Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The royal study was yazhou was being burned in three fire basinsThe cleverly designed fire basins didn't have excessive ash, only excessive heatThey enveloped the entire roon with the weather
There was only a faint burning smellThe scent was not bad, but Fan Xian's sensitive nose was not used to itHe couldn't but miss the warmth of a white room far away in a different worldHe remembered two cheeky lines he once read in his previous life—Chairman Mao had never used a cellphone, and the Emperor had never used an air conditioner
The Emperor sat down on the low couchFrom his expression, it was clear that he was pleased with the warmth in the royal studyThe fine silver hair at his temples and fine lines at the corners of his eyes were all son robe and put on a coht overThe eunuch also brought over a bowl of warm s's nest
Fan Xian stood quietly to the side, but he couldn't help but steal a curious gazeThe daily life of the E extraordinary
The Eht Fan Xian's sneaky appearanceHe couldn't resist sood food to look so greedy?”
Fan Xian chuckled and said, ”Mainly because I had to enter the Palace early today, so breakfast was rushed”
The E for hi for this order on the sideHe quickly went behind the curtain and brought out an embroidered stoolFan Xian sat down and couldn't help but think of a year and a half ago of his first ti the royal study to discuss mattersHe was also curious as to why the Emperor didn't continue the royal study discussion after the court conference ended and called hi not seen the Es as acting, for a inFortunately, when the Emperor and an official meet, it should be the Emperor who speaks first anywayThe inside of the royal study immediately sunk into silence
The Emperor drank half the s's nest and placed it on the tableHe raised his head to look at Fan Xian's face, looking at that delicate and pure faceFor so frozen heart moved for the first ti to throw out that glimmer of emotion from his monarchical head
”How are your injuries?” The Ehtly and respectfully replied, ”Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concernYour official is fine” He knew that the Emperor certainly already knew of the news of Yan Xiaoyi's son's strange death, but since he was not bringing it up and not connecting this matter to him, he was happy to play muteHe couldn't be bothered to explain more
”Your Majesty…?” The EhedHe smiled and said, ”There is no need to be so reservedIf you have so to say, then say itEarlier in the year, I sent you to Jiangnan to…I wanted to train you through experience to promote youHowever, it had to be hard work for you”
For the Es, it really wasn't easyAlthough Fan Xian's heart was moved, he was not softIn an even voice, he said, ”To be honest, Your Majesty, I was very willing to go to Jiangnan”
He continued to soodI've alanted to visit”
Instead of using ”official” he used ”I” nowEvery time these two spoke, it developed like thisFirst, it was official and ruler, then senior and junior, and then it became a blurry father and son situationThey never spoke of it, but they both kneellIt was auous, sour, and shameless
The Emperor smiled and said quietly a ratified”
Naturally, he was referring to the palace treasury nan Road ance and spirit a young official ought to haveFor this court and this Eoodness froht now, Fan Xian was a knife in the Emperor's handHe had essentially already offended every powerful level in the court, and the E of the attack in the valley, he couldn't help but feel a faint pity for Fan Xian, but…not nanthe report on politicalto court to debrief was in courtIn the court conference in a few days, Fan Xian would have to wear court robes and cohs of ad from the civil and martial officialsToday, in the royal study, it was only an E the Jiangnan and Jiaozhou h endless secret memorials, so their discussion today lay elsewhere
Elsewhere lay in DanzhouThe Emperor seemed to be particularly interested in Fan Xian's trip to Danzhou to visit fah Fan Xian felt it was soe, he restrained his te'er's matter, who knew just how many spies the Emperor had put around him
The EFan Xian replied to each of his questions and described the scenery now in Danzhou: the white seagulls and precipices beside the city walls
Then, Fan Xian fell into silence because he had an unexpected discovery, the Emperor's htly shuttered, and the lines at the corners of his eyes deed peopleHe didn't look at Fan Xian and didn't speakHe only peacefully re Fan Xian's descriptions
Suddenly, he realized that the voice telling the story had stoppedThe Emperor raised his head, startled, and found that Fan Xian was gazing at hiI was just thinking that after co back frodouI couldn't help butthe last Western expedition, there was a rebellion in JingdouThe Taiping Courtyard ashed with flood, and Fan Xian was taken by Wu Zhu into that black carriage and escaped to DanzhouFan Xian's expression didn't changeHe only hesitantly asked, ”Your Majesty, you've also been to Danzhou?”
”Of course I've been” The corners of the Ehtly”When I went to Danzhou, you weren't born yetIt was in Danzhou that I met your mother”
The official and ruler both fell into silence,They both felt these words were a bit stupidWhen the father first just met the mother, of course, the son hadn't been born yet
A htly dazed Fan Xian said, ”So it was in Danzhou”
”Has Director Chen and…Minister Fan not told you before?” The Eht you knew so of what happened back then”
Fan Xian knew that if he opened his mouth and asked, the Emperor in front of him, as still sunk in beautiful memories, would certainly satisfy his curiosityHowever, for some reason, Fan Xian didn't want to askJust like how behind that silk curtain was hidden beautiful scenery of Cang Mountain, but in the hed peaceably”Hoould the elders have the leisure tisOnly, when I was little, I knew the court granted Danzhou a special favorIn the beginning, it was three years of no taxesWhen I went back this time, I found that taxes have always been waivedThe people of Danzhou are living well and endlessly thankful to Your Majesty”
”I a I should doWhat need is there for gratitude?” The Ehed”I've waived taxes in Danzhou for 20 yearsOne, because of ratitude for that port that year”
These wordsto talk with the Emperor about his first love? Furthermore, that first love was his urgling noiseHis ry, please, grant me a bowl of s nest to eat”
The E at Fan Xian's nose, he couldn't speak for a whileEver since the Qing EhtHe watched the world and all of his officials and people feel fear and respectIn over 10 years, there had not been an official who co a conversation between the ruler and the officialEven when the Crown Prince and the Great Prince were young and held by concubines from the Palace, they didn't dare speak so cheekily
After a long tihterHis eyes were filled with tenderness and he scolded, ”This shamelessness, not even half of your mother's…ahem, ahem”
The Emperor forcefully sed those words and slanted his eyes at the half a bowl of s's nest on the tableHe casually pointed at it and said, ”It's still warerly went forward to pick up the pure-white porcelain bowlWithout worrying about anything, he ate it all in a few ratitude or an expression that said the Ehty, he still ate it very happily
The Eht to himself that An Zhi was indeed not one to put on a pretenseHowever, the E in his heartHe wasn't cursing the E petty, rather he loathed the fact that the s's nest had been eaten by the other person
To the side, the silently waiting Eunuch Yao was shocked at seeing this sceneHe had been in the Palace for ht between the ruler and officials a few timesThe last time was probably when Shu Wu the Scholar had returned from Northern QiIn order to show his favor and that he held no grudges, he had granted him half a piece of dried meat
However, last time, because Shu the Scholar was unbelievably moved by the dried meat, he had knelt in front of the E down his face and repeatedly praised the E like Sir Fan junior today, at ease and natural
It seemed that the Emperor seemed to favor Sir Fan junior's responsewith admiration in his heartThis kind of official and ruler, this kind of…father and son, it was very rare to see in the PalaceAs he was thinking, he was jolted awake by the Emperor's callHe quickly took the bowl and retreatedAs he walked along the eaves in the Palace, he was still thinking about the scene earlier with deep fear and admiration
