Wishful Things

The little eunuch didn't dare to raise his head and said: "Go back to Your Highness the Eldest Princess, I will go to the Imperial Study to find out the news..."

Princess Jingrong gave him a funny look.

"I don't eat people, why are you afraid of this?"

Worried about being taken back by her to be a noodle head?

What do you think, most people are not so lucky.

Seeing the little eunuch's face red and ears hesitating, Princess Jingrong stopped teasing him and waved her hand: "Go."

"yes……"

The little eunuch withdrew from the gate of the palace, and just turned around to wipe off his cold sweat, when he saw that the holy car in front of him had arrived.

A group of court ladies and eunuchs hurriedly saluted.

When Princess Jingrong heard the movement, she also stood up and straightened her skirt.

"See brother."

"You don't need to be too polite." Looking at the younger sister in front of him, Emperor Qingming's gentle tone contained a trace of blame: "Jingrong, if I didn't call you, you wouldn't know you came to the palace, would you?"

The eldest princess smiled and said: "Jingrong has a bad reputation, if he enters the palace frequently, wouldn't it just cause trouble for the emperor?"

"Since you know where the problem is, you should restrain yourself, so as not to cause me such a headache because of you." Emperor Qingming sat down in the chair while speaking.

The eldest princess sat down, sighed and said: "Brother Huang summoned my sister into the palace, couldn't it be just to say these things? If so, next time my sister will not dare to come again."

"You..."

Emperor Qingming glanced at her, shook his head, and there was a hint of helplessness in his eyes: "You are only relying on my sister, you, and I am not willing to punish you, so you dare to go around like this."

Then he said: "I called you into the palace this time because I have a business to discuss with you."

"Brother, please speak."

"Next year is my mother's 60th birthday. In addition to the birthday banquet, I also plan to build a Wanfu Building for my mother in Qingzhi Garden next to Shoukang Palace." Emperor Qingming said with a smile.

After a moment of surprise, the eldest princess said, "Brother Huang really has a heart."

But my mother worshiped the Buddha all the year round, and never liked these extravagances. How much money would it cost to build a Wanfu Building?

To put it bluntly, is this a birthday celebration or a discount for the queen mother?

Not long after the founding of Daqing, the national treasury is not full, not to mention the constant wars over the years... Even she, who only has a face, wants to get it. Doesn't Brother Huang have such a plan in mind?

But in the name of his filial piety, who can say a word against it?

Although this filial piety has been done, the only person who is happy is probably himself...

After so many years, Brother Huang still likes acting so much.

The eldest princess felt a lot of emotion in her heart, and she still had a smile on her face, and said: "For such a big event, my sister also wants to do her part of filial piety. This Wanfu Building, my sister is willing to contribute 10,000 taels of silver to build it together—"

"What do you want your money for?" Emperor Qingming said with a smile, "It's nothing more than building a building, I can still get some money out of it."

The eldest princess smiled.

Yes, it can be taken out.

After taking it out, it will be searched and filled from the people who are already miserable.

Brother Huang's superficial kung fu of only promoting his reputation, how long will he be able to do it?

"If the emperor doesn't let my younger sister do this little bit of filial piety, my younger sister will really be ashamed to see the queen mother, but she finally has a chance to redeem her merits—" the eldest princess insisted.

"You also know that what you have done has displeased the queen mother?"

Emperor Qingming smiled helplessly: "Since that's the case, then let me do it, lest you turn around and blame me for taking all the credit."

Seeing his agreement, the eldest princess was overjoyed: "Thank you, brother."

In my heart, I complained and sighed again and again.

Tell her to fill in 10,000 taels of silver, and she still has to thank her. What kind of tragedy is this.

"I have already asked people to complete the blueprints and wooden models, and the construction will start soon." Emperor Qingming smiled and said, "I plan to invite famous teachers and scholars to write the drawings and inscriptions in the building. Wanfu characters will be written by the town. Mr. Xu from the Duke's Mansion came to ask questions."

Princess Jingrong nodded.

It's decent, it doesn't cost money, and it looks elegant, which is very good.

Emperor Qingming spoke many details again with great interest, and Princess Jingrong echoed and praised her a few words from time to time.

"This is my mother's 60th birthday, which is not comparable to ordinary birthdays in previous years."

Emperor Qingming took a sip of tea, and turned to other things: "Jingrong, in your opinion, may I call Dingchen back to Beijing to celebrate my mother's birthday together?"

Dingchen is the character of King Yan.

The Eldest Princess tightened her hand holding the teacup slightly, and said: "Second brother is stationed in the northern border, I'm afraid I may not be able to escape."

"I think so too." Emperor Qingming sighed with a smile and said, "But it's a big birthday after all, if I don't recall my second younger brother, some people might think that I'm too cold and short of the love between brother and mother."

Daqing has a rule that vassal kings are not allowed to enter Beijing without summons.

But the Empress Dowager is the birth mother of King Yan, and her 60th birthday——

"I don't really care about outsiders' opinions." Emperor Qingming said again: "However, since the emperor's father passed away, the second younger brother has not returned to Beijing for seventeen years. The empress mother knows the general situation and has never said anything, but in her heart I must miss you very much. Even I, I often dream of my second brother, why don't I want to take this opportunity to reunite with him..."

As he spoke, he looked at his younger sister who only nodded but said nothing, and said with gentle eyes and emotion: "I know, you must also miss Dingchen very much in your heart."

"Misery is unavoidable." The eldest princess said: "It's just that my sister has known since she was a child that our Xie family's man is different from other families, and there is an inescapable responsibility on his shoulders. Everything needs to be stepped back. I think the second brother must also think so."

The second brother once said that he was born with a responsibility.

It's just that I don't know if I can do my best to be willing to do this responsibility now?

"That's right, apart from father and mother, you should know him best." Emperor Qingming joked, "I remember when you were young, you were the closest to him, and you often didn't want to talk to my eldest brother, all day long Follow Dingchen with Dingjing—"

Dingjing is a word for respecting the king.

"Isn't that because my mother left too early, and my third brother and I were young, so I didn't know who was closer at that time?" The eldest princess smiled and said: "What's more, when I was young, the emperor always suspected that I didn't have a daughter. How dare I go to the emperor's face."

Emperor Qingming laughed loudly when he heard it, as if he was very happy because he talked about his childhood.

The two brothers and sisters talked a lot.

Emperor Qingming finally said: "I will think about Dingchen's return to Beijing. If possible, I'd better let him come back."

"Everything is arranged by the emperor's brother."

"Okay, it's getting late, so I won't stick to you anymore, go back."

Princess Jingrong stood up with a smile and saluted.

"Then sister will leave first."

Emperor Qingming nodded.

When the eldest princess was about to leave, she looked at Emperor Qingming again and said: "Jingrong knows that the emperor's brother is involved in political affairs, but you still have to take care of the dragon's body."

Although there are many shortcomings, but this is her real brother after all.
