Tang Fengzhi Chengqian

Chapter 39 When Cuju Begins

Hongyu hurriedly walked towards the small kitchen in the back hall, seeing Zhu'er was preparing, she hurriedly said, "Zhu'er, don't do it."

Zhu'er raised her head in doubt, "Sister Hongyu, what's wrong?"

Hongyu rubbed her forehead, feeling a little headache, "The emperor is here."

Zhu'er let out a cry, "Sister Hongyu, didn't you say that the emperor is..."

Hongyu stroked her forehead, helplessly, "You would never have thought that the emperor would come, would you?" But his heart was like a mirror, the emperor must have known from Li Fu that His Highness was in a bad mood, so he hurried over, then, what His Highness King Wei said So, does the emperor know a little bit?

Hongyu had a helpless expression on her face, but she sneered triumphantly in her heart, hum, do you think their highness is easy to bully?

In the front hall, Emperor Taizong was still sitting cross-legged by the chessboard, guiding each chess move in a low voice.

Although Chengqian has often played chess with Emperor Taizong in recent years, he has never known such specific and detailed chess moves.The more he listened to Emperor Taizong's instructions every step of the way, the more he admired Chengqian.

Staring at the focused and steady handsome face, Cheng Qian's eyes are bright, the father is the father!Sure enough, every step is full of profound meaning!The rings are intertwined, step by step, and the overall situation is under control without leaving a trace.

Seeing that Cheng Qian did not respond, Emperor Taizong raised his head, saw Cheng Qian's bright eyes, and couldn't help raising his eyebrows, "What? Are you fascinated by your father?"

Cheng Qian came back to his senses and touched his nose. Although he was very embarrassed, he still admitted honestly, "Father, you are really amazing!"

Emperor Taizong smiled lowly, suddenly reached out to hug Chengqian and sat on his lap, bowed his head and kissed Chengqian on the forehead.

It sounds nice, he has heard many flattering words, but Ru Gan'er has never said something that makes him so heartfelt and proud.Although this sentence is not a beautiful word.It's just an ordinary compliment. Sure enough, it depends on who said it?

Chengqian is already used to this kind of intimacy from time to time, and the uneasiness has long since dissipated unconsciously, and now he even likes his father's intimacy with him very much.

So, when his father kissed his forehead and looked up at him with a smile, he smiled softly at his father.

And in an instant, this shallow and soft smile almost took Emperor Taizong's breath away in an instant.

Until a gentle call, "Your Majesty! Do you!"

Cheng Qian turned his head and saw Empress Changsun standing at the entrance of the front hall with a gentle smile, so she grinned, "Mother Empress!"

But Emperor Taizong subconsciously tightened Chengqian's waist, but then let go, and a hearty smile appeared on his face, "It's Guanyin's maidservant."

Empress Changsun came for a while, and when she first came in, she saw the emperor kissing Gan'er on the forehead, and a strange feeling flashed in her heart again, and then, she saw Gan'er smiling at the emperor, and then...

The emperor's momentary sluggishness...

Subconsciously, she called out.The weird feeling in my heart deepened.It seems that it can no longer be passed in a flash.

Empress Changsun walked to the side of the chessboard, sat down too, smiled at Emperor Taizong, and said softly, "When I came over, I saw that Concubine Yin seemed to be very sad in the Imperial Garden. I want to present a little thing to the emperor, and I have made an appointment with the emperor, but I didn’t expect the emperor to miss the appointment." After finishing speaking, he blamed, "Your majesty, how can you do this?"

Emperor Taizong seemed to have just remembered it suddenly, slapped his head, and said angrily, "Look at me! I forgot! Haha, I'll go right away!" After finishing speaking, he lowered his head and smiled at Cheng Qian, "Ganer, Emperor Father can't I have dinner with you, let your mother accompany you."

Chengqian was a little disappointed, but he had a cute smile on his face, "Well, Gan'er knows. Gan'er sent Father Emperor respectfully."

And Emperor Taizong seemed to be very anxious, carefully placed Qian'er on the cushion, then got up and waved away.

Cheng Qian watched Emperor Taizong leave until he was out of sight, then slowly looked away, and as soon as he looked away, he was startled when he saw Empress Changsun's serious face, "Queen Mother, what's wrong?"

Empress Changsun stared fixedly at Cheng Qian, and after a long while, she slowly smiled, "I was looking at my son, and in a blink of an eye, he was twelve..." As she spoke, she slowly stretched out her hand to caress Cheng Qian's cheeks. Face.

Cheng Qian was a little confused, and gently grabbed the hand of Empress Zhangsun on her cheek, and asked softly, "Queen Mother, what's the matter? But... what did Gan'er do wrong?"

Chengqian is very worried.Can't he really do something wrong?His mother's tone made him very uneasy...

Empress Changsun withdrew her hand, tapped Chengqian on the head, and said helplessly, "If you can do something wrong, the queen mother is really relieved. But you, these years, everything has been done so well..."

"Mother's queen..." Cheng Qian couldn't laugh or cry, it's not right for him to do things well.

"Your father spoils you too much!" Empress Changsun half complained and half seriously said.

Chengqian was a little speechless. If the emperor wanted to pamper him, he couldn't do anything about it.

Empress Changsun lingered with that weird feeling, she just felt that the emperor shouldn't love Cheng Qian so much, but seeing Cheng Qian's innocent face, she couldn't say anything, she could only sigh softly, "Ganer, you Look, that kid Qing Que just said some childish things, your father hurried over to comfort you, he even forgot the appointment with Concubine Yin, if Concubine Yin finds out about this, I won’t be able to hate you again .”

Cheng Qian frowned, feeling a bit blocked in his heart, "Mother, the son didn't say anything about Qingque, and I don't know how the father knew! Even the mother, I don't know how you know?!"

Empress Changsun froze, seeing Chengqian frowning, she gave a wry smile, "Gan'er, the empress knows that you are not a spoiled and proud child, the empress does not mean to blame you, but your father..."

Cheng Qian took a deep breath before slowly opening his mouth, "Mother, the son knows that the mother is worried, but, the mother, the father wants to spoil the son, and the son can't help it." Cheng Qian felt aggrieved at the end, "Or, son Self-pollution?"

Empress Changsun stared and said angrily, "What are you talking about, kid?!"

Chengqian pretended to sigh, "Then what about the queen mother, what should I do with my son? You are worried that the emperor loves his son, and Qingque is jealous. To be honest, the empress mother, the son has always hoped that the emperor will not come to Qihui Palace. As soon as the father comes to Qihui Palace, the son's right and wrong will come!"

Empress Changsun's heart froze. What Gan'er said made sense. In fact, she was the one who demanded money from him. In the past few years, Gan'er has never been proud of being favored, nor has he used it for profit. On the contrary, he has kept a low profile. Qingque's waywardness has also endured again and again.Why.

"Okay, Queen Mother knows that you have been wronged." Empress Changsun patted Cheng Qian's hand, which was resting on the chessboard and playing with chess pieces, and said softly.

"Mother..." Now that I have said it, Cheng Qian didn't want to avoid it anymore, so he turned his head, looked at the eldest grandson empress, and said seriously, "Since the mother knows what Qingque said, then the mother, the son dares, this Cuju competition, The son will not be merciful to Qing Que, and I ask the queen mother not to participate in it, no matter what the final result is, the mother queen, please watch from the sidelines, okay?"

Empress Changsun was taken aback for a moment, she stared at Cheng Qian's face for a while, and then asked hesitantly, "Ganer, what are you—"

Cheng Qian just smiled slightly, "Queen Mother, Qing Que wants to be the best son of Emperor Father, and the son also wants to!"

Empress Changsun frowned and wanted to say something, but looking at Cheng Qian's firm but clear eyes, thinking of her other son Qing Que who was equally firm but muddy and fanatical..., she fell silent for a while, nodded slightly, Patted Chengqian's head, "Ganer, do what you want."

Chengqian showed a gentle and faint smile, "Thank you, Empress."

***************

When Hongyu walked into the front hall carrying the dinner from the imperial dining room, she couldn't help being taken aback when she saw Empress Changsun.Why is the empress here?Why no one notified it?

So, he hurriedly put down his dinner and knelt down to plead guilty, "Your maidservant deserves to die, I didn't know your mother was coming, and I couldn't meet you far away, please forgive me!"

Followed by Pearl hastily knelt down to plead guilty.

Empress Changsun smiled gently, "Okay, everyone get up. I'm the one who didn't let Xiao Yinzi say anything."

After both Hongyu and Zhu'er got up, they presented the imperial meal again, and when they saw the jade flower cake, Cheng Qian was taken aback, Empress Changsun suddenly looked at Cheng Qian, and smiled jokingly, "Qian'er, now you should know who it is Did you tell your father?"

Li Fu...

Chengqian frowned, his cold eyes swept over Hongyu who knelt on the ground silently, stared for a long time, and then said coldly, "Hongyu, I know you are loyal, but today, in front of the queen mother, you Listen well, I don't need a big palace lady with a bad mouth, from now on, without my instruction, anyone who dares to reveal half a word about the Qihui Palace will get out of the Qihui Palace!"

Hongyu was silent for a while, then kowtowed slowly, answering in a low voice.

Empress Changsun also smiled lightly and said, "Gan'er, you don't need to say anything about Xiao Yinzi. He belongs to the queen mother, and the queen mother must know how you are, so you don't need to say more about these things."

Chengqian was helpless.

After finishing dinner and watching Chengqian getting ready for bed, Empress Changsun left, and when she left, Empress Changsun called Hongyu.

Standing by the side door of the front hall of Qihui Hall, Ling Fengye guards, and warns if anyone approaches.

Then he said softly to Hongyu, "I'm not in a good mood today because I said something about the emperor, Hongyu, you have been wronged."

Hongyu lowered her head and said in a low voice, "No, His Highness is punishing you. Slaves shouldn't leak Qihui palace affairs in private."

Empress Changsun shook her head slightly, "Is it the king's soil in the whole world? Even a brick or a piece of soil in this palace belongs to the emperor. If you tell the emperor about the Qihui Palace, it is not considered a private leak. It's just that Hongyu , I know that you want to seek blessings for His Highness, but do you know that some blessings are too great to become disasters instead?" Empress Changsun said meaningfully.

Hongyu was startled, and subconsciously raised her head to look at Empress Changsun, only to see Empress Changsun's meaningful eyes.Can't help but take half a step back, seeking blessings?Indeed, she was selfish, thinking that His Highness would continue to receive the Emperor's favor, and that she could consolidate the Emperor's special favor for Qihui Palace...

"Hongyu, you are a smart person. If you have more words, I won't say too much. You should think about it yourself." After the Empress Changsun finished speaking, she turned around and left.

For a smart person like Hongyu, it would be useless to talk too much.

**********

After Emperor Taizong left Qihui Hall, he withdrew the smile on his face and hurried away with a gloomy expression.

After Li Fu checked his words, he chose to lower his eyebrows and follow his eyes silently.

If the emperor is in a bad mood, those attendants will be the first to suffer.Over the years, most of the emperor's moods were very good.If there is a bad time, just find a reason and invite the emperor to the Qihui Hall. After a while, the emperor will smile, or invite His Royal Highness King Zhongshan to the Qihui Hall?Of course, His Highness has limited mobility, so this number of times is still relatively small, but the effect will be better.

For example, last time, Lord Wei provoked the emperor again.The emperor also punished Mr. Wei in a fit of anger.

This is better, His Highness came without him racking his brains.In a few words, the emperor's anger was dispelled.

However, this time...

Eunuch Li Fu secretly glanced back at the Qihui Hall, which was already far away, and felt a throbbing pain in his stomach. Since the emperor has left from the Qihui Hall, he will not go back, right?

When Emperor Taizong came to the imperial garden, his gloomy face suddenly disappeared, and a hearty smile hung on his face again.

Eunuch Li Fu's stomach hurts even more after seeing it!

After following the emperor for many years, Li Fu knew that the emperor was acting. If the emperor even started to cover up his bad mood and didn't want others to see it, it meant that the emperor's mood was extremely bad!

Coming out of Hanhua Palace, Emperor Taizong had a gloomy expression on his face.

Eunuch Li Fu followed carefully, with his head lowered, and even his steps were very light, not daring to make any sound.

When he was about to turn to Ganlu Hall, Emperor Taizong paused, turned a corner, and turned into Changsheng Hall again.

Seeing Emperor Taizong enter the Palace of Longevity, Eunuch Li Fu's stomach began to twitch.

The emperor usually doesn't like staying in the Hall of Eternal Life.

"Go down!" After saying two words lightly, Emperor Taizong strode into the apse.Eunuch Li Fu dared not speak.He signaled the ladies and eunuchs in the Hall of Eternal Life to retreat, and he also retreated to the entrance of the apse.

Emperor Taizong walked into the bath and slowly closed his eyes.

Qianer's soft and shallow smile is still circling in my mind...

Maybe, he shouldn't go to the Qihui Palace any more recently.

***********

For more than a month, Emperor Taizong did not come to Qihui Hall.There are no rewards in the weekdays.On the contrary, Shaohua Hall, Zhizhu Hall, Hanhua Hall, and Wuzheng Hall received many rewards.Of course, a lot of things were specially rewarded to the three princesses Changle, Yuzhang, and Gaoyang who were raised by the queen.

For these, Cheng Qian would be lying if he said that he was not lost or doubted.He even wondered if he had done something wrong, and even wondered if someone had said something in his father's ear.

But when he saw the score of "Fisherman's Song" sent by his mother, he slowly calmed down.

I couldn't help laughing in my heart, saying that I should not be shocked by favor or humiliation, that advances and retreats are not in vain, and that I keep my heart?I just got restless after being forgotten by my father for a few days?

Chengqian calmed down and continued to live his own life.

He studied with Wei Zheng, and Wei Zheng was very pleased when he saw the big characters written by him, and said to him, "I thought His Highness would forget the word for tranquility, but unexpectedly His Highness got the samadhi of "settling".

Cheng Qian smiled.

Playing the piano, playing chess, drawing, teasing with Changle and his younger sister, Gao Yang, the days are rich.

Then, the pre-cuju meeting began.
