The Record of Reemployment of the Laid-off Emperor

Chapter 10 [Old Dream] The sun that has long since fallen

I am the only son of Qingyangtu who survived to adulthood.

When Qingyangtu was young, he was a hard-working master. When he was the prince, the concubines of Manfu concubines were like an old hen, laying eggs for him one by one.

It will be even more amazing when he becomes emperor.In the first two years, he changed the draft system from once every three years to three times a year, and the harem soon became crowded like a beehive.

I was born in the second year when he became emperor, and my biological mother was the daughter of a small official who was selected in a draft.She neither has the beauty of the sky and the country that the monarch loves, nor does she have the support of powerful power behind her.

As a matter of course, she is like the weeds growing in the cracks of the floor tiles everywhere in the palace, small and humble, forgotten in the deep corner of the palace.

For a long time, Qingyang Road did not give me a name.He has too many children to think of me, the product of a one-night affair.The concubine mother didn't dare to name me in private, so she had to call me according to the order, Xiao Shiqi and Xiao Shiqi.

Although it is not taken seriously, no one is critical.I can climb up the tallest jujube tree in Huilou to beat red dates, and my concubine catches the fallen dates with a dustpan.I can also sneak into the Royal Garden with Sister Xiaowan, and catch a chubby golden koi in the small pond.

My concubine would make red date cake for me, and would hold my hand to raise the koi in the small pond we dug in the backyard.

More often, she would sit on the stone steps with me in her arms and tell me about the place where she grew up, her hometown.When telling a story, her eyes will light up, like the sun and the moon rising and setting in her pupils, innocent and pure.

In the palace, innocence is a derogatory term.

Within a few years, Qingyangtu's sons died one after another, suffering from leprosy, colic, and accidentally falling into the water.

In the end, only the seventeen sons who grew up in the palace listening to the heroic stories dictated by their mother and concubine remained.

Growing up wildly in the palace for nine years, I didn't expect to have the opportunity to meet my biological father who was only known by name but never seen.I remember very clearly that day, two teams of eunuchs and maids surrounded by the figure of Daoming Huang pushed open the gate of our small courtyard.

That was the first time I saw Qingyangtu, the twelve prongs on his hair crown hung down to block his cold brows and eyes, I only saw the corners of his mouth, which was as dazzling as the sun hanging high in the sky.Unlike the anxiety of the mother and concubine, I am very excited.

I also have my own name - Bi.The mother and concubine were conferred the title of third grade Xuan and his wife, and moved into the magnificent palace. The status and respect that she should have received after giving birth to the dragon son came nine years late.

At the beginning, I was full of joy to be valued by Qingyang Tu, because he was my biological father, the sun of the entire Yong Dynasty, and because it could bring great glory to my mother and concubine.

But he is not the sun at all.

Realizing this, I have already been canonized as the prince by Qingyang Road. At that time, I was in high spirits, and Shangzuo hoped to be allowed to attend the discussions of the princes.

That night palace received an ingenious gift - poisoned red coral.

The prisoner was so blatant, it was written on the post—Sima Mansion sincerely respects him.I let the palace man rush straight to the imperial study with this gift, furious, I thought Qingyang Tu would be as angry as me, after all he acted like a good father.

However, I was disappointed. He was the sun that fell early, so he could only repeat lies to himself and to me.Something must have gone wrong?How could Sima do such a rebellious thing?

I also finally understood why I was the only one who survived among the many princes, because I was inconspicuous enough, like a weed.

……

Ever since Qi Guanwei left, I couldn't eat or sleep well for several days, and I always had some weird dreams at night.What the hell does he mean?I broke apart what Qi Guanwei said, crushed it, and repeated it in my mind.

After a long while, I came to a conclusion that I didn't even believe. Didn't he want to surrender to me? ?

The crown prince has always organized a small team in the Eastern Palace. In the future, this group of people will often become the new ministers of the humerus. Youdao is a generation of newcomers replacing old ones.

But my ministers are one foolish, two old, and three restless and kind, and after all the calculations, none of them are worth using.

No wonder I think too much, it's because Qi Guanwei's inexplicable words are too intriguing.

I decided to ask in person, and sent my servants to look for Qi Guanwei's trace, but there was no news for a while, and suddenly I remembered the bitch that Qi Guanwei specifically mentioned...

Qingping was preparing breakfast in the small kitchen, I paced behind her, "Where did you put the person I brought back a few days ago?"

"Does Your Highness want to see the group of young actresses brought back from Yangchun Terrace last month, or the lady brought back from Spring River Night last month..."

"Stop, stop, the one I brought back from Taixue..." I quickly interrupted Qingping, "By the way, did I bring so many people back?"

Qingping stopped kneading the dough, sighed softly, and said earnestly: "You should pay more attention to those little actors, the eldest one is fourteen. You don't let go of it when you bring it back. It's not reasonable And Miss Wan from Spring River Night, please tell me if you want to accept it or not. If you want to accept it, I will arrange it immediately. What is the idea of ​​those people who came back?"

Idea, how can I have an idea?But judging by their colors, they are easy to collect. They are no different from the colorful flowers in the garden. They are all objects, used to add color.

"Send it to the palace to show to the concubine mother. If anyone she likes, stay in the palace to relieve her boredom. Ask them if they want to stay or leave. Those who want to leave will be given a sum of money, and those who want to stay... ..." My words got stuck at this point, and I thought for a moment: "That's all, let's send them away."

I, the prince, just listened to it brightly, maybe I will be dragged to the vegetable market and beheaded one day, and the few deaths will be counted.

"Young Master Xun, the slave is arranged in the east wing, do you want to see him?"

"Nope," I shook my head, "You're welcome."

Qi Guanwei took action repeatedly because of this kid, presumably this kid has some weight in his heart, I don't care if I can use it in my hands, I can't go on a business trip.

The person sent out to inquire about the news came back, and I took a piece of peach blossom cake and left quickly.

"You said Qi Guanwei was on the Spring River Night?"

I was a little surprised that the person who answered was standing at the foot of the stone steps with a bow.What kind of place is Spring River Night?Merry place.Who is Qi Guanwei?The well-known young master of troubled times, the most popular saying at the moment is that a man dies under a peony flower, and even a ghost is flirtatious.

The situation of the country is in danger. In the south, the Song family divides the territory and divides the soil, and in the north, there are barbarians watching.In such a situation, everyone believes in instant gratification.

And Qi Guanwei can be regarded as a clean stream, he has always kept himself clean, he does not touch the romantic scene at all, and the girls and sons who admire him can line up from the east to the west of the city.

Finally I can't pretend anymore!Which man doesn't steal?

I couldn't sit still, and immediately asked my servants to prepare horses and go to Spring River Night.

Spring River Night stands by the riverside, it is a small four-story building, with colorful flags fluttering outside, and melodious sounds inside, so it is a good day to proclaim obscenity.The lobby is dedicated to those literati and poets dancing and writing, and the beauty is so happy with the red sleeves on the side.

I am more familiar with the ground here than the East Palace, so I got off the horse, don't open the door to attract customers, and went straight upstairs.

Many people in the lobby recognized me, and there was a commotion for a while.

Some people hurriedly knelt down, and if they didn't know who they knew, they asked and whispered to each other. When they found out who I was, their expressions changed drastically, and they also knelt down.

My prince's name is quite bluffing. At other times, I would have been slowly accepting everyone's worship with my hands behind my back, but now I am in a hurry to catch Qi Guanwei's current situation!Try to catch the traitor in bed, and see if he still has the face to claim the title of Mr. Yu in the future!

Pushing open the door one by one, but not finding Qi Guanwei, ruined many people's good deeds.

The last one, I took a deep breath, and I will definitely come here again.Thinking of the scene that might appear inside the door, his fingertips trembled slightly with excitement, and he tilted his head and told the attendant standing behind him, "You guys will see clearly later, and whatever you see, add fuel to me and speak out."

Wait for ruin!

Pushing open the door suddenly, I froze.

The picture was unexpected, not as popular as I imagined.The interior furnishings are simple, just a table and a couch.

Qi Guan lay slightly on the soft couch, his chest heaved and he breathed lightly.

Someone came to Chunjiang Yechun to sleep!

I deliberately slammed on the door, making a loud muffled sound, and commanded the attendants in a vicious voice, "You guys go away."

A newcomer didn't wink, stretched his neck and asked, "Are you still making a big deal of it, Your Highness?"

I walked into the room with a dark face and slammed the door behind me.

Qi Guan moved his eyelashes slightly, apparently he was about to wake up, I didn't have the consciousness of waking anyone up, so I went to the low table and bent down to pour myself a cup of tea.

Holding the teacup around twice, he glanced at Qi Guanwei, but he still didn't wake up.

I completely lost my patience and stuck the cold ceramic cup on Qi Guanwei's face.

The eyelashes of the person on the bed were slightly opened, perhaps because of being woken up, the eyes were filled with a layer of water, like fog.

Damn it!I actually feel that Qi Guanwei is a bit fragile!Quickly shook his head to get this unrealistic thought out of his mind, how could Qi Guanwei be weak, he searched all over the Yong Dynasty and couldn't find anyone who could put on a show more than him!

"What are you doing here?" Qi Guanwei's voice was a little hoarse.

What do you want me to do?Could it be that he came to the door on his own and said some inexplicable words that made me restless?

Or did Qi Guanwei say that just to make fun of me?

Well, he got it!

Even though I knew it was impossible, on the way I couldn't help but think about what Qi Guanwei said that day and the expression on his face when he said it.Maybe he really thinks I am capable and wants to follow me?There is something more addictive than angering Qi Guanwei - to get his surrender.

I don't want to admit that I made a mistake because I was too sentimental, so I just put all the blame on Qi Guanwei.

Putting down the teacup, I gritted my teeth: "You slept really well."

I have been suffering for many days, but you slept soundly!

"The other day you came to the Eastern Palace, why did you ask me that question?" I stared at Qi Guanwei with an unfriendly expression, my five fingers clenched into fists in my sleeves.

I swear, if he dares to show even the slightest bit of mockery, I will let him enter the door vertically and exit horizontally.

"I heard that His Highness is recruiting ministers?" Qi Guan sat up slightly, and slowly straightened his clothes with his slender and dry fingers. ?

I thought I had an auditory hallucination, so I loosened my clenched fingers, and used my little finger to dig my ear canal, "Are you talking in your sleep?"

The mist in Qi Guanwei's eyes cleared, and his eyes were clear, "I am willing to do my best for His Highness."
