Long Xiao wipes Qingfeng

Emperor Longde in the palace was indeed in a state of desperation. Not long after Concubine Shen Gui gave birth, he wanted to accompany him often, but when the incident in Linye happened, a group of officials in Linye were dismissed, exiled, and the family members mentioned in Jiang Yanzhao's memorial. The Minister of the Ministry, Liu Yu, and the testimony of Shen Yu's people who came along with the memorial, described Liu Yu and Xiang Zhu as a complete circle. Xiang Zhu had already subdued, and only Liu Yu was left.

The household department is the most important place, even if he wants to be lazy, he can't do it. The year is approaching, and he has to deal with Liu Zhen before the six departments are closed.

What's more terrible is that the Ninth Prince seems to be in poor health due to premature birth. Emperor Longde is not young. Over the years, he has had nine sons, but only two survived, and the Ninth Prince is he and Shen Guifei. His beloved son is naturally different from other princes.

Emperor Longde felt upset, so he casually typed back Xiao Gong's request for concubine concubine for his concubine Yu, and just sent it back, but the veteran beside him said: "Speaking of it, the third prince is not young, but he can do it for you." Your Majesty is relieved."

Emperor Longde covered the hand stove, glanced at the old minister, and said: "Just eighteen, not very stable, wait another two years."

The veteran said in a calm manner: "It's okay to practice first. There are some things that are inconvenient for His Majesty to come forward, so the third prince can talk."

He had a lot of meaning, but he reminded Emperor Longde of the matter of the Ministry of Household Affairs, which may have involved a lot, if it was handed over to the third prince, the name would be nice, and he would be able to give himself a virtuous name.

The third prince is eager to practice, so he must not know how to measure properly. If he makes a mistake at that time, he will be fined. He has just entered the court, and he doesn't know how deep he is, so he can be of great help.

Emperor Longde said: "Ai Qing is right."

The old minister said: "Why don't your Majesty first investigate the matter of the Minister of the Household Department's embezzlement of money and colluding with officials a year ago, and then hand it over to the Third Prince to investigate and deal with the Household Department after a year?"

Emperor Longde said: "That's right, the cabinet will draw up an order first, and let him formally enter the court next year."

"Your Majesty Shengming."

The matter of Xiao Gong's entry into the imperial court was settled in this way, and the news was quickly handed over to Song Yan.

It happened that Songyan was going to visit Chang Guiren with Xiao Gong.

Often noble people are not taken seriously, and the eyes and ears in the palace are limited, so it is a good place to talk.

A few days ago, the ordinary nobleman suffered from burns at the root, and his face became rosier after resting in bed for a few days. Songyan was young and had a good foundation, and after he recovered, he often came to accompany Changguiren.

The two talked and worked as female workers, and after getting along for a long time, Chang Guiren liked his son's "bedside person" more and more, and the more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became.

Concubine Shen had just given birth to her son, so she didn't care so much about Xiao Gong, so Xiao Gong was much more free than before. Although there were rumors in and out of the palace, he was only happy because he could often visit the nobleman.

On this day, Xiao Gong was talking with Mr. Chang Gui in the house, Song Yan brought tea in, and accidentally spilled a full cup on Xiao Gong, she immediately knelt down to plead guilty, "Your Majesty, please punish me for my mistake."

Xiao Gong stretched out his hand to pull her up, and said: "It's okay, just accompany me to change it, it's not a big deal." He said, glanced at Chang Guiren, and went to the side hall with Song Yan.

Song Yan made sure that no one was coming from outside, so she closed the door of the side hall. Xiao Gong took off her drenched robe and said, "Does your knee hurt?"

Song Yan was stunned for a moment, and after realizing it, he said, "It doesn't hurt."

Xiao Gong sighed, "Don't you have anything else to say to me?"

Song Yan said: "This servant has something to say to His Highness. There is news from the cabinet that His Highness will enter the court in the next year to deal with Liu Yu's mess. Shen Yu probably already knows about it. During this period, His Highness must pay attention to his own safety."

Xiao Gong said seriously: "Okay, I'll make a note." Then he said: "Don't kneel casually in the future, at least in front of me, you will never have to kneel."

Song Yan didn't take his words to heart, the people in the palace were moody, and no one's words could be trusted, so she must not make mistakes.

Seeing Songyan nodding her head, Xiao Gong thought she knew, so she changed into a robe that was always kept in Chang Guiren's palace, and said: "Okay, let's go, don't make mother wait."

Song Yan knelt down and waited for him to go out, then followed him and went back to Chang Guiren's house.

Chang Guiren was smiling and waiting for them leaning on the pillow, when he saw Song Yan coming in, he took her hand and jokingly said: "It's been so long, but Gong'er bullied you?"

Song Yan respectfully replied: "Your Highness treats the slaves very well, and never bullied the slaves."

Chang Guiren frowned and said: "This child has always been so polite."

Song Yan said: "Slaves should."

Chang Guiren turned his head to look at Xiao Gong, and said, "Didn't you say a few days ago that you were invited to be a side concubine? How will your majesty reply?"

Xiao Gong glanced at Songyan, as if feeling ashamed, "I just sent it back before I came, so I won't allow it."

Song Yan was secretly startled, she would be included in the royal family tree if she became a side concubine, and it would be difficult for Xiao Jiu to take her out of the palace. Fortunately, the emperor refuted it, and became vigilant again, silently thinking whether it was Xiao Gong's own. Means to keep her.

Chang Guiren said regretfully: "It's a pity, Qi'er's background is also worthy of the position of side concubine, and it's a grievance to be a concubine." He comforted Songyan: "It's okay, child, wait for a while before letting me go. Gong'er's last one is right, you don't have to worry about it."

Song Yan bowed his head and said: "You don't have to worry about it, as long as your slaves can serve His Highness, you will be lucky for three lives. I dare not ask for more." Chang Guiren was about to say something, but was interrupted by Xiao Gong, who laughed Smiling, said: "That's fine, you don't have to go to Jingyang Palace to pay your respects."

Hearing that there was something in his words, Mr. Chang lowered his voice and said, "But what's wrong with that one, and you're venting your anger on the subordinate again?"

Xiao Gong said: "It's the Ninth Prince. He was born with weak bones. The imperial doctor said that he is easy to die early."

Chang Guiren lowered his voice: "Didn't you say that you are just a little weak? How could it be so serious?"

Xiao Gong said: "Such things naturally have to be kept secret. I also overheard some of them over the past two days when I went to pay my respects. Therefore, Concubine Shen Guifei has become more and more bad-tempered in the past two days. None of the concubines who went to pay her respects will not be punished."

Chang Guiren also suffered a lot in robbing Concubine Shen for his son in the early years. Knowing how powerful she is, he tightened his hands tightly: "That's not okay. I have to pay my respects every day for taking the title of side concubine. Let's go first." During this period of time, let's wait until the Ninth Prince has a clear understanding, it's really scary."

Xiao Gong nodded and said, "What mother said is true."

Chang Guiren looked at Song Yan and smiled comfortingly, Song Yan also smiled back, silently remembering the matter of the Ninth Prince's body in his heart.

The fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month.

Sitting at home, Xiao Jiu, who was thinking about what to eat every day, received news from the capital.

After becoming an admiral, Zhong Shuo was busy rebuilding the system and training troops in the army. He would be too busy tomorrow, and he returned to the mansion only when it was time to light the lanterns today.

Xiao Jiu came out of the kitchen and met Zhong Shuo who was coming home.

Zhong Shuo: "...", no wonder the food in the past two days is not very delicious, and the shape is not very good-looking.

Xiao Jiu asked unexpectedly, "Why is it so early today?"

Zhong Shuo took Xiao Jiu's hand and brought him back to the warm room.

Ever since Zhong Shuo kissed Xiao Jiu forcefully that night, there was no barrier between the two of them, and they had no scruples about arguing. Except that they didn't talk about it, everything else was the same as that of an ordinary couple.

Zhong Shuo said: "There are few things today, so I came back first, the kitchen is full of oily smoke, why is your highness cooking?"

Xiao Jiu smiled and said, "I don't have anything else to do, so I want to try cooking. How about it, did the food for the past two days suit your appetite?"

Zhong Shuo said directly: "I feel that the food for the past two days is particularly delicious, but it's hard work. Your Highness can do it occasionally, and you don't have to do it every day." Otherwise, what would you do with so many cooks...

Xiao Jiu was praised by him, and he couldn't listen to any advice, and said: "It's nothing, as long as you like it, I will make it for you every day."

Zhong Shuo tried to stop him again, "It's just that I'm flustered, and it's easy to get hurt if I'm not careful, and my heart hurts if your Highness gets hurt."

Xiao Jiu was very moved, "Don't worry, Bei Ning, I will be careful."

Zhong Shuo said helplessly, "Okay, then be careful, Your Highness, and don't get tired."

Xiao Jiu waved his hand and said, "Nothing."

Zhong Shuo was secretly relieved that it was a good thing that he had just been promoted to admiral, and his salary was increased, so he could squander the money, and Xiao Jiu grew up in the palace, so being willing to cook for him was a blessing he had cultivated in three lifetimes. should be cherished.

Under his gentle gaze, Xiao Jiu called people to set up the meal, looking at the strange dishes on the table, it seemed to be different from the previous two days.

Seeing his doubts, Xiao Jiu said, "I imitated Yangzhou's dishes today. How about you try it?"

Zhong Shuo held onto his chopsticks without changing his face, "the blessings cultivated in three lifetimes", after a taste, it turned out to be really good!

Is it because I like him so much?Even the food is delicious?

He took another piece and tasted it, yes!

It's really delicious, although the shape is a bit weird.

Xiao Jiu stood next to him with sparkling eyes, with the Daphne Flower on his hair, and asked expectantly, "How? How?"

Zhong Shuo smiled and said sincerely: "It's delicious, thank you Your Highness."

Xiao Jiu took a sip himself and said, "It's much better than yesterday."

Zhong Shuo lightly shook his hand, "Your Majesty, I will never repay you for your hard work."

Xiao Jiu smiled and kissed his side cheek, leaving a reddish lip mark, and said: "Then be loyal to your Highness for the rest of your life."

"Okay, I will be loyal to His Highness for the rest of my life."

Xiao Jiu helped him wipe off the lip marks on his cheeks, and the two sat together to eat.

After the meal, Xiao Jiu said, "News from Beijing."

Zhong Shuo understood, and the two entered the inner room. Xiao Jiu sat in front of the dressing table, and Zhong Shuo helped him remove the hairpin earrings and comb his hair.

Xiao Jiu said: "The people in the palace and Song Yan heard the news that the Ninth Prince's health is not good, and it may not be easy to keep him."

Zhong Shuo said: "Does Your Highness know if the Ninth Prince belongs to His Majesty?"

Xiao Jiu was playing with an osmanthus hairpin in his hand, and said: "No, Shen Guifei gave birth to a girl, and she was sent to Shen Yu's residence overnight, and now she is Shen Yu's daughter."

Zhong Shuo combed his knotted hair carefully, and said, "This is easy to handle, but how do we let His Majesty know about it?"
