Chapter Twenty-Three: Watching the Play

Thinking of this, Huang Qiong, who was still a little flustered when facing himself for the first time before, calmed down. Since there is no other way to go, instead of thinking about it in fear, what should the emperor Lao Tzu do with himself, it is better to face it generously.

Although she hated the cumbersome etiquette of this era, Huang Qiong still relied on the etiquette and bowed three times and nine bows to herself, the emperor Lao Tzu, in a regular manner. It wasn't until there was a sound in front of me that I stood up. His eyes were not level, and he stood aside with a respectful look as he lowered slightly. If the emperor doesn't speak, he still knows the rules that he can't speak.

However, when Huang Qiong was doing the etiquette, she really couldn't bear the curiosity in her heart, and when she got up, she quickly glanced at the middle-aged man in his forties who was sitting behind the bookcase and wearing a bright yellow robe. For Huang Qiong, this glance is not so much to see her father, who she has never met in her life, but to see what the ancient Chinese emperor really looked like.

It's just that after this glance, Huang Qiong was somewhat disappointed. The appearance of his emperor Lao Tzu is at most ordinary, and the word handsome has absolutely nothing to do with it. It's just that as the Ninety-Five, the momentum on his body is incomparable to ordinary people, and it looks terrifying.

At least in Huang Qiong's opinion, the appearance of him, the emperor Laozi, really ruined a temperamental beauty like his mother. But he is the emperor, the first person in the world. Although he looks ordinary, he has supreme power and endless wealth. This is enough to make the beauties of the world throw themselves into their arms.

Huang Qiong was thinking nonsense here, and the emperor after signaling Huang Qiong to get up over there, the first sentence was not to Huang Qiong, but to King Yong: "What kind of system do you think you have become?" Tell you how many times to let you read well. Don't fool around with those people in the market all day, when have you ever heard of it? Why did you go last night? Don't tell me that you don't get up until you receive the decree. ”

The anger in the emperor's tone was obvious, but it was obvious that the Yongwang opposite him was not too concerned. After scratching his scalp almost habitually, King Yong replied: "Father, the son did not go out to fool around last night, but read more sage books and comprehend the teachings of sages according to your father's instructions. So I read a little late last night, so I woke up late today. ”

King Yong's answer, the emperor didn't know what the result was after hearing it, but Huang Qiong's heart was happy. From the previous conversation between the two people, Huang Qiong knew that this Yongwang was obviously not a reading material. I also read too late last night, I'm afraid I drank all night. When I first arrived, I still smelled of alcohol all over my body.

Still reading? If I believe you, that person is either a fool or two hundred and five. You kid made up a bad reason, even if it was a happy admission that you drank all night last night, you have to make up a book that you read all night, such a reason to obviously deceive a fool.

It's a pity that Huang Qiong's emperor Lao Tzu is not an idiot like Emperor Jin Hui, nor is he a person with a single head, on the contrary, he is still very shrewd. Otherwise, he would not be able to grasp the strength that is enough to compete under the noses of the ministers. In addition to this lie made up by this guy, it is too clumsy, and it is not difficult to expose him.

Sure enough, the emperor's subsequent reply also confirmed Huang Qiong's guess: "Do you really think I am so easy to fool? Study? When these words come out of your mouth, it really makes people laugh off their big teeth. What have you been doing in the sect all day long, don't you really know what I'm doing? ”

Hearing the emperor's anger, this Yongwang was also a little unjustified, and knelt down directly while kowtowing desperately, while admitting his mistake and saying: "The son knows that he is wrong, and he asks his father to forgive him." There was a bang, and even Huang Qiong on the side felt pain for him.

Just looking at the performance of the father and son, Huang Qiong did not persuade him, and there was no expression on his face. From the conversation between the father and son just now, Huang Qiong could tell that this Yongwang's performance was not a day or two. And the emperor is obviously aware of this matter.

Since the usual lawlessness is not disciplined, but today it is disciplined in front of himself, the son who met for the first time, is there no article behind it? Maybe this Yongwang may not know the thoughts of his emperor Lao Tzu, but he is just passively cooperating.

But the emperor Lao Tzu of his own, I am afraid that he consciously took the chicken of King Yong to make a scene of killing chickens and monkeys, and showed it to his son, who met on the first day. After thinking about this matter, Huang Qiong was patient and quietly prepared to watch this scene.

If you don't watch the play seriously, how can you be worthy of the hard work of the emperor Lao Tzu? As for King Yong, although this kid looks extremely rude on the surface, Huang Qiong still thinks that this is definitely not the true side of this guy. Regardless of whether he actively cooperates or passively cooperates, since he has been chosen as a target, it will not hurt him to suffer more crimes.

After making up her mind, Huang Qiong did not deliberately show trembling for the not wonderful performance of the two of them. In Huang Qiong's opinion, it is a bit too fake, and it is better to perform in his true colors in the face of this scene. So he just stood there looking at his nose and his nose, and put on an indifferent look.

Huang Qiong obviously did not accept the performance, so that on the surface, the emperor who had been scolding King Yong, but in fact, had been secretly observing him, instantly lost interest in continuing, and waved his hand in the face of the scoundrel-like King Yong: "Okay, get up." Don't talk about you, and then pretend to be like this to show me. ”

"I warn you one last time today, that you are continuing to hang out with those unscrupulous people. Since I can give you the title of Prince, I can take it back at any time. When will you grow up a little bit, not because of the people on the street? Look at you, where is there still the bearing of the heavenly family? Remember, you are a prince and not a street gangster. ”

Hearing that the emperor let himself get up, King Yong immediately stood up, ignoring the black blue on his forehead, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your father's forgiveness of your sons, please rest assured, your sons' reprimands for your father's emperor have been kept in mind, and they will definitely change their past mistakes in the future." Since the father still wants to talk to the ninth brother, the minister will go back to study first. ”

It turns out that he really wants to use the surface to punish the dissolute Yongwang and play an emperor who kills chickens and monkeys for Huang Qiong. This time, I was really angry by this guy's words: "You get out of here and kneel and introspect yourself." Your business is not finished yet, and I will be looking for you to settle accounts in a while. ”

Seeing that Emperor Lao Tzu was angry again, King Yong, who just wanted to leave here as soon as possible, could only helplessly make a grimace at Huang Qiong, and honestly ran to the side and knelt down. Judging from this guy's movement proficiency, whether it is kowtowing or kneeling, I'm afraid it's not the first time.

Seeing this son such a scoundrel, the emperor could only cover his head with a headache, sighed slightly, and turned his gaze to another son in the hall who had never hugged him since he was born, let alone seen him. Just when he wanted to speak, he was a little embarrassed to find that he hadn't named this son yet.

Or they all say that the eunuchs around the emperor are the most clever and the most proficient. Seeing that the emperor's face was a little embarrassed, the father-in-law who had given Huang Qiong a decree and had stayed in the palace immediately guessed why the emperor was embarrassed. Hurriedly bowed down and whispered to the emperor Huang Qiong's name.

Of course, Huang Qiong is the prince, and this name must be given by the emperor, and then handed over to Zongzheng Temple to make a jade disc collection, before it is officially included in the family tree of the royal family. Except for the emperor himself, it is impossible for others to take it. Even Huang Qiong's mother does not have this right. Therefore, Huang Qiong's current name is at most a small name, and the royal family does not recognize it.

Hearing the personal eunuch tell him that he had never given the nickname of his son before, Huang Qiong's emperor Lao Tzu frowned slightly and said, "Qiong, Meiyu also." Vote for me with papaya, and repay it with Qiongju. Okay, that's a good name. Since your mother's name is good and meaningful, I don't deserve it. ”

"Your name is in this word. I think your mother only gave you a name, and she hasn't given you a word yet, so I will give you a word. You have lived in the cold palace with your mother for more than ten years, and you don't ask about the world. Mr. Jingjie of the Eastern Jin Dynasty said in "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring" that he asked what the world is, regardless of whether the Wei and Jin dynasties know that there is a Han. This first word is taken from the word of the world. ”

"As for the second word? Zhuangzi said: Relatives and children must be widespread, benevolent. In this way, how about your word I give this word of benevolence? You are the prince, and your words and deeds represent the dignity of the heavenly family. I have always ruled the world with benevolence, and this word of benevolence reminds you to always remember your identity, and don't forget to treat others with kindness. ”

"Shiren, why do these two words sound so familiar?" Huang Qiong always felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity with the words given by the emperor Lao Tzu, and always felt that he had heard it there, but he couldn't remember it for a while. However, when he connected his surname to this character, several black lines instantly appeared on his head.

Huang Shiren, isn't this the No. 1 villain in the famous opera "The White-Haired Girl" that he learned in the middle school texts of later generations? Give yourself such a word, do you still want to find a dog leg named Mu Renzhi? Do you have to rob men and women to be worthy of this word?

It's just that although he despises the word given by the emperor Lao Tzu in his heart, Huang Qiong is helpless. In this era of emphasizing the king's authority, the minister's resignation, the father's grant, and the son's resignation, the emperor in front of him is the king, and he is the father to himself, they are the father and son, and the monarch and the minister. Even if she hates this word, Huang Qiong can only kneel down and thank you.

"You're seventeen, no, you should be eighteen, right?" Seeing that Huang Qiong also knew the rules very well, after the emperor waved his hand to signal him to get up, he hesitated slightly. When Huang Qiong was born, it was the critical moment when he returned to the government, how could he have the heart to remember this son who almost asked for his throne or even his own life?

As for the re-intake of the government, Huang Qiong's mother was deposed, and she was trapped in the cold palace with this son, and there was no chance to meet again. Maybe it's deliberate neglect, maybe it's something else. He really doesn't remember this in his heart, and he doesn't have much impression of his son's real age.

If it weren't for the twist and turn of Zongzheng Temple, he couldn't even remember that he and the one in the cold palace who made him lose in the battle at the beginning, and even the unforgettable, faceless woman and a son. I didn't expect that this son had grown so big.
