Imperial County Magistrate

Chapter 470 New Weather

"Sacrifice to ancestors? Just let the people in Qintian Prison choose a good day, right?"

Zhao Kang put away the memorial.

Her Majesty the Empress rolled her eyes: "It can't be that simple. Now that the Qian Kingdom is stable and everything is developing steadily, the matter between Xuance and Qingluan can also be settled."

"After worshiping the ancestors, let him make Qingluan his concubine. Then I can choose a time to be with him."

Zhao Kang was stunned: "So fast! I feel like you can still be here for a few more years!"

Her Majesty the Empress' eyes darkened, she walked over quickly and grabbed his ears.

Then he stomped on his instep and walked away angrily.

Zhao Kang grimaced in pain and was a little confused when he saw Xiao Linglong pushing open the door and coming out.

How do you say that if you change your face, you will change your face?Did you say something wrong?
After a few coughs outside the door, the red-robed eunuch walked in. Zhao Kang rubbed his ears and said hello: "Eunuch Fang."

Seeing Zhao Kang sitting behind the imperial desk, Fang Shao chose to turn a blind eye and said with a smile: "Old servant saw your majesty and left in anger. Did the imperial master make your majesty angry?"

Zhao Kang was speechless and said: "I don't know, I suddenly got angry."

Fang Shao asked the reason, his eyes were a little strange, he looked at Zhao Kang and whispered: "Master, please let me ask, is the master this year noble?"

Zhao Kang said casually: "It's 26 after the Chinese New Year, what's up?"

Fang Shao added: "Oh, he is the same age as His Majesty."

Zhao Kang nodded, and Fang Shao walked out of the imperial study with his hands behind his back and said, "Then if your majesty works for a few more years, won't you be reaching your thirties? A woman who can't get married at the age of 30 is considered an old girl among the people. ”

Imperial Master Zhao was shaken all over, and his little heart was beating loudly. How the hell could he forget this!

It turns out that His Majesty actually has this intention!I am too stupid!

After staying in the imperial study for most of the night, Zhao Kang left the palace.

Early the next morning, all officials gathered in court.

Zhao Kang was the first to arrive, and he looked in high spirits, which surprised the officials who arrived later.

Is the sun coming out from the west today?

On weekdays, this man is either late for court or dozes off, and sometimes he doesn't come at all.

It’s the first time I’ve come so early today!
Her Majesty the Empress arrived and rolled her eyes when she saw Zhao Kang. This bastard went back to the palace without saying a word last night. It was really annoying.

"When there is something to do, the court will start, but when there is nothing to do, the court will be dismissed."

After the ceremony, Fang Shao spoke.

Zhao Kang stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report."

Her Majesty the Empress smiled: "Master, please speak."

"According to the etiquette system, your Majesty will lead all the ministers to worship the ancestors and pray for blessings before the new year. I went through the calendar last night. The seventeenth day of this month is very good. It is also convenient to travel to the ancestral land. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

Xiao Linglong looked at the supervisor of Qintian Prison: "Master Liu?"

Mr. Liu was a little depressed. He was dragged out of his home by Zhao Kang in the middle of the night yesterday to choose a date. He was sleepy at the moment when he heard His Majesty's summons.

He quickly said: "Your Majesty's Imperial Master is right. There was no rain or snow on the [-]th, which is a rare good day."

Xiao Linglong nodded and said, "Then just follow what the Imperial Master said."

Zhao Kang added: "Your Majesty, in addition, Prince Xuance is not young anymore and can be a concubine."

Hearing this, many ministers murmured in their hearts. He was indeed quite young. I heard that the boy already had someone he loved.

This kind of important matter related to the country, the country, and the country should indeed be decided early.

Her Majesty the Empress was particularly concerned about this matter. She even chose the date and said softly: "The Imperial Master is right. The time for Xuance's appointment as concubine is set on the eighth day of the first lunar month. Do you have any objections?"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

After confirming all the matters, Zhao Kang took Fang Lin, the Minister of Rites, to take care of it. In a blink of an eye, it was the day of ancestor worship.

Everyone went to the imperial mausoleum in the eastern suburbs to worship their ancestors and pray for blessings.The empress is wearing a dragon robe, and the rest, Zhao Kang, Xiao Xuance, and Wu Qingluan, are also dressed in costumes.

Glancing at Zhao Kang behind him who looked pious and worshiping the Buddha and Bodhisattvas, Xiao Linglong couldn't help but smile in her heart.

After worshiping ancestors, the New Year is coming in a blink of an eye, and every household in Qian Country hangs up red lanterns to welcome the arrival of the New Year.

Wu Xinyi's sister and brother did not leave because Wu Qingluan's canonization ceremony was coming soon, and Her Majesty the Empress had already given the Wu family a house and planned to allow the Wu family to move into the imperial capital.

Wu Longli, a great person, has suddenly transformed and will soon be called the uncle of the state. It can be said that he has reached the sky in one step.

The Military Mansion of the Ministry of War has fully begun to operate. Most of the martial arts warriors recruited by Zhao Kang are idle people in the martial arts. Now they can be regarded as sneaking into the business establishment and finding a place to stay.

Cao Bailu also moved Fengyun Tower into the imperial capital, and all his spies were also dispersed.

28 this day.

Zhao Kang changed into his casual clothes, got on the carriage parked in the palace, and drove to the gate of the imperial city.

After a while, I saw a woman wearing a veil and showing her waistband. After passing the guard's interrogation, she walked straight towards the carriage.

Zhao Kang diligently waited for the other party to get into the car, then turned the car and headed out of the city.

Naturally, in the carriage were Qin Yufeng and Her Majesty the Empress who had just left the palace. They looked at each other and smiled.

Zhao Kang, who was a coachman, felt even more excited.

After two consecutive days of traveling, Zhao Kang took Xiao Linglong and Qin Yufeng to Yuanjiang County.

Looking at the collapsed city wall, Zhao Kang felt a little speechless because the power of the previous experimental cannon was destroyed.

Gao Quan and others received the news early and came to the city gate to greet them.

After some pleasantries, Zhao Kang entered the city and came to the county government office.

There is someone at the door who has been waiting for a long time. He is dressed in green clothes and looks like a green lotus.

Zhao Kang jumped out of the car excitedly and ran over, hugging him tightly. Ye Hongxue, who had come all the way from Jingguo, blushed slightly because she saw the two women getting out of the car one after another.

This was the first time the three women met together, and everything was kept secret.

The county government is now an empty shell, and there are no government officials for a long time. However, Gaoquan usually sends people to take care of it, so it is very clean.

Nowadays, there seems to be no imperial master of Daqian, no princess of Zhen, no empress, no female general of Jingguo.

Zhao Kang personally cooked a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner.

The four of them sat around the small square table. At this moment, they had no worries about the world's major events, only each other.

After dinner.

In the small courtyard, there is a small stove, cooking rice wine, and four cane chairs.

Qin Yufeng is still wearing a red dress with a charming posture, Xiao Linglong is wearing white clothes that are not stained by dust, and the leaves are red and snowy, and the green clothes are like lotus.

Looking at the three beauties, Zhao Kang felt extremely satisfied. The major events in the world seemed so insignificant compared to the warmth at this moment.

The night is deep.

Every household began to light dry bamboos and make crackling sounds, scaring their children over and over again that the Nian beast would come and snatch them away if they didn't sleep.

New year and a new look.

in the courtyard.

Zhao Kang's eyes rolled around and he coughed slightly: "Uh... those three ladies, it's getting late, shouldn't it be time to go to bed?"

Qin Yufeng snickered, Xiao Linglong's cheeks were hot, and she looked left and right carefully.

The three girls didn't know what Zhao Kang was thinking. Ye Hongxue laughed and said, "Do you think you can do it again?"

Zhao Kang was immediately furious: "Come on, come on, it's you! Let's see who can't do it first!"
