"I just want to see my mother as soon as possible." The emperor's murmur fell in the ears of the young eunuch, but there was a sour and distressed feeling in his heart.
The emperor is actually only a few years younger than his younger brother. It is the time when he is clingy, but our Queen Mother is a person who attaches great importance to rules and propriety.
Not to mention wanting to play with her, it would take a lot of courage to even get close to her.
Tears welled up in his small eyes, but when he thought of Feng Qing's previous teachings to him, Yuan Che raised his little hands and rubbed his eyes.
A man doesn't shed tears easily! He can't cry! This doesn't look like an emperor at all, and he can't live up to his father's expectations!
After the little eunuch tidied up the emperor, he allowed the emperor to walk into Yongguang Hall with confidence.
"My sons and ministers send greetings to the queen, and the queen will be happy forever."
Yuan Che bowed obediently, and the rules were exactly the same.
Even Cui Yun, who was behind Sheng Shaoqing, nodded slightly in approval. This was all due to the Queen Mother's consistent teaching.
Sheng Shaoqing stared at the little meat dumpling in front of him and saluted her politely, and began to endlessly recall what he was doing when he was four years old.
It seems like he goes to the ravines every day to dig stoves for picnics and pick persimmons to eat?
Or hold the TV and pursue the animation dream factory?
In short, he will not be like this child, behave like an adult.
Sheng Shaoqing was still stuck in his own memories without making a sound, and Yuan Che didn't get up either. He knelt there obediently and waited for his mother's instructions.
Everyone around was holding their breath and concentrating. Who knew that the emperor had made the queen mother unhappy again, and she didn't even let the emperor get up.
Cui Yun was also surprised behind him. This rule is quite good, why don't you let him get up?
Although the Queen Mother was usually strict with the Emperor, she would not punish him by kneeling for no reason.
As the empress dowager's female official, she naturally has to come out to smooth things over at times like this.
"The Queen Mother, we have half an hour to go to Qinzheng Hall, why not..."
Sheng Shaoqing finally came to his senses and said, "Oh, get up, get up."
The second half of the sentence 'I'm sorry' was already on his lips, but Sheng Shaoqing choked it back.
She is used to being humble in the workplace, and apologizing has become her subconscious way to solve problems.
When in doubt, quantum mechanics. If the situation is not good, run away quickly.
Fortunately, I endured it. Now that my status has improved, it is no good for me to stay where I am.
However, in order to express his apology, Sheng Shaoqing went to help Yuan Che up in person.
After all, he is both the emperor and his eldest son in name.
He gently helped Yuan Che up, patted the dust on Yuan Che's knees, and asked him if it hurt after kneeling for a long time.
Sheng Shaoqing didn't have much dealings with children. The few times children from relatives came to her house to play during the Chinese New Year. At that time, her only impression of children was that they were noisy.
It's really too noisy.
She would scream, cry, and get into a mess whenever she disagreed, so she never had a good impression of children.
However, the little dumpling in front of him was extremely well-behaved, and Sheng Shaoqing couldn't make a bad face. It would be bad if he scared the child.
Leave a good impression on your child so that you can be filial to her in the future.
All kinds of delicious delicacies and beautiful dresses were brought to Yongguang Hall like water. There were only two things to do every day: eat and wait for death. Such a beautiful life was beckoning to her.
However, Yuan Che's small pupils were full of surprise, and even the glances of the surrounding palace people conveyed the same message.
Queen Mother, why have you changed?
"Mother, I, I don't feel any pain."
His mother had always taught him that as an emperor, he should keep his emotions and anger in check and endure pain. Therefore, even if his mind told him that it hurt, his mouth could only say that it didn't hurt.
Sheng Shaoqing frowned when he heard this. He obviously saw the child staggering when he got up. His eyes were red but he said it didn't hurt.
However, Yuan Che looked up and saw his mother, who was squatting half-crouching to protect him in her arms, frowning. She thought he had said something wrong again, and instantly became nervous.
The little body in his arms was tense, and Sheng Shaoqing felt his tension, but he didn't know why.
Do you look scary?
It didn't make sense. She had looked in the mirror and found that Feng Qing was not a beauty, but she had an above-average appearance. If she looked closely, she still had a classic temperament.
Could it be that I haven't had much experience with children, so I scared him?
During the whole breakfast, mother and son didn't talk much, they both kept reflecting on themselves.
Fortunately, it was their normal state to eat and sleep without speaking, and the palace officials did not notice anything unusual about them.
When they arrived at Qinzheng Hall, Sheng Shaoqing personally led Yuan Che and walked in front of all the ministers. All the ministers were stunned for a moment.
The emperor had just ascended the throne for more than a month. After handling the funeral rites of the late emperor, it was time for the queen mother to begin hanging the curtain.
However, in the past month, the emperor always came to court by himself, and Feng Qing never sent him off, let alone held his hand.
I heard that the Queen Mother was always strict in teaching the Emperor in the palace, not rewarding merit but punishing mistakes. However, such a trivial matter could only arouse their attention for a moment.
Sheng Shaoqing sat on the phoenix seat dedicated to the Queen Mother, watching the bead curtain in front of her slowly lowered.
As her eyes wandered over the people crawling at her feet, Sheng Shaoqing's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and an inexplicable excitement surged into her heart.
Almost all of these people were older than her, and some of them were even gray-haired, and their hands were shaking when they were kneeling there.
Those who could appear in the early dynasty were without exception the top decision-makers of the Northern Liang Dynasty.
When the eunuch beside the emperor saw that the emperor and the queen mother had already sat down, they sang loudly, "All the ministers are at peace."
After the ministers stood up, several more young eunuchs came in carrying chairs.
They walked to the leader's position, put down the chair, and asked the veteran to sit down.
Cui Yun whispered behind Sheng Shaoqing's ear at the right time, "This is Prime Minister Ji Wenxuan, a veteran of the three dynasties. When the late emperor was still alive, he was given the gift of not having to pay homage when he went to court. But he repeatedly refused, so the late emperor could only give him the gift of sitting on the throne.
The favor of the dynasty."
Sheng Shaoqing nodded slightly and understood, this is a big boss and he cannot be offended.
And she just needs to play her role as a vase.
Cui Jun added, "Prime Minister Ji is a Han Chinese."
Sheng Shaoqing had a mediocre reaction to the previous ones, but he was shocked by this sentence. It was not easy for a Han to sit in this position in Beiliang.
Since Beiliang entered the Guan and founded the country, they have always looked down on the polite Han people, and even scorned their behavior.
But since we want to gain a foothold here, we can't be as free as we were outside the customs, with a hammer here and a stick here and there, without any regulations.
There is no rule without rules. This is the case in the world, and it is even more so in the imperial court.
Therefore, even if they dislike it, they can only hold their noses and learn the rules of the Han people, establish six ministries, and the prime minister is at the head of the officials.
As a result, Sheng Shaoqing, who is also a Han, admired this Han prime minister who fought through the siege and stood firm for three dynasties.
