The next day.

It was Hong Zheng who came in and shouted through the bead curtain to get up.

Pei Yao had to go to court, so he got up earlier than Fang Yoong who went to Wutong Garden to pay his respects.

Now that the Crown Princess is ill, there is no need to go to greet her, so during this period of time, Fang Yun always gets up after sleeping enough, which makes her a bit lazy.

At this moment, Pei Yao was woken up, and she also woke up, but she was a little confused, so she turned over in bed first.

When Hui Hui went to bed with her, Pei Yao and Fang Yun were covered with the same quilt, so Fang Yun was rubbing against him.

"If you're still sleepy, just sleep a little longer. You don't have to get up to serve." Pei Yao turned sideways and stopped her waist.

As he spoke, he rubbed the top of Fang Yun's hair with his chin.

In the harsh winter, who doesn’t want to lie in a warm bed without getting up.

"Your Highness, it's cold outside." Fang Yun answered the question with a charming nasal voice.

He turned around and buried his face in Pei Yao's chest.

Pei Yao couldn't help but curl his lips and whispered, "No matter how cold you are, you still have to go to court."

"Your Highness, thank you for your hard work." Fang Yun raised his eyes to look at him, his beautiful eyes were sleepy, and his hand went up and hooked Pei Yao's neck, "I, please get up with Your Highness."

This coquettish behavior made Pei Yao's heart itch.

Unable to hold back, he lowered his head and pecked her bright red lips.

Fang Yun didn't expect that Pei Yao would take the initiative to do such a thing. He woke up from a nap for a while and looked at him blankly.

Pei Yao raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Didn't you tell me to get up with Gu? Why don't you get up quickly?"

After such a fuss for a while, Fang Yun couldn't sleep, thinking that she was just being polite.

Soon, Qingrong and Yanwei brought in their clothes.

After dressing and washing, breakfast has been placed on the table outside.

The two of them sat down and used it together.

It was also at this moment that Fuxi came to the courtyard outside.

Usually Hong Zheng follows Pei Yao, and Fu Xi usually stays in the front yard. If he comes here now, something must be wrong.

Sure enough, Hong Zheng came into the room a moment later and whispered to Pei Yao, "Your Highness, the news from outside is that the eldest prince and the second prince will be able to arrive in the capital this afternoon to report their duties to the palace."

Pei Yao was drinking porridge at the moment. He didn't say anything immediately after hearing this. After drinking a spoonful slowly, he picked up the handkerchief and wiped his mouth before saying calmly.

"It seems that he has been traveling day and night and is eager to return to the palace to receive the reward."

"The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the eldest prince also wants to receive the reward before the end of the year so that he can celebrate the New Year."

Hong Zheng smiled and answered.

Fang Yun, who was sitting next to him, remained silent and just ate.

Just listen, it's not a good idea to interrupt.

Sure enough, after hearing Hong Zheng's teasing, Pei Yao just chuckled and didn't continue.

After breakfast, Fang Yun personally sent Pei Yao off.

I watched his back at the entrance of the courtyard, and after he had gone far, I turned around and went to the east wing to see the child and then returned to the room.

"I'm afraid this year's Chinese New Year will be a lively one. I wonder what rewards the eldest prince will receive." Fang Yun looked out the window with a hint of amusement in his eyes.

Yanwei brought a cup of hot tea over and said with a chuckle, "I don't understand the affairs of the government, but I'm thinking that the eldest prince is back, and the female relatives in his back house are afraid that they will start a quarrel again."

After saying this, Fang Yun smiled a little and took the tea cup.

"Yes, my sister-in-law has been nursing her body for so long after giving birth. She probably wants to compete for favors earlier."

"She has been sick for so long, but I don't know what is going on now. She may not be able to get up."

Qingrong answered from the side.

Fang Yun took a sip of tea and said, "She can't get up, and there are always others to help her earn it. Aunt Rong's child has been born, right? I have never cared about the drought, plague, and plague during this period."

When mentioning this matter, Qingrong pursed her lips and chuckled.

"Aunt Rong is so lucky to have a baby. The master is very happy. But for some reason, Madam, the baby was ill for a few days after he was born."

"I guess you are tired from taking care of Aunt Rong after giving birth." Fang Yun smiled lightly on his face, rubbed the rim of the cup with his slender fingers, and said softly, "Go to the warehouse to pick some good things and send them back to Aunt Rong as a reward. Give them to Fang

She has worked hard to have a baby in the family, and my wife also sent some medicinal materials to nourish the body. As a daughter, I have to fulfill my filial piety."

Qingrong immediately nodded after hearing this.

But before she could walk out, Fang Yun stopped her again and added.

"My eldest sister works hard in the eldest prince's palace. Aunt Rong often serves my father. I should remind my father a few words, so that my father will not always be at odds with his wife, and he will not neglect my eldest sister."

"Liang Di, don't worry, I'll take it easy for you!"

Qingrong bowed and said neatly.

Afternoon, Imperial Study Room.

Emperor Chengjing looked at the dusty eldest prince with a smile on his face.

"Zecheng, you have done a lot of good work this time when you went north to provide disaster relief. I have read all the notes handed over there. You have done a good job. I can finally breathe a sigh of relief!"

When he said this, Emperor Chengjing didn't even glance at the second prince, let alone Pei Yao and several other ministers. At this moment, he was full of satisfaction because he was such a big boy.

At this moment, the eldest prince also pretended to bow his hands and said respectfully.

"It is the duty of a minister to relieve his father's worries and do things for the people. I dare not claim to have done meritorious service. As long as the father is at ease and the people are well, then the minister will be satisfied."

"That's well said." Emperor Chengjing nodded with great satisfaction, "Father is deeply pleased that you have such a heart, but this time you should be rewarded based on your merits. Tell me what reward you want."

Pei Yao watched coldly from the side, only feeling funny in his heart.

When I first came back, I didn’t even mention my work report. I just relied on the few notes I had handed back before and couldn’t wait to award the reward. I really felt sorry for my son.

But the eldest prince is his biological son, isn’t the second prince?

Such obvious partiality did not worry the Second Prince's heart.

Thinking of this, Pei Yao glanced at the second prince without leaving a trace, and saw that the second prince looked indifferent, as if the matter of merit and reward had nothing to do with him.

Obviously, he no longer expected Emperor Chengjing to see him.

It's just that Emperor Chengjing didn't remember it this time. He didn't expect that the eldest prince would also break his promise.

The previous promise to the second prince that he would take credit for his kind words in front of Emperor Chengjing was not mentioned at all.

Of course, maybe it was because the second prince had previously reminded the eldest prince that Pei Yao was corrupt, but in the end, the eldest prince's group not only exposed the mistake, but also suffered a lot of losses.

However, if the father and son don't talk about it, Pei Yao, the cousin, will naturally talk about it.

After all, the second prince went north, but he was the one who sent him there.

So when the eldest prince pretended to be humble and refused to accept the reward, allowing Emperor Chengjing to take the initiative to say the word "king of king", Pei Yao stood up at that moment.

"Uncle Emperor, this time Zecheng went north to provide disaster relief. He has indeed made great contributions. According to Uncle Emperor's wishes, he has been married for many years and has been in the court for many years. He should indeed have a title long ago, but..."

"Just what?"

Emperor Chengjing couldn't help but frown.

He instinctively felt that Pei Yao was afraid of the eldest prince and would say something to stop him from making the eldest prince king, so he was a little unhappy and defensive at the moment.

Similarly, the eldest prince, Prime Minister Li and others all looked at him with very unkind eyes.

But no one expected what Pei Yao said next.

"It's just that the credit this time is shared by Zecheng and Zeyi. Zeyi has also been married a long time ago and has been working in the court. He has also been practical and diligent these years. The emperor's uncle might as well take this opportunity to knight them together. This way

It also prevents others from criticizing me for being partial."

After all, they are all your biological sons. If you want to be crowned king, let’s do it together.

It’s the end of the month. Dear friends, I have recommendation votes and monthly votes. I hope you can vote for me more and compare your feelings.
