Chapter 469: Gifts
Emperor Yongchang's recent thunderous methods surprised Zhou Hexi very much, and she thought that he would hesitate for a while until the big thing turned into a small thing and the small thing turned into a small thing...... Who knows, this time, anyone who is involved with Princess Longyu will be punished, Rao is other party did not participate in Princess Longyu's later "Qingjun side" action, but because he was a guest of Princess Longyu's mansion, he was also demoted or dismissed.
Judging from the momentum, Emperor Yongchang probably disliked Princess Longyu thoroughly, so he didn't want to see everything related to her anymore.
Zhou Hexi is also one of the beneficiaries, and only recently has she felt that her ears are pure, and no one has any designs for her, all kinds of calculations, and even all kinds of murders.
Speaking carefully, her life is even more difficult than that of Emperor Yongchang.
However, this purity only lasted for half a month, and the first to be broken was Emperor Yongchang, on this day, he received a gift from Empress Xiliang, unlike before, the gift was only a red lacquered wooden box.
Holding it in his hand, Emperor Yongchang didn't open it immediately, he shook it gently, didn't hear any movement, and his curiosity was even stronger. Obviously, there are no huge pearls in it, let alone jade and agate.
"Go, call the prince."
"Yes."
Liu Fangchun ran to the imperial study as fast as he could, and grabbed Xiao Li, who was helping His Majesty deal with the folds, into the Showa Palace.
"This is Xiliang's gift to me, the prince come and guess, what's inside, let's talk about it first, it's neither gold nor silver, nor jewelry, I shook it, and there was no sound at all."
Xiao Li stared at the box for a while before saying, "Empress Xiliang, just give this gift?" ”
Emperor Yongchang was slightly stunned, and then he was happy, and said seriously: "What are you thinking?" People can't go back to Jinshan Yinshan to send it to you, and people have to eat and drink, right? ”
Liu Fangchun, who lowered his head, quietly pursed his lips, slandering in his heart, His Majesty didn't think like this when he first got the gift, and he was still teasing the prince, poof......
Xiao Li held the box and shook it, but there was really no sound inside, so he guessed: "Could it be a silver banknote?" ”
Emperor Yongchang: "......"
Could it be that he has always been mistaken, the prince has always been light and light?
"Ahem, such a small box, even if it contains the largest denomination of silver bills, it will kill 10,000 taels, Xiliang will not do such a stupid thing."
Of course, Xiao Li knew that it couldn't be a silver banknote inside, but he saw that his father wanted to share this moment with him too much, so he put on a serious appearance.
"Letters?" Xiao Li guessed another answer.
Emperor Yongchang's eyes lit up, he also thought like this, Queen Xiliang ascended the throne coldly and became the emperor, so it was reasonable to explain it to him, His Majesty the Heavenly Sage.
"Of course, there is another possibility, breaking the contract."
Emperor Yongchang's face tightened, "If that's the case, if that's the case...... Open it. ”
He wanted to speak and stopped, but he never said the phrase "send troops to fight", Xiao Li breathed a sigh of relief, slowly opened the box, and was stunned...... A neatly folded red silk cloth is embroidered with a golden phoenix soaring for nine days.
Sash?
But whatever it is, it can't be a broken covenant.
Xiao Li quietly breathed a sigh of relief, Emperor Yongchang had already come to his side, took the box away, and was also stunned when he saw the contents inside...... This is?
After hesitating for a few breaths, he took out the thing, and when all the edges and corners under the "iceberg" were exposed, Emperor Yongchang was instantly petrified...... It's a belly pocket!
Xiao Li lowered his head involuntarily, and the heat on his face kept being hot and couldn't be dissipated......
Looks like he shouldn't be here.
Emperor Yongchang, who reacted, even stuffed the thing into his sleeve with thunderous means, coughed twice and pretended to order Xiao Li and the others to retreat, Xiao Li and Liu Fangchun couldn't wait to walk away, got the order, and fled like a whirlwind.
Soon Emperor Yongchang was left alone in the hall, and the sound of his breathing could be heard all around, and Emperor Yongchang suppressed the heat in his heart again and again, and it took a long time to re-unfold the thing in his knees.
The golden phoenix is lifelike, soaring above the nine heavens with smart and elegant eyes, and the phoenix eyes are vivid, which is the finishing touch. Under the golden phoenix, there is a line of beautiful small words:
Xiliang Mansha will always follow His Majesty the Heavenly Sage.
"Cunning woman, ......" for a long time, he let out a low voice, sighed and shook his head, and finally laughed out loud.
"Don't worry, I never thought of sending troops to fight against you, where do I ......" The word "Shede" didn't spit out after all, he stared at the phoenix a few more times before slowly collecting it, and the thing was folded back into its original shape and put it back in the box.
"Liu Fangchun." He called softly.
"Your Majesty." Liu Fangchun pushed the door in, and his voice was so low that he could barely hear it.
Emperor Yongchang handed him the box, "Take it, put it together with my national treasure." ”
"Yes."
Liu Fangchun carefully held the box out of the Showa Palace, and Emperor Yongchang's thoughts had already drifted out of the clouds with the box.
In the spring of that year, she danced on the Linde Hall in a Western cool costume, dancing lightly and gracefully, like a Nine Heavens Xuannu descending to earth.
After the dance, my father ordered all the princes to come forward to greet Princess Xiliang and the county lords, he happened to stand opposite her, and the moment the veil was lifted, he even forgot to breathe.
That smile, either out of politeness or with a bit of flattery, in short, forever engraved in the depths of his memory......
Her intersection with him will always be fixed at that moment.
After that, the fate of these princes went through several twists and turns, and they were even more ...... the noble daughters who came to Zhou and kissed More than ten years have passed, but I didn't expect her to cross paths with him again, and it turned out to be like this......
Emperor Yongchang couldn't find the right words to describe it for a while.
"What a cunning woman." Collecting the memory, he sighed again.
Of course, he would not be stupid enough to believe the words in his belly pocket, the diplomatic relations between the two countries, the imperial power technique, how much is true, how much is false?
In order to paralyze his nerves, he took his personal belongings and transferred them to him, just to gain a few years of respite for Xiliang, for her painstaking sake, what if he pretended to believe it?
……
A few days later, the Yongchang Emperor overrode the public opinion and accepted the move of Queen Xiliang to ascend the throne and claim the throne, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were in an uproar.
For a few days, I don't know how the news was revealed, all the ministers were quietly discussing in private, it seemed that His Majesty had received a special gift from the Empress Xiliang before deciding to let the other party go, as for what the gift was, the ministers inquired in many ways but had no clue.
However, even if they don't know, they can understand a little bit by guessing alone. It is said that the first emperor had just pointed out Princess Mansha to him, and he couldn't sleep at night with excitement......
In fact, they know what the current situation of the Great Zhou is, and the successive coups and rebellions have already muddied the water in the capital, and the court coup is widely implicated.
Now is really not a good time to send troops to Xiliang.
