take home

The first thing Qin Jianshen did after returning to the palace was to clean up the harem.

When the first emperor was in power, the two empress dowagers and the six concubines together had no less than a thousand servants, plus the servants and maidservants of various divisions and departments in the palace, there were tens of thousands of servants in total.

Since those empress dowagers and concubines rescued from Li Zhan were willing to accompany the green lanterns, chant Buddhist scriptures and pray for the late emperor, then there is no need for these cumbersome people to stay, it is a waste of rations.

Qin Jianshen didn't like it, so he cleaned up the harem on the pretext of investigating the person who poisoned him half a year ago.

All the women became monks, and there was no need for eunuchs to exist. With the master gone, the house was vacant, and the servants were useless.

All the people who served the emperor were also sent away, leaving only a small servant.

This little maid named Si Ding, who followed Qin Jianshen since he was a child, did not live a good life, suffered a lot of bullying, but his life was very hard, and he has survived until now, and was sent away by Concubine Li some time ago After washing the horses in the hunting ground, Qin Jianshen called him back after he came back.

Si Ding became Qin Jianshen's permanent and only living creature.

There was an uproar in the court, and Xiangguo Liu Zhuo endured it for a few days. Seeing that the emperor was getting worse and worse, relying on himself as a court veteran, he ran to the imperial study and advised him in a stern tone, "The emperor's golden body cannot be missed. There should be more people around to take care of me, besides, my Jing Dynasty is a big country, how can the palace be so desolate and deserted, it is related to the royal dignity, this is not only against the ancestral system, but also difficult to build the country's prestige, Your Majesty."

Qin Jianshen was fed up with the old fox's hypocrisy, and threw the bag in his hand at Liu Zhuo's feet with a bang, his eyes were cold, and he smiled, "Xiangguo is a great talent in the world, why don't you take a good look at how to deal with these things for me?" Refugees, study what the ancestral system does all day long."

Liu Zhuo could not be more clear about what was said in the booklet. The emigration of the people is not a good sign for a capital city.

Liu Zhuo found a shameless person, knelt on the ground with a stiff body, picked up the booklet and looked at it, bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, leave this matter to the old minister, and the old minister will definitely handle it properly."

Qin Jian smiled deeply, "Then rely on Xiangguo."

Liu Zhuo saw that the emperor's expression had softened a bit, and thought he had touched the emperor's veins. He wanted to bring up the servants and servants in the palace again, but after thinking about it, he said, "Your Majesty, please listen to the old minister... ..."

Qin Jianshen nodded optional, motioning for him to continue.

"Your majesty is holy..." Liu Zhuo bowed, "As the saying goes, 'the law is the way of the universe', internal governance is the foundation of human relations. The emperor is already in the year of studying, and internal governance is prior to external governance. It is right to choose a good woman and transform her into a beautiful woman." Shiren Lun owes the Emperor Ze’s kindness, spread branches and leaves for me, and spread the descendants.”

What Liu Zhuo said was reasonable and sincere, very similar to that.

After Qin Jianshen listened, he paused for a moment when he was playing with Yuxi's fingertips, looked at Liu Zhuo who was kneeling on the ground below, his eyes were calm, and his tone was calm, "Does Xiangguo also want to extend his hand to my harem?"

The old fox, who is over half a century old, really did not expect the emperor to use such a hammer, and directly pierced the window paper that can only be understood and cannot be expressed in words. Kowtowing again and again, "Your Majesty, I beg you to learn from me, I... I have no such intention..."

Whether it is there or not, I am afraid only God knows.

Qin Jian smiled deeply, and said softly, "Xiangguo please hurry up, I just made a joke with Xiangguo, why should Xiangguo take it seriously?"

Liu Zhuo naturally knew that the emperor was not joking, and thought to himself that he had made a mistake today, that he shouldn't have come alone without preparation, and he should have said this when he went to court.

Liu Zhuo thought about it, wiped off his sweat, kowtowed and bowed out.

Facing the back view of Liu Zhuo's soft feet and hands leaning against the wall, Si Ding who was standing next to him doubled his guess and said that things might not be as complicated as Liu Xiangguo thought.

The emperor's attitude, at best, is unpredictable, but at worst, it is cloudy and sunny. He is not in a good mood, so he naturally thinks about it. If Liu Zhuo happens to come at a good time, the matter of choosing a concubine and setting up a queen Maybe Qin Jianshen agreed with a smile, got a bad nose, and was scared to death when he went back. He could only say that he was unlucky.

An Xiaojiu, who was hiding in the dark, saw that there was no one in the imperial study, so she appeared and presented the government affairs reported by Anbu.

Qin Jianshen motioned him to put it away first. Wei Junyan was handling these matters before, but since the contract between the two of them was completed, it was only natural to take back Anbu. Fang Yin was entrusted by Wei Junyan to Anxiao Jiudai here.

But since the contract has been completed, why didn't Wei Laosan come to him for a reward?

Qin Jianshen casually asked An Xiaojiu, "Is he busy recently? Is he in Lingyang Palace again?"

The conversation about whether the third son of the Wei family is busy or not has been going on for more than ten days, but An Xiaojiu has a rough nerve and always just obeys orders. He admires Qin Jianshen very much, so he didn't notice anything wrong. When he speaks, he knows everything, such as when Young Master Wei gave Master Wei his pulse, when he got up to make medicine, when he went to Lingyang Palace, and what he did with Lingyang King, everything is in detail. , Almost even Wei Junyan confessed when he went to sleep and when he came out.

Anbu usually does some shady things, and it is not uncommon to spy on individuals. Anxiaojiu's nerves have reached a certain level, and he has not noticed that the emperor's face is getting darker day by day. But he really wanted to tell this idiot who couldn't understand the situation and wink to shut up quickly, lest the emperor couldn't hold back his anger one day and bring disaster to him, the only pond fish in the palace.

As for why the emperor was in a bad mood and had to listen to these trivial things, Si Ding consciously discovered the truth.

The king of Lingyang holds a heavy army, and his position is high and powerful. Everyone in the capital is full of soldiers. They are afraid that the emperor will be suspicious, and even if they meet on the road, they have to walk around for three minutes. The third son of Wei goes to the king of Lingyang every day. Isn't this sincerely embarrassing the emperor? .

It's no wonder the master is so concerned about it.

An Xiaojiu is still in Balabala, who is still alive and kicking, "I heard the young master tell Mr. Wei that King Lingyang is in the capital, and he doesn't have any relatives or friends around him. His birthday is coming soon, and he wants to invite King Lingyang to his house. It's also very lively." lively."

Qin Jianshen was taken aback, "Whose birthday is it?"

"King Lingyang, Eleventh is King Lingyang's birthday." An Xiaojiu's eyes lit up suddenly as he spoke, and his expression jumped, "Isn't Master's birthday also eleventh? What should I do?"

Qin Jianshen waved An Xiaojiu to go down. Seeing him sitting there expressionless, Si Ding felt hairy in his heart. He looked at the sky outside and cautiously stepped forward to ask, "It's already time, master, is he still going today?" Lingyang Prince's Mansion..."

Go to Lingyang Palace, if he goes again, the rumors in the capital might not be Xiangyi. Su Yan's eyes on him are already weird enough.

Qin Jianshen also felt that he was sick, and when he saw Wei Sinian's resignation note on the case table, he felt even more depressed, and waved his hand to let Si Ding step down first.

Qin Jianshen sat alone in the imperial study for a while, finished processing the report sent by An Xiaojiu, thought about stuffing Wei Sinian's booklet into his sleeve, and took Si Ding out to pour tea. Flip out the window.

Qin Jianshen was very familiar with the route from the imperial palace to Weifu, but within half a cup of tea, he found Wei Junyan's courtyard.

Qin Jianshen saw that the candles were still on and the window was open, his heart moved, he held his breath, and slipped in through the window without a sound. Seeing Wei Junyan sitting at the table carving jade, he couldn't help grinning With a smile, he stood silently behind Wei Junyan.

He stood very close, leaving only a finger's width away, and waited with full patience, holding his breath, and couldn't help laughing secretly. When Wei Laosan stood up, he suddenly found someone behind him, so he couldn't be scared to death Yes, he was looking forward to it too much, Wei Laosan's face turned pale...

Qin Jian thought deeply about the scene, and the split corner of his mouth was filled with the mood of letting go, and he couldn't pull it back.

In fact, he didn't wait too long. Wei Junyan lowered his head to get the file, but he couldn't find it. Remembering that it was placed on the head of the bed this morning, he got up to get it, and when he turned around, he bumped into a wall. Wall of flesh.

He was already a little taller than Qin Jianshen, so his nose bumped against Qin Jianshen's hard forehead, and everyone was knocked back a step. His nose was sore and hot, and two tubes of blood immediately flowed out.

Wei Junyan stretched out his hand to wipe it, and then looked at Qin Jianshen who was standing aside awkwardly, the familiar feeling of powerlessness surged out again, and he thought that this is someone who is going to be a father, not childish.

"See Your Majesty."

Wei Jun didn't bother to say anything, he cleaned up the blood, took the file back to the table after a perfunctory sentence, and started to carve again. This is what Wei Junyan likes to do, so he is extremely focused on doing it.

Qin Jianshen knew he was wrong, but he couldn't apologize, so after standing for a while, he walked over and sat down next to Wei Junyan.

It looks like a hairpin, exquisite and delicate, and it is almost out of shape. Qin Jianshen saw that he was carving carefully, and couldn't help asking, "Why do you waste time doing this? If you like it, I will give you some." That's right."

Wei Junyan raised his eyelids and glanced at the little emperor when he heard the words, thinking that I still don't know about your family background?The only valuable thing was the gold silk nephrite body, which was still in tatters. Wei Junyan remembered, and asked, "How is the injury on your body, is it itchy?"

When he said that, Qin Jianshen really felt a little itchy, so he nodded.

The itching means that the scab is about to scab. Wei Junyan said again, "Remember to ask the imperial doctor to remove the stitches for you in the past few days. After the stitches are removed, you will be given some medicine. It will be healed within ten days."

Qin Jianshen originally wanted to tell you to take it apart, but then he thought that he would have to take off his clothes, not only to take off, but also to take off his clothes. For some reason, he shook his head and said, "There is an imperial doctor in the palace, who doesn't do anything. , Isn’t it just plain rice, what’s the use of them.”

Wei Junyan often went to Lingyang Palace recently, and he heard about some things in the palace. Hearing this theory at this time, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Even if you are really shy, your majesty You can’t make it so obvious, you just drag it if you don’t have money, if you do this, you will inevitably leave a harsh and stingy impression on the world, which is not good.”

Qin Jianshen didn't pay much attention to reputation, and was a little annoyed by Wei Junyan's words, so he quickly changed the subject, "What are you doing with the hairpin? I think you usually use it very simply. It's so fine, do you want to sell it?"

Wei Junyan wiped off the crushed jade powder with silk, and inlaid two pomegranate reds the size of rice grains on the end of the hairpin. Jun Yan said that the position is good, fix the red pomegranate, and then wipe it clean, it will be considered as a great success, "Isn't Lingyang Wang's birthday coming soon? This is a birthday gift for him. Unfortunately, there are no good materials, and it is not top-grade. Let's talk about it. It's just my mind."

What can be more thoughtful than making personal things for each other with your own hands.

Why are you so concerned about your relationship with King Lingyang?

This sentence was repeated four or five times in Qin Jianshen's stomach, and it was suppressed anyway, but it was like a stick in his throat. Qin Jianshen held back for a while, and finally choked out a few words, "...that day is also my birthday... ..."

As soon as the words came out, Qin Jianshen wanted to pull out his tongue and cut it in two, and his face couldn't help but get hot. What did he mean by this? When he said it, it was like begging for a gift from the third brother of Chaowei!

The two of them are really close, even if Wei Junyan is just an ordinary person without any internal interest, he can still hear Qin Jianshen's heartbeat, and he can't help but burst out laughing, secretly thinking that although this young man's methods are powerful, he probably How can I get along with normal people.

It is estimated that on weekdays, they are either beating or killing, either intimidating or luring. There is no normal relationship. After getting along for a long time, they have revealed their true nature. Although they are clumsy, they are more straightforward than those who deal with hypocrisy. .

The birthday of the [-]th birthday is the year when the hair is tied. In a person's life, it is very meaningful. In addition, it is the same day as Lingyang King. Lingyang King has a heart for the emperor, and he is the most clear about the birthday. Of course, I also told Wei Junyan by the way.

During the past six months of being together, he and the little emperor have advanced and retreated together, which can be regarded as some kind of friendship.

This kind of friendship, whether it is to Qin Jianshen or Wei Junyan, is obviously not very common. Even if it is not a close friend, it is really rare for Wei Junyan to be taller than a dwarf.

Wei Junyan's laughter undoubtedly added fuel to the fire for Qin Jianshen. He wondered what he was doing here tonight. I feel uncomfortable.

Wei Junyan's eyes were full of smiles, he opened the drawer of the case a few times, took out a box from it, and said to Qin Jianshen, "Come here."

After Qin Jianshen realized that he had really moved over according to his words, he secretly made up his mind that his majesty as an emperor had not been revealed this time, so he put it away for now, and must seize the opportunity to perform well in another day.

Inside the box is a set of hairpins and hoops for men’s crowns, moist and translucent mutton fat jade, and the carved dragon on the body of the hairpin that is about to fly in the air is lifelike. magnificent.

Wei Junyan stretched out his hand and pulled Qin Jianshen's hairpin and hoop, Qin Jianshen's hair scattered like a waterfall. He was staring at the hairpin in a daze, when suddenly Wei Junyan untied it He suddenly froze into a fiery statue, and his first reaction was that he hadn't had time to take a shower today, that is, he hadn't washed his hair yet!

What does it mean if you don't wash your hair? It might be greasy or smelly, but Wei Lao San is so close, he can definitely smell it...

No, no, he just washed it yesterday, so it shouldn't be very dirty today.

Even if it's dirty, Wei Junyan doesn't dare to dislike him, because he is the emperor!

The last reason is very reasonable. Qin Jianshen was appeased, and he just relaxed a little bit, but the touch on his scalp instantly made him freeze back to the original place. The crisp and numb feeling flowed from the scalp to the heart, and half of his body was numb. Unable to move at all, Qin Jian took a deep breath and stagnated, and his tongue was tied up, "You...reckless, the emperor's head...can you touch it too?"

His words said so, but his body didn't say so, and stayed very honest and motionless.

Wei Junyan smoothed his hair with his fingers, and wanted to copy it with his hands, but Qin Jianshen's hair is soft, slippery and thick, and there will always be something sticking out of his hand, so Wei Junyan had to reach out to grab it. Comb, "Don't move around, I don't know if the headband fits well. I deliberately enlarged it when I made it, so it probably won't work."
