Chapter 34 Greenhouse Palace

Greenhouse Hall of Weiyang Palace.

If Xiao Ziyi was present, he would be amazed at the advanced design of the fireplace in the greenhouse hall, which is heated by charcoal.The walls of the greenhouse hall are made of pepper clay, the pillars are made of osmanthus wood, the floor is covered with exquisite multicolored carpets, and a colorful mica screen divides the greenhouse hall into two entrances, inside and outside.All kinds of precious decorations decorate the hall beautifully.

The Greenhouse Hall and the Qingliang Hall are warm in winter and cool in summer, and are the favorite places for emperors to live in each dynasty.The emperor of this dynasty is no exception.Although it is the beginning of spring now, but the spring is cold, and the fire in the fireplace in the hall is burning vigorously.

"Your majesty, I heard that Ziyi is looking for a good son-in-law recently, is it true?" The queen came here today to talk about this matter. She sat next to the emperor and picked up a fruit knife to cut it for him. The apples are then divided into smaller pieces.

The emperor's hand, which was reviewing the memorial, stopped, and the pen that had been written at the end was crooked, leaving an ugly mark on the memorial.

"Jingyang, what's the matter? Didn't you say that you have persuaded Ziyi?" The emperor simply dropped the pen, pressed his aching temple, and asked Xiao Jingyang who was studying the memorial.

Xiao Jingyang sat up straight and sighed: "Father, I thought I convinced her. Who knows that she is still not used to this place."

"Not used to it? Get used to it if you are not used to it!" The emperor's anger suddenly rose.Maybe it was because of the severe drought across the country this spring, or maybe it was because of the strange intentions of the aliens outside the Great Wall. Anyway, since the Begonia Banquet, his mood has been like a firecracker that can explode at any time. Recently, the court has been silent. Time to make the emperor angry.

"Your Majesty, Ziyi grew up in the wilderness. It's normal for her to be unaccustomed to the well-regulated life in the palace. What's more, she has suffered so many grievances! I heard that she is afraid of receiving things she shouldn't accept, so she will treat others All the gifts I gave were returned, and it is still like this!" The queen said softly, persuading her.

The emperor frowned, and said angrily: "Is the palace still inferior to the outside? What's wrong? What else is she dissatisfied with?"

Xiao Jingyang was not afraid of the wrath of today's son at all, but said with a smile: "Father, if the palace is good, the fifth younger brother won't be clamoring to go out to play every time he only stays for a month. Isn't it enough?"

"Hmph!" Throwing the memorial, the emperor scolded unhappily: "That unfilial son, why do you still mention him?"

"Hehe, Erchen didn't mention him on purpose, it's just that the fifth brother asked someone to bring a message back yesterday, saying that he has returned to the pass from Turkic, and he will probably come back soon!" Xiao Jingyang said happily.

The queen silently praised her son in her heart, and reported her brother's whereabouts without any trace.Otherwise, at other times, in front of the emperor, no matter who mentioned Xiao Xu's name, he would be furious.

The expression on the emperor's face softened a lot.He stood up and walked to the burning charcoal in front of the fireplace, thought for a while with his hands behind his back, and finally asked, "Ziyi...what's going on with her? Is there something missing? Or is there not enough servants?"

The queen rushed in front of Xiao Jingyang and said: "Your Majesty, Zi Yi is probably not used to being too lonely in the palace. The concubine heard that she grew up in some kind of Tianshan sect before, and all of a sudden she guarded such a large family all by herself. The Changle Palace, even the concubine would not be able to withstand the sadness. Besides, she is only 14 years old."

What the queen said was so reasonable that even the emperor couldn't help nodding his head and said, "Then can the queen have a good idea?"

Xiao Jingyang had a bad feeling in his heart, but unfortunately he couldn't even get in a half sentence.

The queen smiled slightly, the corners of her lips covered with red rouge gracefully curved, and said slowly: "Isn't Ziyi likes children to accompany her? But both Xiao Zhan and Nangong Xiao are boys, although they are young, but Still not good."

The emperor turned his head in interest, raised his eyebrows and asked, "What does the empress mean?"

The queen smiled even sweeter, her charming and beautiful eyes sparkled again and again, and said slowly: "Thinking about it this way, if it's not convenient for a boy, then we can find a girl for Ziyi to accompany her, anyway? Changle Palace is so big, a few more people are not too many."

Xiao Jingyang knew that the queen's main intention was to completely cut off the relationship between Xiao Ziyi and Xiao Zhan, but even if he knew, he couldn't interrupt her mother because of her excitement, he could only sigh silently.

The emperor walked back to the soft couch, his expression had returned to normal, he picked up the apples that the queen had peeled and ate them.While eating, he said: "Then, whose daughter is recruited into the palace? Logically speaking, no one should be willing, right?" The emperor had a helpless look on his face, and the selection of this person was also a difficult matter.Who is willing to send their own children into the palace?

The queen smiled and said: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten who Zi Yi spoke for at the Begonia Banquet? I heard that Li Yunqing has a younger sister who is only six and a half years old. The two brothers and sisters live with relatives, even if the elder brother can be careful Taking care of my younger sister, it is not convenient for a grown man to take care of such a small child, so why don't the emperor call Li Yunqing's younger sister into the palace to accompany Ziyi."

The emperor frowned slightly, and said hesitantly, "But that's the Li family..."

Xiao Jingyang couldn't help but said: "Father, what happened to the Li family? Li Yunqing is a pillar of talent, and shouldn't be wasted in the Ministry of Rites doing trivial things!"

The emperor turned around like a whirlwind when he heard the words, his tiger eyes sparkled and he said angrily: "Xiao Jingyang, don't think that I don't know what you guys did at the Begonia Banquet. I admit that Li Yunqing is a pillar of talent! Is there a lack of pillars? If it wasn't because of your play that Ziyi started to speak, I will definitely investigate to the end!"

Xiao Jingyang was taken aback, and knelt down in front of the emperor with a plop.
