Li Yuanxiu was thoughtful beside him, and now even he could see a little bit of Zhao Dongting's thoughts.
He just thought in his heart, "Isn't it time to show the Queen Mother and let the emperor take a concubine?" ”
At that time, there were not a few imperial relatives and nobles who married wives in their teens, and there were even emperors who had already given birth to children when they were fourteen or fifteen years old.
The royal family attaches great importance to the continuation of the bloodline more than the people.
Le Wu looked at Zhao Dongting stupidly, but said, "Your Majesty, do you really want to go to the slave's house?" ”
Zhao Dongting said strangely: "What's wrong?" ”
Le Wu rarely lowered her eyebrows and pleasing her eyes, "My sister said, if you say that you want to go to the slave's house, ask the slave and the maid not to take you there." ”
"Why?"
Zhao Dongting was a little anxious.
Le Wu blushed and said, "Anyway, that's how my sister explained it to me." ”
She doesn't want to see me?
Zhao Dongting was silent, his face was a little gloomy, and the excitement just now was completely gone. He originally wanted to meet Le Chan's father, but he didn't expect Le Chan to expect that he would not let him go to her house.
Or is it because I'm too young?
Zhao Dongting also knew in his heart that he called out Le Chan's name in his dream, and Le Chan must have seen some of his own thoughts.
At the moment, he inevitably has some gains and losses in his heart.
When Le Wu saw Zhao Dongting like this, he was also silent.
After a long time, Zhao Dongting sighed and said: "Father-in-law, go and inform Liu Hongyi, just say that I will invite him to have dinner in the palace tonight, and let him bring his wife and family, as well as the He Qingyi and He girl from the Kangding Dart Bureau." ”
After the victory of Qizhou Island, Zhao Dongting asked about Liu Hongyi's white cat sending a letter, and he also remembered that he said at the city gate that he would reward He Qingyi.
Li Yuanxiu took the order.
Le Wu pouted, plucked up the courage to ask, "Your Majesty, do you like my sister?" ”
Zhao Dongting was really a little embarrassed, and didn't answer positively, but said, "Even you can see it?" ”
"You're calling out her name in your dreams."
Le Wu muttered softly, "How can you understand these things at such a young age?" ”
She was the only one who dared to speak like this in front of Zhao Dongting.
Hearing her words, Zhao Dongting was dumbfounded, and he really didn't know how to answer.
Le Wu said again: "But my sister has a marriage contract, she said...... She won't see you again until she gets married. ”
When she said this, her head was also lowered slightly, and she was a little embarrassed to face Zhao Dongting.
At that time, the words of the matchmaker were quite important. Even if Zhao Dongting is the emperor, it is inconvenient to forcibly break up other people's marriage contracts, even if he really insists on doing so, it will have a great impact on Le Chan's reputation.
Zhao Dongting was still silent, just sighing softly.
He really likes Le Chan, and he did plan to marry Le Chan, but after arriving in Leizhou, he realized that even if he is an emperor, he can't do whatever he wants. He has an authority that no one can match, but he must also be an example to all peoples.
But do you just give up?
Zhao Dongting was unwilling.
I traveled to the Southern Song Dynasty and became the emperor, and I couldn't even get the woman I loved, so what was the point?
He thought about it and became a little annoyed, and said to Le Wu and Ying'er: "Le Wu and Ying'er, you go down first, I want to rest and rest." ”
Le Wu and Ying'er nodded and quietly left the house.
Zhao Dongting stared blankly at the inside of the room, and his heart continued to struggle violently. He doesn't want to do those things that are dirty, Ke Lechan, and he really likes it.
Time slowed into the night.
Liu Hongyi was naturally flattered when he learned that the emperor invited his whole family to the palace for dinner, and asked his wife and Xiyi as well as the maid Xiaohe to dress up carefully, bathe and burn incense by herself, and dress properly, and wait until He Qingyi came to the house, and then walked to the palace.
There were eunuchs waiting at the gate of the Zhizhou Mansion, and when they saw Liu Hongyi arriving, they hurriedly led them to Zhao Dongting's special dining room.
In the past, in Lin'an, the emperor naturally had a palace for eating, and there were institutions like Guanglu Temple for serving the emperor for dinner. It's just that in the remote place of Leizhou, Ge Lijun made a lot of money and used it to recruit troops and horses, so the Zhizhou Mansion is of course far less prosperous than the Lin'an Palace. Zhao Dongting's place to eat is just a room.
Of course, this room is not small, it has to be hundreds of square meters, and it is carved with phoenixes and full of dazzling colors.
There were dozens of bookcases on the ground, and Liu Hongyi and the others were led inside, and they were inexplicably a little nervous. His wife He Huixiang hugged her husband's arm tightly, she hadn't seen the emperor yet, and she was only thinking about what the emperor looked like, but she didn't think of Zhao Dongting as a god with three heads and six arms.
Xi Yi and the maid Xiaohe were even more nervous, and they craned their necks to sneak a peek at the furnishings in the room.
He Qingyi has a free and easy temperament, and he has seen Zhao Dongting again, so he should be calm.
The eunuchs courteously asked them to sit down, but they didn't dare. Liu Hongyi hurriedly shirked it, "The emperor hasn't arrived yet, I'll just stand and wait." ”
As he was talking, a eunuch over there was already shouting, "The emperor has arrived." ”
Zhao Dongting walked into the courtyard with Ying'er, Le Wu, and Li Yuanxiu, and walked towards the room with the sign of "Yangxin Palace".
Liu Hongyi took his wife to kneel on the ground, and Xiyi, He Qingyi and Xiaohe also quickly knelt down, "Knock on the emperor." ”
Zhao Dongting smiled, "General Liu and Mrs. Liu don't have to be polite, just get up!" ”
Then he walked into the house first, sat down behind the innermost bookcase in the room, and waved his hand, "Pass the meal!" ”
Liu Hongyi, but they didn't dare to sit.
Zhao Dongting said: "Sit down! ”
As he spoke, he pointed to the bookcase in front of him, and said, "You sit next to me." ”
Then he looked at Ying'er, Le Wu and Li Yuanxiu next to him, "You also sit, in front of me, you don't need to be so restrained." ”
Le Wu used to dine with him in the dormitory, and when he heard the words and smiled, he ran to the bottom and sat down. The skills of the imperial chefs who came from Lin'an are still quite good, and these days have made this snack a few pounds fat.
Ying'er and Li Yuanxiu knew that Zhao Dongting had a temperament, and he was not as rigid as the emperor in the past, so after a little hesitation, they also sat behind the bookcase.
After everyone sat down, Zhao Dongting smiled and said to He Huixiang: "Madame sacrifices herself for righteousness, and her integrity is outstanding, which makes me admire it very much!" ”
He Huixiang's face turned red, and she didn't dare to answer.
Although she is a scholarly family, after marrying Liu Hongyi, she has never seen much of the world, not even Ge Lijun, let alone the emperor.
Zhao Dongting knew that she was nervous, but he didn't care, and said: "I named you a four-grade master, a reward of one hundred taels, and five maids, setting an example for the world." ”
He Huixiang was even more overwhelmed when she heard such a big reward.
Liu Hongyi hurriedly tugged at her sleeve, "Don't thank you quickly." ”
He Huixiang stood up, walked to the hall and knelt on the ground, "The people have thanked the emperor." ”
Zhao Dongting said with a smile: "Now you are a four-grade master, and you can no longer call yourself a people's daughter." ”
He Huixiang blushed, still a little overwhelmed.
Li Yuanxiu took out the embroidered Ruihe Decree framed with a gold scroll from his sleeve, walked to the hall and handed it to He Huixiang, "Congratulations, madam." ”
He Huixiang took the holy decree and looked at Zhao Dongting again, then retreated, her hands still trembling a little.
Although Zhao Dongting is just a child, after all, she is the emperor, and she feels that her legs are a little weak.
Zhao Dongting smiled, looked at He Qingyi again, and said: "Girl in Tsing Yi, you are not married, it is not appropriate for me to make you a wife, you take the risk to send a letter for me, it can be said that women do not let you have eyebrows, you can tell me, what do you want me to reward you?" ”
Although he knew that Ge Lijun would rebel, Liu Hongyi sent a letter and said the exact time, which was indeed a great help to the imperial court.
He Qingyi said: "The people's girl ......"
She wanted to speak and stopped, but she looked at Xiyi next to her and replied shyly: "The people's daughter depends on the emperor's will." ”
Zhao Dongting has such eyesight, seeing her strange face, looking at Xiyi's eyes with tenderness like water, how can she not understand?
At that moment, he couldn't stop sighing in his heart, Xiyi is really lucky, but it's a pity that he likes Le Chan, but there is such a big age gap, and she still has a marriage contract.
He didn't know that Xiyi used to jump into the Kangding dart game, and he always helped, which had already made He Qingyi have him in his heart.
Otherwise, taking the risk of sending a letter to such a big thing may affect the entire dart game, how could He Qingyi easily agree to him?
It's just that at that time, women were always ashamed to talk about this kind of thing, regardless of whether they were introverted or extroverted. It is already rare that He Qingyi can look at Xiyi faintly.
Zhao Dongting looked at Xiyi with a smile, "Xiyi, your white cat has a meritorious role in sending letters, what official do you want?" ”
Xi Yi said: "Your Majesty, the grass people want to be the officials of this Leizhou and benefit the people." ”
Liu Hongyi couldn't help but hum softly beside him: "No wonder I asked you to go to the army, you didn't go, it turned out that you had the intention of being an official." ”
He Huixiang said softly: "Master, Xiyi reads the sages hard every night, and he doesn't want to join the army, so there's nothing wrong with being an official." ”
But she knew that her master regarded Xiyi as his own son, and only wanted Xiyi to inherit his mantle and be a general who galloped on the battlefield.
Liu Hongyi looked at his wife with a soft face, and then said no more.
Zhao Dongting knew that He Huixiang's "reading the book of sages and sages night and night" was deliberately said to herself, and he didn't care about this woman's thoughts, so he said to Xiyi: "Then I will let you be the county governor of this Haikang County first, but I can tell you first, if you can't govern this Haikang County well, don't blame me for dismissing your official and giving you an idle position instead, the life of the people of Li is no joke." ”
Xiyi walked to the middle with a happy face and knelt on the ground, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”
Zhao Dongting waved his hand and said, "In addition, I will be a matchmaker for you, and let Miss He marry you as a wife, how about it?" ”
He Qingyi's face turned red.
Xiyi was stunned, then looked at He Qingyi, and couldn't stop being happy, and said again and again: "Thank the emperor for the marriage." ”
If he didn't like He Qingyi, he wouldn't have thought of He Qingyi first when he sent the letter.
Li Yuanxiu said beside him: "Xixian Cheng and Miss He are talented and beautiful, a match made in heaven, the emperor can be described as an adult beauty......"
Although he is a master and has excellent skills, he has been in the palace for a long time, and this set of whiskers and horses is also easy to come by.
Zhao Dongting only found it interesting, and said: "I Feng He Miss is also a four-grade Shuo person, and after your wedding, the holy decree will be sent to your house." ”
Saying that, he looked at He Qingyi, "Miss He, your grade is higher than Xiyi, and you will have to take good care of him for me in the future." ”
He Qingyi nodded shyly, but he didn't bury his head in his chest. The pretty face was flushed and delicate, which made De Xiyi stunned.
Zhao Dongting saw that they were in love with each other, and the two were in love, and he couldn't help but think of Le Chan again.
At this time, a group of imperial doctors and palace maids came in, and everyone stopped saying that they could eat with peace of mind.
At the end, Zhao Dongting also said that Imperial Doctor An would have time to take a look at the infertility disease for Liu Hongyi and He Huixiang, so that the couple was overjoyed and thanked them, and then took Xiyi and them back with joy. The gratitude to Zhao Dongting in his heart is needless to say.
It's just that this night, Zhao Dongting himself was a little lonely and asked Li Yuanxiu to climb onto the roof with him, looking at Mingyue in a daze.
