A Precious Pearl in the Imperial City

"Your Highness."

"Is the mother-in-law not here?" King Qi stopped to look at him when he saw the embarrassed expression of the palace servant.

"Go back to Your Highness, this morning, Mingyue Palace came to invite the Empress, saying that she was praying for the people and copying scriptures."

King Qi handed the carved wooden box in his hand to the palace servant: "When the concubine comes back, I will give this thing to the concubine. When this king was shopping, he felt that this bracelet matched the concubine, so he bought it."

Copy the scriptures?

In the entire palace, who did not know that Concubine Su did not like poetry, calligraphy, calligraphy and painting. I'm afraid that the only concubines who copy the scriptures are the concubines she dislikes, and she herself does not stick to a drop of ink.

Whenever Concubine Su was in a bad mood, there would always be concubines in the palace who were unlucky, and there was no exception.

"His Royal Highness." Chang Sui reminded in a low voice, "It is not advisable to stay in the harem for a long time. You should go to Taiyang Palace to greet His Majesty."

Outside the Taiyang Palace, Liu Zhongbao saw King Qi and saluted with a smile: "Your Highness, Fourth Highness."

"Hello, Gongan Liu." King Qi looked at the palace: "I wonder if the royal father is convenient at this moment?"

"The emperor said that if several highnesses come down at this time, there is no need for the old slave to pass the message, and your highness can go in." Liu Zhongbao opened the door for King Qi with a smile.

Walking through the solemn corridor, King Qi heard the laughter from the bedroom. He stopped, tidied up his clothes, and walked in across the threshold.

"My son, please greet the father and emperor."

King Qi's salute is very elegant, and even a picky etiquette official can't point out the slightest mistake.

"Get up, sit down and talk." Emperor Longfeng asked the palace staff to move a stool for King Qi: "Your fifth brother just came to complain to me about not having a meal, and the palace staff prepared breakfast for him."

King Qi looked at King Chen, who was sitting at the table, bowing his head to eat, and said with a smile: "The fifth brother has always had a loose personality.

"Have you ever had breakfast?" Emperor Longfeng pointed to the vacant seat on his right: "If it's useless, come and eat with your brother."

"Thank you for your love, my son has already used it."

"I'm a big man who can let a little girl take care of me?" King Chen put down his chopsticks, and very naturally accepted the service of the Taiyang Palace's palace staff.

Emperor Longfeng smiled without saying a word. He raised his hand and asked the palace servants to remove the seat: "Yanze, your marriage is imminent. If you have any additional purchases, please report it directly to the palace province and let them prepare it for you."

"My son's marriage, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Rites are very concerned about it. When I entered the palace today, I wanted to greet the father and emperor, and secondly, I wanted to see the mother and concubine." King Qi glanced at King Chen: "I only knew when I entered the palace. , the noble concubine and the concubine went to the harem to copy the scriptures and pray for blessings."

"It's a good thing." King Chen leaned lazily on the chair: "Thanks to the blessing of God, the father and the emperor are diligent in government and love the people, so that I can live and work in peace and contentment, and have enough food and clothing. It is also a good thing to spread the word about this action by your empresses."

King Qi chuckled: "The fifth brother's statement is reasonable. My son thinks that not only are the ladies copying scriptures, but as a prince, my son should also copy scriptures and pray for the people of the world."

King Chen glanced at King Qi from the corner of his eye. It was the first time he had seen someone offer to copy a book when he was so big.

What kind of spirit is this?

"Copying books is about sincerity and sincerity. I'm afraid that too many scriptures will be copied, and the gods will not be able to read them all." King Chen stopped King Qi's conspiracy to drag all his brothers and sisters into the water: "It's better to donate a sum of money. Going to the shantang is to do good deeds and accumulate virtue. Father, is what my son said makes sense?"

Emperor Longfeng nodded slightly: "Yanze, your marriage is imminent, you don't need to do such trivial matters as copying the scriptures."

"Yes." King Qi lowered his eyelids: "It's because Erchen didn't think thoroughly enough."

Emperor Longfeng wanted to say a few words about supporting each other after marriage, but seeing Yun Yanze's respectful appearance, he turned to look at Yun Duqing.

"Imperial father, my son is also a person who has a marriage contract. Although there is still a period of time before we get married, there are still many things to do." King Chen quickly said, "I think the Ministry of War is quite good, why don't you let my son go to the Ministry of War? How many days?"

Copying books is unwilling to copy books. Which normal person would like to do such a thing?

"The Minister of War is getting old." As an emperor, Emperor Longfeng still had some compassion for his confidants, at least he didn't plan to let his son harm the old man.

"I look at the Ministry of Rites very well." Emperor Longfeng thought for a while: "You go to the Ministry of Rites to stay for a while."

The Minister of Rites has a good temper, good eloquence, strong physique, and is not easy to get angry.

More importantly, the Minister of Rites is Ming Jingzhou.

"Father, I think this matter can be discussed again..."

"As a gentleman, I will issue an edict to the Ministry of Rites tomorrow." Emperor Longfeng waved his hand, with a headache expression on his face: "You kneel down."

"Father, father, father..."

"Liu Zhongbao, please go out with King Chen."

Seeing that King Chen was "invited" out by Liu Zhongbao, King Qi stood up and bowed: "Father, my son also retire."

Among the princes, except for Yun Duqing, who would dare to make such a fool of themselves in front of the father?

"His Royal Highness." Liu Zhongbao stood at the door with a smile: "Please don't be angry, Your Highness. His Majesty arranged for you to go to the Ministry of Rites for your own good."

Of course, it is also for the good of the Minister of War.

Although there are many chores in the Ministry of Rites, many of them are related to the imperial examinations in the academy. His Majesty insists that the Fifth Highness go to the Ministry of Rites, all of which are paving the way for His Royal Highness.

"Fifth brother." King Qi walked out of the hall and came to King Chen: "Congratulations to the fifth brother."

"What's the joy?" King Chen raised his eyebrows: "Don't tell me you're not happy in the Ministry of Housing?"

King Qi smiled indifferently: "It is rare for the fifth brother to offer to share his worries for the father and emperor, and naturally it deserves a congratulations."

"Fourth brother's congratulations, I accept." King Chen smiled half-smilingly: "But verbal congratulations are not enough. When you go back, remember to send the congratulations to my house."

After speaking, he turned around and walked away.

Liu Zhongbao watched this scene with a smile, and when King Chen left, he bowed and saluted.

In Mingyue Palace, Concubine Su ate a piece of fruit that the maid fed to her mouth, picked out a copy of the scriptures and read it, tsk tsk shook her head.

"The handwriting is perfunctory, and their hearts are not sincere." She sighed: "Continue to copy tomorrow."

"Niangniang." Xiangxian whispered: "The emperor has issued an edict, asking His Royal Highness to go to the Ministry of Rites and learn to do things."

Su Guifei sat up on the couch: "How old is the Minister of Rites?"

"It's just past the age of confusion, and you have a good temper."

"Oh." Su Guifei lay back lazily: "That's all right."

The officials of the Ministry of Rites felt that something was wrong, and it was a major event.

Among the six divisions of the imperial court, which division is the Devil King of Chaos going to go to, why does he have to come to them?

"The Minister of War is old and can't stand it."

"The Minister of Industry is short-tempered and easy to do."

"His Royal Highness King Qi is at the Ministry of Housing."

"His Royal Highness King Huai is in the punishment department."

"Isn't there an official department?"

"The Minister of Officials loves to slam into the wall and give death advice whenever a word disagrees, you know."

"Then when King Chen arrives at the Ministry of Rites, who will take him to work?"

Everyone was silent, no one spoke.

The sound of footsteps came from outside the door, and everyone turned their heads in unison. When they saw that the person who came was Ming Jingzhou, a dazzling light burst out in their eyes.

It's him!

Ming Jingzhou was taken aback by the eyes of his colleagues. He took two steps back and asked in confusion, "Why do my colleagues look at me like this?"

"Brother Ming, think about it, there is no obstacle in the world."

"Brother Ming is really imposing and personable today."

"The glory and rise and fall of our Ministry of Rites depends on you."

Ming Jingzhou found that his colleagues who had quarreled with him a few days ago because of political discord were also smiling at him with an old face. The smile was extraordinarily sincere and friendly.

There were two servants in the Ministry of Rites, and the other servant Zhou Rui, seeing that Ming Jingzhou didn't know what happened, he couldn't help but smiled and patted his shoulder: "There was an edict from the palace just now, His Royal Highness Chen Wang Come to our Rites."

Ming Jingzhou: "..."

Marrying his daughter does not count, and he has to teach his son-in-law in advance. What kind of human suffering is this?

Does Your Majesty's conscience really have no pain at all?

"This is the Ministry of Rites?" Jiuzhu stepped out of the carriage holding the food box, looked up at the plaque on the door of the Ministry of Rites, and was amazed: "What a beautiful word."

The spring equinox walked to the guards who guarded the gate of the Ministry of Rites: "Sir, the family members of the Ming Shilang's mansion will send food boxes for the Ming Shilang. Please pass the information on your behalf."

"Please wait a moment." It is common for female family members to come to deliver food boxes, and the guard made a gesture, and someone went in to pass the message.

It was the first time that Jiuzhu came to the Ministry of Rites, and even the pair of stone lions at the door felt particularly majestic.

My father is very strong and can work here.

The sound of the hooves of the hooves came, and the moment Jiuzhu turned her head, she smiled and rolled her eyes: "Your Highness."

"Why are you here?" King Chen jumped off the horse and saw the food box in Jiuzhu's arms: "Deliver food for Shi Lang Ming?"

"I have nothing to do with me. I heard my mother arrange for someone to come and deliver the food, so I came along with me." Jiu Zhu looked at King Chen suspiciously: "Why did Your Highness come here?"

"This king naturally has something to do." King Chen raised his chin slightly: "This king also serves in the Ministry of Rites, but unlike you, this little girl has nothing to do all day."

"Your Highness is amazing." Jiuzhu looked at King Chen with flickering eyes, as if there were stars scattered in her eyes.

King Chen, who originally planned to come to the Ministry of Rites to take a look and leave, looked at these bright eyes and smiled lightly: "It's just a small matter."

"His Royal Highness knows who wrote this plaque, and the characters are very beautiful."

King Chen looked up at the plaque and thought for a moment: "This word was written by the famous minister Wang Jiaxu. He accompanied his ancestors to conquer the world, made laws, and lived a clean and honest life. After his death, countless people spontaneously wore filial piety and guarded the mausoleum for him. , calling him the Master Qingtian, a figure worthy of admiration."

"Your Highness knows a lot." Jiuzhu said with emotion: "If you can be loved by so many people, you must be a good official."

"Naturally, it is a blessing for the court to have such capable officials, and it is also a blessing for the common people..."

"Wei Chen has seen the prince." Ming Jingzhou walked up to King Chen and saluted: "I don't know if your Highness is coming, but Wei Chen has lost his way. Please forgive me."

King Chen helped Ming Jingzhou and returned half of the younger generation's salute: "You and I work together in the Ministry of Rites, you really don't need to be so polite."

work together?

Even the ceremonial department didn't step in, so it counts as working together?

"Father." Jiuzhu handed the food box to Ming Jingzhou, and happily gave a blessing to King Chen: "I didn't expect His Highness and father to be colleagues. In the future, please take care of my father more."

"It's easy to say, easy to say." King Chen smiled: "Master Ming learns to be rich in five cars, and he is only eight buckets tall. There are still many places for juniors to ask adults for advice."

Jiuzhu felt that His Highness King Chen was right, so he turned his head and looked at Ming Jingzhou seriously: "Your Highness is still very young, it is normal to have things that you don't understand. Father should teach His Highness more."

Ming Jingzhou looked at himself with a friendly smile

, King Chen, who also gave himself the gift of the younger generation, hugged the food box in his arms tightly.

Your Highness King Chen, something is wrong with you!

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

King Chen: Smile, in front of my own woman, I am the most capable cub in the capital.

Ming Jingzhou who hugged himself tightly: Scared!

Jiuzhu: Your Highness, is the most powerful Highness!
