The next day was still a moment before the hour, and Tang Shi was awakened by the biological clock.

In October, the weather is getting colder and colder.

Tang Shi has been afraid of the cold since he was a child and is very reluctant to get up. Chunxi took the clothes to the bedside, but she refused to get up, but stretched out half of her white jade-like arm and hooked the clothes into the quilt, and put them on tightly.

After sleeping all night, Tang Shi's face was puffy, so tender that he could pinch out the water, his eyes were foggy, with a sleepy feeling, and he looked confused and cute.

Chunxi is really tired of watching. Her mother-in-law is beautiful, has a good temperament, has no shelf, never tosses the palace people, and there is no such a good master, why can't the emperor see it, but he pampers Concubine An, and he hasn't called her mother alone for so long.

She unconsciously muttered out the dissatisfaction in her heart.

Tang Shi laughed: "It's good for us to do this, don't say such things in the future, remember that trouble comes from the mouth." ”

She didn't want to embroider a sachet for the night, and she couldn't accept it.

Guagua: [Host, that's not necessarily. 】

Tang Shi wondered: [What do you mean? Did something happen after I fell asleep? ”

Guagua said slowly: [The emperor is sympathetic to Concubine An who worked all night last night, and he doesn't plan to summon you to Chengqian Palace this morning. 】

Tang Shi was happy when he heard it: [Say it early. 】

She immediately stopped dressing, retracted her neck into the bed, and prepared to sleep until she woke up naturally.

Guagua: [I'm not done yet. I said, I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep, the emperor rewarded An Concubine with a pair of green glazed porcelain vases from Dingyao, and Zhou Cairen ten horses of Shu brocade. 】

Tang Shi really couldn't sleep, turned over and sat up with the quilt rubbed on the ground, the joy of paid vacation was gone, and he beat his chest: [Ahhhh That's a national treasure-level porcelain, do you know how much Dingyao porcelain can be auctioned? A bowl can fetch 100 million, which is a pair of bottles, and it must be a lot more expensive. There is also Shu brocade, which is precious and valuable. I don't pick anything, just give me anything. 】

Guagua's faint knife made up again: [Not only that, but the Queen Mother also rewarded An Concubine with a set of rubies, which were inlaid with seventy-two rubies, the largest one was the size of a pigeon's egg. 】

Tang Shi covered his chest: [Don't say it, if you continue to talk about it, jealousy will make me unrecognizable. 】

It's still an concubine who is smart, embroidering the sachet overnight in exchange for so many good things.

She really wants to work overtime.

No way, the boss is too generous. The capitalists should learn from the Dog Emperor and the Queen Mother, and if they lose any of their learning, the workers will be willing to work overtime.

Because of missing out on treasures such as national treasure-level porcelain and Shu brocade and rubies, Tang Shi's mood today is not very beautiful, and the direct consequence is that she unintentionally gossiped and complained, and honestly sat at the bottom of the position and ate with her head bored.

Emperor Tianheng hadn't heard that noisy voice all the time, and he was surprised and a little worried at the same time.

Today, he specially asked the imperial dining room to make the grilled squid, skin shrimp, and garlic abalone she said, and as for the spicy crab, the imperial dining room used pepper, dogwood, ginger, mustard and other flavors, but the taste was not very good, so it was not presented.

Could it be that today's dishes displeased her?

An Concubine, who still has dark circles under her eyes, is also a little apprehensive, but at the same time a little excited. If the voice disappears, no one will be able to debunk her.

She ate the seafood slowly, wondering how she would be pampered tonight.

Although she stayed in Chengqian Palace last night, only she knew what she was doing. This kind of superficial temporary favor is like the duckweed that goes with the flow, unreliable.

You still have to be pampered and have a child, so that you can have a long-term future.

The three concubines were silent.

Everyone had their own thoughts about this meal, only Tang Shi turned grief and anger into appetite, and ate the most.

When she was full, her mood also improved, and she had the heart to gossip again.

[Fold Fu Qianqian, the Queen Mother is not dead. ] 】

[This time, I didn't send a concubine, I sent a palace maid instead, and I was still a girl from the side branch of the Fu family. 】

[The two of them are so beautiful, the hibiscus face and willow waist, the dog emperor is blessed. 】

Hearing her familiar voice, Emperor Tianheng breathed a faint sigh of relief.

Even the smile on Concubine Shu's face widened a little, Li Zhaorong took a sip of the teacup to hide the smile that was about to reach her mouth, only Concubine An stroked the sideburns in her ears a little uncomfortably.

After lunch, they were sent to the side hall.

This time, there is not only tea and snacks in the side hall, but also a batch of fabrics.

Donglai explained on the side: "This is a batch of materials for this year's tribute, including kudzu cloth, banana cloth, kudzu silk cloth, cinnamon cloth, spotted cloth, bamboo cloth, the emperor specially asked the servants to take the booklet over, let the ladies pick some favorites." ”

He ordered the sheets and samples to be brought in, and asked the steward to explain to them what colors and patterns each cloth had.

Tang Shi was happy, although she had to wait for Concubine Shu, Li Zhaorong, and Concubine An to finish picking before she could get her turn, but how bad could the cloth for the tribute be?

And now that the weather is cold, with these fabrics just right to make a few warm clothes.

[The Dog Emperor is finally generous. 】

Emperor Tianheng next door has always been serious and rigid, and his face unconsciously ripples with a shallow arc.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty ......" Xuanping Hou Pang Zhi shouted tentatively a few times.

Emperor Tianheng came back to his senses, coughed, his dark eyes were deep, and he reverted to a cold and majestic emperor: "Go on." ”

Xuan Pinghou continued to talk about official business.

Half an hour later, the official business came to an end, and he arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen still has a private matter that I want to ask the emperor for permission." ”

Emperor Tianheng bowed lightly: "What's the matter?" ”

Xuanping Hou said: "The boy of Weichen is already waiting outside the palace gate, waiting for the emperor to summon him." ”

Emperor Tianheng understood that Xuanping Hou wanted to ask his youngest son to be crowned the prince.

Xuan Pinghou's eldest son disappeared inexplicably last year, and after a year of searching, he didn't even find his bones. Xuanping Hou should have been ready to give up, so he decided to ask his youngest son for a seal.

Xuanping Hou is very old, and his health is not very good, maybe he will go one day, and he should indeed set the heir as soon as possible, so as to avoid being in a hurry.

Emperor Tianheng was willing to give this old minister some decency, and nodded and said, "Xuan." ”

Soon, Pang Xiaogongzi came in.

When he was going to enter the palace today, he was dressed quite grandly, with jasper hairpins, royal blue brocade robes, and mutton fat and jade pendants, all of which were full of wealth.

Seeing that his age is not very old, he is not yet the age of a weak crown, and he has a little youthful childishness on his face.

Entering the imperial study, he honestly knelt down and saluted: "Minister Pang Fei sees the emperor, and the emperor is Jin'an." ”

"Get up and let me see." Emperor Tianheng said lightly.

Pang Fei stood up, looked up cautiously, and revealed a fair and handsome face, the outline of his facial features was three points similar to that of Xuanping Hou, but the dark circles under his eyes were a little conspicuous, and he didn't seem to have slept well.

In order to show his favor, Emperor Tianheng asked him what he did on weekdays.

Pang Fei was obviously prepared, and the answer was like a stream: "The minister likes to read the most, and he reads hard behind closed doors every day, but unfortunately his brain is really dull, and he has repeatedly failed in the township test." Unlike the eldest brother, Eighteen was lifted. ”

Xuanping Hou's eldest son is not bad, he was lifted at the age of eighteen, but the next two exams were failed for various reasons, and he was going to fight three wars, but he disappeared unexpectedly when he went out to visit friends last year.

It happened to rain on those days, and the rain washed away a lot of traces. Everyone speculated that he may have encountered jackals, tigers and leopards on the road and was dragged into the forest and met with an accident.

Speaking of the eldest son, Xuanping Hou was a little sad, but today he asked for the seal for his youngest son, and he didn't forget to get down to business. Hiding the discomfort in his heart, he praised his youngest son: "Your Majesty, although the kid is not talented, he is extremely hardworking, he works hard every day, and reads the third watch at night, so that he pays more attention to rest, but he always doesn't listen." ”

It is obvious that Xuanping Hou is distressed about his son's dark circles, and he also intends to praise his son for his diligence and hard work in front of the emperor.

[It is really employed, but it is not used in the right place. 】

[Xuan Pinghou would never have imagined that his precious son stayed up late every day to rob cats and catch mice. 】

The well-informed Tang poems were stunned by Pang Fei's hobby, how could anyone like to catch mice? There are many bacteria in rats, and the famous plague is spread through rats.

[And if you catch it, you don't kill it, you raise it baby, and you raise a Zhuangzi mouse. 】

[I'm mad, but I pity the tenants on the village, as well as the nearby farmers, who are so unlucky, the crops they planted have been eaten up by the rampant rats. 】

The smile on Xuan Pinghou's face froze, and he couldn't believe his ears.

His obedient, filial, hard-working youngest son said he was studying, but in fact he was catching mice every day? Impossible. They are both serious people, how could they give birth to such a quirky son.

Over there, Tang Shi was still complaining frantically.

[It's okay to keep mice and hamsters as pets, so white and tender, clean and cute. What do you do with black rats that are full of bacteria and burrowing everywhere? Isn't he afraid of getting sick? 】

[Crazy, he also digs rat holes in the yard himself.] Once a baby mouse he raised made a deep hole in the ground of the study, Pang Fei dug for a long time and didn't dig it, but burned the fire to smoke the mouse hole, and then burned the study, and several lonely books were burned down, sad. 】

[He said that he was too sleepy to read, and accidentally knocked over the candle when he was napping, and the study burned.] 】

[But the two of Xuanpinghou were so distressed that they asked the doctor to change the yard for him, and they also stewed half of the treasured century-old ginseng for him to drink. 】

[And he also hugged the mouse to sleep in frenzy, ate a bowl of rice with the mouse, he took a spoonful of the mouse, I was going crazy, he was going to vomit out of the overnight meal last night. 】

Concubine Li Zhaorong and the others also picked up a handkerchief to cover their mouths, suppressing the urge to vomit.

Xuan Pinghou's face was pale, and he trembled.

He didn't believe it, but many things said by the other party were right, and he couldn't believe it.

Several ministers next to him looked at Xuanping Hou with pity, and unconsciously distanced themselves from their father and son. The rats are very dirty, and there are fleas, so if they get dirty, they must not be twisted by their ears when they go home.

Emperor Tianheng rubbed his eyebrows, and he also had some sympathy for Xuanping Hou, who was originally showing off his son, but it turned out to be like this.

Only Pang Fei, who was unconscious, was still showing off, and pretended to be modest and said: "The minister is already a big step behind others, and he should rise up." As the so-called stupid bird flies first, the minister believes that as long as the minister works hard, he will always be able to be named on the gold list one day and live up to his father's expectations. ”

It's really nice to say, just if you dig mouse holes every day and recognize mice as brothers and wives, you can only have ghosts in high school in this life.

Xuanping Hou was so panicked that he couldn't listen anymore: "Shut up." ”

Pang Fei looked at Xuanping Hou aggrieved and surprised: "Father, what's wrong with you?" Feeling unwell? ”

"No, you shut up Lao Tzu." Xuan Pinghou's mood was extremely bad.

Afraid of burping this old guy with anger, Emperor Tianheng spoke: "Xuanping Hou, have you thought clearly? ”

It is also a chance to give Xuanping Hou a chance to choose again, whether they want such an heir in Xuanping Hou's Mansion or not.

Xuanping Hou was also very entangled.

He had three sons in his life, the second died early, and the eldest son with high hopes is gone, and now there is only the youngest son left, who will the title not be passed on to him? You can't pass it on to outsiders.

But this son lies a lot, his playthings are discouraged, he does things in a disorderly manner, he only wants to be happy for himself, he doesn't care about others at all, and he doesn't consider his identity.

If he really likes mice, he can catch one or two, wash them and keep them in cages.

But Wan didn't take a Zhuangzi to raise mice, but also ate and lived with mice, and stayed up all night digging holes to catch mice.

Today, the emperor and several highly respected ministers know his habits, but I am afraid that the emperor and ministers will not treat him in the future, and hand over the Xuanping Marquis Mansion to him, and the Xuanping Marquis Mansion will fall out of favor and decline in the future.

But if he wants to pass on the inheritance laid down by his ancestors to outsiders, he is really unwilling in his heart, and he is afraid that he will go underground and have no face to see his ancestors.

When Xuanping Hou was entangled, he heard the mysterious female voice sound.

[I'll just say, no matter how hidden he is, the people in the courtyard will cover for him, and it will be impossible for no one to find out for a long time. 】

[Xuanping Hou Shizi is really a good person, Pang Fei begged hard, and he relented and promised to give the other party a chance to reform himself. As everyone knows, it was his soft-heartedness that buried his life. 】

What do you mean?

The disappearance of the eldest son was not an accident? Xuanping Hou fell into the ice cellar, could no longer hold on, and fell to the ground weakly.
