After rebirth, I kidnapped the future powerful official

Chapter 254

The next day, He Jiabei left Guangping Palace early in the morning and came to Qunfang Pavilion to look for Pei Daozhu.

"As soon as I graduate from Shangwutang, we can be together forever." He Jiabei held Pei Daozhu's hands tightly and said with a smile.

"Yeah, I can finally leave here." Pei Daozhu was also very happy, and personally poured him a cup of tea.

Aunt Xu rushed in at this moment, and laughed loudly, "Oh, congratulations."

As he spoke, he stretched out a hand to He Jiabei and said, "Bring it."

He Jiabei was taken aback when he heard the words, and said blankly: "What are you taking?"

Aunt Xu said: "What else? Silver taels. Last time you beat the gongs and drums, announced to the world, and publicly announced that our Daozhu has escaped from the world and wants to marry you. If she wants to marry someone, she must redeem herself first!"

He Jiabei pursed his lips, and said: "Of course we have to redeem ourselves! Our Guangping Palace is a noble family, how can we rush into a wedding? We have to choose a good day and auspicious date first, and then find a matchmaker to come over and make an appointment. Etiquette, etiquette is indispensable. Therefore, the day of the appointment is the time when I redeem myself for Daozhu and marry Daozhu."

After hearing this, Mrs. Xu curled her lips in displeasure, and said, "Okay, then I'll wait for you to apply first."

After speaking, she turned and left.

Pei Daozhu smiled and said, "I thought Aunt Xu was going to be angry again."

After hearing this, He Jiabei asked with some puzzlement: "Why, did you offend her again?"

Pei Daozhu smiled wryly, and said, "Of course she won't be happy without a cash cow."

He Jiabei pursed his lips when he heard the words, grabbed her hands and said, "Actually, I lied just now."

Pei Daozhu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "What?"

With a heavy heart, He Jiabei said: "Because something happened at home recently, I can't redeem you for the time being."

"Ah?" Pei Daozhu was shocked when he heard that.

He Jiabei hurriedly comforted: "However, you don't have to worry, it's just a trivial matter, and it will be resolved soon."

Pei Daozhu nodded slightly, and said, "Okay, it's fine."

He Jiabei sighed softly, and said: "I also went through hardships to get Dad to finally agree to our marriage. This marriage was destined in a previous life."

"Really?" Pei Daozhu blinked and said.

He Jiabei smiled, and said: "Yeah! Let's talk about something happy, talk about after we get married, you must give me a fat baby as soon as possible."

Pei Daozhu smiled and said nothing, just lowered his head, not sure if it was because of shyness.

"Are you not willing?" Seeing this, He Jiabei joked with a smile, "If you are not willing, I will take a concubine."

Pei Daozhu snorted, and said coquettishly, "How dare you?"

He Jiabei held her hand with a smile and said, "Don't dare, definitely dare not!"

After hearing this, Pei Daozhu smiled happily.

But at this time in the palace, Prince Jin was playing chess with the emperor, and the emperor who was coaxing him smiled openly, very happy.

"It's a good move to encircle Wei and save Zhao. Then, I'll give you a drudgery." After the emperor finished speaking, he gave a decisive blow.

"Good chess!" Prince Jin flattered and flattered: "The emperor turned things around."

The emperor smiled triumphantly: "Go is like this, it's called turning around. You think I'm going to lose, but it will be clear soon."

Prince Jin quickly praised: "The emperor is wise, the emperor is wise!"

The emperor didn't want to finish, he pushed the chessboard and said with a smile: "Come on, let's play another game, let's play another game."

At this moment, Concubine Yao came over with a few maids and nuns, Yingying bowed her knees and said: "My concubine sees the emperor."

Prince Jin hurriedly stood up and bowed to her: "I have seen your mother."

The emperor looked at Concubine Yao and said, "My dear concubine, you have a big belly, please keep the etiquette simple, please sit down."

Said, ordered the maid to support Concubine Yao to sit on the stool beside her.

Prince Jin sat back in his seat and said to Concubine Yao: "Your Majesty seems to be in good spirits."

The emperor said: "The imperial doctor has said that my concubine will be ready soon."

Upon hearing this, Prince Jin hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, Your Majesty gave birth to a prince early."

"Thank you, Uncle Emperor." Concubine Yao said with a smile.

Prince Jin smiled a few times, then suddenly remembered something, and said, "By the way, I almost forgot that there was a flood in Sichuan recently. I can only arrive in the capital a few days later, I hope the emperor will not blame him."

The emperor nodded slightly, and said: "He Aiqing is in charge of the congratulatory gift, and I don't know who comes first."

As he said that, he looked at the eunuch beside him and said, "Eunuch An, has the congratulatory gift arrived yet?"

The eunuch bowed and said, "My Majesty, the crown prince's congratulatory gift has not yet been sent to the palace."

Hearing this, the emperor stopped arranging the chess pieces in his hand,

Prince Jin pretended to be ignorant and asked, "No way? Could something be wrong?"

The emperor was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Why did the emperor say such a thing?"

Prince Jin said solemnly: "As far as I know, the prince is about to be born, and the whole country celebrates it. The congratulatory gifts for the prince from all over the country have been transported to the capital as early as a month ago. Of course, the road is long and short, but it can't be done. Delay until today."

After hearing this, the emperor's eyes darkened slightly, and he said in doubt: "This is really strange!"

So he hurriedly sent someone to summon He Zixu to the imperial study.

He Zixu hurried over and saw that Prince Jin was also there, he couldn't help being stunned, then looked at the sullen emperor, knelt on the ground, bowed respectfully and said: "My humble servant sees the emperor."

The emperor waved his hand and said flatly, "Free from courtesy."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." He Zixu stood up from the ground, and said, "The Emperor hastily summoned my servants to enter the palace, what is the important matter?"

The emperor asked sternly, "He Aiqing, why haven't the congratulatory gifts sent by the military envoys been sent to the palace yet?"

He Zixu arched his hands and said, "Reporting to the emperor, the congratulatory gifts are being counted and verified, and they will arrive in the capital in a few days."

At this time, Prince Jin snorted, and said: "Concubine Yao Gui is about to give birth, and the congratulatory gift is a festive gift. Your Majesty, if there is a delay, wouldn't it be a big spoiler?"

After hearing this, the emperor narrowed his eyes, looked at He Zixu with a serious face and asked, "He Aiqing, could something be wrong?"

He Zixu was flustered when he heard the words, knowing that the fire could not be covered with paper, and this matter would not be concealed sooner or later, so he knelt down and said: "The old minister deserves death, please forgive me."

The emperor frowned and said, "Get up and talk first."

He Zixu didn't get up, but knelt there and cupped his hands and said, "Reporting to the emperor, the old minister is not doing his job well, and the congratulatory gift was unfortunately stolen during the escort."

The emperor was taken aback when he heard this, and asked, "The gift was stolen? Who did it?"

He Zixu raised his head slightly and said, "The old minister is still under investigation."

The emperor asked sharply: "Since you already know that the congratulatory gift was stolen, why didn't you report it to me immediately?"

He Zixu's hands were trembling, and he said: "The old minister wanted to make up for his mistakes, secretly track down and catch the thieves, so he didn't dare to alarm the emperor."

The emperor didn't speak, and the prince of Jin who was on the side hurriedly shouted: "The congratulatory gift is expensive, and this lawless person will inevitably stare at it."
