"Face, face, I don't want any broken face that you put on me!" The princess shook her hand and pushed the small incense burner on the coffee table to the ground with a fan.

Seeing that her daughter was stubborn and stubborn, the Queen Mother was angry and took a whip from the shelf that the princess used to practice martial arts when she was a child, and whipped it on her back.

Some of the kneeling inner eunuchs were newcomers, and they had never seen the eldest princess punished like this by the queen mother, and when they listened to the whipping without mercy, and no one dared to stop them, there was a whimper.

A little Gong'e poked the sobbing little yellow door next to her with her elbow, and said in a low voice: "Don't cry, the Queen Mother will hear it in a while, but you have good fruit to eat!" It's good for the eldest princess today, but in the past, the queen mother was even more ruthless to the saint, but she took the stick that was only used to beat the court staff, and beat fifty boards in a row! ”

What kind of person is the Queen Mother? A weak woman, born in a famous family, has gone through four dynasties and storms, and has seen all the insidious and vicious tricks, so every time she educates her children, she starts hard, and even Emperor Taizong will help her children intercede distressedly.

It is precisely because of her that Xiao Yizhi, the mediocre and stubborn King of Chu, can break free from the endless party strife and killing, and become the Ninth Five-Year Supreme.

The little inner supervisor bit his lip and blushed before he stopped crying.

"The queen mother can rest, worry about everything in the harem, don't get tired!"

Xiao Yizhi wandered to the Streamer Hall of Weiyang Palace with his hands behind his back, and couldn't help rubbing his ears for the sharp quarrel.

The Queen Mother was really tired from the beating, shook the whip, and sat back on the couch.

"I had barely arrived at the gate of the palace when I heard movement inside! Yu'er, are you not well-behaved again, contradicting the queen mother? He leaned over to help the eldest princess, who was half-kneeling on the ground, and gently rubbed her back, "Does it hurt?" ”

Xiao Ruyu held back tears and shook her head. She has long been accustomed to this kind of beating, the pain is painful, a trivial matter, even if she is beaten to the flesh, she must not compromise in front of her mother at this moment.

It's difficult for her queen sister-in-law, who is so humble and obedient, and manages the harem very peacefully, and is often punished by her mother for standing in the rules. My sister-in-law has also bothered in every way for her marriage, but she can't find a better child of the family.

She really couldn't stand it, so she casually ordered it from the congratulatory gift sent to Lingbo Palace, asked Yu Guifei for the way, and then asked if there were any unmarried adult children in his family, so it was quickly settled.

"Queen Mother, Yu'er really doesn't like the husband we chose for her, so let's take it slowly, it's not too late to choose next year. How can my royal daughter not be able to marry, because those ordinary people are not worthy of it! ”

"The emperor don't talk to me about these nonsense, I don't know the delaying tactics of you and her envoys. But at the moment, what you should think about most is the political affairs of the previous dynasty, so it can't be delayed! I've heard about the incident in Longxi, what are your plans? ”

Xiao Yizhi asked the people on the ground to get up and retreat, and solemnly announced: "I want to hand over this matter to Yu Ge Lao." ”

"Bastard lamb! You don't have a decision yourself? When the Queen Mother heard that her son regarded guarding Jiangshan Sheji as a child's play, she casually let people lead her nose, and the anger in her heart that she had finally suppressed jumped three feet high.

Xiao Yizhi didn't care, "Mother-in-law, mother-in-law, miscellaneous and crumbish, I don't bother to pay attention to them, where is my precious jade fun!" When I pick up a piece of jade the size of an inkstone and a crystal the size of a door, I will give them to Yu'er as a dowry! How decent! I think who would dare to look down on our eldest princess at that time! ”

The eldest princess was so amused by him that she burst into laughter, and her back didn't seem to hurt so much. My brother has always loved her like a protector, and every time she was beaten and scolded by her mother, my brother always showed up in time to save her.

The Queen Mother looked at the two brothers and sisters in harmony, and was speechless and choked with anger. The son is so old, and he has a son of his own, no matter how perverse he is, the stick will no longer be able to hit him on the back; Now that I am still here to protect my sister, I am really angry and have no way to complain, and I have nowhere to complain!

Once Jiang Yue rebelled against Zhou and became king in Longxi, the other nine jiedu envoys may not all be loyal to the imperial court, and may take the opportunity to rebel and defect one after another. If they are taught to enter the Central Plains, it will be insufficient to compete with more than a dozen elites in the Central Plains. Xiao Yizhi needed a helper who could stabilize the situation, so he thought of Huaiyong Hou.

The one who helped himself get everything, but ruined the one he loved......

-

Jinling's heavy nine festivals have always been held very grandly. But all the rich and noble families must set up crab feasts on the outskirts of the city or in the high pavilions; Poor people must buy a few jars of chrysanthemum wine, and make an appointment with three or five friends to climb high and look far away.

Legend has it that Liu Yu, Emperor Wu of the Southern Song Dynasty, made a rule when he ascended the throne in Jinling, and the ninth day of the ninth month of September was a day for horseback archery and army parades, and every soldier would receive dry food.

This legacy has been inherited to this day, and the dry food has become a chongyang cake, and the cake is inserted with a five-color paper thread as a pattern and a small flag with the word "order" embedded in it. Some people add jujube and chestnut to the cake to take the good sign of "early self-reliance and ascension".

Since the renovation of the large kitchen of the Huaiyong Marquis Mansion has been completed, the whole house has not been idle for a day, and everyone is preparing for the Double Ninth Festival and greeting relatives and friends.

No matter how the Liu family and the others in the Huaiyong Marquis Mansion objected, Lu Tongqi still recorded Lu Qi in Mrs. Liu's name before the Chongjiu Festival. The imperial court has high hopes for the second son of the Marquis of Huaiyong, and has now awarded the jade plate to canonize the prince, and he will inherit the title after a hundred years.

However, the saint specially asked the prince to participate in the spring examination of the coming year, and only after he could get fame can he enter the office.

The people of the clan were naturally a little embarrassed, but thinking that Lu Qi could not lose to his ancestors, he was only incomparable to his background, so he didn't dare to say anything gossip in front of Lu Tongyi.

In the afternoon, Hou Ye led a group of clansmen to pick dogwoods and drink chrysanthemum wine on the back mountain. Because he was still in filial piety, he just recited the blessing by the Hou Ye, and there was no singing, so he was less interested and angry, and they dispersed for most of the hour.

Lu Qi saw that Hou Ye was going back to the room to rest, went up to help, and said gently: "Hou Ye walks carefully!" ”

Lu Tongqi is also close to the age of sixtieth, but he is from a military background, strong and strong, and the matter of martial arts has never fallen behind over the years, and walking the mountain road should be like walking on the ground for him, this kid is afraid that he is worried about the wrong place.

He didn't let Lu Qi hold him, but took his hand. The rough palm prints of the years were like pine bark, scraping and rubbing the palms of the young people.

The old marquis sighed and said, "Yun'er, I'm afraid you mean something else by this!" Don't forget how you've come to this 21 years, and don't forget who paved the way for you to get to where you are now......"
