Merry Xianggong Ximen Qing

He said he was a guest, but he was actually the host. Although it was only in name now, he was still the host after all; and the Song Dynasty envoy led by Ximen Qing was his guest.

No one thought that Emperor Toba would casually bring a few servants and walk gently into the courtyard of the Korokan.

Without a note or support, Emperor Toba was like a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child from the neighbor's house, quietly staying under the cherry blossom tree, as if admiring it, while the servants stayed far away, intentionally They blocked the gate of the yard.

Even the envoys of the Great Song Dynasty and Cai Nu were blocked in the courtyard together.

Of course, days are too short, and right now many of them are still doing their morning "fights" under the covers.

The first one to notice was Takasu Sugawara, this nerd who sent his accompanying Cai girl away before the first shift, saying that he wanted to read a book.

I went to bed early and got up early, just in time to meet Emperor Toba who was quietly watching flowers in the yard.

Emperor Toba woke up early on purpose, and changed into his regular clothes, without making a fuss, he brought only a few trustworthy servants, and ran over from the imperial palace in one breath.

When we arrived, even the officials of the Honglu Pavilion hadn't all got up yet. [

Cai Nu came to accompany the envoys of the Great Song Dynasty, so the Honghe Pavilion naturally had to be a little meaty, didn't it?

"The villain is the interpreter of the mission, who is your Excellency?"

Takato Sugawara asked cautiously, this thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy looks like a human being, but this is Kyoto after all, and cats and dogs don’t dare to run into the courtyard of the Honglu Hall casually in the early morning, let alone those few people who are blocked. The servants at the gate of the courtyard, the clothes on their bodies let Takashi Sugawara see their identities as well.

Could it be some curious prince?

Mr. Sugawara was muttering, but the thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy suddenly smiled shyly: "You are Mr. Sugawara, the young prison supervisor, Mr. Ximen, have you ever gotten up? Please come out and say something."

A few words have not seen the edge, but the tone of the master

Revealing doubts made Sugawara Taka-san even more puzzled.

"Your Excellency Gao's surname?" Sugawara Taka asked tentatively.

Emperor Toba shook his sleeves: "Surname."

As soon as these two words were uttered, Takashi Sugawara's heart immediately became clearer, and he knelt down on the ground in a hurry: "The villain has seen Your Majesty!"

Emperor Toba nodded his head, and said: "Is there a place to meet guests?"

When Mr. Sugawara went to knock on the door of Ximen Qing's room in a panic, Ximen Qing just got out of Sang Sanniang's arms and was about to get dressed.

Ximen Qing was also surprised by Emperor Toba's visit, but after asking Mr. Sugawara in detail, Ximen Qing immediately realized that this was a rare opportunity for him to talk to Emperor Toba. [

If he had planned according to his original plan, he would try to visit Emperor Toba today, and by the way observe the relationship between the grandparents of Emperor Shirakawa and Emperor Toba.

But I didn't expect that Emperor Toba would come to the door by himself, and obviously wanted to hide the old guy from Emperor Shirakawa. It seems that Emperor Toba wants to make some changes, which is actually a good thing for Ximenqing's plan.

"Sugawara, go and invite Miraculous Doctor An along with you." Ximen Qing thought for a while and ordered, "I'll go see His Majesty the Emperor myself first."

Takashi Sugawara didn't understand Ximen Qing's intentions, but he still followed the instructions; Ximen Qing thought about the clothes on the bed, said a few words with Sang Sanniang, and hurried to see the Emperor Toba.

This meeting is very important to Ximen Qing's plan.

As soon as he stepped into the living room, Emperor Toba, who was admiring the calligraphy and painting on the wall, turned around and looked at Ximen Qing.

"How is Your Majesty?" Ximen Qing gave a slight salute, neither humble nor overbearing: "Your Majesty is Ximen Chuuxue, the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty."

"Fubuki? Good name." Emperor Toba showed a slight smile: "The envoys have come across the ocean, and it's been a bumpy journey. It's been hard work."

Emperor Toba's Chinese is very standard and fluent.

The two sat down, but they didn't bother to ask someone to serve tea. Ximen Qing secretly looked at him, seeing that Emperor Toba and King Jia were about the same age, he couldn't help making a comparison in his heart. It seems that Wang Jian is still a pure and innocent boy, while King Jia Zhao Kai and Crown Prince Zhao Huan seem old-fashioned, and their words are at least twice their actual age.

He was going to get married at the age of 14, and what he had to face was a woman thrust from his grandfather. Although that woman was only a year older than him, and the two had met several times, they were arranged by his side piece.

After the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, Ximen Qing brought the topic to the big wedding.

"This is all the decision of the Emperor." Emperor Toba's tone was full of awe, not at all like the master of Dongpu: "It would be best if Master Ximen came to watch the ceremony."

Ximen Qing saw a trace of dissatisfaction from the young man's face, and was about to take this as a breakthrough, coughing: "Then the relationship between His Majesty and Miss Zhangzi must be very good."

"Acquaintance." Emperor Toba frowned, clutching the corner of his sleeve with his fingers: "Miss Zhangzi's mother and sister are both my nurses. How can I say they are familiar."

This kind of reaction can already be said to be Haochengfu, a pair of resignation.

"So," Ximen Qing smiled slightly: "In His Majesty's heart, is there another woman?"

This kind of questioning method is really bold. If Emperor Baihe was by his side, he might be ready to call someone to take down Ximen Qing for questioning.

But Emperor Toba is not His Holiness Shirakawa. He chose to remain silent on this issue, but he also indirectly admitted this fact.

Although he didn't know how Ximen Qing saw it, Emperor Toba secretly admired Ximen Qing's observation ability.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking bluntly." Ximen Qing said, "The Emperor arranged for Miss Zhangzi to be with His Majesty for another purpose."

With such direct words, Emperor Toba also had to defend his grandfather: "The Emperor also wants me to be happy, and Miss Zhangzi is also a good woman."

Ximen Qing didn't know how uncomfortable the words "nice woman" came from the mouth of a 14-year-old boy.

"Does the Emperor mean that he wants Ms. Zhangzi to be the middle palace?" Ximen Qing said straightforwardly, "This is not an ordinary position."

Emperor Toba naturally knew what Ximenqing meant, and sighed slightly: "Miss Zhangzi will also be a good middle palace. The Emperor has confidence in her, and I also believe in her, Sir Ximen. Let's change the subject."

"No, this topic is very important." Ximen Qing rebuffed flatly, playing with Lei Gongshi, and said slowly: "The authorities are obsessed with it, but the bystanders are clear. The arrangement mentioned by the lower officials is not just about this."

"Then what do you mean?" Emperor Toba's arm trembled slightly.

"I don't know what to say, Miss Zhangzi is probably pregnant right now." Ximenqing threw out his last card and dragged Emperor Toba into the water: "I'm getting married this year, and I'm afraid I'm going to have a son soon."

Emperor Toba stood up suddenly, looked at Ximen Qing with strange eyes, and then sat down slowly: "Master Ximen just arrived in Kyoto, those are just rumors, how could the Emperor be such a person?"

Emperor Toba did not leave in anger, which has already shown that there is something to be said; the rumors in his mouth, but in fact he wants to know the truth.

Ximen Qing saw through all this, and said seriously, "I have studied Dao for many years, and I am proficient in Yin-Yang studies, and also know how to divination and fortune-telling. These are seen from the hexagrams."

Ximenqing intentionally used a vocabulary familiar to Emperor Toba, which really aroused the interest of the young man: "Onmyoology? Is it the same Onmyoji as the Abe Onmyoji in the palace?"

The most famous onmyoji in the Heian period was Abe Seimei, but it seems that the year is wrong. It is estimated that Abe mentioned by Emperor Toba is his descendant.

"To be honest with your Majesty, Dongying's Yin-Yang Learning is just learned from the Song Dynasty, and it can only be regarded as the surface of Yin-Yang Learning."

In order to prove this point, Ximen Qing took off the Leigong Stone and rubbed it casually, and the jade pendant immediately lit up.

"This thing is so miraculous!" Emperor Toba's eyes lit up along with Leigongshi, full of curiosity.

The light of Lei Gongshi was closed as soon as it was released, Ximenqing put it away again, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is known as the divinatory hexagram, and I have never missed it. If your majesty doesn't believe it, you can ask the imperial physician in the palace to feel the pulse of Miss Zhangzi, then Knowledgeable."

If traditional medicine can't even hear the happy pulse, it can be killed and returned to the furnace; but if the imperial doctor dares to announce it before the wedding, it can also be killed.

"Even if those imperial physicians knew about it, they wouldn't tell me." Emperor Toba sighed as he had some confidence in Ximen Qing's "Onmyoji".

"What's so difficult about that?" Ximen Qing chuckled, "There is an imperial physician in the delegation of the lower officials."

As soon as Ximenqing finished speaking, just as the divine doctor An Daoquan was present, he walked into the living room and saluted Ximenqing and Emperor Toba.

"This is the great doctor Song An." Ximen Qing bragged that he didn't pay taxes: "He sees all the illnesses of the officials."

It has to be said that An Daoquan has a good image and temperament, and he can be convincing just by poking there.

"It really looks like a genius doctor!"

Emperor Toba looked him over and praised him, so he told An Daoquan to sit down and talk.

"Just say let the genius doctor from Song Dynasty show Miss Zhangzi's complexion." Ximen Qing gave Emperor Toba an idea, further shaking his heart: "When the time comes, the genius doctor An will only tell His Majesty the truth. ?”

Emperor Toba's eyes flickered, and he suddenly said, "How does Miracle Doctor An look at me?"

As soon as this remark came out, Ximenqing knew that Emperor Toba was tempted, so he winked at An Daoquan and asked him to speak up boldly.

An Daoquan moved a stool in front of Emperor Toba in a serious manner, first said "offend", then carefully observed the young man's face, and asked to stick out his tongue to look at it, and finally checked the left and right pulses in turn, stroked his hand Beard remained silent.

"Just talk to the genius doctor." Emperor Toba urged with his arms back.

An Daoquan coughed, and slowly said: "Your Majesty's bones are still healthy, but there are some roots of disease in the womb, so he is a little thin, and a major event happened when he was five years old, and His Majesty was seriously injured."

Following An Daoquan's narration, Emperor Toba, who was listening with a smile, lost his smile at some point, and a rare haze appeared on his face.
