Travel back to ancient times to play danmei

The next day when they went to court, it really was a battle between dragons and tigers. Zuo Xiang Ning Tian and Minister of the Ministry of Officials Fang Zhuo confronted Maimang, no matter whether it was political opinions or recommending new officials. To help out, he tossed the morning for two hours until after lunch, Xuan Yichen waved his hand and said that we will discuss it tomorrow.

Sikong Huan followed the crowd and filed out. Fang Zhuo was standing there with a face full of dignity. When he saw Sikong Huan, he had a smile on his face. He patted him on the shoulder and said, "You are a good young man. If you don't sing, you will become a blockbuster!" , Seeing that Old Ghost Ning choked on those two words to you just now, it's really a pleasure, hahaha."

"Fang Shangshu has won the award." Si Konghuan didn't like to be close to others, he cupped his hands lightly, found an excuse and left, and when he walked away, he looked back, Fang Zhuo was surrounded by more than a dozen subordinates, his beard was shaking He was talking about Ning Zuoxiang and laughed out loud from time to time.

Si Konghuan shook his head, Fang Zhuo is a good man, warm-hearted, and upright, but he is not a good official, because he doesn't know how to be flexible, how to read words, let alone compromise, so only a straight-forward position like Minister of the Ministry of Officials is suitable. He's gone, Ning Zuoxiang is old and cunning, today's small victory will only be exchanged for a bigger scheme in the future, but Fang Zhuo let his guard down like this, he is really ignorant.

He was sighing secretly, when a young eunuch walked towards him, and said in a low voice as he passed by, "Lord Sikong, the emperor has prepared lunch at Liuji."

When Sikong Huan was in a daze, the little eunuch had already passed by without a sound, Sikonghuan smiled helplessly, it was only a lunch, and he needed to be so sneaky, Xuan Yichen was too careful.

Sikong Huan walked out of the palace gate slowly, and the ornate or plain sedan chairs outside were lined up neatly one by one. The butler of the Minister's Mansion stopped Sikong Huan with a bitter face, "My lord, you can sit in the official sedan chair once today."

Sikong Huan, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, likes to go down to court and go for a walk in an official uniform. It has been spread all over Fengcheng, and some people even ridiculed that Sikong Huan has no money to hire people to carry the sedan chair because he has too little oil and water with Fang Zhuo, the iron rooster. of.

The big girl and the little daughter-in-law in Fengcheng are quite happy. Although this Sikong servant is cold on the face, he is indeed extremely handsome, and he rarely goes out. Only this time can feast everyone's eyes.

Sikong Huan frowned slightly, "Didn't I say that, I won't sit here to do anything."

The butler said, "My lord, even if you don't take the sedan chair, you can't save money. The four bearers according to the steps must be hired. Even if they don't carry the sedan chair, we can't save a penny. Don't be stubborn."

In fact, the housekeeper is quite innocent. He managed to catch the chance of promotion, and was sent to the servant's mansion with great enthusiasm. He rolled up his sleeves and wanted to make a plan for the new master, but he was left out in the cold after he arrived. It lives in a detached courtyard outside, without servants or maids, and even he, the housekeeper, doesn't have the right to step in. It's really ugly that such a huge servant's mansion is deserted and empty.

Si Konghuan was helpless, as if he was short of money and stingy, "Housekeeper, my salary has been sent to the servant's mansion, you can spend whatever you lack, if it is not enough, come to the gate of the palace to get it from me on the [-]th day of every month." Now, don't bother me normally."

The butler was choked by him and didn't know what to say, so he could only stare at Sikong Huan pitifully, "Then sir... just sit here just once? You see, we've all come here, so it's not worth the trip."

Seeing that the four bearers were also looking at him gearing up, Sikong Huan had no choice but to give way, "Okay, let's not make an example."

Sikong Huan possesses lightness kung fu and his feet are extremely fast, so he doesn't like sitting in a sedan chair very much. Not to mention the bumps, the speed is still very slow. I don't know why those rich and noble people like to sit around the city in a sedan chair, and their bones can fall apart. .

Thanks to the blessing of carrying the sedan chair, it took Sikong Huan twice as long to get home. When he changed into casual clothes and rushed to Liuji, half an hour had passed. There were beads of sweat on his forehead, and he was eager to enter the house. In the backyard of Liuji, the crystal chandelier in the hall reflects the bright sky, and the pear blossoms are in full bloom. Xuan Yichen is leaning by the window and drinking tea in a white embroidered bamboo dress. When he sees him coming, the smile on his face grows stronger, "So Tonight, I thought you wouldn't come."

Sikong Huan smiled apologetically, "Some things have been delayed."

Xuan Yichen passed the teacup in his hand to Sikong Huan through the window, "Taste it, this is the Jiangnan beauty tea I found, it tastes fragrant and very pleasant."

Legend has it that beauty tea can only be picked by a beautiful maiden who bathes and cleanses herself naked in the tea garden in the early morning after the new rain. Meirenxiang is even more like-minded.

At this moment, what Sikong Huan cares about is not tea at all, but this cup used by Xuan Yichen. Being able to share a cup at least represents infinite trust and intimacy. Did it walk into Xuan Yichen's heart?

Sikong Huan took a sip of tea absent-mindedly, but he couldn't taste any graceful taste, but his heart was extremely happy, but he has always been emotionally indifferent, so his face was also indifferent, except for his bright eyes, there was nothing special at all .

"Xuan Yichen, have you eaten yet?"

"No, the chef won't come, so I have to be hungry first." Xuan Yichen made a rare joke, pointing to the long-vacant kitchen in the backyard, "I prepared ingredients for you on my own initiative, if you are willing to do it, you can Go in and pick a few to use."

"Okay." Si Konghuan nodded, he was in an extremely happy mood at the moment, there was no one who refused to agree to Xuan Yichen's request.

Sikong Huan entered the kitchen, which was newly decorated, and everything was available, not to mention home-cooked dishes, even the imperial table can be tossed, he sighed, it's a pity that his cooking skills are mediocre, and there are really not many things that can be used many.

Xuan Yichen leaned against the window and watched Sikong Huan busy in the kitchen from a distance, and he felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction in his heart. For a moment, he wished that he could watch the beautiful Sikong Huan like an exiled immortal like this for the rest of his life. Do the trivial, mundane things yourself.

Si Konghuan only made three vegetarian dishes and a red bean and glutinous rice porridge. He said that it was a little bit reluctant for lunch, but he realized it when he delivered the dishes to the table, and said hesitantly, "This is what I'm used to, it seems too vegetarian... ...How about I make a meat dish again."

"No, this is fine." Xuan Yichen pulled him back, and took out a handkerchief to help him wipe off his sweat, "Compared with delicacies from mountains and seas, I still think this kind of porridge and side dishes are better."

Sikong Huan blushed slightly, the bamboo leaves on Xuan Yichen smelled good, and his thoughtful words were very touching.

Xuan Yichen put away the handkerchief with a smile, he was not smuggled by Sikong Huan carelessly like last time, and he didn't know whether such a move was intentional or unintentional, but Sikong Huan broke out in another round of cold sweat in shock, He was afraid that Xuan Yichen would see through his selfishness too early, and would have resistance and loathing before he fell in love with him.

Fortunately, Xuan Yichen didn't do anything else, he helped him add tea and vegetables as usual, and the two of them chatted freely.

Compared with Sikong Huan's light meals, Xuan Yichen actually prefers the ease and ease with him. This person's face is as delicate as a woman's, but his heart is full of rivers and mountains. His wisdom and insight are far beyond the reach of others Moreover, Si Konghuan has also been to many places, learned a lot about the customs and customs, and told some anecdotes and strange things very interestingly, which caused Xuan Yichen to laugh frequently and clap his hands.

It is also a blessing to be able to sneak away in such an afternoon.

Happy time always flies by quickly, and in the blink of an eye, when the sun was setting to the west, Xuan Yichen and his entourage hurried back to the palace, where there were still a bunch of memorials and trivial matters waiting for him, plus two red-eyed concubines, And a better headache.

Si Konghuan cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks himself, and then walked out of Liu Ji unhurriedly. The disappointment of seeing Xuan Yichen's big wedding yesterday had already healed, because he gradually felt the specialness that Xuan Yichen treated him with. He didn't expect to be able to replace Liu Juqi, or make Xuan Yichen fall in love with him like he loves Liu Juqi, as long as Xuan Yichen can have his own place in his heart, that's enough to satisfy him.

Even if he just follows him like a shadow all the time, waiting for the love that may never come, he is willing.

When he lived on the mountain before, his father said that he didn't understand love, so he was indifferent by nature. He retorted that it was because he felt that love in the world was illusory, and it was impossible for him to give up a lot for a stranger. When it came to Xuan Yichen, he felt that his father was right. When facing someone you like, no matter how indifferent your heart is, you will not only give up a lot for his joy, but even wish you could give him everything you have.

As long as he needs you, you will never go away.

*****

Prime Minister Ning Zuo suffered a disadvantage in the court, and Concubine Fang Gui suffered a disadvantage in the palace. Such a delicate balance temporarily stopped the struggle between the two factions for a few days, and Xuan Yichen was able to breathe.

Spring is raining, and good news keeps coming. First, Jiangbei’s foreign party will be destroyed without attack, and then Luo Qiutang’s new hybrid grain species will be effective. It is expected to see results this autumn. If successful, the grain output of Fenglan Kingdom will be at least Doubled, this is a happy event that benefits the country and the people.

Xuan Yichen issued an order to call Luo Qiutang back to Beijing to return to his command. Who knew that this daring guy was unwilling to go back to Fengcheng again, so he wrote to Xuan Yichen to demote him three ranks in a row. The sweetheart lives in peace.

Xuan Yichen was still a little surprised in his heart. Luo Qiutang approached him at the beginning for power and status. He is the second son in the family and has never been treated better than his eldest brother, so he put all his efforts to get ahead. Now that Luo Qiutang has become the number one celebrity in the imperial court, who would have thought that he would stop right there and retire bravely, willing to give up the bright future that was at his fingertips for the sake of love.

Is love really so miraculous, it can change a person so easily, such as Xuan Yixi, such as Yan Sulan.

Xuan Yichen smiled wryly, maybe he was still not thorough enough, he raised the cinnabar pen and pondered for a while, and finally decided whether Luo Qiutang would stay or not—it shouldn’t be too bad to be a township lord, he had helped him for so long, after all, he was not a Those who crossed rivers and demolished bridges, no one would be demoted to three ranks if they wanted to retire. The township is suitable for land and salary, but he is a coveted idle official, and Luo Qiutang will definitely be very satisfied.

Xuan Yichen sighed and put down his pen, leaving what he had to do. In the end, he couldn't even keep Luo Qiutang's sharp sword.

It's so cold at the top, it's really a curse, the father let go of the throne in order to fly away with Xiao Meng, and live the life he wanted to live, then do I have to give up this position in order to find the person who will be with me for a lifetime?

Xuan Yichen was confused for the first time. He has always regarded his dream of making the country strong and the people safe. Being an emperor is the only way to realize this dream. But he sees that others are happy, but he doubts himself more and more The decision, this dream is too big and too tiring, and he can't breathe under the pressure...

Someone came to deliver something outside, Xuan Yichen gently rubbed his temples, looked at the small yellow package, "What is this?"

"Return to the emperor, this is a picture book sent by the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Sir Sikong. He said it is an interesting thing."

"Interesting things?" Xuan Yichen raised the corners of his lips, and suddenly became interested, "You show me here."

There were six booklets in the small yellow package. The pages of the booklet were yellowed, obviously it was old, Xuan Yichen flipped through it a few times, the style of the painting was very strange, the people inside were not realistic, they all had big eyes and long hair Legs, and a strange civet cat with a round head, the drawing is very pleasing, there are four paintings on each page, and there are dialogues, which is quite novel.

Xuan Yichen put down the picture album, smiled and opened the letterhead attached to the book, and said: "This is a comic book, one of the wonderful things passed down from my master. It's good for relieving fatigue, let's use it as a pastime."

Xuan Yichen folded the letterhead, put it under the paperweight, reached out and opened the first volume, and muttered to himself, "Dingdang cat... the name of this cat is really strange."

The little eunuch who brought the things in stood awkwardly, not knowing whether to ask Xuan Yichen for instructions first, or just leave, Xuan Yichen watched with relish, and occasionally laughed softly, he really didn't dare to disturb.

The steward on duty outside opened the curtain and waved to him secretly, and the little eunuch ran away like a puff of amnesty. The steward took another look at Xuan Yichen inside, and with a smile, told the caterer outside, "Your Majesty today!" Be happy, remember to prepare an extra jug of good wine tonight."
