Anecdotes of Tianyuan: The Long Night is Young

Chapter 116 Fire in the Backyard

Zhao Xiyan is really busy every day, and the daily memorials can bury him.Zhao Xiyan felt bitter, but there was nothing he could do. He could only sit in the study every day to review.To this day, Zhao Xiyan received a letter from Ulan Kacha stating that next year he would bring a mission to visit Daqi on his birthday.Zhao Xiyan was a little sentimental, and Ulanya had been gone for so long in a blink of an eye.If she was still alive, she would have to make a fuss about making her a queen.Zhao Xiyan was very hurt, and walked to the Imperial Academy in the palace to see the two princes.Zhao Xiyan was afraid of disturbing their study, so he just peeked outside the door and didn't go in.Zhao Xiyan looked at Qi Rui's ever-growing face, as if Ulanya was alive.Zhao Xiyan didn't know if the child in Ning'er's stomach was a boy or a girl. If it was a boy, the three troublemakers in the family would have to bear it.Zhao Xiyan smiled lightly, thinking that there were still memorials that had not been reviewed, so he went back.

On the way, I happened to pass by the side hall where Yan Fengjun was under house arrest, and Zhao Xiyan thought he should also see her.Zhao Xiyan entered the room and saw Yan Fengjun painting.Yan Fengjun was used to the maids walking around in the room, so Zhao Xiyan didn't let anyone tell her, and went straight to Yan Fengjun to see what she was drawing.Zhao Xiyan walked behind Yan Fengjun, and saw a handsome man on the drawing paper, wearing a blue shirt.Zhao Xiyan smiled, who is the person in the painting if not himself?Zhao Xiyan sighed very much, why did Yan Fengjun still like herself when she knew she was a daughter?What a smart person he is, how could he not see it, he just pretended not to know.His heart was so full of Xia Shuning that he couldn't fit anyone else.But she had committed such a serious crime, why did he think of saving her back instead of killing her with a sword.Zhao Xiyan himself was confused, maybe the moonlight that night was so beautiful, and her dance was so intoxicating that he was so beautiful that he didn't want to kill her.

"Come on, I'm thirsty." Yan Fengjun painted by himself, and ordered the maid to bring her water.Zhao Xiyan took the water from the handmaid and handed it to Yan Fengjun.Yan Fengjun didn't even look at him, just went straight to the water and drank it.While Yan Fengjun was drinking water, Zhao Xiyan picked up the unfinished painting.Yan Fengjun was about to scold the servant girl for being unruly, for daring to touch her paintings casually.Turning around, it turned out to be Zhao Xiyan.Could it be that her painting skills are superb, and the person in the painting ran out?Zhao Xiyan looked at the painting carefully and nodded.

"I thought Ms. Yan was just good at martial arts and good at dancing, but I didn't expect Dan Qing's works to be so good."

"My lord..."

"Miss Yan is wrong, I am the emperor now, you should call me Your Majesty or Your Majesty."

"How did you come?"

"Can't I come?"

"This world belongs to His Majesty, so you can come naturally."

"Has the injury healed?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. The girl's injuries are all healed."

"That's fine."

"Your Majesty, how long do you intend to put the civilian girl under house arrest?"

"where do you want to go?"

"The world is so big, nowhere is the home."

"Why did you draw my portrait?"

"Essay."

"Is there anything you want to say to me?"

"Your Majesty, please let the women go free."

"You should know that you have done so many things, it is impossible for me to let you go free."

"Feng Jun promised His Majesty that he would not speak out, so naturally he would not. Why bother Your Majesty, aren't you afraid that you have left a disaster in the palace?"

"This is what you taught me. I would rather kill ten thousand by mistake than let one go."

"Your Majesty really is better than blue than blue."

Zhao Xiyan stopped talking to her, turned around and left.He didn't know how to arrange Yan Fengjun, she not only knew everything, but also knew his daughter.He still didn't trust Yan Fengjun, who told her to set up such a big scam and let him jump into it.He can't make fun of Jiangshan Sheji, he wants to let Yan Fengjun be free, but he pays more attention to Jiangshan Sheji.Zhao Xiyan went back to the upper study room, and ordered Yan Fengjun to be specially appointed as a female internal affairs officer, asking her to serve him personally.It's not that Zhao Xiyan is really short of slaves, he just wants her to feel better and be free, but she can't get out of his nose.Yan Fengjun didn't make a fuss, received the order and went to Feishuang Palace.Zhao Xiyan has his own considerations for making such a decree, but others may not understand it, and what they see is not like this.Zhao Xiyan was afraid that Xia Shuning would be jealous, so he ran to Weiyang Palace to report before the order was issued.Xia Shuning also felt that he was doing the right thing. In the current situation, he could only keep it under his nose.

When this matter got to the ears of Su Qingshu, Qiu Ruyu, and Wu Qingyao, it was not the same thing.They all felt that Yan Fengjun sneaked into Zhao Xiyan's side with great scheming because of his beauty and past achievements.This woman is really a good means, if the emperor wants to face her every day, it is inevitable that he will not fall in love for a long time.She is not afraid of falling in love at first sight, but is most afraid of falling in love over time. Xia Shuning is the best example.If you get into his heart and don't hurt him, he will always treat you like pearls and treasures.The women couldn't sit still anymore, they were all trying to figure out how to get Yan Fengjun away from Zhao Xiyan.

Zhao Xiyan didn't notice these women's thoughts at all, but he also wanted to know these women's thoughts, so as not to cause so many misunderstandings.But he has been busy with government affairs, thanks to the advice of the Queen Mother and Prime Minister Su, otherwise he would really have to be led by the nose.Zhao Xiyan allowed Yan Fengjun to wear her own clothes instead of palace attire. Yan Fengjun's food and drink expenses were provided according to his concubine status, and he also gave her the side hall of Feishuang Palace.Yan Fengjun just waited quietly under Zhao Xiyan's nose, making tea for him, grinding ink for him, and serving vegetables for him.She had never done these things before, and she learned them from the Grand Palace Maid and Xiangyun.When she first learned to serve Zhao Xiyan, she was used to big winds and waves, but she couldn't do small things well.Once when Zhao Xiyan was writing a memorial all night, she was in charge of bringing hot water for him to wash.But the temperature of the water was not tested properly, and Zhao Xiyan's hands were scalded red.Zhao Xiyan didn't blame her, didn't even say a word, just called the imperial doctor and prescribed some burn medicine.Zhao Xiyan knew that Yan Fengjun had been the leader of a sect for so many years, and it was easy for her to kill people and play tricks, and it was embarrassing to ask her to serve others.But Zhao Xiyan wanted to sharpen her spirit, she was too unruly and unruly.

Zhao Xiyan's enthronement is very short, and there are always various big and small things every day. If he wants to grasp it as soon as possible, he has to deal with it himself.Zhao Xiyan's daily life is step-by-step. He washes up in the morning and goes to the Xianfu Palace to pay his respects. Sometimes he has to go to the court before he has breakfast. After the court, he will review the memorials. He sits for a whole day and occasionally calls some ministers to discuss some matters. .On this day, Zhao Xiyan stayed up all night last night again, was going to the study room to review the memorials, and accidentally fell asleep on the desk, with the ink pen still in his hand.Xiangyun had just been sent to Weiyang Palace to deliver things. Xia Shuning was always tired from the hard work of her pregnancy, and even more so from embarrassment. No matter how busy Zhao Xiyan was, she would never forget her.In the huge Feishuang Palace, Yan Fengjun, the female internal affairs officer, can be in charge.Yan Fengjun stood aside and looked at him with a tired face, feeling a little bitter in his heart.She was determined not to admit that she actually felt sorry for the person in front of her.Yan Fengjun stepped forward by a ghost, gently took out the ink pen in Zhao Xiyan's hand, took off the cloak hanging on the side, and gently covered him.Yan Fengjun hadn't been so close to Zhao Xiyan for a long time, the person in front of him was really handsome, he could even be described as beautiful.Yan Fengjun couldn't imagine what Zhao Xiyan would look like in women's clothing, but this men's clothing had cheated many women, including hers.

Yan Fengjun forgot that there were other people in the hall, she only saw Zhao Xiyan sleeping peacefully, and forgot that her current posture was a bit ambiguous.For the sake of the heirs, the imperial palace will not repeat the mistakes of the previous dynasty's withered heirs. Since the establishment of the Daqi dynasty, the emperor has to go to the queen's palace to spend the night on the [-]th of every month.This rule made Su Qingshu very happy, because no matter what, Zhao Xiyan would get close to her at least once a month, and she would have a chance to win him back.However, it has been almost half a year since Zhao Xiyan ascended the throne, and every time he refused because of his busy government affairs.The respect room did not dare to use the rules to invite the emperor, who said that the emperor only favors the imperial concubine, and the empress is just a decoration.Today is the [-]th day, Su Qingshu thought he always asked someone to invite him, but he couldn't.It was said that the meeting was very affectionate, so Su Qingshu decided to go to Feishuang Palace to look for him in person, and the queen would naturally be notified when he arrived at Feishuang Palace.However, Zhao Xiyan fell asleep, and Yan Fengjun just looked at him, but he didn't hear such a loud announcement.As soon as Su Qingshu entered the door, he saw a stunning beauty like Yan Fengjun having an ambiguous posture with Zhao Xiyan, and he was even more jealous in his heart.She almost forgot that she was already the queen of a country, and almost lost her manners.Su Qingshu stared at them intently, Yan Fengjun realized that someone was coming, and when he turned his head, he saw Su Qingshu's ugly face.Yan Fengjun has no feelings for Su Qingshu, but now that she is under someone else's roof, she is not allowed to be presumptuous even if she is a queen.

Yan Fengjun stepped aside from Zhao Xiyan's side, she was still full of pride, even the emperor allowed her not to have to make a grand ceremony, so she just nodded and said hello to Su Qingshu.Seeing that she was as cold and aloof as when she was in the palace, Su Qingshu was even a little annoyed, thinking that she didn't understand the rules.

"Miss Yan is afraid that her time in the palace is very short, haven't she learned the rules of the palace?"

Yan Fengjun's complexion was also ugly, the emperor hadn't cultivated Tianwei yet, but she was an airy queen with a very dignified appearance.

"This palace is talking to you, why don't you answer? Don't you think that serving the emperor can ignore anyone?"

Zhao Xiyan was sleeping soundly at first, but Su Qingshu's disturbance woke him up.Zhao Xiyan woke up, closed his eyes and rubbed his temples, feeling a headache all the time since he didn't get enough sleep.Seeing that he was awake, Su Qingshu hurried to Zhao Xiyan's side and asked someone to pour tea for him.People who don't get enough sleep are most afraid of noise, but Su Qingshu doesn't understand, so he whispers his concern in Zhao Xiyan's ear.Yan Fengjun didn't say anything and didn't look at her. He took the tea from the hand of the maid, put some sweet-scented osmanthus from the tea tweezers into the tea, and brought it to the desk.

"Why did the Queen come to Feishuang Palace today? If you have nothing to do, go back quickly, I still have a lot of memorials to approve."

"Your Majesty, Qingshu has studied cooking skills recently and made some desserts that you like. I brought them here specially, Your Majesty, do you want to have a taste?"

"There is an imperial cook in the palace, so the empress doesn't have to do it herself. I will have someone bring it in later, and I will eat it. You are not in good health, so you should go back to the palace to take care of it."

"emperor……"

Zhao Xiyan sighed deeply in his heart, how should he treat the queen?As soon as he saw her, all those embarrassments came to his mind again, but he couldn't bear to hurt her either.He is very bitter and unwilling to mention the slightest bit of the past.He didn't even want to believe that Su Qingshu really accepted his daughter body, and really treated himself as before.If he hadn't seen her hating himself, he would have been moved by such obsession long ago.It's a pity that not only did he see Su Qingshu hating himself to the bone, but he also remembered those heartless feelings so clearly that he couldn't forget them even if he wanted to.

"It's windy at night, queen, go back to the palace, I want to review the memorial."

Su Qingshu heard him repeatedly rejecting her, her eyes darkened again and again, she lowered her head and bit her lower lip, feeling aggrieved and sad.Zhao Xiyan would not miss it, but he could only pretend not to see it, with a silent look.He didn't know how to treat her or reply to her, so he had to choose to escape again and again.

"Chen and concubine retire."

Su Qingshu didn't want to be in a hurry, let alone make Zhao Xiyan hate him, so he could only endure all the bitterness and go back obediently, but Su Qingshu didn't forget Yan Fengjun.

"Ms. Yan's time in the palace is very short, and she is not familiar with the palace rules. As a queen, I have the responsibility to teach the palace rules. Now, Mrs. Yan will go back to Fengxi Palace with me to study the palace rules."

Yan Fengjun didn't make a sound, just lowered his head to show respect, his heart was already churning.Zhao Xiyan was a little unhappy when he heard this, when did the queen become so jealous?Yan Fengjun doesn't have to abide by the palace rules when facing the emperor, let alone the queen?Zhao Xiyan picked up the tea on the table and took a sip.

"Who made this tea?"

"Reporting to the emperor, it's Lady Yan."

"I'm deeply in love with you. This tea is getting cold. The lady officer is going to make another pot of tea for me."

"As ordered."

Yan Fengjun agreed to Zhao Xiyan, and immediately went to the desk to make tea for Zhao Xiyan.In this way, Su Qingshu's order was disintegrated by Zhao Xiyan's few words, which also preserved the queen's dignity. At the same time, he also told Su Qingshu that Yan Fengjun was the person who served him personally, so don't act rashly.Seeing Zhao Xiyan protecting Yan Fengjun, Su Qingshu felt even more bitter.She married him as her first spouse when she was young, and she couldn't compare to her childhood sweetheart Xia Shuning, but now she can't even compare to a Jianghu girl?Su Qingshu returned to Fengqi Palace with bitterness and tears.Zhao Xiyan drank the new tea made by Yan Fengjun and continued to review the memorial without saying anything.Yan Fengjun smiled slightly. This person has good understanding and is also good at controlling the harem.

As soon as Su Qingshu left on the front foot, Wu Qingyao came with a medicinal meal on the back foot.Wu Qingyao is very good-looking, and her piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are even more outstanding, especially her ability to play the pipa with one hand.The queen mother didn't know that Wu Qingyao almost killed Zhao Xiyan, and thought that Wu Qingyao was just a woman raised by the deposed prince to seduce officials, and later she turned away from her secrets.Originally, the queen mother still had some prejudices against brothel women, but Wu Qingyao told the queen mother exactly what happened to her.Seeing her, the Empress Dowager was not talking nonsense, it was well-founded, and she was very sympathetic to her as a woman.What's more, she is extremely talented, she can play the pipa very well, and she is very good at flattering people, so I put aside my prejudices in my heart and I still like her.In the past, the maids of Xianfu Palace came to deliver the medicinal food, but today Wu Qingyao took the initiative to invite Ying to deliver things to Feishuang Palace.The queen mother has been in the harem for more than 20 years, how could she not see what Wu Qingyao was thinking.But she thought that Wu Qingyao had a very good means. If she could capture the emperor's heart, it would also be beneficial to spread the branches and spread the leaves, so she let her go.Wu Qingyao entered Feishuang Palace, and immediately saw Yan Fengjun who was serving at the side, and the two looked at each other.

"Qingyao kowtowed to the emperor, and the queen mother sent Qingyao to bring today's medicinal food to the emperor."

"Put it there, I'll use it later, you should report it to the Queen Mother first."

"The empress dowager ordered Qingyao to watch the emperor finish eating before going back."

Zhao Xiyan was really annoyed, as soon as one left on the front foot, another came on the back foot, and there was no end to it.Reviewing the mountains of memorials is already very tiring, so I still find time to deal with these women.Although Zhao Xiyan was upset, Wu Qingyao was a member of the Empress Dowager's palace after all, so she couldn't save her mother's face.

"Bring it up."

When Wu Qingyao heard that Zhao Xiyan was going to eat now, she smiled and served the medicinal meal respectfully.She was very gentle, gently lifted the lid of the soup pot, and gently handed the spoon to Zhao Xiyan's hand, pretending to accidentally touch Zhao Xiyan's hand.Zhao Xiyan's face has turned dark, do you really think he is a fool?Such obvious flattery.Zhao Xiyan suppressed his anger and used the medicinal food sent by Xianfu Palace.When Wu Qingyao looked at Zhao Xiyan's eyes, it was as gentle as if water could be squeezed out.But meeting Yan Fengjun's eyes, he changed his appearance again.Just when Zhao Xiyan was feeling unhappy, there was another sound from outside.

"Concubine Xian, please see me!"

"Please!"

Zhao Xiyan held the spoon, whether to eat or not to eat, another one came before this one left.Is it possible that I am a sweet pastry?Do you have to grab them one by one?Zhao Xiyan is not a fool, he can see what these women are thinking.Because he was also born a woman, his mind is much more delicate than that of a man.But except for Xia Shuning, he didn't want any of them, they were all troublesome.But a group of women are fighting over a woman and being jealous, it's a joke.Zhao Xiyan was thinking in his heart how to make these women die, and each go to find their own happiness, so as not to upset him.Although he is the emperor, he doesn't want to have three thousand beauties in the harem like his father.The placement of those concubines gave him a headache for a long time, and he was absolutely unwilling to let so many women into the palace.

"Chen and concubine greet the emperor."

"Why is the concubine Xian looking for me? But Qi Chen is looking for me?"

"Qi Chen has a fever and is muttering that he wants to see his father, so this concubine asks the emperor to come and see him at night."

"Are you a doctor please?"

"Please, I have already taken medicine and fell asleep."

"Okay, I'll go see him tonight after dinner."

"Chen and concubine retire."

"Okay, go back."

Qiu Ruyu was so easy to pass, the trip to Feishuang Palace was only for such a trivial matter as the child had a fever and wanted to see his father.The two women also noticed that Qiu Ruyu was a little different today, she seemed to be more delicate and beautiful, with exquisite makeup.Zhao Xiyan didn't notice it, but he remembered Qi Chen's illness and was a little worried.Although Qichen was already growing up, he was a young man, but he was still a child.After Qiu Ruyu left, Zhao Xiyan heaved a sigh of relief and continued to eat the medicinal diet.After a while, Zhao Xiyan finished eating.Yan Fengjun has been serving him for some time and knows his habits.Zhao Xiyan threw down the spoon, and got used to handing him a silk handkerchief to wipe his mouth.Wu Qingyao felt a sense of crisis when she saw that the two of them were acting so familiarly.It was all later, why did Yan Fengjun step on the front of her and get personal service.
