, and pity people to step up the spring steps. Human. ”

As soon as this crepe sentence came into his ears, Xia Chuqi "admired" him even more.

It seems that the Nineteenth Master can not only dominate the battlefield and crisscross the world, even if he takes off his robe one day and goes to take a fame or something, he will definitely be able to win the champion.

Those masters probably didn't expect him to admit it directly, and glanced at each other, but King Ning snorted again, and laughed loudly, "The nineteenth brother has been fighting horses for many years, and it is rare to go back to Jingshi, so you should enjoy it more." ”

"The third brother is afraid that he doesn't know, he has never been in the hometown of beauty, the hero's mound. If the nineteenth brother indulges in charm, I'm afraid that he will lose his fighting spirit and won't be able to go to the battlefield? Wouldn't that be my big loss! ”

"What the brothers teach is ......," Zhao Tuo said lightly, and suddenly raised his eyebrows again, "It's just that my father has so many sons, and without my nineteenth child, aren't there still all the royal brothers?" Which one is not a pillar of great responsibility? ”

He spoke slowly and lightly, but there were thorns in every word.

Why did Emperor Hongtai have so many sons, and only he was a great general king? Obviously, these people are greedy and afraid of death, or they don't have the ability to go to war?

At the beginning of the summer, Qidong watched the fire and watched these sons of Emperor Hong Tai politely "borrowing things to sarcastically mock people", and also listened to the poisonous tongue of the nineteenth master who was always high in chess but light and light, and his mood became more and more depressed.

If there weren't so many people around, she would definitely ask Zhao Zhu...... Who is that woman?

It's a pity that I haven't looked for an opportunity yet.

Soon someone came to greet him, and the ploughing ceremony was about to begin.

A group of princes took their subordinates to go together, out of Merlin, out of Yinchun, and went to Yutian and Yunyun together. The doubts in Xia Chuqi's heart and the fermented acid bubbles can only be buried in his heart all the time, and he can't tell what it tastes like.

"Ah Qi ......"

Zhao Zhu took a step behind and suddenly called her.

With an uneasy "ah", Xia Chuqi looked up at him, and he was also looking at her quietly, and he didn't say anything for a long time. The wind blew over the side of the stream, gently unwinding the corners of his robe, and coldly squinting her eyes.

After a moment's hesitation, she walked away, "The ceremony is about to begin, let's go back in the evening." ”

The man had just walked past him, but he grabbed him by the wrist.

In front of everyone's eyes, how bold is he?

Xia Chuqi was shocked for a moment, and looked back at him, but those black eyes were bottomless.

Seeing that someone had already looked over, she struggled with her wrist and gave him a look.

"I'll talk about it when I get back to it."

Zhao Zhu's dark eyes narrowed slightly, and he pursed his lips.

Low, he let go of his hand as if "um", and walked in front of her.

Looking at his long and handsome back, Xia Chuqi stayed in place, and he was in a trance. It feels like she can't understand it, it's very complicated and tangled, if she says that she doesn't understand a sentence, for something that hasn't been figured out yet, she has an awkward relationship with Zhao Zhu, it's really too hypocritical, and she can't stand it herself. But she had to admit that there had always been some grievances in her heart.

"Chu Qi ......"

Li Miao touched her arm and shouted softly.

"Master Li is calling you over."

Light "ah", Xia Chuqi reacted at this time, Yutian was not far ahead, but she felt that she had no strength, took a step, her legs and feet were weak, she almost tripped over, but fortunately Li Miao supported her in time, so she didn't make a big joke.

"Be careful." Li Miao frowned, "Your face is very pale." ”

Bending the corners of her lips, she held back the emotion that overwhelmed her and smiled.

"Don't worry, no matter how pale my face is, I can't be as white as you."

“……”

Li Miao didn't answer, but she lost a few people, Xia Chuqi's depressed mood disappeared again, and her optimistic attitude supported her, and she quickly regained her emotions. What is she doing now? The emperor is in front of him, and the civil and military officials are also in front of him, how many pairs of eyes are staring at her, staring at Zhao Shijiu, no matter what, she can't lose her temper today.

On the edge of Mita, everything is ready.

After another burst of ceremonial music, I don't know what Nazan Lilang said, the ceremony was over, and only one part of the old emperor's own ploughing remained.

Soon, a buffalo with a big red ribbon around its neck came slowly. Behind the buffalo, there was a man dressed as a farmer, holding an iron plow, and following the speed of the buffalo, walking hesitantly, his eyes full of hesitation and evasion.

Faintly, Xia Chuqi looked at the tall figure, and his heart suddenly beat wildly.

Idiot!

The person dressed as a farmer could be a fool of Landa?

It's been a long time since she's seen him, and she really wants to rush over and ask if he's doing well.

It's a pity that standing in the middle of a group of people, not only can she not go up to recognize each other, but she also has to shrink her body back and shrink, not daring to let a fool see her. Lan Da is a fool who is not a person with a high mind, once he sees her, he will sell her with a "daughter-in-law".

Even if we want to recognize each other, it can't be now.

It seems that today's play was arranged by Ning Wang Zhao Xi?

Otherwise, how could a fool be here?

But she remembered that Zhao Zun promised her that she would definitely pay attention to the fool at any time, and when the time was right, she would naturally let them meet, and she would also let the fool recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors. Could it be that in addition to King Ning, Zhao Tuo also thinks that today is the best time?

In a panic, she subconsciously stepped back and found the crown prince Zhao Zhe in the crowd.

But I didn't see him when I sacrificed, and I still haven't seen him on the edge of the field today.

It seems that the prince has not been out of the East Palace for a long time, and he is no longer used to the days outside. Today's such a good day, Zhao Mianze still didn't convince him to come out for a walk.

Suddenly, she had some regrets.

How happy it would be if he came to see his own son for the first time......

Thinking of Zhao Zhe's kind and gentle thin face, her heart was sour.

The old monk burned incense on the edge of the imperial field, and said some words about the ploughing ceremony, she didn't hear it too clearly, only to see the fool who had been paying attention to the movement and moving around very uncomfortable, and then watched the old emperor roll up his sleeves, and took the plow handle from the fool's hand, and was about to start his first plow this spring, to show the beginning of farming.

However, at this moment, King Ning suddenly stepped forward and interjected in front of the civil and military people.

"Father, who do you think this farmer looks like?"

If it weren't for King Ning's reminder, Emperor Hongtai's eyes wouldn't have looked at Lan Da fool at all. In this way, he frowned and glared at King Ning with a slight displeasure, as if he interrupted the ceremony with a little disgust. However, his gaze naturally fell on the fool's honest black face.

There was silence all around.

The officials held their breath and were silent.

But on the seventh day of the summer month, the heartbeat was getting faster and faster.

When she first saw the crown prince Zhao Zhe, although he was already too thin to be human, she still vaguely saw a bit of a fool in his facial features. If you talk about it like this, then the eyebrows, eyes and facial features of a fool should be a little like Zhao Zhe when he was young, right?

The sound of "pounding" was her heartbeat.

But time passed very slowly, as if it had been a long time before I could hear the voice of Emperor Hongtai.

"Who is he?"

As soon as King Ning heard his father's words, he immediately blossomed with joy, and he didn't care about the mud on the ground, he invited merit, and knelt in front of the old emperor with a "plop" sound, and told him excitedly, "Go back to my father, he is Mianhuan!" ”

"Mianhuan?" Emperor Hong Tai's eyes were stunned and he retreated.

"Yes, he's Mianze. It's your eldest grandson, Mianhuan! ”

The old emperor's hand on the plough trembled slightly, and his eyes slowly looked at the unknown fool.

"Are you really Mianhuan?"

At this moment, the Lan Da fool was completely frightened by the battle in front of him, and looked at the majestic old man in front of him in shock, he lowered his head, rubbed the corners of his clothes back and forth with a pair of hands, and muttered stupidly.

"I'm Lan Dazhu."

Hearing him deny it, and his tone was stupid, Emperor Hong Taidi's eyes shrank. Immediately put down the plow handle, turned around, and looked at Zhao Xi coldly.

"Third child, what's going on?"

King Ning still knelt on the ground, listening to the old emperor's inquiry, his face was crying with joy, and the voice was almost uncontrollable, so that Xia Chuqi, who was watching the fire from the other side, really looked like awarding him an "Oscar" award.

"Back to my father, the last time I went to Jincheng Mansion to pick up the nineteenth brother back to Beijing, I accidentally found that this person was somewhat similar to the eldest brother. But Mianhuan was ...... back then has already died, and Erchen didn't think about it. But later, Erchen inadvertently saw the birthmark on Mianhuan's lower back. The birthmark was remembered clearly, and the shape and color were unusual. With so many coincidences coming together, Erchen moved his mind and found the nurse Liu who was waiting for Mianhuan back then, and she has really been taking care of Mianhuan all these years...... Only then did Erchen dare to be sure and brought Mianze back to Jingshi......"

After King Ning finished chokingly, Emperor Hongtai's face was already cold.

"Since you have already entered Beijing, why haven't you reported it for a long time?"

King Ning arched his hand and said, "Father, when I took Mianhuan back, Erchen learned some about the past from the mouth of the Liu family...... Mianhuan mistakenly took the poisonous decoction of the traitor, and there were some problems in his brain. Erchen originally wanted to cure him first, and then report to his father that he knew, but now he has taken several decoctions, but there is no improvement. In desperation, Erchen thought of taking advantage of this good day of the Neutralization Festival to bring Mianhuan to meet his father and give his father a surprise......"

Mistakenly ingested a poisonous decoction? Something wrong with your brain?

An emperor's eldest grandson, who had been dead for more than ten years, suddenly came back to life. In addition, there are words in King Ning's words, and the reason for "drugging" is complicated. The officials and relatives present, everyone was fighting a belly lawsuit, speculating about the truth of the year, but these people were all swimming fish mixed out of the muddy water, like human spirits, and none of them showed the slightest discoloration on their faces.

Emperor Hong Tai's old eyes were already full of emotion.

Step by step, he approached the fool, looked at it carefully, and raised his hand.

"Kid, show me the birthmark on your waist......"

As soon as he heard this, the fool was even more frightened, and he shook his head while covering his clothes.

"Nope."

"Huh? Why not? "Emperor Hong Tai rarely coaxed him with a good temper.

The fool's eyelids blinked a few times, and his face turned red, but he still bit his lower lip and kept his head drooping, not looking at anyone, and refusing to say anything. Emperor Hong Tai sighed helplessly, patted him on the shoulder again, like a grandfather who loved his grandson, and asked twice more softly, before he cautiously raised his head and hooked his hand at Emperor Hong Tai.

"You put your ear over and I'll tell you quietly."

Emperor Hong Tai was slightly stunned and paused, but he didn't care about his imperial dignity, he was really in front of everyone, tilted his head, and put his ears in front of the fool.

"I told you that you were a man, and you are not allowed to tell anyone. The third aunt said that no matter who came to ask, they were not allowed to say it. If I tell others, my little ** will fly away......"

With a low "ah", Emperor Hong Tai straightened up.

He was stunned for a moment, and then, he smiled heartily.

"You kid, okay, okay, grandpa won't look at it first, don't look at it first......"

Laughing twice, Emperor Hong Tai seemed to be in a very good mood, and no longer forced him, but only turned his head and ordered Cui Yingda.

"Take him down and set him up, and when the ploughing ceremony is over, I will interrogate him carefully."

"Yes, Hooray—"

Cui Yingda bowed and led the fool down, and the plow that had been forked continued. But the atmosphere was noticeably different from before. Under the guidance of the guards, the old emperor ploughed the fields seriously, but the people on the fields had their own thoughts.

You must know that Zhao Mianhuan's identity is the eldest grandson of the emperor, if he was drugged and stupid, then why did he drown back then, and why did he leave the palace for more than ten years and not return? These will bring out a string of secrets, and even cause a bloody storm.

Moreover, Zhao Mianhuan is the eldest grandson.

When he was a child, Zhao Mianhuan was clever and cute, smart and well-behaved, and he was very liked by the old emperor and the crown prince. After his violent death, Emperor Hongtai, who had always been diligent in government, once dismissed the dynasty for three days, and Zhao Zhe was sad and sad for a while.

Later, Zhao Zhe corrected Zhao Mianze's mother, and Zhao Mianze was originally a concubine, so he naturally became a concubine. In order to avoid the old emperor and the crown prince being uncomfortable, no one mentioned Zhao Mianhuan anymore, and they all directly called Zhao Mianze the eldest grandson of the emperor, so in this era of "the elder must be the heir", Zhao Mianhuan, who could have been the prince in the future, was annihilated in the history scrolls like that, leaving only a short sentence.

"The eldest son Mianhuan, the mother concubine Chang, died in the eleventh year of Hongtai, and was posthumously named King Yihuai."

And yet—

Now it's different, the eldest grandson of the emperor, who died at the age of eight, came back, not to mention, but also brought back an almost earth-shattering "secret", no one could have predicted how much of a storm this secret would set off in the future.

Because, no one can guess the old emperor's thoughts.

The reason why Zhao Xi, the king of Ning, chose the day of the Zhonghe Festival to send Zhao Mianhuan back, naturally it was not as simple as fulfilling filial piety and giving surprises.

What he wants is to expose Zhao Mianhuan to the civil and military officials and princes and nobles, and he can't let anyone, including the unpredictable old emperor, have the opportunity to hide him again. Even if a fool can't be a prince, but he is a real son-in-law, with him, then Zhao Mianze's status will be very embarrassing.

Just when everyone was pregnant with ghosts, Xia Chuqi glanced at Zhao Mianze intentionally or unintentionally.

On the edge of Mita, his clothes fluttering, and he still had a quiet and gentle smile on his face.

Sure enough, people who play politics are all "ghosts" -

The old emperor ploughed the fields, naturally just a formality, meaning meaning.

In less than a quarter of an hour, he was ashore.

After the event in Mitanabe, a small banquet followed.

The so-called "small banquet" is compared to the "big banquet" to be held in the Fengtian Temple in the evening. The Son of Heaven ploughed the fields, and the civil and military officials and their sons and grandchildren also rubbed together for so long, and it was already past noon, everyone was still hungry, and they had a light meal in one place, and everyone chatted casually, which was called a "small banquet".

The small banquet was arranged in the Yinchun Garden.

Before the small banquet, the old emperor had already verified the fool's identity. As for the "truth of the year", how he wants to investigate, whether he will investigate it or not, there is no tone to reveal it. It's just that the old emperor got back the emperor's eldest grandson, and he was very interested, and he sent someone to add a chair at the small banquet and let the fool sit beside him, but he didn't make an order to change Zhao Mianhuan's nickname of "King Yihuai" to a title.

At the small banquet with light clouds, fruit refreshments on the table, delicacies and wines, gentlemen and ministers drinking together, brothers, friends and brothers, each talking and laughing, the peace covered up the undercurrent of the undercurrent, only showing a strange harmony.

The old emperor sent someone to the East Palace to deliver the news.

The person who replied said that the prince was so happy that he said that he was going to prepare, and he would come over in person.

In fact, after recovering the emperor's eldest grandson, Zhao Zhecai should be the happiest one.

Listening to everyone's emotional voices and toasts, Xia Chuqi has always been hidden in the crowd as if she did not exist, buried in the table, and ate slowly, for fear that the fool would suddenly call her and cause a big disaster.

Between the mixed thoughts, Baiwei passed through it in his heart, and then passed it again.

In front of her was a golden bottle and jade bowl, but she still didn't eat it.

However, from time to time, I peeked at Zhao Zhu, but saw that his indifferent expression was still the same, his face was still expressionless, and he sat there casually, with a cold and noble posture, as if he had never worried about any emergencies at all.

The man was indeed calm.

No, actually, everyone here is very calm.

Emperor Hongtai, the emperor of the emperor, has always been kind and pleasant, smiling, and rejoicing with his subordinates.

Zhao Mianze's identity is embarrassing, but he always smiles like a spring breeze, and his face is warm as usual.

The princes and grandsons, although they are different, do not damage the demeanor of the nobles of the heavenly family.

The Governor of the East, who was dressed in red and overwhelmed the world, was still so bewitching and gorgeous, that King Ning's eyes couldn't help but aim in his direction.

And the civil and military people who sat with them were toasting and clinking lamps, so lively.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has something to do."

After a sudden shout, a bearded old man with a square face, dressed in a first-class official robe, and about fifty years old, walked out of the seat, knelt in the middle, and said loudly to Emperor Hong Tai.

"Today, the emperor's eldest grandson has been found, which is the great joy of the country. The old minister was happy, but he thought of a mistake he had made...... If you are stuck in your throat, you won't vomit unpleasantly! ”

Emperor Hong Tai's gaze, which was originally smiling, moved to the man and smiled.

"Chengguo Gong is exempt from courtesy, today you and I are at the same table, you don't have to be so restrained, sit down and talk about it if you have something."

The people who can be named "dukes" in the Dayan Dynasty are basically the merits of fighting on the battlefield and fighting with blood. In addition, no matter how big the achievement is, it is just a marquis and a bonus. But although this Chengguo Gong Hongchou is a person with high merits, he is indifferent to fame and fortune by nature, and although his prestige in the court is high, he has never formed a party for personal gain, and has always won the heart of Emperor Hongtai.

However, now that the old emperor asked him to get up, he couldn't afford it, and he still stubbornly knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has committed the crime of bullying the king, and the old minister does not dare to ......"

With a light "oh", Emperor Hong Taidi glanced at him coldly.

"You and I want to hear about it?"

Yuan Hongchou wiped his old eyes, kowtowed again, and said, "Sixteen years ago, the old minister was ordered to go to Liaodong, and he had to meet a beautiful woman, who originally wanted to be included in the account as a concubine, but the woman was quite high-minded and not close to the old minister. The old minister was angry and forced her to be in the military tent, and the later division returned to the court, but abandoned her again. But she didn't want to, when the old minister left, she had already married the baby and gave birth to a daughter for the old minister...... After that, she was not allowed by her family, and took her young and female children to beg for a living, and wandered in Jincheng Mansion, but she still died of depression and died in Puzhao Temple. Poor Lao Chen's daughter, she suffered a lot at a young age, but fortunately she met Master Dao Chang and did Dharma to surpass her, and unfortunately she knew about this bad fate. That's when I brought my poor daughter into the capital and reunited with the old ministers......"

It's a story that's even more exciting than the one I made up.

Xia Chuqi heard it in his ears, but his heart was a little weird.

It is Daochang again, Jincheng Mansion again, and Puzhao Temple again.

Wouldn't it be that coincidental?

She had doubts in her heart, but Emperor Hong Tai sighed with emotion, stroked his beard and smiled.

"In this way, it is a great joy, why does Aiqing say that he is a bully?"

Cheng Guogong's face was slightly embarrassed, and he lowered his eyelids, "The old minister has many wives and concubines, but he has never been pregnant, so he got His Majesty's grace and passed You'er to the old minister as the queen...... Now that the old minister has been out for a long time, but he has raised a daughter, isn't it just a bully? The old minister was very frightened, and asked His Majesty to punish him. ”

Haha laughed, Emperor Hong Tai got back the emperor's eldest grandson today, and he was in a good mood, so Cui Yingda called the Taoist monk to come over for questioning, and soon, the figure of the dark color cloth appeared in everyone's sight.

Sure enough, the answer of the monk is no different from that of Chengguo Gong.

When Emperor Hong Tai heard this, he was happy, how could he care about this?

"That's it, Aiqing, this is a good thing, a good thing. Today is my great joy, and it is also your great joy. Come, come and toast me with a glass of water and wine, and this matter will be revealed. ”

"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty......"

Yuan Hongchou bowed sincerely in fear, but did not go over to toast, but continued to kneel on the ground, and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister still has a reluctant request, I hope Your Majesty will approve it." ”

"Oh, tell me about it."

"Your Majesty, the old minister's daughter is sixteen years old, her temperament and temperament are excellent, she is sensitive and gentle, she has reached the age of marriage, and the old minister wants to ask Your Majesty to give her a ...... marriage."

"Marriage?" The old emperor's eyes narrowed, "Who does Aiqing want to give Ling Ai to?" ”

Among the many princes of Emperor Hongtai, there is only one person who has not yet married.

It was almost a conditioned reflex, and Xia Chuqi's heart suddenly rose to his throat.

Like her, everyone's eyes fell on Yuan Hongchou.

He paused, looked at Zhao Zhu, who was sitting in the position with the same expression, and bowed his hand.

"The old minister wants to ask His Majesty to marry the little girl to the prince of Jin."

The field suddenly fell silent, and it was almost audible that a pin had fallen.

Everyone knows that the king of Jin gave marriage three times, and then died three times. The daughter of the Song family of the Marquis of Zhanglie died violently before she could get married, which is also a well-known thing. Now that this Chengguo Gong Hongchou has just found his beloved daughter, he actually dares to ask for a decree to be given to the prince of Jin, what does that mean?

Everyone's hearts were shocked, and even Emperor Hong Tai's face that had been smiling all the time became solemn.

I don't know what he considered, he glanced at Zhao Zhu, and then looked at Yuan Hongchou.

"Aiqing has thought about everything?"

"The prince of Jin is a bloody man, his character is valuable, and the old minister has admired him for a long time. Now I have the cheekiness to climb this family business with Your Majesty, and I hope that Your Majesty will complete it. ”

Without an immediate response, Emperor Hong Taidi looked at Zhao Zhu again.

"Old Nineteen, your marriage has been full of twists and turns, and I have never asked you carefully if you want to. Today's marriage is personally requested by the Duke of Chengguo, and I promise it, but although the marriage is a major event, although the parents are in charge, today I want to hear your opinion. ”

Listen to him?

The heart that Xia Chuqi lifted fell again.

I guess he's going to refuse, right?

After all, what kind of Chengguo Gong's daughter, he hadn't even seen it face-to-face, so how could he agree indiscriminately?

But in the next moment, an extremely low and careless voice came to her ears like thunder.

"Marriage is a major event, but it is up to the father to decide."
