He suddenly turned around and sat on the stone bench, looking at Zhou Jingan who was holding the chess piece opposite him. He looked indifferent, but also angry and aggrieved.
"I've been so busy these past few days that I just want to relax for half a day. I came here just to be lazy. How could I have the heart to play chess with you?"
Zhou Jing'an couldn't help laughing and silently put away the chessboard.
It was clearly him who told me not to interfere, but now that I'm so tired, I come to complain to him.
"Then what does the emperor want to do? I will accompany you without further ado."
Feng Yu folded his folding fan, lay down on the recliner beside him, and closed his eyes leisurely.
"I don't want to do anything. Your new courtyard is very cool. There's a cool breeze even without ice."
Zhou Jing'an nodded, "Grandma took the trouble to find this courtyard. It's warm in winter and cool in summer, and the scenery is nice. It's perfect for Ling'er to raise her baby."
Then he looked at Feng Yu again, "But the ice that the emperor promised not to mention must be delivered on time and in the right quantity. You cannot go back on your word."
Jiang Ling was afraid of heat, and she couldn't afford to be exposed to the summer heat after she became pregnant. He had already promised her before and repeatedly assured her that he would make her feel comfortable and happy in the summer.
Feng Yu sighed softly and opened his eyes.
"I am the Emperor, my word is law. How can I deceive you with a little ice?"
At this time, he called himself "I" again, which made Zhou Jing'an laugh.
Speaking of this, Feng Yu glanced towards the inner hall of Qiyun Pavilion. From time to time, he could hear the sound of women laughing and chatting. He laughed and said, "Ning An is now over eight months old. She is even more spoiled than when Huai Huaxu was little. She wants to go out of the palace every few days and even wants to talk to Jiang Ling. She says she is bored in the palace."
After saying this, he fanned himself again, revealing a leisurely demeanor. "But I also took this opportunity to leave the palace and chat with you. Otherwise, those ministers would always trip me up with memorials, and I wouldn't even have the chance to have fun."
Zhou Jing'an picked up the tea and took a sip. "Nowadays, we are in a peaceful and prosperous era. The civil and military officials in the court are all pillars of the country. They are all working hard to achieve great things. The emperor should listen more to them."
"Of course I know." Feng Yu also drank a sip of tea, and suddenly thought of Chang Wei, feeling quite emotional.
"On the day of the execution, I went to see Chang Wei. He kowtowed and kept apologizing. It made me feel sad."
Zhou Jing'an was also silent. "Back then, Marquis Pingyang followed the late emperor to fight on the battlefield and made so many contributions. It's really..."
What a pity and lament.
Feng Yu sighed softly, "I gave him poisoned wine so that he wouldn't be spitted on by the people and wouldn't stand on the execution ground."
In fact, he wanted to protect him, but he could not protect either the country or the people.
Chang Wei was too ashamed to live in this world anymore, so he pleaded with him again and again to order the beheading as soon as possible.
That day in prison, Chang Wei knelt on the ground with tears streaming down his face. His voice was earnest and his words were sonorous. From Feng Yu's direction, he could only see his gray hair and his gradually hunched body.
Both of them fell silent.
The sun was shining brightly, and the carps in the lake were still jumping happily and freely.
