The sun was shining brightly, and Mr. Long, wearing a silver fox cloak, appeared in the bustling city of Pingkangfang. Two tall servants beside him looked around with alert eyes.
This Pingkangfang was originally Yujifang, but it was renamed because the founding emperor Zhao Lu missed Pingkangfang, the Changan of the Tang Dynasty. At this time, Pingkangfang had developed into the largest romantic place in the Northern Dynasties. Looking around,
Eyes full of fragrant clothes and shadows on temples; listen quietly, surrounded by orioles and swallows.
There is an endless stream of elegant guests here, fairies with colorful ribbons fluttering by. Pavilions and pavilions are intertwined with each other, and people are rubbing their hair together in the flower corridors and waterside pavilions. Known as the city that never sleeps, the beautiful scene of hanging lights and colorful music and singing every night makes people forget to leave.
The wonderful programs in the evening fascinated Young Master Long, but due to his identity and being busy with affairs, it was a pity that he could not wait until evening. And this Young Master Long was none other than Emperor Wanlong Zhao Tian who was visiting privately incognito, with Huang Dingtian by his side.
Lu Changxiao.
“That’s great!”
Mr. Long held a nine-foot folding fan and beat it in the palm of his hand. He looked at the nine-story red building of Wanhua Tower and the beauties flashing through the window from time to time. Mr. Long's eyes were full of joy. He felt that this place was as happy as a fairyland in heaven.
But not long after, he left Pingkangfang, because the purpose of his trip today was not here, but to go to Daoguangfang to see the Feng family girl.
Mr. Long came to the Feng family. The Feng family was shocked and quickly brought Long live the Lord into the inner room to block the news. But Zhao Tian said, everyone need not panic. The two thousand leopard riders in Daoguangfang are all my confidants. I am afraid that someone will harm me.
Not successful?
Then the Feng family retreated, leaving only Zhao Tian and Feng Baochuan in the room.
Feng Baochuan's mother, Feng Gan, was sitting in a small pavilion outside the house, while two masters, Huang and Lu, were guarding the door of the house.
Feng Gan seemed to have a premonition of what was going to happen today and looked a little anxious. Soon after, the young eunuch Lu Shi came to the courtyard, holding a document in his hand. Feng Gan looked over and saw that it was the emperor's fortune book. Seeing this
, Feng Gan felt relieved.
Feng Gan invited Lu Shi to sit in a small pavilion and served tea and snacks.
Feng Gan said: "I heard that Long Live the Concubine Tang was canonized as Queen this morning, but I don't know when the Ministry of Rites will hold a ceremony for the Queen?"
Lu Shi said: "The Empress of Tang Dynasty said that at this time, Daliang was at war with other countries, and soldiers died for the country every day. She couldn't bear to play drums, so she skipped this ceremony. She also said that the money for the ceremony would be sent to the families of the martyrs.
, to comfort those who have lost their sons, husbands, and fathers.”
Feng Gan nodded and said: "The Empress of Tang is really a motherly lady, I admire her."
Lu Shi nodded.
Feng Gan twisted the silk handkerchief and thought for a while before saying, "I heard that after the canonization of the queen, the Meng family and the Ximen family asked the imperial concubine at the same time?"
Lu Shidao: "According to the "League of Peace", the four noble concubines in the harem should be Tang, Meng, Ximen and Daoguangfang. Now that Tang Concubine has been promoted to queen, the other concubines have not been found. Of course, these two families have to start this.
thing."
Feng Gan said: "I wonder when the girls from Meng and Ximen will enter the palace?"
Lu Shi smiled and said: "Looking at what the old lady said, it seems that we know everything. Moreover, the emperor said that this matter will be left to the queen to arrange. We estimate that the queen will summon Meng and Ximen in the next few days.
A girl. We don’t know who to call and when to enter the palace."
Feng Gan ordered someone to fetch some gold and handed it to Lu Shi: "Who knows that Eunuch Lu is the emperor's confidant and the most shrewd person. Our Baochai is a stupid talker. When she enters the palace in the future, she will still count on Eunuch Lu.
Take care of me. If my little girl does something wrong, please give me some advice and help me deal with it."
Lu Shi declined three times, only saying that it was his duty to take care of his empress, but he couldn't defeat Feng Gan's sincerity, so Lu Shi still accepted the gold.
Not long after, ugly noises were heard in the room. It seemed that Emperor Wanlong had taken Feng Baochuan to a higher level. At first, the girl endured it, but then she couldn't bear it any longer. The ugly noises were loud and the people outside the door felt a little embarrassed.
Feng Gan felt even more embarrassed and restless, but refused to leave. The young eunuch Lu Shi was calm because he had heard too much, and as a eunuch, he had no physical reaction.
The most embarrassing thing at this time is Huang Dingtian and Lu Changxiao standing at the door. These are two healthy people. Being stimulated by the sound, they will inevitably feel unstable.
It can be said that people who have practiced high-level internal skills are already extraordinary ones, but they are still young and full of energy. Seeing that Huang and Lu were a little uneasy, Lu Shi glared at them, especially Lu Changxiao, who was Lu Shi's
Brother.
In fact, the emperor had the intention to let Huang and Lu enter the palace like Xun Duoyu and Sun Buwu did. It was Lu Shi's pleading that made the emperor give up the idea.
The reason why Lu Shi begged for mercy was because he didn't want the Lu family to have no heirs.
And Huang Dingtian is even less willing to take that knife, because he has a girl in his heart named Han, known as the Black Widow.
In fact, she is not a widow, the girl has never been married at all. She is the illegitimate daughter of the evil monk Xuan Ku. However, the evil monk does not recognize her, but she takes her as his disciple and is regarded as Huang Dingtian's junior sister.
…
Zhao Meng, the king of Feng, came to the house of King Qi.
King Zhao Changchun of Qi scolded Zhao Meng quite dissatisfiedly because a few days ago, Zhao Meng suddenly broke into Qinghuafang and ordered a group of people to kneel towards the imperial city.
"You're so good, so wild? Did you get the consent of me and the emperor to show off your power? Do you know what the consequences will be if you offend the Tang family? Fortunately, Prince Teng was present and knelt down, otherwise I would have
I don’t know how to explain it to Tang Qiong.”
After being scolded, Zhao Meng didn't say a word, and Zhao Changchun didn't chase him away. At this time, the eunuch said, "The young lady is here," and Zhao Changchun walked away, leaving the eldest son Zhao Lian to accompany Zhao Meng.
Zhao Lian looked behind Zhao Meng and saw an unfamiliar little eunuch.
I don’t know how this little eunuch did it. He put on makeup like a woman, making his face pale, and even applied bloody makeup. Let’s not mention this awkwardness.
However, at this time, there was an evil trend in the Northern Dynasty, and handsome men began to become popular. Even among the people Zhao Lian knew, there were also people who liked this. For example, Tang Dian, the twelfth son of the Tang family, and Han Xiu, the fifth son of the Han family, both had this habit.
Sleeve fetish.
Zhao Lian rolled his eyes, thinking that Zhao Meng was as good as him, and laughed.
How did Zhao Lian know that the young eunuch was Zhang Cong. But at this time, he had changed his name to Yuan Kun.
It is said that Yuan Kun's ability to enter the palace and become the confidant of the Empress Dowager Han was also related to King Feng. King Feng left the palace at the age of twelve and saw him about to starve to death on the road. His Highness King Feng's words saved him.
"I said Mengdi, why did you come to my house? Sit in meditation? Why didn't you say a word?"
Zhao Mengdao: "I believe that Emperor Wanlong is a wise king. He will definitely open up a prosperous age, unify China, and create a foundation for the ages."
Zhao Lian blinked: "Are you sick?"
Zhao Meng stood up: "I'm not sick, I just said something from the bottom of my heart."
After saying that, Zhao Meng bowed his hands to Zhao Lian very humbly and saluted. Zhao Lian quickly stood up and returned the salute. After the salute, before Zhao Lian could say anything, Zhao Meng had already turned around and walked away.
Zhao Lian said with some dissatisfaction: "Zhao Meng, you were not like this before. If you have anything to say, our cousins would say it from the bottom of our hearts. What's wrong now? Can't you talk to me well? Co-author, you too
Do you want to be like Zhao Tian, thinking about playing tricks on people all day long? But I still advise you, some abilities are innate and cannot be imitated. Just like in studying and practicing martial arts, who doesn't look at talent? We don't have that kind of talent
No matter how hard we try, it won't work. I get a headache when I read a book, and memorizing it is even more troublesome. But Zhao Tian can memorize the book after reading it several times. How can we compare with him?"
Zhao Meng stopped and said: "How can I dare to compete with the emperor? I just want everyone to know that I admire Emperor Wanlong, and I admire him so much. In addition... I also want to advise you..."
When Zhao Meng, the king of Feng, was about to say some words of advice, Yuan Kun tugged on his sleeve. Zhao Meng swallowed the words as he spoke, shook his sleeves and left.
Emperor Wanlong Zhao Tian was extremely talented. Among all the princes, no one was smarter than him. But this guy's faults were inversely proportional to his intelligence.
He doesn't really like things that other people like to play, such as Cuju, polo, crickets, etc. He loses interest after playing two or three times. He feels that people are the most fun. What you play is not as interesting as playing with people. Period of fun
endless.
At this time, he was holding the panting Feng Baochuan in his arms and said: It is said that governing a country is difficult, but in my opinion it is not difficult. Governing a country is actually governing people. And I think governing people is a kind of pleasure.
.The intrigues between ministers are what I like to see the most. If they don't fight, it will be troublesome.
Feeling emotional about important national events, he began to flirt with Feng Baochuan again, talking about Tang Mei in a few words.
Feng Baochuan said: "I heard that Tang Mei dared to refuse to have sex with the Holy Emperor."
This is Zhao Tian's secret pain.
Zhao Tian said: "Don't listen to other people's nonsense. How dare she reject me? I tell you clearly that she has been mine for a long time. It's just that I don't like her, so I didn't admit her to the palace. And now I have to punish her. It's not that he doesn't like her.
That surrogate son-in-law? Well, I just want her to marry that surrogate son-in-law. If she falls in love with that surrogate son-in-law, I will separate them. In the end, I will make it impossible for them to separate and get together."
…
Supervisory Office, Mei Pavilion.
After breakfast, Tang Mei sat on the couch. Su Ping stood up and was about to leave, but was stopped by Tang Mei.
"The news from Longyou is that the Sangla people have withdrawn from Shancheng and sent envoys to request peace talks. They are willing to return the four counties in Hexi. The teams of the eldest brother Tang Qian, the second brother Tang Kun, and the third brother Tang Ding have entered the four counties. It seems that,
The war will end sooner than we think."
Su Ping said happily: "This is really good news."
Tang Mei smiled proudly and asked seriously: "I hope you can complete your third marriage proposal as soon as possible."
Su Ping said nothing.
Tang Mei had a look of anger on her face: "Don't you think the proposal of marriage last time was too perfunctory? You asked Feng Die's mother to buy some raisins and send them over. Even if you propose marriage, you won't be afraid of making the two concubines laugh."
Su Ping spread his hands: "I'm poor."
Tang Mei had a cold face, took out ten taels of silver and put it on the table.
