Xiao Yanxing didn't know when to wrap her up. He has long hands and feet, and when he holds Wang Shu, he can completely hide her in his arms. Brushing the wet long hair behind her back, Xiao Yanxing lowered his head and kissed her eyelashes, and said loudly: "Stand down." ”

The man outside was silent for a moment. Silence returned to the porch.

Xiao Yanxing looked at Wang Shu's nervous appearance, his chin rested on the top of Wang Shu's head, and he couldn't help laughing.

It was as if Wang Shu's expression poked his laughing hole, and his shoulders shook with laughter. After a long time, Wang Shu stopped laughing in the eyes of the fool. This man who has always been serious and cold suddenly asked Wang Shu a question: "Is it the same as cheating?" ”

Wang Shu was speechless: "......"

He didn't bother to pay attention to him, kicked him in the calf, and Wang Shu climbed ashore on all fours and with a dog-like planing.

Xiao Yanxing watched her swim up so well, grabbed a piece of his clothes and put it on his body, and then slowly opened his mouth: "Actually, this pool is only four feet." ”

Wang Shu's hand on his clothes paused, and when he turned his head, he saw Xiao Yanxing standing up so straight. The water in the pool, though deep, was only up to his chest. In the middle of the pool, the black hair of the man who smiled slightly at the corner of his eyes was like a waterfall, and his white jade-like skin reflected his eyes as bright as the stars in the sky. A few strands of wet hair stuck to the sides of her cheeks, beautiful and beautiful......

"Don't sleep too hard when you sleep at night," Wang Shu died, "I'll give you a good look tonight." ”

Xiao Yanxing couldn't help laughing.

Wang Shu's clothes were quietly prepared outside. She changed into clean clothes and left.

In the evening of the same day, Xiao Yanxing was announced to the palace. Naturally, there are concubines Sui Nuanzhi and a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses.

After more than half a year, the palace finally held another lively palace banquet. The results of this year's spring festival are out, and the imperial court will hold a wedding banquet in accordance with the rules of the ancestors. The emperor was ill and could not come to the banquet, so he asked the eldest son and the fifth prince to do the work for him. Emperor Xuan Xiao Yanxing entered the palace with his family, firstly to hear the wedding banquet, and secondly, to see this eldest grandson who had not been seen for a long time.

I have to say that the emperor's move is very confusing. He has always been jealous of Xiao Yanxing, and he took pleasure in watching Xiao Yanxing fall to the bottom, and even took the initiative to hand Xiao Yanxing the opportunity to meet talents. Its purpose is puzzling.

However, since it had been handed to him, Xiao Yanxing was also disrespectful.

Entering the palace that night, he went to the Wen wedding banquet. Sui Nuanzhi took the child to Daming Palace. Xiao Yanxing didn't trust Sui Nuanzhi very much, so he arranged for Mama Yuan to follow him every step of the way. The grandmother held the child throughout the whole process, not daring to slack off.

Sui Nuanzhi saw these arrangements of Xiao Yanxing, but he was rarely not dissatisfied.

In fact, since he met Wang Shu in the bamboo forest that day, Sui Nuanzhi's self-confidence has been greatly impacted. She began to suspect that Xiao Yanxing was reluctant to get close to her because she was not beautiful. Sui Nuanzhi couldn't help but think of the female dependents in Xiao Yanxing's backyard. Then I was surprised to find that all of them were beautiful. Whether it is Concubine Yang or Concubine Mei, they all have their own styles. Not to mention Concubine Liu, her appearance is so beautiful that it makes people forget to see it.

These beautiful and illustrious women cannot be favored by His Royal Highness the eldest son of the emperor, how can she attract His Royal Highness's pity with her ordinary appearance? If there is no place to show her wisdom and the ability to run the house, she is useless.

After realizing this, Sui Nuanzhi settled down like never before.

This time, Sui Nuanzhi also made up his mind to behave well. If the appearance cannot be treated differently by His Royal Highness the eldest son of the emperor, at least in terms of virtuous help, it is necessary to clearly show the value.

The group arrived in front of the Daming Palace and told the eunuch guarding the door. The eunuch asked the group to go in a moment later to make a statement.

Sui Nuanzhi frowned, a little puzzled why the emperor personally summoned them into the palace and acted as if they had come to see them temporarily. But before she could figure it out, a big eunuch came out of it and politely saluted Sui Nuanzhi. Turn your head and lead a few people in.

It's the end of April, and the weather is already getting warmer. There is still a charcoal basin burning in the Daming Palace.

Inside the heavy curtains, an emaciated man sat by the window. I couldn't see the face clearly against the light, and I could only see a pair of eyes as sharp as a knife.

Sui Nuanzhi didn't dare to look around, for fear that something inappropriate would anger the moody emperor. She stared at the third brick in front of her, and she knelt down with proper manner, kowtowing in standard prostration. Behind her, Mama Yuan carried the grandmothers and knelt down to kowtow to the emperor. The two children then got off the ground, standing beside the grandmother with wide eyes and very quiet.

There was silence in the hall, and Sui Nuanzhi's body stiffened, not daring to slack off.

After a long time, a low and elegant voice sounded slowly, startling Sui Nuanzhi's heart. She was stunned for a moment before standing up with her sleeves on. I looked up and caught a glimpse of half of the face of the person above, and I was so frightened that I quickly lowered my eyes. Don't dare to look more. On the contrary, the two little children behind her stared at the emperor with wide eyes and did not shy away from it.

The Emperor was the same at this time, staring quietly at the two children.

Although it is a dragon and phoenix fetus, it looks completely different. One of them estimated that he had collected the advantages of his parents' facial features, and he was a little surprisingly beautiful. At a young age, he was very quiet, his eyes were dripping, and he looked like a good one with a melon seed in the back of his head. The other is more like his father, as if carved out of a mold. There is a pride in the eyebrows, and it looks very much like an old man.

"Which one is a male doll?" The Emperor's voice was as outstanding as his skin. Even though the body has collapsed, the person's skin has not collapsed. Only the sideburns are dyed with frost, and it can be seen that the person is old.

Sui Nuanzhi turned her head to look at the two children, and then at Mama Yuan.

Mama Yuan's hand touched Xiao Junheng's shoulder.

"This one." Sui Nuanzhi's hand was on Xiao Junheng's shoulder, and he took a step forward.

The emperor didn't expect that the beautiful one was a male doll. He beckoned to Xiao Junheng, and Sui Nuanzhiji, Yuan Mama and the others instantly became nervous. The little guy didn't feel nervous, and walked over with his little belly.

He was only three years old, and although he was intelligent, he was still a child. I don't know who the emperor is. He held his little belly and looked up at the sitting emperor with his neck stalked. Big eyes flickering, bulging cheeks and a red mouth. The little one looked up, and the emperor bowed his head. An old man and a young man looked at each other for a long time, and Xiao Junheng suddenly grabbed the hem of the emperor's clothes.

The emperor's face did not move, but the people around him were all frightened. Especially Mama Yuan and Mama Nan, their hearts are about to jump out of their throats.

But the person opposite was the emperor, the emperor did not speak, and no one present had the right to speak. Mama Yuan watched in horror as Xiao Junheng grabbed the hem of the emperor's clothes and climbed onto the dragon chair with a snort. Then he sat in the arms of the emperor.

Sui Nuanzhi had already begun to feel dizzy, and the hands in his sleeves were trembling: "Your Majesty, children are not sensible, if you are offended, ......"

Before she could finish her sentence, the emperor waved his hand and motioned for her to stop.

Sui Nuanzhi felt as if he had been choked by the neck, and his face turned red in an instant. Her palms were sweaty.

Although he had never seen the emperor himself, Sui Nuanzhi had heard too much of the emperor's absurd deeds in his boudoir. In her grandfather's words, the Holy One is a moody and cruel man today. Narrow-minded, but very deep-seated. Such a person is not on the right path, and it is extremely dangerous. She wasn't sure if such a dangerous person would be in public because of a child's unintentional mistake.

However, without waiting for Sui Nuanzhi to swallow this breath, Yo You, who was standing next to the grandmother, estimated that she saw that her brother was sitting, but she was not sitting. The domineering temper was offended, and suddenly he ran over with his little short legs. Without waiting for others to stop her, she grabbed the hem of the emperor's clothes, climbed up with a hum, and sat down on the other side of the emperor.

Not only did she sit, but she also pushed her brother domineeringly. felt that his brother occupied a lot of land, and he arched people to the side vigorously.

The emperor suddenly had two more milky dumplings in his arms. This little group was not only not afraid of him, but also fought as if no one was around. Under the amazement, the emperor was a little stunned for a while.

The two small groups were inseparable from each other, but they didn't like to cry. It's like two soft little milk cats chrysalis in their arms, which makes people's hearts soften.

The emperor originally wanted to ask, but in the end, the two small groups fought and no one let anyone. In order to announce that she had occupied all, Yoyou suddenly threw herself into the emperor's arms and hugged hers, and said inarticulate that it was hers. When Xiao Junheng heard that his sister came to grab it again, he was immediately unhappy. Xin Yiheng also went to pull her, saying that it was his own. The two children quarreled over who the emperor was.

Daming Palace, which has been depressed for many years, will one day be noisy because two children are grabbing things.

The two quarreled to the end, and no one was convinced. It was still the emperor who grabbed the little doll's clothes left and right, tore the two children apart, and said that one and a half were one. It finally stopped. What the emperor was going to say was inexplicably gone, so he held the two children like this, until Xiao Yanxing couldn't wait for the children to come back for a long time. Left the Wenxi banquet halfway and came to Daming Palace to dignitaries.

The Emperor looked at the two children who were already asleep on top of him and laughed. Without raising his head, he said, "Let him go, and the child will stay." ”

The words of the waiter were handed out, and Xiao Yanxing's face turned ugly for a moment.

Sui Nuanzhi didn't stay long before being cleared out, and was waiting in Showa Palace at this time. When he waited for Xiao Yanxing, who had a gloomy face, to come over, he concisely informed Xiao Yanxing of the two children's every move: "Your Highness, the concubine thinks that Your Majesty will not do anything to the children. Your Majesty looks like children. The little prince and the little princess are so cute, they are really likable......"

Sui Nuanzhi's words did not make Xiao Yanxing feel better, and what he was most worried about still happened. Regardless of whether the emperor was restraining him or simply on a whim, detaining the child was the last thing Xiao Yanxing and Wang Shu wanted to see.

"Your Highness, fortunately, Mama Nan and Mama Yuan left ......"

Sui Nuanzhi wanted to apologize, she didn't take a good look at the child, but Xiao Yanxing didn't have the heart to listen to her apology at this time.

"You go back." The emperor really wanted to keep people, and no one could stop him. Although Xiao Yanxing is on fire, he will not be angry for no reason. It was useless for Sui Nuanzhi to wait here at this time, let her go back.

Sui Nuanzhi opened his mouth, but finally swallowed back the words of persuasion. She bowed and led the people away.

Wang Shu received the news that night.

The emperor, as expected, detained both children in the palace. A fire rose in my heart. She couldn't sleep at the moment, so she prepared a car overnight and came to Beizhuang. It happened that Sui Nuanzhi hadn't slept yet, and when she heard that Wang Shu was coming, she muttered for a moment and asked people to invite Wang Shu in.

It was only after a year that the two officially met for the first time.

Sui Nuanzhi quietly stared at the suffocatingly beautiful woman under the candlelight, the hand on her knee slowly clenched, and her fingers picked into the palm of her hand. She straightened her waist as best she could, making her demeanor more dignified. Wang Shu didn't notice Sui Nuanzhi's secretly stiff posture, but was very calm, asking about the situation sentence by sentence.

She carefully looked at the emperor's subtle expression at that time, hoping to judge whether the child was in danger or not.

Sui Nuanzhi didn't speak, the words were all the maidservants around Sui Nuanzhi. No matter how many times these people scolded Wang Shu behind their backs, in front of Wang Shu, their posture should still be more respectful and respectful. Even if you look at Wang Shu's face more, you have to pause.

After listening to the descriptions of these people, Wang Shu's hanging heart was relieved.

At least one thing is certain, the emperor has no ill will towards the child. Maybe it's because I think it's fun for children. The dragon and phoenix fetus is stronger than ordinary children, although they love to fight and grab things, but the two dolls don't like to cry. Not only does he not like to cry, Xiao Junheng is very good at pleasing people. Every move is pleasing. Although Yo You has a domineering temper, she is also a little girl who is very good at looking at faces. As soon as the adult's face changed, she immediately became obedient.

"Thank you." Wang Shu exhaled slowly, stood up and planned to leave.

Seeing this, Sui Nuanzhi opened her mouth to stop her for some reason.

Wang Shu turned her head, "? ”

"Concubine Wang," Sui Nuanzhi raised her chin slightly, staring at the cup in her hand, "How about keeping the prince in my name?" ”

Wang Shu's calm expression suddenly tightened, and he instantly looked sharply at Sui Nuanzhi.

Sui Nuanzhi had expected Wang Shu's reaction, and did not care about Wang Shu's radical attitude at this time.

She raised her head slowly, and moved with emotion: "The concubine is the right, you are the side, and the child is recorded in the name of the concubine, and he is the eldest son of the righteous concubine." Since ancient times, there has been a world of difference. The eldest son and the eldest son are two completely different lives. If you really value the future of your child, it is actually a good thing that you and your child can't ask for. ”

"Oh?" Wang Shu was amused by her natural gesture, and curled the corners of her mouth and mocked, "You don't keep the good things for your own children?" ”

Sui Nuanzhi choked in his throat and paused, "This is something that is beneficial to both you and the concubine." ”

"For that, I have to thank you?"

"Nature."

Wang Shu smiled and lowered her face: "Concubine Zhengniang, you can mention this sentence to Xiao Yanxing." If he promises you, you will come and talk to me again. ”

Dropping this sentence, Wang Shu turned around and left.

Chapter 140

The emperor left the child behind, and Xiao Yanxing could only stay in the palace that night.

The emperor listened to the palace maid and told him about the matter, and did not have any objections. How much I used to hate the eldest son, now it seems that I have suddenly lost my hatred and become tasteless. He didn't see him, and he didn't want to mention Xiao Yanxing, and he would feel calm if he turned a blind eye to everything about him. Xiao Yanxing took advantage of the night when the emperor drank medicine and fell asleep, and secretly went to Daming Palace.

I personally went to the side hall to see the children, and the two children were sleeping soundly. He watched by the bedside for a long time, and then quietly returned to his lodgings.

Early the next morning, Xiao Yanxing had not yet arrived at Daming Palace, and the holy decree arrived first.

The emperor didn't know what to do and ordered Xiao Yan to supervise the country.

In other words, let him clean up the mess. In the past half a year that Xiao Chenghuan has been tossing, the government has already piled up. The emperor was ill and only half a day was awake. He didn't have the energy to review the recitals, and he sat in the court meeting, so that a large number of important court affairs were not taken care of at all. After experiencing the abolition of the crown prince Muni, so many people were purged in the court at one time, and a large number of vacancies were vacant.

At present, someone needs to rectify the government as soon as possible, reappoint and dismiss officials, and put things in order.

The Emperor is good, no matter how much effort it takes. A piece of holy decree threw all the mess to Xiao Yanxing.

Xiao Yanxing's chest was inexplicably choked with a breath, and he couldn't go up or down. But we can't ignore it, the country's important affairs, the society, and the country, are related to the people of the world. It is impossible to take it seriously because of the momentary abandonment of the people of Daqing.

Xiao Yanxing could only secretly arrange for someone to take a good look at the two children, and they were driven to the shelves.

I have to say, Xiao Chenghuan damn it! It's not too much to cut it with a thousand cuts!

In the short half year that he was in charge of the country, in order to accumulate wealth, the tax rose by 20%.

Daqing's tax is considered high, ten years ago two and a half percent of the increase of half of the tax, now there is a thirty percent tax. The poor people are busy working all year round, and the income in the field is not enough for the family to eat and wear, but they still have to tighten their belts and hand over 30%. In order to collect money, Xiao Chenghuan raised another two percent. Fifty percent of the tax went into his private treasury. This is to force the people to die.

In addition, in order to eliminate dissidents, Xiao Chenghuan killed many people in just two months. Among them, many old ministers who have worked hard for the court all their lives have not been unjustly imprisoned in their old age, and some important ministers with strong temperaments died on the spot. From the Mid-Autumn Festival of last year to the New Year, the court lost two generals and five ministers of the famous and practical faction.

Xiao Chenghuan will also envelop forces, and those who follow others will prosper and those who rebel against others will die. Last year, he connived at the henchmen of the East Palace to run rampant and commit murder in public, a total of five cases. The unjust, false and wrongful cases in Dali Temple were piled up, and the people complained.

Xiao Yanxing patiently suppressed the anger and dealt with government affairs without sleep or food.

On the same day, an abolition decree was issued, abolishing the 20% tax added in the previous year. and rehabilitated the courtiers who had not yet been convicted in the prison, and quickly returned to their original positions. The children of the gentleman family, who relied on the power of the East Palace to run rampant in the capital, were arrested overnight. All the funds allocated for the construction of the palace were recovered, and the proposal to build the Star Picking Tower was abolished. and quickly appointed a new secretary to assist him in quickly assessing the performance of the four officials in various places last year.

If the performance is true and the qualifications are met, important responsibilities will be entrusted as appropriate. Last year, the top three students stayed in Beijing according to the rules, and the rest were assigned to the place of household registration, starting from grassroots officials.
