Notes of Lanxi Crossing

Chapter 34
To put the words far away, after learning about Lanxi's troubles, Song Qinnian told her that reading the scriptures is not as interesting as reading the mansion newspaper.

Lan Xi then asked what the mansion newspaper is, is it a newspaper?

The two then explained to each other the parts they understood in detail, and carefully compared the differences and advantages and disadvantages of the two.

Song Qinnian finally came to the conclusion that this news indeed has many functions and is quite intentional. As long as the paper and transportation problems are solved, it will be much more useful than the mansion newspaper.

Having been inspired, he immediately wrote down the matter, and after several days of revisions, he finally came up with a relatively feasible plan as a gift for the emperor's birthday.

The emperor has read the specific content from the memorial and knows that what Song Qinnian said is true.

He is an emperor who does practical things, so he naturally likes ministers who do practical things. Compared with those gaudy birthday gifts, this is the gift he really needs, and the dragon's heart is very happy.

"Okay, Aiqing, since you came up with this idea, then you are in charge. I am waiting for your good news!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty. With your support, His Majesty's decree is well-informed, and the day when it will be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people is just around the corner."

The emperor laughed and accepted Song Qinnian's wish.

The emperor's attitude was the weathervane for the courtiers. For a while, there were constant compliments on the court, and Song Qinnian bowed his hands humbly.

Lan Xi didn't know what his father was doing, all he knew was that the emperor looked very happy and the ministers around him were all smiling.

It seems that her father did a good job this time, and the immediate boss is quite satisfied with him!
Lanxi and You Rongyan.

Everyone was attracted by Song Qinnian, and stopped paying too much attention to the prince. This made Zhan Xi, who had been scrutinized like acupuncture, relieved, and his tense body was able to breathe temporarily.

He looked up at Song Qinnian, who was at the center of the topic ahead of him. This person was about the same age as his father, with a refined and easy-going demeanor.

In fact, Zhanxi had seen this person long ago. In the past two years, Song Qinnian had been favored by his father, and he often went in and out of the imperial study to accompany him. As the prince of the East Palace, he occasionally met him on the road.

Song Qin was thoughtful in his etiquette, never underestimated him as a young prince because of his father's reliance, and never deliberately flattered him because of his status.

Today, what did he do to make his father so happy?

It seems that this is indeed a useful subject, no wonder the father values ​​it.

Maybe it was because he couldn't understand the emperor being too complacent, and when the court was full of joy, King Su suddenly spoke.

"Your Majesty, you seem to have forgotten the birthday gift I prepared!"

Su Wang's voice suddenly appeared, and Nan Jin, who was holding Zhan Heng's hand and whispering to him, was suddenly startled, and wanted to retract his fingers uncomfortably.

Zhan Heng shook her little hand that was about to run away uncompromisingly, and patted it lightly to comfort her.

"Since it's rare for you to prepare it, let's offer it."

Zhan Heng didn't expect anything good from him at all, if he didn't take Nan Jin's mood into consideration, he even wanted to throw him out.

Seeming to know what he was thinking, Su Wang sneered at him, his eyes inadvertently brushed against the woman standing beside him.

King Su's heart ached, she looked like a chaste and strong woman in front of him, but she was able to kiss me and Zhan Heng in public, but she no longer liked him.

"The minister is no bigger than the emperor's family, and the precious thing is just a word of love."

Speaking of this, Su Wang paused, and Nan Jin's breathing was slightly stagnant, for fear that he would say something regardless.

Fortunately, King Su also knew that he was flimsy now, even if he told the whole story of today for a moment of enjoyment, he would not escape death, and would not do such stupid things.

He took out a small mirror from his chest, looked at it blankly for a while, and then threw it to the palace servants who came to pick it up.

The emperor took this small mirror from the hand of the palace man, but he didn't dare to take it for a while.

Zhan Heng couldn't tell what it was that was tugging at him.

Whether it's guilt or regret, it's far from an overnight achievement for the two brothers to get to where they are today, and it's not something that can be saved by this little breastplate.

King Su sent it back. This is his determination to cut off his grievances. Has he declared war with him... Well, in this way, he doesn't have to worry about anything anymore!

Zhan Heng took the small mirror and put it in his arms.

He is fighting!
At the banquet, after the birthday gift was presented, the emperor and his ministers had fun together in the hall, and then the emperor and his concubine left the banquet first. The prince was filial and sent the queen to Fengyi hall in person.

The crown prince and the queen mother have resigned, and the emperor and queen have already left the banquet. It is really inappropriate to let the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty wait above the banquet. As the crown prince, he should go to support the scene at this time.

Knowing the prince's thoughts, the queen nodded in relief.

"It should be like this. No matter how your father treats you, you can't give up on yourself. Talk to the ministers more. It's useful. Remember to win them over."

This……

Zhanxi just wanted to maintain the dignity of the royal family, and didn't want to take advantage of this opportunity to do anything for himself. The queen's words made him realize that this is indeed a good opportunity.

Seeing her son contemplating, the queen thought about it and opened her heart to him.

"Xi'er, sometimes etiquette is the most useless thing, you don't have to be bound by them, just like your father, on the night of his birthday, he should come to this Palace, but look, where did he go?"

"..." Zhan Xi couldn't answer, the answer was undoubtedly, but this answer inevitably hurt his mother's face.

There was bitterness in the Queen's eyes, but she was used to being left out for many years.

"Xi'er, listen to your mother's words, no matter what your father asks you to do, you can't listen to everything. With your own power, you can't make mistakes at any time."

Zhanxi closed his eyes in pain, how could he not know.

If he can control his own power like King Su, instead of only having a flimsy title of prince, then tonight, maybe the father will not expose his face so easily.

Even if he was at odds with his father, others would not dare to despise him as they do today.

"Empress, I know what to do. It's because I made you worry."

The queen reached out and patted him in her arms, just like the way he was hugged and coaxed by her when he was young.

"If you can figure it out, the queen mother will be relieved. Your father's heart has long been sidelined. From now on, you can only help yourself."

After returning to the banquet from Fengyi Hall, Zhan Xi secretly made a decision in his heart. He held up the wine glass and walked towards the few ministers who were relatively close to him on weekdays.

The cultivation of Jing Yanchao's successor is not a lie. The prince's literary grace is extraordinary. Although he is still immature in some aspects, it does not affect his chatting and laughing with everyone.

The prince, who was still dejected just now, seemed to change his face after a while. The third prince, Zhan Hui, disdainful and seemed to be talking to himself unintentionally.

"So what if you continue to work hard, the emperor hates making friends with cronies the most. I'm afraid that not only will you do useless work, but you will be hated by the emperor even more."

　This kind of big scene is really difficult to write, I can only choose to avoid it...
