"Elder-in-law" migraine

Duan Yijie sighed heavily, and Gong Xibang, who was sitting next to him, turned his head and glanced at him, telling him to calm down with his eyes, but when he turned his head, he found Duan Yixian kneeling in the middle of the hall at some point, facing the scene Emperor Yan said, "Father, I have one more request, I hope you can agree to it, I would rather not have other rewards."

The hall was quiet for a moment, and Emperor Jing Yan looked at his son with some surprise, "If you have any requests from Yixian, just ask."

Duan Yixian licked his lower lip, seemed a little embarrassed, hesitated before he spoke, "Father, I went to Turkic this time, and met someone I will never forget, I hope... I hope you can Make decisions for your ministers, and give marriages to your ministers."

Emperor Jingyan raised his brows, "Who's daughter made you ask me?"

Duan Yixian lowered his head slightly, and said, "Father, she... is the daughter of the Turkic king."

Emperor Jing Yan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "This time you go out on behalf of me in exchange for peace talks with the Turkic king. If you can marry the Turkic king, the stability of the border will be guaranteed. Of course, I am willing to give you a marriage. I just don’t know what this Turkic king means?”

A smile appeared on Duan Yixian's face, "The Turkic king said that it is all up to the father to decide."

Emperor Jingyan laughed, "That would be great. I will tell your mother and concubine when I go back, and choose an auspicious day for you. You are not too young, and there really should be someone who is in charge in Prince Yi's mansion."

The smile on Duan Yixian's face was even wider, and he hurriedly said, "I thank you, Father."

Ren Zhi frowned, watching the man retreat to his position, the man raised his head and glanced at him, only one glance, quickly retracted, and then threw himself into the congratulations of the courtiers.

Yiwang Mansion.

After returning from the palace, the mansion received many courtiers who visited under the banner of congratulations. It was not until the hour passed that the visitors slowly dispersed, and Prince Yi's mansion returned to silence after a day of hustle and bustle.King Yi's mansion has only been established for three years, because King Yi has never been married, so he is the only real master in this mansion.

Duan Yixian ordered his servants to go and see the Turkic princess who lived in the mansion, then went back to the room, took off the outer robe, and took the middle coat prepared by the servants to change into.

When Ren Zhi came in, what he saw was his master's bare back, he couldn't help but pause, and then coughed lightly.

Duan Yixian put on the middle coat, looked back at Ren Zhi, and said, "Come in, I knew it was you."

Ren Zhi closed the door with his hand back, walked in front of Duan Yixian, raised his hand and opened his hand that was tying his belt, "His Royal Highness Yi Wang can't even tie a belt, so why didn't he wear clothes for half a year?"

Duan Yixian opened his arms, put away the appearance of a gentleman during the day, and let him tie his belt lazily.He lowered his head and saw the hair on the top of Ren Zhi's head. He couldn't help but pause for a moment, and then he came back to his senses, "How is my concubine mother doing? I went back to the mansion after the banquet today, and I didn't even have time to visit her."

Ren Zhi fastened his belt, took a step back, and raised his eyes to look at Duan Yixian's face, "I went to see Concubine Shu quietly last night, and everything is fine. Your Majesty has gone a few more times this month, but he didn't stay long Just go."

Duan Yixian nodded and sighed, "I'm afraid that the knot in my concubine's heart will never be untied. Ever since my father broke his oath and made another woman, she probably can't do anything anymore. Forgive him."

Ren Zhi glanced at Duan Yixian, but didn't answer his words. There are some words that the other party can say and he can listen to, but he can't make any response.

Duan Yixian was silent for a while, and when he came back to his senses, he found that Ren Zhi was standing quietly in front of him, so he stretched out his hand and pulled him to sit beside him. I haven't seen him for half a year. The boy in front of him seems to have grown a lot. It seems that the body has suddenly been raised a lot, the flesh on the cheeks has begun to fade, and the edges and corners have become more and more sharp, and the facial features are correct.He couldn't help but stared at the boy in a daze.

Ren Zhi raised his head and met Duan Yixian's eyes. He was stunned for a moment, turned his face slightly, and turned his head back after a while, "You... How have you been in the past six months? Did you get hurt?"

Duan Yixian raised the corners of his lips, "Soldiers of the three armies are protecting me, if I can still get hurt, I will have no face to come back." His voice suddenly became very gentle, "Ren Zhi, you seem to have lost weight, but you have grown taller. "

Ren Zhi couldn't help looking up at the other person's eyes, the shrewdness and prudence of the day faded from those familiar eyes, without the restraint and rigor in front of outsiders, at this moment, only gentleness remained, just like those years ago , belongs to him alone.

Ren Zhi sat on the chair, raised his head slightly to look at Duan Yixian's face, and suddenly felt that his purpose of running out of the palace in the middle of the night had been achieved, no matter how glamorous that person was during the day, but at this moment, this person is still more than ten As a young boy who grew up together over the years, many things may change, but some things will never change.No one knows better than himself what he wants and how much he has paid for it.

As for myself, as long as I can look at him, that's fine.

Thinking of this, Ren Zhi suddenly stood up, took a step forward, and leaned his head slightly on Duan Yixian's shoulder, "I'm leaving."

With a smile on Duan Yixian's lips, he stretched out his hand and gently stroked Ren Zhi's hair, "Go back."

Ren Zhi raised the corners of his lips, took a step back, opened the window, and quickly disappeared into the night.Duan Yixian stood at the window, smiled and shook his head, "It's been so many years, but I still don't have the habit of going through the door." He glanced sideways at his shoulder, which seemed to still have the body temperature of a teenager.Close the windows, turn off the lights, and have a good night's sleep after a long absence.

Three days later, Prince Yi's Mansion ushered in the imperial decree to bestow marriage, and accepted the Turkic princess Ashinalan into the palace, allowing her to marry from the palace in the future. The hostess aroused everyone's curiosity.And Ren Zhi was standing behind Emperor Jingyan, looking at the girl sitting beside Concubine Shu.Ashinalan was sitting on the chair, her eyebrows and eyes were brighter than ordinary middle-earth women, her nose bridge was higher, and her cheeks were protruding, showing the appearance of a foreigner, but probably because of her appearance, she followed her mother a little more and behaved in a well-regulated manner. Wearing palace clothes, it looks like the same thing.

Concubine Shu seemed to be very satisfied with Ashinalan. She usually had a smile on her face when she saw Emperor Jingyan, who didn't see a smile on her face. Like the mother-in-law of the daughter-in-law, she kept asking questions.

Emperor Jing Yan didn't talk much, and most of his eyes fell on Concubine Shu. Anyway, this woman was the first person he fell in love with when he was young. vow, but this woman has always been irreplaceable in his heart.

After all, Ashinalan's mother is from the Middle Earth, so the daughter she taught is also gentle and polite. She answered Concubine Shu's questions softly with a slight smile on her face, without a trace of impatience. I am afraid that such a person would be even worse if she were Princess Yi. It couldn't be more appropriate.

Ren Zhi looked at it for a while, then withdrew his gaze, lowered his head and continued to be an obedient and sensible little eunuch.

Emperor Jing Yan stayed in Concubine Shu's palace for a while, and occasionally said a few words to Ashinalan, but Concubine Shu didn't say a word to him, feeling that she was not welcome, and there was a memorial to criticize, Emperor Jing Yan got up and left, letting Zhi follow behind him, finally glanced at Ashinalan from the corner of his eye, and walked out slowly.

Empress Gongxi has been in the harem for 20 years. Although Emperor Jingyan is not fond of her, the people who are favored in the harem come and go, but no one can threaten her position as queen, because she has one in the harem. The elder brother with a high position and authority in the hall is also because she knows too well how to sit in this back seat.

Because she can bear it.

21 years ago, she was able to bear the burden of marrying Emperor Jingyan, who was only a Hou family, as his concubine. In the past 20 years, she can also endure Emperor Jingyan bringing one woman after another into the harem, and treat each other with courtesy.So Emperor Jing Yan might not love her, but he couldn't help but respect her.

In this emperor's family, when it comes to love, whoever can occupy the high position is the winner.

Gong Xihan reached for the cup in front of her, took a sip of tea, and looked up at the little eunuch who had just entered, "Your Majesty is still in the Hall of Concentricity?"

"Mistress Bing, Your Majesty will return to Qinzheng Hall after sitting for a while."

Gong Xihan nodded, waved him to go down, looked back at Gong Xibang who was sitting on the side, slightly bent his lips and smiled, "After so many years, Concubine Shu is still worried about that matter, why bother. She If I can relax and give Your Majesty a little bit of a good face, my empress position may not be anyone's."

Gong Xibang shook his head and chuckled, "Concubine Shu probably thought she was a princess of the first dynasty. But that's good too, so we don't have to worry about her all the time. However, her son is not a worry-free one. .”

Gong Xihan put down the cup, raised his hand and stroked his hair, "It's just a child with a yellow mouth, don't put it on your body. Yijie has been the crown prince for more than ten years. As long as there is no serious fault, no matter how powerful Duan Yixian is, there is nothing he can do about it." Asking His Majesty to change his mind and give him the throne, instead, he will be a big fan, helping Yijie share the threat of others, why not let us sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight."

Gongxi Banglue pondered, "What do you mean, we don't need to do anything about Duan Yixian marrying a Turkic princess?"

"No matter what action we use, someone will be more impatient than us." Gong Xihan stood up, "Why worry about these things, the weather outside is so good, we might as well go to the imperial garden."

Gong Xibang glanced at his younger sister, and suddenly found that his younger sister was the shrewdest person in the entire Gongxi family. Back then, she was so discerning and married Duan Shengming, who had become a son-in-law at that time, as a concubine regardless of his father and brother's obstruction. Let her bet, Duan Shengming became the biggest winner in the troubled times, and she actually became the mother of a country, and the whole family followed the chickens and dogs to heaven.

After Gong Xibang thought about it, he felt at ease, so he got up and went to the imperial garden with Gong Xihan behind.
