Chapter 244: Wanting to Take First
When the sun is shining in the Forbidden City, the warm breeze is blowing, and the earth is warm, there is a slip of willow green beside the palace road.
The uneasiness caused by Zhu Qiming's sudden return to Beijing only lasted in the palace for one day, and since then, rumors about his appearance, nail art in the capital and Lian Li's miraculous feats have blown through the entire Forbidden City like the wind, whetting people's appetites.
But to their disappointment, Zhu Qiming is more familiar with the Forbidden City than them, he picked up a secluded road to detour to the Qianqing Palace, so people's desire to pursue handsome guys fell through again, and a group of grandmothers and palace maids in Qingning Palace followed the palace people of Xianxi Palace, and they had something to talk about to show off, and they would enjoy the treatment of the stars and the moon before King Yue's official grand debut, and encouraged them to tell the handsomeness of King Yue to those "" who were covered by elegance, and pushed their expectations to an infinitely high height.
Zhu Qiming did not have a trace of the pleasure of his glorious debut, he was disgusted for a few months, and then wandered for several years, and the taste of being forgotten has become the norm of life.
"Your Royal Highness, since he came to Qiupu Xuan that day, the emperor has no longer given a good face to the internal guards as he did in the past, and it can be seen that the anger in the emperor's heart has not disappeared. The royal eunuch's father-in-law asked the emperor to reward him with 415 hectares of land, but the emperor never let go. ”
Zhu Qiming's gaze did not fall on the spring-filled Forbidden City at all, he recalled the meaning of the silk book in his heart, and looked aimlessly at the distant scene outside the Forbidden City, until he heard Jin Ying's whisper, and then came back to his senses.
"Are there any free fields near Jingshi?"
Jin Ying groaned slightly, "Not much, there is only a little idle land left in Qing County, Hejian Prefecture." Oh, and the British Gong Zhangfu's Zhuangtian is there. ”
Four hundred and fifteen hectares, one hectare is one hundred acres, and four hundred and fifteen hectares is more than forty thousand acres, which is not a small number, and more importantly, it is close to the farmland of the British Gong, which is somewhat interesting!
Zhu Qiming's heart was full of waves, but his face was silent, staring at the distant view with fascination.
"Your Highness, the Qianqing Palace has arrived."
"There's Father-in-law Laojin."
Zhu Qiming said goodbye to Jin Ying, and as soon as he stood still, he saw the attendant on duty in the palace turn around and enter the palace to report.
"King Yue, come in quickly." After a while, without waiting for the imperial servant to pass the word, the emperor's greeting sounded in the Qianqing Palace.
When I walked into the Qianqing Palace, I saw a graceful figure floating into the inner room.
Empress? With the appearance and outfit in his memory, Zhu Qiming could tell that the person who had just hidden in the inner room was the queen, but the queen was the mother of the world, since she had bumped into her, was it necessary to avoid her cousin? Hey, it's not like I haven't seen your true face, not to mention that I am your benefactor, and I don't know how to lower my body and come forward to ask for warmth! Alas, the world is impermanent!
Zhu Qiming muttered to himself, but saw that the emperor had already left his seat.
"King Yue is exempt."
"Qi Ming, the king of Chenyue, respectfully invites His Majesty to Sheng'an."
"I heard that you went to Qingning Palace first, I originally wanted to set up Qingning Palace." The emperor was a little tired, but his expression was still good, he walked off the royal platform and came to Zhu Qiming's side. "I didn't expect you to come so quickly."
"The minister failed to keep filial piety to the emperor's grandmother for three years, and today I went to Qingning Palace to mourn and chat to make up for the regret in my heart."
The emperor's eyes froze, and a trace of embarrassment flashed in his eyes, "I heard that you still have many treasures left in the other courtyard and Qingning Palace, quickly order someone to pack up and take them back." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"And ······" The emperor caught a glimpse of Xining breaking in, so he stopped talking.
When Xining saw Zhu Qiming, she was immediately stunned. The emperor glanced at Xining, his face was slightly gloomy, and then he turned to look at Zhu Qiming with a little uneasiness.
Zhu Qiming bowed his hand to Xining, "It's good to be a good father-in-law." Back then, this king did not do anything more and acted recklessly, please forgive me. ”
The emperor breathed a sigh of relief, and Xining over there looked flattered, "See His Royal Highness King Yue!" His Highness laughed, several years have passed, and he has forgotten those old things that are not worth mentioning in the morning. ”
Nothing? Yes! Zhu Qiming gave up Xining, turned to the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, the minister wants to give a heavy gift to Gonggong Xi, which is counted as reparation." ”
Over there, Xining waved his hand again and again, "His Royal Highness King Yue doesn't have to mind, how dare you accept His Royal Highness's heavy gifts?" Don't dare to be, don't dare to be. ”
The emperor said, "Since King Yue has opened his mouth, it's better to do this, Xining, aren't you asking for land?" I'm ready, you take someone to Qingxian to take a look, the remaining idle land was originally reserved for rewarding Wu Xun, but now it will be all given to you! ”
Xi Ning was overjoyed, and immediately knelt on the ground, "Thank you, Your Majesty Longen!" Thank you, His Royal Highness King Yue. ”
Seeing this, Zhu Qiming felt a deep sense of disgust in his heart, but when he came out of his mouth, his voice became quite pleasant: "Congratulations to my father-in-law." ”
Xining left satisfied, the emperor's complexion became better and better, and he did not frown when talking about annoying business. "King Yue, Joseon and Jianzhou Jurchen Li Manju have quarrels again, and both sides have sent envoys to sue; Also, the envoy of Warat has been in the capital for a long time, and it is time to set off and return; In addition, Shang Zhongyu, the king of the mountains of the Ryukyu Kingdom, and Shang Siyuan, the prince of the Ryukyu Kingdom, sent an envoy to the table and asked for the title. You go with Ma Yu to meet them, don't leave the problem to me! Well, tomorrow the Queen Mother's Holy Day, you don't have to live with me. ”
It's endless! Zhu Qiming listened to a large list of instructions from the emperor, and he promised very reluctantly: "The minister obeys the order." ”
"Oh, I wanted to give you a big reward, but you also know that the inner treasury is empty, and I can only do this. Say, if there is any wish that has not been fulfilled, say it, and I will try to make your wish come true. ”
Zhu Qiming pretended to glance at the inner room casually, "Your Majesty treats the ministers well, and the ministers are sufficient." It's just that in the Qianqing Palace, His Majesty had a promise, and the ministers did not dare to forget, so they always kept it in mind, and His Majesty said that after the ministers returned to Beijing from Miyun, the princess of Yue had the final say in the selection of ministers. ”
The emperor frowned, "What year is this Chen Sesame Rotten Grain?" Did I say that? Oh, even if I said this, after so many years, it's not what it used to be, don't worry, your marriage has the queen mother to worry about, and ······" Glancing at the inner room, "I'm also worried about you, and I won't treat you badly!" ”
"The minister didn't want to mention the old things anymore, but the minister didn't dare not mention the old things, just because you didn't joke! In the next thousand years, the minister will not dare to regard the words of the Son of Heaven as a joke! ”
The emperor was stunned, and sighed after a long time, "This thing is troublesome, I have a headache!" Oops, take it slowly, slowly. ”
