Chapter 63: The Past

After Hua Sheng returned to the palace, he hurriedly went to the imperial study.

At this time, the emperor would only review the folds in the imperial study, and before Hua Sheng went to the Jianye Marquis Mansion, the emperor specially ordered to pay attention to Qin Ran's reaction.

Qi Yun was not critiquing, he was standing in front of the desk, one hand behind his back, the other hand holding a brush, and a snow-white rice paper in front of him.

Qi Yun put down and waved the brush in his hand, looking at the posture quite professional.

After a while, it seemed that something was written on the paper.

Hua Shenghou was at the bottom, and he didn't dare to say a word.

He knew that when the emperor practiced calligraphy, he hated being disturbed the most.

He knew that the Emperor had seen him come in, so he just had to wait for His Majesty to speak.

Time passed minute by minute, and Huasheng also waited quietly below.

It was quiet and could only hear the sound of the emperor practicing calligraphy.

Finally, Hua Sheng heard a "rattle" sound.

The emperor finished practicing his words and put down his pen.

He raised his eyes to look at Hua Sheng, who was standing quietly and obediently, and asked.

"I'm back."

"Slaves, see Your Majesty."

Huasheng respectfully bowed.

His Majesty is actually a person who attaches great importance to etiquette, but he really tolerates Qin Ran a lot, and it is because of this that Hua Sheng thinks that the emperor likes Qin Ran very much.

After all, this kind of honor and favor is not even the concubine Yun Niangniang, who favors the sixth palace.

"I gave her something, what was her reaction?"

The emperor picked up the pen again, and asked pretending to be careless as he didn't know what to write on the rice paper.

Hua Sheng thought of Qin Ran's reaction, which was a slightly cold feeling.

Hua Sheng was a little puzzled, but he had been in the palace for many years, and although he had seen a lot of the private affairs of these nobles, he still didn't understand it.

Hua Sheng thought for a moment, and still felt that he should say something good about Qin Ran.

After all, he had received General Qin's money. The general looked very happy, and said, Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."

"Is that true?"

"The slave will never dare to deceive Your Majesty."

Hua Sheng was frightened and quickly knelt down.

"Get up, I'll just ask casually, what are you doing with such a big reaction?"

"Yes, the minion knows it's wrong."

Hua Sheng got up and stood with a bow.

The emperor didn't care about these vignettes, but was a little complacent.

Since he was in power, because he was too young, he was constrained by those auxiliary ministers everywhere, and he really didn't have the casualness of being an emperor in this life.

The emperor's originally somewhat leisurely face suddenly became a little gloomy.

This group of old ministers is always pointing fingers at me!

This Jiangshan's surname is Qi, but it's not his surname!

Sooner or later, I will definitely uproot these old ministers one by one!

Qi Yun hooked his lips and sneered, fortunately, Shang Shuling, who did not have the foundation of the family, could still be used for himself.

Shang Shuling is an interesting person, and as his own sword, he is relatively handy.

"Your Majesty?"

Hua Sheng saw that the emperor's face was getting more and more gloomy, and he was slightly frightened, and he struggled for a long time before he asked with some fear.

When Qi Yun heard the voice of the eunuch beside him, he put away his face and became the most common gentle and jade-like appearance on weekdays.

"I know, you're doing a good job."

Qi Yun hooked his lips, "I still have to practice calligraphy, you go and pour a cup of tea." ”

"Yes, the minions are retired."

Hua Sheng said respectfully, before he left, his eyes glanced at it, and he saw the words on the desk.

If I am the Green Emperor in his year, I will report that the peach blossoms will bloom together.

Hua Sheng suddenly felt a chill hit his heart.

His Majesty has been in power for a long time, but he is still constrained by people everywhere, including the patriarchs of the big families who are unwilling to delegate power.

The Queen Mother and the former emperor have a deep affection, since the death of the first emperor, they are not in the palace all the year round, and went to Wutai Mountain to cultivate Buddha, so many years Your Majesty has no one to talk to.

Ay...

It's a bit pitiful.

Although Hua Sheng thought so in his heart, he didn't dare to show it on his face, he respectfully saluted and went out to pour tea for His Majesty.

......

After Qi Yun saw Hua Sheng go out, he slowly sat on the dragon chair and gently brushed the dragon head on the chair, golden.

Sunlight poured in through the window lattice, and the golden faucet was dazzling.

He thought of the woman in red, the woman in red who had been following him.

She really doesn't look like a boudoir woman, but her bright smile has the ease of a general's woman.

"Qin... Tender. ”

He slowly spat out the name.

He admits that he likes her.

However, he never liked her without selfishness.

If it weren't for the fact that she was the only daughter of the Marquis of Jianye, who held the military power, he would later know that Qin Ran would be the heir of the Qin family army in the future.

He will not give up his country because he likes it.

However, he was sensitive and noticed that Qin Ran had changed a little recently, and he had become a little alienated from him.

So, there is today's reward. Fortunately, she hasn't changed.

It seems that I am thinking too much.

Qi Yun smiled slightly.

Slowly, Qi Yun leaned back in his chair and looked into the distance of the imperial study.

There was floating dust in the air, and Qi Yun's gaze slowly became a little trance-like.

"Father..."

Qi Yun spit out these two words in a low voice.

Qi Yun's expression was a little complicated, with longing, unwillingness, discomfort and... Bitterness.

"Father, I will prove to you that I can sit firmly on this dragon chair."

When Qi Yun said this, he was actually a little vague.

If outsiders hear it, it will be a little strange.

His Majesty Qi Yun is the second son of the former emperor, and the eldest son of the former emperor died early. Therefore, after he was born, the emperor personally crowned the crown prince. Moreover, the heirs of the first emperor were thin, and several princes died before they could grow up.

Now there are only the sixth son and the third daughter of the former emperor.

The sixth son of the emperor, Qi Chu, was given the title of His Royal Highness the King of Chu by His Majesty today, and the fief obtained was one of the best fiefs in Daqi.

As far as the people of the world are concerned, that is, His Majesty cares for his younger brother today, and he will never be said to be treated harshly.

And the third daughter of the emperor is Princess Changhua, who just turned fifteen years old a few years ago, and married Mu Rongqing, the son of King Rong, who is surnamed Wang, is the princess of the world.

All of His Majesty's brothers and sisters have been given excellent gifts, and it is the most harmonious relationship between the royal families since the founding of the Great Qi Dynasty.

After all, when the first emperor ascended the throne, the battle for the heir was extremely dangerous, even if it is not an exaggeration to say that the first emperor stepped on the bones of his brother to ascend the throne.

Qi Yun closed his eyes, he picked up the brush that was placed on the pen wash, and continued to write on the rice paper.

However, he was distraught and wrote for a long time, with a messy font.

He was upset, so he crumpled the rice paper and threw it on the ground.

He threw the brush and brush heavily, and it just landed on the clean rice paper, blurring a large piece of ink.
