Chapter 226: The Regent
There are four scholars in the backing mountain village, the old boy Shenghua step-ancestor who has never been admitted to Xiucai in his life, and Hua Zechuan, who has high hopes for his family, and Wang Chunhua, who is silent but also optimistic about Hua Qingzhu, is the least dazzling compared to Zhou Yao of their family. Bayi Chinese Network =≠≠.=
Even Hua Qingyan rarely heard Mrs. Shen mention Zhou Yao, only knew that Li Zheng had a son studying in the town, as for the specific situation, there was no way to know.
Seeing it today, Hua Qingyan thought that this Zhou Yao was very interesting, not as sour and pretentious as those who read books, but it was straightforward and cute.
Looking at the appearance of Zhaoyao, Hua Qingyan thought that this was a teenager younger than her, and estimated that her age was about the same as Hua Biluo. Unexpectedly, Zhou Xiaoyan said that this Zhou Yao is as big as herself! Hua Qingyan sighed helplessly, Zhou Yao's baby face was too deceptive!
However, Zhou Yao was indeed too lively, Zhou Xiaoyan went to Hua Qingyan's house to play, and he actually followed step by step, embellishing behind the two like a little tail, and from time to time there were two witty words, which made the two laugh.
"Qingyan, Qingyan, is there really a lot of delicious food in your house? You know, every time my mom tells me about it, I'm so hungry that I want to skip school and come back and try it! ”
"My mother and aunt are just as bad. Every time I go to see you, I praise you as if there is nothing in heaven and on earth, and my heart has been itching to see you. I wanted to go to your place as soon as I came back for the New Year, but they actually stopped me. Isn't it natural for you to go to the New Year's meeting? It's a shame that I didn't know you until now! ”
"The most hateful thing is my brother, why does he have such a good relationship with Qingyan you, and he still wants to marry Qingyan's good friend! I'm really, so envious! ”
Zhou Yao was beating his chest over there, but Hua Qingyan was a little confused. His good friend can have a relationship with Zhou Rong, isn't it Hu Baizhi! Listening to Zhou Yao's tone, is it going to be engaged? Why didn't she hear the news? However, in retrospect, Hu Baizhi did rarely wander around him during this time, and blamed herself for being too busy during this time, so she didn't notice the situation of the Hu family.
"Oh, you're being talked about everywhere! Things haven't been decided yet! Zhou Xiaoyan stretched out her hand and knocked on Zhou Yao's head, and said to Hua Qingyan, "It's just that my brother and sister-in-law have this plan and want to discuss it with Uncle Hu's family, but the matter hasn't been decided yet." ”
"**Not far from ten! My brother likes the Hu girl! Zhou Yao hugged his head and shouted, obviously very dissatisfied with Zhou Xiaoyan beating him.
Hua Qingyan looked at Zhou Yao with a smile, and always felt that this person was like a child who had not grown up, and his worries were more stable than him. Hua Qingyan suddenly sighed with emotion, her carefree was not like a child, she was really precocious and calm. Sometimes she really wants to let Sanssouci liberate his nature, so that he can grow up innocent and carefree like his name, but it always backfires. Although the little guy can also play, but after that momentum, he will become the same little old man again.
Hua Qingyan sighed, and heard Zhou Xiaoyan teaching Zhou Yao again: "You can't be quiet, this is not the family, there are so many long-tongued women in the village, wouldn't it be bad to be heard by someone with a heart." Your brother doesn't matter, don't bother Bai Zhi! If the marriage between the two families fails, I think your brother will throw you into the mountains to feed the beasts! ”
While talking, he also beat Zhou Yao, making Zhou Yao beg for mercy while hugging Hua Qingyan's head.
"Alright, alright. This is the north of the village, and the villagers don't come here. Hua Qingyan stretched out her hand to stop the two, grabbed Zhou Xiaoyan's arm and said, "Besides, the north of the village is my territory, which one who is not long-eyed will dare to go out and talk nonsense on my side!" I'm going to make her walk around without eating! ”
"Ahh Qingyan, you are so domineering! Zhou Yao was completely captured by Hua Qingyan's domineering, and looked at Hua Qingyan with a look of adoration while holding his head, that silly appearance was extremely cute, "Qingyan Qingyan, I will rely on you in this mountain village in the future, I will be your little brother in the future, you must protect me, and you can't let me be bullied by my brother and my aunt!" ”
Hua Qingyan: "......"
Zhou Xiaoyan: "......"
"Boy, Miss Qingyan doesn't accept useless little brothers!" Lu Xingrou came out of nowhere, grinning with her hands around her chest against the bridge railing, looking Zhou Yao up and down, and said in disgust, "What can you do for Miss with your small body?" You can't lift your hands and shoulders, by the way, are you literate? ”
"Of course it's literate!" Zhou Yao's eyes rolled, "I can be Mr. Qingyan's bookkeeper!" ”
"I'm very sorry, Mr. Bookkeeper's position already belongs to someone else!" Lu Xingrou regretted her stall hands.
"I, I, I ......" Zhou Yao opened his mouth but couldn't say a complete sentence, he racked his brains to think about what he could help Hua Qingyan do, although he often helped the family with farm work, and did not study like the people of the old Hua family, but because of studying indoors all the year round, his body was naturally weaker than that of ordinary peasant men. He originally thought that he was a scholar and could be shallower than ordinary people in all aspects. But when I think about it, I really can't do anything. Thinking of this, Zhou Yao lowered his head with a look of frustration.
Zhou Yao's appearance reminded Hua Qingyan of the big golden retriever she saw at the neighbor's house in her previous life, and when that guy was wronged, he hung his head, and even his ears drooped. She controlled the hand she wanted to give Zhou Yao Shun Mao, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, Sister Xingrou, don't tease him." Come in, Zhou Yao, don't you want to see my house. ”
Zhou Yao is a person who is good at self-regulation, Hua Qingyan's words just diverted his attention, and he was instantly attracted by the exquisite and atmospheric house in front of him. hurriedly said hello and ran in, and when she passed by Lu Xingrou, she also rolled her eyes at each other, looking quite stingy.
After worshipping the sky, Concubine Mi left the second prince in her bedroom on the grounds that she had not seen her son for a long time and missed her very much. Of course, some ministers objected on the grounds that the second prince was too old to stay in the harem, but he couldn't stand the fact that Concubine Mi was favored and moved out of Emperor Qiyuan's dictation. The ministers had no choice but to watch the second prince leave with the secret concubine.
Sacrificing to the sky is a big event, and even Emperor Qiyuan, who was seriously ill in bed, was carried to the altar with a dragon chariot by someone arranged by King Rui. As soon as Concubine Mi left, the ministers were babbling that it was inappropriate at this time, and the meaning of the words was to accuse Emperor Qiyuan of being dizzy. There are even people who instigate Emperor Qiyuan to let other princes handle the government affairs on his behalf before recovering the crown prince, as for which prince will govern on his behalf, the supporters of the three princes have different opinions, and each has countless reasons.
King Rui and the Queen Mother sat on the edge of the altar and watched coldly as those ministers fought red-faced, but their hearts were more and more disdainful. Yun Shumo glanced at Emperor Qiyuan, who was sitting on the dragon chariot and coughing violently, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more gloomy. Through the bright yellow veil on the dragon's chariot, the brothers looked at each other.
After a long time, Emperor Qiyuan finally stopped coughing, raised his hand to summon Chief Manager Cao to his side, and whispered a few words in his ear. Manager Cao subconsciously glanced at King Rui, then nodded and stood up straight.
Chief Manager Cao took out the holy decree that had been prepared from his sleeve and read it out loud: "Carried by heaven, the emperor summoned: Now that my body is getting weaker and weaker, I have no intention of managing the government anymore, and I can't solve the suffering of the people of the world, and I am very heartbroken!" But the country can not be without a king for a day, the dynasty can not be a day without a dynasty, after thinking twice, I will give way to the throne of the prince, and the enthronement ceremony will be held after the prince returns! At the same time, King Feng Rui is the regent, and the regent will act as the government during the period when the prince does not return! Chin this! ”
There was silence under the altar! It wasn't until they heard the voice of Yunshu Mo Xie Lord Longen that all the ministers came back to their senses, looked at each other and confirmed everything they had heard, and then they knelt on the ground and shouted long live.
With a coughing sound, Emperor Qiyuan, who had become the emperor, returned to the palace in a dragon chariot, and the ministers who knelt on the ground stood up slowly, but their expressions at the moment were not good-looking. Then the people who originally fought for the masters of each family are now looking at each other, looking at each other full of embarrassment.
No one thought that Emperor Qiyuan would suddenly give way to the prince who had disappeared, and no one thought that Emperor Qiyuan would actually make King Rui the regent! Originally, they had to plan well, taking advantage of the disappearance of the crown prince and the emperor's serious illness, they had to do something anyway, although they couldn't pull Emperor Qiyuan off the horse, but at least they had to consolidate and consolidate the position of their master, at least let their master be closer to that position!
But now, Emperor Qiyuan's sudden decree disrupted all their plans! They don't know what to do next!
Because compared to Emperor Qiyuan, who has reached the end of his rope, King Rui is the real lion! Although King Rui used to express disdain for the government, even to the point of disgust. But no one knows if this sleeping male lion is really awake at this moment.
For a while, all the ministers looked at King Rui, although there was still no expression on that handsome face, but everyone shuddered in unison, and King Rui's eyes were as calm as ice!
"Congratulations to the prince!" At this time, a minister walked up to King Rui and arched his hand towards him, his tone and expression were unusually sincere, obviously this congratulations was from the heart.
Yun Shumo glanced at it, nodded and said, "Lord Le." Three names flashed in Yun Shumo's mind, namely the Lord Le in front of him, as well as Le Yao and Le Xi. And Le Xi is Hua Qingyan's sister-in-law.
"What are your plans for Lord Le?"
This sudden question made Master Le a little confused, he looked up at Yun Shumo, and the moment he looked at each other, he understood the deep meaning of the regent in front of him.
Lord Le gritted his teeth: "Naturally, I support the new emperor, and I will never be half-hearted!" ”
Yun Shumo patted him on the shoulder and passed by him, but Master Le vaguely heard a word.
"Hua Qingying is still alive."
