Chapter 829 Everyone is on holiday (＊＾▽＾＊)
The two old men faced their own realities, and suddenly felt frustrated that they had no place to use their strength, and in the end they were stabbed again.
Wang Ersheng: "Son, if your sweetheart's family has no rice or grain, remember to tell your father and he will immediately, oh no, you will send it to him immediately."
Wang Cheng: ..., there is no need for that!!!
Hayashiya
Seeing her father's frustrated expression, Xiao Yining said with great filial piety, "Dad, you must go and come back early tomorrow. Sister Qing will make ginger soup for you."
Lin Yuzan: ..., this unfilial daughter!!!
in the palace
Sheng Jingchen leaned against the dragon throne, listening to Pei Dafu's report on the early holiday for the girls' school. He glanced sideways at the dim leaden clouds outside and asked, "No news from the Imperial Observatory yet?"
"Your Majesty, there was a sudden heavy snowfall last night, so I went to the Imperial Observatory to ask, and they said... the celestial phenomena were normal." Pei Dafu replied respectfully.
The emperor withdrew his gaze, frowned, and hummed softly.
Seeing this, Pei Dafu comforted him, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. Yanjing has often experienced heavy snow in previous years. What Lin Yuzhan's grandmother said may not be true. She is just an old woman from the countryside. How can she compare to the officials of the Imperial Observatory?"
Sheng Jingchen glanced at him sideways without commenting, "Oh? If they are really worse than an old country woman, then I will chop off the heads of all these good-for-nothings, hang their corpses high on the city walls for public display, and then recruit talented individuals to join the Imperial Observatory."
Pei Dafu's heart couldn't help but tremble, but he still smiled sweetly and flattered: "Your Majesty is kind and benevolent. If these people are really mediocre and unable to help the people avoid disaster and bring happiness, then they would not regret it if they died ten thousand times."
The emperor had a half-smile on his face, but he said nothing.
Pei Dafu glanced down and said comfortingly, "Your Majesty, the granaries you secretly ordered to be built are already filled with new grain. Even if there is a snowstorm in Yanjing, with your precautions, the people of Yanjing will surely be able to survive this difficult time."
The emperor's brows finally relaxed a little, and he said in a deep voice, "Pass the order down. All classes at Yanjing Academy will be suspended. Also, order Jiang Tingsong to keep a close eye on those two brats, Lin Yuzan and Wang Cheng, for the next two days. Don't let them fail in the special examination and bring shame to Zhizhi."
A smile flashed across Pei Dafu's eyes, and he quickly retreated.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped out of the palace, he bumped into the prince who had been squatting at the door for a long time.
Sheng Hongtong fell to the ground and immediately turned the tables: "Pei Dafu, you are so bold, you actually dared to bump into this prince, I must fine you your salary."
Pei Dafu's eyes twitched uncontrollably. In order to earn money for his business in the palace, this young master had already scammed several eunuchs in charge, but he was too embarrassed to ask his master for money.
The old eunuch is tired: after coaxing the older one, he has to coax the younger one!
He said politely, "Your Highness, you don't have to deduct my salary. I will pay the compensation myself."
As he said this, he took out his purse from his sleeve and handed it over.
"Your Highness, I still need to pass on the imperial edict, so I won't play with you any more."
Sheng Hongtong stood up with satisfaction. He stuck his head out to peek inside the palace and saw that his father was busy reviewing memorials and had no time to pay attention to him. He then caught up with Pei Dafu and asked curiously, "Pei Dafu, where are you going? Is my father going to kill someone again?"
Pei Dafu didn't hide anything and replied truthfully, "Your Highness, Princess Anping feared further snowfall, making it difficult for students to return home, so she dismissed the Imperial Girls' School early. Upon hearing this, His Majesty also ordered the Yanjing Academy to begin its annual holiday.
Sheng Hongtong: ⊙w⊙, early holiday? Then he wouldn’t have to deal with Jiang Hemian, who was always bullying him by taking advantage of his age!!!
The little boy was overjoyed and ran away with the purse.
Pei Dafu watched the young master's cheerful back, shook his head, and sighed softly: "I wonder when the Crown Prince will be able to share His Majesty's worries. Alas! Princess Le'an is so young, but she already knows how to make His Majesty happy."
Sheng Hongtong was completely unaware that he had been unintentionally outshined by Xiao Yining again. He ran back to Zehua Hall excitedly and shared the good news with Lin Yinhu who was struggling with his homework.
"Brother Hu, you can leave the palace now. My father has ordered all schools in Yanjing to have their Lunar New Year holidays early. Finally, we don't have to face that old man Jiang Hemian anymore."
"Boom!"
The pen in Lin Yinhu's hand fell instantly, and the big characters he had written with great difficulty were ruined.
He raised his head with tears streaming down his face, his lips trembling slightly: "I can finally go back!"
The naughty child was speechless by his friend's reaction: "You could have left the palace, but you had to listen to my useless cousin-in-law and insisted on waiting until the academy was on vacation before leaving the palace."
Lin Yinhu choked up and retorted, "My uncle is doing this for my own good. He's afraid that if I leave the palace, something bad will happen to me because of him, so he even told me not to go back for Sister Qing's birthday. He's entrusting me to you, Your Highness."
Sheng Hongtong thought he was being entrusted with an important task, and even straightened his back a little. He nodded seriously and said seriously, "Although my cousin-in-law is not very capable, his consideration is not wrong. Hu Ge'er is indeed safe in the palace. Those thieves who want to assassinate my cousin-in-law can't get in."
As soon as these words fell, Lin Yinhu seemed to have touched upon something sad, and he actually buried his head in tears, "My uncle and aunt are so good to me, thinking about me every day."
Seeing this, the naughty kid was about to say a few words of comfort, but the next moment, he became the one to be comforted.
Lin Yinhu howled twice, his mind filled with the urgency of returning home. He hurriedly stood up, walked to his friend, and held out his hand: "Your Highness, what birthday gift have you prepared for Sister Qing? I can give it to her when I leave the palace."
The naughty child was horrified and pushed his hand back, reminding him, "Didn't I already give her a birthday gift? I gave the chessboard that Qiu Xianzhi gave to my father to Sister Qing."
Lin Yinhu blinked away his tears and asked doubtfully, "Your Majesty's things should be considered gifts from His Majesty, right? Didn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally prepare a birthday gift for Sister Qing?"
Sheng Hongtong: (wДw)
"How can this be considered a gift from my father?" The naughty kid broke down.
"Why not?" Lin Yinhu responded innocently.
The two little ones stood facing each other, each holding their own opinion.
Finally, the honest young man suddenly had an idea and blurted out: "Your Highness, you don't have no money to prepare a birthday gift!"
Sheng Hongtong retorted with his eyes wide open: "How is that possible!"
Seeing this, Xiao Shunzi shook his head helplessly and interrupted with a sigh: "Your Highness, Master Lin, even if His Majesty orders a holiday, we still have to do the lessons of Old Tutor Jiang today. He is waiting in the palace school, collecting the lessons so that we can go home."
Two little ones: ...
Two explosions sounded above Zehua Palace.
There were also many exclamations in the school of Yanjing, all because of the uproar caused by the emperor's order.
The streets, which had seemed deserted due to the heavy snow, were now bustling with traffic and people returning home in an endless stream, making it even more lively than during the holidays.
On top of a restaurant somewhere on the street, several men stood there, looking down at the bustling scene below.
One of them had a thoughtful look in his eyes and murmured softly, "Could it be that he already knew that there would be heavy snow in Yanjing? Isn't the director of the Imperial Astronomical Observatory one of ours?"
The person beside him responded, "According to the news from the palace, that person seems to have interfered with the school's holiday arrangements because the girls' school had to close early, and ordered the students to return home."
After saying this, the man turned to look at Qiu Xianzhi, who was enjoying his drink, and said dissatisfiedly, "Brother Qiu, the person you chose is truly unreliable. He was actually plotted against by a girl in the girls' school and was even taken away by the Dali Temple. If our affairs were to be leaked, the people on Xuanping Hou's side would definitely treat us as abandoned pawns and ruin our cooperation."
Qiu Xianzhi remained calm and composed, smiling calmly, "It's okay. Although Yan Shiye was taken away by the Dali Temple, he only knew that he was the one who provided the answer, and he didn't know anything else. Besides, we have always acted cautiously and left no obvious clues. Even if the Dali Temple investigates, it will be difficult to trace it back to us."
Then, he changed the subject, "Instead of worrying about whether we'll be exposed, you should focus on Marquis Xuanping. His most proud eldest son was killed in a dismembered corpse, and he can no longer contain his anger. If he gets carried away and ruins our plans, all of us will be wiped out by him."
A fierce glint flashed in the man's eyes. "Sheng Jingchen harmed my Ru'er. I will tear him and his son into pieces to avenge my Ru'er. I heard that the secret passage from the girls' school to the palace has been found. Is it true?"
"I heard from the people on Marquis Xuanping's side that Shangguan Guiqing's grandson has already gotten the truth out of Princess Le'an. There are some strange things happening in Shouyaotang and there are always some unknown female doctors appearing. We need secret agents to investigate the details. It's a pity that Qingxin was also killed by Yan Shi, otherwise she could have gone to investigate the truth." Another person replied.
"Okay, then I will personally lead people to the palace to capture the tyrant alive." The man said with gritted teeth, with unspeakable hatred in his eyes.
