It's no better than not knowing, after returning to the palace, Zhao Hao felt more uncomfortable, and felt that it was better to stay free and comfortable in the temple. After the news of his wedding was announced to the world, his immediate task was to be taught the rules of the wedding by the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and in addition to reading the congratulatory watches sent from everywhere. Those military and local officials were all their own hardcore cronies, and of course they knew their own rules, so they didn't dare to send gold and silver property, so they could only choose some rare things to send them, and asked them to return to Beijing in the hope of participating in the grand ceremony.

Due to the imminent welcome of the new hostess, the East Palace is also being renovated, and the main hall of the original Xin Wangfu is rebuilt into Cining Palace as the residence of the queen of the main palace. At the same time, it is necessary to clean up a few courtyards and place a few concubines. In addition, each place must be equipped with female officials, chamberlains and palace maids to teach them to learn the rules, so the entire East Palace is a little chaotic.

Although these miscellaneous things have their own Queen Mother and Wang De to worry about, Zhao Yu looked upset, all that was burned was money! So with an attitude of not being out of sight and out of mind, he moved to live in the Xiangyuan Hall in the Hibiscus Garden in the garden. This place is close to the east shore of Xiaoxi Lake, less than fifty steps away from his favorite lake pavilion, not only close to the water and clean, very close to the previous dynasty, and not too far to the West Palace Ciyuan Hall to ask for peace.

Although Xiangyuan Hall is not big, it is spacious enough for Zhao Yu, at least twice as large as the Danbo Pavilion in Qiongzhou. The main hall seemed to him to be empty, so he divided it into three parts, the middle as a meeting place, the left side as a study, the right side as a bedroom, and the back hall as a book collection. The east hall is still his workshop, the front hall of the west hall is the ministry room of the chamberlain, and the back hall is the storage room.

The only thing that made Zhao Yu dissatisfied was the name, Xiangyuantang heard that Emperor Gaozong mentioned it back then, and most of the people who lived here were the Kabuki of the Jiaofang Division, so that they could sing and dance when they feasted in the four-sided pavilion. So he ordered someone to take off the plaque and renamed it Zhiyuan Hall, taking the meaning of 'indifferent to Mingzhi, quiet to far-reaching', echoing with the indifferent pavilion in Qiongzhou, in order to show that he did not forget the ambition of the year.

However, this place is close to the lake, and the winter in the south of the Yangtze River is famous for its dampness and coldness, so Zhao Yu still ordered someone to renovate this place, imitating the way of heating in the northern palace room and installing the 'earth dragon', using the flue arranged in the ground to increase the temperature, and the principle is similar to that of modern floor heating. As a result, despite the cold outside, the interior is still warm as spring.

On this day, Zhao Yu got up, pushed the door and saw that there was a snow last night, the hibiscus gang was already a piece of snow white, and at this time the snowflakes were still falling, although the weather was gloomy, the sky was not bright, he was still used to getting up and running along the path in the back garden for an hour, and when he came back, he bathed and changed clothes and went to the West Palace Ciyuan Palace to greet the Queen Mother, and told not to sweep the snow in the yard, he came back to enjoy the snow.

After the invitation was finished, Empress Dowager Yang saw that Zhao Hao was only wearing a thin silk brocade robe, and ordered someone to find a sable robe for him to wear, and then left him for breakfast. During the meal, he did not forget to talk about the wedding, and asked him to stay in the palace and not to sneak out, and also instructed Wang De to look at His Majesty and ask him if something happened. Then he asked people to try on the newly sewn dragon robe, and also brought the newly made phoenix crown and xia curtain to show him.

Although Zhao Yu is not interested in these things, and he doesn't understand the Tao, he looks at the queen mother's full of interest, and he is no different from the mother who is in the countryside to arrange her son's marriage. Thinking about this wedding, she took out hundreds of thousands of yuan, which can also be said to be her savings for many years, and the clothes on her body were still purchased the year before last, and she was not willing to put herself in new clothes when she returned to Jiangnan.

Although it is not a big court meeting today, but still have to go to the palace to discuss with the slaughter, seeing that the time has come, the two of them said a few words, and Zhao Yu sent the queen mother out of the middle gate before returning in a huff. At this time, the snow was getting heavier and heavier, and after it had accumulated three inches, the little yellow gate and the palace maids in the palace were constantly cleaning the snow on the road to prevent the road from slipping and hurting the nobles.

"See Your Majesty!" Zhao Hao had just walked under the covered bridge when he saw Ni Liang's family waiting here.

"Excuse me!" Zhao Yu took two steps and squatted down, pulled up a child, patted the snow on his body and asked with a smile, "Fu'er, is it cold?" ”

"Your Majesty, Fu'er is not cold!" The child gave a serious salute.

"Your hands are so cold, and you still say it's not cold!" Zhao Yu held his hands in his hands and said distressedly.

"It's not cold, Fu'er practices martial arts with her father every day, cold and summer, this cold is nothing!" Fu'er patted her chest and said.

"Haha, well done!" Zhao Yu stood up and gave a thumbs up and praised, and then turned to Ni Liang and the two of them, "Fu'er was born in Qiongzhou, and the winter in the south of the Yangtze River is still very cold, don't freeze it." ”

"Your Majesty has already commanded the army to fight at such an age as Fu'er, how could he have complained of hardship at that time, he can't be too squeamish!" Ni Liang didn't care about it.

"Your Majesty wants to teach him a good lesson, now he only lets Fu'er wear single clothes during morning exercises, but he has to practice sweating!" Frangipani complained on the side.

"Don't say more, this is far worse than Your Majesty back then, Master Yuan Miao is much stricter than me, Your Majesty's slightest slack in practice is a board!" Ni Liang glared at Su Xin and said.

"In this way, you are still merciful, don't forget that Fu'er is your son!" Frangipani didn't buy it, and retorted sharply.

"Hehe, don't quarrel between the two of you, it's difficult for Qing officials to judge family affairs, I can't judge!" Zhao Hao saw that Ni Liang and his wife were going to quarrel, so he hurriedly spoke.

"Your Majesty, Ni Dutong is still talking in the hall!" Wang De said with a smile on the side, "Think about the age of Your Majesty Fu'er back then, and Ni Dutong is Your Majesty's current age, the two were inseparable at that time, day and night, and it has been ten years in the blink of an eye." ”

"Yes, but now he has forgotten his friends, and he hasn't visited me for most of the year!" Zhao Hao rolled his eyes when he heard this, and said with a lot of resentment.

"It's not that Ni Liang is forgetful, but His Majesty has a strict order to let his subordinates sit in the capital, and they are not allowed to leave the city for half a step without a will." Ni Liang listened and retorted.

"Since Your Majesty left Beijing, he has been restless day and night, wanting to go out of the city to visit, but he has the intention of not daring to leave without permission first, and he is distressed!" Su Xin also hurriedly helped explain.

"I used to be used to the days when he was around, and I felt very inconvenient at first, and I often missed it in my heart. But at that time, the situation in Beijing was severe, and I had to go out of the city. Zhao Hao patted Ni Liang's shoulder and pulled Fu'er towards Zhiyuan Hall.

After entering the house, Zhao Yu didn't care about changing his robe and asked people to prepare food for Fu'er, change out of his snow-soaked clothes, plus two braziers, and then go to the back hall to change clothes. When he came out, he found that there were a few more boxes in the hall.

"What is this?" Zhao Yu sat down and took a sip of tea, and asked Ni Liang, who was sitting under him.

"Your Majesty, there is some gold and silver in the box!" Ni Liang replied.

"You're not short of days by my side, don't you know the rules!" Zhao Yu's face sank.

"Yes." Ni Liang replied unabashedly.

"If you know, why do you need to do this?" Zhao Hao stared at him and asked again.

"Your Majesty is short of money for her wedding, and it is useless for your subordinates to put this money in the house, so Your Majesty will do it first." Ni Liang smiled innocently.

"Your Majesty, when he retired from the court and went home that day, he saw that the palace was selling the old things that had accumulated in the inner treasury, and after returning home, he kept saying that His Majesty must be short of money, and he wanted to help, and he had been muttering for many days. If Your Majesty doesn't accept it, I'm afraid he will sit down and get sick. Frangipani said on the side.

"Do I have to take it?" Zhao Yu twisted his face when he heard this, and asked Ni Liang again.

"Well, Your Majesty will take it. In the past, there were people in the countryside who got married, and everyone would help each other, and those who had money and strength to contribute, how could their subordinates see that His Majesty was in trouble and did not help. Ni Liang nodded.

"How many of these two boxes of gold and silver are there?" Zhao Yu listened to the noncommittal, and then asked.

"There are about 5,000 taels of gold and 50,000 taels of silver, if it is not enough, there are still some furniture under my subordinates that can be exchanged for cash." Ni Liang scratched his scalp and said a few things.

"It's really raining in time, I'm worried about where to get some gold and silver!" Zhao Yu listened happily.

"Your Majesty, this ......" Wang De said with a sad face when he heard this.

"These gold are in good condition, and the gold seals and gold books given to the concubines in the future will be made of this gold, and the hairpins and jewelry given to them cannot be used elsewhere." Zhao Yu left his seat, opened a box, looked at it, and took the lead without waiting for him to finish speaking.

"Little obedience. But what if there were other ministers who also wanted to offer it? Wang Deshili obeyed, but asked again.

"Is Ni Dutong the same as everyone else? He is my brother, I have difficulties, why not be my brother's help? If someone asks, just answer it right! Zhao Yu frowned and said.

"Yes, little one understands!" Wang De listened to the salute again and again, and asked the gold and silver to be carried into the back hall.

In fact, when the little emperor said this, he also reacted. Let's talk about the relationship between His Majesty and Ni Liang first, they can be said to be friends of life and death, and the little emperor also trusts his life to each other, from the initial guard battalion of only a few hundred people to the current nearly 100,000 imperial guards have been under his command. And Ni Liang is also loyal to the little emperor, let him go east and never west, let him fight dogs and never catch chickens, whenever there is trouble, they are undressed guards by the side, it can be said that they are not only monarchs and ministers, but also brothers.

In addition, Ni Liang's honesty is well-known in the government and the opposition, of course he knows the rules set by the little emperor, but he still sent so much gold and silver to the little emperor, in fact, he doesn't understand, but he has never regarded the little emperor as an outsider, but as a family member. Now that the little emperor is short of money, he thinks he should help, but the money he sent seems to be a lot, but it is really nothing to the little emperor.

Now the little emperor not only made an exception to accept it, but also happily expressed his gratitude, precisely because he knew that his gift was not utilitarian, but sincerely helped. If you don't accept it, it will inevitably hurt Ni Liang's heart, make him think more, and hurt the brotherhood. Of course, Wang De believes that His Majesty will not really accept it, but will try to return it.

"Su Xin, you have sent me all the savings in the house, can you still get by?" Zhao Yu smiled and asked Su Xin again. He knew that Ni Liang had never had a concept of money, and he didn't keep any money on him when he didn't have family affairs at the beginning, and he kept it all for him, so that he didn't even know how much his monthly salary was. After entering Beijing, they repaired the mansion and bought furniture, which cost a lot, and now they are afraid that they have done everything they have to send these.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, there is still surplus food at home, and the queen mother has just given me charcoal and clothes, and in a few days it will be the day of distribution, there is no problem." Frangipani said.

"Alas, for the sake of my marriage, it also affected you, which really makes me unbearable!" Zhao Hao sighed, took the dim sum he had just given and pushed it in front of Fu'er, patting his head.

"Your Majesty, eat!" Fu'er looked at the dim sum and licked her lips, but she didn't dare to take it, but looked at her mother, and Su Xin nodded.

"Is it delicious? Try this again. Zhao Yu saw that Fu'er had taken a snack, first tasted it and ate it in a big gulp, so he took another plate and pushed it in front of him.

"It's delicious, we only have a snack in our family on festivals, but it's not as delicious as the palace and the emperor's uncle also eats it!" Fu'er replied, picked up another piece and handed it to the emperor, "I heard from my father that the emperor's uncle is very simple, and his meals are only according to the standard of the commander, and they are not as good as our family, so I guess dim sum is not available every day!" ”

"Haha, won't we know if we have dinner together at noon!" Zhao Yu laughed for a while and then said, "Fu'er, eat quickly, this is all for you!" ”

"I also heard my father say that the emperor's uncle must not have a grain of rice left in the rice dishes to save food, but how can so many blessings be eaten?" Fu'er looked at the four or five plates of dim sum on the table, but she was worried.

"If you can't finish eating, you can take it back to my brother and others to taste, or save it for tomorrow to eat, as long as it doesn't waste it!" Zhao Yu touched his head and said.

"Well, then I'll take it back and share it with my brother, who hasn't entered the palace yet." Fu'er nodded emphatically, and then said with a sigh of relief, "Uncle Emperor's garden is so big, I want to go and see it, is it okay?" ”

"Of course, if you want to come and play in the future, just ask your father to bring you, uncle is very welcome." Zhao Yu nodded.

"Your Majesty, don't be too arrogant to the child, you will spoil him and break the rules of the palace!" Ni Liang listened to it, but said politely.

"Fu'er, I still have fruit here, follow me to the garden to eat and play!" At this time, Su Lan came over and glanced at Su Xin, and said to Fu'er.

"It's okay, I've not been here since I returned to Lin'an, so I asked my sister to accompany us to have a look!" Frangipani also went out of the palace, and when she got the prompt, she naturally understood that the little emperor and her husband had something to say, so she got up and pulled Fu'er to give a salute and leave......
