Chapter 182 East Palace Thousand Star Pavilion
"Reading?"
Emperor Yongyuan turned his head slightly surprised and looked at Zhao Feng.
As a result, he saw the worn-out book that Zhao Feng presented with both hands.
Emperor Yongyuan suddenly raised his hand and stopped the eunuchs who trusted him from changing his clothes.
He wore a half-undressed dragon robe and walked in front of Zhao Feng, his eyes fixed on the book.
Emperor Yongyuan stretched out his big hand and gently stroked the cover of the book, and was speechless for a long time.
"Is Ankang reading this book?"
Emperor Yongyuan suddenly asked.
"Your Highness should have read it countless times. It is said that there is only this book in Jingyang Palace."
Zhao Feng answered truthfully and respectfully.
Emperor Yongyuan took it back, but his eyes stayed on the book for a moment longer.
"I am using the library in the West Palace. Let Ankang go to the Thousand Star Pavilion in the East Palace."
Zhao Feng suddenly looked up, extremely surprised.
"What? Isn't that enough?"
"Why don't I let Ankang live in the East Palace directly!"
Zhao Feng immediately knelt on the ground, maintaining the posture of presenting the book, but his head was on the ground.
"I dare not, I dare not..."
"I dare not?"
Emperor Yongyuan snorted.
"I think you dare very much."
"When I wrote this book, wasn't it you who ground the ink next to me?"
"I really don't believe you can't recognize this book."
Emperor Yongyuan looked down at Zhao Feng condescendingly and said playfully.
"I am afraid that I will waste your majesty's efforts..."
Zhao Feng just said this, and didn't defend himself much.
He was sure that he was doing it for Emperor Yongyuan, and that was enough.
Talking too much would make him look guilty.
"Hmph!"
Emperor Yongyuan snorted again.
"Let's set it in the Qianxing Pavilion of the East Palace!"
"Doesn't Ankang want to read?"
"I will satisfy her."
Emperor Yongyuan said this, which was the final word, leaving Zhao Feng no room for comment.
Zhao Feng smiled bitterly, wondering if he had done something unnecessary.
If Princess Ankang could really enter and leave the Qianxing Pavilion of the East Palace freely, it would not be satisfying her wish, but putting her on the fire.
With the few soldiers and generals in the Jingyang Palace, even if the Ministry of Internal Affairs secretly helped, I am afraid it would not be able to withstand the turbulent waves coming from the dark.
Just when Zhao Feng thought it was bad and didn't know what to do, Emperor Yongyuan slowly added a sentence.
"The specific rules will be decided by you."
After saying that, Emperor Yongyuan waved his hand vigorously, dismissed Zhao Feng, and continued to let his trusted eunuchs change his clothes for him.
Zhao Feng regained some composure after hearing this, knowing that His Majesty had left him room.
Zhao Feng apologized and was about to crawl out.
From the time he knelt down until now, Emperor Yongyuan had never let him stand up.
How could Zhao Feng dare to overstep the line?
Anyway, over the years, Zhao Feng had already mastered his own tricks, and kneeling down to retreat was no problem at all.
Zhao Feng was kneeling on the ground and was about to speed up when Emperor Yongyuan suddenly turned around and said to him:
"Remember to rebind the book, repair it, and send it back."
"Zhao Feng, remember this."
"This book is written by me for Concubine Xiao."
"If you meddle in other people's business again, watch out for your head."
Zhao Feng kowtowed and replied, "This old slave obeys the emperor's order!"
When he left Ganlu Hall and stood up again, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But when Zhao Feng saw the worn-out book in his hand, he felt it was worth it.
"You still have some conscience."
A voice suddenly rang in Zhao Feng's ears, scaring him to the side.
But then he realized who it was, and said unhappily: "Can you walk with some noise? You're not dead yet!"
Shang Zongguan laughed and said indifferently: "You are getting more and more nice to say."
"Godfather taught you well."
Zhao Feng bowed and said something.
Shang Zongguan shook his head, pondered for a while, looked at the book in his hand and said: "Don't worry about this matter in the future."
"I'm afraid that your majesty's efforts will be wasted, right?"
Zhao Feng answered, carefully putting the book in his arms.
"Your majesty was very busy when he ascended the throne not long ago. Even so, he stayed up for several nights to write this book. If it rots, it would be a pity."
Zhao Feng stayed up late with Emperor Yongyuan back then, so he naturally knew it very well.
Seeing that no one was around, he continued to whisper:
"Since Concubine Xiao is dead, why should His Highness Ankang continue to stay in Jingyang Palace?"
"She is a princess after all, how can it be justified for a princess to be in the cold palace?"
Even though Zhao Feng became the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he was still puzzled by this matter for so many years.
"Be careful with your words!"
General Manager Shang frowned and interrupted Zhao Feng.
"Reason?"
"Your Majesty is talking about reason, do I need to remind you?"
"Can you call what you figured out yourself a reason?"
"How many years have you been the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs? You are so old and confused?"
"Do you want your godfather to see you off to the grave?"
Shang's series of questions left Zhao Feng speechless. He just lowered his head and listened to the lesson, just like when he was a young eunuch.
After so many years, Shang is still so good at teaching his son.
Seeing Zhao Feng speechless for a long time, Shang also stopped being stern, sighed, and said:
"I know you still remember the kindness of Concubine Xiao, but remember my words, don't bother with this matter."
"If you insist on intervening, it will harm His Highness Ankang."
"Now that His Highness Ankang has Ah Xuan by his side, you don't have to think too much."
After hearing this, Zhao Feng showed a thoughtful look and looked at Shang, waiting for more explanations.
But Shang didn't mean to say more, he just patted Zhao Feng on the shoulder.
"Let it be."
Seeing that Shang Zongguan didn't mean to explain it, Zhao Feng didn't ask any more questions, but just kept it in mind.
"My child will remember it."
...
In the afternoon, Zhao Feng brought good news to the three children in Jingyang Palace.
Emperor Yongyuan agreed to Princess Ankang's request.
And Zhao Feng also brought back the restored enlightenment fables.
"Zhao Zongguan, is this really my book?"
Princess Ankang flipped through the book in her hand in disbelief. If the handwriting on it was not the same, she would not have recognized it.
"It's just refurbished. The book is still the same book. This way it can be preserved for a longer time."
"In the future, if Your Highness needs it, just tell me, refurbish it from time to time, so that the book can be kept in better condition."
Zhao Feng explained with a smile.
Princess Ankang couldn't put it down and flipped through the book in her hand. She didn't know how it was restored, but it was exactly the same as her childhood impression.
It seems that the craftsmen in the palace who are responsible for repairing books have extraordinary skills.
Princess Ankang is happier about the refurbished books than Emperor Yongyuan agreeing to her wish.
After all, this is the treasure left to her by Concubine Xiao.
"As for reading books, your majesty has made arrangements."
Zhao Feng coughed dryly, attracting the attention of the three little ones.
"In the future, your highness can go to the Qianxing Pavilion in the East Palace to browse books at will."
"On the first day of each month, you can borrow ten books each time, and return them next month or renew them."
Zhao Feng paused, then asked Princess Ankang:
"What do you think, your highness?"
"Qianxing Pavilion in the East Palace?"
The three little ones were all unfamiliar with this name, and they looked at each other, only seeing their own confusion.
Princess Ankang immediately smiled and replied: "As long as I can see more books, Ankang has no objection."
Seeing that Princess Ankang was satisfied with this proposal, Zhao Feng also nodded with a smile.
"Okay, then it's settled."
This charter was set by Zhao Feng.
If Princess Ankang is allowed to go to the East Palace to read books at any time, it will be a disaster.
Zhao Feng made the greatest restrictions on the premise of not affecting Princess Ankang's reading as much as possible.
Only in this way can Princess Ankang not be put in the spotlight.
"How about setting the monthly reading time tomorrow?"
"I will come to pick you up to read books in Qianxing Pavilion tomorrow, and then you can go to the East Palace with me."
Zhao Feng made arrangements.
Princess Ankang naturally had no objection and nodded in agreement.
After sending Zhao Feng away, the three children closed the door and discussed excitedly.
"Great!"
"Ah Xuan, we can see more books."
"When the time comes, I will tell you a new story."
Li Xuan's face turned black immediately, but it was hard to see because he was originally black fur.
But Princess Ankang still saw an impatient look on his little face.
"Oh, the new story must be more interesting."
"Ah Xuan, don't worry."
Li Xuan was speechless.
Is it a question of whether the story is interesting or not?
He is not interested in the story at all.
The only thing that Li Xuan is interested in is whether there are any martial arts secrets in the Qianxing Pavilion.
The name sounds so impressive, it must be good.
"By the way, Sister Yu'er."
"Do you know where this Qianxing Pavilion is?"
Princess Ankang asked curiously.
In response, Yu'er just shook her head.
"Just now I heard from General Manager Zhao that it is the Qianxing Pavilion in the East Palace."
"I have been in the palace for so many years, but I have never set foot in the East Palace."
Princess Ankang nodded to show her understanding.
Li Xuan was suddenly stunned.
"Oh, that's right."
"Why go to the East Palace instead of the West Palace?"
"There should be a similar place in the West Palace, right?"
And the East Palace has always been the residence of the prince.
It's just that the succession to Daxing is undecided, so the East Palace is vacant.
Think about it, it's actually very inappropriate for Princess Ankang to read in the East Palace.
This will make many people who have ambitions for the position of the crown prince feel very nervous.
In addition, the first time, Emperor Yongyuan directly rewarded three meals a day with imperial specifications, I'm afraid there is really no good intention behind this.
"Is Emperor Yongyuan trying to use Ankang to attract fire?"
Li Xuan couldn't help but frowned.
...
Early the next morning.
Zhao Feng brought people to Jingyang Palace early to pick up Princess Ankang to the Qianxing Pavilion in the East Palace.
The three little ones in Jingyang Palace also made preparations early.
Zhao Feng made sufficient preparations. Knowing that Princess Ankang was inconvenient to move, he arranged a large carriage.
The space in the carriage was very large, almost like a large room, and the various furnishings inside were also very complete.
Fruits, snacks, tea and drinks, everything you can think of.
In addition, there was a small bed covered with soft fur for people to rest.
All the furnishings on the carriage were fixed, and even the bottom of the teacup and fruit plate were attached by magnets.
Although they were heavier when held, they would not move around with the bumps of the carriage.
The three children were surprised at the luxury of the carriage.
Princess Ankang had been a princess for so many years, and finally enjoyed the luxurious treatment of a princess.
The three children were curious in the carriage, touching here and there, and were shocked when they found something new, and called the other two to open their eyes together.
After looking around, Princess Ankang held Li Xuan and looked at the scenery outside the carriage window.
In so many years, it seemed that this was the first time she left Jingyang Palace to go to a place other than the Imperial Garden.
Especially this time, she could leave the West Palace, which was a rare experience.
Princess Ankang looked at the scenery outside the window and gradually fell silent.
The palace in front of her was too unfamiliar, making her feel very uneasy.
Princess Ankang hugged Li Xuan tightly in her arms, frowned slightly unconsciously, and a look of sorrow appeared in her eyes.
This is not her home.
She had never thought that the palace where she had lived all her life would be so strange.
It seemed that except for that corner of Jingyang Palace, this place could not be called her home.
Princess Ankang had no memories of these places in front of her.
At this moment, she suddenly wanted to call the carriage and turn back.
Princess Ankang was afraid.
Afraid of the strangeness in front of her.
At this time, a soft cat cry suddenly sounded in her arms.
"Meow~"
Li Xuan saw Princess Ankang's uneasiness, stood up and hugged her neck, and gently leaned his head on her cheek.
"Ah Xuan..."
Princess Ankang's voice was a little low.
"Am I useless?"
Princess Ankang lowered her head, feeling ashamed of her shrinking.
"Meow!"
Li Xuan looked at Princess Ankang and shook his head heavily.
"Your Highness, it's okay."
Yu'er also came over, poured a cup of hot tea for Princess Ankang, and handed it to her.
"Ah Xuan and I will always be by your side."
"Whether you go forward or go back."
"We will always be with you."
Yu'er smiled and comforted.
Li Xuan also nodded.
Princess Ankang's eyes were red, and she raised her head and drank the tea in the cup.
"With Ah Xuan and Sister Yu'er, Ankang is not afraid!"
After saying this, Princess Ankang's expression slowly recovered, and she was no longer as nervous as before.
Li Xuan and Yu'er looked at each other, their eyes full of relief.
Thank you for the reward support from "Angel Loves to Smile".
Thank you for the monthly ticket support from all the book friends.
It's a little late, sorry.
