The world is heavy and late

Chapter 31

It turned out that Xia Qing's conjecture was correct, and of course it was only half correct.

The emperor was also a little irritable. The matter of setting up a new queen was something he had thought about early in the morning, but he hadn't been going very smoothly.

He wanted to find an unrelated family, who could take care of the harem, be kuanhe and love the people to be a good mother of the country, and in the end, of course, he wanted a queen who was beautiful and beautiful.

Of course it can't be done, if she is very capable, she should be able to do it if she is well-groomed.

He is the emperor, and this request is not too much.

But there are quite a few courtiers who are not close to the family, but they are not as old as him, or they are not as old as him. There are also those who are of the right age, but there are also many who are engaged.

Da Jin didn't talk about the draft, so of course his own daughter had to meet and make a decision early.

I finally found one or two suitable ones, but I was not very good at opening my mouth.Shouldn't the concubine be chosen by the empress dowager and the empress?How can I say it myself, I am so entangled.

Then when the harem incident broke out, he didn't feel ashamed anymore, so he directly asked his father and brother for hints, but he was rejected!

got rejected!

Father and elder brother: The harem is so cruel and chaotic, it has not been taken care of for many years, and my daughter and sister don't have that courage.

In fact, if the emperor wants to accept a concubine, they will not say anything, and they will even happily send the person there. After all, the pillow wind is also the wind, but you want to marry the queen, implying that the post is vacant.

If the concubine did something wrong, it was just that the emperor was scolded for his poor vision.

But if the queen makes a mistake, her natal family will be criticized for not being able to teach girls, and the girls in their family will not be able to marry in the future.

The fact is indeed the case, the emperor had a good plan, and wanted a queen who would share his worries.

But girls with such abilities don't have to worry about marrying at all, and capable girls are already of high birth, and they don't need this kind of emperor's grace. There is no need to take the honor of the whole family for this glory.

There are Concubine Shu Cui Jieyu in the palace and a lot of beauties from aristocratic families, there are courtiers, aristocratic families and thousands of people outside the palace, and there has been no owner in the palace for many years, this queen is hard to think about.

Well, in Dajin, the emperor is the master of the world, but also the servant of the world. Although the master is often the master, but occasionally he will be disliked, especially when you still want to be a wise king.

The emperor saw that the New Year's Eve was approaching, and he really had a headache again. He thought that he had to go back to deal with the palace affairs of the harem after offering sacrifices to heaven and banqueting the ministers outside. Originally, he didn't care about these things, but because of what happened earlier, He still has to come to town.

So the emperor finally couldn't hold back anymore, especially when he saw his son running around because the annual leave was given ten days in advance, he picked him up and said viciously:

"Can't you be more self-sufficient and find yourself a capable stepmother?"

The prince looked like you were making trouble for no reason again, sighed decently and said:
"Father, but you already have many concubines."

The emperor also knew that he had gone to the doctor in a hurry, so he glanced at the harem and said:

"But they're all useless, and I can't send them all home."

In fact, the emperor didn't complain for long, because he was going to deal with palace affairs now. He never expected that there were no official duties but palace affairs during the New Year's Day.

The little prince looked at his father busy, but actually felt a little distressed. The emperor was the only son, and the training was true, but he liked it too.

So word spread in the palace the next day that the emperor was going to have a beauty pageant.

The emperor was already very angry when Xu Ji reported it, but he didn't show it, because he didn't know who was planning him with this news, so he still remained ignorant.

But seeing Xu Ji raised his eyes to look at the emperor, he said in a low voice, "The people below said it came from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Immediately, the emperor lost all doubts, only anger was left. He snapped the brush in his hand and said angrily, "Bring him here."

Xu Ji immediately sent someone to invite the young prince. Seeing that the emperor was still full of anger, he immediately lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, calm down."

Although Xu Ji lowered his head, he was not afraid at all. He felt that as long as the prince did not seek rebellion or form a party for personal gain, nothing would really happen to the prince. Well, there will be no casualties in the end. a little.

This was indeed the case, Xu Ji personally sent off the sobbing little prince, and heard all kinds of complaints from the prince along the way that the emperor didn't know good people.

However, the emperor was thinking about how to calm this matter and restore his reputation in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

But after thinking about it, the emperor thought it was not bad. Anyway, it is difficult to pick a queen who suits him at the moment, but he can let a few people drag these people to make a fuss. stand up.

What's more, the ones that were sent up at this time couldn't stand with King Cui. The aristocratic family had the best face, and if they could bear it, they would be ghosts.

Maybe there are suitable candidates here.

The emperor was satisfied after he figured it out, and felt that he had to hurry up, and he must take advantage of this time to select people, because the time and place were right.

As to whether the emperor had any regrets after beating His Highness the Crown Prince, the emperor said, sorry, not at all, who let him ruin my reputation.

The Hall of Qinzheng changed from cloudy to sunny.

The same goes for the safe house.

Today is the New Year's Day, Xia Qing's first New Year's Day in the palace, Xia Qing is still very happy.

She is not writing or reading today, she thinks she should also have winter vacation, she is 15 years old, and she is still in the nine-year compulsory system.

... Xia Qing didn't realize at all why others were younger than her and more mature than her. She was treating herself as a minor.

Thinking of this, Xia Qing began to think again, wondering if it was too early for him to fall in love.

Well, Xia Qing's thoughts were still wandering.

Xu Zhong was also very happy, so he just changed into his clothes. These were the clothes of Director Gong Zhengsi. There was a big exam at the end of the year, so Xu Zhong naturally took part.

The clothes of the supervisor and the commander are the same, they are all blue.

Now Xu Zhong's aura has become more and more powerful, especially after the last cleaning in the palace, everyone has a better understanding of his methods, and now wearing blue is a bit official.

Xu Zhong took the things he had prepared early in the morning and prepared to go to the comfort home.

After Xia Qing went to the comfort house, Xu Zhong hadn't seen her. Today was the New Year's Eve, so Xu Zhong naturally wanted to spend it with her.

But when Xu Zhong just went out, he saw the second junior brother Xu Li.

Seeing Xu Zhong, Xu Li smiled and said, "Brother, are you going to Master's too? Let's go together."

Xu Zhong: ...

Xu Zhong felt a little guilty. He thought of what the master said last time, and Xia Qing in the comfort place. The balance slowly tilted. The master was accompanied by Xu Li, but Xia Qing was alone.

He looked at Xu Li still looking at him, as if waiting for him to leave first, he paused and said, "Junior brother, wait for me a while."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and went in and took out a bundle, then handed it to Xu Li and said, "There are two pairs of shoes inside, one is yours and the other is the master's, please help me bring it to the master, just say I will give it to him tomorrow morning." pay a New Year call."

When Xu Li first heard that he still had his own, he immediately unpacked the bag and took it out to have a look. He was very pleasantly surprised.

"Brother, did you buy it outside?"

Xu Zhong nodded.

After hearing Xu Zhong's words, he was a little puzzled. If the senior brother didn't celebrate the New Year with them, where would he go?
Xu Zhong cleared his throat and walked away with a serious expression.

Seeing his little apprentice coming, Xu Ji raised his eyelids and said, "Sit down."

But Xu Zhong still kowtowed to the master and said: "Congratulations to the master that you are safe every year and everything goes well."

Then he presented his annual gift with his senior brother's annual gift, and then looked at Xu Ji innocently and said, "Master, senior brother just said something, and I will come back tomorrow to give you New Year's greetings."

Xu Ji looked at the pack of socks and a pair of shoes in front of him. He felt that he really wanted to slap someone. At this moment, he suddenly understood the feelings of His Majesty the Emperor. Having a disobedient son would definitely shorten his life for a few years.

Looking at the little apprentice in front of him who didn't feel anything, Xu Ji deeply suppressed the pressure in his heart and started talking to the little apprentice.

In fact, Xu Zhong felt a little guilty for not being able to greet his master today, but he would always be by his side, but he and Xia Qing only had Xia Qing in the palace for the past few years, and he might not see each other in the future.

When Xu Zhong arrived at the safe house, Xia Qing was reading a book because Xia Qing found that he had nothing to do.

The old servant went there a few days ago, because it was coming to the end of the year, and he didn't want to be affected by such bad luck at this time, so there was no news at all.

Xia Qing went to see it, and suddenly felt that he used to be a little ignorant and fearless, and life should be in awe.

Of course, she also saw that when Eunuch Hai passed away, he didn't wait for his former apprentices to take a look. Xia Qing felt more and more cold in his bones, such a palace.

It may be that the blow of his partner's death was too severe, and the old maid couldn't get out of bed anymore. Xia Qing wanted to meet her today, but was rejected.

Therefore, after taking a turn around, Xia Qing gave up her plan to take the winter vacation for herself, she was so bored.

She tried to cut a window grille at first, and it was easy to find, but she couldn't cut it, she could only cut some messy things, and finally put down the scissors in frustration.

After turning around two more times to confirm that she couldn't do anything, she could only read books and practice calligraphy.

When Xu Zhong arrived, he saw that the room was quiet, and he was in a daze for a moment when he saw Xia Qing.

He had seen many looks of Xia Qing, but he had never seen this calm and dignified Xia Qing at this moment, and for a moment he felt that she was no longer a little girl who had just reached her age.

Xia Qing had noticed it when Xu Zhong came, but after waiting for a while to find that he didn't speak, he couldn't help but said:
"Little Eunuch Xu, do you always ask others to speak first?"

Xu Zhong regained his senses and looked at this familiar joking expression, and felt, um, it was her.

He pretended to be deep and said: "Why are you still practicing calligraphy today?" He also entered the room.

Xia Qing thought: As expected of a man who has experienced torture, he caught the essence at a glance.

Xia Qing put down the pen, looked up at the beam pretending to be deep, and said with a straight face: "The road is long and long, and I will search up and down."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Xu Zhong with a sullen face, and Xu Zhong happened to be looking at her. The two looked at each other, and smiled at each other.

Xu Zhong thought how could there be such a clever little girl.

After Xu Zhong laughed, he turned his head in embarrassment, then handed over the things in his hand to Xia Qing and said, "This is an annual gift, congratulations on your new year, I hope it can keep you safe."

Xia Qing thought: Eunuch is still too thin-skinned.

While thinking about it, he happily took what Xu Zhong sent over, and found that it was a box, and immediately asked happily, "Can I open it?"

Xu Zhong was slightly surprised, but still nodded: "Of course, it's yours now."
