033 Changxing
Liu Jian stood on the Changxing Tower with his hands full of ambition, looking down on all living beings. In his eyes, the bustling crowd is like a busy ant, funny but ridiculous.
"Xiaocha, your idea is really good. I asked those craftsmen to stay in Beijing and wait for the next year to carve twenty ice lanterns! "His mother is Concubine Shun Wan, and she has the appearance of a captivating city. Of course, Liu Jian is also a talent. However, it is slightly inferior to Yanhuang jade, and there is a slight gloom between the eyebrows.
The corners of Yan Huangyu's lips curved slightly, and she lazily lifted her eyelids, "After playing with the ice lantern, it is not rare." It's better to simply build a seven-story pagoda. ”
"Yes, you're right." Liu Jian's eyebrows fluttered and said: "You are still knowledgeable, none of those old antiques of the Ministry of Rites can be used." You see what they have when they come up with bad ideas, what kind of marquee is as high as one person, what kind of big lantern that two people hug together. It's the big one alone? How stupid! Fortunately, I listened to you and asked someone to make an ice lantern. ”
"You'll have to praise them as hard as you can in your majesty's presence. Otherwise, Your Majesty will lose face. Yan Huangyu picked up a bone-in abalone snail and took a bite.
Liu Jian nodded like pounding garlic, "What you said is right, I listen to you." Xuan was very angry, "It's obviously your credit, but you have to press on them." What's going on?! ”
"You can't say that. The Ministry of Rites has no merit and hard work. Be considerate of your servants, as your Majesty is compassionate to them. Yanhuang Yufeng's eyes narrowed slightly, "Besides, I can't be an official, so I want those false names to do anything." ”
"Who says you can't be an official? Isn't your father-in-law a eunuch? Liu Jian raised his chin arrogantly, "In the future, I will definitely make you more beautiful than Lord Ming." ”
The corners of Yan Huangyu's lips curved slightly, "Your Highness is cautious." ”
Liu Jian also smiled, pointed at him and said, "Be cautious." I heard that the eldest girl of the Pei family called you 'Brother Xiaocha' in public, she shouldn't be coveting your beauty. As he spoke, he slapped his thigh with joy.
Yan Huang's jade eyes crossed a trace of impatience, straightened his face, and said: "Your Highness knows that I am a eunuch and still makes such a joke......" Before the words fell, he got up and was about to leave.
The frightened Liu Jian grabbed his sleeve and said yes, "Xiaocha Xiaocha, don't be angry." I'm not kidding you. ”
Yan Huangyu ignored it, threw off her sleeves and left.
Liu Jian hugged Yan Huangyu's arm and coaxed carefully, "Xiaocha, don't worry about it for the sake of the Shangyuan Festival today." Want...... Or I'll give you the gems I got from the previous days and make you a pendant. ”
Yan Huangyu gave up and sat back down, "You better keep and coax those beauties of you." No, the diamond you gave me I liked tightly, I wore it all the time. As he spoke, he showed Liu Jian the pendant on the small silk fan.
Liu Jian took out a silk handkerchief to wipe the beads of sweat from the corners of his forehead, and said with emotion: "That is, you treat me as a friend and really think about me." Come, I salute you! ”
The wine is Yan Huangyu's favorite green bead fragrance, and after three cups in a row, the warmth swells up on the face.
"Xiaocha, if King Kang really marries the Duke of Eguo, it won't be wonderful."
In the early years of the first emperor, Yuan Wenzhong, the king of Ninghe, rebelled. Xu Lingda was ordered to quell the chaos, annihilated tens of thousands of enemies, captured 300 generals, and made great contributions. Later, the first emperor named him the Duke of Hubei. And the Xu family will be fierce in many years. Emperor Yifeng also treated the Xu family very kindly.
Recently, there have been rumors in Beijing that Xu Lingda's granddaughter Xu Jingyi fell in love with Liu Tong at first sight and wanted to marry him.
The girls of the Xu family have to practice martial arts since they were children, although they don't need to go to the army to practice, they are also strong in martial arts, which is not quite the same as ordinary noblewomen. The martial arts of that second girl Xu made it easy for one person to take on a dozen or so strong men.
Such a girl is comparable to a true warrior. So much so that Liu Jian couldn't help but feel ashamed of herself when she mentioned Miss Xu Er.
Yan Huangyu said: "The Xu family will not marry King Kang's Mansion. ”
Emperor Yifeng was jealous of King Kang, and Xu Lingda would not make trouble for himself at the slightest glance.
"That's good!" Liu Jian's eyes lit up, "Xiaocha, I won't hide it from you, my mother wants me to take the second girl Xu as a side concubine." He poured Yanhuang Yu full of wine, "This lantern festival is very impressive, and my father must be happy." If I asked my mother to mention this, it would be possible, right? ”
Yan Huangyu smiled, "It can't be done." ”
"Why? Miss Xu Er is almost over. If it drags on any longer, I don't know who will be cheaper? No way! I'm going to take her in! Liu Jian was just a weak crown and was already a father of three children, but at this time, he was like a child competing with others for candy, and his face was flushed with anxiety.
"She may not be willing to let her be a concubine, let alone a concubine." Yan Huangyu didn't want to talk too deeply to Liu Jian, so she only picked what he could understand.
Liu Jian was instantly deflated, drooped his shoulders, and muttered in a low voice, "I also know that I have wronged her." But I can't help it, who made her five or six years younger than me. ”
Even if you are the same age, you can't make it. Xu Lingda will never let his granddaughter be a concubine for the second fool. If it is replaced by the Seven Princes...... Maybe it's still possible. Yan Huangyu thought to herself.
The two drank a few more glasses, and Yan Huangyu saw that it was almost time, so she got up and said goodbye. He still has to go with Hua Jiu to "meet" Miss Pei San. What a hassle! If you tie it up, it won't be so much. Yan Huangyu was a little irritable.
He is gone, Liu Jian is not bored by himself, it is better to go back and coax the beauty. The two walked out of Changxing Building side by side, and Bai Ying hurriedly came with a white hat and square lamp to report: "Sixth master, there are four more proverbs." ”
When the words fell, Yan Huang Yusheng shivered, and suddenly had a bad premonition.
Bai Ying brought the lantern to the forefront, "Look. ”
"In June, the snow flies south of the Yangtze River, and the song is filled with sorrow. The voices are sad and complaining, and the tombs are mourned everywhere. Yan Huangyu recited in a low voice, and a chill rose from the bottom of her heart. Before the New Year's Month, such an obscure proverb was made, how would the people react?
"Who else has seen this lantern?"
Bai Ying grimaced, "That's too much." This lantern hung swaggeringly in front of the tent of Changming Academy. Some people thought it was a gimmick of Changming Academy, and read it aloud several times in front of many people. Some people heard that something was wrong, and only then did they react that it was a proverb. It's all talking about it right now. Some people copied it on the spot, saying that they would go back and think about it. ”
If it weren't for the Dongchang brand, how could those people let him take the lantern. It was even said that the lantern should be placed on the shrine and offered.
What a mess!
Liu Jian jumped to his feet in anger, "This, who?!" Who is so bold? After thinking about it, he shouted, "This is for me!" Seventh! It must be the seventh! The lantern festival was done well, and it rushed to his lungs! ”
Yan Huangyu raised his forehead and whispered to him: "Your Majesty is the most jealous of brothers. If someone with a heart tells His Highness this to His Majesty, it will be terrible, and then won't it make the relatives and enemies happy? ”
