The meals are prepared early in the morning, because some dishes take a bit long to prepare.

Roast duck is a must-have, and if you don't come to Yanjing City, you don't have a roast duck, which is equivalent to coming for nothing.

In addition, there are four or five hard dishes, elbow, pig's head meat, braised mutton pot, soft-shelled turtle soup, and secret flower chicken;

These dishes are circled around the table,

middle

It is a rare fried phoenix tail in winter.

When the guest arrived, he should introduce the family, which is the least respect, but his wife and concubine are pregnant, and it is inconvenient to come out, so he can only let his son do it for him.

After seeing the guest, he was also hugged by the son of the Li family, and received a small string of copper coins from the son of the Li family, and Ji Lao Liu asked the servant woman to take his son to sleep.

Regarding the matter of letting his son stay up late to meet guests so late, Ji Lao Liu was not reluctant at all, nor did he feel the slightest guilt;

This kind of forced business, his father did a lot more than this kid back then.

are all cubs of the Ji family,

It's all Ji Eggs,

It's much more comfortable for you to be with me than with your grandfather.

However, thinking that his son would be taken to Mrs. Fengxin's mansion after a while, Ji Lao Liu was really a little reluctant in his heart.

But I can't bear the child to catch the wolf,

Succession,

said that it depends on the general trend of the world,

To look at the court, to look at the military power,

It depends on the will of the two princes,

But at the end of the day,

Look,

It's still the preference of his father.

The old man is "old", watching this winter pass, and the next winter will probably be out of play.

For an emperor, the most sensitive moment is also the most dangerous moment, but at the same time, it is also the weakest moment.

I really can't bear the child can't trap the wolf,

Your father has a big throne, and you can't run a prince,

The two of us naturally have to work together!

Ah Fei stood there, slightly restrained, isn't this pretending? If the furnishings here in the palace are very magnificent, then it is fine, but the design is full of sense, revealing a very high taste? This made Ah Fei, who had never been out of Chenjiazhuang much, a little constrained.

Ji Lao Liu turned around and beckoned Ah Fei to take a seat,

Said with a smile:

"In my place, let's not be polite and restrained, after all? We are also half-brothers. ”

"........." Ah Fei.

"Eat, I've eaten the food in the Hou Mansion? Wait until you get back? It's going to be clear soup and little water. ”

Ah Fei nodded, you're welcome? Pick up the braised elbow and start gnawing.

Ji Chengjue picked up the dough and helped him wrap the roast duck, wrapped one and handed it over.

Ah Fei ate so happily.

"Almost? It's time for you to talk about your daughter-in-law. Ji Chengjue said with a smile.

"I'm still early? It's still early, and I haven't thought about this stubble yet. ”

"What kind of woman do you like? Tell me? ”

"I really didn't think about it."

"Then I ask you,

One? Everyone is beautiful, and they are wise;

Two? Slim? The posture is moving;

Three? Zhang Gong rides a horse, a heroic woman;

Fourth, the family is rigorous, so as not to worry about you;

Fifth, they have similar tempers and raise their eyebrows.

What do you think? ”

Ah Fei swallowed the food in his mouth,

Road:

"Sixth brother, it's hard to find a woman like this, right?"

"It's not difficult, it's not difficult, it's not difficult at all, you're the son of the world after all."

"But, even if I am the son of the world, such a woman is rare in the world, but it is impossible to meet, right?"

"As long as you do a little bit, you'll be fine."

"Which point?"

"Don't let the five of them meet."

"Huh? Five? Burst! ”

"Hahahaha!"

After eating and drinking almost over, Ah Fei really couldn't eat it, he smiled a little embarrassedly, and pointed to the lot of meat left on the table,

"Can you let me pack this and take it with me?"

"No problem, I don't like to waste food, and the rest of the dishes will be put out of the pot tomorrow with some other dishes, or we can make noodles and use them as toppings.

You won't be able to leave tomorrow anyway. ”

"Can't go?"

"Well, Father will see you."

"I want to see you...... Your Majesty? ”

"Don't worry, my father has always been very good to the younger generation."

Except, to their own sons.

"Me, do I need anything to prepare?"

"Get a good night's sleep."

……

The next morning, Ji Chengjue was rarely absent from the government, so he didn't go to the household department, but got into the carriage again with Ah Fei and went to the back garden.

After arriving at the back garden,

Ji Chengjue and Ah Fei got out of the carriage together.

Ah Fei was a little nervous, this is not pretending, although he knew his background for a long time, but you let a young man who grew up in the village suddenly want to see His Majesty, not panic, it is impossible.

Ji Chengjue was actually a little panicked, because he suddenly realized that he didn't seem to have been to the back garden for a long time.

The crown prince has done a better job than himself in this regard, even if he can't see his father, he will come over every now and then to say goodbye.

But Ji Chengjue didn't want to do this,

At this time, I will pretend to come up and act,

defiled the old man,

Also disgusted with myself.

The Ouchi guards checked their identities, and after going through a process, two red-robed eunuchs came out and led Ji Chengjue and Ah Fei in.

The back garden, from the handwriting of the Qianren, the Qianren design plus a vote of excellent Qianren craftsmen built a palace here with the style of the Qianguo Jiangnan.

In war, it is not good to be a dry man, but for pleasure, you really have to obey.

In different seasons, the scenery is also different, even in this winter, there is no slight, but gives people a more exquisite quiet.

Ah Fei watched as he walked, following behind Ji Chengjue.

In the front corridor, Wei Zhonghe Wei Gonggong was already waiting, he stepped forward and said to Ji Chengjue;

"Your Highness hasn't been here for a long time."

It's a complaint, but it's also a reminder.

The relationship between Ji Chengjue and the eunuchs in the palace has always been excellent, and it stands to reason that this is a big taboo;

Whether it is a courtier or a prince outside, it is a big crime to privately marry the inner palace.

But Ji Chengjue still did this, and the most important thing is that he didn't have the handle to let people catch him at all.

Because he would not give gold and silver to the eunuchs, but would rub their food and their silver.

At the beginning, when Ji Chengjue was picked up the most by his father, the cornmeal nest was really unable to gnaw, so a big eunuch took turns to fight the autumn wind every day.

The Min family, the head of the businessmen who used to crisscross Dayan, when the children of his family became adults, did not learn to do business from the counter first, but went to the restaurant under the Min family to be a junior for a year.

Therefore, the Min family has always been smooth sailing, and while the family has a big business, it is also cautious.

The only negligence was probably when he married his daughter into the palace, the old man was too happy, and he really liked his pearl too much, so the dowry was too generous.

Of course

You can't blame the old man of the Min family at the beginning, even if he doesn't do anything, even if he is low and small, even if he eats chaff vegetables, even if he only wears sackcloth and doesn't touch silk, you still can't run away with such an emperor.

When there were many gate valves, how could they all be heinous?

They have no place to reason.

At this time, in the face of Grandpa Wei's kind reminder, Ji Chengjue shook his head and said:

"It's a busy business."

This, by extension, actually has the meaning of resentment.

You're comfortable fighting,

Meritorious service, an emperor through the ages,

And then you pat your ass and put it back in the garden to raise it,

Leave this mess for me to clean up.

Gonggong Wei no longer said too much, but saluted Ah Fei beside him:

"Slave Wei Zhonghe, I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince."

Ah Fei hurriedly avoided it, but he was not as "flattered" as last night, or had a "goodbye" with Grandpa Wei.

Here we go,

Everything around you seems to have a kind of magic that can extinguish all your thoughts.

Because, His Majesty the Emperor of Dayan, is here.

Ninety-Five Supreme,

If it is a clay fetal statue, and it is played by the ministers in front of the minister to refer to the deer as a horse, then there is really nothing to be afraid of;

But if it is the supreme who has eyes like torches, amazing power, and wisdom and martial arts, the pressure brought by it is really terrifying.

Ah Fei didn't dare to be smart here, he knew that he didn't deserve it;

Even the Lao Tzu he had never seen before, when he saw that person here, he had to be half a step behind and be a younger brother.

"Your Majesty has just woken up, and the slave will lead the two highnesses down."

Emperor Yan was not in the house, but in a pavilion, sitting on a chair with two layers of blankets on his body.

There is no stove,

Continuously taking that kind of "pill" is a bit like a dry person taking Wushisan, and the body will be hot and dry from time to time.

Even the blanket right now is not comfortable to cover, and I really want to go to cool off.

But Emperor Yan knows that he is not hot, but his body bones can't withstand another wind chill.

The irritation in his heart has long been cultivated by him to the point that he can be stripped away or ignored.

"The son asks his father to say goodbye, long live his father, long live long live!"

"Xiaomin, see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Son

Set aside;

Emperor Yan's gaze fell on Ah Fei first.

forthwith

Emperor Yan said fairly to the Duke of Wei who was on his side:

"It's really a bit like what Liang Ting looked like when he was young."

Ah Fei trembled and continued to kneel;

When Ji Chengjue heard this, he was unconsciously a little tired in his heart,

Father Xiao in the mouth of his own Lao Tzu,

A lot of the time, it often turns into a curse.

"Makes you suffer." Yan Huang said.

Ah Feima said:

"Your Majesty, Xiaomin ........."

"Minister."

"Yes, the minister is not bitter, although the minister has lived a colder life in Chenjiazhuang over the years, it is also delicious, and no one has bullied the minister.

Especially in these years,

The village re-granted the land,

Life is better than before, and there is more momentum.

Being able to be a small common man in Dayan under the rule of His Majesty is actually a blessing. ”

"Heh......"

Emperor Yan laughed,

Then he looked at his son,

Road;

"What did he say?"

Ji Chengjue said:

"If you go back to your father's words, after the spring begins, you should be able to eat quickly."

"........." Ah Fei.

Emperor Yan looked at Ji Chengjue and said;

"Whose responsibility is this?"

"Back to my father's words, it is the son's fault that he failed to manage the household department and Dayan's finances."

"Resentment?"

Ji Chengjue shook his head,

Road;

"The father's debts are repaid by the son, and the common people understand and recognize the truth, and the sons and daughters have been reading and reasoning since childhood, and it is impossible not to understand them."

Gonggong Wei on the side was a little anxious, on weekdays, His Royal Highness the Sixth can be said to be the most observant, why did he dare to talk to His Majesty like this as if he had taken medicine today, with a gun and a stick.

"No matter how difficult it is, it can't compare to my time, when the Great Yan world only knew the gate valve and didn't know that there was an emperor like me.

Then

It's not a question of whether your business is difficult or not,

It's that you simply don't have anything to do.

If you don't say hello to the local gate valve, the holy decree is about to leave Tiancheng County.

Difficult

Prove that you can still do it. ”

"Yes, the son remembers the teachings of his father."

"You, too." These words were said by Emperor Yan to Ah Fei, "Beifeng County is not a good place to raise people, I don't care what kind of life you lived a few years ago, but I have only one requirement for your future path."

Look at the Chenjiazhuang where you once lived, think about it more, Dayan, there are many, many Chenjiazhuang, they are all behind your Hou Mansion.

later

No matter what happens,

You have to ask yourself,

Are you willing to let thousands of Chenjiazhuang become the scorched earth under the iron riding of the barbarians? ”

"Remember!"

"Everyone, what position they sit in, what kind of responsibility they have to bear, to be a prince, to be an official, to be an official, to be a prince, to be a prince, naturally to be a prince.

You haven't seen your father,

That I,

I'll teach you first.

Right now

Stand up for me. ”

Ah Fei slowly stood up and looked at the emperor lying on the chair in front of him.

His knees began to tremble.

"People, it's not that you can't kneel, but you have to kneel comfortably, if you kneel comfortably now, think of a way to make yourself comfortable in the future.

These are the words that your father said to my face back then;

Your father is your son,

later

You are the Zhenbei King of Dayan.

Your knees,

I'll have to punch a few steel nails into it, and in the future, even if it collapses that day, I won't be able to bend it in the slightest.

When I saw you coming,

Wrong with your legs? ”

"Back to Your Majesty's words, the minister has a disabled leg since he was a child."

Emperor Yan nodded,

"It's not a big deal, I hope that in ten years, twenty years from now, the barbarians will hate you so much that they gnash their teeth, and if you can do the barbarian sacrifice day and night to curse that dead cripple, how can you not die;

Thou king of the north of the town,

Even if it's deserved. ”

"The minister knows, and the minister will definitely not live up to His Majesty's expectations!"

"Well, I made a decree today, from today onwards, except for my parents, no one meets me, even if they face me again, they don't have to kneel anymore."

"Your Majesty, thank you."

Ah Fei knelt down and saluted.

"I said, don't kneel."

"Back to Your Majesty's words, Ah Fei has never seen his father and mother since he was a child, His Majesty is the first person to say these words to Ah Fei as an elder, in Ah Fei's eyes, His Majesty is Ah Fei's elder and parent."

"Hehehe."

Emperor Yan smiled,

to Wei Zhong River Road;

"How is it compared to Ping Xihou?"

"Back to Your Majesty's words, since you are the Marquis of Pingxi, more, that, more ........."

"When it comes to nice things, I haven't seen him better, hehe."

"But isn't it, Your Majesty, if it weren't for the prince of Jingnan who valued him back then, the slave would really want to ......... at that time."

Grandpa Wei was stuck,

Straight sissy thief,

What the hell are you talking about?

People are now the Hou Ye, you actually said that you wanted to castrate him and send him to the palace before?

Let's not talk about what Pingxihou will think when he knows this,

It's your majesty in front of you,

Do you want to cut off the marquis of my relatives?

Fortunately, Emperor Yan didn't ask in detail, because the prince came over at this time.

"Prince."

"Son-in-law, see father."

"Lead your Li brothers to lunch."

"Yes, Father."

When the prince came, he didn't say a word to his father, and was immediately asked to go and greet his relatives for dinner.

Lunch was in another pavilion.

Ah Fei first saluted the prince seriously, but he didn't kneel, and the prince returned the salute.

The feeling that the crown prince gave Ah Fei was completely different from that of His Royal Highness Six.

His Royal Highness the Sixth is very free and casual when he does things and speaks, while the prince is polite, and his every move follows the etiquette, and the prince looks like a prince.

The three of them sat down together,

It stands to reason that

This should be a small gathering of the Ji family brothers and the Li family brothers.

The dish was brought up.

Because His Majesty can't eat big fish and meat now, plus this is a back garden, and the prince himself likes to eat lightly, so the dishes sent are exquisite, but for Ah Fei, it is a little too elegant.

"There is still official business in the afternoon, and we will replace wine with tea."

The prince raised his teacup,

Ji Chengjue and Ah Fei both raised their glasses.

When the prince eats, he doesn't like to talk, so the dinner table is very quiet, and he just eats silently.

Meal

The prince washed his hands from the basin brought by the attendant,

While wiping it with a towel, he said to Ah Fei:

"Come to the East Palace in the evening, let's talk."

"Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince."

Ah Fei immediately responded.

The prince seemed to want to say something more, but he still felt that the atmosphere was not relaxed enough.

If it was in the East Palace, it would never be like this, but after all, this is where his father lives now.

The most important thing is that his sixth brother, this time, did not go to enliven the atmosphere.

The news that Xiaoliu brought the prince of Zhenbei Wangfu into Beijing was known to all the forces and big figures in the capital.

The statement given to him by his staff is that Xiao Liuzi wants to play the card of Zhenbei Wangfu.

The prince didn't care,

Because the table has been circled,

It's too late to woo anything or do anything outside.

but

or,

Is his sixth brother for other purposes?

It is said that the Marquis of Pingxi is the signboard of the Six Masters Party,

But in fact, the prince knows that why his sixth brother can still accommodate talents on the basis that his prince still occupies the orthodox name, and there is an endless stream of them, is because in the eyes of outsiders, the six princes of Dayan are the real Bole.

This is no longer called a horse bone in Qianjin City, but a horse god.

In comparison, in his own hands, there are many talents, but none of them can really shine like Pingxihou, and they don't even have the qualifications to compete.

The prince said to Ah Fei again;

"In the evening, call your sister over again."

"Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince."

"Sixth brother, if you have something to do with the household today, you can let it go first and entertain the Li family brothers."

"Don't worry, second brother."

The prince nodded and left.

When the prince is gone,

Ah Fei saw that the six princes didn't know where to find a food box, brought it to the table, opened it, and there was a plate of braised chicken thighs inside.

Ji Chengjue smiled,

took out a chicken leg and handed it to Ah Fei,

Road;

"I guessed that the food here must be light, come, we are our own people, open a small stove first."

Ah Fei took the chicken leg and took a bite, it was so fragrant.

Ji Chengjue also eats chicken legs,

gaze

inadvertently swept in the other direction,

Why was he so blunt in front of his father before? Risking a pinch with a stick?

Fig,

Isn't it just a desire to promote and suppress first?

lick somebody's boots

You have to use your brain;

Your prince came to greet him rain or shine,

Is it worth a chicken leg from Lao Tzu?

……

Inside the pavilion,

Gonggong Wei bent down and reported to Yan Huangyu, who was lying there with his eyes half-closed:

"Your Majesty, after the crown prince left, His Royal Highness the Sixth took out the chicken legs that were secretly brought in and happily gnawed them with the prince."

"Oh?"

Yan Huang's eyes slowly opened.

His own son, and Li Liangting's son,

Hiding from the person who likes to eat at every turn, paying attention to health and abiding by the rules, he is secretly eating chicken legs.

Wei Zhonghe saw,

The corners of Your Majesty's mouth,

A smile grew.

"Wei Zhonghe."

"The minions are here."

"I've thought of the past."
