The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 63
Li Yuanxiu was thoughtful at the side, and now even he could see Zhao Dongting's thoughts.

He thought in his heart, "Shouldn't it be time to report to the queen mother and let the emperor accept the concubine?"

At that time, there were not a few royal relatives and nobles who married wives in their teens, and some emperors had already had children when they were fourteen or fifteen years old.

The royal family attaches more importance to the continuation of the blood than the folk.

Le Wu looked at Zhao Dongting foolishly, but said: "Your Majesty, are you really going to the servant's house?"

Zhao Dongting asked strangely, "What's wrong?"

Le Wu's rare eyebrows were pleasing to the eye, "My sister said, if you say you want to go to Numaid's house, ask Numaid not to take you there."

"Why?"

Zhao Dongting was a little anxious.

Le Wu blushed and said, "Anyway, that's what my sister told me."

She doesn't want to see me?
Zhao Dongting fell silent, his face was a little sad, and the excitement just now was completely gone.He originally wanted to meet Le Chan's father, but he didn't expect that Le Chan would not let him go to her house as expected.

Or is it because I am too young?

Zhao Dongting also knew in his heart that when he called out Le Chan's name in his dream, Le Chan must have seen some of his thoughts.

At the moment, he inevitably felt a little worried about gains and losses.

Seeing Zhao Dongting like this, Le Wu fell silent.

After a while, Zhao Dongting sighed and said: "Eunuch, go and inform Liu Hongyi, and tell him that I will invite him to dinner in the palace tonight, and let him bring his wife and family members, as well as He Qingyi from the Kangding Escort Bureau." Miss He, come here."

After the victory in Quzhou Island, Zhao Dongting asked about Liu Hongyi's white cat delivering the letter, and he also remembered what he said at the gate of the city that he would reward He Qingyi.

Li Yuanxiu took the order to go down.

Le Wu pouted and summoned up her courage to ask, "Your Majesty, do you like my sister?"

Zhao Dongting was really a little embarrassed, and didn't answer directly, he just said: "Even you can see it?"

"You were calling her name in your dreams."

Yue Wu muttered softly, "You are still so young, how can you understand these things?"

Only she dared to speak like that in front of Zhao Dongting.

Hearing her words, Zhao Dongting was dumbfounded, and really didn't know how to answer.

Le Wu said again: "But my sister has a marriage contract, and she said... she won't see you again until she gets married."

When she said this, she also lowered her head slightly, feeling a little embarrassed to face Zhao Dongting.

At that time, the words of the matchmaker were very important.Even if Zhao Dongting is the emperor, it is inconvenient to forcibly break up other people's marriage contracts. Even if he really insists on doing so, it will have a great impact on Le Chan's reputation.

Zhao Dongting remained silent, just sighing softly.

He really liked Le Chan, and he really planned to marry Le Chan by force, but after arriving in Leizhou, he realized that even if he is the emperor, he can't do whatever he wants.He has unparalleled authority, but he also wants to set an example for all people.

But, should we just give up like this?
Zhao Dongting was unwilling.

What's the point of traveling to the Southern Song Dynasty and becoming an emperor, even if you can't get the woman you love?
He became a little troubled after thinking about it, and said to Le Wu and Ying Er: "Le Wu, Ying Er, you go down first, I want to rest."

Le Wu and Ying Er nodded and quietly left the room.

Zhao Dongting stared blankly at the room, struggling violently in his heart.He doesn't want to do those messy things, Ke Lechan, and he really likes it.

Time slowed down to night.

When Liu Hongyi learned that the emperor invited his whole family to the palace for dinner, he was naturally flattered. He asked his wife, Xiyi, and the maid Xiaohe to dress up carefully, bathed and burned incense, and dressed properly. When He Qingyi came home, Then he went to the palace.

A eunuch was waiting at the gate of Zhizhou Mansion, and seeing Liu Hongyi arrived, he hurriedly led them to Zhao Dongting's dining room.

In the past in Lin'an, the emperor naturally had a palace dedicated to eating, and there was also an institution such as Guanglu Temple dedicated to serving the emperor's meals.It's just that in a remote place in Leizhou, Mr. Geli used a lot of money to recruit soldiers, so the prefecture's capital is of course far less prosperous than the Lin'an Palace.The place where Zhao Dongting eats is just a room.

Of course, this room is not small, it must be hundreds of square meters square, and it is full of carved patterns and phoenixes.

There were dozens of desks on the ground, and Liu Hongyi and the others became inexplicably nervous when they were led inside.His wife, He Huixiang, hugged her husband's arm tightly. She hadn't seen the emperor yet, and she was only thinking about what the emperor looked like, except that she didn't think of Zhao Dongting as a god with three heads and six arms.

Xi Yi and the maid Xiao He were about to become even more nervous, they curled their necks and peeked at the furnishings in the room.

He Qingyi has a free-spirited temperament, and seeing Zhao Dongting again, he should be a little calmer.

The eunuch politely asked them to sit down, but they did not dare.Liu Hongyi hurriedly shied away, "The emperor hasn't arrived yet, so I'll just stand and wait."

Just as he was talking, a eunuch over there shouted sharply: "The emperor is here."

Zhao Dongting took Ying'er, Le Wu, and Li Yuanxiu into the yard, and walked towards the room with the sign "Hall of Mental Cultivation".

Liu Hongyi and his wife knelt down on the ground, Xiyi, He Qingyi and Xiao He also knelt down quickly, "Kowtow to the emperor."

Zhao Dongting smiled, "General Liu and Mrs. Liu don't need to be polite, just get up!"

Then he walked into the room first, sat behind the desk at the far end of the room, waved his hand, "Pass the meal!"

Liu Hongyi and the others dared not sit down.

Zhao Dongting said: "Sit down!"

Then he pointed to the desk in front of him and said, "You guys sit next to me."

Then he looked at Ying Er, Le Wu and Li Yuanxiu who were beside him, "Sit too, you don't need to be so cautious in front of me."

Yue Wu used to have meals with him in the bedroom, and when he heard this, he was smiling and ran down to sit down.Those imperial chefs who followed from Lin'an were quite good at their skills, and these days have made this snack food gain several catties.

Ying'er and Li Yuanxiu knew that Zhao Dongting's temper was different from that of the previous emperors, so they hesitated for a while and sat behind the desk.

After everyone was seated, Zhao Dongting said to He Huixiang with a smile, "Madam sacrificed her life for righteousness, and her integrity is outstanding, I really admire it!"

He Huixiang's face turned red, and she murmured and didn't dare to answer.

Although she is from a scholarly family, after marrying Liu Hongyi, she has never seen any great world, not even Lord Ge Li, let alone the emperor.

Zhao Dongting knew that she was nervous and didn't care, and said again: "I will make you a fourth-rank master, reward you with a hundred taels, give you five maids, and set an example for the world."

He Huixiang was even more at a loss when she heard such a big reward.

Liu Hongyi hastily tugged on her sleeve lightly, "Thank you quickly."

He Huixiang stood up, went to the hall and knelt down on the ground, "The daughter of the people thanked the emperor."

Zhao Dongting smiled and said: "Now you are a fourth-rank master, and you can no longer call yourself a daughter of the people."

He Huixiang blushed, still a little at a loss.

Li Yuanxiu took out the embroidered Ruihe imperial decree mounted on a gold scroll from his sleeve, walked to the hall and handed it to He Huixiang, "Congratulations, madam."

He Huixiang received the imperial edict, looked at Zhao Dongting again, and then stepped back, her hands were still trembling.

Although Zhao Dongting was only a child, she was the emperor after all, and she felt that her legs were a little weak.

Zhao Dongting smiled, looked at He Qingyi again, and said: "Miss Qingyi, you are not yet married, so it is not appropriate for me to make you my wife. You risk sending letters for me. It can be said that women do not give in to women. Just tell me, you want me to marry you." What reward do you have?"

Although he knew that Ge Lijun would rebel, Liu Hongyi's white cat delivered the letter and told the exact time, which was indeed a great help to the court.

He Qingyi said: "Minister girl..."

She hesitated to speak, but looked at Xiyi beside her, and replied shyly: "The daughters of the people depend on the emperor's will."

Zhao Dongting has such good eyesight, seeing her strange face, and the tenderness in her eyes looking at Xiyi, how could he not understand?
At that moment, he couldn't help sighing in his heart, Xi Yi is really lucky, but it's a pity that he likes Le Chan, but there is such a big age gap, and she still has a marriage contract.

He didn't know that Xiyi used to go to the Kangding Escort and help out all the time, which already made He Qingyi have him in his heart.

Otherwise, such a big matter as taking the risk of sending a letter might involve the entire Escort Bureau, how could He Qingyi agree to him so easily?

It's just that at that time, women were always ashamed to say such things, no matter whether they were introverted or extroverted.It is already very rare for He Qingyi to be able to look at Xiyi secretly.

Zhao Dongting looked at Xiyi with a smile, "Xiyi, your white cat is good at sending letters, what official do you want?"

Xi Yi made a bow and said, "Your Majesty, Caomin wants to be an official in Leizhou to benefit the common people."

Liu Hongyi beside him couldn't help snorting softly: "No wonder I asked you to join the army and you boy didn't go. It turned out that he was thinking of being an official."

He Huixiang said softly: "Master, Xiyi studies sage books every night and doesn't want to join the army. There is nothing wrong with being an official."

But she knew that her master treated Xiyi as his own son, and only wanted Xiyi to inherit his mantle and become a general galloping on the battlefield.

Liu Hongyi looked at his wife softly, and didn't say anything else.

Zhao Dongting knew that He Huixiang's "studying the sage's books every night" was deliberately told to himself, and he didn't care about this woman's thoughts, so he said to Xiyi: "Then I will let you be the county magistrate of Haikang County first. , but I can make an agreement with you first, if you can't manage this Haikang County well, don't blame me for dismissing your official position and giving you a idle job, the lives of the common people are no joke."

Xiyi walked to the middle with a face full of joy, knelt down on the ground, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhao Dongting waved his hand, and said: "Also, I will be your matchmaker, let Miss He marry you as your wife, how about it?"

He Qingyi's face suddenly turned red.

Xiyi was stunned, then looked at He Qingyi, couldn't help but said with joy, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the marriage."

If he didn't like He Qingyi, he wouldn't have been the first to think of He Qingyi when he sent the letter.

Li Yuanxiu said beside him: "Cheng Xixian and Miss He are talented and beautiful, a match made in heaven, your majesty, this can be said to be the beauty of adults..."

Although he is a master with excellent skills, but he has stayed in the palace for a long time, and he is also very comfortable with flattery.

Zhao Dongting just found it interesting, and said again: "I named Miss He a fourth-rank master. After you get married, the imperial edict will be sent to your house."

He said and looked at He Qingyi, "Miss He, your grade is higher than Xiyi, you have to take good care of him for me in the future."

He Qingyi nodded shyly, barely burying his head in his chest.Her pretty face was blushing, and she was so charming that Xiyi was dumbfounded.

Zhao Dongting saw their love for a concubine, and they were deeply in love, and couldn't help but think of Le Chan again.

At this time, a group of imperial physicians and maids passed on the meal, and everyone stopped talking and had a meal with peace of mind.

At the end, Zhao Dongting also said to ask Imperial Physician An to show Liu Hongyi and He Huixiang the infertility disease when he had time, which made the couple overjoyed and thanked, and then took Xiyi and the others back full of joy.Needless to say, I am grateful to Zhao Dongting in my heart.

But this night, Zhao Dongting himself was a little lonely and let Li Yuanxiu lead him up to the roof, staring at Mingyue in a daze.
