"To put it simply, you only need an identity and a surname."
"Sitting on the dragon throne, you don't have to think about anything, just listen to what the officials of the court say. If you are happy, just say it right. If you are unhappy, you will be dragged out and replaced."
"If you want to do a good job, you have to work hard. Before listening to the officials of the Manchu Dynasty, you have to be clear in your mind. If you are unhappy, you have to speak accurately. If you are happy, sometimes you have to drag them down.
Go out and change—"
The emperor stretched and sighed.
"Humans, who is not greedy for pleasure and loves to hear praises, but it is not good. When you are an emperor, you want to destroy people's desires and preserve the natural principles. It is painful."
Huo Lian nodded: "The emperor is the lord of heaven and earth. If the lord is unknown, the order of heaven and earth will inevitably be chaotic. If heaven and earth are chaotic, the lord will cease to exist. Therefore, the same emperors, some reign for a long time, some are just a flash in the pan, and some
Some dynasties disappear within two years, while others can last for hundreds of years until an unknown lord takes the throne."
Having said this, he bowed and bowed.
"Your Majesty, please work hard and be the Lord of Saints."
The emperor smiled: "I have been taught a lesson by you again."
As he spoke, he looked at the dazzling array of memorials, scattered inscriptions, and solemn seals.
"I used to be the sixth prince. I just wanted to live my life well, eat well and drink well. The order of heaven and earth had nothing to do with me."
"Now, since destiny is like this and I become the emperor, then I will naturally consider what an emperor should do."
"Destroying people's desires and caring for the world is what an emperor should do. Therefore, Governor Huo, don't worry, I will not be afraid of hard work."
Huo Lian leaned over and saluted: "Your Majesty, the Holy Ming."
The emperor's voice was silent for a moment, and then fell: "There is something that you must do personally."
Huo Lian did not stand up, but bowed her head again: "Your Majesty, please give me your orders."
The emperor said: "Princess Xuanwen's birthday is coming soon. Please escort Prince Changping back to see the princess." At this point, he sighed softly, "I can't leave the palace at will now, otherwise I will send him there myself. It's important.
Prince Changping, I don’t trust anyone except you.”
After the death of the first crown prince, he was given the posthumous title of "Xuan Wen". He had a son and three daughters, and the prince's concubines all had titles for their children. Especially the younger prince was raised by the emperor himself and asked to be taught by teachers.
When the accident happened, the young prince was five years old. Now six years later, he has grown into a handsome young man, who has just completed his studies, and is smart and alert.
The Crown Princess and the princesses had their lands outside the capital. Prince Changping would go back during the holidays, and his mother's birthday was never missed.
But it was escorted by imperial guards before.
I need him this time
Huo Lian responded and raised her body: "I accept the decree. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."
The emperor said with a smile: "Okay, you go."
When Huo Lian came back, Liang Siwan was still sleeping, wearing only pajamas. She walked out with the sound of chains and saw Huo Lian standing outside looking at the flowers on the window sill.
"It looks good." Liang Siwan said, "Zhu Chuan asked for it from the palace."
Huo Lian hummed and said, "This flower has stopped blooming."
"Really?" Liang Siwan said, "Then just cut it."
Although she said this, she never took a look at the flowers. In fact, she didn't care at all whether the flowers bloomed well or not.
"Come back so early today?" she asked.
Huo Lian said: "I have to go out for a trip. I will make arrangements when I come back."
Liang Siwan sighed, thinking that this time's matter seemed unimportant, at least not as important as the last time. The last time Huo Lian went out, she didn't say anything to her and left in a hurry.
"Aren't you going to have dinner at home tonight?" she asked.
Huo Lian shook her head: "If you don't want to eat, I will go to the palace to eat."
After saying that, he raised his hand and pinched off the blooming flowers on the windowsill.
"If you don't like this, ask them to get something they like."
Liang Siwan smiled: "Anything is fine, any flower is the same. There is nothing I like in this world."
She looked at Huo Lian with a smile in her eyes.
"Isn't that the same for you?"
Huo Lian smiled: "I'm not. There are still things I like to do in this world."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Liang Siwan remained motionless, with a smile on her face, but the smile gradually dissipated.
"You're not?" She murmured to herself, "Why are you not? Why aren't you? You can't not be!"
Liang Siwan reached out and grabbed the table, veins popped out on her slender wrists, as if a storm was about to break out in the room at the next moment.
But the maid standing outside only heard a crisp sound.
They looked at each other and stood still.
A long time ago, this sound of objects being thrown would be heard almost every day for more than half a year.
If things were broken, Huo Lian would buy and add to them. If the table and bed in the house were smashed and demolished, Huo Lian would rebuild them for her.
Later, Miss Wanwan stopped doing this.
What happened today? Did the two of them quarrel just now?
The two of them treated each other with respect and could not be called close, but they had never quarreled.
Could it be that it was rumored privately that the Governor had a new favorite?
The two maids' eyes were silent but they could not hide their eagerness to communicate - the Governor's Mansion was really quiet and not popular at all. It was a rare thing that was common in other inner palaces.
"Here comes someone."
Liang Siwan's voice came from inside, interrupting the eye contact between the two maids. The two hurriedly pushed the door open and looked at the broken teacup on the ground.
"Take it away." Liang Siwan said, "Let's get a new one."
The maids responded yes.
Liang Siwan stepped over the broken porcelain pieces, and the chains jingled softly.
"Tell them that dinner will be served in the garden." She said, "I want to enjoy the flowers."
The maids responded again and looked at the sky outside. The dusk was dispersing and the night was gradually dispersing. Liang Siwan was wearing white pajamas, with her hair loose, walking into the night like a ghost.
The sun jumped out of the valley, and the golden light filled the mountains and forests. Without the blockage of the thick imperial city wall, the young boy on the horse couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise when he saw such a vast world.
The young boy was wearing a gorgeous prince's dress. He was taught how to ride a horse by the master in the palace the year before last. However, he had not ridden much and was a little reserved when sitting on the horse, holding the reins tightly.
When seeing the beautiful scenery at this moment, people also relaxed.
"The best thing about my mother's fiefdom is this mountain forest." He said, raising his riding whip and pointing excitedly, "A palace should be built here."
Huo Lian nodded beside her: "If your Highness wants it, then build one immediately."
Governor Huo is really easy to talk to and is not as intimidating as the outside world reports.
Of course, this is because of his identity. He is the orphan of the former crown prince, a prince named by the late emperor, and the only nephew of his current majesty.
Huo Lian was rude to those court officials, so she couldn't be rude to him.
The young boy smiled: "Don't be in a hurry, I still have to concentrate on my studies and can't think about having fun."
Having said this, he glanced at Governor Huo next to him.
Governor Huo was wearing a dark robe, and there was a golden light shining on his body in the sunlight, which softened his cold face.
"I didn't expect that Governor Huo would be interested in hunting with me," he said.
This time Huo Lian personally escorted him to her mother's place. After staying with him, she also invited him to go hunting with her.
It turns out that the cold-hearted Governor Huo can be so considerate.
Huo Lian nodded: "Of course, I need to watch His Highness hunt in person, and rescue him in time when His Highness accidentally frightens his horse and falls off the cliff."
The little boy blinked, feeling that he understood but didn't understand.
"Why does it scare the horse?" he asked stammering.
Huo Lian looked at him and smiled: "Because I want you to scare the horse."
In the sunny spring mountain, the eleven-year-old boy felt cold all over his body.
