many worries

Emperor Yuande has been in poor health recently, and he is obsessed with cultivating immortals and alchemy. What Jing Xu did last time was too useless. Emperor Yuande praised him but demoted him, so he randomly arranged for him to do something else. Now he is fully responsible for political affairs. Arrived on Jing Yan's head.

It was early winter at this time, and there was a drought in the north this summer. Although most of the surrounding areas of the capital were rich, there were still some poor peasants who couldn't even pay the taxes. They sold their land and houses to pay off their debts, and went to the city to beg.

Jing Yan discussed this matter with several important officials in the court for a while, and finally approved the red, told them to retreat, and read the papers again, a young eunuch reported outside, saying that General Lu had come.

Lu Zhao's mother was seriously ill, and there was no one at home. Saibei has been very peaceful recently. Emperor Yuande simply acted as a good person and asked Lu Zhao to come back early to take care of his mother.Lu Zhao hurried back all the way, and after resting at home for less than two days, he was going to report to the palace.

He led the two lieutenants in, first saluted, and kowtowed together after the door was closed.Lu Zhao is indeed a natural talent, but he was suppressed by the Feng family before, if Jing Yan hadn't taken a fancy to him, he would never be able to succeed in his life.

Lu Zhaodu reported the matter of Saibei in detail. He hesitated for a moment, and finally let the lieutenants on one side retreat, took two steps towards Jing Yan, and knelt down with his knees straight. With a sound, he has always done things in silence, and he is very satisfied with everything now. On the one hand, he wants to repay Jing Yan for his kindness and rescue, and on the other hand, it is also a lifelong wish. He has almost nothing else to ask for, but now there is really no other way.

Lu Zhao opened his mouth, and said after a while, "It's the minister, the younger sister of the subordinate..."

He has a younger sister, named Lu Xi, who was captured by Feng's family and was almost sold to the fireworks field, but was rescued later, and her body was ruined.Even though she is beautiful and talented, she still cannot get married.Even if someone proposes for the sake of Lu Zhao's power, he is not a good family.Lu Zhao didn't want to wrong her, and he would not live well in the rest of his life, so he still let her live at home with peace of mind, and this stay will last until this year.Three years ago Lu Zhao was not very conspicuous, but now it is different. Emperor Yuande valued him very much, so it was natural to appease the threat.Next year's spring will be a general election held every three years. Girls of the right age who have not yet been married will not be allowed to remarry. This time in the general election, Lu Xi will definitely enter the palace and become a concubine.For this reason, Mother Lu pretended to be sick and asked Lu Zhao to come back to discuss the matter.

Lu Zhaobie knows what life is like in the palace. So far, he still doesn't ask for much power, but he hopes that his family will be safe and his mother and sister will be happy.

He thought for a long time, and only came up with an idea. He begged Jing Yan and said, "I only have such a younger sister. I don't want her to enter the harem, and I can't get out for the rest of my life. I only hope that His Highness can choose her in this general election. She is timid." , must live in peace and contentment, and don't expect anything extravagantly, and His Highness doesn't need to take pity on her. In the future, when the big thing is done, if she is released from the palace, the subordinates will have nothing to ask for."

The room was silent for a moment, Jing Yan raised his eyebrows, raised his hand and took a sip of tea, "I'm afraid it won't work. I have a sweetheart in my heart, so I can't marry wives and concubines. Besides, in the current situation, I shouldn't It has something to do with military power."

Lu Zhaohong focused her eyes, her voice was hoarse, and she wanted to say something more, but Jing Yan interrupted her with a wave of her hand, "But it's not impossible. The sons of Prince Shengxing Lin'an are all good-looking. They haven't married a wife yet and are planning to return to Beijing." , is waiting for this year's general election to pick a beautiful and virtuous wife to go home."

In fact, what Jing Yan promised was never impossible, but it was related to Lu Xi, so Lu Zhao couldn't help asking, he hurriedly asked: "Your Majesty, will His Majesty be willing to let people go? Besides, the prince must value Xiao Xi. "

Jing Yan smiled, "Others are not willing, but if it is the King of Lin'an, he has to." This involves the past when he seized the throne. Emperor Yuande owed a huge favor to the King of Lin'an, he is a good face People, they will not embarrass Prince Lin'an's son with such a matter of face.But Emperor Yuande couldn't tolerate the power of other people, and King Lin'an lived in fear, so he had already hooked up with Jing Yan.

Lu Zhao finally understood. He kowtowed heavily to Jingyan a few times, and after a long time he got up, smiled, hesitated for a moment, "Then, is your Highness's sweetheart, Liangyu?"

Jing Yan took a sip of tea, he tasted everything, but now he frowned because of the heavy milk smell, and responded softly, "Well, you should know."

Lu Zhao's throat constricted for a while. He had indeed guessed vaguely, but he didn't dare to take it seriously.Liangyu was an eunuch, if they were still in the Taiqing Palace, it would make sense for them to be together for a lifetime.But now that it's out, Jing Yan will definitely ascend to the throne, not to mention the Sangong and Sixth Courtyards in the future, at least he will be surrounded by the empress who is the mother of the world, no matter what, Liangyu is just an eunuch.

Jing Yan's complexion remained unchanged, his eyes were extremely deep, he smiled, and seemed to be very gentle and calm, "I don't ask for many things, what I want is what I must get. Whether it is the throne or Xiaoyu. You want I have given you what I want. But in the future, if there is anything I want, are you willing to give it to me?"

Lu Zhao gritted his teeth and dared not speak.

He is already paving the way for the future, and when he ascends the throne, he will not stand up.Even if it is established, Qiao Yu is willing to be his queen. At that time, the court will inevitably be in chaos. It is necessary to find a few powerful officials to write a letter of approval before continuing.

This is simply contrary to the common truth in the world.

Lu Zhao struggled for a moment, with a big drop of sweat dripping from his forehead, before he made up his mind, "Your Highness has a great favor for his subordinates, and if you have anything you want, I will offer it to you."

In fact, there was another reason. Lu Zhao knew Liangyu well, and he felt pity for that naive little eunuch. If that happened in the future, he hoped that Liangyu would survive.

The lieutenant came forward again, and after saying goodbye to Jing Yan, Jing Yan called the little eunuch in, pointed to a few plates of tea on the table and said: "You ask the imperial dining room to do these things, and I will bring them back to Xianlin Palace later. .”

Jing Yan looked at the booklet for a while, and when the snack box arrived, he raised his eyes to look at the sky. It was dark outside, and he didn't know what his Xiaoyu was doing in Xianlin Palace. Dim sum on soft rolls.

Both cute as hell.

He had waited so long that he couldn't wait.

When Jing Yan came back, it started to snow outside, and the bedroom of Xianlin Palace was empty, so he came out and asked casually, "Where's Xiaoyu?"

The eunuch next to him hurried up to report, "Report to Your Highness, Eunuch Liangyu and Miss Jinfu went out to look at flowers, but they haven't come back yet."

What kind of flowers are there in this weather?

Jing Yan gave the snack box to the eunuch at the side, turned around and went to the study, but opened the window, facing the direction of the path.

The snow came too fast and too fast, and it was getting bigger and bigger. Jinfu didn't expect it, and she didn't even bring an umbrella.The two of them picked up the path and walked quickly all the way, hurriedly and slowly, stepping on the snow all over their feet, the soles of their feet were wet, and they returned to Xianlin Palace.

Jing Yan went out as soon as he heard the noise. Qiao Yu was wearing a white fox cloak and a hood, and his whole body seemed to be shrunk into a small ball. The snow was all on his eyelashes, which seemed to be shining.

He walked up to Qiao Yu, pulled her into his arms, brushed the white snow from Qiao Yu's temples, and asked with a smile, "Well, what flowers are you going out to see? Is it still cold?"
