The emperor is hard to chase

Chapter 1

In the third year of Yonghe, Dingnan Wang Rongxiao quelled the Lanyu Rebellion, and the teacher returned to Beijing.

At that time, Huiren Emperor Zhao Jinqing was industrious, with Ning Wang Zhao Yuan inside, Prime Minister Su Wei assisted, and Dingnan Wang Rong Xiao bowing outside.The Zhao Dynasty was flourishing day by day and gradually became a big trend.

On January [-]rd, it was windy and cold.It is advisable to marry and avoid traveling far.

It's the midwinter season, when the snow is erratic and the goose feathers intersect in the world, only white occupies half of the country.Even in the secluded and deep palace, snowflakes are still falling, and the majestic palace city is full of white snow, like a kingdom of ice and snow, which is too beautiful to behold.

The flames hissed and burned, and it was night.From time to time, there were light coughing sounds, and the speaker seemed to have a very serious cough.

"Emperor, now that the war in the south is over, you need to look at the harem more. The harem cannot be without a queen. This queen is not only the queen, but also the descendants of my great Zhao." Deep in the golden gauze curtain, A middle-aged woman was holding her forehead, and the accompanying maid was kneeling on one side and beating the woman's leg over and over again.

Looking from the outside, the night is dark and the candles are flickering.Zhao Jinqing, who was wearing a dragon robe, couldn't see the woman's face clearly, but could only see a long shadow behind the curtain.You can vaguely see the complicated head flowers, which seem to be declaring some kind of incomparable dignity.That was his queen mother, once the emperor's favorite concubine Lian, and now the Xiaoci empress dowager of Da Zhao.

Zhao Jinqing raised his eyebrows, and his long eyelashes covered his eyes.He stood under the stage, his body was a little stiff, and he whispered: "The emperor understands."

The woman hummed: "If you really understand, please favor the harem a lot. Qing'er, you are the emperor after all." She paused and said: "I always feel that there are too few people around you, and there are no caring people. Although Mulan is virtuous, she is a bit cold in the end. In a few days, King Dingnan will return to the capital, and it will be the time of amnesty for the world, so you should also choose some beautiful women to enter the palace."

"This..." Unexpectedly, the Empress Dowager Xiaoci would say such words, Zhao Jinqing frowned, and before he could say anything, he heard the people above scold him: "Why, is this trivial matter embarrassing? Qing'er, In this world, whatever you choose, you have to give up something else. The queen mother knows that you like Mulan, but if you meet the strange women in the world, you will find that Mulan is no different."

Zhao Jinqing was silent for a long time before saying in a low voice, "It's all up to the queen mother to decide."

The Empress Dowager Xiaoci nodded, and waved to the maidservant next to her, the hand that kept hammering her legs stopped immediately.The Empress Dowager Xiaoci waited for a long while, and there was almost no sound from the audience.I had no choice but to say: "Qing'er, you have such a temper, ahem..."

Then there was an intermittent dry cough, and Zhao Jinqing raised his head worriedly, "Mother, the emperor has made you worry. Ask Wang Lin to take a look, your cough..."

"It's not in the way." Empress Xiaoci intercepted Zhao Jinqing's words, and waved her hand wearily: "Forget it, go back and rest."

"Mother, you can't hide your disease and avoid medical treatment like this." Zhao Jinqing couldn't help saying, but his voice became lower and lower.He knows his queen mother too well, and it is impossible to change whatever she decides, what she believes.

"The emperor takes orders." Zhao Jinqing got up, and the yellow clothes covered by the dragon pattern gradually disappeared from the vision of the Empress Dowager Xiaoci.Zhao Jinqing pushed open the door, the night was dark, and the snow had stopped at some point.A few eunuchs had already swept out a narrow path. Zhao Jinqing was just about to go out when an old eunuch skillfully set up a sedan chair, "Your Majesty, King Dingnan sent a message."

"What did he say?" Zhao Jinqing hummed, looking at the eunuch in front of him, his eyes lit up slightly.

The eunuch's name is Gao Shun, who was left by the late emperor when he was alive.Character and methods are very reliable.

Gao Shun lowered his body, and his voice slowly reached Zhao Jinqing's ears. "The prince said that he will arrive in the capital tomorrow."

"Oh?" Zhao Jinqing pursed his lips, with a complex look in his eyes.

At the same time, the busiest places in the capital were crowded with people.In the dark night, there are lights everywhere.

The snow on the ground has long been swept away. In the bustling downtown, people are coming and going, and the shouts of hawkers can be heard from time to time.

Although the name of Ji Lilou is rough, the people who come here are not rough.There are both wealthy businessmen and princes and nobles.Outsiders' evaluation of this place is only four words, "beauty is like a cloud", although it is four words, it also expresses the most truthful part of it.

However, today it is a noisy place.Unlike in the past, the sound of crying can be heard from a distance.Surrounded in the middle of the crowd was an exceptionally handsome young man, who was lying on a bamboo chair with his back bare, his back covered with red marks and bruises.A big man next to him was holding a cane, and slapped the boy on the back, in exchange for a crying hoarse exclamation.

The big man whispered something, it turned out that this young man was a young man from Ji Li Building, because he beat up a guest, he was pulled out to show the public.Several women from Ji Li Building stood on the stage on the second floor, looking at the screaming man from a distance, with expressions of fear and disdain.

I only heard one of them say: "Yuning is over this time. He is really a poor child. If he hadn't stood up for me this time, he wouldn't have fallen into the current situation. I didn't expect my mother to be so cruel that she wanted to beat him to death." Is it? Yuning, he...is still a child..."

The woman in green next to him smiled, "Youlan, you feel so sorry for him, why don't you beg your mother? Aren't you afraid of being implicated..." She paused, then mocked: "You said, what is Yuning? for what?"

The woman named Youlan's face turned green and pale for a while, but she didn't speak.

"Oh, what a poor child. He dared to provoke Yuhenglou's owner. Could it be that he is so incomprehensible that the young man also provokes any women, and he doesn't even look to see if he has that fate..."

While speaking, the voice of the young man who was beaten gradually died down, leaving only a low gasp.

However, among the crowd, only a young man turned around. He was dressed in elegant white clothes, but there was a bit of arrogance in his eyebrows.The peach-like eyes raised slightly, looking at the beating man with a hint of warning in his eyes.

"At the foot of the Son of Heaven, Ji Li Lou used lynching in the street. I don't know if the word Wang Fa has ever been seen in his eyes?" The man's voice was calm and there was a bit of sting between his eyebrows.

Although he looks young, his aura is rare in the world.Peach Blossom's slanted eyes were full of coldness and murderous intent. Under such gaze, the big man's legs trembled unconsciously.

Xu Shi was frightened by the person in front of him, and the big man shrank a little.He is someone who has stayed in the capital for many years. Isn't this, this person in front of him... just the King Dingnan who was recently rumored to be returning to the capital soon?After all, he is a man of vision, so he immediately stopped, knelt down, and was about to say something, but the man snorted: "Go back and tell your mother, there is no second time."

The teenager's consciousness of being beaten was a little fuzzy, but he just raised his head slightly, and the figure in white came into view, and the man's appearance was a bit hazy under the dim light.He let out a long breath, the cold wind blew by, and the wound on his back brought dense throbbing pain, which made him almost speechless.

When Rong Xiao was about to leave, he glanced at the boy.The boy's face was covered with dust, and his right cheek was swollen and bruised from the beating.After vaguely recognizing something, Rong Xiao suddenly stopped in his tracks, and suddenly lifted the boy's chin with a pair of icy hands.This young man looks quite handsome, but his slightly struggling expression is a bit pitiful, but he hasn't bloomed yet, although he is very embarrassed, it can be vaguely seen that he is a beauty.Rong Xiao looked at him in surprise, and suddenly a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth: "What's your name? How old are you?"

"Sun...Sun Yuning...14 years old..." the boy said weakly.

Rong Xiao hummed, turned his head and glanced at the attendant not far away, and gave an unquestionable order: "Take it back."

Before Sun Yuning could react, he felt a soft robe covering his back, and the moment the air was cut off, the clothes touched the wound.Rong Xiao smiled at him, and said softly, "It hurts, bear with it."

That smile was reflected in the boy's eyes, like the beautiful moonlight, illuminating half of the sky.
