Mo Yanliang

Chapter 96
The imperial decree was quickly drawn up, and Emperor Feng was very satisfied after reading it.

He couldn't help sighing: "If Xiguang didn't return to the capital, I really don't know where else I can find a talent like you!"

Xia Huaixun smiled and said: "Your Majesty is too flattering. There are countless talented people in the world. I am just luckier than others."

"Xi Guang is too humble. I have been on the throne for dozens of years, and I have seen many talented people, but I have never seen anyone as interesting as you."

The reason why Fenghuang sighed like this was because he suddenly thought of Xia Huaixun's twin brother Xia Huaijin.

More than ten years have passed, and he still clearly remembers that handsome and talented young man.

If Xia Huaijin was still there, Changning would never have lived in such a miserable life, and there would not be a gap between his mother and himself.

But if he was here, Xi Guang would never become an official in the court, and he would lose his only friend who forgets years. How boring life would be!
It is difficult to have both in the world, and the emperor is no exception.

Xia Huaixun didn't care if he was talented or not, but he readily accepted the evaluation of "interesting".

He didn't want to use his father's almost harsh standards to demand himself. If the fun in life is lost, what's the point of being alive?
"This humble minister has only such a small advantage, thank you for your praise."

Putting down the imperial decree, the emperor said again: "My son, I went to pay my respects to the Queen Mother, and talked to her about celebrating her birthday.

Her old man said that she wanted a picture of the Antarctic fairy, but felt that the painters' style was too rigid, so she simply left it to you.

Whenever Xiguang is free, he will go to De'an Palace and ask the Queen Mother for her opinion. "

Xia Huaixun agreed very simply.

What kind of advice does Antarctic Immortal Wengtu need? No matter how clever an artist is, it is impossible to paint an old man into a fairy.

The old queen is clearly not dead, how could he do such stupid things as throwing herself into a trap.

Not to mention that it is impossible for him to marry again, even if he wanted to, he would not marry Princess Changning.

She only had the third brother in her heart, otherwise she wouldn't have refused to marry for more than ten years.

Just because I look exactly like the third brother, I can't be pulled by the queen mother to be a substitute.

Borrowing a sentence that Yue'er often said, he just wants to live a good life, but why do he have to make himself unhappy?
Xia Huaixun returned to Taishi's mansion, and saw that his daughter was waiting for him in the study.

"Yue'er didn't go fishing?" He asked with a smile.

"You have been robbed by the old emperor, how can my daughter still think about fishing?"

Xia Huaixun knew that she wanted to inquire about the reason why Fenghuang summoned him, and without waiting for her to ask, he told about the upcoming return of King Bosi's family to Beijing.

Xia Yueliang's face was wrinkled into a ball.

The old emperor actually came for real!

He will let any prince be the prince if he doesn't deal with the Xia family. He has never seen such a deceitful boss!

"Father, how long does Your Majesty plan to let King Bosi's family stay in the capital?"

Xia Huaixun said helplessly, "Yue'er is still thinking about luck?"

"I'm just asking casually."

"Although His Majesty has not made it clear which prince he will appoint as the heir apparent, he has already ordered the Ministry of Industry's Renovation Department to renovate the Bosi Palace. You should give up now."

Xia Yueliang drooped the corners of her mouth, feeling that she was not well.

Xia Huaixun pinched her cheek: "Go and find out the picture of the Antarctic fairy that my father drew a few years ago."

"Why do you want that?"

"Your Majesty said that the Empress Dowager wants a picture of an Antarctic fairy, so please do me a favor."

"The old emperor is really good at oppressing his courtiers, he only has a little salary every year, and he doesn't let people rest on holidays.

You don't need to keep so many painters, you have to do everything! "

"Yeah..." Xia Huaixun stroked his forehead: "Why don't we simply resign?"

Xia Yueliang snorted heavily, and went to look for paintings in the scroll jar.

During the years of being an official in the court, Xia Huaixun didn't have many paintings, not because he didn't have time, but because he didn't have that leisurely feeling.

The picture of Antarctic Immortal Weng that Xia Yueliang found was already a work eight years ago. Although there is no damage, the paper has turned yellow.

She whispered: "It's a pity that it's a bit old, otherwise it wouldn't be a worry and effort to just use this to deal with errands."

Xia Huaixun had already spread out the rice paper, picked out the paintbrush, and said with a smile: "What a lazy girl, she has learned to deal with errands at a young age."

Xia Yueliang is no longer the Mr. Xia who pursued perfection in everything in her previous life. She even thinks it's okay to deal with errands occasionally.

She found a wooden shelf to hang the painting on, and picked an angle that was convenient for copying.

"Daddy, the Empress Dowager asked you to draw this picture yourself, so there must be other intentions?"

This time Xia Huaixun didn't choose to hide it, and told about Princess Changning and Xia Huaijin.

Xia Yueliang swallowed her saliva: "So the girl my grandmother mentioned is Princess Changning?"

Xia Huaijin was still very young when she died, but men in this era get married relatively early, and it is rare for men to be unmarried at the age of 20.

Xia Yueliang felt a little strange, so she looked for an opportunity to ask the old lady, so she knew the existence of that girl.

But she never thought that that girl would be Princess Changning.

Xia Huaixun sighed softly: "Feelings are something that cannot be controlled. Your third uncle was smart and sensible since he was a child, and he was the most valued son of your grandfather.

Our Xia family seldom marry the royal family, and it is even more impossible for the most promising young man to be a consort.

Unexpectedly, things are unpredictable, but your third uncle has developed feelings for Princess Changning.

Naturally, your grandfather strongly opposed it, but the queen mother promised not to affect your third uncle's official career, and Princess Changning was even willing to give up her status as a princess.

The mother and daughter even went to beg His Majesty because of this, but your third uncle actually..."

Xia Yueliang was a little out of breath.

How many things happened more than ten years ago.

Every time the elders leaked a little bit of information, the amount of information was so large that it was hard to digest.

"Father, I remember that the queen mother should be the first wife of the first emperor, right?"

Xia Huaixun nodded: "Is there any question?"

"The old emperor is over 50 years old, the age of Princess Changning...she and third uncle..."

"The empress dowager married the first emperor at the age of 13, but she never had children.

His Majesty's biological mother was the side concubine whom the late emperor accepted when he was in the hidden residence, and she died of illness not long after the late emperor ascended the throne.

At that time, His Majesty was only a few years old, and the late Emperor sent him to the Empress Dowager.

Unexpectedly, the queen mother suddenly became pregnant when she was 40 years old, so Princess Changning was much younger than her majesty. "

Xia Yueliang made a simple calculation: "The first emperor gave the throne to His Majesty today, which means that when Princess Changning was born, the Empress Dowager was already the Empress Dowager."

No wonder the old queen wanted to get her father's idea. How could she be willing to be alone for the rest of her life, a precious girl who was obtained through such hardship.

It's a pity that the princess is too infatuated, even if a man with the same appearance is sent to her, she will never be tempted.
