Zhao Xixing finally reacted, and glanced at an inner servant: "What news is the Pingchang Marquis Mansion." ”

The chamberlain complained bitterly. Donggong has asked this countless times, and he has answered it countless times.

Why do you still ask?

He was afraid that he didn't say anything right, broke the rules or something, otherwise Donggong's face would not look good all the time.

"Your Royal Highness, Miss Hua Er made a few side dishes with her own hands and went to visit the little marquis. But I didn't sit for a while, and then I came out. The chamberlain repeated and repeated.

Li Chen's eyes rolled, thinking of Zhao Xixing's "retention" before Hua Er left the palace, he couldn't help but step forward and lowered his voice.

"Your Highness, rest assured. The two only said a few words, and they were disturbed by Emperor Corning. You also know that Emperor Ji's thoughts about the little marquis will not let others interject the ......"

Zhao Xixing glanced at Li Chen.

If it was usual, at this glance, Li Chentie would have broken out in a cold sweat, but this time, he felt like a spring breeze.

Zhao Xixing spoke: "Did you mention the jade quality, the rhino horn pen of the Siamese tribute in the main hall looks good?" ”

Li Chen nodded: "Emperor Ji mentioned it." But Di Ji's temperament is probably used to raise loaches...... Ruyi is priceless, and it was rewarded to you by a saint, didn't you refuse the emperor on the spot? ”

"Not necessarily. Reward her. Zhao Xixing was unexpectedly decisive.

Li Chen repeatedly instructed the chamberlain to send the pen wash to the Emperor's Palace.

Zhao Xixing looked at the dazzling side dishes on the case again, and thoughtfully: "Those small dishes...... What is it? ”

Li Chen raised his eyebrows. There are some things, he kind of guessed it.

Sure enough, in a man's mind, if you can't pour rice balls in a teapot, you have to interpret it with a roundworm in your stomach.

"Steamed cheese with sugar, lotus leaf soup, water chestnut cake sprinkled with osmanthus." Li Chen replied and added, "The little marquis ate a few bites of sugar steamed cheese." ”

Zhao Xixing's slender fingertips rubbed the jade bowl, and said quietly: "Let the imperial dining room make twenty bowls of crisp cheese and send them to Shen Yu." You personally watched him finish eating...... No rest, one breath. ”

Li Chen was stunned.

Sugar steamed cheese is already greasy. Twenty bowls, you have to swallow them all at once, and your intestines will not come out.

Li Chen secretly complained about Shen Yu. But he also immediately sent an order to the imperial dining room, bowed down and said, "What else does Your Highness command?" ”

Zhao Xixing glanced at him: "You have been with the palace for several years, the thirteenth place in the imperial examination back then, and now the seventh rank of the official residence, you can be promoted." ”

Li Chen was overjoyed. knelt down with a plop and kowtowed repeatedly: "Minister, I am willing to smear His Highness's liver and brain!" ”

Zhao Xixing nodded: "Order the palaces: Li Chen, the main book of the seventh grade of Jin, is the sixth rank of Zhan Shicheng." ”

Li Chen knelt down again to thank Tian'en, learning and excelling, he was born as a jinshi, and he was naturally happy about his promotion.

"Get up. In the future, I hope that the king will worry about the people's livelihood, sympathize with agricultural affairs, and live up to the expectations of the temple. And also. Zhao Xixing paused, "Jia'er has been loyal for several years, and he has given a mansion." ”

Li Chen was stunned by joy.

Zhao Xixing coughed: "Just ...... Given in Anyuan Town...... This temple will give it to you at its own expense. There is no need to drain the treasury. ”

Li Chen blinked, what, it seems that there are some other intentions?

Anyuan Town, isn't it where Jixiangpu is located?

Also, the East Palace pays for it itself, and the meaning of "not seeing the public" is even heavier.

Li Chen looked at Zhao Xixing inquiringly, but the latter stood up with a bang, flicked his sleeves and left, his steps a little panicked.

"Congratulations to Your Highness!" The palace people fell to their knees.

When the colored back came to the door, he paused again, looked at the tip of the glazed tile eaves, and a smoke sparrow perched there, crying happily.

Twitter, quarrel.

"Your Highness is angry! The minister immediately ordered someone to rush to it, disturbing the cleanliness of the East Palace, the minister should die! Li Chen was familiar with Zhao Xixing's temperament, and he immediately wanted to send someone to go.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Xixing turned back, pinched a corner of pastry with his fingertips, and walked to the eaves again.

Woohoo. With a flick of her fingers, the pastry crumbs flew up, and the sparrows grabbed them lively.

The inside and outside of the palace are smacked.

What is Donggong doing?

A man who has always been calm and polite, and he is not messy, teasing birds for the first time?

Seem...... Feeling good?

Li Chen rubbed his eyes, the colored back had disappeared outside the door, and only the sparrows fluttering in the sky reminded him that he was not dazzled.

In the afternoon of the same day. Twenty bowls of sugar steamed cheese were sent to the Pingchang Marquis Mansion.

Li Chen personally stared at Shen Yu and ate it, the latter finished eating, and turned his head to vomit until his legs were weak.

After more than a month, I heard that when the little marquis saw sweets, it was like seeing the king of Hades, and he hid and shouted, "Get out!" ”

August. A new house has been built in Anyuan Town.

It is said that the newly promoted Zhan Shicheng Li settled here, next door to Jixiangpu, and you have to go through Jixiangpu to go to Li's house.

In September, the house was built. The villagers congratulated each other, and the town was lively for a while.

After a few autumn rains, the wild geese returned to the south, and the maple leaves of Yushan were red.

Early in the morning, Hua Er brought a large bag of things and said goodbye to Hua San.

"Sister, it's just raining, and the mountain road is muddy...... Or do you want to go? "Hua San is not surprised, at this time of year, Hua Er has to go to Yushan.

Ah Wei was still not at ease, and said with a knife: "Second girl, are you going to be thoughtful alone?" Otherwise, Ah Wei will accompany you? ”

The mother-in-law was busy stuffing Hua Er with dry food: "Don't stay long." Someone is found to be in trouble. Hey, it's not been a year since I persuaded you, and you're dead. ”

Hua Er covered a felt white hat on his head and smiled: "It's okay." Haven't you been like this for the past three years? This is my personal friend, so you don't have to bother. ”

"Sister, what are you talking about! You always carry everything alone, brother, I'm already weak! Hua San stood up and feigned anger, "No, this year, I will definitely accompany you!" ”

"What kind of hero are you doing today...... Before Hua Er finished speaking, he felt Hua San's gaze pressing over.

The cold essence light, at that moment, there was an irresistible coercion.

It's not that half-grown boy anymore.

Hua San looked at Hua Er deeply, and said word by word: "Sister, listen up, I'm weak." Every year in the future, I will accompany you. ”

Ah Wei and her mother-in-law were also helping. Hua Er's eyes flashed, and he had to agree.

So the two went out, stepping on the fallen leaves of the mountains in the early morning, to Yushan, and their clothes were covered with frost.

It's a deserted hill. There are no chrysanthemums, no red leaves, only pines and cypresses.

At a glance, it is towering and green, towering like a tomb.

This is Evergreen Ridge.

It is also the default "mass grave" in the palace.

Those who have committed serious crimes in the palace are not qualified to return their bones to their hometowns, and will only be hastily transported to Changqingling and buried on the spot.

It is said that three hundred years ago, a hunter stumbled upon this mountain, a natural mountain of pines and cypresses, and felt that the number was unusual, so he reported it to the top.

The people who commit major crimes in the palace are often high-ranking officials, and even if they are dead, they are self-conscious, and their bones cannot be in the same cave with the people.

Therefore, the dead will not be buried in the mass graves of the people, but will be buried in this pine and cypress field.

So it became an open secret in the palace. In all dynasties, hundreds of years down, there are 10,000 bone mounds under the pines and cypresses, not to mention 100,000 bodies.

Hanaji walked through Berlin very familiarly, and when he came to a certain place, he knelt down and lifted his hat.

Hua San took out a pot of wine from the package and quietly poured it on the ground.

A pot of wine, pay tribute to the deceased.
