There was a fire burning in the brazier, and the three princesses gathered around the brazier to keep warm. In fact, they were not cold, because the house they lived in was a firehouse specially renovated by the emperor. It was quite warm, but they had just gone out to play games.
I just felt a little cold.
"It's holiday soon, what are you two planning to do next?" Yongning asked.
Jin Yang smiled and said: "Why, you can't wait to bribe us to cover for you."
"What kind of cover are you using?" Yong Ning blushed.
"What...is that Xue?" Yunyang tilted his little head, thinking.
"Don't say it!" Yongning went to pinch Yunyang's face in embarrassment, but she dodged him.
"Hehe, sister is not shy." Yunyang said playfully, stroking his little face with his little finger.
Yongning glared at her and confessed: "Okay, I admit, I have this intention. My mother-in-law doesn't allow me to leave the palace at will, so you have to help me."
Jin Yang said: "Sister, I am really shameless. My father hasn't granted me a marriage yet."
"Li Ruyi!" Yongning looked at his little sister.
"You're kidding." Jinyang stuck out his tongue and smiled.
Yongning hummed: "Don't be proud, you will get married in a few years."
Hearing this, Jinyang wrinkled his nose and said, "I don't want it."
"Why? You want to become a monk," Yongning said.
Jin Yang dragged his chin with his little hands and sighed: "It's so boring. I haven't seen anyone interesting yet."
"There is no such thing as a perfect husband, right?" Yong Ning felt that he had found a way to tease his sister.
"That's right." Jinyang sighed.
The conversations between the sisters have always been more candid, and they are not as shy as in front of outsiders. Especially, there are very few princesses of the right age in the palace, and the relationship between the three sisters has always been very good.
"That's right." Yunyang imitated his sister and sighed.
Jinyang glanced at her and said, "Don't think that you are still young, you will have this day too."
"A little bit." Yunyang made a naughty voice.
Too lazy to talk to the little sisters, Jinyang fell into distress. She was already thirteen years old, and she was already getting married at this age. However, because the emperor doted on her, she never mentioned it. However, this did not mean that she could
Let yourself go.
As the emperor's legitimate daughter, her marriage is destined to be taken seriously by the courtiers. Empress Yang has already reminded her to take it seriously.
However, she had never thought of such a thing before.
What to do?
"Why, are you thinking of yourself?" Yongning asked happily.
Jin Yang asked: "Sister, what do you like about Xue Li?"
Yongning blushed, "Ahem, I won't tell you."
She wouldn't call that person stupid and cute.
Jinyang: "..."
"By the way, I heard that boy from the Qin family seems to like you very much." Yongning tried to change the subject.
"Qin Huaiyu?"
"Um."
Jin Yang stretched out his hand and leaned against the brazier and said calmly: "I'm not sure."
"What about you?"
"Me? What?" Jin Yang was puzzled.
"What do you think of Qin Huaiyu?" Yongning asked.
Jin Yang thought for a while and said, "I don't have any opinion."
"Actually, in terms of family background, he is indeed not very good, but Yue Gong is an old minister of my father, so he is not bad, and Qin Huaiyu is also a good match." Yongning said.
Jin Yang complained: "There are too many good matches, right?"
"Maybe." Yongning just mentioned Qin Huaiyu casually, without any other meaning.
Manna Hall.
In this winter month, the emperor was still handling government affairs. After becoming emperor, Li Zhiyun had become accustomed to his work content. Occasionally, he would understand a little bit about those emperors who were diligent in the early stage and lazy in the later stage.
Please imagine, when you become the emperor of the most powerful empire in the world, with invincible opponents all over the world, as long as you develop step by step, the empire will become stronger day by day. Do you still have any passion for struggle?
Moreover, if the emperor works for a long time, he will inevitably become inert. Because the emperor has unlimited power, he has basically tried everything that should be played and enjoyed.
So, what should you do when you are bored?
Be a carpenter?
Or running around?
The more he thought about it, the more Li Zhiyun admired Qin Shi Huang. He handled the empire's government affairs day after day and made the empire stronger day after day.
And what about yourself?
If he hadn't had a lofty goal in mind, I'm afraid he would have chosen to live in a dream.
Being a promising king is bound to be hard work.
Two hours later, Li Zhiyun finished processing the last memorial, stood up, stretched his muscles and bones, and let out a long breath.
"Let's go out and take a look." He ordered Gao Liangzhong, and he walked away.
"Yes." Gao Liangzhong hurriedly bowed and followed the emperor.
Having served the emperor for such a long time, he also knew some of the emperor's habits. If government affairs were handled for too long, the emperor would go out for a walk to relax.
It's frosty outside, and the climate has become colder, but it's still within the acceptable range. The market price of briquettes has been kept very low at the moment, in order to make it more convenient for the people. In addition, the production of woolen clothes and other items has also been further opened up.
.
Everything will eventually get better and better.
"Your Majesty, would you like some more clothes?" Gao Liangzhong asked carefully.
"No, I'm not cold." Li Zhiyun waved his hands and swung his arms as he walked, just to move his muscles. Although tables and chairs have become commonplace, if he sits for a long time, Li Zhiyun will inevitably have something written in the diary of a certain master.
Symptom: 'My buttocks hurt when I sit down.'.
Li Zhiyun walked in front alone, followed by the chambermaids and maids behind him. There was a long procession. Wherever they went, the chamberlains and maids bowed their heads and saluted.
When you go out of Ganlu Hall and turn right, you will see the Confucius Temple. Li Zhiyun looked here for a while, then passed the Confucius Temple and arrived at Anren Gate. Entering from Anren Gate, you will find the Princess Courtyard and Qianqiu Hall.
As soon as I walked to Anren Gate, I heard the clear laughter of several daughters coming from inside.
Walking into it, you can see many palace maids playing hide and seek with their three daughters.
Li Zhiyun signaled Gao Liangzhong to keep quiet, watched in secret for a while, turned around and left without disturbing his daughters.
As they get older, the daughters become more sensible, and they seldom enjoy playing with their doting father as they did when they were children.
Li Zhiyun knows that he is the emperor and his father. The emperor is in front and the father is behind. Although sometimes he doesn't mind this relationship, his wives will remind their daughter from time to time.
The saying that emperors are all lonely is true to a certain extent.
However, some sadness is inevitable.
Although neither Jinyang, Yongning, nor the young Yunyang showed any alienation, they could no longer play with them as carelessly as before.
When children grow up and become sensible, they need to understand the rules.
This is inevitable, but it always makes people very sad.
With that indescribable feeling, Li Zhiyun returned to Ganlu Hall and returned to his busy work.
What he didn't know was that Jin Yang and others actually discovered that he had been there.
"Father must be in a bad mood." Jin Yang said as he stood at Anren Gate, looking at his father's back.
Yongning nodded, "I think so too. In the past, my father would definitely play with us."
Yunyang said in a low voice: "Mother and Concubine said that you cannot disturb the father."
Jin Yang said: "Father, it's actually very hard."
She once saw her father dealing with government affairs late into the night. She felt distressed and helpless because she could not help him.
"I think what we can do is not to cause any trouble to our father."
