The Lantern Festival is the most lively festival after the New Year, on this day the officials will enter the palace as usual to accompany the emperor to celebrate the festival, compared with the solemn and solemn atmosphere of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, it is much more relaxed.

Silk and bamboo, colorful clothes, the splendid palace is full of laughter and laughter, even if it is a normal day to fight openly and secretly, the opponents with clear factions will converge their edge, even if everyone can not get along, at least they can stay away, try to avoid conflict and unhappiness.

The emperor was also in a very good mood tonight, and even talked to the ministers about homely, asked about the physical condition of the old man in the east family, and asked if the son of the west family had married. After three rounds of wine and five flavors, the emperor summoned General Xiao to the front, and after a few ordinary questions, he called a few boys who were less than ten years old and were not from ordinary noble families.

"Xiao Aiqing, look at the qualifications of these children."

General Xiao looked at them one by one, okay, one is full of royal style, the queen's youngest son, the ninth prince Yun Yifan; One is Yun Yichen, the only concubine of King Jing, the most noble prince of Tianyu; There is also Mu Fengwu, the grandson of Queen Mu's mother's family, Mu Guogong's mansion, and the other two are the dragon sons and phoenix grandsons of the Rongwang Mansion and the Qi County Palace.

I don't know what the emperor meant by calling these people, General Xiao took a rough look and replied objectively and fairly.

"Look at Shang Ke."

In other words, some people will definitely seize this opportunity to make the most of the best words and get closer to the relatives of the emperor, as for the facts, who cares so much!

The emperor nodded without any surprise, General Xiao is General Xiao, ambitious, and also has a bottom line; There are means, and there are also principles.

"If Xiao Aiqing thinks that their qualifications are acceptable, how about accepting them as disciples?"

The emperor opened Chrysostom, who dared to refuse, General Xiao didn't understand how the emperor would choose him, he was surprised, and there was no surprise.

"If the emperor doesn't dislike the minister, he is old, and the minister must be conscientious, but it's just ......"

"The general has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

"Your Majesty." General Xiao bowed and saluted and said: "The minister must do his best to teach kung fu, but the emperor also knows that the minister is from a reckless background, and he can only do some superficial kung fu, and he has never officially accepted a disciple, let alone an apprentice with such a valuable status, and the minister is really afraid of misleading people's children." ”

"Why should the old general be so modest! It is precisely because you are disciplined, rewards and punishments are clear, and you have good skills that the imperial brother will hand them over to you, one to learn some martial arts, and the other to hone your temperament. King Jing sat firmly at the head of the emperor, calmly.

"Obey." What else can be said at this point! General Xiao had no choice but to comply.

At the end of the banquet, King Jing sent his guards to invite General Xiao to have tea the next afternoon, and General Xiao raised his glass and drank all the wine in the cup in response.

King Jing's father and son walked out of the main hall, and as soon as they stepped down the steps, Gonggong Qu, the chief eunuch of Fengxiang Palace, greeted him with a smile on his face.

"The old slave sees the prince, and the prince sees the prince."

"Is there something wrong with Gonggong Qu?" King Jing's face was flat, and his voice couldn't tell the joy or anger.

"It was the Queen Mother who summoned the prince and the prince to Fengxiang Palace." Gonggong Qu's smile remained the same, but he couldn't see King Jing's alienation, this uncle and a young master couldn't be provoked by themselves, not to mention that they just had a cold attitude, they were going to be punished or even killed, and they had no second way to choose except for offering them with both hands.

King Jing lowered his head and didn't want others to see his true emotions, when did he start? He didn't want to set foot in the queen mother's palace again, and he didn't want to listen to the queen mother's unprincipled defense of Concubine Han, and while defending the Han family, he ruthlessly accused his wife. This behavior of caring on the surface, but in fact constantly hurting, is unacceptable and unbearable.

Knowing his son Mo Ruo's mother, he also knows his mother and Mo Ruozi, seeing the people who accompanied his mother to sit and chat intimately, King Jing knew that it was impossible for him to have a good mood today.

"The son visits the queen mother."

"Grandson to visit the imperial grandmother."

"Hurry up, Ah Chen come over and let the imperial grandmother see, you kid, you haven't been to Fengxiang Palace for a long time." Empress Dowager Han said angrily.

"The concubine has seen the prince, and Ah Chen has grown taller again." The enchanting and gorgeous Concubine Han has a swaying posture, and her dress is dazzling and dazzling that is not inferior to that of the main concubine.

"Hmm" King Jing replied speciously, not even a look. If it used to be perfunctory in front of the queen mother, then now that I know that she once poisoned her wife and daughter to death, and the daughter she killed is still suffering from illness to this day, I will never forgive her again.

Empress Dowager Han had already seen the change in her son's attitude, and it seemed that this time the matter was not so easy to expose. This niece is really not a weapon, either she doesn't make a move, or she kills with one blow, she is good, she can't harm others, but she leaves troubles, completely offends her son, and fulfills her opponent. The woman surnamed Yin is really lucky, she not only escaped poisoning, but also firmly grasped her husband's heart.

Now all he can do is try his best to improve the relationship between them, hoping that his niece can save his son's heart as soon as possible.

Yun Yichen directly ignored someone, didn't care about the other party's feelings at all, in his opinion, he didn't take the life of the person he hated, it was enough, and he wanted the master to respond that it was a dream, and it was a daydream.

"Whose idea is the matter in the hall today, that Xiao Hu is just a reckless man, how can he teach the royal children." Empress Dowager Han got straight to the point.

King Jing took a sip of tea, and before he could speak, Empress Dowager Han continued: "If you can't find a suitable master, why don't you come to find the queen mother, and tomorrow send two people with the best martial arts from the palace to your palace, and that Xiao Hu will allow him to raise it at home." ”

"Even in the Guogong Mansion, there are many masters, and the surname Xiao is almost the same as letting him teach soldiers, and if he wants to climb the royal family, he doesn't weigh his own catties." Concubine Han also sneered disdainfully.

King Jing's hand holding the cup tightened, a meritorious minister who has been stationed in the frontier for many years was degraded to the dust by a woman, your Han family is powerful and famous, why don't you go to suffer and suffer, do practical things for the country and the people, the Han family should take the lead in Tianyu, but they never only talk but don't see actual action.

"I ordered Xiao Hu to take in a few children, does Concubine Han have any opinions?" The emperor walked in as he spoke.

Everyone greeted each other and sat down in turn, the emperor glanced at Concubine Han lightly, not to blame her for not liking the emperor's brother, and she wouldn't like it if she was herself, arrogant, selfish, and self-righteous.

"Your Majesty, why did you do this, how can his ability and character be qualified for the position of the master of the royal family, since ancient times, all the people hired by the royal family are well-educated and famous all over the world, which one of his rules meets? If you really like him, let him teach the Mu family and the other two children, as for Xiao Jiu and Ah Chen, you will definitely be able to find a more suitable candidate. Empress Dowager Han made a decision without doubt.

"Does the queen mother want her sons to break their promises? How will the ministers face everyone in the future, and who will submit to an emperor who changes his orders every day. The emperor frowned slightly.

The emperor's words are sharp, the queen mother can be the first person in the harem, even if the queen mother has been suppressing the queen, she has not said anything, because the queen mother has suffered too much and paid too much for the brothers.

However, the old man should not interfere in the affairs of the previous dynasty, and she has no right to interfere, which is not allowed by all dynasties.

Empress Dowager Han's lips moved, and she did not say anything to refute the emperor's words, it is an ancient precept that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, although learning art is not a big deal, but the emperor has announced it in public, so it cannot be changed. Forget it, it's just a trivial matter, just find an opportunity to compensate your grandson in the future.

Now that the matter has come to an end, King Jing got up to say goodbye, and Empress Dowager Han originally wanted to take the opportunity to ease the relationship between her son and niece, but it was really difficult to speak in front of the emperor, so she could only let her son leave.

"Isn't the imperial brother going to thank the imperial brother?" If she didn't come, the queen mother would definitely not let go of this younger brother easily, but Concubine Han was waiting for him there.

"Clear out the Han family in my palace, and I will thank the imperial brother." King Jing is not salty or indifferent.

The emperor is dumbfounded, he is really aggrieved as the emperor, the affairs of the harem have to listen to the queen mother, and he was threatened by his younger brother when he left the harem, pitiful and lamentable!
