The reborn sycophant

It's early morning, in Daqi's imperial palace.

The heavy bed curtains were blown away by the wind that leaked in from the window, and the plum fragrance wrapped in the fragrance of peach blossoms gradually disappeared.Following a few babbles, a slender wrist suddenly fell down from the edge of the dragon bed, which was wide enough for several people to sleep together. The wrist was snow-white, and a shiny black chain was tightly wrapped around it. Into a thrilling picture scroll.

"Ji...don't bother me."

A few crisp sounds of hula passed by, and a figure in the bed curtain half sat up, and did something, which caused the green lotus-like beauty who was still sleeping peacefully to open her eyes annoyed, and turned her back to her. lie down.

The seductive beauty's back arches before her eyes, then straightens, and finally leaves a slightly curved arc as the beauty lays down. The waist is deep, and the thin spring shirt can't cover anything. Zhao Ji couldn't help it. He leaned forward and pressed a kiss on Wei Chu's waist after the banquet.Wei Chuyan shivered sensitively, turned her head and stared at her burningly, she remembered being afraid, she jumped out of bed, put on her clothes and was about to go out, Wei Chuyan called her helplessly : "Give me the key."

She didn't want to lie in this bed all day.

It was only then that Zhao Ji remembered what she had done, and looked around with her dragon boots, only to find the delicate key she had thrown under the bed. She threw the cold little object to Wei Chuyan, and habitually told her to Don't run around, I'm planning to go to the side hall to change into court clothes.Wei Chuyan called her back again: "I have to go home today."

Accompanied by her voice, there was a jingling sound on the bed. It was Wei Chuyan who was unlocking the lock. She opened the chain with ease. Seeing that the emperor was stern and silent, she patiently explained to the emperor: "I have already stayed in the palace. After many days, my eyes have already healed. If I still stay here, sooner or later I will lose my mind to do things. Besides, I haven’t seen my parents for a long time, and I miss them very much. They should also miss me very much. You have to go home."

"It's been fixed for a long time, and it's only two days." Zhao Ji was very disappointed, and asked her again: "Can't we really stay for a few more days?"

"That's what you said yesterday." Wei Chuyan got off the bed, walked towards her barefoot, and kissed her on the cheek: "It's not that I want to leave Chang'an. You will see me every day in the future, why? It's like saying goodbye to life and death?"

Zhao Ji brought the other side of his face closer, Wei Chu agreed, and kissed her again, and then heard Zhao Ji say: "I really want to lock you in this palace, and you are not allowed to go anywhere!"

Wei Chuyan smiled and shook his head: "You won't."

"I wish I would do this, but unfortunately, I really won't, because I care about you, and I know that you entered the officialdom because of me."

Zhao Ji sighed, and there was a touch of regret in the narrow and long eyes, but also a little pride.

"Okay, hurry up and go to court, your grand maid will come to urge you later." Wei Chuyan adjusted Zhao Ji's clothes, although she knew that Zhao Ji would not wear this to go to court.

Zhao Ji grabbed her wrist: "Then wait until I come back from the court before leaving."

"Then I won't be able to leave again."

"Wei Chuyan, I hate how clever you are."

"Your Majesty just said that you like me last night, do you want me to take His Majesty to recall the scene at that time?"

"you!"

Under Zhao Ji's feigned anger, Wei Chuyan straightened her hair that was still a little fluffy when she got up early: "Okay, go, I'll sneak in to accompany you tonight."

There is a palace ban in the palace. At night, the gate of the palace is closed, and the Habayashi guards patrol everywhere. There are many hidden guards in the dark. Even the first-class masters in the world can't get in, but of course this does not include Wei Chuyan. .

When Wei Chuyan was blind, she was able to calmly deal with a group of bandits who were considered experts and had horses to charge. Now that she has regained her sight, there is no place in the world that can stop her.

Hearing her promise, Zhao Ji's eyes lit up.

Wei Chuyan said again: "I am a foreign minister after all, so it's not a good idea to always be so public. Now the ministers are still not sure about your temperament, nor can they confirm the identity of the 'favorite minister' next to you, so they dare not directly intervene with me. But if you always stay with me like this, and keep leaving the harem vacant, when your three-year filial piety expires, and the ministers have excuses, troubles will come one after another."

Zhao Ji said coldly: "Then let them talk, how can I allow them to talk about my private affairs?"

"How can the emperor have any private affairs? Your harem is related to the growth and decline of the various forces in the previous dynasty. Whether your offspring will be rich or not will affect the stability of Daqi. You see, the previous emperor was merciful and did not give birth to a few Qianyang Lords. , even fewer can grow up safely. For the very small number of these Qianyang Lords, he protects them like his own eyeballs. Of course, most of them are due to his selfishness, but there is also a small half because if He doesn't have a prince to shake the dynasty, and the older he is, the more unstable the country will be." Speaking of this, Wei Chuyan was also very distressed: "So the ministers will not only manage your private affairs, but also manage them with confidence."

The problem of offspring has always been Zhao Ji's weakness. It is impossible for her to make concubines pregnant. In order to avoid being suspected in her previous life, there were many pregnant concubines in the harem, but they either died young or were born with stubborn diseases. The candidate for the crown prince.

Those who died young were almost all false pregnancies, and the children were naturally unborn. Only one or two concubines were conceived by the concubine having an affair with others. Although Zhao Ji is not cruel and bloodthirsty, how can the royal blood be mixed with others? ?For such a bold concubine, since she dared to conceive, she had to bear the consequences of the child's death.As for those with stubborn illnesses, they are all children secretly found by Zhao Jiming from the people. This kind of children are either in poor health and cannot live for 20 years, or their defects are too fatal to become princes. They are separated from their family members, but if they stay at home, what they get may not be as good as what they can get in the palace. Many of them survive because of the rare medicinal materials hanging, so Zhao Ji does not feel guilty at all.

Zhao Ji handled the affairs of the harem in this way in his previous life. Although some courtiers secretly suspected that the little emperor was in poor health and affected his heirs, Zhao Ji herself was very energetic. Yes, no one dares to say a word outside.

"It's a difficult thing." It's not that Zhao Ji doesn't know the truth here, but she doesn't intend to compromise with the courtiers.This Daqi is still her world at the moment, since it is hers, she should do it according to her wishes, and one day, she will make people silence about the things she doesn't want to do.

Besides...

"Wei Chuyan, do you really think it is a good thing for the emperor to have many heirs?"

Wei Chuyan shook his head: "Like the former emperor? His heirs are not too many but not too few, but what did he bring in the end? It's sibling separation, brotherhood. Look, this is It was a cruel process. You won and they lost, so you became the new emperor, while they were imprisoned in the mansion and prison, and there was no way they could live forever. No one even dared to deal with them again. Well, the rest of their lives will be bleak and lonely."

Zhao Ji nodded: "This is what they pursued as 'children'.

Much is a blessing'.This point may be right for the Xungui family, but it may not be true for our Tian family. I only want to have a child for you in the future. If he is Lord Qianyang, everything will be fine. It's Lord Kunyin, but it's just that I have to put in more effort to secure the seat of the crown prince for him. "

Who can let the emperor of Daqi bear children for himself?Wei Chuyan himself never thought about this.But looking at Zhao Ji's performance, it seems that she has thought about it for a long time. Wei Chuyan's heart was slightly astringent, and he didn't know what to say. After thinking for a long time, he said dryly: "You can't get pregnant... "

In Daqi, the emperor had to go to court every day except for a few days of taking a bath during the Chinese New Year. If Zhao Ji's belly grew... I'm afraid all the princes and kings in the world will be rebellious.

This is also one of the hidden dangers brought about by too many heirs. When an emperor has many heirs, he wants to become a king arbitrarily. Up to now, there are many large and small kingdoms on the land of the Qi Dynasty, and some powerful ones have gradually grown into threats after several generations of management. The power of the emperor, how dare she relax?

Zhao Ji also thought of this matter, she leaned lazily on the door frame, raised her brows slightly, glared at the court lady who urged her to go up, and said softly to Wei Chuyan: "Let's discuss it later, because there are more children. There are many disadvantages, but there are many disadvantages of weak heirs... don't worry, we have a long time to think about it."

Looking at her energetic appearance, Wei Chuyan suddenly thought, yes, it's still early.

Zhao Ji is only 17 years old, and she is only 19 years old. If she is not as impatient as in her previous life, they still have a long time to think of a solution.

Wei Chuyan went to his parents first.There are many new faces in the family than before she left, but the concierge is still the old one, maybe her parents are worried that she will be stopped when she returns home.

After she walked a few steps in the mansion, the housekeeper who heard the news hurriedly greeted her. This is also an old man in the family, and they brought Chang'an from Zhaoshui City.Most of those old servants were getting old, and many retired soon after they came to Chang'an. Those who had children were lucky, and there was a replacement, but there were indeed some vacancies. No wonder there were so many new faces.

"Miss, you can be regarded as coming back. The madam and the master have been in a hurry for the past six months." The shrewd butler with a goatee saw her and talked to her with a smile on his face. Pain, helplessly handed him the cloak: "Uncle Lin, why are you taking me to the backyard? Are my parents not in the house?"

If the father and mother were in the mansion, given their temperament, they should not be in the backyard.

The housekeeper, Uncle Lin, paused, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, but he smiled naively: "The madam and the master went to the store to check the accounts, and I'm afraid they will come back in a while. Miss, go change your clothes first." , use some snacks, the old slave will send someone to tell the great news to the madam and the master, presumably they will come back immediately after they know about it."

Wei Chuyan stopped by the pool, the hem of his black clothes hung vertically, showing the preciousness of the material.She is wearing the clothes that Zhao Ji ordered people to hurry out. They are made of imperial materials. There are only a lot of omissions in the patterns and many modifications in the details. People who don't know the goods will probably just pretend to be the clothes when they are worn out. It was ordinary silk and satin, but the housekeeper obviously understood it, so he persuaded Wei Chuyan to change clothes.

"No need, since they are not in the mansion, I will go to the store to find them. It just so happens that I haven't visited our family's property for a long time, and I am a little curious about the changes in them."

Although there are many shops managed by parents, they are only a very small part compared to Wei Chuyan's real property. She can't think of taking care of these few shops on weekdays. During the more than one year in southern Xinjiang, When communicating with her parents, she seldom asked about these things. Parents asked her about her situation, and it was too late for a long exhortation, and she didn't bother to talk about the shop, so she always took it hastily, so Wei Chuyan really didn't know how the shop was doing. up.

But looking at the housekeeper's reaction, I'm afraid it may not be good, because he immediately stopped her.

Wei Chuyan looked at him inquisitively, which made the old housekeeper feel a burst of pressure: "Suddenly there are many new faces in my house. Who are those people?"

The butler forced a smile: "Those are newly recruited servants. Aren't many old people left in our house? Those are all newly recruited."

Wei Chuyan said: "It's just new recruits? Whose new recruits want all the servants with kung fu background?"

The butler's pupils shrank, and Wei Chuyan knew that he had guessed very well.

"Uncle Lin, is there something wrong at home?"
