reincarnated as king

"Sir, this way please."

In the Wanxin Garden in the imperial city of the capital, contrary to the usual strict and noble royal regulations, exquisite and elegant utensils are arranged everywhere, adding a sense of tranquility to the elegance and beauty.At the gate, palace maids and housekeepers are coming and going, and there is a hint of sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance in the air.

When Liu Zhen got out of the carriage and came to Wanxin Garden, he saw such a scene through the flowers and plants.

The capital of the Jin Dynasty was located in the center of the country near the east, adjacent to the Xia River among the four rivers.The imperial city is located in the center of the capital and close to the north, followed by Tianqing Mountain.Although Wanxin Garden is the largest garden in the Imperial City, it is not located in the Forbidden Palace of the Imperial City, but on the west side of the Forbidden Palace.Liu Zhen walked for an hour in the carriage before arriving at the gate of Wanxinyuan.

After Wanxin Garden and the Nine Gates and Five Bridges of the Imperial City, the architectural style of the Wenhua Palace where hundreds of officials went to court is obviously different.All kinds of beautiful trees and fragrant treasures are planted here. Under the careful arrangement of skilled craftsmen, they show the posture of gathering thousands of fragrances, and quietly reveal the royal sense of heavenly power.

At the door, the eunuch Bunin, acting chief of ceremonies, was smiling all over the steps, welcoming every visitor respectfully.At this time, dozens of carriages, large and small, had already parked in front of the gate, almost filling up the open space.

On the huge bluestone steps in front of the door, there are three or four guests who have not yet entered the garden, exchanging greetings there, all of them are gorgeously dressed, elegantly moved, and have an extraordinary temperament.Liu Zhen took a quick glance and noticed that apart from unmarried people like himself, many of the visitors brought their family members, and some even brought their beautiful young daughters.

It seems that this time the banquet in the palace also has a sense of a relationship between the younger generation.

Seeing all this, Liu Zhen straightened his clothes, and followed a eunuch calmly into it.

This day is August [-]th, which coincides with the Mid-Autumn Festival.Bei Gongdi saw the sweet-scented osmanthus blooming in Wanxin Garden, and thought of the old etiquette, so he invited all the officials of the third rank and above in the capital, some Hanlin students, and royal relatives to enjoy the flowers and feast in Wanxin Garden.It also took the meaning of Mid-Autumn Festival reunion, so a clause was attached to the edict that you can bring your family members to the banquet together.

Although it is rare to see a royal banquet, it is the first time since Bei Gongdi ascended the throne. The invitations are all people with high positions in the current officialdom, or those who will lead the officialdom in the future. The meaning of it is different. It speaks for itself.Liu Zhen is currently the editor of the Imperial Academy. Although he is only from the fifth grade, he is favored by the prince and grand teacher Chen Xiayang, and he is even more valued by Bei Gongdi.Liu Zhen himself has outstanding talent and virtuosity, and later generations have the reputation of "the number one talented scholar in the Jin Dynasty".He also received invitations to this royal banquet.

If it is said that the Wenhua Hall within the nine gates of the Forbidden Palace, together with the Jingxin Hall and Jingyang Palace in the Forbidden Palace, were all built according to the system, and the sacred emperor's majesty, majesty, and solemn grace were vividly displayed, this Wan Xin The garden is ingeniously crafted, integrating changing scenery with steps and grandeur and luxury, and is the pinnacle of gardening.

Liu Zhen watched with a calm expression while admiring in his heart. He walked through the promenade and came to the depths of the garden. Among the blooming osmanthus, there was a huge courtyard.There are no walls around the courtyard, but rows of lush osmanthus trees with white flowers and shadows.

Outside the table, some people were chatting in twos and threes.There were also some juniors who were invited to the side hall next to them.It was not yet time, when Liu Zhen saw those people, he immediately went up to salute and started talking.

Fang Jingxuan walked on the pebbled path, crossed the bridge and corridor, followed Zuo Chang who led the way, and came to the depths of Wanxin Garden.Osmanthus osmanthus is planted here for several miles, and it looks like a vast expanse, red as fire.Fang Jingxuan had just walked out of the cave, but what he saw was standing alone under the osmanthus tree.

In the sunlight, Bei Gongdi was smiling, looking at the boy who was rushing towards holding a flower, caressed his head affectionately, took the osmanthus flower, looked up and saw Fang Jingxuan who came out of the quiet garden .

Fang Jingxuan was wearing a well-formed blue robe today, with an outstanding figure, a high crown on her head, her blue hair tied up neatly, and her eyes were deep and gently fluctuating.Standing there, he has not yet walked into the sunlight, behind him is a patchwork of elegant buildings, but it seems like an exiled fairy walking out of an ancient painting, with an aura of being out of the world.Ten steps apart, the two faced each other from a distance, their eyes turned and met.At that moment, both of them felt that they had seen the most beautiful scenery for each other.

Not far behind Bei Gongdi, stood a gentle and dignified young woman, dressed in a crimson robe, with a phoenix flower on her forehead.Fang Jingxuan didn't know why, but felt that the harmony of the Supreme Heavenly Family in that scene under the sun was slightly dazzling.

Bei Gongdi was wearing a black dragon robe, and the golden red piping fit properly to set off his solemn dignity and majesty of the emperor.However, Bei Gongdi looked at Fang Jingxuan quietly, but couldn't help but deepen his smile. In the falling flowers, the sudden wind that blew up did not know whose ripples were touched.

Fang Jingxuan paused for only a moment, then walked towards Bei Gongdi among the trees.He was about to salute and pay homage, but Bei Gongdi quickly helped him up, and the two of them separated as soon as their hands touched.Bei Gongdi turned sideways, put his right hand on the shoulder of the boy who had just reached his waist, and said to him: "This is Master Fang Jingxuan, and he will be your enlightenment teacher next year."

Fang Jingxuan's heart skipped a beat, the implication was that next year, that is, the first year of Qianning, he would be granted the official position of second-rank prince and third prince.However, he didn't dare to be negligent, even though his heart was complicated, he bowed politely and said: "See the prince and queen! I dare not be a minister!"

The boy in the golden gown looked at him curiously, and a vivid color flashed in the pair of phoenix eyes that resembled Bei Gongdi.The crown prince's name is Beigong Yuming, and he is the eldest son of Beigongdi. He is six years old this year. When Beigongdi came to the throne, he was also canonized as the crown prince.Originally, Chen Xiayang had always been responsible for enlightening Beigong Yuming, but because of Chen Xiayang's farewell, Beigongdi wanted to find another mentor for him.

Bei Gongdi signaled the queen to take the prince back.Fang Jingxuan followed him, step by step.Bei Gongdi wandered casually among the trees, and said leisurely: "I heard about 'Osmanthus fragrans fall in leisure time'. In the early years, I saw a poem written by my husband. The quality of the writing was outstanding, and I was very fond of it. An article?"

Fang Jingxuan glanced at him, and said: "When I was young, I was frivolous. I played and gambled with everyone, which made Your Majesty laugh. I think this is a book that pays attention to the time and the matter. The writing is full of thoughts, and it is written in the sky. Good, sincerity is paramount.”

Bei Gongdi stopped, and waited for him to walk beside him before he said: "At this moment, doesn't Xiaofu have any true thoughts in his heart?"

The two stood on the hill, and there was already a bright ocean in front of them. The bright leaves were shining brightly, and the autumn maple was like fire. In the distance, it was connected to Tianqing Mountain, as if there was no limit.When Fang Jingxuan first saw such a grand scene between heaven and earth, he was fascinated for a moment, with a shocked expression on his face.The color of autumn is beautiful, but the taste is expensive and light.When he came back to his senses, he looked at Bei Gongdi's side face. The man seemed to be in a very good mood, and the spirit in his eyes made him a little dazed.

Fang Jingxuan said softly: "It shakes the soul and makes a good writing. This shock, of course."

Bei Gongdi looked at him sideways, but saw that Fang Jingxuan did not dodge or dodge, the red leaves and flowers were reflected in his black pupils, as if his heart was tinged with fire.Bei Gongdi didn't know why, and asked suddenly: "Madam Fang, Kong Jia, and Kong Yi are also here?"

Fang Jingxuan said: "I am here by invitation."

Bei Gongdi's heart suddenly felt a little astringent, but Fang Jingxuan took a step closer.Bei Gongdi retreated slightly, and said: "Fang Kongyi is only seven years old, how about entering the palace to serve as the prince's attendant?"

Fang Jingxuan said: "This is what His Majesty wants to say?"

A look of panic flashed in Bei Gongdi's eyes, Fang Jingxuan locked his eyes, but he couldn't see what the emotion in Fang Jingxuan's eyes represented.Bei Gongdi slightly staggered his gaze, but Fang Jingxuan took advantage of the situation to bully him.Bei Gongdi subconsciously took a step back, but unexpectedly stepped on a dead tree and made a crisp sound.

The emotion in Fang Jingxuan's eyes dissipated all of a sudden, and Bei Gongdi felt that he had reacted after knowing it. He was actually forced to take a step back by his courtiers. Is it so difficult to write an article!" But he didn't wait for Fang Jingxuan's answer, he changed the topic and talked about other things.

At three o'clock in the application time, everyone was already sitting in the seats, and Bei Gongdi finally arrived late with the queen and prince.He accepted everyone's salute, and then signaled: "Today is a family banquet, and I will enjoy the moon and drink wine with all my lovers, and have fun together! No need to stick to the etiquette, come here, pass on the smell!"

Sharp-eyed people naturally saw that Fang Jingxuan only appeared a little earlier than Bei Gongdi, so they had some guesses.Fang Jingxuan is currently the Secretary of the Ministry of Rites. He walks in the Jingxin Palace and is often invited into the palace by Bei Gongdi. His seat is at the front of the table, facing Chen Xiayang.Today, Chen Xiayang was wearing a purple Confucian shirt, which lost the color of the city in the past, but he was also very polite. The two toasted each other from a distance, feeling quite emotional.

"This first glass of wine, worship the moon!" Bei Gongdi said, and then the officials raised their glasses to worship the sky, and drank it with him.

Although Chen Xiayang recommended Fang Jingxuan to Bei Gongdi as a "National Scholar", but it was Liu Zhen who he really liked and cultivated as a disciple.

"This second glass of wine is to celebrate this autumn harvest, and the common people will be safe!" Bei Gongdi said again.

Amidst the intermingling of cups and cups, exquisite delicacies were presented one after another, but Bei Gongdi felt a little uninspired.Sitting next to Jingxuan above the table was his wife Guo Luoshi, who was also the biological mother of Fang Kongjia and Kong Yi. This was the first time Bei Gongdi saw her.

Guo Luoshi was born in a scholarly family. Although her appearance is not exceptional, her gentle temperament makes people feel very comfortable. In the previous life, she was also the kind of woman who was pleasing to the eye and moved by Bei Gongdi, who had a romantic personality.But now, Bei Gongdi didn't feel it at all, seeing that although the couple's expressions were not very intimate, they were extremely natural and harmonious, and there was a strange feeling in his heart. on the track.

Fang Jingxuan watched Bei Gongdi sitting at the head with cold eyes, serving dishes for the prince himself. The stunningly beautiful and elegant queen Chen Peihua sat beside him, looking at them with a gentle look in her eyes.He frowned slightly, then opened again, and drank the sweet-scented osmanthus wine in his hand.But the inexplicable glare in my heart is always there, and it can't be eliminated.
