Anecdotes of Tianyuan: The Long Night is Young

Chapter 175

Qiushui Mountain Villa is not as magnificent or as big as the imperial palace, but it is very fun to have mountains and water.Zhao Xiyan took his wife and children to play in Qiushui Villa. They took the children to climb mountains, flutter butterflies, catch fish, play in water, plant flowers and trees all day long.A man and a group of children rolled up their sleeves and trousers, lifted up their robes, and played with mud all over their bodies.The six women followed behind, dumbfounded, and hurriedly cleaned them up after chasing after them.Such outrageous things are not allowed in the palace, so Zhao Xiyan played wildly with the children when he left the palace.The children were covered in mud, but they laughed happily.It seems that Zhao Xiyan just came to Qiushui Villa for crazy fun, and didn't care about other things in Qiushui Villa at all.One day Zhao Xiyan took the children to fish by the stream, wearing a bamboo hat like an old fisherman, the girls laughed when they saw it.Zhao Xiyan took the children to fish by the stream, and these women hid in the bamboo forest beside them to enjoy the cool.

"Father, why haven't you caught a single fish after fishing for half a day? Ruier wants to eat squirrel mandarin fish tonight."

"Rui'er, can't you find out about fishing in a hurry? If the fish hear you talking, they won't come, so you can't talk while fishing."

"Shh~"

Qi Rui made a shush gesture, which was very cute, and Zhao Xiyan patted his head.It was quiet for a long time, and the children couldn't stand the boredom anymore, so they dropped their fishing rods and ran back to find their mother.Zhao Xiyan was the only one left by the creek who was still persisting, and Xiangyun was waiting resignedly in front of him. The four girls were all joking to see how long Zhao Xiyan could persist, and they even brought their children to boo.

"Father! Stop fishing, if you can't catch it, Empress Xia has sweet-scented osmanthus cake here!"

Zhao Qichen called Zhao Xiyan at the top of his voice, but Zhao Xiyan was not convinced and had to catch him.

"Go and drink your honey water, Father will wait."

Xia Shuning handed Qichen a glass of honey water, smiled but did not answer Zhao Xiyan's stubbornness.Several women played with their children for a while, and it took a long time for Zhao Xiyan to hear any movement.Seeing the fish floating, Zhao Xiyan thought that some fish had taken the bait, and the fish would be unhooked as soon as he reeled in the pole, and he jumped up angrily.Seeing Zhao Xiyan's distraught look, Yan Fengjun almost died of laughter.Hearing their laughter, Zhao Xiyan couldn't hold back at all.

"Bring a fishing net, I won't believe it!"

Xiangyun hastily brought the fishing net, Zhao Xiyan rolled up his sleeves to fix his trousers, pinned his robe around his waist, and got into the water to cast the net.Zhao Xiyan had never learned how to cast a net at all, and he didn't even open it. Xiangyun couldn't stand it anymore, so he hurriedly taught Zhao Xiyan how to cast a net secretly.After Zhao Xiyan learned it, he looked at the place where there was a lot of bubbling and cast a net.After the net sank for a while, Zhao Xiyan closed it, but unfortunately nothing was caught, and he was even more frustrated.After going back and forth several times, under Xiangyun's guidance, Zhao Xiyan managed to catch a dozen fish, three of which were bigger, and the rest were small fish.As soon as the fish landed, the children almost went crazy, and they ran to follow Zhao Xiyan to catch the fish.It was a good time to catch fish, but it turned into a water fight.Zhao Xiyan hugged Zhao Muning and protected her, but the other children were drowned by him, but everyone was laughing.The five mothers kept shouting on the shore not to get wet and catch a cold, but only Wu Qingyao watched with a smile and said nothing.It's a pity that an old child and a group of children are playing off and can't hear at all.

Xia Shuning really couldn't stand it anymore, what if the children caught a cold and had a fever?Xia Shuning yelled at Zhao Xiyan in a moment of anxiety.

"Zhao Xiyan! Come up to me!"

Xia Shuning had never lost her composure like this before, but as a mother and a doctor, she couldn't bear Zhao Xiyan's water fight with her children, and she got soaked all over.When Xia Shuning said this, the audience was stunned and fell silent.Yan Fengjun couldn't imagine being beaten to death. Xia Shuning, who was always gentle and obedient to Zhao Xiyan, could be so domineering.Who would dare to call Zhao Xiyan by his first name?After Xia Shuning yelled, she felt a little regretful. No matter what, she couldn't be so cruel to him. After all, he was the king of a country, and he had so many children in front of all his women.He was afraid that if he couldn't get down, he would blame her.The last time Xia Shuning called Zhao Xiyan by his full name was ten years ago at the wedding night, when Zhao Xiyan was too tired and lay down on her bed without changing his clothes.Zhao Xiyan was a little frightened, met Zhao Muning's eyes, and led a group of children back to the shore.As soon as the children landed, the mothers rushed to wipe their faces with dry towels.Zhao Xiyan put Zhao Muning down, Xia Shuning took a dry towel and only wiped Zhao Muning, leaving Zhao Xiyan in an awkward position and ignoring him.Wu Qingyao took a dry towel and walked over to Zhao Xiyan, about to wipe it for him, but Zhao Xiyan coldly avoided it.Xiangyun hurriedly took a dry towel and wiped Zhao Xiyan's face. Wu Qingyao stood there with lowered eyebrows and depressed eyes.

A group of people went back and hurriedly took a hot bath, Xia Shuning boiled a big pot of ginger soup and sent them to the children's rooms one by one.Zhao Xiyan was taking a bath in the room, and Xia Shuning finally brought a bowl of ginger soup to Zhao Xiyan's place. The ginger soup was placed on the table, and when there was no sound of water in the room, she wondered if Zhao Xiyan fell asleep after taking a bath again.Xia Shuning was worried that he would catch a cold, so she quietly opened the door and walked in.The moment the door was pushed open, Zhao Xiyan smelled the familiar aroma, and knew who was coming, and the corners of his mouth curled up.Zhao Xiyan pretended not to know that she had come in, and pretended to close his eyes to rest.Seeing that he seemed to have really fallen asleep, Xia Shuning was worried that the water would become cold after he soaked for a long time.So she walked over to wake him up, but when she got closer, she seemed to be in a deep sleep. Xia Shuning stretched out her hand to test the water temperature, and found that the water temperature was just right, so she didn't bother him.Xia Shuning was full of guilt, she really shouldn't have yelled at him like this, since she didn't want to see him after yelling, he must be sad.Xia Shuning couldn't hold back, hugged Zhao Xiyan from behind, and whispered while he was asleep.

"Sir, I'm sorry."

"It's all right, ma'am."

Zhao Xiyan suddenly opened his eyes, and secretly kissed Xia Shuning on the cheek.Xia Shuning was frightened, but Zhao Xiyan held her hands tightly, and she couldn't break free at all.

"You lied to me! You pretended to be asleep!"

"If you don't pretend to be asleep, why are you here?"

"You're messing around!"

"Is it okay not to be angry? I won't play with them like this next time."

"Children are no better than adults. Catching a cold and having a fever is a big deal."

"I understand, it's all my fault."

"I'm not good either. I'm yelling at you. Don't be angry, my husband. I'm just in a hurry."

"How could I not know? How could I blame you?"

"really?"

"That's why I deliberately snubbed you just now, don't you blame me?"

"Didn't you bring me ginger soup? It's a redemption."

"It's a good husband."

Zhao Xiyan turned around and rubbed the tip of his nose against Xia Shuning's, and kissed her red lips again.

"Don't do this next time. I'm an emperor anyway. How about saving some face for me outside? Otherwise, after a while, they will all learn, and I will be yelled at wherever I go. Isn't it very useless? "

"Okay, I won't yell at you again."

Zhao Xiyan played tricks and dragged Xia Shuning and her clothes into the bathtub.Xia Shuning fell into the bathtub and was drenched all over. After wiping the water off her face, she quickly clenched her fist and punched Zhao Xiyan.

"You pervert!"

"One size is one size, I don't blame you, you have to compensate me, don't you?"

Xia Shuning wanted to run out of the tub, but Zhao Xiyan hugged her tightly and sealed her lips with a kiss. In the end, she was so kissed that she couldn't get out of the tub, so she resigned to her fate and took off her clothes to take a bath with him.After taking a bath, Zhao Xiyan secretly took the medicine and started playing tricks. First, he hugged her and tossed her in the room, and even put fresh hickeys on Xia Shuning's collar on purpose.When having dinner in the evening, everyone saw it, and several women cast strange glances.In her heart, Ulan Rongruo felt that she had underestimated Xia Shuning, and that this trick of playing hard to get was too perfect.First he deliberately yelled at Zhao Xiyan, and then ran to tease Zhao Xiyan under the pretext of apologizing, it was really clever.Looking at Xia Shuning's embarrassed expression, Zhao Xiyan was indescribably happy.These days are boring, and I have to find some fun by myself.

Tonight's dinner is Zhao Xiyan's fish from the afternoon net. Zhao Xiyan is picking up the fishbone and feeding the fish to Zhao Muning. He doesn't care about the war between these women, even if he is the culprit.Tonight's dinner broke up a bit, Zhao Xiyan's feet were stepped on countless times tonight, and he didn't even need his boots.Zhao Xiyan was glad that he was wearing ordinary black boots, not other expensive boots, otherwise he would have just thrown them away, and he would feel sorry for the money again.Wu Qingyao didn't take a bite, just poked at the bowl of rice, and quickly left the table.Zhao Xiyan didn't bother with her, but ordered the kitchen to send some light food later, but Qiu Ruyu was extremely sensitive to Wu Qingyao's sadness.

After dinner, Han Qiuyi came to Zhao Xiyan's room to talk with him.Zhao Xiyan proposed that after returning to Beijing, Zhao Xiyan's bones should be brought back to the capital and buried in the Tomb of King Daqi.At first Han Qiuyi didn't want to bother about his late son's innocence, but thinking about Zhao Xiyan's burial in Qiushui Mountain Villa, it would be very inconvenient.After all, Qichen is not under his name and cannot come to worship every year, and Linghan will marry when he grows up, so he cannot come to worship often.If he moved back to the capital, Qichen would join the lineage of Prince Sixian in the future, and he would be able to personally worship his biological father every year.Han Qiuyi agreed to Zhao Xiyan's proposal, but quickly said something that Zhao Xiyan didn't like to hear.

"Is the emperor really not considering accepting Concubine Xian?"

"Han Niangniang always talks nonsense like this, you can't understand what's going on with Concubine Xian."

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking bluntly. Your Majesty is a bit pedantic."

"What does this have to do with being pedantic? I don't understand."

"Ruyu has been delayed by Shisan all her life, and finally she doesn't like Shisan, so why don't you just treat her as a whole?"

"Husband dies, son. In a few years, Qichen will be able to open a mansion. At that time, I will order Qichen to take her to the palace to take care of her."

"If you let her go to the palace to follow Qi Chen, she will stay by your side even if she dies. Besides, she is your concubine, your virtuous concubine, not a virtuous concubine. Has the emperor forgotten? She is still like this Young, widowed for ten years, for a woman, the best time is spent as a widow, how sad. The emperor is a man, I'm afraid he can't understand."

"Miss Han, I understand."

"Since the emperor understands, she should be accepted. Mrs. Han knows that this is embarrassing you, but Qichen is already in your name, and she calls the emperor father. But the emperor never spends the night in his mother's room. When the child thinks about it in the future, it will be hard not to doubt her own background, isn't it? What's more, Ruyu's heart is only for the emperor, and she has a deep love for the emperor. She is indeed inferior to other concubines regardless of her beauty or family background, but she knows how to be warm and cold, and she is considerate, isn't she? "

Zhao Xiyan was speechless and didn't know how to reply.

"It's the right way for a king to be in the rain and dew. Whether he likes it or not, he must occasionally play tricks on the occasion, right? When the late emperor was alive, he didn't like many concubines, or even hated them. But sometimes, he also needs to appease them occasionally."

"Father, he..."

"Han Niangniang knows that it's hard for the emperor, but Han Niangniang is really uneasy. A good girl, her life is so barren. I can understand such suffering, so...the emperor don't blame me."

"Your Majesty, if I do this, how will I meet Shisan when I go down in the future?"

"Don't think too much, Your Majesty. Thirteen is like your father. How could he be a long-term lover? If he is still alive now, I'm afraid I don't even remember who Ruyu is."

"Have you ever loved your father?"

Han Qiuyi didn't know that Zhao Xiyan would ask this, and was stunned, not knowing what to say.

"perhaps."

Han Qiuyi left, but Zhao Xiyan smiled, thinking of his father sitting in the Taiji Hall.Zhao Xiyan touched the wrench and muttered, "The most pitiful thing is that it should be the father."

The author has something to say:

The purpose of Han Niangniang's efforts to match Ruyu and Xiao Zhao is not pure

Who would push the daughter-in-law to the elder brother?

How did Xiao Zhao's father hang up?

Xiao Zhao doesn't know now

After all, when the first emperor died

Only Han Qiuyi is present
