rebirth [rebirth]

It has been in bloom for ten years, which is the year of Rong Jingxuan's thirties.

He was born in March, which is the time when spring flowers are blooming.

The Ministry of Rituals consulted Li Ge about the matter of Shengshang's longevity in advance, and was finally approved by the old man: "Your Majesty does not like to make a big deal, and the matter of the Longevity Festival will be discussed later."

The Minister of Rites came back in despair, and sighed to the servant: "What should I do? It seems that there are still three months left. If you don't prepare now, it will be too late."

The servant poured him a bowl of herbal tea, sipped his beard and said, "What's the hurry, my lord? You still don't understand His Majesty's temper? The note from Han Ge, let's wait obediently."

Master Shang Shu was still in a hurry: "Oh, you boy, how can you not be in a hurry."

"Okay, my lord, drink some tea and quell the fire. How did His Majesty instruct how to come? After so many years, when have you ever seen His Majesty's orders go wrong?"

Lord Shang Shu was stunned for a moment, and finally sat down and sighed: "What you said is true, but I didn't see it through."

The servant refilled his cup of tea leisurely, and drank it down with his head raised.

He was a first-class Jinshi in the first year of Kaisheng, the youngest and handsome Tanhualang back then, and he has been a minister of the Ministry of Rites for ten years, and his ancestral grave is already smoking.

In the past ten years, he has been ups and downs in the officialdom. When he was young and ignorant, he always felt that the Holy Majesty and the Dijun were playing a show, saying that the abolition of the Six Palaces was just because the Dijun accompanied him on the difficult journey to restore the country, and he did not want to forget this kindness.

However, ten years later, he and his wife raised the case to match their eyebrows and they were deeply in love. After watching the performance of the Holy One and the Emperor, he finally came to his senses.

It turned out that every word the Holy Majesty said and every promise he made was true.

Thinking of this, the servant touched the sachet his wife made for him at his waist, and couldn't help but smile.

In Changxin Palace, it was time for the cabinet meeting.

The so-called cabinet discussion means that every morning, the Li Pavilion sorts out all the memorials of the previous day, and then reports to the two majesties according to the priorities.

This report was not jointly reviewed by the two majesties, but approved separately.

There are now eight people in Lige, except for Xie Huaixin who is the prime minister, the other seven are all first-rank officials, and they don't hold posts in various provinces and ministries alone.

The rough approval in the morning was presided over by Xie Huaixin, and he usually didn't come for the afternoon cabinet meeting, and went home to rest.

He is now at the age of knowing his destiny, and he can be regarded as the father of the two, but the two are afraid of tiring his old man, let the subordinates do what they can do, he just has an idea.

It was Han Bin who reported to Rong Jingxuan here, and he was saying: "The Ministry of Rites has come to ask about the Longevity Festival again, and I will discuss it later, is it feasible?"

When Rong Jingxuan was young, it could be said that it was rough, and it was difficult to get to today, so he never restrained himself for outsiders.He has always dressed very simply in the palace, never wearing complicated dresses, and Xie Mingze is the same as him.

I saw that he was wearing a dark blue light gown at the moment, and the soft brocade was embroidered with dragon patterns, which made his eyebrows more majestic.

Now that he is in his thirties, he is naturally more imposing than when he was young, sometimes just staring at people silently can scare the courtiers into a cold sweat.

But he is rarely powerless to reprimand others, and the cabinet meetings are getting gentler every year, but for some reason, people dare not disobey.

Now that Da Chu issued an order, no courtier dared to refute his words, and even the harshest officials never criticized the emperor and the emperor.

They only dare to bully and bully their old opponents, and scold courtiers who are sitting on a vegetarian diet.

Rong Jingxuan still had a smile on his face at the moment, his long hair was all tied behind his back with silk, and he looked very free and easy.

"Birthdays are celebrated every year, there is nothing to do." Rong Jingxuan said softly.

Han Bin let out a sigh of relief, and secretly wiped the sweat from his palms on the heavy official uniform.

Your Majesty is cooling off, they are hot.

"Your Majesty, this year is a whole life, if you don't do it, I'm afraid..." Han Bin thought for a moment, but still bit the bullet and said.

Every Longevity Day is a good day for His Majesty to show mercy.

In the past years, Rong Jingxuan's business was simple, and he didn't have so many vain things in the daytime. In the evening, he invited the courtiers above the third rank to have a dinner with them, and then went back to their respective homes.

He also doesn't like people to give him birthday gifts.

The money for the birthday gift was either greedy from the common people or picked from his own house, and he was not short of those things, so he abolished that etiquette since the first year of Kaisheng.

It doesn't cost much to hold a dinner party simply.

Rong Jingxuan paused holding the pen, then turned to look at Xie Mingze.

Xie Mingze is much gentler than him, and he speaks very politely, so Tiao Lige, who is easy to approve, prefers to ask Xie Mingze for approval. He approves very quickly, and usually only writes a few sentences.

It is useless to ask Xie Mingze for particularly complicated and elusive things, he will not give approval.

For example, military affairs, he never touches them.

Although the people of Da Chu knew that he was talented in both civil and military affairs, and followed Rong Jingxuan back to the world, but Xie Mingze said that if he didn't approve, he would not approve, and no matter how much the cabinet ministers begged, he would not agree.

After all, Han Bin is considered the most popular servant in front of the two Majesties. He knew that the two had a very good relationship, so he even presumptuously persuaded Xie Mingze: "Your Majesty, why should you be so cautious, Your Majesty will not doubt you."

He was telling the truth.

Han Bin knew in his heart that even if he had a little bit of selfishness and did dirty things in Lige, Rong Jingxuan would drag him to Caishikou Lingchi without changing his face.

But even if Xie Mingze made mistakes ten times or eight times, or even did nothing wrong in his life, Rong Jingxuan would not read him a word.

The Rong family has always been dedicated, and Rong Jingxuan is the best example.

On the contrary, Xie Mingze was a little funny when he heard it, and said with a smile: "Mr. Ge is worrying too much. The things I can approve are just to make him relax and not so tired. He pays more attention to some things than me, so naturally he can weigh them better. , I'm not being cautious, it's just saving some trouble."

After he finished speaking, he sighed again: "To tell you the truth, we feel tired every day now."

Yes, how can you not be tired?

Such a large country, boundless and boundless, with tens of thousands of people, needs them to decide.

There are eight people in Lige, and they all feel busy every day, not to mention that there are six departments and six subjects under them, and Rong Jingxuan and Xie Mingze, there are only two people in total.

With the two of them, this huge country was supported.

Rong Jingxuan has been on the throne for ten years, and even though he was bedridden, he insisted that Xie Mingze take charge of the court, and he only rested from the court every year on their birthdays and the Spring Festival. This seriousness and hard work can be seen by anyone.

Today's Da Chu is not what it used to be.

Everything he thought and hoped for back then has been achieved.

It is enough for the common people to live and work in peace and contentment, and their families live in harmony and happiness.

Han Bin couldn't help being a little distracted. When he came back to his senses, he heard Xie Mingze say from the side: "Since it's a whole life, I still have to do it."

Rong Jingxuan smiled, and his voice softened: "Okay, do as you want."

Xie Mingze looked very happy, and said again: "Ten years have passed in a flash, and we are all standing here."

Rong Jingxuan nodded: "Yes, but since Wanshou is managed by you, waiting for your Qianqiu, you have to listen to me."

Xie Mingze was taken aback, and shook his head helplessly: "You."

The two showed their love for each other blatantly, and the seven cabinet ministers below lowered their heads one after another, desperately expressing that they did not exist.

The whole afternoon was spent in the imperial study. It was already late when Rong Jingxuan and Xie Mingze came out of the study. Spring plowing was approaching, so there were inevitably more things to do.

The two walked out hand in hand and walked towards Chu Ming Palace.

Although the Yukun Palace where the empress lived had been rebuilt in the third year of Kaisheng, Xie Mingze and Rong Jingxuan lived in Chuming Palace all the time and never went anywhere.

The two ate and slept together like an ordinary couple, which made many young palace people envious.

Because they had been sitting for a long time, they also wanted to relax, so instead of taking the chariot, they walked back.

Just walking halfway, I saw a little Douding running from a distance: "Father, Father!"

Rong Jingxuan and Xie Mingze stopped at the same time and laughed.

Xiao Douding is only three years old now, and is the eldest son of King Kang Rong Jingheng. He was adopted to them as soon as he was born, and he became the rightful eldest prince.

Rong Jingxuan was not in a hurry to make him the crown prince, but taught Xie Mingze carefully, no matter what, he must be raised well. Whether he can inherit the great rule in the future depends on his own fortune.

Anyway, my younger brother is still young, although his body is a little weaker, but his younger brother and sister are healthy girls, and now they are pregnant with another one in only two years.

If there is one, there will be two, and if there are two, there will be three. Sooner or later, the Rong family will be prosperous again.

With Xiaoliu's body, she was willing to marry, and Rong Jingxuan remembered her just because of this.

Xiao Douding came straight towards him like a cannonball, although he called his father first, he hugged Xie Mingze's thigh.

"Father, what are you eating today?"

Seeing him, the two of them softened no matter how serious they were usually.

Xie Mingze bent down to pick him up, and kissed his red cheek.

Douding smiled back and kissed him, and leaned over to kiss his father again: "Father, long time no see."

He is in the stage of enlightenment, he learned some new words today, and he has to use them when having dinner with them at night, and he can't say a word.

Gu Guangbo is his teacher, and he is naturally very attentive to teaching the prince.

"Yes, long time no see, Your Highness." Rong Jingxuan helped him wipe the sweat from his temples, and reached out to touch his back.

Boys at this age would inevitably sweat a lot, and he was well-raised, so the two of them were always afraid that he would sweat too much and get windy.

But the tentacle was very clean, Rong Jingxuan couldn't help but glanced at the two people following them.

The eldest prince now has eight internal officials and eight court ladies. The most capable person around him is Lu Qing who entered the palace in the first year of Kaisheng. He has many younger siblings in his family, and most of them were brought up by him. He is quite patient with the children.

Rong Jingxuan and Xie Mingze chose him after thousands of choices at the beginning.

The other is a [-] year old boy, the eldest son of the eldest prince's nanny, who is regarded as a playmate.

Anyway, there is no decent empress in the palace, the only one is a man, Rong Jingxuan and Xie Mingze picked a boy to be the eldest prince's playmate, and no courtier dared to speak out.

A few years ago, Zhong Qi went to take charge of the House of Internal Affairs, and now the two His Majesties are accompanied by Xiao Xizi from back then.

The current Eunuch Zhong Xi.

It was because Zhong Qi had to go back to the mansion outside the palace every day, so Zhong Qi unloaded the chief internal officer to Zhong Xi.

Compared with his stepbrother, Zhong Xi is more eye-catching and more tactful.

With only one look from Rong Jingxuan, he immediately understood: "You two are meticulous in serving you, and you will be rewarded."

The eldest prince's nickname is Douding. Rong Jingxuan said that it is difficult for children in the palace to grow up, so he gave it the name of an ordinary people's family.

Douding likes this nickname very much. Compared with that complex and hard-to-understand big name, whenever his father and father call him that, he feels very happy.

"Tonight's dinner is your favorite Sixi Tofu Soup. I will reward you for doing your homework well." Xie Mingze said with a smile.

Douding's eyes lit up immediately.

"Okay! Thank you, Father!"

He is a particularly easy-to-satisfy kid, even if it's just a favorite dish at night, he can make him happy.

At a young age, I know how to respect teachers, listen carefully in class, play as I like after class, and never wrong myself.

Rong Jingxuan and Xie Mingze accompanied him until he was three years old, and they never missed a day in taking care of him. That's why the child grew up so well and lived up to their expectations.

The two looked at each other, seeing satisfaction in each other's eyes.

In the evening, the family had a meal with He Meimei. After the meal, the two fathers took their dolls for a walk in the imperial garden. Douding was obediently led by his father and listened carefully to his story about the origin of each flower and plant.

Xie Mingze has read a lot of books, this little imperial garden can't help him.

Usually the family will go back after two rounds of walking. Douding now lives with them in the apse of Chu Ming Palace, and the two of them will accompany him to sleep before returning to the front hall to take a bath and rest.

They were always busy during the day, and when they returned to Chu Ming Palace at night, they seldom talked about serious business.

After taking a bath together, the two went back to the dormitory. Sometimes they read books, sometimes they played chess and chatted.

Both of them were a little tired this day, and they leaned on the soft couch and chatted together.

Rong Jingxuan looked into Xie Mingze's eyes, and suddenly smiled: "After so many years, we are still the same as before."

Xie Mingze also smiled and held his hand: "Because we have never changed."

Yes, in the past ten years, they sat on the dragon chair at the top of the imperial power and looked down at all beings. It is impossible to say that their mentality will not change, but the person next to them is always the same, but it really has not changed.

For so many years, how many people have been waiting for Rong Jingxuan to accept the harem, and how many people have maliciously guessed that the two are just in love on the surface, but the reality keeps embarrassing them.

Because these two people are really consistent.

Ten years of love, ten years of heart.

They are busy every day, raising their children together, and they rarely have leisure at night, but they just want to be tender with each other.

"Yeah, my Aze liked me before, and he likes me now."

Rong Jingxuan smiled and went to kiss his lips.

As always, unbelievably soft.

For Rong Jingxuan, Xie Mingze is the softest treasure in his heart.

No one can touch it except him.

"Tell me, how do you want to celebrate my birthday?"

Xie Mingze turned over, lay in his arms and looked down at him: "What does Your Majesty want?"

He had a smile on his face, and there were dots of light from palace lanterns in his eyes.

Rong Jingxuan leaned over and bit his lips lightly, lingered for a long time, and finally whispered something in his ear.

I saw Xie Mingze's earlobes slowly turning red, and finally dyed rouge.

"Jing Xuan!"

Xie Mingze scolded in a low voice.

Outside the sleeping hall, only Rong Jingxuan whispered: "You promise me, don't go back on your word, okay?"

Eunuch Xi sighed helplessly, and resolutely drove away all the small palace people, while ordering to prepare hot water and snacks.

"I have to go to bed late again today." Eunuch Xi yawned secretly.

In the hall, Xie Mingze blushed and said, "As... as you like."
