Chapter 149
Aimi fell on top of Xian Yang and collapsed into the couch. The two kissed each other until they were a little breathless. Luminous beads rolled on the pillow, illuminating their eyes.
“Give me two years.” Zhou Xian Yang’s eyes were tinged with desire, and his voice was tainted with unrestrained emotion. Rong Xiangxian gave a soft hmmm, kissed the tip of his nose, and reached into his collar with his right hand, unraveling it one by one and going all the way down.
Zhou Xian Yang incredibly looked at the princess, she frankly and openly looked back into the bottom of his eyes, that pair of eyes through the spirit of the fresh and clean flavor.
Her left hand suddenly came up to cover his eyes: “Don’t look.” Zhou Xianyang didn’t move and let him go.
Zhou Xianyang let her cover his eyes without moving, knowing that she was frank but shy.
The fact that he couldn’t see didn’t stop his body from enjoying itself. On the contrary, in the chaos of the world, he felt that his life and soul were in the hands of the princess.
Zhou Xianyang gradually lost control of himself. He pressed his arms around Xiangmian’s undershirt, making her soft body snuggle up to his own, and then reached down with one hand.
The two of them embraced, trembling and kissing, until they helped each other release their long pent-up love.
Afterward, Zhou Xian Yang carried the princess to the purification room, cleaned up all the stickiness, then picked her up and returned to the bed, he used the back of his hand to wipe away the sweat on the corner of the princess’s forehead, and kissed her forehead incomparably and preciously, “Many thanks.”
The corners of Xiangmian’s mouth hooked into a contented smile, burying her head into his arms, wrapping her arms around his lean waist, and closing her eyes.
Zhou Xian Yang thought to himself, “He also really doesn’t understand Wangfei.
He rubbed her chin, hooked up and pecked her lips again, entangled them delicately for a while, stopping when he could, and put on his own bedclothes. Wangfei shrunk in his arms, a soft and warm mass, if he did not wear some, he really worried that he could not hold it again at night.
This is not a long-term solution. Stroking Wangfei’s back, his hand gave a beat.
“What’s wrong?” The person in his arms raised her head and asked against his lips.
“You said, is there any medicine to avoid having a pregnancy that I can also take?”
“Huh?” Sagami held his face in a hug, “Do you have any idea what you’re talking about?”
“I know, Aimi. Why is it that all child-avoidance soup is for women? Can’t those imperial doctors prescribe medicine for men?”
Xiangmian thought for a moment, “Then why don’t you ask Imperial Doctor Sun, or Shen Che, to inquire about it?”
The Emperor’s Longevity Festival was quickly approaching.
Zhou Xian Yang went to the palace with Xiangmian early in the morning to celebrate the birthday.
Although the Empress was reprimanded in Ci Ning Palace, she was able to persuade the Emperor to let King Li and his wife out of the house and into the palace.
Having not seen them for many days, King Li had lost a lot of weight. Princess Li looked at Rong Xiangmian indifferently and no longer spoke sarcastically to her as usual.
The two of them went to Fu Ning Palace together again to congratulate Empress Hui Gui Fei.
The Emperor had just revealed the good news that the Northern True Kingdom had reported by express horseback that the Sixth Princess had given birth to a young prince on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Consort Hui was so happy that she couldn’t close her mouth, pulling Xiang Xiang to laugh, “You just happened to say something the other night, and actually answered it! This is a good omen!”
Xiangmian smiled, of course she already knew the name of the child’s birthday.
Yang Zhou Xian, however, couldn’t help but sigh, “I told my brother-in-law that you were a half-immortal, and I was really right.”
The emperor’s rewards were sent to Fu Ning Palace early in the morning, ready to be given to the princess and her little grandson when she visits her family in the future.
Having not seen his sixth sister for a long time, Zhou Xian Yang felt magical just thinking that she would return with a child.
Of course, Princess Hui had to nag her again: “When are you two going to have a child? They’ll be companions by then.”
The two looked at each other and smiled, not arguing much.
The house of princes, dukes and marquises, civil and military officials to wish the emperor a birthday, lively all day.
At night, the Daming Palace held a birthday banquet, and the royal family congratulated them.
King Li and his wife did not have the usual vigor, just deal with the scene.
Instead, King Qing and his wife are very active.
King Kai has been searching for the Taihu Lake stone for half a year, and finally arrived in Jinling.
Although it was nice, but the seventh royal uncle had received the gift long ago, the emperor was lack of interest.
The Seventh Imperial Uncle immediately came out to solve the problem, saying that this stone was much bigger and more delicate than the one he received last year.
Only then did the emperor’s face look better.
And King Qing couple offered a pair of rare peacock gold plume cloak, said the new tribute to the territories, in the Daming Palace room full of palace lights shining golden, gorgeous. Finally coaxed the emperor’s heart.
The emperor immediately said, so good-looking things must be matched with the beauty, were rewarded to the empress and imperial concubine.
Banquet on the Empress Zhang has not been high interest, suddenly got such a good thing, they rose to thank: “Thank you for your Majesty’s reward. It’s just that my concubine has no talent and no virtue, so I don’t deserve to wear such a good thing. Since it’s from King Qing, why don’t you give it all to Imperial Concubine.”
The emperor took her hand, “The empress is beautiful and most deserving of this cloak.”
“My concubine is already in her thirties, how can I afford the word beauty?”
“A beautiful person, regardless of age. And the Empress is getting older, so she has more charm.”
Zhou Xian Yang looked at the scene of the emperor and queen’s love from afar with no expression on his face, and then glanced at King Qing.
The chill in his eyes was almost dripping out.
The empress and empress were talking to each other, making love with his birthday gift, while his mother consort was sitting alone, which was particularly awkward.
After the Empress gave her thanks, the Imperial Concubine immediately bowed and stated: “This pair of cloaks is offered to His Majesty by King Qing. His Majesty and the Empress are very much in love with each other, and when the weather gets cold, wearing this pair of peacock gold plume cloaks to receive the ministers of the Imperial Household, I think it will be a sensation, and will be passed down as a good story.”
The Emperor hmmm’d, “Your Imperial Highness has considered it well.”
The Empress smiled brightly and swept a glance at the princes, “King Qing doesn’t mind, does he?”
King Qing’s face was already filled with smiles, “Your Imperial Highness and my son have thought of the same thing. It’s decent of my son that father and mother are willing to show their faces. Sending a pair of cloaks was originally meant to do the same.”
“Hmm, very good.” The emperor drank King Qing’s wine with satisfaction.
Next was King Li. The gift was an extremely rare nine-layer ivory cloud dragon pattern set of balls. The surface is carved with nine dragons shuttling auspicious cloud patterns, and the interior is hollowed out and carved with pavilions, figures, landscapes, and each layer can be rotated flexibly, totaling nine layers, exquisite.
All the seats are marveled, the emperor also liked. Seeing that his father did not prohibit him from attending the festival because of the previous day’s incident, and even gladly accepted the birthday gift, King Li and his wife finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Yang Xian and Xiangmian presented a statue of Buddha to the Emperor, who was very interested.
The emperor was very interested, called a dozen palace people lifted to the front to look carefully, constantly marveled: “this Sakyamuni, with a smile, eyes deep and serene, holiness in a little human nature, the country dynasty now rare style, look at this look, I think it must be not a short period of years.”
The Empress Dowager has been saluting Buddha for many years, and she likes it even more, “This Buddha’s light is filled with flying sky-like singing, dancing, and music, which is really unheard of.”
Xian Yang immediately said, “Father and Empress Dowager are truly connoisseurs. This is a local Buddha statue from Qinzhou, hundreds of years old.”
The emperor nodded his head and ordered the statue to be sent to the Hall of a Thousand Buddhas to be properly placed.
King Qing suddenly spoke out, “Fourth brother, this gift of yours compares to all of ours!”
Xian Yang laughed and said, “This was sent to the capital by the governor of Qinzhou, I’m just lending it to the Buddha.”
“Fourth brother, Western Qin people also worship Buddha?” King Yun’s curiosity rose, “I’ve always thought that the Western Qin people have very different customs from the state dynasty.”
“West Qin was originally a Han family land a hundred years ago, only to be cut off due to war and division. All the customs that should be present in the National Dynasty are naturally present. And there are also more exotic flavors. Shen Zhizhu in the local stumble upon a temple, due to age and dilapidation, but this one Buddha statue intact. Lord Shen felt that it was spiritual, so he sent it into the capital and gave it to me for placement.”
The emperor laughed, “This thing even has such a great origin. Since it is something Qinzhou offered to you and you gave it to me, wouldn’t you be letting him down?”
“Everything in Qinzhou is naturally Father’s. It’s just that Qinzhou is remote and backward, unlike other places that are affluent, and there are really very few things that can fall into Father’s eyes. After thinking about it, my son only has this Buddha statue that is slightly honorable, so I hope that Father Emperor will bear with me.”
“Well, I understand your filial piety. Qinzhou has just been established, and is waiting for new things to happen, so all local labor and taxes should be reduced for three years first.”
Zhou Xian Yang immediately thanked the Emperor, “My son thanks Father for the people of Qinzhou.”
King Kai put down his wine glass and laughed, “Fourth brother is really good at what he does, a Buddha statue made Father so happy, and also reduced the tax burden of Qinzhou. I’m sure the people of Qinzhou must be grateful to you and worship you as a bright lord.”
This was a revealing statement, and Zhou Xian Yang replied back, “The one who reduced or waived taxes is Father Emperor, and the one the people of Qinzhou must be grateful to is naturally the Ming Lord.”
Before he could finish, the emperor asked King Kai, “Why don’t you switch fiefdoms with Xian Yang, giving him Huzhou and giving you all the good jobs and reputation of Qinzhou?”
King Kai was not willing to do so, and immediately changed color and said, “I wouldn’t dare.”
King Yun smiled and rounded off the conversation, “Fourth brother, you gave such a good birthday gift, telling me to make it difficult.”
King Yun and his wife then got up, King Yun personally took the unfolded portrait and walked to the emperor, “This is what my son spent a full year painting, father don’t dislike it.”
The emperor looked at the portrait of himself playing a game in the forest and stroked his whiskers and laughed.
The empress dowager joked from the side: “The painting is really good, this look is alive and well, just where is the emperor so white?”
“Mother’s skin is more than snow, why don’t you pass it on to your son?”
“The emperor is too much like the previous emperor, look at your sister, skin is like mourning.”
Rapunzel laughed, “Daughter is like mother, son is like father, this is what mother empress will give birth to.”
The Empress Dowager looked at the hall full of children and grandchildren with a loving face, and the Emperor also said to Yun Wang, “You are all very attentive. I am more than happy with your filial piety, so how could I treat you differently in terms of seniority? Seeing each of you have a family, and your hands and feet are in harmony, is the most pleasing thing for the Empress Dowager and me.”
Speaking of this topic, King Li and his wife immediately hung their heads down.
All of them said, “I respectfully follow Father’s teachings.”
After the birthday gifts were offered, the song and dance performances began, and the birthday banquet came alive.
During the banquet, King Kai suddenly gave King Yu a toast, “Fourth brother has worked hard these days. He has been traveling for many days, but fortunately, he is able to catch up with his father’s birthday festival, or else his grandmother and father would not be as happy as they are today.”
These words were said as if they were good words, but they did not sound good at all.
The empress dowager’s face is not good, as if the emperor just said the words were the king of qi as a gust of wind, left ear into the right ear out.
The emperor on this imperial eldest son is also hate steel, in front of the face of all the royal family, the great day also do not want to blame him.
King Qing took over the words, also toasted Yu Wang a cup: “The fourth brother can conquer the war, flooding is also well managed, Qinzhou so treacherous place, only the fourth brother can take over this mess. I didn’t expect, even the examination matter, also did so well. In the future, if this group of readers in Yuzhou enter the civil service, they will all be very grateful to Fourth Brother.”
Zhou Xian Yang finished his glass and laughed, “Your brother is not being generous, but I had the opportunity to go out because my father had the intention of practicing. Second brother was even busier and harder in the imperial court selecting the wise and capable for Father Emperor.” After saying that, he poured another cup of wine, back to the toast, “A short time from the capital, second brother has been crowned with the seven jeweled crown, is really a great joy. Returning to the capital in haste, I didn’t get to the door to celebrate, so here’s a cup of thin wine to congratulate second brother.”
As soon as this was said, King Kai’s King Li’s fake smile couldn’t hang on.
Kai Wang as the eldest son of the emperor, so far only wear five pearl gold crown, the original Li Wang through the empress and the power of the Marquis of Yongan, step on his head is just. Now even the King of Qing also crossed him, there is no comfortable.
The Li King is needless to say, although planted in the Yu Wang Fu, but that night the West Lin door broken, Qing Wang merit, is the reason he lost the heart of the saint. The Zhang family has also sent people to secretly check afterward, Yongan Marquis means that Qing Wang is very suspicious.
At the moment, he saw the top of the Royal Consort and the Queen almost equal, and King Qing and his own already equal, more like a great enemy.
At this time, the emperor also looked at him and said: “Xianhan, on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Princess Yu suffered a great deal of aggression. Today, in front of a crowd of relatives, you give Consort Yu a toast and make amends in public.”
