Sure enough, it is better for two people to discuss something in one place than to think about it alone, Lan Yi immediately felt that Wei Changjue was on the point, and rewarded her husband with a greasy hug. She put her arms around her neck to discuss, "You're right, you can't rush this matter, let's have time now, let's think out the congratulatory gift to my father on the Halloween first, okay?" ”

The emperor's birthday is in the first month, after the Chinese New Year's Eve, or even a few months earlier, officials large and small will begin to think about what gifts to give, this year's Wanshou Festival, Lan Yi has not yet married, did not catch up, but has learned from his father about the grandeur of the scene, knowing that this is a good time to please the emperor, so at the beginning of next year, she has to help Wei Changjue win the first prize.

Wei Changjue also said: "Actually, my father thought I had done a good job in preparing for the snow disaster, but he just reprimanded me, and it involved private morality, so he didn't want to suddenly use me again, lest others say that our royal family does not value virtue." I have to give my father a step, tell him that I am wrong, and let him see my filial piety, so that he can continue to use me as a matter of course, isn't that right? ”

Lan Yi joked, "You said that you gave your father a step, this tone is like coaxing a child, it's really annoying, don't please it when the time comes, but it will annoy his old man." ”

Naturally, she was wholeheartedly for her husband, and the longevity festival was not to be underestimated, and the couple discussed for half a night, and finally gave the birthday gift.

Three days later, there was a wide range of heavy snow in the further north, Wei Changjue's suggestion was an excellent preparation for this disaster, because there was a thorough investigation of corruption in advance, the officials of this disaster relief did not dare to be too public, although the goose always had to pluck the feathers, but the money and food left for the victims were always much more than last year.

The battle between the front line and Beihu was becoming increasingly fierce, but a few days after the arrival of this heavy snowfall, the other side suddenly died down, and heard that there was also a snowstorm in their territory, and the people's morale was weakened, and the grain and grass could not keep up, so they retreated more than 30 miles.

After Lan Yi got the news, he breathed a sigh of relief and said to Ning Fu that in this way, at least both sides could have a good year.

For this series of things, the emperor Long Xin was very happy, and with a wave of his hand, he let the Internal Affairs Office prepare, saying that this time in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, it is even more necessary to have a good banquet for the ministers, even though the light of the real meritorious Wei Changjue is covered up in the matter of "private morality and loss", but everyone understands that this His Royal Highness King Gong is just one less opportunity, and the emperor will use him again sooner or later.

Wei Changyuan couldn't help but sneer when he returned to the Qi Palace, the steady and well-behaved pretending to be in front of the emperor dissipated completely in front of his own people.

"Changheng, did you hear what your father said today? This is also the third child is busy outside, if he is there, maybe he can get some better errand. ”

Wei Changheng knew that he was angry, and his tone slowed down a lot unconsciously, for fear that if the word was wrong, he would burn himself, "Second Emperor Brother doesn't need to be in a hurry, in fact, in this matter, it's useless to be anxious, Wei Changjue really took the lead this time, we can frame him and suppress him in other things, but if a person has a body of ability, and his identity is not extremely humble, there can always be a time to shine, such a light, we want to cover it, we can only cover it." ”

Having said the sentence so tactfully, Wei Changyuan still didn't like to hear it, and frowned: "Then you mean to say that we just watched him exert all his strength in front of his father and ascend to that position step by step, and don't have to do anything else?" Then you still come to my Qi Palace, go home and wait for the endless grounding. ”

Wei Changheng sighed secretly in his heart, sometimes he didn't know whether it was right or wrong to choose Wei Changyuan to assist. Maybe this second brother is not brainless, but under the pampering, he is no longer willing to take the initiative to think about anything.

"You can't say that." Wei Changheng tried hard to adjust his mentality, and said comfortingly, "You and the Fourth Emperor Brother both have a strength that is difficult for others to achieve, that is, the noble concubine Niangniang, the father is not confused, and knows that this country will eventually have to be handed over to capable people, and the second emperor brother can ask the concubine Niangniang to help, find out more about the father's intentions, and then inform them in advance." Before you get to the palace, you will take the initiative. At that time, my father will inevitably feel that you have the same heart as him, and even more feel that you have the same ability to manage the world as he does. The more and more such things are accumulated, are you still afraid that the position of the crown prince will fall into the hands of others? ”

Wei Changyuan nodded, these things, he made sense of it, "This method is not bad, in the past, I just thought that my mother was in the palace to recuperate, don't add trouble to her, now I think about it, it is because I am too filial to my mother that I let Wei Changjue turn over again and again." ”

Wei Changheng said again: "What's more, there are so many ministers around the second emperor brother, doing things for his father, handy, in fact, what is it to prevent snow disasters, if you come to do this, you will definitely be able to do it more neatly than the third emperor brother, the opportunity is very important, there are people in the harem, you have to use it, and when the second emperor brother is named the prince, that is the greatest filial piety to the concubine." ”

Wei Changyuan's face finally showed a little smile, and he said, "The fourth brother recommended you to me, and he finally did one thing right. The holes in your mother's house have been solved, right? ”

Wei Changheng hurriedly left his seat and bowed his hand, "Speaking of this, I haven't been able to thank the second emperor brother properly, if you didn't raise your hand to help, I wouldn't have had a good year, and my mother and concubine will be even more worried, I will definitely do my best in the future to give advice to the second emperor brother." ”

Wei Changyuan smiled, asked him to get up without being polite, and said: "Actually, there is no shortage of strategists in the Qi Palace, I think you understand, it's just that I value brotherhood, and I think that instead of letting others pick up cheap, it is better to promote my younger brother, and if you follow me, you will not let you suffer." ”

"That's natural, the second emperor brother is now in charge of the military aircraft, as long as the things at hand are done well, when the soldiers in the frontier can be fed and clothed, they will inevitably praise you, and when you wait for the Wanshou Festival, you will prepare a well-known birthday gift, and what is the matter with the third emperor brother?"

In fact, Wei Changheng is a little exaggerated, this military aircraft is important, and it is not Wei Changyuan's turn to take care of it, he is at best helping to dispatch it inside, but this kind of words that hold himself to the sky, who doesn't like to hear it, Wei Changyuan said with a smile: "He Shou Li, you prepare a few good things for me, I'll pick one, the court is busy outside, these small things in the family, you have to let the Seventh Emperor Brother help me worry more." ”

Wei Changheng knew that he just didn't have a good idea, so he directly threw this brain-wielding thing to himself. But as the so-called short-handed hand, he not only couldn't refuse, but also accepted it steadily, "Brother Erhuang, even if he is busy with other things, I will write a list of things that can be sent when the time comes, and someone will send them over, if you want to suppress others, most of them, you still need the help of the concubine." ”

Everyone knows that the emperor's birthday festival is more important than the Chinese New Year's Eve, and when the time comes, everyone will compete in the congratulatory gifts, Wei Changyuan is the same, and the other princes are the same, almost all of them are eager to find out what others give, so that they can send a more powerful one.

However, in Prince Gong's mansion, Lan Yi and Wei Changjue didn't listen to what was going on outside the window, except for the letter from Yun Guiwu's side, which was shocking, the two of them were either preparing gifts every day, or one holding a book to read.

In the past, when Lan Yi was studying, he liked to read those stories in history, especially the marching battles, and felt that it was very interesting for the two sides to fight back and forth, but with Wei Changjue in one place, he often read some difficult and difficult ancient books, those articles were not gorgeous between the lines, they were all big truths one after another, and Lan Yi felt that he couldn't see it.

But Wei Changjue is very patient, these days he is busy with the business at hand, and he is idle at home, so he even explained to Lan Yi word by word, Lan Yi went from disgusting and disgusting, to gradually being able to understand, and finally liked these books, and began to take the initiative to read them, and it took nearly a month.

On the night of going to the palace to attend the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, Ning Fu muttered, "Fortunately, there is a time when you have to go out, otherwise in this Gong Wang's mansion, you have to read two titles." ”

Lan Yi slapped her with a smile and bluffed her: "From Ming'er, you also study with me, aren't you a money fan?" This 'house of gold in the book', won't you go with me to pick up gold? ”

Frightened, Ning Fu didn't dare to say another word to Lan Yi, and ran to get the clothes and jewelry that Ruihua had in her hand.

Lan Yi couldn't help laughing, this time at the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, the identity is completely different from a year ago, and the mood is naturally very different, with Wei Changjue by his side, what is uneasy, what anxiety and unhappiness, will not appear again.

The red palace wall seems to extend endlessly, Lan Yi raised his eyes to look at the past, the sunset on the horizon is trying to disperse the last trace of residual warmth, today is a good day, there is no heavy snow in the capital, it is much cheaper when coming and going, and those glazed tiles, with a very beautiful color, seem to indicate that everything will be bright in the coming year.

Lan Yi thought, is there such a place, are there many people who want to come in, and the people inside, I'm afraid they will never want to go out, when a person walks to the seat of the Ninety-Five, how many white bones do you have to fold under your feet?

The more prosperous it is, the easier it is to cause some senseless feelings, and when it comes to Qihua Palace, Lan Yi, as a woman next to King Gong, naturally wants to talk to those women and concubines, and gradually forget all those thoughts.

After a while, the emperor and queen arrived, the concubines followed, Ying Guifei's dress today is far more expensive than the queen, it may be really weak, the queen's face is not even powdery, a room full of flowers is amazing, only the "king of flowers" is overshadowed, and even can't stay for a while, so she goes back to the palace to rest in advance.
