Chapter 207: Don't take other people's money as money
His Majesty the Emperor sat in the warm pavilion, tapping his fingers on the table one by one. He was so distraught at the moment that he didn't even have the heart to look at the recital. He glanced faintly at Gonggong Qi beside him and asked, "How is the banquet?"
Gonggong Qi was more busy and approached and said, "Back to Your Majesty, the banquet is about to start." ”
His Majesty the Emperor bowed his head, but then, as if he had thought of one more thing, he asked, "Such a neku?"
When Gonggong Qi heard His Majesty mention Neiku, he immediately perked up. He already knew that His Majesty's heart was nothing more than to feel sorry for his own silver. And with the precedent of opening the inner library this time, these court ministers may not know how to pit His Majesty in the future, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the inner library is their back garden.
Gonggong Qi hesitated for a moment, and then said in embarrassment: "The slave doesn't know." ”
His Majesty the Emperor's brows furrowed, "You don't know?" he said in a puzzled and slightly dissatisfied tone: "The factory guard is so huge, how many white flowers of silver are smashed into it every year, you actually say you don't know. ”
Seeing that His Majesty was angry, Gonggong Qi was busier and said, "The slave should die." Actually, how can he not know this kind of thing. It's nothing more than Liu Haifeng's old thing, and the silver in the inner library has been spent, but he doesn't dare to say it.
His Majesty the Emperor was still angry, and he scolded sharply: "What do you want?" ”
Gonggong Qi was so frightened that his hands began to tremble, and his body began to tremble with disobedience. At this moment, his forehead was already covered with sweat the size of beans, falling one by one. "Your Majesty, the slave and maid are dead. "Gonggong Qi knows His Majesty's temperament, and his anger comes and goes quickly. Today, it was my turn to be unlucky, and I happened to touch the bad head of His Majesty the Emperor.
His Majesty the Emperor glared at Gonggong Qi, then sighed heavily and said, "Get up." ”
Gonggong Qi heard His Majesty's order, but he still fell to the ground. He understood that if he rose up immediately, it might not be enough to soothe His Majesty's anger, so he chose to fall to his knees next. His voice trembled, as if he had the strength to say, "The slave doesn't dare." ”
When His Majesty the Emperor heard this, he seemed to feel that some of his words had been too intense, so he changed his kind tone and said again: "Let you get up, and then get up." ”
Only then did Father-in-law Qi get up, and he rubbed it as if his knees were hurting. There is a reason why he can always serve by His Majesty the Emperor's side. The most important thing is not how to look at it and come to things, in fact, the most important thing is that he can act.
Every time, as long as he goes to summon, he must come back with a sigh of breath and make a hard and tired appearance. But if you do something, you have to shout out ten points if you do five points. He wants His Majesty to see his hard work, his heart.
His Majesty the Emperor didn't embarrass Father-in-law Qi anymore, but just got up from his seat and began to pace with his hands behind his back. Gonggong Qi followed cautiously, and from time to time he heard His Majesty the Emperor's exclamation: "Actually, if you don't say it, how can you not know it, it's nothing more than Liu Haifeng, the old immortal, who spent all my money." ”
At this point, His Majesty the Emperor paused, as if to say something sad, and after a while he pondered for a while, he continued: "That old fellow is stingy with his own and the treasury's silver, but once he treats other people's silver, it will be much more extravagant. It's like, like, like what?"
Father-in-law Qi hurriedly added: "Don't take other people's money as money." "This passage,
Gonggong Qi had heard His Majesty the Emperor say it more than ten times, and he was almost able to memorize it. As for what His Majesty the Emperor was going to say next, he already knew.
"Yes, just don't take other people's money as money. His Majesty the Emperor gritted his teeth, he was still angry, and said angrily: "One day, I must dismiss his official, let him go home to retire, and not give him a penny." ”
Father-in-law Qi was busy saying yes, but he knew that His Majesty would change his mind soon, and he was tired of hearing these words.
Sure enough, after His Majesty the Emperor reprimanded him, he really sighed and said: "I am just talking, how can such a humerus minister say that he will be dismissed." ”
"Alright, it's almost time, let's go to the banquet. His Majesty the Emperor waved his hand, and walked out of the warm pavilion without looking back.
In the side hall, there was already a lot of people. There were a lot of people at today's banquet. However, most of them are also ministers and children of the royal family in this court. Only a small part, like Xiaohua, had no official or relatives, and were invited.
The seating arrangement of the banquet is very particular, His Majesty the Emperor sits in the middle, and the Empress Niang sits next to it. The prince of the southerners has not yet arrived at this time, but many of the positions on the left hand side closest to His Majesty the Emperor are left for the southerners. And the seat of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also very cleverly arranged, I don't know whether it is meaningful or unintentional, just sitting opposite the Prince of the South.
The banquet had not yet begun, but many ministers had already arrived. The emperor has a treat, how can they be late.
The five Xiaohua people, at this time, happened to step in from the door. Wu Zheng looked at the plates of dishes that had already been laid out, and couldn't help but swallow.
Xiaohua glanced at Wu Zheng in vain, and said in her heart that it would be a shame if this product was salivating.
Falling dust came in, in fact, I was also surprised. But he knew his mission, looking for a drink.
But at this moment, Hua Baishi said confidently: "Follow me." "Here, he is the elder of Xiaohua and others, so he naturally wants to be like an elder. So, he swaggered inside with the four of them.
However, at this moment, he was stopped by a small eunuch. "Where are you going?"
Hua Baishi frowned, and said lightly, naturally he came to attend the banquet. After that, he didn't want to pay attention to the little eunuch in front of him anymore, so he brushed his sleeves and left.
Who knows, but the little eunuch sneered and said, "Your seat is in the back, where are you going?" ”
Xiaohua originally had no prejudice against eunuchs, but since she saw this little eunuch, she unconsciously began to despise the profession of eunuchs. This gang of dogs fights people's power, and he wants to fight once he sees it.
Hua Baishi obviously didn't expect this kind of situation, he frowned, thinking that he had been beautiful for most of his life, and now he was reduced to the situation of sitting at the end of the banquet. He wanted to explain, he wanted to say that he was invited by the head of the household. But when he thought of the way he and Liu Haifeng had shown off before, he was immediately deflated. This old man wants revenge!
Although he was unwilling, Hua Baishi still swallowed this breath stiffly. He didn't argue with the eunuch in front of him anymore, after all, this was the palace. So, Hua Baishi turned around gloomily, walked towards the nearest place near the door, and then sat down.
Flower Baishi is like this, but not generation
Xiaohua will be willing, he glared angrily at the little eunuch in front of him. His eyes were full of murderous intent, as if to say, "This son killed you." ”
The little eunuch was a little frightened by Xiaohua's staring, he had seen this kind of battle there. The only murderous scene he had ever witnessed in his life was when he entered the palace, when he was cut into something indescribable, and he remembered that he cried heartbreakingly.
And now, that kind of killing intent has reappeared again, and the little eunuch is so frightened that he doesn't dare to speak for a while. The reason why he was so bold just now was because he knew that these people were neither relatives of the emperor nor ministers of the imperial court. But he never expected that he would kick the iron plate today. He was a little scared, and his legs began to recede unconsciously.
Xiaohua sneered, and her evil expression was so frightened in the eyes of the little eunuch. But at this moment, a slender and white hand appeared on Xiaohua's shoulder. The hand patted Xiaohua lightly on the shoulder, and then said lightly in Xiaohua's ear, "Don't make trouble." ”
Xiaohua glared at the little eunuch one last time, then clenched her fists and turned around suddenly. When he sat down, he found that Wu Zheng's goods were already salivating. Well, this product is not that you can't walk when you see a beautiful woman, but that you can't walk when you see food.
Xiaohua could feel that Wu Zheng was already trying his best to suppress the ** in his heart that wanted to eat. But the dust is falling, and this thing is already holding a wine glass and starting to drink on its own. But it was such an indecent act, in Xiaohua's opinion, it was normal and harmonious.
Many guests are still talking, most of them are people who are in the court, and their mouths are first-class. Before everyone was noticing, a young man strode through the door. Behind it was an old man in a gray robe. After that, there were messengers.
The sudden arrival of these people attracted Wu Zheng's attraction from food. He clearly saw that the young man at the head was magnificent, and there was a scimitar hanging from his waist. Wu Zheng stretched his neck curiously and asked Xiaohua on the side: "Could this person be the prince of the Nanren?" ”
Who knows, before Xiaohua could answer, the man suddenly looked at Wu Zheng and snorted disdainfully. Can this also be heard? Wu Zheng felt a little incredulous, and said in his heart that the prince would not hold a grudge against himself.
Xiaohua looked at Wu Zheng like an idiot, you must know that some people can improve their sensory abilities through cultivation. What's more, there are also people whose senses are inherently different. For example, the dust in front of me who is drinking is one. Wu Zheng is still too imprudent.
The prince of the southern people was arrogant and seemed to be very disdainful of this banquet. I saw him swaggering away, not paying any attention to the many ministers in front of him. When everyone saw the young man in front of them, they all fell silent and focused their attention on him.
The young man was not polite, and in full view of everyone, he sat down in his place, stretched out his hand, and began to grab the meat from the plate and eat it.
"That's too unqualified, isn't it? Wu Zheng pouted, he was not so greedy to this extent.
Xiaohua glanced at Wu Zheng, and said angrily: "You can eat it too." ”
"Can I eat too?" Wu Zheng was a little excited, joking, he had been hungry for this banquet for a day.
"Hurry up and stop your mouth" Xiaohua didn't want to pay attention to Wu Zheng anymore, in his opinion, Wu Zheng would die on his mouth sooner or later.
