Chapter 108: The courtier's heart is peaceful

Now I heard that this Yan Zenyi is the new first talented woman in the capital, and I thought that she would give herself a nice title, but people wanted to call Qiqi. It's really not a family that doesn't enter the family, if he says that the prince will have another daughter in the future, does he want to call the lord of the eight or eight counties?

When everyone heard this self-invited title of Zen Yi, they couldn't help but cover their mouths and chuckle. Many people are thinking about it in their hearts, and they say that they are the first talented women in the capital, but they are so unworthy of the title.

Only in the corner on the high platform, the man with a purple eye, his eyes flashed slightly, and even his eyes were slightly red.

"I'm approved, in addition to the title, I will make Shizhou your fiefdom again, and the prosperity of Shizhou in the future will depend on the Qiqi County Lord." The emperor agreed with a wave of his hand, and by the way, he also threw off the mess of Shizhou.

Shizhou is close to the border city, and it is a city with too long sunshine hours, so there is always a drought every two or three years, and every time the drought makes up for the amount of silver into it, it is like throwing a stone into the water.

The emperor naturally knew that the disaster relief money was being divided along the way, but this official was intertwined, and he didn't bother to care about it, and he didn't want to care about it. Now that he can throw it directly to the Yan family, he not only gave up a lot of trouble, but also made the Yan family grateful to him, why not?

The courtiers all know that their master is a love and mud, although Shizhou can be greedy for a lot of silver in disaster relief, but Shizhou is now poor year by year, and the population is becoming more and more scarce, the emperor is willing to give it to the newly sealed county lord, then send it, anyway, it is just a hard bone that can't squeeze any oil and water.

So everyone had no opinions, so they just sat upright and continued to watch the play.

Yan Zenyi returned to his seat and secretly glimpsed everyone's reactions, a little unclear. But no matter what, my father and brother don't have fiefs, only she does, so she will definitely manage it well and let Shizhou prosper under her leadership.

What's more, Lixian is also subordinate to Shizhou, and now it has become her fiefdom, so all the policies she envisioned before can be realized one by one, right?

The emperor sat back when he saw her ignorant, a little funny, but his eyes skimmed over the pretty woman beside her, but his eyes suddenly deepened, and he looked away after a long pause.

Just as the banquet was about to be announced, a imperial physician and a palace maid hurriedly walked in from outside the palace, and as soon as they entered the hall, they knelt down to report the good news, "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor, Meng Zhaoyi is happy!" ”

Everyone got up and said hello to the emperor with different expressions, except for the queen and the concubine on the stage, whose faces were so blue that they couldn't even force a smile.

Yan Zenyi then understood why today was obviously to promote Meng Zhaoyi's position, but Meng Zhaoyi was not present. It seems that this emperor is still afraid of his daughter-in-law, not only the eldest daughter-in-law, but also the younger daughter-in-law.

"Very good, very good, pass on my will, canonize Meng Zhaoyi as the third grade dream concubine, a pair of jade Ruyi, a pair of nine phoenix hanging beads, a set of sapphire heads, and two five-color silks." The emperor is cold, but the reward is rich.

"Your Majesty, my sister has just been pregnant with a dragon fetus, and this reward is deserved, but isn't it inappropriate for this person to be promoted to the third level in a row." When the queen listened to this precious reward, her heart was sour, and her face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and she couldn't attack in public, as if she was the mother of her country.

When the emperor heard this, he quietly glanced at the imperial doctor on the ground, and the imperial doctor immediately understood, "Queen Qiyu, Meng Zhaoyi didn't just get pregnant, the fetus in her womb has been more than four months old, and according to Weichen's pulse, this fetus is a little prince nine times out of ten." ”

The queen naturally didn't miss the emperor's eyes to the imperial doctor, and there was nothing she didn't understand now.

It was announced after four months of pregnancy, and she was determined to be the prince, and the emperor really liked this dream Zhaoyi.

The queen's fists clenched tightly, and she smirked stiffly, "That being the case, the concubines also congratulate the emperor." Mama Fu, take some good blood swallows from the palace in a while and give them to Sister Mengfei. ”

Yan Zenyi couldn't help but roll her eyes, the blood swallow sent by the queen, does the dream concubine dare to eat it? It was only announced after four months of pregnancy, who is this guarding against? The harem is really, as deep as the sea.

Finally, the curtain came down on this play, and the banquet was finally officially opened, although the food in the imperial dining room was delicious, but there was no hot dish, although Yan Zenyi was hungry, he had no appetite.

In particular, after the emperor mentioned in the imperial dining room that he wanted to fry vegetables with lard, these dishes were cold and formed milky white lard blocks, and even the appearance was much worse.

Yan Zenyi didn't have much appetite, so he wanted to get up and go out for a walk, but saw Su Ruoshui also stand up. She hesitated for a moment, then got up and walked over to her brother and sat down again.

However, Li Enchanting had a pair of eyes on Su Ruoshui, and now when she saw him get up and walk out of the main hall, she also got up and walked out with some uncontrollable emotions.

"Today is the Begging Festival, it should be a good day for lovers to complain to each other, I am here today, if the boys and girls of each family look at each other, you can come and tell me, I will immediately decree marriage." The emperor saw that today's ascension to Zhaoyi's position was so smooth, and his mood instantly improved.

As soon as the emperor gave his order, the courtiers were a little eager to try, and they had already made a marriage, and they came directly to ask for the marriage gift. On this Qixi Festival, the emperor has also had enough of a month of old addiction.

Yan Chanyi didn't pay attention to the situation in the hall, and only silently listened to his father talk about the situation in Shizhou.

I thought it was just a fief, but I didn't expect it to be a bottomless pit, becoming the fief of the lord of Qiqi, and if there is a drought in the future, the court will not allocate any more money, and the fief lord will pay out of his own pocket. After all, all the taxes in the fief belong to the fief lord, and they will not be handed over to the imperial court.

Yan Zenyi is not as pessimistic as her father sees, the sunshine has the benefit of the sunshine time, as for the drought, when she goes back to study the topography of Shizhou, the nearby rivers, it is not difficult to divert water.

She believes that with the modern knowledge stored in her head, none of this will be a problem.

"Your Majesty, the courtier's daughter Fang Yuwei has been in peace for a long time, and she begged the emperor to give her a marriage." A cardamom girl was kneeling in the palace at this time, begging for the emperor's marriage.

When Yan Chanyi heard An Ninghou's name, he noticed that Su Ruoshui had come back from outside the hall at some point, and was sitting in his seat drinking tea. And Li Enchanting, who had already walked back to her seat, heard this, paused obviously, and walked back to her seat and sat down as if nothing had happened.

"Oh? An Ninghou is almost twenty-six, it's time to marry a wife and have children. When I was so old in An Ninghou, the eldest princess had already run all over the ground. The emperor glanced at the girl in the audience, Fang Yuwei, the daughter of Fang Shilang of the Ministry of Industry, although her status was a little low, but if An Ninghou was willing, he would be happy to do it.

Su Ruoshui glanced lightly at the direction of Yan Zen's clothes, but Li Enchanting happened to be in this direction, and everyone only thought that he was looking at this Enchanting at this glance, after all, the two of them were still wearing clothes with the same color, and it looked like they had been agreed.

"The minister already has someone who pleases him, Miss Xie Fang is wrong to love." Su Ruoshui's gaze turned back, and his voice was still faint.

Everyone had just noticed Su Ruoshui's gaze, and just now he and Li Enchanting walked out of the hall one after another, and came back one after another, so they naturally had a lot of associations with these two people.

And although this Fang Yuwei is only the daughter of a fourth-grade official, she is the only daughter in the family, and she can be regarded as growing up with thousands of favors.

And she has always had an inevitable attachment to Su Ruoshui, so she directly turned her head to Li Enchanting and provoked, "I don't know which noble girl this young lady is?" ”

"This is the godsister of the county lord, Li Enchanting, who just came to the capital to play." Yan Zenyi had already walked back to Li Enchanting's side at this moment, and held Li Enchanting's hand tightly to show comfort.

"Oh, it's not from the capital." Fang Yuwei snorted contemptuously, and said in an unkind tone, "I don't know if this Miss Li dares to compete with me to see who is more worthy of the Marquis of Anning." ”

Li Enchanting glanced at Su Ruoshui slightly, but Su Ruoshui drank tea indifferently, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.

In fact, he was a little apprehensive in his heart, he wanted to stand up and say that it was not Miss Li that he liked, but the uncontrollable look of affection just now was seen by everyone. At this time, he said that he was not a happy girl, and everyone would naturally guess that he was pleasing to Yan Zenyi.

He didn't want people to know that what he liked was Yan Zenyi, and that was not a good thing for Yan Zenyi or himself, so he could only remain silent.

Just outside the Hall of Forgotten Worries, the enchanting confession is still vivid. Don't ask for fame, just for companionship.

In fact, he was not moved, for so many years, there were not many women who said to him like this, but his heart was always calm.

Until Yan Zenyi appeared, his heart as hard as a stone seemed to fall apart in an instant, revealing the softest part inside, ready to move.

Yan Zenyi just wanted to refuse this boring challenge for her senior sister, but her senior sister had already stood up and responded, "Okay, what do you want to compare?" ”

"You can compare it to anything, others in the province say that I bully the village girl in the countryside." Fang Yuwei was very disgusted with Li Enchanting's foxy face, and she didn't want to look at it more, but she dared to stand up to fight, which made her a little more annoyed.

"Okay, then let's compete." Li Enchanted looked faint, as if she hadn't heard her taunt.

"It's better than dancing, let me go down and change my clothes first." Fang Yuwei blessed her body as she spoke, and walked towards the outside of the hall.

Li Enchanting sat down a little confused, and asked in a low voice to Yan Zenyi beside him, "Do you need to change your clothes first in the martial arts competition in the capital?" ”

Yan Zenyi raised his forehead and said, "What Miss Fang said is a competition, a dance of dance, and your competition are completely two different meanings." ”

Li Enchanting asked with a confused and embarrassed face at this moment, "Then what should I do, I can only dance with martial arts." ”
