"Daddy! What are you doing here! Wen Zichen rushed over and was hugged by Wen Qiao, who was prepared.

Wen Qiao hooked his hand and rubbed the tip of his nose and said, "You have to leave for a while first, Daddy is afraid that he will miss you in the future if he doesn't come, so this is here." Why, isn't Zichen welcoming his father? ”

"Not really!" Wen Zichen retorted and explained: "It was my mother who said that Daddy was too busy, so I couldn't come, Zichen really didn't know that Daddy would come......"

"It's okay, it's been too much recently, but for Zichen, why do I have to come here, Zichen said, right?"

Wen Qiao said, rubbing Wen Zichen's face with his other hand.

Zhao Qingyan, who heard the voice, kept watching the interaction between the father and son, and she walked over with a gentle smile. "Haven't you been busy with business lately? How can I come when I have time? ”

Zhao Qingyan knew that Wen Qiao was indeed a little busy, and the dossiers and documents he saw when he entered his study before were all new, and Wen Qiao told her that it was because he had entered the new library. Wen Qiao originally said that he might not be able to come because he was busy recently, but he came here this afternoon to see them off, which still surprised Zhao Qingyan.

"It's fine, I'm just going away for a while." Wen Qiao said to Zhao Qingyan with a smile, and then talked to Wen Zichen again.

"But Daddy, Chen'er won't be able to see you for this time, Chen'er will be very boring......" Wen Zichen looked at Wen Qiao and said, Zhao Qingyan heard this sentence and also looked at Wen Qiao.

Wen Qiao glanced at Zhao Qingyan without a trace, and then said with a smile: "How come, you still have your mother, besides, when your father is busy with this period of time, I will go to you to play?" Daddy doesn't lie to kids. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Qingyan smiled slightly. In this way, if you don't deceive children, you can deceive adults, Wen Qiao is really good at talking.

Wen Zichen still seemed to be reluctant to Wen Qiao, and said, "Then Daddy, you must come to play with me when you are free!" By all means! ”

As he spoke, Wen Zichen hooked his little finger at Wen Qiao, and Wen Qiao also hooked his little finger and hooked it with him.

"Okay, Daddy will definitely go to Zichen to play when he has time."

Zhao Qingyan saw that the people had placed the salutes, and the pothos who had been ordered to buy some food also came back, so he went over to pick up Wen Zichen. "Okay, isn't it enough to talk to Daddy for so long? We'll have to get over sooner, and Daddy probably has a lot of things to do in the future, right? ”

Wen Qiao saw Zhao Qingyan's signal, nodded, and said, "Yes, Daddy still has a lot of things to do, so Zichen, you should be obedient, listen to your mother's words, do you know?" ”

Seeing Wen Qiao say this, Wen Zichen couldn't refuse, so he only nodded and said, "Daddy, Zichen will be obedient." Goodbye Daddy. ”

Wen Zichen said, raised his hand and waved, Wen Zichen also waved his hand in his same way.

Wen Qiao watched the mother and son leave, and at the same time stayed at the gate of the mansion for a while, saw the red ribbons hanging in the air on both sides of the street, and thought of some recent things.

The emperor's birthday is coming, and I am afraid that things above the court will become more and more troublesome. However, he estimated that he had to think more about the position of the Wen Mansion, and he didn't take himself into account when he only talked about the Xiao family before. But since the Wen family has a crown princess, there is naturally no need to make the position clear, and it can only be on the side of the prince.

It's just that, looking at the recent actions of the third prince, Wen Qiao feels that he should put more attention on dealing with this.

"Ah Qiao, you must be cautious about this emperor's birthday, and don't make any mistakes, do you know?"

"What my father said is exact, Wen Qiao naturally knows. In any case, we have to keep our position, as well as the Wen family. ”

Father Wen nodded and said, "The people around me are the most calm among you, and I believe you will not let me down." ”

On the day of the emperor's birthday, all the civil and military officials congratulated him, and even the people took a day off because of the emperor's birthday. Wen Qiao felt that it was quite lively outside, but as soon as he entered the palace, he didn't see the excitement, but who won the emperor's heart more than whom.

Seeing that the Wanshou Festival is about to begin, all the civil and military officials have taken their seats, and only the emperor is left.

After everyone arrived, the eunuch read out the birthday greeting, and the birthday party in the palace officially began.

When the emperor came, all the civil and military officials knelt down and bowed their heads, and shouted in unison: "Long life is boundless, the holy body is Kangtai, and the country is prosperous." ”

Everyone let out a long breath as the bright yellow hem of their clothes passed by the person closest to the dragon chair.

"Zhong Aiqing is flat."

After everyone was seated, the crown prince first offered the first gift.

It was a pot of lotus flowers in full bloom, and the prince said: "This is an extremely precious Tianshan Snow Lotus, which only blooms once in ten years. This snow lotus has survived for a long time, and has grown for 80 years now, and the son wishes that his father will live with it. ”

Looking at the snow-white lotus flower, you can see the preciousness of this flower from the edge of the petals. Tianshan Snow Lotus is generally used for medicine, but it is just an ordinary Snow Lotus, like this kind of snow lotus that blooms once every ten years is very difficult to find, Wen Qiao thought that this pot of flowers should have cost the prince a lot of effort.

Wen Qiao looked at the things offered by the prince and made an evaluation of it in his heart: decent, not bad, but it is enough for this birthday.

It is not good to reveal ambition too early, and if it arouses the emperor's dissatisfaction, the result will only be counterproductive. Wen Qiao understood what the prince was thinking, and also agreed with the prince's approach. Although such a golden mean seems unremarkable, it is also a way to gain the emperor's favor. After all, accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, and the emperor is suspicious by nature.

"Yes, the prince is really smart, and I am very happy to give such a pot of flowers. Although it is only a pot of snow lotus, I think the prince's heart is incomparable. ”

Wen Qiao understood, in other words, that even the emperor knew the preciousness of this pot of flowers.

The prince smiled a little deeper, said a few more words of congratulations, and then went down. After giving a pot of snow lotus like this, everyone present was discussing it in whispers. Although everyone thought it was good, there were people at the scene who were dissatisfied.

The third prince seemed to be unable to hear the words around him, stood up and said: "The imperial brother gave a pot of snow lotus, Yu Erchen humble opinion, although the snow lotus is precious, but the use is also medicine, and the viewing is really limited; Besides, the royal brother wishes Huang Ama the same life as this flower, which means that if this flower stops growing or even withers, then Huang Ama's life will also fail? ”

When the people present heard the three princes' rebellious words, they all looked at the emperor in silence. Wen Qiao laughed at the third prince's ignorance in his heart, but it was because his mother had recently been favored, so he had the courage to provoke the prince.

But in this palace, the favor will not be forever, the third prince was blinded by favor, and the words he said were really not a wise move.

Wen Qiao took a sip of the wine glass, and without looking at the emperor, he quietly waited to see how things would develop.
