The Yao family in Jiangnan has always been a big problem for the imperial court.

This time this time to remove this confidant, the emperor Long Yan Dayue, early in the morning to draw up the reward rules, as soon as Li Yan entered the palace, the emperor couldn't wait to show him this draft recital.

The detailed rules for the reward were drafted by Cui Jiu, a scholar from Zhongshushe, and the emperor has also read it, of course, there is no problem.

It's just—

Li Yan looked at Chi Changting's reward details and hesitated.

Chi Changting risked his life into the enemy's den, before the little girl Chi came back, he also commanded the resistance to the Yao army, this time to quell the rebellion, he was the first meritorious, according to the military merits awarded the rank of the fourth grade is no problem, but in addition to the honor, and the knighthood, it is a bit too much.

I don't know if this result was won by the Duke of Qi Guogong, or if the emperor had a special appreciation for Chi Changting, or if it was a temptation for him......

Li Yan's eyes were slightly gloomy, and he said: "Erchen thinks that the award is enough, and there is no need to be knighted." ”

"Oh?" The emperor laughed, "If you don't become a knight, can your uncle explain it?" ”

Li Yan groaned for a moment and said, "Maybe it can benefit his wife and daughter." "Chi Changting's parents had already been posthumously sealed when he was promoted to Wu Juntai Punctuality, and the only ones left were his wife and daughter.

The emperor smiled and said, "You are thoughtful-" Zhao Cui Jiu glanced at him, "Redraft a copy!" ”

Li Yan looked at it, his heart moved, and said: "His mother has been posthumously crowned the prince of the fourth grade, and his deceased wife should be demoted to show her dignity, why don't you give her daughter the title of township monarch again to show your majesty's favor?" ”

It's just a little girl, the emperor won't care, nodding his head and making Cui Jiu add it, he said in an excited tone: "Tonight's celebration banquet will reward meritorious deeds and cheer up the soldiers!" ”

Li Yan's eyebrows frowned slightly.

Tonight's reward, tomorrow morning, Miss Chi will enter the palace to thank her.

When she first arrived, she didn't know anyone, and she was about to enter the palace without any preparation, wouldn't she be panicked?

……

Coming out of the Liangyi Palace, there is still some time before the celebration banquet in the evening.

Li Yan walked towards the East Palace and ordered: "Find Xue 11 and Xue 12!" ”

Xue Shiyi was the prince's personal guard, and Li Yan saw him as soon as he returned to the East Palace.

"The daughter of Chi Changting is named the Xiangjun of Dongting, and she will enter the palace early tomorrow morning to thank her-" Li Yan took off her clothes and looked back at Xue Shiyi, "She has been away from Beijing for many years, and it is the first time she has entered the palace, you let Ah Zheng enter the palace tomorrow and take care of it!" ”

Xue Shiyi was stunned and asked, "Chi Changting's daughter, that little crying bag?" ”

Li Yan frowned: "Have you seen her?" ”

Xue Shiyi nodded: "In the past, when Mrs. Chi was still there, she would take her to the Qi State Mansion to play, that girl was cute, but she was too timid, and the grasshoppers made of straw could scare her to cry." ”

Li Yan calculated, Miss Chi lost her mother at the age of six, Mrs. Chi lingered on the sickbed for more than a year, and when she could bring it to the Qi Mansion to play, she would be five years old at most-

"Bullying a four- or five-year-old girl, is it worth your pride until now?" Li Yan said coldly.

Xue Shiyi said, "She is four years old, and I am six years old...... Isn't that ignorant......"

"If you don't know anything, can you remember it until now?"

Xue Shiyi poured bitter water: "Your Highness, you don't know, I just took a grasshopper to tease her, and Chi Changting slandered my father and sent me to the military camp for drills - can you not remember this?" I'm only six years old! It's just inhumane! ”

Li Yan said indifferently: "Lonely began to practice martial arts at the age of five. ”

At this point, Xue Shiyi could probably be sure that he couldn't find comfort in the prince's cousin about this matter.

glanced at Li Yan sadly, and sighed: "Okay, then I'll go back to find Ah Zheng." ”

"No need—" Li Yan said, "Lone has summoned Ah Zheng into the palace, you can go to Jiafumen and wait for her." ”

Xue Shiyi was stunned and asked, "Why did His Highness summon her into the palace?" ”

Li Yan said: "You let Ah Zheng go to Wangxian Hall and Chengxiang Palace." ”

Xue Shiyi gasped.

There is no one in the middle palace, and the three concubines in the palace are the eldest - the noble concubine of Chengjia Palace, Concubine Zheng Hui of Wangxian Palace, and Concubine Lu Shu of Chengxiang Palace.

Now the harem is the chief photographer of the noble concubine, the concubine Hui and the concubine are assistants, and the girl Chi enters the palace to thank her, if nothing else, the three ladies will see her.

Is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince planning to buy off the two except the noble concubine?

Xue Shiyi asked cautiously: "Your Highness, that Xiaochi girl, is it now out of the country and the country?" ”

Li Yan thought for a while and said, "What does it have to do with you?" ”

……

When Chi Tang received the reward, Chi Changting was still in the palace for a banquet and did not return.

When he came back, the Liuyuan was brightly lit, and in the hall, there was a woman in palace clothes with her back to the door, her posture was tense, and the woman in palace clothes was facing Qingyi with an expressionless face.

And the little girl of his family, sitting on the couch behind Tsing Yi, holding something in her arms, her eyebrows and eyes were sleepy, and when she saw him come in, she opened her mouth as if she wanted to shout, but she yawned.

On the contrary, the maids were relieved to see him come back, and shouted happily as if they were ushering in a savior: "Lang Jun is back!" ”

"What's going on?" Chi Changting stepped into the hall, and Tsing Yi bowed his head and stepped aside, giving him the place.

"Zhangbin, Zhangbin want to teach me the etiquette of entering the palace......" Chi Tang said, yawning again, sleepy and tearful.

A trace of anger flashed in Chi Changting's eyes, he walked in front of his daughter, turned around to block her behind him, and looked coldly at the woman in palace clothes.

Whoever enters the palace for the first time, the palace will send a chamberlain or female official to teach etiquette, so as not to collide with the nobles.

As soon as he entered the house, he heard a report from someone that the noble concubine had sent a guest from the Shangyi Bureau.

Luckily, he came over and took a look.

The palm guest gradually became timid under his gaze, and was about to say a few words of relaxation, when he heard him scold: "What time is it, why don't you know how to wait for the palm guest to rest!" ”

The maids hurriedly stepped forward to invite each other.

Zhangbin flicked his sleeves angrily: "The townsman hasn't finished learning yet-"

"I'll do it all!" Chi Tang stretched out his head from behind Chi Changting and shouted, pulling the corner of Chi Changting's clothes and said aggrievedly, "I obviously know how to do it, and the palm guest still wants me to do it a few times!" ”

In her previous life, she was also summoned by the palace as an orphan, and it was this guest who came to teach her etiquette.

At that time, she was unsettled, and she did not study well, and was reprimanded a lot, and only let her go to rest after studying for a long time.

This time, because he had already learned it once, it was not difficult to learn it again, but this palm guest still reprimanded and reprimanded him like in his previous life.

Now Chi Tang understands that this palm guest is deliberately making things difficult for her!

I simply didn't do it, anyway, there was Tsing Yi in the way.

Hum! She's not just being bullied right now!

"Daddy, I'm really going to do it-" The voice suddenly lowered, "She's just bullying me!" ”

Chi Changting touched her head and said to the palm guest: "At the Son of Heaven court meeting, there are occasional sudden summons of civilians, and there is no time to teach etiquette, so they are accompanied by the celebrant to remind her-" After a pause, he smiled coldly, "Is it that the concubine has bigger rules than His Majesty, or is it that the palm guest of the Shangyi Bureau has not learned etiquette and does not dare to accompany and remind?" ”
