Tianhuang nobleman

Chapter 113

In the bedroom of Qianqing Palace, Qi Xiao had Bai Ren serve him and changed into a loose jacket. Bai Ren simply removed the golden crown and just combed a ponytail casually, which made him look younger. Qi Xiao liked it so he forgot that Bai Ren just now Going back to the palace under the sun against his will, he asked: "How do you feel when you go back to the mansion today? Is the Ministry of Internal Affairs still dedicated to doing things? Is the mansion repaired to your liking?"

"Very good, it's only been repaired for a month, and I can't find any traces of the original fire when I went to look again. When I went, they were planning the garden, and they said they were going to bring in a stream of water..." Bai Ren sipped His lips whispered, "I see that they are going to make a big move. I think it is... the emperor ordered it? Actually, there is no need to..."

"The place where the mother-in-law will live in the future, of course, can't be sloppy, and the palace is not just for the concubine to live alone. In the future, when you have adopted children, don't you all have to live here?" Qi Xiao smiled, "King of Lingnan, You promised me that in the future, children, especially men, will not return to Lingnan until they are at least 15 years old by my side."

Bai Ren couldn't help laughing: "How dare I forget what I promised you, don't worry, they will be bathed in the emperor's kindness since they were young, and they will have one heart with the emperor in the future."

Qi Xiao smiled and didn't say anything. Raising Bai Ren's children in the imperial city is not only for the sake of oneness with him, the most important thing is that Qi Xiao has to personally test their character. Raising them until they are 15 years old is good or bad. It can almost be seen that Qi Xiao doesn't need their ability, as long as they know how to be grateful, know how to advance and retreat, and sincerely respect and love Bairen. If there is a white-eyed wolf like Qi Jing... At the age of 15, I will kill him secretly to prevent future troubles.

Naturally, there is no need to tell Bai Ren about this.

"Also..." Bai Ren was a little embarrassed, and said in a low voice, "Eunuch Jiang took me to Heqing Palace this morning. Officer again..."

"How about it?" Qi Xiao interrupted Bai Ren with a sneer, "I don't know my allegiance and traitors again, and I don't respect my ancestors? Well, let them just participate. I just feel that the Taimiao is too desolate, and I am waiting for a few more loyal ministers." Go and guard."

When Qi Xiaofu first succeeded to the throne, several officials couldn't see the situation clearly. They only thought that Qi Jing was not dead, and the princes were still in good condition. Everything was turning around. In order to "take care of the new emperor and help the government", Qi Xiao had an expression on his face at that time, but those officials didn't see it, and kept chattering endlessly, implying that Qi Xiao was disloyal and unfilial in his words. There is an old official who is especially good at tossing. He won the imperial crown in court and cried for his ancestor. Qi Xiao laughed back in anger. According to the ancestor's rules, officials are not punished for persuasion. Absolutely, send those people directly to the Taimiao.

Don't they miss the time when their ancestors were there, so they should go to their ancestors.

Bai Ren was speechless, and said with a dry smile: "I'm just worried, don't get angry."

"I'm not angry with you." Qi Xiao sat up and pulled Bai Ren to his side and said softly, "I have just been enthroned, and if I don't give up my power now, they only think that I am weak and easy to bully, and they will hold back even more in the future Toss."

Bai Ren couldn't help laughing: "The emperor is really worrying too much. Really, no one has ever thought that you are easy to bully." Before ascending the throne, he had already controlled the government, even killed the empress and princes, and then put the late emperor under house arrest. It's because of his calmness that many people have ended up, except for those who are confused, now no one dares to touch Qi Xiao's bad luck.

Qi Xiao chuckled, lowered his head and bit Bai Ren's lips lightly and said with a smile: "Are you kidding me? Are you still hot..."

Bai Ren shook his head, and Qi Xiao coaxed softly: "I will definitely build Heqing Palace to be magnificent, so that they can understand who the King of Lingnan is to me... Don't be afraid of attracting attention, Haiyan Palace is also being built now. Have you seen it?"

Haiyan Palace was the former Chengqian Palace, because it was Qi Jing’s former residence, Qi Xiao hated it in his heart, after moving Qi Jing to Dexin Palace, people took off the plaque of Chengqian Palace and changed it to Haiyan Palace, and overhauled it. , and changed the first palace adjacent to Chengqian Palace to Heqing Palace, and gave it to Bairen.

Haiyan and Heqing, the world is peaceful, and anyone who understands knows what's going on.

Bai Ren nodded: "I've seen it, everything is compared with the ones in the Prince's Mansion, those big ebony guys who were lifeless before were all removed, and the overlapping gold-embroidered curtains were also removed. I have seen the newly made furniture, it is very delicate, and the room looks bright."

Qi Xiao laughed lightly: "We'll move in when everything is repaired. By the way, did you get a letter from Lingnan? Did the concubine agree to come to Beijing?"

Bai Ren smiled: "Before, I declined again and again, but this time I sent the letter back to the mother and concubine, and the mother and concubine relaxed a lot. Yan Yan saw that the mother and concubine actually wanted to come, but she was too worried... After all, the three-year filial piety period has not yet passed. , and there is no such precedent, but the concubine mother really misses me, Roujia, and the child even more. Nanny Yan understands in her heart, so she guards the concubine mother and persuades her concubine day and night, and finally she persuades the concubine mother. It has already been decided, and I said that I will come to the imperial city when the autumn wind cools down."

Qi Xiao nodded: "Okay, so that you don't suffer from the heat on this journey, and the Lingnan Palace will be completed when you come."

Bai Ren looked left and right, saw that the palace ladies and servants were all standing around, no one dared to raise his eyes, he was relieved, he leaned forward and kissed Qi Xiao on the lips, and said in a low voice, "Thank you for being so considerate of me."

Qi Xiao raised his eyebrows and snorted coldly: "Shaoguang said these nice things to fool him."

Bai Ren couldn't help laughing, there were seven or eight basins of ice in the bedroom, big and small, it was very cool, and he didn't feel afraid of the heat when he was tired, Bai Ren simply got closer and got into Qi Xiao's arms, rubbing against each other and whispering: " Also, Roujia asked me to kowtow to you in her place to thank you, but she still dare not take that house, after thinking about it, I think it's better to let it go."

Qi Xiao looked down at Bai Ren: "What did He Zichen say?"

"No." Bai Ren quickly shook his head, smiled and said, "Of course he didn't say anything. In fact, Roujia didn't mention it to him at all. As soon as I told her, she hurriedly declined. What she was worried about was, don't If it's you, even if I give them a house, He Zichen might not look good on the face, I know you are trying to prevent Roujia from being wronged, but she is not wronged."

Bai Ren pursed his lower lips and said softly: "If Rou Jia could really live in the deep house, I would not have agreed to this marriage at the beginning. Mrs. He treated her very well, and He Zichen and her young husband and wife are also in harmony. Rou Jia is already content. I don't expect anything extravagantly anymore, and... I'm afraid it will be worse if I give her too many things."

Qi Xiao thought for a while and nodded: "I'm not afraid of her being wronged, it's just that you always miss her, and I'm also afraid that the concubine will be dissatisfied when she comes to Beijing to see her small house in the future. Just take care of it."

Bai Ren agreed, and the two of them stopped talking about business, and lay down and chatted leisurely, because talking about the matter that Princess Dunsu wanted to marry Chun Wangfu, Bai Ren said unintentionally: "Just now the eldest princess said This is here? In the hot weather, I thought it was something serious."

Qi Xiao hesitated for a while, and told Bai Ren the truth, fearing that Bai Ren would be overwhelmed, Qi Xiao said again: "I have just made my words clear enough, my aunt is a smart person, she can understand what I mean."

Bai Ren listened for a while and said: "Without me... the youngest daughter of the Eldest Princess is actually the best candidate for the second place, it's a pity..."

"What a pity?" Qi Xiao raised his eyebrows, "Doesn't the prince want to marry the princess?"

Bai Ren laughed: "What are you talking about... By the way, Imperial Physician Liu came just now and waited outside the hall with me. Because Eunuch Jiang said that you were talking to the eldest princess, Imperial Physician Liu resigned. Eunuch Jiang asked him He didn't say anything, he just said it's okay, and he will come again after the emperor finishes his dinner tonight."

Bai Ren carefully looked at Qi Xiao's face, and said softly, "Is it the Dexin Palace..."

"It's okay." Qi Xiao didn't want Bai Ren to know about this, so he turned his head to the palace and said, "I told you to make some soup for the prince, why haven't you brought it yet?"

In fact, the palace servants had already made preparations, but seeing the two of them talking and not daring to interrupt, they kept apologizing when they saw this, and hurriedly brought Pai's ice sugar and lotus seed soup, Bai Ren stretched out his hand to pick it up, but Qi Xiao took it first Yes, I tasted it myself before handing it to Bairen.

Bai Ren felt sweet in his heart, a few days ago he was greedy for coolness, even ate a plate of ice water fruit, he felt happy at the time, but then he had a full night's stomach trouble, Qi Xiao was so angry and in pain, Even after he had a fit with the palace servants, he was not allowed to eat cold food again, even if Qi Xiao brought up these summer heat food, Qi Xiao had to taste it himself and thought it was okay before giving it to Bai Ren.

Bai Ren couldn't help but think of what he said just now, since Qi Jing was sent to Dexin Palace, Qi Xiao never mentioned this person again, Qi Xiao went to visit it a few times, but he never allowed others to set foot there, even Bai Ren Bai Ren accidentally asked Qi Xiao and covered it up. In fact, Bai Ren could probably guess what scene was there, but since Qi Xiao didn't want him to know, he continued to pretend to be confused.

"It's a pity that there are too many things to do when you first become enthroned, otherwise I will take you to the palace to cool off." Qi Xiao took a handkerchief and wiped the fine beads of sweat oozing from his forehead, "You are so thin, why are you so afraid of the heat?" ..."

Bai Ren drank the lotus seed soup in a few sips, and smiled: "It's nothing, there is no need to waste money and people, the sweltering heat in the south is worse than this, I am used to it."

Qi Xiao mocked lightly: "I'm really not afraid of the heat, so I shouldn't push back and forth like that every night. I just didn't feel well a few days ago, but what about these few days? I just hummed and said it was hot, but now I have to do it." With such a virtuous appearance, you should show some sincerity if you are afraid of wasting money and people."

Bai Ren couldn't help laughing, but when he was about to argue, his mouth was blocked by Qi Xiao...

"emperor……"

The palace servants heard Bairen finished drinking the soup outside, and wanted to come in to ask if they would send another bowl in. But just as they opened the jade bead curtain, they saw the emperor holding the King of Lingnan in his arms on the couch inside, with his hand already inserted into the cup. Lingnan King's obscene trousers were in, and Bairen's tunic made Qi Xiao feel tall. The palace servant first saw the white skin around Bairen's waist, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat from fright, and hurriedly kowtowed and walked out. up.

The palace people exited the bedroom and were meeting Jiang Deqing, who was sending Princess Dunsu back from the palace, and hurriedly stopped him: "If you have nothing to do, you don't need to go in to serve, inside, inside...the emperor is talking about business with the prince."

Jiang Deqing understood for a moment, and said with a broken smile: "It's still brightly lit... Forget it, hurry up and prepare things for bathing, and what, the Empress Dowager likes to eat something, so hurry up and prepare some pastries and cheese. If you want something fresh and hot, you won’t be able to serve it when you get up, the prince has a good temper and doesn’t say anything, it’s not for fun when the emperor is unhappy.”

The palace people repeatedly agreed to go.
