Chapter 126: Penetrating People's Hearts

Yan Chi went to the imperial study to find Zhao Huaiyan, at this point, she should retire from the court.

It is true that he has retreated from the court, and at this moment in the imperial study of Zhao State, many ministers are there, this is the first time Zhao Huaiyan has been to the court, and it is also the first time to sit in the imperial study to meet the ministers.

Just ascended the throne, she is not very hands-on, a little anxious, fortunately, the Wenchen generals love her very much, after the early dynasty dispersed, came to her one by one to patiently talk about national affairs, divided into some important talks, and then everyone will put forward some opinions, sharing her difficulty in adapting to the emperor at the beginning.

Zhao Huaiyan listened humbly, and with the help of these old ministers, he dealt with the matter of this morning little by little.

Before he could see it, when Yan was late, he saw the ministers of Zhao coming out one after another, with a relieved smile on their faces, and there were still people talking.

"Although the emperor is young, he has a high level of understanding, and she will be able to adapt to it if she is given two days."

"Yes, aren't we courtiers just want to share the emperor's worries? After the morning court, we all came to the imperial study to help the emperor come up with ideas. ”

"Well, that's a good idea."

“……”

Successive voices blew past Yan Chi's ears, he raised his eyebrows, glanced at the imperial study, and waited for these ministers of Zhao State to leave, and walked over.

Qu Zhao was guarding outside the door.

Generally, people who are emperors have eunuchs next to them, but Zhao Huaiyan has no by his side.

It is Qu Zhao who usually follows her, and it is Zhaoxue and Lan Wu who serve her, and Yingliu and Changhong also follow her, but they don't come every day.

When Qu Zhao saw Yan Chi, he was stunned for a moment, thinking that Emperor Yan didn't want to go back today? Why did you enter the palace again? She shouted in vain, "Emperor Yan." ”

Yan Chi glanced at the door of the imperial study, "Is Yan'er inside?" ”

Qu Zhao said, "Yes." ”

Yan Chi said, "Help me pass it through." ”

Qu Zhao sighed, pushed open the door and went in, and when she came out again, she opened the door and let Yan Chi in, and after Yan Chi walked in, Qu Zhao closed the door again.

Zhaoxue and Lan Wu waited by Zhao Huaiyan's side, one grinding ink and the other serving tea.

Zhao Huaiyan was looking down at the fold.

After Yan Chi came, she looked up from the pile of twists and turns, "Didn't you return this morning?" Why did you enter the palace? ”

Yan Chi looked left and right, and glanced at her imperial study, the overall framework was similar to the one he usually worked in, but the things arranged were still different.

The study room is large, with a place to work and a place to rest.

There are tables and chairs on the left and right sides of the imperial table, Yan Chi picked a seat, and after sitting firmly, before he could speak, Lan Wu hurriedly came over to serve tea.

Yan Chi didn't drink tea, just sat there and said, "I went into the palace to call my father, but he didn't leave." ”

Zhao Huaiyan was stunned for a moment, put down the wolf's hair, and asked, "Your father is not leaving?" ”

Yan Chi said, "Hmm." ”

Zhao Huaiyan asked, "What's wrong?" Is it because of my dad? ”

Yan Chi said, "No, because of your mother." ”

Zhao Huaiyan frowned, and after a while, she thought of something, she stood up with her arms propped up, walked around from behind the imperial table, and glanced at the closed door, then lowered her neck and whispered, "Your father doesn't want to stay in Zhao Kingdom from now on and accompany my mother, right?" ”

Yan Chi said, "It probably means this, he is in the Imperial Mausoleum, and your father is also in the Imperial Mausoleum, he was playing chess with your father when I first went, and I can't call him away." ”

Zhao Huaiyan said, "You came to me, did you ask me to help you persuade your father?" ”

Yan Chi shook his head, "No, I'm here to ask you." ”

Zhao Huaiyan looked at him with a smile, and for the first time he felt that this prince of Yan Kingdom, oh no, the emperor, also had a time to ask for help.

She folded her arms and motioned for him to speak.

Yan Chi said, "The grievances between my father and your father are all from the time they were young, and there is no deep hatred between them, the only thing that matters is your mother, your father doesn't want to see my father, my father doesn't like your father, but at this time, presumably in the future, both of them will guard your mother, then they have to meet every day, after a long time, it is inevitable that there will be conflicts, my father will not let your father, your father will not let my father, the only thing that can make them give up is your mother, but your mother is gone, then there is only you, I hope you can take good care of them, they are also older, old, and can't stand the toss. ”

Zhao Huaiyan understood that Yan Chi was planning to put his father in Zhao Guo and let her be filial!

She hasn't married yet, so she has to take care of his father first, what's this called!

Zhao Huaiyan rolled his eyes.

Yan Chi glanced at her, smiled and held her hand, stood up, turned his head again, and looked at Zhao Xue and Lan Wu who were guarding behind.

Summoning Xue and Lan Wu came into contact with his sight, and for some reason, their hearts were cold, and they immediately opened the door and ran out.

When they stood outside the door, they were inexplicably looked at by Qu Zhao, and the two of them also looked inexplicable, why did they come out?

The two of them stood there, glancing towards the door.

Yan Chi hugged Zhao Huaiyan's small waist and lowered his head to kiss her.

Zhao Huaiyan raised his hand to block his mouth.

Yan Chi raised her eyebrows, took her hand away, and said softly, "I'll leave." ”

Zhao Huaiyan said, "You have to go quickly." ”

Yan Chi slapped her little loin and said dissatisfiedly, "I have no conscience, I don't know when I will see each other again." ”

Zhao Huaiyan snorted and said nothing.

But Yan Chi kissed her again, but she didn't stretch out her hand to block it anymore.

Yan Chi hugged her and kissed her for a long time, then he gasped slightly, let go of her, and he said in a dumb voice, "When I return to China, I will prepare the dowry, what do you want?" ”

Zhao Huaiyan said, "I haven't thought about this for the time being, when I get started, when you finish dealing with the issue of the territory, let's talk about it again." ”

Yan Chi lowered his head and kissed her again, this time viciously.

When he let go, Zhao Huaiyan's lips were broken.

Zhao Huaiyan pushed him away, annoyed, "It's a dog." ”

Yan Chi's eyes were dark, staring at the gap on his lips, his pupils were as deep as night, he touched his fingertips, slowly rubbed them, and said, "It won't be too long, I will definitely come to marry you in person." ”

After saying this, Yan Chi turned around and left.

When he left, Zhao Xue and Lan Wu wanted to go in, but they were stopped by Zhao Huaiyan, "Stay outside." ”

Zhao Xue and Lan Wu were stunned for a moment, glanced at Qu Zhao, and didn't dare to go in.

Zhao Huaiyan took out the ointment and touched his lip flap, then sat down and continued to watch the folds, and when he came out to eat at noon, his lips were much better, and he couldn't see anything with some rouge.

After eating, she took Qu Zhao to the imperial tomb.

She went to visit Zhao Xian in the imperial mausoleum, took a look at Yan Xingzhou by the way, and told Zhao Xian about the marriage.

Zhao Xian and Yan Xingzhou lived in the imperial mausoleum, and a lot of soldiers were sent near the imperial mausoleum, and the imperial mausoleum had an imperial bed, which was used for rest during the sacrifice, and at this time, it was occupied by the two emperors.

Two men who have been busy all their lives have nothing to do after unloading their burdens, so they play chess against each other.

After Yan Chi left, Zhao Xian took Zhao Gonggong to climb the mountain.

Climbed to noon and came back, on a whim, let Zhao Gonggong go to prepare the fish hook, and he went out to fish in the afternoon.

Without Zhao Xian's interruption, Yan Xingzhou was in front of Xianruhua's tombstone all morning, and he only felt extremely happy.

After Zhao Xian came back, Yan Xingzhou was very annoyed.

But he didn't say anything, went back to the house to eat, and then took a lunch break.

Before he got up asleep, he heard the chatter outside, he asked Gonggong Xun to see what was going on, and Gonggong Xun came back and replied that Zhao Xian had taken a lot of fishing hooks and called the soldiers to go fishing together.

When Yan Xingzhou heard this, he sat up suddenly, put on his shoes and went to go.

As soon as he came out, the loud voice of the eunuch sounded outside the gate, saying that the emperor was coming.

Zhao Xian was stunned.

The soldiers who were sharpening their knives and Huo Huo planned to compete with Zhao Xian, the emperor, were also stunned, and everyone put down their tools one after another, and stood neatly to greet the emperor.

Zhao Xian threw the fishing gear to Zhao Gonggong, clapped his hands, and went back to the house.

Turning his head to see Yan Xingzhou at the door, he snorted, put up a shelf, and ignored him.

Yan Xingzhou didn't bother to talk to him, just looked at the door.

When Zhao Huaiyan came in, he entered the house and sat on a chair separately from Zhao Xian, drinking tea.

Zhao Huaiyan came in, Zhao Gonggong and Xun Gonggong saluted, Qu Zhao also saluted the two emperors, Zhao Xian asked, "Yan'er came to find Dad?" ”

Zhao Huaiyan smiled, "Come and tell my father a happy event." ”

Zhao Xian was stunned, and said in his heart, what kind of happy event can you say in person, it won't be that you secretly promised to marry Yan Chi behind your father's back, right? It works! He said hurriedly, "Yan'er, a lifelong event, you still have to think about it carefully!" ”

Zhao Huaiyan nodded, "Yes, my daughter thought about it very clearly and decided to marry Yingliu and Changhong." ”

Zhao Xianfu, Eagle Six and Changhong?

Yan Xingzhou was also confused, how could Changhong follow Eagle Liu......

The two emperors were confused.

Zhao Huaiyan briefly explained the matter of the two of them, but he didn't say anything, just said that the two of them were in love, Yingliu proposed to her to get married, and Changhong did not refuse to marry, because Yan Xingzhou was present, Zhao Huaiyan did not put forward the two major organizations of the Golden Spy Network and Lou Soul Order, but she didn't mention it, it doesn't mean that Yan Xingzhou can't think of it, as a man who once dominated one side, he didn't think deeply about it, so he sat on the emperor's throne for so many years.

Yan Xingzhou's eyes rolled, put down the teacup, and said, "This is a good thing, it just so happens that I am in Zhao Kingdom, on the day of my wedding, I went to support Changhong's face, which can be regarded as supporting the face of Commander Eagle." ”

The Emperor Taishang of Yan Kingdom, that face is really big.

Zhao Huaiyan didn't refuse, and said with a smile, "You don't dislike this wedding." ”

Yan Xingzhou laughed and said, "What do you dislike, don't dislike it, adapt to the marriage of Yan and Zhao as soon as possible, so that your wedding with Chi'er will be very beneficial in the future." ”

Zhao Xian glared at him, "Don't want to kidnap and sell my daughter." ”

In front of Zhao Huaiyan, Yan Xingzhou didn't talk to Zhao Xian, nor did he quarrel with him, this daughter-in-law is not his own family, he has to be enshrined, and his daughter-in-law's father also has to be enshrined, he pursed his lips, three points of grievance and seven points helplessly lowered his face, and continued to pick up the teacup and drink tea.

Zhao Xian looked like he was being bullied by him, so he didn't get angry.

But because of Zhao Huaiyan's presence, he didn't want to lose his daughter's face, so he didn't say anything except a cold snort.

Zhao Xian asked Zhao Huaiyan, "Is the wedding date set?" ”

Zhao Huaiyan said, "I'll let the people from the Ministry of Rites go to the trigram for a day later, and I'll inform my father when the date is set." ”

Zhao Xian said, "Okay." ”

Zhao Huaiyan said, "Then the daughter is gone, I just saw that Zhao Gonggong was holding a fishing tackle in his hand, is my father planning to go fishing?" ”

Zhao Xian had a smile on his face, "Yes, it's rare for dad to be idle, so he will be an idler." ”

Zhao Huaiyan said playfully, "Then dad remember to take the fish basket, my daughter is going to eat the fish that my father caught himself tonight." ”

Zhao Xian was very happy and said, "Yan'er wants to eat, of course Dad wants to take a fish basket, catch a fish basket and come back, and in the evening, let's eat fish hot pot." ”

The climate in the south has been warm, not like the cold in the north, not like the dry in the east, here the humidity is relatively large all year round, eating hot pot is a common meal here, once someone feels that the moisture in their body is heavy, they will make hot pot, the staple food in the hot pot can be fish, it can be meat, and the food is the medicinal herbs that drive away moisture, plus some vegetables, this kind of hot pot is the most loved by the people of Zhao State, Zhao Xian loves to eat, Zhao Huaiyan also loves.

Hearing Zhao Xian say this, Zhao Huaiyan immediately clapped his hands and said to Yan Xingzhou, "The Emperor of Yan has not eaten Zhao Guo's wet hot pot, right?" You're eating with us tonight too! ”

Yan Xingzhou was very happy when he heard Zhao Huaiyan invite him, and replied again and again, "Okay, good." ”

Zhao Xian was dissatisfied, "Why are you calling him!" ”

Zhao Huaiyan said with a smile, "Emperor Yan specially came to find his daughter before leaving, and asked his daughter to take care of the Emperor of Yan Kingdom, father, you look at your daughter's face, don't worry about the Emperor of Yan Kingdom, you can care about the past things as much as you like, but in the future, we don't care, we live together, and we will be a family in the future, and we have to love each other." ”

Zhao Xian is angry, who is a family with Yan Xingzhou!

His daughter's arm turned out, he was not happy, he snorted, glared at Zhao Huaiyan, and went out.

But after going out, thinking that Zhao Huaiyan wanted to eat fish hot pot, he went fishing diligently again.

Yan Xingzhou looked at Zhao Huaiyan and was very pleased, he knew that Zhao Huaiyan was more sensible than her father, and he thought that Yan Chi deliberately found Zhao Huaiyan before leaving, and felt that this son was really considerate, so he had to help his son bring this daughter-in-law back.

He stood up and patted Zhao Huaiyan's little shoulder gently, "I will be good with your father, and I will let him if there is something, you have just ascended the throne, there are many things, so don't worry about things here." ”

Zhao Huaiyan said, "Thank you, Emperor Taishang of Yan Kingdom." ”

Yan Xingzhou said with a smile, "It's awkward to listen to such a shout, you don't want to shout such a long list, just call me Uncle Yan." ”

In fact, Yan Xingzhou really wants to say, you just call me dad.

But this was a bit abrupt, and when he thought of Zhao Xian again, he didn't dare to say it.

It would be good to let Zhao Huaiyan change his mouth and call Uncle Yan.

Zhao Huaiyan smiled, didn't say anything polite to him, and called Uncle Yan dignifiedly.

Yan Xingzhou laughed heartily, "Okay, since you called Uncle Yan and invited me to eat fish hot pot with you, then I can't be idle, I also went fishing." ”

Gonggong Xun saw that Yan Xingzhou went out happily, and he hurriedly followed.

When he passed by Zhao Huaiyan's side, he glanced at her sideways, thinking that the unclear grievances between the Emperor Taishang and Zhao Xian could finally be resolved.

He bowed to Zhao Huaiyan very respectfully and went out.

There are two skilled men fishing, and there are so many soldiers of Zhao State, this afternoon is very fruitful, in the evening there are two large tables in the imperial dining hall, and those soldiers who accompany Zhao Xian fishing are given a table, in another hall, in this hall, there are Yan Xingzhou, Zhao Xian, Zhao Huaiyan, Qin Zhi, Bu Jingtao, Yuan Xing, Zhao Gonggong, Xun Gonggong and others.

Seeing Qin Zhi and Bu Jingtao, Zhao Huaiyan was particularly surprised.

She sighed and asked Qin Zhi, "Prince Qin didn't return to China?" ”

Qin Zhi said with a smile, "I'm not the emperor, I don't have so many major things to deal with, I have heavy responsibilities, I am naturally freer, I visited the feng shui of Zhao last time, Qin Zhi loves it very much, this August fifteenth has just passed, but the full moon has not passed, I want to take advantage of this scenery, and then walk the rivers and mountains of Zhao State, but I don't want to, I met the Emperor of Zhao and the Emperor of Yan State in Wanyutang, and when I saw them fishing, I also offered my ugliness. ”

Zhao Xian said, "How can you be ugly, Prince Qin doesn't make a move, I really didn't see that you are still a fishing master." ”

Qin Zhi smiled, "The terrain of my Western Qin is relatively peculiar, with heavy mountains and many rivers, because of this convenient environment, I am a little more skilled than others." ”

Yan Xingzhou said, "If my son wants to, the technology will not be bad." ”

Zhao Xian looked at him.

Yan Xingzhou said, "However, if Prince Qin doesn't return to China, Emperor Qin won't be in a hurry?" After all, you should also reach the age of enthronement. ”

Qin Zhi glanced at Zhao Huaiyan and said with a faint smile, "I'm not in a hurry to ascend the throne." ”

Yan Xingzhou was silent.

Yuan Xing glanced at Qin Zhi, thinking that when the meal was over, he would have to write a letter to the emperor, telling him that Qin Zhi would stay in Zhao State and that he would have the idea of the Emperor of Zhao State.

Bu Jingtao sat next to Qin Zhi, his eyes lowered, and he kept quietly staring at the bowl in front of him.

Zhao Gonggong and Xun Gonggong didn't say a word, they had never been on an equal footing with characters like the Emperor, the Emperor, and the Prince, but today, after doing it, the two of them sat there, trembling, and their butts were unstable, where did they dare to talk more?

Only a few masters chatted back and forth, hiding the smoke, but they maintained the sound of conversation and laughter just right.

Sure enough, they are all masters of scheming.

After eating a meal, Zhao Huaiyan was in the happiest mood.

Zhao Xian is also happy, as long as his daughter is happy, he is happy.

Yan Xingzhou frowned slightly, from this meal, he noticed that Zhao Huaiyan was not very exclusive to Qin Zhi, if the Qin State was not strong, Yan Xingzhou would not be worried, but the Qin State was also a big country and its strength was also strong, if Qin Zhi insisted on competing with Yan Chilai for Zhao Huaiyan, it would be really competitive.

However, the previous Qin State could be compared with the Yan State in terms of strength, but now, it cannot be compared.

If Qin Zhi had to rob Zhao Huaiyan, then he wouldn't mind sending troops to attack Qin.

Anyway, his son has to marry Zhao Huaiyan, and no one wants to stop him.

After Yan Xingzhou and Zhao Xian left, Zhao Gonggong and Xun Gonggong also left, Yuan Xing was a guest, he was called, after eating, he went to find Changhong, the purpose of his stay was to witness the marriage of Changhong and Yingliu, Qin Zhi did not go immediately, Bu Jingtao also followed him, and Zhao Huaiyan, strolling in the Zhao Palace, admiring the brilliant lights of the Zhao Palace at night.

Zhao Huaiyan was Qin Zhi, who was the lord of a country to entertain, but he was unwilling to accompany him for a walk and chat.

Out of the imperial dining hall, Zhao Huaiyan said goodbye to Qin Zhi.

Qin Zhi looked at her, "In Yan Country before, my sister and I were offended, I hope Emperor Zhao don't take it to heart, this time I stayed, first, I want to visit the mountains and rivers of Zhao Country again, and secondly, I want to make amends to you in person." ”

Zhao Huaiyan smiled and said, "I didn't take it to heart, Prince Qin was too worried." ”

I didn't take it to heart and didn't mind, Qin Zhi sent someone to cut off a finger, Zhao Huaiyan has always remembered it, but which onion is Qin Zhi and Qin Shuang, is it worth her bothering to remember?

People who have always had ghosts in their hearts, she really doesn't have the mood or energy to think about it.

Qin Zhi didn't know that Zhao Huaiyan was thinking so, and after hearing her say that he didn't take it to heart, he relaxed slightly and said, "That's good." ”

He waved his hand back, and Bu Jingtao hurriedly handed over the scroll he had been holding in his hand.

Qin Zhi took it and handed it to Zhao Huaiyan.

Zhao Huaiyan looked at the familiar scroll, and raised her eyebrows, just like that day in the Wangjing Restaurant in Yan Kingdom, he stretched out his hand to hand her the scroll, she did not politely reach out to take it, but looked at Qin Zhi in confusion.

Qin Zhi said, "It's not a rare thing, it's the grand scene of Wanyutang that I painted, there is a scene of fishing today, you probably haven't seen your father fishing, there is a picture of him fishing, although my painting skills are not very good, but this is my mind, you didn't go to Wanyutang today, I don't know how happy your father is, you can take this painting, transcribe a copy, and give it to your father, he must like it very much." ”

Zhao Huaiyan looked at Qin Zhi steadily, and really admired this Prince Qin.

He was a man of great insight.

Last time, she was in Yanguo, missing her hometown, he gave her a picture of the mountains and rivers of Zhao Kingdom, this time, she was in her hometown, he didn't paint the mountains and rivers, painted the scene of her father's fishing, in the front, she would not resist the mountains and rivers of her hometown, in the back, she would not resist the painting of her father.

Qin Zhi handled it very well, not slowly, but he was able to let her enter the set smoothly.

Zhao Huaiyan smiled and reached out to take the painting.

Qin Zhi saw that she took it, and he didn't stay long, and left after saying a few words to let her rest earlier.

Bu Jingtao glanced back at Zhao Huaiyan after leaving, she was also turning around, holding the painting in her hand, and was surrounded by the eunuchs and palace maids.

Step Storm retracted his gaze.

In the evening, Zhao Huaiyan sat at the desk and copied Qin Zhi's painting, Qu Zhao came in to serve her, glanced at the dragon table when she pulled the candle wick, and saw Zhao Huaiyan transcribing the painting, and then took a closer look, the content of the painting turned out to be the scene of the Emperor Taishang, the Emperor of Yan Kingdom, and the soldiers of Zhao State fishing around the Wanyu Pond, she was slightly startled, and asked, "Your Majesty, where did this painting come from?" ”

Zhao Huaiyan didn't raise his head, transcribed seriously, and replied softly, "Qin Zhi sent it." ”

Qu Zhao was stunned, "Prince Qin? ”

Zhao Huaiyan still whispered, "Hmm." ”

Qu Zhao twisted his brows, looked at the painting, and then looked at Zhao Huaiyan, reminding, "This Prince Qin always sends the emperor to paint, what is his intention?" ”

Zhao Huaiyan didn't answer.

Qu Zhao said to himself, "No matter what his intentions are, the emperor can't let him succeed, just what he did to Huadiao, the incident of the ninth princess of Qin State hurting the emperor is enough to make my Zhao State and his Qin State incompatible, he is still courteous to the emperor, it won't be a delusional marriage with Zhao State, right?" He covets the emperor! ”

The last five words are very affirmative.

Zhao Huaiyan paused for pen and ink, thought about it, and put the brush on the inkstone, she looked down at the halfway transcribed painting, lowered her head, opened her mouth and blew a few breaths, then leaned back in the chair, stretched her legs comfortably, and said, "I know he wants to marry my Zhao Guo, but I am very sober." ”
