(1/2)
I thought about it and smiled reluctantly, "It's rare that this time, the Grand Master and Lord Nangong were so united and both demanded to use troops to Xichuan."
Speaking of this, Pei Yuanhao's face became even darker.
This is of course what he didn't want to see as an emperor. The Grand Tutor often said that Bai was an old minister of the three dynasties, with his disciples all over the court and the country. Nangong Jinhong was the father of his favorite concubine Nangong Lizhu, and he also had great influence in the court and the country. If they combined, it would inevitably have a great impact on the imperial power.
Pei Yuanhao sneered: "Yes, it's rare that they both will work together."
"Then, does His Majesty the Emperor have any solutions?"
"Their memorials should be pressed on the Imperial Study Room first, and then dragged them for a while."
My brows were locked and I said softly: "But delay is not the solution."
Pei Yuanhao frowned even deeper.
I was silent for a while, then looked at his eyes full of haze, and said softly: "Have your Majesty the Emperor ever thought about putting this matter in the previous dynasty and leaving it to the court officials to discuss it?"
Pei Yuanhao shook his head gently: "This doesn't work."
“…”
"You can't guess the result of the court discussion?"
I thought about it and indeed, as always, Bai and Nangong Jinhong both attacked this time, must have had a certain control over the situation before they joined forces to attack the emperor. If this matter was really handed over to the court officials for discussion, as Pei Yuanhao said, the result of the court discussion may be the result we least want to see.
For a moment, both of them became quiet.
Qingyin Pavilion is very transparent, but when it is quiet at this time, it seems particularly quiet. Even the sound of our breathing and heartbeat can be heard clearly. Just as I was sitting there dullly thinking about countermeasures, Eunuch Yu walked in carefully from outside, stood at the door and said, "Master, next time it's time--"
Before he could finish his words, I hurriedly raised my hand and waved it at him.
When Eunuch Yu saw me like this, he looked at Pei Yuanhao sitting there with his eyebrows locked. He also understood and hurriedly retreated with his hands in his arms.
It seems that Pei Yuanhao had made some arrangements today and wanted to celebrate Miaoyan's birthday, but he was disturbed by the matter I suddenly raised.
As for my plan to go to Jixian Palace today, it seems that it is no longer possible to implement.
but--
Jixian Palace?
I was stunned for a moment, as if I had remembered something, and looked up at Pei Yuanhao. He seemed to feel something. He looked up at me and said tentatively: "If your Majesty handed over that matter to the court, you will not expand the scope of the court."
"Expand the scope of court discussion?"
He raised his brow and looked back at me: "You mean-"
"There are actually some people who dare to speak around His Majesty, such as Censor Pang, Secretary Qi Fang, and Minister of the Secretariat, and Master Ma Gaotian and Zhang Gao, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice. These are all young and strong, and they dare to speak out directly. If the court discusses, these people may be of some use."
Pei Yuanhao thought for a while and said, "However, what they said in court may not have any weight."
"It's enough to have weight or not. If the emperor thinks that their words are not worth much, it's better to invite a person with weight to come out and lead them to the court meeting."
His eyes flashed suddenly and he looked at me: "You said yes-"
I said, "Mr. Fu."
He suddenly felt like someone was piercing a hole in the dark clouds above his head, and light shone in his eyes. His whole face became clear one after another. He murmured: "Fu Badai...Fu Badai..."
"Yes, Mr. Fu," I said softly: "He is the Taibao, who was appointed by the emperor. Although he has not been to court for the sake of eye disease over the years, I know that the emperor's several national policies were from him, and he has overall control over the emperor's new policies. If he wants to right now - to discuss this matter with Taishi Chang and Master Nangong, I am afraid that he will only take action."
Pei Yuanhao's face was both happy and worried. After thinking for a while, he slowly said: "I have considered him, but - he is not suitable to work on him in his current situation. Moreover, since -"
Speaking of this, he stopped suddenly.
Of course I understand what he is going to say. Since the ancient books in Jixian Hall were burned and Liu Qinghan had an accident, Fu Badai's ambition seemed to have been gone. Now he is only recording ancient books behind closed doors. If he is asked to go to court again, he will not know what the winner is.
Pei Yuanhao is unwilling to bet on winning or losing.
I thought about it and said, "In the eyes of the folk girl, although Mr. Fu Da is old and old, and is recording books behind closed doors, it may not be useless. After all, if he really uses troops to Xichuan, he is the least willing to see it, so he naturally has to try his best to stop it. Moreover, if the Taibao has participated in the court discussion, the emperor might as well - let the prince go over and take a look."
His eyes were stunned: "Nianshen?"
However, before I could continue talking, a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Forget it, let it go."
My brows couldn't help but frown.
When talking about what happened just now, he seemed to have deserved it, but when he mentioned that he asked Nianshen to go to court, he seemed to be unhappy - no, it shouldn't be unhappy, but he was worried.
What is he scrupulous?
I looked at him subconsciously, but this time, he seemed to have solved a big problem. The cold smile on the corner of his mouth slowly warmed up, and he looked up at me with a smile: "Qingying, you are indeed my Xieyuhua."
When I heard this, my face froze.
However, without waiting for me to react, he quickly stood up, moved his hands and feet, and then said with a smile: "Forget it, we've finished listening to the play, it's time to go back."
“Where to go?”
"Aren't you hungry?"
"ah?"
I was stunned and subconsciously reached out to touch my stomach. But he smiled and picked up Miaoyan next to me and said, "Even if you are not hungry, our daughter should be hungry. What if my Miaoyan is so hungry?"

"Let's go, we should eat something. I have already ordered the imperial kitchen to prepare a table of food in the imperial garden. Let's go and Nuannuan."
He said as he walked out, and I followed behind me, and I couldn't react for a while.
He asked the imperial kitchen to place the food in the imperial garden?
Although it was not heavy snow outside, there was snow everywhere. Putting things in the imperial garden, I was afraid that before I could eat them, I would freeze them into several ice plates, which was still warm? If we didn’t freeze our stomachs, we would be Amitabha.
I muttered all the way, but I could only follow him forward. When I walked to the imperial garden, I didn't see what he asked for to eat, but I smelled a scent first.
A very tempting and fresh fragrance.
He took us to the platform.
It was the same as that day. It was surrounded by thick curtains on all sides, making it a warm pavilion. On the stone table in the center, there was a copper pot, which was boiling a pot of red soup, and slowly covered with fiery red peppers and peppercorns. It turned out to be a pot of hot pot.
My eyes widened in shock.
He smiled and said, "I also know that you have a bad appetite recently. People in the imperial kitchen are not good at making spicy foods, so they specially asked them to go to the Sichuan restaurant in Beijing to find a few chefs and choose a few rounds before leaving this. Today I will let him make a pot of this for you to try the dishes."
I couldn't speak for a moment, and I was stunned when I looked at the boiling pot of red soup.
He smiled and said, "What are you doing when you are stunned? Sit down and eat."
"……oh."
I slowly sat aside, and he placed Miaoyan on the stool beside him, then looked up at me: "You said before, Miaoyan can eat spicy food?"
"Um."
"Can she eat this?"
"It's still OK to eat, but - it's better to give her a bowl of water and rinse it before eating."
"Okay, I think so too."
After saying that, with a wave of his hand, Eunuch Yu presented a large bowl of steaming water from below. Pei Yuanhao picked up a piece of fish from the pot. The fish slices were extremely thin and cooked in the soup. They were as smooth as white jade. Because the chef had fish bones in advance, it was effortless to eat. Miaoyan ate several slices in a row. Although she had no words, I could feel that she liked it from the speed of her eating.
And after I ate a slice, I found it spicy and fresh and delicious.
I remember that after leaving Shu for so many years, except for Miaoyan on the way to Sichuan, I went to eat spicy and sour jelly with Qinghan. I haven’t tasted the local flavor carefully for a long time.
Watching me eat slowly, Pei Yuanhao asked, "How is it? How?"
I nodded: "Not bad."
The smile in his eyes slowly piled up and he said, "Then eat more, it's cold today."
"Um."
Next, the three of them feasted here. Although I didn't say much, because of today's matter, I still answered whatever he asked, and a pot of red soup kept gurgling. After a while, Eunuch Yu brought people in to add soup and tea, which was also very lively.
But I don’t know how many of the ladies in the imperial garden we ate and drank, and how did we see the empresses in the harem outside.
Pei Yuanhao was very excited. After eating, he took me and Miaoyan around. Until it was dark and I couldn't bear it anymore. He said Miaoyan could not bear it anymore, so he sent us back. When he returned to Jingren Palace, lanterns were already hung everywhere, and the shaking red light made the figures of us stagger.
When I was eating before, Miaoyan and I were only concerned about eating the food in the pot. When we got tired of it, we drank tea. However, he was very interested and drank a little wine. After that, while resting in another place for refreshments, we drank some more.
I don't like dealing with drunks, especially the one in front of me.
So, when he walked to the door of the house, he stood behind him and smelled the faint smell of alcohol emitted from his body. The smell made me frown, stretched out my hand and pushed open the door, and the cold wind poured in, which made Susu and Madam Wu in the house come out in shock. When he saw him standing behind me, he immediately bowed down: "Greetings to the Emperor."
"Get up."
He said as he walked in.
My brows frowned even tighter.
I am not wrong to drive him out of the way, but I really want to speak up, but I am afraid that if I anger a drunk, things will be difficult to deal with.
I thought about it and ordered Su Su: "Go and pour a cup of ginger tea for His Majesty the Emperor. Remember to be stronger and relieve your wine."
He looked up at me.
I didn't say anything, and led Miaoyan to wash my hands. Su Su's tea had already been served to him. He also picked it up and took a sip. I walked to the door. Eunuch Yu and the others were still serving outside. I said softly: "Brother-in-law, His Majesty the Emperor, he--"
Eunuch Yu looked at me and couldn't help but shake her head gently.
