"Therefore, it is better to cut through the mess quickly, let the capable people live in it, and let them die, Weichen is not boasting, just relying on his ability, I believe that it will not be long before he can convince his brothers."

Emperor Duan Ming was stunned for a moment, carefully reflecting on what he had just said.

Yes, if you don't have a son for a long time, will the brothers be harmonious?

Everyone stared at the most honorable position, everyone was the enemy of life and death of the other party, and finally the brothers were in trouble and the family was restless.

This is the case for a small Hou Mansion, let alone the position of the crown prince of the royal family?

He suddenly looked at An Yuanhou.

"You have faith in your son."

Marquis An Yuan smiled and scratched his head, obviously he was a dignified marquis, but at this time, he was so honest in front of the emperor that he looked like a farmer next door.

He said with a smile: "The seed sown by the younger brother himself, the younger brother naturally understands a little bit, Qian'er's talent is really good, but it is ill-fated, if he was not held wrong when he was a child, he is already a son of the world now, why do you need to compete with other brothers." ”

The Emperor nodded.

"Okay, I understand your intentions, Fuquan!"

"Your Majesty."

A eunuch with a dust-whisk in his hand respectfully came over.

The emperor said in a deep voice: "Proposed decree, Feng Lin is the prince of the Marquis of Anyuan, if anyone is not satisfied, even if they come to me, I will support Lin Tian." ”

"Yes."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Lin Bi and Jiang Hua both knelt down excitedly and said gratefully.

The Emperor laughed.

"Alright, all flat, come! An Yuanhou, the chess just now is not finished, so let's accompany me to kill two more games. ”

An Yuanhou hurriedly followed, "Yes." ”

The news from the imperial city soon reached the embroidery division.

Inside the yamen of the embroidery department.

Pei Qingyan had just come back from outside and was changing his clothes, Qing Xuan was waiting for him, and while taking the clothes for him, he whispered: "I heard that Your Majesty directly issued an order to seal Jiang Hua as the prince, which is too unruly, and I don't know what Marquis An Yuan said to Your Majesty, and it made Your Majesty so partial." ”

Pei Qingyan said lightly: "He has changed his name now, his name is Lin Tian, you should call him Lin Gongzi or Lin Shizi." ”

Qing Xuan pursed his lips disdainfully.

"A villain who relies on shady means to get favor is just a villain, and he deserves me to call him the son of the world."

Pei Qingyan moved.

Qing Xuan asked, "My lord, what's wrong?" ”

Pei Qingyan turned his head to look at him.

"I remember last time, did His Majesty say that he wanted to eat Dongshi's sugar crisp? Tell me to buy it for him and bring it to the palace? ”

Qing Xuan was stunned for a moment and shook his head, "No, where did Your Majesty say this?" ”

"It must have been said, but you forgot."

As he spoke, he put on his cloak and strode out.

"I'm going to buy candy crisps in the East Market."

Qingxuan: "......"

The adults in their family are getting more and more naïve, and they want to come out one by one.

The tip of the moon.

Because it is close to the end of the year, the capital has begun to show the New Year's spirit, there are lights everywhere, the curfew is not implemented in Beijing, there are countless pedestrians who come and go on the wide moat to play on the river surface, put river lanterns, there are many stalls selling snacks or juggling toys on the street, all of them should be dazzling, lively and extraordinary.

Pei Qingyan rode into the palace on horseback, and when he arrived at the palace gate, he turned over and dismounted, and the palace people guarding the door shouted: "Who is coming?" ”

He didn't respond, got off his horse and strode forward.

The guard guarding the door saw his face clearly, and was immediately shocked, walked forward quickly, and arched his hand: "It turned out to be Lord Pei, forgive the villain for having eyes and not knowing Mount Tai, I don't know that Lord Pei is coming, Lord Pei is ......."

The guard stared at what he was carrying.

Pei Qingyan said: "Your Majesty announced that I have something to do with entering the palace, where is Your Majesty now?" ”

The guard scratched his head.

"At this hour, it should be in the Qianqing Palace, but it may also be in the Fengzao Palace, the new Jiang Meiren who has recently entered the palace is very favored by His Majesty, and has been sleeping in Jiang Meiren's palace for half a month, Master Pei might as well go and find it?"

Pei Qingyan nodded and strode towards the palace.

At this moment, Fuquan suddenly came over with two people.

"Huh, Master Pei?"

Pei Qingyan saw Fuquan and walked over and asked, "Where is my uncle now?" ”

His relationship with the emperor is extremely close, although he is not a parent-child, but he is better than a parent-child, and Fu Quanquan is the emperor's personal slave who knows it, so it is not surprising to hear him called him like this, he only smiled flatteringly: "In the Qianqing Palace, Master Pei is looking for His Majesty to talk about something, right?" Please come with the minions, and the minions will take you there. ”

Pei Qingyan did not refuse.

The two walked on the road, and when the palace people passing by saw Pei Qingyan, they bowed their heads and did not move when they were far away, and squatted down to salute.

Pei Qingyan looked at it as if it were nothing.

I saw Fuquan smile while guiding him: "Today, the emperor still talked to the old slave about you, saying that you have worked hard to go to Jizhou this time, and you have been busy for more than half a year, and you will not come to see his old man when you return to Beijing, Your Majesty is angry." ”

Pei Qingyan curled the corners of his lips.

"Uncle, is this missing me?"

"It's not, the emperor hasn't talked about a few princes a few times a year, but he has been talking to you every once in a while, you should really go into the palace to accompany the emperor more, so as not to miss the emperor too much."

Pei Qingyan said with a smile: "I did have a lot of negligence to my uncle when I went out to do errands before, but now that I have returned to Beijing, I naturally want to enter the palace to visit my uncle, and I remember the words of Gonggong Fu." ”

It didn't take long for the group to walk to the gate of the Qianqing Palace.

Pei Qingyan paused, and Fuquan motioned for the other two palace people to wait outside, and pushed the door in alone.

It didn't take long to hear Emperor Duanming's angry shouts coming from inside, "Since you're here, why don't you come in quickly!" What are you doing standing outside in the middle of winter? ”

Pei Qingyan hooked his lips and stepped in.

I saw that the lights in the Qianqing Palace were flourishing.

Emperor Duanming sat on a bright yellow horizontal couch in the middle, and was making folds there.

He is only forty-five years old this year, with a handsome face, and when he doesn't speak, he has a domineering aura that is not angry and arrogant, which is the majesty that long-term superiors are accustomed to developing.

Seeing Pei Qingyan, he didn't put down his pen, but just said in a cold voice: "Finally remembered to enter the palace?" ”

Pei Qingyan stepped forward with a smile, and while instructing the eunuch next to him to get the plate, he put down the sugar crisp in his hand and opened the oil paper in the package.

"It's not that I don't want to enter the palace, haven't I been busy with the affairs of the division? I finally took time out today, so why don't I come to see you? You see, I went out of my way to buy your favorite candy crisp, and you didn't praise me for my hard work, why did you blame me? ”

The eunuch brought the plate, and he was not surprised by Pei Qingyan's relationship with the emperor.

The emperor paused, but he couldn't hold back in the end, and threw the vermilion imperial pen in his hand at him.

"You have a lot of excuses! I'm in charge of the embroidery department, but I'm busier than the emperor. ”

Pei Qingyan smiled and took the royal pen and put it into his arms.

"The pen rewarded by my uncle, my nephew accepted it first, and then went back to make a shelf for it, and it can be used as a family heirloom in the future."

Emperor: "......"
