Chapter 175 (Dragon Boat Festival Music)
though the breath was still unstable, the princess's posture was still full, and she said indifferently, "I know you are greedy. If you don't want to go back every other night, then I'll choose a few...since he Qingxian came to Beijing, all kinds of expenses in the palace have been frugal, but during the holidays, the palace should also be lively, so as to please the body and mind of the empress dowager and the emperor.
in mid-April, the palace sent an oral message to the royal relatives in Beijing that there would be a palace banquet on the Dragon Boat Festival, which could also be attended by ministers who had been busy implementing the new policy for half a year.
the day before the Dragon Boat Festival, Huayang and Chen Jingzong came to Chenfu to celebrate the festival.
Huayang finally saw his father again. In a short period of half a year, he had more white hair on his head, and he was busy and tired.
the imperial court issued a new decree in late March, and by now, all prefectures and counties across the country have received the news. Some officials close to the capital have even handed over their money to the palace every three days, reporting nothing more than which scholar clan has jointly submitted a letter opposing it, or that the students from which academies are making trouble again.
brought out a single piece, which is of no importance, but if there are more twists and turns, it will become the pressure of public opinion, as if the whole world opposes the New deal and resents the emperor and the cabinet.
is not in his place. Huayang can't empathize with the pressure of his father and brother, but he certainly won't feel good.
when he came to Chenfu this time, Huayang prepared two boxes full of medicinal supplements and told his mother-in-law to recuperate her body for her father-in-law.
while mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking, Chen Tingjian sat beside her with a gentle smile on her face, and then said to Huayang, "the eldest princess does not have to worry about his courtiers. When the examination law was first implemented, half of the officials in the world wrote and prepared their courtiers, and all the ministers ignored them. This year, the new policy is implemented. The same situation is nothing more than a repeat. The minister has long been used to it and will never take those criticisms to heart."
he looked at the overall situation of the world, military affairs, economy, officialdom, border countries, natural disasters, and so on, with a move in his hand, and he was already planning a few steps in his mind that the emperor would be upset by those trifles when he was young. He, as long as there was no big trouble, everything was expected.
the 56-year-old Shoufu adult slowly touched his long beard, with a heart of confidence and immortal bones.
is actually a little conceited and frivolous, but the old man has been so outstanding all his life that he has long been unaware of it.
Sun stared at her husband in disgust, but could not hide his smile after the stare.
Huayang can see that when she returned to Siyi Hall with Chen Jingzong after the luncheon, she had a chance to share her insight with Chen Jingzong: "my mother must like her father very much."
Chen Jingzong stood in front of the washstand and was washing his face. When he heard the words, he did not look at the eldest princess sitting on the bed, but only responded as if chatting: "of course, even you, the eldest princess, are very fond of the old man. The little civilian girl whose mother was born in one place has long been fascinated by the old man's elegant demeanor."
Huayang: …
she picked up the soft-soled sleeping shoes she had just taken off and dropped them gently, hitting Chen Jingzong right in the back.
when it was over, the sleeping shoes fell to the ground with a slight sound.
Chen Jingzong looked down at the princess's sleeping shoes, then at the princess who glared at him by the bedside, and suddenly said, "you must like me, too."
Huayang doesn't understand how he got this conclusion: "Why do I like you"
Chen Jingzong: "Mother often dislikes his father and occasionally hits him twice. Is this not exactly the same as you did to me" If you think your mother likes the old man very much, it proves that you like me, too. "
Huayang retorted: "my mother's dislike of my father is false, but my dislike of you is true."
with that, she lay down with her back to him.
Chen Jingzong smiled, dried his hands and face silently, unfastened his robe as he walked to the bed, finally came to the bed in a pair of trousers, pressed on the eldest princess lying on his side, clasped her wrist with one hand, held her wrist and said, "come on, let me see how the eldest princess really hates me."
Huayang could not move, so he could only stare at him.
Chen Jingzong didn't say anything or do anything, but just looked her in the eye with a smile.

before long, Huayang tilted her head, her eyelashes half-drooping, her red lips slightly pursed, as if a little angry, but her peony-like cheeks became redder and brighter.
Chen Jingzong kissed her exposed earlobe: "do you so dislike people" Then I'd rather be rejected by you every day. "
the lotus bowl has just been prepared, and it can't be used until the evening. Chen Jingzong let go of the eldest princess so she let her go and lay aside.
after all, it was summer, and he didn't want to sweat in vain.
Huayang lay on his side, looked at him for a while, and said, "I'll go to the palace for dinner tomorrow, and I'll stay in the palace for a while."
Chen Jingzong frowned: "how long will you live"
Huayang avoided his resentful eyes and said, "by the end of the month, my brother has been very irritable recently. I'll spend more time with him."
Chen Jingzong thought that at yesterday's meeting, the young emperor seemed to have a fiery bubble in the corner of his mouth.
the emperor's status is honorable, but the burden is also heavy. When he encounters that kind of futility, the government affairs are all handed over to the cabinet, and if he indulges in pleasure, he will basically not get angry, and Emperor Yuanyou is very energetic and ambitious, so he will bear the corresponding pressure when he is in trouble.
Emperor Yuanyou may be as calm as an old man when he is in his thirties or forties, but now he is still very young.
"there is also a gap between brother and sister, so it's time for him to marry a queen."
Chen Jingzong held the eldest princess in his arms and squeezed her hand: "the lady has a strict temper. Big things may help the emperor solve problems, but it is useless to reason with small troubles. There is a pillow who knows the cold and the hot, and sometimes he doesn't have to talk. Even a hug will make him feel better."
Huayang: "soon, in August next year, the Ministry of Rites will choose Xiu girls from all over the country. Xiu girls will go to Beijing to educate for a period of time. The following spring, my younger brother will be eighteen, just in time to get married and be pro-government."
the old ancestors laid down the system of selecting concubines for the emperors of this dynasty. The cabinet and the ministry of etiquette went step by step. What the mother could do was to select three dignified and virtuous women out of the 50 beautiful girls who were finally selected. After the younger brother himself chose one of them, the rest would be concubines.
it is a pity that Huayang was reborn in December of Yuanyou three years ago and failed to see his brother's draft.
but according to her mood and temper at that time, she probably wouldn't care too much. A stinky brother who didn't take her words to heart, she didn't care what kind of wife he married!
"will you stay in the palace for a long time when he gets married" Chen Jingzong asked.
Huayang glared at him.
ask clearly, in the folk family, how many wives like the eldest sister-in-law and sister-in-law who often go home to point fingers
there are many royal rules. Although Huayang is not afraid of the future empress's brothers and sisters, she does not want to cause trouble for no reason.
at the Dragon Boat Festival palace banquet the next day, Huayang and Chen Jingzong entered the palace early.
at this moment, Huayang also saw the hot bubble in the corner of his brother's mouth that had not had time to dissipate.
Emperor Yuanyou noticed his sister's line of sight and looked a little embarrassed for fear that his sister would laugh at him.
Huayang didn't smile, she was a little distressed.
she spent most of her previous life carefree. It was only after she was reborn that she was preoccupied with worries, not only to help her father get rid of the root causes of the seven great crimes, but also to find ways to solve the death of his father, Chen Jingzong, and even his father.
but she has several years to slowly plan and prepare, while her brother has to face a lot of courtship affairs, large and small, every day.
parents' love for their children will not fade just because their children grow up. Huayang's affection for her younger brother is the same. Even if his younger brother is taller than she is, his younger brother is always the younger brother, the baby doll she once held in her arms, the three-year-old who will cry with her when she pretends to cry, and the little prince who will solemnly ask Chen Jingzong to be kind to her when she marries.make sure that only the loyal servant beside his father guarded the door, looked directly at the other side, and closed the door again."have a seat, too." Chen Tingjian pointed to another empty chair...
