Zhuo Qihua

Chapter 76

Yan Xuan hurriedly kowtowed to plead guilty, but the emperor's voice came from above: "Shunxi wants you to cheer, so you can dance."

Yan Xuan's tears almost fell down.He swallowed tears by kowtowing to thank him.The palace servants around Yan Xuan played the pipa, Yan Xuan stood up, and danced under the watchful eyes of countless pairs of eyes.Zhuo Ji watched Yan Xuan dance lazily. After Yan Xuan danced for a while, Zhuo Ji covered his mouth and yawned. Putting his hand down, Zhuo Ji said directly: "I'm sleepy after listening to this pipa music."

The pipa song stopped, and Yan Xuan couldn't dance anymore.Huang Guixie said: "Yan Xuan, you go down. By the way, I feel sleepy listening to your pipa tune. If you perform dances in the future, don't choose this pipa tune again."

Yan Xuan said "yes" with trembling lips, bowed his head and stepped back.Anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was crying.Emperor Yong'an was expressionless, Zhuo Ji yawned again, and said, "Your Majesty, I'm sleepy, but I don't want to go back, and I want to chat with you two for a while longer."

Emperor Yong'an, who had been sullen just now, smiled at this time. He pointed at Zhuo Ji, and said in a fond tone: "It seems that you won't be able to chat with them after tonight. If you're sleepy, just Go back to sleep."

"But the servant doesn't want to go back."

Emperor Yong'an looked as if he couldn't do anything about his love, and raised his voice: "Let the steward of Baixi Theater arrange a show to add to the fun, as long as it can keep Shunxi from getting sleepy, I will reward you."

Zhuo Ji smiled with satisfaction.

Soon, the program of Baixifang came up, which was a cheerful dance.Zhuo Ji didn't feel sleepy this time, and watched with relish.The stewards of Baixifang also made sufficient preparations. None of the performances today were exposed, and they covered everything that should be covered.When the dance was over, Zhuo Ji applauded.Emperor Yong'an immediately acted like a fool and said, "Reward."

The six dancers and three male dancers who performed immediately knelt down and kowtowed to thank each other.

By the way, I don't fall asleep anymore, and the people who will perform in the future are even more energetic, and I must not make me fall asleep after watching it!For the subsequent programs, as long as Zhuo Ji applauds, Emperor Yong'an will reward.Regarding this, the Empress Dowager, Huangguixie, Deguixie and Xiguifei kept smiling on their faces, and accompanied Zhuo Ji and His Majesty to play the game of the emperor's favor.During this period, I originally prepared a program to take this opportunity to let His Majesty notice that none of my concubines dared to play again. Yan Xuan's end was a warning to them. No one can guarantee it. I carefully prepared it. Will the show provoke yawns from Shun Yu?

The last performance was over, and it was getting late.Emperor Yong'an got up and prepared to go back to his bedroom.Zhuo Ji lived in Fengtian Temple, so naturally he went back with him.Before leaving, De Guixie whispered to Zhuo Ji, "Leave it to me."Zhuo Ji gave him a slight nod, and followed Emperor Yong'an away.Huangguixie and Deguixie left Fengtian Hall together. At the gate of Huayang Palace, Huangguixie got off the ceremonial chariot, and Deguixie also stepped down.

"Your Excellency, I am pregnant now, since you are already confinement, you need to worry about things in this palace."

"Serving yourself, I would like to obey the decree of 俍俍yi."

Deguixie watched Huangguixie enter Huayang Palace, and he got on the chariot again and returned to the palace.

On the side of the Fengtian Palace bedroom, as soon as he entered the room, Emperor Yong'an lowered his face: "Zhang Xian!"

Zhang Xian immediately stepped forward, without the emperor asking, he just said directly: "Long live, Yan Dounan usually rarely steps out of the palace gate except to pay respects to the queen mother, imperial concubine, and noble concubine. But he He behaved quite strangely in the palace, and the palace people in his palace said that he often burned some paper behind his back, which was yellow paper."

Emperor Yong'an kicked a stool over.Zhang Xian hurriedly lifted up the stool, and said, "Long live, servant girl, this Yan Dounan has always harbored malice towards Shunji in his heart. What happened just now, he was not only making things difficult for Shunji, but also to reconcile the noble lady. Gui Xie and the former son gave Shun Xie some eye drops, clearly trying to provoke the close relationship between the two of them and Shun Xie. Presenting dances, but performing dances to Shunji, what would others think? Not to mention, Long Live, you have clearly made an order to keep your mouth shut, and you must not publicize that Shunji has cured mumps. He is clearly disregarding The Holy Will deliberately pushed Shun Yu to the front of the stage."

Zhang Xian could see it, but how could Emperor Yong'an not see it.If it weren't for Han Zheng's meritorious service to the country and being a courtier he valued, Emperor Yong'an would have thrown Yan Xuan into the cold palace long ago, how could he be allowed to be a monster again and again!

Zhang Xian poured a cup of tea for Wansui, and said in a low voice: "Long live, this servant knows that you despise Yan Dounan, but it's just because of Mr. Han's affection as a monarch and minister, you still give Yan Dounan a bit of dignity. But servant, look at this Yan Dounan was afraid that he was ill, so he would talk nonsense at the palace banquet."

Emperor Yong'an narrowed his eyes coldly: "If you are sick, go to the doctor. You go and tell the empress, and find the imperial doctor to treat Yan Xuan's illness well!"

"Yes."

Zhang Xian left.After waiting for a while, Zhuo Ji came in.He resumed his usual attire, wearing plain clothes and ordinary clothes. It was Feng Xi who brought him in.Zhuo Ji has been sleeping on the dragon bed in Fengtian Palace, but this matter must be kept secret.The palace banquet was held in Fengtian Hall, and he could not come until everyone left and the irrelevant palace people were dismissed.As soon as Zhuo Ji saw Emperor Yong'an, he sat on Emperor Yong'an's lap and wrapped his arms around his neck.

"Your Majesty, before Brother Yue gives birth, you should not let him participate in palace activities."

Emperor Yong'an: "Aren't you angry?"

Zhuo Ji smiled, rubbed his fingers on Emperor Yong'an's neck, and said, "Didn't your majesty vent your anger on me? If I'm angry with him, I might as well be so angry that your majesty withdrew my drink tonight."

Emperor Yong'an lowered his head to kiss Zhuo Ji, Zhuo Ji tapped his lips with his fingers: "Your Majesty, you must not be angry with someone I hate."

Pulling away Zhuo Ji's hand, Emperor Yong'an said: "If you are not angry, I will not be angry. From now on, you will be more domineering, indulgent, and self-willed. Only I can bully my beloved servant."

"How will His Majesty bully me?"

Emperor Yong'an kissed Zhuo Ji.

After the Double Ninth Festival, he rested for three days, but Emperor Yong'an was very tired that day, Zhuo Ji only allowed him to come once in the evening, and the time was not long, only half an hour.After that, the two lay on the dragon bed and soon both fell asleep.At dawn the next day, Emperor Yong'an got out of bed lightly, not waking up the person who fell asleep only early in the morning.When Zhuo Ji slept with Emperor Yong'an, he had the best sleep quality, but at night he always couldn't sleep well, so even if Emperor Yong'an was by his side, he couldn't get up early the next day.

Zhang Xian and Feng Xi also gently helped the Holy Majesty to wash and dress.Emperor Yong'an didn't have breakfast in Fengtian Hall, he went to Shoukang Palace to pay his respects to the Queen Mother, and ate there by the way.

When the meal was delivered, the Empress Dowager shunned the palace people around her, leaving only Shen Gu.When Emperor Yong'an slowed down to eat, the Empress Dowager said, "My lord, Han Zheng's wife handed Wei Niang a sign early in the morning, and wanted to enter the palace to pay her respects. Wei Niang hasn't returned her yet."

Emperor Yong'an immediately turned cold, and put down the bowl and chopsticks: "Why, are you here to intercede with Yanxuan, or to apologize to Shunxuan?"

Queen Mother: "I'm afraid there are all of them."

Emperor Yong'an: "If it weren't for the fact that Han Zheng is useful to me, I would have thrown Yan Xuan into the sidelines long ago! How dare he provoke my patience time and time again! Han Zheng also doesn't think that without him, no one can use me!"

The queen mother understood: "Then it's gone. I was busy all day yesterday, and my mother is also a little tired."

Emperor Yong'an picked up the bowl and chopsticks again, and the Empress Dowager didn't say anything more.After Emperor Yong'an finished his meal, the Empress Dowager asked Aunt Shen, Zhang Xian, and Feng Xi to step down and sit with the Emperor on the Arhat Bed in the East Pavilion of Shoukang Palace. Gui Xie and the others can also understand it clearly. But no matter how much you spoil him, it's not as safe as if he has a strong natal family."

Emperor Yong'an looked at the empress mother, and the empress dowager said: "Zhuo Ji hates the Zhuo family, and the Zhuo family really can't support the wall. If you don't need it, the emperor, you don't need it. But there is no natal family to rely on. No matter how capable Zhuo Ji is, you can pamper him again." There is no guarantee that others will not plot against him. Huang Guixie and Guixie are clear about it now, but when they grow up with King Qin and the others, can they still be as clear as they are now? At that time, Zhuo Ji will only have you to protect him. Come on, it's not enough."

Emperor Yong'an put down the tea bowl.The queen mother had no natal family to rely on, even if she was honored as the queen mother, she had nothing to do with the Cheng family at first.The Empress Dowager knows best how difficult it is to walk in the Danyang Palace without the support of her natal family.Emperor Yong'an naturally understood the meaning of his mother's words, he asked: "What does that mother mean?"

Queen Mother: "Didn't you say that Lin Yi and Qin Zhongyi all know Shunxi's abilities more or less? Why don't you let the Lin family or the Qin family marry Shunxi?"

"No!" Emperor Yong'an refused without thinking.Before the Queen Mother asked the reason, Emperor Yong'an said by himself: "Lin Xieshan's nephew Lei Cong and Zhuo Ji have known each other since they were young, and that kid has special thoughts on Zhuo Ji. Everyone in the Qin family is black and white. Ji is married to them, doesn't that mean that my beloved servant comes from the Qin family? I can't afford to lose that person."

The Queen Mother was speechless.

Emperor Yong'an picked up the tea bowl again: "Mother, as long as what I sent Lin Xieshan and Lin Yi to do can be done, no one can shake Zhuo Ji's position in Danyang Palace. Even if Huang Guixie and the others get confused in the future, they will move Zhuo Ji can't do without a single finger. If I can't even protect him, how can I expand the territory and dominate the world."

The queen mother exclaimed: "Is what Lin Xieshan did so important?"

Emperor Yong'an nodded solemnly: "As long as it can be done, my boy is a promise, and no one in the court will dare to disobey my boy."

The queen mother was overjoyed, and put her hands together: "Bodhisattva bless you, ancestors bless you, send Zhuo Ji to my son."

As far as Emperor Yong'an's words were concerned, the Empress Dowager didn't care about Yan Xuan's affairs.Yanxuan has his own imperial concubine and noble concubine to deal with.After talking with his mother, Emperor Yong'an was ready to return to Fengtian Hall.At this time, a notification came from outside, Shi Fangyun came to greet the Queen Mother.Emperor Yong'an's eyes were clearly bored, but he still acquiesced in letting Shi Fangyun in.

Shi Fangyun walked in, holding the maid's hand with one hand and holding her belly in the other, to greet the queen mother and the emperor.Emperor Yong'an looked normal, and the Empress Dowager also smiled lightly.As soon as she sat down here, the Queen Mother said: "Your body is getting heavier and heavier, so you don't need to come to pay your respects every day."

Shi Fangyun looked at His Majesty affectionately, and said sincerely: "Fangyun lives in Shoukang Palace, how can she not come to pay her respects to the Queen Mother just because she is pregnant." She looked at Emperor Yong'an, "Fangyun is also very rich. I haven't seen His Majesty for a few days, and His Majesty is busy with state affairs, so you should pay attention to the dragon's body."

Emperor Yong'an nodded, but said: "You talk to the queen mother, you are heavy, and you have to be careful before giving birth. I promised Huang Guixie to go to his palace, and I will go there first."

Shi Fangyun was extremely wronged immediately, but he still supported the maid's hand and stood up to send the emperor respectfully.After leaving Shoukang Palace, Emperor Yong'an went to Huayang Palace.Although Huang Guixie is the deputy queen, she is not a serious queen after all, and has no right to live in Houde Palace.However, thinking that there was a baby mummy hidden in the Houde Palace, the noble concubine also felt disgusted and didn't want to live in it.

In Huayang Palace, Ming Xie, De Gui Xie and Xi Gui Concubine are all there.De Guixie even hugged His Royal Highness over.A few people were chatting happily, but they didn't expect His Majesty to come over.There is usually little movement between the maid and the concubines, but the imperial concubine is now in charge of the central palace, and the noble concubine Xi wants to come over to pay his respects, so it is normal to stay and chat for a while.

Different from seeing Shi Fangyun, Emperor Yong'an was in a good mood seeing these people, and said as soon as he came in: "All of you are here, I will save trouble."

The four laughed, Emperor Yong'an sat with Huang Guixie across the kang table, in front of them were Deguixie, Xiguifei and Mingxie.As soon as Emperor Yong'an sat down, he said: "Ming Xi, you are getting heavy, so you should have a good pregnancy in the palace before giving birth."

The noble lady continued: "The servant just told him that there is no need to come to pay his respects. There will be no ceremonies in the palace for him to show up."

Mingyu said shyly: "The servant is bored sitting in the room. The weather is just right at this time, and he wants to come out to get some air. It's because Shunzhen is too worried about the servant."

Emperor Yong'an: "He's not worried about you, but loves you. This is your first child, so you'd better pay attention."

"Yes."

Huang Guixie glanced at Deguixie, and said, "Your Majesty, Yan Xuan is ill. He was still able to dance last night, but he was so sick this morning that he couldn't come to bed. Your Xie asked Wei Medical Order to treat him , Doctor Wei ordered him to say that his five senses were out of balance and he needed rest."

Emperor Yong'an nodded, and said to Deguixie: "Your imperial concubine is pregnant, so you should worry more about the affairs of your maid. Since you need to rest, let him have a good child and take care of it. Please excuse me."

"Yes. The servant has also given the same order. The servant also specially sent a few people who are more active to serve."

Emperor Yong'an still nodded, and looked at Concubine Xi Gui: "You can't be tired of recuperating now. Shi Fangyun is born, so send her to Concubine Wen or Concubine Xiao's palace."

Concubine Xi revealed a sweet smile: "Yes."

The imperial concubine said: "It's really inappropriate for Shi Fangyun to give birth in the Empress Dowager's Shoukang Palace. When she is about to give birth, let her go to Xiaopin's palace. Xiaopin's mind is more cautious than Wenpin's. After all, Shi Fangyun has to give birth. I have to take care of the third princess, I'm afraid I won't have time to take care of her."

Emperor Yong'an: "Just do as you say."

After sitting for half an hour, Deguixie, Xiguifei and Mingyu left first.As soon as they left, Emperor Yong'an said to Huang Guixie: "The imperial order of the Zhuo family was given by Emperor Mingzong, but what the Zhuo family did in the inner house is really not worthy of the status of the imperial order."

Your Majesty understands that His Majesty is going to take action against the Zhuo family, he said: "The inner house of the Zhuo family, including Zhuo Shuzhen, have said more than once that Your Majesty will definitely choose the daughter of the Zhuo family to enter the palace. Speculate on the Sacred Heart. It's just that due to Shunxi's status, it's inconvenient for the servants to reprimand him."

Emperor Yong'an put the tea bowl on the kang table forcefully: "What does Shunxi's identity have to do with his Zhuo family? The brother of the Zhuo family, who is a dignified Zhuo family, but at the age of seven or eight, he has to find a way to go outside to earn money and find food. Think To read a book, he can only go to the bookstore to borrow it by himself! He can’t even get the money to buy the book! Why does he use goose feathers to write? It’s because he doesn’t have a pen, ink, paper and inkstone! ! If you meet someone who is stupid and lazy, the person who transcribes will be fooled by him first as far as his handwriting is concerned."

"There is such a thing?" Huang Guixie was really surprised, "I only know that Shunxi will go to the theater to listen to music before entering the palace, so that I can sleep well, but I don't know how well he is living in Zhuo's house." It is so miserable, no wonder he hates the Zhuo family. This family member of the Zhuo family really can't afford to be such a gentleman." As for Zhuo Ji's intelligence, Huang Guixie has a further understanding.Zhuo Ji just went to the bookstore to borrow books, and was admitted as a scholar. He was still 13 years old!It can be seen from this that Zhuo Ji's knowledge is completely learned by himself. If so... Huang Guixie took a deep breath in his heart, Zhuo Ji is definitely a child prodigy!No, he is more powerful than a child prodigy!This child prodigy can't just go to the bookstore to borrow books, he can dispense medicine and perform surgery!
