The Submissive Emperor - Chapter 17

Xiao Chengjun looked at the crown prince’s more and more beautiful face in the moonlight, slightly curled the corners of his lips, and handed him the two small things in his hand, “You take it and put it in the box.”

Lou Jing lowered his head, and saw that His Royal Highness put a pair of camphor wood sculptures into his hands. Camphor wood can repel insects. This kind of gadgets are usually put in the suitcase. Two little people holding ingots and big fish in the other, the chubby and naive, “Where did they come from?”

Xiao Chengjun pointed to the red lacquered box on the little boy next to him, “A gift from Yuezhou Governor.”

Lou Jing took the box, put the woodcarving villain in, and said with a smile: “This Yuezhou provincial governor is really interesting. The prince’s wedding, everyone else gave gold and jade jewelry, but he actually gave a pair of woodcarvings.”

“His family’s ancestors sold wooden utensils.” Xiao Chengjun looked at the box softly.

“Could it be that this was carved by the provincial governor from Yuezhou?” Lou Jingqi said, holding the box and looking through it, and found that the lacquer box was also carved with three lines of characters. He said: Hearing your Royal Highness’s wedding, I am very happy and hastily. In the meantime, nothing is given as a gift.

Old eyes are dim, carved by hand three years ago, to show the heart of the old minister.

The veteran is very old, and I hope that his Highness will be safe and healthy, and everything will go well.

Chunde was in Yuezhou in August of the tenth year

Xiao Chengjun looked at the moon in the sky and slowly said: “Yuezhou governor is the biological father of Concubine Shu.”

Lou Jing was dumb, and Concubine Shu’s biological father was Xiao Chengjun’s grandfather. It’s no wonder that he would give this kind of worthless but very careful thing. These three sentences were clearly carved out of one sentence before I remembered the next one. I can imagine a gray-haired old man who carved a line of congratulations under the moon, and felt that there was still something to say, so he carved another line.

The old man’s wish is always good, but Xiao Chengjun now has no possibility of everything going smoothly, because what he is carrying is the whole world, not just a small family with the princess.

“Zuoyu, you said, Jingnan Hou is leaving the southeast, who will defend against the Japanese pirates?” His Royal Highness’s face looked a lot softer in the moonlight, adding a lot of melancholy. Jingnan Hou guarded the southeast, fighting against Japanese pirates for more than ten years, but ended up returning to Beijing for retirement.

Jingnan Hou was the queen’s father. The emperor suppressed Jingnan Hou Shi while suppressing the prince. Before the wedding, Jingnan Hou deliberately wanted to regain the military power. Jingnan Hou heard the sound and learned that he took the initiative to hand over the military power. Today, listening to the queen’s meaning, it should be I will arrive in Kyoto next month with my wife and children.

“It’s not necessarily a bad thing to keep alive,” Lou Jing put the lacquer box in his hand back on the small table, and walked to the window, “My grandfather is gone, Jinzhou is still well today.”

Xiao Chengjun retracted his gaze from appreciating the moon, turned to his princess, and said for a long time, “I’m the one who worries the world for nothing.”

“Anguogong has guarded Jinzhou for generations, but my father will not lead soldiers. If Tarzi offends Jinzhou again, the court will have to send another general.” Lou Jing’s voice was a little cold.

“Zhuoyu…” Xiao Chengjun frowned slightly.

“The Japanese pirates in the southeast have been repeatedly banned. If it weren’t for the Jingnan Hou, the people there would have been dying. Jingnan Hou returned to Beijing, and within three months the Japanese pirates would have committed the southeast.” Lou Jing did not mean to stop. He looked at the moon tonight. His Royal Highness, who seemed lonely, felt very depressed in his heart. This man obviously had the talent for saving the world, but he was born in this chaotic Chunde Year, and he still had to tolerate the generations of flies and dogs.

“The building will fall, with my own strength, but it’s just a drop in the bucket.” Xiao Chengjun’s dark eyes looked deeper and deeper under the cold moonlight, and his voice was steady and powerful, without the slightest frustration. On the contrary, it contained thousands of prestige and shocked the surroundings. , “Instead of trying to maintain, it is better to imitate the phoenix nirvana and seek rebirth from the ashes.”

Lou Jing stared blankly at the people in front of him. In this empty hall, His Royal Highness, standing with his hand holding his hand, said these words, as if he was standing on the top of the majestic mountains and rivers, and among the ashes of the blood-stained rivers and mountains. Rise from the ashes.

Suddenly, his heartbeat was only momentary, Lou Jing attached one hand to his heart, and smiled slowly, “Chen, will wait, and your Highness will reorganize Heshan together.”

It was late at night, and the two simply rested in Chongren Hall.

The bed in Chongren Hall is larger than that in Bafeng Hall. Lou Jing moved into the bed and got close to His Royal Highness. He stretched out his hand to hug the sleeping person in his arms and rubbed his chin against the soft top of the hair. It’s a rub. This person will become the prince in charge of the world in the future, but at this moment he sleeps unsuspectingly in his arms, thinking like this, a strange sense of satisfaction rises in his heart.

The next morning, when the sun was shining on the apricot veil, Xiao Chengjun opened his eyes and found that the princess was picking up on himself again, and a slender hand reached into the apricot undershirt very dishonestly, raising his hand to hold it. A paw was taken out, but his cheek touched the head next to him.

His Royal Highness’s stretched out hand turned a bend, gently touched the long eyelashes, and slowly moved over, with his own lips, quietly touching the thin lips. Unexpectedly, when I just ran into it, I was suddenly attracted.

Lou Jing smiled and endured hard, until His Royal Highness kissed him again, and it turned out to be the kiss of the lips. He couldn’t help it anymore, and opened his mouth to hold the soft and warm thing.

“Um…” Xiao Chengjun couldn’t help but stared.

Lou Jing opened his eyes and pressed the head of His Royal Highness with one hand, sucking and biting on the lip that was trying to escape, tossing and milling, until both of them gasped slightly, then he propped up with one hand and watched in time. He said, “His Royal Highness, why is it so frivolous than me early in the morning?”

Xiao Chengjun looked at the beautiful eyes of the Canruo Hanxing stars, feeling a little at a loss for a while. He felt that there was something wrong with what he said, but he couldn’t say what was wrong.

Seeing the dumb look of His Royal Highness, the ears hidden in the hair gradually dyed red, Lou Jing felt itchy in his heart again.

“Oh, it’s time to get up,” Xiao Chengjun coughed lightly, and sat up, “I gave my father a son yesterday. Let’s live in Jingyi Mountain for two days.”

Lou Jing was still lying on the bed, reaching out and grabbing the corner of His Royal Highness’s clothes and playing around with her fingers, knowing that Xiao Chengjun was trying to avoid suspicion, so that Emperor Chunde felt that he didn’t know anything. There were other arrangements in the hall, “Okay, Jingyi Mountain should be full of red leaves by now. It’s a good time to play.”

Jingyi Mountain is in the eastern suburbs of the capital. Maple trees are planted all over the mountain. In autumn, the mountain will be full of red leaves, which is really beautiful. It’s just that the common people can only go to Beishan, and Nanshan is where the royal courtyard is located.

Emperor Chunde agreed very swiftly, and sent someone here in the morning, and the prospective prince and the prince would go to the Jingyi Mountain Palace to stay for a while.

“I was going to take you to the Prince’s Courtyard. I didn’t expect that the emperor would let us live in the palace.” After rewarding the **** who came to pass the letter, Xiao Chengjun turned to look at the princess who was changing clothes.

“That’s just right, I haven’t lived in the palace.” Lou Jing smiled. As a fourth-ranking general of the Yulin Army, he had been to the palace, but to guard and live in as the master, it was the first time.

To go to the palace, it was natural that the people from the East Palace should arrange the cleaning first. The two of them ate breakfast without a hassle, and then went to Fengyi Palace to confess to the queen, and then took the car and drove to the eastern suburbs after noon.

The East Palace is a peaceful scene, but the atmosphere in the hall is tense.

“The emperor, the county magistrate of Qinghe confessed that in March this year, the prince ordered Qinghe County to repair the Qingliang Temple, but he did not allocate any money until May. He used it to repair the Qingliang Temple. He didn’t even know the money. It’s the money for building the dam.” The Xingbu minister took out the results of yesterday’s interrogation.

“It’s just nonsense. Building the embankment is a big deal. As the county magistrate of Qinghe, can’t you tell the priorities?” Yang Youting, the official secretary of the bureau, was a straight-tempered person. He could not help but ask the officials for negligence.

“Qingliang Temple is repaired once every three years, and it doesn’t take a lot of money,” Hubu Shangshu was not happy, and stood up and said, “The money for building the dam and the temple is very different, and the Prince approved it in early March, and the Hubu March The money was allocated in the middle.”

“In the opinion of the minister, I am afraid that this matter still needs to be investigated.” Right-hand Chen Shichang stepped out and said with a bow.

The left minister Zhao Duan glanced at Chen Shichang, his eyes kept silent.

“Check,” Emperor Chunde waved his hand, “He is greedy for repairing the embankment and silver, and will never tolerate it.”

Shen Lianyin’s eyes glanced coldly at the right, without speaking.

When the dynasty came to an end, Zhao Duan, the leftist, smiled and let the right go first. He slowed down two steps and fell behind.

“Zuo Xiang, you said, what can I check?” Hubu Shangshu whispered, obviously it is the money for repairing the embankment embezzled by the Qinghe County magistrate. Why is it blamed on the Hubu?

The official secretary Yang Youting walked out, glared at Youxiang’s back, blew his beard, and snorted coldly, “Unpredictable.”

Anyone can see that the right-hand Chen Shichang is the intention of Xiang Zhuang Wujian to Pei Gong, and Emperor Chunde didn’t see it, leaving them tossing about.

Zhao Duan stroked the beautiful beard of his chin with one hand, “Let’s go back.” Without saying anything, he walked forward first, just glanced at the gloomy Shen Lian seemingly inadvertently, thoughtfully.

The system of three provinces and six provinces used by the Yu Dynasty, Taizong was abolished the province under his family, leaving only the Shangshu Province and the Zhongshu Province. Shangshuling is the left minister, and governs the officials, rituals, and households, and the middle book is the right minister, governing the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, and the Ministry of Industry. Sejong established the Ministry of Internal Servant. Regardless of any ministry, the authority is very vague. Now that Shen Lian has become the Internal Servant, he will even get involved in everything he wants.

Yao Zhu quietly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead. Fortunately, he heard the prince yesterday and asked his brother to leave the capital. As expected, someone broke into his brother Yao Su’s temporary residence in the middle of the night. It’s empty. Looking at the situation today, it should be to arrest people in private, and dare not make big fanfare if they haven’t caught it.

“My teacher, what should I do next?” Yao Zhu walked two steps quickly to follow in Zhao Duan’s footsteps, and asked in a low voice. His mother heard what happened yesterday and got up this morning and knelt down to the Donggong Palace three times for ninety-ninth days of fasting. Pray for His Royal Highness.

Zhao Duan took a deep look at Yao Zhu, “Instead of changing, in response to ever-changing.”

Jingyi Mountain is thirty miles away from the eastern outskirts of the capital. Under the mountain is the famous nun temple called Qinglian Temple. Female family members in the capital often come here to burn incense and worship Buddha. The incense is flourishing throughout the year.

“There is a temple fair here on the ninth day of September, we can go down the mountain to have a look.” Lou Jing looked at the Qinglian Temple not far away, with an unclear smile on his face.

Xiao Chengjun glanced at the princess who was smiling badly, “You and I are all men, how can you go to the nun temple to watch the excitement?” On the Ninth Double Ninth Festival in early September, the people would go to Beishan to ascend, and the female relatives would stay at the bottom of the mountain. Catch the temple fair.

Lou Jing smiled mysteriously, without answering, buried his face in the arms of His Royal Highness, and yawned, “I am dizzy because of this winding mountain road.”

His Royal Highness looked at the guy who was in his arms helplessly. The mountain road was bumpy, so they changed horses. Lou Jing had injuries on his leg and couldn’t ride a horse, so he could only ride one horse with him. But since he got on the horse, this guy hasn’t stopped. How can he look like a wounded person?
