Looking at the long queue in the courtyard, Shen Qiqi experienced a sense of frustration for the first time.

She really had a brain pump at that time, so she didn't even think about it and suddenly fell into Mo Yan's trap, right?

"Princess, are you going to prepare painting tools now?" Looking at the palace maid and eunuch in a courtyard, the corners of Yue Ling's mouth couldn't help twitching.

Shen Qiqi took a deep breath and looked at Yue Ling, "You asked them to come?"

"It's not. Yue Ling shook her head with a sad face, "His Royal Highness the Prince Regent asked them to come, saying that they were specially helping the princess." ”

"Hehe, I really thank his whole family......" Shen Qiqi squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, looked at the people in Wuyang and Wuyang in front of him, and said with a headache, "You leave a few people, and the others will go back first, you can't draw so much in one morning." ”

"Princess, it was ordered by His Royal Highness the Prince Regent to let the servants come over according to the palace, and those who came today are all from Fengxi Palace. An older-looking maid spoke.

There are so many people in one palace? Shen Qiqi was a little speechless. "It's useless for you to wait here, it's a waste of time, and if you have something to do, you can leave now. ”

"Slave maid...... Yes, sir. The old palace maid hesitated for a moment, and then spoke to the palace maids and eunuchs behind, "If you have something to do, go back first, and leave a few mornings of idle waiting here, and there is no one to serve the master of the province." ”

"Yes, the minions are retiring ......"

"The slave and maid quit ......"

As soon as these words came out, after a while, most of the people in the courtyard left, and the rest waited quietly in line.

Shen Qiqi looked at the palace maid who spoke just now, "Then let's start with you." ”

"Yes, slave and maid obey. ”

Preparing the painting tools, Shen Qiqi carefully looked at the palace maid, and said as he moved his brush: "What is your name and how old are you?"

"Back to the princess, the slave maid is called Luzhu, twenty-five this year, and she is the palace maid of Fengxi Palace. Luzhu lowered his head and spoke respectfully.

"Twenty-five, then you should be out of the palace soon. Shen Qiqi simply jotted down the information on the paper on the side.

"Yes. Midori frowned and nodded.

"What's wrong?" Shen Qiqi smiled, "You're going to leave the palace, aren't you happy?"

The princess laughed. Lu Zhu lowered his head, "Slaves like us can't get out of slavery for the rest of our lives, so what can we do when we leave the palace, it's better to stay in the palace." ”

Shen Qiqi was stunned for a moment, looked at Luzhu's lonely look, and did not speak again.

The palace ladies are allowed to leave the palace when they reach the specified age, which is a long-standing rule in the palace. It's just that if you can't get rid of your slave status, and you are old when you leave the palace, in this era, I'm afraid it will be difficult to marry someone and live a stable life!

Although Shen Qiqi has sketching skills, even if it is a brush painting, the speed of realistic character portrayal is not slow, but at the end of the morning, he only drew about a dozen people.

"Princess, this is a hot veil, please put a quick compress on your wrist. Yue Ling frowned and looked at the eunuch who was packing up his painting tools, "Otherwise, you should go and ask His Royal Highness the regent for mercy, there are tens of thousands of people in this palace, where can you finish painting in a month!"

"Begging for mercy? Shen Qiqi rubbed his sore wrist, "He just deliberately wants to fix me, if he begs for mercy now, wouldn't it be in his arms." ”

Yue Ling made a bitter face, "But, with so many people, how can it be possible to finish the painting!"

"What are you afraid of. Shen Qiqi raised his eyebrows, "He has a good plan, and I have a wall ladder!"

Yue Ling was stunned for a moment, "Princess, have you thought of any way?"

Shen Qiqi looked at Yue Ling, and in the other party's expectant eyes, he slowly spit out two words, "No!"

Yue Ling's little face collapsed suddenly, "Princess......"

"What's the hurry, isn't there still a month!" Shen Qiqi put down the handkerchief in his hand, "By the way, do you know where the emperor is now?"

"Your Majesty?" Yue Ling thought for a while, "It should be in the imperial study, I heard that several places have been affected by disasters on the ground recently, and because of the disaster relief, the emperor has been very worried recently." ”

"Xiao Jijing, worried about disaster relief?" Shen Qiqi was about to stretch her arms for a moment, why did she think this news was so unreliable!"Are you sure?"

"This ......" Yue Ling was also a little entangled, "That's what the father-in-law beside the emperor said to the outside world. ”

Shen Qiqi stood up and moved his sore neck, "Okay, since that's the case, then let's go and comfort the emperor who is worried about disaster relief." ”

Although Mo Yan covers the sky with one hand, no matter what, in the harem, Xiao Jijing's words are still much more effective than Mo Yan. For this cheap brother, she still has to be properly wooed.

Shen Qiqi originally thought that Xiao Jijing's words about disaster relief were just a cover for talking to the outside world. But when she entered the imperial study and saw Xiao Jijing sitting in front of the table with a sad face, she was really stunned.

"Sister, you're here. Seeing Shen Qiqi coming, Xiao Jijing just said hello listlessly.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" Shen Qiqi walked to Xiao Jijing's side and said with some tears and laughter, "Don't tell me, you are really worried about disaster relief." "Could it be that Xiao Jijing suddenly changed sex?

"Sister, do you also know about disaster relief?" Xiao Jijing sighed solemnly, "Alas, it's really difficult to be an emperor!"

Looking at Xiao Jijing's wrinkled little face, Shen Qiqi suddenly felt a little distressed, it seems that although Xiao Jijing usually plays hard, but after all, he is the emperor, and he will still worry about political affairs.

Touching Xiao Jijing's head, Shen Qiqi opened his mouth to persuade, "It will be solved, and there are still officials in the court, so you don't need to worry so much." ”

"It's because of those officials that I'm worried!" Xiao Jijing raised his head and said with some anger, "Sister, they have to say that the treasury is short of silver taels, and what else do they propose to reduce the palace expenses, you say, what if they deduct my meal?"

"Ahem, cough, ahem......" Shen Qiqi almost choked to death from his own saliva, and looked at Xiao Jijing in surprise, "So, you look like this, are you worried about eating?"

"That's right, sister, the regent also said that I should set an example, it's so annoying!" Xiao Jijing muttered. He likes to eat his daily meals, and he can't give up a single one!

Shen Qiqi withdrew her hand a little speechlessly, okay, she really thought too much just now.

Compared with his still sore hands, Xiao Jijing, the emperor, is really very moisturized.

"Sister, why don't you speak?" Xiao Jijing looked at Shen Qiqi, "By the way, Sister, do you have anything to do with coming over today?"

"No ......" Shen Qiqi was just about to speak, but he was suddenly stunned for a moment, his eyes rolled, the corners of his mouth hooked up a little smile, and he looked at Xiao Jijing and spoke, "If I say, I have a way to raise silver taels for disaster relief, and I don't have to reduce the expenses in the palace, are you willing to listen to me?"
