Chapter 543: What do you want to ask this king?
Facing the two people who were at a loss, Ye Ziqi smiled, got up and walked to the kitchen cabinet in the corner of the dining hall.
Seeing the kitchen cabinets, Hongwen and Luyi finally knew what they were doing less.
When the two who came to their senses got up, Ye Ziqi had already come back with two bowls.
Seeing Ye Ziqi holding porridge in his hand, Luyi didn't care about the rules, and wanted to "snatch" the spoon of porridge in Ye Ziqi's hand: "Slave and maid come." ”
Ye Ziqi avoided the hand stretched out by Lu Yi: "It's okay." ”
In Lu Yi's worried expression, Ye Ziqi continued: "I believe you know some of the past of this concubine. In addition to the title of Princess Xuan given by His Royal Highness King Xuan, the titles of Princess Yixin and Princess Yongzi given by his father and mother, Concubine Ben is just a layman among all living beings in Yunni. ”
Listening to Ye Ziqi's self-proclaimed layman, Hongwen and Luyi's heart is: If people with the appearance of Princess Xuan are laymen, then what are they?
"What, did Concubine Ben say something wrong?"
Although Ye Ziqi didn't know what the two were thinking, they could still understand what the two of them meant when they misunderstood her.
Hongwen and Luyi shook their heads mechanically, how dare they say that their master is not.
"Then tell me, what did Concubine Ben just say?"
Uh, Hongwen and Luyi were dumbfounded, could they tell the truth what was in their hearts? Such vulgar terms, of course not!
The two of them looked at each other, and Ye Ziqi smiled again: "It's not a big deal, there's no need to respond." But will you betray this concubine?"
The topic jumped too fast, and the already confused brain of red text and green was even more confused.
However, Ye Ziqi's sudden serious expression made the two quickly sober up, and they said in unison: "Slaves won't!"
"What Concubine Ben wants is practical action, not lip service. ”
Of course, Ye Ziqi believes that the two will not betray her, at least not in the short term, but she wants someone as loyal as Liu Bingcheng's father and son to King Jing.
Hongwen and Luyi are both transparent people, and they immediately understood what Ye Ziqi meant just now.
"If the slave maid has no second heart for the princess, let the slave and maid thunder and thunder in the sky, and they will not die well!" Hongwen piously swore a poisonous oath.
"Slaves too!" she echoed sincerely.
"This concubine wants a loyal person, not a foolish and loyal person, so you don't have to go to the soup for the concubine, and saving your life if necessary is the best entrustment to the concubine. In other words, if you have a different heart for your concubine, what is the value of your life to your concubine?"
Ye Ziqi's words sound ruthless, but they actually contain deep meaning.
For Hongwen and Luyi, the two have always been taught that not to mention their lives, even the hair of the master is more important than their lives.
This is the first time I have heard the words of not caring about the master, but saving their own lives first, and the person who speaks is still their master, and it is false to say that they are not moved.
"Princess!"
The two of them looked moved, how could Ye Ziqi not know what the two of them would say next, and waved his hand to stop: "Concubine Ben knows what you want to say." However, the concubine will go to the Huixin Palace to accompany the mother concubine, and by the way, accompany the mother concubine to have lunch in the Huixin Palace. If there is no accident, leave the palace in the afternoon and go to Yecheng tomorrow. ”
In a few words, Ye Ziqi explained today's and even the recent events clearly.
"Sit down and have breakfast. ”
If it weren't for Ye Ziqi's reminder again, Hongwen and Luyi would have almost forgotten about the emptiness of their stomachs.
With a prior explanation, knowing that Ye Ziqi was not an idler, he did not hesitate to sit down in the position he had just sat in again.
I don't know if I don't want to delay Ye Ziqi's matter, or if I was moved by Ye Ziqi's sincerity unintentionally, although it was the first time to dine with Ye Ziqi, the two did not seem very restrained in the process.
After breakfast, Luyi cleaned up the table, and Hongwen accompanied Ye Ziqi to the main hall.
Ye Ziqi put down the ink pen and wanted to pick up the first painting that was basically dry to go to the Huixin Palace, and Yu Linhao, who came back from the next dynasty, walked into the main hall.
came back with Yu Linhao, as well as the big Sima Shan Qingyu, the university scholar Qing Cangqiong, and the Dali Temple Qing Liu Yanming.
"The concubine (slave maid) has seen the prince!" When there are outsiders, Ye Ziqi is also a rule-abiding person.
"No courtesy!" Yu Linhao helped Ye Ziqi up.
When Shan Qingyu and the three of them bowed their heads and wanted to salute Ye Ziqi, they heard her say: "The concubine will not disturb the prince's discussion with the three adults." ”
Ye Ziqi, who was waiting for Yulin Hao to leave, heard what he heard: "Since the relationship between this king and Ai Fei has been confirmed, when has there been a secret? Since it is such a coincidence, why don't Ai Fei sit down and listen to it together, so as to save this king from passing on the word again." ”
If you change the era, Ye Ziqi can take Yulinhao's actions as a show of affection, but in this era, it would be good not to be seen as a celebrity.
Of course, this is Ye Ziqi's idea, and the three of Shan Qingyu have never thought of it that way.
The three of them have not forgotten who was the one who forced the second prince of the difficult country to retreat with a dance when they had diplomatic relations. I didn't forget the last day of diplomatic relations, Keju friendly match, who was the biggest contributor to Yuxuan's victory over the country of Turubidum.
It is more clear who is the only woman who talks about political affairs in front of their shrewd, capable, selfish, and unforgiving emperor who can't tolerate a grain of sand in his eyes, and who is not punished, but rewarded.
The most important thing is that their Princess Xuan not only has the same illustrious background as King Xuan, but also has the ability to ensure that the treasury is not empty.
The three of them are not pedantic ministers, nor are they generals with only brute force, the truth is clear!
"His Royal Highness King Xuan, before I said that before I was serious, the lower officials and the other three had something to ask. ”
Yu Linhao meant this, obviously Ye Ziqi already knew what they were going to talk about, in order to express their intentions, Shan Qingyu didn't care about etiquette and took the lead in speaking.
"What?"
Shan Qingyu was about to ask, Xiao Gengzi came in with tea.
Ye Ziqi saw that Xiao Gengzi only served tea, no pastries, and said to the somewhat uncomfortable Hongwen: "You go to the imperial dining room to see, what pastries are there to eat." ”
"Yes!" echoed the red text in the main hall, and Green breathed a deep sigh of relief. This confidential event can be heard by Princess Xuan, but they may not be heard by Princess Xuan's side.
Xiao Gengzi knew that Ye Ziqi was in the main hall, but he didn't expect Yu Linhao to let her stay with him, so he didn't prepare Ye Ziqi's tea.
Xiao Gengzi looked at the tea on the plate quite embarrassed, not knowing who to leave behind.
Looking at the embarrassed little Gengzi, Ye Ziqi said: "I heard the prince say that no courtiers have come to visit this Mingguang Palace. The three adults are the first guests of the Mingguang Palace, and the Mingguang Hall should be entertained. This concubine is just a fun, you don't need to care about this concubine. ”
In theory, the prominent identities of Yu Linhao and Ye Ziqi are indispensable for the tea. In terms of things, Shan Qingyu and the three of them are guests, how can there be any reason to put the guests aside. Ye Ziqi's words undoubtedly rescued Xiao Gengzi.
Xiao Gengzi quickly put four cups of tea beside the four men in the main hall, and then bowed and exited the main hall.
When Xiao Gengzi retreated to a place where he couldn't hear the main hall, Yulin Hao said, "Master Shan, what do you want to ask this king?"
