Just when Nian Gengyao was feeling uneasy, Sixi made tea again and came in, carefully bringing it to Yinzhen, "Your Majesty, please have some tea!"
Si Xi was already prepared to be scolded again and even get splashed all over her body. Unexpectedly, Yinzhen was surprisingly calm and didn't say anything. He just took the tea and sipped it one sip after another.
Faced with such a huge contrast between Yinzhen and Yinzhen, Sixi raised his eyes in surprise, but soon he lowered his head in fear. There was no peace at all. Just a moment of contact made him deeply feel that
With the anger hidden in his eyes, Sixi felt that if he looked at it for a while longer, his whole body would be burned to the ground, without even a trace of ashes left.
The emperor...is really angry this time.
With this knowledge, Sixi lowered his head even more, not even daring to raise his eyelids. Nian Gengyao didn't know that what he said just now had greatly reduced his impression in Yinzhen's heart, and he just felt that he
It's a bit too aggressive and too tight, so it should be said more slowly.
It wasn't until he drank all the tea without leaving even a single tea stem that Yinzhen suppressed the anger in his heart. When he put down the tea cup, looking at the empty tea cup, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
And it continues to expand and become more and more sincere.
He walked up to Nian Gengyao, helped him up personally, and said harmoniously: "Get to work!"
Nian Gengyao was shocked by Yinzhen's sudden change of attitude. He stood up for a long time before he found his tongue, "Your Majesty, you...are you not angry with me anymore?"
Yinzhen shook his hand and said: "I have been with you for many years, and I still don't know what your character is. You are upright and straightforward, but you are extremely loyal to me. I have never known this."
I had doubts."
Hearing what Yinzhen said, Nian Gengyao was excited. He straightened his body and said, "Yes, I am loyal to the emperor. You can learn from the sun and the moon."
"So, how can I be angry with you? Sit down. Although I am the emperor now, I don't want to be related to you." Yinzhen's tone became gentler, and after Nian Gengyao sat down, he said:
"Just now you had sex with me.
It is inevitable for me to get angry for a few words, but after calming down, I found that what you said makes some sense. Su Yan has been with me for twenty years. This affection is really valuable, and even if it cannot be offset, it should be considered based on the situation.
"
Nian Gengyao was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "What does the emperor mean..."
"I will consider the reset issue seriously and will never wrong Su Yan." From the beginning to the end, Yinzhen had a friendly smile on his face.
Nian Gengyao was overjoyed when he heard this. He quickly knelt down and said, "I thank you for your kindness. Long live your Majesty. Long live your Majesty."
Helping Nian Gengyao up again, Yinzhen said with emotion: "There is no need to be so polite. You and I are both monarchs and ministers, and we are also close friends. I look forward to setting an example for kings and ministers to know each other through the ages."
Yinzhen's words made Nian Gengyao's heart heat up, and he said with emotion: "I am just a mediocre and foolish person. To be valued by the emperor is really the blessing of my three lifetimes. I have nothing to repay. I can only repay the emperor with my body and my life."
The grace of knowing and meeting someone.”
Yinzhen took a deep look at him and said, "I know your achievements well in my heart. I am not the only one who will remember them. They will be remembered by all generations. I am grateful for them. If you are even slightly disrespectful, you are not my descendants or subjects."
"The emperor treats you so kindly, slave... slave..." Nian Gengyao was so excited that he could not speak.
Yinzhen smiled and said: "Okay, it's getting late. Come with me to the Qianqing Palace. Don't keep them waiting. This time you have returned from pacifying the northwest and made great achievements. I am very happy, so I'm very happy early." The governors and governors of each province were sent to the capital to celebrate the safety of this rebellion."
"Yes, your Majesty, please." Although there was still resentment in his heart for not being granted the title of king with a different surname, the repeated emphasis and kindness in his words still made Nian Gengyao quite happy, and his expression was much more respectful than before.
Yinzhen walked past Nian Gengyao. When no one saw him, his smile disappeared instantly and was replaced by a coldness that was incompatible with summer.
When they arrived at the Qianqing Palace, all the ministers had already gathered inside. In front of them was a banquet for two people, with seasonal fruits and fragrant tea on it, as a prelude to the formal banquet. Appetizing.
Seeing Yinzhen coming in, the ministers quickly stood up, clapped their sleeves and knelt down in obeisance, "I will bow to the emperor. Long live the emperor! Long live the emperor!"
Yinzhen crossed the crowd and sat down on a chair in the middle. Then he waved his hand to everyone and said with a smile: "It's rare to see so many people here today. Sixi, let's start the banquet in the imperial dining room."
"Slave, you obey!" Si Xi walked to the door of the palace and raised his voice: "The emperor's decree is conveyed, let's start the banquet!"
This sentence was spread one after another. After hearing Yinzhen's decree, the palace people who had been prepared early in the morning immediately brought all kinds of delicacies from the imperial dining room to the Qianqing Palace like water. Yinzhen had always practiced frugality, but This time the feast was extremely sumptuous.
In the middle of the banquet, Yunxiang came back, confessed his crime and went to the table. As for Luobu Zangdanjin, he had been quartered by five horses as punishment.
In this banquet, except for Yinzhen, only Nian Gengyao and Yunxiang had an exclusive seat, which shows that they are favored by the emperor. There is only one difference. The ten-year confinement has made Yunxiang calm. He is restrained and completely opposite to the arrogant and arrogant Nian Gengyao.
There were frequent toasts during the banquet, and the monarchs and ministers exchanged toasts. The atmosphere was extremely harmonious, until the old man who had been responsible for welcoming Nian Gengyao raised his cup to Nian Gengyao and said: "Congratulations to General Nian for being awarded the title of third-class auxiliary prince." "Although I am a few years older than you, my achievements are far inferior, and even my prestige is far inferior to that of General Nian."
The boss was dissatisfied with Nian Gengyao's previous arrogance and rudeness, so he secretly ridiculed Nian Gengyao and expressed the bad temper he felt at that time.
How could Nian Gengyao not understand? He cursed secretly in his heart and said with a smile: "The old man is joking. Nian has little qualifications and is a junior. In the future, he still has many things to ask the old man for advice. As for his prestige, I absolutely dare not accept these two words."
"You are so humble, Duke Fu. When we were greeted just now, we all experienced your majesty." As soon as he finished speaking, another person came up to him, but it was Qian Jinsong, the inspector general of Zhejiang. He also went When they met Nian Gengyao, they had a very bad impression of him. They also saw him as a coated slave, standing in front of them all. They were already dissatisfied. Since the boss raised his head, he naturally wanted to take the opportunity to say, It would also be nice to lose Nian Gengyao's face.
Besides, since the drought broke out in the capital, Yinzhen didn't even use the ice and used all the ice to relieve the victims. However, Nian Gengyao kicked over half a bucket of water wantonly. Once he stabbed it in front of Yinzhen, he would definitely get no benefit.
