Queen of the Black Phoenix

Chapter 397 The Life of Being Emperor Xi

"Eat more fish, especially fish eyes, to nourish the brain." The Empress Dowager Xi Gui was picking out a fish eye and putting it in the bowl in front of her son.

Put the other fish eye in my husband's bowl.

There is a fish on the plate.

A fish has two eyes.

One father and one son.

The fat Tang Xi, who is now the emperor, frowned and sighed.

He really needs to refresh his mind.

After becoming the emperor, he found that his brain was not enough.

He actually couldn't understand some of those memorials, and he needed his mother to teach him piece by piece, breaking them up sentence by sentence and telling him.

Fatty simply felt that he had disgraced Shen Xuegong too much.

If the mother wants to go to Shenxuegong to go to school, she must take the first place in the exam... no, it is the second place, and that lunatic brother Xun should be excluded.

It is said that the people of Xiguo are straightforward, but the memorial is not straightforward at all.

Fatty looked at it for a long time before he could understand what the so many words on the memorial were talking about.

For example, a memorial with several thousand words praised the beauty of sweets, but in the end it actually talked about the problem of salt.

It gave him a headache.

Fortunately, one thing is good, Xiguo's court meeting does not need to be held every day, nor does it need to be so early.

Every time there is a court meeting, Fat Da feels like studying for an exam.

He has to prepare nervously for review, coupled with his mother's repeated instructions and precautions, in order to sit firmly on the dragon chair.

There is really no need to worry about falling asleep, because he will be questioned at any time.

And one bad thing is that his body shape seems to grow extremely fast after returning to Xiguo Palace.

I can't help feeling a little bit.

But the father became even more lethargic, and seemed to be dozing off every day except when eating.

Chubby feels tired.

really tired.

Also, he doesn't like to eat fish eyes.

I always feel that the protruding fish eyes are terrible, and I feel a little bit unrepentant.

But facing the expectant look in his mother's eyes, he still closed his eyes and swallowed the fish eyes whole.

At this time, I suddenly thought of the feeling of snake meat soup last time in Longyuan Mountain.

Terrible, but surprisingly delicious.

Thinking of the scene where I found Shenyou's room to sleep with her in the middle of the night, and was surrounded and frightened by Shenyou's brothers the next day.

Thinking about it now, I just feel that the clouds on that day were so beautiful.

The stones by the lake are all lovely.

After lunch, Fatty didn't take a lunch break.

He didn't read the memorial either.

Not reading the memorial is considered a rest.

He found a pile of idle books.

In fact, it is not an idle book, but a book written by their ancestors.

about shipbuilding.

Since moving to the bedroom where the emperors lived.

Seeing the boat in the bedroom, Fatty suddenly realized that he fell in love with boats.

Every day when I am free, I will stand in front of the boat.

Later that ship was even dismantled.

Then he put the boat together again.

In the afternoon, he was alone in the huge room.

Surrounding his massive body was a pile of timber, of various kinds.

Old books and notes, he focused on splicing them together, recording something from time to time.

At this time, he is happy.

And outside the house, there is a shadow.

Empress Dowager Gui and Empress Dowager Huang Rong stood at the door.

Rong's body is too huge, standing like a mountain.

The eyes also became a long slit.

He has been lethargic lately.

Empress Dowager Gui was worried that he would fall asleep, and she always finished eating, so she dragged him out for a walk as much as possible.

Taishang Huangrong actually doesn't like walking very much.

Walking was hard work, for him.

Every step is laborious.

But at this moment, the husband and wife looked at the son in the room, sitting seriously among a pile of messy wood.

It seems to be back to the west.

"Xie'er is like his grandfather. His grandfather is also very good at carpentry. I remember when I was a child, my father made me a small wooden boat, and I could swim in the water." Rong recalled, with a smile on his face.

Empress Dowager Gui really wanted to laugh with her, but she couldn't.

As a daughter-in-law, she definitely can't speak ill of her elders, that would be really disrespectful, but in her memory, the former emperor was really a bad person, at least as an emperor.

The status of the previous emperors of the Xi Kingdom was not so bad. The most corrupted one was the former emperor, that is, Rong's father and Gui's father-in-law.

He only focuses on his hobbies and never cares about state affairs.

Xiguo's state affairs almost fell into the hands of the four gentlemen.

When we arrived at Xihuangrong's place, it was too late to get back our rights.

Just barely maintaining balance.

But if the emperor is like the former emperor and the empress dowager, I really don't know what to do.

But this trend is becoming more and more similar.

When Huang'er talked about state affairs, he always frowned, but seeing him dismantling wooden boats and building wooden boats, he was very happy.

With a smile on his face, serious and focused.

If they are really just children of ordinary people, it is nothing to have such hobbies, the big deal is to become a rich man.

However, there is no such if.

Empress Dowager Rose was very worried.

The royal family of the Xi Kingdom is already in danger. Seeing that the Yin family is dominating, Yin Kezhou, the head of the Yin family, is ambitious and intends to replace him at any time.

Yin Kezhou sought the princess of Shen Kingdom for his youngest son, which shows his ambition.

The Xu family was divided up, and the Yin family was also the biggest winner.

Most of the Xu family's property went into the Yin family's pocket.

If the emperor is just addicted to playing games, how can he support the country and secure the throne.

Xi's domestic and foreign troubles are serious.

Jing Guo's wolf ambition, not only did not retreat immediately as she expected, but unexpectedly captured Shen Guo's Pingshui City. There are still many Xi Guo's businesses in Pingshui City, and now all of them have been interrupted.

Jing State can attack Shen State, so naturally it can also attack Xi State.

The officials of the Xi Kingdom are bustling with each other for profit. If one day, the army invades, will those officials directly want to negotiate a good price with the Jing Kingdom and sell the royal family directly.

In the afternoon, the years are quiet.

Xiguo is not too cold, and the clothes are thick and warm, and with the sun shining, it is very comfortable.

The only downside is that if you sunbathe every day in winter, your skin will be darker and less beautiful.

When Empress Dowager Rose was thinking, the nasolabial folds on her cheeks would stand out.

Old Xi Huangrong looked at his wife's appearance, and pressed her face with his thick fingers.

It was found that there was almost no flesh on her face.

"Don't worry so much. The emperor has grown up. He is already Emperor Xi. He can take on the responsibilities he should bear. This is just a time to rest. Let him rest for a while."

Empress Dowager Gui left with Lao Xihuang on her arm.

The two walked in the huge garden.

In the woods, because of the new emperor's new enthronement, it has a new look.

The moss and everything in the corners have been removed.

The stone path is very spacious.

Xiguo has a warm climate, and there is only one frost at the coldest time, and it rarely snows.

That's why Yin Xiong, who was still a young man, went to the Wilderness for the first time, saw the grasslands, and saw the snow-capped mountains, so he showed such a feeling of excitement.

It is lush here all year round.

"Dong dong dong!" There was a heavy knock on the door.

Xin Huangxi raised his head and looked at the sundial on the boat that measured the time under the sun. Before he knew it, the time had already been marked, and he should read the memorial.

Although it was a bit of a memory, he still closed the book he had read before, and carefully picked up a leaf before closing it.

These are leaves picked from Yongyeon Mountain.

For a while, it was popular among students of Shenxue Palace to make bookmarks.

Everyone showed their special skills and did it very delicately, but Shenyou forgot about it, and finally picked a few leaves from the tree as bookmarks. Unexpectedly, they were greatly appreciated by the husband, and the leaf bookmarks became popular because of this.

Closing the book, he stood up, stretching his arms, staggering, twisting his waist and hips, looking awkward.

He insisted on exercising like this for a quarter of an hour, and then went to the imperial study.

When he arrived at the imperial study room, he yawned a lot when he saw the memorials full of them.

I feel sleepy without looking at it.

Even so, he sat down in front of the memorial and took out one by one.

After reading, make some subtle marks on each book, and you can ask your mother if you don't understand.

There is a small sundial in front of the table, and the shadow on the sundial moves slowly.
