Chapter 225: The Marriage I Almost Missed
The night before leaving, Xiao Ting called Xiao Renjie to the study, looking at Xiao Renjie's tired appearance, Xiao Ting couldn't help but blame himself: "Renjie, uncle is useless, and now he is just a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, and he can't help you, and my uncle is the head of the Xiao family in vain." ”
Xiao Renjie hurriedly comforted: "My nephew's parents died when he was a child, and his uncle and aunt have always treated his nephew as his own son, and my nephew is grateful for this, and now my nephew can do something for the Xiao family, this is the nephew's responsibility, uncle must not blame himself, in the nephew's opinion, uncle is the best uncle and the best head of the family." ”
Xiao Ting was very relieved to hear this, nodded and said: "Okay, it's all a family, don't say polite words, your cousin Ren'an is preparing for next year's imperial examination, let him go with you this time, and my uncle has already discussed with Annanhou, and Annanhou has also agreed to your relationship with Tingting, Najib and Cai, you don't have to worry about these things, your uncle will help you, and then you will honestly come back to be your groom's official." ”
"Thank you, uncle, it's just that Ren'an is only fifteen years old this year, isn't it a little inappropriate to go out with me?" Xiao Renjie asked with a frown.
Xiao Ting shook his head and said, "It's okay, it doesn't matter if you don't pass the exam this time, it's time to test the water, what's the point of reading dead books at home every day?" I might as well follow you out there and see the world. ”
"What my uncle said is very true, it is better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles, as long as my uncle and aunt are willing to endure hardships, Renjie will naturally have no objections." Xiao Renjie replied with a smile.
Xiao Ting waved his hand and said, "Needless to say, it's so decided, Ren'an will set off with you tomorrow morning, and it's not too early now, so you should hurry back and rest." ”
"Uncle, nephew farewell."
After Xiao Renjie left, Feng Yang and the Xiao family finalized Feng Tingting's marriage, and then returned to Lingnan, and the entire capital was calm down.
At this time, it is almost the end of the year, although there is no war in the second year of Zhenguan, but it is also an unquiet year, Li Jun summarizes the gains and losses of this year, the most important achievement is that Datang passed the Xuzhou epidemic, with the assistance of the cabinet and Huashan and others, and finally came up with the first "emergency plan" in the history of China, this plan is still very rough compared with later generations, but Li Jun believes that with this first book, Datang will be more handy in emergency response in the future.
The second is that Li Jun threw out the matter of opening the sea through the matter of Langya County, and the hundreds of schools of thought have their own arguments about the matter of opening the sea, but most of them still agree to open the sea.
The third thing is also very important, that is, Li Jun appeased the Feng family in Lingnan, with the help of the Feng family, next year's southern expedition to the Three Kingdoms of Yelang will be much easier, the lion fights the rabbit, and still makes all his efforts, Li Jun will not underestimate any opponent, so every time before the battle, Li Jun will be fully prepared.
Looking at the thriving empire in his hands, at the family banquet on the first day of the lunar month, Li Jun couldn't help but drink a few more glasses and fell drunk in Changle Palace.
Since Li Jun became the emperor, he rarely lived in Changle Palace, this is the first time in the past few years, Empress Dowager Wei looked at her drunken son, and couldn't help but feel a little distressed, he was only nineteen years old, and he shouldered such a heavy responsibility, it was really pitiful.
For this reason, Empress Dowager Wei specially arranged for her cronie palace maid Qiu Ya to take care of Li Jun, looking at Qiu Ya with a look of wanting to speak and stopping, Empress Dowager Wei couldn't help but smile and said: "Qiu Ya, you grew up watching the emperor since you were a child, this palace doesn't believe that you don't like the emperor at all, and now you are not small, this palace really hopes that you can grasp this opportunity." ”
"The Queen Mother forgives her sins, even if she gives Qiu Ya ten guts, Qiu Ya will not dare to tempt Your Majesty." Qiu Ya misunderstood what Empress Dowager Wei meant, and hurriedly knelt down to ask for sin.
Empress Dowager Wei picked up Qiu Ya and sighed: "You kid is dead-eyed, this palace doesn't blame you, this palace really hopes that you can have a good result with the emperor." After speaking, he didn't listen to Qiu Ya's explanation, and left with someone.
Empress Dowager Wei took everyone away, even He Shen couldn't serve Li Jun close tonight, this was Empress Dowager Wei's death order, and He Shen had to honestly squat at the gate of Changle Palace to watch the door.
After everyone left, Qiu Ya looked at the drunk Li Jun, and was very uneasy in her heart, but she still mustered up the courage to come to the bed, ready to take off Li Jun's coat, Li Jun said in a daze: "Why does this smell exactly the same as Qiu Ya's sister?" ”
Qiu Ya was startled and hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, the slave is Qiu Ya." ”
Li Jun smiled and pulled Qiu Ya down on the bed, and then Li Jun had a good night's dream, in which he and Qiu Ya were very happy.
In fact, this is not a dream, the drunk Li Jun did give Qiu Ya a disaster, and when Li Jun was released, Qiu Ya endured the pain and got out of bed to help herself and Li Jun clean up their bodies.
Looking at Li Jun's evil smile in his dream, Qiu Ya couldn't control her emotions anymore, grabbed Li Jun's hand and said, "Brother Jun, do you still remember when you were a child, you liked to play with me the most?" I remember that when you were seven years old, you had a serious illness, after the serious illness, I accompanied you to the corridor to bask in the sun, you grabbed my hand and said to me, if you become the emperor in the future, you will definitely make me a concubine, you don't know, I was happy at that time, I thought about it day and night and waited for this day, but later, you changed...... You are no longer close to me, you don't dare to look at me, how many nights my door is not locked, just waiting for the day you can break in, but you pass by my room every night and never come in, and all you bring me is disappointment again and again......"
Li Jun didn't know these things, because the current Li Jun had already changed his soul, and the reason why Li Jun had broken off his relationship with Qiu Ya was largely because of the Xiao family, in order to get Xiao Wangzhi's help, for the throne, the previous Li Jun didn't say that he would give up Qiu Ya, and he would be willing if you asked him to give up Empress Dowager Wei.
As for the current Li Jun, he just likes Qiu Ya's beauty, and as for what happened when he was a child before, Li Jun can't remember it clearly.
After Li Jun got up early the next morning, he found Qiu Ya lying beside him, Li Jun smiled bitterly, it turned out that it was not a dream, it was true.
Qiu Ya also found that Li Jun had woken up at this time, and said shyly with the pain: "Your Majesty, why don't you rest for a while." ”
Li Jun looked at Qiu Ya's bumpy figure, his eyes turned red again, and he let out a wolf howl, looking like he was about to pounce on Qiu Ya.
Qiu Ya hurriedly dodged and said, "Your Majesty, this is still in the Empress Dowager's Palace, please respect yourself." ”
Li Jun sighed helplessly and said, "Grandma, this time it's really a loss, such a good body, Lao Tzu is actually drunk." ”
