Although the pipa is out of tune, the sound is melodious and melodious. The two sounds are intertwined, but there is a strange harmony.
Xia Yu and Qiu Shuang even felt that their young lady’s pipa could be played to their ears.
After playing several songs in a row, her interest in playing music slowly subsided. She hugged the pipa and looked at Sui Tingheng, who was sitting next to her playing the lute: "Your Highness, the Crown Prince."
The sound of the piano paused, and Sui Tingheng put his palms on the strings and turned to look at her, waiting for what she would say next.
"I am very happy tonight, thank you Your Highness." Fuyi was drunk, but still somewhat sober. She handed the pipa to the palace attendant behind her: "It's getting late, it's time for me to leave. ”
The moon was in the sky, Sui Tingheng stroked the strings of the piano, stood up and said: "I will send the girl back."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Fuyi did not refuse, she walked to Sui Tingheng's side: "Your Highness Your status is valuable. Please bring more guards with you when you leave the palace."
"Okay." Sui Tingheng held up a lamp to light up the road ahead.
When walking down the steps, Fuyi staggered and subconsciously put his hand on Sui Tingheng's arm.
“Miss Yun, be careful!”
"My daughter has offended me." Fuyi let go of his hand and apologized to him.
"No problem." Sui Tingheng handed the lamp to Mo Wen behind him and stretched out his arm: "It's difficult to walk at night, girl, help me walk."
"Thank you, Your Highness. ." Fuyi bowed and thanked her, but didn't actually put his hand over.
The prince stretched out his arm as a sign of good manners and etiquette. If she really put her hand on him, she would be callous and brainless.
Getting into the prince's chariot again, he brushed his clothes and said, "My daughter has not yet congratulated His Highness on the great joy of the crown prince Jin."
Sui Tingheng's eyes swept across her face, and he quickly regained his composure: "Today is the girl's birthday, and the birthday girl is the oldest."
Amused by these words, Fuyi supported his sleepy head with his hands: " There are countless people celebrating their birthdays today, but you are the only one in our Dalong Dynasty.”
“Are you tired?” Sui Tingheng took a cloak. , bent down and covered Fu Yi: "Go back and sleep for a while. I'll call you when I get to your mansion."
"Your Highness." Fu Yi looked at the cloak on his body: "My maid found Ning this morning. An unidentified person has entered the palace. Your Highness is the new crown prince, please be careful.”
If King Ning dares to hurt the prince, he will definitely be quartered. But she couldn't just know that the prince might be in danger without warning him because of her own personal vendetta, not to mention that this was a gentleman who had experienced hardships in his childhood and still retained his kindness.
"Desire can make people lose all reason, and I am not afraid of using my smallest mind to speculate on others." She covered her mouth with her clothes and yawned: "Your Highness is a gentleman, but a gentleman does not build dangerous walls. Please take more precautions. ”
The carriage became quiet and Fuyi fell asleep.
Sui Ting looked at her uneasy sleeping face, blew out the candles in the car, lifted the curtain and called Xia Yu and Qiu Shuang in to accompany Fu Yi, and he got on the horse.
The night was filled with fog, and a drunk man stumbled out of the alley.
“Who is coming?!” Jin Wuwei drew his sword and was on guard.
"Hiss." Suiyu rubbed his sore head. He only drank a few glasses of wine today, how could he fall drunk in the alley. After standing up and walking a few steps, he saw the bright sword under the moonlight. He was so frightened that he half woke up: "Jinwu Guard?"
Jinwu Guard not only maintains the security of the capital, but also has an important responsibility. To protect the safety of the emperor, only the emperor and the prince could be accompanied by so many sword-carrying Jinwu Guards.
"The guilty minister Sui Liu came to see His Highness the Crown Prince." Sui Liu knelt down and knelt down without thinking.
"No need to be polite, cousin, please get up." Sui Tingheng looked down at Sui Nuan expressionlessly: "It's so late, why is my cousin here, and where are the people serving around me? "Where?"
"Attendant..." Suiyu shook his dizzy mind. He ran out of Caiyinfang in a hurry a few hours ago and seemed to have lost his attendant at that time.
He couldn't remember what happened next.
Sui Tingheng raised his hand gently, and a Jinwu guard walked into the alley, and quickly picked up a jade pendant in the alley.
Sui Tingheng recognized this piece of jade pendant. It was a rare piece of warm jade. Sui Lu once showed off in front of him.
Seeing the jade pendant, Suiyu also remembered the things he had done before, and a cold sweat broke out on his back.
Why did he wear this piece of jade today?
Sui Tingheng looked back at the carriage behind him and signaled Jin Wuwei to return the jade pendant to Sui Lu: "Send Marquis Gongping back to his home."
Sui Lu did not dare to speak, only feeling that the jade pendant in his hand was more powerful than a needle. It also pricks the hand.
The carriage stopped outside Yun Mansion, Xia Yu and Qiu Shuang helped Fu Yi get out of the car. Seeing that Xia Yu was about to take off the cloak from Fu Yi, Sui Tingheng said: "Put it on well. You are most afraid of catching the cold when you are drunk."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Qiu Shuangxing bowed to express his thanks.
Sui Tingheng glanced at Fuyi and left on horseback.
"Your Highness, it's getting late, you should have a rest." Mo Wen saw that the prince was still writing in the study after returning to the palace, so he couldn't help but persuade him: "Tomorrow is the court meeting, and you have to get up early."
< br>"Gu Xin knows better, please step back." Sui Tingheng took a sip of bitter tea and picked up the pen to continue the memorial that he had not finished writing today.
[The frontier is bitterly cold, the soldiers have failed the people, and we cannot fail them either...]
The courtiers did not expect that the prince proposed to increase the pay of the soldiers on the frontier for the first time he attended the court meeting. . Several high-ranking courtiers secretly breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that they were only given one or two more salary every year. This was much more reliable than His Majesty.
A few days ago, Your Majesty asked to increase the salary of the soldiers by five taels. How much is this expenditure? Who can agree?
The Minister of Hubu was so angry that he resigned and returned to his hometown. Your Majesty would rather recall Yun Wanggui from Chongzhou to be the Minister of Hubu instead of giving up the idea.
Now that His Highness the Crown Prince has given a well-founded explanation of the reasons for the increase in pay and the figures that they can accept with gritted teeth, not many people in the court objected fiercely.
The prince personally proposed one tael of silver. It would be hard for your majesty to reject the prince’s face and insist on giving five taels, right?
"What do you think, gentlemen?" The emperor winked at several of his closest ministers, as if he wanted them to stand up and oppose the figure proposed by the prince.
"Master Chen." The emperor stretched out his hand from his sleeve and gestured with five fingers.
Mr. Chen turned his head silently, pretending not to see His Majesty's open dragon claws: "I agree with His Highness the Crown Prince's proposal."
"Sir Zhao?" The emperor waved his sleeves and just missed the five to Mr. Zhao. Come forward.
"Old minister also agrees." Mr. Zhao stared at the Chao Hut in his hand, lowering his head and not looking at the emperor.
"Zhang..."
"I second the proposal!"
"I second the motion!"
"You...you..." The emperor clenched his hands into fists and looked at the courtiers who did not look at him with disappointment: "That's all, since the prince has the heart to care for the soldiers. , then it will be as he wishes."
The anger in the hearts of the ministers was completely relieved. They were afraid that the emperor would suddenly lift his sleeves and cry and make trouble again and insist on adding money. Then they would have no choice but to do so. I objected to the death. They happily looked at the prince standing in the front. Fortunately, His Royal Highness was there.
Yun Wanggui raised his head and glanced at the emperor on the throne, then at the tall and tall Crown Prince, lowering his head to hide the smile on his face.
If he was not mistaken, His Majesty's original plan was to increase the salary by one tael, not five taels.
How much money is there in the treasury that can be spent? Your Majesty has a clear mind, so how can you really ask the Ministry of Revenue to spend so much money?
This plan is very clever. It not only improves the status of His Royal Highness in the hearts of the military commanders, but also achieves the goal.
Sometimes when you take ten steps forward and take eight steps back, it is easy to forget that even if you take eight steps back, you have already taken two steps forward.
"Yunqing family, do you have any objections?"
"Your Majesty is wise and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is kind, and all the ministers are amazed." Yun Wanggui bowed and bowed: "Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince care about the soldiers on the border. It is a blessing to the soldiers. The soldiers guard the border with all their heart, and it is also a blessing to all the people in the world."
The ministers reacted and began to praise Yun Wanggui together. Praise a few more words so that His Majesty will not regret it on the spot and speak in small numbers.
After the court, the emperor took Sui Tingheng back to the imperial study, laughed and said: "My son's plan is very clever, they really agreed!"
"There is Zhang Yu in front of me. History's words and deeds are inconsistent, but your memorial later moved people's hearts ." The emperor patted Sui Tingheng on the shoulder: "My son is very smart!"
"My father trusts his ministers." Sui Tingheng knew in his heart that this calculation must not be clever, it all depends on his father's ability. He saves face and never fears himself.
"If I don't believe it, who do you believe?" In private, the emperor rarely called me "me" in front of his wife and children. He sat in front of the imperial cabinet and looked at the table full of memorials and worried: "If you are willing to be the emperor, wait until the three years of filial piety are over. I will also give you the throne. When the time comes, I will go out with the soldiers, and you will handle the government affairs in the capital."
These memorials are overwhelming, but the civil servants still love to talk. In just two years, his hair has changed. It has become much sparser.
"Father." Sui Tingheng sighed: "Father, please don't say such things."
Realizing that this was inappropriate, the emperor coughed dryly, opened the memorial and asked: " I heard that you came back very late last night?"
"There were some delays on the way." Sui Tingheng put the important memorial on the left, "Father, please rest assured that I will not be here before the canonization ceremony. Leave the palace again.”
"That's good, have a good rest in the palace these days." The emperor glanced at the bruises under Sui Tingheng's eyes and teased: "If you don't sleep well, you will become ugly. Be careful that the future princess will dislike your appearance."< br>
Sui Tingheng's hands arranging the memorial paused slightly, and soon returned to normal: "Father, I was joking."
"It doesn't matter if you stay up late occasionally, I He is both civilized and military, and looks like Pan An, so he will not be disliked by the Crown Princess." The emperor did not notice anything strange about Sui Tingheng: "If you like a girl, just tell your father and he will grant you a marriage."
Sui Tingheng opened a memorial and said calmly: "Father, I am not in the mood for love at the moment."
He did not dare to force her at all.
"You are already eighteen years old, and you are still drunk like this. Now you know you have a headache?" Liu Qiongzhi rubbed the temples of Fuyi who was lying on his knees: "The Liu family came to visit this morning. Are you familiar with Liu Zihe?"
"Liu Zihe ?" Fuyi hugged Liu Qiongzhi's waist and said coquettishly: "I have nothing to do with him."
"I think the Liu family wants to get married to our family."
"The Liu family. Which girl?" Fu Yi became more energetic.
"What girl, the Liu family wants to marry you." Liu Qiongzhi stroked Fu Yi's hair: "If you have no intention of Liu Zihe, I will directly reject the Liu family's suggestion."
"I don't even remember what he looks like, so what can he mean?" Fuyi smelled the fragrance of his mother: "What's the benefit of getting married? I want to be with my mother for the rest of my life."
" I think you want me to worry about you for the rest of your life." Liu Qiongzhi snorted with a half-smile, her expression was gentle: "It's okay if you don't want to get married."
Ever since she saw her daughter being shot by an arrow and falling off a cliff, she understood that life and death are at stake. In front of me, nothing matters anymore.
It doesn’t matter whether she gets married or not, it doesn’t matter whether she has a future or not. As long as she lives well, she can be worth everything in the world.
"Your Majesty, the prince has not come out of the palace these days. The plan to assassinate him should be stopped." In the teahouse box, the counselor was sitting by the window. The grand ceremony of establishing the crown prince is approaching, and red silk fabrics have begun to be hung on the streets. Many shops are also attracting customers from out of town under the banner of celebrating the establishment of the crown prince.
Originally, the emperor scheduled the canonization ceremony within half a month, but later changed it to the day of the prince's birthday. All the ministers in the court were guessing the emperor's intention in delaying the canonization ceremony. Now seeing the envoys from surrounding countries arriving in a hurry, the counselor finally understood the reason.
It turned out that the emperor thought that the registration ceremony was not grand enough, and insisted on waiting for surrounding envoys to come to support the prince. It is said that the late emperor doted on Prince Ning, but this love was far less than the importance his Majesty now attaches to the prince.
"The emperor attaches great importance to the prince, and his love for the queen is as deep as the sea." The counselor glanced at several envoys wearing foreign costumes on the street, "But there are a few men in the world who are not greedy for beauty and love beauty. Always mutable."< br>
Ning Wang raised his eyebrows slightly: "You mean it's a beauty trap?"
"Who doesn't love beauties? The emperor and the prince are both men." The counselor put down the teacup: "Why don't you try it, my lord?" ?”
"I understand, you can make arrangements yourself." Prince Ning raised the tea cup, and the counselor stepped back knowingly.
The hero is saddened by the beauty. Whether the emperor or the prince falls into the trap, it is extremely beneficial to them. The counselor couldn't help but smile enigmatically when he thought about the benefits that would come after the plan was successful.
"Bold, who are you?!" In his daze, he accidentally bumped into a woman. Before he could see clearly who she was, his arm was twisted. During the struggle, a purse fell from his sleeve. fall out.
"Okay, let me tell you how sneaky you are when you hit someone, it turns out he is a thief!"
The counselor looked at the ground and saw that it was an embroidered purse, because the purse contained silver. It was too full, and two pieces of silver fell out of the purse.
"Miss, your purse!" Xia Yu picked up the purse on the ground and handed it to Fu Yi: "Fortunately, I found it in time and prevented the villain from succeeding."
The counselor was held captive by Qiu Shuang and could not move. He raised his head and saw clearly the person who had taken the purse, and couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise: "Yun Fuyi?"
"You really know me." Fuyi smiled inexplicably, looked up at the teahouse, and suddenly said loudly: "Did you already know that I had money on me, so you followed me on purpose?"
>
When something like this happened on a busy street, all the people nearby gathered around.
“With so much money, luckily the girl found it in time, otherwise the thief would have been advantaged.”
"Looking at the human appearance, I didn't expect him to be a thief and stalking a pretty girl."
"Girl, I'm strong, I'll beat him up for you."
"Thank you all for your help. Thank you for your kindness." Fu Yi bowed to everyone and said, "Many foreign envoys have arrived in the capital in recent days. We can't cause trouble and let outsiders laugh. "
"The girl is right." A strong man took back his foot and was about to kick the counselor: "Then we accompany the girl to send this person to the government?"
"Thank you, knights. "Shishi." Fuyi's face was filled with emotion: "If it weren't for the help of the knights, we three weak women wouldn't know what to do."
The counselor's eyes widened in disbelief, unable to imagine how things had turned out like this.
He?
A thief?
The people watching the excitement: Such a pretty little girl actually calls them chivalrous people, then they must not let this thief go!
