In the blink of an eye, August 18 is the birthday of the boy, and the assessment of border officials entering Beijing has ended, and tomorrow is the day when the list will be released.

Su Juan once asked the housekeeper's grandmother about the birthday of the boy, and Su Juan came to the Yulin Hall to send some birthday gifts during the day.

Twilight was four, and the dark night shrouded the last ray of light in the sky, and night fell.

Qi Han agreed to go to the Yulin Hall tonight to celebrate the birthday of the boy, and specially ordered the palace craftsmen to create a gift for the boy.

In the Yulin Palace, the red sleeves had already ordered someone to prepare a banquet, and everything was packed up, waiting for the emperor to come to the banquet.

It was the first time for the boy to spend his birthday with his father, and when he saw that the sky was dark, and his father had not yet arrived, he ran out of the hall and waited outside the palace.

Seeing the kid running out, Red Sleeves was afraid that he would catch a cold from the wind, "Your Highness, the emperor will come in a while, and His Highness is still waiting in the palace." ”

The boy raised his eyes and looked at the red sleeves, he used to spend every birthday with his mother.

"Red sleeves, do you think my father won't come?"

Red Sleeves bowed down, took the boy's hand, and comforted: "Your Highness, the emperor is the Ninety-Five, and he will not fail to come." "

Looking at the boy who was full of expectations, the red-sleeved eyes also looked at the door, hoping that the emperor would not lose his words.

After a while, the cold Luan drove to the Yulin Palace, and the cold retreated from the palace, leaving only the close Li Gonggong, who did not order anyone to pass it on, and walked towards the courtyard alone.

After all, the boy was still a child, and when he saw his father praying for cold coming, he pounced directly with joy and hugged Qi Han's waist.

"Father, you're finally here. ”

Qi Han picked him up directly, the first time the kid was so sticky to him, after all, it was a father and son who were connected by blood.

pampered him into the main hall, put him on the seat, and ordered Gonggong Li to take out the courtesy of the birthday prepared for the boy.

It is a book with a dragon pattern made of gold and inlaid with various colored gemstones. "

The boy stretched out his hand to take the book made of gold, stretched out his hand and opened it, and the thick pages inside were blank.

The kid didn't understand a little, his eyes looked at the red sleeves unconsciously, the red sleeves knew what the emperor meant, the child's mind was blank, and what was on the paper painting was what?

Red Sleeves shook his head lightly, letting the kid understand the truth by himself, and Qi Han saw that Red Sleeves were not broken.

Pointing to the classic book in his hand, he said: "My father gave you this book just to tell you that this beautiful book is just like your identity, whether it is flashy or full of wealth, whether it is happy or sad, and you will write your own life." ”

The boy stretched out his hand and groped for the beautiful classics, knelt on the ground busily, and thanked: "You'er obeys the teachings of the emperor!"

Red Sleeves stepped aside, giving the father and son room to be alone.

After a long time, the red sleeves walked forward, bowed and said, "Your Majesty! ”

This is the first time that father and son have eaten at the same table, and when I saw that the boy was not as indifferent as before, he wanted to be a normal child more and more, and his eyes unconsciously glanced at the red sleeves.

If Shu'er is in the spirit of heaven, it will be gratifying to see the child like this.

After dinner, Red Sleeves ordered fireworks to be prepared, and fireworks were only set off on festive days in the palace, and for safety and in order not to be publicized, Red Sleeves only ordered people to prepare flashing fireworks.

Every palace person held fireworks in their hands, and the brilliant fireworks were lit in the night sky, and Qi Han stood aside, watching the boy chase and play with his red sleeves.

As if there is an illusion, the two of them are Shu'er's mother and son, and the change of the child's eyes is due to the contribution of this palace man called Red Sleeves.

The boy has been sticking to Qi Han to prevent him from leaving, today is his birthday, and he has been indebted to him for six years with a father's love, and Qi Han tries his best to satisfy him.

He was coaxed to sleep, and before he knew that it was too early for him to leave.

Red Sleeves can't see his brother in the deep palace, I don't know how my brother did in the exam? After all, there are only a few people who can stay in the capital.

I want to ask Qi Han to leave my brother in the capital, but the words are on my lips and I want to speak, and if I don't say it at this time, I will miss the great opportunity.

Thinking of this, the red sleeves lifted the hem of the skirt and knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, please stay!"

Qi Han stopped and stared at her, not knowing what she was doing when she suddenly stopped herself.

"Your Majesty, the slave maid has an elder brother who participated in the assessment of border officials, and the slave maid and her brother have been separated for three years, and they have been concerned in their hearts, hoping that the emperor will be merciful and can keep him in the capital, even if it is an official guarding the city gate, as long as he stays in the capital. ”

Qi Han frowned slightly, his brother should be the little boy who sold sugar gourds, Qi Han's body instantly condensed frost, and his voice was cold and cold.

"The employment system of the imperial court is all lawful, you are a little slave, relying on the favor of the little prince, vainly trying to interfere in the government affairs!"

Red Sleeves was frightened, "Your Majesty, everything is the slave's fault, the slave is confused for a while, the slave and the maid deserve death, my brother really doesn't know, I just ask Your Majesty not to be angry with him." ”

It seems that their brother and sister have a deep relationship, and it is normal for the younger sister to want to see her brother. The person who can teach his sister to repay his kindness should have a good character.

However, he has already reviewed the list of the many officials who have been assessed, and only three civil and military officials remain in the capital, and the list has been drafted and will only be issued tomorrow.

"What's your brother's name?" Qi Han's body was obviously weakened slightly, and his voice was still very cold.

Red Sleeves trembled in his heart, but he still said his brother's name, "Chu Hyunyi!"

Qi Han frowned lightly, and Chu Hyunyi's military attache was third in the top three in the assessment, "You don't have to plead, your brother is among the top three." ”

The red sleeves stood in place in a daze, looking at Qi Han who was leaving, and the look of joy in his eyes could not be concealed, his brother actually entered the top three and could finally stay in the capital.

"Brother, our brother and sister will never be separated again. ”

Qi Han returned to Yaohua Palace, Su Juan didn't sleep, just sat on the bed alone, looking at the glass lamp.

She knew that she went to the Yulin Hall tonight, and where she had a good time, Su Juan was not a jealous person, but she was inexplicably uncomfortable in her heart.

Qi Han sat directly beside her, "Ah Juan, do you have something on your mind?"

Su Wan's lips raised slightly, she couldn't let Qi Han know that she had sent Yue'er to the Yulin Palace.

Ah Juan heard from his brother that Tuoba Yuan's envoy had arrived in the territory of the Great Zhou, and he was inevitably worried. ”

Qi Han's broad arms hugged her in his arms, "Don't worry, everything has me." ”

Su Juan was not worried at all, this was the land of the Great Zhou, and he Tuoba Yuan had been arrogant again and again, and he did not dare to mess around. The two of them seemed to have a tacit understanding, and neither mentioned the matter of the Yulin Palace.

Qi Han secretly investigated Chu Hyunyi, this person has made many meritorious contributions in the frontier, and he was personally recommended by King Ying.

Tuoba Yuan was about to come to Xuanzhou City, Qi Han was not afraid of him in his heart, and saw that Su Juan was worried, after all, she had experienced a nightmare in the barbarians.

In order to make Su Juan feel at ease, he decided to increase the guard of the Yaohua Hall of the Queen's Bedroom, and Qi Han appointed Chu Xunyi as the lieutenant of the Sipin Governor, responsible for guarding the Yaohua Hall of the Queen's Bedroom.
