Time flies by like a fleeting breath, and it’s mid-October in a blink of an eye. This year’s winter seems to have come very early. Before November, Kyoto has had several moderate snowfalls, covering the roofs and the ground with a thin layer.
Wrapped in silver.
In the past few months, several major events that everyone talked about happened in Kyoto. First, the eldest prince's concubine and his wife had miscarriages one after another, and then the eldest prince took in two or three wives one after another, but nothing happened. Then there was the second prince.
The main concubine and the side concubines were married together, and the dowry portion of the side concubine, 146 units, completely exceeded the 128 units of the main concubine, and the status of the side concubine Yao Yuying in the palace was even higher than that of the second prince's concubine.
With such momentum, the second prince was robbed of another book.
After autumn, Emperor Rende's health suddenly deteriorated, and the voices of the ministers in the court asking for the establishment of a prince became louder and louder. It was almost a must-discussed topic in the court, and some direct ministers even died to remonstrate. Emperor Rende later came to the court.
He became furious and had several angry outbursts. Instead of stopping, the situation became more and more intense, and several censors were even imprisoned.
On this day, Tian Minyan went to the palace to report the matter of military uniforms and charity hall. In the end, the emperor dismissed the Minister of War and others and allowed her to stay.
"Sit down." Emperor Rende's voice was a little tired.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Tian Minyan was not polite and sat down on the Grand Master's chair next to her, but she only leaned against the edge, her body rocking up straight.
Emperor Rende looked over and saw that she was looking at her nose, nose and heart, her lips were slightly pursed, her beautiful profile was fair and delicate, and she was at her most beautiful age.
"Is Mr. Huimin County going to have haircut soon?" Emperor Rende suddenly asked.
Tian Minyan was stunned for a moment, then replied: "Back to the emperor, my daughter is sixteen years old and will have hairpin on the fifth day of the first lunar month next year."
"Huimin County Lord has grown up too." Emperor Rende seemed to be sighing: "Time flies so fast."
Tian Minyan smiled slightly and agreed.
"Did Uncle Zhongxian negotiate a marriage for you?"
Tian Minyan raised her head after hearing this. After realizing that she was rude, she lowered her head in a hurry and said shyly: "Not yet."
"Huimin County Lord is very smart. I heard that the threshold of Zhong County's uncle's house is almost crossed by matchmakers, but is there someone you like?" Emperor Rende asked seemingly unintentionally.
Tian Minyan's face turned red and she said: "Marriage is an important matter, but it is the order of the parents and the matchmaker's discretion. Everything is decided by the parents."
"Since you came to Beijing, you have devoted yourself to the Southern Kingdom. No matter whether it is the winter clothes of the soldiers at the front, the vegetables in the greenhouse, or the charity hall, you have made a lot of contributions. I am deeply gratified." Emperor Rende walked away from behind the desk with his hands behind his back.
He came down, looked at her with burning eyes and said, "What do you want? I will reward you."
Tian Minyan was a little panicked for a moment, not understanding the emperor's intention. She was thinking about it a thousand times, but she had already stood up, bowed her knees and saluted Emperor Rende and said: "Your Majesty, I am afraid. This is all because of the leadership of the emperor."
Fang, I dare not take credit."
"You should be rewarded for your merits. I see that Mr. Huimin County has a gentle appearance and a gentle temperament. How about I arrange a marriage for you?"
Tian Minyan suddenly raised her head and looked at the Emperor in a daze. Her heart was pounding. She lowered her head and said, "My lord, thank you, Your Majesty."
"Well, I have seen that there are some children who are good at studies." Emperor Rende smiled and said: "The young master of the Ministry of Finance is seventeen years old. He is not yet married. He has a handsome appearance and a talented person. I heard that you have a good relationship with the Liu family.
There is also a legitimate son in that family, who also passed the scholar examination this year, and his talent and learning are not bad."
Tian Minyan lowered her head and frowned. She was shocked, but she didn't dare to show it at all, so she lowered her head a little, not daring to say a word.
"In a few days, we will go hunting at Shenlong Mountain. I will instruct several young men to go together, and Mr. Huimin County will also go. Then we can see the grace of our country's men and find a suitable husband."
Tian Minyan felt the gaze above her head was extremely hot, and her heart felt cold. Sweat gradually appeared on her forehead. She gritted her teeth and said, "My daughter obeys the emperor's will."
"Yes." Emperor Rende seemed very satisfied. He walked to the palace gate, looked at the sky and said, "The weather is nice today. Mr. Huimin County, please follow me to the Imperial Garden for a walk."
"yes."
Gao Bao put a mink fur cloak on Emperor Rende. When he was about to go out, Emperor Rende said again: "I remember that the Kingdom of Korea paid tribute to a fire fox cloak last year. Gao Bao, go find it and give it to Lord Huimin County."
.”
Gao Bao hurriedly responded, glanced at Tian Minyan again, and winked. Tian Minyan quickly knelt down to thank her.
Fire foxes are rare in the world. Using its fur to make a cloak would cost a lot of fire foxes. You can imagine how valuable it is.
Tian Minyan looked at the palace maid's fluttering big cloak. It was indeed fiery red, and even more like a flame in the snow. However, Tian Minyan secretly complained. After walking around in it, she didn't know how many concubines regarded her as a thorn in their flesh.
But she had no right to refuse, so she put it on the palace maid tremblingly. Emperor Rende looked at it and nodded repeatedly, saying: "Huimin County Lord is indeed a good-looking woman." No wonder Shiqi fell in love with it.
Tian Minyan thanked her again and followed the emperor slowly towards the imperial garden. She kept thinking in her mind, what did the emperor mean? She was just a girl, and her little heart could not withstand such a blow.
The Royal Garden is said to be the most beautiful place in the world. Even in winter, it is covered in snow and beautiful, like a fairyland.
"The voices in the court asking me to establish a crown prince are getting louder and louder. Mr. Huimin County, what do you think?" As they were walking, Emperor Rende suddenly spoke.
Tian Minyan was shocked, knelt down and said in panic: "Your Majesty, my daughter is a woman. Our ancestors have organized a group to train women not to participate in politics. I dare not get further apart. I hope your Majesty will forgive me."
"Get up and speak. I forgive your innocence. I just want to hear the truth." Emperor Rende clasped his hands behind his back and looked at her and said, "No one knows what you said here."
Tian Minyan complained endlessly, Emperor, you want to hear the truth, but I don't want to lose my life because of it. Accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger. This is an eternal principle.
"The Emperor is at the peak of his life in the Spring and Autumn Period. As for the matter of establishing a crown prince, I believe the Emperor has his own definition in his mind." Under the gaze of Emperor Ren De, Tian Minyan had no choice but to say bravely.
"Huimin County Lord has been in Kyoto for less than two years, and he has learned to make excuses." Emperor Rende squinted his eyes and said: "It is good to be wise and protect yourself, but sometimes, being ignorant of the low-key makes you appear more high-profile. Understand
?"
This was a clear threat. Tian Minyan suddenly felt chills on her back and knelt down again, saying: "Your Majesty, what I'm telling you is the truth. Your Majesty is in his prime and can live for thousands more years. But...
"She gritted her teeth and lowered her head and said, "But if the emperor appoints a prince and asks the prince to help, the emperor will get twice the result with half the effort in handling state affairs. After all, having more arms can distract you."
"Oh?" Emperor Rende's eyebrows twitched and his eyes flashed, and he said: "Then tell me, is it better to establish the eldest son or the second prince?"
I'm out, there's still another chapter, I'm not sure when it will be released, don't wait, get up early tomorrow and read it~
