Although the imperial power is weak nowadays, it does not mean that the emperor is irrelevant. Even in this era, the emperor's living etiquette was more rigorous than that of the Chinese Dynasty, including the materials and colors of the crown and beads, which were discussed by many people of etiquette all year round.

In Shen Zhezi's opinion, this is probably a bit of a thief's weakness. It is precisely because the actual authority of the king is divided that the dignity of the king must be maintained no matter what, which is also the consensus of the government and the opposition.

Therefore, although the Empress Dowager had allowed the emperor to leave the garden, Shen Zhezi still ran several palace and temple offices in Taicheng with the Empress Dowager's edict, and was reprimanded and obstructed by Yan Han and several other virtuous men who adhered to etiquette and law in the process. Fortunately, the news that Shen Yuan was going to hold a big gathering had spread, and many Taiwanese ministers were also working hard for their children to get places, and when they learned that the emperor was also going to be there, they went down privately to make it convenient.

But even so, after more than an hour, the guards finally set off to Shen Yuan to make some arrangements for vigilance in order to wait for the ceremonial ride.

But when Shen Zhezi returned to Yuancheng to pick up the emperor from the garden, the emperor was not ready to leave.

"You can't get out? Don't you even listen to the queen mother? ”

Princess Xingnan stood in front of the door of a remote side room in the palace of the Queen Mother, and shouted at the closed door, and by the way, she ordered the two female historians beside her to push the door, but the door did not move. This kid became more and more treacherous, and just now he still looked submissive, but when he reached the remote part of the palace, he suddenly burst out with a speed that was not commensurate with his size, and he did not show his head when he got into this side room.

In the room, the emperor clenched his teeth and never made a sound, not that he didn't dare to make a sound, but he had to push his body against the door, and it was inevitable that he would be deflated when he opened his mouth, and his stocky body became his reliance to save his life.

Princess Xingnan also knew that this scene was really unsightly, and the two female histories pushed the door to no avail, so she waved her hand to let everyone around her retreat, and then approached the door and whispered: "Ah Liu, there are no idlers around at the moment, you open the door, and my sister promises not to do anything to you." My brother is also getting older, and he is the emperor again, how can he play the old state for previous years. ”

The emperor hummed and panted in the room, but he didn't hear the footsteps of the people outside the room retreating, and after hearing the words, he listened to it carefully, and sure enough, there was no other sound, he first breathed a sigh of relief, and then sneered: "Sister, you know that I am old, how can I be so stupid and deceived by you as in previous years!" Speaking of which, my brother-in-law is also wise, but unfortunately because of love, I can't see how sinister you are! ”

Speaking of this, a sense of superiority in IQ arose, but even if the emperor thought that this enlightenment was the result of childhood blood and tears, not to mention that this lady never showed this in front of her husband, so he felt that this sense of superiority was really not worth boasting about.

But after saying this, the emperor heard the clear sound of silver teeth clucking outside the door, and he felt that he was really wise, and saw through the trick of this lady.

Princess Xingnan took a deep breath outside the door for a long time before she suppressed the anger in her heart, opened her mouth and tried a few times to choose a conscious and soft tone and sighed: "You said that you are old, why are you still so ignorant?" Do you think that if you hide in your room, you will not be able to leave the garden today? Your brother-in-law has returned to the country with great honor, his great achievements have been envied, and his every move has attracted the attention of everyone, and I don't know how many people want to find him wrong. This time, because of the bustling crowd and the fear of being criticized by others, I had to invite Shi Xian to a banquet in Shen Yuan, and I asked you to come out of the garden, but I also wanted you to help him share a little. ”

"The queen mother allowed you to leave the garden, and she also remembered this, and wanted you to stain the glory of your brother-in-law. The people who went to the banquet in Shen Yuan this time were all handsome and young sages from various families in Jiangdong, and they would all want to enter the court for use in the future. This is your brother-in-law helping you set up a stage, so that the sages of the world can look up to you, the young king! ”

The emperor rarely heard Princess Xingnan's serious and bitter tone, but he was stunned for a while, and then laughed again: "Sister, you don't have to lie to me anymore, I won't come out of this door today." Everyone praises my brother-in-law's great achievements this time, but I don't even know where Huainan is! Earlier, I was also curious, and I asked a few sages who taught the profession, and they all said that the king is the first to be virtuous, and it is not a blessing for the society to talk too much about the army. My brother-in-law has made great achievements in previous years, so why do you want me to share it this time? Although you are a lady with superb tricks, I am not Wuxia Ameng! ”

Princess Xingnan heard the emperor's complacent voice, and for a while she lost her mind, and then her mood turned complicated, not only a kind of helplessness of a naughty boy who could not know the personnel, but also anger at the incompetence of those ministers.

"Sister, sister, are you still there?"

The emperor was complacent about being able to use a history book example, but after a while, he didn't hear the echo of his sister outside the door, so he opened his mouth and said with a smile: "Since you are not here, then I will open the door?" ”

As he spoke, he slammed his shoulder on the door twice, and then listened intently.

"Aru ......"

"Ha, I knew you were lying to me, and you hid on the side to coax me to open the door!"

Princess Xingnan's tone was quite dignified at this time: "Ah Liu, you remember, your sister will always be your sister, even if you are beaten and scolded, it is all a joke." We, our fathers...... That's it, just remember one thing, my sister will never hurt you! ”

"Sister, what's wrong with you?"

The emperor choked up slightly when he heard his sister's tone, and for a while, his playful heart was also restrained, and his body gradually relaxed: "Are you really annoyed with me?" But, but my brother-in-law and I are really just naughty jokes, I can open the door and let you slap me twice, but you have to remember not to slap my face...... Yes! ”

The door was suddenly knocked open, and the emperor was suddenly knocked to the ground, and before he could turn over and turn his head, the old fist had already rained on his shoulders and back: "Your lady is gentle?" Your sister is unbearable? Tell me, how did you teach me fiercely in previous years? ”

Sure enough, it's still a familiar taste!

The emperor covered his face tightly with his arms, his teeth were clenched and he no longer howled as loudly as in previous years, he was also at the age of marriage, and he already knew what shame was. It is quite embarrassing to be taught by my sister, and after being taught a lesson, she shouts out to attract onlookers, which is a shame to add a sentence of shamelessness.

————————

It wasn't until dusk that the emperor finished packing up, and the ceremonial driver slowly left the city. Along the way, there were already guards to clear the streets, and they went all the way to Shen Garden. In fact, this is also one of the reasons why the emperor is not willing to leave the garden city, in previous years, he could still quietly come out to play, but as he gets older, the momentum of each time he goes out of the garden, the more powerful he is, except for the people in the front and back palaces, it is a strict queue of guards, and he can't feel the prosperity of Jiankang City at all.

If he just watched this, he might as well stay in Yuancheng and take some time to delve into the new flavors of food. After all, as he gets older, the pressure of schoolwork increases, and the number of tutors has increased from two or three to seven or eight, and his leisure time is getting less and less. So that these few have not developed a new product recently, and he also plans to let the new little lady see his unusual skills after the wedding, and by the way, the lady's heart is sweetened, and it is as gentle and sweet as the sister in front of her brother-in-law.

As soon as she thought of her sister, the emperor's body writhed uncomfortably under her robe, and this lady's fist was even stronger, could it be that she went to Huainan this time to practice some fighting skills?

By the time the Yiqi arrived at Shen Garden, night had completely fallen, but the surroundings of Shen Garden were still full of fire, like day.

It's really a blazing fire!

The emperor looked up on the chariot, and saw that the tall building lights were distributed layer by layer, until they reached the top floor, and for a time it was really like a beautiful Qionglou where the sky had landed on the mortal dust! Seeing such a beautiful scene, the pain after the emperor was beaten was not so violent, and his heart was already eager to try, wanting to climb to the top floor of the Star Picking Tower to see what a magnificent picture it was to overlook Jiankang City at night!

At this time, outside Shen Yuan, there were already a group of children of the family who had arrived here first, and they bowed and greeted them, and they couldn't tell how many people there were. waited until the attendant next to him reminded him that the emperor nodded and motioned for the attendant to step forward to answer. Then the crowd of people who greeted the car separated from the two sides, and the emperor slowly marched into the Shen Garden and arrived at the Star Picking Tower.

"Today, Your Majesty is full of age, and he can be in front of the crowd without timidity, and his demeanor is quiet, which is really good!"

There were many people present who met the emperor for the first time, and seeing that although the emperor was not very old, he was able to move appropriately and behave generously and decently in such a noisy occasion, and he couldn't help but praise him.

If the emperor hears these praises, he can't help but be proud, and he also has to laugh at these people for making a fuss, he came to the court when he was young, if he can't practice this kind of skill that no one in his eyes is, then how can he sit down in every boring court discussion? It's a pity that the skills of no one in his eyes are too high, and by the way, even the sound is blocked, which is less fun.

The Star Picking Tower is divided into twelve floors, to be honest, Shen Zhezi really plans to open the top floor directly today, so that the emperor can open his eyes. It's a pity that before leaving the garden, the queen mother, including the Taifu, all told her that the night wind was cold, and the emperor was not allowed to look at it from afar, so she could only put the emperor's honor on the ninth floor.

When he was ascending the tower, the emperor learned of this arrangement from the mouth of his chamberlain, and he was not pleased. Taking advantage of the difficulty of climbing the stairs to pull Shen Zhezi to his side, he said with a bitter face: "Brother-in-law, you are not in the capital these days, do you know how much I miss you?" It's hard to get out of the garden this time, you can't do this to me! Just now, your lady has abused me for a long time, and you say that I am really not her opponent? It's just a little indulgence of her for the sake of your face! ”

As he spoke, the emperor took advantage of the fact that no one else was paying attention, rolled up the sleeves of his robe and showed his arm to Shen Zhezi. Shen Zhezi hurriedly glanced at it, and immediately felt that the emperor was really giving face this time.

However, for the emperor's request, he really has no way, there are too many people today, it is difficult for him to lead the emperor to the top floor to take a look, he can only whisper: "Your Majesty is still a little patient, this building is always there, the next day will definitely fulfill the long-cherished wish, tonight is too much inconvenience." ”

"Alas, brother-in-law, you are really, the older you get, the less courageous you are in previous years, and you are much worse than your cranes. The queen mother has never allowed me to contaminate my cooking skills, and it is usually your family Ah He who helps me bring it into the garden privately. ”

When the emperor heard this, he sighed with disappointment on his face, and made no secret of his contempt for Shen Zhezi: "By the way, go home and tell your lady, she is not as gentle as my little lady Jiang!" ”

The corners of Shen Zhezi's mouth trembled after hearing this, and he couldn't understand the inner thoughts of these children of Liang who had no worries about food and clothing, and no, isn't it good to live well? Since they all have this kind of enthusiasm for death, Shen Zhezi also decided that he couldn't let the emperor defend alone, and later brought Shen Jin to let them sympathize with each other!
