Great Sui Storyteller

Chapter 268 267. In the Harem
Xianren Palace.

The Number Four Under Heaven who was still admired by Pegasus City during the day was standing respectfully on the side of the dragon chair like an old slave at this moment, with lowered eyebrows and eyes, all showing respect.

The main hall was dimly lit, only the scarlet glow from the occasional burning of the charcoal pots on both sides of the dragon chair.

There was no movement in the huge main hall.

Isolated from the moonlight, but also isolated from the cold.

On the dragon chair, Yang Guang, who didn't wear the Tongtian Crown on his head, but a belt made of gold, just leaned on the dragon chair, closed his eyes, and breathed long and calmly.

Actually... fell asleep.

And he was holding a memorial in his hand.

The memorial is precarious, and it seems that it will fall at any time.

moment……

Finally, the hand holding the memorial could no longer hold it.

The fold fell and was about to hit Yang Guang's leg.

But in mid-air, it stilled out of thin air.

Then it slowly floated to the side.

The fourth under heaven with drooping eyebrows held it in both hands and placed it in front of the table.

Still no sound at all.

But it was because of the wrong feel in this hand that Yang Guang, who was leaning on the dragon chair, lost his hand strength and slowly opened his eyelids.

Seeing this, Huang Xizi bowed even lower:
"His Majesty."

"……Um."

Sitting up straight in a daze, Yang Guang responded, looked at the dimly lit Xianren Palace, and asked:

"What time is it?"

"You and Xu's friendship."

According to later generations, he heard it in the emperor's ears around 7 o'clock, and he was a little surprised.

"How long have I been asleep?"

"Go back to Your Majesty, after taking the elixir, I slept for an hour."

"Um... ha... um."

Yawned, Yang Guang rubbed his face:

"When did the national teacher leave?"

"Shortly after His Majesty fell asleep."

Hearing this, Yang Guang nodded:

"Well, this pill of the national teacher is really mysterious. This sleep feels more comfortable than sleeping all day. My whole body is warm, and I have enough strength... It's a pity, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep again tonight."

Say, get up.

With Huang Xizi's support, he got off the dragon chair in the dim light.

"Your Majesty, do you want to drive back to the harem?"

"Ah."

"Then... Today, the palace maid who has arrived in the palace of the Three Hundred Excellences has all the white clothes she wears when stretching. May your majesty go and have a look?"

Palace foot girl.

A unique profession throughout the ages.

These women are specially used for pulling fibers in the canal.

The emperor watched from the boat, and thousands of white-clothed palace foot girls stretched their muscles along the banks.

The woman has a soft and beautiful body, but she just does the job of a tracker.

It is the best view in the world.

Now the well-known "Mrs. Kongtong" Wu Jiangxian in the palace was born as a palace foot girl. After being valued, Yang Guang personally said to the minister:

"The ancients said that if beauty is delicious, it can really cure hunger like a fairy."

But upon hearing this, Yang Guang shook his head:

"It's as cold as a roadside wild dog in winter. What's there to see. Go back to the queen. Today Dong'er came to the palace to pay her respects. I don't think I've seen you, so I'm afraid she won't leave."

As he spoke, a kind and doting smile appeared on his face:

"My grandson is too clingy to be honest. This time I want to make a noise again when I go to Jiangdu and take him with me."

Huang Xizi smiled:
"His Royal Highness King Yue's pure heart is a model of filial piety in ancient and modern times. Please rest assured, this servant has specially prepared some things that His Highness Yue loves, and it should be able to relieve His Majesty's heart."

The two walked out while talking.

After hearing this, Yang Guang raised his eyebrows:
"Oh? What have you prepared? Dong'er is not so easy to dismiss. What else is there for him in the capital? Xiaoxi, you can think about it. If Dong'er is not satisfied, I will beat you of."

"Your Majesty, please allow this servant to keep it secret for the time being."

"Haha~"

Waved the chariot back.

Yang Guang's laughter resounded throughout the palace.

"This is strange. Well, I want to see what your plan is. If you do it well, you will be rewarded. If Dong'er doesn't like it... I don't want to beat you, but when Dong'er starts messing around, I can't control it." .hahaha~"

The master and servant who have been together for decades don't speak so much.

Under Huang Xizi's wide-eyed smile, the two walked all the way to the queen's residence in the harem.

Before going in, I heard a young voice from inside:
"Grandmother, grandson, I have tried my best to imitate my grandfather. Although the three masters all said that they are [-]% similar, my grandson always feels that I am much less charming than my grandfather. Why is that?"

Yang Guang paused, and the smile on his face became softer.

Then, another woman's voice sounded:
"Stupid child, let's learn characters and imitate famous masters. It's just the shape that makes the difference. You have to figure out the charm."

"Grandson knows it, but grandfather's handwriting has a charm like a dragon, which is the spirit of the master of the world. Even my grandson can't imitate it. Sigh... I always feel that my writing is so bad..."

Hearing this, Yang Guang didn't hesitate, and walked directly into the palace gate.

The voice also rang:
"Then wait until you become the emperor, and that's it."

If this word is spread, it will shake the government and the public.

It is equivalent to directly calling the names of who will be crowned the Great Treasure.

However, neither Huang Xizi nor the maids guarding the door showed any surprise in their eyes.

Since Yuande Prince Yang Zhao passed away due to illness, although the East Palace was vacant, Yang Guang never made another prince.Instead, Yang Tan, Yang Tong, and Yang You, the sons of Prince Yuande, were directly named princes.

Yang Tan is modest and gentle, Yang Tong is intelligent and quick-witted, and Yang You is simple and innocent.

And to say that Yang Guang's favorite is the two brothers Yang Tan and Yang Tong.

It's just that Yang Tan values ​​Confucianism and has the style of a gentleman, but he doesn't covet the throne at all.In the face of Yang Guang's famous saying that he has no desire for the throne, he hopes to pass it on to his younger brother.

And Yang Tong is intelligent, and he has been deeply taught by Yang Guang's power. He has been awarded many times, and he is appointed to stay in Dongdu every time he travels. It is no longer a surprise that Yang Tong will become emperor in the future. .

Otherwise, if there is no matter of the crown prince in the East Palace, I am afraid that the sky would have been turned upside down long ago.

Therefore, in the face of these words, everyone has no opinion.

And in the courtyard, a young man with red lips and white teeth, who was watching calligraphy at the stone table with Queen Xiao, was full of surprise when he heard this.

Putting down the penholder, he quickly ran to Yang Guang's side:

"Grandson pays respects to grandfather."

After finishing speaking, I will say goodbye.

Yang Guang raised his hand:
"Okay, okay, good boy."

After supporting the young man, Yang Guang said with a smile:

"Dong'er, you need to remember that when you look at the characters clearly in calligraphy, you can actually see the courage in a person's chest. On the surface, it looks like a talented person, but the writing is as big as a hand's head, which shows that this person is not very generous. On the surface It looks vulgar on the surface, but even if there are hills and valleys in the chest, even if the handwriting is scribbled, you can still see its chest. This is how to observe characters as you observe people, do you understand?"

The young man nodded vigorously, and personally supported Yang Guang as he walked towards the stone table, and replied:
"Grandson always remembers his grandfather's teachings. Grandfather, what my grandson copied just now is my grandfather's law of the four seasons...Although my grandson's handwriting is not as good as my grandfather's, I still ask my grandfather to give me some pointers... If my grandson's writing can Into the eyes of the grandfather... I also ask the grandfather to allow the grandson to go to Jiangdu with the grandfather next year to serve him. Okay?"

When he spoke, his eyes were still blinking, and they were full of little stars.

It seems to be acting cute.

But Yang Guang just laughed, but didn't answer.

Seeing this, the young man started acting coquettishly:

"Grandfather... grandson is begging grandfather. Grandson also wants to be like elder brother, listening to the teachings at the knees of grandparents~ Grandfather will go to Jiangdu for several months, and grandson really misses..."

"Hahaha~"

Feeling the heartfelt thoughts of his little grandson, Yang Guang smiled heartily.

But still didn't agree.

"You are the King of Yue, and you are staying behind in the Eastern Capital. Who will take care of Luoyang City when you go to Jiangdu? Next time, next time, grandfather will take you to visit Jiangdu together, how about it?"

"grandfather……"

The boy looked like he was about to cry.

The stars in the eyes began to become moist.

Logically speaking, a child of [-] or [-] would make such an expression... Others don't know why, but if Li Zhen came here and saw it, he would definitely want to give him a big slap (slap).

And it's not a girl.

It's not a three or five-year-old little Zhengtai who doesn't rely on deliberation but is naturally cute.

You're all starting to grow hair.

What kind of coquettish are the elders?

Are you super sweet too?
Unfortunately, Yang Guang loves this.

As soon as his grandson acted like a baby, his head became confused.

But it's okay... At this moment, the woman in palace costume who had been smiling and watching from the side spoke:

"Okay, Donger. Let your grandfather read the characters first."

"Grandmother~~~"

"OK OK."

Faced with her grandson's acting like a baby, Empress Xiao smiled dotingly, but she still shook her head.

Then he got up and said:

"The concubine is going to bring the boiled sugar water to His Majesty. Your Majesty just woke up, so don't drink tea, drink some sugar water to moisten the heart and lungs."

"okay."

Yang Guang, who came back to his senses, nodded, walked into the pavilion, looked at the handwritten copy of his four lawyers of "Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter" on the table, and nodded secretly while reading.

"Well, yes, but after all, your wrist strength is a little weaker. But don't act too hastily, young man, your bones are not yet formed. In a few years, your wrist will know how to use force, and your writing will only be better than it is now."

As he spoke, the young man on the side bowed and listened.

But he didn't speak.

There was even some reluctance in his brows and eyes.

Yang Guang turned his head and took a look...

Others treat him, the emperor, with trepidation as if walking on thin ice.

If the young man in front of him dared to pout in front of His Majesty if he was seen by others... he would be charged with "disrespect in front of the palace".

However, Yang Guang only eats this.

The next generation's relatives performed vividly on his side.

But he also knew that his grandson pouted not because he criticized the characters, but because he couldn't go to Jiangdu.

So he turned his eyes and looked at Huang Xizi:

"Xiao Xi."

The Fourth Under Heaven, who had been bowing beside him, took a step forward:
"His Majesty."

"Bring the gift for Dong'er."

"The slaves obey the order."

Huang Xizi walked out quickly.

moment.

While Yang Guang was drinking a bowl of lotus seed soup made by the queen himself, he walked in with five young eunuchs.

Two strips.

A plaque.

It was placed in front of the grandpa and grandson.

Yang Guang was stunned...

Don't you mean a gift?

Whose house was demolished?

When he was astonished, his eyes fell on the handwriting on the pair of plaques.

It doesn't matter if you don't look.

one look……

Good word.
