The identity of the direct son - Xu I's prosperous world

Three years later.

In the 12th year of Zhaoyuan, at the end of August.

The end of August is the season when osmanthus seeds are fragrant, and it was at this time that Ji Heng left the capital.

That morning, the emperor walked from the Palace of Qinzheng to the turret in the southeast of the palace, climbed to the top floor, and stood there overlooking the wide moat. Outside the wide moat of the imperial city, there were row upon row of houses in the capital, stretching out continuously. It seemed to be going to the end of the sky, but even so, he couldn't see where Ji Heng was.

He didn't go to send Ji Heng off, and Ji Heng didn't ask anyone to send him off, but Xu Shi and Xu Qilang sent him to Tongzhou Wharf to board the boat, and he boarded the boat and left.

Xu Qilang was reluctant to part with Ji Heng, and Ji Heng also made an appointment with him for three years, so that Xu Qilang must achieve something in the autumn three years later.

Ji Heng took his maid, wife, servant, Shutong, and several stewards to Jiangnan.

Zhao Zhili also got up early that morning, practiced the sword for a while, then changed his clothes, went to the stable to lead the horse, and rode the horse to the pier. He sat on the horse and watched Ji Heng being surrounded by him from a distance. Once in the boat, he turned his horse's head and left.

Ji Heng said that there is no need to send him off, and he will not be so hypocritical that he must send him off. Life and death are both uncomfortable things, so that no one will send him off, but it will be much easier.

The emperor was dealing with government affairs in the Palace of Qinzheng. In the past few years, he has not been idle, not only not idle, but also busy and tired. It seems that his mind has never been relaxed at all times.

The position of the emperor is a job of conscience. The emperors of all dynasties have worked diligently and personally, and some have thought hard about fighting ministers. There are also those who wantonly want to make themselves happy... It all depends on the emperor himself. How to do it.

But Yang Qinxian obviously didn't think about the fact that the emperor's job is a job of conscience.

Since he ascended the throne, he has tried his best to secure the position of emperor and save his life.

Although the throne is a little more secure now, there are still many problems before him, so he is always busy.

Being busy also has its benefits. When you are busy, you don't have so much time to think about Ji Heng.

Ji Heng left without any regrets, because the three-year period was agreed upon, so the emperor kept counting the time all the time, hoping that the three years would pass faster.

I don't know if it's because it was the love of his youth, and it was his first love, so the emperor couldn't help himself. In his eyes, no one is better than Ji Heng. There seems to be nothing about Ji Heng that he doesn't like.

As for Ji Heng, although he said the three-year period, what he thought was that the emperor will definitely have many beauties by his side during these three years. He will not be attached to himself when he has seen and learned a lot. I don't let go.

Ji Heng liked the emperor, and he respected him lovingly, but he was very afraid that he would tell him about his love and his heart.

In the past three years, Ji Heng also wrote letters to the emperor from time to time. Ji Heng has the memory of his previous life, so he is very forward-looking about the introduction of crops. He made a promise to the emperor that he would send someone to inspect the introduction of crops. It was done, and many reports were written.

Therefore, almost every month the emperor would receive a report like Ji Heng's. This report can be said to be a comprehensive explanation of several crops, and it is accompanied by many paintings by Ji Heng, and then sent to Beijing together with the real objects. , and it will contain the planting methods of these crops, suitable places for planting, yield, eating methods, etc.

Incidentally, Ji Heng would ask a few questions about the emperor's physical condition, and nothing else.

Every time the emperor asked someone to copy this report, and then sent the copy to the Ministry of Household Affairs. He kept it for himself, and even the real objects including crops, the emperor would also be interested in viewing them, because he felt that Ji Heng would definitely I have observed it in this way, and even touched it.

Liu Sheng's voice sounded, "Your Majesty, the Guibang from Jiangsu has arrived, and the representative of the Ministry of Rites is waiting outside, so you must announce him in immediately."

The emperor was licking the ink with a brush. Hearing this sentence, the brush in his hand shook, and a drop of ink dripped out of the inkstone.

The emperor said, "Show him in."

Liu Sheng responded and went out. Dai Sulan, the Minister of Rituals, walked in quickly and silently, knelt down and saluted. The emperor said, "Be flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." After Dai Sulan got up, he said respectfully, "I wanted to wait for the autumn lists from several places to be delivered before sending them to the Emperor for review, but the Emperor had ordered before that the ones from Jiangsu should be delivered as soon as possible. So I made my own decision, and when the ones from Jiangsu arrived, I hurriedly sent them over."

The emperor gave a faint "hmm" with the same expression, and Dai Sulan didn't know whether the emperor was happy or not.

He presented the list in his hand, and the emperor opened it, and immediately smiled, it was a really happy smile, and now the Lord Dai knew that he had done the right thing.

Then he continued, "Jiangsu Jieyuan is the elder son of Ji Ge this time. This Ji Heng, who won the [-]th middle school, is not the youngest candidate, but he is also a young talent. He is very outstanding. Back then, Ji Ge He was also in his early twenties and won the Jinshi, ranking among the top two, Ji Heng is a tiger father without a son, and he wants to be better than blue."

The emperor liked to hear people praise Ji Heng, so he said, "He really lived up to my expectations."

The emperor gently stroked Ji Heng's name on the list with his finger, looked at it for a while, smiled for a while, and then restrained the expression on his face, and his face became serious again, and scanned the other people on the list.

Said, "But sent their answer sheets up?"

The Lord Dai said, "I'm transcribing it, and I'll send it to the emperor for review when it's finished."

In fact, where does the emperor have time to read this kind of answer sheet, but he is really concerned about Ji Heng, as long as it is about him, the emperor can be interested, and said, "Send me all the Jieyuan scrolls from all provinces for my review. Now that Jiangsu's has been delivered, let's bring Ji Heng's first and send the original volume."

Lord Dai respectfully agreed, and said, "Master Ji probably already knew about the fact that the eldest son won Xie Yuan in one fell swoop. When I saw him, I saw that his brows were full of color."

The emperor raised his eyes to look at him one more time, and said, "Ji Heng, as my companion, wins Jieyuan like this, even if it is me, it is an honor, let alone his father."

The Dai lord answered yes again and again, and then he withdrew.

Soon the Lord Dai sent Ji Heng's original answer sheet. Ji Heng's words were sprinkled on the paper, and it was completed overnight, without any delay, and without any additions or changes. It was extremely smooth from beginning to end. The emperor saw him It's like someone who saw him, read the paper from beginning to end, and then from end to beginning, read it two or three times, and remembered everything in his heart.

He looked out the window again, thinking, "You're looking forward to seeing me as much as I'm looking forward to seeing you."

Looking at the test paper again, I thought, "In three years, you should have grown up. What did you look like, but you have grown a lot taller, and have you completely lost your youthful appearance?"

The emperor was stunned for a while, called Liu Sheng again, and said, "Let someone go to Xuan Ji nobleman to come, just to accompany me for lunch."

After Liu Sheng agreed, he went out to let the little eunuch Xuan Ji nobleman go.

Ji Guiren is Ji Heng's third sister, Ji Qingying, the third mother of the Ji family.

In the draft in the tenth year of Zhaoyuan, although Ji Sanniang was already old, she was considered older among the draftees, but the emperor picked her after one glance at her.

In the draft that year, there were several other people who joined the palace. Among them, Xu Li, the granddaughter of Duke Ping's Xu family, was the most popular. San Niang is dignified and beautiful, but she is young, cute and cute. She is a little lively, but not too much. She is very popular with the emperor who has been in the dull palace. Ever since she entered the palace, the emperor has treated her Not to mention that she was named a concubine soon. Now, she is the only concubine who is pregnant in the harem and the emperor's first child. It can be said that she is the envy of others.

Concubine Xu was very imposing, and Concubine Xu was naturally very happy, as if she was about to overwhelm the empress dowager and empress.

In the women's harem, although Ji Sanniang came from a low family background, she was only a concubine, but because of her gentleness and generosity, she was also valued by the emperor. She is also quite eye-catching.

No one can offend Ji Sanniang, because Mrs. Ji was safe in the previous court, so her life in the harem is not difficult. Although Ji Sanniang is a well-rounded character, there are also people who have better friendships, such as younger ones. Concubine Xu.

Concubine Xu is pregnant now, but she is only 17 years old, three or four years younger than Ji Sanniang, so she usually calls Ji Sanniang her sister in private, and she looks a little dependent on her.

When the emperor's former eunuch went to preach Ji Guiren, Ji Guiren was in the main hall of Concubine Xu's Duanyang Palace. Because of the good relationship between Ji Guiren and Xu Concubine, the emperor let Ji Guiren also live in Qiongying, the side hall of Duanyang Palace. temple.

Because she is pregnant, Concubine Xu loves to eat, and she can eat by herself at this time, so she gained some weight. She used to have an oval face, but now she has a round face. She sat in a chair and talked to Ji Guiren, saying , "Recently, the baby is very active and kicks me from time to time, and sometimes he can't sleep comfortably."

Ji Guiren comforted her and said, "This is His Highness who is lively. It is good that His Highness is lively. He must be a prince after birth."

Concubine Xu said, "The last time my mother came, she said that the lively one is more likely to be the princess, but it's fine to have anything, anyway, I'm still young."

Ji Guiren said with a smile, "Yes."

Concubine Xu looked at Ji Guiren again, and asked, "Sister, you have to work harder, isn't the emperor always looking for you recently, you should hurry up and conceive a child."

Ji Guiren still smiled and said, "It depends on the blessing, I don't have that blessing yet."

Concubine Xu covered her mouth and said with a sneer, "Sister, you are very kind. The emperor values ​​you and often favors you. It is only a matter of time before you get pregnant. The one in Zhaoming Palace, the emperor does not even have a baby on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year. If you don’t want to go and take a look, it’s impossible to conceive. I heard that her family found a prescription for easy conception outside the palace, but the emperor didn’t sprinkle dragon essence, so it’s useless to have a prescription .”

Ji Guiren said softly, "The Queen's temper has been very bad recently. She went to pay her respects this morning, and she was so stern again. The palace people around her made a little noise when they put teacups. Drag it out and hit the board."

Concubine Xu said, "She must have taken too much medicine."

After finishing speaking, I thought it was a very funny joke, so I laughed again.

Ji Guiren didn't say anything, and there was a little sadness between her brows. The emperor did call her from time to time, but he always sat and chatted, and didn't leave seeds on her body. It's not so difficult for her to conceive a child. , but this can't be said to others, it can only be swallowed by oneself, so she doesn't laugh at the queen.

Concubine Xu was smiling when her personal female officer said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Xiao An'er who is next to the Emperor is here, and I told you to come over, Your Majesty."

Ji Guiren bid farewell to Concubine Xu, went back to tidy up, and took two maidservants with Lin An to Qinzheng Hall.
