Tibetan beads

Chapter 289
The emperor didn't speak anymore, recalling Yan Cheng's performance in his heart.

After presenting the gift list, he only made one request, and that was to give himself a marriage.It was Yan Er who said that he wanted to go back, and he immediately reprimanded him, and never said a word after that.

Could it be that Concubine Li is right, Yan Cheng really doesn't want his brother to go back?

The emperor's heart moved, and he asked: "Concubine Li, if you were the son of Duke Zhao, would you want to take Yan Er back?"

Concubine Li leaned in his arms, admiring the gems, and casually said, "Of course I don't want to."

"why?"

Concubine Li pointed to the box of gems, and asked an irrelevant topic with a charming smile: "Your Majesty, are the remaining gems going to be given to Concubine Xian and Concubine An?"

The emperor smiled and acquiesced.

Concubine Li showed a jealous tone: "The concubine wished that His Majesty would only give it to the concubine, and did not want to share it with other sisters at all. I think the same is true for the son of Duke Zhao, right? I heard that Duke Zhao and his wife are very Dote on the youngest son, the second son of Yan has been away from home for so long this time, he will definitely receive double attention when he returns, then the son of Duke Zhao will fall behind, right?"

The emperor nodded involuntarily.

When he was young, he was only the lower-ranking prince, and the first few brothers were the objects of his father's love.At that time, he was very jealous, why did the emperor not care about himself.

The emperor, who thought he could see Yan Cheng's mind, smiled, and played with Concubine Li with a secret sense of pleasure.

In the middle of the night, the lights were gradually turned on, and Concubine Li stepped out of the palace gate lazily.

The palace attendants who were waiting outside bowed respectfully and welcomed her onto the chariot.

"Go back to the palace." Concubine Li propped her chin, speaking lazily.

"Yes." The chariot was lifted up, and went all the way to the harem.

While shaking, Concubine Li played with the few gems and smiled triumphantly.She took out another gemstone from her purse, but it was a pigeon's blood red that was more precious than garnet.

……

On the second day, the emperor went to the palace of the concubine Xian.

"I want you to add makeup to Miss Xie's family, do you know this?"

Concubine Xian nodded her head, the morning of the day was over, and the servants around the emperor officially came to deliver the message.

While refilling the emperor's tea, she said with a smile: "The concubine is planning to go to see His Majesty! This makeup ceremony has already been picked out, I don't know if it is suitable, please make up your mind."

The emperor waved his hand nonchalantly: "You can make up your own mind, I can't care about such trivial matters."

Concubine Xian was respectful, and explained the arrangement again: "...in addition to these few things that symbolize good luck, the concubine also wants to add a phoenix crown that she married herself."

The emperor frowned slightly, and said, "Is this inappropriate? There are regulations on the phoenix crowns you used."

Concubine Xian said softly: "Yes, the phoenix crown that the concubine married was worn by my sister, but Miss Xie's family married into the Duke Zhao's mansion, and the future son will be the prince, so she is the wife of the Duke, and she is worthy of it."

The emperor said nothing.

Concubine Xian continued: "The reason why this concubine has such an idea is mainly because she wants to show respect to Miss Xie's family. Your Majesty is currently rectifying the court, and it is time for you to be in need of help. If you show the favor to Zhao Guo, he will be grateful. I will be able to serve His Majesty better in the future. To Duke Zhao, no matter how good things are, they are not as important as the Sacred Heart, and there is nothing more important than this phoenix crown to show His Majesty's importance to your son."

The ornaments used by the concubine are more noble than the new ones. This is indeed the greatest favor for women.

The emperor nodded slightly while pondering, "It's just that this phoenix crown means a lot to you..."

Concubine Xian smiled and said: "The concubine has no children, so keeping this thing will be a shelving store. Presumably my sister is in the spirit of heaven, and she will be more pleased to see the things she used use the waste heat to share the worries of His Majesty."

Hearing what she said, the emperor thought of the great virtuous concubine who had died for many years.Maybe it was because she died too early, and what remained in the emperor's mind was still as beautiful as a flower, and he couldn't help but sighed: "Your sister is also unlucky, if she is still here..."

Concubine Xian's eyes turned red: "Yes, if my sister is still here, the little prince will grow up too."

The emperor was silent, Daxian Concubine was the first concubine among his wives and concubines to be happy, if she was born safely, she would be his eldest son.It's a pity that she didn't keep that child, and she died because of a miscarriage.

Concubine Xian wiped the corners of her eyes with her hand, and said with a forced smile: "Blame me, it brought up His Majesty's sadness again. People have to look forward, sister Quanxia Youzhi definitely hopes that His Majesty will be happy."

The two got rid of their sad emotions, and then chatted and laughed.

Concubine Xian mentioned: "It will be Qixi Festival in a few days. The concubine invited Jinghua, Jiayi and other girls to the palace to celebrate the festival. There is also the Lord of Yongjia County. She has no elders, and the concubine feels that she should do her best. Do your duty of education."

The emperor nodded: "You decide."

Concubine Xian hesitated for a moment, then asked: "Your Majesty, what about the Yan brothers? Duke Zhao claimed that he wanted to keep Second Young Master Yan in Beijing for you to teach. If they are ignored, is it..."

When the emperor accepted Zhao Guogong's money, he said casually, "Then I'll take care of them too, that boy Yan Er, who keeps saying that I take care of my children, and there's no reason for me not to take care of my own children."

"Yes, then let them enter the palace together and celebrate the festival with the prince."

……

Yanling accepted the imperial edict and was so happy that she jumped up.

"Brother, we can enter the palace for the holiday!"

Yan Cheng rolled his eyes at him: "After Chinese Valentine's Day, do you need to be so happy?"

Yanji on the side made fun of him: "My lord, celebrating the Qixi Festival is not the point, the point is who to spend it with. Miss Xu San was invited by the concubine Xian, and she will enter the palace at that time. My son is worried that he won't be able to see her!"

"So that's how it is." Yan Cheng sighed, "My child is growing up, and my heart is flying. I have never seen him so happy when the eldest brother came."

Yan Ling hurriedly said, "Of course I'm happy that big brother is here, this is a different kind of happiness!"

"All right, all right, I'm teasing you!" Yan Cheng gave him a funny look.

As he spoke, his guard came over and leaned over to whisper a few words.

Yan Cheng nodded, waved them all back, and talked to Yan Ling alone.

"The matter is half done," he said. "Your Majesty has already been persuaded. You just need to give it another push."

"So fast?" Yan Ling was surprised.

Yan Cheng knew that he was thinking about Xu Yin, and he didn't want to leave Beijing too soon, so he smiled helplessly and said, "Naturally, you should hurry up. Your Majesty has received the money now, and he is in a good mood. If it drags on, the affection will fade."

Yanling let out a dry oh.

He understands the truth, it's just...

Yan Cheng continued: "Since we can enter the palace on Qixi Festival, it is just at that time..."

He whispered his plan to Yan Ling, and finally reminded: "This is a rare opportunity, you have to be serious, think about your parents who are looking forward to your return."

When mentioning her parents, Yan Ling became serious: "Understood."
