Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Court
After Anzi returned to the palace, he picked up a few boxes of snacks and gave them to Qi Zhaiyuan, who took them back to his palace. It happened that Concubine Wen brought someone over to see her son.
Since her son lived in the Alder Pavilion, Concubine Wen really came eight times a day, and she hadn't paid much attention to it before, and this time she was separated to the point that she seemed to want to complete the missing maternal love. The loss of alder pavilion is a big place, Anzi lives in the main hall, and his younger brother lives in the side hall, so he doesn't need to meet Concubine Wen again.
I don't know if the shadow was too strong when I was a child, Qi Zhaiyuan would automatically turn into a wooden person when he saw Concubine Wen. Concubine Wen Guifei sat at the table and talked for a long time, her son was still playing with Kong Mingsuo there unconsciously, and he came up with a moment of anger, walked over and poked his head, "I'll talk to you, did you hear me." ”
Qi Zhaiyuan looked at her with round eyes, and Concubine Wen was even more angry, this child had nothing to do with her, she didn't get close to her at all, and she always looked at her directly. Like a little fool. She had to admit that there was really some difference between her son and Anzi. In the year that Anzi came back, many wall grasses began to fall towards him, after all, compared to the unknown second prince, the eldest prince who often appeared looked graceful and extremely talented.
"What do you watch me do, I ask you ......"
"What are you arguing with the child again?" Mama Wen didn't expect to go and get something by herself, and Concubine Wen had a quarrel with the second prince again. "You're his mother, why can't you talk to the child well?" Mama Wen is simply tired, the child has lost the opportunity to leave her side, and now she is not talking about actively saving the child's heart, she is still desperately pulling her hind legs, she really looked away at the beginning, thinking that she was a smart child, but she didn't expect to stay in the palace for a long time, and she became more and more like an ordinary deep resentful woman, and she couldn't scheming at all.
"Mama, why do you just say that I'm not this child......" Concubine Wen is still aggrieved, she has been coaxing her since she was a child, and now she wants to coax a child, where does she know what to do.
"The child is still young, what should you do if you scare him." Squatted down again and asked Qi Zhaiyuan, "I heard that the second prince went to play with the eldest prince today, where did you go to play, can you tell grandma?" ”
Mama Wen treated him very well when she was a child, although it was a little scary to be stern occasionally, but Qi Zhaiyuan treated her much better than Concubine Wen, at least she was willing to say a few words. "My brother took me to play."
"Where did you go?" Mama Wen seemed to be chatting.
"Outside." Qi Zhai has never been out of the palace, so naturally he doesn't know how to describe it.
Did you go outside the palace? I looked at the dim sum on his table again, and it didn't seem to be Kyori's style. "This snack ......"
"Brother, for me." Qi Zhaiyuan looked at the dim sum and then at Mama, he didn't have many dim sum, but he was not a stingy child, and gave Mama Wen a "For you." He looked at Concubine Wen again, took out another one, and carefully pushed it to her.
Concubine Wen didn't even look at it, she wouldn't touch these things of unknown origin. Qi Zhaiyuan took the dim sum back and put it in the box.
Mama Wen didn't want to make the gap between mother and son even bigger, so she changed the topic, "Did the second prince read the book today, and the emperor will come up and ask questions later, be careful that you can't answer." ”
Qi Zhaiyuan then remembered that he hadn't read a book today, so he took out the book and started reading. He is extremely conscientious and does one thing at a time. Now that I'm reading the book, Mama Wen naturally doesn't talk to him anymore. She found the people from the left and right palaces and came to the side, "Where did the second prince go in the afternoon?" ”
"The slaves don't know either."
"You didn't go out with you, how could you not know?"
"We only followed to a teahouse, and at that time, Grandpa Wei let us wait in the building, and the eldest prince took the second prince out alone."
"Stupid, don't you know how to follow?"
The slaves and maids wanted to follow, but later let Gonggong Wei stop them. You also know that this Father-in-law Wei was personally sent by the emperor to the eldest prince, and he was arrogant and tight on weekdays, and who dared to disobey him when he was serious. ”
Mama Wen narrowed her eyes: "Next time they go out again, you will send someone to inform me." ”
"Yes."
"Take good care of the second prince, don't be like a wood, mention the mother in front of the child, how can there be an overnight feud between mother and son."
"The slave is awake." It's just that the second prince doesn't listen very much.
The second prince's personality is indeed a little sad, he is not angry, and he is not as playful as other children. When he is upset, he is just silent, and he ignores you when you tell him, and he doesn't know whether he listens or doesn't.
Mama Wen was also worried in her heart, she knew that the dosage should not be so heavy, who knew that she was pregnant with this child that time, which made her feel that she was eating the consequences. It was so hard for this kid to get him to stand up. However, Hou Ye also said that it is much better to have an obedient puppet than a smart child, I hope this will be the case in the future.
On the second day, he entered the palace to report on his work, and the monarch and ministers had not seen him for several years. Qi Nanxing retreated left and right and began to chat with Gan Sui.
"Yesterday, Anzi brought back dim sum, saying that you brought it back from Yangzhou, I think it's good to eat, it's hard for you to have a heart."
"It's all prepared by Uchiko, she has always loved to eat, and she always likes to share food with others."
"I heard Gan Sui mention her, saying that she is a rare strange woman in the world, and the junior brother is so blessed."
"The emperor praised it falsely, but she is indeed a very good person." Gan Sui said with a smile on his face, but Qi Nanxing felt sour in his heart, he also wanted to show off the woman he liked in front of many people, but unfortunately the woman was gone.
"The emperor's body looks worse than before, although there are many political affairs, but the body is more important, you must take care of the dragon body."
"This may be due to the change of seasons recently, I always feel tired and panicked, and the imperial doctor has also seen it, but I don't see anything serious. It will be fine after a while. But you're going to start going to court tomorrow, so I'm afraid you'll be a little unaccustomed to it. ”
"It's going to be a little bit at first, but then it's good to get used to it."
The two talked about the two Huai salt taxes again, and it was about half a morning that Qi Nanxing let Gan Sui go out of the palace to go to the official department to receive official uniforms and go through various procedures.
When Gan Sui came out, he happened to meet the Marquis Wen who happened to be out of the palace. This Hou Ye was willing to see it from a distance, and he was full of spirit and majesty. Now it looks like his temples are gray, but his eyes seem to be shining at any time.
Since I met, there is no reason not to say hello, so Gan Sui stepped forward and said, "Xiaguan Gansui, meet Hou Ye." ”
Marquis Wen looked at this young man who killed his nephew and destroyed many of his good deeds, and he couldn't wait to eat his flesh and drink his blood, but his face was calm, and he could even pretend to be kind, "This is our champion of the three yuan and the first, and he is also the great hero of the two Huai salt taxes returned to the treasury today, so young, what a young talent, let me have to serve the old." ”
Before Gan Sui could speak, the people around Hou Ye Wen had already begun to pat on the back: "Where can Hou Ye be old, he is in the prime of life." ”
Gan Sui did not answer the stubble.
Marquis Wen asked: "I heard that the emperor wants you to be the prince's concubine, this is a heavy errand, related to the future of my Liang country, and you must not be careless." ”
"Xia Guan understands that he must be a good student."
"Well, that's like a reader. Lord Gan has not been to the cold house since he came back from Yangzhou, if you don't dislike having time to go over and sit, the old man likes to discuss state affairs with young people like you. ”
"The lower officials must be disturbed if they are empty."
"It's not too early to go, you still have to go to the ministry, hurry up."
"Congratulations to Master Hou."
Those who are destined to be enemies, no matter how kind they are on the surface, cannot truly become friends.
Gansui's new official uniform is maroon, like the clothes worn by an old man in his forties and fifties. But also, the old Taifu was not all old pedants in their fifties. Gan Sui's skin is white, and wearing this red makes his lips red and his teeth white. Banxia laughed at him: "Where did this little fresh meat come from, let my sister kiss it quickly." ”
Gan Sui accompanied her to act: "Sister, this is not good, people are still young." ”
"It's small, you have to learn more, come on, come on, come and take a sip." As he spoke, he leaned in and kissed him the cheek. Then he smiled happily, "Wow, it's so tender!" ”
Gan Sui was completely possessed by the drama spirit, and while wanting to refuse and welcome, he was tempted: "Sister, is it enough to just kiss the cheek...... It's more flavorful somewhere else! ”
"Something else...... Not! "Stinky rascals!
On the first day that Mrs. Gan put on the official robe, she experienced the temptation of a uniform, and she felt that it tasted good, and this exercise could be carried out with her wife.
On the second day, when Banxia rubbed his waist and scolded someone, someone was already standing in the center of power in the Liang State in a straight official uniform.
The military generals of Wenchen were divided on both sides, and the emperor sat at the top. The beads hanging from the crown covered his face, and it became more and more difficult to distinguish the depths.
Wen Chen and the others stood behind Marquis Wen, and the generals stood behind Lin Tianyu, as if they were two opposing camps. There is a huge chasm in between. The court is very lively, Gan Sui was transferred, but the new Yangzhou prefect has not yet been finalized, all camps have recommendations, verbal battles, you come and go, the whole hall is like a market.
As a newcomer to the workplace, Gan Sui perfectly showed the humility of a newcomer, and there was no other word from beginning to end at a court meeting except for the mountain shouting long live.
Marquis Wen pushed two people, but they were both refuted by the emperor. The fear in his heart deepened. Because the reason for the rebuttal of those two people is that they are both moral, and these are private matters, but the emperor has a clear grasp of them. This made him have to weigh whether the emperor was going to cut him down the next moment, leaving no room for it, but he showed his power again. The more Marquis Wen thought about it, the more panicked he became, and immediately began to prepare, he obviously felt that Huang Shang and him had reached the point of life and death, if he didn't take the lead in advance, or he was killed by the emperor before the secret medicine took effect, then it would really be capsized in the gutter.
Now he doesn't have many chess pieces in his hand, but he has a lot of money, and he can always find something that doesn't die for money. Marquis Wen stood on top of the court, hanging his head, and a gloomy smile appeared between the mountain shouts.
