Chapter 186: The Strange Gift of Poetry, the Emperor's Weighing Technique
As she spoke, Concubine Tang held the teacup and looked at the prince expectantly.
On a good day like this, the prince will definitely let a concubine go to bed.
Moreover, high-ranking concubines are generally allowed to sleep.
Then, she and Concubine Ruan have the greatest chance, of course, they have to be petted.
Pei Xuanling: "Gu recently got some Wuyi rock tea, this tea is fresh and far-reaching, quite the taste of Lonely, after drinking this tea, Lone doesn't want to taste anything else." ”
"It turns out that His Royal Highness likes to drink Wuyi rock tea." Concubine Tang tried to say: "Then next time the concubine will also prepare some tea like this, and when His Royal Highness goes to the concubine, she will be able to drink the tea she likes." ”
After Concubine Tang finished inviting the concubine, Gu Meiren followed, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the concubine has recently practiced a new dance, I wonder when His Royal Highness will have time to help the concubine take a look?" ”
Pei Xuanling: "Lone has just taken over the manual department, and I have no time to take care of it for the time being." ”
Gu Meiren smiled bitterly, "It's also ......"
Facing the competition for favor among the concubines, Pei Xuanling glanced at Jiang Liangdi who was at the head of the house with his spare eyes.
The man was staring at the food on her table, as if there was nothing else in his eyes but food.
After a stick of incense, Pei Xuanling lifted the corner of his robe, turned around and entered Concubine Ruan's inner room.
Seeing this, the concubines understood that the prince was going to stay with Concubine Ruan tonight.
Concubine Ruan was flattered and dismissed the concubines of the East Palace, and followed the prince into the inner room.
Concubine Tang pursed her lips dissatisfiedly, knowing that this was the case, she would hold a family banquet in her courtyard, and maybe His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would stay in her courtyard.
Hearing that the family banquet was over, Jiang Shishi left immediately, just thinking about going back to eat delicious food quickly.
On the same day, the prince really stayed in the dormitory of Concubine Ruan.
And the next day, he rested at Concubine Tang's for one night and leveled the two bowls of water for Concubine Tang.
In the following days, the prince was busy taking over the Ministry of Works.
Less than three days after the crown prince and crown, Emperor Jianyuan said in the early dynasty that the princes were all adults, and among several adult princes, in addition to the crown prince, King Kang and King Mu performed better.
Therefore, Emperor Jianyuan ordered that the military department be handed over to King Kang, and the household department was handed over to King Mu to manage.
These two departments, one is in charge of the military power of the world, and the other is in charge of the world's finances, and if you pick one out, they are heavier than the two departments in the hands of the prince!
At the beginning, King Kang and King Mu rarely worked together, so that the people under them proposed to the emperor to share more errands for the crown prince, even if they were expected to be able to get a piece of the pie.
If they took the initiative to ask the emperor for an errand, they would definitely not be able to ask for anything.
But if it creates the illusion that the prince is greedy and wants to seize power, the emperor reluctantly gives the prince a ministry of works, and naturally let them weigh the prince.
After the dismissal of the government on this day, Pei Xuanling returned to the East Palace in a bad mood.
After dinner, sitting in front of the bookcase to review official documents, he was rarely a little calm.
"Huang Dechang, on the day of the lonely crown, what gifts did the concubines of the East Palace give?"
Faced with the prince's sudden questioning, Huang Dechang couldn't figure out the prince's thoughts, "Those gifts have been collected in the warehouse, if you want to know, the slave will take all those gifts." ”
Pei Xuanling waved his hand, "No need, what did you just say Jiang Liangdi sent?" ”
Huang Dechang thought for a while, "Jiang Liangdi seems to be giving a knife, but it doesn't look like a knife......"
"Is it a knife or not?" Pei Xuanling frowned and asked.
Huang Dechang: "Well, the minion doesn't know what to say, anyway, it doesn't look like a knife, but it seems to be a knife again......"
Seeing that Huang Dechang couldn't say that he was ugly, Pei Xuanling simply said to him: "Take it to Lone." ”
After Huang Dechang responded, he went to the warehouse to look for gifts.
After a while, Huang Dechang came in with a small carved gift box and handed it to the prince, "Your Highness, this is the gift that Jiang Liangdi gave you." ”
Pei Xuanling opened the gift box and saw that there was a delicate and small bronze knife in the box.
It's just that the knife is too small.
The blade is only two inches wide, and the handle is different from other knives, it is round.
He finally understood why Huang Dechang couldn't say it, that is, he couldn't say what kind of knife it was.
Even, it doesn't look like a knife at all.
But you have to say that it is not a knife, and it has sharp lights on its sides.
Pei Xuanling impatiently put the knife back into the gift box, "Huang Dechang, prepare for it, go to Shiyue Pavilion!" ”
