Li Chunyu held Tianhuo's policy manuscript in his hand, carried three bottles of pills that strengthened Peiyuan and Chongguan to protect acupoints, politely declined Tianhuo's invitation to leave him for lunch, and left the Xuanji branch with satisfaction.

The purpose of this trip has been fully achieved, the time has passed noon, Li Chunyu did not dare to delay and quickly returned to the imperial city.

Hurry back at this time, the emperor will be able to see Tianhuo's strategy after the morning break, and the time cannot be delayed for a moment.

Emperor Song didn't have a lunch break today, and when Li Chunyu asked to see him, Emperor Song was talking with Wang Jien with a smile.

Li Chunyu secretly observed the emperor's expression, and found that the emperor was in a good mood today, so he immediately presented the brocade bag.

Wang Jien took the brocade bag and respectfully placed it on the dragon case, Emperor Song smiled and opened the seal of the brocade bag and said: "Jien, people just can't stand the chatter, we are talking about him, the strategy is here, let me take a look first." ”

Emperor Song took out the stack of nearly fifty manuscripts of the policy theory, but he didn't expect Tianhuo to be so serious and write so many sheets.

Emperor Song looked at the handwriting of the manuscript, the calligraphy turned out to be good, he himself is a master of calligraphy, and he naturally pays attention to the calligraphy of his subordinate officials, Tianhuo is only sixteen years old, and it is not easy to have such calligraphy.

Looking at the ink on it again, it was very new, Emperor Song reached out and touched it, raised his head and asked, "Chunyu, did you have this strategy copied by you?" Why is the ink so new?"

When Li Chunyu saw the emperor asking, he immediately said truthfully: "If you go back to the emperor, this policy was written by Tianhuo himself on the spot this morning, and the slave returned to the palace immediately after getting it, and he didn't dare to delay for a moment, and he didn't have time to arrange for copying." ”

Emperor Song said: "Oh, this kid only wrote it in the morning? It won't be forgotten, the calligraphy was put together in the morning, and the calligraphy is okay, I'll take a look at the content first, if the literature and science don't make sense, see if I don't hit his board." ”

Emperor Song didn't need an answer to what he said just now, Wang Jien and Li Chunyu were both slaves with eyes, and they knew that it was best for no one to answer at this time.

Wang Jien gave Li Chunyu an inquiring look, Li Chunyu nodded slightly, Wang Jien withdrew his gaze, and his eyes fell back on Emperor Song.

Emperor Song read the strategy carefully, and frowned slightly soon after the beginning, it seemed that he was not very satisfied with the content, and then his expression became solemn, and then he felt a little angry, and then he quickly calmed down again, and then he frowned tightly and read the strategy until he finished reading it.

After reading it, Emperor Song's eyes fell on the blank space of the last piece of paper, and fell into a long thought, Wang Jien and Li Chunyu did not dare to speak, nor did they dare to move, and the study was so quiet that the sound of heartbeat could be heard.

Emperor Song took a long breath and said: "Well, this son is really extraordinary, and the angle and depth of thinking about problems far exceed that of most courtiers. ”

Fan Hou, the emperor's son-in-law, the princess's husband, another name for the commander of the horse, the state system of the Song Dynasty, the commander of the horse is generally not awarded a real position, even if it is granted, it can only be a military position, not a civil official.

Wang Jien naturally knew that the princess that Emperor Song said was Ah Li, but Li Chunyu was confused.

This news is too unexpected, no wonder the emperor favors Tianhuo, it turned out that he wanted to recruit Tianhuo as a concubine, but all the princesses in the palace have been married, I don't know where the emperor found a princess to marry Tianhuo, do you want to choose a woman from the clan to accept as a righteous daughter?

Emperor Song sighed for a long time and said, "Let's talk about this matter then." Jien, this policy is very good, but the content is a bit radical, and the time has not yet come, so it is not suitable to implement it for the time being, so keep it on file.

issued an order, because of the meritorious advice of Tianhuo, he was awarded 'Ru Linlang' and 'Wu Cavalry Captain'. ”

Wang Jien took out his notebook and said with some embarrassment: "Your Majesty, although these two titles are only six-rank scattered ranks, but one civil and one military rank are awarded at the same time, there is no precedent, I am afraid that the officials and the six branch officials will have complaints." ”

Emperor Song smiled and said, "Ji'en, do you think I don't even have the power to grant two six-rank scattered ranks?"

Wang Jien hurriedly said: "The old slave knows, so let's do it." ”

"Just let Li Chunyu write, haven't you always wanted to promote this godgrandson?

Li Chunyu was overjoyed, and immediately knelt down to thank him, and the emperor decided that Li Chunyu would be appointed as the fourth eunuch in a word, and since then Li Chunyu has also entered the ranks of the six eunuchs in the Ouchi, which is a height that many eunuchs cannot reach in their lifetime.

"The New Year is coming!" Chunyu, you go and inform Tianhuo to let him enter the palace on Chinese New Year's Eve, and invite him to participate in the royal family's New Year's festival. ”

Li Chunyu hurriedly responded, and said in his heart: "The emperor's favor to Tianhuo is incredible, even most of the people in the royal family can't attend the New Year's celebration of the royal family, and Tianhuo, a horse captain who has not yet recruited a concubine, is actually qualified to attend, which is amazing." ”

Regarding the relationship between Tianhuo and himself, Li Chunyu has already thought very clearly, he can no longer regard himself as a big brother in the future, Tianhuo will definitely be one of his masters in the future, and he should be especially respected.

......

In the evening, Emperor Song drove to Huayang Palace, and Queen Tu personally went to the palace courtyard to pick up the car.

Emperor Song saw the queen waiting in the courtyard from a distance, without any ornaments on her head, only wearing a dark blue Cui Zhai pattern dress, wearing a green gauze middle single, green socks and thin shoes, if it were not in the Huayang Palace, I am afraid that few people would dare to recognize this as the queen of the Great Song Kingdom by virtue of her clothes.

Queen Tu is tall, fair-skinned, beautiful, and has a dusty temperament, even if she is dressed plainly, her innate noble temperament can overshadow the women in the entire harem.

Emperor Song only felt a heat in his heart, and hurriedly picked up the queen and walked towards Huayang Palace.

"Yoyo, you're not in good health, don't come to the hospital to greet you in the future. ”

The queen shook her head firmly and said: "The concubine is the example of the six palaces, how can she do something that violates the etiquette system, if it spreads out and makes people laugh at it, it will cause trouble to the emperor." ”

Emperor Song patted the queen's hand and said: "Only Youyou is the one who really thinks about me! ”

"In this case, the emperor can come to rest here more often in the future. ”

Emperor Song sighed: "I also want to, but they don't give me so much time, and for the sake of the hundreds of millions of people of the Great Song Dynasty, I don't dare to slack off too much." ”

The queen smiled and said, "The concubine knows the emperor's difficulties and will not let you be embarrassed." ”

Emperor Song stopped, turned the queen's body over, looked at the queen deeply and said, "Yoyo, I didn't fulfill the oath I made back then, will you hate me?"

The queen took a step forward, snuggled up to Emperor Song's chest and said, "After knowing your identity back then, the concubine knew that there would be such a result, and that oath was not made by the concubine, so the concubine will not pursue it."

As long as the emperor can still think of his concubines after he is busy with the world's major affairs, can come to Huayang Palace to rest for a while, and can hold his concubines like now, the concubines will be content. ”

Emperor Song was moved in his heart, and couldn't help but hold the queen's face, seeing her beautiful face with tears in his eyes, he couldn't help but tap her lips.

"Yoyo, the sacrifice you made for me is too great, I haven't been able to save your child, what happened back then ......"

The queen suddenly stretched out her hand to cover Emperor Song's mouth and said, "Your Majesty, don't say it again, it's good that the child can come back, so that the concubines won't have any regrets." ”

Emperor Song grabbed the queen's hand in a little surprise and said, "Youyou, you know everything?"

The queen glanced at Emperor Song and said, "The concubine doesn't care about the world, and she knows that someone wants to assassinate our daughter." And recently, the number of people watching Huayang Palace has increased, and the concubines don't want the emperor to bother, so they don't bother them, and they don't know when they will know how to restrain themselves. ”

Emperor Song's brows furrowed, and he roared angrily: "Shiliang!"

When Emperor Song and the Empress were intimate just now, all the subordinates avoided it, and after hearing the emperor's roar, Shi Liang, the eunuch in charge of Huayang Palace, rushed out and knelt on the ground.

Emperor Song roared angrily: "Dog minion, how are you bad? Everyone else has bullied the queen, don't you know to report it to me? The lord humiliates the ministers to death, do you still have the face to live in the world?"

Shiliang lay on the ground and didn't dare to move.

The queen hurriedly stroked Emperor Song's chest and said, "Your Majesty, don't be angry, be careful of being angry." I won't let them tell you, lest you be upset. Shiliang has been serving me faithfully, so don't punish him. ”

Emperor Song's anger subsided a little and said, "Shiliang, I asked you to make up for the subordinates in the queen's palace, why haven't you moved?"

"Back to the emperor, Niangniang has not allowed her, and the slave has recently had the courage to increase the number of subordinates to sixteen, and as a result, she has been counted down several times by Niangniang. ”

Emperor Song's face palely palely pale, "Sixteen people are barely enough." Niang Niang is a person who doesn't like to take care of things, you have to be careful to train those minions well, and you don't want any of those guys with bad conduct and frivolous and slippery.

I hope that Huayang Palace will always be a pure land in the palace, and there will not be so much deception outside, do you understand?"

Shiliang said yes again and again.

Emperor Song took the queen into Huayang Palace, which was still decorated plainly, but Emperor Song liked this simple feeling, he had seen too much glory and wealth, but the plain and simple Huayang Palace attracted him the most.

"Your Majesty, it's almost the New Year, and I don't know if Ah Li's child can get to Jinling City safely?"

"Yoyo, you don't have to worry, now that Ah Li has Xuanjizi's master and apprentice and the judge of Taiyi Academy personally protecting him, there will be no more danger.

In order to avoid complications, I did not ask them to change their original itinerary and hurry, and they should be in Ganxi on Chinese New Year's Eve, not in time for the royal family festival on Chinese New Year's Eve. ”

The queen was a little disappointed and said: "That Ah has to move back from the day of recognizing his ancestors and returning to his ancestors, so I want to see her as soon as possible." ”

"Yoyo, don't worry, Ah Li will be able to reach Jinling City by the fifth day of the new year at the latest. I have already sent someone to paint a portrait of Ah Li, and the portrait and blood sample will be sent to Huayang Palace tonight, so that you can see your daughter's appearance in advance. ”

The queen was a little stunned and said, "Blood samples, why do you want to collect Ah Li's blood samples?"

Emperor Song said solemnly: "Youyou, although you and I are 100% sure that Ah Li is our daughter, when recognizing the ancestors and returning to the ancestors, we still need Ah Li to use his own blood to drive the heirloom bell of the royal family, otherwise the clan will not recognize her identity." ”

The queen said gloomily: "It's good to test in advance to avoid accidents." Ah Jie, promise me, if Ah Li is really our daughter, you must love her well!"

Emperor Song touched the empress's hair and said, "Youyou, you don't have to worry about this, I will not love her less than you!" Although Ah Li can't come back this time, I invited Tianhuo to participate in the royal family sacrifice on Chinese New Year's Eve. ”
