Tyrant [Rebirth]

After that night, Chu Shaoling and Wei Ji became even more intimate, and there seemed to be a touch of charm in the bedroom of Bi Tao Yuan.

The weather was getting hotter and it was dawning early. When the two of them woke up, the housekeeper hadn't come in yet. They were leaning on the soft pillows and chatting with each other. Chu Shaoling gently rubbed Wei Ji's cheek and asked, "Does it still hurt?" ?”

Wei Ji opened his mouth and yawned, then shook his head: "There's still a little more, not too bad."

Chu Shaoling nodded: "It will be over in a few days, I will take you to the palace to escape the summer heat when you are well."

"Xinggong?" Wei Ji was stunned for a moment, "Is your Highness free from government matters?"

Chu Shaoling chuckled: "I'll be free soon." The emperor's illness is gradually getting better, and it's time to stop the medicine in a few days. At that time, Chu Shaoling doesn't need to say it himself, and the emperor will naturally no longer tolerate Chu Shaoling's continued control alone. affairs of state.

Chu Shaoling rubbed Wei Ji's head: "Go there when you recover from illness. The Qianshou Palace has a beautiful view. I lived there with the queen for a while when I was young. There are many flowers and plants planted there. You should like it."

Wei Ji nodded: "Is there anyone else? Is the Emperor going? Is the Fourth Highness going?"

Chu Shaoling chuckled: "Afraid of Chu Shaoyang? Then don't let him go."

Wei Ji smiled and said nothing, he wasn't afraid of Chu Shaoyang, it was just that he and Chu Shaoling made it very unpleasant when they met for the first time, Chu Shaoyang was Chu Shaoling's younger brother, Wei Ji was always a bit shy.

Chu Shaoling kissed Wei Ji on the head: "Don't worry, you are the most important thing in my heart." Chu Shaoyang, if it wasn't for the timing, Chu Shaoling would have done it already.

Chu Shaoling didn't want Wei Ji to think that he was cruel, even his own brothers, so he drew his attention away: "Let Wei Zhan's Xiaoqiying battalion guard him this time, miss your brother?"

Wei Ji widened his eyes when he heard the words, and nodded with a smile: "Really? I thank Your Highness on behalf of my brother." The last time I was sick at home for seven or eight days and couldn't see Wei Zhan, Wei Ji also missed his elder brother up.

Chu Shaoling reckoned that Wei Zhan had already seen something when he plowed in person last time. Since he knew that he hadn't acted like Mrs. Jiang, it seems that it is still important. Chu Shaoling didn't want to hide the matter between himself and Wei Ji. Others can't stand it if they love it, and it's best if they can stand it. If they can't stand it and want to make things difficult, Chu Shaoling naturally has a way to make them have to be pleasing to the eye.

"Your Highness, it's time." The palace maid outside the screen asked softly, "Has Your Highness got up yet?"

Hearing the female officer's voice, Wei Ji quickly pulled off his clothes and put them on. He was always embarrassed to let the palace servants serve him, so he did it himself. Chu Shaoling smiled lightly, but he didn't force it. Dress and wash.

After everything was packed, the two had breakfast together. Chu Shaoling felt sorry for Wei Ji's tooth disease and didn't let him follow him, so he allowed him to rest in the palace, and went to greet the emperor himself.

This day was the day when the family members of Jiaofang came to the palace to pay their respects. In Linzhi Palace, Concubine Li's mother Xu and eldest sister-in-law Luo came to the palace to pay their respects.

In the side hall, Mrs. Xu held Concubine Li's hand and comforted softly: "Your Majesty, relax, even though it is not as good as before, the Holy Majesty is still sympathetic to Your Majesty, and your father is also planning."

Concubine Li closed her eyes, and said harshly: "It's all my daughter's fault for not being cruel enough. I should have killed him when Queen Ling left!"

"Your Majesty, don't speak nonsense!" Xu came here with her husband's instructions, and now she sighed when she saw her daughter, "I can't say it, and I can't think so in my heart. Now that the Empress Dowager is still here, there are many things that even the Holy One is afraid of." Let alone us, empress, please relax and think about it in the long run."

Concubine Li rubbed her forehead and nodded: "Mother, don't worry, I will do my best on the Holy Majesty's side. Do you have any words for Father?"

Xu paused for a moment, then lowered his voice: "Your father asked people to inquire carefully, and now the young master of Zi Junhou's mansion has two daughters, the eldest daughter is thirteen, and the youngest daughter is eleven, and they have not settled down yet. Come on, and the young master's wife took care of these two girls very carefully. The eldest daughter is 13 years old and has never been brought out, let alone the younger one. The wives of Jiazi Junhou's family friends have seen it before, and they all say that they are pampered and pampered in the mansion, and they have been brought up by the nuns who have served Empress Ling in the palace before."

Concubine Li frowned lightly: "What is this for? Could it be that you want to send it to Lord Gong Humei?!"

Xu secretly sighed at her daughter's opacity, and slowly said: "Madam, it's not for this reason to calm down. Zi Junhou raises two granddaughters like this, and I'm afraid he wants to give it to the King of Qin."

Concubine Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and said lightly: "This is also reasonable, it is the Qin King's family, and it is reasonable to marry again."

Mrs. Xu was a little anxious: "Why doesn't your lady understand? Zi Junhou's mansion is clearly intended to educate the empress. Zi Junhou has a big heart, and this is what your father is afraid of."

Concubine Li frowned slightly: "Then what should I do? Can I not allow him to marry?"

Mrs. Xu sighed: "Your Majesty can't speak for herself. Could it be that the Holy Majesty can't speak? The King of Qin has already been crowned king, and the wedding is imminent. This matter has to be decided by the Holy Majesty. Your father wants to... let Zi Jun Houkong was overjoyed, the king of Qin did not marry his daughter, and he would not be able to run away even if he worked for the king of Qin. The child of the king of Qin has no blood from his family. It is best to let the king of Qin and Zi Junhou's house turn against each other from now on. Okay. What I mean to your father... If you don't give up, you can't get anything. Why don't you give Si girl to the King of Qin, Zhen Si is 14 years old this year, just a good age..."

"How can this be done?!" Concubine Li got up and said angrily, "Give girl Si to that poisonous snake, and he will torture her to death in a few years! Zhen Si is mother's own granddaughter, how can mother be willing?"

Concubine Li's sister-in-law, Luo Shi's eyes were red first, as her uncle meant, she dared not say anything no matter how much grievances she felt in her heart, pity that her youngest daughter was only 14 years old, and she was about to be sent to the fire pit at Prince Qin's mansion.

"Your Majesty!" Xu tried her best to keep her voice calm, and said slowly, "Is there any other choice for our Zhen family now? Si'er is the daughter of my Zhen family, and when she is dying, let alone marrying the King of Qin, just marry her." Traffickers and pawns also make it."

Luo Shi turned his face away, tears streaming down his face.

Concubine Li stared blankly at her mother and sister-in-law, then fell down on the couch and said nothing.

The conversation is divided into two parts. Here, Chu Shaoling went to Chengqian Palace to pay his respects. When he arrived, Chu Shaoruan had already arrived. Since the Zhen family lost power, Chu Shaoruan became more interested in serving the emperor. My mother and concubine have a virtue, and they will only take advantage of these women's soft tricks.

Chu Shaoling entered the pavilion to greet the emperor, but still the usual few words, the father was available last night, when did he sleep, and his spirit was much better than yesterday, etc. The emperor has long been tired of hearing these words after two months of illness Yes, waved his hand: "Ling'er has a heart, I'm much better."

"The minister can feel at ease there." Chu Shaoling was also indifferent, "Father is in good health, and the burden on the son's shoulders is also lighter. The affairs of the government still depend on the father."

These words were speaking in the emperor's heart, and the smile on the emperor's face grew a bit more: "Ling'er has made great achievements as an agent of the government in the past few months, but what do you want from me?"

While talking, Chu Shaomo and Chu Shaoyang also came, and everyone sat down after seeing the ceremony. The emperor asked what reward Chu Shaoling wanted, and Chu Shaoling smiled lightly: "Father and emperor love it, and it will be disrespectful for my son to refuse..."

Chu Shaoling thought for a while, then smiled: "The weather has gotten hotter these days, and I want to live in the Qianshou Palace for a while."

The emperor paused. The Qianshou Palace was a palace he built for Empress Ling just after his wedding. At that time, the emperor's foundation was not stable. In order to win over Zi Junhou's mansion and show his importance to supporting heroes, he spent a lot of money to build this palace. The palace, but except for the first few years of his wedding, the emperor never went there to escape the summer heat.

The emperor really didn't want to mention the Qianshou Palace. The emperor was suspicious. In the past, when Empress Ling mentioned that he was going to live in the Qianshou Palace, he would wonder if the queen was hinting at his father's achievements. He has the merits of supporting himself to contain himself, and the emperor is not very broad-minded, which is his taboo.

Chu Shaoling looked at the emperor indifferently, as if it was just a very ordinary request, the emperor smiled slightly: "The Qianshou Palace has not picked you up for a long time, and they will not serve you well when you go there, since you want to go out for a few days to relax , it’s better to change the place.”

"It's true... I haven't picked up the driver for almost decades, and it may be in disrepair." Chu Shaoling chuckled, "I'm going there even more, and I'm asking my father to take the people from the House of Internal Affairs to have a look. If there are places that need to be repaired or purchased, I will pack them up, and when my father rises up by chance one day, I won’t be disappointed if I go to the palace for a short stay.”

Before the emperor could say the words of laboring the people and wasting money, Chu Shaoling smiled and said: "The money for the construction of the palace will be paid by the ministers, which is regarded as filial piety to the father. The emperor's dragon body is safe, and the ministers should be filial."

The emperor smiled and looked at the similar cheeks of Chu Shaoling and Queen Ling. Chu Shaoling was very similar to Queen Ling, not only in appearance, but also in his superficial etiquette.

Naturally, the emperor didn't want to rebuild the Qianshou Palace. Zi Junhou had already taken the position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and he went to overhaul the former palace of Queen Ling. Didn't this make it clear to the courtiers that the Ling family would be revived?

In fact, there is no need for these, the Ling family has already recovered, and it has only been half a year. Unknowingly, the Zhongzi Junhou Mansion has gained a firm foothold in the court. What did he pursue, the title of King Qin was given to him by himself in order to keep the Zhen family, Chu Shaoling has never paid much attention to his position, but worked tirelessly to seek power and profit for the Ling family.

Indeed, it is too eye-catching to seek power for oneself recklessly. No matter how high a prince climbs, a charge of wooing courtiers and forming a party for personal gain can push him down from the clouds. It's a non-obtrusive approach, after all, as long as there are no accidents, my family will definitely support me unconditionally, but this is not like something that a young prince who is young and energetic and eager for quick success will do.

The emperor looked at Chu Shaoling's smiling phoenix eyes and felt a little puzzled. When did Chu Shaoling become so preoccupied?Or just thinking too much?Chu Shaoling is not talented, even if he doesn't want to admit it, when the emperor thought he was himself, he wouldn't climb up steadily like this.

The emperor was dubious in his heart, but there was an obvious benefit in front of him. Letting Chu Shaoling go to the palace meant that he would stay away from the government. The palace, just go, the emperor doesn't believe that Chu Shaoling really thinks so well, he is not old yet, and he is still afraid that his son will fail?

The emperor smiled, shook his head and sighed: "I know Ling'er's filial piety, where can I use your money, go and talk to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it's up to you to repair it however you want, it's hard for you to be tired these few months. "

Chu Shaoling thanked him with a smile: "I will make careful arrangements according to my father's preferences, and I look forward to when my father will visit."

If Chu Shaoling dared to ask for it, he knew that the emperor would give it to him. He knew that the emperor would be suspicious of him, so what, he had never been favored by the emperor, so he was not afraid of annoying him.

Chu Shaoyang listened to the words for a while, and couldn't help interjecting with a smile: "Father is kind, the most unbearable thing to ask for, this time he is partial to elder brother, and I also want to accompany elder brother to live in the palace for a while."

Because of the Great Seal, Chu Shaoyang offended Chu Shaoling and angered the emperor. Now life is very difficult. Chu Shaoyang can see clearly that the most important thing now is to repair the relationship between himself and his elder brother. Without Chu Shaoling's protection, he will not go smoothly in the palace. .

The emperor glanced at Chu Shaoyang, and reprimanded: "Nonsense, your elder brother is no longer going to the Xinxin Academy, so why don't you go too?! You can't do your homework well, and you are ahead of your time when it comes to playing!" Ling It is not what the emperor likes to see the two sons left behind by the empress huddled together. With the addition of the two sons of Zi Junhou, is it going to turn the world upside down?This time Chu Shaoling and Chu Shaoyang's brothers turned their backs, and the emperor also pushed him, so naturally they can't agree now.

Chu Shaoyang didn't think that flattery would fail, but he was scolded, so he dared not speak.

Chu Shaomo has never been favored, and there is nothing in his heart. Only Chu Shaoruan watched Chu Shaoling want the wind and the rain, and secretly buried his anger in his heart.

Chu Shaoling glanced at everyone, sneered in his heart, and soon knelt down on the grounds of going to Ci'an Hall to pay respects to the Queen Mother.
