Your Majesty is happy [rebirth]

Chapter 36

When the weather was hottest in May, the little mantou who was only seven months old was able to crawl all over the ground flexibly when he wore less clothes. , Ling Qiyou let him go again, the nanny and eunuch could only run behind him, watching carefully, for fear that he would bump into a bump, and they would not be able to afford it.

Everyone knows that since His Highness the Crown Prince was kidnapped once, His Majesty, who didn't care much about him at first, has changed his attitude. Now, as long as he is not dealing with political affairs, His Majesty spends almost all his time on this little prince. On the guy, the hand-in-hand upbringing is almost non-existent, and only when facing the little prince, His Majesty will show that kind of brilliant and dazzling smile on his face.

In fact, Ling Qiyou looks very nice when he smiles, but there are not many people who can see that he is not a formulaic perfunctory smile. When he was with Xiao Chuqian before, Xiao Chuqian would often amuse him in different ways, even if sometimes it was just In order to cooperate with Xiao Chuqian and please him, counting the times when he smiled until his brows and eyes were crooked, there were many more times than now.

Fortunately, there is still a little steamed bun now. Seeing that His Majesty opened his heart and accepted the little prince, his brows and eyes are finally not as cold as before. In fact, everyone in Zhaode Palace feels a sense of relief.

Ling Qiyou sat in front of the imperial case and read the military report submitted by Xiao Chuqian. In the past four months, almost every ten days, such a memorial would be delivered to his desk case in Zhaode Hall. Xiao Chuqian would write down the situation one by one in the memorial, or report it, or ask for instructions, and dutifully fulfilled his duty as a courtier.

Because of the large number of rebels and the need to take other civilians into consideration, they cannot be suppressed completely violently. In addition, the terrain and mountains in Lingbei are complex. Even though it is just to suppress bandits, it is no different from a tough battle, just as Ling Qiyou expected. Fortunately, Xiao Chuqian said in the memorial that he and King Xuan's Jiangdong soldiers had already gained the upper hand, and it was just around the corner to take down all the rebel mobs.

"Da da……"

Hearing the call, Ling Qiyou lowered his head, Xiao Mantou had already crawled from the dormitory to the side hall where he handled political affairs, and now he was at his feet, holding the hem of his clothes with both hands, trying to raise his head, his pair of shining eyes She looked at him with her eyes, and when Ling Qiyou looked down at him, she grinned and smiled.

Ling Qiyou also laughed, put down the booklet, bent down and picked him up, let the little guy sit on his body, lowered his head and kissed him, the little mantou patted the table twice with both hands to reach the booklet presented by Xiao Chuqian, Ling Qiyou also let him watch, anyway, he was too weak to tear it off.

The nanny at the side pleaded guilty in a low voice, saying that she didn't take good care of the prince and disturbed His Majesty, Ling Qiyou said indifferently: "It's okay, go and prepare some food for the prince."

Xiao Mantou was very curious about the things on the imperial case in front of Ling Qiyou, and stretched out both hands, grabbing those who touched this, Ling Qiyou didn't stop him, only put the things that would hurt him far away, and everything else was ignored. Let him play.

The clown poked his head out at the entrance of the hall and looked inside. Seeing Ling Qiyou's smile, he guessed that he must be in a good mood today, so he went in and handed him the letter in his hand: " Your Majesty, it is Xiao... General Chu's letter to you."

Ling Qiyou took it calmly, and the clown secretly heaved a sigh of relief, fortunately he was not angry.

In addition to the military memorial, Xiao Chuqian would send another private letter back to Ling Qiyou every half a month. The letter would either talk about new and strange things he saw outside, or some nasty sweet talk, completely talking to himself, Ling Qiyou basically just glanced at it and threw it into the brazier. Naturally, he never wrote back to him.

"and this."

The eunuch who came in with the clown bent down and presented the tray in his hand to Ling Qiyou. There were two things on it. One was a complete sable skin that he had hunted by himself for Ling Qiyou, and the other was for Ling Qiyou. A piece of warm jade for a small steamed bun.

In the letter just now, Xiao Chuqian had already mentioned the two things he gave them, Ling Qiyou slightly raised his chin, and signaled the little eunuch to put it aside, the clown smiled and said: "Your Majesty, this little Chuzi is quite caring." , I didn’t forget to give you a gift when I went out to fight.”

"I sent him out to suppress bandits, but he still has the mood to go hunting." Ling Qiyou was quite dismissive of this matter.

"..." The clown sighed secretly, Eunuch Chu's thought was in vain again.

The little steamed bun in Ling Qiyou's arms lit up when he saw the thing that was given to him. He struggled to get up and reached out to reach for it. The shaped warm jade was handed over to him, and the little mantou was holding it with both hands, and he was overjoyed, screaming "da da", the clown said happily: "His Royal Highness seems to like this thing very much..."

Ling Qiyou pouted slightly, Xiao Mantou's natural closeness to Xiao Chuqian was what made him most uncomfortable.

After being interrupted like this, Ling Qiyou lost the mood to deal with government affairs. He picked up his son and went back to the bedroom. He fed Xiao Mantou some food and played with him for a while. A eunuch came in to report that the queen mother was late. .

Ling Qiyou was a little surprised. Empress Dowager Xu has been a little delirious and her body is not in the best shape. She almost stays at the Palace of Yongshou. Ling Qiyou will take a small steamed bun to the Palace of Yongshou every day on weekdays before evening. To see her and have dinner with her, this is the first time that the Queen Mother has come to Zhaode Hall by herself.

Ling Qiyou asked the nanny to pick up the little steamed bun, and quickly greeted her. Empress Dowager Xu had already walked to the gate of the palace, holding a white cat she raised in her hand, and the maid who followed behind took the initiative to explain to Ling Qiyou: "The Queen Mother Just now when I was visiting the garden, I suddenly mentioned Your Majesty, and the servants said that the Zhaode Palace is just ahead, so the Queen Mother persisted."

Ling Qiyou nodded and didn't ask any further questions. He walked over and held Empress Dowager Xu's arm, helped her into the hall, and complained in a low voice: "The empress wants to see Erchen, so send someone to follow her." Let me just let me go to Yongshou Hall, why did you come here by yourself?"

"I'm not tired," Empress Dowager Xu muttered childishly, her gaze fell on the little steamed bun in the nurse's hand, and the little steamed bun made a "da" sound and opened its hand towards the queen mother.

So Empress Dowager Xu also laughed, put down the cat, walked over and hugged him, lowered her head and rubbed Xiao Mantou's face: "Rui'er..."

Only the Empress Dowager Xu can call Xiao Mantou’s name, and everyone else calls him Your Highness. As for Ling Qiyou himself, seeing his mother holding Xiao Mantou and his grandfather and grandson with the same smiles, he remembered Xiao Chuqian’s words in the letter: " "Little Mantou", he realized that he was actually led away by Xiao Chuqian, and he kept calling this nickname that he couldn't get on the stage.

And obviously, Xiao Mantou's most own name is the word "Little Mantou" who reacts more, as soon as he hears it, he responds with "da da", while the "Rui'er" in the Queen Mother's mouth obviously doesn't know that it is Call him, just giggle.

Looking at Xiao Mantou's silly look, Ling Qiyou was helpless and at the same time felt a little funny, that's all, Xiao Mantou is just Xiao Mantou, anyway, there are not many people in the world who can call him that.

Empress Dowager Xu didn't stay long in Zhaode Hall, she hugged the little steamed bun and played with the kitten for a while, Ling Qiyou saw that she looked tired, so she ordered someone to send her back to Yongshou Hall.

Little Mantou was also tired, and fell asleep after Empress Dowager Xu left, Ling Qiyou put him back in the cradle, and went back to the side hall to continue dealing with political affairs.But within a quarter of an hour, someone came to report in a hurry, saying that the Empress Dowager insisted on entering the Qitai Palace, and they couldn't stop it.

Ling Qiyou was surprised and said: "Qitai Hall? What does the Queen Mother go to Qitai Hall?"

"The servants sent the queen mother back and passed by the Qitai hall. The cat raised by the queen mother ran into the Qitai hall. The queen mother insisted on going in to find it. The servants said that the servants should help find it. The queen mother refused and insisted on going in. The servants can't stop it, Your Majesty, you should go and have a look."

Everyone around Ling Qiyou knew that Shen Lexin, who Ling Qiyou didn't allow anyone to approach, was imprisoned in the Qitai Palace. Now that the Queen Mother suddenly entered that place, they dared not hide it, so they rushed to report.

Ling Qiyou didn't even think about it, and went out to Qitai Hall.

At this moment, Empress Dowager Xu has already walked in to the gate of the side hall where Shen Lexin was imprisoned. The eunuchs and maids following behind her were all persuading her to go back, but Empress Dowager Xu refused to listen and insisted on going in. The eunuch guarding the gate was also very embarrassed and said yes Your Majesty will not let anyone in.

Empress Dowager Xu insisted: "My cat is inside, I want to go in and find the cat."

The two eunuchs guarding the door looked at each other, hesitated for a while, whether they dared not listen to the Queen Mother, stepped aside, and Queen Xu pushed the door and went in.

Shen Lexin, who was shackled by the neck and feet, was sitting against the wall. Hearing the sound, he slowly raised his head. When he saw the person who came in, a look of astonishment flashed in his eyes. Empress Dowager Xu also froze, staring at him After a long while, she just walked towards him step by step.

The people behind were persuading her not to go there, but Empress Dowager Xu didn't seem to hear it at all. The whole person seemed to have lost her soul, and she only looked at Shen Lexin for a moment.

Shen Le regained his composure, and had already struggled to stand up, the shackles made a heavy blunt sound, he looked coldly at the person walking towards him, his eyes were already soaked with deep-seated hatred.

Ling Qiyou was almost running to the Qitai Palace. All the way along the way, his heart was inexplicably full of bad premonitions, and he kept speeding up his pace. When he appeared panting outside the gate of the palace where Shen Lexin was imprisoned, what he saw was The scene where Shen Lexin suddenly grabbed the porcelain shards in his palm and stabbed at Empress Dowager Xu.

Ling Qiyou's eyes widened in shock, but it was too late to watch, while Empress Dowager Xu didn't react at all, she just stared blankly at Shen Lexin without dodging at all, fortunately, the maid beside her had sharp eyes and quick hands, and rushed to block it. Stopped, the tile scratched hard on her arm.

The sudden change shocked everyone in the room, and when everyone came back to their senses, Shen Lexin had already been knelt down to the ground by several eunuchs, Ling Qiyou strode over, and raised his hand to slap him. past.

Empress Dowager Xu suddenly screamed, "Don't—!"

Shi Potian's astonishing cry made Ling Qiyou stop his hands in shock, and turned his head away in astonishment, only to see Empress Dowager Xu with red eyes and tears streaming down her face, staring at Shen Lexin in a daze, and kept murmuring: "Are you Isn't it Minxi? Minxi...Minxi...are you back..."

And Shen Lexin, who hated Empress Dowager Xu, laughed maniacally, her eyes were so red that she could almost bleed: "He is dead! He died 15 years ago! He was killed by you! How did he die?" May come back!"

Shocked, Ling Qiyou suddenly remembered, Yuwen Minxi!It was the great prince of the Nanman Kingdom who was sent as a hostage and died in the Dacheng Dynasty 15 years ago!
