Return to the Capital (IV) (Part I)

"You're in a good mood today." Zi Yan put a cup of plum blossom tea in front of Fu Xiang, not to ask a question, but to say affirmatively: "Could it be that something important happened that solved some of your worries for many years?" ”

Fu Xiang held her hand: "You still know me best." He rubbed it carefully, with a faint smile on his face: "It's not a worry, it should be said that there may be a chance for me to practice some ideas and do something serious." ”

"Huh?! If others hear this, they will laugh to death, isn't Xiangye doing the right thing every day. ”

"It's really not for so many years, or it's very little, and most of the time I've been busy with intrigues in the court."

Zi Yan nodded, knowing his helplessness, she pulled out her hand and straightened his clothes: "Although it is intriguing, it is also a good thing, at least you can keep your position if you win the fight, and don't let those villains who seek personal gain occupy an important position in the court." ”

"That said, I didn't do my best."

"How else are you going to do your best?"

"Maybe you'll find out in the near future. It's just that we still have to wait for the moment. ”

"Who did you meet today?"

"Forget it, people with a lot of ideas, maybe we can really do something for the people together."

Zi Yan nodded: "The matter of loyalty to the monarch is for the king's worries." ”

Fu Xiang smiled and didn't say much, after all, their ideas were still a bit vulgar.

The crown prince came out of the east palace, took a letter in his hand, got into the carriage, and hurriedly ordered to enter the palace to ask to see the emperor. The palace gate is about to be locked, and it seems that the emperor must be seen tonight.

The emperor in the palace has already put aside government affairs, entered his daily leisure time, went to the Wenhua Hall early to pass on dinner, passed the music and dancing girls of the palace music workshop, and enjoyed his favorite snacks while watching singing and dancing. Because of his poor health recently, the uncle of the Chen family urged the Tai Hospital to make some medicinal food into snacks according to his taste, and he could barely eat it. At least it's better than medicine. He never likes to eat dinners, but likes sweet and sour snacks, eating snacks slowly, while holding the new beauty, looking at the dancing girl in the palace wearing a semi-sheer gauze skirt, completely putting aside the troubles of government affairs, at this moment he is just an ordinary man who is drunk and dreaming of death.

This may be the biggest disagreement between him and his mother and uncle of the Chen family. The Chen family has been a doctor for generations, paying attention to self-cultivation, and because of the practice of internal strength, they are more rational in many things. For his pursuit of sound and sex, the queen mother has been restricted since she was a child. My uncle also nagged a lot. The more they talked, the more he insisted on doing it. Without this indulgence, what is the point of life? Even the emperor fights with those ministers all day long, and he is verbose about those poor things, without any interest. Only the convenience of enjoyment and indulgence given to him by this great position is interesting to him. It's been more than ten years, and the queen mother may say that she is tired, and now she no longer talks to him about this matter.

The more she didn't mention it, the more he felt the need to enjoy it more and provoke the attention of the queen mother.

For example, recently, although his health is not very good, his natural preference has not been restrained because of the exhaustion of oil, but he wants to have fun in time while he can support it. So today, I picked a group of new dancing girls, including the yellow beauty in my arms, as soon as I found her and saw her appearance clearly, I gave her the title of beauty. The day before yesterday, the queen mother finally couldn't hold back and came to talk to him about this matter again, although he was indifferent on the surface, but in his heart he was happy, and the queen mother, who controlled everything, was powerless about his behavior.

This was the scene when Yiyi came in. The singing and dancing in the hall were leveling, and his noble father sat on a high seat, holding a woman in his hand, laughing wantonly, and the scene was vivid and colorful, which strongly stimulated his senses. He had listened to the teachings given to him by the Queen Mother in this regard, but in his heart, he was also a man, and perhaps the greed in this area had always been passed down in the blood of the royal family, and he himself had it. It's just that because of the special situation now, he is very restrained.

Seeing Qingxiu's son, the emperor did not restrain himself, but called him in front of him: "Yi'er, this song and dance today is a new dancer and musician in the Western Regions, is it a little different from what you listen to in ordinary days?" ”

"It's not quite the same." Yi Yi replied casually, he had figured out the temper of this father over the years. Since he became an adult, his father has also intentionally or unintentionally led him to get involved with women, which is also one of the things that his father has to do with the queen mother. If he naturally accepts, the emperor will be happy, and the queen mother will be lost for a while. Over the years, he has been deftly juggling a balance in between.

"Sit down, anyway, our father and son are not outsiders." The emperor pointed to the empty spot on the other side of his side. Yiyi felt a little uneasy in his heart, although the emperor would usually let him watch songs and dances together, but he had never come to him and the woman so closely. The old man's hand on the woman is so dishonest now, what is he doing by letting him sit next to him? Could it be that the words of the father taught him to be happy?! Yiyi was dissatisfied in his heart, but he didn't bring it out on his face, but walked over without expression. At the moment when he was about to sit down, the woman who had been burying her head in the emperor's arms suddenly looked up at him, and Yiyi was stunned for a moment, why is it so similar?

Looking at Yiyi's expression in a daze, the old emperor felt very happy, he was not particularly satisfied with this prince, he had his own blood on his body and had a lustful nature, but he often pretended to be a serious pedant to please the queen mother. He's just going to play tricks on him.

"It looks a lot like the female official in the mother's harem before, right?! Hahaha, I think so, too. The old man said narrowly, "Last night I suddenly remembered the woman, so I sent for someone to look among the new arrivals, and found a person with a similar appearance." ”

Yiyi was very shocked in her heart, Ning'er was very young when she was there, even if Yixiang chased her, it was for the throne, could it be that her father was interested in her at that time? So why not stop Yixiang early? Why did you pry her for Yixiang?

"That woman, though she has a bad temper, looks good, and occasionally remembers, so find someone like one to moisten her hands." The old man looked at his stunned son and said sarcastically.

Yiyi quickly came back to his senses, lowered his head, and did not make any comments, but put the letter on the table, and said respectfully: "Erchen has come to disturb my father's rest at this moment, please forgive my father." Erchen really has important things to discuss. ”

"What's the matter?"

"It's about the prince of Nanyue."

"What can a prince who comes to marry be in a hurry."

"It doesn't matter if it's just an ordinary marriage prince, it's just that Ruan Qianye is related to the Jiangnan Jin family, and this person has always had a great appetite, he didn't just want to wait for the royal marriage, he also hit the abacus to the wine business of Jin Ji all over the Great Zhou. For this purpose, he kidnapped Jin Jiu, the treasurer of Jin Ji, at this moment in an attempt to force marriage. Jin Ji was the largest wine merchant in the Great Zhou, and if it was controlled by the Prince of Nanyue, Ruan Qianye would have the ability to easily place a study in the territory of the Great Zhou in the future, and so on. ”

"It's really annoying that the prince of a small country has so much thought. How are you going to deal with it? ”

"Erchen has asked Xinjie to send someone to follow and answer. Now I want to ask my father to tell the emperor, whether it is to simply save people, or to use some means to teach him a lesson. ”

The emperor waved his hand and said impatiently: "The prince of a small feudal country, you just have an idea, what is this trivial matter to ask?!" ”

"Although South Vietnam is a small country, it is also a country, and the ministers dare not cross it."

"You are the prince of the prison country, he is a vassal of the state, and it is within his duty to deal with them, so how can he say that he has transgressed."

"Erchen knows." Isn't this afraid that you will be suspicious to come to the record? Otherwise, who wants to make this trip, but they don't dare to say it clearly. He glanced at the woman again, and bowed his head: "In this case, the son will not disturb his father, so he will retire." ”

"Slow," the emperor looked at him narrowly: "You haven't replied to me yet, is this yellow beauty in my new seal today very similar to the woman sent by the Queen Mother to be a companion in the past?" ”

"It's very similar." Yiyi's heart turned a thousand times, but he simply replied dullly.

"Yi'er was also moved back then, that is really a stunner, and it is not a man who is not tempted to get along day and night."

Yiyi lowered his head and didn't speak, this kind of thing is too wrong to say.

"If this weren't for the palace, you would be considered childhood sweethearts." The emperor looked at this cautious son, who was sanctimonious on the surface, and he didn't believe that the man with his blood would be indifferent in this regard. This is the great heir that the queen mother likes, and he doesn't like it that much, but he really can't find another better candidate. Since he can't change it, it's hard for him, and it's nice to let him be depressed.

"Although Miss Zhou is a companion, she is very knowledgeable, and her sons respect her as a teacher in their hearts, and they dare not have poisonous thoughts."

"Respect her as a teacher?" The emperor didn't believe it, if he just respected her knowledge, why couldn't he let go of it for so many years, rushed to save her, and then looked around, thinking that he, the emperor, was stupid and didn't know his movements? ! Since he felt respect, this matter may be deeper than he imagined. "Even if it's so better, I've named Fang'er a beauty, and I'm also your elder, so respect it." As he spoke, he tore off half of the yellow beauty's dress.

The sound of the clothes breaking seemed to bring a tear in Yiyi's heart, and it was the first time in so many years that he knew that his father had such thoughts about her. This is also humiliating him when playing with this yellow beauty. Yiyi didn't speak, his hand shook in his sleeve, and there was no change in his face.

"In fact, it is common for men to be lustful, people have seven emotions and six desires to be human, Yi'er doesn't have to mind, you are my own bloodline, if you have any ideas, you can say it directly, even if you like this beauty in my arms, you can also say it clearly. I understand, not to mention that the female official Zhou was alive and fragrant back then, just looking at the yellow beauty is enough to make people tempting. If you are really moved, I can give her to you. ”

"The son thanked his father for his understanding, but the son did not have this intention, and hoped that his father would believe in his son."
