453,

【Year of Qibei: Ninety】

The emperor was coaxing Miankai to play, and Nian220 sat down on the kang beside him, and helped the emperor tidy up the scattered books on the kang and under the kang table.

Until...Miankai started humming and singing over there.

"Miankai!" Nuanian was startled and hurriedly called to the child.

Miankai himself didn't know what was going on, so he turned around and asked Nian Erle, "Auntie, does your son sing well?"

Children are young and don't know the importance of things, but the emperor understands.

The emperor hugged Miankai and winked lightly at Twenty-Twenty, "It doesn't matter, I like to hear it too."

But Twenty-Twenty couldn't help but clench her fingertips.

Fortunately, Miankai's singing of those two lines was not much more than an endorsement, so he just sang two lines and forgot the rest.

The emperor then laughed and ordered San Geng to take Mian Kai down to play.

The emperor stood up and walked over, putting his hand on Twenty-Twenty's shoulders, "You relax a little faster, it's not a big deal. There are a lot of opera singers in the palace this month, and he is young. It is the time to learn what he sees, and he will follow along with his ears.

Just a few sentences."

Nian and Twenty tilted his head and gently rubbed his cheek against the back of the emperor's hand, "Sir... Jiu Hui seems to be a good showman too."

There were several times when Nian Twenty went to see Mian Kai. In order to eavesdrop on Mian Kai's reading, he often walked directly in without asking anyone to inform him first. Occasionally, he heard Jiu Hui humming a few lines to himself.

The emperor nodded, "Yes, Jiu Hui can sing. When their group of young eunuchs first entered the palace, they were looking for people with good looks and good voices to learn opera in the inner school. He was selected.

.”

"However, because of his quick mind and good memory, he was later selected by Khan Amma to accompany me into the study room, so he did not officially go to the inner-secondary school. However, this interest has always remained."

The emperor sat down by the kang, his shoulder next to Twenty-Twenty's, and held her little hand with both hands, "It's not bad that Jiuhui can sing with two voices. It also helped me relieve a lot of boredom back then. Looking back now,

, I still feel that the clear sound is distracting.”

Nian Twen lowered his head, "But Mian Kai is a prince, and it's not good to start singing before he starts studying seriously."

The emperor thought about it and nodded, "What you said makes sense. I will personally tell him later that he should stop going to the theater from now on."

An idea surged in Nian Twen's heart, and he raised his eyes to look at the emperor.

The emperor nodded, "You say."

Twenty-two said softly, "...Sir, why don't you change Miankai to Shuda?"

The emperor was slightly startled and frowned subtly - others might not notice this subtle expression, but Twenty-Twenty still knew it.

Nian Nuan stood up hurriedly, "I know that Jiu Hui has been serving the emperor since he was a child. It is most appropriate for the emperor to point him out to Mian Kai as a familiar figure. However, Jiu Hui is so good that he can do it himself."

I didn’t know that I could hum it smoothly, and I subconsciously asked that naughty boy Mian Kai to learn from me..."

The emperor sighed softly and took Twenty-Twenty's hand, "It's still what I said just now: relax, don't be so nervous, ah. Miankai is still young, and what matters right now is his safety. With Jiuhui

Only in this way can we all feel at ease, right?"

"Besides, Jiu Hui's knowledge is top-notch among all the eunuchs. With him supervising Mian Kai all day long, he is the best candidate, isn't he?"

Since the emperor said so, Nian and Twenty-nine had no choice but to nod, "Okay, I'll just follow the emperor's advice."

The emperor then smiled, took Twenty-Twenty's hand and patted it again, "Let's not talk about him anymore, just talk about our own affairs."

Only then did Twenty-Twenty smile softly, tilting his head and leaning into the emperor's arms.

"Sir... are you okay with the eclipse of the sun and the moon?"

The emperor raised his hand and gently stroked the hair on the temples, "It's difficult, but fortunately there is Khan Amma here. He has issued the "Edict of Sin" for us all, so this time the solar and moon eclipses appear together,

The clan and ministers did not dare to criticize him too much."

"Then the emperor is so anxious to summon us back to the palace this time, but something happened?"

The emperor smiled and lowered his head, looking into Twenty-Twenty's eyes, "I know that the lunar eclipse will make you uneasy. Therefore, Khan Ama has discussed with me to advance the canonization ceremony of Concubine Ying and Concubine Fang..."

Twenty-two's heart was shocked, "How can this be so good?"

Concubine Fang just paid it back, Concubine Ying was already nearly seventy years old.

The emperor gently closed his eyes and held Twenty-Twenty's hand, "I will go and salute the two empresses in person. Both empresses insist on being willing to perform the canonization ceremony at this juncture."

"Both of them said that they should not have received this promotion. Since they have received it, it is the grace of the Supreme Emperor, and they should live up to the Emperor's grace."

Nian Twen took a deep breath, but still couldn't control her tears, "Just like the Jiaotai Palace was destroyed by fire, I should be the one to bear all these misfortunes, but the two empresses went to perform the wedding ceremony for me, and for me

I immediately conferred the title after the lunar eclipse..."

The emperor nodded, "They all said that it was not for Khan Amma, or for the country of Qing Dynasty and us, but also for the emperor's mother... When they were around the emperor's mother, they were treated very kindly by the emperor's mother.

This is the friendship between them as old sisters."

Nian Nian quickly stood up with tears in his eyes, clasped his hands to the sky, "Please protect me from the emperor. From now on, nothing like this will happen again."

The emperor stood up and hugged Twenty-Twenty gently, "The Emperor will hear you."

Three days later, the Supreme Emperor appointed the great scholar Su Ling'a as the chief envoy, and the Minister of Rites Deming as the deputy envoy, who conferred the title of Concubine Yuan on Chijie. He appointed the great scholar Liu Yong as the chief envoy, and the Minister of Rites Ji Yun as the deputy envoy, who conferred the title of Fang on Chijie.

concubine.

This was after the death of Empress Xiaoyi, and the position of imperial concubine had been vacant for more than 20 years before a new owner was finally appointed.

After this joy, it stopped everyone in the palace and harem talking.

In order to appreciate the true love between the Supreme Emperor and his son, after offering sacrifices to the sky during the Winter Solstice Festival, the Emperor personally led the princes and domestic and foreign civil and military ministers to report to the Supreme Emperor: Since next August will be the 90th birthday of the Supreme Emperor, the Emperor would like to hold a grand ceremony for the Supreme Emperor.

The Supreme Emperor has been keeping the longevity celebrations simple for many years, even refusing to allow the internal and external ministers to present their wishes. However, this time it is an unprecedented grand ceremony for the ninetieth year old, and the Supreme Emperor himself feels that "if he refuses and refuses to accept it, it will be like hypocrisy." This

Only then did he issue the edict and allow it to be carried out.

After the Emperor's edict was issued, there was great joy both inside and outside the court, and everyone was looking forward to the celebration next year.

Twenty-two was even more overjoyed and ran to the small Buddhist hall to pay homage to Queen Xiaoyi.

Ever since the fire last year, when the Supreme Emperor issued the "Edict of Guilty Oneself" and used the old man himself to replace the emperor and bear the punishment of God, Twenty-Twenty's heart has been unsettled. If we can use an ancient celebration to win

If she had washed away all that incident out of joy, she would be relieved.

Because of this expectation and the preparations for the Chinese New Year, the entire palace was filled with joy both inside and outside the palace.

N220 was also thinking about what kind of message she should give to the Emperor, so that he could be happy for the first time in the new year. It happened to be that every year in December, there was an Ice Play Ceremony, and N220 heard the Emperor tell her that when he was a child, he

He often accompanied Empress Xiaoyi to see Bingxi. At that time, he was still young, and he once put on skates and walked on the ice himself.

She took Mian Kai into her heart and quietly took Mian Kai to the lake in Xiyuan to learn how to walk on the ice.

When Miankai was little, Twenty-Twenty even had this idea, but couldn't make it happen. This year, Miankai turned three years old, and her legs and feet can stand firmly on the ice. Twenty-Twenty's wish has come true before her eyes.

For this reason, 221 repeatedly avoided visiting his wife, both inside and outside, and spent every day not in the palace, but in Xiyuan.

On this day, Mianning's Fujin Shushu went in to pay his respects to the ladies. He didn't see the imperial concubine, so he went all the way to concubine Ying and concubine Ying's palace to salute.

When they arrived at Yingbin's palace, Yingbin smiled and glanced at Shu Shu, "Do you know what the imperial concubine is busy with when she's not in the palace?"

Shu Shu heard something outside the words and squinted her eyes slightly, "My wife doesn't know, so please ask Concubine Ying for advice."

Yingbi opened her mouth in an exaggerated manner, "Oh, you don't know! I thought you knew it a long time ago. After all, you are all members of the Niu Hulu family's Hongyi family."

Shu Shu's cheeks felt hot, and she smiled awkwardly, "Because the Imperial Concubine E Niang has to perform her filial piety in front of the Supreme Emperor and the heads of the Qianqing Palace, the Imperial Concubine E Niang does not need to have her daughter-in-law do morning and dusk readings every morning, and just calls her

My daughter-in-law only comes in every five days to pay her respects."

"My daughter-in-law lives with her second elder brother in the Xiefang Palace and is not in the inner court, so there is not always news between her and the imperial concubine Eniang."

Yingbi snorted, "That's right. She has her own third elder brother, so naturally she can't let you guys know about everything. Even though you are sons of the same family, there are two princes separated by

If the benefits are gone, the friendship between our family will be worth nothing."

Shu Shu felt a surge in his heart and became more and more worried.

"Please give me some advice from Concubine Ying..."

Yingbi sighed, "Seeing that it is the twelfth lunar month, who is not busy kowtowing to the elders and giving gifts? Besides, next year will be the 90th year of the Emperor's Wanwanshou. This is a jackpot during the Chinese New Year, but the Emperor will not like it.

go?"

Shu Shu was so nervous that the tips of her fingers clenched.

Of course she also knew how important this matter was, so she had already been making preparations for her elder brother and was looking around for a suitable New Year gift.

Now the emperor only has two princes, the second elder brother and the third elder brother. The second elder brother himself has lost his mother, but the third elder brother not only has his mother to look after him, but he is also a child. He is most charming and adorable. Come to think of it.

It would be easier to win the favor of the Supreme Emperor... Shu Shu's heart was always tense.

"What Ying Concubine A Niang means is that the Imperial Concubine A Niang is busy buying wedding gifts for the Supreme Emperor?"

Yingbi laughed and said, "Buying a gift? My dear second brother Fujin, do you think giving a gift is a simple matter? Especially giving a gift to an old man like the Supreme Emperor Rui... That is the most difficult thing in the world.

!”

"What if it's a simple gift, just a pile of gold and silver? The Emperor has never seen anything good? Is there anything in this world that the Emperor can take notice of? Therefore, the Imperial Concubine can

I didn’t buy any gifts.”
