126. Differential treatment (1st update)
Have you ever seen a tiger grow old?
Meng Qingyun has seen that one year in his previous life, he went to play in the African savannah and met an elderly tiger.
It walks slowly through the weeds, its fur tarnished, and its muscles are still graceful when it moves. It may not be as strong as its younger counterparts, but it still makes you shudder when it turns its head and casts its gaze on your neck.
Even if you don't show your claws, you'll be intimidated by the bloody momentum it has accumulated over the years.
The tiger is old and majestic.
At this time, the official family in front of Meng Qingyun was such an old tiger.
I heard that the official family was good at martial arts when he was young, and he was personally recruited several times, but now he is sixty years old, but he is not as pot-bellied as many elderly officials. He has a tall posture, strong shoulders and back, neat sideburns, mixed with many silver threads, and his eyes are wise and bright.
She didn't dare to look more, and lowered her eyelids.
Sitting next to the official family are two graceful and luxurious concubines, the tall and goose-faced one is Yao Guifei, the only heir of the royal family, Princess Shouyang, who is born of Yao Guifei; Another melon seed face and bookish is Concubine Min Shufei.
These two are the heads of the concubines in the harem, Yao Guifei has a daughter, and Concubine Min Shu is favored, and they are equally divided.
Yao Guifei looked at Meng Qingyun and smiled at the official: "This child is good-looking, and he is a rare beauty. ”
The official smiled and said to Meng Qingyun: "I heard that it was you who gave Shu'er the idea to teach him to speak." ”
Meng Qingyun had already received Jiang Fang's suggestion, and knew that the official family was highly praised for this matter, so he calmly replied: "Yes, the courtiers also had occasional inspiration and gave Shu'er a suggestion." Shu'er is talking now, isn't it good? ”
Yao Guifei and Min Shufei both looked at her in surprise.
This girl is quite bold, the first time she met her, she dared to ask the official.
The official family was also a little surprised, and a little fresh, and turned to the internal official and said, "What about Shu'er?" ”
The official replied: "It is estimated that he is with His Royal Highness the King of Qi, and the slave and maid asked someone to look for it." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, another internal official came over to report: "Your Majesty, the King of Qi is here." ”
"Call him in."
"Yes."
So, I saw Jiang Fang with Jiang Shu, walking in from outside, first meeting the official family, and after getting up, he winked at Meng Qingyun.
Meng Qingyun pursed his lips and smiled.
Shu'er walked over directly and took Meng Qingyun's hand: "Sister, we meet again." ”
Meng Qingyun said happily: "Ah! You're talking better and better. ”
Shu'er smiled: "It's all, sister's, it's a good way." ”
Although he still spoke a few words now, the pause was very short, and he listened carelessly, and he didn't even feel anything unusual.
Meng Qingyun was really happy for him.
It's a pity that such a beautiful little boy doesn't like to talk to people because he stutters. It's so good now, the kid's smile is brighter than ever.
I only heard the official family say above: "Shu'er now speaks almost no different from ordinary people, Meng Yuanniang, you are considered meritorious." ”
Meng Qingyun was not polite at all, and smiled sweetly: "Thank you for the compliment." ”
The official family was a little amused, and said to Meng Jin: "Your daughter, you are straightforward and generous. ”
Meng Jin said with a smile: "Thank you for the compliment." ”
Well, it's really father and daughter, and they're not polite.
The official family was a little unaccustomed to Mengjin's little proud appearance, and then said: "It's a pity that you are the same as me, you are old, and you don't have a son." ”
Meng Jin's face suddenly darkened.
Big brother, we're not the same, okay, how old are you, how old am I, and I'm the same disease?
It's a pity that the official family can't hear the words in his stomach, and finding someone as miserable as himself can always reduce the sadness in his heart.
The officials who had been waiting quietly at the bottom were more sad in their hearts.
Even if the official family has no heirs, he still refuses to choose a child of the clan to succeed, and he has dragged it on for many years, is it possible to think that he can still give birth?
But when it comes to this topic, the most embarrassing thing is the harem concubines.
Yao Guifei and Min Shufei couldn't listen to these words.
Yao Guifei beckoned to Shu'er: "Shu'er, come here." ”
Jiang Shu let go of Meng Qingyun's hand, walked up to Yao Guifei, threw himself on her knees, and said coquettishly: "Guifei Niangniang, can you watch the boat race today?" ”
The official family came to the water hall to see the bidding tin, that is, to watch the royal boat race to win the bid, and it was also one of the fixed performance items of Jinmingchi during the Qingming Festival.
Yao Guifei took a delicate pastry from the plate on the coffee table at hand and gave it to Shu'er, and said with a smile: "Yes, the annual boat race is lively, you are here with me, don't go outside, now there are many people in Jinmingchi, don't let those rude people collide." ”
Shu'er nodded obediently while eating pastries.
The official family has been lovingly watching the interaction between them.
Concubine Min Shufei on the side bit her lip lightly, lifted a bunch of grapes from the plate, and said to Shu'er: "Shu'er, come and taste this grape, this season is very rare." ”
Shu'er smiled and nodded.
Yao Guifei grabbed him and said, "Now is not the time for grapes to ripen, don't just try to be addicted, what if you eat a bad stomach." ”
Concubine Min Shu was not happy: "These are all carefully selected and offered, how can you eat bad stomach." Besides, I've already tasted it, it's sweet. ”
She picked a grape, peeled it herself with her carefully trimmed nails, and said to Shu'er, "Come, taste one." ”
Yao Guifei simply hugged Shu'er: "I just ate the pastry, don't be greedy, you shouldn't be able to eat when you turn back." ”
Concubine Min Shu glared at her angrily.
The two concubines were jealous, and the officials below didn't look at it, either looking down at the uppers or looking up at the roof.
Ahem!
The official cleared his throat and said, "Okay, okay." Shu'er, come here. ”
Shu'er immediately jumped over like a rabbit and stuck beside the official.
"Your Majesty, when will the boat race begin?"
The official smiled: "It's almost there." ”
He said to the officer, "Go and tell them, hurry up and get started." ”
"Yes."
The internal officials hurriedly went out to deliver the decree.
The official's seat was wide, he moved a little to the side, and said to Shu'er: "Come, sit here, and watch with me." ”
The officials of the Ministry of Etiquette below were busy admonishing: "Your Majesty, this is not appropriate. ”
The official family was unhappy: "What's wrong." ”
Ministry of Rites official: "Your Majesty's throne, you can't sit unless you are the emperor." Jiang Shu has no lord's clan, this is an act of trespassing, and it must not be. ”
Shu'er took a step back and said to the official: "I won't sit anymore." ”
The official glared at the official of the Ministry of Rites: "Eventful." ”
Then he said to Shu'er: "Then you will stand by my side." ”
This doesn't matter, the officials of the Ministry of Rites accepted it when they saw it and returned to the ranks.
Meng Qingyun lowered his voice and whispered to Jiang Fang: "The official family, I love your brother very much." ”
Jiang Fang squirmed: "It's always been like this." ”
As a result, such a small action did not escape the eyes of the official, and he pointed at Jiang Fang: "You come here." ”
Jiang Fang took two steps forward and bowed down to listen to the training.
The official family was not as amiable to him as they were to Shu'er, and said unceremoniously: "The last time I saw you, it was the Lantern Festival, why didn't you come to the palace to say hello?" Are you afraid that I will urge you to find a wife? ”
Burst!
If it weren't for the cultivation of the two lives, Meng Qingyun almost spewed out.
Is this emperor so down-to-earth when he speaks?
