Zhou Tian was lying outside, with her right hand supporting her head and lying outward. There was a heavy industrial book on the bed. Under the bed was a one-meter-high candlestick. She was half covered with a brocade quilt, flipping through the pages of the book with her left hand, frowning.
Shen Fei's hands were folded on his abdomen habitually, and the silver-white palace robes moved slightly. His eyes as sharp as the moonlight looked at the image of the five dragons hovering above his head. The flying clouds were swaying among the dragons, vividly.
He tilted his head slightly and couldn't see anything except his back, but he could imagine that Zhou Tian must be very serious, with his mouth closed tightly, his brows furrowed, and his eyes eager to chew all the words thoroughly. Since when did he stop being interested in sex?
Shen Fei looked at her back quietly, the temperature of the people around her was as low as cold light. She returned from Heji two summers ago. She became interested in military affairs and stocked up on food and grass. The South Workshop was rebuilt, and the new military camp was built in the city of Perseverance. The weapons produced in his hands shocked King Xiping of the Moon Kingdom and successfully defeated the Moon Kingdom's tentative invasion.[
His good calligraphy, his proud temperament, the queen he protected, and his knowledge were displayed in front of the ministers for the first time.
From that time on, he seemed to have abandoned the entire harem and focused all his energy on politics. At that time, everyone thought it was another conspiracy of the prince, but now he shines above all the ministers and is a well-deserved leader of the Yan Kingdom. emperor.
In the winter two years ago, he was the salvation of Yan Country, giving Yan Country, which had been barren for fifty years, a chapter of food and clothing. He even went to most of Yan Country to share the suffering of the people, captured the Four Seasons City, and opened up the country. The second largest granary in the Flame Kingdom begins the first step of integrating the first-class concubines of the Flame Kingdom.
Who would have thought that he, now a toddler, would have grown so fast. He could understand heavy academic books, read uncomplicated documents, and create weapons that made Ouyang Niyu timid. It seemed like overnight, He has lost his former ruthlessness and looks like a monarch who has reformed his evil ways and returned to righteousness.
If it weren't for his familiar aura and his martial arts skills, Shen Fei would doubt if the person in front of him was the prince who made them miserable in the past. Now standing next to the emperor, who would have imagined what he looked like three years ago. When he was serious, , he is the most dazzling dawn, that light seems to be able to penetrate the thick fog in the morning and illuminate the world in an instant.
Shen Fei did not deny that he admired the current emperor even more. He was diligent and wise without losing his self. When he sent the army off to the battle, he was also looking at him in the crowd of thousands. He was wearing a dragon robe and was calm and proud in front of everyone. He personally sent his army off. When he went on an expedition, there was no trace of his past at that time, and he could even hear the people around him worshiping him with heartfelt surrender.
He changed. He became unprepared. Shen Fei stretched out his hand in a daze to touch his overly calm back, but stopped blankly. He knew that the emperor had no intention of letting him sleep with him, but he just wanted to stay here. After confirming his feelings, the emperor was right, but why did the generous emperor now make him more restrained? He always felt that there was a distance between them, but this distance made them eager to break it, and even panicked.
It's panic! Shen Fei smiled bitterly. He didn't expect that one day they who hated the palace the most would hesitate when they could leave. Yes, no one would hesitate when facing him who was chatting and laughing and ruling the world. No one would not follow the strong, but they and the emperor were on this level Relationships allow this kind of following to take on a more intimate form.
Shen Fei turned his head hesitantly and looked at the top of the bed again. He was afraid that the figure who was not sleeping would destroy his pride that had finally healed. It was so late and he was still busy. In the past, he must have tortured seven or eight people to death. Shen Fei Fei seemed to think that thinking like this could reduce the pressure on him from Eternal Sky. Sun Qingmu liked him, right? Shen Fei still remembered Sun Qingmu's panic at that moment, unabashedly and sincerely.
Shen Fei felt relieved again. It was easy to fall in love with the current emperor, not to mention that they were his forbidden wives.
Shen Fei fell asleep slowly, as sharp as he was, until he was awakened by Eunuch Rong lifting the bed curtain, and he suddenly woke up: "Where is the emperor?"
Eunuch Rong hurriedly said: "Go back to your master, the emperor has gone to court early. I think the court will be dismissed soon. Do you want to see the emperor?" Eunuch Rong looked at his master eagerly and happily. He was ordered to come to the emperor's palace to serve his master early in the morning. Don't mention it. How happy.
Shen Fei inadvertently looked at the burned out candles on the bedside, and then at the bookmarks sandwiched between the heavy industrial books on the bedside. Shen Fei could vaguely see the emperor sitting majestically in the court after not sleeping all night, shocking everyone. He looks like this...
Eunuch Rong brought new clothes. Although the clothes on the master's body were not touched, he still had to change them. He whispered: "Master..."
Shen Fei gave a casual compliment, but his heart became even more confused. A voice played repeatedly: The emperor is a man...
…
On the same day, an unsigned letter quietly arrived on Sun Kangde's desk.
In the Sun Mansion, most of the veterans after the disbandment of the dynasty returned to their homes and no longer had to deal with government affairs in person. The elderly Sun Kangde naturally had this honor, so he returned to his study.
When he read the letters on the desk, great surprise and sadness suddenly appeared on his wrinkled but spirited face. It has been eight years since Qingmu left home. He has no marriage, no women, and no heirs. Your Majesty They could still attack when they were weak, but now they are only left with deep helplessness. Fortunately, God will not stop his Sun family...[
Mr. Sun almost immediately put away his emotion and went back to the palace to see the emperor. He did not need to question the credibility of the letter, and he would not regret his actions.
The letter states that the emperor has decided to disband the male servants in the harem. In the past two years, as many as a hundred men have left the palace. The departure of Zhao Han, Han Yan and Xu Gongzi is the message that the core of the three courtyards have begun to move out of the palace. After this, Mr. Jisun wanted to win a fortune for his son.
Zhou Tian looked at Sun Kangde who had put up the book requesting an audience and returned. He thought for a moment and asked Eunuch Lu to call him in first. Asking for an audience is like taking a bus. There is also a saying of respecting elders.
Sun Kangde came in with excited and trembling steps, and the determination on his face filled him with fighting spirit: "The humble minister meets the emperor, long live the emperor to tease the big thief."
Seeing him like this, Zhou Tian couldn't help but frowned. Could it be that he mentioned the draft again: "Sun Aiqing, please get up."
Sun Kangde did not stand up, but kowtowed again, resting his forehead on the ground, and pleading: "Your Majesty, I would like to ask you to leave the palace on behalf of Quanzi." After saying this, he kowtowed again with a bang.
Zhou Tian's expression calmed down when he heard this, his voice was cold and gentle, and he was armed with all the etiquette and etiquette that an emperor should have: "Have Aiqing discussed this with Sun Shilang?" After yesterday, Zhou Tian did not think that Sun Qingmu would leave the palace.
Sun Kangde lowered his head, with a trace of eagerness on his old face. He had been waiting for eight years and really wanted to take his son back: "Your Majesty, Quanzi's humble body is not enough to serve the Emperor. Now that the Emperor has a queen, Quanzi should not embarrass the mother of the country. I beg you. The emperor asked Wei Chen to take the dog away!"
Eunuch Lu swept away the dust and stared at the expression on the tips of his shoes.
Zhou Tian put down the ink pen, folded his hands on the table and looked at Mr. Sun below, and said with sincerity: "Sun Aiqing, I understand how you feel in your heart, but have you ever thought about the benefits to him of bringing Qingmu back?
Do you want him to be transferred outside?" If Sun Qingmu left the palace and was transferred outside, he would not have a good life.
Sun Kangde suddenly raised his head, stared at the table in front of the emperor and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I am willing to bid farewell to my hometown with Quanzi. I am already old and cannot serve the country. I am willing to live in seclusion with Quanzi. If your Majesty has any pity for the child,
Out of talent, I have the courage to ask the Emperor to grant Quanzi the title of county magistrate."
Sun Kangde is willing to risk everything. He is willing to ruin the Sun family's career and give up the Sun family's century-old glory. He also wants to take his son out and live a normal life!
Zhou Tian looked at the kneeling old man, with a calm expression on his face. Zhou Tian calmly weighed the value of Sun Qingmu in the harem last night. It is definitely better for Qingmu to be here than not. Having someone at ease around her to advise her on government affairs is far from being a courtier.
Comparable.
Zhou Tian looked at Sun Kangde, and she also understood the old man's persistence: "You want Qingmu to give up everything he has? You should know what his ideal is. He will not abandon the current Yanguo and live in seclusion with you; but he only wants to
Staying in the court is his only protection, at least as long as I live, no one dares to criticize him!"
This is also the reason why the three masters of the hospital and the high-status Duan Jingchen and others have not left the palace after careful consideration. Because they have nowhere to go, and their departure will have a bad impact on their families. At least Shen Chengan and Su Yongzhong will slowly fade away.
In the imperial court, because they have lost their role of conveying private opinions to the emperor in handling private matters, they will be replaced by a group of ministers with real talents and learning to make up for this loss.
Why didn't Sun Kangde understand his son's desire to serve the country? Back then, he entered the palace just because he wanted to leave something for the Yan Kingdom. Now that the Yan Kingdom can have many capable people and strangers emerge in its early days of prosperity, it is inseparable from the fact that many people like his son have the ability to retain their knowledge.
Scholar: "Your Majesty..."
Zhou Tian was the first to speak: "You can't impose your ideas on him, let alone make such a decision on his behalf. I admit that I don't want to lose Qingmu, but I also don't want him to lose your support."
Zhou Tian stood up and stood next to Sun Kangde with her hands behind her back as she spoke. She did not bend down to express her closeness or show affection for him. Her voice was no different from the one in the court: "Qingmu has served me for so many years, so naturally I will not treat him badly.
"
Then he said with an almost willful tone: "One day I will not let you regret leaving him by my side, let alone give your son a chance to be criticized. He will be the greatest hero of the Yan Kingdom, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he has power over the government and the public.
I hope you will not be rigid and deny your son a more suitable stage because of my presence."
Sun Kangde listened blankly to the words in his ears. The emperor had promised his son's future. If Qingmu was a daughter, this sentence would mean that Qingmu's heir would be made a prince in the future to appease him, but at this time, although it sounded frightening,
But seeing the importance the emperor attached to his son, which Sun Kangde and Yourong Yan felt was stuck in their throats, he didn't know what to do for a while.
Zhou Tian did not take advantage of the situation to pursue him, nor did he want to call Qing Mu to confront his father. That would only make it difficult for Qing Mu. Instead of doing that, it was better for her to deal with his father.
