Seize My Boyfriend - B27 (17)
“I’m just worried about your health.”
At this time, Huai Qiubai’s whole body was trembling, because he was so excited to be recovered, and also because he didn’t have to watch the little emperor suffer. Everyone was really happy that the poison didn’t bite.
“With the master here, how could something happen to the slave’s health?” Mo Zhiyang was completely dependent on him.
Huai Qiubai hugged the little emperor. All the fears he had felt in the past few days were gone, and his heart felt relaxed. “As long as it’s okay, it’ll be okay.” Looking at the innocent
face of the little emperor, Huai Qiubai felt sincere. I couldn’t bear to tell him what happened these days, and I didn’t want to frighten him, so just forget it, “As long as you are well, slave.” ”
Yes.”
In February, the little emperor celebrated his birthday, and he is now eighteen. , how can an emperor reach the age of eighteen and still have an empty harem? Therefore, according to the ancestral system, the Ministry of Rites usually selects girls of suitable age from the homes of the third-rank officials, and sends about five to the harem.
One year later, based on whether the five concubines have given birth, how favored they are, and their family background, they will establish queens and royal concubines. When the legitimate son of the middle palace is born, it will be fine and the draft can begin.
Therefore, when Mo Zhiyang heard in the court that women of suitable age would be selected to enter the palace, he was startled, “What?” and almost fell off the throne.
“Your Majesty, according to the ancestral system, your Majesty must first give birth to the legitimate son of the middle palace, and then start the draft. This is the list submitted by the Ministry of Rites. Your Majesty only needs to select five.” Mo Zhiyang took the memorial handed over by Xiao Yu and said
, When I opened it, I saw that it was indeed the name of Yishui’s beautiful sister, and suddenly I had a headache.
“This?”
After closing the memorial, Mo Zhiyang was distressed: If Lao Sepi could give birth to me, I would make him his queen, but he can’t, and these ministers want their eldest son.
While Xiao Bailian was struggling, a sharp gaze kept wandering on her body. When she looked up, it turned out to be Lao Sepi, Gan!
He might be angry to death, but there’s nothing I can do about it.
“Minister of the Ministry of Rites.” Huai Qiubai clasped his hands behind his back, “Your Majesty has just turned eighteen, so I’m afraid it would be inappropriate to rush to establish a queen.”
This idea is unlikely to be proposed by the Ministry of Rites. It should be the King of Qi who instigates it behind the scenes. Big courage.
“The late emperor gave birth to his eldest son before he was sixteen. Now the royal family is very thin, including His Majesty and Prince Qi. Spreading branches and leaves for the royal family is not only a family matter for His Majesty, but also a state affair. It should not be neglected.” The Minister of Rites insisted
. , and everything he said was in agreement with the ancestral rules and could not be refuted.
Mo Zhiyang said nothing and looked at Lao Sepi, planning to leave this mess to him.
“That being the case, then…” Before
Huai Qiubai could finish what he said, King Qi suddenly jumped out, “Your Majesty, I feel that Your Majesty has just reached the crown, why not add two men of the right age to these five. , it is best to learn and be rich, so that you can also teach His Majesty’s studies.”
Male concubines are normal, there will be more or less close male concubines in the emperor’s harem, they are not only concubines, but also assist His Majesty.
When it comes to women, Huai Qiubai can tolerate it, but when it comes to men, his face turns cold, “Really?
” I’m afraid it’s hard to find a man.
“I don’t think there is any need for male concubines.” Huai Qiubai waved his hand, “Your Majesty now has a full harem, and it is important to have heirs, but male concubines are not necessary.” The Minister of Rites did not refute this
.
“Let’s settle on a male concubine.” King Qi refused to give up. He was determined to put his own people around the little emperor. How dare Qiu Bai blatantly touch his concubine?
Hearing this, Huai Qiubai also took a step back, “That’s fine.”
But at this time, Mo Zhiyang had already begun to predict that after going back, this damn old pervert would be angry with him. Damn, this person is really troublesome.
This concubine was obviously suggested by someone else, but I still have to take the blame myself. No, the blame has to be shouldered by the old woman. I have to throw the blame away.
So, Mo Zhiyang glared at Lao Sepi with tearful eyes, and then lowered his head.
The matter of the concubine was settled, and the next step was to leave it to the Ministry of Rites. Mo Zhiyang sat on the sedan chair, wiping his tears secretly, as if he had been wronged a lot.
As soon as I returned to the palace, I found a place to wipe my tears silently. I also ate a large bowl of fermented glutinous rice, a plate of jujube paste and yam cake, and a large plate of steamed buns.
When Huai Qiubai came back, he saw the little emperor’s round belly wiping tears. He walked over with a cold face and said, “Why, your majesty is not happy? You have three thousand beauties in the harem. Are you still not happy?
” ? Yo yo yo, I will too.
“Yes, the happiest person should be the master. If there are so many people around, the slave will not bother the master anymore!” Mo Zhiyang was also angry, so he simply sat sideways and leaned on his favorite window.
This slave still dared to be angry. Huai Qiubai walked over and lifted the little emperor’s chin, “You are so brave. You dare to speak to your master like this.” ”
Humph!” Mo Zhiyang also lost his temper.
“Speak!” This humming brought out the evil fire in Huai Qiubai. He was originally unhappy in the court in the morning, but the little emperor dared to make himself unhappy.
Narrowing his eyes, he grabbed his neck and said, “Say!”
“If the master doesn’t want the slave, then he doesn’t want the slave. Why should he leave the slave to others?” Mo Zhiyang didn’t struggle and looked with wet eyes. Looking at him.
Forcibly, Huai Qiubai’s heart softened, and Ji’er’s heart softened.
“The master doesn’t want the slave, what else can the slave do? What can the slave do?” Mo Zhiyang cried, and a drop of clear tears fell down, hitting Lao Sepi’s hand.
He was still angry at first, but now Huai Qiubai couldn’t bear it anymore and let go of his hand, “So, slave, you think I don’t want you anymore?”
“What else?” Mo Zhiyang was angry, but he didn’t dare to say anything. “If the master doesn’t like the slave, just throw the slave away. The slave will leave.” “Who told you to leave?” Huai Qiubai finally said
. He still let go of his hand and said, “Having a concubine is an ancestral tradition, and I won’t stop you.” Especially the male concubine, he was already thinking of a way.
It’s just that King Qi is desperately trying to get one of his people in. If he lets his people say a few words in front of the little emperor, there’s no telling what will happen.
“Then the master will not want the slave?” Mo Zhiyang pulled the corner of his clothes pitifully, as if he was the only one he could rely on in his eyes.
At this time, Huai Qiubai still had the heart to blame him, “I won’t abandon you.” ”
That’s good.” Mo Zhiyang opened his arms and hugged his master’s waist, rubbing gently, “Master, there is no master slave.” I don’t even know what to do.”
“Yeah.”
Things in the Ministry of Rites are still going on, but in the Prime Minister’s Mansion, several people were quarreling.
“Prime Minister Huai, this is inappropriate!” King Qi is considered a member of the royal family. He is naturally involved in the selection of the young emperor’s concubine, so he dares to shout here.
The Minister of Rites did not dare to speak. He just sat on the chair next to him and drank tea. He quietly watched the two quarrels and waited for them to come up with the reason for the quarrel. Then he just did as he was told.
“What’s wrong?” Huai Qiubai threw the list in his hand, “It’s wrong to just mention which one?”
“It’s wrong for Prime Minister Huai himself!” This was something King Qi didn’t expect. Huai Qiubai actually mentioned himself Added to the list, this is really a big face.
Huai Qiu Bai Youyou picked up the tea cup and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Prime Minister Huai is the prime minister of this dynasty and has a high status. This is inappropriate.” It was so shameless. King Qi never expected that he would do this. The little emperor did this kind of thing.
King Qi threw the list back, “That’s inappropriate.”
“I want to know what’s wrong.” Huaiqiu Bai took a sip of Maojian and thought it was good. “Is it that I’m not knowledgeable enough or that my family background isn’t prominent enough? Or is my appearance not decent enough? Who did I lose to on this list?”
“The prime minister is the prime minister of the current dynasty, and he has no knowledge or appearance.” King Qi was blocked and said nothing, “But if it doesn’t work, it won’t work.” Huai Qiubai: “When the late emperor died, he
asked the prime minister to assist the young emperor well. , at this time, I also feel that it is my duty to enter the palace, so it is really appropriate for me to enter the palace, so appropriate.”
Speaking of this, King Qi suddenly thought of something, “It is inappropriate in this matter. When the late emperor passed away, he asked His Majesty to How can you call Prime Minister Huai Yafu to enter the palace as a male concubine?”
At this time, Huai Qiubai was blocked from saying anything and clenched his fists.
“So, Prime Minister Huai can be regarded as your Majesty’s father-in-law, so how can he enter the palace and become his concubine? Moreover, your Majesty is now an adult, so naturally he should choose it himself.” After saying this, King Qi took out the preparations he had already prepared from his sleeve
. A good list, “This is the prince’s favorite princes from aristocratic families. Prime Minister Huai can choose one of them to come to the palace to accompany him to study and practice riding and shooting.” Because of
Huai Qiubai’s secret obstruction, the little emperor was raised and abandoned since he was a child. As for now, I only know a few characters, but I don’t know anything about cavalry, archery, warfare, or the emperor’s way.
Huai Qiubai was furious. He didn’t expect that he would be put in trouble by King Qi because of this title. It seemed that both of them knew very well that they had already broken up since that time.
“The truth seems to be good.” Huai Qiubai took the list, “Then let the truth be taken into the palace and presented to His Majesty, so that His Majesty can choose the one he likes personally.” “That’s fine. As a member of the royal family,
I Naturally, the clan members have to think about His Majesty.” King Qi regained the victory and gained some momentum in front of him.
Mo Zhiyang really missed Lao Sepi after not seeing him all day, but when she saw him again at night, Xiao Bailian suddenly didn’t.
“Master. What’s wrong with you?” He looked like he was going to eat someone. It was so scary, and Mo Zhiyang was a little scared.
“I came here to show you something.” Huai Qiubai took out a memorial wrapped in red silk from his sleeve, “Slave, don’t you want to see it?” “What is this?” Mo Mo said
now
. Zhiyang was a little timid, because looking at Lao Sepi’s expression, no matter what was inside, it was something terrifying. He took the memorial and opened it, and it turned out to be a list of candidates for entering the palace, “I don’t understand this, slave.” “Come, Master
. Tell this slave.”
Huai Qiubai sneered and took the little emperor slowly to the bed. “The King of Qi has chosen a lot of outstanding men with innocent family backgrounds, and asked Yafu to explain their appearance and conduct to His Majesty. .”
At this time, Mo Zhiyang was very panicked. Lao Sepi looked like he was either going to die or I would die. He couldn’t help holding his waist, “Master?” ”
This is the youngest son of Yongjing Marquis. He is nineteen years old. .”
“Master, please be gentle~~”
