"The emperor has arrived, the queen has arrived..."
Emperor Hui and Queen Shi Shiran entered the palace and sat on high seats. Everyone immediately saluted. The salutes were mixed with the crying of children, which made Emperor Hui feel so happy that his scalp was numb. Even the children looked cute when they cried.
"Everyone, please sit down. It's a bit noisy. My dears, please don't mind. It's not good to have too many children. It makes people upset when they make noise!" Emperor Hui said in a show-off manner, looking troubled.
Who said that I would destroy my children and cut off my descendants?
Everyone:...
I know, I know you have a child, stop showing off!
Emperor Hui looked at the ugly faces of some people below, and then looked at the Smiling Tiger Brothers. He sneered in his heart and asked someone to take the child away.
He came to show off his son, but he couldn't let the child cry like this. What should he do if he cried too much?
Several children were taken down, except Nanzhi, who would not cry. She snuggled in her mother's arms obediently, eating and watching her beautiful sister dance.
The clan banquet ended in a "fun and harmonious" atmosphere, and everyone felt like their food was stuck in their throats.
Looking at the high-spirited emperor, some people felt dissatisfied. God is so short-sighted. This tyrant actually still has luck.
Such a cruel emperor should cut off his descendants, kill people at every turn, and exterminate his family. Yet he can still have a happy family. It is really unfair.
Emperor Hui is very scary. After three years on the throne, he has control over the government. He is vigorous and cruel in doing things. He is like a bulldozer. Everything in front of him will be bulldozed and pushed over by force, even if there are people standing over there. , but also to crush it.
Such a cruel and frightening behavior is worthy of the name of a tyrant.
The emperor and the scholar-bureaucrats jointly governed the world, and they were not allowed to kill the scholar-bureaucrats. However, Emperor Hui killed everyone, which did not give the scholar-bureaucrats who governed the country any respect. If they did not do well, they would be killed, and if they made mistakes, they would be killed.
What the hell is this?
But King Ning is different. King Ning is more in line with the emperor in the minds of scholar-bureaucrats. He can listen to what is said and respects the civil servants.
You must know that what can affect everything in the world, apart from the emperor's decrees, is the thoughts of the literati, coupled with the deterrence of powerful force.
Emperor Hui's reputation as a cruel tyrant is complete. Emperor Hui killed too many literati. He may have killed batches of moths. Even if the common people applauded, the ones who wrote were always scholars.
Even for the sake of his own head, he had to find a new person and a new boss.
The relationship between Emperor Hui and some of his courtiers became closer and tense. The more passive they were, the angrier Emperor Hui became. The more he waved his whip to get them to act and do their job, the result was that people became more negative and Emperor Hui killed more people. , it is a vicious circle.
Now Emperor Hui's head doesn't hurt so much, nor is he so anxious. He calms down, but it makes some people with ulterior motives anxious.
After the banquet, many people gathered around Prince Ning. The banquet in the palace was over, but the banquet outside was not yet over.
Emperor Hui listened to the secret guard's report, wrote down the names in a small notebook, and solved them one by one.
Nanzhi followed her mother-in-law back to the palace and opened various sachets one by one. These were given by the elders of the clan. They were either pearls, gold and silver products, or some cute gadgets.
Finally, he opened Prince Ning's sachet. Inside was a pair of small gold bracelets decorated with bells, which were very heavy. Nanzhi shook them by her ears twice and handed them to Concubine Xian: "Concubine, help me keep them."
Concubine Xian: "Concubine, I will keep these for you. They will be your dowry from now on."
Nanzhi didn't know much about dowry, but he smiled as he watched Concubine Xian put away the things.
Nanzhi was opening gifts, and Shi Peirou was also opening them. As a prince, he received more gifts than the princess, and they were much more valuable than the princess. Gold, silver, and jewelry were sparse and common.
After opening the gift from Prince Ning, Shi Bin saw a black seal. The seal was very small, with the child's name... Zhou You engraved on it.
There are also some plum blossoms carved on the side. The carvings are a bit rough, and some places are not round. At first glance, they are carved by novices.
Prince Ning gives a seal to his child?
She said to the palace maid: "Bring over the white box that was given to you last time for your first birthday."
After hearing this, the palace maid went to the warehouse to search for a while and brought it over. Shi Bin opened the box and found a white seal inside, which was square and as long as her index finger.
She took it out and compared it with the black seal. The size was the same, but the color was different. One was black and the other was white. They were both warm jade, and the tentacles were warm.
Shi Peirou looked at the two seals with a solemn expression, wondering why Prince Ning gave her such a valuable thing.
It's not impossible for an uncle to give a seal to his nephew, but the relationship between the emperor and Prince Ning was tense, so such a seal should have been given by the emperor.
The white jade seal didn't have a name, which didn't matter, but the second seal had the child's name and plum blossoms.
Shi Peirou held the seal in his hand and let out a long breath. He had a headache and didn't know how to deal with it. If he sent it back, the emperor would definitely know about it and give him a warning.
But it is inappropriate to keep it like this, even if it is engraved with names, but the unfamiliar plum blossoms on it may have been engraved by Prince Ning himself, so things are different.
What does it mean to carve a seal for your nephew personally?
Don't dare to think, don't dare to think.
If the emperor discovers the existence of the seal, he will still give him a warning.
It might even be a conspiracy!
Shi Peirou is so confused, how should she deal with it?
"Bring me a hammer." What to do, the only way is to destroy the body and eliminate the traces. The emperor was already very indifferent to her now. If she was discovered again, there would be a complete dissatisfaction with her.
Taking the hammer handed over by the palace maid, Shi Peirou raised the hammer, but it didn't come down.
Yes, the emperor no longer favored her, and there were more children in the harem. Her children no longer attracted the emperor's special attention.
The tenderness of the past seems to be a long time ago. It is clear that she has been in the palace for less than two years and has experienced ups and downs, but she feels that she has gone through a lot of vicissitudes. Life in the harem is difficult.
"When..." The hammer fell and landed next to the seal. The black warm jade seal was intact and the hammer landed next to it.
A palace maid with her head lowered in the room looked up, her eyes flickered for a moment, and then she lowered her head, looking respectful and humble.
"Put it away." Shi Peirou decided to put this thing away, but put it in the most inconspicuous place where it could gather dust.
This is something that the emperor must not see.
On the one hand, Shi Peirou was frightened, and on the other hand, she was frightened by this dangerous and inexplicable emotion.
The next day, Emperor Hui came to Shi Peirou's palace and asked directly during the meal: "What did the third child give to the child?"
Shi Peirou tightened her grip on the chopsticks. She didn't know why she felt nervous. Even though the seal had the child's name and plum blossoms engraved on it, she was in the palace and had no interaction with Prince Ning. What was she afraid of?
