Chapter 82:

The first snow in the Forbidden City this year came a little early. It didn’t snow very much. It was like a new goose feather blanket covering the whole world.

Ji Heng went to the Bixin pavilion to enjoy the snow. Ruyi wants to follow, but he doesn’t let Ji Heng hold him. He stands on the chair and lies on Tian Qi’s back, letting her carry him. In front of the empress dowager, Tian Qi dare not refuse Ruyi, so she has to carry him on her back.

The child’s body grows faster and faster. Ruyi becomes heavier. Tian Qi has some difficulty in carrying him. Ji Heng was distressed when he saw it. When he left the Ci Ning palace, he immediately grabbed Ruyi. Ruyi was not happy. Ji Heng had to carry the little ancestor and let him ride on his neck.

Ruyi is happy at last. Holding on to his father’s hat, Ruyi shouts, “drive.” Ji Heng is in a good mood and doesn’t know the same thing as a child. He looked at Tian Qi and found that Tian Qi was smiling at their father and son. Ji Heng was in a better mood. On such a cold day, his chest was warm.

Bixin Pavilion is built in the middle of the Taiye pool. At this time, the water in the pool has become a thin layer of ice. With the snow on it, it looks like entering a crystal world. Ji Heng let people clear in advance, he shouldered his son, and Tian Qi walked up the path in the Taiye pool side by side. The steps under the Bixin pavilion are a little slippery, and Tian Qi’s foot is not stable enough to slip. Ji Heng is in a hurry. He goes to help her and forgets Ruyi on his shoulder. However, Ruyi raised his hands uneasily and grasped the eaves of Bixin Pavilion.

Ji Heng helps Tian Qi up and goes out to find that his son is gone. He looked around, and saw Ruyi clutching the eaves, his legs dangling in the air. Tian Qi was so scared that she hurriedly went to pick up Ruyi. Ji Heng walks over with a black line in his face and pulls Ruyi down. The more he looks, this little bastard was more and more annoying.

Ruyi sits on the stone bench covered with scarlet wool cushion. Tian Qi is shocked. So she finds a slip of food box placed on the side railing. She takes out a small pot of hot milk, which is filled with rose dew and honey. When it is poured out, it is fragrant. Ji Heng watched Tian Qi feeding Ruyi’s milk with a small tea bowl. He felt Ruyi was more annoying.

“Tian Qi, hot wine for me. “Ji Heng said.

Tian Qi then put down the tea bowl and went to find the stuff for the Emperor. Fortunately, others are well prepared, not only wine but also vegetables. She brought them up one by one, and Ji Heng saw that she was busy, but he was also a little distressed. He took her to sit down. He took the wine himself and handed her a glass.

In such a place, Tian Qi suddenly sits on the same level as him, a little cramped.

Ji Heng holds her hand and refuses to let it go. He frowns and asks, “how can it be so cold? Have you worn the clothes I gave you? ”

Tian Qi nodded. It’s getting colder and colder. Ji Heng has given her a lot of clothes to keep her warm, which is much better than what she bought. For example, one of the clothes she wears today is fox fur, and the boot pad is rabbit fur. Fur clothes are usually worn outside, but Tian Qi wears this kind of clothes too astoundingly. Ji Heng asked people to make it smaller on purpose to make her wear it as a small coat. However, Tian Qi was born cold, and her hands and feet were cold. Even if she was wearing warm clothes now, her hands were still cold.

Ji Heng holds her hand and doesn’t let it go. He wants to warm her up with his palm.

Ruyi is too young to understand how love is. Instinctively, he realizes that Tian Qi and his father are too close. He is not very happy. He says wrongly, “Tian Qi, don’t you like me? ”

Ji Heng patted his little face and said, “Tian Qi is my man. ”

Ruyi cried and asked Tian Qi, “Aren’t you going to play with me anymore?”

Tian Qi wanted to talk, but Ji Heng said, “play with you in the daytime, play with me in the night. ”

Ruyi, biting his finger, always feels that this is not right. But when he thought about it carefully, he felt that he had taken advantage of it. It’s time to sleep at night. What’s fun playing at night?.

In the afternoon, Ji Heng went to the plum blossom garden of Tang Ruoling’s house to appreciate the plum blossom and contact the feelings of the monarch and the minister. He not only went on his own but also gathered a large group of prominent officials, including Zheng Shoufu and Sun Congrui. Because it’s not a court meeting, so the ministers are not restrained. They also take the opportunity to bring their son. The children rarely have a chance to meet the Emperor, so they must leave a deep impression on him.

Tang Ruoling’s family is not a rich man. His plum blossom garden is mainly built for his use. It covers a small area, and there are not many plum trees. In the past, when the monarchs and ministers gathering, there are more people than plum trees. Ji Heng praises those plum trees that had been surrounded. Following the spirit of plum blossom, he talked about Tang Ruoling’s spirit. Tang Ruoling was praised with some shame. Of course, if you want to hear this kind of scene, the other party can tell you three days and three nights, anyway, there is no tax.

Sun Congrui listened carefully and was very jealous.

Ji Heng was not in a good mood, he had to pull others to sour with him, and let the younger generation present make a poem about plum. Poetry is a skill that some people bring out from their mothers, such as Tang Tianyuan. He can take the lead. The final result is naturally carried out by Ji Heng.

Sun Congrui was even more depressed. The so-called comparison of people to die, goods to throw. It is also the second generation of officials. Sun Fan can only rely on his father’s rank,. But Tang Tianyuan, the eldest son of Tang Ruoling. He was seriously examining in the imperial examination, taking an official career, entering the Imperial Academy, becoming the cabinet reserve. Then, naturally, he becomes the ministers!

Sun Congrui’s heart was filled with resentment. He resented not because his son was not good enough, but because the other party was too good. However, the emergence of Tang’s father and son is not entirely due to their outstanding ability. Sun Congrui thought of the haunted little eunuch and ground his teeth. When people encounter difficulties, they have the habit of choosing the weak one.

When Ji Heng was at Tang Ruoling’s house, Tian Qi was playing with Ruyi in Ci Ning palace. There is a part of snow in the courtyard of Ci Ning palace that hasn’t been swept. It’s reserved for Ruyi. Tian Qi has finished the snowball, let Ruyi hold the snowball with leather gloves, and see whoever doesn’t look good will lose. The eunuchs of the court ladies around Ruyi were all recruited, and Ruyi was having fun.

One of the maids, who was usually called “aunt Ruixiang,” came out to watch for a while and then went back.

In the flower Hall of Ci Ning palace, the Empress Dowager is chatting with several concubines. This year’s first snow, everyone is a little excited, sitting in a place to compliment each other a few auspicious words. Aunt Ruixiang came in and whispered to the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager listened. Her face was as gloomy as the snowy sky. “Bring Tian Qi to me! ”

The concubines all sat up straight and looked solemn. They did not understand why the Empress Dowager was suddenly angry.

Naturally, they don’t know, because they can’t see the clothes Tian Qi wears. Tian Qi was playing with Ruyi outside just now. She raised her hand and inevitably showed clues from her sleeve. Ruixiang has a sharp-eyed. So she came back to tell the empress dowager. This fur coat is made of the fur under the fox’s armpit. It said that the fur is made from the armpit is very rare. It’s soft, small,  smooth, and it’s easy to recognize. Therefore, although Ruixiang is not very sure, it is also eight points sure.

The empress dowager is very angry. Even if fur clothes are put in the court, they are also luxury goods. What kind of slaves like Tian Qi have to be rampant to be better than the master?

She is very dissatisfied with Tian Qi these days. After the so-called 9981 days, the Emperor has not been lucky, but frequently went out of the palace, she did not know what his son was doing?  Who brought the Emperor down? Do you need to ask? Every time the Emperor goes out, he only takes Tian Qi alone!

Moreover, Ruyi was controlled by Tian Qi. Tian Qi, a little boy like this, coaxes Ruyi to five fans and three ways with her tricks, so Ruyi quarrels every day to find Tian Qi to play.

The empress dowager is very upset. Her two closest and most concerned people were coaxed to earn money by the eunuch. What’s the next step of this dog slave? The Empress Dowager suddenly thought of the darkest years ever, and then looked at Tian Qi in front of her, she suddenly thought of a person.

Chen Wuyong.

Hoodwink the master, collude with the Prince, and abolish the crown prince. These, Tian Qi has achieved the first step at least. The second step, it seems, is not difficult.

As the winner of this struggle, the empress dowager has been subconsciously avoiding admitting the comeback of the enemy. Still, at the same time, those painful memories in the past make her worry, vigilant, and even grassy.

The Empress Dowager’s dissatisfaction with Tian Qi is like a surging river. At this time, Tian Qi bumped into her eyes and dug up the river bank. Isn’t it death?.

At present, she feels that everyone in the flower hall holds their breath. The Empress Dowager’s face is blue. Although Tian Qi is not sure what’s the problem, she knows it’s not good. She knelt respectfully, thinking carefully about what the empress dowager would probably blame her for and how she should retort.

But the Empress Dowager’s accusation is not very specific – although she knows something, she can’t declare it to her. There is nothing to say. This kind of slave who is deeply feared by her must be killed. She pointed at Tian Qi and scolded, “come, drag out the devil’s, and kill her with a stick! ”
