Chapter 439
"Try to see if it's like this." Taishang Huang pointed to the teacup and said.

Qiu Changsheng began to taste it like a sip, and shook his head directly, "Although it is good tea, it is not the taste in memory. Maybe we used to drink wild tea from mountains, which is rare."

The Supreme Emperor couldn't help sighing when he heard the words, "Jiangnan is a good place!"

"Changsheng, let me ask you, what do you think of the position of empress?" The Supreme Emperor suddenly stared at Qiu Changsheng.

Qiu Changsheng was stunned for a moment, put down the teacup and said respectfully: "The empress position is vacant, and it's time to establish a new empress. If the emperor has someone he likes to choose a concubine, he will naturally support it."

"You don't want to take the position yourself?" Taishang Huang asked, frowning.

Qiu Changsheng shook his head resolutely, "I'm fine now, and I don't need to be in charge. I come to you every morning to drink tea, play chess, and go back to have lunch and take a short rest. After noon, I get up to exercise for a while, read books and paint pictures Hong, it's very comfortable, and at dusk when Hun'er comes back, I can have dinner with him, life is fulfilling and happy, why can't I miss that position."

The Taishang Emperor's expression froze, "What's this called? It's a place that others can't even think about, but when you come here, you can't even think about it!"

Qiu Changsheng stuck out his tongue and said with a smile: "Father, I'm just telling you what's on my mind, don't worry about it, besides, you know my bones, but I can't work hard, if I become a queen, I won't be able to hold the phoenix seal , wouldn’t it be a joke! Why do you say I’m doing this?”

The Supreme Emperor looked as if he hated iron for being weak, shook his head and said, "Don't think about making progress!"

"Father, I'm very motivated. How about I write you a few words now, and you can see if my writing has improved?"

The Supreme Emperor: "."

The emperor received the news that day, and while reviewing the memorial, he smiled helplessly and shook his head. There are so many women around him, of all kinds, but she is the only one with such a clear and resolute mind. Perhaps it is also because of this That's why he taught his son so well, thinking of the Twelve Princes.

The emperor's face softened involuntarily, and he asked the Grand Duke, "The Twelve Princes are in the Imperial College now?"

The Grand Duke hurriedly replied respectfully: "My Majesty, the Twelve Princes should be studying in the Dingbei Hou Mansion with the son of the Dingbei Marquis and the Pingnan Marquis."

The emperor just looked dazed, as if the child had told him some time ago that the two cousins ​​in Dingbei Hou's family were very knowledgeable, and he wanted to go and study with the two cousins ​​for half a day. Both go.

Thinking of this, he frowned, and said: "When the twelve princes return to the palace, let him come to see me, and I will test his homework."

"Hey!" The grand duke replied with a happy face, took a peek at the emperor, and asked, "Your majesty, do you want to test the skills of the twelve princes by the way?"

Ning Chengyun raised his eyebrows, "How?"

The Grand Duke quickly explained: "I heard that the Twelve Princes practiced martial arts with Marquis Pingnan, but I have only heard about Marquis Pingnan's skills, but I have never seen them before. .”

Ning Chengyun: "."

What kind of things are around him!Want to piss him off?

When the twelfth prince returned to the palace, Ning Chengyun immediately put the topic he had written in front of him, and said, "I heard that the emperor has been studying with Prince Dingbeihou and Prince Pingnanhou this time, just to test you foundation."

"Yes!" Ning Hehui replied confidently, but it made Ning Chengyun look sideways, seeing himself in a daze. When he was a child, everyone was in awe of his father, only he was not afraid of anything, and his father said that he would test him For homework, he responded loudly without thinking about it, which was not at all like the reaction of his brothers.

At that time, my father's good friend once asserted that this son will be extraordinary in the future, and now everything has come true.

Ning Chengyun came back to his senses, and found that Ning Hehui was already sitting on the chair, looking at his question intently. Ning Chengyun looked away and pondered while drinking tea. This time the question was mainly about some strategies. , the center revolves around the development of Daqi, involving taxation, people's livelihood, finance, and diplomacy.

To be honest, these questions are already beyond the outline for Ning and Hui, and they can be used as imperial examination questions. He just wants to see the depth of this child and some of his views on things.

In the huge imperial study room, one sat upright and answered questions earnestly, while the other drank tea comfortably and read the memorial.

Grand Duke came in quietly, bowed his head in Ning Chengyun's ear and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the imperial concubine sent someone to ask when the twelve princes will return, and the empress has cooked the dishes herself today."

Ning Chengyun immediately raised his eyebrows, thinking to himself that this woman is not authentic, she personally washes her hands and makes soup for her son without even thinking about her husband!
Then his face darkened in an instant, and he said seriously: "Tell Concubine Xi that the Twelfth Prince will stay in the imperial study tonight to accompany me for dinner, so she won't have to work so hard!"

"This..." the Grand Duke was a little embarrassed, "Your Majesty, the imperial concubine is not in good health, and it's rare for her to cook in person. If the Twelve Princes don't come, I'm afraid I will be sad. Why don't you go to Yongshou Palace for dinner?"

"No, no, the imperial concubine didn't invite me!" Ning Chengyun suddenly said childishly.

Hearing this, Ning and Hui hurriedly put down their pens, and said, "Father, I invite you to go. If the concubine mother doesn't do your share, I will give you my share."

"The Twelve Princes are really filial!" The Grand Duke praised immediately.

"A sycophant!" Ning Chengyun glanced at the Grand Duke, but he didn't reject his son after all, and waited until Ning Hehui finished the first strategy before going to Yongshou Palace with him.

As soon as the father and son walked outside Yongshou Palace, they heard pleasant laughter from inside.

When Qiu Changsheng heard that the two of them had returned, he hurriedly got up to greet them, and said: "The emperor and Hun'er rest first, and I will go to Zhang Luo."

The emperor didn't say a word, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes when the food was served, Qiu Changsheng explained: "Your Majesty, don't blame me for not inviting you, today's meal is actually specially made for Hun'er to taste. "

There were all vegetable leaves on the dining table, some of which Ning Chengyun had seen before, and some of which had not.

Qiu Changsheng said again: "These are all wild vegetables. I found them by accident today when I was tidying up the backyard. So my concubine and a few maids had a whim and asked people to go out and find a lot of wild vegetables. What's rare is that they still found them." I bought water celery and a few wild brook fish, just to make brook fish soup."

The Grand Duke looked at the emperor with a pale face, "Your Majesty, do you want to let the imperial dining room serve a few more dishes?"

Ning Chengyun waved his hand, "Since it's my concubine's wish, I'll try it too."

Wild vegetables are not what the emperor eats, and the Grand Duke wants to persuade him again, but Ning Chengyun has already moved his chopsticks.

The attendant took a bite of each dish, and Ning Chengyun also tasted it, nodded and said: "Although it is a wild vegetable, the imperial concubine handles it very well, which really surprises me."
