Ajiu

Chapter 163
The canonization ceremony of the emperor's grandson was completed, all civil and military officials congratulated the emperor, and the wives from inside and outside the court congratulated the empress. Banquets in the palace were like Zhengdan and Winter Solstice.

This is probably the most solemn full moon banquet in the whole world.

At the banquet, the emperor specially ordered the nurse to take out the grandson of the emperor and show it to the officials.Xiao Zhengzheng, who was only full moon, was wearing a dragon robe embroidered with nine groups of vermilion, against which he had a handsome face carved in pink and jade, he looked extremely good-looking.He slept most of the day, but he was awake now, his eyes, dark as spots of paint, wide open and refreshed. "The majesty of the mountains and rivers, the great grandson of Zhong Yu", "The appearance of the dragon and the phoenix, the world will return", "Your Majesty has successors", the voices of praise came one after another, and the emperor listened with a smile, and his complacent attitude was beyond words.

The emperor personally hugged Xiao Zhengzheng in his arms.The crown prince knew that he would not hold a child, so he was worried, and left the seat and walked to the high throne, "Your Majesty, you have to support his head and neck." The emperor smiled, "Don't worry, I treasure him more than you .” Crown Prince Weiwei.

The crown prince stood beside the throne, with a handsome face and dignified appearance. The emperor was very happy to see it.He looked at Xiao Zhengzheng in his arms, then at Xiao Shi beside him, his heart was full of joy, almost overflowing.

"Xiao Shi, if you are not obedient, I will pass the throne directly to Xiao Zhengzheng." The emperor smiled at Mimi's threat.

"That's a good thing." The Crown Prince was respectful and filial, "My junior sister and I traveled around the mountains and rivers, and lived our days at ease. I will leave this burden to Xiao Zhengzheng alone."

The emperor glanced at Xiao Zhengzheng, who was only full moon and only a little bit older, and snorted, "That's a beautiful idea! You can bear the burden, and don't want to abuse my good grandson."

Putting thousands of miles of land on Xiao Zhengzheng, can't the child be crushed?Xiaozheng is carrying a heavy burden, you and Ajiu are idle, Xiaoshi, you are dreaming.

The emperor and the crown prince were bargaining, Xiao Zhengzheng in his arms opened his mouth and yawned, closed his eyes, and fell asleep sweetly.

"Look at my little Zhengzheng, how generous his heart is! Grandfather and father were talking about such an important matter. He yawned and fell asleep." The emperor laughed happily.

Can he understand?A child who is only one month old, can he understand it?The crown prince was speechless.

It wasn't until the wet nurse took Xiao Zhengzheng away carefully that the crown prince felt relieved, left the emperor, and returned to his seat.

The grandson left, the son also left, the emperor sat on the throne, aloof, but felt lonely.

Or the feeling of children and grandchildren surrounded by knees is good.

At the banquet of the officials, many people congratulated Mr. Pei Ge and Mr. Pei, "Congratulations, the little grandson of your mansion is really a celestial being." The emperor asked to resign many times but was not allowed. The father and son are still holding important positions in the court, obviously because of their trust.Who wouldn't want to make friends with such a father and son of the Pei family?
Old Fangzheng of Pei Ge talked about the truth with people in a serious manner, which probably meant: It is not appropriate for you to congratulate me, that is the grandson of the emperor, and he is the heir of His Majesty, so you should congratulate Your Majesty.Second Master Pei was modest and respectful, and politely thanked him, expressing that he did not dare to take credit.

The Pei family father and son were very quiet and low-key.

This is not easy to do, it requires good self-cultivation and concentration.

Yang Shoufu sat with Mr. Pei Ge, and he was very polite and considerate to Mr. Pei Ge.As a person who has been in politics for decades, Yang Shoufu understands very well that although Mr. Pei Ge is not allowed to resign, his official career has come to an end and he will not go any further.That is to say, he is not a threat to his chief assistant.His Majesty the Emperor thinks highly of Mr. Pei Ge, but he will not let the grandfather of the Crown Princess be the chief assistant, nor will he make the grandfather of the Crown Princess No. 1 among the civil servants.

No matter how trusted the relatives are, they are still relatives after all.

There are only four people in the cabinet now: Yang Shoufu, Yu Cifu, Pei Ge and Song Ge.It stands to reason that Mr. Pei Ge's qualifications and ability are not inferior to those of the first assistant and the second assistant, or even stronger, but his ranking in the cabinet is always low.Because of this, Yang Shoufu and Yu Cifu have always been friendly with him on the surface, but wary in their hearts.It wasn't until Pei Ge's only granddaughter was hired as the crown prince that Yang Shoufu and Yu Cifu began to relax: Pei Kai became a foreign relative, and your majesty is wise and powerful, so how can you not guard against your foreign relatives?

Yu Cifu smiled and toasted Mr. Pei Ge, but he didn't say any compliments such as "your grandson".Yu Cifu felt this emotion in his heart, Pei Kai has better qualifications, ability, and popularity than me, and I am even worse than the holy family, but I have been ranked higher than him in the past few years.Why?Probably the Holy One had already decided to marry the Pei family.

Only this one reason can explain it.

"It's ridiculous that I used to think that I was blessed by nature." Yu Cifu recalled his arrogance in the past, and felt ashamed.

Yu Cifu raised his eyes and saw Second Master Pei talking gently with a middle-aged official.The middle-aged official was dressed in a fourth-rank costume, with an extraordinary handsome appearance, just like the dignified Second Master Pei, very gentle. "In the Secretary of General Administration, there are two middle-aged handsome men, both of whom are related to the royal family." Yu Cifu saw it and smiled slightly.

The person talking to Second Master Pei was Jin Yan, You Tongzheng of the Tongzheng Secretary, the only son of Princess Longqing.The Jin family is a scholarly family, and Jin Yan, the eldest princess's son, did not become an official because of Enyin, but was born in a serious imperial examination: Jiazi Ke Jinshi.

Watching the two middle-aged handsome men talking politely with smiles on their faces, even though Yu Cifu couldn't hear what they were saying, he still found it pleasing to the eye.

"Jin Tongzheng can take over the position of Pei Tongzheng's envoy." Yu Cifu suddenly felt moved.

Pei Mi is the grandfather of the emperor's grandson, so it will be a matter of time before he resigns.Pei Miruo's resignation was approved, and the post of General Manager became vacant, so of course someone had to fill it.So, isn't Jin Tongzheng the most suitable candidate?Born in the right way, he has always been stable, and he is also the son of Princess Longqing.

"If Pei Mi's resignation is approved, can Jin Tongzheng be recommended to take over?" Yu Cifu thought about this matter.

"We all have only one single daughter. You have become a grandfather, but the little girl is still a child." Jin Tongzheng smiled, expressing his envy to Second Master Pei.

"The child will grow up very fast." Second Master Pei said gently: "The little girl was playing in front of my eyes, as if it was just yesterday. In the blink of an eye, she was out of the cabinet, gave birth to a child, and became the child's mother."

"It can be seen how clever and clever Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess is, which makes the elders love her." Jin Tongzheng bowed slightly.

She must be very popular, so a father will feel that "the little girl is playing in front of my eyes, as if it was just yesterday", and will sigh, "The child will grow up very fast".

"The child is our own good." Second Master Pei smiled.

The waiter Gao came over with a smile on his face.He is the favored servant of the emperor, and he has a lot of face. When he saw Mr. Pei and Jin Tongzheng, he nodded and bowed, with a flattering expression, "Long live Lord said, let Mr. Pei go to the East Palace now. He also said that the clothes It's all ready for you, so you can rest assured, just go."

Jin Tongzheng listened in a cloud of fog and didn't understand what was going on.Second Master Pei smiled and agreed, "Yes, let's go now." The servant Gao's tone was easygoing when delivering the message, he didn't use the word "oral order", and he didn't need to be too formal, the emperor would not like it if it was too formal.

Second Master Pei bid farewell politely, and left with Waiter Gao.After Second Master Pei left, Jin Tongzheng was still thinking about "go to the East Palace and prepare clothes", what does this mean?
Jin Tongzheng has always been smart, but until the end of the banquet, he didn't understand the profound meaning of these words.

On the contrary, he talked to his wife Xiangshi after he got home, and Xiangshi understood immediately, "Is there any need to think about it? It must be that His Majesty asked Pei Mi to go to the East Palace to hold the emperor's grandson, and the emperor's grandson often peed on him. That's why you need to prepare your clothes, just in case."

Jin Tongzheng suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."

It's not surprising, to put it bluntly.But if no one told him, he wouldn't think about it.

Xiang Shi is a few years younger than Jin Tongzheng, with fair complexion and elegant appearance, she is a beautiful woman with elegant manners.Standing together with the elegant and refined Jin Tongzheng, she is truly a perfect couple.

"Today, I didn't want to go at all." Xiang's eyes were slightly red, and he said in a low voice: "But mother said, I won't enter the palace once, I won't enter the palace twice, and I won't go back, as if I'm dissatisfied with the royal family." Yes. I didn't dare to disobey my mother, so I followed...Master, I feel very sad."

Jin Tongzheng was silent for a moment, and comforted softly, "Don't think about the useless things."

Xiangshi nodded obediently.

"Father, mother!" The happy little girl's voice sounded.

"An'er is here." Both Jin Tongzheng and Xiangshi smiled happily.

A little girl in a pink shirt and skirt came in, called her parents obediently, and chattered about what she had seen at the banquet, "...I saw Her Majesty the Crown Princess, she is very handsome and beautiful, at the banquet There are so many people, she is the most beautiful! There is also the emperor's grandson, who is so small, wearing a dragon robe, very interesting... I know several sisters, all of whom are a year or two older than me. I'm two or three years old, but I already like me. There are also a few princesses who also like me very much..."

"Our An'er is loved and loved." Xiangshi looked at her daughter dotingly, with pity in her eyes.

"Of course." An'er raised her head, like a little peacock, very proud, "Princess Fushou invited me to her house to play often!"

Xiang smiled and praised his daughter, Jin Tongzheng's heart was moved, and he asked his daughter to ask carefully, "What did Princess Fushou tell you?" An'er said in a boastful tone, how did Princess Fushou like her, How to praise her, and at the end, he repeatedly explained that she would not be surprised and often visit Princess Fushou's mansion.

Jin Tongzheng smiled and listened to his daughter, with a sharp look in his eyes.

Xiangshi looked at him worriedly.

After hearing his daughter's words, Jin Tongzheng coaxed her to go to the greenhouse to fold flowers, and An'er went happily, "Okay, okay, I'll watch people pick roses and use them to make cakes!"

After An'er left, the smile on Jin Tongzheng's face slowly disappeared.

"Xianggong, what's the matter?" Xiangshi asked anxiously.

"An'er is not allowed to associate with the princess, not anyone." Jin Tongzheng said calmly.

Xiangshi's eye circles were red, and he nodded, "Yes, definitely."

That family, if you can have less contact with them, then you will have less contact with them.

His family is above the world, and it is the most unpredictable family in the world.

"Her Royal Highness is very handsome and beautiful?" Jin Tongzheng thought wistfully, "An'er, not all princesses are like this. Before her, there was a beautiful girl named Tang who was also in her [-]th year. Married as a crown princess; the year she got married was also a grand ceremony, attracting everyone's attention..."

So what?A girl who was once so beautiful, who still remembers her now?

Things are unpredictable and impermanent.
