Chapter 666: Gentleman's Heart, Father's Heart
In this life, I am fortunate to meet a good grandfather, a good master, and a group of good partners, Yue Qianqiu is used to hearing all kinds of good words, and he has already passed the stage of joy after a little praise, but when the emperor praised himself for his hard work, he still smiled and felt that he deserved it. However, when he heard the emperor say that he had been tolerant of the little fat man all these years, he was shocked.
The emperor actually saw through the way he got along with the little fat man!
Really, just because this dead little fat man is arrogant, willful, rough, and arrogant...... Anyway, the character that combines all kinds of bad traits, if you change someone, you will either go against the grain or go your separate ways. He was able to tolerate this guy patiently until now, and he was able to rack his brains to transform people into the so-so appearance they are now, and he doesn't know how much hair has fallen!
"The emperor has a good reputation." Yue Qianqiu spit out these five words dryly, and then knew that it was wrong to say more, so he didn't say anything.
But when the little fat man heard this, he was suddenly a little embarrassed, however, after glancing at the silent Yue Qianqiu, and seeing the emperor's meaningful gaze looking at him, the defense on his lips finally swallowed back into his stomach.
Over the years, from the attitude of those people in the palace and outside the palace, he has not experienced the huge damage caused to him by messing around in the early years, if he is still like back then, then after the recent series of things have started, he may have been overturned by someone long ago. Sometimes in the middle of the night, he can't wake up from a dream, and he often ponders Yue Qianqiu's words, and has to admit that they are all right.
One of the two parties said a dry and humble word, and the other shut up and didn't speak, and Zhou Jiyue, who had just been thanked by the emperor in person, had to be the one to break the deadlock.
"The emperor has won the award, not to mention that His Royal Highness is about to be canonized as the crown prince, but he is the second prince of the country, and he can't tolerate any difference. Even if he is not the crown prince, since we used to have a friendship with classmates in the Wuying Pavilion, and we have acquaintances and friendships, I should do my best to protect him. Not to mention ......"
She paused, and said with some shame: "What's more, it was Qianqiu who really dragged a lot of people at that time, I was holding the prince's sword, but I couldn't take down Lou Yingchang, if it wasn't for General Yan to arrive in time, the consequences would be unimaginable, and I was not good at learning." ”
As soon as the words fell, Yue Qianqiu immediately objected: "Lou Yingchang is equivalent to a strongman at the level of the martial arts devil, Ji Yue, you drag him alone, let him be tired of dealing with your offensive, there is no way to command others, and he can't spare time to use strategies, then he is already strong enough, how can it be better than me, a person who was injured a little under the hands of a group of miscellaneous soldiers!" ”
And the little fat man also shouted loudly: "Sister Zhou, why are you arrogant? You not only protected me at that critical juncture, but also remembered to protect that kid in Chongming, this righteous mind I will never forget in my life! ”
The emperor saw that Yue Qianqiu and the little fat man said almost the same thing, and the original generous Sect Master Zhou over there couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, he couldn't help laughing, and then nodded and said: "Very good, it's rare that Shiro can have one more friend, and I can rest assured of him a little more in the future." Let's go, go to the Baofu Hall to see Chongming. ”
The little fat man didn't care about Li Chongming at all. It was already very interesting for him to speak in front of Lou Yingchang, so that he really treated this nephew, who had always been with him in the past, as a close relative, and he felt that he was really reluctant. Therefore, he let the emperor walk in front, and let Zhou Jiyue and Yue Qianqiu accompany him left and right, but he quietly fell behind.
Seeing that the emperor had already gone far ahead, he suddenly stopped, turned around and faced the inner servants that the emperor had brought out today. Seeing that they stopped in a hurry, and their heads were lowered, he snorted.
"Don't think I didn't see you guys laughing at me before! I said ugly things in front of me, if the slightest rumor leaks out of the words that my father said to us just now, then it must be one of you who has a leaky mouth! At that point, don't blame me for blaming a whole bunch of you for a gaffe! ”
He said, raising his chin slightly, and pointed his finger at a person: "Don't think that I may not remember your name when I look back. Zhao Yang, Rong Shu, Qin Feng ......"
Seven or eight waiters didn't expect the little fat man to score exactly one by one, and he couldn't help but hang his head lower for a while, and his heart was even more up. Everyone thinks that His Royal Highness is a nobody's character, except for Chen Wuliang, I'm afraid no one cares about it, who would have thought that this little chamberlain who could remember them insignificant?
And Yue Qianqiu and Zhou Jiyue, who were walking in front, all found that the little fat man was standing behind him, or more precisely, he was angry. Yue Qianqiu couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth, who knew that this subtle action fell in the eyes of the emperor: "What, Qianqiu, do you think Shiro is very childish?" ”
Yue Qianqiu didn't answer the emperor's question directly, but suddenly coughed dryly and asked in a low voice: "I remember that in the past, the emperor was called His Royal Highness Dalang, and from the time the Lantern Festival was in the Xuandao Hall, he suddenly became Shiro?" ”
His voice was very small, and it was only heard by Zhou Jiyue and the emperor on the side, and as for the little fat man who was teaching people very late, he would never hear it. But even so, Zhou Jiyue still felt a chuckle in her heart, quite worried that Yue Qianqiu's overly bold question would not arouse the emperor's wrath.
However, the emperor's reaction was flat. He chuckled, and finally said lightly: "I used to call him Da Lang because I wanted to forget the two sons who died when I was born when the Queen Mother was still there, and King Jia, who was brought into the palace to raise because of the Queen Mother's intentions. But now that I have figured it out, no matter how much I want to forget the past, it still exists after all. ”
He narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Moreover, now that the Queen Mother is gone, those old and important ministers who want to put all kinds of stereotypes on my neck are no longer there, so there is no need for me not to admit those past events." There is no difference between Da Lang and Shiro, as long as I admit that he is my only prince, then he is the prince of Da Wu, the son of heaven on a different day. ”
"The emperor is so determined, it is really my blessing to Wu." Yue Qianqiu breathed a sigh of relief, but then as if he was not shocked, he asked again bluntly, "But why does the emperor want to recognize my mother as your daughter?" Still making such a big noise outside? ”
"I wanted to make her the lord of Langya before, but I regretted it."
The emperor said this extremely ambiguous sentence, and when he saw that Yue Qianqiu's footsteps on the left hand side simply stopped, he didn't need to look at it to know that Zhou Jiyue on the right hand side must also be full of surprise, so he smiled and said, "I originally thought that giving your mother a title, so that she could be more beautiful in the Yue family and in diplomacy, so that it would also make up for the birth and death of Xiao Si." ”
"However, King Yuan is not a good father, so the sons are so distracted, so that the prince is demoted, even if it is your mother's nominal father, he is not worthy, and in the future, there are so many brothers who will only cause trouble, your mother will only be annoyed to death. In contrast, if I recognize her, but she doesn't want to recognize me, then even if she doesn't accept the title of princess, others will recognize her as a princess. ”
Seeing Yue Qianqiu's crying and laughing look, the emperor didn't care, and while continuing to move forward, he said lightly: "The most important thing is that I think she is weak but strong, and Shiro likes her very much. This is very rare, there are so many concubines in the palace, Shiro is respectful, even if Ren Guiyi, he is only polite and respectful, and he is not close to the sisters. ”
"It's rare that he has an elder who really respects and likes, and it's impossible for me to think of your mother as the daughter of the first emperor who has been dead for many years, and the age is completely wrong, so I have to make this decision. In this way, even if you don't have a title, everyone will treat your mother as a real princess. When your father comes back, he will not be affected in his career because he is still a princess and marries the county lord. No matter how much I show kindness to him and you, there is nothing for anyone else to say. ”
"Your Majesty, you are really a clever plan."
Although when they ran home to find Princess Ping'an before, after the two of them had exchanged their hearts with each other, they had almost guessed this, but now that the emperor readily admitted, Yue Qianqiu still couldn't help but feel a little entangled in his heart.
Even if Princess Ping'an does not obey the decree, and the "father and daughter" do not recognize each other, but if everyone else sees it like this, he will be short of the little fat man for no reason, which is really not cost-effective! As for the fact that he will become the emperor's cheap grandson, and therefore will get a lot of benefits, etc., it is completely out of his consideration at this time.
Zhou Jiyue saw that the emperor was also outspoken in front of herself, although there was a feeling of trust in her heart, but in view of the fact that this was not in the secret room, she still couldn't help but look around, who knew that the emperor immediately smiled and said: "Shiro is teaching people, is there anyone watching around, is there an ear on the wall, there are two of you here, I still need to worry about leaking the news?" ”
"What the emperor said is, don't worry about Jiyue." Yue Qianqiu winked at Zhou Jiyue, and then saw that the Baofu Hall was almost there, so he put away the arrogant and bold style just now, and seemed to follow the rules.
Sure enough, the emperor didn't ask those who had it, and in the face of those who hurriedly greeted the palace attendants, he just didn't squint, until the little fat man who caught up with him personally led the way, arrived at a soft couch in the west of the dormitory, and saw two imperial doctors, he asked in a deep voice: "How is Chongming doing now?" ”
Yue Qianqiu didn't take it lightly or seriously, even if the two imperial doctors didn't say anything about Xinglin Guoshou, it was not difficult to wake people up, but since the two of them couldn't tell who would do it, they didn't dare to do anything casually. So, although they also found out that Li Chongming's pulse was different, it seemed that something had been overcome by the diet for several days, and they were even more upset in their hearts.
At this time, seeing that the emperor was coming, the two of them were a little panicked. The young one wanted to say something as soon as he opened his mouth, but he was slapped on the elbow by his senior, and he was immediately bored.
And the older imperial doctor stopped the recklessness of the younger juniors, and then said with a smile: "The prince of King Jia is just sick and weak, there is no big problem, just rest for a few days." I think it's because those people in the Jiawang Mansion are not attentive, as long as they take care of it carefully in the palace, it will take ten days and half a month, and the prince will definitely be able to do well. ”
Seeing the little fat man's clearly satisfied face, the older imperial doctor who spoke realized that he had said the wrong thing, and he was relieved. And after the emperor asked a few words casually, he nodded and asked them to retreat first, he felt that he was extremely wise, and after quietly exiting the dormitory, he whispered a few words to the junior who was full of discouragement.
"Learn a little, one is the future prince who is about to be canonized, and the other is the prince of the vassal who is not treated by the emperor, if you say a wrong sentence just now, it will be light to lose your official position, and maybe you won't even have your head!"
"However, looking at the appearance of King Jia's son, it is clear that he did not faint from exhaustion, but was knocked unconscious, not to mention his pulse ......"
The young imperial doctor had just justified two sentences, and he was met with the angry glaring of his predecessors, and he was immediately terrified and hurriedly shut up. He naturally knew that no matter how much Li Chongming, the son of King Jia, was only superficially honorable and dared to knock people unconscious, there was only one - except for the British King with high seniority and respectful reputation, there would be no one else. As for the pulse, it's even harder to say.
"Rotten this thing in your stomach, otherwise, you will drag me to death!"
The little fat man who was slandered by others didn't know anything, and after the idlers and others were dismissed, he hurriedly talked about today's extremely thrilling experience. I have to say that the one who is close to Zhu is red, and the one who is close to ink is black, his current storytelling skills are not a few points worse than Yue Qianqiu, and he can't shake his burden at every turn, ups and downs, and get out of a palace distress story.
When the little fat man finally talked about Yue Qianqiu's soft armor and injury, and said that Yan Xu left after dropping the wound medicine, Yue Qianqiu saw that the emperor turned to look at him, so he coughed dryly and began to explain.
"It's just a little bruise, and it's all because I'm not thick enough to be fine. Actually, the prince of Jiawang did not faint, but was knocked unconscious by me. It was not suitable to stay in the Jiawang Mansion before, and I was afraid that he would say the wrong thing in front of people because he was hit too hard, so I could only make this decision, and ask the emperor for forgiveness. I will personally apologize to him when I go back. ”
Seeing that Yue Qianqiu was shouldering the responsibility alone, the little fat man wanted to share a little, but seeing Zhou Jiyue shaking his head at himself, although he was a little unclear, he at least understood that the other party wanted him not to rashly help Yue Qianqiu speak, and after thinking about it, he decided to shut up first. Sure enough, the next moment, he saw the emperor laugh faintly.
"Thanks to your loud shouting that an assassin wanted to assassinate Chongming, otherwise, just because Lou Yingchang, the deputy envoy of the Autumn Hunting Division, actually led people to hide in the courtyard of King Jia's Mansion, intending to be unfavorable to Shiro, I am afraid that I will have to uproot King Jia's family to make an example, otherwise everyone will collude with Beiyan in the future, so it will be worth it?" At that time, others may compare me to the tyrant of Beiyan. ”
At that moment, the little fat man only felt his heart throb violently. In the past, he often complained that the emperor was not as good to him as he was to Yue Qianqiu, complained that he was the only prince but was not canonized as the crown prince for a long time, complained that his biological mother was unknown, and complained that he did not have a reliable relative...... But all these accumulated grievances disappeared at this moment.
His father, who had always been lenient and rarely shouted and killed to his ministers, and most of the time only sharpened people with soft knives, had such thoughts because of his distress!
The little fat man who lowered his head tried his best to hide his red, astringent, and even watery eyes, but Yue Qianqiu took the opportunity to quickly glance at the emperor, so when he saw the indifference and coldness in the depths of his eyes, he also saw the emperor's eyes looking at the little fat man. At that moment, he deeply felt that the little fat man was not too scheming, and sometimes it was a good thing.
At least, the true feelings of the little fat man at this moment will undoubtedly please this son of heaven who is kind in face but is actually difficult to serve.
What Zhou Jiyue noticed at this time was Li Chongming lying on the bed. She clearly saw that when the emperor said the four words uprooted, the corners of Li Chongming's eyes twitched. Obviously, the person is already awake.
So, who has always been strong on the outside and soft on the inside, she took out the handkerchief with blood written on it that she had just kept, and presented it to the emperor with both hands: "Your Majesty, this is the blood book that the prince of Jia secretly stuffed to me before Lou Yingchang came in. ”
