The winter solstice has arrived.

In Dasui, there is a saying that the winter solstice is as big as the year, so this day is a very important festival.

According to the etiquette of the Great Sui, all civil and military officials will enter the palace to meet the two saints on this day.

After seeing the court, you still need to go to the East Palace, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chaohe.

Yang Ming now holds the title of the king of Hedong County, and he is nominally one of the hundred officials, so he has to go.

Last time, the guy named Zhao Yichen in the East Palace once came to remind Yang Ming and asked him to bring Chen Shuyi when he went to the prince of Chaohe on the winter solstice.

"How? Are you going or not? Yang Ming finished dressing and looked at Female Officer Chen with a smile.

Chen Shuyi said angrily: "I am your female official, if you let me go, I will go." ”

"Why are you so well-behaved this time?" Yang Ming smiled and said, "Stay in the palace honestly." ”

Chen Shuyi pouted playfully and helped Yang Ming onto the sedan chair: "If he asks, how will you reply?" ”

Yang Ming waved his hand indifferently: "I'll just say that you have diarrhea and can't get out of bed." ”

Chan Shuyi: "-_-||"

.......

The court ceremony is not complicated, but it is very boring, just kneel in the square in front of the palace and follow the ceremonial officials to chant long live and greetings over and over again.

None of the four princes of Jin, Qin, Shu, and Han were in Beijing, so Yang Ming, the king of the county, knelt at the forefront of the Yang family's clan, together with Yang Xiong, the king of Guangping, Yang Shuang, the king of Wei, Yang Hong, the king of Hejian, and a number of clan children.

I knelt for two hours before the ceremony was over.

Then, the civil and military officials went to the East Palace to congratulate the prince Yang Yong.

When the gift was completed, a group of ministers, including the clan, stuck to Yang Yong's side like a bullshit plaster.

And Yang Yong is also high-spirited, taking his ministers to enjoy the lake and garden, and those who don't know think he has ascended the throne.

This scene made the prince wash the horse Li Gang was not light, he felt that the prince was a little too high-profile, it was obviously a congratulatory gift, but it was as grand as the court ceremony.

Asami and Asaga are not the same.

However, Yang Ming was quite happy, because there was a banquet in the East Palace, and the meat was fragrant and the wine was fragrant, and the music was bursting, and it was very lively.

Yang Ming remembered his father's teachings, and as soon as the congratulatory gift ended, he ran to greet the crown princess Yuanzhen.

Concubine Yuan didn't like to be lively, and under the service of a group of palace maids, she sat in the pavilion by the lake to hide quietly, away from the disturbances of the ministers.

"Little nephew Yang Ming, please say hello to the eldest mother," Yang Ming knelt neatly outside the pavilion and kowtowed twice.

The pale-faced Concubine Yuan, after seeing Yang Ming, a long-lost smile overflowed from the corner of her mouth, and she hurriedly beckoned:

"Silly boy, it's cold on the ground, get up and come here."

Yang Ming stepped forward with a smile, and was pulled into her arms by Concubine Yuan, and a dried fruit was stuffed in her mouth.

"Qilin'er hasn't come to visit me for a long time, have you forgotten about your aunt? Oh, I've grown a lot taller, and I'm getting stronger......."

Concubine Yuan's intimacy with Yang Ming is sincere.

She had a very good relationship with Duguhou, so Yang Ming was often taken by Concubine Yuan to play when she was a child.

At this time, Concubine Yuan's expression was haggard, her face was as white as paper, and she knew at a glance that she had serious deficiencies.

This is a poor woman, due to the extreme disharmony in the relationship between husband and wife, the already cowardly concubine has psychological problems, and her body is deteriorating.

According to historical records, there is one more year, that is, the nineteenth year of the emperor, and she will die of illness.

The Yuan family, where Concubine Yuan was born, is a descendant of the Northern Wei Dynasty clan, one of the six powerful lords of the Great Sui today, and her original surname is Tuoba clan.

In order to complete the integration of Han and Hu, Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty ordered to change the surname of Xianbei to the monophonic Han surname Yuan, and changed the Ba family to the Changsun family, the Dugu family to the Liu family, and the He Lou family to the Lou family.......

Later, in northern China, many Han people actually had Xianbei blood, and the Tuoba royal family's voluntary concession to the Han nationality created the most successful Han-Hu fusion in Chinese history.

With such a hard maiden background, it still can't be exchanged for the serious treatment of the prince Yang Yong, and the couple have been married for nearly 20 years, but they don't have a son and a half daughter.

Queen Dugu asked the hospital to help me see it many times, Concubine Yuan can have children, and it turns out that Yang Yong can too, but there is nothing between them, which is also the biggest factor in Queen Dugu's dislike of Yang Yong - there is no sister-in-law.

Concubine Yuan was still very happy to see Yang Ming, her face was peachy after a long time, she asked for warmth, chatted with Yang Ming for a long time, and finally returned to the inner palace because of her weak body and could not stand the wind and cold for a long time.

Yang Ming thought that he could sneak away, but he didn't think that he would be stopped by someone sent by Yang Yong.

Zhao Yichen, this kid, led Yang Ming to a side hall, and Yang Yong, who was slightly tired, was sitting alone in the hall drinking tea.

"I said eldest nephew, you don't pay attention to this person."

Yang Ming pretended to be stupid and said: "Uncle said this, my nephew is definitely a particular person. ”

Yang Yong snorted coldly: "What about her? Why didn't you bring it? ”

"Don't hide it from Uncle, she has diluted ......"

"Poof!"

Before Yang Ming finished speaking, Yang Yong took a sip of hot tea and sprayed it directly on Yang Ming's face, and said in a daze:

"Would such a beautiful woman still have diarrhea?"

"That's not it," Yang Ming wiped the water stains on his face and said, "Maybe I have eaten my stomach badly, and I have been pulling it for two days, and my Yuehua Hall is stinky." ”

Yang Yong suddenly looked disgusted, and seemed to feel that the fragrant tea in his hand smelled of feces and urine.

"I've heard that Yuwen Yumin is actually Princess Jiu Chen? Chen Shubao's daughter-in-law? ”

Yang Ming said: "Who did Uncle listen to?" How did the nephew not know? ”

"Shao Teniang pretended garlic for me!" Yang Yong said angrily: "I don't know what you thought you were looking for Chen Shubao?" ”

Yang Ming was surprised: "Uncle is following me? ”

"Ahem......" Yang Yong said embarrassedly: "Don't say it so ugly, it's just that someone happened to see it, Chen Shubao's daughter, being a concubine for Gu is not an insult to him, tomorrow, tomorrow you bring her over, uncle is indispensable for your benefits." ”

"That won't work!" Yang Ming drooped his face and said: "She is my person, the female official of the Yuehua Palace appointed by my grandmother, uncle, you are not short of women, why worry about the eldest nephew's person?" ”

Yang Ming had already guessed in his heart that a large part of the reason why Yang Yong wanted to keep Chen Shuyi as something he already had was because he knew Chen Shuyi's identity.

Bringing Chen Shuyi into the East Palace can play a role in befriending the Jiangnan Shi clan, so as to divide the father's influence on Jiangnan.

You're thinking about fart!

Yang Yong's eyes narrowed, and he said fiercely: "You kid is getting more and more disagreeable, don't think that your father and queen mother will support you, you can be presumptuous in front of Lonely, I beat you, it's right." ”

I'm out of the way, if you don't beat me today, you won't plant! ...... Yang Ming gritted his teeth: "Then you fight." ”

"Hey! Kick your nose on your face, don't you? Yang Yong rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward to pick up Yang Ming, which was directly a few big mouths......

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

"Oops, oops, oops, ......"

"Stop, stop fighting!" Li Gang, the prince who happened to be passing by, heard the screams coming from the palace, and was about to break down the door to dissuade him, but was stopped by Zhao Yichen.

The latter sneered: "Lord Li is slow, it is natural for the elders to teach the younger generations, Lord Li seems to be not qualified to take care of the prince's family affairs, right?" ”

Of course, Li Gang couldn't get rid of Zhao Yichen's obstruction at his age, so he blew his beard angrily and glared:

"You idiot! Your Highness can't fight. ”
